"right!"
Qin Yu wrapped his arms around Xia Lan and gently kissed her forehead.
Sincere and gentle.
Before meeting her, he never imagined he would have such a day.
Perhaps, to him, it all seemed like a dream, unreal.
The only thing he could hold onto was her.
As long as she's by his side.
Xia Lan turned and leaned against Qin Yu's chest.
"And what about yourself? What do you want to do?"
Xia Lan looked at Qin Yu, because she felt that he might want to do even more than she did.
"I want to give my brothers who have risked their lives for me a stable job so they can support their families."
Qin Yu's words startled Xia Lan. Just as she was about to ask why he didn't have a stable job, she suddenly remembered that Qin Yu had once said he wouldn't be a burden to the military...
What about those brothers...?
"You guessed it?"
Seeing Xia Lan's hesitant expression, Qin Yu knew she had already guessed.
"Du Qiang is the only one with all his hands and feet intact."
Qin Yu held Xia Lan in his arms and said softly.
"They all chose to leave the military because their bodies were no longer suitable for service. However, with their physical limitations, finding a good job is not easy..."
"So you gave your job opportunity to Du Qiang?"
Xia Lan looked at Qin Yu. She remembered that Qin Yu had said that he had given his job to Du Qiang.
"Um."
Qin Yu nodded.
Will you blame me?
If he hadn't given his job to Du Qiang, Xia Lan might be living a better life now.
Why should I blame you?
Xia Lan did not think that Qin Yu had done anything wrong.
“You must have had your reasons for giving up your job to Du Qiang, whatever those reasons may be.”
Qin Yu smiled and kissed Xia Lan.
"At that time, Du Qiang's mother was seriously ill, and his father abandoned his mother and ran away with another woman. Du Qiang had no choice but to leave the army."
Qin Yu said slowly, pursing his lips.
"But Du Qiang went home without arranging a job. All his money was used to treat his mother, and it wasn't enough."
"Later I also quit, so I gave my job to Du Qiang so that he could continue to pay for his mother's medical treatment."
"Unfortunately... she still passed away in the end."
Qin Yu recounted the past, and Xia Lan listened quietly.
So that's how it is. No wonder Qin Yu acted this way. If he were asked to lend money to Du Qiang, he definitely wouldn't accept it.
If you give him a job, he can rely on himself to treat his mother's illness.
"But what about yourself?"
Xia Lan looked at Qin Yu, who chuckled.
"I knew the Qin family wanted my money, and I guess this was a test! Did they really care about me as a person or just my money? As it turns out, they only cared about my money."
"When they found out I had no job after being discharged from the military, you saw what they did: they simply reassigned me to another job."
Qin Yu recounted the past, and Xia Lan felt distressed listening to him, yet he remained calm as he spoke.
Xia Lan grasped Qin Yu's hand, and he placed his hand on her stomach.
His gaze toward Xia Lan was full of tenderness.
"I'm not upset, nor am I wronged."
"I should be grateful to them. If they hadn't treated me like that, I wouldn't have met you!"
If it weren't for Wang Guihua and Xia Wei, he and Xia Lan might never have met.
Xia Lan smiled slightly, pursing her lips.
"Our meeting was indeed not easy."
It has spanned so many eras...
Qin Yu and Xia Lan locked eyes, naturally drawing closer, their reflections mingling in each other's eyes.
Before they knew it, their lips were pressed together, and Qin Yu passionately pressed Xia Lan down beneath him.
Xia Lan, however, was concerned about Qin Yu's leg.
"Brother Yu, no, your leg..."
Xia Lan gritted her teeth and looked at Qin Yu with teary eyes.
Qin Yu lowered his head and gently licked Xia Lan's earlobe, causing her to tremble slightly.
A deep, magnetic voice sounded in her ear.
"I still have my hands."
Xia Lan paused, and then she quickly understood what Qin Yu meant.
"Hmm..."
That night, Xia Lan was aroused by Qin Yu's teasing.
The next morning, Xia Lan gave Qin Yu a playful glare, finished breakfast, and hurriedly said goodbye to Qin Jun and Xiao Yuqin before heading back to school.
"Wait, I'll take you there."
Qin Jun quickly got up and personally escorted Xia Lan to school.
"Dad, won't this be too much trouble for you?"
Xia Lan followed Qin Jun into the military vehicle and sat obediently.
Qin Jun glanced at Xia Lan, whose well-behaved and demure posture made him feel as if he were looking at an adorable kitten.
"No trouble at all, it's on my way."
The soldier driving the car looked at Qin Jun in surprise.
Whichever is on the way: the military base or Beijing University.
One in the east, one in the west.
Qin Jun glared at him, and the soldier straightened up, shut his mouth, and obediently drove.
Qin Jun pursed his lips, wanting to smile, but then remembered how frightening his smile had been yesterday, and suppressed his slight upturn.
"Xia Lan, if you need anything in the future, just let me know, don't be shy."
Qin Jun wanted to express his gratitude to Xia Lan.
“I heard from Yuqin that you also lost your father. From now on, the Qin family will also be your family, and I will treat you like my daughter.”
Qin Jun learned that Xia Lan had lost both her parents within a year and was also bullied by her own uncle. He didn't know how she would have survived if she hadn't married Qin Yu.
Qin Jun didn't know how to raise his daughter, but he didn't mind asking his comrades who had daughters.
"Thank you, Dad."
