Chapter 681: Share A Plate
"No, there's no need for that. I've already caused you much trouble. I just want to take a walk outside. The smell in this room is giving me a headache. My chest feels stuffy too. I can't sleep even if I want to."
At the start, Teacher Xiao was gratified. However, when she continued listening, her expression changed. This student was threatening her with her heart disease.
Ye Jian had already reached the door when she heard what Ye Ying said. She turned and sneered at Ye Ying who wanted to chase after her. Her cold gaze moved down from Ye Ying's face to her neck. She saw the beautifully braided red string... her smile turned colder.
Ye Ying followed Ye Jian's gaze and lowered her head. When she saw what Ye Jian was looking at, she got a huge shock and quickly turned around. She was frustrated. N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.
This piece of jade... Ye Jian mustn't see it!
A soft click of the door was heard behind her. Before her frustration disappeared, Ye Ying turned angry. She spoke to Teacher Xiao impolitely. "I just want to take a walk. Teacher Xiao, are you not going to allow me from walking around?"
This was extremely rude of Ye Ying. Ye Jian smiled brightly when she heard Ye Ying's frustrated and furious tone. She glanced at Major Xia who was still here. "The person inside will rush out soon. You should leave now."
"I believe that you're not scared of her even if she rushed out. Why do I feel that you... actually hope that she will come out?" Xia Jinyuan felt that it was fun to block someone's path. He took a few steps and caught up with Ye Jian who was walking at a fast pace. His gaze landed on her face. He saw the slightly stern look and the anger in her eyes. "Since you want to kick her away, there's no need to think too much now."
"I heard your teacher saying that her parents will come over soon. You should know that I have investigated you before so I checked on Ye Zhifan and his family along the way. His wife is a bully. If she comes, she will most likely kick up a big fuss."
He didn't just investigate Ye Zhifan's family casually. He did a thorough investigation.
Ye Jian glanced at him and pursed her lips. "I'm not afraid that she will make a commotion. In fact, the bigger the commotion, the better. However, this issue will stop at Ye Ying. His daughter already did something stupid once. Ye Zhifan won't allow his wife to be stupid too.
Ye Zhifan would definitely stop anything that could affect his family's reputation.
Xia Jinyuan knew this since he investigated Ye Zhifan before. He pondered for a moment before saying, "Ye Zhifan has some skills. The person behind him hides well too. Little Fox, your current attitude is fine. Ye Zhifan won't dare to do anything after knowing what happened today."
As a politician, he wouldn't attack someone whom he didn't know much about.
It was very late so Ye Jian wouldn't go back to her class for dinner. She followed Xia Jinyuan to the military unit and entered the cafeteria through the back door. Then, he started scooping rice for Ye Jian. His actions appeared as if he had done it many times. After that, he served out three side dishes and one soup. "I asked them to save some food for me. All the cafeterias in the military taste the same. There's nothing to pick on."
"You've already cooked the food. What else can I do?" Ye Jian took the plate and the two of them started eating in the small kitchen of the chemical defense regiment.
There were no candles or flowers. There was no music too. They only wore the same camouflage uniform and ate from the same plate.
Chapter 682: Deep Longing
This is how soldiers date. There's no romance or surprises. There's only deep longing and heartache for the other party. However, they didn't regret becoming soldiers.
Xia Jinyuan ate faster than Ye Jian. After finishing, he reminded Ye Jian to wash the dishes before rushing out. Before he left, Ye Jian saw him taking down the booklet used to record the cleanliness of the kitchen. Then, he walked towards the kitchen with his long legs.
...
He was a major so people would forgive him if they found him eating in the kitchen. On the other hand, she was just a student. This wasn't something she should so. She would be punished if someone noticed her.
Thinking about this, Ye Jian hastened her pace. She was afraid that the cooking team would come back and find her.
After eating, she washed their plates and placed them nicely. She came out and saw Xia Jinyuan half-squatting on the field behind the kitchen. His slender and long body was curled up. He looked like a predator waiting for his prey, cold and ruthless.
He seemed to have cut his hair. The roots of his hair at the back of his head was even. It revealed his neckline. The thick and black hair roots gave off an unruly feel. They must be prickly. Ye Jian thought to herself as she lowered her head.
His right arm was moving. He seemed to be doing something delicate.
Suddenly, Ye Jian thought of something. She stopped abruptly. She wanted to run away.
He said that he wanted to talk to her about the love letters. Then, he took the booklet and the pen away. Looking at him now... if she thought about it carefully and in that direction... could it be that he was writing... a love letter?
Ye Jian pursed her lips unintentionally when she thought of this possibility. Her fair and smooth face started turning red and warm.
I should leave! Captain Xia's father is Commander Xia. He is the highest-ranking officer in the military. Captain Xia is his son. Ye Jian finally remembered this important thing. She didn't dare to stay any longer. She ran away like a rabbit running from its predator.
Xia Jinyuan heard the commotion behind him but he hadn't finish writing so he couldn't get up. So what if it was a love letter? Little Fox wouldn't read those letters written by childish little boys. The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via /n/ov/el/b/in.
He felt furious that someone did the thing he always wanted to do. At first, he wanted to wait for Little Fox to enter university before sending her a letter.
He couldn't bear with this. He must write a love letter.
"I don't know what is love. However, when you smile, I'll smile. When you're in pain, my heart will hurt. I think that that is love. They say that the love of the Special Forces is painful. Our love can't be exposed. We have to hide our love in a dark and cold corner, struggling in agony. That is the pain of being lovesick."
"Little Fox, I don't know how it feels to be lovesick. I just know that when I relax, I will wonder how you are living. When I was in the desert and looking at the sea of sand, I felt that flying past somewhere where you had been is a blessing too."
After finishing this sentence, Xia Jinyuan lifted his pen and purposely added, "As compared to young little boys who only use their body to love, I feel that understanding each other's thoughts is the definition of true love." This sentence was... filled with jealousy.
Chapter 683: Love Letter
Major Xia wrote the love letter with a jealous heart. He was furious that someone did it before him. Also, he wanted his letter to be better and more touching than the letter written by those little boys.
He had never written or read a love letter before so he went by his feelings. He mustn't frighten Ye Jian nor allow her to have the chance to run away. He needed to express his love and admiration for her too. Xia Jinyuan felt that it was harder than writing a report but when he lifted the pen, the words came naturally.
The pen moved furiously. Words appeared at the tip of the pen. His handwriting was powerful and firm. He didn't ponder over his words. He just wrote what he felt.
"The snow mountains were our neighbors in winter. The sea was our partner in summer. In autumn, we danced in the sand. In spring, we hung out in the forest. We challenged the impossible and went through many life and death situations. Is this more memorable than your other experiences in life?"
"You're a soldier. So am I. We have the same goal, we wear the same uniform. We could trust our backs to each other. This is our love. Don't you think I'm better than those little boys?"
"I don't want to disturb you at the start but I didn't expect those fellows to do it before me. At first, I wanted to wait for you to enter university. This is unforgivable. They're bad. They knew that your focus is on studying but they still wrote love letters to distract you. If you really got distracted and your studies are affected, how will you answer to Grandpa Gen and Uncle Chen?"
"You can't consider these bad young men. They just want to distract you. However, if you really want to consider someone, you can consider me. I'm six years older than you. I'm like your brother. I will definitely be of more help than those inexperienced little boys. Of course, I don't mind if you take me as your boyfriend. That is the status I want."
