It was that time of year again when Commander Jiang frowned and sighed deeply.
"Yanchen, your situation is quite special. The higher-ups haven't released any research results yet. You just finished a mission, so go back to your dorm and get some rest. Don't worry, we'll let you know as soon as we have the results."
How could Xue Yanchen not be anxious? He had been waiting for a month, and during that month, he thought about this every day.
Regardless of whether the report passes or not, he only wants one outcome: to marry Luo Jingyan.
"Commander, tell me the truth, is it because the higher-ups disagree? Because they disagree, that's why you're using this excuse to brush me off."
"Yanchen, listen to me."
"Since they won't agree to my request, then let me leave."
"Yanchen, you, don't be impulsive." He pointed to the sofa in his office: "Come, sit down, let's talk this out. This matter is very tricky, and you know the organization's regulations, which we must obey."
Xue Yanchen did not sit down: "Then let me go."
"No! How can you spout such nonsense again?" Commander Jiang's expression turned serious. "Not only will I disagree, but the higher-ups won't agree either."
"While I do not have the right to compel you to approve my marriage application, I do have the right to retire from my career."
Commander Jiang earnestly advised, "Yanchen, you must think this through carefully. You must not give up your promising future and career for the sake of a momentary romantic relationship."
"Commander, I've already told you, I've thought it through, you don't need to try to persuade me anymore."
He took off his hat and placed it on the regimental commander's desk, then turned to leave.
Commander Jiang slammed his hand on the table angrily, "Even if you put your hat here, I won't approve your departure."
"I won't go to training even if you don't approve it."
"Then you should stay in your dorm and calm down. I'll give you seven days to think things through carefully, in case you regret it after you leave."
"If I insist on staying for seven days, you must let me leave."
"I..." He had originally wanted to say "we'll talk about it later" to stall for time, but fearing it would anger Xue Yanchen, he nodded in agreement: "Okay, I promise you."
Victory Brigade
Luo Jingyan stroked the kitten in her arms, and couldn't help but think about something.
Xue Yanchen has been away from here and back to her unit for more than a month. During this long time, she has not received any news that their marriage application has been approved, and she can't help but start to worry.
She longed to marry him, but didn't want to hinder his career or stifle his ambitions.
If only we could have the best of both worlds!
She took out paper and pen, intending to write him a letter to inquire about the situation, but after picking up the pen, she timidly put it down, fearing that if she sent the letter, she would receive the worst news.
She put the paper and pen back in the drawer, looked out at the blue sky and wispy white clouds, and resigned herself to fate.
military region
After leaving Commander Jiang's place, Xue Yanchen went back to his dormitory and immediately lay down for a long sleep.
Anyway, his marriage application was going to fail, so he didn't think about it anymore and just waited for his superiors to approve his departure seven days later.
Thinking that he could leave this place in seven days and go back to his hometown to get his marriage certificate with his wife, the depression in his heart immediately dissipated a lot.
He was eager to let Luo Jingyan know about this as soon as possible, so they could get married soon.
The next day, he went to the city, fearing that writing a letter would be too slow. He sent a telegram to Luo Jingyan, which roughly meant that he would be free to see her in a few days and they could get their marriage certificate without any worries.
He was eagerly waiting to go home and get his marriage certificate with his wife in seven days, but some people were getting restless.
After Xue Yanchen left his office yesterday, Commander Jiang immediately sent someone to find Zhao Jun and called him into his office.
“Yanchen’s marriage application couldn’t be approved, and in a fit of anger, he insisted on leaving the army. We all think he was acting impulsively, and it’s his first time dating, so he’s blinded by love. Our attempts to persuade him haven’t been very effective. You’re from the same hometown as him and are his best comrade-in-arms. Why don’t you go and persuade him to do something foolish and stay here?”
Zhao Jun frowned and shook his head.
"Commander, it's no use calling me. You know his personality. Do you think I can persuade him?"
"You have to try to know whether it's just talk or not."
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
As a result, when Zhao Jun arrived at Xue Yanchen's dormitory, he didn't mention a word about the matter.
Because he was smart enough to know that if he did as Commander Jiang said and persuaded Xue Yanchen to give up Luo Jingyan and keep his current position in the army, then he would only have one fate.
Why would he go out of his way to provoke a tiger when he knew he'd get beaten up?
But in fact, when Xue Yanchen was lying in bed, he did touch the other person's buttocks.
"You must be thinking about marrying Luo Zhiqing now, right? Should you get married in the countryside or back in Beijing?"
For marriages in different locations, it's fine as long as the marriage is registered in the place of residence of one spouse. After Xue Yanchen leaves the military, his household registration will be transferred back to Beijing.
"Let's register in Jilin Province." That way, we can take care of Luo Jingyan.
Zhao Jun smiled and said, "After registering and getting the marriage certificate in Jilin Province, the couple will move back to Beijing together."
"Both sides are our homes, there is no difference."
Zhao Jun took a breath. "Time flies. You two are getting married in a few days. After you get married, I'm going to marry Zhenzhen too, so I won't be envious of you."
Xue Yanchen glanced at him: "You must have been sent by the regimental commander to act as a lobbyist."
