Supporting Role’s Aura

Arc 1.40: Cry of Envy

—

When Ye You plunged into Du Yao’s arms like a butterfly, those soldiers standing in the distance were watching, feeling so envious that their heart felt like in a tight grip.

Lin Dong stood in the forefront of the soldiers, feeling rueful in his heart. Back then when Du Yao looked at Ye You on the stage and said that he was going to marry him, he still felt that Du Yao might not be able to succeed, but the two were actually really got married smoothly. Seeing Du Yao successfully embraced the beauty, it was impossible to say that he was not envious, but he also felt that only Du Yao can raise a delicate canary like Ye You. So, envy was envy, people like them didn’t have the courage and ability to raise canaries.

Lin Dong actually1Original text 林□□然, I assume it might be 林东竟然(Lin Dong jing ran); Lin Dong actually heard the sound of someone sniffing. He turned his head and saw that the soldier standing next to him was crying. He was surprised and confused, and scolded: “What are you crying for? What’s wrong?!”

“Deputy Captain…” The soldier rubbed his face and said, “I am really envious. I also want to get married. I also want a wife who I can hugs and care about my well-being2Raw 嘘寒问暖(xū hán wèn nuǎn); to enquire solicitously about sb’s well-being (idiom); to pamper..”

“No matter how envious you are, you don’t have to go as far as to cry?” Lin Dong said.

“Deputy Captain, don’t tell me that you don’t understand our mood?” The soldier at the back clutched his chest and said, “We all want to marry a wife even if it in our dreams. How could we not envy Captain to be able to marry such a good wife? I am so envious that even my heart hurts.”

Lin Dong turned and glanced at the soldier, he said, “That is your stomachache flare up again. Since you have old problem of stomachache, go back and remember to take medicine.”

Lin Dong sighed, patted the shoulder of the soldier next to him, and comforted: “I know you guys are envious, then how could I don’t envy ne? Don’t worry, you will have a wife and so will the baby.”

Lin Dong naturally understood their feelings, but what can he do even if he understand? This kind of thing, the more one understand, the more one would felt envious, and the more uncomfortable it will be, moreover this envy also useless3Raw 羡慕不来(xian mu bu lai); envy{from Google translate). As usual I look for other sites again. It means that when you envy someone but you know you will not be able to get what that person have, just like these soldiers. Even though they envy DY but they know it was useless. My understanding of these words are really shallow. Orz

“When will us have it?” a soldier asked hopefully, as if Lin Dong said when they could have it, then that was when they would really have it.

“I don’t even know when I can have a wife, how can I know when is it that you can have a wife. I’m just comforting you guys, it’s enough for you to just listen, why are you have so many questions.” Lin Dong said angrily .

“Then, do we have any hope to find someone like sister-in-law4Raw 嫂子(sao zi); older brother’s wife,
sister-in-law.…” asked another soldier.

“Stop having such an impossible beautiful dream, better think of something more realistic ba.” Lin Dong interrupted the soldier.

Thus, the soldiers finally fell silent. In fact, they knew very well in their hearts that if they wanted to find someone like Ye You, they couldn’t even dream of it, and it was even more impossible in reality.

Ye You hugged Du Yao while talking, not only the soldiers onlookers that envied them, but also the female and ger of the Literally and Art soldiers that standing not far away. Who doesn’t want to marry an outstanding and handsome man like Du Yao? But what’s the use of just thinking? The more they think about it, the more they envied.

When Ye Chen saw that Du Yao was here, he thought Du Hao was also here, but when he looked at the group of soldiers and didn’t see anyone coming here again, he was a little disappointed. Originally, he didn’t need to envy Ye You, but as he was watching them, he couldn’t help but feel envious. If he could choose, he would of course also choose Du Yao,  it would be great if Du Yao could show up earlier. Now no matter how much he envy him, it was useless. He can only comforted himself in his heart, Du Hao was no worse than anyone else, and will surpassed Du Yao sooner or later. He himself was also the envy of many people.

It wasn’t that Du Hao didn’t want to come, but the gap between the two squadrons and Du Yao’s squadrons were too big. Now they were being trained ruthlessly. They were not as carefree as Du Yao and his team, still had time can come here to watch the performance.

Being watched by so many people, Ye You didn’t notice because he was too happy to see Du Yao. Du Yao had noticed, but he didn’t care about being watched at all.

“Originally we were able to have a vacation in two days, but we added one dance performance at the last moment. We have to wait a few more days before we can have a vacation. When can you take a vacation?” Ye You asked as he looked at Du Yao.

“It will take some time for me to take a vacation, but these few nights I can go home, and I will drive to the Cultural Regiment to pick you up in the afternoon,” Du Yao said.

