Chapter 622 Someone Better
While Mu Chenyan had gone to the hospital, Yue Yue had actually taken a box with her and came to the military base. She came to see her own nephew. It was the first time for her to be here but since it was Elder Xiang who arranged everything for her visit, she didn’t have to worry about anything.She was easily able to enter the base after a regular identity check. Someone even directed her toward Zhai Yanjun’s dormitory.
”Ayi!”
Zhai Yanjun was sweating profusely when he came running to her. When he heard that he had a visitor, he was so shocked that he froze for a whole minute. After all, apart from his father, no one came to visit him at the base. And his father would also not come so casually.
His eyes were sparkling when he looked at Yue Yue and even hugged her petite body happily. “What are you doing here? Why didn’t you tell me, you’re coming?” He had so much to ask but he couldn’t say much right now.
Yue Yue felt distressed looking at his tanned skin and that sweat rolling down the side of his face. She took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat.
Zhai Yanjun obediently allowed her to do whatever she wanted. He didn’t care that his subordinates were watching from the side with their jaws hanging. He was basking in the warmth that this woman brought to him.
People had been telling him that he was changing. Zhai Yanjun didn’t know what change it was. But he was certain that even if he was unconsciously changing, it was because of his aunt. Because he was feeling genuinely happy lately.
”Ayi, don’t just stand here. Let’s go inside the dormitory,” said Zhai Yanjun and hurriedly unlocked the door of the dormitory room. However, when he looked at the condition of his dorm, he wanted to backtrack and leave.
It was already late though. Yue Yue had already seen it all. Seeing his embarrassed look, Yue Yue didn’t know what to say. She still smiled gently at him and typed on her phone, ‘Where is the discipline of a soldier?’
Zhai Yanjun scratched his head and lowered his eyes, “I was busy in the last few days because of the intense training. So, I didn’t get the chance to clean up. I promise it’s not always like this.”
Yue Yue chuckled silently at his reaction and punched his cheek before she went over and cleared up the wooden table that was filled with a half-eaten box of instant noodles. A pack of biscuits and other suck snacks. Everything was just scattered there. She threw it all in the trash can and then she placed the meal that she brought for him on the table.
’Don’t just stand there, I prepared it all for you.’
Zhai Yanjun looked at the array of food and then he looked at her. Smiling at her, he said, “Ayi, didn’t I tell you not to do this? You sent me a meal a couple of days ago. Now, you’re here yourself.”
’I had time the other day and I have time today. It’s not even a big deal. Talk less and eat more.’
Zhai Yanjun chuckled when he heard that mechanical voice from her phone. “Ayi, you’ll spoil me this way.”
’That’s the plan.’
Zhai Yanjun was even happier to hear that and instantly when to wash up before coming to sit down and gobble up the food. He couldn’t possibly say no to the food prepared with love and care, right? After all, no matter how good the food was at the canteen, it could never match the warmth of this home-cooked meal.
While he ate, he noticed how Yue Yue got busy making his bed. She first changed his sheets and then she even washed his sheets and clothes that he had gathered in the room. He tried to stop her multiple times but she wasn’t willing to listen. She already thought he had it tough in the military, now looking at his living conditions, she was even more worried about him.
After cleaning up his room, she came to sit beside him and poked his chest before typing on her phone, ‘If you continued like this, how will you get a girlfriend?’
”I’m so handsome. Someone must be willing to be my girlfriend,” he told her cheekily.
’Face is not everything,’ she pointed out.
Zhai Yanjun shrugged carelessly, “Some people only look at the face. So, I’m sure someone will be out there who is willing to love me with all my flaws.”
Yue Yue eyed him carefully, ‘You said it like there is already someone.’ Zhai Yanjun’s eyes widened when he heard that. ‘Spill it! Who is it?’
”No one,” he replied.
’Don’t lie to me.’
Zhai Yanjun was actually quite weak before Yue Yue’s eyes and could only tell her honestly, “I had a girlfriend. We dated for ten years but we broke up.”
’Why?’
”Because she loved me too much and I didn’t love her enough.”
Yue Yue frowned at his words. She patted his head. ‘But you do love her?’
Zhai Yanjun smiled at her softly, “Ayi, maybe I really don’t know what love is. How can a person who didn’t even know how to love himself be able to love someone else right? I wasted too much of her time and her feelings just because I wasn’t able to find the right way to love her.”
Yue Yue’s heart hurt for her nephew and she placated him, ‘There is no right way to love someone. There isn’t a wrong way either. You just have to love her. And if you still love her, there is no way she won’t be yours.’
Zhai Yanjun shook his head, “Nah. I don’t want to waste any more time of her. Maybe she can really find someone better than me. So, why should I tie her to my side and ask her to wait for me to figure out my feelings? She doesn’t deserve that.”
