The slender figure was getting closer and closer, from the outline of the figure to its facial features gradually becoming clearer, until… the person stood upright in front of Li Jinnian, raised her hand, and saluted: “Ye Jian, report! Completed 5000 meters cross-country swim!”
A group of ruthless water ghosts sat by the side, looking at each other. Then, they somehow put their legs together slightly, smiled, bowed their heads, and silently prepared breakfast for the soldiers who had not come yet.
The appetite of dozens of men was not so big, and there was no proper food that would fill up their stomachs such as rice, noodles, dumplings, etc. There was only sashimi, raw snails… and others that weren’t fulfilling and also nauseating.
Li Jinnian’s first reaction when he saw Ye Jian was not to answer but to glance at the other water ghosts coldly. When he saw all of them were trying to look away, he faintly retracted his gaze.
As Big Prawn said, the new female soldier Ye Jian was indeed…beautiful, and her eyes were the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen; they were as bright as a star.
He raised his hand and returned a military salute to Ye Jian, his voice was cold as he said: “Return to the team and rest.”
“Yes, Sir!” Ye Jian, who was looking directly at him, simply turned around, put her special shoes aside first, and patrolled her eyes slightly. When she saw a familiar figure, she smiled and walked over, “Big Whale, is there anything I can help?”
After breakfast and rest time, it was time for a 500-meter deep dive. All the water ghosts were in tight black rubber diving suits, they saw Ye Jian walking straight to Big Whale. Several of them coughed a few times.
Li Jinnian’s cold gaze glanced at them; he stopped at the water ghost who was fake coughing, immediately causing him to look down and silently stare at the work in his hand… Right, I have to prepare breakfast!
“…You know me? How did you know me?” Big Whale was as surprised as his comrades. Hearing their fake coughing and feeling the pressure, he quickly stood up. He suddenly didn’t know where to put his hands and feet. Finally, he rested them on his lower abdomen properly,…cough, okay, at least this way I can block a bit!
The arrival of a female soldier brought awkwardness, not to her, but to the male soldiers who were wearing their diving suit… it was too revealing; they were shy.
With a slight smile, Ye Jian didn’t seem to notice Big Whale’s movement, she continued: “Judging from your body shape, and when I walked over, the way you looked at me was like an acquaintance, so I guess you should be Big Whale.”
“Sit down, if you need anything, just let me know.”
As he spoke, he drew out a fighting dagger from his waist, pointed to a few clamshells that hadn’t been pried open, “Do you want to pry open those?”
“Oh, sure, sure, you can eat first if you’re hungry.”
Sure enough, this female soldier was really smart. She didn’t even see his face last night. But somehow, she managed to recognize him based on his figure and eyes. She had strong observation skills.
Big Whale watched Ye Jian skillfully cut the clamshells. She did not peel off the whole piece of shellfish to remove the inedible meat. Instead, she left the white and fresh shellfish inside slowly cut around the shellfish with a military knife in her hand. Then, she cut out the whole piece of scallop meat from the bottom side. This whole process took only two minutes.
“This kind of cutting method is quite rare.” Big Whale thought it was a bit interesting. She didn’t need to cut into slices. She just cut them into circles and lifted one end to eat. It was just like eating from the end of a noodle. “I shall also learn this method. Where did you learn it from?”
Although this was just a casual chat, Big Whale was already inquiring silently.
