Love You for the Rest of My Life-Chapter 1854 - 1853: A True Man

"My family has Di Mingzhe as its head. If you dare, go ahead." Di Mingchen said with a faint smile.

Nangong Jin clutched his chest, wondering why Di Mingzhe always gets dragged into things unexpectedly. He pleaded mentally for Di Mingzhe’s peace of mind.

"If you wanted to push me, why didn’t you say so earlier?" Nangong Jin pouted, "If you’d said so earlier, maybe I’d already be yours in both heart and body!"

Di Mingchen shivered instantly; heart and body, seriously!!

"How about, we start something now?" Nangong Jin leaned in with a cheeky grin.

"Let’s not." Di Mingchen gave him a sidelong glance, "After all, you’re my brother-in-law, and I won’t compete with my sister for a man."

Nangong Jin: "...."

"Alright, let’s stop joking around." Nangong Jin’s face turned serious as he looked at him, "Stop dilly-dallying, be a man and say something. If you agree, then take her; if not, forget it.

Why are you military guys always hemming and hawing like this? Anyway, I’m advising you to think it over. After all, someone doesn’t want someone; you know that Alvin might not be any worse than you."

Hearing this, Di Mingchen’s eyebrows knitted together.

"So, what do you say?" Nangong Jin stared at him, "It’s just a matter of saying one word. If you like her, pursue her and win her over, just like the third master. If you don’t like her, then pretend I didn’t say anything."

Di Mingchen’s eyes darkened. Was Nangong Jin really forcing him to make a decision?

Hadn’t he already made a decision last night?

So why was it so hard to just say it?

Why is it so hard?

Wouldn’t it be a regret to see beautiful mountains and rivers without you?

After a long silence, Nangong Jin suddenly said, "Your silence shows you’re hesitating. What are you hesitating about?"

"Xiaojin." Di Mingchen suddenly looked up at Nangong Jin, his expression serious but calm, "I’m very busy every day. I have to train their physical fitness, and develop strategies and tactics. I spend most of the time at the camp, and I’m usually not free.

You might think it’s an exaggeration, but for a soldier, a thousand days of preparation is needed for any moment. Matters in the military cannot afford any slack. I really haven’t thought about having a girlfriend or even getting married.

Because I believe I’m too busy. If I can’t spend time with my family, I can’t be a qualified husband. Perhaps when my lover is sick and a national disaster strikes, I have to lead the soldiers to the frontline.

Even if I’m not on the frontline, I’ll have to direct, and there are so many things to handle that I won’t bother explaining. So... Nangong Ran and I are friends, and I can spoil her unconditionally.

I ask for nothing in return; the only thing I can’t give her is responsibility. Being a military spouse is not easy; it requires a strong heart to endure the hardships.

Being with me might not be glorious; it’s filled with fear, waiting alone. Our lives belong to the nation, not ourselves. In times of national crisis, we’re expected to die on the frontline if needed.

So I’m afraid she’ll suffer by being with me. I’d rather she be carefree like Gu Qibao and the others, being pampered by the ones they love. But I..."

"After all that talk, is this what you’re hesitating about?" Nangong Jin raised his eyebrow, "So you like her, right?"

"We’re friends."

"You can give everything except responsibility, right?" Nangong Jin frowned.

"Yes!" Di Mingchen nodded firmly, answering with strength and determination.

Nangong Jin suddenly laughed, slapping him on the shoulder, "You truly are a real man. I didn’t misjudge you! True responsibility!"
