Chapter 1107: What Else Do You Want?
He smiled amiably and continued, “I raised a few chicks and ducklings at home. After you finish your university entrance examination, I will cook them to give you some nourishment. A girl needs to know how to cherish her body. You train hard normally but when you’re free, you need to take care of your health and eat back what you lost. This is the long-term approach you should take.”
Uncle Gen was worried about what would happen in the village. Since he was able to convince Principal Chen, he could convince Ye Jian.
However, since Ye Jian had a mental barrier, he took one day longer to convince her.
After Ye Jian left for school the next day, Uncle Gen told Principal Chen, “I wonder whose temper Jian takes after. Her mother wasn’t so stubborn in the past. I said that I will leave today but it looks like I have to stay another day.”
“Old Gen, just rest for another day.” Principal Chen was convinced yesterday but it didn’t mean that he would accept Uncle Gen’s decision immediately. Now, he felt the same way as Ye Jian. They would keep Uncle Gen here for as many days as possible.
No matter how much they wanted Uncle Gen to stay, he still left. Ye Jian didn’t manage to send him off because she was in school. She wanted to send him off but Uncle Gen insisted.
Ye Jian normally reached school at 7.10 am but this time, she left for school only at 7.30 am. She looked at Uncle Gen who was standing at the door and waving at her continuously. Even though an entire night had passed, Ye Jian still felt something pressing down on her heart.
“Study well, lass.”
Uncle Gen asked Ye Jian to go to school quickly. The white-haired old man’s eyes were clouded but there was a glimmer in it. It was the wisdom that came with time. He smiled. It was a kind and amiable smile.
The sun had come out. Ye Jian leaned against the window and bathed in the warm winter sunlight. She looked through her revision materials and started writing notes in her notebook. A warm and golden ray of sunlight engulfed her. She looked as though she didn’t belong to this world.
“Ye Jian, help me with this question.” A student came over with a math script and asked for her help politely, “I realized that something wasn’t right at the fourth step and I can’t continue. However, I feel that this formula is right.”
Ye Jian didn’t look up when her classmate interrupted her thoughts. She used her pencil to point out the error in her solution. “The formula is right but you drew your auxiliary line wrongly.”
The train would leave at 11 am. Ye Jian pursed her lips slightly as she looked at the time. She wanted to go back to the village on Labour’s Day. She hadn’t returned for a few years so it was time to go back to the village…
Ye Jian was good at hiding her thoughts. Uncle Gen had gone back for a period of time but she didn’t reveal any of her worry on her face. She came for lessons alone and participated in all kinds of Special Forces training. Even a close friend like An Jiaxin only noticed that she would be in a daze occasionally.
At this moment, Ye Jian was able to hide her emotions so well that her closest friend couldn’t notice it. She was calculating the time. She calculated that it would take 18 to 19 hours to reach the town from the provincial city. Thus, she would make a call at around 8 or 9 am tomorrow.
She only felt at ease when she heard Uncle Gen’s powerful voice on the phone. Maybe she was really thinking too much.
She was able to get reborn so Uncle Gen might be able to live longer because of her presence.
She smiled and hung up. She didn’t know that Grandma Ye calculated the time too and came to find Uncle Gen right at this moment. She was sitting in the main hall with a harsh look on her seemingly kind face. She gave a fake smile and said to Uncle Gen who just hung up, “Old man, you need to give me a reply today. Jian is the daughter of my oldest son. How can you take her registered residence out?”
