Follow with heart

On her way back to her dormitory, Li Yue first went to the school store and bought two large bottles of Nongfu Spring water. She carried them back to her car, then went to her dormitory to retrieve some personal belongings before driving home.

Li Yue's home is in Jinling City. As soon as she entered the house, her father, Li Zhiyuan, said happily, "Oh! Honey! Why are you back so late?"

Li Yue ignored her father's question and asked directly, "Dad, where do you keep your green tea?"

Li Zhiyuan: "They're all in the refrigerator. What? Are you giving them away? If so, there's a box of finely packaged West Lake Longjing tea in the study."

Li Zhiyuan mainly drinks black tea now, and occasionally drinks green tea. Li Yue's mother is the one who mainly drinks green tea at home.

"I'm not giving it away. I'm going on a trip tomorrow and will be drinking outside."

As they were talking, Li Yue came out with a bag of tea and a box of tea, holding up a large box of Taiping Houkui tea.

"Dad! Is this 'ghost monkey' tea? Is it good?"

Li Zhiyuan sighed and corrected, "This is called Houkui, a famous tea from Anhui."

"These don't come in individual packets; they're all sold in half-pound packages. If you're going to drink them while traveling, I suggest you take the small packet you're holding. That's Bashan Sparrow Tongue, also a green tea, sold in two-ounce packages. Both of these are this year's pre-Qingming tea."

"Oh!" Li Yue responded and put both of them into the bag.

She was ready to pack everything up and take it all with her; her father's advice was completely ineffective.

"Xiaoyue! Are you dating someone?"

Li Yue's mother, Zhao Chuyu, had just come out of the shower and was drying her hair with a hairdryer when she made a joking remark.

Unexpectedly, Li Yue paused for a moment, then said in a muffled voice, "We haven't won it yet."

"Ah!" Zhao Chuyu was thrilled by the unexpected surprise. Her daughter had finally found someone she liked, and now she had a target.

"Why bother with that cheap tea? Your dad has the best Anji white tea in his study, in a nice little box. It's best to take that with you when you go out."

"Is white tea considered green tea?" Li Yue asked, bewildered.

"Yes! Yes! Of course it counts. It's just that white tea absorbs odors too easily, so it can't be put in the refrigerator, which is why your dad keeps it separately in the study."

Without saying a word, Zhao Chuyu took out a box of tea from the study.

He opened a box, checked it, and made sure the sealed packaging was still intact before closing the lid and handing it to Li Yue.

Li Yue threw the box of white tea into the bag, then went into the bedroom to start packing.

......

"Old Zhao! Tell me, which genius has managed to win our daughter's heart?"

As soon as his daughter came into the house, Li Zhiyuan hurriedly asked his wife questions.

Zhao Chuyu turned his head.

"I'll talk to my third brother in a few days and ask him to find someone to investigate."

"Okay!" Li Zhiyuan nodded in relief.

Zhao Chuyu's third brother is a leader in the Nanjing Public Security Bureau, so this matter is extremely trivial to him.

When Xiaoyue got into that incident last year, he, a leader in the Public Security Bureau, almost got beaten up by his father, the head of the garrison.

A little while later, Li Yue came out of the bedroom carrying a large pile of things.

"Girl! You're taking so much stuff with you?"

Even as a woman herself, Zhao Chuyu was stunned by what her daughter was preparing to bring.

"Yes! I'll be staying out overnight. I don't think the blankets and sheets at the guesthouse are clean enough, so I'll have them replaced with new ones."

Li Yue prepared enough sheets and blankets for two people this time, no wonder her mother thought it was too much.

Zhao Chuyu: "The most important thing is to bring some medicine, especially for treating injuries. This is essential."

Li Yue nodded. "Okay!"

Li Yue put the blanket on the sofa and followed her mother into the room to prepare the medicine.

......

Zhao Chuyu: "You don't need to prepare so much gauze. You brought so much that it could be used for a woman's C-section outside. You've taken all the supplies we had at home."

Li Yue: "Can't we bring the leftovers back?"

Zhao Chuyu: "This is too much..."

......

Listening to his wife and daughter chattering in the house, Li Zhiyuan wasn't worried at all.

As for his daughter going out with a male classmate and spending the night outside, he wasn't worried at all.

He knows his own daughter too well. How could she be taken advantage of by another man?

His biggest worry is that his daughter might accidentally kill someone.

Li Yue has never been bullied by anyone since she can remember.

It wasn't that all the children loved peace, but rather that she was so strong that any boy who bullied her suffered greatly.

