Xia Jinyuan and Xu Yu did not serve in the same military unit. Xu Yu was a border defense armed police officer in Yunnan Province and had cooperated with Xia Jinyuan twice in border patrol. It was not until they met each other that they realized they were both in this operation.
Raising his eyebrows and leaning against a soft pillow on the bed, Xia Jinyuan said, "She's a very interesting girl. I would consider seeking her to be my girlfriend if she were a bit older."
Jaw-dropping, Xu Yu said, "Hold on. The military law forbids you to do so. Fourteen years old. You… you are a monster."
During private times, they could talk about some topics freely.
"Xu Yu, I mean I would consider it when she grows older," said Xia Jinyuan, bursting into laughter.
She was too young right now. Xia Jinyuan would not take any action until she turned 18 at least.
Another thing was the girl had no idea of romance at this age, which was good for her. She needed to spend her time studying rather than flirting.
"You scared the hell out of me! You must be aware that you are a monk and you should act like one!" said Xu Yu, relieved. These soldiers, who executed deadly missions on a daily basis, liked calling themselves monks. And as monks, they should abide by the rules and regulations and discipline themselves!
A soldier serving in such a dangerous military unit might not be able to see the sunrise of tomorrow. Hence, there's no need to waste the time of the girl.
Xia Jinyuan gave a wry smile. "It's not that I dare not date her, I am just waiting for the right timing." When that moment arrived, and she thought he was a not bad person, he would give it a try.
"Glad that you have understood. Don't have any desire until you turn 35." Xu Yu was seven years older than him. Basically, the soldiers fighting at the frontier, such as themselves, would transfer to other positions or retire from the army before 35. Therefore, they dared not waste time on the girls before they settled down.
It was not an easy topic. Since Xia Jinyuan had organized some clues, the two of them started to discuss the operation very soon.
After dinner, Director Li, frowning and seemingly concerned, went outside and back to the hotel several times.
Gao Yiyang, who agreed to be back at the hotel by six, did not come back on time, making Director Li a bit worried. Trying to contact Gao Yiyang's father, Director Li realized that he did not leave his contact methods.
Ye Jian and Yang Ye were on their way back to their room when Director Li waved at them. "Ye Jian, come over here. Yang Ye, go upstairs." The rest of the Chinese students were behind them. Feeling concerned, Director Li added, "Stay in your rooms and do anything you like. If you need help, call Mrs. Yu."
At a moment , she must make sure that every student's whereabouts were under control.
When the rest of the students had gone upstairs, Director Li looked at Ye Jian and sighed. "Do you have the contact methods of Gao Yiyang's family in China? He gave me two phone numbers, but no one has answered the phone. It's almost seven o'clock and he has not returned. What if he has had an accident…"
What a teacher feared the most was that an accident occurred to any student when they were taking examinations abroad. The consequences would be unimaginable.
Unfortunately, Ye Jian didn't know his family phone number in China. But she did know a phone number in Australia.
"Try this number. It's the cell phone number of his father's assistant," said Ye Jian. She recollected the numbers which Gao's father had dialed to cancel dinner reservation. "Try it. It should be correct."
