Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Jing Zhichen was very curious. He couldn’t wait to ask Li Qingcang about it.
Jing Zhichen knew that Li Qingcang was a very charming man. However, he did not expect that the women in the army would be so liberated.
She dared to shout “Captain Li, I like you!” in front of so many people.
Wasn’t she afraid that Li Qingcang might reject her advances? Was she out of her mind? It was embarrassing.
One had to know that Li Qingcang was a gentleman. However, he wasn’t as tender when it came to the opposite sex who would make their feelings known in front of so many people.
Jing Zhichen pitied the woman who had confessed to Li Qingcang.
…
…
The noisy crowd immediately turned silent when Yan Lili yelled, “Captain Li, I like you!”
Li Qingcang hung up the phone. A hint of coldness could be seen in his stern eyes.
The silence was deafening. Only the sound of the fire crackling could be heard.
The fire lit up Yan Lili’s face, highlighting her shy expression.
Had Yan Lili confessed to another man, the crowd would have cheered them both, perhaps encouraged and congratulated them.
However, Yan Lili confessed to the “devil of the army”. Thus, no one dared to tease them.
“Instructor Yan, I think you had too many drinks,” one of the officers remarked. “You two, kindly escort her out.”
Yan Lili’s heart twisted with pain.
This was Li Qingcang.
His rejection was so obvious.
“Captain Li, I am not drunk,” Yan Lili insisted. “I like you… I like you very much. You don’t have to accept my confession or do anything.”
Li Qingcang’s expression remained the same: stoic.
He did not like girls like Yan Lili. It was not that Yan Lili was not good, but they had grown up together. Even though they had parted for several years because their parents had been deployed to different places, Li Qingcang had seen Yan Lili grow up. He…he was not interested in her romantically. He only saw her as a family friend; someone familiar.
No matter how much Yan Lili had changed, Li Qingcang had never recovered from the traumatic experience of her crying as a child.
“Yan Lili, I’m sorry. Don’t waste your time on me. There are more deserving men than me.”
With that, Li Qingcang turned and left.
Yan Lili ran after him. She caught up with Li Qingcang in an empty spot.
“Did you reject me because of Ye Tianxin?”
Li Qingcang turned around fiercely. His expression was terrifying. Yan Lili saw a different side of Li Qingcang, a side that she hadn’t seen.
“Yan Lili, me rejecting you has nothing to do with anyone else!”
“That’s impossible. You must have rejected me because of…”
“Yan Lili, you’re a psychologist, aren’t you? You should know whether I like you or not. Why do you have to make things so awkward for everyone?”

Yan Lili covered her face. She was very sad. She liked him so much. But why did he refuse to give her any response at all?

Li Qingcang shook his head and then walked away. ‘Women… They’re really unpredictable. There’s no telling what they would do or say.’
Li Qingcang returned to his dormitory and took a shower. After that, he changed into a camo T-shirt and matching shorts. Then, he went to sit down at the balcony and look at the stars in the night sky.
Not many people lived there. There was no industrial pollution either.
At night, the sky looked as if someone had scattered stars in it. They were all over the sky.
He found his phone and switched it on. He looked at the photo of Ye Tianxin and couldn’t help but feel that Little Tianxin was still more adorable than anyone he knew.
