“Little Jian’er, you really missed the excitement. After you left in the morning, my dad came in the afternoon. Alas, I was scolded so bloody. I’m afraid he would have used a whip to slap me if he hadn’t endured it.” Xu Wen patted her chest with fear. Although she became tan, she was still full of energy. “I have already made a promise. If I fail this semester, I will leave the military academy myself.”
“It’s not leaving the school; it’s directly leaving the military field itself…My dad is really ruthless. He wants to directly end my future. Where can I go if I leave the military field completely?”
“My dad is really cruel this time; I don’t dare to be hard-headed. Otherwise, I will suffer. Besides, I was woken up by the scolding last time. So it is better to be more active and not to be lazy anymore.”
When she said so, Ye Jian and He Jing smiled at each other.
They were glad that she figured it out. They were afraid if she didn’t figure it out, she would eventually become the first student in the class to be dropped out.
When Xu Wen left, He Jing whispered to Ye Jian, “Uncle Xu was quite fierce at the time. I think the school called him and told him about Xu Wen’s performance. When she returned to our dormitory, her face was so dark that I didn’t even dare to breathe, and my heart was beating so fast.”
“Uncle Xu is even a Colonel. Several leaders were in the courtyard when he came, but he actually scolded Xu Wen in front of the leaders and faculty staff. I wanted to sneak away so Xu Wen wouldn’t be too embarrassed. But Uncle Xu personally asked me to stay.”
“He even said, “Little He, you are her comrade and her roommate. The faculty staff all said that Xu Wen usually got your help, and another comrade Little Ye, otherwise she would have long been kicked out by the school.”
“You must stay, don’t be afraid to shame her, which of those things she did is not a shame to herself? Your reputation should be earned by yourself, and not wait for others to give you. If you embarrassed yourself, then don’t blame people for knowing your faults.”
Recalling the scene at that time, He Jing’s heart still jumped in panic, “I almost fainted. I wanted to get my blanket and cover my face.”
“Xu Wen was crying so much, she was about to lose her breath, but Uncle Xu didn’t allow me to comfort her. He even ordered her to write a letter of guarantee with her fingerprint cop, then only he let her go.”
The entire scolding took a total of half an hour.
Ye Jian felt that Uncle Xu’s scolding was quite effective.
Xu Wen only dared to escape because there was always a way out.
She thought that it wouldn’t be a big deal if she really had to leave the military academy because she could just transfer to another school. Anyway, with her grades, she could transfer to a higher education institution in Beijing.
But Uncle Xu directly destroyed her thoughts. Instead of allowing her to transfer to another school, he directly warned Xu Wen that she would have to leave the military field entirely if she failed again. There would be no way for her to get all her files, and the fact that she thought of transferring to another university to study would just be a dream that couldn’t be achieved, not even a lifetime.
“Uncle Xu did it right, though. Only this way, she could really immerse herself in training as there is no second choice for her.”
In the following week, Ye Jian secretly observed Xu Wen’s performance, and she was really proud of her.
All her laziness before was swept away, and now she kept insisting on doing everything, and she also knew to take the initiative to decline the help from their male classmates. She still gritted her teeth and persevered even with tears in her eyes.
On Friday morning’s five-kilometer training, Ye Jian was completely relieved of Xu Wen’s performance. The five-kilometer training required them to run with a five kilograms load, and although Xu Wen lagged behind, she kept gritting her teeth and insisted on not giving up. Their instructor also said approvingly that if she continued to train hard, she would definitely be able to improve her physical performance.
Ye Jian was happy for Xu Wen.
On Friday afternoon, Father Fu personally came to the school to pick Ye Jian up. They were going to return to Yunnan Province to visit his deceased wife.
