Chapter 1083 You Are My Pride
“I’d never imagined the last time we met was eighteen years ago!” The Major General looked at the Legendary Soldier King of the 70’s, millions of emotions welled onto his heart, “All those years ago I was under the old leading cadre’s company. After your then Regiment Commander finished his report, he immediately introduced you to the old leading cadre.”
“Old Chen ah, your remarkable marksmanship skills ‘of a hundred paces’ is etched into my mind like it had happened yesterday! No wonder Ye Jian1’s way of holding her gun seemed so familiar; the first time I saw that lass, I believed she had great potential. It turns out she’s your pupil, you’re cultivating!”
Uncle Chen… doesn’t remember the Major General, he had met way too many people all those years ago, and after entering his middle age, there are things that he wasn’t too keen on remembering. Sometimes the dreams were fogs of blood, and he was wandering aimlessly around in the blood fog; if it wasn’t because of little lass Jian’s appearance, those dreams would still continue.
After stopping his feet, and without anything weighing him down, it’s inevitable that he’ll remember the past. By putting his all into cultivating little lass Jian, it seemed like he had returned to the battlefield, returned to the decade that belonged to him, instead of saying he was cultivating little lass Jian, it’s more like little lass Jian had made the rest of his life more satisfactory.
The Major General knew the 70’s Soldier King didn’t recognize him, but that doesn’t matter; all it matters is that he knew him, “Come sit in the tent.” Doesn’t matter if the Major General had climbed up to his position today, as to the reason why Principal Chen had retired, he still knew nothing about it.
Uncle Chen didn’t refuse; he himself hadn’t imagined that the Major General that was very likely to become Ye Jian’s superior knew him.
They chatted cheerfully in the commanding tent, the sunbeams outside the tent were still warm, shining on Ye Jian as she comfortably started gently opening her eyes, then suddenly turned around, her gaze landed straight on the figure standing in the sunlight.
Captain Xia! Why’s he here?
Every time she sees him, she can’t help but be surprised. He always appears at impossible timings; how can she not be surprised.
“You’ve slept for two and a half hours, it looks like you’re really exhausted.” After she woke up, Xia Jinyuan2 wore a smile as he walked over, his gaze turned into a warm sun, landing on her body along with the thin beams of sunlight; he then delicately and gently caressed her pretty face, fifteen days of extreme wilderness survival… she had really pulled through it alone.
She had completed a challenge that even male soldiers needed to prepare themselves mentally for a long time, besides…, she had completed her training ahead of time.
Ye Jian squinted her eyes; the sunlight was a little bright, the illumination on the leaves in the mountain range made them seem like they were glittering like diamonds. Even the grass was acting similarly as if a carpet of crushed light was paved on it. While the suddenly appearing Xia Jinyuan walked towards her with the sun behind his back, every step, he took stepped on the thin beams of light, as if he brought the light with him, giving him a celestial appearance.
“Captain Xia.” Ye Jian smiled; she was really happy she could see him. To see Xia Jinyuan, who was wearing the same camouflage as her, to see his kingly aura after returning from battle, he must have experienced sacrifice. He must’ve seen the moments his comrades had fallen.
He’s seen it, experienced it, but he still remains infallible.
He had always been her learning example, her target for improvement!
Seeing her smile, Xia Jinyuan’s heart dropped slightly, though she was laughing, but she still looked very exhausted between her brows, and there’s a gloomy look surrounding her.
The effects of wilderness survival had started to appear on Ye Jian.
Stretching out his hand, he gently patted her shoulder, “You did well, Ye Jian! You’re the best Soldier I’ve seen in this generation!
My little fox, with you by my side, that’s also something I will be proud of for the rest of my life.
You have become my pride, while I, similarly, aspire to be your pride!
