1703: The Bottom Line

The Bottom Line

It was because Ye Jian was Xia Jinyuan's girlfriend. He was thankful that he was strict when training Ye Jian and didn't treat her a certain way just because she was a female soldier.0

He had already confirmed their relationship. Even if he wanted to make any advances toward Ye Jian, he had to scrap his plans. A friend's girlfriend was not to be touched. This was his bottom line. As a soldier, how could he cross that line?

Besides, he was not upset to find out that they were lovers. Instead, he felt that their relationship was normal.

Now, he was very sure that he only admired Ye Jian. He didn't have any other thoughts. Even the subtle feeling of happiness that he experienced every time he saw her smile was definitely not because he had feelings for her.

It was not that he had never been in a relationship before, nor had he never been moved. How could he treat the admiration between comrades as the romantic feelings between men and women?

However, he couldn't understand why he liked seeing Ye Jian smile so much and why it made him feel so happy.

This was his own private matter. He didn't want to bring it up, but now he had to talk to the commander-in-chief.

How should he put it?

He had to think about it for a while and string some words together to make things clear to the commander-in-chief.

Li Jinnian's personality was as cold as his expression. Plus, he was usually a man of few words, so there was no need to waste words during training. Hence, he wasn't used to speaking so much.

If possible, he really only wanted to say to the commander-in-chief, 'You're thinking too much.'

However, that would not do. If he did not say more this time, he might not be able to dispel the thoughts in the commander-in-chief's mind.

If he talked to Xia Jinyuan directly and said that he wanted to introduce Ye Jian as his girlfriend, he would be in big trouble.

At the thought of this possibility, Li Jinnian felt that he had to make things clear with the commander-in-chief immediately.

While he was still deliberating, the commander-in-chief of the navy turned anxious. "Li Jinnian, are you still a man? Is there a need to be so wishy-washy? Is it so difficult to give me an accurate answer?

"Or are you embarrassed to tell me? Do you want to be bored alone?"

The cabin was quiet. The commander-in-chief of the navy raised his voice slightly. The comrades in the front row could hear him clearly. They were all shocked by the commander-in-chief's words, "Li Jinnian, are you still a man?"

They knew very well whether the devil king was a man or not! He was definitely a man! A very, very capable and majestic man!

"What's the commander-in-chief talking about with Demon King Li? Why does it sound so awkward?"

"I don't know. It even involves whether Demon King Li is a man or not… Cough, I can prove that Demon King Li is definitely a man."

"What did you hear? I think it's quite interesting."

The comrades in the front row remained still, but their conversation wasn't hindered at all. All of them were making guesses with great interest. Sitting in front of Li Jinnian was Big Prawn and Big Whale. Sitting across the aisle were the scouts. They had good hearing and could hear everything even if they didn't want to.

Only the three of them knew what the commander-in-chief and Demon King Li were talking about.

They would definitely support the pursuit of Azure Bird, Ye Jian!

The two of them were well-coordinated in battle, and it was impossible to tell that it was their first time fighting. The two of them were very compatible when they stood together. Azure Bird was tall, and so was Demon King Li. Coupled with their good looks, it was indeed a joyous occasion for them to be together.
