Before reaching the school gates, she had already seen that the figure she wanted to see the least was sitting on the stone seats in front of the school gates’ road. She looked around here and there every so often as if she was looking for someone.
Ye Jian’s indifferent gaze grew colder; Sun Dongqing… she was actually sitting in front of her school gates!
Without paying attention to her, Ye Jian, who had gotten off from the other side of the road, walked across the sidewalk. She didn’t intentionally try to dodge Sun Dongqing and followed the sidewalk towards her school’s gates.
She had went to the neighboring country on Sunday; by the time she had returned today, it was already Wednesday because she went on leave-on last notice, she didn’t have a paper slip for her leave, so the staff on guard duty was required to call into the Academy, only then could they let her in.
Sun Dongqing had already been standing watch outside the school gates for three days, from Monday morning till Wednesday today, even if the early Spring wings were chilling her to the bone, but for Sun Ying’s sake, she could only endure it.
Ye Jian, she must wait for Ye Jian; she must see her. Her daughter Sun Ying still needed her to come to the rescue, so she needed to see Ye Jian.
She waited from sunrise till sundown, again from sunrise till sundown again, three whole days, Ye Jian, who was supposed to be in school, hadn’t returned.
The sentries didn’t allow her entry; even the people in charge did not allow her in; the only thing they told her was that Ye Jian was not in the school, she was on a business trip, and her return date was undetermined.
Business trip?
She was still in school; what kind of business trip could she have? She just didn’t want to see her, that’s all!
Damned lass, now that your wings are hard, you know how to embarrass me time and again, but what else could I do besides hate? No matter how much she hated it, she’d have to endure it. Even if she hated it, she’d have to wait till her daughter was out before thinking up another plan.
She tightened her grip on the black handbag in her hand; a flicker of cruelty flashed under her anxious eyes.
As long as she sees Ye Jian, then she’ll have a way to force her hand; right now, all she needs to do is wait for Ye Jian to appear!
NUDT’s front gates faced the highway connecting the city with Dajiang, the roads were wide, and cars were few; Sun Dongqing would pay attention to each public transport bus stopping; she believed by doing so, she might be able to catch Ye Jian returning from her business trip.
After taking a look, she would then look towards the school gates as if she was afraid of missing something.
Sun Dongqing was a smart middle-aged woman; without any other ideas, she could only rely on standing watch and see if she could manage to await Ye Jian’s appearance.
Before she even dared to block any cars that were trying to drive into NUDT, after her soul almost left her body from being pointed at by a gun, she didn’t dare stop any vehicles and could only stand watch here.
The day was almost over from the looks of it; without managing to see the person she wanted to, Sun Dongqing stood up and was about to go and ask the sentry.
Coincidentally when she turned around, she spotted Ye Jian.
Her classmate, Xu Wen, came to welcome Ye Jian into the school and passed the paper slip to the sentry, “You’re finally back, the Class Representatives from the other classes are almost graying from panic. Didn’t they say that our First Years will be divided into Red and Blue, two teams? Now they changed it! The ones in the Drill weren’t anybody else; they’re our Third Year seniors!”
“My goodness, us First Years going against Third Years, that… aren’t we just waiting to be pummeled on? The First Years must be raging, and none of us want to lose by too much.”
It had just been a few days, but it was like Xu Wen hadn’t seen Ye Jian for a few months, telling Ye Jian about everything major that had happened in the school for the past few days, “Now when I look at our Third Year seniors, my scalp even starts to feel numb, say, if we go and butter up to them now, would they show mercy during the Drill?”
Show mercy?
Ye Jian raised her hand, and gently knocked at her forehead, and poured a large basin of icy cold water over her, “Comrade, the Drill is the battlefield. Have you ever seen a battlefield that shows mercy? For goodness sake, you’ve already been in the Military Academy for half a year. Resolve, my comrade; where did your resolve go?”
