Chapter 1228: Suffer Willingly

Ye Jian and Uncle Gen looked up at the starry sky and chatted. Xia Jinyuan, who went to the military unit to meet the old general and his old comrades, looked up at the starry sky and talked to Commissar Yan.

“The more the military values Ye Jian, the more responsibility she has. I’m just afraid that she won’t be able to handle it at such a young age,” Commissar Yan said half worriedly and half happily. Then, he looked at the young major whose future was getting brighter. He teased, “Everyone knows that you have feelings for Jian.”

Towards his old general and the care he always had for Ye Jian, Xia Jinyuan felt that there was nothing to hide from him. He smiled and said, “Even Commissar knows about it. It seems like I couldn’t hide my feelings from anyone.”

He did not try to hide it from anyone, not even the two elders at home. He had already told them about it, in case his overreaching mother intervened before he could get his girlfriend.

Commissar Yan was stunned for a moment before he laughed out loud. “You’re so honest. I don’t think it will be easy to win Jian’s heart. Even if you do, there will be variables even before you marry her.”

A smart and intelligent girl would be popular wherever she went. Moreover, Jian had a bright future ahead of her. Those young people with good foresight would definitely not miss the opportunity.

Young Master Xia was in the military all year long, they might not even be able to see each other if they wanted to. This undoubtedly gave others many opportunities to pursue Jian. It was not impossible for a relations.h.i.+p to change midway.

Commissar Yan didn’t treat Xia Jinyuan as an outsider. What he meant was very obvious. If he wanted to spend a long time with Ye Jian, it was best to settle the matter so that there wouldn’t be any complications.

“There will be variables if I don’t marry her. There will also be variables if I marry her. The crucial thing is the person.” Xia Jinyuan’s smile spread across his face. He revealed a restrained confidence. “Ye Jian and I are different. We will be lovers and also comrades in the future. Commissar, you can wait for our wedding invitation when the time comes.”

Commissar Yan was naturally happy to see that happen. He also felt that the two of them were indeed compatible. The man was handsome, the woman was intelligent, and they had known each other for many years. If they could really get together, everyone would be happy.

“Sure. I’ll be waiting for you and Jian’s wedding invitation.” As they spoke, he asked about when they would be leaving. They also talked about Ye Jian’s university entrance examination. He cared about her like an elder.

“When the university entrance examination results come out, Ye Jian and I will leave. It will probably take about a week.” Xia Jinyuan answered them one by one with respect in his tone. “Her results have always been good. She has a high chance of getting into the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The military is waiting for her results too. There will be a series of arrangements then.”

He didn’t say the specific arrangements but Commissar Yan could tell that Ye Jian’s future path will be much smoother than before.

A gratified smile appeared on his resolute face. He sighed and said, “Jian has finally made it through. In the future, no matter how tough it is, she will be willing to suffer. If you really want to win Jian over, you must treat and love her well. She suffered when she was young and has a sharp mind. If you do something wrong to her in the future, no matter how sincerely you apologize, it will be in vain.”

Xia Jinyuan’s expression turned serious. “Don’t worry. That day will never come.”

He had seen her suffer. At first, he was attracted to her fearless gaze. Then, he was intrigued by her tenacity. Finally, he was surprised by her intelligence. As the days pa.s.sed, he was attracted to her day by day. By the time he realized his feelings… it was already too late.

It was so late that no matter how much he tried to control it, he could not control it. He could only let nature take its course.
