Even He Jingyan was shocked by Xu Yangyi, let alone the soldiers.

When he was about to tell Xu Yangyi that there was nothing they could do, a girl about seven years old pressed against the car window.

“Mister, my grandmother hasn’t eaten anything for several days. Please give her something to eat, please…”

The little girl cried hard. She ran with the car and shed tears. Her hands and clothes were dirty, and she was skinny.

Xu Yangyi’s heart ached. He couldn’t bear to see this, so he got angry.

He knew why He Jingyan didn’t stop the car, but he pitied them. If no one helped the refugees, they would certainly die.

Xu Yangyi wanted to jump out of the car, but a boy suddenly ran over. He looked around twelve years old, much older than the little girl. Different from the crying little girl, he looked at Xu Yangyi with undisguised hatred.

He was a child, but he had a murderous air that could intimidate an adult.

He pulled back the girl without saying anything. He didn’t seem to accept charities. He was a proud boy.

Xu Yangyi paused. The boy’s eyes told him that they were not beggars, and they didn’t need sympathy from others.

Xu Yangyi’s sudden silence surprised and worried He Jingyan.

“Wife,” he addressed him tentatively.

However, Xu Yangyi didn’t reply, staring blankly at his lap.

After a while, he said coldly, “I’m going to sleep.”

He leaned against the window and closed his eyes.

He Jingyan wanted to hold him to sleep, but he didn’t dare to move, afraid that Xu Yangyi would get angry again.

He Jingyan couldn’t comfort him because Xu Yangyi had to think over some things on his own. It was no use persuading him. He had to know the cruelty of the world.

Long Chen and Zuo Bo let out a sigh of relief. They saw the hatred in the boy’s eyes, which was typical of people who had experienced war.

Xu Yangyi didn’t want to talk to He Jingyan, so he pretended to sleep, but he fell asleep in the end.

When he woke up, he was already in the hotel arranged by the lieutenant of Country Z.

He looked at the luxurious room and thought of what he had seen at the border, his heart aching again.

‘Shall we leave them alone?’

Xu Yangyi was confused.

He heard a conversation. “I called just now. The border soldiers say that they gave the refugees some food when they arrived, but it is not a long-term solution. There are so many refugees that the soldiers finally had to stop giving away the food, or the soldiers would be out of food.”

Long Chen sighed. This was the first time he had felt so miserable, more miserable than seeing his soldiers die in the war. After all, the soldiers died for the country, but those refugees were commoners and would die without the protection of their country.

“Ask Yan Chengyu to send some tents and food over. I can only help them this way. Yangyi is probably still angry with me.”

He Jingyan was upset when he thought about this. He was not a superman, and he didn’t have the energy to care about citizens of other countries.

“He will figure it out himself. After all, he’s young, and this is the first time he has seen this.”

“I hope so.” He Jingyan sighed.
