"Keep dreaming, anything is possible in dreams!" Ye Zhonghong snorted at Lu Qingwan's retreating figure.
Turning around, she saw her sister-in-law standing in front of her third brother's door. She walked over and pushed Chunxue into her third brother's room.
"Third Brother, Sister-in-law wants to talk to you about something."
Ye Zhonghong left after saying that, closed the door, and ran away.
Ye Jingchi was looking for something in the drawer when he heard the sound. He looked up but didn't turn around.
"Sister-in-law, just say the word if you need anything."
Chunxue clutched the corner of her clothes, hesitated for a while, and then said softly, "Dangdang said that some children at school bullied him, saying that he was a child without a father. Dangdang is very sad, and I was wondering if you could take Dangdang to school tomorrow."
Ye Jingchi stopped what he was doing, straightened up, stood sideways, and looked indifferent.
“Sister-in-law, I’m just his third uncle when I take Dangdang to school, not his father. You should tell Dangdang that his father is a martyr, and no one dares to mock the child of a martyr.”
Chunxue looked at Ye Jingchi gently, wondering why he just couldn't look at her.
"that……"
"Sister-in-law, if you have nothing else to do, please go out!"
Ye Jingchi gave the order.
Chunxue felt awkward and couldn't stay any longer, so she could only turn around and leave silently, closing the door behind her.
Ye Jingchi took out a wooden box from the bedside table, opened it, and inside was a red jade pendant. Turning it over, he saw a single character engraved on the back: Ying.
Ye Jingchi gently stroked the jade pendant, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"I'll leave the things you gave me to the children, hoping only that you can be happy in the future!"
Ye Jingchi arrived at the courtyard house, where Jing Yingyan was reading a book. The sunlight shone brightly on his handsome face.
In the past, Ye Jingchi would have definitely kicked Jing Yingyan out and stopped him from showing up in front of Li Ying. But now it's different. He can't provide Li Ying with the life she needs, but perhaps Jing Yingyan can.
"Commander Ye."
Jing Yingyan closed his book and looked up at Ye Jingchi.
He doesn't look well. Could he really be sick?
Ye Jingchi took a few steps closer.
“Li Ying went to the Lu family, she’s not here,” Jing Yingyan said, turning his wheelchair around.
"I've come to find you."
Jing Yingyan stopped, turned to look at Ye Jingchi, and gave an incredulous smile: "Looking for me?"
"I've applied for a transfer to the Self-Defense Forces and will be leaving in a couple of days. I don't know if I'll be able to come back from this war. If I don't, Jing Yingyan, can you promise to take care of Li Ying and her child?"
Entrusting an orphan to someone?
Jing Yingyan's lips curled into a cold sneer: "Commander Ye, I have no interest in taking care of other people's wives or raising other people's children."
Ye Jingchi clenched his fists, unable to reveal the truth. Knowing Jing Yingyan's sharp tongue, he decided not to argue with him.
"I know Young Master Jing looks down on me, but this time I'm serious." Ye Jingchi said sincerely.
Jing Yingyan turned his wheelchair to face Ye Jingchi: "Are you really going to entrust Li Ying's later life to me? Ye Jingchi, sometimes I really wonder how you got to be a regimental commander. No one has the right to plan Li Ying's life. It's her right to choose who to spend the rest of her life with. What gives you the right to demand that she follow me, and what gives you the right to demand that I take care of her for the rest of her life?"
Ye Jingchi then realized how ridiculous his idea was.
"I've learned a lot," Ye Jingchi said apologetically.
Jing Yingyan's eyes were deep and unfathomable as he gripped the armrests of his wheelchair tightly. "Ye Jingchi, no matter what happens, your first thought should not be to hand others over to someone else, but to survive with strength."
Ye Jingchi looked at Jing Yingyan in surprise.
These were the words of that same man with the sharp tongue; he actually hoped to survive.
"I see."
Ye Jingchi turned around.
"Ye Jingchi, don't make me look down on you!"
Jing Yingyan wheeled himself back to his room.
Ye Jingchi paused for a moment, then strode away.
The Lu family.
Li Ying changed Lu Qingzhu's dressing.
"Junior brother, does your wrist feel much better?"
Lu Qingzhu flexed her wrist and smiled, "It's much better than before. Li Ying, your medicine is indeed very effective."
Li Ying smiled and said, "It was that ancient book that told me this, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to treat my junior brother's wrist. But don't worry, once your wrist is healed, you can still use acupuncture to save people."
Lu Qingzhu nodded. Seeing the dark circles under Li Ying's eyes, she knew that Li Ying had been reading ancient books day and night to treat her wrist, and she felt very sorry for her.
"Junior sister, even if my wrist is ruined, I won't blame you. Why do you have to work so hard, running around treating my wrist while you're pregnant?"
Li Ying squeezed Lu Qingzhu's hand: "Besides my parents and brothers, you are my closest relatives. Your injury is like my injury. Besides, my junior brother was injured because of me. Even if it costs me my life, I will save my junior brother."
Lu Qingzhu raised her hand and gently stroked Li Ying's hair.
"Junior Sister has really grown up."
Coming down from the second floor, Lu Qingwan was harassing Mrs. Lu.
"Mom, please let me go. I studied abroad to learn how to save lives and heal the wounded. This time, I'm going to serve as a doctor in the army. It's my dream."
"I disagree! You're a girl going to the battlefield; bullets don't discriminate, what if..."
Mrs. Lu didn't want her daughter to take any risks.
"Mom, I'm a military doctor, I'll only be in the rear, I won't go to the front lines. Mom, please let me go! My brother Jingchi has already applied to go, I want to join him in making contributions."
"That's even more unacceptable!" Mrs. Lu said angrily, her tone becoming harsher. "Even if Ye Jingchi wasn't married, you still can't marry him!"
"Mom, that's a stereotype. Jingchi has become a really, really good person. And I'm determined to show him my worth, so he'll like me even more!"
Mrs. Lu sighed, "Hopeless!"
Looking up, he saw Li Ying coming down, shook off Lu Qingwan, and went to greet her: "Li Ying, thank you for your hard work, please stay for dinner."
"No need, Aunt Lu."
Lu Qingwan stood tall and proud: "Li Ying, I heard you and Ye Jingchi divorced. Jingchi is such a good man, why didn't you want him?"
Mrs. Lu pinched her daughter and said apologetically, "Li Ying, she speaks without thinking, don't blame her."
“What she said is true, I’m not angry. Ye Jingchi is a good person, but he’s not right for me.” After saying that, Li Ying nodded slightly and left.
Lu Qingwan chased after her, "Hey, Li Ying, I don't know what happened between you and Jingchi, but since you've said that, I believe you won't stop me from being with Jingchi, right?"
Li Ying turned around, looked at Lu Qingwan, and said very solemnly, "This is your business with him, it's none of my concern."
Lu Qingwan was immediately delighted and stepped forward to take Li Ying's arm: "Then we won't be enemies anymore, right?"
Li Ying subconsciously pulled her arm away: "I'm sorry, Ms. Lu, I don't think we can be friends."