Li Yue comes from a military family, and influenced by her parents, she doesn't particularly enjoy interpersonal communication.

She was not sociable from a young age and had difficulty playing with other children.

Li Yue spent much of her childhood and adolescence in her maternal grandfather's military camp.

At that time, Lao Zhao was not the top leader, but the second-in-command.

Even in the military camp, no one played with her, and most of the time she wandered around by herself.

During the summer before she started elementary school, she did something sensational in the military camp.

There was a guard dog at her maternal grandfather's door, a very fierce one, nicknamed Blackback King.

Military dogs are trained to protect their owners.

Military dogs will not attack acquaintances unless provoked, but they also have dignity.

Even for high-ranking officials, at most they might just stroke someone's hair.

Normally, the German Shepherd King would just squat by the door, looking down on the other dogs with an attitude of "I won't bother anyone unless they bother me".

But when Li Yue arrived, she didn't care about any of that.

She was just a little kid back then, with nothing to do, so she wanted to ride the Black King.

Most dogs don't like being ridden, let alone a military dog, especially a German Shepherd.

When Li Yue grabbed the black-backed king by the collar and climbed up, the black-backed king got angry and bared its teeth at Li Yue.

This instinctive reaction of the German Shepherd was probably the most regrettable thing it ever did in its life, if dogs could use their brains.

Li Yue got angry, grabbed the dog's mouth with both hands, and pried it open in one go.

The black-backed king's mouth was pried open and couldn't be closed at all. The key point was that the black-backed king felt as if its mouth was being torn in two at any moment.

Sensing the threat, the black-backed king struggled desperately, and in its panic, it tried to use its legs to push Li Yue's hand away.

Li Yue got even more angry. She didn't let go, but just used her free thumb and forefinger to pinch the dog's leg and then squeeze it gently.

Then, the entire military camp heard Blackback King's earth-shattering roar.

"Awooo~~~~~~", the mournful cry was mixed with endless despair.

Old Zhao was startled while sitting inside. Fortunately, he had experienced strong winds and heavy rain before sitting quietly for a while before slowly coming out to see what was going on.

Then he saw Li Yue, with a smile on her face, riding on the back of the black dog, slapping its rump and happily shouting "Giddy up! Giddy up! Giddy up!...".

Well! They've mistaken a dog for Ma Qi.

The usually fierce dog was now holding up one leg, its eyes filled with endless grievance and submissiveness.

There were even faint glimmers of tears in his eyes as he limped and staggered forward.

After learning the reason, the commander sighed, "That dog is useless!"

The trainer understood what the commander meant; the commander was saying the dog was useless, not because its leg was broken.

A leg injury like this usually heals in one or two months.

However, once a dog is completely subdued by someone, it will never be fierce to anyone again.

If it were to become a guard dog again, it wouldn't even be able to look fierce; it could only be kept as a pet.

Li Yue didn't realize she had done anything wrong, because no one said anything to her, and her grandfather took the blame for all the trouble she caused.

Li Yue herself was having a blast in the military camp, coming every holiday.

Among them, her favorite thing to watch was the training of special forces soldiers in the military region.

In the Southeast Garrison Command, there is a famous special forces brigade of our army called Blue Light.

Blue Light brings together the best of the Southeast Garrison Command. The team members here are not non-commissioned officers; the lowest rank is second lieutenant, and each one is proud and ambitious.

They had all heard about Li Yue's deeds, but they didn't take them seriously.

What's wrong with bullying a dog, especially a trained dog that wouldn't dare bite people randomly?

If it were a wild animal, it's hard to say.

Until one year, Li Yue turned 13. The little girl's body had grown up and she was beginning to take on the appearance of a young woman.

The little girl's fierce and mischievous nature completely disappeared, and she transformed into a petite and approachable little sister next door.

Even her parents were relieved, thinking that their daughter was finally acting like a girl and wouldn't cause any more trouble like she did when she was little.

When Li Yue walked into the special forces training camp again, the soldiers only felt an urge to protect her; they selectively forgot about her past.

When Li Yue arrived that day, the special forces instructors were demonstrating hard qigong to a group of ordinary soldiers.

The instructor was shirtless, squatting in a horse stance, his muscles bulging all over his body, making him look strong and powerful.

The instructor stretched out his hands, holding two walnuts in his hands.

The instructor suddenly inhaled, shouted, and twisted his hand.

With two cracking sounds, the walnut in my hand was crushed to pieces.

"Good!!" "Instructor is awesome!" The soldiers below cheered.

Li Yue walked forward curiously, looking at the walnuts in the instructor's hand.

