Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don’t Mess Around!

2780 Teaching Her Child In Front Of The Hall
Xia Jinyuan, whose eyes were slightly dark, looked at the stars that were already twinkling in the sky. They were so bright that they were like the eyes of the person in his arms. “There’s no need to give Demon King Li any reminders later. He’s the captain of the Storm Commando team, and I’m the captain of the Xueyu unit. We all have our sovereignty. There’s no need to take a step back because of each other’s existence.

“I realized that Demon King Li… cares a lot about kinship. He even lost control when you were punished. It’s not a big problem, but it’s inappropriate. We have to make a distinction between these things.

“His heart ached when I punished you. I told him that the reason we could remain together today was because of my cruelty and your persistence. He only reacted after I said it.

“If you weren’t the one being punished today but another comrade, with Demon King Li’s calmness, he definitely wouldn’t have lost his composure.

“Talk to him. You’re his cousin, so he’ll listen to you more than me. If I talk to him about him being angry over my punishment for you, it’ll be a bit like I’m shirking responsibility.”

As Little Fox was punished to stand until she fainted, Demon King Li already had a slightly negative opinion of him. It was really not appropriate to bring it up with him again. It was a little like he was finding an excuse for himself.

Ye Jian nodded. “Alright, I’ll talk to my cousin. He’s not a petty person. He won’t have any objections to you after I explain it to him.

“As for you saying that he values kinship very much, that’s because…” Ye Jian, who was leaning on him, paused for a moment. After a moment of silence, she said softly, “Because my cousin’s family isn’t peaceful either.”

Otherwise, why were her cousin and grandfather the closest relatives?

Although her cousin had many relatives with the surname Li, they were all heartless. Back then, Aunt married into the Li family because she liked Uncle.
Her cousin was like her and had not received any kinship, so he valued kinship very much.

The Li family was also a big family in Imperial City and was a warlord. Xia Jinyuan more or less knew a little about the Li family’s past. Hearing this, his eyes darkened as he nodded and said to Ye Jian earnestly, “Little Fox, interact more with your family when you go back. Tell them more about yourself. Don’t let your family know nothing about your past.

“The Fu family didn’t know anything about your existence before this. Now that you’re back, you haven’t mentioned anything about the past to them. I know you have good intentions. You don’t want your family to be sad because of your past.

“But you’re wrong. Little Fox, they all want to know what you’ve experienced in your past. They want to understand you and get close to you. They want to treat you very well and make up for all the kinship you didn’t have in the past. Little Fox, think about it from another perspective. Don’t you think that your ‘kind’ intentions will come across as a little cold?”

The dark sky was very suitable for talking about topics that were hard to address. The darkness of the night could hide everyone’s expressions. It could make people who were seen through feel a trace of security. At the same time, it could also make them lower their guard and communicate more easily.

Xia Jinyuan had put things into a different perspective, and her expression became a little serious.

“How could I be cold? I’m just afraid that they’ll worry.” She sighed softly but had to admit that Xia Jinyuan’s words made sense. “I’m afraid that they’ll worry too much about me, and I’m also afraid that they’ll know about my past and feel depressed.”
