Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don't Mess Around!

He was looking at Ye Jian, but it did not really seem like it. His gaze was a little dispirited.

His daughter’s surname was ‘Ye’ and not ‘Fu.’ He thought that his wife must’ve married another man. He was afraid that if he appeared, she wouldn’t want to see him again.

He thought that if that was the case… that was fine too. He was alright with only being able to look at her from afar as long as he knew that she was doing well. He wouldn’t disturb her.

!!

At first, this was what he thought, but he only dared to think this way.

He didn’t dare to think too deeply about other possibilities. He was afraid that he was thinking too much.

What the old man said today had already alarmed him. He didn’t dare to think about it anymore.

It was fine as long as she was alive. He didn’t dare to ask for anything else.

He would let go of his persistence, let go of the past, and spend the rest of his life with his daughter.

However, the outcome he didn’t want the most still happened.

The woman he loved the most and the wife he loved deeply had passed away more than ten years ago.

“I said that I’d marry her and let her live a good life where she could do whatever she wanted. Your mother definitely thought that men were indeed unreliable and that the words we said were no different from lies. She must’ve thought that I said those things casually and quickly forgot about them.

“Red Plum must’ve blamed me. She left without a word… On the day we were supposed to go get our marriage certificate, she must have waited from the time we agreed upon until the sun set.

“Your mother looks gentle, but she’s actually a woman who can endure hardships. She was chosen to be the first female soldier in our country. You don’t know how powerful your mother is, especially her marksmanship. Even the chief of the military unit praised her. Even male soldiers can’t compare to her.

“Such a powerful female soldier was wooed by a weak scholar like me. We agreed to spend the rest of our lives together, but in the end, I disappeared on the day we were supposed to get our marriage certificate. She must’ve been so sad! Just how much did she hate me?”

Ye Jian, who was sitting opposite him, burst into tears. When she heard her father’s last sentence, Ye Jian shook her head with tears in her eyes. “No, no. Mom didn’t hate you. She really didn’t hate you…” She was just disappointed.

“I waited since morning. I waited until the sun rose above my head and the sun set. I waited and waited until it was dark, but he still didn’t come…

“There’s no news of the person I love anymore. It’s as if he disappeared just like that. He disappeared, but I got pregnant. His bloodline reminded me that my love with him wasn’t a dream…” Ye Jian said the words her mother wrote in her diary softly. Her voice was soft and gentle. It was like the evening breeze in summer or the cold wind in winter.

Hearing what his late wife wrote in her diary, the chief missile engineer had a tragic expression on his face. He clenched his fists tightly. He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles looked like they were about to break through his skin.

His eyes were red. It looked like tears were flowing out, but they weren’t.

In the past, Chief Engineer Fu didn’t cry when he was wronged. His eyes wouldn’t turn red either. Now, because of what his deceased wife wrote in her diary, his eyes turned red.

He didn’t cry, but Ye Jian felt that he was crying. It was a cry from the depths of his soul.

Real sorrow wasn’t something that could be revealed on the surface. It was suppressed in one’s heart and one wouldn’t know how to vent it.

He couldn’t find a way to vent his sorrow.
