730 Her boyfriend
Just as Xia Pingan was looking at the information on the Secret Service tactical communications watch, the Child of Fortune had already found Xia Ning.
Xia Ning was wearing a light green sweater, a scarf, and a pair of black boots. She was sitting on a bench under a tall Begonia tree next to Swan Lake behind the school library. She had a satchel beside her and was chatting with the people around her while facing the sparkling lake.
There were swans and water birds playing in the lake, and several single-person kayaks were swinging on the surface of the lake. It was very quiet.
It had been many years since they last met and Xia Ning had completely grown up. Not only had she grown a little taller, but she had also completely shed off her naivety and innocence. She now had a unique aura and beauty that was influenced by an artistic atmosphere. Her eyes were also less confused and shy than before and had a little more wisdom and experience that an adult woman should have. However, her shoulder-length short hair still maintained her appearance from before and revealed a little stubbornness.
A handsome young man in his twenties, who was wearing a decent gray suit, sat next to Xia Ning. He looked at Xia Ning’s beautiful side profile with a tender and loving gaze.
The boy was very tall and had broad shoulders. When the two of them sat together, Xia Ning wasn’t considered short, but the boy was a head taller than her.
In a corner of the campus, two people sat together. The man was handsome and confident, and the woman was beautiful and dignified. There was an indescribable sense of tacit understanding between them. Many students passing by on the surrounding roads couldn’t help but cast envious gazes at the two.
Wanwan, it’s my grandfather’s eightieth birthday next Saturday. The family has prepared a little dinner. My grandfather and my parents want me to invite you to come along, Wanwan, ” the boy said, as if he had mustered up his courage. this is a small family gathering, and there won’t be many outsiders. I think our relationship can also be officially made public. Grandpa still doesn’t know about it!
how’s Grandpa doing? I didn’t see him in the garden the last time I went, ” Xia Ning nodded shyly, but still asked, ” I’ve been busy with my graduation art exhibition this semester and haven’t visited him in a long time. I’ve read all sorts of things in the newspapers!
don’t worry, Grandpa is in good health. A Summoner at his age is still in his Prime. He wasn’t in the capital for a while, so he had the time to visit some old friends overseas. He wanted to take a walk and relax.
Oh, Yingluo. Xia Ning nodded. I heard that the situation in the South isn’t too good. Won’t You Be transferred to carry out the mission? ”
The man didn’t say anything. He just took out a small red booklet and handed it to Xia Ning. On the booklet were the words ‘certificate of a retired officer’. Xia Ning took a look at the booklet and was surprised. you’ve retired from the Army? when did that happen? ”
The man smiled and gently tidied Xia Ning’s hair. His actions were gentle and affectionate. just last week, I’ve already served beyond my time limit. I could’ve been discharged at the end of last year. Previously, my father wanted me to develop in the Army in the future. Now that my grandfather has retired, my father’s thoughts have changed, so I’ve retired so that I can spend more time with you. After returning to the capital Circle, I won’t be leaving for a while. Didn’t you want to open an Art Gallery? ” “I’ve already found a place for you. It’s on Binzhou Avenue. It’s more than 6000 square meters and has two floors. I’ve already asked people to renovate it. You can work there in peace in the future. I think you’ll definitely become a great artist. Don’t worry, I saved the money myself. I didn’t use my family’s money. I know you don’t like Yingluo.”
Xia Ning furrowed her brows slightly. She didn’t look too excited and instead looked a little serious. I still think you look better in your military uniform. Although it’s a bit dangerous to be a Summoner in the Army, the current situation requires your help. I think what sister an Qing and uncle tu are doing is very meaningful and can help a lot of people. The country also needs you. If I were a Summoner, I would also be willing to help like them.”
The man laughed bitterly. He felt that even though Xia Ning studied art, she was more like a soldier than he was at times. She had a strong and positive side to her personality. He was not sure if it was because of her brother’s influence, but this was also what Xia Ning was attracted to. The man shook his head slightly and explained patiently and gently, ” there are some situations that you don’t understand. The situation in the Army is more complicated than you think. I used to be the Army’s high priest and many people are eyeing this position. Due to the change in my grandpa’s situation, I would be inevitably affected. If I don’t give up this position, I might be buried in the Army or even become cannon fodder. Therefore, after considering all the factors, I chose to retire voluntarily. My father also agreed to let me come back to rest for the time being. It doesn’t mean that I can’t serve the country or contribute to it. In fact, there are many other things that can be done!”
As he spoke, the man reached out his hand and gently held Xia Ning’s hand in his. actually, I’m different from my brother and the others. To be honest, although I’m also a Summoner, I don’t envy the life of my grandfather, father, and uncle at all. I really don’t like those days of scheming against each other. What I want the most is actually to be with you and live a normal life. We can earn our own living and go anywhere in the world we want to go. Then, I can watch you quietly draw, write about life, and sculpt every day. I will be satisfied if you use your brush to leave all the good things in your life and make them our memories for the rest of our lives. Before I met you, I was not proud of being a Summoner. Only after meeting you did I realize that the proudest thing about being a Summoner is that I can protect you when you need me and stay by your side. I don’t want to be rich and powerful. I just want to be your bodyguard and future husband, Yingluo!”
“I’ve never seen such a thick-skinned person. Who said I wanted to marry you?” Xia Ning’s face turned red and she wanted to pull her hand away, but she only gave it a few symbolic pulls and let the man hold her hand. She even gently leaned her head on the man’s shoulder.
The Child of Fortune sat on the chair between the two of them, somersaulting and smiling slyly. He had a full view of their every move. Naturally, Xia Pingan also ‘saw’ and ‘heard’ it.
Xia Pingan, who had just walked out of the boulevard, didn’t expect that Xia Ning already had a boyfriend when he returned.
As a brother, it was a complicated feeling to see his own sister with a boyfriend. Xia Pingan suddenly felt a little depressed and depressed-who was that kid? how dare he take Xia Ning away from him?
The school campus was very large. Xia Ning and the man were more than a kilometer away from Xia Pingan. Xia Pingan took a deep breath and strode towards Xia Ning and the man. At this moment, Xia Pingan had even temporarily forgotten the purpose of his return to Earth. At this moment, there was only one thought in Xia Pingan’s mind-the idea of being an older brother-where did that bastard pretty boy come from? How did he lie to Xia Ning? If he found out that the jerk had other motives for getting close to Xia Ning, or that he was cheating on Xia Ning’s feelings, he would crush that jerk’s pretty boy into pieces, no matter what his background was!
Bastard!
He actually dared to hug Xia Ning and even hold her hand. As her brother, he hadn’t even agreed!
Oh my God, he even kissed Xia Ning on the cheek?
Just you wait!
Xia Pingan looked calm on the outside, but in his heart, he was like an angry dragon that was about to go berserk.
