Chapter 835 A Fondness That Cannot Be Rejected
“That’s truly possible, so, even more reason for me to bring you there.” Ye Jian1 raised the hands that were still tightly clasped together. Standing underneath the gentle light, she smiled with a tenderness between her brows: “Can you let go now? I have to return to the hotel now.”
Xia Jinyuan2 squinted his deep eyes. Not only did he not let go. Instead, he held her hand even tighter, his thin and appealing lips lifted to form a shallow smiling arch.
With low-pitched laughter: “We won’t be able to stay together tonight, but I believe you wouldn’t mind if I personally escort you to the front door of the hotel. That’s the bearing a gentleman should carry, and I cannot allow a girl to walk by herself in the middle of the night.”
Since he had already mentioned that, then there’s no way for her to refuse him.
“If I refused an offer by a gentleman, then that probably would’ve been impolite. In that case, I’ll be in Captain Xia’s care.” Towards him, it was a hard thing for her to reject him, she also didn’t know when he had returned to Yunnan province, and even went looking for her in the middle of the night in her school…, could it be that he had headed towards the school right after getting off the plane?
Though the light coming off the street lights were dim, when Ye Jian looked up, she could still see the weariness between his brows. He went to the school looking for her without a care for his fatigued body, and even a frostier heart would melt away because of that.
Xia Jinyuan was indeed exhausted, the operation this time was a decapitation strike. After the members of the Elite Platoon had accomplished their mission, they didn’t even return to their base, and they split into four groups, the moment they returned into the country, they immediately scattered and erased all traces of them going abroad.
All of it because the target for the decapitation strike had a distinct identity; he has his share of international fame. Still, his criminalistic hands had stretched into China, endangering the stability of China’s borders, an action from China is but an inevitable result.
Xia Jinyuan, who hadn’t slept for multiple days, voluntarily let go Ye Jian’s hand after they had reached the hotel’s front door, “I’ll probably only be able to visit you around eleven in the morning, I need to catch up on some sleep. Otherwise, you can come looking for me, just head to the front desk and pick up my room key.”
Too exhausted, if the brain still doesn’t get its deserved rest, and if the nerves are under a stressed state for an extended period of time, all functions of the body might start to exhibit problems. Even if he really wanted to spend more time with her, he should prioritize maintaining a healthy body for himself.
“You should rest well, if there’s anything we have to talk about, it’s not too late to do so tomorrow.” Ye Jian noticed there was a hint of hoarseness when he spoke, and Her heart subtly throbbed in pain, even the gaze looking at him was filled with heartache, “See you tomorrow, Captain Xia.”
After a brief wave at him, the steps Ye Jian took while returning the hotel were broad and brisk. The sooner she returned to the hotel, the sooner he could leave and get some rest.
She walked really briskly, causing Xia Jinyuan’s pupils to become so gentle it seemed like there was water shimmering in it. The tenderness in it was so warm that it would be a type of blessing to whomever that could be on the receiving end of his gaze.
The hotel lobby was brightly lit. After seeing several people, who looked like students, start walking towards Ye Jian when she appeared in the hotel, only then did Xia Jinyuan stepped away. To play around with a bunch of students, it was true that he had no clue how to get along with them.
He also had no idea how the little fox was able to get along with them and seemed to get along really well. No matter how far apart they were, he hadn’t seen that intangible loneliness she radiated from her body when facing the outside world anymore.
It’s been slightly more than three years now, the little fox is becoming more and more mature each day, and knows how to better get along with others with each passing day. This made him feel assured…, really really promised.
In the past, he had told Uncle Chen that Ye Jian had a deeply rooted repulsion towards the opposite sex. If she had carried that repulsion all the way into the military, though there wouldn’t be any problems when seen from the surface, in actuality, it would affect the overall results of her time in the military.
