Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don’t Mess Around! Chapter 1419 - Building Castles in the Air

Chapter 1419: Building Castles in the Air

The bright red flag on the flag-raising platform fluttered in the wind. The flag raiser stood upright beside the flagpole while the two flag bearers stood guard with steel guns in their hands.

Ye Zhifan directed his wife and daughter to sit on his left and right sides. He looked around and saw the young and energetic figure. Then, he looked at his daughter. He never felt that his family was worse than other people. He sighed softly and said to Ye Ying, “Ten years of practice for one minute on stage. Ye Ying, you must learn from them.”

“Dad, when I enter the military unit, I will not embarra.s.s you.” Ye Ying clenched her jaw and tried to hide her uneasiness with a poker face. However, she was doing it too forcibly and seemed stiff and restrained on the contrary.

Ye Zhifan saw this and sighed internally.

She didn’t reflect on her inadequacies at all. When she realized her shortcomings, not only did she bite off more than she could chew, but she also liked… liked building castles in the air.

“Yingying, it’s a different matter whether you enter the military unit or not. I mean for you to learn from them.”

No matter what, she was still his daughter. He had to educate her and not give up.

Ye Zhifan patiently explained, “In the past, you liked to say that Ye Jian was inferior to you in every aspect. Now, look at the people below. Look at their aura. Seeing them is akin to seeing Ye Jian.”

“Yingying, don’t you realize the difference between you and Ye Jian? Don’t you realize that you can’t be compared to Ye Jian?”

Ye Ying’s face turned pale. She clenched her fists subconsciously.

“I can tell you very clearly now that you are indeed not as good as Ye Jian. In the past, you were outstanding. That’s all in the past. People need to look forward. You are still in the same position and think that you are better than Ye Jian. In reality, Ye Jian has already surpa.s.sed you.”

On-the-spot preaching was more impactful than factual preaching. Ye Ying felt her breathing getting heavier as she faced the rows of students who were standing upright like pine trees. It was as if her entire body was entangled in a spider web. The more she struggled, the more helpless she was.

Sun Dongqing was furious. Taking into account her surroundings, she gritted her teeth and defended her daughter. “Ye Zhifan, is there a father like you? Look at how frightened Yingying is!”

“Don’t compare Ye Jian with Yingying. She’s nothing in my eyes! She’s not even fit to carry Yingying’s shoes!”

Every time he wanted to reprimand Ye Jian, Sun Dongqing would be the first one to refute him. Ye Zhifan was furious. He lowered his tone and chided, “If you have the guts, find Ye Jian later. Do you dare to let her carry Yingying’s shoes?”

“…” Sun Dongqing was speechless. How would she dare? She didn’t even dare to say it in front of her!

Ye Zhifan scoffed, “Do you see that, Ye Ying? This is your mother’s capacity! She’s good at talking! If you learn this ability from your mother, even ten Ye Ying’s can’t compare to one Ye Jian.”

Ye Ying’s face turned pale.

After a while, she said in a soft voice, “Mom, Dad, stop quarreling. We came to look for Ye Jian today, not to quarrel.” Ten Ye Ying’s were not as good as one Ye Jian… Was she that bad?

She didn’t believe him. She wasn’t convinced. She was even more unjustified!

How could she, Ye Ying, be worse than Ye Jian? How could she be worse than her?

She glared at the front. When she unwittingly glanced at the flag-raising platform, Ye Ying suddenly stood up. She saw… a familiar figure. A figure that she wanted to scold even in her dreams. A figure that was torturing her day and night.
