His embrace was her harbor, and she felt at ease when she returned to her harbor.
“Congratulations, Blue Bird!” He hugged her tightly and called her code name in a low voice. This was a hug from a comrade, not a hug between lovers.
After taking a deep breath of the refreshing smell of her lover, Ye Jian opened her eyes and answered with a smile, “Thank you! Sorry for making you worry.”
He was really worried but also very proud.
“My little girl has grown up; I’m proud of you, Little Fox.” Xia Jinyuan couldn’t bear to let go of her in his arms. Hugging her small, soft body in his arms, filling all the holes in his heart in an instant. It really felt that she was back; she was back peacefully.
Feeling a little helpless, he clearly told her that no matter who went out to fight, the person who stayed waited should wait with peace of mind, no worry, no fear, even if the partner sacrificed…that was the way a soldier should take.
But when he really learned that she went out to fight alone and accompanied the Chinese Ambassador to a war-torn country for negotiations without any equipment, his heart felt a heavy blow. His heart couldn’t rest well.
Waiting was a terrible thing. It was torture, both physically and mentally.
If he wanted to get used to fighting individually, he had to adapt.
Ye Jian felt his arms tremble faintly and knew in her heart that he had been worried about her. She patted his broad back lightly and whispered, “Because you are my target. I have to work hard to catch up. I can’t let you wait too long.”
This Little Fox was so stupid sometimes… It really made him feel distressed.
She felt sorry for him when she knew that he didn’t get promoted, but she didn’t feel sorry for herself for working so hard and feeling so tired.
Those cuts on her face… didn’t she feel pain? Yet, she still thought about catching up with his footsteps.
He couldn’t bear her being tired, but sometimes he could only stand by and watch her.
He lowered his head and kissed her cheeks lightly, “Go back to your room and change your clothes first, have some rest. I’ll send you back to school tomorrow. Your school leader called the military department. He hopes you can go back to prepare for the exercise in May as soon as possible.”
Compared to other military academy cadets, Ye Jian had taken leaves a bit more often than them. The military school leaders worried that this would make Ye Jian fall back in her subjects.
With an umbrella in his hand, Qin Xiu looked at the leaving figures quietly; his gaze through the rain was a bit solemn.
He wanted to give her an umbrella, but what he saw was… she trotted, a little urgently, and threw herself into the arms of a man in a military uniform like a sparrow returning into the forest.
The intimacy between the two was as if they were the only couple in the big world, and he was an intruder, glimpsing a scene that shouldn’t be seen.
Lover? Comrades?
Suddenly he was a little uncertain, but in his heart, he hoped that he was her comrade, not… lover.
J5, who came by, saw that Qin Xiu’s hand holding the umbrella was a little tight, and then he looked at the two figures that left. J5 felt his eyelids twitching. An unbelievable thought passed through his mind.
No way!
Impossible!
Could he be mistaken?
Perhaps he had thought too much?
Ambassador…liked Blue Bird? Fancied Blue Bird?
J5 only felt the twitch in his eyelids getting worse. Things shouldn’t develop like this. Blue Bird… Q King had long liked her. He had waited for her for years.
At the moment, he couldn’t explain anything. J5 pretended he didn’t see it. He smiled and said, “Ambassador, let’s go back to our room and change our clothes as soon as possible. It’s getting cold. Finally, we can return to China; we don’t want to catch a cold, do we.”
