Xia Jinyuan wasnât too inclined to bring up his dark past. Still, when he saw Ye Jianâs eyes were shining with interest, and her expression wasnât as nervous as she had before, Major Xia was still willing to talk about her dark past to keep her happy.
A man who was willing to talk about his dark past he rather kept hidden to entertain you were more often than not your one true love because he was willing to share his life and the rest of his life with you, with the only desire that you could fully enter his world.
âI might be a troublemaker, but something like stealing a gun wasnât something Iâd do; however, since Han Zheng brought it up, Iâm also not in the place to disappoint him, so I nodded and agreed immediately. Wanna guess what I did next?â
âYou stole the Supreme Commanderâs sidearm?â
Xia Jinyuan burst out in laughter, âSilly fox, how could a sidearm be stolen that easily? The Firearms-Control Law we have today isnât a Revision; we already had strict laws all those years ago, I might be a troublemaker, but I still know that if a soldier loses his firearm, heâll get laid off.â
âAlthough I wasnât on good terms with the old geezer, I wouldnât have taken his gun.â
âThen what bad thing did you do?â Ye Jian was fond of listening; listening to his childhood was like the part she was missing, offsetting her own incomplete childhood, âI donât think itâs going to be a bad thing.â
âHan Zheng still holds a grudge about it till now; after I returned, I thought about it and was worried Han Zheng was really going to steal the gun, so I ran to the Han family and told Uncle Han. When Han Zheng returned after his calligraphy class, a whipping was welcoming him home, making Han Zheng howl from the pain.â
Ye Jian couldnât hold it in and laughed out loud, the clear springwater-like laughter bubbled outwards, and spoke in a tone filled with sunshine: âHan Zheng would definitely get angry, he couldnât make a decision and went to ask you, when he finally made his mind, you then turned around and sold him out. Before he even managed to cause some trouble, he was already beaten up; itâll be weird if he wasnât angry.â
âThatâs what he said after Han Zheng finished his beating, he said itâs worth it if he was beaten up after he caused some trouble, but he was already beaten up before he had managed to do anything; what a waste!â Xia Jinyuan, who had brought up his own past, also couldnât hold his laughter in; he had caused too much trouble when he was younger, not even three full days was enough for him to finish talking about it.
âAfter Uncle Han beat Han Zheng up, he purposely visited to thank us with some fruits, the moment my father heard; he felt that Han Zheng didnât have the audacity, and surmised that I had something to do with that, after Uncle Han left, I was also beaten up.â
âFrom then on, I realized something, before snitching on misconduct, Iâll have to weigh myself up. Although Uncle Han came to thank me, he had also revealed my role in it. In the future, if I wanted to stir up trouble, I have to remember not to leave any trails, donât snitch very simply, and must conceal myself well, and hide all the things that I have done.â
Ye Jian was already in tears from laughing, although Captain Xia didnât have a mother in his childhood. However, he was blessed to have a family that loves him.
âCaptain Xia, you were really blessed.â She spoke earnestly.
âBelieve me, little fox; we would also be very blessed.â Her childhood was filled with shadow and gloom; he was willing to use his childhood past to fill her yearning towards her childhood.
With Xia Jinyuanâs childhood events, Ye Jianâs tensed mind had finally loosened up; when the car drove into the Shanghai Traditional Courtyard where its red outer wall was covered in Boston Ivy, Ye Jianâs smile had yet to fade away.
When the security guard saw the car driving into the garage, he immediately went into the room. He reported in, Supreme Commander Xia, who was already prepared for his future daughter-in-lawâs visit, stood up immediately, straightening his collar, and opened the door to welcome them.
That kid has some skill and knew how to persuade his own girl to come here.
