Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It was already three in the morning when the two of them finally fell asleep. Xia Jinyuan was very tired from leading the troops. When he woke up, he realized that Ye Jian, who was supposed to be in his arms, wasn’t there.
The emptiness in his arms made him a little stunned. If not for the hot scratches on his shoulders, he would have thought that he had a wet dream last night.
There was still half an hour before eight o’clock. Ye Jian ran downstairs and went to the hotel’s breakfast hall to get some porridge, pickles, bread, and other foods. She pushed the door open gently. She didn’t intend to wake the tired man up.
Xia Jinyuan was the one who led the troops during the highlands and mountain training, Demon King Li was the one supporting him. The training was high-intensity and dangerous. As the most authoritative commander of the two teams, Xia Jinyuan was under a lot of pressure during that period.
It wasn’t easy for him to have a good sleep. Ye Jian didn’t have the heart to wake him up so early. She planned to wake him up at 7:50 a.m.
Fora soldier, ten minutes was more than enough time to wash up. That would not delay their work.
After putting the breakfast on the coffee table, Ye Jian, who was sweating from her morning run, took out a neatly hung winter uniform from the wardrobe. She entered the bathroom outside.
Xia Jinyuan, who was on the phone in the bedroom, had already noticed Ye Jian entering the room. He put on his clothes and said in a low voice, “Okay, I’ll leave in ten minutes. We’ll talk in detail when we meet.”
‘The major general of the army was the one who called. The major, who had not even gotten the time to rest, was assigned a mission.
Soldiers like them did not have any so-called rest time. They were always on standby no matter how many days there were in a year. Once they received a mission, they had to rush back immediately no matter where they were.
After ending the call with Major General Lu, Xia Jinyuan opened the bedroom door and walked out. As he listened to the sound of water running in the bathroom, the coldness on his handsome face disappeared and he revealed a gentle smile.
“Little Fox, I’m coming in.” The major knocked on the glass bathroom door and smiled. “Pull the curtain so that I can’t see.”
Hearing the knocks, Ye Jian covered her head. After hearing what he said, she immediately raised her hand and pulled the shower curtain. “Go to the other bathroom! I still need two minutes.”
“All my toiletries are here. Also, I received a call from the military just now. I need to leave in ten minutes. Time is a little tight.” Xia Jinyuan didn’t dare to barge in now. He didn’t want to get splashed by her. He needed to explain himself first.
Ye Jian knew that he needed to carry out a mission, so she didn’t waste any time and let him in immediately.
The sound of water running could be heard from behind the plain-colored waterproof curtain. The major, who was tall and straight, let out a soft sigh as he quickly washed up.
‘When he was done washing up, the sound of running water stopped. His gaze landed on the military uniform and towel placed on the clothes rack outside the shower area. The young major, who had a dark look in his eyes, took the towel and walked to the shower curtain that was only three steps away
from him. He said in a low voice, “I’l put your clothes on for you, okay?”
“W-Why do I need you to help me put on my clothes? I can do it myself! If I let you help me, I won’t be wearing anything at all.”
Ye Jian’s face started burning when she heard that. She started stuttering when she spoke. She was frightened.
After saying that, she realized that she was a little short of breath. She pulled a long face and said in a low voice, “Captain Xia, you can go out and have breakfast first. Il settle my own matters.”