“Okay.” Ye You immediately became happier. He smiled and said, “Then I will pack my things and return to the Cultural Regiment.”

“Go.” Du Yao squeezed Ye You’s chin.

Ye You turned and ran to the temporary lounge.

After watching Ye You run into the lounge, Du Yao turned and walked towards the soldiers.

Seeing the envious eyes of the soldiers, Du Yao asked, “Jealous?”

The soldiers nodded neatly.

“Keep being jealous ba.” Du Yao walked away triumphantly.

The soldiers followed him, looking at his back, very jealous that their teeth was itchy.

After returning to the Cultural Regiment, Ye You immediately went back to the dormitory to pack his things, but there was nothing much to packed. It was just some of the documents that Ye Song had people sent to him. He had already read them and wanted to take them back for keeping. After packing up his things, Ye You really had nothing to do, couldn’t be idle, he just began to clean up the dormitory, changing all the duvet covers and sheets.

Ji Wen originally planned to read the book for a while, but Ye You was walking around like that, he really couldn’t concentrated. He could only looked at Ye You’s face, shook his head helplessly and said, “Go look in the mirror ba.”

“Why looking in the mirror?” Ye You asked suspiciously, “Is there anything on my face?”

“You have written four words of ‘Amourous Heart to Ripple5Raw 春心荡漾(chūn xīn dàng yàng); Spring heart. 春心(chūn xīn); amorous feelings; stirrings of love. 荡漾(dàng yàng); to ripple; to undulate.‘ all on your face.” Ji Wen said.

Ye You smiled and said: “We married people’s mood, you unmarried people will not understand.”

“Yeah, if it were before, you would certainly not be so obvious. Now that you are married, you also have no scruples.” Ji Wen sighed and said, “Thinking about it, I’m really envious. Can marry someone you love, it must be a very happy thing? I really want to experience it.”

“As long as your predestined affinity arrives, you can naturally experience it.” Ye You finished everything that he could do. After sitting at the desk for a while, he felt that it was boring to wait for the time to passed, so he just simply drove there to pick up Du Yao.

Because Ye You has been practicing at the Dance team during this period, so he drove away from the Cultural Regiment after he went to give Zhao Yuan prior notice.

Ye You parked the car outside the gate of Du Yao’s squadron. When it was time to rest, soldiers began to walked out one after another. Some of these soldiers went to see their families, and some took advantage of the opportunity to go out and went to the Military Club to relax.

Ye You worried that Du Yao would miss him when he drove out, so he stood outside the car and waited. The soldiers that was passing by were all looked at him and stunned for a moment, then they slowed down involuntarily. Ye You was just standing there, as beautiful as a painting, making people unable to look away. Some of them had already gone far away and were still looking back at him.

Du Yao drove out and saw Ye You was standing at the side of the road. He pulled over the car immediately, then opened the door and got off.

“I’m here to pick you up. Are you surprised? Do you felt unexpected?” Ye You looked at Du Yao and said with a smiled.

As long as Du Yao looked at Ye You’s smile, he felt so content and happy. He walked over to hold Ye You’s hand, lifted up to kissed the back of his hand, he said, “It’s a very pleasant surprise, and unexpected.”

“Then you drive the car back and park it, I will wait for you here.” Ye You said.

“No need.” Du Yao turned his head, saw Lin Dong and a group of soldiers walking out, he called out, and then Lin Dong and the group of soldiers quickly ran towards him.

Du Yao threw the car key to Lin Dong, had him drive the car away, and then helped Ye You open the car door to let him sit in. Ye You smiled at Lin Dong and the others, considered it as saying hello to them and get into the car.

After closing the door, Du Yao walked around to the driver’s seat on the other side and started the car to go home.

Lin Dong and a group of people watched blankly as Du Yao drive the car far away, the envy on their faces was particularly obvious.

“So nice, I also want a wife to come pick me up to go home.”

“Until when shall we wait, only then we can have a wife to come and pick us up?” 6Raw 咱们要等到什么时候，才能有媳妇儿来接呢？This sentence is a bit tricky to translate! In case you guys still confused(bcoz tbh I was also confused and spend a long time pondering over this paragraph), this soldier was asking until when they should wait so that they also can have a wife to come and pick them up.

“Um… sister-in-law is really good-looking, and every time we met him, he seems to be even more beautiful7 As in the original text 漂亮(piào liang); pretty, beautiful. YY is a man, but in this world he’s a ger who can conceived. I think that’s why author use the word pretty or beautiful on YY. Also, there’s 儿媳(er xi) lit. means daughter-in-law. I was in dilemma about this bcoz previously I thought it maybe a typo(?) So I took the liberty and change it to son-in-law. But seeing more and more of these words appear, I know it wasn’t. Same with 嫂子(saozi); sister-in-law. So,  I will just follow what is in the original text..”