"In the past, you wrote on a menu paper. This time, I wrote on the cooking team's booklet. I feel that this is fate. What do you think?"
He wrote a few thousand words for this love letter!
He ended the letter with the following words: Your future shouldn't be messed with. I hope that I can be your future. Please approve my application. Applicant: Xia Jinyuan.
How could Ye Jian not run this time?
She didn't even know what to do with the love letters from the male students, much less Xia Jinyuan's letter. This was a dangerous and elegant man. She could only run away from him. What's more, his father was the highest-ranking officer in the military, Commander Xia.
Her heart hurt just thinking about this. She should get out while the going's good. She should run away as soon as possible. She mustn't receive Captain Xia's love letter! She could reject the male students' love letter but Captain Xia's... Ye Jian was afraid that she didn't have the will.
If she ran, Xia Jinyuan would chase her. Someone had to take the initiative.
Xia Jinyuan understood something after writing the love letter. Some things couldn't wait. Look, he wanted to wait and see but someone did it before him. L1teraryHub hosted the first appearance of this chapter at N0vel.B1n.
A soldier always fights to be the first. This applied to other things too.
He didn't see Ye Jian after he turned around but he wasn't anxious. As long as she was still in the chemical defense regiment, his love letter would definitely reach her.
Chapter 684: Time To Find Her The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l-B(j)n.
Major Xia wanted to return the booklet and the pen to the cooking team. He wasn't in a hurry. However, when he went back, he realized that the string used to hang the booklet on the wall was broken. He just wanted to quickly finish the letter so he didn't think much when he pulled the booklet off the wall.
Major Xia returned everything to its original position before leaving the kitchen elegantly.
It was time to find her.
Ye Jian didn't return to her room. She ran to the sports ground instead. Tomorrow was the last day of the seven days of military training. They would be leaving the chemical defense regiment. There were many students on the sports ground now. All the classes were gathered in a circle. The instructor of the class sat in the center and told the students his stories in the military. Occasional sounds of laughter floated along with the wind.
Everyone had smiles on their faces. They all seemed so happy. Ye Ying's face was dark and gloomy. Even Yao Jing felt a little frightened as she sat beside her.
"What happened to your class today? Why did you come out so late?" Yao Jing didn't immediately ask Ye Ying what happened to her. Instead, she asked about her class. There was a huge possibility that Ye Ying was in a bad mood because of Ye Jian. Thus, this was the same as asking why she was unhappy.
After coming out of the infirmary, Ye Ying didn't see Ye Jian. Her face remained black as she listened to Yao Jing. Malicious intent flashed past her eyes. "Something happened. Jingjing, I will transfer to another school."
"Transfer schools?" Yao Jing was really surprised. Was it so serious?
"Yes. I was too eager to attack today. I didn't know that the wicked girl had such good skills. I failed terribly this time. I have to transfer." She was the enemy of the entire class now. Her classmates wouldn't accept her anymore. The school wouldn't accept her too.
After she went back, her classmates might spread bad things about her to the other students in school. Soon, the entire school might know what she did. This was the worst thing that could happen. She didn't want to be in that situation. Transferring to a different school was her only option.
Yao Jing frowned. She said in a low voice, "What forced you to transfer school? Didn't I remind you that you must remain calm when dealing with Ye Jian? Luo Ran was sent back to school. Now, you have to transfer schools. This Ye Jian isn't a simple person."
Luckily, she didn't act rashly. Yao Jing felt relieved so she tried to pry open Ye Ying's mouth to find out what happened. But, she realized that she couldn't get anything out when Ye Ying was at the height of her anger.
There was no rush. Once she returned to school, she could get information from the other students in Class One.
As compared to Ye Ying, Yao Jing was much calmer. She continued, "You made that decision on your own. You need to ask the school and your parents. Don't be anxious. It has already happened. Being anxious won't help."
You can only blame yourself for being too impatient. Ye Jian only came for one month but you're already forced to transfer school.
"Even if my parents don't agree, I'll transfer school too." Ye Ying didn't want to be reminded of how she embarrassed herself. She didn't even dare to go back to her class now. What's the point of remaining here?
One day, she would let Ye Jian regret!
She pressed her chest. This was the jade that could change her status. She didn't have to worry about trampling Ye Jian. This jade would be able to help her.
Chapter 685: Two Tigers Cannot Share One Mountain
That's right, she still has this jade! She still has the chance to defeat Ye Jian!
Just wait! I'll teach her a good lesson one day. Ye Ying swore silently. Poison seemed to be seeping out of her eyes. Her gaze was sharp. Just wait, I'll repay the humiliation today in the future! Definitely! A hundred folds!
A moment ago, Ye Ying felt despair. Now, after holding the jade, she felt hopeful. What happened today was nothing. It was just to let her see how much Ye Jian had improved.
Yes, that was nothing. She will persevere too. She mustn't let Ye Jian win her all the time. So what if she knew how to do the military stance? So what if she could shoot perfectly? A poor soldier will just remain as a poor soldier his entire life. She would remain a soldier until she retired.
Instructor Huang gained so many merits but what was the use of it? In the end, he still had to return to his hometown.
Ye Ying's eyes shimmered excitedly as she thought about this. So what if Ye Jian was powerful? She had no background. On the other hand, she had the help of her father and this jade. What was there to be afraid of?!
Yao Jing was an observant person. She immediately detected the change in Ye Ying. She moved her gaze down and felt puzzled. Why did her mood become good suddenly? Her expression was so grave just now but it changed almost instantly.
Wasn't that just a piece of jade?
This was her thought but outwardly, she sighed and lamented, "Two tigers cannot share one mountain. You're at the disadvantage now. It's good to transfer schools. I'll help you watch over Ye Jian. Don't forget that we have Luo Ran too."
Right, there's still Luo Ran. He wouldn't transfer schools. the school wouldn't allow him to leave too.
Ye Ying's mood instantly got much better. She smiled happily. "I almost forgot about Luo Ran. He isn't a kind person. Ye Jian caused him to be kicked out of the military unit today. She embarrassed him many times. Their grudge is formed."
She paused for a moment. When she spoke again, her tone was even more excited. "I can't wait to see how Luo Ran deals with Ye Jian."
Well, that might not be true. Ye Jian forced one person out of the military training and another to transfer school... Yao Jing remembered the officer that came the other day. She pursed her lips tightly.
She had been holding herself back. It looks like...
Just as she was wondering if she should continue bearing with her anger, Ye Ying said, "Also, the plan you came up with yesterday night won't work. She's not afraid of snakes. I saw her grabbing a snake and peeling its skin off personally. She ate raw snake meat with the instructors."
Ye Ying felt her stomach churning as she recalled that gruesome scene. "How could she eat that thing? She is like a barbarian."
She ate snakes? What kind of person isYe Jian? Why is she getting more and more confused?
Ye Ying only looked at the surface but Yao Jing delved deeper. She didn't find it disgusting but instead, got even warier of Ye Jian. She knew that if she wanted to act, she must defeat Ye Jian in one blow. L1teraryHub hosted the first appearance of this chapter at N0vel.B1n.
"Ye Jian, this way. Come quickly."
Ye Ying was sitting at the edge of the sports ground but she still heard Ye Jian's name. She looked over intently. Ye Jian was running over from the middle of the sports ground. She went to the area where Class One was sitting. As for Ye Ying, Class One was a bunch of people she didn't want to interact with now.
