In middle age, one's comprehension becomes extraordinary.

Cui Xuan went to find the person; she was quite clever and knew Xia Yao's needs very well.

The entire process was conducted in a very low-key manner.

Since Xia Yao asked from other people around her, she definitely didn't want Li Yuan to know.

Because of the highest level of alert, Kang Yong and the others, who shared a tent with Li Yuan, were all busy at the moment.

Cui Xuan found the person, but they had to meet to discuss things tomorrow morning when they were resting.

Xia Yao wasn't in a hurry and decided to rest for the night.

At daybreak, Deputy Battalion Commander Fang lowered the alert level.

The original red alert level has been changed to orange alert level.

Upon seeing the alert level lowered, the warriors at Sunset Mountain camp seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems the danger has been averted, and we are safe.

In fact, the reason why Deputy Battalion Commander Fang lowered the alert level was because several Grandmaster-level experts had arrived.

The warriors at Sunset Mountain camp have been on edge for the past two days, and he needs to help them relax.

After finishing his night's posting, Kang Yong was invited alone to a Chinese restaurant on the back street of the camp.

Xia Yao and Cui Xuan were the ones who invited him to dinner.

Kang Yong never imagined that one day he would be able to dine at the same table with such a person.

He was just an ordinary teacher at a middle school, but Xia Yao in front of him was someone who was considered a prodigy.

Aside from academic classes, Xia Yao, with her talent and potential, would basically never go to school.

Judging from their family's arrangements, sending her to school to learn academic subjects was more about cultivating her interpersonal skills.

Normally, school leaders wouldn't invite him to dinner.

But today, Xia Yao invited him as a guest and treated him with great respect.

The three of them sat down in the private room.

Actually, this private room wasn't luxurious at all; it was quite simple.

It can't compare to even the slightly better restaurants in Lingshan City.

But this is the front line of the border, the back street of Sunset Mountain Camp.

The fact that such private rooms could be set up in a place like this shows that the conditions have been pushed to the limit.

The three of them ate while Xia Yao asked them some questions.

She set a pre-defined stance for herself.

When she encountered danger, Li Yuan helped her and saved her.

She wanted to understand Li Yuan and then give him some feedback.

Most of the questions asked were about Li Yuan's cultivation, his background, and whether he had any specific needs.

Xia Yao was using these questions to try to dispel Kang Yong's vigilance as much as possible.

To conceal one's true purpose.

After chatting for a while, Kang Yong gradually relaxed and became much more at ease.

Xia Yao didn't actually hear much useful information from him.

Kang Yong and Li Yuan had only known each other for a short time.

How much can one truly understand someone just by staying in the same tent?

Xia Yao was not disappointed; these were not the things she most wanted to know.

Amidst the laughter and conversation, Xia Yao finally asked a question that she was very concerned about.

"I wonder if he has a girlfriend?"

I noticed his marital status wasn't listed on his profile, so he probably isn't married, right?

Xia Yao smiled, as if she were joking, and made a couple of lighthearted remarks.

On the surface, that's how she appears, but in reality, Xia Yao's heart is beating very fast.

Without realizing it, I picked up the juice on the table and gulped down several mouthfuls to suppress my discomfort.

Upon hearing this, Kang Yong smiled and asked, "Miss Xia, are you introducing a girlfriend to our Captain Li Yuan?"

"Sure, I have quite a few outstanding women around me."

If he doesn't mind, I can definitely introduce him to someone.

Xia Yao replied with a smile, using a joking and teasing tone to continue to conceal her true feelings.

"So, your Captain Li Yuan is still single?" Xia Yao followed up with another question.

She hoped to receive a positive answer.

But Kang Yong, on the other side, shook his head.

"I haven't asked our captain specifically, but he's probably not single."

I saw him video chatting with a woman while I was resting one night.

I made a couple of jokes, and he smiled but didn't deny it.

If nothing unexpected happens, then that should be his girlfriend.

Even if the relationship isn't officially confirmed yet, it's only a matter of time.

Kang Yong spoke with a degree of certainty, seemingly convinced that his judgment was correct.

"Is...is that so?"

Then all I can do is wish him well...

Xia Yao tried to force a smile, but she wasn't an actress, so it wasn't that easy to fake it.

However, neither Kang Yong nor Cui Xuan guessed the real reason for her disappointment.

Kang Yong assumed that Xia Yao felt a little regretful.

She probably wanted to introduce Li Yuan to the woman beside her, but it was a pity that the marriage didn't go through.

He never considered that Xia Yao was thinking about her own affairs.

"Our captain is thirty years old after all. He's good-looking and quite capable."

He had previously only clashed with school leaders, which prevented him from getting promoted.

If I were younger and had gotten promoted, I'd probably be married and a husband by now.

Kang Yong continued to make sarcastic remarks.

Hearing this, Xia Yao had no intention of continuing the conversation with him.

"I think our captain and his girlfriend are quite a good match."

Miss Xia, the one you introduced might be even better.

Unfortunately, our Captain Li Yuan didn't have that kind of luck...

Kang Yong was still joking around there.

Hearing his subsequent words only made Xia Yao feel more annoyed.

"I'm still feeling a bit unwell, so I'll go back and rest first."

Here are two bottles of Grade A nutrient solution, please accept them.

After Xia Yao finished speaking politely, she pulled Cui Xuan away.

Back in her tent, she lay down directly on the bed.

Over the years, she has looked down on most of the men who have been around her.

There aren't many people she can admire.

Not to mention, the appearance of someone who can give her a sense of security.

But he already has a girlfriend, what can she do...?

Seeing Xia Yao looking somewhat disappointed, her best friend Cui Xuan came over.

"Yaoyao, who do you want to introduce to Li Yuan?"

He's already thirty years old, and there's probably no one around us who would be a good match for him...

Besides, he was just a middle school teacher.

He has some skills, and his appearance is also quite good.

But many people don't even deserve this status.

Cui Xuan shared her feelings and thoughts.

She thought dating Li Yuan was alright.

He has a good image and temperament; he's a good candidate for a boyfriend.

Although she felt she could get married, her family wouldn't agree, even if she did.

The sisters around them, although they did not have Xia Yao's noble status, were no less impressive.

Marrying Li Yuan would probably be very difficult.

Xia Yao turned her head to look at Cui Xuan. She didn't explain much, only saying that she was still a little dizzy and needed to sleep a little longer.

Upon hearing this, Cui Xuan stopped bothering her.

Lying in bed, Xia Yao recalled Li Yuan's previous behavior.

Including the guidance Li Yuan gave her in that laboratory.

Looking back and reflecting again.

The more I thought about it, the more I realized that Li Yuan's words made sense and that he understood them deeply.

Xia Yao felt that her family might not necessarily object to a man with such abilities.

Even if there is temporary opposition, Li Yuan has such ability and will definitely continue to be promoted.

If Li Yuan is willing to choose her, the two might actually have a chance.

Thinking of this, Xia Yao felt she should urge the camp to quickly distribute the credit that should be given to Li Yuan.

This includes plaques recognizing meritorious service, and so on.
