Chapter 735 Happy Memories at the JC Military Academy (Part Two)


    When Daisy arrived at the Westin Western Restaurant, Zemo hadn''t shown up yet. Considering that


    they hadn''t seen each other for years, she deliberately reserved a small private room. This way, they


    wouldn''t be disrupted by the surroundings while catching up with each other.


    Zemo left his ce and headed for the restaurant at an early time. But because he wasn''t familiar with


    S City, he spent a long time finding his way. Additionally, it was the rush hour. He ended up arriving half


    an hourte at the restaurant.


    "Sorry, I''mte," He immediately apologized as soon as he approached the private room.


    "It''s alright. I haven''t been here for a long time. Take a seat, please." Daisy had a beautiful smile,


    especially for people who rarely saw it. Her smile was extremely bright and captivating, like the most


    colorful rainbow in the sky. A person could get intoxicated by her smile.


    "It seems the military uniform suits you better. Two bars and three stars, a colonel! That''s amazing!


    You''re doing quite well in the army." Looking at the handsome military uniform on Daisy, Zemo couldn''t


    help twisting in pain in his heart. Bing a soldier had been his dream when he was young, but he


    couldn''t achieve it anymore. He could do nothing but wallow in sadness at his failed dream.


    "Zemo, are you okay?" Daisy asked softly, seeing Zemo''s bright smile suddenly dim made her worry.


    "Oh, it''s nothing! I was just thinking what a cruel twist of fate. If I hadn''t left JC Military Academy that


    year, could I have attained the same achievements you have?" Zemo held back his sadness. Although


    many years had passed, his dream of bing an excellent soldier never changed.


    "Of course, you would. You''d definitely do better than me. You always bested me in special training, so


    your achievements would undoubtedly be greater than mine." Daisy had always been curious why


    Zemo left the academy all of a sudden. What on earth happened to him? Whatever it was, it must have


    been quite serious because he didn''t even say goodbye. She wanted to know what happened because


    she was worried about him.


    "Don''t be so modest! You were the most capable female student in the eyes of the instructors. Every


    one of them wanted to have you in their team. How could Ipete with you?"


    Everyone in the academy knew that Daisy Ouyang was the most excellent student of their batch. At the


    beginning, she rankedst when she entered the academy. No one imagined that she would rise up the


    ranks to the top. But she dedicated herself to her training. All the blood, sweat, and tears she shed was


    a testament to her great determination. Other people might be oblivious to her efforts, but Zemo knew.


    After all, he had trained with her the entire time and encouraged her to improve.


    "You are as modest as ever. Well, how''s everything? You look good. It seems that you''re living a happy


    life." Daisy sat upright as a soldier always did. Perhaps due to habit, she did not feel her muscles stiffen


    from the position.


    "I''m doing fine. I''m managing a family business. But I basically just inherited it, so there is nothing worth


    showing off." Zemo smiled bitterly. He didn''t want to be involved in the family business. But because he


    was born into it, he had no choice but to yield to reality.


    "Most bigpanies are managed by second generations nowadays. The most important thing is what


    you will do with your identity. You either enjoy life and squander the money your family had earned, or

    you improve the business and lead it into a new field. You still have options. And you chose thetter


    one, didn''t you?"


    With regards to rich heirs, Daisy could name a lot from the people around her, such as Duke and


    Belinda, not to mention the childish man in her home. All of them were typical rich heirs, weren''t they?


    She often saw scandals on the news about a rich man bullying others, or some rich woman behaving


    inappropriately. But her husband and friends stayed away from these scandals. This was the reason


    why she gained a new understanding on rich heirs.


    "I''m still trying, but it''s just a small difference. I don''t think I can make any impressive progress. After all,


    I didn''t learn this in the past. Sometimes, it''s hard for me to operate things smoothly." Zemo took a sip


    of water. A son usually inherited his father''s career, which was what most sons fought for in rich


    families. But he was not one of them. He had no desire to seed his father. All he wanted was very


    simple. He only wished to do things he liked, which included being a soldier. But obviously, he had


    missed his chance. There was nothing but regret in his heart. He could never get rid of the


    disappointment he felt. But in that situation, he had to leave and it was his responsibility.


