Chapter 1722: Chapter 1130: Persuasion

Two o’clock.

After thinking it over, Chuxia realized that what Zhao Bingbing said makes sense. Zhao Bingbing’s face scrunched up: "Don’t mind me speaking pessimistically, but I feel that by the time you’ve managed to convince the elders, the opportunity will have passed."

"Then I won’t go..." Chuxia looked at Zhao Bingbing seriously, "To me, every family member is important. I can’t ignore them for some baseless suspicions.

Of course, wanting to join the mission isn’t entirely for personal reasons, but I must honestly tell you that these personal reasons dominate my decision, so I must think carefully. Once you get married, I think you’ll understand my concerns."

"I probably can understand, I’m just anxious for you..." Zhao Bingbing sighed and smiled wryly, "Or maybe I know too well the pain of loss, which is why I’m like this."

Chuxia looked at her and asked, "Still in pain now?"

"Occasionally."

"That’s dangerous for you..." Chuxia reached out and patted her shoulder, "You need to adjust yourself well. Even though you mentioned Lang Yi approaching you again won’t lead to a reconciliation, forgive my skepticism, with your current mindset, there’s no telling if you’ll change your mind."

"I know I haven’t fully moved on from him, but I’m clear that it’s impossible for us to be together. Even if I lose control, my family won’t let me.

You see, my grandmother dotes on me and is very affectionate, but when it comes to principled matters like this, she won’t be lenient. My parents will also do everything to stop me.

So..." Zhao Bingbing smiled sheepishly, "I’m really not worried about being deceived by him again. I care deeply about my family, and I rationally understand things now, so when the time comes, I won’t be reckless."

Chuxia looked at her speechlessly, realizing her confidence is rooted in her family’s persuasion. In other words, she’s well aware that if Lang Yi turns back, she will definitely reconsider...

Regarding Zhao Bingbing’s logic, Chuxia felt at a loss for words and gradually understood her insistence on going to the front line was mostly about competing with Zhao Weiwei.

But does this kind of competition have any meaning?

At least for the moment, meaningful or not, Zhao Bingbing will persist. Only when she meets someone who genuinely appreciates her might she clearly understand what she truly needs?

"You can’t tell anyone about my thoughts..." Zhao Bingbing blushed and pleaded with Chuxia, "If others find out how I think, who knows what they’ll think of me."

"I’m no fool, do you really need to remind me about such things?" Chuxia pushed her in exasperation, "You’ve really defeated me; do you trust me or not?"

"Hehe..." Zhao Bingbing smiled awkwardly, "Of course I trust you, I’m just afraid you might inadvertently spill the beans, so... hehe..."

"How could you accidentally spill the beans about such things?" Chuxia glared at her and asked, "By the way, have the elders all agreed to you going to the front line?"

"My mom and grandparents agreed, but my dad and brother didn’t..." Zhao Bingbing shrugged helplessly, "There’s no way around it, my dad and brother have always been stricter with me. They say with my current skills, I’d only be a burden and should stay safely in school.

Actually, they’re mainly worried about my safety. Those two are all talk, with hearts soft as tofu. They think I don’t know their thoughts, but honestly, I know them better than they know themselves."

"Your brother is also in the military?" Chuxia asked.

"Yes, both my dad and brother are in the military. How else can they be so rigid?" Zhao Bingbing glanced around, noticing everyone had their chat partners and nobody was paying attention to them, so she whispered, "They always preach awareness to others, but when it comes to themselves, why is their awareness so low? Hmph..."

Chuxia: "..." The saying ’good intentions being taken as bad’ might be fitting here. Despite not growing up in this environment, in her understanding, those who genuinely don’t care about their children’s well-being and are solely selfless aren’t as common as portrayed in movies and TV.

Being human, it’s hard to avoid some selfishness. If it’s necessary, most wouldn’t stop their children from serving the country. But if having one more or one less becomes inconsequential, or even poses a burden, then stopping them is truly essential.
