Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 1708: “Brave”

Zhai Yi raised his eyebrows. To tell the truth, he was rather surprised by such an outcome. His grandpa had been more successful in persuading Zhou Xing than he had expected. “No matter what, you’re lucky that Zhou Xing isn’t at that stage where she’s beyond remedy. Obviously, once Zhou Xing gets to interact with some normal people, she’ll be much more normal that her mom and will listen to advice.”

Zhai Xin understood at once that the abnormal person that Zhai Yi was talking about was that ‘grandma’ back in Ping Cheng whom they had only met once.

Not only had she raised her own daughter in this manner. Now, she had even raised her granddaughter in this manner. Zhai Xin had no children of his own, and neither did he have any experience being a father. But he could not help but ‘respect’ Ding Jiayi. Other people never grew tired of teaching others, while this ‘grandma’ of his never grew tired of ‘ruining’ others. What was most ridiculous was that his ‘grandma’ did not choose to ruin other people, but instead, she chose to ruin her own family members! Especially those closest and most beloved to her!

Was there anything more extreme than this?

“All right, grandpa stepped up to help you solve the problem of Zhou Xing. Remember to be more restrained in your action in the future. Don’t go around overflowing with compassion and love. Otherwise, Zhou Xing might have gone, but a second Zhou Xing might just appear. When that time comes, grandpa couldn’t possibly keep solving your problems for you.”

After all, this whole matter had been a result of Zhai Xin’s lack of a strong will. Zhai Xin should have been like him and held firm to his principles even after Zhou Xing appeared. He should have put his focus on his schoolwork and not have been in a hurry to get into a relationship. No matter who appeared, Zhou Xing should not have viewed the other party as a younger sister and allowed her to call herself his girlfriend just because she was young and insensible and did not know what she truly wanted.

What happened in the end only proved that having too much compassion would only lead to misunderstandings.

Zhai Xin rubbed his face. “Once bitten, twice shy. Not everyone can love others so selflessly. I, for one, can’t do that. From now on, I have no affinity with selfless love. As long as I ensure that I am not one who purposefully destroys others, I’ll not be wasting whatever Mom has taught me since I was young.”

Cherish others selflessly?

Not all flowers needed to be cherished by others. If you met one who was a bully, it would be best to avoid it. Otherwise, the only one who would suffer would be yourself.

“Remember what you’ve just said.” Zhai Yi patted Zhai Xin on the shoulder. If Zhai Xin could really follow through with his words, this incident with Zhou Xing would not be a wasted one. With a younger like Zhai Xin, there was no way Zhai Yi could choose not to care about him. Zhai Xin was his only brother, after all.

Zhai Xin looked at Zhai Yi. “I have no other problems. Zhai Yi, you’d better pay more attention to Zhai Yu in the future. You know that Zhai Yu is the one that resembles Mom the most amongst the three of us. Mom was the most popular girl in Peking University in her days. If she had not gotten married early and had the three of us immediately, there might have been a whole line of people waiting to chase Mom. Do you think that this incident with Zhou Xing will happen on Zhai Yu?”

‘Someone’ would set his sight on her just to get some so-called revenge for his mother. Based on the Zhai family’s background, there were a countless number of people scheming against the Zhai family. If Zhou Xing had had her eyes on him, there was sure to be someone else who had set his sights on a young lady like Zhai Yu.

Everyone knew that Zhai Yu was the only young lady in the Zhai family and was the precious golden goose of the whole Zhai family. With Zhai Yu’s special position in the Zhai family, there would only be more people who were scheming against Zhai Yu than against Zhai Yi.

“Hehehe...” Zhai Yi put down the pen in his hand. “You’re worried about Zhai Yu? Zhai Yu may be the youngest among the three of us, but I guess it’s because of the difference in gender that Zhai Yu is much more sensitive than you are in this aspect. There will definitely be more people like Zhou Xing in the future. But don’t you worry about Zhai Yu. It’s better for you to take care of yourself.”

While they were still in junior high school, there were already boys who were eyeing on Zhai Yu. Perhaps, things had been more innocent at that time. Before he could even do anything upon learning about the matter, Zhai Yu had resolved the matter herself.

He thought about how that boy always made detours upon seeing Zhai Yu afterward, acting as though he was a mouse running away from a cat. Initially, Zhai Yi had been rather curious about how Zhai Yu had managed to do that. After a lot of effort, he still failed to get the story from his own sister. Instead, he managed to coax the answer out of that boy whom Zhai Yu had rejected.

Actually, Zhai Yu had not rejected him either. She had simply asked a few questions to pressurize and crush the other party. Zhai Yu expressed that she had recently found a few new questions that were pretty interesting and suggested that they went through them together. In the end, the boy had not even gotten an understanding of what the question meant while Zhai Yu had arrived at the answer. “Ha. This question only looks interesting and a little challenging, but it’s actually so easy. Sigh. This is an insult to my intellect.”

Boys in junior high school cared a lot about having their dignity, so there was no way the boy would have admitted that he had not even understood the question, much less any idea of how to solve the question. If such a difficult question was an insult to Zhai Yu’s intellect, and if he could not even solve this question, then his intellect...

From then on, that boy no longer felt that Zhai Yu was the lover of his dreams. He only felt that Zhai Yu was too intelligent. No wonder she always placed among the top three in the level at every examination. Putting it in another way, the Zhai siblings were too outstanding.

It was too easy for anyone to feel inferior in front of someone like that. An average person could not handle the pressure of staying by the Zhai siblings all the time.

Incidents like this happened almost every term when a fearless boy would try to get close to Zhai Yu. What comforted Zhai Yi was that Zhai Yu was able to handle all of them herself and handle them very well for that matter.

It was rare that his sister was able to deal with things in a sensible manner herself. Since his younger sister was all grown up and able to deal with problems on her own, Zhai Yi felt that it was only natural for him to give his sister enough space to develop and show off her talents.

This meant that Zhai Yi had absolute confidence in Zhai Yu and felt that she would definitely be able to handle whatever was thrown in her direction. On the other hand, Zhai Xin, who should have performed better than Zhai Yu, had a big fall when it came to Zhou Xing. Zhai Yi felt that this joke was the funniest joke that he had heard in this entire year. action

After hearing Zhai Yi’s words, Zhai Xin looked depressed and covered his whole body with his blanket. After he learned about Zhai Yu’s ‘bravery’, Zhai Xin felt too shameful to meet anyone.
