After more than half a month of getting along with them, Yiyao Duan became familiar with the people
around her. And she also knew that the female security guard had to find someone to replace her
because she suddenly got sick and was hospitalized. She might return to the army after being on duty
for two months at most.
Compared with being a security guard, Yiyao still liked being in the army more. Although the former got
the promotion faster.
At night, Yiyao sat alone on the garden bench, thinking: Now that I’m going to the Sky City tomorrow, is
it possible that I run into him? But it’s better for me not to run into him because I have nothing to say to
him.
There were footsteps behind her, and she knew it was the head of the guard, Eagle, without even
turning around.
“How come you are free at this moment?” Yiyao asked with a slight smile.
He then came over and sat next to her, with his hands in his trouser pockets, being quite leisure and
casual. His resolute face revealed calmness, which was rarely found at such an young age.
He asked: “How do you know it’s me?”
Yiyao said calmly, “Not to mention you, as long as it is someone I know, I can tell who it is by hearing
the sound of their footsteps within three meters.”
Eagle looked at her with slight admiration, saying:“No wonder it is said that you are the powerful figure
of the C Army, you really deserve the reputation.”
“No, it's all my comrades’ overpraise.” Yiyao smiled lightly.
The girl under the moonlight was not as harsh as she was during the day. Her facial line was very soft,
her skin was as clear as a piece of paper, and her long eyelashes blinked. She was really beautiful.
Suddenly, Eagle felt sorry for her. He thought: Girls as old as her are either married or in love, while
she has to fight in immense dangers and difficulties.
After noticing his strange expression, she turned around and asked, “Why are you looking at me like
that?”
“I'm wondering if you have a boyfriend.”
“Huh?” Yiyao didn't expect that the head of the guard who was always serious and indifferent asked her
such a question.
Eagle then asked her, “Is the question strange?”
“Yes.” Yiyao laughed. “What about you, do you have a girlfriend?”
Eagle shrugged his shoulders and sighed, “My parents introduced a few girls to me before, and I liked
one of them and we were together for a few months. But in the end, she dumped me because she
thought I was too busy with my work and had no time for her. And I haven't found a girlfriend since.”
“Then you're better than me. I've never been in love before.” Yiyao remembered a certain person,
smiling bitterly, “I did like someone before, but it’s over between us before we even start our
relationship.”
Eagle turned his head to look at the sky, and said in a low voice, “That’s his loss, for ordinary men can
not deserve a girl like you.”
“Well, if my father heard what you just said, he would both be happy and annoyed. He even would like
me to find a man to marry tomorrow.”
“Commander Duan does not really think like that, right?”
Then Yiyao complained, “Last time he even let me go on a blind date. He always says that he would be
sorry to my mother if I can't get married, making me dare not to see him now. In fact, why do people
have to get married? Being single is also very good, since I can live a leisure life and I can only mind
my own business. When I get old, I can be directly sent into the nursing home and be sprinkled into the
sea after being cremated to become ashed when I die, then this life is also considered to be over.”
Eagle looked at her in surprise, “Nowadays, many girls are thinking about how to marry a good man, I
didn't expect you to think like this.”
“Have you ever been in the battlefield?” Yiyao suddenly asked.
Eagle shook his head, saying:“No.”
Yiyao then said meaningfully, “If you had been to the battlefield, you would feel that your life is a grace
everyday after watching your comrades die. Today I am still here to talk to you, but maybe next month I
will disappear, so why cause trouble for others?”
Eagle had also been in the army , so of course he could understand her feelings.
After patting her shoulder, Eagle got up and said, “Well, don't think too much, you have work to do
tomorrow. Get some rest now.”
“Yes, I will.”
Then he left, and only Yiyao sat on the bench. She said to herself, “This is good, at least you won't
have to part with her now that you are with her, and she can also take care of you. Pretty good.”
The next day.
Xuan Zhao got up early. Although she was pregnant, she still went to the company to work everyday,
because she didn't want the people of the Ye family to think that she was effeminate, and she could
only see Jingyan Ye at the company.
Venus pulled her forearm, saying: “Wait, I'll ask the driver of the family to send you there.”
Xuan immediately refused, “No need, Mrs.Ye, I don't want to be so ostentatious and cause any gossip
for Mr. Ye.”
Venus felt quite relieved, saying: “But you're pregnant, and you can't go there by bus.” At that time,
Chuxue Ye happened to come down from upstairs, then Venus told her, “Eat your breakfast now, and
send Xuan to the company later.”
But Chuxue said reluctantly, “Why do I need to send her?”
“Your store is right in front of the company, if you don't send her to the company, who else could it be?”
Chuxue pouted, “I drive very fast. Now that she is pregnant, if something happens, I can’t pay the
price.”
“Ruyi, how can you talk like that?” Venus became angry at once.
“What I said is true.” Chuxue was the loyal supporter of her brother, besides, she liked Yiyao more.
Xuan said awkwardly, “No need. The villa is not far from the bus stop, I'll arrive there after walking for a
few minutes.
“No, just let Ruyi take you there, she also goes to her store anyway.” After comforting Xuan, Venus
turned around and glared at her daughter.
Chuxue reluctantly agreed under her mother’s serious gaze.
“Okay, okay. Anyway, I won't care if anything happens to her.” Saying those words, Chuxue ran to have
breakfast, and she even asked the cook to pack one.
Although Xuan smiled, she was full of anger, thinking: How come she treats me so badly now that I
have never offended her?
Chuxue's car was a sports car, which was very fast. Before they left, Venus told her: “Drive slowly and
be careful on the road.”
“Mom, this is a sports car, driving it slowly will only be laughed by those experienced drivers. I’m
leaving now.”
