Jian Qing chuckled lightly, “How come you’re back all of a sudden?”
“There’s not much happening in the troops recently, plus I heard that Chu Ruohan is getting married, our family even received the invitation, so I came back to enjoy the show.” Zhan Mingyan stirred her coffee with a spoon, saying with a beaming smile.
The fact that Chu Ruohan liked Quan Jingwu was no secret in Beijing. She was however rather curious why Chu Ruohan had suddenly decided to marry someone else. Given her tenacious nature, shouldn’t she have insisted on marrying Quan Jingwu?
“Do you have a grudge against Chu Ruohan?” Jian Qing asked casually, seeing the smug smile on her face.
“No, I just simply find her and Song Xirou annoying.” Zhan Mingyan stated bluntly.
Both of them were pretentious, but compared to each other, Song Xirou was even more irritating.
“Jian Qing, will you attend Chu Ruohan’s wedding?”
Jian Qing nodded, “Of course, I have a great wedding gift to give her.”
“Is there an interesting story behind it?” Zhan Mingyan blinked her eyes and looked attentively at Jian Qing with sparkling curiosity asked.
“What kind of gift?”
“It’s a secret, you’ll find out on the wedding day.” Jian Qing said.
Zhan Mingyan pouted, “You’re not fun at all.”
Isn’t such behavior of stimulating one’s curiosity but not satisfying it wrong?
Jian Qing curled her lips, her eyes brimming with a touch of mischief, “You didn’t invite me out just for afternoon tea, did you?”
The smile on Zhan Mingyan’s face froze, she quickly said, “What are you talking about? You’re overthinking.”
“Is that so?” Jian Qing stroked her chin, her eyes twinkling with teasing mischief.
Faced with her penetrating gaze, Zhan Mingyan eventually conceded defeat.
She lowered her head and said softly, “Jian Qing, I want to quit being a military doctor.”
“Why?” Jian Qing asked calmly.
Zhan Mingyan lifted her head to look at her, seeing no surprise on her face, she couldn’t help but feel curious.
“Why aren’t you surprised at all?”
Jian Qing raised an eyebrow, “Why should I be? You made this decision for your own reasons.”
At her words, Zhan Mingyan laughed, “Jian Qing, I suddenly realized that you are the one who understands me the most.”
There were things that even her family couldn’t understand if she told them. But in front of Jian Qing, she felt at ease.
“So, can you tell me now why you don’t want to be a military doctor anymore?” Jian Qing asked.
She could see that she loved her job as a military doctor, so why would she suddenly choose to give it up?
Zhan Mingyan let her gaze drop slightly, concealing the abnormal flicker in her eyes.
“I just suddenly want a change in life.”
“Mingyan, your lying skills really need to be improved.” Jian Qing said indifferently.
“Jian Qing, you…” Zhan Mingyan immediately lifted her head, looking at her in surprise.
“Let me guess, is it because of a certain someone?” Jian Qing propped her chin, a playful smile in her eyes.
“Of course not.” Zhan Mingyan immediately denied, but her reaction only made Jian Qing surer of her suspicion.
After denying, Zhan Mingyan noticed her own agitation, she laughed awkwardly, “Well, I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
The more she explained, the more she messed up.
Jian Qing laughed lightly, “If you don’t understand, why are you responding so vigorously, I didn’t even mention anyone’s name.”
“Jian Qing, stop making fun of me.” Zhan Mingyan conceded with a wry smile.
“Did I?” Jian Qing innocently smiled.
Zhan Mingyan, “…”
Of all the roads she had taken in her life, Jian Qing’s manipulations were the deepest.

“If you won’t be a military doctor anymore, what do you plan to do next?” Instead of pressing further, Jian Qing diverted the topic.
She shook her head, “I haven’t thought about it yet. I haven’t talked about not being a military doctor with my family.”
Her grandfather might have a blood pressure spike if he hears about this.
Jian Qing sipped her lips and remained silent.
In the end, Zhan Mingyan couldn’t help but ask her most pressing question.
“Jian Qing, that, that…”
“What this and that?” Jian Qing feigned confusion, a faint smirk playing at the corners of her mouth. “What do you want to say?”
Zhan Mingyan blushed, a few points shy. “The Peacock Man, he…”
Seeing her beating around the bush, Jian Qing couldn’t help but laugh.
“Ah,” she said, realizing. “You mean Bai Jue?”
Zhan Mingyan nodded almost imperceptibly. “How has he been lately?”
“He can eat and sleep.” Jian Qing teased.
Zhan Mingyan stared at her. That wasn’t what she meant.
“That’s not what I meant.”
“What do you want to know?” Jian Qing asked with a grin.
“Mingyan, didn’t you used to hate Bai Jue? Why are you asking about him all of a sudden?”
Zhan Mingyan cleared her throat and avoided eye contact, “Just bored and asking casually.”
“I don’t think so.” Jian Qing teased. “Mingyan, are you maybe falling for Bai Jue?”
This time, Zhan Mingyan didn’t immediately deny it like she did on Solak Island.
She exhibited signs of embarrassment as she fidgeted with her hands.
“No response is an admission?” Jian Qing suggested.
Zhan Mingyan stayed silent, but after a while, she gathered the courage to meet Jian Qing’s gaze.
“Alright, I admit, I have a bit of a crush on him.”
The crush she had for Bai Jue was completely different from the admiration she had for Quan Jingwu in the past. When Bai Jue got closer to her, her heart would race, she would get annoyed, blush and feel shy – feelings she never experienced before.
Ever since she left Solak Island, she would occasionally recall arguing with Bai Jue, and oddly enough, she missed it. She wished to see him again.
Zhan Mingyan being fond of someone, she wouldn’t hide it. If she liked someone, she would be forthright about it, because there’s nothing wrong with that.
“Finally, you admit it.” Jian Qing remarked.
“Jian Qing, there’s something I want to ask you, what does Bai Jue do for a living?” Zhan Mingyan queried.
Jian Qing smirked, “You wouldn’t happen to be inquiring about his profession so that you can give up your military doctor identity to be with him?”
“Why not? Women can pursue men too.” Zhan Mingyan declared confidently.
Jian Qing suddenly found this side of Zhan Mingyan particularly endearing. “Mingyan, I’m afraid you’re going to be disappointed. Bai Jue doesn’t have a steady job.”
“What?” Zhan Mingyan paused.
“What does he do then? Is he self-employed?”
“You could say that,” Jian Qing responded.
“What can I do to get closer to him?” Zhan Mingyan asked, dejectedly, her hands supporting her chin. “Jian Qing, is Bai Jue of the same nationality as you, from M Country?”
“Yes, but he roams around the world. Even if you go to M Country, you may not be able to find him, ” Jian Qing replied softly.
Upon hearing this, Zhan Mingyan felt her distance from Bai Jue was farther than she thought.
“Jian Qing, am I far off from Bai Jue? Do I not have any chances with him?” She asked gloomily.
Jian Qing ruffled her hair, “Do you want the truth?”
“Yes.” She nodded.
“Bai Jue is like a gust of wind. He’s free and unrestrained. You should have figured this out from having known him for a few days. We grew up together. We are family and life-and-death friends. The environment you and Bai Jue were brought up in are completely different. Whether there’s a chance between you two depends on you and Bai Jue, not me. Love is elusive. When you try to grasp it, it could be happiness, or it could be a thorny path,” she said slowly.