“Yeah, how could there be such a good-looking person, as if walking out of a painting.”

“Nonsense, of course he looks good, do you think that the title of The Most Beautiful Art Soldier is for nothing?”

“Sometimes I suspected that sister-in-law may have been drawn by someone that Captain found. Sometimes he look like a spirit8Raw 妖精(yao jing); evil spirit, alluring woman.  I don’t know why DY’s soldiers thought of YY as yao jing , and sometimes he looks like an immortal. In short, he doesn’t look like a mortal.”

“Stop it!” Lin Dong said: “The more you talk, the more it looks like a ghost story. Captain is the most clearest whether sister-in-law is a human being or not, even if the sister-in-law is not a human… that something… Then he is still also our sister-in-law.”

“I, I think, I am being moved9Raw 心动(xin dong); heartbeat, heart rate, (fig.) emotionally affected, aroused (of desire, emotion, interest etc). by sister-in-law, you said, if Captain knew, would he beat me?”

“Don’t worry, there must be a lot if people who is being moved, and Captain can’t beat all of them.” Lin Dong said, “Let’s go.”

Du Yao drove the car, Ye You sat sideways and looked at him. Du Yao has been watched by him for a long time, his heart also became a little hot.

On a relatively quiet section with no people coming and going, Du Yao pulled over the car and hugged Ye You.

After a while, Ye You pushed Du Yao away and said, “If someone passing by, it will be bad to be seen. Let’s go home quickly. You can do whatever you want when we are home.”

“I really can do anything?” Du Yao looked at Ye You and asked seriously.

“Why still so much nonsense, drive quickly.” Ye You blushed and hit Du Yao, then urged him to drive home quickly.

After arriving home, everyone in the family had already eaten dinner. Qin Yuwei asked them why they came back without making a phone call so that the kitchen could help them prepare their meals and they could eat as soon as they got home.

Du Yao said to let the kitchen make something and send it to the room. They went up to take a bath first. Recently, both of them had been very exhausted. They had a good rest after eating, and then he took Ye You back to the room.

After entering the room, Du Yao quickly locked the bedroom door, and immediately pressed Ye You on the bed.

“You said it yourself, I can do anything no matter what.” Du Yao said in Ye You’s ear.

“What else do you want to do?” Ye You asked quietly.

“It’s too late for you to object anyway,” Du Yao said.

    ………………………………………………

Ye You felt that since he fell in love with Du Yao, a small and tender shoot has grown in his heart, which needed to be watered and moisturized frequently to prevent it from drying up. The two hadn’t seen each other for such a long time, and Ye You felt that his body and spirit desperately needed to be moisturized to regain vitality.

And Du Yao felt that he was going crazy because of his longing for Ye You. If he could swallow Ye You into his stomach bit by bit today, like that he would be able to take Ye You with him all the time and both of them wouldn’t have to be separated anymore.

They were newly married couples, and this was a moment where they were young and energetic. After such a period of time that they couldn’t meet each other, naturally they would missed each other very much.

Until midnight, only then the two stopped to hug and rest for a while.

Ye You lay on Du Yao’s chest and asked, “Did you miss me often during this period of time?”

Ye You asked this because as long as his mind was idle, he would think of Du Yao. If Du Yao did not think of him much, isn’t that unfair.

“Isn’t it obvious from what I showed just now?” Du Yao lowered his head and kissed Ye You hard on the face.

Ye You’s face turned even more red.

“Next month, we will start to be assigned to the Combat Legion to perform again, if only can have the same arrangements as last time, how nice would it be.” Ye You said.

“Now your reputation is getting bigger and bigger, surely many other Legion want you to perform. But you don’t have to worry, I will think of a way when that time come.” Du Yao’s scheming and strategy can be used for anything. How could he let go this kind of good opportunity for Ye You to come to his side?

“Well,” Ye You said, “When I go to your Brigade, you don’t stay in the dormitory anymore. You are now married, you are also the Squadron Leader, and have enough rank. You can apply for a separate dormitory housing in the Squadron Family Dormitory. There should be no problem, right?”

“I have already submitted my application. The application approval will come down before you come. In the future you can live there as long as you are free, but I can’t come back and accompany you every day.”

“I definitely understand this. I also can’t go there every day ah, but it will be more convenient like that. When you can’t leave the Squadron, we can also have a chance to meet.”

