After being under the influence of two seniors, how would Ye Jian be able to leave an ongoing, top-secret training, and how would she violate the discipline of the military.
If Ye Jian had indeed chosen to leave to accompany Uncle Chen, in that case, Uncle Chen would be completely disappointed, the child he had taught for almost a decade actually abandoned the military, left her responsibility, all for him, such a Ye Jian, such a female soldier, how disappointed, and heartbroken Uncle Chen would be?
That’s why, when he told Ye Jian something happened to Uncle Chen during infusion, he had been quietly waiting for Ye Jian to make her decision.
The few seconds he had waited actually made him feel much more nervous than completing a dangerous mission; from joining the military till now, he had never been that nervous before.
Li Jinnian stated there were 29 hours of mobilization time after the training that she could use freely; at that moment, he almost sided along; he almost gritted his teeth off before he barely managed to keep it in.
Blue Bird never needed anyone to make her decisions for her; with her smarts, she knew to make her own decisions.
When hearing, she had decided to stay; at that moment, he had an urge to cry and shed tears.
She had chosen the decision a soldier should’ve made, that was the most correct decision without a doubt, and he, he didn’t even know what his exact feelings were anymore.
Looking at the sorrow in her heart, hearing her voice that seemed to weep blood, even though he knew she had made the correct decision, his heart did not seem to be relieved of a heavyweight; he only felt heartache, heartache for her, heartache for all the soldiers who had made the helpless choice out of their loyalty for the country.
There’s no such thing as a peaceful time, only people who had carried your burden and marched in your stead; the reason why you who live in a time of peace cannot see the darkness is only that someone had blocked the darkness at someplace you cannot see. Meanwhile, Ye Jian was every soldier’s epitome, sacrificing themselves for the peace of millions of lives.
The desert was too quiet; it was so quiet that time itself seemed to have stopped.
After a long while, Ye Jian saluted at the young Major who had been supporting and encouraging her all along, she who had experienced pain and knew how to hide it whispered: “Thank you, Major.”
“You’re welcome, it’s what I’m supposed to do.” Xia Jinyuan returned the salute.
The two of them were only an arm apart; they wore the same military uniform, the couple who had the same temperament saluted at each other, the moonlight elongated the duo’s shadows in the sands, like two poplar trees that guarded the borders, towering above the sands.
“Uncle Chen is out of critical condition as of yesterday, and because we had entered the deep desert the day before where the satellite signal was too unstable, even though both teams’ command center wanted to contact us, they didn’t manage to reach us.”
“Principal Chen’s situation was dangerous without a doubt, but it was discovered early and he received surgery early, with the combined effort of Yunnan’s People’s Hospital and 301 Hospital’s specialists, after crossing the 72 hours critical threshold, he had been transferred from ICU into a special ward.”
“Because Principal Chen’s identity is special, for caution’s sake, the military had concealed the fact Principal Chen had recovered, the only ones in the know are Regimental Commander Liu, Political Commissar Yan, Supreme Commander Xia and Ground Forces’ Major General. In the unit, only you and me, though the Devil King and the others know a thing or two, but they don’t know Uncle Chen’s identity.”
The two of them walked back to the camp side by side in the dunes; Xia Jinyuan didn’t hide information he had known and told Ye Jian in detail, “The military had applied pressure on the Yunnan Police, demanding them to get their investigation done as soon as possible. About this, the military will step in to handle it, we can’t casually step in.”
He had just recovered from a life-threatening emergency, and now he was sent back into ICU because of a problem with the infusion fluids, the military’s main focus was: there was a problem in the infusion fluids, is it premeditated, or an on the job mistake!
