He stood at the side of the door and took off his raincoat. The rainwater formed a line and dripped on the hotel room’s carpet. Very soon, it formed a water stain on the carpet. He just bought this raincoat. There was another new raincoat in his hand.
After taking off his raincoat, Ye Jian noticed that his military uniform was stuck to his body because it was drenched. Water even flowed down his pants and dripped into his leather shoes.
She pursed her lips slightly as she turned around hurriedly and placed the raincoat into the bathroom. Then, she ran out and took the bathroom slippers provided by the hotel from the shoe cabinet. “Change your shoes. Change your military attire too. You said that I need to bath but you need to bath too.”
“During training, we don’t have time to take note of our health. Hence, when we don’t have training, we should take more notice of it. Grandpa Gen and Uncle Chen always let me soak in hot water using medicinal herbs after every training.”
Her voice was soft. Her black hair was like silk. It fell down smoothly from the side of her shoulder when she bent down to take his shoes and changed them for him. He lowered his head and looked down. He saw the side of her forehead which was glowing like jade as well as her pretty and sharp nose... He briefly looked at her and noticed her obedient and thoughtful side.
Little Fox had many different faces. When she was vicious, she was really vicious. But, when she was kind, even an ice mountain would melt.
The military attire included socks and leather shoes. All of them were unified. Before getting into the car, Ye Jian noticed that his leather shoes were sparkling clean. Now, they were all wet, inside and outside.
Just as she was about to reach her hand out to take his shoes into the bathroom and pour the water out, Xia Jinyuan, who was bending his back down to take off his socks gave a very big reaction. He was halfway through changing his socks but he immediately blocked Ye Jian and said in a low voice, “I’ll do it myself. Go and sit properly. Take care of your wound first.”
His reaction was so big because ever since he was able to change his shoes himself, no ladies had ever helped him to take off his shoes and socks before.
This was just like how Ye Jian had never met a man who helped her to buy undergarments before in her entire two lifetimes. In some aspects, the two of them were very similar. They both had an upright life and were self-disciplined.
Ye Jian looked up in confusion. When she saw the nervous look on the handsome face, she suddenly understood that this was a good chance for her to retaliate.
“My injury isn’t serious. I took a look at it. It’s in good condition.” She raised her eyebrows. When she lifted the corners of her lips slightly and her eyes curved into a crescent, she really looked like a little fox that was about to do something bad. She continued, “Are you shy? That’s really rare. I thought nothing can make Captain Xia shy. I never expected it to be changing shoes for you.”
Didn’t he tell her that there’s nothing to be shy about when he was going to buy undergarments for her? Now, it was his turn to be embarrassed so she must tease him about it and let him experience her awkwardness.
Xia Jinyuan saw her smile and knew that she was teasing him. He said helplessly, “After turning five years old, no one has ever touched my clothes or my shoes. I’m not shy, I’m just not used to it.”
Admitting that he was not used to it was better than admitting that he was embarrassed! Major Xia was regretting his actions too. Why did he react so aggressively? What was there to be shy about!
Ye Jian was smiling so brightly her eyes were curved too. She took his shoes and pointed at his dark-colored socks which were halfway on his feet. She said calmly, “I’m not used to Captain Xia helping me to buy my clothes too. Hence, I should help you to change your shoes. Captain Xia better get used to it so that you won’t feel awkward.”
