Principal Chen was not a local resident of Shuikou Village. He was always far away from his hometown, so he was accustomed to having a âhomeâ all over the world. He felt less homesickness than others. He had served as the principal of Fujun Town Middle School for more than ten years, and even then, his stay was arranged by the school.
âSure, letâs not go back. I will go wherever you go.â
Ye Jian spoke too fast, too happy that Xia Jinyuan couldnât help raising his eyebrows, coughed lightly, and waited for her to look at him, so he could say in time, âThe sniper training base in Yunnan Province is very convenient to go to the airport. If you are free, you can actually come to the capital to stay for a while. My dad and my grandparents will be very happy to have you.â
âI talked to my dad in the early morning and told him that I plan to go back to visit him in the afternoon, but he said directly to me that I donât have to visit him if I am going back alone. So I think he will be happy if I take you back with me.â
Ye Jian, who had just taken a bite on her steamed bun, blushed a little, and said, âWho told you to tell the Commander-in-Chief that I am in the city? Serve you right to be rejected.ââ¦Is it bad not to go? But it doesnât seem very good if I go eitherâ¦
Ye Jian felt a headache, and she was most afraid of such things.
âItâs time to pay a visit. These few days, Commander-in-Chief Xia took the time to visit me in the hospital. He even sent people to take care of everything in the hospital. Ye girl, you should visit the Commander-in-Chief with Major Xia in the afternoon. .â
Bringing your partner to see your parents is a good way to strengthen the relationship between both families, so Principal Chen was naturally very happy. He winked at Xia Jinyuan as he talked. The Major took this opportunity to add, âThen letâs listen to Uncle Chen. Letâs go back to my home this afternoon.â
Ye Jian was so frightened that she swallowed the whole steamed bun abruptly without chewing.
She didnât want to go back to Captain Xiaâs home now! She didnât want to!
Principal Chen looked at her swallowing the entire steamed bun due to fear. Before she could catch her breath, he nodded quickly and said, âYes, yes, and leave early. You donât have to come back to visit me too soon; I will need some afternoon rest.â
Commander-in-Chief Xia really liked Ye girl; every time he came to visit, he couldnât help but talk about her. His conversations would always be more or less wanting Ye girl to visit him.
But this girl had a thin-skinned face, and Major Xia would definitely not agree to invite her back to his home. So the only way was for Uncle Chen himself to make the suggestion.
âThen I will call my dad now. It happens to be the end of the week. If he has nothing to do, he will usually play chess or go fishing with his old comrades. So this time is good.â
âSure, then you call the Commander-in-Chief. I want to talk to Ye girl a little more.â Before Ye Jian could say anything, Principal Chen made the final decision and asked Major Xia, who had long wanted to take her home, to make arrangements quickly so as not to give Ye Jian a chance to refuse.
Ye Jian couldnât manage to interrupt. Everything was done and decided by the time she caught her breath.
Seeing Xia Jinyuan getting up in a hurry, she rushed over and tried to stop him, âDonât, donât, Iâ¦â
âYe girl, can you help me to check the speed of this IV drip? I think itâs a little too fast, and I am feeling a little pain on my hand.â
Principal Chen didnât let Ye Jian have a chance to refuse. Upon hearing Principal Chenâs words, Ye Jian immediately withdrew her hand, rushed to the bed, and turned off the drip. Then, she asked nervously, âAre you feeling okay? Do you feel anything else other than pain? Do you feel your heartbeat faster? How about your breathing, is it okay? Has anything similar happened before?â
The medication used today was the same as the previous few days. However, just because it did not cause any discomfort before, it did not mean that Uncle Chenâs body would adapt to it later on. Similar situations had happened before whereby the body couldnât adapt to the medication later on, so Ye Jian was a little nervous.
