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

Chapter 173: Don’t Bother to Guess Xia Jinyuan’s Mind

After chatting with the students, Ye Jian realized that over half of them had already prepared to study abroad. They would go abroad after their high school graduation.

Whenever this topic was brought up, Ye Jian would smile and remain silent. She was certain that the school she was going to attend would not be a foreign one.

Even if an overseas university gave her an offer, she would not accept it.

A silver sedan drove into the campus. Ye Jian saw Red Scorpion and three boys get in it. Claiming that she was tired, Ye Jian went back to the hotel with several boys in advance.

These were the students who had no intention of studying abroad.

The four of them went back to the hotel together. After they entered the elevator, they smiled at each other and understood why they were here. They agreed to meet at half past five and then went back to their rooms separately.

The string of hair which Ye Jian placed in the door lock was still there. She closed the door gently.

There was no scent of any stranger in her room, meaning that Red Scorpion did not enter her room while she was gone.

Ye Jian pulled out the communication device hidden beneath the mattress. She even wore the earpieces while she was asleep, just as what Xia Jinyuan had instructed. Besides, she was indeed a bit tired after a five-hour, highly-challenging exam. And Xia Jinyuan had told her to conserve as much as energy as possible in the limited time.

As soon as she put on the earpieces, she heard Xia Jinyuan’s leisurely and low-pitched voice from the other end. “You are so late. Would you like to come upstairs to have some Chinese instant noodles?”

“It’s three in the afternoon. Too late for lunch and too early for dinner,” answered Ye Jian cozily while lying in the soft bed. “I don’t have the habit of eating an extra meal. I have consumed too many of my brain cells this morning. Right now, I just want to rest.”

Xia Jinyuan’s room was directly above of Ye Jian’s, which was why he could get into Ye Jian’s room from her window last night.

“Was it very difficult? Did you finish all the questions?” he asked with a soft look in his eyes.

He participated in the Science Olympiad before, so he understood how challenging it could be. Sometimes it took him two to three pieces of paper to write down his solution to one geometry puzzle.

“It’s all right. I finished it one hour in advance and I reviewed it. No problem, I think. I’m a bit tired, I want to rest,” said Ye Jian, closing her eyes.

It seemed that Xia Jinyuan’s voice had dispelled her anxiety, making her feel quiet and peaceful.

Breathing slowly, Ye Jian stopped frowning. Accompanied by his melodious voice, she fell asleep.

Listening to the light breathing sounds from the earpieces, Xia Jinyuan made a sensuous curve on his mouth. The girl must be very tired that she fell asleep so soon.

“Sweet dreams. No need to think of anything. I am right here.”

He said softly with a gentle smile, which was no less than a miracle in the eyes of his comrade, Xu Yu.

Bewildered, Xia Jinyuan tilted his head to look at the strange expression of his comrade. “What?” asked Xia Jinyuan.

“You...” Xu Yu seemed a bit serious. He paused to reorganize his words. And then, he continued, “I know who you were talking to just now. If anyone doesn’t know about the situation here, they would assume you were talking to your girlfriend.”
