Precisely because we had a group of “Military Greens” who had a light outlook on their own deaths, who protected their country’s pride and honor like their own lives, and precisely because of them, could their nation stand independent and their citizens live peacefully!
Immersed in her comrade’s story, Ye Jian had already forgotten there were love marks on her neck, while XIa Jinyuan sitting beside her, let out a breath of relief; he couldn’t help but secretly wonder: Can he also share his story here?
Outside, Qin Xiu had managed to ask which room Ye Jian was staying, because something came up, he was required to return to the Capital ahead of time and was now knocking on Ye Jian’s door, after three knocks, he chuckled: “Ye Jian, it’s me, Qin Xiu.”
It was very quiet inside as if nobody was inside.
Qin Xiu looked at the room number; he wasn’t mistaken; it was indeed Ye Jian’s room.
“Maybe she went into another room?” A staff of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs accompanying him back to the Capital reinded, “There are quite a lot of soldiers that the Military had deployed here, maybe she went to visit her comrades.”
……
The scene he had seen this morning flashed in front of Qin Xiu’s mind; his elegant face seemed to have grown darker, maybe…
“Let’s go.”
He didn’t continue knocking on the door, nor did he continue his search; after a gentle sigh, he turned around and left.
Ye Jian’s room was also on the second floor, the difference was, Qin Xiu’s room was on the other end of the second floor, while Ye Jian’s room was on this end, the two of them, one was at the front while the other was near the back and didn’t know that the other person was staying on the same floor.
It was already ten o’clock at night, Qin Xiu was rushing to catch his flight at 2 a.m., the Border Guard Company was quite far away from the airport, and they needed nearly two hours driving to arrive there, ten minutes ago, he had received orders to return to the Capital immediately, after he had tidied up his belongings, he left immediately, and there wasn’t enough time for him to look for Ye Jian now.
Downstairs, Ye Jian was saying “Good night” to Xia Jinyuan and the others; at the same time, she used her eyes to glare at Xia Jinyuan, who wanted to follow her upstairs, and she “escorted” him back to his room along with their comrades, then she returned to the second floor by herself.
Someone was coming down the stairs of the second floor; Ye Jian raised her head and then saw Qin Xiu, who had reached the intermediate platform, who was preparing to come down.
“Qin Xiu? You’re… returning to the Capital tonight?” Ye Jian’s gaze landed on the small, black suitcase in his hands when they came here from the Capital; that was the black suitcase he carried that all diplomats were matched with.
Qin Xiu, who had given up on bidding his farewells, didn’t expect to see Ye Jian after walking down the stairs; a light flashed past his eyes as he flagged a smile, “Yep, the Bureau called, so I’ve got to leave ahead of schedule.”
The man in a suit walked down with elegant steps, radiating confidence and the noble air that he seemed to be born with, “I wanted to bid farewell to you just now, didn’t expect to meet you here.”
“Sorry about that; I went to have a chat with my comrades in the reception room.” Ye Jian was quite embarrassed; he came to especially bid farewell to her, but in the end, she wasn’t even in the room; that seemed quite discourteous.
Now that she encountered him, then she must be proactive and see him off.
What she didn’t know was, the smile in Qin Xiu’s smile deepened because of her explanation, “No wonder you weren’t in your room, so you just went to have a chat with your comrades, is it because you slept too much during the day, that’s why you couldn’t sleep at night?”
He walked down; Ye Jian naturally turned around to see him off and walked down the stairs with him.
The corners of Qin Xiu’s lips raised a little more.
“It’s true that I had slept too much during the day; by the time I woke up, it was already dark, so I don’t feel like sleeping now.” Ye Jian answered, under the misty lights; her features didn’t bore the usual edges and corners and seemed extremely gentle now.
Qin Xiu, who used the corner of his eye to glance at Ye Jian, his heart palpitated with excitement.
