Du Jiayi was calm, especially when facing her leader; she could speak properly without spilling her true intentions. Upon hearing her instructor’s words, she narrowed her eyes, but her expression was humble, “You are right; we really lack the courage. Although we are literary and artistic soldiers, we are all still soldiers, so we must not lack courage.”
She is quite smart; she actually managed to reverse the instructor’s idea and have a different impression on me instead… Du Jiayi kept a decent smile, but her eyes stared at Ye Jian closely, and her thoughts became more poisonous.
She had beautiful eyes, clear and black. Hmph, this kind of female soldier was definitely used to act innocent.
It’s a pity that there is no way for her to see how she really looked beneath the mask.
But it doesn’t matter. She knew her name, so she could investigate her when they returned to Beijing. It’s always easy for her, Du Jiayi, to find out about other people’s details.
She originally wanted to make her life difficult, but she had obviously failed because the instructor clearly appreciated her, so now she could only keep her hands to herself temporarily. It was too late to take action afterward.
She (Ye Jian) had seen her during her most embarrassing time, and she (Ye Jian) was suspicious of her, and now, she (Ye Jian) managed to counter her attack. Heh, she (Du Jiayi) really liked to clean up female soldiers, like Ye Jian, who was born with hard bones. There was no need to rush; she (Du Jiayi) would clean her (Ye Jian) up until she wouldn’t even know who did it to her.
Du Jiayi finished speaking with a decent smile across her face, and then she kept watching Ye Jian. Her eyes were not gentle, but with arrogance and prejudice.
Ye Jian dealt with it as usual. Du Jiayi smiled lightly at her and then turned to Instructor Gao, who was talking.
“That’s right. No matter what kind of unit you are, as long as you wear this uniform, you are a soldier. You must not lose the pride of a soldier and the image of a soldier.” Instructor Gao was satisfied with Du Jiayi’s answer and gave her a thumbs up approvingly. Then, he spoke to Liu Yuan, “If there is anything, we can explain by ourselves as much as possible. We don’t have to trouble the army.”
A male soldier from the Cultural Engineering Troupe walked over, looking as if he had something to say to Instructor Gao. He greeted Du Jiayi, smiled slightly at Ye Jian, and said, “Excuse me,” then helped Instructor Gao over.
Liu Yuan replied to Instructor Gao with a serious expression, “Understand; you can rest assured, we will not cause trouble to the army!”
“I’m always rest assured having you guys to handle matters.” Instructor Gao said lastly before leaving with the male soldier.
Liu Yuan immediately politely said to Ye Jian, “Come, let’s have a break together. The men are shoveling snow. We will help them afterward and shovel the snow together. How about that?”
Du Jiayi laughed as if she had just heard a joke, “As long as the male soldiers are not afraid of us making more trouble. If you girls need help, just let me know. We must not lose to the male soldiers. We have to let them see that us female soldiers are strong as well!”
She turned to Liu Yuan and continued with a smile, “Liu Yuan, you can’t be like the last time, fainted before the work has started, okay? We can’t embarrass the Cultural Engineering Troupe. We must let the army soldiers in China see that the female soldiers of the Cultural Engineering Troupe are more than just singing and dancing. As long as the female soldiers of the Cultural Engineering Troupe need us, we must all be able to complete the tasks assigned to us by our superiors.”
“Ye Jian, please take care of my comrades. If you have any problems, please come to me at any time. If you feel unwell, you must respond to us in time. You can’t hold on for the sake of face, you know.”
