"Alright, there's no one here anymore. Just say what you need."
Liu Jiu really didn't know what was wrong with Ma Zijun, who liked to talk about things in this secretive way.
"Gu Yun Chu, I want to ask you, do you have a boyfriend?"
"What, a boyfriend? Ma Zijun, how could I have a boyfriend when I'm so young?"
Liu Jiu never expected Ma Zijun to ask such a question. A partner? Isn't that something you only have when you grow up?
"We're both college students, why can't we have partners? I was just saying, what do you think of me? We both went to military academy, we'll both be soldiers in the future, we'll have the same ideals and goals. Our families are both from the same compound, we know each other well, and if we form a family in the future, it will definitely be great..."
After hearing Gu Yun Chu's words, Ma Zi Jun concluded that she and Mu Nan Fang were not in a romantic relationship.
"I refuse!"
Liu Jiu interrupted Ma Zijun directly, not wanting to listen to his nonsense.
"Ah, why?"
"Why? First of all, I think I'm still young and not old enough to find a partner. There are things to do at different ages. Right now, I just want to study hard and improve my skills."
Secondly, we're not familiar with each other, so we can't say we know each other inside and out. If we're talking about being familiar or knowing each other inside and out, then Mu Nanfang is much more suitable than you.
Finally, I think marriage shouldn't be based on external conditions, but rather on whether two people are compatible. Having the same profession doesn't necessarily mean having shared ideals.
Liu Jiu answered very seriously. She really hadn't thought about having a boyfriend or anything like that. She thought she would talk about it after graduating from university. Why think so much when she wasn't studying hard now?
"You like Mu Nanfang?"
Ma Zijun had only one thought in his mind: Gu Yun Chu rejected him because of Mu Nan Fang.
"What does this have to do with Mu Nanfang? Why should I like anyone? You're really strange. You finally got into university, but instead of studying hard, training harder, and improving yourself, you're just thinking about useless things."
What's your academic ranking at your school? How's your English? How much do you know about the latest international military theories? What are the gaps between us and some other countries?
Liu Jiu's barrage of questions left Ma Zijun speechless. He had barely made it into the military academy, and his grades were now only average. Those who could get into military academy were all quite capable.
"I, I..."
"Let's leave it at that. Please don't involve Mu Nanfang. He's a good friend of mine, and I don't want anyone to use him as a pretext."
After Liu Jiu finished speaking, he left without looking back, calling San Qi and Gu Xuanyi to go home.
Lan Shengli looked at the devastated Ma Zijun and didn't know what to say.
Because of Commander Ma, Ma Zijun lived a smooth life and was practically a king in the compound. Everyone would give way to him, whether openly or secretly.
However, outside of this compound, once he entered the military academy, no one would pay special attention to his feelings. The entire academy also had many children from other military regions, and everyone had to rely on their abilities; Ma Zijun's advantages were no longer advantages.
Are you alright?
"Gu Yun Chu rejected me and denied her relationship with Mu Nan Fang. She thinks I'm a good-for-nothing, with no good grades or skills, and that I only think about useless things."
Ma Zijun was very frustrated because he couldn't answer any of Gu Yun Chu's questions.
"Gu Yun Chu is only sixteen years old. She is really too young. Moreover, she genuinely likes being a soldier and has a clear goal. You two are really not on the same path."
Lan Shengli didn't say it aloud, but Gu Yun Chu's love was genuine and pure. As for Ma Zi Jun, he took the military academy entrance exam and joined the army more as a profession, a change of power.
"Really? I thought we were both in the military and would be soldiers in the future, so we would have common topics and be a good match. I didn't expect that she didn't give me a chance at all."
Lan Shengli patted Ma Zijun on the shoulder. That was all he could do to comfort his brother. Or rather, they might just be friends now. Brothers, it seemed like they had parted ways at a crossroads.
When Gu Jia arrived home, her parents were in the living room. She happened to have some questions and wanted to ask them.
"Why are you back so early today?"
"Mom and Dad, I have something to tell you. I don't quite understand."
Liu Jiu sat next to her mother, right next to her.
Gu Ye sat up straight immediately. "Daughter, what's wrong?"
“Ma Zijun just told me that he thinks we are a good match. We will both be soldiers in the future, share the same ideals, and come from the same compound, so we know each other well. It would be good if we got married.”
Liu Jiu briefly recounted what Ma Zijun had said, but she was unhappy.
"Who gave Commander Ma's grandson the audacity to say such things to you? How is that appropriate? Is his brain filled with tofu dregs? My daughter is only a few years old, and he dares to say such nonsense to you. I have to talk to his grandfather about this. How did he raise his child?"
Gu Ye stood up abruptly, feeling a surge of anger; he was about to hit someone.
Gu Xuanyi and Sanqi opened the door and came in. They saw his second uncle (father) looking like a raging lion, and they felt that something bad was about to happen.
"Where are you going? Sit down quickly, Liu Jiu hasn't finished speaking yet."
Bonnie knew this would happen; her brother treated his daughter like a treasure, and this had crossed his line.
"Aren't you angry? Our daughter is still a child!"
“I know you’re upset, but our daughter is almost seventeen. She’s all grown up now, not a little kid anymore. She can date, she can have boys she likes. This is normal, and you have to accept it.”
Bonnie pressed Gu Ye down on the sofa and spoke about the matter in a serious tone.
