Some of their comrades were already waking up. Hearing the rustles around her made Ye Jian’s heartstrings tense up, and her gaze quickly surveyed around the area. She was just worried… that someone had already heard everything of their conversation.
The sunlight was very dim at five in the morning. Within the faint mist, Ye Jian realized Devil King Li, who should’ve been closest to them, had already pulled at least two meters away from them, which also means only her and Xia Jinyuan were occupying this spot.
Xia Jinyuan’s gaze followed after hers and indifferently studied Li Jinnian for a moment before pulling back his gaze.
It sure is easy to communicate with smart people. Even though he didn’t announce Ye Jian’s relationship with him openly, the Devil King had already figured it out. He purposely pulled away, leaving enough space for him and Ye Jian.
Devil King, you’re terrific!
At the same time, he believed that this man wouldn’t spread what was going on between Ye Jian and him.
As to why he revealed some information for Devil King Li, the reason was simple, he noticed his counterpart’s gaze was lingering on his girlfriend’s body for a little bit too long as of late.
That wasn’t a good sign, and he must stop that.
Someone as excellent as the little fox wouldn’t lack suitors, and he also had no way of driving off every single man that had their eyes on her, but that doesn’t stop him from asserting his dominance as her boyfriend since he already knew about it, then he must strike, and mustn’t let his rivals have a chance.
The matter about the love letter, heh, he was keeping that in mind!
How would Ye Jian know that this man beside her had already asserted his dominance without her knowing? Realizing that Devil King Li was a ways away from them, only then did she let out a sigh of relief.
Noticing several comrades were getting up one after the other, she immediately said: “Words are not enough for your great kindness; if you really want my thanks, we’ll talk about it when the time comes. Put it on my tab! Also, don’t you dare collect interest!”
With collecting interest in the form of a kiss for a kiss’ and similar things in mind, Major Xia immediately halted that thought; he was afraid he wouldn’t even be able to collect his ‘capital’ back.
He also heard the signs of his comrades waking up and knew the short time that belonged to the two of them must end now.
Furthermore, he too didn’t want to let everyone know his relationship with Ye Jian right now, even if he wanted to announce it, at the very least, he’d need to wait until Ye Jian joins the Elite Platoon and achieves certain results.
Only by doing so could it shut everyone’s mouth up.
The members of both teams do not have the habit of sleeping in, plus knowing this competition would also be a tryout, everyone was amped up and wanted to secure a spot for themselves, the competition had already started, if they didn’t want to be disqualified, then they needed to give this their all.
Although they were already giving their all before, now they’ll strive for it even more; that’s why she’ll also have to give it her all.
Ye Jian had already packed up her sleeping bag into a roll; she turned around and noticed Xia Jinyuan had already finished packing all of his equipment and said to her: “Go take a walk ahead, come back and assemble at 5:30.”
There’s a small stream ahead, which allows for simple washing up.
They still had 23 minutes. Ye Jian realized that the Devil King Li was also packing and wasn’t calling for their team to assemble, then turned around and followed him into the forest. Before leaving, she quickly felt the insides of her dignitary kit, then calmly slid one hand into her combat uniform’s pockets; only then did she follow after Xia Jinyuan.
The girlfriend’s actions were noted down by the boyfriend; he didn’t point her out, only making his lips curve into a charming arch.
She’s really so… adorable; the shy cuteness was making it hard for him to endure not teasing her.
No can do, if he teased even more, then the little fox will bare her hidden ‘claws,’ and would get angry and claw at his face till she draws blood, then that wouldn’t be worth the loss.
