2451 Comrade, Comrade

With lingering fear in her heart, Xu Wen lowered her head and said in a soft voice, “The instructor said that I’m under observation now. If I don’t pa.s.s, I’ll have to leave immediately. At that time, no one will be able to plead for mercy for me. I don’t want to leave. If my father knows that I’ve been expelled, he’ll probably kill me.

“I thought that after entering military school, I would be able to get a military rank after graduation. Now that I think about it, I was too naive.

“I can’t mess around anymore. It seems I’ve cut off my own path. I signed a pledge similar to a military order. If I don’t improve this semester, I won’t be in our dormitory next semester.”

As Xu Wen spoke in a low voice, He Jing handed her tissues to wipe her tears. Xu Wen, who was frightened by the talk she had with the instructor, finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

She didn’t want to give up, but she knew her problem.

!!

After crying, she smiled bitterly. “I haven’t been able to endure hards.h.i.+ps since I was young. When I came to school, the two of you kept looking after me. As a result, I became even lazier. I felt that there was no need to work so hard…”

That night, Xu Wen talked for a long time. Ye Jian and He Jing listened to her quietly. Halfway through, the two of them didn’t express much of an opinion. They only said a few words of encouragement. Other than that, they didn’t say anything else.

What Xu Wen needed now was not encouragement but change. She needed to change herself and not rely on other people’s encouragement. She could only be truly independent if she took her transformation seriously.

“She should know her mistake now. Let’s wait and see in the future.” He Jing waited for Xu Wen to fall asleep before whispering to Ye Jian, “She’s not smiling like before and pretending that nothing happened. I think she’s really reflecting.”

She didn’t want her roommate and comrade to be expelled either. However, Ye Jian was right. They couldn’t take care of Xu Wen like before. They had to let her be on her own.

“It’s not a problem that can be fixed in a day or two. Although she’s reflecting on herself now, she still needs to take action to make change possible.”

Ye Jian already knew what she should do to help Xu Wen. Naturally, she hoped that He Jing would help Xu Wen properly like her.

It was already early in the morning. Ye Jian leaned her head against the window frame of the train and closed her eyes slowly to sleep.

The May holidays were equivalent to no holiday for them. After the three-day exercise ended, the next four days of holiday were mainly for more exercises.

The commendations and reviews would be carried out simultaneously.

The morning sun pa.s.sed through the clouds and brought light to the city that had been raining for three days. In the east, the sunlight floated on the edge of the clouds like a golden dragon dancing. It was so dazzling that one couldn’t look at it directly.

Carrying her luggage, Ye Jian walked out of the National Science University under the sunlight. She arrived at the school at four in the morning and left at six in the morning.

Ye Jian thought that she would spend the next four days in school. However, the Southern Province Public Security Bureau called on May 1st. She needed to rush back to the Southern Province.

It was about Ye Zhifan’s family, and Ye Jian needed to go over. As for why she needed to go over, the Southern Province Public Security Bureau didn’t elaborate. She would only know when she went over.

After walking out of the school, Ye Jian called Hou Zi.

Hou Zi and the Southern Province Public Security Bureau were the ones who called the school.

At 6:00 am in the morning, the faint sunlight in the Southern Province had already shone down. Hou Zi, who woke up early, took the phone from the nanny. When he heard the words ‘Brother Hou Zi’ from the other end of the phone, Hou Zi smiled and said, “You’re the same as Little Six. It’s too difficult to look for you. I was worried that you wouldn’t be able to rush back to the Southern Province in time.”

Hou Zi had been paying attention to Ye Jian.
