Chapter 3616: Burning
Editor: Henyee Translations
Just like Li Jinnian himself, even his silence was oppressive. Even if he just stood there silently, everyone knew that he was not someone to be trifled with.
He was the one who led the team overseas. The military made this arrangement after careful consideration.
Firstly, he was very young and wouldn’t stick to the rules.
Secondly, his calmness and steadiness could convince the students.
Thirdly, he was capable. Although he was young, he had a strong aura. No one dared to underestimate him.
Fourthly, since it was a competition between the students from the various military schools, it wasn’t appropriate to send an old soldier. It was better to send a young and capable soldier. It would be a good opportunity for the various countries to see what the young soldiers from China looked like.
After summarizing everything, the military decided to let Li Jinnian be the chief instructor and lead the team overseas for the competition. They believed that with his ability and the students’ own abilities, there would be no problems.
That was true. The students from the four military schools were very convinced by the young instructor. He would make decisions for them if anything happened. After his analysis, the 16 of them seemed to have calmed down.
The students from the Air Force Academy smiled and said, “Instructor Li, according to what you said, we’re all on equal footing, so there’s no need for us to be afraid of them, right?”
“You can let go of your fear. Everyone here is the same. There’s nothing to worry about. As for the difference in strength, it depends on whether you can defeat your opponents. Friendships… Forget them. Our priority is the competition.” Li Jinnian was leading the team, and he had never thought of placing friendship first. “I personally pay more attention to results. I fight with the intention of coming out as the top soldier. Otherwise, I see no point in participating in an international competition like this. If I participate, I have to win some awards and get a few rankings.
“Why do the Japanese and Korean students assume that they’ll definitely win right from the very start? It’s because they place the competition first too.”
“As I said just now, be more reserved. Although we’re here for the competition, we have to be more reserved. Don’t let others see through our background.”
He didn’t have any other requirements. He just wanted to get a good ranking!
The students were elated when they heard this. They silently focused their minds on getting a ranking. After getting a ranking, they would keep a low profile and go for the next round. Then, they would keep a low profile and get a ranking again. This cycle would continue until the competition ended!
Ye Jian saw that the students had relaxed and became even calmer. She secretly gave her cousin a thumbs-up.
She didn’t expect her cousin, who was so cold that no one dared to get close to him, to have such a friendly side. This was the first time she saw him like this.
She stood by the window sill. The window sill was half-closed, and a ray of sunlight landed on the ground. Ye Jian stepped on it, and the ray of sunlight landed on her face from the gap of the window sill. When she smiled, the bright sunlight seemed to follow her. The sun was bright, and her smile was as dazzling as a peach blossom. Li Jinnian unconsciously deepened his smile.
His cousin should always look so carefree. She should smile brightly and have an innocent look in her eyes. That gloominess and heaviness didn’t suit her.
Yes, he would let her smile for the time being. Soon, he would leave her unable to smile even if she wanted to.
Ye Jian, who was smiling, suddenly felt a chill on her back. She had a bad feeling that something big would happen soon.
After looking around, she didn’t notice anything. However, the deep smile on her cousin’s face stunned her.
