Chapter 303: His Presence
Fortunately, he was there in her most youthful years.
Separated by his uniform, his body temperature was transmitted to her back. It felt warm and fuzzy as if every pore had absorbed his odor.
An uncomfortable Ye Jian closed her eyes and breathed calmly before speaking. “Can you please stay further away from me? Even though you are helping me, you don’t need to do it this way. Captain Xia, are you not afraid of being misunderstood?”
“Misunderstood? Why?” Under the butter lamps, Xia Jinyuan could clearly see Ye Jian. Clearly, her ears were red like blood.
He continued wiping the sweat from her forehead, replying to her in a deep and solemn voice. “What is there to misunderstand? I’m just wiping your sweat, letting you sleep comfortably.”
“Stop thinking too much, Little Fox. How old are you to keep thinking about all these? You will age faster when you worry and think too much.”
It really required effort to remind her about himself from time to time.
By taking away her shame bit by bit every day, she would probably never be shy in front of other men in the future, able to retain her calmness and composure.
However, Major Xia’s effort had to be acknowledged. He vowed to get Ye Jian to think about himself when she was alone.
For now, it was not love.
Love meant equals, waiting, loyalty. He still could not afford to let her wait. He just wanted to let her remember that if she really wanted to find a partner, the first person she would think of would be Xia Jinyuan.
Ye Jian knew that she was being teased again and remained silent, letting him help wipe her sweat.
In her heart, she was struggling with her thoughts. Should she go back to the bookstore and buy a few books about men’s psychology so that she would know how to react the next time she faces a man similar to him?
Xia Jinyuan knew when to stop. After waiting for her to calm down, he got serious and warned, “Do not get down for the next three days. I will be keeping an eye on you at any time, staying on guard. If there is a need, you can call me whenever you want in the next 24 hours, including going to the toilet!”
“Getting injured in the highlands is the most dangerous thing and I will need to ensure your safety! 24 hours later, Yang Jin will be able to help you and 72 hours later, you can move around slowly. I will send a vehicle to pick you up and leave this barren land a week later.”
Three days later, he would have to rush back and report to the military unit. He would stop over for a day and on the seventh day, drive back – just in time to pick her up.
After finishing his piece and wiping the sweat, he stood up, finally leaving Ye Jian some space to breathe deeply. If she could, she would have run out to enjoy some cool air.
“I’ll get Uncle Chen to come over. Some of the members said they want to visit you. Don’t move around, I won’t be taking responsibility if you expose yourself. The serious tone lasted only for a while. Ye Jian heaved a sigh of relief before she heard his chuckle again.
She opened and closed her eyes gently, before gently smiling. “I won’t let you take responsibility. It’s mine. Thanks for your help, I wanted to help everyone but looks like I gave you trouble instead.”