Chapter 686: Love Of Two Parties Well-matched In Strength
Ye Ying stopped in her tracks. Her expression was dark. She spoke in an awkward tone, "Class One is in front. I won't be going over. Hurry up and go back to your class. My parents should be reaching soon."
It had been around one and a half hours after the shooting practice had ended. From the province to the chemical defense regiment, it would take around two and a half hours by car. Thus, her parents should be arriving soon.
The sun slowly set. The stars lit up the night sky. A cool breeze blew past them, taking the heat from the day with it.
Yao Jing didn't want to talk to Ye Ying too. "Okay. I can't help you but I feel that you don't have to transfer schools. You can just change your class. Don't let Ye Jian feel that you're transferring because you're afraid of her. This is just my suggestion. You can think about it."
If she transferred school, there would be one less person to create trouble for Ye Jian. That was something she didn't want to see.
Someone walked past them. He left a trace of refreshing mint smell. His walking speed was neither slow nor fast. In fact, his posture was elegant. Even when wearing the camouflage uniform, he looked refined. Yao Jing couldn't help but turn to look at him again. However, all she saw was a handsome back.
Ye Ying had already left. Yao Jing stood at the same spot and looked at the direction the man went. She noticed that the person was walking towards Class One's direction.
"Yao Jing, why are you hiding here? You're the arts committee member of your class. You can't sneak off like this. The singing competition with Class Five is starting soon. We're counting on your loud voice." Yao Jing wanted to stay a while longer but she was dragged off by her classmates who came to look for her. She had only looked down for a moment but the figure was already gone.
The students from Grade Eleven-Class One were already chatting with their instructor. A few young men, under the lead of Lu Xin, were asking him if entering the army was a good choice. They weren't joking when they said that they would become a soldier if they couldn't enter university.
The moment Ye Jian sat down, An Jiaxin whispered, "If being a female soldier is easy, I want to be one too. However, my parents won't agree. They'll want me to get a degree."
"You can join the army even if you're studying. You..." Ye Jian's voice became softer. She even hunched her back. "Don't act rashly. Listen to what Instructor Huang says first. I'll pay a visit to the washroom. I'll find you later." This chapter was originally shared via /n/o//vvel/b/in.
As expected, the military was Xia Jinyuan's territory. She walked around for half an hour but he still found her. She hunched her back and made use of the dark sky to walk past her class. Then, she kept close to Class Two and walked past them, leaving the field.
The sky was slowly becoming darker. It wasn't easy to find someone in this huge sports ground. But, to Xia Jinyuan, it wasn't difficult. However... the person he wanted to find was smart too.
He saw her a moment ago but in a blink of an eye, she was gone.
He didn't alert the people in Class One. Instead, he stopped for a moment before smiling lightly. Then, he moved towards the direction where Ye Jian went.
She had undergone special forces training. So did he. His professional knowledge was better than Ye Jian. He could analyze which was the best route to leave the sports ground without getting noticed.
The two equally smart people started an interesting game of scouting and tracing. Ye Jian raised her eyebrows when she noticed that Xia Jinyuan was on her trail. She jumped a few times and hunched her way out of the sports ground. She walked towards the forest.
Chapter 687: The Romance Of Two Soldiers
"That's interesting." There was more interest in Xia Jinyuan's eyes as he stood at the place where Ye Jian was a second ago, before entering the forest.
The forest was much darker than the outside, and it was also a restricted area in the chemical defense regiment. It would take time to avoid the cameras in the forest. L1teraryHub hosted the first appearance of this chapter at N0vel.B1n.
Compared to Xia Jinyuan, Ye Jian was somewhat familiar with the place as that was the second time she was in this forest. After avoiding two cameras, she heard Xia Jinyuan's low voice that came with a calm smile, "Let's have a challenge. The first one to walk out of the forest and report the exact amount of cameras wins. How about that?"
Hearing that, Ye Jian was interested and readily agreed, "It's interesting to be able to compete with you. One hour time limit. How about that?"
"You want to place a bet? For example, whoever loses will have to agree to something." If they didn't place a bet this time, it would really be a wasted opportunity to send her a love letter. How could Xia Jinyuan miss this?
In the night, there was something special about that smirk of his. There was an irresistible magic. "Do you dare to make such a bet?"
Do you dare?
Ye Jian clenched her fists lightly. It wasn't a matter of her guts. It was a matter of whether she wanted it or not. It was undeniable that the bet he raised had hit her heart at the right spot.
"Why? Are you worried that your skills are not good enough? Then it would be good that I can correct your mistakes on the spot and give you some advice. After all, I served a few more years than you. I will be able to give you some advice."
The voice was so gentle, without a hint of coercion. It sounded extremely comfortable, and it also made her heart pound faster.
She wasn't scared of Xia Jinyuan, but his actions made her resist but unable to refuse. Sometimes, his actions even made her heart beat and feel a little joy.
That was the root of her annoyance. She couldn't really refuse, but she didn't want to lose such a good mentor and friend. That was why she chose to avoid him whenever she could.
She couldn't do that now. She had to give him a response!
Her lips rose like delicate petals as Ye Jian smiled and replied to him calmly, "I can't refuse Captain Xia's invitation. The bet is on. Shall we start now?"
She really agreed to it! She really is a confident and bold little fox.
"It's 6.45 now. Walk out of the forest after getting the answer. There's no time limit." It's getting more and more interesting. Life is more pleasant with a like-minded girlfriend by his side.
Who said that love can never happen within the Special Forces? The love that he wants can not only happen but blossom! With passion, there must also be romance!
Love started to take root at this moment, and this peaceful forest witnessed the beginning of this romance.
The two figures began to move in the forest. They were both from the Special Forces. Avoiding cameras and infiltrating into the depths of the enemy forces were compulsory courses. Xia Jinyuan had been through countless actual combats and had a keen reaction to the cameras. He could stay hidden behind in trees, like a beast looking for prey, avoiding the cameras swiftly.
Chapter 688: An Exemplary Soldier
They had to count the number of cameras in the forest, not just the number of cameras on their routes. They had to know the topography of the forest, then pass the cameras, and understand their layouts, in order to calculate how many cameras exist around that area and where the next one would be installed. The debut release happened at N0v3lBiin.
It was not only a test of observation but professional knowledge too.
Not only did they need to know the number of cameras, but they also needed to avoid them, to prevent the soldiers from discovering them. Even movement amongst the bushes had to be controlled.
"Dual cross-type camera, ABCD connection. Little Fox, there should be a spot-type camera over at your side. It's worthy of the army's best chemical defense regiment. Even the distribution of the cameras gives me a headache."
He could still smile. Ye Jian was calm, "Cross-type camera, X-shape to Z-shape. Captain Xia, there must be two cameras at your right." Because the Z starts horizontally and ends horizontally, there must be a camera in the middle.
Avoiding the dual cross-type cameras is a difficult task. Xia Jinyuan passed through the bushes and the camera emitted a red flash.
The area that was fenced up had the most cameras. It was the shooting range, and also the base of the chemical defense regiment. It was normal to have so many cameras there.
The chemical defense regiment had to perform high-risk missions such as chemical, nuclear radiation reconnaissance, and radioactive contamination observation. The usual training was naturally related to these. Now, Ye Jian was still outside the first layer of protection. The deeper it was, the more cameras and infrared there were. There were even covert sentries around.
