Xia Jinyuan’s gauze-wrapped hand lightly touched the wound on the corner of Ye Jian’s mouth. The young major’s eyes were no longer cold as they were during the confrontation; they were only gentle as water now.
“I’m sorry, little fox.” He got up and gradually bent down and gently touched her lips with his also bruised lips. He didn’t dare to use force, fearing that she would feel pain, so he pecked her like a splash of water and left. He adjusted her blanket carefully and then sat back again.
He quietly looked at the face that was sleeping soundly because of the anesthesia, pursing his mouth.
Just like that, he watched her, guarded her, and accompanied her. No one disturbed, nor making any noises. The ward was so quiet that it was enough to hear both of their breathing intertwined, making people feel at ease.
After some time, the phone in Xia Jinyuan’s pocket buzzed, breaking the calm. He immediately took it out and picked it up.
At the same time, he got up and walked to the balcony that was only available in single wards.
He gently closed the sliding door. While standing outside, he focused on Ye Jian on the hospital bed while saying: “Dad, you speak slowly, don’t get angry.”
“Are you crazy? How could you beat up your girlfriend to the hospital, aren’t you usually sensible? Why were you kicked in the head during critical moments and became a fool?”
Commander-in-Chief Xia ridiculed his son on the phone. He was definitely his father because he was not afraid of Xia Jinyuan, “I am already good enough when I call you a fool. Ye Jian should be punished if she made a mistake, but you don’t have to punish her to this extent.”
“Now you see, your girlfriend is lying in the hospital. I have a foreboding that the chances of her becoming my future daughter-in-law is totally impossible now! Xia Jinyuan, if you scare your future wife away, no way, you go back and explain to your mother. I won’t accompany you, and I’ll let you bear her scolding. I only have three words for you: you deserved it!”
Why is there a mismatch between junior comrade Xia and senior comrade Xia? Well, this is the root cause.
Senior comrade Xia would never say any comforting words if his son committed any mistakes outside. This was how he was last time, and this was how he was now as well; he would not change.
Junior comrade Xia was also used to it by now. He had accepted such a unique love from his father. Was it so difficult for him to say some caring words? He must ridicule him then only he would feel satisfied?
But was he really satisfied? He seemed to be getting more and more annoyed the more he talked.
Rubbing his forehead with his fingers, Xia Jinyuan said, “Dad, I’m also thinking about how to change my girlfriend’s mind. You call just in time.”
“Little Ye really mentioned breaking up?” Commander-in-Chief Xia’s pitch went up a little bit. It was obvious that he was worried, “Good thinking. Any normal girl would think so because you beat her up to such an extent. You better go apologize to her properly. If you can’t change LIttle Ye’s mind, then don’t bother coming home for Chinese New Year this year. Just celebrate it on your own outside.”
This was definitely his father; only this man could say such words to his own son!
Xia Jinyuan snorted coldly, “Don’t you laugh at me so soon.”
“Heh, it’s not me. You can handle this by yourself. You just need to know that I only approve of Ye Jian as my daughter-in-law; I don’t want anyone else.” Commander-in-Chief Xia immediately felt relieved after hearing that his son would not give up Ye Jian; instead, he would stand his point and change her mind.
Commander-in-Chief Xia hung up the phone very quickly after feeling relieved, without giving Xia Jinyuan any heads up.
Xia Jinyuan sighed. He sat back down on the bedside and held Ye Jian’s hand, and whispered, “Little Fox, you must not break up with me. We can talk things out properly; just don’t mention sad things.”
