3124 Fright
Normally, they would joke around in private and say harmless jokes to adjust to their military school life. However, this time, Xu Wen, who never took the initiative to care about others, sensed that something was wrong.
He Jing was meticulous. That night, when Ye Jian returned to the dormitory, she only took a coat. She didn’t even have time to talk to them before leaving in a hurry. Four days later, when she came back, she had lost more than half of her weight. Her face was so thin that her features were sharper. Her dark eyes were bigger as well. When she spoke to them, there was a hint of sorrow in her eyes. He Jing knew that Ye Jian had something on her mind.
He Jing and Xu Wen were not the only ones who knew about this.
Ye Jian was different from them. No, it should be said that she was different from her classmates. When she was training, there was a killing intent on her. Even the company instructor said that the killing intent occasionally emitted from her made it seem as though she had been on the battlefield and killed people. Even he was a little afraid.
The company commander had said something similar.
Especially during the exercise in the first half of the year, Ye Jian’s performance far exceeded that of an ordinary first-year military school student. Her combat plan was very mature, and every step she took was strategic. If it wasn’t for the fact that the rest of her classmates were too weak, the third-year seniors wouldn’t have any chance of winning.
Ye Jian was different from them. Ye Jian, who was different from them, would disappear from time to time. The places she went to could explain why she was different from all her classmates.
“Don’t go out and say anything. It’s fine as long as we understand,” He Jing said to Xu Wen in a low voice. “Keep an eye on her for the next few days. If there’s anything, we’ll help. Do you understand?”
“Okay, okay, okay. I understand.” Xu Wen nodded lightly. Ye Jian came out of the bathroom at this moment. Xu Wen pretended to tidy up the blanket and didn’t dare to look at Ye Jian.
Eight days had passed since J5’s death. Ye Jian gradually walked out of her sorrow. She remembered Commander Xia’s words deeply. She had to learn to face and accept the sacrifice of her closest comrades.
Because there might be more sacrifices in the future.
New Year’s had arrived. They had a day off from school. After Ye Jian finished her breakfast, she received a message from a soldier responsible for guarding the gate. He said that a girl called An Jiaxin was looking for her.
Ye Jian, who wanted to go to the laboratory, ran over. She saw An Jiaxin, who she hadn’t seen for a long time. She was wearing a dark blue down jacket and a pair of white fur earmuffs. She was holding her hands while standing in the snow to warm herself.
Seeing Ye Jian coming out, An Jiaxin hugged Ye Jian and cried without saying a word. This scene was a little abnormal.
After registering with her student ID card, she wrote down her school address and home address. The gate officer checked Ye Jian’s student ID card before letting An Jiaxin into the school.
An Jiaxin, who had already cried, rubbed her red nose and buried her head in her down jacket cap. She said in a choked voice, “Jian, Wu Yue called me a few days ago. He said that some of his comrades died in their team. He has to take revenge. If he’s lucky enough to come back alive, he’ll come and look for me immediately. Whether I agree or not, he’ll kidnap me and make me his girlfriend.
“I was revising at that time. I thought that he was teasing me, so I didn’t take it to heart. In the end, yesterday… Yesterday, I received a letter from him. Look… Look…”
She took out a crumpled letter from her pocket. When she took it out, she started crying again. “This is his will… I received his will.”
