Chapter 98 Persuasion
That very night, Xi Hua took the orchid home to care for it. To prevent the sunlight on the balcony from being too intense, she specially hung up a black shading cloth.
Xi Hua finally managed to settle the orchids, only to realize how late it was. She exclaimed in surprise and quickly pushed her daughter, who had been helping her tend the flower shed, back into the house.
"Look how busy I am, I've even lost track of time! Honey, go to sleep now. Even though there's no training tomorrow, you still need to get up early!"
"Mom... don't rush, I have something to talk to you about." Xi Yu stopped and gently pulled Xi Hua to sit on the sofa.
"What's wrong?" Xi Hua asked, holding her daughter's soft hand with a slight smile.
Xi Yu gazed into her eyes and slowly said, "After graduation, I want to go to the capital and study at a military academy there."
Xi Hua's smile froze instantly. She moved her lips, but couldn't utter a single word.
After a long while, she finally calmed down, forced a smile, and asked, "Xiaoyu, why did you suddenly want to go to military school?"
"For a better future." Xi Yu smiled gently, stroking the back of her hand to comfort her, "Mom, I've grown up now, I can protect you."
Xi Hua's thousand words were silenced by her daughter's words. She was happy that her daughter wanted to protect her, but joining the army...
"I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, as long as An Changhai doesn't try to get my attention, I won't contact him." She blinked.
Xi Hua was amused by her, reached out and pinched her pert little nose, and gently scolded, "That's your father, how can you call him by his name?"
Xi Hua comes from a family with strict upbringing. Although the family has declined, they cannot simply abandon their manners.
Xi Yu stuck out her tongue, not taking it to heart. To her, she only had her mother; even the original owner of this body had never regarded An Changhai as her father.
Xi Hua shook her head indulgently, no longer correcting her daughter. After a moment of silence, she asked again, "Are you really sure?"
"Yes." Xi Yu nodded firmly.
In the end, Xi Hua compromised. She knew that the future belonged to her daughter, and even as her mother, she could not control it.
Once the path has been decided, it's time to intensify training.
Since Xi Yu has made up her mind, she must achieve it in the shortest possible time!
Military academies in the capital city do not have an academic year system, but only a rank system. As long as you can be promoted to the rank of intermediate sergeant or above during the annual end-of-year assessment, you can graduate and then be assigned to a suitable corps or logistics system.
Therefore, the study period at a military academy can be one year or three years. If a student cannot graduate within three years, they will be automatically expelled.
Xi Yu must strive to graduate within a year! After all, she still needs to stay in the First Legion for three years to fulfill her promise to Yan San.
Now that she has the Cloud Crystal Stone, she can also make her own potions to enhance her physique. I believe that half a year will be enough for her to take a big step forward!
When we returned to school, the teacher happened to hand out a college application form to each student.
During her break, Fang Qianyou pulled Xi Yu aside to discuss a way out.
"Sixiang University in City B is also good. I heard that they major in technology. But my favorite is Baiyan University in City Z. It's a very famous academic institution! It's just that my GPA is a bit low... I didn't reach the passing grade."
Fang Qianyou went through each university in turn, her mood fluctuating between joy and sorrow. She couldn't make a decision for a long time because the universities she wanted to attend were either too far away or had insufficient average scores, which troubled her greatly.
