Chapter 1793 This honor is well-deserved.

Upon seeing this, Chu Yuanqing immediately stepped forward, bowed his head in response with an upright posture, and spoke in a respectful tone that carried a hint of familiarity:

"Commander Xu, it is my honor to assist the Blazing Fire Team in completing the mission. It is not hard work at all."

Then Xu Ying looked at Shi Xinxin, a warm feeling welling up in her eyes, and spoke with an exceptionally kind tone:

"Comrade Xiaoshi, it must have been tough following the team all the way. You've also helped take care of everyone and handle the chores. Thank you for your hard work. Potato and Spinning Top, those two little guys, have also been through a lot with you. They're even more endearing than they appear in the files."

Shi Xinxin's cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly nodded gently, her tone shy yet sincere:

"Commander Xu, it's no trouble at all. I'm glad I could help. Potato and Spinning Top were very well-behaved and didn't cause any trouble along the way."

As she spoke, she gently rubbed Potato's little head. Potato rubbed against her palm comfortably, and the spinning top on its head also moved its little body, looking exceptionally cute, which made Xu Ying unable to help but smile.

Finally, Xu Ying's gaze solemnly settled on Li Luo, the gentleness in her eyes gradually turning into admiration and respect, and her tone full of sincere respect:

"Comrade Xiao Li, we have long admired your name. We have seen and remembered everything you have done for the Jinling base and for the country, and the hard work you have put into this mission. You deserve all the credit for successfully escorting the reagents to their destination. Thank you for your hard work."

Looking at the sincerity in Xu Ying's eyes, Li Luo felt a gentle warmth in her heart. She nodded slightly, her tone steady, appropriate, and yet genuine:

"Commander Xu, you flatter me. Protecting our home and escorting the reagents are all things I should do. This time, thanks to the cooperation of Captain Lu and all the comrades in the Blazing Fire Team, we were able to complete the mission smoothly."

Lu Jingcheng stood aside, watching the scene before him, his smile widening. When he turned to Xu Ying, his gaze was exceptionally firm, and his tone was more solemn and sincere than before.

Over the years, Xu Ying has watched him grow from a clueless newcomer into a capable backbone of the team. She has carefully cultivated and patiently guided him all the way. Whether it was the strict requirements during training or the care and advice after the mission, she has never been perfunctory.

In his heart, Xu Ying was no longer just a superior, but also the most respected elder, even like a father figure.

Therefore, he attached great importance to Li Luo's matter. He wanted to formally report his lifelong commitment to this elder, and he also hoped that Li Luo's efforts and contributions could be officially recognized and affirmed. She deserved this honor.

He spoke slowly, adding:

"Sir, Luo Luo is exceptionally capable and resilient. She has averted several deadly crises along the way, steadily protecting the reagents. Moreover, she has always been righteous, and this time she voluntarily handed over the reagents to the country. Her contributions to the Jinling Base and the nation are selfless, yet they deserve everyone's respect and remembrance. In addition, there is something else I would like to formally report to you. You have watched me grow up, guiding and nurturing me all the way. In my heart, you are already the elder I respect the most, so I would like to make this matter clear to you."

"Lolo is first and foremost an excellent guardian, a strong person who does her best for her country, and an independent individual worthy of everyone's respect. Besides that, she is also my girlfriend, and the person I have chosen to spend my life with, the person I want to marry and spend the rest of my life with. I am so proud and I cherish the opportunity to meet such a like-minded partner who respects and supports me, to fight alongside her to protect our home, and to share the everyday moments we share in the future."
