Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander-Chapter 597: Someone Has to Sacrifice and Shed Blood
Yan Qianyi confidently said, "Although I haven’t been to school for the past half-year, Chu Hua has been coming every week to tutor me in cultural studies, and I’ve also been reading and studying on my own, so there shouldn’t be any problems."
"That’s good," Mai Hunter nodded, relieved, "You really are one of my most esteemed students, but... have you really not considered switching departments? I remember you once said that your first choice was the Command Department. Although it will be hard for me to let you go, I can help you apply for the transfer."
"Why would I want to switch departments?"
"You’ve seen Shirley’s situation, serving in the Special Department is very tough and dangerous."
Yan Qianyi laughed, "Teacher, you don’t think that after seeing Shirley’s experiences, I became scared, do you?"
On the contrary, seeing everything that Shirley had been through made her want to come back and study even more urgently.
"Of course not, I know you’re brave, I’m just thinking of your best interests. After all, you are now a mother, with added responsibilities. And Lord Commander, he probably doesn’t want you to go to the front lines and take risks."
Yan Qianyi shook her head, "Teacher, you are mistaken, Ah Lie is very supportive of me. When I accidentally entered the Special Department and felt dismayed, it was Ah Lie’s words that made me see the Special Department in a new light and even sparked my interest. Also, it was Shirley who strengthened my resolve."
"You said that was in the beginning, but now, he might not want to let you go."
"Other girls can go to the front line, and as his wife, I can and should go undoubtedly. If I told Ah Lie now that serving in the Special Department is too dangerous and too strenuous, and I want to switch departments, do you think he would be happy? He does care for me deeply, but as the Commander, he should care not just for me alone. In our Special Department, there are many other girls who are precious daughters or sisters to someone and will become wives and mothers too."
"Alright," Mai Hunter gave up on persuading Yan Qianyi to switch departments, "Although I worry about you, I am proud of you for thinking this way."
"Teacher should feel proud of Shirley. By the way, what are her plans going forward? I heard from Ah Lie that the Military Department wants to transfer her to the Military Academy or a training base to teach."
"Yes, she agreed, but only temporarily. Once she is fully recovered, she wants to return to her original post."
"I knew it, she wouldn’t be content with just doing safe educational work behind the scenes. Even after walking through the gates of death, she still wants to return."
Mai Hunter smiled, "In that aspect, you two are quite alike, both have that fearless streak in your bones."
Yan Qianyi said, "Someone has to sacrifice themselves on the battlefield so that many more can live in peace."
"You make me feel ashamed with such words."
"Teacher, you are better suited for educating others, training more outstanding talents for the Empire is also a very important job!"
"Of course, the outstanding soldiers in the Special Department over these years have all been trained by me," Mai Hunter said proudly. "But I’ve decided, once Shirley is fully recovered, if she still insists on going back, I will apply to transfer to the Military Department. Anyway, I’ll be wherever she is, I want to stay by her side always."
Yan Qianyi asked, "But can you get transferred to the Military Department?"
"Of course, I do have a military rank. Back when Duke Nangong was the Commander, he thought highly of me. If I want to go to the Special Department now, they wouldn’t wait to welcome me."
"But how come I heard from Ah Lie that back then, the Military Department thought your personality wasn’t suitable, so they sent you to teach at the Federation Military Academy..."
"That...," Mai Hunter awkwardly grinned, "That was because I didn’t want to endure the hardships back then, so I gave the Military Department the impression that I was unsuitable. After all, being a teacher is much easier and safer."
Yan Qianyi shook her head resignedly, choosing to believe him for the moment. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Then Mai Hunter seriously said, "But now I am serious, as you said, someone has to sacrifice."
As they talked, they walked out of the faculty building.
Yan Chuhua and the others were waiting for Yan Qianyi at the front.
"Mai Hunter, I’ll go ahead then."
"Go ahead."
Before Yan Qianyi could walk over, her friends had already rushed up to meet her.
Yan Chuhua hurriedly asked, "Qianyi, how did it go? Was your application approved?"
Yan Qianyi playfully winked at Yan Chuhua, "Guess."
Yan Chuhua stomped her foot, "Oh, just tell me, I’m dying of curiosity."
Xue Xiaoguang said, "Chu Hua, my brother-in-law is the Commander after all, the principal would definitely agree. Moreover, even before my brother-in-law’s identity was revealed, he had already granted permission."
"Just stop; I want to hear it from Qianyi!"
Yan Chuhua wasn’t reassured without hearing Yan Qianyi’s personal confirmation.
Yan Qianyi nodded, "The principal agreed. In a few days, I’ll be back to join you all for the final assessments."
"Wow! That’s great, that’s great!" Yan Chuhua jumped excitedly and hugged Yan Qianyi tightly, "Next semester you can finally return to school, I’ve missed you so much."
Xue Xiaoguang said, "Let’s go have a meal tonight, I’ll treat."
Yan Chuhua said, "You don’t have any money, forget it, I’ll treat."
Xue Xiaoguang said, "I do have money, I work at my sister’s company every vacation, I’ve saved quite a bit. I can definitely afford to treat you all tonight."
Yun Mu, however, said, "But Qianyi has missed a lot of lessons, the assessment is in five days, it’s better to spend some time reviewing now."
Xue Xiaoguang scratched his head, suddenly a bit dejected, "Oh right..."
"It’s okay, Qianyi is smart, just a few hours tonight won’t interfere," Yan Chuhua said. "I’ll send Ziyu a voice message and call him out too, we absolutely need to have fun tonight, it’s been too long since we’ve all played together."
Yun Mu frowned and whispered, "Chu Hua, don’t be stubborn, Ruirui is still at home waiting for Qianyi."
Yan Chuhua immediately quieted down, especially obedient to Yun Mu’s words, "Well, alright then..."
Seeing this, Xue Xiaoguang was displeased and said, "If Chu Hua wants to have fun, let her have fun. It’s not a big deal, right, sister?"
Yan Qianyi said, "Let’s go, I’ll join you tonight. I’ll just send a voice message to Ah Lie to let him know."
"This was Qianyi’s own decision; I didn’t ask for it," Yan Chuhua said this for Yun Mu to hear.
Yun Mu rubbed her head, "Alright, let’s go."
Once they reached the parking lot, Yan Qianyi told her friends to get in the car first while she stepped aside to send a voice message to Mu Yunlie.
Once the voice connected, it was quiet on his end, she asked, "Ah Lie, are you busy?"
"I’m in a meeting."
"I’ll hang up then and we can talk after your meeting."
"It’s fine, go ahead."
For Mu Yunlie, unless he was dealing with a life and death crisis, nothing was more important than receiving a voice message from his wife.
