He needed to win this competition, at the same time, he also wanted to be closer to her, they could meet from time to time and chat, it could be said that he placed a lot of thought into it.
”I do not believe in fate; I only believe in capabilities. Captain Xia, this is the final sprint, I will not give in at all just because you are Captain Xia,” Ye Jian who was covered in sweat but was still feeling happy could hear him crawling in front with rustling sounds, her bright eyes flashed brighter than the starlight, she was also towards the final sprint.
The two of them did not wish to admit defeat; they were covered in sweat as they crawled, they were not even bothered about the dried leaves on their head and bodies, they had been in the forest for at least two hours and were heading towards the exit two hundred meters ahead.
A hundred meters, fifty meters, thirty meters…Ye Jian avoided two two-way probes and saw a foot within the darkness, but there was also a mountain-like figure, standing under the pale moonlight.
Ye Jian’s pupils constricted, she was just less than five minutes behind earlier, in a blink of an eye, there was already a ten-minute gap.
At that moment, Ye Jian understood that he had been intentionally making concessions during the competition.
She was not angry; Ye Jian had smiled instead. It was because she knew…why did he make concessions? Ye Jian also knew why he suddenly rushed to such a distance at the final moment. It was because she understood, she was not angry with him intentionally making concessions.
”You lost, little fox,” After she walked out, Xia Jinyuan, who had been waiting for ten minutes, revealed a faint smile. His figure under the moonlight was imposing and upright, even when she could not see his face, she felt he was a very remarkable man.
He smiled as he stood there, his low-pitched voice was so gentle that it blended with the moonlight, the gentle breeze deepened the smile on Ye Jian’s face.
”I’m not sure. Captain Xia, you won in speed right now, but how many probes are there in the forest? What we are competing with is the total number of probes,” Ye Jian said neither fast or slow, there was no worry on her face, she did not have any thoughts of going back on her words.
Since she made a bet, even if she lost, she would lose in an upright and poised manner.
Such a Ye Jian was the most beautiful in Xia Jinyuan’s eyes. He admired her temperament; he loved the way she handled things.
”Let’s report the number together, let’s see who’s right and who’s wrong,” He said with a smile, he had a confident expression, it could be seen that he had confidence in winning an opportunity.
The two numbers were reported at the same time; Ye Jian had reported three probes less than Xia Jinyuan.
The difference of three had determined victory and defeat; it was also because of these three that caused the soldiers of the anti-chemical unit to notice Ye Jian’s figure. It was Xia Jinyuan’s hand gesture and reporting to Regiment Commander Guo, which allowed the bet to be carried on.
Ye Jian furrowed her brows, “Was I wrong?”
”Of course, we can walk as we talk about it,” Xia Jinyuan laughed, “I’ve worked hard to exchange for a bet. If I lost, I would be looked down by my comrades when I return to the unit.”
A special forces soldier from the Elite Platoon losing to a high school student…It was not something to be proud of.
Ye Jian finally understood after Xia Jinyuan pointed out the problem. Before she could ask him how he found out, she then heard his voice, which was not holding anything back, there was solemness like none other before, “What I want to say right now is that I, Xia Jinyuan, like a high school student called Ye Jian. I originally wanted to wait for her to enter university before declaring my love, but I realized that little boys are doing what I want to do the most!”
”I’m feeling slightly anxious and do not wish to continue hiding it. Even if Ye Jian is still a high school student, I hope that she knows that someone likes her. I also want to tell her, if she really wants to find a boyfriend, she might as well consider a soldier called Xia Jinyuan.”
