After sending her to the Academy, he was definitely going to depart on another flight; she didn’t want to see him go through so much trouble.
Xia Jinyuan grabbed the light luggage from her hands and beamed: “Although I don’t have too many holidays, I still have enough time to send my girlfriend back to school. Besides, I just received a call from my Third Brother; there’s something I have to tell you; we’ll talk on the way.”
Half an hour earlier, Xia’s family’s Third Brother, who was in Missile R&D, called and replied to the information Xia Jinyuan had asked for him to seek out two days ago.
Ye Jian chased after his steps, her dainty brows creased together: “It’s going to take several hours to go back to the Academy from here; what do you need to say that would take several hours? Captain Xia, right now, you need to rest in peace; I don’t want anything to happen to you.”
In her last sentence, Ye Jian’s voice turned extremely serious.
“I still have three days of leave, little fox; if I could, I would stay with you for the entire three days.” Xia Jinyuan lowered his head and murmured: “We’re living days where we spend more time separated than together, now that I have time, I just want to be with you, look at you more, and talk with you more.”
His quiet voice sounded heavy, and most of it was resignation. Ye Jian didn’t continue.
“It’s the same for me too….” She quietly answered; those few words carried so deep emotions that made Xia Jinyuan’s heart melt.
She had also missed her lover like he did.
“Exactly like how you treat yourself well for my sake, I would also take care of myself.” Walking out of the new building and taking the opportunity when nobody was around, Xia Jinyuan quickly lowered his head and landed a kiss on Ye Jian’s cheek, “Don’t worry about my injury, after sending you back to school, I’ll get on a plane and go back to the capital.”
Ye Jian couldn’t come out from the Academy at night; even if Xia Jinyuan had to leave, he could only go back before that.
Xia Jinyuan had his insistence, so Ye Jian took a step back; when they were about to get onto the vehicle, she gently tugged at his fingers, she pursed her lips as she whispered: “Send me to the airport, don’t go to my school. Your flight to the capital is at 7; if you send me back to school, you wouldn’t have enough time.”
After sending her to school, he’ll have to return to the airport immediately; going here and there so many times would be too tiring!
“Okay, I’ll listen to your orders this time.” She had already given him so much leeway. Naturally, he’ll have to give in. In a relationship, you don’t always have to have a winner or a loser, sometimes taking a step back was just to make the other person feel more comfortable.
With his promise, Ye Jian’s footsteps onto the vehicle appeared much lighter.
Only after getting into the car did she know he was talking about her father.
Ye Jian’s father, Fu Yusheng, was the Chief Engineer of a particular Missile Base in the Northwest. Meanwhile, Xia Jinyuan’s Third Brother was also in that same Missile Base, last time, after being informed in Old Uncle Fu’s home, he had the intention of asking his Third Brother to seek out the information.
And he had gotten the phone call this morning, and they had the latest news.
“Your Father and my Third Brother are in the same Missile Base. However, your father is the Chief Engineer in charge of another project, so my brother doesn’t have much contact with your father. After asking around, did he know your father wasn’t currently in the base, as to where, even Third Brother doesn’t know, wherever the Chief Engineer goes is top secret, so even his closest colleagues would not even have a clue.”
Suddenly hearing the latest news about her biological father, Ye Jian’s complexion stiffened for a moment; after a while, she said: “Is that so? Then the letter I wrote him… probably wouldn’t reach his hands so quickly.”
“Mainly depends when Father-in-Law comes back, my brother only knows that Father-in-Law wasn’t in the base, as to when he had departed, and when he would be coming back, that he had no way of knowing.”
Xia Jinyuan very naturally changed his words, putting in “Father-in-Law” so naturally like they had been family for so long.