The two of them could only compete here. If they crossed the border, it wasn't something trivial. The chemical defense regiment would have something to say about that.
"I came to the chemical defense regiment to learn. When I found out that you were here, I was pleasantly surprised. I originally planned to find you after I'm done. Who knew I would meet you here? Don't you think this is fate?"
They then met at an S-shaped path, but there were bushes between them. It wouldn't affect their communication.
Ye Jian gently spat out the stale air that was stained with leaves, while sweat dripped slowly from her forehead. "It's not fate. It's just a coincidence. If I didn't make a sudden decision, Captain Xia wouldn't have run into me. That's why it's just a coincidence."
...Even if she thought it was a fate, she would never admit it!
"How many people came together because of fate? You must know that coincidence must be coincidentally appropriate. If it is, then it's fate. If you didn't come, we won't be here tonight. But it's a coincidence that you are here. It's fate that allows us to let the chemical defense regiment know that they should add more infrared cameras."
Xia Jinyuan started to move forward, and the end of the forest was not far ahead. Now was the time to sprint!
He can't lose. If he lost, the little fox would have the chance. He made a bet to win. How could he lose?
However, he didn't expect the little fox to be so good. Although he intentionally slowed down, he witnessed her strength. It was enough to meet the requirements of the Special Forces.
After all, Xia Jinyuan was a professional and systematically trained soldier from the Special Forces. If he really went all out, he would have been fifteen minutes faster than Ye Jian.
Chapter 689: How About A Boyfriend Like Me?
He needed to win this. Similarly, he wanted to be closer to her, to be able to meet her from time to time and talk.
"I don't believe in fate. I only believe in ability. Captain Xia, this is the final sprint. I will not give in just because you're Captain Xia." Ye Jian heard the rustling sounds and her bright eyes flashed. She sprinted off too.
Both of them didn't want to admit defeat. They were sweating so much, and their heads were covered with leaf litter. Having stayed in the forest for at least two hours, they sprinted towards the exit which was less than two hundred meters away.
One hundred meters, fifty meters, thirty meters... After avoiding two cameras, Ye Jian saw a tall mountain-like figure, standing in the pale moonlight.
Ye Jian's pupils narrowed. She was just five minutes behind him just now, but in an instant, it became a ten-minute gap.
At that moment, Ye Jian understood that he had deliberately slowed down just now.
Instead of being angry, Ye Jian chuckled. She knew why he slowed down, and why he sprinted suddenly. Because she understood, she wasn't angry with him for deliberately being slow.
"Little Fox, you lost." Xia Jinyuan, who had already been waiting for her for the past ten minutes, stood there in the moonlight and smiled. His figure was lean and tall. Even if you didn't see his face, you could feel that he was an exemplary man.
His low voice was so gentle that it blended with the moonlight as it followed the wind and made Ye Jian smile.
"That might not be true. Captain Xia is comparing speeds now. How many cameras are there in the forest? We are still comparing the number of cameras." Ye Jian was calm and wasn't worried at all.
Since she had already placed her bet, even if she lost, she would prefer to be upright and polite about it.
This version of Ye Jian was the one that was the most beautiful in Xia Jinyuan's eyes. He liked her character, and he liked the way she treated people even more.
"We'll say it together and see who's right." He smiled. He was determined and had the full confidence that he would win.
They said it out loud, and Ye Jian counted three less than Xia Jinyuan.
Three cameras determined the victor, and it was because of these three that the soldiers from the chemical defense regiment discovered Ye Jian. Under the gesture of Xia Jinyuan, it was reported to Commander Guo, to allow the bet to continue.
Ye Jian frowned, "I'm wrong?"
"Of course, we can talk about it while we walk." Xia Jinyuan smiled. "I worked so hard to win this bet. If I lost, I would be looked down by my comrades." The debut release happened at N0v3lBiin.
It wasn't glorious for a member of the Xueyu unit to lose to a senior high student.
After Xia Jinyuan pointed out her mistakes, Ye Jian understood. Before she even asked how he knew that, she heard his solemn voice, "What I want to say now is that I like a senior high student called Ye Jian. I wanted to wait till she's in university before I confess. But then I found out a little boy did what I wanted to do!"
"I'm anxious, and I don't want to hide it anymore. Even if Ye Jian is still a senior high student, I have to let her know that someone likes her very much, and tell her that if she wants a boyfriend, she should consider a soldier called Xia Jinyuan."
Chapter 690: Love Letter And Confession – A Two-Pronged Approach
If you really want to find a boyfriend, consider a soldier named Xia Jinyuan...
Ye Jian was dazed when she heard that. She had never thought that the man in front of her would be so straightforward. She wasn't mentally prepared for this and was stunned... A confession?
Her eyes widened. Those eyes were always so bright. Sometimes, they were as bright as the moon and stars, and sometimes they were hazy, revealing the calmness that didn't match her age.
He thought that he had seen her a thousand times, but he didn't expect to see her like this. Her eyes were round like she was a frightened little deer that didn't dare to run away. Under the faint moonlight, he could see the surprise in her eyes. She was probably too surprised. That dazed look was cute enough to make him want to kiss her.
"Give me a response, Little Fox. I say this with all my heart when I thought of it. I'm a little flustered if you just stand like this." Looking at the shocked Ye Jian, Xia Jinyuan had a smile on his face. He said that he was flustered, but he still stood there calmly like a mountain, and his eyes had the elegance and nobility of the moonlight. He wasn't at a loss!
That was a confession. The man that she always wanted to avoid, the man who always liked to tease her, but was absolutely trustworthy and dependable on the battlefield, making her feel safe... He actually confessed to her!
With stunned and confused eyes, she looked at the restrained, noble man. Her heart was beating fast.
This Xia Jinyuan, especially with that smirk, standing in the moonlight... He was attractive, and there was tenderness beneath his fortitude.
Thump... thump...
Her heart was beating faster. She finally managed to divert her gaze away from his face in panic. It was too sudden. Why is he so straightforward now? The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l-B(j)n.
Before this, it was all teasing, and would only feel ambiguous!
Xia Jinyuan looked at her confused facial expressions. There was panic in her face. He smiled slightly and said, "That's my confession. It's my sincere confession."
"Someone even wrote a love letter. The little fox is so outstanding that I have to let her know that someone like her has to find a good boyfriend. I recommend myself. I'll ask for your consideration."
Consider... Her heartbeat accelerated again. No, no. I must calm down.
She thought about everything when she was reborn, except for this... She didn't think about it! What's love? What is it good for? Can you use it to live in peace?
No, love is nothing!
Ye Jian, who was struggling with her thoughts, gradually recovered from her fright. She stared at Xia Jinyuan with stark eyes. She wasn't surprised, nor afraid, but surprisingly calm.
She had always wanted to avoid him, but now there was nowhere to hide. It wouldn't help if she continued to do so. Now, the matter has come to light.
Chapter 691: Exceptional Charm
Her eyes were still. She blinked softly and spoke calmly, "Captain Xia, do you know what you are doing now? You just said that the little boys who sent me love letters are bad and would affect my studies. Now, aren't you doing the same bad things to affect my studies?"
"Compared to the fact that they only sent me a love letter, Captain Xia's confession was so straightforward that a senior high student like me is at a loss." She realized that being in senior high was a good thing. She's young, and she had to study, not fall in love! This chapter was first shared on the n(0)vel(b)(j)(n)platform.
