Chapter 870: Chapter 869: Strange Chapter 870: Chapter 869: Strange Nan Fei couldn’t help but suppress a smile, shaking her head in resignation.
“Sister Nan Fei, you have to miss me too!” Yu Yiji, seeing that Nan Fei wasn’t paying attention to him, felt very uneasy. He trotted a few steps after her and hugged her long leg, looking pitifully up at her, “Will you miss me?”
“I will!” Although Nan Fei was speaking to Yu Yiji, her gaze was fixed on Jiang Yang, who had remained silent throughout, not uttering a word.
The little guy was dressed in a neat and tidy school uniform, his skin fair, his beautiful lips carrying a faint sheen. Standing in the morning sunlight, he already had the air of a young man, and his eyes, looking at Nan Fei, no longer had the autistic, lifeless look of the past.
Nan Fei frowned slightly, suddenly feeling as though something was amiss. At home, it was no big deal for Jiang Yang to be silent, but recently his condition had improved markedly. It would be more than two months before she could return from school.
It was impossible for him not to say a word to her.
Nan Fei wanted to turn back, but as she took a step, she saw Jiang Yang take a step back, half his body obscured by the villa’s eaves. He pursed his lips and looked at her with a deep gaze, slowly shaking his head.
Jiang Yang’s shaking was very slow, very subtle. If you weren’t looking closely, you wouldn’t notice at all, and even if you did see it, you might think you had misinterpreted it.
Nan Fei bit her lip, then slowly curved the corners of her mouth, finally bursting into a radiant and brilliant smile.
“I’m off! Everyone, wait for me to come back!”
“Don’t cause trouble at school! Lovely little Yu Yiji, study hard, okay?”
“Beautiful Sister Nan Fei, you also have to give it your all at school!” Yu Yiji energetically waved his hand, bounding around excitedly, perfectly epitomizing a child with ADHD.
In the end, Nan Fei suppressed the myriad doubts in her heart and left without looking back, headed for the military school. She also consoled herself that worrying was pointless; fretting wouldn’t help. She was now certain that her sister wasn’t simple.
Her brother wasn’t a fool either.
This was fine, as Jiang Yang’s actions clearly meant he was keeping something from her.
For some reason, Nan Fei suddenly felt a paternal sense of relief. Jiang Yang had grown up, starting to have his own thoughts. Since he wasn’t telling her now, she would just wait patiently.
She would eventually figure it out.
As long as Jiang Yang was no longer like before, that was good enough for her, and she could not afford to worry about much else.
It took only about fifteen minutes to walk from the villa district to the back entrance of the military school. However, once inside, it took at least half an hour to walk through the sprawling campus to reach the dormitory area.
The campus was indeed vast.
Fortunately, it had been Wei Qin who had requested leave for her. He had clout, and the arrangements were well made. Nan Fei first sent her large luggage to the dorm, changed into the camouflage uniform for military training, and then she was directly driven to the training grounds.
The military training at the military school was always highly regarded by the military department, as the training was usually organized at various divisions, regiments, or new recruit companies.
Nan Fei didn’t understand any of this, and as for the numbers and glorious histories of the various military units, she was completely in the dark. Wherever the car took her, she would go.
The car that brought her entered directly through the grand gates of the military zone. The first thing that caught her eye was the fluttering five-starred red flag. On both sides of the road were green belts and various small plazas, feeling somewhat spacious.
Going deeper inside, a huge courtyard came into view, its perimeter lined with barbed wire, sentry posts, and massive spotlights, conveying a stern and martial atmosphere.
