Chapter 453: Chapter 319 So Many Whys (Second update)_1

Her mouth was slightly raised, for some reason, Ya Yan suddenly felt like she couldn’t control her own mouth, that curved arc, she couldn’t hide it back. What to do?

"Yanyan?" Yan Zilei said, how many times is this girl going to space out today?

He held her once, when he kissed her once, and now when he confessed his love, she even spaced out once again.

"Yanyan, if you keep zoning out, I don’t mind, to keep awakening you with my kisses." A kiss for every time she spaces out, for him, that was an incredibly nice perk.

The sound, half laugh, half serious, reached Ya Yan’s ears. Hearing the word ’kiss’, Ya Yan immediately snapped back to attention, her gaze at Yan Zilei was adorably silly.

Kiss.

What had her brother just said to her? Did she reply to something?

"Yanyan, do you dislike me kissing you?" Yan Zilei asked again, looking down at her, his focused gaze filled with helplessness and affection.

This time, she didn’t space out, she just froze for a while before shaking her head.

She didn’t dislike it at all; she didn’t dare to say if he would laugh at her if she admitted she liked it.

Ya Yan looked at Yan Zilei, puzzled, "Why?" As if asking Yan Zilei, but also as if questioning herself.

What happened to her brother today? Why did he suddenly confess to her? Also, why didn’t she dislike it at all and why was she so happy? Why...

So many whys, Ya Yan couldn’t figure it out.

At that moment, Ya Yan suddenly thought of Mu Lin, she wanted to find him, she wanted to ask, why?

Suddenly, a sentence Mu Lin had once said to her floated up in her mind, causing Ya Yan’s body to tremble violently.

Mu Lin had said that she and her brother, had no blood relationship, as long as she thought of this, she could understand the meaning of what he had said that day.

She didn’t understand the meaning of Mu Lin’s words at the time, but now, she seemed to understand.

So, the reason she was angry that day wasn’t because she disliked that woman, but because she was jealous.

She was jealous of her brother! She didn’t want a woman to appear next to her brother like that.

So that’s why, even if it was someone as excellent as Mu Lin, she didn’t want such a person to become her sister-in-law, simply because, her brother, could only belong to her.

Today’s information was really quite heavy, making Ya Yan’s brain tied up in knots and she was finding it hard to untangle it all.

"What why?" Yan Zilei saw Ya Yan about to zone out again, and stole also another kiss, causing Ya Yan to tremble violently again.

How could he sneak up on her again.

Ya Yan glanced at Yan Zilei with annoyance. She had no idea how shy and enticing her expression was at the moment.

Yet, Yan Zilei managed to resist it all.

That’s right, he had been restraining himself for over twenty years, what’s another moment’s restraint?

Ya Yan looked up at Yan Zilei, "Why do you love me?" She didn’t understand, she had always thought they were just siblings, she had never thought of such a problem before, everything felt so natural, like it was a habit.

Habit becomes second nature.

Hearing such a question, Yan Zilei chuckled lightly, his thumb lightly brushed Ya Yan’s lips, "Yanyan, do you need a reason to love you?" Loving her was a given, from that initial ignorant feeling, through over twenty years of time, it has already fermented into the deepest love.

All of a sudden, Ya Yan laughed.

She thought this sentence was really beautiful and instantly answered all the doubts in her heart.

Yes, what other reasons could there be? When you love, you just love, there couldn’t be any other reason! Although she didn’t know why she had become like this, Ya Yan was completely sure that the reason she got angry time and time again recently, was simply because she was jealous.

She had never thought that one day she would fall in love with her brother who had brought her up and was the best in the world.

But that’s a good thing, isn’t it?

She looks forward to a love like Mu Lin and Jing Chen’s, but she didn’t realize that she already had it, she just didn’t know it.

If that person is Yan Zilei, Ya Yan believes that she would definitely be the happiest person.

Because all along, her brother, has been protecting her like this!

Yanyan!

Yan Zilei was somewhat startled, he thought it would take a long time for his Yanyan to accept himself. He thought she needed to think carefully, to finally accept her feelings for him. But unexpectedly, happiness came so quickly.

It was clearly he who confessed his love first, who took the initiative first, but at this moment, he was the one who was taken aback.

