As the slender figure got closer, her facial features became clearer. Then, she stood in front of Li Jinnian and saluted, “Ye Jian, reporting! Completed 5000 meters of cross-country run!”
A group of water ghosts who were sitting boorishly looked at each other. Then, they closed their outspread legs and smiled. They lowered their heads and prepared breakfast for the soldiers.
Dozens of men had a huge appetite. They didn’t have rice, noodles, dumplings, and other food. They only had fish slices and conch slices… They easily could get hungry and nauseous.
When Li Jinnian saw Ye Jian, his first reaction was not to answer her. Instead, he glanced at all the water ghosts coldly. When he saw that none of them were staring, he retracted his gaze.
Just like what Big Prawn said, the new female soldier, Ye Jian, was indeed… beautiful. The most beautiful thing was her eyes. They were as bright as stars.
He raised his hand and saluted Ye Jian. His voice was calm and indifferent as he said, “Return to the unit and rest.”
“Yes!” Ye Jian turned around and put her custom-made shoes aside. She scanned her surroundings. When she saw a familiar figure, she smiled and walked over. “Big Whale, do you need my help?”
After breakfast, they would rest for a while and then swim at a depth of 500 meters. The water ghosts, who were all wearing tight black rubber diving suits, saw Ye Jian walking towards Big Whale from the corner of their eyes. A few of them coughed as if their throats were itchy.
Li Jinnian’s cold gaze landed on the fake coughing water ghosts. They shrunk their neck and stared at the work on their hands… preparing breakfast!
“… You know me? How did you know?” Big Whale was just as surprised as his comrades. When he heard the meaningful and fake coughs, the pressure in his heart multiplied. He hurriedly stood up. It was broad daylight. He felt that he didn’t know where to place his hands and feet. In the end, he placed them on his lower abdomen obediently… Cough, he could at least block it!
It wasn’t the female soldier who felt awkward. It was the male soldier who was wearing a tight diving suit. His figure was too obvious.
With a slight smile on her lips, Ye Jian didn’t seem to notice Big Whale’s actions. She smiled and said, “Judging from your build and the way you looked at me when I came over just now, I think you’re Big Whale.”
“Have a seat. Just tell me if you need anything.”
As she spoke, she took out a dagger from her waist and pointed at a few clams that hadn’t been pried open. “Do you want to open this too?”
“Oh, yes, yes. If you’re hungry, you can eat first.”
She was indeed a highly intelligent female soldier. Last night, she didn’t even see his face. Today, she was able to tell that he was Big Whale based on his body shape and gaze. Her observation skills were very good.
Big Whale watched as Ye Jian skillfully cut open the clams. She didn’t remove the entire piece of meat from the shell. Instead, she removed the inedible parts and left the white and fresh meat behind. She slowly cut the meat around the shell with the military dagger in her hand. Then, she cut the bottom of the entire piece of meat horizontally. She finished shelling a clam in two minutes.
“This method of cutting is rare.” Big Whale found it interesting. There was no need to cut the meat into slices. When they were eating, they would raise one end and slurp it like noodles. “Let me learn this method. I will be able to use it in the future. Where did you learn it?”
Don’t underestimate this small talk. Big Whale had already started to make discreet inquiries.
