95: It Was A Surprise Indeed

It Was A Surprise Indeed

Her smooth and black hair drooped onto her shoulders. Looking from one side, her face was exquisite. She was so concentrated that Xia Jinyuan could not bear to bother her. Inadvertently, he gazed at her elegant and gorgeous swan-like neck for a few seconds. And then, he calmly looked away.1

Absorbed in the exam paper, Ye Jian didn't notice his gaze. Occasionally, her long and white fingers would gently stroke across the paper. She was calculating the last difficult puzzle.

Xia Jinyuan started to get busy around 10:20 AM.

The communication device in the car beeped from time to time and someone would report their work process from the other side. Ye Jian had finished answering one sheet of exam paper before they entered the highway. Seeing this, Ye Jian sat at the back seat to take a nap, so that she wouldn't disturb him while he was working.

During work, Xia Jinyuan was poised and fierce. His words and actions displayed his noble disposition and his natural leadership.

Confidence, composure, and concentration… Indeed, one could learn many qualities, which a soldier should possess, from him.

Perhaps it was because Ye Jian only slept for two or three hours last night, the deep and low-pitched voice of Xia Jinyuan sounded like a lullaby to her, making her close her eyes slowly… She had no idea when she fell asleep.

When she woke up, the car had exited the highway. Xia Jinyuan was driving on the national road to the direction of her town.

It was three in the afternoon when they arrived at Fujun Town. Ye Jian went to the New Recruit Camp rather than her school. There were two Chinese classes in the afternoon. She assumed Mrs. Ke didn't want to see her either.

"Carry all your belongings. And this…" Xia Jinyuan didn't drive into the camp. Instead, he parked beneath the camp.

He opened the trunk and took out a bag, on which the characters of "Xinhua Bookstore" were printed. Inside the bag were the several military books that he bought yesterday. "There are four books in it. They are all about basic military knowledge. You can take a look."

It was not until now did Ye Jian realize that those several introductory military books she saw in the car yesterday were meant to be given to her.

She didn't turn him down pretentiously. But she took over them after a momentary hesitation.

With a frank smile, she thanked him. After his car drove out of her sight, she glanced at the books presented by him. Exhaling gently, she walked over to the camp.

As she returned to her dormitory, she put all of her exam papers on the shelf. She opened Xia Jinyuan's bag and was about to arrange the four books from him. Inside the bag, she saw a file pocket folded neatly between the books. It was the file pocket that she saw on Xia Jinyuan's hands in the police station.

Ye Jian…

Her name was written on the file pocket. The handwriting style of a person could tell so much about his/her personality. And these very characters seemed powerful and formidable.

As Ye Jian's fingers gently squeezed the file pocket, her eyes lit up right away, and the look on her tiny face was as bright and gorgeous as peach blossoms!

This was the silver wire… which she kept thinking about last night!!

Hastily, she opened the file pocket and held the coiled silver wire in her hands. She gently spread it, wrapping its both ends on her left and right hand skillfully. She felt as if the cold touch of it had penetrated into her heart.

Just like last night, she wrapped the silver wire in her hands deftly, as if it was a living creature that could do anything it wanted to.

Swish. With a subtle sound, the silver wire flew across the air and tightly wrapped a bedpost. When Ye Jian took back the silver wire, her eyes looked resplendent and she became increasingly gorgeous. As she moved, she was as bright as the peach blossoms; when she was quiet, she was as elegant as the orchids in an empty valley.

He gave it to me! He took it out from the police station and gave it to me!
