Arc 1.11 : The Feeling of Being Moved

—

After Ye You walked out of the hall, he told the Deputy Leader who was waiting outside that he was a little uncomfortable, and then got into the car and took a rest.

Ye You’s heart become a bit chaotic.
This was a feeling he has never had before.
Du Yao’s eyes were like bottomless lake.
When Ye You looked at him, inexplicably there was a feeling of sinking into the lake.
Moreover, Du Yao’s voice was deep and magnetic, especially when he deliberately lowered his voice and spoke with breathy tone, Ye You felt he had shivered at the time.

Ye You had lived for twenty-three years in his original world.
Although he has never liked men or women, he still has some common sense.
Even if he was not likely to admit it, but he knew in addition to being a little angry with Du Yao, he also had a similar feeling of emotionally affected.
Ye You didn’t know if this was the so-called love at first sight among other populations.
Although this was not the first time he met Du Yao, it was the first time he had spoken and communicated with him.

After returning to the dormitory, Ji Wen talked to Ye You about the officers who had a blind date with him today, and then said, “I find it very interesting.
Such opportunities are not always available.
If we meet those officers, usually what we do is to salute and say hello, how can we dare to ask them questions like this today, you can even be picky and choosy towards them in your heart.”

After Ye You lay down on the bed, because he was upset and had no energy, he did not respond to Ji Wen’s words.

Ji Wen looked at Ye You’s disprited face and asked with concern, “Are you sick? Is it a cold? I’ll help you get some medicine in the infirmary.”

“No, I’m just a little tired.” Ye You was silent for a while, and then asked “Can I ask you a question? Have you ever liked someone?”

Actually I’m a bit confused too bcoz it seem there got some text that disappear in between.

“How many people did you have a blind date with today?” Ji Wen asked.

“One.” Ye You said.

“Only one?” Ji Wen said a little unexpectedly, “So many officers, you actually dated only one? I heard someone dated a dozen or so.
I deliberately delayed the time slowly, and even dated five or six.
How could there be only one blind date? Is it affected by the reason of the last incident?” Ji Wen originally thought that Ye You would definitely have the largest number of blind dates, because of his looks and temperament, he was also one of the best in the Cultural Regiment, especially after the last big performance, his fame and popularity have improved a lot.

“After I dated one, I went back to the car and rested.” Ye You said.

“What’s the name of the person who dated you? What do you think of it?” Ji Wen asked.

“His name is Du Yao …”

“Du Yao?! Isn’t that the youngest Lieutenant Colonel Du Yao?”

“It’s him, you know him?”

“I don’t know, but I have heard some legends about him.”

“What legend?” Ye You thought, this man actually has a legend.

“It is said that Du Yao is the best at using the few to defeat the many2Raw 以少胜多(yǐ shǎo shèng duō); idioms; to win from a position of weakness. in battle.
He once led a small unit and wiped out the strength of the enemy’s two squadrons.
Since then he had become famous and won many battle.
He has never lost a battle.
And he was on the list of officers that the enemy doesn’t want to meet the most.”

“So powerful?” Du Yao’s smiling face appeared in Ye You’s mind, as well as his gentle eyes when he looked at him.
Ye You can feel that Du Yao was a very powerful person.
On the battlefield, he must be decisive, but Ye You has to admit that he was very attractive when he was gentle.

“These are only a small part of the general content.
How the real fighting process look like is confidential.
But it is enough of a legendary that he was a lieutenant colonel in his twenties.”

As they were talking, Ji Wen slowly fell asleep, but Ye You couldn’t sleep anymore.
He kept thinking about what Du Yao said to him, thinking about how Du Yao looked at him with gentle eyes.
Du Yao said that his voice was very nice, but in fact his own voice was very low and nice to listen, this had stayed in his mind and could not be disperse.

In the next few days, Deputy Leader will arranged for a second date for those who had good feeling for each other.
After the second blind date, it was up to them to decide whether or not to continue to interact with each other.

Those who went on a blind date that day were individually called into the office of the Deputy Leader.
When it was Ye You’s turn, the Deputy Leader handed him a stack of paper and said, “Even though you left early that night, but the number of people that wanted to have a second blind date with you is the largest, there are a total of thirty.
Take a look at who you want to meet for the second time.”

Ye You took a look at the pile of papers and looked at them one by one.
He could not understand his mood at the moment, as if he was expecting something.
But when he finished the first time and did not see Du Yao’s name, he immediately felt very angry.

“Sorry Deputy Leader, there is no one I want to meet for the second time here.” Ye You put the stacks of paper back on the Deputy Leader’s desk.

“Are you sure? There are several more suitable for your age here, and their future development, as well as family background, are very worthy of consideration.” The Deputy Leader was not very straightforward, but already very hard at suggesting to Ye You that if all the good ones are chosen, he will probably regret it later.

“I just think I am still young and still a recruit, so I want to devote more of my thoughts to improving myself.
I want to wait until I become good enough before think about my future lifelong events.”

“Are you still think of a certain someone?”

“Leader, last time is because Ye Chen and me are cousins, so I helped him take the blame.
I really don’t like Du Hao, I don’t have any ideas about him.”

“Okay, since this is your thoughts, then we respect your decision.
However, I think you can still take advantage of these few days and think again.
If you change your mind, you can still come to me.”

“Thank you for your trouble, Deputy Leader.”

