Chapter 1083: You Make Me Proud
“I didn’t expect to see you after 18 years!” The major general felt emotional as he looked at the legendary ace soldier of the 1970s. “That year, I went down to the camps with the old chief. Your regimental commander reported his work and immediately introduced you to the old chief after that.”
“Old Chen, I still remember your superior marksmanship clearly! No wonder I felt that Ye Jian’s way of holding her gun seemed familiar. When I first saw that girl, I knew that she had great potential. I didn’t know that you were the one who groomed a talent like her!”
Uncle Chen… didn’t have much impression of this major general. In the past, he saw too many people. When he reached middle-age, he wasn’t willing to recall the past anymore. Occasionally, when he had a dream, he would dream that he was walking in a bloody mist. If Jian didn’t appear in his life, the dream would have continued.
When he took a break and started to relax, he would naturally think of the past. He put all his mind into grooming Jian. He felt as though he had returned to the battlefield and returned to his era. Rather than saying he groomed Jian, it was more accurate to say that Jian allowed the rest of his life to become more complete.
The major general knew that this 1970s ace soldier didn’t recognize him but it didn’t matter. He knew Uncle Chen, that was the most important thing. “Let’s have a seat in the tent.” Even though the major general was in a high position now, he didn’t know why Principal Chen retired from the military in the past.
Uncle Chen didn’t reject him. He didn’t expect this major general, who might become Ye Jian’s superior in the future, to know him.
The people in the commander tent chatted happily. Outside the tent, the sunlight was still warm. Ye Jian opened her eyes comfortably. Suddenly, she turned around and stared straight at the figure standing against the sunlight.
Captain Xia! Why was he here?
She was always shocked every time she saw him. He always appeared in impossible places. How could she not feel shocked?
“You slept for two and a half hours. You must be really tired.” When she woke up, Xia Jinyuan smiled and walked over. His gaze turned into a ray of warm light. Along with the faint sunlight, it landed on Ye Jian. He carefully and gently touched her face. 15 days of inferno outdoor survival training… She really pushed through on her own.
She completed a challenge that even male soldiers had to mentally prepare themselves for a long time before taking on. Also… she completed her mission ahead of time.
Ye Jian squinted slightly. The sun was a little bright. It shone on the leaves in the valley and occasional diamond-like bright shimmers could be seen. The grassland was bright too. There seemed to be tiny broken shards of lights sprinkled on the grasses. Xia Jinyuan walked against the sunlight as he moved towards her. Every step he took landed on the shimmers. He seemed to be bringing his splendor with him like a God.
“Captain Xia.” Ye Jian smiled. She was very happy to see him. She was happy to see Xia Jinyuan who was wearing a camouflage uniform like her. She saw his mighty aura like a king who came back victorious from war. He must have experienced sacrifices and must have seen his comrades collapsing.
He had seen it and experienced it. Yet, he continued standing tall.
He was always her role model and her goal!
When he saw her smile, Xia Jinyuan felt his heart drop a little. She was smiling but the tiredness in her eyes was apparent. There were dark circles under her eyes too.
The after-effects of the outdoor survival training had appeared on Ye Jian!
He lifted his hand and patted her shoulder lightly. “You did great, Ye Jian! You are the best soldier I have seen in this current era!”
My little fox, I will feel proud for my entire life with you by my side.
You make me proud. At the same time, I promise that I will make you proud too!
