Lu Bu'er suddenly noticed her gaze turn towards himself.
"Major Lu should be able to empathize with this feeling, right? Because you've suffered endlessly from illness like I have, seeing no glimmer of hope, yet desperately clinging to life. Only by living can we justify those who have sacrificed for us, and live up to ourselves."
Xia Zhu smiled silently. "You have your choices, but I also have mine, so do not interfere with me... Besides, you're not soldiers of the Military Department anymore, are you?"
Yuan Qing, already slow-witted, found himself without a comeback.
After a second of silence, Ai Yue conceded, "Forget it. She's right. In these extraordinary times, we really shouldn't be concerned with such matters. But after everything is over, if we discover any unusual actions from the Xia family, we won't stand idly by."
In truth, she now understood what was going on.
