Facing the young Major who was concerned about Ye Jian’s sake with all his heart, Uncle Chen let out a chuckle: “Major Xia, after making Ye Jian so wonderful, aren’t you afraid it’ll be like drawing water with a bamboo basket? All in vain?”
Cultivating Ye Jian in every aspect like this, it was clear how much painstaking effort he had put in.
“Does Uncle not trust Ye Jian? Or do you not trust me?” Xia Jinyuan smiled elegantly, standing underneath the warm sunbeams with jungle camo on him, he had a leisurely calmness around him, “No matter when, there’s no such thing as drawing water with a bamboo basket, all in vain.”
Regarding matters concerning Ye Jian, Uncle Chen always discussed them patiently with him. Noticing the confident look between his brows, though he praised him in his heart, the words he spoke were different, “What do you mean by that? Ye Jian’s currently a famous person in school. When she gets into military school, she’ll be like a golden dragon that leaped out of the pond. A girl like that, I believe she’ll have quite the number of suitors.”
“Uncle Chen, you’re wrong.” Facing an elder that always reminded him to treat Ye Jian genuinely in different ways, the Major, who was a special forces soldier, behaved very decently, while also not losing any generosity, “The more amazing Ye Jian becomes, the higher her expectations rise. The higher her expectations, it’s inevitable that she’ll become picky when choosing someone.”
“If someone wants to catch her eye in the future, normal soldiers can only step aside. In this way, most of these suitors can only stare at her from afar. And the ones remaining, the excellent soldiers that can catch her eye, they’ll still have to be categorized into the excellent and the elite.”
“When the growing Ye Jian becomes one of the elite, she’ll once again widen the gap between her and the excellent, Uncle Chen, do you think she’ll still have many suitors in the end?”?
“Besides, people that can become elite special forces soldiers like Ye Jian, who is also the elite, who can fight alongside her, I’m pretty sure there aren’t too many.” Xia Jinyuan started chuckling while he was talking, his growingly mature elegance gained a squint of pride when he smiled, “No matter how many elites are beside Ye Jian, I, from the start till the end, will be the most excellent soldier in her eyes.”
“A beloved person who matches her, who can fight alongside her, who lives and dies together.”
His words made Uncle Chen let out a chuckle, “Ye Jian has a good eye, not bad. I believe that you and she will become comrades who live and die together and will also spend your lives together favorably.” He sneaked a glance at the slender, unmoving figure. “I’m going to have a chat with Major General. With you guarding here, I can relax.”
Chinese New Year means the time of reunion for myriads of families, but for soldiers and officers on the frontline, this meant the start of their year-long training.
The armored vehicle platoon had just finished their maneuver exercise and took a break in a grassland within this rainforest. All Ye Jian needed to do was climb a not-so-big hillside, and she’ll be able to see plenty of armored vehicles parked alongside each other as they took a break.
Ye Jian, who had arrived four hours ahead of time, knew she had entered a military controlled area, and only relaxed her nerves and allowed herself to repay her sleep debt.
She originally wanted to rest her eyes for a little while, regain some strength, who would’ve known after falling asleep… she slept for quite some time.
On the other side, the Major General finally saw the expert he always wanted to know was cultivating Ye Jian towards a world-class sniper since she was 13, 14 years old; after taking a look, there’s an odd sense of… familiarity as if he had seen him somewhere.
The Major General was fifty-four years old, while Uncle Chen was forty-seven years old, their age was only seven years apart, if they really had seen each other somewhere, it’s impossible for him to forget.
When Uncle Chen walked closer, the Major General suddenly took a long step towards him; while he was walking, he looked him up and down once again, and he was more and more certain who the person cultivating Ye Jian was?
Chen Dongfeng, the soldier king of the 70’s! A legend that belonged to the military of the 70’s, the God of War of those who had enlisted in the 70’s!
