1879: I'm Not Ruthless

I'm Not Ruthless

Principal Chen is not a local resident of Shuikou Village. As he was far away from his hometown, he was accustomed to living in multiple places in the world. He was much less homesick than others. He had served as the principal of Fujun Town Middle School for more than ten years, and even his house was arranged by the school.1

"So be it. I'll go wherever you go in the future."

Ye Jian spoke so quickly and confidently that Xia Jinyuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He coughed lightly and waited for her gaze to land on him. Then, he said calmly, "I heard that it's very convenient to go to the airport at the sniper training base in the Southern Province. If you have time, you can come to the capital for a short stay. My dad and my grandparents will be very satisfied with your arrival.

"I called my father in the wee hours of the morning and told him that I was planning to visit him in the afternoon. However, he told me directly that I didn't have to go back if I were going alone. He would be happy if I brought you back, though."

Ye Jian, who was biting her steamed bun, blushed. She mumbled, "Why did you tell the commander in chief that I came to the capital city? You deserved it."…It wouldn't be good if she didn't go, right? But if she went… it wouldn't seem good either.

Ye Jian had a headache. This was what she was most afraid of.

"It's time to pay a visit. During this period of time, Commander Xia will visit me in the hospital whenever he has the time. He'll send people to settle the matters in the hospital. Girl, follow Major Xia to visit Commander Xia in the afternoon."

Principal Chen was very happy to see that the relationship between the couple and their families was stable. He winked at Xia Jinyuan as he spoke. The major, who had won the hearts of many people, immediately said, "We'll listen to you, Uncle Chen. We'll go home together in the afternoon."

Ye Jian was so frightened that she didn't even chew the bun in her mouth. She swallowed it forcefully.

She didn't want to go back to Captain Xia's house! She didn't want to!

Principal Chen saw that she was so frightened that she swallowed the steamed bun without chewing. Before she could catch her breath, he quickly nodded. "Go early. Don't come back too early. I need to catch up on sleep in the afternoon."

Commander Xia liked Ye Jian a lot. Every time his son came back, he would talk about her. He wanted Ye Jian to come to his house.

However, this girl was too shy. Major Xia would definitely not agree if he invited her home. He was the only one who would agree.

"Then I'll call my dad now and tell him that we'll be going over. If there's nothing going on, he usually plays chess with his old comrades. It's easy to arrange the time."

"Okay. Then, call Commander Xia. I need to talk to Ye Jian." Principal Chen made the decision without Ye Jian saying anything. He asked Major Xia, who wanted to bring her home, to make arrangements so that Ye Jian wouldn't have a chance to reject.

Ye Jian couldn't interrupt them. These people had already made the decision for her.

Seeing Xia Jinyuan get up, she rushed over and tried to grab his arm. "No, no, no, I…"

"Girl, look at the drip. Isn't it going a little fast? Why do I feel some pain in my arm?"

Even if she wanted to stop him, it depended on whether Principal Chen would agree to it or not. Ye Jian retracted her hand immediately and turned off the drip. She asked nervously, "Other than the pain, do you feel anything else? Is your heart beating faster? Do you feel any pressure? Did anything similar happen before?"

The medicine she used today was the same as the first few days. Besides, he didn't feel any discomfort before the medicine was used. Since a similar situation had happened before and the consequences were dire, Ye Jian was a little nervous.