The instructor recognized Li Yue, but he dared not offend her. She was the commander's beloved granddaughter; he would have chased away any other person long ago.

"Young Miss! Please don't get too close, I'm afraid you'll get hurt."

Looking at the delicate young girl in front of him, even a man would feel the urge to protect her.

"That's it?" Li Yue was still a child, and her competitive spirit was rising.

She looked at the row of walnuts on the table, stretched out her slender hand, and then made a sweeping motion.

All that could be heard was a series of "crack crack crack crack..." sounds. The sound was so brief that the instructor didn't even blink twice, and all the dozen or so walnuts on the table were crushed to pieces.

Ahhhhhh! The row of soldiers below gaped wide-eyed, their mouths agape, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

The instructor was even more dumbfounded than the soldiers; he wasn't concerned about the crushed walnuts.

Good heavens!! With that hand speed just now, if the other party had a bayonet, they could have stabbed seven or eight holes in him.

That's what he practices. With Li Yue's hand speed, he can dodge the first few attacks, but he can't dodge all the subsequent ones.

"This is so boring!" Li Yue said and left quietly, without taking a single glance with her.

But the instructors wouldn't let her go. In their eyes, she was a celestial being descended to earth, and it would be a shame if she didn't become a special forces soldier.

Although Blue Light Special Forces are very famous, they are not ranked number one in the entire army.

There is also competition among the special forces of different military regions, and their military region can only barely maintain the top three at present.

How could an instructor possibly give up on such a promising talent?

He then reported to his superior, hoping that Li Yue would choose to join the army in the future.

Moreover, given Li Yue's family background, it's highly likely that she will choose to join the military in the future, and becoming a special forces soldier is only a matter of time.

So, after the report was completed, the instructor waited for Li Yue to grow up and join the team.

After this incident, Li Yue's deeds became known among the higher-ups.

Many commanders in the garrison area know that the Zhao family in the Southeast Garrison Area has a female version of the "Thirteen Protectors".

The Thirteen Protectors was the code name for Li Cunxiao, a fierce general of the Later Tang Dynasty, who was known as an invincible figure who fought against all the remnants of the Tang Dynasty.

When Li Yue was very young, many people who cared about her were too embarrassed to show their true colors too soon.

But when she turned 16, Chief An, who had worked with Lao Zhao for many years, couldn't sit still.

It's no wonder he's anxious, because according to the customs of our country's Central Military Commission, a veteran military leader of a military region cannot stay in one place for too long; he must be transferred. Chief An will have to be transferred to another place to take charge at the end of the year.

Before leaving, adhering to the principle of taking advantage of proximity, he approached Old Zhao to discuss his idea of ​​arranging a marriage between his grandson and Old Zhao.

His youngest grandson, An Dingbian, is the child in their family who has the most military bearing.

Having served for over two years, I am currently a member of the Blue Light Special Forces Brigade.

"I have no objection, but the problem is, what era are we living in? Parents can't make decisions anymore; these things are all decided by the children themselves. Old An, the most I can do is pass on a message to the child. Whether it works out or not, don't expect me to guarantee anything."

After hearing the purpose of Chief An's visit, Old Zhao stated his position directly.

"Oh! That's exactly what I wanted to hear. I've already asked my grandson; he's met your granddaughter, and he's more than willing. Now it just depends on your Xiaoyue's attitude. As long as she doesn't object, the children can get to know each other slowly."

Hearing that Lao Zhao was willing to speak on his behalf was already a result that Chief An was quite satisfied with.

The following summer, when Li Yue came to the military camp again, Lao Zhao casually mentioned this matter.

Chief An has been transferred, but his grandson is still here.

After listening to her grandfather's words, Li Yue remained calm.

"Is that An Dingbian in Blue Light? I'm going to go meet him." Li Yue said and went out.

Old Zhao pondered Li Yue's words for a long time, then realized something was amiss. He ran out the door and chased after her, calling out to her.

"Xiaoyue, that's your Uncle An's precious son. Your Uncle An is the one who sends you jujubes every year, so be careful!"

......

Li Yue went straight to the special forces base and found An Dingbian.

"I heard you want to marry me someday?"

Li Yue looked up and asked An Dingbian, as if she were asking about something as simple as asking for directions, not her life's most important matter.

"Hmm!" An Ding rubbed his hands together. He wasn't that calm. The young man was quite thin-skinned and didn't let loose.

"Then can you beat me?"

"Huh?" An Dingbian was still embarrassed, but Li Yue's words completely stunned him.

With his brain, he couldn't get back to his original state in such a short time.

