It was raining outside, even though he would like her to see him get on the car, they’ll have to stop here, his slim body turned around, and his black pupils that were as gentle as dark jade smiled at her, “You can go upstairs, it’s raining, and it’s not easy to walk in.”
The car couldn’t get downstairs, so he’ll have to walk the rest of the way.
Ye Jian glanced at the curtain of rain and pointed at the corners of his pants, “Pull up your pants a little; there’s quite a lot of mud, be careful of getting your pants dirty.”
The Border Guard Company’s base was still in construction, and the two-story building they were staying in had just been built not long ago. The exterior greenification had yet to be completed, and it wasn’t easy for cars to get in, neither was it easy to walk in; wherever the rain flowed, it became muddy water that was mixed with yellow dirt.
Ye Jian remembered about Qin Xiu’s cleanliness; that’s why she reminded him.
Qin Xiu beamed, “I’m not a clean freak; it’s just that I had to maintain my appearance at all times, and after so long, it had turned into a habit.” Though he said that, he still bent down to roll the corners of his pants up.
The Bureau of Foreign Affairs’ staff member beside them chuckled a little; clean freaks normally don’t think they were clean freaks.
Ye Jian also started to chuckle; if it wasn’t because he was short on time, she would’ve started putting her fingers up to tell him about how much he liked the cleanliness, one action after the other.
A black umbrella was opened, Qin Xiu held the handle, and underneath the black umbrella, the man with elegant features nodded and smiled at Ye Jian. Under the misty lights, his gentle eyes bore a faint fondness. Without waiting for Ye Jian to discover that, he lowered the corners of the umbrella a little so that the umbrella’s shadow managed to cover over his eyes, turning around, the figure as slim as bamboo walked into the darkness, then slowly disappeared from sight.
“Ambassador, that female soldier… was that the female soldier who accompanied you out?” The accompanying staff asked out of curiosity, “She’s really pretty; when the two of you stood together, I felt like my eyes had been blessed.”
Wanted to praise Ye Jian’s beauty but was afraid mentioning her alone would seem quite frivolous, so Qin Xiu was praised along.
Usually, when Qin Xiu heard something like that, he would’ve just smiled and ignored it.
Today, however, he was interested, after a bland “Oh,” he smiled: “Why would you think that?”
“Both of you look great and seem like a good match together.” The staff laughed. What he said was true; a handsome guy and a beautiful woman standing together looked quite matching; at the very least, they matched each other from their appearance.
Do they really look like a good match?
Qin Xiu shook his head gently; amidst the wind and rain came his quiet sigh; what he wanted wasn’t to look matching. Instead, he wanted them to be absolutely matching.
He stopped the conversation with the staff member, not wanting others to see through his thoughts as well; everything was still not clear, there are still some things that he needed to make sure of, so for now, nobody should be allowed to know.
Let’s say if Ye Jian doesn’t have a boyfriend, then it would still be okay if rumors that he liked her spread around; however, if she really had a boyfriend, then something similar was spread that would be too unfair for her.
In this world, men are treated quite leniently while women are treated very harshly.
Ye Jian’s achievements today were solely reliant on her blood, sweat, and tears; he didn’t want some baseless rumors to destroy her beginning; he didn’t have that qualification.
The staff was still excited to carry on the conversation but seeing Qin Xiu didn’t have any intention of continuing on, the staff who more or less understood his personality had also chosen a suitable time to end their topic.
Rain landed on the umbrella, pitter-patter, seemed quite rushed as if urging someone to return quickly.
Ye Jian stood there in the corridor until his figure had completely left her line of sight, did she turn around to go upstairs.
Turning around, her gaze scanned forwards without any intentions, then saw the man who had been ‘escorted’ by her into his room was standing by the door, his body lazily leaned against the doorframe, his handsome face wore a smile and who knew how long he had been staring at her.
