Li Jinnian, who was preparing for a long speech, first scanned the scouts sitting side by side with his eyes. Upon receiving his cold, knife-like gaze, the three scouts turned their necks to the side and looked out the window together.
……
They had been discovered!
After scaring the scouts, Li Jinnian said solemnly: “Commander, I know you are doing this for my sake, but I really don’t have any romantic feelings for Ye Jian.”
“I admire her very much, just because female soldiers like her are rare in the army. Every male soldier will be amazed by her capability and appearance. And me, as a man, a very straight man, is certainly amazed as well.”
“I also have to admit that Ye Jian is definitely a girlfriend who is very suitable for us soldiers, because she wears the same military uniform as us, and she carries a gun to fight for our country and our people. She is very good, and every male soldier will inevitably be moved.”
“Even Big Shark is interested. If Ye Jian came to the army a few years earlier, he said he would even write a love letter to her. You know, Big Shark is already so old that his kids are already several years old.”
When the Commander heard this, he still felt a bit funny, but he said in a straight face, “Since you are as vulgar as the other male soldiers, then okay, no problem! As long as you two spend more time together, you two will soon have a spark.”
“Just like our generation, what we rely on for marriage at that time depends on the matchmaker. The matchmaker would come to talk about the situation in the homes of both parties. And if both parents agree, they don’t even ask what we have in mind. You don’t even know how the person you’re going to marry looks like! When you get married, you get together, and after a long time, the feelings will come.”
“You guys met each other somehow and know each other. Besides, you admire Ye Jian. You have all the conditions, so why are you still stubborn? You should make a move when it’s the right time to do so; a girl like Ye Jian doesn’t come so often; where else could you find a good girlfriend like her?”
Li Jinnian had planned to finish talking in one breath but was interrupted by the Commander. Now, he was even thinking that he and Ye Jian could have a chance to develop more feelings for each other; why did it seem that the more he talked, the more confused the Commander was?
Raising his hand and rubbing his temples, Li Jinnian, who rephrased his words in his heart, decided to make a long story short, “Okay, I’m going, being honest, I don’t have any affection for Ye Jian. Similarly, Ye Jian has no affection for me.”
……
He had explained so much, and yet the Commander still wanted to talk about romantic feelings!
What’s the point of talking about romantic feelings! There were no feelings between them now, so how could there be any feelings after marriage? He really didn’t understand what the Commander was saying.
The Navy Commander felt panicked, “I’m asking you to have her in your hand first, and then slowly cultivate your feelings. Do you not understand, or are you just pretending to be stupid?”
“Commander, feelings can’t be forced. Your age is different from ours, so there is no way for me to chase her first and then talk about feelings later.” Li Jinnian was helpless. He had told the Commander clearly that he had no romantic feelings for Ye Jian. Why wouldn’t he believe him?
Li Jinnian’s heart suddenly fell silent, thinking about this.
Could it be that the things I usually do have caused some misunderstanding to the Commander and made him think that I have romantic feelings for Ye Jian? Or was it something I said?
If so, wouldn’t Xia Jinyuan also misunderstand it?
This thought quickly went through his mind. He recalled some of the things he and Ye Jian had talked about during their training. However, after going through the conversations in his head, Li Jinnian could say with certainty that he really did not say or do anything that would cause any misunderstanding!