After returning to the dormitory, Ye You felt more and more angry, because what Du Yao said to him has been repeated in his mind.
He wanted to meet Du Yao again and make it clear to him that he was definitely not the kind of person who deliberately did not choose to marry a soldier for his own peace of mind, but he would also not specifically choose to marry an officer for some purpose.
If one day he decides to marry, then the only reason must be he fell in love with the other party, regardless of whether the other party was a soldier.

But that bastard3Lit.
what it means , who said so many good things, did not choose to meet him for the second time.
Was he(DY) deliberately playing with him(YY)? If this was the case, he will definitely let him know the consequences of deliberately playing him!

Ye You secretly decided that if he sees Du Yao next time, he will definitely make it clear to him.

Then a month passed like that, Ye You didn’t have any chance to see Du Yao, and of course Du Yao didn’t take the initiative to see him.
Ye You learned from Ji Wen, who has various sources of information, that Du Yao’s army was undergoing adaptation.

After calming down for a while, Ye You returned to a calm state.
He felt that he did not need to compete with Du Yao.
What Du Yao thought was his own business, why should he care so much.
Whether he will see Du Yao in the future or not, he will maintained a calm heart, even if Du Yao appeared again in front of him, no matter what he says, he will not be affected by him.
Although that bastard look so handsome, his eyes were like hooks, and his words will disturb his mind, but he doesn’t care at all!

After they finished practice and returning to the dormitory, the three of them were idle and took out their books to read.
If one wanted to get a higher promotion, one’s education also very important.
There were recruits every year, which means that every year someone must leave, and the laws and rules of elimination exist in any world.

Suddenly heard the knock sound on the door, the three of them turned to look at the door at the same time.
Ye Chen had already pushed the door open, standing at the door and watching Ye You, he whispered, “I want to talk to you, can I?”

“What’s there to talk about?” Ji Wen looked at Ye You and whispered, hinting at him not to go.

Ye You thought for a moment, then got up and walked out, and said to Ye Chen, “Let’s go.”

Ji Wen looked at the back of the two people leaving and shook his head helplessly.

The two walked to the corner of the small garden behind the dormitory.
Ye You looked at Ye Chen and asked, “What do you want to say?”

“Are you still angry because of the previous thing? I’m really sorry.” Ye Chen did have an apology in his heart, but he didn’t regret making Ye You feel bad, if start over again, he will still choose to do this, but he will do it more perfectly, so that he will not be involved.

“‘I’m sorry’ these three words came out of your mouth, there is no value or meaning at all, you are not tired, but I am already tired of listening.
How about this, no matter what bad things you do to me in the future, don’t apologize anymore, because even if you say it ten thousand times, even if your mouth is broken, I will not choose to forgive you because of your apology, so you should not say it at all.”

Ye Chen bowed his head and become silent.
He originally thought that Ye You liked Du Hao, this thing, which was of great value to use.
Although he was a little sorry for using Ye You, but he also had a feeling that this was as what it should be.
Previously, he always thought that Ye You himself was willing to be used, so you can’t blame him completely.
But now that Ye You doesn’t want him(YC) to take advantage of him(YY), suddenly he doesn’t know what to do.

Ye You looked at his eyes and could guess what he was thinking in his heart.
“If you have nothing to say, I’m going.”

“Wait!” Ye Chen stopped Ye You again and said, “My mother and I have helped you plead with grandpa.
Grandpa agreed to let you go back.
We will go back together next time on vacation.
“

“Help me plead?” Ye You said with a mocking smile.
“It’s really nice to listen, you haven’t received the living expenses this month from my parents, so you are worried? You got less such income, did the family’s expenses had to be reduced? Because already used to spending other people’s money, and then have to spending your own money, you will definitely feel distressed.
If I remember correctly, your parents let people bring a lot of things from abroad last time.
Are you waiting to use the living expenses from my parent?”

“… You can’t say it like that, my parents did use some of your family’s money, but they haven’t treated you badly, right? And when people have been together for a long time, there must be feelings, and we sincerely hope that you can come back and live with us.
It’s true, believe me, I really want you to come back.
The two of us can be a companion.
And second, if you come home to live, it will benefit yourself.
When you’re in the Cultural Regiment, others members will attached important to you because you live in military area, the leaders will also take care of you because of grandpa’s reputation.
No matter what my parents think, but I really think about your well being, so I hope you can go back and live us.”

“These words, you can convince yourself to believe, you can also convince others to believe, but you can never convince me to believe.” Ye You looked at him with puzzled eyes and asked, “Are you deliberately pretending to be kind? Or do you even deceive yourself and really feel like a very kind person? Maybe both?”

“I …, I admit that I am not a perfect person, and I also have seven passions and six desires4七情 (qi qing); seven emotional states; seven affects of traditional Chinese medical theory and therapy, namely: joy 喜[xi3], anger 怒[nu4], anxiety 憂|忧[you1], thought 思[si1], grief 悲[bei1], fear 恐[kong3], fright 驚|惊[jing1]; seven relations
六欲 (liu yu); six desire; appetite; passion; lust; greed etc~, so it is inevitable that I also have the selfishness like other people, but please believe that I am absolutely not bad enough to do things that will hurt the world.” Ye Chen explained seriously.

Ye You smiled sarcastically, shook his head, and then turned around and left.

“Ye You …” Ye Chen looked at Ye You’s back and was anxious.
If Ye You didn’t go back with him, many of his plans will not be able to carried out.
