Why did she choose to return to participate in military training? It’s because she did not wish to miss the wonderful time of being a student and the beautiful memories with her classmates.
”Eh? Ye Jian? Why… Why are you back?” The class monitor, Lu Xin, saw Ye Jian, who had applied for a holiday when he walked out of the infirmary. Holding a bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi Shui[1] in his hand, he smiled and said in surprise: “Teacher Tong said you went to the hospital to take care of your relative and will not join the seven-day military training, why are you here?”
Ye Jian had applied for a holiday and did not join the military training. Teacher Tong had mentioned it to the class. Because Ye Jian had left and never attended night self-revision classes, the students were able to accept her absence.
”He’s discharged, Ye Jian would naturally be here, with assistant monitor, you won’t be so troubled,” An Jiaxin’s straightforward and magnanimous temperament was visible to all her classmates during the military training, she was forthright and dared to accept the consequences for her actions, even the trainer had said to join his army if she could not enter university.
Because of those words, An Jiaxin had held on for the sake of saving face.
Lu Xin laughed, “It’s good news. Ye Jian, have you eaten lunch? Go report to Teacher Tong afterward, she needs to arrange a bed for you, or else you will have nowhere to sleep tonight. As for the military uniform, you……”
Lu Xin’s results were not the best, but he was willing to serve the class. Therefore, nobody had any opinion when he became the monitor, he might be naggy, but he was even more meticulous than the girls.
He began reminding Ye Jian what she needed to do later.
He pointed at Ye Jian and saw her in her camouflage suit. He scratched his head in embarrassment, “I must be tired from being under the sun; I did not notice that you had worn your camouflage suit. Oh, the camouflage looks much better on you than on us. The color does not seem right; ours are lighter, yours has a darker shade of green….. why does it look so good?”
Ye Jian had always had the habit of allowing others to finish talking before talking when they looked at her, she smiled and said: “I did not take it before this, this set is directly taken from the army, it should be soldier’s usual training uniform, that’s why the color is darker than yours.”
”That is also not right, why does it look so fitting on you? That’s not right, that’s not right, it’s not the sense of fitting, it’s… it’s…” Lu Xin measured up Ye Jian in her camouflage suit, he kept feeling something wasn’t right, for example, when she spoke, her chin was slightly tight, but he back was very straight. However, she was holding Li Qian, but there seemed to be an unspeakable style, it looked intentional and also vigorous.
After Lu Xin said so, An Jiaxin and the others finally realized it.
Ye Jian chuckled, “There’s nothing different, just the camouflage suit is different.
Listening to her calm voice and then looking at her beautiful face, they looked at the familiar face, which seemed slightly different. An Jiaxin, who was most familiar with Ye Jian, felt her heartbeat was beating so fast as she panicked.
She realized…she did not dare to look at Ye Jian in the eye, that pair of eyes that were filled with smiles seemed to be filled with darkness which caused her to be unable to look at it directly, it was as if…it was as if… An Jiaxin had to see Ye Jian’s reaction before she spoke up.
It wasn’t only An Jiaxin feeling that way, even Yan Yi, Liu Lizhen, and Zhang Yueyan from Ye Jian’s upper bunk felt the same way. No, they panicked even more than An Jiaxin.
