Regimental Commander Liu and Political Commissar Yan walked over. Seeing that Ye Jian was still sitting inside the car and not getting out after a while, not only was she not getting out, she was still touching here and there inside the car,… she’s really unwilling to get out of the car.
Regimental Commander Liu erupted into laughter after seeing her act like this. Opening the car door, he spoke with a cheery voice: “You lassie, why don’t you come down? It’s mealtime, come down and go have lunch, you can continue your training after the break.”
Wasn’t rusty, wasn’t rusty at all, she’s still very familiar with it.
“Come come come, follow the two of us and have some potato salad. You ah, don’t feel reluctant to come out, whenever you come, you give our soldiers here a good kicking, at the very least give our men a little room to breathe, huh?”
The moment she arrived, she drove a jeep at top speed, going on the S-shaped curve, twisting the steering wheel with one hand while firing at the live targets with the other. The series of blanks she fired away had made even the spectators’ hearts boil in enthusiasm.
Ye Jian jumped out of the car and said in a slightly embarrassed tone: “I suddenly trained too much and I’m not in a hurry to get lunch yet, I’ll go check the results first.”
“Your results aren’t bad, when you fired, all of them hit the forehead, throat and heart. The three most important places.” Political Commissar Yan looked at Ye Jian with a smile. He asked after reading her carefully: “You little lass, why are you working so hard, what spurred you on like this?”
The Political Commissar truly had an eye for detail; he had found out Ye Jian was slightly unusual with just a careful look.
Even Ye Jian herself didn’t know where she acted unusually for Political Commissar Yan to figure it out; she smiled: “Since when did Political Commissar gain all-knowing eyes?”
“Normally you would head for lunch the moment it was breaktime, you would never be there later than the rest of the men, but today was different from before. Why would I need to use my all-knowing eyes? Just by slightly observing you, anyone would be able to figure it out.” Political Commissar Yan focused his eyes. After taking a closer look at Ye Jian’s expression, his brows gently furrowed together, “Seems like there’s some anger hanging around, there’s also something weighing on your heart, what happened? Young lass.”
Hearing his words, Regimental Commander Liu also focused his gaze and looked carefully. Truthfully, there was an angry look between her brows, “Did you see people that needed a good beating? Speak everything that comes to mind, don’t just keep it inside your heart.”
“I didn’t face any difficulties, just that there’s a bad taste stuck in my mouth. I’ll be fine after taking care of it.” Tossing aside matters regarding Xia Jinyuan and the others, Ye Jian held a grudge because the mercenary believes that Chinese soldiers aren’t impressive.
On what grounds do they look down upon our country’s soldiers?!
She didn’t have any intention of continuing that conversation right now. Political Commissar Yan and Regimental Commander Liu glanced at each other, there’s no rush, asking her about it later is also fine.
“As long as you’re fine, as long as you’re fine.” Political Commissar Yan lightly patted Ye Jian’s shoulders. Then straightening her collar, he exclaimed with laughter: “Little lass Ye, both of us want to see you put on the army uniform as soon as possible, why don’t you just skip one more grade and attend Grade 12?”
In the unit, he had always told the soldiers to read more books if they had the time, to gain more knowledge, but in Ye Jian’s case, he had reversed everything. Instead, he thought that her still studying in school was a waste of time, and it’s way better for her to toss herself wholeheartedly into the military.
“Look at you, look at you, you’re the one who criticized me for being too hasty and have to take things slowly and when it’s your turn, good riddance, you’re straight up asking Ye Jian to skip school and join the army.” Regimental Commander Liu swept his gaze at the Political Commissar, who was acting true to the saying ‘only the tyrants can set flames, while the citizens can’t even light lights,’ and spoke sternly to Ye Jian: “Don’t listen to him speaking nonsense. Studies, we will have to continue, not only do you have to study, you also need to study hard!”
“Political Commissar Yan must be too busy nowadays, his brain has probably rusted, speaking nonsense with wide open eyes, don’t listen to him.”
Usually, he was the one being lectured by the Political Commissar. Still, this time around, he finally found an opportunity to lecture the Political Commissar, how would Regimental Commander Liu give up on this perfect opportunity? He grabbed the chance to speak out about the things he could never have said usually and said everything he wanted. “People like this who does administrative work have several strategies before and behind people and they don’t even allow you to read their minds, leading young fellows astray!”
