Chapter 1570: A Celibate
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
If they remained as teenagers forever, there was nothing to be worried about. They would not meet each other on the front lines, and they embarked on missions at different places. However, the more they infringed on international relationships, the harder it was to manage.
Unless he or Mu Yuan gave up their military uniform, they would have to end their relationship eventually.
Otherwise, they could not even be friends any more.
Rationally, Jack understood these matters. However, he had always been indulging in his feelings.
If he did not make a resolution, it would be harder for Mu Yuan to leave. He could not bear it.
National matters were different.
If Mu Yuan’s enemy caught hold of this, his reputation would be ruined. His entire family would be criticized alongside Mu Yuan, and he might even have to shoulder the accusation of being a national traitor.
Although they were no longer in a very conservative society, there were some deep-rooted values that people held.
Jack laughed bitterly. It would be fine if their countries were allies.
However, they were enemies!
When Mu Yuan arrived, Jack smoked a cigarette. The smoky smell was quite strong, causing Mu Yuan to frown slightly and look around. As a special forces agent, he would always observe his surroundings carefully.
This was the backside of a business district. It was relatively silent like a quiet haven in the noisy district.
“Are you meeting someone?”
Jack nodded and reached his hands out. “Little Yuan, come here!”
Mu Yuan walked over, patted his hand, and sat down beside him. He took the cigarette that Jack just lit, placed it in his mouth, and inhaled deeply like an addict. The taste of tobacco suppressed the restless thoughts brewing in his mind.
“Who are you meeting?” asked Mu Yuan casually
Jack smiled. “Someone familiar.”
He did not ask anymore questions. Jack looked at his back. Although it was a hot day, Mu Yuan wore a black jacket and a black sleeveless shirt. He heard that his back had been beaten until flesh and blood mingled with each other. Ye Ling even sent a photograph to him.
He had seen all sorts of injuries. He had even seen intestines flowing out after being hit by a bomb. But Mu Yuan was different. His injury was also different.
“Is it still painful?”
“Not anymore,” said Mu Yuan. “My Dad was harsh. My Mom tried a lot of methods to nourish my body. I don’t even look like an injured patient. I was so nourished that I looked radiant.”
He tried to say it in a jovial manner.
Jack said, “You told your family?”
Mu Yuan shook his head. “I didn’t tell them, nor did I deny anything. Anyway, they know it themselves.”
No one would expose the truth. Mu Yuan did not plan to give up his military uniform. It was a responsibility that he had been shouldering since he was born. It was not something that could be put down so easily. He could not give it up and let his older brother go to war and protect the family on his own. There were only a few people in the Mu Family in their generation. They had to depend on the two brothers.
Mu Yuan was clear about his thoughts. He was unwilling to do anything that went against his heart, so he remained a celibate. Although this affected his future development slightly, he would strive to rack up on military achievements to compensate for this flaw. That was enough.
In Jack’s case, he was less uptight. The situation outside the country was different from the situation inside. He was not under as much pressure.
“Have you thought about the future?” asked Jack.
At that moment, an unpleasant thought emerged in Mu Yuan’s heart. However, as he thought about it again, Jack was more mature and mentally stronger than him. If he did not have everything under control, he would not have agreed from the start.
He should be fine.
“I have thought about it,” said Mu Yuan. “I’ll be a celibate. I’ll serve the country and look for you during the holidays.”
