Chapter 1693 Suddenly Having A Father
“Those days will only consist of self-blame, day after day, perhaps even for a lifetime! Your comrades will blame themselves for not finding out in advance; your combat commander will blame himself for not strengthening your training.”
“You have sacrificed, but you have left more pain for your comrades. Is this what you want to see?”
Ye Jian clenched her teeth and took a few deep breaths before suppressing her surging emotions. She kept her voice steady and answered, “No, this is the least I want to see!”
Ye Jian, whose eyes had become a little red, was utterly shocked. How could she be willing for her comrades to blame themselves because of her mistake!
“Very well, remember what I said, and remember your identity! You are a soldier, a soldier who will go to wars with guns and fight with death all the time!” Commander-in-Chief Xia was not furious, and he believed that she could understand.
After the criticism, Commander-in-Chief Xia’s voice suddenly eased. The first part of the call was between a military leader and an erring soldier; the next part of the call was between a father and his future daughter-in-law.
In an instant, his voice became more kind, “Then let’s talk about you and Xia Jinyuan.”
What happened between her and Captain Xia?
Although Commander-in-Chief Xia’s voice was kinder now, Ye Jian didn’t relax at all, “Sure, please say what you want to say.”
Commander-in-Chief Xia sighed because he could hear from the few words from her future daughter-in-law that she was still restrained from talking with him, “Little Ye, aside from my identity in the military department, I am still your elder; you have to recognize this.”
You have to recognize this…, the change of identity was so drastic, it frightened Ye Jian so much that she almost dropped the phone.
Recognition, recognition, too much recognition!
“Don’t be too restrictive; just treat me as your father. This is just a conversation between a father and his daughter-in-law.” Commander-in-Chief Xia not only could hear that Ye Jian was uncomfortable but also sensed a wall between them. He was not angry at her for being careful.
Instead, he enlightened her carefully, “If you have any grievances, please call me. This is my personal phone number. Remember it. As long as you feel dissatisfied, you can just call me and talk to me about it.”
Ye Jian: “…” She seemed to know why Captain Xia was a little bit sloppy sometimes; it must be heredity. All of a sudden, Commander-in-Chief Xia had become her father.
At the other end of the call, Commander-in-Chief Xia continued to speak kindly: “I have no daughter, I only have a son, Xia Jinyuan. I am very strict with him because he is a man, and he has to be responsible and hold up the responsibility as a man. While you, you are a girl. Who wouldn’t want to adore and take good care of their daughter?”
“But you are also a soldier. I can’t treat you too kindly, but I will definitely treat you as a daughter who needs her father’s care, and if you’re wronged, I will stand up for you, like a father standing up for his daughter.”
Ye Jian, who was originally worried, heard this, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
Father…, she hadn’t said the word “father” for a long, long time. Listening to Commander-in-Chief Xia’s kind voice, Ye Jian bit her lower lip, stopping herself from crying.
Family affection. She hadn’t received family affection in her previous life, and in this life, God seemed to be more kind to her.
How lucky she was in this life!
“Little Ye, this time Xia Jinyuan was really too ruthless. I hope that you will not blame him. Your identities are destined to be different. Your journey, your hardships, and the sin you two will suffer are also destined to be different. As a special soldier, you need agility, perseverance, bravery, endurance, and self-discipline.”
