This is how soldiers date. There’s no romance or surprises. There’s only deep longing and heartache for the other party. However, they didn’t regret becoming soldiers.
Xia Jinyuan ate faster than Ye Jian. After finishing, he reminded Ye Jian to wash the dishes before rushing out. Before he left, Ye Jian saw him taking down the booklet used to record the cleanliness of the kitchen. Then, he walked towards the kitchen with his long legs.
He was a major so people would forgive him if they found him eating in the kitchen. On the other hand, she was just a student. This wasn’t something she should so. She would be punished if someone noticed her.
Thinking about this, Ye Jian hastened her pace. She was afraid that the cooking team would come back and find her.
After eating, she washed their plates and placed them nicely. She came out and saw Xia Jinyuan half-squatting on the field behind the kitchen. His slender and long body was curled up. He looked like a predator waiting for his prey, cold and ruthless.
He seemed to have cut his hair. The roots of his hair at the back of his head was even. It revealed his neckline. The thick and black hair roots gave off an unruly feel. They must be prickly. Ye Jian thought to herself as she lowered her head.
His right arm was moving. He seemed to be doing something delicate.
Suddenly, Ye Jian thought of something. She stopped abruptly. She wanted to run away.
He said that he wanted to talk to her about the love letters. Then, he took the booklet and the pen away. Looking at him now... if she thought about it carefully and in that direction... could it be that he was writing... a love letter?
Ye Jian pursed her lips unintentionally when she thought of this possibility. Her fair and smooth face started turning red and warm.
I should leave! Captain Xia’s father is Commander Xia. He is the highest-ranking officer in the military. Captain Xia is his son. Ye Jian finally remembered this important thing. She didn’t dare to stay any longer. She ran away like a rabbit running from its predator.
Xia Jinyuan heard the commotion behind him but he hadn’t finish writing so he couldn’t get up. So what if it was a love letter? Little Fox wouldn’t read those letters written by childish little boys.
He felt furious that someone did the thing he always wanted to do. At first, he wanted to wait for Little Fox to enter university before sending her a letter.
He couldn’t bear with this. He must write a love letter.
“I don’t know what is love. However, when you smile, I’ll smile. When you’re in pain, my heart will hurt. I think that that is love. They say that the love of the Special Forces is painful. Our love can’t be exposed. We have to hide our love in a dark and cold corner, struggling in agony. That is the pain of being lovesick.”
“Little Fox, I don’t know how it feels to be lovesick. I just know that when I relax, I will wonder how you are living. When I was in the desert and looking at the sea of sand, I felt that flying past somewhere where you had been is a blessing too.”
After finishing this sentence, Xia Jinyuan lifted his pen and purposely added, “As compared to young little boys who only use their body to love, I feel that understanding each other’s thoughts is the definition of true love.” This sentence was... filled with jealousy.
