Chapter 753: Times Spent Together
Ye Jian used the huge towel to wrap the uniform and placed it on the vanity table. She used so much force that the knuckles on the back of her slender hands turned a little greenish-white.
Xia Jinyuan never knew that the feeling of having someone washing his military attire was so warm and sweet.
Xia Jinyuan’s gaze was gentle as she looked quietly at Ye Jian while she cleaned his military uniform. She took out the uniform from the towel and placed it on another huge towel. Then, she bent down halfway and straightened the creases on the uniform with her hands.
“It’s very wet but at least it isn’t dripping water. You don’t have to worry that your clothes will wet the seats of the taxi.” Her words sounded miserable but that was the truth. Ye Jian noticed that Xia Jinyuan wasn’t moving so she passed his pants to him. “Change your pants inside. I’ll use the hairdryer to blow your uniform for a little while.”
“Have you booked your plane ticket? Will the plane be able to take off properly in this huge storm? Do you want to ask the hotel when the first flight to the capital city will be?”
At this moment, Ye Jian revealed a level of thoughtfulness that didn’t coincide with her age. However, to Xia Jinyuan, this was normal.
Children who didn’t have parents were always more mature. They could only live properly if they knew how to take care of themselves. Ye Jian belonged to this category. She was a lady that could take care of herself properly.
He took over the wet pants that weren’t dripping with water. There was a smile on his handsome face. “Every time I go far away, I always pack my own luggage. Sometimes, there isn’t even any luggage. I just wear my combat attire, take a gun, a communication device, and leave without any hesitation for my belief.”
“In the past, the first thing I did when I come back was to wash the gunpowder and blood off my body. Then, I’ll have a good sleep. I’m very happy to see you helping me to tidy my military uniform, Little Fox.”
He spoke softly. His deep voice still sounded a little stern due to the call just now, but it was much softer already. “There’s no need to go through so much trouble. This is good enough.”
Ye Jian lowered her eyes. The ventilation fan was on in the bathroom. Amidst the quiet whirring of the ventilation fan, her voice could be heard faintly, “There’ll be a chance. Change your pants first. I’ll go out.”
She took the belt down from the hanger and wiped it with the towel. Then, she passed the military pants to him along with the belt left the bathroom while hugging his military uniform and his shirt.
It didn’t take much time for Xia Jinyuan to change his pants. By the time he finished, Ye Jian hadn’t even dried half of the sleeve of the shirt. Xia Jinyuan walked over to the cabinet beside the top of the bed half-naked. His sexy and muscular upper body was revealed. He took his cell phone and sat down casually at the top of the bed while scrolling his phone.
“A car will come and fetch me later. You can spend the night in the hotel and go to school tomorrow morning for your morning self-study. Take your dinner at the hotel. The rain is heavy so try not to go out.”
The sound of the hairdryer was very loud. Hence, he leaned close to Ye Jian’s ear when he was speaking. A man’s smell immediately engulfed Ye Jian. Even her breath was filled with his scent.
This kind of scene should be seductive but both of them had kept their thoughts. No matter how close they were, they wouldn’t be affected.
Ye Jian placed the hairdryer in the other sleeve. She turned her head and looked at him with a dark gaze. She pursed her lips slightly as she said, “When are you leaving?”
“In around ten minutes. There should be enough time to dry the shirt.” Xia Jinyuan deleted the message instantly after he finished reading it. The military unit had already bought his plane tickets. It wasn’t a flight to the capital city. He was going to a city that was closest to the borders of his country.
