As time passed, Hila pondered in silence. Han Xiao waited with a smile on his face; he was in no hurry.
After quite some time, Hila slowly breathed out.
"I choose to be independent."
Han Xiao's brows rose. "Alright, then I shall have Sylvia…"
Before he finished, Hila cut him off and added, "But not now."
Han Xiao's face twitched. Seeing the teasing look in her eyes, he felt funny and speechless.
Kiddo, you dare tease me?
If you enjoy not finishing your sentences, why not go write a book?
Hila sighed before speaking from the bottom of her heart.
"In the past, I lacked a sense of security. I always wanted to keep up with you, so my only goal was to become stronger and stronger till I had enough power to protect myself. Now that I'm finally a Beyond Grade A and can protect myself in most situations, I haven't really thought about what I should do next. So, I might as well stay in the army for now. If I change my mind in the future, I'll think about it by then."
