An Jiaxin, who was chewing gum in her mouth, retracted her feet and looked at her mother with a serious expression: “Mom, the old man lying inside is Ye Jian’s grandfather and her most important relative. I want to accompany Ye Jian. It doesn’t matter if I don’t sleep all night.”
“I am her friend. Whether or not she will need me later, Mom, I have to stand at a place where I can see her. If you’re tired, you should go rest, don’t have to bother about me.”
At this moment, Dr. Zhou really felt that her daughter had grown up. She patted her on the shoulder and looked at her, lovingly, “You’ve grown up. You know how to give, how to be kind, and even more know how to be grateful.”
“I hope that your friendship with Ye Jian will maintain its purest at all times. Cherish this rare and precious friendship. I won’t persuade you anymore.”
When children are older, they have different ideas from adults. They have their own measures and attitude towards life. As adults, we don’t need to control our children all the time. When the time is right, we should let go.
An Jiaxin smiled, holding Dr. Zhou’s hand, her face was full of tenderness, she whispered: “Thank you, Mom. Now you go have some rest. I won’t go to the ward. I’ll just watch from here.”
The doctor on duty’s office was at the entrance of the ward; she could see if Ye Jian came back or not from here.
Dr. Zhou touched her daughter’s black hair and reminded her: “Ye Jian’s grandpa is not an easy person. You’ve seen all the officers from the army come and go, right? Don’t forcefully squeeze past them when you see Ye Jian, don’t cause any troubles, understand?”
Besides, Ye Jian, who could persuade all the girls in the entire dormitory to be admitted into the country’s top universities, it was obvious that she was a highly self-disciplined and extraordinarily independent child. Such a child would have her own arrangements; she wouldn’t need too many people to guide her. Her daughter could accompany her quietly.
“I know, I know. I have known Ye Jian for five years, Mom, I know her better than you. Go rest, go, go.” Then, An Jiaxin pushed Dr. Zhou’s shoulder and walked her towards the lounge.
This so-called lounge was basically just an area, separated by a screen, and behind it was a single bed just large enough for one person to lie down.
As soon as the mother and daughter walked to the lounge, they heard footsteps coming from outside. An Jiaxin turned her head and saw a familiar figure walking out from the narrow office door, and accompanying her was the soldier who she didn’t dare to look directly at.
She had her boyfriend with her. An Jiaxin was relieved.
“Just now… that was Ye Jian, right?” Dr. Zhou also turned her head, narrowed her eyes a little, and asked again, “It should be Ye Jian.”
An Jiaxin nodded with surprise on her face, “It’s her, Mom, you go to bed quickly. I’ll go to the door to see.” Since there were not many people in the middle of the night, she stood at the door and watched. She would leave in the morning when there were more people.
It really was Ye Jian! The one who was not afraid to face criminals, and who was always calmer than an adult… She had not seen her for four years; her aura was really shocking.
Even if she didn’t see her face-to-face, even if she had only seen her walking by, she could see from the way she walked, Ye Jian didn’t look like a nineteen-year-old at all. Instead, she looked like the army officers who had come and gone in the hospital recently.
