Chapter 57 - Moving Away from School (2/2)

“I have been thinking of moving out, but I’m still considering…” before finis.h.i.+ng her sentence, Ye Jian raised her head to look at Princ.i.p.al Chen and Uncle Yang. Her eyes were filled with joy.

Princ.i.p.al Chen could tell that Ye Jian had discerned his intention. Laughing, he patted on the hand of the middle-aged man and said, “Battalion Commander Yang, please take care of this child for the next 18 months.”

“No problem. It’s a pleasure that our army can help. You can rest a.s.sured that we will take care of her, as long as she is willing to stay with us.”

Battalion Commander Yang waved his hands repeatedly, suggesting that it was unnecessary for Princ.i.p.al Chen to thank him. He said, “She will have a single room with a restroom and a balcony. Since she is still a student, I will add a shelf and a desk lamp to her room tomorrow. What do you think?”

“I will leave it to you,” said Princ.i.p.al Chen. The thoroughly considerate Battalion Commander Yang made him feel more comfortable to let Ye Jian live on her own in the New Recruit Camp, which was not only safe but inconspicuous.

Ye Jian had no idea how many times her tears had threatened to leave her eyes. She leaned over, trying to bow to Battalion Commander Yang. She said, “Thank you, Uncle Yang, I will definitely not cause any trouble for you.”

Before she bent her back, Battalion Commander Yang had reached out his dignified hands to stop her. He said in a deep voice, “That would be too much, kid. Remember, as soldiers, we are unyielding. So, straighten your back!”

More than one person has told Ye Jian to keep her back straight at all times and never bend easily.

It was 11 pm. when she was back at school. Ye Jian pushed the door to her dorm gently. She frowned.

To facilitate the supervisors to check the dormitories, the school had forbidden students to lock their doors from the inside. But tonight, her dorm was locked from the inside.

Every night, with no exception, when she returned to her dormitory after her training, it was already 11 o’clock.
