Coming from an affluent family in Jiangnan’s Water Town, Crane’s aesthetics was slightly better than his comrades; when Ye Jian picked up a pair of jeans and a white T-shirt, he couldn’t bear to look at her.
He blurted out with the question, “Do you like jeans and white T-shirts?” Ye Jian only answered him with one word: convenient.
The word convenient had stunned Crane for at least three minutes, the girls he had met before could spend hours on deciding their outfit and makeup, and his mother was even worse; she would start preparing her outfit for the next day the night before.
After meeting with so many women who waste so much time on their outfits, when he suddenly heard Ye Jian say ‘convenient,’ Crane didn’t come to his senses for quite a while.
Very quickly, he understood.
Ye Jian wasn’t one of the girls he had met in the past, Ye Jian was a soldier, and for soldiers, time wasn’t something that could be wasted; in the pursuit for efficiency, of course, they’ll choose whatever is most convenient.
In the end, he volunteered to pick out the clothes Ye Jian was currently wearing, a loose pair of brown cotton and linen trousers that would make her legs appear longer, and then matched it with sky-blue cotton and linen, loose, short-sleeved T-shirt, and a pair of Bohemian-styled flat sandals, after putting on the clothes, even Ye Jian herself was astonished.
By the time she had finished changing, both Crane and Roadrunner’s stunning looks were evident.
She was really gorgeous! Tall and slim, fair skin, and her delicate features that contained a chilly expression, yet there was gentleness by the corner of her eyes, giving her an aura that resembled ice and fire, and was absolutely attractive.
After she was wearing a straw hat with a circle of plastic wrapped around it, there was a playful feeling around her.
Seeing Ye Jian was still a ways away from them, Crane mumbled quietly: “In the future, Lil’ Ye will turn into the flower of our platoon, and the outstanding type as well.”
“Life would be more wonderful.” Roadrunner summed up incisively.
A female soldier joining a group of male soldiers, wouldn’t that make their lives light up? And they would set up plenty of rules in private!
Stepping towards them with the sunlight, Ye Jian didn’t know that her comrades were talking about her; after passing the breakfast into the duo’s hands, she asked with a smile, “So, which route would be better?”
They couldn’t control their entire route, but they should still know the approximate way at the very least, and the map was the way they could grasp the approximate direction, and that was also to make it easy for them to escape immediately if something happens.
“Although travelling is easy, but the city roads are intricate and complex, even old drivers would get lost.” Rolling the map into his hands, Crane bit on his chicken roll, while he was observing his surroundings and saw several men with totems tattooed on their forearms banged on the glass window of a taxi car; his gaze darkened as he whispered: “Seems like this street isn’t peaceful anymore, we’ll talk while we walk.”
He knew the language here and could discern with clarity what these burly men were saying.
Ye Jian’s pupils darkened slightly; the extent of Antonio’s influence had exceeded the trio’s imagination by too much, then what about Captain Xia who had returned? Was he doing okay?
Her shoulder was patted gently as Crane said: “Come, let’s get in that car.”
“Okay.” Concealing her worries properly, Ye Jian didn’t let her comrades sense her oddity and flagged a smile on her face as she got onto the taxi.
She believed in Captain Xia’s ability, yet she didn’t believe in him being able to slip away without a scratch.
The taxi had driven for less than three kilometers, and when they turned into a street, there was a jam, and the sounds of honking was so loud it was deafening.
While the vehicle was slowly rolling across the ground, the trio had encountered several burly men banging on the glass window; the taxi driver had rolled down the window when they were knocking the first time, afraid that these men would break his car.
A burly man leaned against the window and stared at Ye Jian with a wanton look; Crane and Longhawk, who was also sitting in the back, were being looked up and down by two burly men.
