"Dad, are you going to set me up on a blind date with him?"
"This guy was introduced to me by the principal of the military academy next door, your Uncle Zhao. He said he's an excellent guy. He's always been top of the class since he started training, and he doesn't have any beautiful women around him. He's covered in wounds, but also covered in glory. The only downside is that he's from the countryside, so he has no support in the army. But now, at only 26, he's already firmly in the position of regimental commander. He won't be much worse than Dad in the future."
Xu Zhiyi listened to Xu Chengde's words and looked at the column for his family members. His mother died young, and his father never remarried. His eldest brother died, and his eldest sister-in-law divorced him, leaving behind a pair of nephews and nieces. Oh, and there was also a younger sister.
"Dad, I'm still young and don't want to find a partner yet."
"Don't worry, sweetheart. Dad won't force you. The reason Dad gave you his information was to give you another option. Your Uncle Zhao was right this afternoon. Although we have severed our relationship with your uncles on the surface, what if they insist on thinking that we are still related to your uncles?
Honey, Daddy is old and can no longer fight. Daddy is afraid that one day he will not be able to protect you and Zhiyan, and that your uncles’ good intentions will be wasted.
Darling, if you really like him, you can follow him to join the army. If you don't like him, Dad will try to transfer you out of the military hospital and bring you back when Beijing is calm. Darling, what do you think?
"Dad, let me think about it, okay?"
"good."
That night, Xu Zhiyi looked at the documents on the table and could not sleep all night.
Xu Zhiyi thought about what Xu Chengde said. He was a man of honor. Born in the countryside, he had achieved what he has today on his own. Now he was studying in a military academy. He would be great in the future, perhaps even better than his father.
If the Xu family had someone else who could support the Xu and An families, Dad wouldn't have to work so hard. Unfortunately, the Xu and An families now have no one who can take on the responsibility.
Qin Zheng might be a good choice, or even the right one. With him as his protector, the Xu and An families might actually be able to safely navigate the next ten years.
