Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
There was a lot to talk about, so Commander Xia didn’t take the elevator. Instead, he led Ye Jian and the guard from the eighth floor to the first floor.
The guard in front was walking ahead, so he could trigger the light sensors for the rest of them. Like the guard in the back, he kept an eight-step distance from Commander Xia. He could keep an eye on the situation around him without disturbing the commander-in-chief’s conversation with Ye Jian.
When it came to serious matters, the commander-in-chief’s voice was very serious. “I’m very relieved to have you accompany me. The matter of conferring a title is not that big of a deal, but it concerns future promotions, experience, and qualifications. After all, the two of you can’t work in the special forces for the rest of your lives. When you reach a certain age, you’ll have to take a back seat. At that time, your qualifications and experience will affect your promotion.
“If it’s not something that belongs to you, don’t force it or snatch it by force. However, you have to grab hold of what clearly belongs to you. When it comes to your future, you can’t be careless.
“Little Ye doesn’t have much ambition. According to him, he can be a special forces soldier for the rest of his life. He really likes his current career and is happy to devote his life to it. However, Little Ye, even if I support your decisions, you two can’t really be special forces soldiers for the rest of your lives.
“I also have selfish motives. I hope the two of you can go further and wider on this path. And the promotion of military rank will affect your future military career. Little Ye, I hope you can understand my arrangements.”
Not only did Ye Jian understand, but she also fully supported him.
She was very touched by Xia Jinyuan’s sacrifice, but the price was too high for her to bear.
How could he give up his promotion because of her? How could she allow herself to become a roadblock to his future?
When she returned to the ward, Ye Jian saw that the man who had not slept the entire night seemed to have fallen asleep. She did not go in immediately. She stood quietly at the door and looked at him gently.
‘Captain Xia, you’ve done so much for me. I can only spend the rest of my life with you.
‘You must have held back your promotion because I once said, ‘You just have to wait for me. I’ll definitely catch up to you.’ Therefore, you were unwilling to advance.
‘Back then, I said that before we made our relationship clear. It turns out that you remembered it all along and even took action.
‘Captain Xia… How can I not love you deeply? How can I not spoil you and dote on you?’
“Why aren’t you coming in? Did my father tell you about my promotion?” Xia Jinyuan, who was just pretending to sleep, opened his eyes and looked at her gently. “Come here and lie on the bed with me.”
Ye Jian closed the door and lay quietly with her arms around him. After a while, she said softly, “Captain Xia, don’t stop for me. I’ll try my best to chase after you. I’ll try my best to get to you.”
“Yes, it won’t happen again.” Lowering his head to kiss the top of her head, the soldier’s heart softened like water. “I’ll always be ahead. I’ll let you see me so that I won’t get lost walking.”
“Okay. Remember what you said today. Never stop because of me. I’m touched, but I don’t like it. I don’t want to be a hindrance. I just want to be your motivation.
“I’ll make sure to catch up to you too. You said we’d walk side by side. You must believe I have the ability to walk side by side with you. Okay?”
“Yes, I always believe in my little fox,” Xia Jinyuan closed his eyes and said softly. He was a little tired. As he spoke, his eyes became heavy and his voice became softer.
