At the police academy, Lu Yinong was the most diligent among the female students.

She had good physical fitness and, coupled with her willingness to endure hardships and study hard, she excelled in everything.

Old Li felt he had found a good seedling and called a comrade in Lu Yinong's registered hometown to chat.

He wanted to learn about the child's family situation and also keep her in Beijing.

Beijing is great, a glorious place that brings honor to the whole family.

The comrade said, "Forget about it. If she really wanted to live that kind of life, your police academy wouldn't have admitted her in the first place."

Old Li was disappointed but still couldn't let go of this idea, always thinking about trying to persuade her.

Young people are unpredictable. Who knows where their hearts will settle?

Lu Yinong was good-looking and had a stable personality, which not only endeared her to her elders but also made boys like her.

When classmates were entrusted to inquire about Lu Yinong's feelings, she simply said she had no intention of dating.

There were too many important things in her life, and she didn't have much space for herself.

Her already scarce emotions were mostly devoted to that goal.

The remaining small portion was kept in her dreams, allowing her to relive the warm moments with her parents before the age of six over and over again.

As new batches of junior students came in, there were always curious newcomers who wanted to pursue that outstanding flower.

Lu Yinong kept her distance and remained aloof, and the boys understood, gradually changing their direction.

A good bird chooses its tree to roost on, and she became the most lofty branch on the tree, always within reach but never plucked.
