Elite Platoon was the gathering spot of all-rounded talents; each and every member had an impressive educational background, all of them were elites of the army, and each one of them were extremely talented; while communicating with them, Ye Jian started to slowly forget about her embarrassment.
But she did keep in mind that there were hickeys on her neck, that’s why she kept sitting there in a behaved manner and didn’t dare to make any big movements.
J5 and K7 were also warding the line of sight, whether intentionally or by accident, so that Ye Jian would feel more comfortable, Xia Jinyuan watched it, and the laughter he was holding in his heart was starting to hurt.
In the end, he wrapped his arms around J5 and K7’s shoulders; he smiled: “The two of you, stop warding over her. The more you do that, the more uncomfortable she feels; just act like nothing has happened, and it’ll be fine.”
He knew his comrades had well-intentions, but sometimes well intentions paved the road to hell.
While he sat there, he had already received who knows how many ‘bladed gazes’ from his little fox; he had a feeling that his ‘bodily offering’ tonight would have twists and turns.
If his comrades keep shielding his little fox like this, in the end… the one receiving all the pain would be him.
J5 and K7 heard that and turned their necks to look at Ye Jian out of instinct; Xia Jinyuan said frankly: “Don’t look, she’s already uncomfortable enough, if you guys look at her, then she’ll know that I told you guys something, brothers, leave me a way to survive. In this day and age, getting a girlfriend is such a hard task; what say you two?”
That’s right, in this day and age, especially for guys like them who live on the edge of a blade, getting a girlfriend was too hard.
Let’s take G3 as an example, that girlfriend of his who volunteered to teach in the impoverished mountain villages, he had taken quite long to even get her as a girlfriend.
After this mission was over, he’ll go back and host an engagement dinner back at his hometown, then get their marriage certificate, then… one week later, he’ll have to rush back to the unit and start training for their competition overseas.
With Xia Jinyuan’s reminder tonight, the duo stopped paying attention to Ye Jian, which had indeed made Ye Jian feel much more at ease.
X was explaining how he had been terrorized into joining the Elite Platoon back then, “… it was so scary that Y2 and I didn’t dare to sleep in the middle of the night, we were very timid back then, and though we had somehow landed into the sights of some bigshot that shouldn’t be crossed, afraid that if we don’t pay attention, our petty lives would be gone.”
“One week later, both Y2 and I lost a whole ten pounds! A whole ten pounds. Then, Blue Bird, you guess what happens?”
Ye Jian was listening with relish, she asked with a smile: “So what happened?”
“Because Y2 and my weight were slightly heavier than average, we wouldn’t have met the requirements to join the unit if we hadn’t lost weight, and after our ten pounds of weight loss because of their terrorizing… we met the requirements! A whole truck of us was pulled to some random mountain, for half a year, the entire half a year, we slept and ate in the mountains, the guys with us had fallen one after the other, and were carried away in helis.”
“Y2 and I didn’t dare to fall down; we had escaped with our lives to join the military; if we f****** fell down there, then we’ll be forced to go back and continue the rest of our lives living in fear.”
“Y2’s entire family are Traditional Medicine practitioners, and somehow made a mutant like him, but at least he still recognized some of the herbs, so the brothers in hardship relied on his herbal medicine to cure diarrhea and pain and whatnot to live through the half-year long of bitter days… At the start, the two of us were picked on by the brutes in our unit, we were originally fine gentlemen, but after one year, we were forced to turn into real men after their torture!”
Each Elite Platoon’s comrade’s story was like a book, a story, and the content of their stories had their ups and downs, which drew in listeners.
Listening to such a story, and with a bunch of people sitting around in a circle, Ye Jian glanced at the green military uniforms they wore and thought about the neighboring country’s civil war, thinking about the neighboring country’s commoners that died in the ashes and flames, and her mood turned agitated.
Our country, precisely because we had the protection of the “military uniforms,” that’s why, she did not have any worries about bravely entering the neighboring country, she dared to pick up the gun in her hand, to point it at the enemies who were going to harm her. To be able to go abroad without fear, as well as return home with rhyme and reason.
