……
An Jiaxin rubbed her forehead. How could she forget her classmate, Ye Jian’s innocence in certain aspects?
But what does train together mean?
At this moment, Ye Jian did not intend to hide some of her secrets anymore. She lay on the bed and watched with narrowed eyes, at her good friend, who had always helped her without enquiring about her, she whispered, “Jiaxin, I need to tell you something.”
“Ah, what’s the matter? Why suddenly so serious?” An Jiaxin, who was frightened by her solemn expression, quickly put away her smile and frowned: “Is something wrong with you and Comrade Xia? Did he bully you?”
In an instant, her face sank, as long as Ye Jian said “yes”, she would immediately rush out to teach that man a lesson.
Her reaction warmed Ye Jian’s heart; she quickly replied: “No, I want to tell you about my application to be a volunteer, and also about my future plans. I haven’t told you about it, and I feel guilty.”
“My God, you scared me to death, I thought it was a big deal. I don’t care if you tell me or not, why would I get offended by this kind of thing?” An Jiaxin smiled disapprovingly, with a relaxed expression, she continued: “You always have arrangements for doing things. If you can’t tell me about the application, then you must have your own reason.”
An Jiaxin was definitely a friend worth making. She seemed carefree, but in fact, she had a lot of principles. Becoming a friend with her was not only a kind of luck but also a way of learning from her to behave in this world.
Ye Jian stretched out her arms and gently hugged her friend, who had so much confidence in her, “My ambition is to join the military camp, so I only apply for one school, and I am admitted to the National University of Science and Technology. By then, if we want to keep in contact, it can only be done through letters. You can also leave me a message on QICQ; if I can go online, I will reply to you.”
……
Today was probably a surprising day for An Jiaxin. She knew she was dumbfounded again upon hearing what Ye Jian said.
Her friend’s ambition was to join the military camp, and then… she only had one wish: to enter the National University of Science and Technology.
Was the National University of Science and Technology the “Chinese University” or “West University” in the military academy that had an incredibly difficult entrance test, the one that only had three or four available places in Yunnan Province?
I… Oh, my God!
“I’m a little dazed, let me calm down first, let me calm down first.” An Jiaxin took a deep breath, and then exhaled a long breath, then asked carefully: “Were you influenced by your boyfriend that’s why you want to join the army?”
Ye Jian smiled and said, “No. I was influenced by Uncle Gen and Principal Chen. Do you remember that I quarreled with Ye Ying and her mother during the second year of junior high school? Principal Chen talked to me after the matter was resolved. That time, I felt that I was always being bullied by Ye Ying’s family. I must find a way out, and that was how I started to have the idea of joining the army.”
“In the beginning, I just wanted to not live to be too useless, but then I completely fell in love with it. I liked the shout of commands when I was training with the soldiers; I liked the feeling of picking up guns, hearing the sound of bullets, and wearing jungle camouflage to fight with the soldiers.”
“This field, Jiaxin, I have been in this field for four years, and I will go on one after another for another four years until I can no longer put on the military uniform.”
An Jiaxin felt like she was listening to a fairy tale. Four years…, Jian’er was determined to join the army since four years ago. Mama mia! Didn’t four years ago happen to be the time when they were in the second grade?
In the second year of junior high, the thing that I thought all day was: I wonder what the snack bar is selling today, I will try it later.
