Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the afternoon, Ye Jian and Xia Jinyuan needed to return to the capital city. Initially, they planned to go to the sniper base to visit Principal Chen. However, they didn’t have enough time. It would take them an hour and a half to reach the sniper base from here and about two and a half hours to reach the airport from the sniper base. The flight was at 1:00 pm, so they wouldn’t have any time. If they really went, they would miss their flight.
Principal Chen had been staying in the sniper base ever since he received the military’s notice. He hadn’t gone anywhere. He liked the military unit, training, and interacting with the sniper rifles that would accompany him for the rest of his life. Principal Chen was willing to stay in the military for the rest of his life.
Also, there was a new batch of high-caliber sniper rifles in the base. Principal Chen didn’t want to come out anymore. When Ye Jian called, Principal Chen was still communicating with the two instructors of the base. He was happy and wasn’t affected at all.
Principal Chen’s voice was as deep as a bell when he received Ye Jian’s call. Just listening to his voice made Ye Jian feel more at ease.
She was worried that Principal Chen’s mood would be affected because his identity had been exposed. When she heard his tone of voice, she immediately felt at ease.
“There’s no need to rush over. I’m fine here. It doesn’t matter even if I can’t go out. I’m at the age where I don’t like to move around. Now, I’m cooped up in the base every day, guarding my guns and watching the soldiers train. I feel at ease.
“It doesn’t matter that my identity is exposed. I’m already old. What’s there to be afraid of? I wasn’t afraid when I was young. Now that I’m old, I’m even less afraid.”
Even if Ye Jian didn’t ask anything, he could tell what the child was thinking just by listening to her voice.
Ye Jian was kind and loyal. She knew how to repay kindness. How could he not know what she was worried about?
He really didn’t have to worry. It wasn’t a big deal that he couldn’t go out. He wasn’t willing to leave the military unit anyway.
Principal Chen didn’t have any trauma in his heart. He laughed heartily and said, “I’ve decided to stay here. I’m not going anywhere. I’m just going to guard the base. Girl, this is my roots. My home and roots are here. I’ll guard it happily.
“Don’t worry about me. Take good care of yourself. When you’re free, come and visit me. If you’re not free, then just call to report that you’re safe and let me know how you’ve been recently. That’s enough to make me happy.”
Principal Chen, who had been on the battlefield before, was very open-minded. He was indifferent to everything, even life and death.
It was fine if his identity was exposed. He was just worried that he would implicate Ye Jian.
Ye Jian said that she didn’t have time to come over, which was what he wanted.
“Don’t come over in the next one or two years. I’m not worried about my identity getting exposed. I’m just worried about you. Sun Ying is so familiar with you. Once she reveals her identity and implicates you… That’s what I’m most worried about.”
However, Ye Jian wasn’t worried about herself at all. She was studying in the strict military school. It was hard for the storms outside to implicate her. If someone really came to find trouble with her, she would be happy!
She was extremely willing to turn her attention to Uncle Chen and block the wind and rain for Uncle Chen.
However, Ye Jian couldn’t tell Principal Chen this. If she did, Principal Chen would be even more worried.
She smiled and said, “Uncle Chen, don’t worry. Sun Ying’s side is already settled. They didn’t find anything on my side. Take good care of yourself. I’ll definitely come and see you when I have time.”
