143: Chapter 121: Friend or Foe?_2 143: Chapter 121: Friend or Foe?_2 Chuxia surrendered with a raise of her hands, “Fine, fine, fine, you speak, I’m listening, you speak, ok now?” “Such virtue!” Yang Xiaoli rolled her eyes and continued, “Regimental Commander Zhou personally told Jing Zhe that he wants to marry you, dismissing Jing Zhe’s proposal of making you his assistant. Jing Zhe grew up with him and naturally doubted this sudden decision, questioning whether it was due to love that he wanted to marry you. Anyway, the two of them didn’t end their talk on a pleasant note. Jing Zhe really appreciates your talent, although I can’t see where your talent lies, but Jing Zhe said, you are quite talented...” Seeing Chuxia’s expression turning from sunny to cloudy, Yang Xiaoli quickly steered the topic back, “Jing Zhe doesn’t want to bury your talent, so he went back to consult his mom, my aunt, about talking to Aunt Lin. My mom was there too, so, I got to know about this. Don’t worry, I haven’t told anyone, including Mengmeng and Jihong, I can assure you, no one else in the unit knows, aside from me. Of course, that’s just through my channel. Whether Commander Zhou has spoken to others or if it has spread already, that I don’t know. Oh, right, what was it I wanted to talk to you about?” Yang Xiaoli scratched her head, “How come I’ve followed your train of thought and started explaining this matter to you? Oh, yes, I’m here on behalf of my aunt to tell you, a woman must rely on her own ability to achieve success to earn respect from men and recognition from society. She doesn’t hope to see you getting married at such a young age and leading an inconsequential life. She said a woman can lead an exciting life on her own, not necessarily having to depend on a man to live wonderfully.” “Your aunt, are we close?” Chuxia couldn’t understand why a stranger she had never met wanted to interfere with how she lived her life, whether out of kindness or not, it seemed outside of what she was willing to accept. “Probably not close to you, but Jing Zhe has spoken quite highly of you, praising you to the skies until unmatched below. Then, my aunt had some ideas of her own. Alright, I’ll also tell you a little secret. My aunt and Aunt Lin are good friends but also lifetime rivals. Jing Zhe asking my aunt to persuade Aunt Lin was really a mistake. Even if Aunt Lin was originally against the idea, a push from my aunt would have her agree in no time, let alone if she wasn’t opposed to it in the first place. Aunt Lin’s first reaction would definitely be that my aunt fancies you, wanting to marry you into their family, so she absolutely couldn’t listen to my aunt and would make sure to hold onto you tightly, determined to have you as her daughter-in-law!” Lin Chuxia, I just don’t understand what’s good about you that two excellent men are actually competing and getting jealous over you. Even though Jing Zhe won’t admit it, both my aunt and my mom think if he had not the slightest bit of fondness for you, he definitely wouldn’t have made a fuss to praise you!” After digesting for quite a while, Chuxia sorted out everything Yang Xiaoli had said, “You all really got it wrong. Doctor Jing truly values my talent, alright, it seems a bit arrogant for me to speak of my own talent, but to be factual, I can’t compare to you in physical strength, but in cultural studies, I am definitely not any worse than any of you. Besides, that emergency aid in the cafeteria also scored me points. So, you all really misunderstood Doctor Jing. Perhaps he really felt it would be a pity if I just married and had kids like that.” The rest she didn’t say out loud—girls with a wide range of knowledge were too scarce in this era. She could feel Jing Zhe testing her, and she deliberately didn’t hide her intelligence. She needed opportunities. Why hide? If her physical fitness was already poor, hiding further would indeed send her back home... Yang Xiaoli waved her hand off, “Never mind, we won’t argue about this. Whether he likes you or not, will become clear eventually. What I want to say now is, I hope you can truly live up to their affection for you. Furthermore, I hope you can make things a bit easier for Captain Zeng. You must have seen, she’s favoring you everywhere, but if this continues, someone is bound to report her. At the same time, it will be hard for you to stay in the unit.” All of a sudden, Chuxia had a feeling that the incredibly naive Yang Xiaoli had suddenly become very understanding. She believed that Yang Xiaoli coming to advise her must be under someone’s instruction, and at the same time, it was also her own will.” “I understand.” Without further debate, Chuxia responded. Originally, she had also intended to start intense training for herself, but just then... her gaze stealthily drifted towards the cafeteria. Following Chuxia’s line of sight, Yang Xiaoli’s eyes rolled, and she pulled her along to leave. Chuxia didn’t utter a sound, letting her drag her swiftly across the dormitory area and to the outside of the cafeteria. She made a silence gesture, crouched down, and motioned for Chuxia to follow. Turning to the side of the cafeteria, where there was a small, low wall, Yang Xiaoli put her hands on it, gathered some strength, and leaped over, looking around alertly, she waved to Chuxia, pulling her onto the wall too, and then jumped down first, signaling Chuxia to jump down. “Ouch...” Landing unsteadily, Chuxia fell on her bottom. To top it off, a large potato just happened to be right beneath her, causing sharp pain as it dug into her. She realized this small courtyard served as the vegetable storage area for the cafeteria. In a hushed tone, Yang Xiaoli explained, “Before, my second uncle was in Division A and often took me here to play, don’t worry, the patrol doesn’t pass by here. If you’re scared to come on your own, I can accompany you.” (To be continued.
