Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

Qin Xiu was silent for a long while before responding to Ye Jian, ”From now on, you will also have the protection of the Qin family. If people outside dare to bully you again, you can tell me.”

”Hmm, I want to go home and talk to Grandpa.” In fact, Ye Jian thought that this was a good idea as well. Qin Xiu was a gentleman and very clear about the bottom line of being a person. Becoming siblings naturally solved some problems that hadn’t been resolved over the years.

Qin Xiu didn’t try to find another topic to talk with Ye Jian about. He just occasionally looked in the rearview mirror. He suddenly wished the journey could be longer, time could pass slower, and it would be nice for them to be together quietly in the same space.

After today, who knows how long it would be until they had another chance like this.

Ye Jian returned to the Fu family, where Old Man Xia was still waiting in the living room and had fallen asleep. A security officer had covered him with a thick blanket. Ye Jian walked over to tuck in the blanket around Old Man Xia, who was a light sleeper and woke up immediately.

”Grandpa.”

”Girl, you’re back.” Old Man Xia slowly tried to get up while Ye Jian and the security hurried to help him sit.

”How is Grandpa Qin doing?” Old Man Xia asked.

”The emergency response by Grandpa Qin’s home security was timely. There were no major issues. The doctor did a full body checkup and said it was a cerebral arterial thrombosis due to his old age, but currently, there’s no danger to life,” Ye Jian said.

”It’s good that there are no major issues.” Old Man Xia also breathed a sigh of relief. At their age, they had to accept growing old, and any of these old comrades could depart any day without warning.

”Grandpa, let’s get you to your room to rest.” Ye Jian said, thinking of Old Master Qin lying in the hospital and still feeling a bit of regret. She hoped her own grandpa could live for many more decades!

”Okay.” Old Man Xia nodded and let them assist him slowly back to his room.

Ye Jian returned to her room to freshen up and quickly fell asleep snuggled in her blankets.

When she woke up again, it was already past ten in the morning. As Ye Jian came out of her room, she heard voices talking downstairs.

Xia Jinyuan was sitting opposite Old Man Xia, sipping tea, and smiled at her, ”Awake?”

”Mhmm.” Ye Jian nodded.

”Breakfast has been kept warm for you in the kitchen. Go ahead and eat first,” Old Man Xia said lovingly as he looked at Ye Jian.

After having breakfast, Ye Jian sat down in the living room where Xia Jinyuan and Old Man Xia were chatting happily. Xia Jinyuan said to Ye Jian, ”I have good news to tell you.”

”What good news?” Ye Jian was unaware of the situation.

”I just got the news this morning that our three-day holiday has been extended to ten days, so I rushed over to tell you the good news,” Xia Jinyuan said.

”A ten-day holiday?” Ye Jian was a mix of surprised and delighted.

The unexpected ten-day break was a pleasant surprise. She had been thinking about how to spend these three days, and now that a ten-day holiday had suddenly appeared, it meant they could arrange to spend it very well.

”You two young people should discuss how you want to spend these ten days of holiday,” Old Man Xia said, standing up to give the young people some space.

”The ten-day holiday can be spent properly celebrating the New Year at home,” Ye Jian said with joy.

”Besides celebrating the New Year properly, do you have any other plans?” Xia Jinyuan asked with a smile.

”Other plans?” Ye Jian deliberately paused for a moment, looked at Xia Jinyuan’s expression, and said, ”Isn’t that something the boyfriend should arrange? The girlfriend just needs to follow along. Captain Xia, how do you plan to arrange our holiday?”
