Chapter 1329: I’m Your Boyfriend
“Don’t suppress your sorrow. You still have me. I’m standing in front of you.” Xia Jinyuan wasn’t good at kissing but he knew that both their lips were red this time. He pursed his thin lips that were still hurting from the kiss and said slowly, “Don’t cry alone. My shoulders, my arms, my people are all your support.”
“I’m right here. You just need to raise your head and you will be able to find me. You just need to call me and I will reply to you immediately.” She curled up in a corner and cried quietly. It was as if she had been abandoned by everyone. It was so pitiful that his heart ached.
“I can understand your hardships and your happiness. Similarly, I want to understand your sorrow. With me here, you don’t have to suppress your tears. Don’t be afraid that I will see your sorrow.”
“Who am I? I’m your boyfriend. I’ll be your support for the rest of your life. I’ll be your comrade too. Little Fox, remember that I’ll always be your support. Always.”
Ye Jian, who had been looking up at him, blinked. Tears fell from her eyes. It turned out that he was caring about her again.
“Xia Jinyuan…” she murmured softly. She slowly wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her head in his warm embrace. The tears that she had tried so hard to hold back surged out again and wet his clothes.
The last time she went back to Shuikou Village, she saw Uncle Gen’s hunched back and his hands, which were so skinny that the veins on his arms were bulging. When she heard his suppressed cough, she was already slightly worried. However, she thought that nothing would happen.
There was no such thing as “luckily”. Once something happens, those foolish thoughts would become a joke.
“I thought that nothing would happen. I thought that there was still a lot of time. If Grandpa Gen can continue to accompany me, I can continue to accompany him too. I didn’t go home during every holiday. I didn’t stay to accompany him.”
“Now, I want to accompany the old man. Captain Xia, I want to accompany the old man.” She spoke intermittently. Every word seemed to be stained with blood. Her sorrow stained the air around her.
Xia Jinyuan only dared to hug her waist and listen to her cries silently. Occasionally, he would raise his hand and gently pat her back to calm her rapid breathing or lower his head to kiss her hair to give her silent support.
As he listened to her cry, he used the warmest and gentlest gaze to look at the girl in his arms. “We will go back and accompany Uncle Gen now. There’s no hurry. We will go back now.”
“Uncle Gen won’t blame you. He will only feel gratified. He will be happy to see the child he raised finally grow up and become a soldier who protects the country.”
“His biggest wish is to see you walking towards the military camp and carrying a steel gun. You have done it. Look, you have become a military school student. In a few days, you will have your own military uniform. You have done everything Uncle Gen hoped for.”
That’s right. Uncle Gen, who dedicated his entire life to the military unit, was happy. The child, who was so cowardly that he once felt hopeless, had become sensible. She stood up and became a Special Forces soldier who could protect the country and fight at the frontline.
He was very happy.
Uncle Gen, who had a breathing tube in his nose, had a faint smile on his face. He closed his wise eyes and laid on the bed quietly. His face was a pitiful pale. If it wasn’t for the slight rise and fall of his chest and the waves on the monitor beside him, they would have thought that this old man had passed away.
