Ye Jian could already see the confusion in her friend’s eyes and the struggle in them. She was not persuading her friend to do anything. She was just explaining the problems that her friend needed to face if she chose to proceed with the relationship.
“This cycle continues day after day. You have to rely on a short period of sweetness to continue leading a life without him. Jiaxin, ask yourself if you can accept such a life and if you can bear it.
“I’m unable to give you any advice. I can only analyze things for you and tell you that you’re the only one who can make your own choice. No one else can help you and make the decision for you.”
An Jiaxin, who didn’t cry loudly, was choked with tears. She couldn’t say anything for a while. Ye Jian took a tissue to wipe the tears on her face and acpanied her patiently.
An Jiaxin waited until her emotions gradually calmed down before asking in a hoarse voice, “What about you? Are you the same?”
“Jiaxin, I’m different from you. The person I love and I are both soldiers. We chose to go to the army, so we have the same direction. Separation and silence are normal for us. We’ll get used to separation and accept it. Our paths will never change.
“Thus, I’m different from you.”
An Jiaxin didn’t give up. She struggled and asked, “Ye Jian, can you accept that he won’t be by your side when you need him the most?”
“I can, because I know that even though he’s not with me, his heart will always be with me. When he needs me the most, I won’t be with him, but my heart will always be with him.
“I can endure separation, accept separation, and get used to separation. This is because every time we’re separated, we’ll work hard for our next meeting,” Ye Jian said very clearly, making An Jiaxin understand that accepting a soldier with a special identity required a lot of effort.
An Jiaxin had never thought about it so deeply. She was only thinking about why he always left without saying goodbye if he was pursuing her. She thought that he was too rude and didn’t take her seriously.
Ye Jian’s words were like a thunderbolt that struck her heart. She suddenly realized that there were so many problems in dating a soldier.
“Think about it carefully. You can only make a choice if you think through it yourself.” Ye Jian saw her confused face and reached out to hug her friend gently. She said softly, “You won’t be able to understand it in a short time. How old are you? You’re only in your first year of university. Why are you hurt by these things?”
T6 was probably sincere. She didn’t need to doubt his sincerity. However, she needed to tell Jiaxin how hard it would be to date T6. One was a rade, while the other was a good friend. She naturally hoped that the two of them could live well together. However, she also did not wish for the two of them to fall in love with each other in the future and end up hating each other.
Silence filled the room. It was four o’clock in the morning, and the city was still dark. Ye Jian closed her eyes slowly.
After some time, Ye Jian suddenly heard An Jiaxin asking her carefully, “Jian, what if I join the military? Will I… be like you?”
The feeling of sleepiness that had just surged up within Ye Jian instantly disappeared. Ye Jian opened her eyes and looked at her with clear eyes. “Jiaxin, I said that you and I are different. You don’t need to look at me the same way. You just need to follow your heart.
“My choice and my identity can’t be your reference, do you understand?”.