As the two had enough rest, they hugged and kissed each other again.

The helpers had delivered all the food earlier, but they didn’t eat it.  Moreover they didn’t sleep all night. When the day just brighten, they already got up and drove out.

Du Yao first sent Ye You back to the Cultural Regiment, and then drove back to the Brigade. In the afternoon, Du Yao drove to the Cultural Regiment to pick up Ye You.

They can go home these days. Of course, they can’t skip dinner every day. Qin Yuwei asked the kitchen to help prepare their meals in advance, and when they came back, they would eat dinner first before she let them go back to the room to rest.

When the Literary and Art soldiers were to be assigned to each Combat Legion to performed, as Du Yao said, the soldiers in several regiments wanted Ye You to come and performed. In order to satisfied the wishes of the soldiers, the leaders let the soldiers, besides being happy, also can promoted the enthusiasm, thus, the battle between the leaders of the various regiments for Ye You began.

Ye You was not the first Art soldier to be fight over for his performance, and naturally he will not be the last, but he was definitely the one who has been fight over the most and also the most intense.

After three consecutive of rainy days, it finally cleared. People from the Cultural Regiment walked out to bask in the sun during the noon break.

In just a short time at noon, they had seen the Political Education10Raw 政教(zhèng jiào); church and state, government and education, political education. groups of the three regiments walk into the building of the Cultural Regiment. The recruits felt very puzzled and thought something big was about to happen. Only the veterans who had been in the Cultural Regiment for a long time well aware of why these Political Education group of each regiments came.

“Is there something major happening? Why are all the Political Education members of the Combat Legion coming to the Cultural Regiment at this time? There is also no large-scale performance recently ah?”

“Isn’t this because subgroups are going to be performing in the Combat Legion of Regimental Command again? Of course they are here to send the application form for the performance.”

“Sending the application form to apply for the performance, need the Political Education members came in person? It’s not possible ba?

“They are definitely come here for Ye You. They are all wanted Ye You to perform in their regiment. That’s why the Political Education members came in person to request Ye You to perform, the chance of success is greater ah.”

“Really?! This is really worth to be proud, right? Being fight over by few of the regiments for his performance, has any Art soldier received this treatment before?”

“Of course there have before. Now the Cultural Regiment has an outstanding Literally and Art soldier like Ye You, you will understand after a long time. A scenes like this, you will often see in the future.”

“It’s true that constantly comparing oneself to others will only make one angry. Why can people be so outstanding to this level but I can’t? Really admirable.”

Ye Chen stood with a few people from the Dance team. After hearing the words of the people next to him, he felt that his mood was still stuck in the rainy days before. Today’s bright sunshine did not shine into his heart. He felt that if there were no Ye You, his sunshine would not be blocked, and the person enjoying such treatment would definitely be him.

The three Political Education members were sitting in the office of Head Leader Wu, and each had very sufficient reasons. They would not give in to each other.

In the face of such a scene, Head Leader Wu was already quite calm. Regarding of Ye You’s assignment arrangement, Xu Zhengjiao had actually come to him a few days ago, and these people were a little late. Unless something major happens to those few regiments, the arrangements regarding Ye You will not be change.

Head Leader Wu listened quietly to their reasons, and then talked about his own difficulties as the Head Leader of the Cultural Regiment. Of course, he hopes that Ye You can go to every regiments to performed, but Ye You also can’t □□ method11It’s been censor in the original text □□术(shù); method; technique. So, that’s what we’ve got bcoz I’m not sure about what author wanted to expressed here *Sweat*. It was impossible for him to go to every regiments. Their Cultural Regiment will do the very best to make the most suitable arrangements. Recently, the Congress has repeatedly emphasized the need to manage the army more humanely, not only to improve the treatment of soldiers, but also to care about the state of mind of the soldiers, so Ye You’s own ideas will also be taken into consideration.

After Head Leader Wu calmed down a few Political Education members’ emotions, and no matter how persuasively he sent them away, he didn’t say whether or not he would arranged Ye You to perform in their regiments, but he always emphasized that they would make the most suitable arrangements.

So in the end, Ye You was still assigned to Du Yao’s Brigade.

When the Cultural Regiment’s car drove into the special War Lion Brigade, the soldiers standing in line all were looking forward to it. When they saw Ye You getting off the car, they smiled unconsciously.

Ye You and Du Yao looked at each other, and then couldn’t help but smiled. In the next period of time, they can interacted in close range.

Ye You was still the leader of team one, and Ye Chen was also the leader of team two. After meeting as usual to discuss the schedule of the performance, Ye You and Ye Chen went back to have a meeting with their team members, then Ye You and Du Yao went to the housing he had applied for.

