Chapter 696 - When Two Armies Are At A Stalemate, The More Persistent One Will Win

“We must seek truth from facts, be modest and prudent, apply what we have learned, mean what we say, be positive and eager, dare to be innovative, be brave and determined, be decisive and quick, work hard and persevere, be diligent and frugal.”

He really started reciting the soldiers’ manual. For a moment, Ye Jian couldn’t catch up with his tempo. She didn’t understand what he was doing too. What did this have to do with the soldiers’ manual?

Since she didn’t know what was happening, she didn’t dare to move. It might be because she didn’t hate the hug with the faint mint smell too. She listened quietly to his low and happy voice.

“We must remember these points all the time and never forget them. If I was decisive and quick, seek truth from the facts, meant what I said, and dared to be innovative, the love letter in my pocket would have been sent out long ago!”

As she continued listening, Ye Jian felt that she… understood some things. Then, she heard him saying, “When two armies are at a stalemate, the most persistent one will win. I keep thinking that you’re too young but I forgot about the environmental factors.”

At this moment, Ye Jian didn’t even have the energy to open her mouth anymore. The soldiers’ manual became a love manual for soldiers in his hand.

“Captain Xia is indeed an outstanding Special Forces soldier. Not only do you put what you learn to use, you use them in all areas of life. You’re indeed an ace soldier!” Ye Jian felt speechless as she said this. She even wondered to herself. If Commander Xia knew that his son was like this, would he raise his gun?

Xia Jinyuan took her sarcasm as a compliment. Tonight, the gap between his little fox and him got closer. While he was delighted, he remembered to summarize his experience.

Soldiers must know how to summarise their experience. With more experiences, the rate of success would be higher. The setbacks they faced would get lesser too. As a soldier, they must always remember the saying that conceit makes one lag behind. He mustn’t think that just because he is so outstanding, his little fox will only like him.

A smile appeared on his elegant and handsome face. He said calmly, “I forgot about this in the past. That’s why I lag behind other people. Now, I will never forget the spirit a soldier should have. Hence, Little Fox, I will take the risk and move forward occasionally in the future.”

This time, Xia Jinyuan was using the qualities a soldier should have on chasing his girlfriend. He decided to use his risk-taking spirit too. That was why he said that his wager was his first kiss.

That was really a huge risk. If Ye Jian got offended, he would be in trouble.

When Ye Jian heard this, her eyes widened. She took some time before she muttered, “If Commander Xia knows this, I wonder what he will think.”

Xia Jinyuan felt that he could represent Commander Xia to answer this question. He hugged her and said with a serious face. “Commander Xia always supported my risk-taking spirit. Ever since I entered the military, I took many special and unique risks for the first time. My first target training was a risk. My first grenade throwing experience was a risk. My first military performance was a risk.”

“The person who takes more risk will get more benefits. If you’re afraid to commit to yourself, you can only watch the girl you like being taken away by someone else.”

…

As she listened to him, Ye Jian had to give him a thumbs up. “What you say makes me feel that those soldiers who haven’t found a girlfriend should read the soldiers’ manual a few more times. When they have a deep understanding of it just like you, they will be able to find a girlfriend.”
