Gu Jingxuan's heartfelt confession to Yu Zihan on the rooftop was like a stone thrown into a lake, stirring deep ripples within her. She began to reevaluate her long-time friend, realizing her feelings for him were no longer simply friendship. Now that the thin layer of closure between them had been broken, Yu Zihan no longer hid her feelings and openly began dating Gu Jingxuan.
A few days after Yu Zihan was discharged from the hospital, Gu Jingxuan was also successfully discharged. However, this injury dealt an irreversible blow to his career. He was faced with the choice of retiring or continuing in the military as a civilian. For someone who had dedicated so much of his life to the military, this was a difficult decision. At this crossroads in his life, Gu Jingxuan hoped to share this with his future partner and get her advice.
It was another day off, and Yu Zihan was reading at home, trying to catch up on the classes she had missed due to an injury. She didn't want to be the student who failed the course. Suddenly, the doorbell rang, and she opened the door to see Gu Jingxuan standing at the door. He looked at her with a smile, his eyes revealing a firmness and tenderness. The two sat on the sofa, Gu Jingxuan holding Yu Zihan's hand tightly, and slowly said: "Zihan, I hope you can listen to a decision I have made. I want to tell you about an important event in my life, and I also want to know your opinion on this matter."
Yu Zihan's heartbeat quickened as she anticipated what Gu Jingxuan was about to say. She gently held his hand and said with a smile, "Jingxuan, go ahead and tell me. I'll listen carefully." Gu Jingxuan took a deep breath and told Yu Zihan about the choice of career change he was facing. He said, "Zihan, this injury has made me rethink the direction of my life. I've always loved the military, but this accident has made me realize that it might be time to make a new plan for my future. I'm considering whether I should change my career and find a direction that's more suitable for my development."
Yu Zihan listened quietly. She could feel Gu Jingxuan's inner struggle and confusion. She knew that this was a very important decision that concerned his future and happiness. She thought for a moment and then said, "Jingxuan, I know you have a deep affection for the army, but I also believe that you have the ability to succeed in other fields. I am willing to support your decision, and no matter which path you choose, I will always be by your side."
Gu Jingxuan looked at Yu Zihan with emotion. Her support and understanding made him feel extremely warm. He held her hand tightly and said, "Zihan, thank you for your support. I will seriously consider your opinion and make a decision that is best for us."
Yu Zihan smiled gently and said, "Jingxuan, we are a family and should face the challenges of life together. No matter what the future holds, we will work together to create our own happiness."
Gu Jingxuan nodded, and the two smiled at each other. At that moment, their hearts were even more closely connected. They knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead, as long as they supported and understood each other, they would be able to overcome all difficulties and reach the other side of happiness.
Unbeknownst to them, their conversation had been overheard by Pei Xiao and Yu Meijuan, who had just returned from their walk. Initially, they couldn't comprehend how their relationship had suddenly become so intimate. But upon hearing their conversation, they suddenly realized what had happened. It turned out this young man had been plotting against their little Baicai for a long time.
"Gu Jingxuan, are you still a human being? Are you still my friend?" Pei Xuan broke free from Yu Meijuan's obstruction and rushed directly to Gu Jingxuan to question him. Gu Jingxuan seemed to have been prepared for Pei Xiao's reaction. He said calmly, "Pei Xiao, now I solemnly ask you to agree to let Yu Zihan be my girlfriend."
He bowed to Pei Xiao. Old Master Pei and Old Lady Pei heard Pei Xiao's roar outside and hurried out to see what was happening. As soon as they came out, they heard Gu Jingxuan's words. They were also shocked by the sudden situation before them.
Their gaze shifted to their adorable granddaughter, who was playing coquettishly. From her constantly blinking eyes and her worried expression, the old couple knew their darling granddaughter was deeply moved. Although they were reluctant to see their tender cabbage taken away by someone else, they knew Zi Han's character and that love was something no one could stop, so they looked at their son with pity.
His son was destined to reconcile the two of them, but now things happened too suddenly and he couldn't accept it for the time being.
Yu Meijuan walked to her lover's side. In her heart, she was also unwilling to have this marriage. She looked at Gu Jingxuan and then at her daughter with an extremely conflicted expression.
She liked Gu Jingxuan very much and he was qualified to be her son-in-law in every way. But she was worried about his job. She knew he had been injured several times on the job since they met, and she didn't want her precious daughter to be worried about such dangerous work.
Another point is that Gu Jingxuan is a soldier, and he doesn't want his daughter and husband to be separated for a long time. This is a test for a normal couple, because he knows that his daughter is a career-oriented person and she will not follow Gu Jingxuan into the army.
The above two issues could be overcome if the two children had a strong bond. However, Yu Meijuan disliked Gu Jingxuan's family. She believed that children raised in such a family would inevitably have unusual flaws. Because such families are so complex, children lack love from a young age. The love his grandfather provided, while profound, lacked warmth.
Yu Meijuan was worried that Gu Jingxuan's personality would cause harm to her daughter, so she did not stop her lover from opposing this matter.
Yu Zihan saw her parents' reactions to Gu Jingxuan's suggestion, which was what she had expected.
So she looked at Gu Jingxuan and knew that their road to love was a bit bumpy.
Gu Jingxuan looked calm. It seemed that he had expected such a situation. After all, Pei Xiao knew everything about him.
So he said: "I know I have many shortcomings, and I know I have to work harder to be worthy of the solder mask, but I have confidence and determination. I will let you see my sincerity in the shortest time possible." After Gu Jingxuan finished speaking, he saluted respectfully to the two old men, then looked at Pei Xiao and his wife, and finally looked at Yu Zihan affectionately.
"It won't be long. I'll be back." After saying that, he quickly walked out of the Pei family.
Everyone in the Pei family looked at Gu Jingxuan like this, confused by his behavior. Only Yu Zihan was laughing in his heart. This guy was really smart. He knew Pei Xiao's temperament. No matter how much he said at this critical juncture, it would be useless, so he ran away.
