“You didn’t tell me, so naturally, someone else would. Even though I was shocked when Supreme Commander Xia called me, I was even more surprised when he was actually supportive of the matter.” When he mentioned about the phone call with Supreme Commander Xia, Principal Chen still felt it was unbelievable even now.
He had known that year in No Man’s Land that Captain Xia had a thing for Ye Jian, so he purposely mentioned the Xia clan. Mentioning how their backgrounds aren’t matching, subtly hinting that Supreme Commander Xia would not be willing for his son to fall in love with a female soldier who doesn’t have any background and power.
Who would’ve known…, not only was Supreme Commander Xia not opposed to it, he was instead delighted to see them come to fruition, and had discussed with him to not step between the affairs between the two young’ uns to allow the two of them to develop with time.
Ye Jian stabilized her mind, then gulped down a large mouthful of barely warm boiled water. After clearing her throat: “Captain Xia and I are indeed in a relationship now, but I’ve already told him he’ll have to wait until I’ve graduated from high school before our relationship is truly confirmed.”
“I’ve also met Supreme Commander Xia. He attended the grand review on the last day of the school’s boot camp, and the Supreme Commander’s car drove me home. The thing between Captain Xia and I…” Ye Jian’s expression was extremely unnatural under Principal Chen’s teasing smile. She bit the bullet and continued, “Commander Xia said he wouldn’t oppose it at the time, but I’ll have to take care since I’m still not an adult yet.”
She spoke with a flushed face, like a kid who was sneakily in a relationship, but had been caught by the adults and was very flustered and didn’t know what to do.
Principal Chen laughed, but he did not forget the official matters that he needed to say.
Since the moment he received Supreme Commander Xia’s phone call, he had been considering asking her about it when the opportunity came. This time, the little lass Ye came to him by herself and even showed her hand about the matter. It had saved him quite a lot of effort.
“Captain Xia has a thing for you, and I knew that when we went for training in No Man’s Land, he did not hide it from me at the time. He had also told me he would definitely be someone who would be a good match for you. Also, he was a soldier that would fight for the honor of the country for his whole life.”
“I opposed the relationship beforehand, but when I heard what he said, I’ve decided to stay and watch for now. And from what I see today, Captain Xia is indeed a responsible man and also a remarkable soldier. Leaving you with him, both I and Old Uncle Gen can rest assured.”
Ye Jian was already dumbfounded…
Xia Jinyuan had already told Uncle Chen about his intentions back in No Man’s Land, no wonder… no wonder he said Uncle Chen wouldn’t oppose them, he had already told him that long ago!
“He’s truly a remarkable soldier. I’ve learned plenty from him and also understood much more now.” Ye Jian’s evaluation of Captain Xia was also relatively high. A soldier who would fight for the country’s honor for the rest of his life… He was that type of a soldier.
“Precisely because he’s that remarkable, little lass Ye…” Principal Chen raised his head, he straightened the smile on his face and said with a cold and strict expression: “Precisely because of that, you’ll have to work harder. Work harder not because of him, but for your own self. He is a man who would be a good match for you, on the other side of the coin, you can also be a woman who would be a good match for him!”
“There is no need for you to live by latching yourself on him; there is no need for you to live by relying on his brightness; you have your own tremendous light. Little lass Ye, live and establish a foothold in this world through your own abilities, without needing to rely on anyone else. That is what Old Uncle Gen and I truly desire.”
Xia Jinyuan was a brightly shining star. If little lass Ye didn’t want to be shadowed by his light, then she’ll have to work even harder. The couple would be like stars in the sky, the situation where one depends on the other doesn’t exist, each of them carried their blinding light!
“Uncle can rest assured, it doesn’t matter if I get together with Captain Xia or not, I’ll still be Ye Jian, the Ye Jian who doesn’t need to depend on others!” She’s still her, she won’t change herself because she gained a boyfriend with a prominent identity, neither will she stop her forward march because of this.
