Mr. Fu’s heart ached as he pushed Ye Jian’s arm. He pretended to be serious and criticized, “Are you still in the mood to tease me? Does it still hurt? Besides your hand, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else? Don’t hide it. If you’re uncomfortable, tell me. Do you understand?”

“I’m alright. I feel alright after boxing just now. Hurry up and smile at my coach. Look at you. You scared him so much that he didn’t dare to hand me the hot towel.”

“You! You’re putting on a brave front!” Mr. Fu didn’t know what to do with his daughter. He glared at her but had a smile on his face. Then, he turned around and said to the soldier who brought a hot towel over, “Come, come. Give me the hot towel.”

The soldier stood at attention instinctively. Then, he hurriedly passed the hot towel over. Before he could speak, Mr. Fu smiled and said, “Thank you for your hard work just now. Go and rest.”

“It wasn’t not hard, Chief.” The soldier handed over a hot towel and saluted before leaving.

Ye Jian didn’t think much of it before. Now, she could tell that the soldiers were a little reserved toward her father and Commander Xia. She held the hot towel in her hands and leaned closer to Mr. Fu. Smiling, she said, “If I want to come over next time, I can’t let you and Commander Xia accompany me. It’s so stressful because other soldiers don’t dare to approach me.”

“Girl, are you blaming me for coming to the wrong place?” Mr. Fu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this. “It’s rare for me to take some time to accompany you. Do you despise me?”

“No, no, definitely not. But next time, you have to wear different clothes.”

“It seems you do despise me. You despise me for my clothes.”

“You sure have a twisted way of understanding things. When did I say I despise you?”

“Oh, I don’t dare to argue with you anymore. I’m old and can’t beat you. How can I dare to argue with a fierce girl like you?”

Ye Jian was speechless. She didn’t know how to respond to her father’s humor.

Commander Xia didn’t come over. As Ye Jian’s future father-in-law, he wouldn’t join in the fun when the father and daughter were sharing a warm moment. He was more concerned about the grass-roots level and chatted with the other soldiers. It was good to ask them about their recent situation.

After bickering with her father, Ye Jian’s hands no longer hurt and her heart no longer felt suffocated. She finally recovered. When she regained her senses, she remembered her loss of composure just now. Her red face was even hotter now. She apologized to the soldier who had been her sparring partner. After resting, she changed her clothes and left the boxing training hall with her future father-in-law and her father.

The consequence of suddenly exerting too much strength was that the next day, Ye Jian realized that her arms were a little sore!

Ever since Principal Chen dropped a heavy object on her wrist to stabilize her hands, no matter how tired or tiring her training was, she had never felt sore in her arms after resting for a night.

Due to her sore arms, Ye Jian, who was planning to go to the Southern Province, accompanied Old Master Fu on the 15th of January under Mr. Fu’s coercion instead. She even went to the Xia family’s old residence with Old Master Fu. In the blink of an eye, Ye Jian only had three days of vacation.

It was almost time for Mr. Fu to return to the base. However, before that, he wanted to accompany Ye Jian to the Southern Province to visit his wife. He had even booked a plane ticket. In the end, he was called back to the military unit on the afternoon of the 16th of January. Fortunately, he had already packed his luggage. After receiving the call, he returned to the base with his luggage.

After the father and daughter left, the old man was alone in the house again.

The old man was already used to living alone. His son was devoted to scientific research, and his granddaughter needed to go to school. The father and daughter had accompanied him at home for so long, so the old man was satisfied.
