“Little fox, have you become silly? Would I make up such a story just because I’m worried that you’ll feel guilty?” The cautiousness in her expression deeply pierced his heart. His girl had suffered so much from childhood. Before meeting Old Uncle Gen and Uncle Chen, she didn’t have any love and care from her family, let alone the protection she deserved. Therefore, she was so afraid of losing this family feeling and beautiful memories, and even more so afraid of hurting the people who cared about her.
Holding her fingers tightly, Xia Jinyuan said in a soft and gentle voice, “The things between two families can’t be said in a few words. If you are interested, I will tell you more next time.”
Ye Jian finally believed him. The frown between her eyebrows was clearly loosened, and she smiled, “No wonder Du Jiayi didn’t like me when I spoke. It’s because of you.”
Seeing her laugh, Xia Jinyuan’s heartfelt soft. When she was fourteen and younger, no one loved or sheltered her. She had always been oppressed by Ye Zhifan’s family. She had grown up in such an environment, but she could still be physically and mentally healthy. If his dad was here, he would say, “This girl is the daughter of a martyr; she is surely different from others.”
She was indeed different. It was Xia Jinyuan’s luck to meet such a unique girl.
Therefore, he didn’t want to see her sad because of old stuff. His girl should be happy. He hoped for happiness for his girl even if the military road was full of thorns.
If she were not happy, he would take away her grief and let her regain happiness.
Major Xia, who treasured Ye Jian the most, squeezed her slender hand in his big hand lightly. His thin lips slightly raised into a nasty smile, “I actually don’t want to accept your ‘thank you’ because if I did, I can’t make other requests. But if I don’t accept, I’m worried that you’ll feel uneasy.” For a moment, Xia Jinyuan started to be cheeky again.
“How about I accept your ‘thank you’, and then you give me a little bit of sweetness, like… a kiss?” Speaking of sweetness, Major Xia, who had forgotten the pain from his scars, became energized again. His eyes quickly swept across his comrades, who all had their eyes closed, then he turned his handsome face to Ye Jian, “Just one kiss.”
Ye Jian always felt helpless at times like this; why did the serious and noble Major Xia could only maintain his “seriousness” for only five minutes in front of her. Apart from being able to be serious in combat, it seemed like there weren’t any other times where he could maintain his seriousness.
She felt annoyed listening to his cheeky words!
Fortunately, the comrades who had been traveling all day all night had already fallen asleep soundly, using each other as a pillow; even J5 and G3 sitting across from them had their eyes closed as if they were sleeping soundly. This made Ye Jian feel less embarrassed.
“Shy? Then I’ll close mine too…”
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Jian suddenly leaned forward, locked on her target, and gave him a slightly cool and tender kiss. Her target: Major Xia’s thin lips.
The slightly cool touch really gave Major Xia a surprise… His little fox actually boldly kissed his lips in front of their comrades in the car!
And he actually closed his eyes and didn’t get to see it!
“What do you think? Your dessert is pretty tasty, right?” Ye Jian had already sat up straight at this moment. She asked him calmly, “Compared with the dessert you want; I think this dessert should be more suitable to you, Captain Xia.”
Although it was more like a peck, she had kissed him! What did this mean? This meant that his girl had begun to accept him completely!
