Ye Jian was not affected by her at all. Carrying her schoolbag, she walked leisurely out of her school. Just as she was about to trot for half an hour to the New Recruit Camp, she heard several honking sounds of a car.
One honk meant hurry; two honks indicated urgency. What the ordinary people didn’t know was that it was how the military vehicles greeted the soldiers. Ye Jian immediately looked around to find the car.
“Get in,” Xia Jinyuan probed his head out of the car window, waving at Ye Jian, who was standing still. “Why are you standing still? I can send you home.”
You even know the greeting methods of the driving team. Girl, have you learned all the methods of communication of every soldier in the army?
Automatically, Ye Jian wanted to refuse this elegant and dangerous man. Noticing the fake smile, which made him seem very understanding of everything, on his face, Ye Jian sighed gently and walked over to him with a natural facial expression.
She pulled open the door to the passenger seat, hopping onto the car deftly. As she smiled and looked at him, she seemed rather poised.
Her look made Xia Jinyuan smile wryly. “You really don’t know what I am here for, do you?”
She’s a calm girl. But I don’t believe that she doesn’t know why I am here.
“No, I do not. But I assume it’s something important now that Captain Xia wants to see me in person,” Ye Jian curled her lips, forming a refreshing and intelligent smile. “But if you don’t tell me, I don’t know what it is about.”
Xia Jinyuan’s smile became more obvious. His handsome face was as pure and bright as the moon. “Ye Jian, you are having very bad manners. You know exactly what this is about,” he said in a languid tone.
“I believe that I just need to keep something to myself only and it’s unnecessary to speculate what’s in others’ minds,” said Ye Jian calmly. She could even maintain her composure in front of the formidable military authority. “One should stay still if his enemy has not taken any actions. Isn’t it one of the military strategies?”
The girl had progressed significantly overnight. She even knew how to reason with him using military strategies.
While Xia Jinyuan was driving, he glanced at her, smiling. “Where have you put the thing? It’s a dangerous item. Besides, you aren’t qualified to wield it or possess it. Despite your good intention, you’d better hand it in and let us take care of it.”
“I’m not carrying it. It’s in my dormitory,” since he had put it that way, Ye Jian had no need to play dumb. She confessed frankly, “I didn’t use it. I’ve been keeping it properly, waiting for you guys to fetch it.”
He was right. Without a qualified identity, it was no use to occupy the gun. Grandpa Gen and Principal Chen didn’t instruct her painstakingly so that she would become a deliberate lawbreaker.
Besides, she didn’t give a care in the world about that pistol.
She went to her dormitory, taking the pistol out of the lowest level of the shoe cabinet. In less than three minutes, she returned.
The car was parked outside. Xia Jinyuan, who was sitting in the car before, was currently having a conversation with Principal Chen.
Under the setting sun, the tall and strong man who was as elegant and handsome as a prince smiled gently. Nodding at Principal Chen, who had said something to him, he said, “We will try to come back by tomorrow afternoon.”
“Good. I will put my mind at ease if she goes with you,” hearing the sounds of running behind him, Principal Chen turned around as he finished his words. Smiling amiably at the approaching Ye Jian, he said, “Captain Xia is taking you into the city. Now that you have registered for the competition, you might as well go to the municipal library to buy some sets of mock exams as practice.”
