Xia Jinyuan forced himself to look away from the back of her neck, keeping the corners of his mouth raised; he continued to smile and said, “If the school disagrees, then we shall wait until the winter vacation.”
His palm had become much rougher now; there was even a thin cocoon on his palm. Xia Jinyuan gently rubbed the thin cocoon that represented his hard work with his fingers; his eyes were gentle as he gazed at the face that had gone through hardships and became more tenacious. His coquettish, low-pitched voice sounded slowly, “There will always be a day when we can meet, it’s just a matter of time.”
The comforting sentences made Ye Jian feel sweeter than drinking honey. Tears flowed from her eyes; she pursed her lips and smiled: “Why do you always treat me like a child? Getting together and separation are very common things, I’m not that vulnerable to the separation that it will affect my mood yet.”
“Besides, seeing the interaction between the army and the navy, I think we will definitely be working together and training together in the future. Therefore, there will always be a chance for us to meet; we’ll just have to wait for that day.”
In her previous life, she only stayed in a place for a few months, so she was used to gathering and separation, so she could already face separation calmly.
One thing different was that in this life, she had met a comrade that had helped her selflessly, so every separation with him had a hint of reluctance that she had not felt before in her previous life, so her mood was more or less down.
Xia Jinyuan squeezed her hands. Sitting in the back seat, he glanced at the navy soldier who was focused on driving, then turned the subject away with a faint smile, “There will be a chance to meet again. We will arrive at 6 p.m. at Hongkou Airport. Do you plan to go home overnight? Or rest the night and go home early tomorrow?”
It takes nearly several hours to drive from Hongkou City to Shui Kou Village, mainly because it takes six hours to travel from Shui Kou Village to the city, and two hours from Hongkou City to their current city, so in total it will be around eight hours.
Ye Jian answered without hesitation, “We can go back to the city from Hongkou City, take a rest there, and get up at about 4 a.m. tomorrow to go home.” The day became bright early during the summer, so there would be a slight morning light at around four a.m.
“Sure, I will follow you.” Xia Jinyuan completely agreed, seeing that there was more than an hour before they would arrive at the heliport, his soft eyes glanced across the dark circles under her eyes, he whispered softly: “Have some rest; I will call you when we get there.”
Although the road to the highest heliport of the military port was curved along the mountain, it was all asphalt roads, so it was easy to fall asleep with the little swaying along the road.
Ye Jian, who got up at four a.m. and finished her last morning training, rested on her headrest in the back seat. Within five minutes, she was deeply asleep with a smile on her face.
She fell asleep in four minutes and eight seconds. Xia Jinyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, pitying her. He looked under the root of her ears again. If it weren’t for her severe sunburn on the back of her neck, it wouldn’t be a problem for them to go directly to Shui Kou Village tonight.
Also, why was this Little Fox sleeping position so straight? She was basically motionless,…Why didn’t her body sway inadvertently next to him so that her head would rest on his shoulder?
There were Navy soldiers in the car with them, so Major Xia would not blatantly take advantage of the female soldier. He had to wait for Ye Jian to sway and fall onto his shoulders.
However, Ye Jian’s sleeping posture was too straight, and the navy soldier also drove quite smoothly. Therefore, after waiting for more than ten minutes, Xia Jinyuan, who still hadn’t got what he wanted, decided that since she wouldn’t come over… he would go over to her.
