Reborn in the 80s: She Rewrites Life with Radiance

Chapter 265 - 264: About to be Discharged

"Is he applying for discharge?"Yang Lin glanced at the closed door, then at her mother, and suddenly said.

"Probably not, right? His family lives in the village, and life is tough. Being in the military is surely better than going back home."

Yang’s mother kept telling herself that Chen Jun wouldn’t discharge so easily.

What troubled her more was if Chen Jun really wanted to leave the army.

Then Yang Lin would definitely want a divorce from him.

Although, given their current state, she felt a divorce would be better.

But she had discussed this with Yang Lin before, and Yang Lin’s answer was not to divorce.

This time, while Yang Lin was hospitalized, she didn’t bring up the idea of divorce.

But from Yang Lin’s demeanor, there was still no sign of her determination to divorce Chen Jun.

As a mother, she couldn’t understand what Yang Lin was thinking.

"Maybe it’s because this matter has been too impactful."

Yang Lin said softly.

She couldn’t describe what she was feeling now.

It seemed a bit joyful, yet there was more a sense of liberation, but also some confusion about the future.

"Xiao Lin, Mom thinks maybe you should just end this marriage with Chen Jun."

Yang’s mother spoke cautiously.

"Okay."

Only she didn’t expect Yang Lin to answer her like that, she could hardly believe it.

"Are you saying you’re willing to divorce?"

Yang’s mother confirmed again.

"Yes, Mom, at the beginning, Chen Jun and I got together because of small selfish desires in our hearts. Things have reached this point; there’s little meaning in continuing. But Mom, if I get divorced, I’ll have to fend for myself, and you might also suffer quite a bit."

Yang Lin seemed to have suddenly come to a realization.

"Alright, if you’re willing to divorce, we’ll discuss the future slowly."

Yang’s mother just wanted Yang Lin to divorce, so they could live well again.

During this time, she had felt the warmth and coldness of human nature.

But for her daughter Yang Lin’s sake, she was willing to put aside her pride.

Yang Lin looked at her mother in front of her, noticing how much her hair had turned white.

She suddenly felt a sting in her nose; ever since her father had his accident, she had been focused on her own matters.

Sometimes she thought her mother might be very sad, but still, she didn’t do anything to comfort her.

During this time, her mother had been worrying about her affairs.

"Mom, I won’t be as willful as before. Let’s live a good life from now on."

Yang Lin hugged Yang’s mother and started to cry.

"Yes, yes, we’ll live a good life."

Yang’s mother had teary eyes as she gently patted Yang Lin’s back to comfort her.

After returning to the army, Chen Jun submitted his discharge application.

Perhaps this was the outcome the superiors wanted.

So the process went quickly.

Within a few days, the discharge notice was handed to him.

Chen Jun sat alone in the room, looking at the notice in his hand.

Even though he kept telling himself it was his choice, when he actually received it.

He felt really sad.

Initially, due to family difficulties and a dream of a military career.

He wanted to make a mark in the army.

Didn’t expect it to end so bleakly.

Chen Jun couldn’t help but cry out loud.

People passing by his door, upon hearing his cries, shook their heads.

The night after he received the notice, Chen Jun found Ye Hao.

"Captain Ye, can you have a drink with me?"

Chen Jun said to Ye Hao.

Ye Hao looked at him for a long time, then left the office first.

Seeing his reaction, Chen Jun knew he agreed.

The two walked one after the other towards the camp gate.

Then suddenly, Ye Hao stopped.

"You go ahead, I need to let my family know."

Chen Jun paused for a moment, then nodded.

He stood there watching Ye Hao quickly make his way home.

It was then that Chen Jun realized, sometimes people are indeed different. He had been married twice.

Yet he never thought to inform his partner when he had something to do.

"Why are you back so early today?"

Gu Yi looked at the hasty return of Ye Hao, somewhat puzzled.

"Chen Jun’s discharge notice came through, he just asked if I’d have a drink with him. I thought, no matter what happened before, we might not have a chance to be together again, so I agreed to it. I worried you’d be concerned, so I came back to let you know."

Ye Hao hurriedly explained to Gu Yi.

"Alright, I understand, you go ahead."

Gu Yi understood Ye Hao’s meaning, he wasn’t only afraid she’d worry, but also that she’d be upset.

But she wasn’t that petty, was she?

"Well, I’m off then, I might be back a bit late tonight."

With that, Ye Hao went out the door.

Chen Jun was lost in thought when he saw Ye Hao striding back towards him.

"All set, let’s go."

Ye Hao said and led the way forward.

Arriving at the restaurant, Ye Hao ordered a plate of fried peanuts, a plate of spicy pig ears, and a plate of cabbage.

After ordering, the two sat facing each other, neither speaking.

In a moment, the owner brought the three dishes to the table.

"Owner, bring us two bottles of white wine, and two bowls please."

After placing the last dish, Ye Hao said to the owner.

The owner agreed and quickly went to fetch the wine and bowls.

Ye Hao filled their bowls halfway with alcohol.

Chen Jun picked up his bowl and downed it in one go.

Ye Hao watched him without saying a word.

Just poured him another bowl after.

"Any plans for the future?"

After refilling the drinks, Ye Hao asked.

"Thinking about divorcing Yang Lin first, we’ve been estranged for a while. With my discharge, we surely can’t stay together."

Chen Jun said somewhat self-mockingly.

Ye Hao didn’t respond.

Ye Hao felt that with his previous temper, he would never have come out to drink with Chen Jun.

It seemed that after going through the misunderstanding with Gu Yi, and now having Ye Huan.

He considered things more fully than before.

As Chen Jun drank the second bowl, Ye Hao raised his own.

"Today might be our last time drinking together in this life. Normally, I should be drinking with you till we drop, but I have a kid at home, so I can only do it partially, but do as you wish."

Ye Hao took a sip after speaking.

Chen Jun found himself envying Ye Hao suddenly.

Saying what was on his mind openly.

Plus, his luck always seemed extraordinary. Looking at Ye Hao in front of him, Chen Jun thought Ye Hao already possessed everything he wanted.

"I genuinely envy you, and I’m quite jealous too."

Ye Hao watched Chen Jun, expecting him to continue, but Chen Jun just picked up his bowl and started drinking.

"Captain Ye, I asked you out today because I need a favor; I’ll be looking for a place in the city over the next few days. Before I find a place, I can’t move all my things."

Chen Jun didn’t care about Ye Hao’s reaction, he just stated his purpose.

He actually knew Ye Hao would definitely agree, but he still hoped for a refusal from Ye Hao’s mouth.

That way he could convince himself that it was because Ye Hao was so unsympathetic that he did everything before.

"Okay, I’ll let the logistics department know."

As soon as Ye Hao spoke, Chen Jun felt deflated like a punctured ball.

Alright, he admitted he lost.