When she said that, Ye Jian felt that she exerted a lot of energy. This was the first time she realized that sometimes it was more difficult to say yes.
Because she knew very well that it would be inappropriate if she agreed to that now!
Who is she? She's an orphan who works hard on her own and nurtured by the army. So what if she's a martyr's daughter? In her past life, that identity didn't bring her anywhere far. She still had to rely on herself.
If she can support herself, she will truly live a wonderful life.
It was not suitable for her to talk about romance now, that was for sure! Grandpa Gen and Uncle Chen had always told her that women must also be dauntless, not just men!
Only then, would they be able to live on, to have their own lives, and live wonderfully!
And who was Xia Jinyuan? As Han Zheng had said, ladies were lining up for him in the capital city to be his girlfriend. She had nothing now!
She doesn't know what love is, but if one of them was standing high above the other, will there be a happy ending?
This was not a good time for her to fall in love with him now. She had to reject him. It was something she must do.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Jian was already constantly warning herself to stay calm, and not be wavered by his confession. She must not agree impulsively!
Xia Jinyuan was not someone who would give up when he faced obstacles. Hearing that, his smile got wider, and there was a dim light in his eyes, like a beast.
"You're right. You're still young. It's inappropriate to do so now. That's why I'm waiting for you to go to university. I can wait, but who knew that the boys in your school would be so bold."
Suddenly, he leaned forward. The moonlight was dim, but Ye Jian could clearly see the seriousness in his eyes. It looked very much like her. Once you lock on to something, you will never turn your head back.
She finally calmed her heart down, but it started to pound again, making her flustered. Xia Jinyuan then smiled, "I can't possibly let other people make the first move. I have to take the lead and be the first person to do so."
...
Hearing that, Ye Jian couldn't help laughing... There was a laugh, but she immediately controlled herself, clenching her facial muscles... And in the eyes of Xia Jinyuan, there was an exceptional charm coming from her.
Chapter 692: Notice That Something Was Amiss
"Can you stop mentioning love letters or confessions? I don't even know who the other party is. I didn't read any of the love letters too. I'm not curious about them at all. If you continue mentioning them, I might really read them to see why Captain Xia is taking it to heart."
Xia Jinyuan smiled. His handsome face was so close that Ye Jian could feel his warm breath on her face. He lowered his voice by half a key, making it sound rich, mellow, and sexy, just like red wine. "I really take it to heart. That's why I'm anxious."
"Fortunately, I came on time and found out about this. If I wait till you go to university to act, I will probably see you getting together with someone else. I'll really regret it then. I..."
Ye Jian lived for two lifetimes but this was the first time she heard a speech like this. She started blushing once she heard it... She reached her hand out and covered Xia Jinyuan's mouth. "Xia Jinyuan, you don't look like a soldier now. Get..."
She was embarrassed and agitated. Hence, she didn't think of the consequences when she covered Xia Jinyuan's mouth.
Ye Jian always evaded Xia Jinyuan but she trusted him too. How could she not believe a comrade who went through life and death with her? Because of trust, Ye Jian never thought about her next step when facing Xia Jinyuan. She never wondered what was the best way to respond to him.
Thus, she covered his mouth instinctively. Because of trust, she didn't think of the consequences.
Xia Jinyuan never expected this to happen. He was stunned for a second. Something flashed past his eyes. He lifted his arm and grabbed her thin waist.
He pulled her towards him and fell to the ground using a wrestling technique. None of them was hurt. They landed on the grass without any pain.
"I didn't know that you're so daring. You dare to cover my mouth when I'm talking. Aren't you afraid that I'll bite your fingers?" Ye Jian tried to resist but failed. They two of them made a huge movement again after falling to the ground. Xia Jinyuan turned his body and laid with his back on the ground. Ye Jian was lying on his body.
Ye Jian wouldn't allow this. She didn't remove her hand that was on his mouth. Instead, she pushed it down harder. At the same time, she moved her hand towards his nose, wanting to suffocate him so that he would release his hand voluntarily.
"Captain Xia, we're talking about our bet now, not rolling on the grass. If you don't release your hand, I'll cover your nose. Don't blame me if something happens to you."
Xia Jinyuan raised his eyebrows. His mouth was covered but his hands and legs were free. He lifted his other hand and grabbed her waist too.
A seventeen-year-old lady was like a fruit that was slowly ripening. It smelled unripe but enticing. Xia Jinyuan, who had never been so close to a lady and was always keeping a distance with ladies, got enticed by Ye Jian. He started feeling restless.
It had to be known that all the Special Forces soldiers in the Xueyu unit passed the seduction test. The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to /n/o/vel/b/in.
To ensure that her back wouldn't get hurt by the rocks, he laid on the ground while she was on top of him. Her hand was still on his mouth. Their bodies were naturally touching each other. They were so close that the wind couldn't blow between them.
His gaze changed. They became darker and deeper. The emotions inside instantly made Ye Jian realize that something was amiss.
Chapter 693: Sleep Right After The Confession
Her hands were still on his lips. She could feel the temperature on them. They were warm, just like his smile which always entered her gaze when she was least expecting it.
From his eyes, she knew that he didn't believe she would suffocate him. She could even tell that he was smiling gently at her. The emotions in his eyes made her release her hand.
She released her grip and felt Xia Jinyuan's chest shaking. He was laughing.
His laughter was relaxed but it made Ye Jian feel helpless.
It was hard to reject Xia Jinyuan. It really wasn't the right time now. However, there is still another Commander Xia behind him. Ye Jian found it hard to breathe. A soldier has natural respect and fear towards a general. Ye Jian was no different.
Xia Jinyuan held her tighter. They were so tight she felt as though he wanted to push her body into his and merge them together.
Young. She's still young. I can't scare her. I need to do it slowly.
He would confess first and then give her the love letter. He would slowly walk into her heart. This was the only way to let the sly little fox accept him. The restless Xia Jinyuan wanted to do some small actions, such as kissing her mouth and giving her his first kiss. However, he suddenly remembered that night when he went to catch her in her school. She got frightened because she saw his hungry look from the light of the flashlight. At the same time, he saw the opposition in her eyes. L1teraryHub hosted the first appearance of this chapter at N0vel.B1n.
This allowed him to immediately understand that he mustn't try to tame this little wolf. He could only get closer to her and become the person she trusted.
He had already taken so many steps. If he made a mistake when confessing, all his efforts would be wasted.
Xia Jinyuan really spent much effort on Ye Jian. He bore with the restlessness of his body. He couldn't let Ye Jian know the natural reaction of a man.
Both of them were reserved in their relationship. One laid below while one laid at the top. She looked down on him and he looked up at her. The sky full of stars became their background. The wind stopped and the trees stopped swaying. The two humans stared at each other quietly but the emotions in their eyes were intense. Xia Jinyuan's Adam's apple kept moving up and down. Slowly, he closed his eyes.
Since he didn't say anything, Ye Jian didn't speak too. His arms were still hugging his waist tightly. He hugged her so tightly she didn't dare to open her mouth. She was afraid that once she spoke, she would startle the wolf that had closed his eyes. She might not be able to handle the implications.
No one knew if the wind was too comfortable or was it because these two people were careless. The person hugging the lady he liked closed his eyes and... fell asleep.
