“What’s wrong? Nian Xi’s fiancé doesn’t want to change his job?”
Luo Sang crept out from under the blanket when she heard Nian Junting’s voice change.
He turned to look at her, his mood ruined. “Luo Sang, would you marry to a military man and live that kind of life? Jichuan is no ordinary soldier. He frequently has to go downrange for missions. He even has to travel to dangerous places and countries for his mission sometimes.”
“Well, he deserves our respect for wanting to serve our country and protect our sovereign. There are many military wives out there who are proud of what their husbands do.” Luo Sang frowned and continued, “I guess I can’t live that kind of life myself. I can’t stand not having my husband at home and carrying on a long-distance relations.h.i.+p. Nian Xi is different from me, no doubt. She is a police officer. She has the same vision to serve the country.”
“Nian Xi isn’t all that pa.s.sionate about being in the police force.” Nian Junting laid down beside her. “She’s liked Jichuan since she was a kid, always following him around. Both of his parents are high-ranking military officials, and his grandpa was my grandfather’s comrade. Our families have always been close, and they were kind of like childhood sweethearts. Nian Xi signed up with the police academy and trained to be an officer for Jichuan’s sake. She had hoped and thought that Jichuan would eventually change his profession and enter the police force. I didn’t approve of this relations.h.i.+p at first. It’s too tough being a soldier’s wife…”
He suddenly realized that the woman beside him was strangely quiet. He turned to look at her, and she was smiling at him silently. “What are you looking at?”
“Junting, you’ve always acted as if you didn’t care about Nian Xi, your sister. You actually care for her deeply, don’t you?” Luo Sang tickled his foot with her toes.
“No kidding. I’m the only one who can bully my sister. No one else is allowed to hurt her in any way. Same goes for you.” Nian Junting scooped her into his arms and said, “Jichuan is getting Nian Xi a present for Christmas. What are you getting me?”
Luo Sang frowned. “I should be the one asking you that question.”
“I’ll get you something for sure, but I’m worried that I won’t receive anything in return if I don’t remind you now,” Nian Junting said pitifully.
