Chapter 3163 The Best Wors.h.i.+p

Xia Jinyuan raised his hand to wipe the cold tears at the corner of her eyes and asked her, "Do you remember what I said to you after you pa.s.sed through the forest in Yun Province one year and met Xu Yu"s team when they were on a clean-up mission? A scout called Xiao Zhi died there.

"Ye Jian, if one day I or you die, every bullet shot at the enemies will be the best tribute to the martyrs!

"Ye Jian, remember what I said. You must remember it well. None of us can guarantee that we will be able to return safely after every mission. We may be sacrificed. At the same time, we would"ve protected this piece of land that we love. J5 is like that.

"Why did J5 insist on pa.s.sing on a message to you before he left? Ye Jian, with your intelligence, you must know his good intentions. That"s why you must walk out of your sorrow. You can"t be afraid of facing whatever trouble lies ahead because of J5"s sacrifice. Do you understand?"

His tone was very serious. Ye Jian couldn"t escape at all.

Actually, she just didn"t want to think about the loss…

"Captain Xia, I"m not running away. I"ve always been facing it. The sword dance you saw today was the way I was facing it. I"ve already walked out."

Ye Jian had indeed walked out of her sorrow, especially when she heard Xia Jinyuan saying that J5 had seen his comrades before leaving and that he had left her a message. The sorrow in her heart seemed to dissipate bit by bit.

"Thank you, J5. Thank you for letting me, who was reborn, understand the value of life."

The precious thing about life was that there were things you wanted to do, people you wanted to protect, homes you wanted to protect, and precious friends.h.i.+ps.

The living comrades had to do what the sacrificed comrade didn"t manage to do. Ye Jian would live well, wear the military uniform, carry that responsibility, and walk every step of the way with J5"s unfinished wish in mind.

Xia Jinyuan believed everything she said. She said that she wasn"t running away. She said that she had always been facing it. She said that she had already walked out of her sorrow. He believed her.

That was because she was the little fox who bravely faced difficulties and was able to shoulder responsibility with her weak shoulders. She was able to walk a bright path for herself.

Snow started to fall from the sky again. Xia Jinyuan gently patted the snowflakes that landed on her shoulder. "You"ve been so brave for so many years. You always let us see a new side of you."

After so many years, she had already walked through huge difficulties. No matter how difficult it was in the future, she would continue walking on.

She would live for her comrade who had pa.s.sed away, for those who cherished her, and for herself.

"Captain Xia, sing me "Giving My Comrade a Gift". I want to hear it…"

"Okay, let"s go find them and sing together. I don"t think we"ve ever sung together, right?"

"Mhm."

"I saw your dance tonight, and I"m going to sing with you later. We"re creating memories.

"In the future, we"ll have many different beautiful memories. When we"re old, we can sit by the fire and lie comfortably in rocking chairs to tell our grandchildren about our memories of when we were young." Ye Jian walked toward her comrades with a hopeful smile in her eyes. She said in a low voice, "At that time, we"ll have white hair and we"ll reminisce about our young lives. It"s beautiful when I think about it."

That kind of life was indeed desirable. Xia Jinyuan couldn"t help but narrow his eyes. "That"s right. When the time comes, we can call our former comrades over. We can have a few drinks and some appetizers. The lives of the elderly are carefree."
