169 If you are the President, then I cannot be an ordinary person.

Song Lili spoke.

"It's not that I find her fragile, it's just that if one could live a happy and carefree life, why choose one full of hardships and complexities?"

"I wanted to tell her, to dispel her thoughts of joining the army, but every time I returned in my uniform and she threw herself at me with a look of admiration and affection, I just... couldn't bear it. Couldn't bear to lose her admiration and affection."

Song Lili clenched her lips.

"Fortunately, Lili isn't that determined a person, especially since her father remarried, and her relationship with her became more distant year after year."

"I seem to matter more to her than her dream of being a soldier."

"Why are you bringing all this up now?"

Song Lili poured some water and turned around to hand the glass to Wen Nian.

Wen Nian squinted his eyes,

"You look exactly like her, a spitting image, even identical twins aren't as similar as you both, but you ultimately are not her."
