Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don't Mess Around!

At six o’clock, the setting sun withdrew its last sunlight. The flaming light was overwhelmed by layers of clouds.

As the summer vacation began, the Provincial No.1 Middle School seemed especially quiet in the setting sun. By the bank of the Swan Lake, two pairs of ducks stayed among the water plants, cuddling each other with their necks and enjoying the tranquil time.

Ye Jian walked out the school, opened the car door and sat in the car... It was precisely six o’clock.

Xia Jinyuan had a mixed feeling about her punctuality.

She arrived neither earlier nor later than six o’clock. Was she so reluctant to spend one more minute with him?

“You arrived precisely on time. Aren’t you afraid that we might be delayed by something on our way there?” Xia Jinyuan started the car, smiling. He asked Ye Jian, who was still wearing her school uniform, “Ye Jian, you have arrived on time for three consecutive days. Do you hate me so much that you don’t want to spend one more minute with me?”

Likewise, she only said “thank you and goodbye” to him when they came back. As she alighted the car, she left chicly without looking back.

On the first day, he expected that she would turn around and wave at him after she entered the school gate. On the second day, he expected she would show up ten minutes earlier. On the third day... he held no expectation.

He would have suffered a heartache if he disputed with this insensitive girl.

Sometimes, Xia Jinyuan’s smiles were as faintly indiscernible as a subtle ripple but also mysterious like a deep and unfathomable ancient well.

Every time this extremely handsome and elegant man smiled at her, Ye Jian felt that... the surrounding air would become so thin that every breath she drew was filled with the faint smell of mint from him.

She was always calm and poised when she was with others. However, in front of Xia Jinyuan, she felt awkward.

Hearing this, she curled her lips to assume her usual composure. Calmly, she said, “I am very punctual. Captain Xia, you can arrive at six o’clock sharp every day so that you don’t need to wait for too long. I will keep my promise, even if I might be delayed by something.”

“But what if I want to arrive earlier to wait for you?” Xia Jinyuan stopped the car before the pedestrian crossing, waiting for the green traffic light. He tilted his head. As he saw the calm look on Ye Jian’ s face, he slightly raised his eyebrows. “Do you want to turn the air-conditioner a bit cooler? You seem... very hot.”

Of course, she was hot! To arrive on time, she ran all the way here. The weather was still hot, even after the sunset!

Not to mention that the man sitting next to her always said something that could lead to misunderstandings. As a grown woman, wasn’t it normal for her to feel awkward?

Ye Jian could not get rid of her awkward feeling—which would occur to her every time they met—until she reminded herself several times that the man was 20 years of age.

As she calmed down, her facial expressions became brighter. The instant the green traffic light lit up, Ye Jian turned around to smile at Xia Jinyuan, who was releasing his masculine charms. “Of course, I feel hot because I ran all the way here. What can I do? I can’t let you leave without me, Captain Xia.”

Her smile was gorgeous and refreshing as a blooming flower. The beauty in her black eyes dwarfed the rosy clouds in the sky.

Xia Jinyuan was caught off guard. Her smile, along with her “What can I do” jumped into his eyes. They even seemed to have imprinted in his mind.

“Captain Xia, if you don’t drive, the traffic police might come over.” His bewilderment made Ye Jian smile. There was a subtle smile in her black eyes. Tut! She could play using his tricks, all right?!