Ye Jian had been rushing here and there all this while so as Xia Jinyuan hugged her, she started feeling sleepy too. She kept nodding her head like a chick pecking the food on the ground. Slowly, her head fell towards his broad chest and she fell asleep.
No one knew how long they slept. When Xia Jinyuan opened his eyes, he was stunned. Did he fall asleep after confessing? He actually fell asleep after doing such an important thing!
Before the astonishment on his face subsided, he looked down at his chest and saw Ye Jian who was sleeping like a puppy. He couldn't help but smile. Was this fate? They fell asleep at the same time. Wasn't this fate?
Chapter 694:Xia Jinyuan's First Kiss Is Gone
Ye Jian woke up with a start because of his voice. She immediately remembered that she... fell asleep while lying on Xia Jinyuan's chest.
"Have you thought about it?" Xia Jinyuan, who had a good sleep, opened his mouth. His soft and gentle voice was like the cold moonlight, capable of intoxicating people. "Just because we slept together, doesn't mean that the previous bet doesn't count."
Just because we slept together... Ye Jian choked up because of his words. Ye Jian relaxed her waist and took a deep breath, "No. The bet..." She turned and flipped away from Xia Jinyuan's body, not giving him any time to prepare at all.
After rolling over, Ye Jian was already squatting on the ground. She then smacked her hands and stood up.
Looking at Xia Jinyuan who was still lying down, her mouth was raised slightly as she smiled, "If Captain Xia's bet is for me to consider you as a potential candidate when I'm looking for a boyfriend, then I'll agree."
Why would I disagree? Isn't there still a lot of time? If he can persist on, then she will too. If he gives up, then she will face it openly.
Xia Jinyuan's bet was indeed the case. Hearing that, he sprang up with the strength of his waist and moved over to Ye Jian's side. He felt helpless with Ye Jian's shy smile. "No, I don't want such a bet."
The confession was done, and the love letter was completed. With her temperament, how could she be moved by those little boys in school? She didn't respond to their love letters, let alone read them. It was evident that she would not be moved by them... And he had the confidence that if she were to look for a boyfriend, she would consider him.
It's just that this was not the right time. She would not consider him as a boyfriend. Naturally, it was even less so for her schoolmates.
...
"Then what is it?" An alarm blared in Ye Jian's heart. She suddenly let down her guard and made a mistake! Xia Jinyuan took a step forward, and the wary Ye Jian took a step back. Once again, she looked like she was ready to run away at any time.
Xia Jinyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile, "It's very simple, and it won't put you in a bad spot."
The more he said it like this, the more Ye Jian felt that it was not that simple, "Sure, then say it now. Since I lost, I'm willing to do it, as long as it's..." Her words were all choked up because of his sudden approach, and when Xia Jinyuan's hands instantly caught Ye Jian's wrists, all she could think of then was: He's worthy of being an elite in the Special Forces! He's so fast!
"It's very simple, I want to present you with my first kiss." He clasped her wrists and buckled them around his waist, and hugged her again. He then lowered his head and printed his thin lips on her delicate ones.
Only offering one's first kiss to the right person would have a lasting appeal.
His kiss was different from his gentle smiles. He swept in directly in an overbearing manner, like thousands of horses crossing the borders. It stunned her. When the tip of his tongue caught hers aggressively, Ye Jian's face blushed with a booming red.
Ye Jian had never thought that his wager would be his first kiss! He had his first kiss, but Ye Jian had hers too! That was her first kiss in her two lifetimes. And it was gone just like that.
It was Xia Jinyuan's first time kissing, and it was obvious that he was inexperienced in it. However, he was clever and was naturally good at kissing. He kissed the way that he felt like it. So what if she was a senior high student? As long as he liked it, he would never tolerate their coveting.This chapter was first shared on the n(0)vel(b)(j)(n)platform.
Chapter 695: Xia Jinyuan, What Are You Trying To Do?
Ye Jian, who was about to lose her breath, was a little embarrassed. But when she heard Xia Jinyuan's clear breathing and saw his chest moving up and down, the embarrassment on her face vanished suddenly. She started laughing.
Her laughter was like the spring water in the mountain stream, happy and clear. She wasn't ashamed or angry because of this kiss. Neither was she screaming as though she had been taken advantage of.
Xia Jinyuan didn't expect her to laugh. He then sighed, "Little Fox, your reaction is really unexpected."
He originally thought that she would at least glare at him, or scold him. After all, he made a move on her.
Of course, if not for the fact that she wasn't resisting, he wouldn't have dared to kiss her so daringly. The little fox was a wild and untamable fox, but beneath all that, she had the ability to hurt people. If she really wanted to give him a slap, he would accept it.
However, she didn't do anything. She didn't even scold him. Instead, she laughed.
Intuitively, such a reaction was not necessarily a good thing.
"Captain Xia gave me his first kiss. Should I be crying? A man's first kiss is rarer than a woman's. I didn't know that Captain Xia still kept his first kiss." Ye Jian's eyes were clear like the water, and it even reflected the moonlight. "Captain Xia, don't you feel like you were at a disadvantage?"
Disadvantage? How can that be?
Xia Jinyuan smiled, and his handsome face was as bright as the moon, "It's worth it to give it to you. It's just that I was a bit inexperienced. I used too much strength, and sucked..."
"Xia Jinyuan!" Whenever Ye Jian felt embarrassed, she would shout his full name. She finally managed to regain her composure. But because of what he said, she was blushing again. She was no match for his thick skin.
To woo their girlfriends, men had to be thick-skinned. If not, someone would snatch them away. Now that Xia Jinyuan had experienced it all, he didn't feel ashamed but felt that it was something to be proud of. L1teraryHub hosted the first appearance of this chapter at N0vel.B1n.
"Are you shy? Little Fox, your shyness makes me relieved. Shyness is good. It proves that this isn't one-sided." Now that the target has been locked on, and the offensive has been launched, he had to say what he wanted to.
That's to prevent other people from snatching her away!
Facing such a Xia Jinyuan, Ye Jian was helpless. She was struggling to get away from his arms but was hugged tightly. She could hear the smile in his voice, "As a soldier, I forgot the 'adventurous spirit' that a soldier should have, and let procrastination get the better of me that I almost regretted it. Just thinking about the future makes me forget the fighting spirit and temperament of a soldier."
...
Ye Jian was stunned by his words as she tried to struggle her way out. Fighting spirit? Temperament? What is he trying to say?
"Since young, the first book I read was a manual about the basic rules of military behavior. It was a small red book with a golden military emblem printed on it. The first page read 'One must have an ideological temperament, work attitude, fighting spirit, and lifestyle."
Chapter 696: When Two Armies Are At A Stalemate, The More Persistent One Will Win
"We must seek truth from facts, be modest and prudent, apply what we have learned, mean what we say, be positive and eager, dare to be innovative, be brave and determined, be decisive and quick, work hard and persevere, be diligent and frugal."
He really started reciting the soldiers' manual. For a moment, Ye Jian couldn't catch up with his tempo. She didn't understand what he was doing too. What did this have to do with the soldiers' manual?
Since she didn't know what was happening, she didn't dare to move. It might be because she didn't hate the hug with the faint mint smell too. She listened quietly to his low and happy voice.
"We must remember these points all the time and never forget them. If I was decisive and quick, seek truth from the facts, meant what I said, and dared to be innovative, the love letter in my pocket would have been sent out long ago!"