    "You''re doing great now. If I were in your shoes, I don''t think I could do it." She couldn''t help feeling


    overwhelmed at the thought of the countless numbers on Edward''sputer when she stood behind


    him earlier.


    "Sometimes, people who are forced to do something can be experts. One would never know his


    limit or how far he could go if he doesn''t do his best. Don''t look down upon yourself. You don''t know if


    your achievement would go beyond your imagination if you were in my position."


    Zemo smiled as he looked at the woman opposite him. He never imagined that he would be a


    businessman when he was in the academy. But now that he was, he was doing quite well in the field.


    People would never know if they could achieve a certain thing or not until they devoted themselves to


    it.


    "Me? Forget about it. I am simple-minded. People like me would only be good at physical work. As for


    work that requires the brain, I wouldn''t be good at it." Daisy waved her hand. She couldn''t imagine


    herself as part of the business circle. The thought was too absurd for her. She had no interest in it at


    all. And even if she had, there was no way she would be an excellent businesswoman because she


    was terrible at math. She knew her limits, no one was an expert in every field.


    "I don''t think that your brain is not clever enough, but that you''re not exercising it. If you weren''t clever,


    how could you earn those high scores in the special training courses? Did you cheat?" Zemo teased.


    His tone was exactly simr to the way Edward spoke to her when he teased her.


    "If I cheated, does that mean you did too? Don''t forget it, you sat next to me every time back then." So


    many years had passed. But when they recalled their training days in the JC Military Academy, all the


    memories were still so fresh. It was as if they all just happened yesterday.


    "Don''t try to get me involved in this! I was also one of the excellent students in the eyes of the


    instructors at that time. How could I do that kind of illegal thing with you?" When Zemo had idle


    moments, he always wondered if he and Daisy would remain close if the ident hadn''t urred that


    year. But there were no "what ifs" in real life, so he would never know.


    "If you brag to others, they might be fooled. But you are talking to me now. Do you think you can fool


    me? When we were undergoing field training, who was the guy that put honey on the instructor''s


    clothes in secret? Our instructor was covered with ants when he went to sleep that night!"


    Reminiscing about the past always brought so much happiness. Although there were also difficult times


    in the past, they would always be ovee by happiness, so it wasn''t so bad. All the difficulties and


    struggles became irrelevant, leaving unforgettable beautiful memories in their wake.


    "Come on! Who was the one that sprinkled pepper in the instructor''s water? Our instructor choked


    afterwards. He had to suddenly run around to ease the pain. Everyone was punished because of you.


    We had to do 30ps in the training field. By the time we were done, we were so exhausted that we


    could hardly eat our meal." Zemo shook his head. Everyone knew that Daisy was a cold and distant


    girl. No one would expect that such an aloof person also had a mischievous side.


    "If I''m not mistaken, that was the most severe punishment we received. You were a true friend, you


    received the punishment along with me." There was nothing but happiness on Daisy''s face. At the


    thought, she realized that she had made so many good friendships at the academy. But as time passed


    by, they gradually lost contact with each other.


    "Well, I had to. After all, you were the only girl in our ss. Of course, we would all protect you." As a


    matter of fact, there had been other female students in their ss. But they couldn''t handle the


    gruelling training, so they transferred to less difficult courses. Daisy was the only girl who endured


    everything and remained in the ss.


    "Talking about the old days makes me so nostalgic," Daisy sighed. There were not many students in


    their ss, no more than 20. Because of this, they were all close and got along with each other quite


    well. asional conflicts were inevitable, but they rarely happened. Generally, everyone was on good


    terms with one another.


    "Oh, definitely. Same here. But I''m also curious about the man you were pining over back then. Was he


    the guy I saw that night?" Zemo was reluctant to ept the fact that the man he saw back then was


    Daisy''s love. But he had to admit that the man was extraordinary both in appearance and


    temperament.


    "Yes, he is. I didn''t expect that my dream coulde true, but there was an unexpected turn of events.


    I ended up bing one of the heroines in those cliche romance novels. Although the journey was


    Edward. Looking at her was very gratifying, and one couldn''t help getting attracted to Daisy when she


    disyed such happiness.
