Chapter 1232: Love Sculpted by Time

Shuikou Village had become Ye Jian’s home port. Every time she leaves, she would see Uncle Gen who would silently send her off by the side of the village. She would begin to miss home before she had even left.

In the past, only Uncle Gen stood alone at the entrance of the village. Now, seeing Uncle Chen beside him, Ye Jian, who had tears in her eyes, couldn’t help but smile.

“I’m afraid I won’t have many chances to come back in the future.” Ye Jian wiped her tears away when she couldn’t see the two elders anymore. She said sadly, “I wonder if I can come back once a year?”

The roads from the village to the town and then to the city were mostly mountain roads. Xia Jinyuan’s driving skills were good and he drove steadily. Hearing that, he smiled and replied, “If I say that you won’t be able to come back in four years, will you be sad?”

Four years?

Ye Jian was shocked. She looked at the person who was smiling and muttered, “It’s impossible to not be able to come back for four years. It’s impossible. Even as a soldier, there should be family reunion leave[1]. Moreover, she was a student.”

Although she didn’t look surprised, Xia Jinyuan seemed to have seen through her. His smile faded a little. “It’s possible. I haven’t been home for four years too. During the winter and summer holidays, my family never received a call from me.”

Before she could retract her gaze, the man who was driving the car looked up and smiled at her through the mirror. The smile on his handsome face made him look flirtatious. Ye Jian glared at him before saying, “Is it because... the military wants to groom me in your direction? If not, you wouldn’t say that I can’t return home for four years like you.”

Other than that, she couldn’t think of any reason why she might be like him, unable to return home for four years.

That was why his little fox was smart. She could think of the crux of the matter with just a few words.

Everything was unknown before everything was settled, but she had a plan in mind.

“Be mentally prepared that you won’t be able to return home for four years. Uncle Chen will take care of things at home. I will inform you if anything happens.” Xia Jinyuan didn’t deny it nor confirm it. He maintained a faint smile and his voice was as cold as jade. “I believe that you know how much hope the military has for you. Work hard. I will always be waiting for you in front.”

I will wait for when you join the Xueyu unit, wait for when you become a true comrade, and use the beauty of time to sculpt a love that belongs to us.
