Chapter 71: Of Course, I Cherish You

Because of the hug just now, the feelings between them deepened further. Lu Ye tightly held Gu Yan’s hand. Although it was very cold, his palms were beginning to sweat.

It wasn’t nervousness but excitement.

Nevertheless, his face remained serious.

People dating in this era didn’t spend their time shopping, watching movies, or having a meal together. They had less of a chance to visit amusement parks either. At most, they would stroll along the gardens.

Even so, Gu Yan was already very satisfied that the two of them could walk together and talk.

She couldn’t wait to marry Lu Ze immediately.

In this life, she wasn’t going to let go of the hands of the man she missed out on in her past life.

“You’re going to send your application to First Empire Academy?” Lu Ze squeezed his girlfriend’s hand. It really felt great.

However, his expression was stern. “If you haven’t attended the Primary Academy, then you need to make a contribution in order to pass the requirements from the Special Training Division. It has to be at least a second-grade contribution or above.”

As Gu Yan was part of the Logistics Department squad, this was rather difficult for her. She might as well become a member of the Arts Department and participate in some large-scale performance. There would be an opportunity if she did well.

Gu Yan wasn’t able to do this special training in her past life since Gu Moli took her spot.

She furrowed her brows a bit.

“Is there no other way?”

Zhang Lan stopped her from studying before. She said that it was a waste of money and knowing a few words was enough for a girl.

She couldn’t be an influential figure in the future by then.

Despite this, Zhang Lan still used the money she earned from being a caretaker to support Gu Moli in studying.

Many people could find a decent job after being a basic soldier and switching careers.

Both Guo Rou and Lin Xiaoyu had already graduated from the Primary Academy. The experience of being a foundation soldier was purely to train them.

Lu Ye couldn’t bear to see his little girlfriend frown. He reached out his hand and smoothened her brows.

“It’s fine if you don’t study in the First Empire Academy, I can support you…”

“Lu Ye!” Gu Yan interrupted. “Do you like me?”

Lu Ye was taken aback for a moment due to her tone. He was shocked by the boldness of his girlfriend, but he reacted faster.

“Of course, I cherish you!”

“Then, if I was just an ordinary village girl with no ambitions, would you still like me?”

“No matter what you’re like, I still like you!”

Although Lu Ye replied rapidly without hesitation, Gu Yan still looked down.

She knew Lu Ye’s character. He meant it when he said he liked her no matter what she was like.

He was so naïve. ‘Sigh’

It was because of this that Gu Yan wanted to work harder so she could match Lu Ye better.

Moreover, if she didn’t go back there in this life, that would just make Bai Weiyang happier!

She had been bidding her time until she could return again to deal with Bai Weiyang and tear off her hypocritical mask!

All the sufferings Bai Weiyang made her experience in the previous life, she must return them back, one by one!

Seeing the little angel stop talking, Lu Ye shivered as the night wind blew. He suddenly felt a little anxious in his heart.

He only knew that he liked Gu Yan now, but up to what degree and why he liked her so much weren’t something he thought deeply about.

Still, there was one thing he was very certain of. That was, ‘How could he let his woman be sad?’

Lu Ye said, “If you must study at the First Empire Academy, there’s still a way. That is, after you’ve been a foundation soldier for a year, you can go and apply to study at the Primary Academy. By then, you just need to ask your captain for a recommendation letter. Thereafter, you can participate in the Cosmic Alliance Exam from there.”

Gu Yan’s bright eyes dimmed down again.

This was no different from her past life. It was just two years less.

“One year of being a foundation soldier and then three years at the Primary Academy…” Gu Yan shook her head. It was too long.

She really wanted to punish Bai Weiyang. Her hands were itching.

In the end, Lu Ye stretched out three fingers and waved them, saying, “You’re not going to be a first-grader. You go straight to the third grade. Of course, other than your captain’s recommendation letter, you still need to take a test. Only once you pass that test can you go to the Cosmic Alliance Exam with the third-grade students.”

Gu Yan’s eyes lit up. “Really?”
