As the topic of class students was mentioned, the instructors who went to the cafeteria together had a problem to talk about.
“Students nowadays are really talented. We can’t compare with them. The other night, I was doing night patrol, and I overheard two boys solving a math problem in the toilet. I stood outside, listened to them for a long time, but I didn’t know what they were saying at all.”
“One of the students in my class is very good at English. He even sings English songs. Although we are just their instructors, we are not as knowledgeable as them.”
Each class had left a profound memory for the instructors. The students were not around anymore; they would never know that the instructors they used to call strict and boring, actually had a soft heart under their camouflage uniform. They would also never know that their instructors reminisced about the moments they had with the students.
The instructors slightly smiled, their eyes were still bright and sharp, but this was the other side of them that the students would never see.
However, Ye Jian was able to be with them at a close distance. She could really walk in their lives, be close to their lives, and see the other sides of the instructors, and she knew that they also felt sad to leave.
They were soldiers who were about to retire at the end of the year. When winter comes, and when the first snow falls, they would take off their military uniforms and leave the barracks. At that time, no matter where they went, they would still remember the students that they once taught.
Frankly, it was a beautiful thing to keep good memories and think about them in the future.
They did not ask Ye Jian why she did not leave. They just walked with her and chatted with her naturally as if they were all comrades who had been together for a long time.
The two Principals from First Provincial High and Sixteenth High School had not left yet. They had to hand over some things clearly before leaving. Ye Jian, who was walking with the instructors, was pondering whether or not she should go meet Principal Cao first, when the stand guard, who had told her that the Commander-in-Chief wanted to speak to her earlier, was walking towards her direction.
Seeing the guards, the instructors who were talking and laughing along the way with Ye Jian, finally realized that Ye Jian, too, was leaving the army.
Some deep sighs could be heard; Instructor Huang gently patted Ye Jian’s shoulder: “I’m afraid I won’t have a chance to meet you in the future. If we have time, we will take some days off and go to the provincial capital to meet you.”
Instructors and students were not allowed to have private contacts, but Ye Jian was different. The instructors had always felt that this girl was like an actual soldier.
Ye Jian naturally welcomed them, but… She pouted and sighed: “I won’t have any holidays until the end of December. I have afternoon classes from Monday to Thursday, and from Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon, I won’t be in school too. I’m afraid you are not able to find me when you’re there.”
“We will talk about this then. It is actually a violation of our discipline to meet you in private.” Instructor Huang chuckled, but Ye Jian’s schedule was tight. Oh well, they would meet when time permits.
After bowing to all the instructors, Ye Jian turned around and glanced at the guards beside Commander-in-Chief Xia, and then… Her heart started beating fast.
Commander-in-Chief Xia, who did not even have time for lunch, noticed the girl approaching them with his guards, and said to Xia Jinyuan: “I’ll talk to her later, you stand beside me and listen to us, do not interrupt.”
Everyone would be sitting in the same car anyway, so Xia Jinyuan was not worried about others overhearing their conversation, he chuckled: “Dad, that’s not going to happen. I can already see from your face that you do not have any good intentions. I will speak when I must, and you can’t stop me. “