As she continued listening, Ye Jian felt that she... understood some things. Then, she heard him saying, "When two armies are at a stalemate, the most persistent one will win. I keep thinking that you're too young but I forgot about the environmental factors."
At this moment, Ye Jian didn't even have the energy to open her mouth anymore. The soldiers' manual became a love manual for soldiers in his hand.
"Captain Xia is indeed an outstanding Special Forces soldier. Not only do you put what you learn to use, you use them in all areas of life. You're indeed an ace soldier!" Ye Jian felt speechless as she said this. She even wondered to herself. If Commander Xia knew that his son was like this, would he raise his gun?
Xia Jinyuan took her sarcasm as a compliment. Tonight, the gap between his little fox and him got closer. While he was delighted, he remembered to summarize his experience.
Soldiers must know how to summarise their experience. With more experiences, the rate of success would be higher. The setbacks they faced would get lesser too. As a soldier, they must always remember the saying that conceit makes one lag behind. He mustn't think that just because he is so outstanding, his little fox will only like him.
A smile appeared on his elegant and handsome face. He said calmly, "I forgot about this in the past. That's why I lag behind other people. Now, I will never forget the spirit a soldier should have. Hence, Little Fox, I will take the risk and move forward occasionally in the future."
This time, Xia Jinyuan was using the qualities a soldier should have on chasing his girlfriend. He decided to use his risk-taking spirit too. That was why he said that his wager was his first kiss.
That was really a huge risk. If Ye Jian got offended, he would be in trouble.
When Ye Jian heard this, her eyes widened. She took some time before she muttered, "If Commander Xia knows this, I wonder what he will think."
Xia Jinyuan felt that he could represent Commander Xia to answer this question. He hugged her and said with a serious face. "Commander Xia always supported my risk-taking spirit. Ever since I entered the military, I took many special and unique risks for the first time. My first target training was a risk. My first grenade throwing experience was a risk. My first military performance was a risk."
"The person who takes more risk will get more benefits. If you're afraid to commit to yourself, you can only watch the girl you like being taken away by someone else." The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to /n/o/vel/b/in.
...
As she listened to him, Ye Jian had to give him a thumbs up. "What you say makes me feel that those soldiers who haven't found a girlfriend should read the soldiers' manual a few more times. When they have a deep understanding of it just like you, they will be able to find a girlfriend."
Chapter 697: Captain Xia Tastes Like Spirits
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
"I'm afraid that they will not understand it. I'm only enlightened after I gave away my first kiss. In that instant, I learned how to use it. The other people might not have a way to get enlightened."
After chatting for so long, Xia Jinyuan's heartbeat had gone back to normal. He brought Ye Jian closer to him and smiled. When he smiled, the handsome features appeared alluring under the moonlight. "Let's not talk about this. Tell me, how does it feel? Do you feel your heart palpitating in excitement?" N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l-B1n.
How do I... feel? Ye Jian was still thinking about how he managed to link the soldiers' manual to love so she got shocked by the sudden question. Her face turned red instantly. She wasn't embarrassed by the kiss but this question made her feel shy.
"Xia Jinyuan, don't say such things!" That dangerous Xia Jinyuan was back again. Ye Jian didn't feel relaxed anymore. She started thinking about how she should escape from his arms.
Under the faint moonlight, you could see Xia Jinyuan squinting with his cold eyes. Ye Jian's heart dropped. She immediately said, "The bet is over. Captain Xia, can you release your hands now?"
"No. You haven't told me how it feels like. Why not I say it first?" Xia Jinyuan had some takebacks again. A man should be more thick-skinned. That way, he would get more results.
Look, the little fox in his arms was so embarrassed her eyes were sparkling. Even her eyebrows were enchanting. When she looked over, her gaze hooked onto his heart and made his heart shudder.
Ye Jian regretted not leaving when he was talking. Now, it was a little hard to escape.
Based on her understanding of him, if she said that she didn't know what it feels like, this dangerous man would suggest trying again. If she said that the feeling was good, he would want to do it again too.
That meant that he had all the initiative. If she wanted to leave, she must leave his embrace first. But, she was unwilling to just leave like this.
He gave his first kiss but her first kiss was gone too. Yet, he still asked her what it felt like and was starting to tease her again.
Ye Jian started feeling rebellious because of Xia Jinyuan's advances.
She didn't reply immediately. After moving her eyes around, she remained quiet. Xia Jinyuan couldn't understand what she was thinking for a moment.
However, that didn't matter as long as he knew that she wasn't angry.
"There's a rich aftertaste. After trying it once, I find it impossible to stop," he spoke in a deep and charismatic voice. He lowered his head and bent his back, placed his forehead against hers and moved his head slowly. "Shall we try it again?"
He was just speaking the truth. After tasting it, he regretted not controlling his breathing and elongating their first kiss. It should have lasted longer.
He made a miscalculation. He was too impatient.
Ye Jian, who was looking down, lifted the ends of her lips and gave a naughty smile. Then, she raised her hands and softly hugged the back of his neck. Her breath smelled sweet as she said slowly, "Captain Xia tastes not bad too. You're like a spirit. Before I drink it, I'm already drunk. I am really quite drunk now. If you ask me what it tastes like exactly..."
As she spoke, she tiptoed and raised her head. Her lips, which were as soft as the bud and soft tips of a flower at the start of Spring, slowly moved closer and closer towards his thin lips. They were so close that restlessness appeared in Xia Jinyuan's black eyes.
Chapter 698: You Taste Really Good
The outstanding man only gave his first kiss when he was more than twenty years old. He was past the young and innocent age and knows what is the most precious. He knew what he really wanted at this age. Now, what he wanted was... to taste her again.
At sixteen years old, they shouldn't talk about the things that happened in bed. They would just talk about love and share a kiss. Of course, he had to make sure no one knew his identity.
As he thought about this, Major Xia realized sadly that even if he was considered Little Fox's boyfriend now, he still had to hide.
He watched her as she closed in on him. When she raised her head, he saw the sly look in her eyes that shone under the reflection of the crescent moon above. Xia Jinyuan narrowed his eyes instantly. What a sly little fox. She was using her beauty to entice him.
"I'm already drunk before tasting Captain Xia fully. If I tried it again..." Her lips were already grazing his lips. If she moved a little closer, they would kiss. Ye Jian was really like a sly little fox. She planned to use her beauty to escape from her predator's hands. However, she didn't know that her predator had already seen through her scheme and was obediently waiting for her to initiate the movement.
The hunter had the patience of a hunter. The fox had the instinct of a fox. When Ye Jian looked at his squinting black eyes, she knew that she must run away.
She felt a sense of danger. This time, it was a real sense of danger.
Before the danger arrived, she moved her hands, which were around Xia Jinyuan's neck, swiftly and hurriedly. She grabbed Xia Jinyuan's broad shoulders at a speed as fast as lightning. At the same time, she pressed her thumb deep into his scapula while sticking her right leg between his legs. Then, she hooked her calf over his left calf. The short-range combat had started.
A second ago, they were still giving each other their first kiss. A second later, they were fighting back and forth. There was a lack of romance in this kind of love but they gained the trust and the understanding between each other.
"It looks like my taste didn't make you drunk. You're the one that made me drunk instead." As someone with good fighting skills, Xia Jinyuan wouldn't really fight with her. The more she wanted to escape, the more he wanted to chase her. If it wasn't for the fact that it was already a little late, he might really use his full strength to subdue her.
