J5 was very familiar with the place. The repair shop where no one entertained seemed to be empty due to the war, leaving only piles of scrap copper and rusty iron.
There were various scattered parts stained with black engine oil in the corner, and even the air exuded a greasy engine oil smell, which was even more unpleasant than the smell of gunpowder smoke.
Walking from the outside to the inside of the repair shop, there wasn’t anyone else except for a few of them. J5 was familiar with the shop as if he opened it.
Walking past a triangular canopy built with rain cloths, then past a small house nailed with wooden planks, and then over a stone wall, they pushed open a self-welded iron door and were finally in the cabin on the second floor that they had seen from outside downstairs.
This place was like a different world from the place they had walked past earlier. The outside was shabby and chaotic and, in here, had an unknown big tree with thick branches and knots, providing a green and peaceful space in the backyard.
The front yard was chaotic, but the backyard was quiet. It could be seen that the owner of the repair shop was still very particular about life.
Stepping on the wooden nailed ladder to the second floor of the cabin, J5 pushed open the door of the second room and smiled at Ye Jian, “Ye Jian, come, you rest in this room. We’ll stay in the next room. It is safe here. You can take a nap and rest.”
Ye Jian glanced into the room. The furnishings of the room were very simple. There was only one bed, two bedside tables, and one coat rack, but it was quite clean, and even the floor was bright enough to be shiny and reflective.
“It’s so clean; I should take a shower to get rid of the dust on my body first.” V8 leaned forward and glanced into the room. He couldn’t be more satisfied with the temporary resting place.
Ye Jian chuckled upon hearing his words. She was about to take off her shoes and go in, “Then I have to take a shower first too.”
“There is a separate bathroom inside.” J5 spoke as he dragged V8, who was about to take off his shoes, out of the room, “Ye Jian is going to her room to rest. What are you trying to do, taking off your shoes and going into the room together?”
“…” V8, who was caught off guard, was at a loss. “Rest, eh, otherwise, what can I do going into the room.”
Snow Eagle had already proactively pushed open the door of the next room, poked his head out, and said to V8, “I’ll go to bed first. You guys continue to chat there, alright.”
K7, who came up last, was the same as before. As long as he walked out of the combat situation, he had a low sense of presence. He had already opened the door and entered the first room as they were speaking, ready to take a good sleep.
J5 patted V8 on the back with his hand and said in a funny tone, “This is Ye Jian’s room. You are a man, and you want to go into the same room; what are you trying to do, eh?”
……
With the reminder of his comrade, V8 suddenly understood how careless he was.
He smacked his forehead and quickly explained to Ye Jian, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I thought everyone was resting in the same room. I wasn’t thinking for a moment, sorry, sorry.”
He really wasn’t thinking. He usually carried out tasks with his comrades and would not consider who would sleep in the same place with whom. He even forgot that although Ye Jian was his comrade, she was of a different gender.
Seeing his embarrassment on his face, Ye Jian faintly guessed what he was thinking. She looked at him and smiled gently, “Don’t worry, I understand. For a moment, you forget that I’m a girl, right?”
V8, whose inner thoughts were seen through, was a bit embarrassed; he chuckled, “…That…That is really the case. I really forgot.” It was mainly because of the battle just now; her fierce performance really made it easy for people to forget that she was actually a female soldier.
She was more like a male soldier than a male soldier!
