Chapter 1334: A Lifetime Commitment
Swallowing slightly, Xia Jinyuan pursed his thin lips, “Did the military academy send anyone over?”
“Yeah. Major General Yang personally contacted NUDT. The school was very cooperative. They brought Ye Jian’s student ID and military uniform over by train. It will arrive at 8 a.m. tomorrow… and will reach us around noon.”
Upon hearing this, Xia Jinyuan’s eyes sank, “It takes seven hours for the shuttle bus to travel from the city to the town. I’m afraid it will be too late. I’ll arrange a private helicopter. Political Commissar, can you call the air traffic control and have them approve it?”
“Okay, no problem.” Political Commissar Yan had no idea how many times he had sighed tonight. He was also afraid that it would be too late. He also thought about whether he should call for the military helicopters again.
Principal Chen, who received a call at the entrance of the town’s health care center, ran all the way upstairs. When he arrived, he saw Xia Jinyuan standing under the dim yellow light. Before he spoke, Xia Jinyuan, who heard the movement, raised his head and greeted, “Uncle Chen.”
“You’re back.” Principal Chen took a few steps forward. With his bloodshot eyes, he spoke only one sentence and repeated it several times: “You’re back, you’re back.”
You’re back, you’re back, you’re back. And so is Ye Jian. Just in time to see Old Uncle one last time, the Old Uncle can rest peacefully now.
Life and death is not an unfamiliar experience for Xia Jinyuan. As a special soldier on the front line, he has experienced several separations in the past few years, but at this moment, he still felt heartache.
“Ye Jian is with Uncle Gen inside. She never stopped crying since we received your call. She only slept for two hours after I told her that the two of us need to take turns driving.” Xia Jinyuan explained Ye Jian’s situation first, so Principal Chen wouldn’t have to worry, “She is pretty good now, her emotions are stabilizing.”
“It’s just that she couldn’t take a step forward when she entered the ward just now, she is still afraid that the moment will come.”
He knew all of this in his heart, but the moment was about to come, and the calm Ye Jian would be so sad. He was afraid that she would lose control.
Xia Jinyuan was afraid that she would be too sad. He was afraid that she would hurt herself.
“With Old Uncle Gen around, Ye girl will listen to what he says. She will listen to what he says.” Principal Chen spoke in a low voice, and his eyebrows frowned in grief, “Old Uncle often says that his life has been worthwhile, even if he leaves one day, he will walk in peace of mind.”
“The only thing that he worries is Ye girl. Later when you go over, say something that will reassure him, so that he can rest in peace.”
Principal Chen’s words made Regiment Commander Liu and Political Commissar Yan’s eyes red. This first-level sergeant major, who dedicated his life to the army, took care of an orphan selflessly, gave her the best education and a bright future. And now, he was leaving. Anyone would feel reluctant.
Xia Jinyuan nodded solemnly, “Uncle Chen rest assured, I swear by my life, I will take care of Ye Jian my whole life. I will be with her through ups and downs, I will not give up!”
Political Commissar Yan and Regiment Commander Liu only realized the relationship between the two after hearing this, but their faces didn’t show much joy. Instead, they were worried.
Lieutenant General Xia… would he agree?
“I’ve long informed my dad. He had already recognized Ye Jian as his daughter-in-law. I have already called my dad on the way here. He will arrive in town at about 6 a.m. tomorrow.”
“Old Uncle worries about Ye Jian. I will let him leave peacefully, without a hint of concern.”