The distance between the two of them widened a little. Ye Jian knew that she wasn't his match so she took a huge leap back. All she wanted to do was to escape. She smiled and said, "Captain Xia's taste is not bad. It's just a little strong. I'm not at a suitable age to enjoy it."
"It's getting late. Good night, Captain Xia."
It wasn't just a little strong. It's very strong! One kiss and her knees went weak. Also... even until now, there was still a faint mint smell lingering in her mouth. His taste was so strong it pierced right into her heart.
Xia Jinyuan laughed. He hurriedly chased after her. "Why not have a good taste of it the next time you give me your first kiss?"
When he chased after her, Ye Jian sped up. After hearing what he said, she glanced at the man who was still thinking about the next time they met without slowing down her speed. "If you change the topic, we might be able to continue chatting. If not, you can go to the right and I'll move to the left. We'll bid farewell to each other."
"Are you shy? You were still laughing after the kiss just now. Why are you embarrassed now?" The shyness Ye Jian revealed from her expression enchanted Xia Jinyuan even more. He couldn't understand why he got interested in this little lady. The interest was quite huge. This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.
It was the kind of interest that made him want to bring her back and make her his wife.
If Commander Xia knew about this, he might just take out a gun and shoot his son.

Xia Jinyuan took out the letter that was warm from his body temperature and blocked her path. He stretched out his hand with a smile. "This is my love letter. It's a love letter worth reading. It's definitely better than those written by the little boys. Read it carefully and approve it. I will come back one month later to receive the result."
Ye Jian never received the love letters she received personally. Now, the love letter she was holding in her hand... this was actually the first time she received a love letter directly.
"Captain Xia, are you sure?"
"You don't have to suspect me. I know clearly what I'm doing. I've already given you my first kiss. Little Fox, you can't question my sincerity."
The first kiss again! Ye Jian put the love letter in her pocket and said helplessly, "Can you stop mentioning your first kiss? That's my first kiss too! We are equal now. Don't mention it again in the future."
"Also, I can reply to you now. If I have to find a boyfriend, I will consider the soldier called Xia Jinyuan first. He is a soldier and I'm a soldier too! But he has to be the Xia Jinyuan that I know when I meet him again."
This wasn't a promise. It was just a reply telling him that she would wait for him. This waiting wasn't just the passing of time too. Before they become lovers, they will have to fight together and trust each other. She wanted to wait until they understood each other better.
To other people, time just flew by. To Xia Jinyuan and Ye Jian, it was a passage to understand each other.
He watched as she walked briskly into the moonlight. The beautiful and arrogant back view brought a smile to Xia Jinyuan's face. "You are my comrade and my lover, Little Fox!"
You are my comrade. There's an unbreakable trust between us. You're my lover. You give me the motivation to persevere.
The scenery tonight was the most beautiful. The moon was a crescent but it lit up the entire earth with its silver light. Even the solemn-looking chemical defense regiment in the daylight turned gentle under the glow of the moon.
Ye Jian didn't return to her dormitory immediately. She stood under the light and opened the first love letter she received with her hands. When her gaze landed on the first line, she smiled gently.
A small sedan from a government agency jolted as it drove along the winding mountain roads. It caused Ye Zhifan, who was sitting in the car expressionlessly, to give a cold and indignant look.
"Little Wang, drive slower." He opened his mouth. His force of presence made the chauffeur, Little Wang shudder.
Ye Ying unconsciously shrunk her shoulders and leaned towards Sun Dongqing. If her father scolded her loudly, she wouldn't be afraid... but his attitude now made her fearful. Until now, she hadn't heard a single word of reprimand from him.
"It's alright. It's alright. We're going home now. What's so good about this rundown place? Your health isn't good to start with so I'm worried that you might suffer there. It's alright to go home one day earlier. Mom will make healthy food for you tomorrow."
Sun Dongqing had limited exposure so she didn't think in-depth. When she recalled what the teachers of the school and those stern-faced officers said, she commented angrily, "What kind of people are they? How can they scare our Yingying like this? Old Ye, you must go to the school and find their principal the day after tomorrow. You can't let Yingying suffer like this!"
"Find the principal the day after tomorrow? Why not you ask your daughter if she has the face to go back to school?" The angrier he got, the calmer his expression. Even his tone was indifferent. "I don't have any more faces for her to humiliate. If you want to go, you can find the principal on your own. You can finish the application for transferring schools too. Don't let her embarrass herself further in Provincial No.1 Middle School."

Ye Zhifan rarely exploded in anger in front of his daughter. No matter how angry he was, he would just reprimand her for a while and analyzed the pros and cons for her at the end. There wasn't a time when his tone was so cold and nonchalant like tonight. It sent chills to people's hearts.
He was really indignant.
Ye Ying wasn't the only one afraid. Even Sun Dongqing felt her heart palpitating furiously in fright. She looked at her husband and then at her daughter. She was confused. "Why does she need to transfer schools? Isn't she doing well in school? The soldiers said that she was weak so something bad might happen to her if she continued staying there. That was why they asked us to bring her back, right?"
"What does this have to do with transferring schools? Even if the teachers said that Yingying gossiped in class, what's wrong with that? Children don't know anything. Will a teacher make a fuss over a child?"
When Sun Dongqing saw her daughter lying alone on the bed in the infirmary, she rushed over and caressed her dearly. Her voice was loud and she only cared about Ye Ying so she didn't notice what Teacher Xiao and the political commissar said.
In the end, Ye Zhifan felt so embarrassed that he went out of the infirmary. It was much quieter outside. He listened to the political commissar as the political commissar explained to him what happened.
"Mr. Ye, our military unit won't dare to keep Ye Ying here anymore. Yesterday, she instigated her entire class to discriminate against a female student. If the female student didn't have some capabilities, we would have a hard time clearing up the scene."
"We thought that what happened yesterday would teach Student Ye a lesson but we were too naive. Today, during the target training, the instructor of Class One revealed his admiration for one of the students. Student Ye Ying made groundless accusations towards the soldier because of this."
"I noticed that Mr. Ye came in a car from a government agency so you must be a current government official. Can you tell me how the military and the school should handle someone that accused a soldier with merits?"
"The strong write history while the weak make accusations. Fortunately, my soldier and that lady that was accused are both capable and have a strong mentality. If not, they might really get affected by Student Ye Ying."
"The military is a place where discipline is important. We only seek facts and will severely punish anyone that tattletales. Since Ye Ying isn't a soldier from my military unit, I will have to ask Mr. Ye to bring her home first and teach her how to be a person. My soldiers are all people with indomitable spirits. I can't let anyone accuse them!"
Ye Zhifan almost didn't manage to restrain himself from rushing in and slapping his daughter who was still lying on the sickbed. He felt that his pride, which he gathered for so many years as an official, was being trampled upon. The person who caused him to lose his face was none other than the daughter he had high hopes for. He kept apologizing and bowing to the officers. He wanted to end this issue once and for all but the political commissar didn't give him any chances. The political commissar said directly, "Mr. Ye has pride but the military has pride too! Anyone that dares to bully our soldier is bullying the entire military unit. Ye Ying dares to accuse our men even though she is just a student. We won't find her for trouble. Instead, we will confront her parents!"
This was even more humiliating than someone trampling on his face!
