"Unless you can find a time machine right now and travel back to before you gave away the money."

Su Xiao lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes again.

Just then, a hand gripped hers tightly.

The keyboard stepped forward, blocking Su Xiao's path.

"It's okay!"

"Money can be earned back! As long as we're alive, that's all that matters!"

She turned around and gripped Su Xiao's shoulders tightly with both hands.

"Xiaoxiao, look at me!"

"It's only two hundred thousand! If you can't pay it back, I'll help you pay it back!"

"Although my military allowance wasn't much, I didn't spend much! And when I'm discharged, I'll get a discharge bonus."

"If that doesn't work, I'll learn to code after I'm discharged from the military!"

"With my skills, making money shouldn't be difficult, right?"

The keyboard player became increasingly agitated as he spoke, fearing that the child might do something foolish again.

"As long as we're alive, as long as we have our hands and feet, there's no obstacle we can't overcome!"

"If things don't work out, we can always start over!"

Su Xiao stared blankly at the keyboard.

At that moment, the keyboard seemed taller than ever to her.

Yes.

As long as people are here, friends are here...

Su Xiao took a deep breath, wiped away her tears, and then gripped the keyboard tightly.

"That's right!"

"I've figured it out too!"

"As long as you're by my side, I have hands and feet, even if I have to wash dishes, I can earn the money back!"

"As long as we're together, we're invincible!"

The two girls looked at each other and smiled.

The wind seemed to have gradually stopped.

Chen Zheng couldn't help but smile slightly as he watched this scene.

The needles never stop; watch the two girls applying the needles without stopping.

……

Half an hour later, he was also gathered together with the believers, waiting for Bai Tianmao to take over, and then the matter would be over.

Su Xiao had already taken off his white robe and was now wearing a spare training uniform jacket over his keyboard.

She held a cup of hot water, but her gaze remained fixed on the people who played Mulan.

An Ran deftly removed the holster from her leg, Meng Yi wiped her bone knife, and Lamu laughed heartily as she vividly described her performance to Guo Huaiying.

These girls are about the same age as her.

But the confidence, the flamboyance, and the sense of strength that made Su Xiao stare in disbelief.

This is what life is, compared to praying by candlelight in a dimly lit banquet hall.

A strong impulse rose within her.

Su Xiao suddenly turned around and grabbed the hand of the keyboard next to her.

"Keyboard, I want to join you too!"

The keyboard froze: "Huh?"

"I'm serious!" Su Xiao gripped the keyboard tightly. "I want to join the army too! I want to be like you, able to protect myself and the people I care about!"

"And once I join you, I can be with you forever, right?"

These words amused the female soldiers who were packing up their equipment.

"Hey, Keyboard, your girlfriend is pretty ambitious."

Ram threw her backpack onto the car and came over with a grin.

"Great job, girl! You have excellent taste! Our Mulan is the best in the entire military region!"

"Come on, I'll protect you!"

Guo Huaiying scratched his head sheepishly.

"I think it's reliable, after all, the food in the cafeteria is pretty good."

Looking into Su Xiao's hopeful eyes, Jianpan felt a surge of emotion.

If I could really be in the same unit as my best friend...

"no."

A cold voice rang out.

The smiles on everyone's faces froze.

Su Xiao's body trembled, and she subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

Chen Zheng leaned against the hood of the jeep, not even looking up at Su Xiao, but just blowing on the goji berries in his cup.

"Mulan is not a shelter; you can't just come here whenever you want."

Su Xiao's face turned pale instantly.

But she didn't want to give up.

Having just witnessed the power of this group, how could she be willing to return to her weak self?

"Instructor."

Su Xiaosong loosened her grip on the keyboard, mustered all her courage, and stood in front of Chen Zheng.

"I know I'm not physically fit, but I have special skills!"

"I'm good at graphic design! I'm proficient in Photoshop and all that!"

"I can help the team with promotion, posters, and even tactical demonstration diagrams!"

"PS?" Chen Zheng's lips twitched. "Are you serious?"

"These skills might be enough for a clerical job in the propaganda department, and you could even do quite well with them."

"But in Mulan?"

"You're not even fit to be a logistics staff member."

Everyone fell silent.

Su Xiao felt as if she had been slapped in the face in public, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears again.

The keyboard next to me got impatient.

That was her best friend; she couldn't just stand by and watch.

"Instructor!"

The keyboard stepped forward, as if to plead for mercy.

"Su Xiao is very smart! She was a top student when she was in school, and she can endure a lot of hard work."

But when Chen Zheng glanced at her, the rest of her words caught in her throat, and she shrank back.

Fine, if I can't just stand by and watch, then I'll just not watch.

Su Xiao subconsciously clenched her teeth, then raised her head, still wanting to try her best.

"I know I'm not physically fit, but I can train!"

"Diligence can make up for lack of talent! I have perseverance! No matter how hard or tiring it is, I can stick to it!"

"I'm determined to change myself! Please give me a chance!"

"will?"

Chen Zheng suddenly laughed out loud, then stood up straight and pointed to the team members behind him.

"It's true that diligence can make up for lack of talent, but you've got one thing wrong."

"In our team, apart from being excessively diligent, there isn't a single clumsy person."

"Come on, let me introduce you."

He pointed at Anran, who was cleaning her gun.

"This is An Ran, the military region's shooting champion. She can make bullets curve after just a few days of practice."

Then he pointed to Meng Yi.

"This is Meng Yi, the daughter of a hunter from the Greater Khingan Mountains. Her assassination skills are among the best in the military region."

Finally, he pointed to the keyboard.

Even your best friend.

"She's the top hacker in the entire military region. Just now, she single-handedly crippled the entire resort's security system."

"They have talent and ability."

Chen Zheng walked up to Su Xiao and looked down at the innocent girl.

"I'll leave all that aside for now. You're talking to me about willpower?"

"What were you doing while they were wallowing in the mud?"

"What were you doing while they were fighting wolves in the primeval forest, hungry and in a near-death experience?"

Su Xiao's face turned deathly pale instantly, and her body swayed precariously.

Chen Zheng noticed it, but he didn't stop.

"You're being completely fooled by a smooth-talking charlatan with just a few words, handing over your savings and your dignity to a bunch of swindlers!"

"A person who is easily brainwashed and lacks even the most basic sense of right and wrong."

"You dare talk to me about willpower?"
