Chapter 3804: Good Days
Editor: Henyee Translations
Li Jinnian’s logical reasoning was extremely strong, and he was very careful. He actually deduced why Xia Jinyuan went overseas. He only guessed it in his heart and didn’t tell anyone.
Ye Jian didn’t know that Li Jinnian would be arriving in Nanguang soon and would enter the military unit to visit her. During the afternoon break, Ye Jian was ‘caught’ by the company commander. She was called over to the company to greet the visiting soldiers from the arts regiment who had brought along an exciting program.
“We’re all a bunch of rough men. The female soldiers from the arts troupe are delicate. If we raise our voices a little, we’ll scare them. Two years ago, a battalion commander scared the female soldiers and they ended up spraining their ankles because his voice was a little loud. At that time, the regimental commander glared at us and told us that we can forget about watching the female soldiers’ performance in the future.
“The regimental commander is ruthless and means what he says. In the past three years, no female soldiers from the arts troupe came to perform. The ones performing during the New Year’s Welcome Gala were all male soldiers and the soldiers’ wives.
“When they return, you and Ding Ling can treat them well. With you guys around, I can rest assured. At least our loud voices won’t scare the female soldiers into twisting their ankles again.”
The company commander told Ye Jian about the ‘tragedy’ three years ago. He only had one goal—to ensure that the female soldiers performed normally.
It couldn’t be helped. The gender ratio in the military unit was severely imbalanced. Every time there was a festival, all the men would reveal their emotions, especially the single soldiers. It could be said that every time the female soldiers from the troupe came, their gazes… were almost sincere.
If the female soldiers made eye contact with them, that would be amazing. They would become happy and shy. However, if they really had to speak to the female soldiers… they would be frightened!
They were all satisfied with just one look. They didn’t dare to look for too long.
It was almost the end of the year. They missed their parents, their wives, their children, and their girlfriends… They might seem tough normally, but as the new year approached, their hearts were full of yearning. No matter how difficult the training was, it couldn’t stop them from missing their family, loved ones, and children.
Soldiers were humans too. The military uniform gave them a mission that allowed them to keep their emotions away easily. However, humans would be weak sometimes. It was inevitable.
At this moment, they needed consolation. The New Year’s Welcome Gala was the greatest consolation for the soldiers.
There were performances to watch and touching conversations to listen to. They were able to receive concern when they were at their weakest. They could feel the concern from the military unit. They would then pat their chests and carry their guns. With their heads raised and their chests puffed out, they were soldiers who bled but didn’t cry!
Although this was Ye Jian’s first time being sent to the company, she was not unfamiliar with the life of a grassroots company. When she was in Fujun Town, she often trained and lived with the soldiers in the company. She understood why the soldiers valued this New Year’s Welcome Gala that included female soldiers from the arts troupe.
A few days ago, when Ye Jian came over with Ding Ling, they were treated as ‘treasures’ and were warmly welcomed. That was when they knew that even their company’s secretary… was a male soldier!
No wonder the male soldiers and the company commander were looking forward to this.
The female soldiers from the arts troupe were still rehearsing in the hall. The moment Ye Jian and Ding Ling entered the hall, they saw a few male soldiers who had also been brought over. They were setting up tables and chairs. Just like what the company commander said, they were so obedient that they didn’t even have the guts to raise their heads and peek at the female soldiers on the stage.
When they were on the training ground, they were so energetic and lively. At this moment, they all became shy.
Ye Jian’s gaze landed on the stage. A dancing figure instantly caught her eye. She saw Xia Jinyuan’s cousin, Zhou Yijin, and… Du Jiayi, who was standing beside the regimental commander, Du Kaiwei.
