The next day, Wu Sicheng drove An Moxue to the military academy where she was studying.
Wu Sicheng said contentedly, "Mo Xue, it's finally quiet today. We can finally stroll around the campus together. After registration, I'll take you around and tell you about this school. It's my alma mater."
My mom is probably too old; she didn't come to take me to school when I was in school!
Not only did no one from my family see me off, but I also came alone with my luggage. My uncle only mentioned what I needed to prepare; my parents didn't even mention it. My grandfather was busy at the time and didn't have time, so he just made a quick phone call.
"Maybe! Why did you go to military school so early back then?"
"I started school early, at six years old. You'd never guess why I started school so early!"
"Why?" In modern times, only a small percentage of children start school at age six.
"Because my dad thinks I'm taking up too much of my mom's time, which affects his time alone with her and also keeps her from getting enough rest, and he's worried about tiring her out."
An Moxue was truly surprised; it was completely unexpected.
Is this what they mean by "the parents are true love, and the child is an accident"?
“My uncle told me that before I was born, my father went missing for more than a year while on a mission, which is why my mother named me Sicheng, meaning to miss my father. During that time, she was having hallucinations and her mental state was very bad. She kept saying that she could see and hear my father talking to her. She wouldn’t let me out of her sight for even a moment. Even when I went to the toilet, my aunt had to hold me and stand next to her so that she could watch me, otherwise she would get very irritable.”
"Auntie is doing very well now!"
“That’s when my dad came back. She found her heart again and actively cooperated with the treatment. For several years, whenever my dad wasn’t away on missions, he would take her with him. To allow her to recuperate better, I spent more time with my uncle and grandfather. Later, she got better day by day. The old people in the compound all respected her and didn’t dare to mess with her, which was part of the reason. Don’t be fooled by her gentle demeanor; when she gets angry, she can be ruthless and unrecognizable to even her closest relatives.”
Do you feel like they're spending less time with you?
"No, not at all. When I was little, I loved to stick with my uncle. He had a lot of strange and wonderful things, and treasure hunting could keep me occupied for most of my time. For a while, I was always on a treasure hunt, and I also had to set aside some time to play with the other kids in the compound. To be honest, I rarely had time to think about my parents. If I did think about them occasionally, I would immediately forget about them if there was something new and interesting or something delicious."
"And you?"
"Me? I'm taught a lot of things, but I can't show any of it in public. To outsiders, I'm just an ordinary girl. I've been in charge of the family's daily expenses since I was ten, and I have a lot of pocket money that my friends don't have. My parents never restrict me from playing with my friends. Because I have a lot of pocket money and snacks, they always like to come to my house, and I treat them the most. However, whenever they have something good to eat, they always think of me first. They don't just eat from me, so we have a very good relationship."
"Yes, I can see that. They're very informal. They're all nice people."
"Right!"
The two drove to the school with someone accompanying them.
Wu Sicheng said reluctantly, "It went by so fast, it doesn't feel like it was that long!"
Military academies are different from other schools; you must show your identification and have it checked before you are allowed to enter.
The two people showed their identification, got out of the car for inspection, and then drove into the campus. The vehicle had to be parked in a designated area.
Everywhere she looked were soldiers and military academy students in their regular uniforms, all dressed impeccably and walking with upright and resolute strides. An Moxue clicked her tongue in admiration: "It's really different. Look at this place, and then look at Peking University. They're completely different. It's so impressive!"
"Stop looking, let's go, take your luggage to my dorm first, then I'll show you around campus."
The two maintained a friendly social distance.
After the two people passed by, An Moxue whispered, "Here, I subconsciously tucked in my stomach and marched in step, and I didn't dare to walk with my head down."
Wu Sicheng suppressed a laugh; how could she be so adorable!
Even internationally renowned figures have this little-known side.
"Do you have physical training?" An Moxue asked Wu Sicheng, looking at the people exercising in a corner of the playground.
"There should be morning exercises and evening classes, and some in the afternoon as well. This term has 100 people, divided into two classes, one for civilian staff and one for military staff, all to cultivate more outstanding leaders. Moreover, those who come for further training will be promoted after returning. They are all outstanding talents from various military units, so that everyone can better manage their subordinates after promotion."
An Moxue suddenly realized, "Isn't this a perfect cradle for cadres?"
"You're right."
"Then you'll be promoted to brigade level very soon?"
"Well, just keep it to yourself and don't make a fuss. Actually, I could have been promoted two years ago, but my grandfather said there was no rush and held back for two years, afraid that I would attract too much attention. He said it's better to keep a low profile and there's nothing wrong with being promoted later. This time he said the time is about right. After I finish my training, I will go back to the army, and more than a year will have passed, so I won't be so conspicuous."
"Grandpa is truly farsighted and thoughtful. As long as the military merits aren't claimed by others, nothing else matters. How much will the salary increase after the promotion?"
"Forty to fifty yuan, and you can also get two guards and a nanny. Mo Xue, do you want to get married then? Someone will do the housework."
An Moxue glared at him, annoyed. He was taking every opportunity to bring up marriage, and while he didn't find it cloying, she was tired of hearing it.
He asked earnestly, word by word, "Do you want it or not?"
She gritted her teeth and replied, "No-no! Comrade Wu Sicheng, remember your place, and where you are. Don't talk nonsense. Go on!" With that, she strode away first.
"Mo Xue, no, this way." Wu Sicheng called out to An Mo Xue after she had walked several steps away.
She turned around, glared at her, and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier? Let's go."
"Okay, let's go." He suppressed a laugh.
"Mo Xue!" he called out, but she ignored him.
"Mo Xue!" he called again, but she still ignored him.
"Mo Xue!" he called again, and this time, she stopped.
"what?"
He thought that her flustered appearance was just like a golden retriever puppy, innocent and cute.
Wu Sicheng looked around, then suddenly leaned closer to her and said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to call you. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to bear missing you for a week!"
"oh--"
Wu Sicheng waited and waited, but nothing came of it, so he gave up.
"Mo Xue, come pick me up next week! I'll cook you something delicious when we get back. I've learned two new dishes that you haven't tried yet!"
"It depends."
"bring it on!"
"It depends on my mood."
"You absolutely must come."
"Check the weather."
"I have to come."
"How can you be so domineering!"
"I only love you."
