Biodata

Background / History

Yang Shaoqing first intervenes during Fang Huai's confrontation with a burly young man, protecting Fang and helping defuse the situation. Fang's embrace leaves her shy, hinting at her early feelings for him. She is also present for his public breakup with Huang Jiaojiao. 2

While Fang trains at the military base, Yang is invited to participate in a promotional song. She eagerly visits the base with Zhang Zhongting and is curious about military life. 81 During the visit, Fang's uncle and the Chief of Staff mistake her for Fang's girlfriend; she and Fang are reluctant to part afterward. She selects new clothes for Fang and has him promise to seek her styling advice in the future. 83

Her relationship with Fang develops through frequent contact and mutual support. After Fang performs a song she likes on the Changba app, she asks for the sheet music; Fang promises to message her every day. Yang writes a long space log about him and demonstrates insight during her visit to the training ground. 85 She later sends him beef jerky and a toy snake while he is in the squadron, combining practical care with playful teasing. 120

At the squadron open day, Yang arrives unexpectedly and Fang introduces her publicly as his girlfriend. She shares a chicken leg with him, joins his team for lunch, and is accepted by the squadron. 186 She subsequently becomes more comfortable around Fang's colleagues during a fire-safety publicity event. 190

As their relationship grows more serious, Yang discusses future plans with Fang, supports his demanding schedule, and worries about his financial circumstances. 216 252 She travels with Fang's parents, later undergoes a week of intense training as a soldier under Zhao Jincheng, and remains involved in Fang's family life. 265 266

Yang and Fang openly discuss their feelings after the earthquake response. She recognizes his insecurity, reassures him of her commitment, and receives his promise that he will report his safety during missions. 307 They later travel and dine together, though Yang insists on reserving separate hotel rooms, balancing affection with independence. 361

At an amusement park, Yang confesses her love to Fang. He gives her a dolphin pendant and promises to take her to see the sea in China after retirement; they decide to travel the world together then. 465 When Fang visits her home, she rejects an arranged meeting and instead wants to go out with him for hot pot. 509 She accompanies Fang in speaking seriously with her parents about their future, and the two families later hold their engagement party. 511 513
