Shui Kou Village had become home for Ye Jian. Every time she left, she would Uncle Gen standing by the village’s gate and watched her leave.
In the past, only Uncle Gen stood alone at the entrance of the village. Uncle Chen stood beside him too now; Ye Jian had tears in her eyes but could not help gently curling up the corners of her lips.
“I’m afraid that the chances of me coming back in the future will be much lesser now.” Ye Jian wiped away the tears that were about to roll out of her eyes until she could no longer see the two elders standing there. She continued in a daze, “I don’t know if I can even come back once a year or not.”
Most of the roads from the village to the town and to the city were winding mountain roads. Xia Jinyuan had good driving skills, so he drove extremely safely. Upon hearing her words, he replied with a smile, “If I say that you probably won’t be able to return in four years, will you be even sadder?”
Four years?
Ye Jian, shocked, looked at the guy beside her, who had a slight smile on his face; she muttered, “Impossible to come back in four years? That can’t be true. When I was a soldier, I also had family visits. Besides, I’m just a student…”
Although there was no surprise on her face, Xia Jinyuan could see through her, he smiled slightly, “It is indeed possible. I also didn’t go home for four years. I wasn’t able to call home at all, even during the winter and summer vacations.”
Ye Jian’s heart sank slightly. There was a dark surge in her eyes. Major Xia said that he could not return home for four years. Would she also experience the same?
Why did she have to be the same as him?
The amount of information was a bit too big to digest; Ye Jian couldn’t think too much about it.
The car was quiet for a while. Xia Jinyuan looked at Ye Jian, who was in deep thoughts, from the central rearview mirror. Her thin lips rose a little. With her cleverness, she would definitely think about his words deeply.
The military had adopted his suggestion to train Ye Jian in the direction of the “Almighty Soldier King”. This was done only so that she could successfully become a member of the Elite Platoon and take over the responsibility of another troop.
It was an extremely difficult task for a woman to become special warfare in the special force. Since Ye Jian had the ability to become one, the military would definitely not allow her talents to go to waste. Plus, Ye Jian was treasured by the Major General, so it was impossible for her to have a mediocre life.
The magnificent military career had already waved its hands to Ye Jian.
He drove quietly with a calm expression. Ye Jian, who was already in deep thoughts, gradually became serious as if she had thought of something. She took a glance at Xia Jinyuan.
The man who was driving indifferently raised his eyes and eyebrows at her from the mirror. That stunning smile between his eyebrows made Ye Jian glared at him before opening her mouth to say: “Is it… Is the military deliberately using your training methods to train me? Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to say that I might not be able to go home for four years, just like you.”
Other than this reason, she couldn’t think of why she might not be able to return home for four years like him.
That was why he said his little fox was smart; she could immediately figure out the keynote with just a simple sentence.
Everything was unknown until the matter was completely settled; he just wanted to give her a little heads up.
“Be mentally prepared for not being able to return home for four years. At home… Uncle Chen can take care of it. You will be notified if anything happens.” Xia Jinyuan did not deny or confirm her guess. He maintained a calm smile and said with a jade-like voice. “I believe you also know how high the military’s expectation is for you. Work hard. I will always be in front, waiting for you.”
Waiting for you to join the Elite Platoon, waiting for you to become my true comrade. I will use the most beautiful time to carve the love that belongs to you and me.
