Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don't Mess Around! - Chapter 1332

Chapter 1332: The Son Wishes to Fulfill His Duty but His Elders Are No Longer Around

“The military school is indeed her best choice.” Doctor Zhou sighed with emotion. Who would have thought that a child who had no parents and was even cowardly would end up like this? She had become a famous person in Fujun Town. She was the first child in the town to enter a military school.

Nowadays, everyone knows Ye Jian’s name. Whenever Ye Jian was mentioned, the first thing they would say was, “Oh my, she’s amazing. She’s the top scholar in Shuikou Village. She’s the first student in our town to enter the military school. Impressive! Impressive!”

Birds of a feather flock together. Ye Jian was probably influenced by that old man.

It was all thanks to her that her daughter was able to get into the second-tier university.

“Mom, I’ll go over and take a look. I won’t accompany you anymore.” An Jiaxin didn’t see the cold military aura exuding from Ye Jian. She saw the sorrow that had never appeared on Ye Jian before. She said sadly, “She doesn’t feel good. I’ll accompany her.”

What was a true friend?

A true friend might not appear when you were at your peak, but they would appear when you were sad, suffering, and helpless. They would give you selfless help that you don’t need to return.

When you’re happy, they won’t disturb you. When you’re anxious, they can’t help but worry for you. As long as you raise your head, you will be able to see your real friends accompanying you by your side silently.

An Jiaxin was such a friend. Before she entered the ward, she only saw Ye Jian, who was standing by the bed and seemed unwilling to take a step. Her tears fell like rain.

She knew it. She knew that… Ye Jian would be very sad.

Fortunately, her boyfriend accompanied her and persuaded her. This allowed Ye Jian to have stronger mental support so that she wouldn’t be sad alone.

Commander Liu and Commissar Yan didn’t notice An Jiaxin standing at the door of the ward. They looked at Ye Jian worriedly. She didn’t want to go to the sickbed. They were afraid that she might not be able to accept it and something might happen.

“Girl, come to my side.” Commissar Yan, who was standing beside the bed, waved his hand and said kindly, “Uncle Gen woke up an hour ago. Sit here and accompany me. When he wakes up, you can chat with him.”

Ye Jian wanted to walk over too. However, her feet felt heavy. She couldn’t move.

He stared blankly at Uncle Gen, who had to rely on the equipment to maintain his breathing. She looked at the skinny old man lying on the white hospital bed… Uncle Gen was really skinny. He was so skinny that the hospital bed seemed very wide.

Why does Grandpa look so pale? His eyes were closed so tightly. It was as if… he would never wake up again.

She wanted to walk over but she couldn’t. She looked at Uncle Gen, who was at death’s door and couldn’t move.

Xia Jinyuan raised his hand and hugged Ye Jian’s shoulder with his arm. He held her shoulder with his slender and strong hand and pulled her into his arms. “I’ll go with you.”

Taking a step forward required not only courage. It also meant facing the frailness of the old man on the bed and the reality of his near passing.

Commander Liu and Commissar Yan didn’t notice Xia Jinyuan’s actions or the intimacy between the two of them. Instead, when they saw Ye Jian taking a step forward, they took a step forward simultaneously. They wanted to hold Ye Jian together.

The two of them treated Ye Jian like their own daughter. They couldn’t bear to see her in pain.
