Principal Chen was taking his luggage at the boot. When he suddenly heard Xia Jinyuan’s voice, he hurriedly turned his body. He saw Xia Jinyuan bending down and entering the vehicle.
He said to the soldier that hadn’t managed to react. “Come, Little Ding, help me to open the door. Thank you for your hard work.”
In the car, Xia Jinyuan was just about to place his right hand at the back of Ye Jian’s neck so that it would be more convenient to hug her shoulders when he carried her out. The moment he did this action, Ye Jian, who was sleeping soundly on the seat, opened her eyes abruptly. She squinted in the not-so-bright environment and said tiredly, “You’re here…”
She woke up with a start but when she saw who it was, she closed her eyes and disregarded everything.
Xia Jinyuan looked at the skinny person who fell asleep again within a second. He pursed his thin lips tightly. Seven days of ‘escape from death’ training had made her lose a lot of weight. He could see it from her face.
Her dark circles were very heavy. There was a huge area of blue-black below her eyes. Her smooth and pinkish lips had a layer of pale white dried skin on them. It was so dry her lips were starting to crack. From her head to her toe, she was giving off an exhausted feeling.
Xia Jinyuan carried her out of the car. His elegant brows were furrowing furiously.
Thin, she was really thin. She got so much skinnier that when he carried her in his arms, he could feel her bones.
“Principal Chen, I’ll carry her up first.” Xia Jinyuan carried Ye Jian, who was so light that she didn’t weigh much. There was pain in the depth of his eyes. He had never accompanied her during her training. Every time, he could only calculate when she would end and hurry over. He just wanted to see if she was fine.
Sometimes, he would wonder if she could relax a little in front of all the high-intensity training. However, when he remembered the cruelty on the battlefield, his heartache would get suppressed by reality.
K7 was captured once and was injected with an unknown medicine that increased the sense of pain in his body. After he came back, he had to rest for three entire months!
A male soldier received such torturous treatment, much less a female soldier!
No matter how painful it was, he must bear with it.
It was dinner time so you could smell the fragrance of food from every household. All the houses were lit up in the entire city. Xia Jinyuan placed her lightly on the soft bed and gently took off her outerwear. Then, he took off her muddy military boots and placed them on the balcony.
When Principal Chen came in, he saw Ye Jian sleeping with a thin blanket laid over her. Then, he turned to look at the tall figure bustling on the balcony. He smiled gently and closed the door.
Major Xia truly cared about Jian. Every time Jian finished an exhausting training, he would come and accompany her. He would even take care of her emotions and earnestly point out her flaws.
With this person taking care of Jian, Old Gen and he could feel at ease.
Outside, all the houses were lit up. As for Ye Jian’s room, her curtains were closed such that no light could enter. No sound could be heard too. You could only hear two sets of long breaths in the dark.
Xia Jinyuan rushed here overnight from the grassroots companies. Halfway through the journey, they met a landslide so the path from the company to the city was blocked. Xia Jinyuan asked the soldier to drive back to the company alone while he carried his backpack and climbed the dangerous hill. He walked for over forty kilometers throughout the night before he reached the city.
From yesterday night until 6 pm today, which was the time he arrived in the city, he didn’t rest at all. He drove the car prepared by Xia Yiwei to school and finally saw Ye Jian coming back at 7.20 pm.
Both of them were racing against time. In the end, they could finally lie on the same bed and rest. To Xia Jinyuan and Ye Jian, this was a date.
