Chu Liyuan steadied his emotions in front of him. "What?"
"Can you please ask Instructor Shang to allow Xiaoting to participate in training at the base?"
"What?"
"I have no other choice! Only there can Xiaoting improve herself in the shortest amount of time! So..."
"That place is where many people would avoid if they can. Are you sure you want to send her there?" Chu Liyuan looked at Jian Dan for confirmation.
"When I was young, you sent me there too, didn’t you?" Jian Dan pouted as she spoke.
"That was different. At that time, I had given notice in advance, and you were my person; no one dared to mess with you for real. But it’s different for others.
And God knows how much I regretted sending you there afterward."
"Xiaoting, did you hear that? Do you still want to go?"
"I want to go! After hearing what you’ve said, I’m even more certain of my determination to go. I want to bee stronger!"
"Uncle~" Seeing Xiaoting’s resolute attitude, Jian Dan knew that Xiaoting’s mind would not be changed.
"I’ll make the arrangements!"
"Thank you, Uncle!" Jian Dan reached up on her tiptoes, grabbed Chu Liyuan’s collar with both hands, and gently kissed Chu Liyuan’s lips.
"Go back!"
"Okay!
Xiaoting, sort out your school matters in the next few days, I’ll e to pick you up!"
"Okay!"
"Uncle, let’s go!" Jian Dan took Chu Liyuan’s hand and left.
"Xiaoting, where are you going?" Ouyang Jing approached Xiaoting and asked.
"Where am I going? What are you talking about?" Xiaoting dodged the question.
"Don’t lie to me; I heard some of what you just said."
"Since that’s the case, then I’ll tell you! Indeed, I am leaving, but I can’t tell you where I’m going. Sorry!" Xiaoting had already inferred from Jian Dan’s words that the place she was going to was not an ordinary place, so it was best for as few people as possible to know.
"But have you really thought it through? From what Jian Dan said, it’s clear that the place you’re going to is not simple."
"Ouyang Jing, you seem so anxious, could it be that you’ve fallen for me?"
"Of course not, how could that be possible? I’m just worried about you as a friend!
I’ve had very few friends since I was little; you and Jian are really important friends to me."
"I understand, don’t worry! I’ll be fine!"
"Okay!"
"Well, I’m going back to the dormitory!"
Ouyang Jing watched Xiaoting’s retreating figure, his eyes filled with a plex expression.
The next day, Jian Dan was just about to leave in the early morning when she saw Ouyang Jing lingering at the entrance of Li Garden.
"Ouyang Jing? Why are you here?"
"I came to see you!"
"Why didn’t you call me if you wanted to talk?"
"I was afraid of disturbing you..." after hesitating "disturbing your rest!" Ouyang Jing awkwardly averted his gaze from Jian Dan.
Seeing the look on Ouyang Jing’s face, Jian Dan knew he must have thought of something inappropriate for children and gave him a sideways glance before saying, "So, if I hadn’t e out, would you have just kept waiting like this?"
"No, I was planning to wait a bit longer before calling you!"
"Have you had breakfast yet?"
"Yes, I have! I ate at the school gates!"
"Spit it out! What do you want to say?"
"I was thinking... I want to..."
"Why have you bee so hesitant? Hurry up!"
"I want to go with Xiaoting!" Ouyang Jing blurted out when he saw Jian Dan about to leave.
"What?"
"I heard some of your conversation yesterday. I don’t know where Xiaoting is going, but I want to go with her so we can look out for each other."
"Ouyang Jing, could it be that you have a crush on Xiaoting?"
"Of course not."
"Not?"
Jian Dan leaned closer to look at Ouyang Jing.
"Really not! After my sister left me, in this world, you and Xiaoting are the dearest people to me. In my heart, you’re not just my friends; you’re my family."
"Oh! But you don’t even know where Xiaoting is going, and you dare to go with her?"
"Whether it’s Xiaoting or you, for you two I would go through fire and water without blinking."
"Are you sure about this?"
Actually, Jian Dan was quite happy that Ouyang Jing wanted to go with Xiaoting. First, the two could take care of each other, and secondly, Ouyang Jing was indeed more suitable than Xiaoting to go through some tough training!
"Yes!"
"Well then, since you’ve made up your mind, I agree."
"Don’t tell Xiaoting about this for now."
"Huh? You want to surprise her?"
"No, I’m afraid she wouldn’t want me to go with her.
After all, that’s not a good place!"
"What are you talking about? Why wouldn’t it be a good place!" After saying that, Jian Dan herself felt a bit guilty, "It’s only a bit harsh, right?"
Hehe~ Just a bit harsh, right?
