Now really wasn’t the time to be reconnecting with old classmates. Ye Jian pretended she didn’t hear it and stopped walking over. Instead, she signaled Li Jinnian with her eyes, and then, with one arm supporting herself over the trench, she easily jumped out of the mountain trench.
Fu Dong wanted to wait for her to get closer and make sure whether or not he was mistaken, but in the end, that female special forces soldier didn’t even give him a chance to get a better look and just left.
Was that Ye Jian?
He really suspected that that was Ye Jian. Starting from when they had entered Grade 8, it was as though Ye Jian had changed entirely and had become the most dazzling pearl of the class. Even Ye Ying was stifled down by her, and she wasn’t the Ye Jian who was timid and frightful of the past.
If that was really her, then did she quit high school and joined the army those years ago? Had she made a good impression and became a special forces soldier?
That’s not right, that’s not right. How can someone be a member of the special forces so easily?
When he joined the army, his performance was very excellent in the new recruit company, and he very naively asked his squad leader in secret if, based on the performance in his new recruit days, would he be able to join the special forces.
The squad leader pointed at an instructor who was currently training the new recruits, saying: “My squad leader when I just enlisted, I assume you don’t need me to tell you about his overall abilities, as you’ve already seen it all. Even the instructor didn’t become a member of the special forces, young lad, do you think you can make it? However, you do have the potential, good luck, you might possibly become a member of the special forces.”
Even the instructor who managed to hit all bullseyes, who managed to win each time a new recruit challenged him, didn’t manage to become a member of the special forces. At that time, Fu Dong felt that he didn’t have any chance anymore.
But he wouldn’t give up, and he had also enlisted as a high school student, so his inner-self was quite prideful. He kept believing that he would make it, enrolling in the second half of his Grade 10 year, and until now, two and a half years have passed. He had indeed put in plenty of effort, and at the same time, he also realized how difficult it was to become a member of the special forces.
For him, he doesn’t have any more hope in this lifetime.
But now, he had actually seen Ye Jian,… a girl had managed to become a member of the special forces, is that possible?
A frosty man’s voice spoke from behind him, like icicles that formed in the winter; it was so cold that it had brought him to his senses.
Fu Hui turned around to look at the special forces soldier that had eliminated him. His gaze subconsciously landed on his shoulder emblem; sadly, there was nothing there.
What he had just said must be ‘good work’? With his brain still acting up, Fu Hui straightened his expression and extended his hand to grip the hand stretched towards him; he smiled: “You’re too kind, we’re all brothers, it’s a given.”
After training for nearly two and a half years in the army, Fu Dong had already learned to keep his peace, even though his heart was filled with questions and surprise, but he didn’t think to pursue and make sure whether or not that female soldier just now was ‘Ye Jian.’
When the platoon leader brought them into the mountains, he already advised them: “Don’t look where you’re not supposed to look and don’t ask things you’re not supposed to ask, keep your eyes wide open, and keep your lips sealed. Do your best at what you do, and try to stay honest.”
If it were in the past, he would definitely ask the question, but he would never open his mouth right now.
Ye Jian, if that female soldier really was Ye Jian, Fu Dong couldn’t help but laugh, then that means the rumors circulating in class about Ye Ying’s family were trying to hurt Ye Jian in private, those were true.
After getting out of the trench, Fu Dong then noticed several special forces soldiers carrying heavy combat equipment walking out of the forest. Their walking speed was very quick as if they didn’t carry any weight on their backs, as they seemed so relaxed.
His gaze was searching from the darkness, although he didn’t walk up to make sure, but he still wanted to know whether or not that female soldier was Ye Jian. If it was really her…, Fu Dong sighed gently, so what if it was really her?
