3149 Mountains And Rivers
“Why aren’t you saying anything?”
His shoulder was hit by a ball of snow. The snowflakes splattered on his face and neck. The cold touch woke him up from his confusion. He looked at Z7, who was talking to him, in a daze.
“Say what? Oh, Azure Bird’s sword dance, right? It’s very beautiful. I like it.”
“There are many things we don’t know about her. Ask the captain where he is. Should we sit inside and wait? Or should we wait for Ye Jian to come out?”
T6 hadn’t completely woken up from his confusion. His words were incongruous, making his comrades confused.
“What’s wrong with you? Come, look around. Where are we now?” V8 placed his hands on Wu Yue’s shoulders and shook his body. “We’re all out to enjoy the north wind. Why else would we be here, waiting in the snow?”
Wu Yue finally came back to his senses. He straightened his soldier cap and said vaguely, “I hadn’t come back to my senses. I didn’t know that Ye Jian knew how to dance. I was shocked when I saw it. She was dancing for J5. I could feel it.”
After he finished speaking, the atmosphere instantly became oppressive. The air froze until it felt suffocating.
“When Ye Jian comes out later, let’s not mention it if we can. It’s too emotional. If we mention it slightly, she’ll probably cry in front of us. Who will coax her then?” G3 reminded everyone.
“Yes, I understand. If she cries, let the captain coax her. He has a way to coax her. Let’s just stay away if that happens.” Han Zheng turned around and looked at the venue. He smiled slightly and adjusted the atmosphere. “The captain hasn’t come out yet. He probably can’t bear to come out!”
“Let’s take a walk outside. He’ll contact us when he comes out.” G3, who had calmed down, took the first step. He had to walk. Although it was over, he still felt uncomfortable. When their comrade who was already far away was mentioned, his heart ached. But this was nothing!
He would endure it. He would endure it for a year and a half. When the pain in his heart subsided, he would have a chat with J5. He would bring out a glass of wine and a few packets of peanuts. At that time, he would have to change his way of interacting with him.
The snow-white street lamp shone on a few tall figures. The light elongated their shadows. They were as straight as swords and had an imposing aura.
Backstage, Wei Jiayue stared at the figure walking off the stage with surprise in her eyes.
Ye Jian?
Could it be the female soldier who saved her that year?
Wasn’t she an ordinary female soldier?
How did she become a military school student?
She could even perform a sword dance that made the leaders stand up and applaud. Even the female soldiers couldn’t take their eyes off her. They were stunned by her performance.
“She’s so beautiful. Why is she so beautiful? She’s like a person in a painting. She’s so beautiful. What should I do? I want to take a photo with her.”
“Can we learn her sword dance? If we can, we can perform it together!”
Hearing this, Wei Jiayue couldn’t help but say, “Learn? Even if we can learn her movements, can we learn her aura? Don’t even think about it. We can’t learn from her.”
“We’re going on stage next. Get ready. Don’t discuss it anymore.”
The emcees had already started talking about the next performance. It was the female soldiers’ turn to go on stage.
Ye Jian and Xu Wen walked toward their class. Along the way, they received countless gazes. If it wasn’t for the strict rules of the military school, the students would’ve stood up and chatted with Ye Jian.
Xia Jinyuan watched as the woman he loved walked from the bright stage to the darkness and then toward him. His hands on his knees tightened. He didn’t do anything else. He waited for his lover to recognize him.
He believed in her. Even if they were thousands of miles apart, she would be able to find him.
