Ye Jian had passed the nervous stage of interacting with Xia Jinyuan. She wouldn’t feel anxious anymore when he got close to her and wouldn’t reject him when he wanted to get more intimate. She just felt a little awkward. The years of interaction and rounds of working together finally allowed Ye Jian to take a huge step towards him. She didn’t just try to accept Xia Jinyuan’s love. She tried to like him too.
When his kiss came over, Ye Jian closed her eyes lightly. She was too embarrassed to look at him straight in the eye. After he finished speaking, Ye Jian said in a tense voice, “I can wear my own clothes. I won’t need your help, Captain Xia.”
Allow him to help her wear clothes? … You need to take off your clothes before you could wear them. Don’t think that she didn’t know what he was thinking!
Major Xia always teased Ye Jian so when she heard what he said, she naturally went the wrong direction.
Normally, Xia Jinyuan had this intention. But, this time… he didn’t mean any of that at all. He just purely wanted to help his girlfriend wear her military uniform and wanted to watch the sunset with her as they held hands and stood on the high mountains.
Yet, when he didn’t have the intention, Ye Jian started thinking too much on reflex. This caused him to laugh. He pinched her nose intimately and said, “You’re thinking too much again. However, I don’t mind it.”
This time, he was really teasing her.
Ye Jian realized that she was thinking too much so she broke free from his hug and changed the topic calmly, “I didn’t expect the view on the 23rd floor of Hotel Caesar to be so good. You can watch the sunrise in the morning and the sunset at night. It looks like Brother Zi put in much thought when choosing the location of the hotel.”
“Do you like it? If you like it, you can come over anytime. The scenery on the 23rd floor is beautiful. Besides the people Brother Zi trust, other people can’t come up.” Xia Jinyuan knew that she was feeling awkward again and wanted to continue teasing her. However, when he saw her admiring the scenery seriously while trying to resolve her awkwardness, his heart melted.
Ye Jian smiled. “I don’t have so much time. I want to use my time wisely so that I can live a fulfilling life. I don’t want to waste any second of it.” After a short pause, a stern look appeared on her face. “From this mission, I can see that there’s still a wide difference between me and the Special Forces. Since my goal is you, Captain Xia, I’m not afraid to tell you that you’re my goal. At the same time, you’re someone I want to surpass.”
One sentence was enough to show Ye Jian’s ambition. Xia Jinyuan didn’t laugh at her. Instead, he supported her goal of surpassing him. “Not bad. This is how you should think in the military. You must continue surpassing them if you want to walk further and stand at a higher position.”
“Little Fox, I will wait for you to surpass me. However, please remember that while you’re working hard, I’m working hard too.”
That’s right, Xia Jinyuan wouldn’t wait at the same spot for Ye Jian to catch up. While he held her hand and helped her to grow, he would continue moving forward.
If Ye Jian wanted to surpass an ace soldier, an ace Special Forces soldier, she couldn’t do it within a day. She needed to work hard continuously and use her strongest foundation to welcome her military uniform and reach her own peak!
“That’s right. While I’m improving, you’re improving too. Since I want to surpass you, I need to put in more effort.” Ye Jian was grateful for Xia Jinyuan’s reminder. Some things could only be understood after many setbacks but he taught her everything. One sentence from him could prevent her from taking many wrong paths.
