Xiao Yanqiu was worried about Xiao Chunsheng and wanted to go to Yunnan to see him. Xiao Chunsheng lied, claiming that he only had minor external injuries and was recovering well. He asked Xiao Yanqiu to take good care of Xiao Yanpei at home, but Xiao Yanqiu still couldn't rest assured. Qi Tian advised her not to overthink.

The doctor examined the two bullet fragments in Xiao Chunsheng's spine, which were compressing the nerves in his lower limbs, causing mobility difficulties. If the fragments were not removed in time, there was a risk of worsening, leading to lifelong paralysis. However, the local hospital had limited medical capabilities, and the doctors had never performed such a high-difficulty surgery. Tong Xiaomei wanted to take Xiao Chunsheng back to a hospital in Beijing for treatment and immediately called her classmates in Beijing.

When Xiao Chunsheng felt helpless about his injury, Duan Lei came to see him and revealed that Ye Guohua had become a great hero who infiltrated the enemy camp and obtained important information. Xiao Chunsheng was just an injured soldier who accidentally stepped on a landmine. Duan Lei couldn't help but make fun of Xiao Chunsheng. Xiao Chunsheng didn't expect Ye Guohua to take credit for his achievements and could only smile bitterly.

Ye Guohua accompanied He Hongling to visit Xiao Chunsheng. Upon hearing Duan Lei praising Ye Guohua as a great hero, Ye Guohua blushed with embarrassment. Xiao Chunsheng quickly found an excuse to send Duan Lei away and gave Ye Guohua the opportunity to be alone with He Hongling. He Hongling was saddened by Xiao Chunsheng's injury, and Xiao Chunsheng tried his best to comfort her.

Ye Guohua asked Duan Lei about his conversation with Xiao Chunsheng and learned that Xiao Chunsheng hadn't revealed the whole truth. Ye Guohua went to explain the situation to Xiao Chunsheng, expressing his reluctance to take credit for Xiao Chunsheng's achievements and wanting to clarify things with their superiors. He believed that if Xiao Chunsheng's condition was known, there was a possibility for Xiao Chunsheng to be promoted. Xiao Chunsheng desperately tried to stop him, fully aware of his own injuries. He willingly gave up the hero's title to Ye Guohua, allowing Ye Guohua to fulfill their childhood dreams. Ye Guohua vowed to do everything possible to help Xiao Chunsheng stand up again.

During a visit by high-ranking military officials to the artistic troupe, Commander Huang recommended He Hongling to accompany the heroic group and give speeches in various places. He Hongling came to explain the situation to Xiao Chunsheng and learned about his injuries from Tong Xiaomei. Whenever she had free time, Tong Xiaomei would take Xiao Chunsheng out to bask in the sun and cheer him on. Xiao Chunsheng's mood gradually improved, and the local villagers even regarded them as a couple.

Ye Guohua gave his first public speech recounting his heroic deeds. He spoke awkwardly and nervously, and when he reached the part about defusing the landmines, he felt very uneasy. He stuttered while speaking, and He Hongling could tell that something was bothering him. Ye Guohua revealed the story of Xiao Chunsheng risking his life to shield him from the explosion, and He Hongling felt that Xiao Chunsheng and they were not on the same path. She advised him not to blame himself and to strive to fulfill their dreams together, which would be the greatest reward for Xiao Chunsheng. Only then did Ye Guohua feel slightly relieved.

He Hongling learned from Tong Xiaomei that Xiao Chunsheng might never be able to stand up again. Commander Huang revealed that she would be promoted to the leader of the orchestra after this tour. He Hongling was caught in a dilemma. She didn't want to lose Xiao Chunsheng but also didn't want to give up this opportunity for promotion. Xiao Chunsheng often called home, but no one answered. It wasn't until he desperately questioned Xiao Yanqiu that he learned his father, Xiao Yanpei, was hospitalized due to a cerebral hemorrhage and had passed away. Xiao Chunsheng was heartbroken and felt utterly devastated.

The company commander came to see Xiao Chunsheng, who was impatient to return to his former unit. His father's only hope before he passed away was for Xiao Chunsheng to serve in the military for a lifetime. The company commander didn't outright refuse him but advised him to focus on healing. Xiao Chunsheng suddenly understood everything and felt his spirits plummet to the lowest point.
