The two of them walked and talked as if they didn’t seem to notice a big living person following behind them. They didn’t look back at all; they just kept walking from the front beach to the back beach of the island.
When they arrived at their destination, Lieutenant Big Shark pointed to the black reef island that was deep into the sea, smiled, and said to Ye Jian: “We have to go there. We will need to wade in the water, be careful not to slip.”
“Okay.” Ye Jian knew that she was being tested, so she didn’t talk too much nonsense. She just followed the lieutenant.
Naturally, she would listen to what he said, and then she would do what he told her to.
Big Shark was a little surprised. This wasn’t the kind of surprise that any female soldier could give. Just like now, if the male soldiers who were selected by the navy were here, they would ask all sorts of questions out of curiosity like, “how do we go down to the water?”.
And yet, she seemed to have no curiosity at all. She ultimately complied with the phrase “It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders” and did not reject any arrangements from the top positions at all.
Truthfully, he, too, had read her profile, just like Devil King, he was also skeptical of her. Even before this morning, he secretly wondered if it was necessary to arrange for a ship in advance so that they could send her back to the army.
Who would have known that reality gave him a valuable lesson that he would remember deeply, and made him realize that he had a narrow mind?
He shouldn’t easily draw conclusions about anything without seeing the person with his own eyes.
Big Whale looked at the two people in front of him that seemed to have really forgotten about him. He felt so embarrassed that he wanted to just carry the oxygen cylinder and dive into the waters and swim as far as he could.
However, he also understood why Lieutenant Big Shark did this. He only did so that he would lower his head first and let Ye Jian feel more comfortable.
Actually, Ye Jian really didn’t take Big Whale’s previous inquiry to heart. She only warned him, so that the other party would stop inquiring about her immediately. To her, the matter was resolved at that time. She was not that close-minded to make her comrades bow their heads to apologize to her.
Seeing the lieutenant wade into the waters directly in his shoes, Ye Jian, who wanted to take off her shoes, smiled and followed him.
Seeing this, Big Whale, who hadn’t been told to leave, secretly smiled bitterly, and then went into the water. It seemed that if the female soldier did not take the initiative to speak to him today, then Big Shark would not let him leave either.
The comrades naturally knew what their other comrades were thinking. In fact, Big Shark was also anxious. He did not expect that Ye Jian still wouldn’t want to speak a single word to Big Whale after the three of them had walked for more than 10 minutes. It seemed that she was really angry.
Seeing this, Big Shark sighed softly. He stood in the cool seawater and said to Ye Jian: “Little Ye, this morning Big Whale inquired about you, truthfully, he didn’t mean anything, he was just obeying my orders. I know that you are angry, I…”
“Lieutenant, I think you may have misunderstood?” Ye Jian didn’t let him finish his sentence. After listening to what he said, she already knew what he was going to say, so she interrupted helplessly: “I didn’t put this morning’s matter to heart. Besides, if you didn’t mention it, I have already put it aside.”
“Also, I need to make it clear to you that I am not angry about the matter.”
……
Her eyes were honest. There was nothing strange on her face. Her eyes were so clear like the seawater surrounding them, one could even see their reflection in her eyes. That kind of magnanimity instantly made Big Shark realize that… he had once again made a mistake.
Big Shark had been in the army for so many years, he had never made such a colossal mistake. He felt deeply embarrassed.
