Ye Jian couldn't help but smile when she heard his compliments. "No wonder you two are childhood friends. The things you two say are the same. Don't compliment me. I can't stand compliments. What if I fall in love with you?"
"Don't! Even if I said things that are not pleasant to your ear, that is because you didn't listen to my full sentence. My legs feel weak after hearing what you said." Han Zheng raised his eyebrows. His face remained stern as he said calmly, "I'm Major Xia's childhood friend. I know what kind of person he is. He is witty and humorous.
Ladies like him. However, he has good character. He won't play with women."
"I have not seen him bringing any ladies back to show us. You are the first one. That is why I said such things to you even though I know that they are not nice."
His expression turned more serious. His frowned. "He admires you. If you are not interested in him, don't reject him too quickly. From a man's point of view, the faster the girl I like rejects me, the stronger the desire to subdue her."
"Men are natural hunters. They like to conquer. Young lady, if you don't want to have any relationship with Major Xia, I suggest that you do things slowly."
"If not, Major Xia would become more and more interested in you. It would be harder for you to get away next time."
From a man's point of view, this was the truth. Ye Jian made a huge mistake.
Ye Jian pondered for a while. After the first dish was served, she nodded. "What you said makes sense. However…" She smiled. "My way of interaction with Major Xia is different."
"You won't understand even if I tell you. I'm not close to you too. If you have anything you don't understand, I suggest that you ask Major Xia yourself. Other than that, I have to write a letter of apology to him. I left him in the lurch. It is my fault."
Ye Jian asked the attendant for a pen and paper.
Han Zheng looked at her as she took some papers and a pen over. He was astounded.
She was too… casual. Was it fine to use the menu paper to write a letter?
Why not? Ye Jian wrote seriously.
Hence, two months later, when Xia Jinyuan took the letter over from Han Zheng and noticed that it was not written on a cute paper but on some menu from a certain restaurant, he gazed at Han Zheng and gave him a 'are you trying to play with me' look.
"I'm not playing tricks on you. I won't dare to fool you. Look at the back, look at the back." Han Zheng couldn't open his eyes properly because of the cold wind. He wanted to laugh but he controlled his emotions and said, "The lady you admired used the materials on the spot."
Also, he wanted to know how different their way of interaction was. What kind of difference was it?
The snow and wind got bigger. It was hard to read a letter.
The quality of the paper was not good too. It was very thin. Xia Jinyuan was afraid that the wind will blow the letter away.
He carefully kept the letter in his pocket. Han Zheng rested at the military depot below the mountain for two months and only managed to come to the training camp today. "Let's go back first. The snow leopards are going to come out soon."
This place was the heaven of snow leopards. They were rarely seen but no one wanted to see them.
Han Zheng's expression turned serious. He quickly followed behind Xia Jinyuan.