Li Yue said seriously, "If you can beat me, I can consider it. After all, having a good sparring partner isn't easy."

These words left Andingbian speechless.

He looked at the petite Li Yue and thought, "She must be at most 1.6 meters tall."

How is it any different for a tall guy like him to bully a young girl? He couldn't bring himself to do it.

He chuckled modestly and said, "Whether I can win or not is hard to say. The key is that you are at a disadvantage in terms of height and weight. If we really want to fight, I won't be able to use my full strength."

Hehe! Li Yue didn't continue the question. Instead, she asked, "What other special skills do you have in competitions?"

An Dingbian chuckled: "No one here can beat me in an arm wrestling match."

An Dingbian proposed arm wrestling because he felt it was the gentlest method.

Of course, no one here can really beat him.

"Okay!" Li Yue sat down without saying a word, propping her elbows on the table, ready to take on the challenge.

Holy crap! An Dingbian has struck it rich this time!

Several of his comrades came to watch, and even his instructors came to see.

The instructor was an experienced man; he didn't have any particular thoughts, but he knew what those young men were thinking.

With Li Yue's looks and family background, she is not someone an ordinary person can get her hands on.

The teammates from Andingbian felt that Andingbian had gotten a good deal, but in reality, they had no chance at all.

Although marriage is now a matter of personal freedom, there's still a certain degree of consideration for matching social status and economic conditions.

Of all their men, only An Dingbian is a good match for this young girl.

As for the competition, the girl was just giving herself a way out.

The man from Andingbian is also good-looking; a girl might fall for him at first sight.

The instructor thought this to himself, but things didn't go according to his plan at all.

As soon as the two made contact, An Ding frowned and stared intently at Li Yue, without putting any effort into the arm wrestling.

The instructor was just about to ask what you two were doing when he heard An Ding start yelling "Ah! Ah! Ah!" At first, he was just yelling, and the sound wasn't too bad.

Later, An Ding started screaming and howling in agony, crying out, "Have mercy! Sister! I'll never do it again. Awooo~~~~!"

She's already calling him "sister," even though An Dingbian is three years older than Li Yue.

Li Yue let go of his hand, and An Ding quickly covered his own hand, tears welling up in his eyes.

That pained expression looked as if he had just undergone severe torture.

Li Yue stood up and walked to a sandbag.

"Arm wrestling is the most meaningless kind of competition. If you think you can beat me in kickboxing, you're wrong."

"I haven't started combat sports training yet this year, but I will begin it this semester..."

"After this semester, I will accept any marriage proposal from any eligible person who can beat me in boxing."

After Li Yue finished speaking, she punched a sandbag next to her until it exploded, then turned and left.

No one present dared to disbelieve Li Yue's words.

They wouldn't be confident of breaking a sandbag, let alone with one punch; they wouldn't be able to even do it for a month.

The following summer, after hearing about the "Thirteen Bodyguards" women's martial arts contest to find a husband.

All those in the Southeast Garrison Command who could take action did so, but none of them could last five minutes against Li Yue.

Moreover, none of those who were defeated were crippled.

Soon, the entire garrison region knew about it.

The military is never short of talented people, and everyone knows that Li Yue will be going to the Southeast Garrison Command's barracks during her vacation.

In her third year, Li Yue, who had just finished the college entrance examination, spent her most enjoyable summer vacation in the Southeast Garrison Command.

This summer, she fought five or six matches a day and finally defeated all the top fighters from the entire army.

Li Yue's biggest headache since childhood has been not being able to openly fight with others, but this time, she felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction from the beating.

This was under the premise that she was restraining herself and not crippling the person.

As for losing to her opponent, Li Yue never even considered it.

Now, Li Yue is hoping that there really is a guy like the one in the American movie "Terminator," so that she can have a proper fight.

Before Li Yue went to university, almost all the military academies in the country sent her invitations, but Li Yue ultimately chose to attend Jiangnan University.

Her reason to her parents was that she was too focused on martial arts and her personality was too domineering.

She wanted to focus on her studies, calm herself down, and collect her breath.

Li Yue's decision was met with regret by many high-ranking military officials.

Later, the incident of the troublemaker from freshman year happened. Ordinary people who didn't know the details thought it was caused by a privileged person abusing their power.

Although it cracked down on crime, it still drew some criticism.

In fact, only a few people knew that the incident had even alarmed the higher-ups in the military region, and that hoodlum deserved to die.

The matter was initiated by the Zhao family, but it later became the opinion of the entire military.

So now that Li Zhiyuan has such a daughter, what does he have to worry about his daughter suffering a loss?
