The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 190: Awaiting Yearning and Keeping Vigil

Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Awaiting Yearning and Keeping Vigil

An agreement with three conditions? The second clause is too easy to break, isn’t it? As long as she agrees, then he can hug, kiss, hold, and... hmm hmm... hehe...

As for the third clause, how could he possibly let her feel dissatisfied? Once she’s in his bowl, she’s his person, thinking of leaving? What a daydream...

The two officially confirmed their relationship. Wang Miaomiao thought everything was done quietly, not knowing that Jiang Yan found an opportunity in the second month to submit the marriage application to the leader, seeking approval and getting it signed, making it public.

Of course, he also made clear to the leader that the woman is still young, and they plan to get married in three years. Therefore, he requested the leader not to publicize it to avoid gossip outside.

This leader valued Jiang Yan highly and naturally agreed readily.

After confirming their relationship, their days passed sweetly and happily. Jiang Yan was still very busy, spending more than half a month each month on missions away from the base.

As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder, and little partings enhance the relationship.

Each separation deepened their feelings for each other repeatedly. Wang Miaomiao found that in just a few months, she had become quite attached to him.

Amazing... that person is toxic.

Sigh... indeed, affection is a kind of entanglement.

On the twenty-fifth of the lunar July, it’s her birthday today. Wang Miaomiao stood on the roof of the tallest building in the station, gazing into the distance, hoping for that person to appear. Unfortunately...

The twilight as the sun sets always carries a poetic romance, making one linger in nostalgia and sigh uncontrollably. The sky at dusk is always beautiful; distant clouds embellish the twilight, the afterglow of the setting sun reflecting on mountains and waters, interweaving into a vivid scene of great splendor.

Unfortunately, the fleeting beauty eventually comes to an end. When the last strand of afterglow is pulled beyond the horizon, night inevitably falls.

Subsequently, bright moonlight and twinkling stars make a grand appearance, continuing to compose the unique beauty of this world. Cycles repeat...

Actually, if you observe carefully, beauty is everywhere in the world, and it requires personal discovery and appreciation.

Under the moonlight, Wang Miaomiao slowly walked away from the rooftop, returning to her dorm room in disappointment.

When he left last time, he promised to try to come back for her birthday. Sigh... it seems futile. This is the helplessness of being a soldier and a military spouse.

Wang Miaomiao listlessly took out her drawing book and started doodling...

"Knock, knock, knock" She did not know how long it had been when a knock on the door startled her awake. Wang Miaomiao stood up abruptly, feeling tense, and quickly walked to open the door.

"Miao Miao, I’m back." Jiang Yan, still covered in travel dust, opened his arms with a smile.

Wang Miaomiao was overjoyed. Her body acted independently of her mind as she instinctively leaped forward into his embrace.

"Why did you come back so late... I thought you couldn’t make it... Have you had dinner?" Wang Miaomiao checked the time. It was already half past eight.

"I’ve eaten. I almost couldn’t make it this time. The car broke down halfway, which delayed me a bit, but I managed to get back in time." Jiang Yan explained and led her towards the kitchen, "It’s your birthday today; let me make a bowl of birthday noodles for you."

"Sure..." Wang Miaomiao followed him to the kitchen excitedly, once again enjoying the fruits of Squad Leader Chen’s labor.

The man donned in military uniform, wearing an apron, rolled the dough and pulled the noodles with fluid and graceful movements. The water in the pot was already boiling; the noodles went in...

Soon after, a bowl of fragrant spring noodles was ready and placed before Wang Miaomiao.

"Eat up; with birthday noodles, you’ll live a long life."

"Thank you, let’s eat together." Wang Miaomiao got another pair of chopsticks and handed them to him.

"Alright..."

They shared a bowl of noodles, occasionally bumping heads, the touch of skin bringing them even closer.

With the noodles in their stomachs, warmth spread through them.

Jiang Yan seized the moment to take out a small box and opened it, revealing an anklet, "Here’s your gift; will you let me put it on you?" He had prepared it for a long time. It wasn’t just an ordinary anklet; it contained the latest tracker.

Jiang Yan did not hide its special feature; there was also an instruction manual inside, which Wang Miaomiao perused with great interest.

Then, she resolutely wore it. The tracker, when not activated, is just a regular anklet.

Wang Miaomiao didn’t have the thought that... giving something to track her implied confinement or surveillance. No such idea...

She was more than eager to embrace such high-tech, so why would she think otherwise?

Seeing her happily accept and wear it, Jiang Yan couldn’t help but let out a heartfelt, joyful laugh.

Hand in hand, they strolled under the moonlight, digesting their food, and shared everything about their lives over the past ten days, not missing a single detail, engaging in idle chat.

"By the way, your brother Jia Bao, my brother-in-law performed very well in the army; he got third place overall in the last skills competition." Jiang Yan recalled encountering former subordinates during this mission and listening to their stories about Wang Jia Bao. He had underestimated that kid before, but Gangzi was right; he indeed was one of the rare outstanding soldiers.

"That’s great; the kid has a promising future." Wang Miaomiao couldn’t help but remark.

"In September, the army will start a new round of selecting outstanding soldiers again." Jiang Yan seemed a bit troubled, "Jia Bao might be selected for special forces training..."

Wang Miaomiao was taken aback and asked, "Would he be selected as a special forces soldier? This... my parents probably wouldn’t agree."

"Yes, it also depends on his qualifications and efforts. There are plenty of outstanding soldiers in the army; he might not even get selected." Jiang Yan reassured and suggested, "How about you call your parents tomorrow and see what they think? If they are truly unwilling, I could put in a word to avoid his selection. I have no say if he gets selected, but if he doesn’t, I can intervene."

"This..." Wang Miaomiao hesitated. After all, it was Wang Jia Bao’s own life. Is it right for them to make decisions without considering his wishes?

Especially since informing the parents... there’s no need to ask; they certainly won’t agree.

After much contemplation, Wang Miaomiao said, "I think we should let him decide for himself. We shouldn’t interfere too much in his life."

"Alright, I’ll go with what you say." Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief; he didn’t wish to do such a thing, hindering someone’s future, no matter the reason, it should never happen.

However, when it comes to the in-laws... sigh... it’s fine as long as nothing happens, but it would be difficult to explain if something does.

"Actually, I don’t wish for Jia Bao to always serve in the army. Once the college entrance exams resume, I hope he’ll go to college." Wang Miaomiao mentioned her past wish, though unsure if Jia Bao still wanted to follow her suggested path...

Jiang Yan was a bit surprised; he didn’t know she had this plan, nor did he know when the college entrance exams would reopen.
