The car would arrive in ten minutes, but Ye Jian wasn’t able to dry the shirt during this period of time.
A moment ago, he was still saying that they had an entire afternoon. In a blink of an eye, they were racing with time. This was the life of a soldier. Even when they were on holiday, they couldn’t relax entirely. There would be notifications of emergency missions anytime, and they would need to return to their military unit immediately.
Especially for special soldiers like Xia Jinyuan, their time didn’t belong to them. It belonged to the country.
When Xia Jinyuan saw Ye Jian shaking his shirt with one hand furiously, his gaze started to darken. His tall and slender figure started moving closer to her slowly.
He was so close that his shoulder pasted on her shoulder. Even though the thick bathrobe, his scorching body temperature still flowed over. His warmth retained on her skin.
“This time, I might have to stay there for a longer period of time. It will be inconvenient to contact you over there. All communications will be lost. You must take care of your arm injury. Don’t let it split open again. A gun wound isn’t like any other injuries. If you don’t take care of it, you might get infected. Sometimes, a small wound can result in an amputation.”
“I want to take care of you very much but, Little Fox, this is the truth a soldier has to accept. When your loved one needs you the most, you had to leave her. You can’t even contact her.”
“You said that I will be fooled, but I’m ‘lying’ to a kind and good lady too.” He lowered his head. The slightly cold lips planted a light kiss on her forehead. “This Xia Jinyuan will not be a responsible man who can always stay beside his girlfriend. Hence, this Xia Jinyuan used the easiest methods to catch the girl that he fell in love with.”
“I want to be the only one who can admire the most beautiful scenery in my eyes. This kind of Xia Jinyuan is quite a bastard, but he still wanted to have this happiness. Don’t worry. As long as you have feelings towards me, we will have a long time to understand each other.”
“To us, time is about understanding and accepting each other, and then staying together forever. I will love until you’re the only lady in my world. I hope that, in your eyes, in your world, there’ll only be a man called Xia Jinyuan.”
He stretched his hand out and turned off the hairdryer she was holding. There were still three minutes left. Why should they waste it on a shirt that couldn’t be dried?
He’d rather spend the time hugging her tightly and kissing her deeply again.
As their lips touched, their breaths intertwined. At the start, Ye Jian’s widened her eyes. But, slowly, she closed them.
If... love really came, please allow her to have some time to accept this man, a man whose kiss she didn’t resist.
She lived for two lifetimes. The difficulties she received in her past life allowed her to be rewarded in this lifetime. In that case, would love, something that she never thought of having, be bestowed to her too?
She responded to him like an amateur. She placed her hand lightly but resolutely on his heart.
She felt the powerful heartbeat on her palm. The heartbeat knocked into her heart through her palm.
Her heartbeat started following his rhythm too. It was beating a little too quickly.
This was his heartbeat. This was the most fragile part of a human body too. It was the part where a special forces soldier had to protect the most. Yet, he allowed her to touch it so easily.
