Even when she was feeling helpless, there was a sly look on her face. She seemed to be yielding to him but she knew what she wanted.
Xia Jinyuan took two steps back and stood in front of her. His tall figure blocked the moonlight. Ye Jian was covered entirely by his shadow.
Under the faint moonlight and the lights from the lamps, he raised his hand and patted her head lightly. He said gently, “You don’t want to stay in school during the weekend, right? Do you want a place that you can train at?”
“I’ll give you ten seconds to decide if you want to follow me.” He looked at her. Even in the dark, he was able to find her face easily.
Ye Jian sighed lightly. She smiled. “I can’t reject your offer. I don’t need ten seconds. One second is enough. I’ll follow you. Lead the way, Captain Xia.”
His gaze was gentle and deep. Ye Jian didn’t think that she had any reason to reject him.
It was past 10 pm but the city was still busy. Their car left the police station and drove in another direction. Xia Jinyuan said as he was driving, “You can go to the military district in the provincial city during the weekends. I’ll ask someone to look after you. I’ll bring you over to meet some people and then get you a pass.”
“You can go there after your school ends on Friday and come back on Sunday afternoon. The military district here is not as big as the one in Fujun Town but believe me, there’s no lack of top soldiers.”
Since she was destined to enter the military, why not let her get used to the environment first.
Also, he could tell that she didn’t like to depend on other people.
Hence, he would give her the chance to open her own network using her own capability.
If he wanted to succeed in wooing this sly little fox, he must put in a lot of effort.
Ye Jian tilted her body and looked intently at the man who helped her so much. She stared at his handsome face. She wanted to ask him why he treated her so well but the words got stuck in her throat.
The words felt like thorns. They seemed to be able to cut her throat if she said it out.
She didn’t want to accept his goodwill.
She had nothing to repay him.
“Do you want to sleep?” Xia Jinyuan had been looking at her from the corner of his eyes. “What are you thinking? Do you have any questions?”
“Oh, are you thinking why I’m bringing you to the military district?”
Ye Jian clenched her fist tightly. Her heart pounded furiously. She looked calm but she was all tensed up.
Please don’t say anything that would give me a headache.
Xia Jinyuan glanced at her a few times. He noticed her nervousness so he smiled and explained, “Before I came, I called Uncle Gen. He asked me for help to see if I can bring you to the provincial military district.”
“I won’t reject such small matters. You’re a talented person. Even the regimental commander and the political commissar in the military unit recognized you. Even if I don’t bring you to the provincial military unit, the regimental commander and the political commissar will do it.”
Ye Jian relaxed after hearing what he said. She heaved a sigh of relief secretly. So this was what happened.
Outside the car window, the lights from the lamps flashed past. He saw her expression relaxing instantly.
She was still a young lady. She was smart but she was still young.
He just moved a little and she got so nervous. She seemed afraid that he would say something which she couldn’t promise him now.