The family area was on the periphery of the Brigade, and there were special guards at the gate. Without a pass, people in the family area cannot enter the Brigade.

Du Yao got a small suite, with one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, of course it was incomparable with their family house, but as long as two people can be together, even if there was only a bed in an empty house, they also will feels it was very sweet. Ye You, who has been spoiled since childhood, had never thought that he would ignored all material requirements because of the happiness in his heart. He used to think that material was the foundation of love and life. Without a good material foundation, no matter how good the feeling was, there will be times when it will die. But now he feels that true love was the foundation of a good life, and material conditions can be created by ability.

Ye You thought, these days he would slowly decorating this place and it will also be a very warm nest.

After Du Yao made the bed, he locked the door of the room, and then lie down on the bed holding Ye You.

    ……………………………………

Ye You sat up from the bed, stretched out his hands to pull the pants and clothes that were thrown aside, and put them on one by one.

Ye You pushed his hand away and said, “Stop making trouble. I have to go and report to the Medical team later. If I am late, I will be gossiped by others. Ye Chen and a few people from the Dance team are watching me now and waiting for me to made a mistake.”

“Is it also a mistake to be late for a bit?” Du Yao also sat up, and one hand holding Ye You’s face and kissed him vigorously before putting on his pants.

“It’s not a big mistake to be late, but nevertheless it can be used by others as a subject for ridicule. I’m not afraid of them talking, but I don’t want them become proud because they felt that they have grasped my actual weakness.” Ye You stood up and said, “I brought some gifts to the soldiers in your squadron. They should be delivered in the afternoon. Remember to ask someone to receive them.”

“What kind of gift?” Du Yao also stood up and asked.

“It’s just some canned meat, high-calorie candies, and some kind of dishes for meals.” Ye You said: “The numbers are not that much. Each of them may only can be divided into one or two for each person. If you have a field training next time or whatever, you can bring it. My brother told me that the sales of these items are too good, and there are too many pre-orders, so I can only send this much.”

Ye You has read the sales report that Ye Song asked someone sent to him. The sales volume of the side dishes meals was so good, and the pre-orders were already reach half a year ahead. Because canned meat was not cheap, most people bought it as gifts for visiting relatives and friends. Generally, the one usually buy it were people with good conditions at home. However, the sales volume was also good and they sell quickly. High-calorie candies were bought by factory workers. Many workers start being hungry before they reach their meal time. They eat one or two pieces of candies to pad the stomach first, just enough to support until mealtime, so the factory directly orders more for workers in large quantities.

Ye You originally wanted to sent more to Du Yao and the soldiers of his squadron. On the day of his and Du Yao’s marriage, they also helped a lot, but Ye Song told him that they really couldn’t provide more. He thought, there was still a long time to come anyway, as long as there was a chance, he will sent more to the soldiers. Or, he can take out money and bought the meat, let the cooks at home come over, and he will instruct the cooks to cook a few good meals for the soldiers to thank them, it was also same.

“There are not much in singularities, but the total number is enough12Raw 单数不多，但是总数却够多了; at first I’m not really sure what’s with these talk of odd and total number. But if we connected with what YY said in previous paragraph, I think what DY means was, even though the gifts YY sent them was not much for each kind, but a total number of several kind was already enough. Remember YY sent them canned meat, candies and some dishes to go with meals.. When they know they will be very happy and thankful. Most of the canned meat you had me bring last time, half of it were given to them, they still said they would spend their own money to buy, but each time it always sold out.”

“Some time ago, I was discussing with my brother about expanding manufacturing,” Ye You thought for a while and said, “If the soldiers also like to eat, see if I can re-plan and make a batch of goods, only sell it to the soldiers so they don’t have to fight it over with others. It’s just…, if I do it like this, will I be gossiped? Say that I even want to earn the soldiers’ money?”

“Since it is a business, you should pay for things you bought, and there’s no principle that you don’t have to pay for things if you are a soldier.” Du Yao hugged Ye You and said, “You don’t need to care about what others say, those who love to gossip, you can’t stop their mouths. What they like to say, just let them say it. Even if they talk till their mouth rotten, you also don’t need to care. In the soldiers’ heart, they will naturally remember your goodness.”

Du Yao lifted Ye You’s chin, kissed his lips, and tasted the sweet flavor on his lips. In Du Yao’s heart, because he was able to have Ye You, he felt very content, and at the same time, because he could not be with Ye You all the time, he felt very dissatisfied. Love was originally a feeling of sweet torment. How deep Du Yao’s love for Ye You, were how much he was tortured in his heart, and it was also how strong a sense of happiness he felt.
