“I’ll make do with hugging your feet and warm you up for a little bit; how about it? Are you satisfied with the service from this human heater?” Major Xia, who had seen through her plans, was unmoved as he pulled her feet towards his embrace.
The marching multifunctional sleeping bag was different than normal sleeping bags; the standard sleeping bag was designed according to the human body; it was a one-piece design that was wide at the shoulders and narrow at the feet.
On the other hand, the multipurpose sleeping bag they were using had sleeves like shirts. This was designed to make it easier for soldiers sleeping on the march to quickly grab ahold of their weapons the moment they discovered something unusual.
The sleeping bag had two-sided zippers; in order let Ye Jian’s feet press closer against his body, he pulled the two-sided zipper down to his chest before hugging Ye Jian’s feet; that’s why, if Ye Jian moved even slightly, he could feel the wind in the mountains funneling towards his chest.
That’s why he exclaimed softly: “Don’t move, my chest is cold; you also don’t want me to catch a cold, right?”
They could still rest for a little while longer, she was on her period now, and she needed to get as much rest as possible.
Even knowing that he was clearly acting pitifully, Ye Jian still couldn’t steel herself, so she could only whisper: “I’m feeling much better now, the reason why I wasn’t doing well yesterday was mainly because I was soaked in water for the past few days, and after getting a good night’s rest, I’m really okay now.”
“If you don’t believe it, I’ll come over, and you can take a look.”
With that, Xia Jinyuan believed her; he let go when he heard her talk, and he sat up at the same time; he pulled his right arm out of the sleeping bag’s sleeve and gently caressed Ye Jian’s cheeks; it was warm, her body temperature was much more normal than last night.
Whether her circulation was good or not, he had no way of getting a clear look; for now, he’ll only know about it when the sun is up.
Finally, she could pull her legs back, immediately letting out a sigh of relief; even the expression between Ye Jian’s brows seemed much more relaxed, that’s why she didn’t stop him from caressing her cheeks.
“Did you feel my body getting much warmer?” Her face felt the gentle touch of his fingertips; it was very light and very gentle, like a flower gently landing into one’s heart, filling her heart with the scent that made her emotions sweet; Ye Jian beamed as she looked at the man’s vague contour, the smile on her lips were quite deep, “There’s no way I can take care of my body during training, but I wouldn’t push myself when it’s time to rest.”
During training and executing missions, no matter how many problems her body had, she’ll have to pull through it, that’s the tenacious willpower that every soldier must have, and when it’s time to rest, she’ll adjust her body. She wouldn’t let her body not get it’s deserved rest when it was time to rest.
She needed to become stronger, but she would never push herself for a temporary strength.
After pulling back his hand, Xia Jinyuan gazed at his girlfriend that sat in front of him; he lowered his voice into a chuckle: “Indeed, it seems like your human burner has some uses, after all, even your voice feels vigorous, there should be no problems left.”
“I have no way to endure something like this in your stead; you’ll have to bear with the pain.”
Ye Jian: “….” Let’s change the topic; she didn’t want to have a conversation around her physical problems, but last night, it was precisely because of him that she could sleep so soundly; she thanked him generously, “Yes, I am lucky for Q King to take care of me last night, that’s why I am so energetic today.”
“How are you going to thank me?” Xia Jinyuan didn’t let Ye Jian have a moment to catch a breather, and he quickly continued, “If you give me a more physical type of thanks, then I’ll be even happier. Of course, we can only keep tabs on it, and we’ll settle it after the training is over.”
Bringing his girlfriend into his own unit, Major Xia suddenly discovered he could occasionally spend time wisely to flirt and romance… it cannot be left unsaid, that was really an excellent way to kill two birds!