Probably, no matter how smart Yan Zilei is, he would never have thought that there would be such a moment.

The light bite on his lips brought Yan Zilei back to his senses, he looked down at Ya Yan, who was closing her eyes, not knowing what she was doing, Yan Zilei couldn’t help but smile.

The low laughter traveled from his throat and reached Ya Yan’s ears, Ya Yan opened her eyes and her big eyes were staring at Yan Zilei.

"What are you laughing at!" Ya Yan knew clearly Yan Zilei was laughing at her, she pouted, was it not okay for her to not know how to kiss? At the very worst, she would find someone to practice with before coming back to kiss him.

Probably, if she did that Yan Zilei would kill the person who kissed her.

Anyone who dares to mess with him must be tired of living.

Gazing at the young man’s petulant expression, Yan Zilei shook his head and chuckled softly.

The little white rabbit quickly backed down.

Mu Lin was indeed the greatest lucky star contributing to his good fortune with Yanyan.

It was a pity that Mu Lin, who had been their lucky star last night, wasn’t so happy today.

The biggest problem between Ya Yan and Yan Zilei had been resolved, but there was no telling when Mu Lin’s biggest problem would be solved.

Looking at the empty bed next to her, she felt as if those big hands would always remember to hug her tight, no matter where or when.

Mu Lin smiled faintly.

Indeed, habit was a horrific thing, something from which even she couldn’t escape.

Jing Chen had just left, but Mu Lin realized that she seemed to miss him already.

...

The military exercise—a real-world battle scenario—had lasted for ten days. This grand event that lasted for over ten days finally concluded amidst a round of cheers following a loud explosion and countless gunshots.

The weather was sunny and clear that day, as if it was celebrating the victors.

The soldiers, resembling triumphant cats, leaped around, sharing their joy.

The Red Army had won!

The commander of the Blue Army stepped down from the battle truck, and looking at the excited Red Army soldiers around him, he laughed.

Despite the loss, seeing these exceptional young faces, he felt gratified.

Youths are the future of our country. Not bad at all.

The commander of the Blue Army hadn’t expected to lose to these youngsters.

First, his decoy base had been destroyed, with everyone in it wiped out; this time, they lured him out using themselves as bait.

He laughed. These youths weren’t afraid to die, were tough, and clever. He liked them.

Just then, the commander of the Red Army approached from not far away, vigorously shook hands with the commander of the Blue Army, and burst into laughter the next moment.

"How do you feel; do you accept the defeat?" The commander of the Red Army looked at him, a triumphant smile on his face.

This time, he had finally won.

The commander of the Blue Army gave him a disdainful glance, "Let me tell you, I lost to these young lads, and it has nothing to do with you." This is some commander!

He hadn’t thought of being tricked by these youngsters if it wasn’t for his desire to tease them. It was indeed a bit embarrassing.

Nevertheless, there was no point in thinking about it now.

However, hearing what the Blue Army’s commander said, the commander of the Red Army laughed even louder, "Let me tell you, losing to them is more humiliating than losing to me. After all, these lads have just recently been recruited."

"A commander losing to a bunch of rookies." If word gets out, it would indeed be a disgrace, and he would probably be the butt of jokes for a few years.

However, the other party gave a cold snort, "And here I thought you were better than me; you’re no better than these rookies."

"What a commander."

The commander of the Red Army was now laughing because of his irritation.

This old guy always refuses to admit defeat in front of him! He didn’t care about it because he won the exercise this time.

Watching the two commanders bickering, Jing Youlan and the others looked at each other and laughed speechlessly.

They were grown-ups and yet still so childish.

But then...

A refreshing smile appeared on the faces of everyone in the team.

They had won!

Though they had fought a bitter battle, risking their lives, they had won. The process didn’t matter; their main concern was the outcome.

Indeed, it was right to fight it out.

When you refuse to do something, you would never know the outcome because guessing is useless. But when you act without hesitation, you might sometimes achieve an unexpected result, even if your chances were slim.

Imagination and reality are never the same. This time, they tried, and the results surpassed their expectations!

That’s more than enough.

The eleven of them huddled together, their faces beaming with the world’s brightest smiles.
