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

Chapter 1143: Sweet

There was finally a hint of a smile on Li Jinnian’s face. It was extremely faint, like a small wave in the sea. It disappeared very quickly but it was enough to dissipate the coldness in his expression. “I know that you always support what I do.”

With a superior that supported his work, he was able to disregard many external factors and allow his work to progress more smoothly and orderly.

“Supporting you is what I should do. Come, let’s go back to the dormitory. It’s good that you’re going there tomorrow. The new batch of soldiers is worse than last year’s batch. They can’t even be compared to your batch. I wonder if the good soldiers have all been chosen by other units. I feel that they are too impulsive and incomparable to the soldiers in the past.”

The commander-in-chief was speaking in a stern tone. The lights at the side of the corridor shone on the two figures wearing the same clean white military uniform until they disappeared at the staircase.

The wind blew and the waves crashed on land. The sentinels held their guns and stood up straight. They observed their surroundings with eagle eyes until dawn broke.

A new day started with the arrival of the sun. Xia Jinyuan finished his morning run and placed a bowl of piping hot white porridge in front of Ye Jian who just finished washing up. He said seriously, “I didn’t hear any compliments yesterday night. Later, after you finish the first mouthful, remember to praise me. I’m waiting for it.”

Sometimes, Major Xia acts childishly too!

Ye Jian pursed her lips and smiled. After swallowing a spoonful of porridge, she complimented, “Not bad, the porridge you made is thick but not sticky, and it’s very fragrant...” To compensate for her lack of praises yesterday, Ye Jian took ten minutes to finish her porridge today.

Five minutes were spent on complimenting Major Xia!

In front of him, even if it was just a bowl of porridge, Ye Jian kept smiling. It was a smile that came from the bottom of her heart. Her smile was like the sun that just rose outside, bright and warm.

In her past life, she was extremely quiet. She was talented but she didn’t make use of it. She rarely smiled too. This time, only Xia Jinyuan was able to give her so much happiness such that she was finally able to smile like a blossomed flower.

Looking at her smiling as she spoke, looking at the happiness in her eyes where sadness couldn’t be seen at all, the dark clouds in Xia Jinyuan’s gaze disappeared.

He felt that he wouldn’t need to worry about her training in the future. He could really let go now... And let her face them herself. She didn’t need him to straighten her thoughts for her anymore or guide her emotions. She could do it alone.

After experiencing so many difficulties, his little fox had become more persistent, more mature, and her mentality had gotten stronger too. She wouldn’t reveal any helplessness anymore when a comrade she knew sacrificed.

At 6.30 am, Ye Jian went back to her room to pack the revision textbooks she needed to bring to school today. Xia Jinyuan washed the dishes.

After he finished washing the dishes, he saw Ye Jian standing in front of his luggage. From her side profile, she looked a little stern.

Ye Jian turned around when she heard footsteps. She looked at the tall figure walking towards her. She bent down with pursed lips and took out a set of training clothes that were stained with mud. “Captain Xia, where did you rush over from this time?”

...

Looking at the bag he forgot to zip yesterday night, Xia Jinyuan smiled casually. “I didn’t rush. I came over after I finished my work. I didn’t hurry here purposely.”
