Chapter 182: A Birthday Surprise (5)
“I will visit you as often as I can.”
Li Qingcang did not give Ye Tianxin a definite day.
He was able to visit Ye Tianxin only because his camp was very close to the town of Jiameng where Ye Tianxin was.
“I am very happy that I was able to see you on my birthday, Elder Brother Li. Be careful when you drive back. Rest well. I will miss you.”
Below the apartment…
Li Qingcang waved at Ye Tianxin.
He only drove away when he saw Ye Tianxin walking past the iron gates.
What Li Qingcang did not know was that, when his car pulled away, Ye Tianxin bent down beside a wall with a face full of tears.
She curled up in the darkness alone and sobbed silently.
She could not bear for him to leave.
She could not bear for him to leave at all.
She wanted so badly that he could stay by her side and that he would never have to leave her again.
Ye Tianxin wiped away her tears. She tried to calm herself down. She knew they would meet again.
However, she hoped that he would stay longer, that he wouldn’t be in a hurry, that they would be able to talk…
Li Qingcang drove back to his dormitory. He lay on his bed and tossed and turned but could not fall asleep. Images of Ye Tianxin standing in front of the car’s headlights bothered him.
She was so beautiful.
She was so innocent and gentle.
He thought that Ye Tianxin had grown up and that she would fall in love in the future.
But his Tianxin was so adorable. Was there any guy who was good enough for her?
No. Li Qingcang felt that he had to remind Jing Zhichen to keep an eye on Ye Tianxin once she was done with her college entrance examinations. He must not let any of those muddleheaded men to get close to Tianxin.
Then, Li Qingcang thought about Ye Tianxin’s future boyfriend.
He had to be taller than Ye Tianxin.
He had to be as capable as Li Qingcang.
Otherwise, he might not be able to support Ye Tianxin in the future.
Li Qingcang thought about random things. When he woke up, it was already late. He hurriedly got dressed and went to the training grounds. When he reached the training grounds, Yan Zheng was already conducting the training for the team.
“Captain, the team has already gathered.”
Li Qingcang looked at Yan Ge. Yan Ge was part of the Yan family, and he had a bright future ahead of him. However, he would not do. He was almost seven years older than Tianxin!
“Yan Ge, I remember you have a younger brother. He’s Yan Jun, right?”
Yan Ge did not know why Li Qingcang had asked him about his brother. “Don’t mention that brat,” he answered, annoyed at the mention of his brother’s name. “We wanted him to join the army, but he did not want to. He went to join the entertainment industry instead! What’s worse, he even named himself as ‘Yan Jun’, written in different Chinese characters! My grandfather said that we are to break all ties with him.”
“How old is Yan Jun?” Li Qingcang continued to inquire.
“22.” Yan Ge was very honest.
Li Qingcang asked again, “Do you have a photo of him?”
His Tianxin was so beautiful and adorable. He had to find her a handsome man. Anyway, Tianxin was just 18. They were in no rush. They could take their time to get to know each other.
“Boss, what do you have in mind?” Yan Ge asked curiously.
Li Qingcang replied softly, “Nothing. Continue with the training.”
Li Qingcang walked on the training grounds. The gentle summer breeze blew on his face, and the image of Ye Tianxin from last night appeared in his mind once more…
This was not a good sign.
“Yan Ge, lead the team. We will run 30 kilometers carrying weights.”
Everyone went pale when they heard Li Qingcang’s order. They had only just returned from training last night, and now, they were going to run 30 kilometers carrying weights. They were hoping to still be able to walk after the grueling task.
