Chapter 1924: Hard To Part

By the time the two of them tossed around until they really fell asleep, it was already 3 a.m. Xia Jinyuan, who was exhausted leading the troops, finally fell asleep, but when he woke up, he found that Ye Jian, who was in his arms, was not there.

His arms felt empty for a moment. If it weren’t for a few red scratches on his shoulders, he almost thought what happened last night was just a dream.

It was half an hour before 8 a.m; Ye Jian, who trotted downstairs to get breakfast from the hotel restaurant, returned with congee, pickles, bread, and other food. She gently pushed the door and came in, not planning to wake up the tired man.

The large troops were trained by Xia Jinyuan after entering the plateau and mountain areas. With Devil King Li’s assistance, the entire training was high-intensity and high-risk. As the highest commander of the two teams, Xia Jinyuan was under pressure.

After seeing that he could finally sleep comfortably, Ye Jian couldn’t bear to wake him up too early. She planned to wake him up at 7:50 a.m.

Ten minutes of washing was more than enough; it would not delay any business.

Putting breakfast on the coffee table, Ye Jian, who was covered in sweat, took out the neatly hung winter clothes from the closet and went into the shower room outside.

Xia Jinyuan, who was on the phone in the bedroom, had noticed her return since she opened the door lightly; he whispered as he put on his clothes, “Okay, I’ll leave in ten minutes. I’ll talk to you in detail when we meet.”

It was the Army Major General on the phone. The major who had not had enough rest had a new mission again.

They had no rest time. How many days in a year were they on standby? Once they received a task, they must rush back immediately, no matter where they were.

Xia Jinyuan, who had finished talking with the Army Major General, opened the bedroom door and walked out. Listening to the sound of water in the shower room, a gentle smile appeared on his handsome face.

“Little fox, I’m coming in.” Knocking on the glass bathroom door, the Major in military uniform smiled and said, “Pull the curtain so I can’t see you.”

Ye Jian closed the showerhead when she heard the knock on the door. After hearing what he said, she immediately raised her hand and pulled the shower curtain tight, “Use the bathroom inside! I’ll still need two minutes.”

“All my toiletries are in there. Also, I just received a call from the military department. I need to leave in ten minutes. The time is a bit urgent.” Xia Jinyuan really didn’t dare to barge indirectly at this moment, for fear she would splash water at himself, so he had to explain clearly.

As soon as Ye Jian heard it, she knew he needed to perform a task, so she didn’t delay further, letting him in immediately.

The sound of the water behind the half plain water-proof curtain gave out “swooshing” sounds. His long, straight leg was tapping the floor from time to time. The major cleared his throat before going in quickly.

When he finished washing, the sound of water inside stopped, and his eyes fell on the military uniforms and bath towels placed on the hangers outside. The young Major with dark eyes took off the bath towels and walked to the shower curtain, which was only three steps away from him, and whispered: “Are you okay with me dressing you?”

“I…I…why would I need you to do that for me? I can wear my own clothes! If I ask you to dress me, then I don’t think I’ll be wearing any clothes today.”

Ye Jian’s face burnt like fire as soon as she heard it. She was frightened by his words.

Having said that, she felt that she was a little bit weak and short of breath. So she sternly made up in a serious voice, “Captain Xia, you can go out to have breakfast first; I will take care of my own stuff.”
