Chapter 1882 Only You Could Say That
No one else could’ve been that nervous; there wasn’t any need for Xia Jinyuan to say anything else; Ye Jian, who was talking to herself, started to straighten her Cadet Winter uniform and was afraid she’d breach etiquette because of her clothes.
After changing into her Winter uniform in the hospital, she had groomed herself for a good while, shoulder strap, collar insignia, bowtie, belt, she had readied them perfectly because her clothes had been kept in the luggage and hadn’t been brought out to wear for a long time, she purposely went to the life care worker to borrow an iron so she could iron all the creases out of her clothes.
She had already inspected everything in detail and was still worried she’d breach etiquette because of her clothes, and it was evident she was extremely nervous.
After entering the compound, Xia Jinyuan drove slower as he wore a smile on his thin lips; he looked at her with a gentle gaze, the hands with slender fingers very elegantly steered the steering wheel towards the avenue on the left, “Everything’s great, there’s nothing to worry about.”
“Little fox, you’re too nervous, loosen up a little, it’s not like my father is fierce; what are you nervous about? Besides, you had already seen my father before; it couldn’t even be counted as the ugly daughter-in-law meeting her future in-laws.”
“After my dad heard you were coming, he was really happy, because good news came too suddenly, he was wondering if I was teasing him on purpose. He only believed me after asking thrice.”
“You say you’re nervous; maybe my father’s more nervous than you.”
Ye Jian, who was having a hard time sitting still from her anxiety, had been brought to laughters because of him.
“Only you could say that, how would the Supreme Commander be nervous!” After his tease, Ye Jian felt that she was finally not as nervous as when the car first drove into the compound; after patting her chest, she then drew in several deep breaths, “Not nervous, not nervous, the blade will come down, either way, bite the bullet and everything will be over!”
Hearing that, Xia Jinyuan’s forehead twitched twice as he was distracted from driving, “… My house isn’t the execution grounds; no blade will come down. Haven’t you gone through mental exercises usually? Why don’t they work at a time like this?”
“Those are two completely different concepts.” Ye Jian gave him a sideways look and continued taking deep breaths, “Those mental exercises either prepare you for battle or for turning into a captive, how can they be compared to this?”
“How can they not? You’re so nervous right now you make it seem like this is scarier than going into battle, little fox; you need to calm down. How about you just imagine that my father is an extremely evil villain, and you are an undercover agent? Your mission is to obtain the villain’s trust so that it’ll be easier for our friendly forces to get inside and steal enemy intel and achieve full-scale victory.”
Facing her nervousness, Major Xia kept his laughter in on one side while tossing out evil plans one after the other, basically slandering his own father while he was at it, as he intended to make Ye Jian relax.
Ye Jian had finally realized how the father-son duo — Supreme Commander Xia and Captain Xia — got along with each other, and I diss you, you diss me, if they managed to catch a chance, they’ll definitely roll their sleeves up and go fight!
During their first meeting, the Supreme Commander had said he and Captain Xia fought frequently,… it seems like that was true, without any falsehoods behind them.
Their way of getting along with each other may make their relationship appear distant, but in reality, the relationship between father and son was quite close; they got along like brothers and treated each other as equals; it was a very easy way of getting along with each other.
Ye Jian said enviously: “Your father-son relationship with the Supreme Commander is really close.”……
Facing the sudden praise, Major Xia, who was usually thick-skinned, appeared uncomfortable, “I always got into fights with my old man, we’ve always disliked each other, you could say our father-son relationship was forged out of fighting.”
“However, the kids in our compound were more or less the same, like Han Zheng, in the past, he and I had planned whether or not to steal the old man’s sidearm and make them anxious.”
