The conversation between the two elders revolved mostly around Ye Jian and the soldiers' training which gave them hope and spiritual support.
In the hotel, Ye Jian sat on the bed after packing and focused on a letter she received from the front desk. Soon after, she flushed it away in shredded pieces.
It wasn't really a letter, it was just a few words from Xia Jinyuan.
He told her to rest in Capital City until his return two days later.
So what after he returns? A dangerous man is a venom which can't be touched… This dangerous and venomous man especially liked to send off 'ambiguous' signals from time to time that she just didn't want to have too much contact with him.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Jian decided to stick to her original attitude and stay away from Xia Jinyuan.
After shaking hands with the Australian students, the Chinese students marched on their way home with Director Li and three other teachers. They arrived back in the Capital City a little after 11 am.
Instead of staying in Capital City, Ye Jian planned to take the flight at 2:00 pm to get back to the province. If there was not enough time, she would stay overnight in the province and take the earliest train back to the city the next morning.
It truly was a hassle since she needed to take a ride to get back in town.
Additionally, she needed to catch another ride to get back to the village from town.
For an old person, just the thought of this complicated transportation would have caused a headache; however, not for Ye Jian. She couldn't wait to be back in town by tonight.
Despite her anxiety to return, Director Li tried his best to persuade her to stay in the Capital City and visit the schools… It troubled him when Ye Jian rejected all his suggestions.
"Little girl, why can't you understand." As Director Li gulped down some water before attempting to convince her further, he noticed a sly smile under her composure. "Oh you little girl, are you just pretending with me?"
She was smart, well-mannered, humble, and established a good relationship with others; he just didn't want to give up on such a good candidate.
Ye Jian finally stopped pretending as she saw he was going to continue, she smiled and said, "Director Li, to be honest, if there is a high school in our town, I would have attended it."
"Why is that? Everyone is striving to attend a more prestigious school out of town, why aren't you? Listen to me, our school is the most abundant in resources and faculties. Not to mention the number of students who were admitted to Central China Normal University, Guangxi University, and even Universities abroad, most of them received scholarships."
Against Director Li's earnest persuasion, Ye Jian gently smiled and replied. "What is honey to you, is arsenic to me."
Studying in Capital City was definitely out of the question, she could only appreciate Director Li's love and supports.
"You sure have your own ideas, little girl." Director Li stopped his persuasion and let out a deep sigh. He said to Gao Yiyang and Wang Mo, "Take care of the girl on your way home. Remember to call me once you guys get back to the province."
