Ye Jian didn’t think that putting on the bathrobe would be inconvenient to roll up her sleeves! Last night when she was wearing her uniform, she could easily change the gauze.
No matter what she did, the wound would not show up. She decided to give up and change into the clothes that he had bought for her.
“The bathrobe sleeves are thick and wide, and your wound is just above the arm. It’s best to pull down the bathrobe halfway to reveal your shoulder.” Xia Jinyuan grabbed her wrist calmly and smiled, “This is the least troublesome way. Are you planning to put on the clothes I bought? Without changing... your underwear?”
He deliberately paused as he said the last sentence, and then successfully revealed Ye Jian’s thought of changing her clothes.
Back then at the depopulated zone, she was topless as she laid down in front of him. To reveal her shoulder was no big deal compared to that.
Ye Jian wasn’t someone bashful. She sat down sideways and pulled the bathrobe down to her shoulder, revealing her white and delicate skin. Xia Jinyuan could see her delicate and tender shoulder now.
Xia Jinyuan, who had no intention of admiring that, immediately looked at her wound. He was already frowning.
A bit of red seeped through the gauze. The wound had opened up again.
“You can’t go for training with the motorized infantry this week. Your wound has opened up repeatedly.” His right hand grabbed her arm while his left hand started to remove the bandage. After removing the gauze, he could see the open wound, but there was no sign of swelling.
His sharp gaze softened slightly, and he looked up and saw Ye Jian’s side profile with her lips pursed up. It looked good, but there was a hint of stubbornness in them.
He used a pair of tweezers to hold a sterile cotton ball soaked in saline to gently clean her wound skillfully. He then used his deep, low voice and said, “This is for your health. I’m not trying to prevent you from training with them. It’s not too late when you’ve recovered fully. Commander Liu said that you learn fast. The amount you pick up in a month is equal to what others do in half a year.”
“That is to say, with your results now, you can take a breather for the time being. You don’t have to train everyday, so that you don’t hurt the male soldiers’ self-confidence. You need to give them some face.”
She was stubborn with herself. He could only explain to her in detail.
With one hand on her hips to help facilitate him cleaning her wounds, Ye Jian looked over and asked, “You told Commander Liu that I wouldn’t be training for the next few days?”
It turns out she was angry because he acted without asking anyone.
Xia Jinyuan, with his light hand movements, was focused on her Pakistani stray bullet wound, and smiled, “Your training is your personal matter. I can’t make decisions for you. It’s just a suggestion. The final decision is yours to make.”
Gunshot wounds are not just broken skin wounds, but also burn wounds. That was why the recovery period was much slower than typical injuries. Furthermore, with the wound opening up repeatedly, the recovery would be even slower.
It was about a week in the past, but now, it would take around ten days to heal.
Ye Jian truly disliked him making decisions regarding her training. Hearing that, she was a bit embarrassed and apologized, “Sorry, I misunderstood you. I thought you called Commander Liu.”
“If I don’t understand you, I would definitely have called to cancel the training, but I remembered you telling me that you will make your own decisions for your own matters. Well, training is your own personal matter, and I won’t do anything about it.”
