But, the young lady was really very reserved. Half an hour had passed and she was still maintaining the standard sitting posture of a soldier. No matter how bumpy the car was, her spine never relaxed.
She had indeed undergone strict training before. All her actions exuded the towering aura and sharpness of a soldier.
Ye Jian pursed her lips and gave a small smile. Commander Xia smiled and said, "He caused many troubles when he was young. For a period of time, I didn't even dare to go back to the courtyard. I'm afraid that when I go back, I'll get blocked by all my colleagues who will complain to me about what my son did again."
"If I need to describe that period with a phrase, I will say that it's as dark as hell. Thinking back, I feel that my temper must be good because I didn't strangle him to death."
Ye Jian felt cold sweat on her forehead as she listened to Commander Xia. How naughty was Captain Xia when he was young? He even managed to make Commander Xia afraid to go home!
Then, she smiled again. No wonder he was so irritating now. No wonder she always had a headache when she saw him. He was already playful when he was young. How could she be his match?
The chemical defense regiment was a two and a half hours drive from the provincial city. Only half an hour had passed so far. After passing Commander Xia's test, Xia Jinyuan started talking about his childhood when he noticed that Ye Jian was still uncomfortable.
He didn't feel embarrassed when his past was revealed. Instead, he felt quite proud. "The children in the courtyard were at two extremes. One group of them had outstanding results while the other group had lousy results. Little Fox, guess which group I belonged to."
"Probably the first…" The atmosphere was very good now. Ye Jian was genuinely happy. "But, I'm not so sure. You might be the second group too. After all, the current Captain Xia still causes headaches for Commander Xia."
That's right. The second he opened his mouth, he told his father that he wanted to find a senior high student as his girlfriend. It was a good thing that the commander-in-chief restrained himself and didn't hit him.
"Smart. I belong to the second group. I didn't listen in school and never did in the courtyard too. Every day, I just wanted to play. The game I played the most is 'fighting war'. The children were split into two teams.
One was the enemy while one was our army. I was the general of our army. As the general, even if I didn't have a military uniform, I need to have a cap, right? Hence, I brought two of my friends out to steal a cap. We climbed into the logistics building using the water pipe and stole more than 20 caps."
"That year, the military just changed the design of their uniform so the caps were all new. I didn't know at that time but I stole the caps of the entire guard's team. I only realized that the cap was a little different after we finished playing. Thus, I decided against bringing the cap back home. I gave the dirty cap to a member of the enemy team who performed quite well and went back happily."
Ye Jian finally understood why Commander Xia didn't want to go home. A naughty Xia Jinyuan was really a headache. She asked, "What happened in the end?"
Even though this had happened a long time ago, Commander Xia still felt afraid when he answered for his son, "In the end, the caps were found in the bags of the children. But, the mastermind went to his grandparents' house to sleep that night. The entire courtyard was filled with the cries of children. Only my house didn't."
As expected of Captain Xia! He was able to detach himself from such a huge crime. Ye Jian gave him a thumbs up.
Commander Xia was distracted by his memories. He felt a little bitter as he said, "I noticed that you felt like hitting him just now. You can just hit him. There's no need to worry about injuring him or that I will be angry."
Ye Jian, who finally managed to relax, tensed up again. The commander-in-chief even managed to see that?
