Protagonist:

Lin Xiyu

Fu Zheng didn't quibble with his younger brother, smiling good-naturedly and kindly reminding him: "And, the prettier the girlfriend, the more likely she is to be coveted; if you don't have Grandfather backing you up, relying only on yourself, you won't be able to protect your little girlfriend......."

"Hahaha, I guessed right."

The two brothers were speaking when Wang Fan's unrestrained and boastful laughter came from nearby: "Study Committee Member, you didn't cry because you were excited to see Zheng-ge, did you? Turns out the person you truly admire is him......."

Gu Zheng's smile stiffened.

"What nonsense are you talking?"

Guben's face darkened, no longer bothering to argue with Eldest Brother; he took a few steps over, grabbed the man by the collar, and pulled him away.

"Hey hey, don't pull the collar, okay?"

Wang Fan was choked by him until his breath was uneven.

"I'm not......"

Seeing him walk over, Lin Xiyu felt both shy and annoyed, her cheeks flushing red.

"Why were you crying just now?"

Guben looked at her red-rimmed eyelids, felt a moment of heartache, and his tone involuntarily softened: "Rather than letting them guess wildly, you might as well just say it out loud......."

"My dad used to ride a motorcycle and take me for a spin."

Lin Xiyu's gaze dimmed, and she gave an unexpected answer: "Just now seeing your Eldest Brother in military uniform riding a motorcycle suddenly reminded me of my dad, and I thought of things from when I was little."

"Pfft, hahahahaha......"

Wang Fan spat out a mouthful of spit, laughing bent double: "Laughing me to death, Zheng-ge, you're done for, you're old now, actually resembling her dad."

"Don't listen to him......"

Guben glared at him unhappily, turned his head to explain to Lin Xiyu: "Her dad was only in his early thirties when he sacrificed, very young."

"Was her dad also a soldier?"

Fu Zheng's expression changed slightly, and as he walked over he casually gave Wang Fan a violent knuckle-flick to the head.

"Yes."

Guben drew close to Eldest Brother, lowering his voice: "Her dad was also from the Jinan Military Region, and sacrificed during the Self-Defense Counterattack War against Vietnam."

"Martyr's Child?!"

Fu Zheng's mind stirred: "Grandfather should like her very much."

"What are you planning?"

Guben narrowed his eyes, his gaze alert.

"Don't you like her?"

Fu Zheng also leaned forward, lowering his voice to the extreme: "If Grandfather's side won't work, find another way; let Grandfather back you up, isn't that even better."

"Cut it out."

Gu Binjun's face darkened even more: "I'm warning you, don't set your sights on her; even if Grandfather agrees to me dating her, I won't join the military."

"Xiao Bin, why are you so stubborn?"

Fu Zheng looked at his rebellious younger brother and helplessly rubbed his forehead: "What's wrong with being a soldier? With your IQ and physical quality, becoming a pilot is a sure thing; mixing in the military region for a few years, promotion to Middle Colonel is easy as pie."

"That's your ideal, not mine."

Guben spoke his reason in a provocative tone: "Don't you think being a soldier in peacetime has no meaning at all? If time were turned back ten years, during the counterattack war against Vietnam, I would sign up for the army without hesitation, but now........"

"Who says being a soldier in peacetime has no meaning at all?"

Fu Zheng frowned in displeasure, interrupting him: "Xiao Bin, hearing this from your mouth surprises Eldest Brother very much; you were raised by Grandfather from childhood, grown up with elite education comparable to that abroad, and shouldn't be so arbitrary, unable to see the current international situation clearly."

"Eldest Brother, we don't need to argue about these things in front of outsiders."

Guben didn't want to argue with Eldest Brother in front of the Program Group people, and decisively stopped his lecture: "You just need to know my thoughts; I have many things I want to try in the future, and won't be limited to one industry."
