Xia Jinyuan spoke softly with Old Uncle Gen. The forty-year-old military doctor cleaned Ye Jian’s wounds while earnestly persuading her: “The old man has reached the age of elders, he can talk to us a bit when he is conscious. This shows that the old man’s heart is relieved. Since you are his only relative, how can you harm yourself? This will only make him worried about you.”
“Being kind to yourself is the greatest filial piety to the elderly, understand, little girl?”
In fact, Ye Jian didn’t know why she bit herself. If it weren’t for the military doctor’s words earlier, she wouldn’t have felt any pain at all.
Nodding shyly, Ye Jian, whose tears were wiped off her face, calmed herself secretly. She had to control her emotions. Everyone knew that Grandpa Gen was most worried about her. How could she disappoint Grandpa Gen?
The military doctor saw her eyes gradually became calmer; even the sadness visible between her eyebrows was smoothing away bit by bit. There was a firm look in her bright eyes, and the military doctor couldn’t help but smile.
Ten minutes later, Ye Jian, with a gauze wrapped around her wrist, thanked the military doctor, got up, and went back to the ward to continue to accompany Old Uncle Gen.
Xia Jinyuan was still talking to Old Uncle softly. Although he knew the old man could not hear him, he still continued, “With you here, Ye Jian will know that she will always have your support wherever she goes.”
“Old Uncle, open your eyes when you have enough sleep. We are all waiting to hear your voice. I am waiting for when I will go fishing with you. Also, when I have a wedding with Ye Jian, I also want to offer you a cup of tea, thank you for your teachings, thank you for cultivating her to become a talent, and let me have the chance to date such an incredible girl.”
Standing at the door, Ye Jian heard the voice of her lover, laughing at a moment and crying at the other, whispering to Grandpa Gen. Grandpa Gen was her family. Uncle Chen was also her family. And Captain Xia would also be her family in the future.
For them, she had to cheer up and not make them worry.
Wiping away her tears, and then gently patted her cheek, Ye Jian took a deep breath, held up her chest, and took a firm step into the ward.
Hearing the movement, Xia Jinyuan turned his head and saw Ye Jian come in. He swept away the decadence he had just now, showing tenacity, just like that Ye Jian, who faced training and showed no timidity in the face of war.
She had adjusted her emotions and mentality.
“I’ll watch him. You sleep for an hour.” Xia Jinyuan took her hand and led both of them to sit on the bench together. “Someone from the army will come to visit Old Uncle during the day. You, as Old Uncle’s relative, and the only granddaughter, must cheer up, understand?”
Ye Jian did not refuse anymore, “Okay, wake me up in an hour.”
She must cheer up so that when Grandpa Gen woke up, he could see her in her best mental appearance. She wouldn’t want to let him worry, let alone make him feel sad!
Although Ye Jian didn’t sleep well, she still slept until 6:30 a.m. She blurry heard Xia Jinyuan talking, “Dad, you came here with the leader of the military academy, right? How many guards have you brought with you? You’ve taken a private helicopter. The captain can only take up to five people. There are two people from the military academy. So you can only bring one guard.”
“Yes, all arrangements are in order, and the air route has been approved. The two leaders of the military academy will arrive at Anyang Railway Station at 8 o’clock. Dad, you go to the railway station and wait for the leaders first.”
Only Xia Jinyuan could directly make arrangements for Lieutenant General Xia to wait for Someone somewhere.
