As for why Xia Jinyuan did this, Ye Chien believed that he would give her an answer that she could accept.
Because he understood her better than anyone else.
Xia Jinyuan laughed at her unconditional trust.
"You trust me so much? Aren't you afraid that I'll tell you that I've known you for eight years? " Xia Jinyuan laughed so hard that his dark eyes seemed to be shining brightly. He sighed and said, "Eight years. I've known you for eight years."
Eight years. How many days and nights did it feel like just yesterday?
That year, they met by chance in the mountains. Ye Chien was not yet 14 years old and was still in her second year of middle school. Today, Ye Chien had graduated from the military academy and was serving as a military officer. She was leading a group of female soldiers who might become the first female special forces unit in China. She had a heavy responsibility and was carrying the hopes of the military leaders.
From an ignorant, stumbling little girl who was confused about her future, to an active military officer who had a clear direction and a clear goal, Xia Jinyuan could be said to have witnessed Ye Chien's journey.
He had seen her at her worst, when she was at her toughest, and when she was at her most glorious.
They had too many things in common and too many things to talk about. Even though they were in the same unit, they did not interact much in private and only nodded at each other when they met. However, the two of them had the same thoughts and were very satisfied with just a short exchange of glances.
Eight years. She had known Captain Xia for eight years. Ye Chien, whose eyebrows were filled with warmth, said softly, "Mm. It's been eight years. I think I've only known Captain Xia for a short while."
"I also feel like I've only known you for a short while. If Old Man Xia hadn't reminded me two days ago, I wouldn't have thought that I've known you for eight years."
"I told you so many things tonight, but I didn't tell you in advance. Fortunately, you're not angry. Otherwise, I would have to think of a way to make you happy."
"Then I'd better say I'm angry. That way, you can make me happy." Ye Chien immediately smiled and said, "I just don't know how you're going to make me happy. I'm quite curious."
"I'll make you forgive me. I'll make you smile when you see me and not get angry. I haven't thought of a specific method yet. "
Now … Ye Chien was being coaxed by Lieutenant Colonel Xia to the point that the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl upwards. "Then what's the reason for you to keep talking about me?"
Xia Jinyuan paid special attention to his back. After confirming that there was no movement, he lowered his voice and told Ye Chien the real reason.
"To lay down a cornerstone for the future. You and I can't stay in the brigade forever. When we reach a certain age, we'll leave the brigade. At that time, it's unlikely that you and I will retire immediately. Instead, we'll take another path, one that's different from the one we're taking now."
"The foundation of the other path is not something that can be built in a day. It is accumulated over time. Every piece of cornerstone that is laid may make the other path easier for us in the future."
"The consideration of a politician is something that you and I have never considered before. It's also the benevolence of a parent."
Commander-in-Chief Xia was already 62 years old. At most, he would retire when he was 70 years old. Xia Jinyuan was six years older than Ye Chien. When the Commander-in-Chief retired, Xia Jinyuan would leave as the leader of the Snowfield Brigade in less than two years. Then, he would have to make arrangements for where he would go.
Moreover, Xia Jinyuan's military rank would at most be Senior Colonel. Any higher and he would be Major General. There was a huge gap between Senior Colonel and Major General. Countless Senior Colonels had stopped there and found it difficult to advance any further.
