The reason why she chose to come back for the military training was because she didn’t want to miss the good times of her student life, and the memories that she can forge with her classmates.
“Eh? Ye Jian? Why are you here?” Lu Xin, the class leader, saw Ye Jian as he walked out of the infirmary holding his medicine. She was supposed to be on leave. He smiled with surprise, “Mrs. Tong said that you went to the hospital to take care of your relative and wouldn’t be here for the seven days. It’s not seven days yet, why are you here?”
Mrs. Tong mentioned it in class before that Ye Jian wouldn’t be there for the military training. The other students could accept that since Ye Jian left when they had their evening study sessions previously.
“Ye Jian will naturally come since her relative was discharged. Now that the deputy class leader is here, you won’t be that busy anymore.” Everyone could see how An Jiaxin was during military training. She was generous, bold and forthright. Even the instructor told her to join the military if she couldn’t get into university.
With that sentence, An Jiaxin persevered.
Lu Xin chuckled, “That’s great news. Ye Jian, have you had lunch? Go report to Mrs. Tong after you’re done. We need to arrange a space for you, otherwise, you would have no place to sleep at night. As for uniforms...”
Lu Xin’s grades were not the best, but he was always happy to help. No one had any opinions with him being the class leader. He might nag a bit, but the girls would feel ashamed when he gets meticulous.
Now, he was starting to remind Ye Jian of what she should do later.
He was pointing at Ye Jian and scratched his head in embarrassment after seeing that she was in her camouflage uniform. “I’ve been dazed by the heat. I didn’t realize that you were already wearing the camouflage uniform. Oh, your camouflage uniform looks better than ours. The colors are not quite right. Ours is a bit whiter, and yours is darker... Why does it look so good?”
Ye Jian always had the habit of letting others finish speaking. When their gaze landed on her, she smiled, “I didn’t receive the uniforms beforehand. This set was taken directly from the military unit. It should be the one that soldiers usually wore for training, which is why it’s darker than yours.”
“That’s not right. Why do you fit so well in it? No, no. It’s... it’s...” Lu Xin was scanning Ye Jian from top to bottom and felt something odd. When she spoke, her chin was slightly clenched, but her back was very straight. Although she was still holding Li Qian at the moment, she gave off a special and dignified aura.
After Lu Xin said that, An Jiaxin and the rest finally reacted to it.
Ye Jian smiled slightly, “There’s nothing different. It’s just the camouflage patterns.”
Listening to her cool voice, and then looking at the charming face, An Jiaxin couldn’t describe how different that familiar face was even though she was the closest to Ye Jian. Her heart was pumping until she was flustered.
She realized... that she didn’t dare to make eye contact with Ye Jian anymore. Those eyes that were smiling had too much darkness that she couldn’t look directly into it. It was like... she had to acquire Ye Jian’s permission if she wanted to say one more sentence.
It was not just An Jiaxin who thought of it that way. Yang Yi, Liu Lizhen, Zhang Yueyan all had the same feeling. They were even more flustered than An Jiaxin was.
