The reason was that Ye Jian was Xia Jinyuan’s girlfriend. He thanked himself (Li Jinnian) for training Ye Jian strictly and did not treat her carelessly because she was a female soldier.
The relationship between the two of them had been fully confirmed. That meant that he had to be a little careful about Ye Jian; she was his friend’s future wife, he mustn’t deceive; this was the bottom line of being a proper human being. As a soldier, how could he do otherwise.
What’s more, he didn’t feel sad to discover that the two were lovers but felt that the relationship between the two was quite normal.
He was also very sure that he really only appreciated Ye Jian and not having other thoughts or feelings for her. Even the subtle feeling of he being happy when she was happy was merely a feeling of appreciation, not a romantic feeling.
It’s not that he had never been in love, nor was he not unimpressed. How could he regard the appreciation he had for his comrade as a romantic feeling?
It’s just that he himself couldn’t understand why he liked to see Ye Jian’s smile so much that he even felt happy seeing her smile.
However, this was his own private matter, and he didn’t want to say it, but now the Navy Commander was talking to him about this.
What should he say?
He had to think about it for a while. He had to string up some words and make it clear to the Navy Commander all at once.
Li Jinnian was usually not very talkative, and his temperament was as cold as the expression on his face. In addition, he was usually reluctant to speak and did not like to talk nonsense during training. He was not used to talking a lot.
If he could, he really only wanted to reply to the Commander one sentence: You think too much.
But he couldn’t do that. He was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to dispel the Commander’s thoughts if he didn’t explain himself this time.
He wanted to prevent the Commander from talking about this matter to Xia Jinyuan directly, saying that he wanted to introduce Ye Jian to him as his girlfriend. If that happened, things would go crazy.
Thinking of such a possibility, Li Jinnian believed that the matter must be explained clearly and immediately.
He was still thinking about it at this time, but the Navy Commander was anxious; he quickly asked again, “Li Jinnian, are you even a man? Why do you have to think so much? Is it so difficult to give me a precise answer?”
“Or are you embarrassed to tell me? You want to be alone?”
The cabin was very quiet; the Navy Commander’s voice was a little loud. Several rows of members of the Storm Commando in front could hear him clearly. They were all bluffed by the Commander’s sentence, “Li Jinnian, are you even a man?”
Is the Devil King a man… They know the answer to that question best! He was definitely a man! A very capable and majestic man!
“What is the Commander talking about with the Devil King? Why does it sound so awkward?”
“I don’t know; he even asked if the Devil King is a man… Ahem, I can come forward to prove that he is definitely a man.”
“Shh, listen, let’s listen to what they’re saying; it’s kind of interesting.”
The comrades in the front row kept their bodies still, but there was no obstacle to communication. Both of them speculated with interest. Sitting in a row in front of Li Jinnian were Big Prawn and Big Whale, while those sitting side by side across the aisle were the scouts of the team. They also had good hearing, so they could hear them clearly even if they didn’t want to.
Only the three of them knew what the Commander was talking about.
The Commander wanted the Devil King to chase after Blue Bird, and the three of them totally agreed to this!
The two of them had a tacit understanding in battles. It was really hard to tell that it was the first time they collaborated. They also looked very matching when standing together. Blue Bird was tall, and the Devil King was also tall and straight, plus they were both very good-looking. It would definitely be a happy thing if they were together.
