2779 Times Spent Together



"Captain Xia, wait for me to grow up. When we're engaged, we'll improve our relationship, okay?" Ye Jian said softly, her voice filled with sorrow. "You've been waiting for me for so long, but I haven't given you everything. Will you blame me?"

The scenery was quiet and beautiful. There were mountains and rivers everywhere. Some words would come out naturally.

Xia Jinyuan laughed. "The best thing is for you to stay by my side. Don't think too much. There are some things that we need to do naturally. I'm very happy that you care about my feelings, but don't feel burdened. I only have impulses when I'm with you.

"Usually, I undergo high-intensity training. After the day ends, I'm so tired that my limbs seem to have separated from my torso. How could I have the extra energy to think about it?

"Of course, I'll still get a reaction in the mornings. That's all normal. I'll be a little rash occasionally, but I'll just run to the bathroom to solve it myself. I won't really hold it in."

This was a private topic between lovers. Although Ye Jian blushed when she heard this, she did not have the mindset of refusing to listen.

'I'll just listen. After all, it's something I have to know.'

The wind in the mountains was a little cold as if it was blowing past the snowy mountains in Tibet.

In the mountains of Cangchuan, it would indeed snow heavily during this season. However, Ye Jian and the others had not completely entered the mountains, so they did not see the snow. They could only feel a trace of coldness.

The golden and purple light around the clouds had gradually faded, signaling that the sky was getting darker and darker. Xia Jinyuan, who was enjoying the faint cold wind, calmed down the restlessness in his heart and remained silent. He only leaned against his own body to watch the last ray of light enter the sunset.

Night fell as scheduled.

Ye Jian knew that he had calmed down, and the blush on her face gradually dissipated.

Even without saying a word, she felt very happy.

"My cousin beat you up because his heart ached for me. Don't take it to heart." The last ray of light disappeared, and Ye Jian said softly, "Grandpa told me that he didn't have a comfortable life in the Li family. Otherwise, he wouldn't have run to the southernmost sea to join the army.

"With Old Master Li and my cousin's father's influence, my cousin could've stayed in the capital city or gone to a military unit with better conditions. However, he didn't. He didn't rely on his family like you. He relied on himself to get to where he is today.

"He wants to protect me and doesn't want me to be bullied. You… You happened to be caught by him. Don't blame him for making a move.

"He hit you, so you must have hit him too. You're even."

"The two of us were just sparring. We didn't use much strength." Xia Jinyuan gently pressed his handsome chin against the side of Ye Jian's head and chuckled. "You have to show your concern for Demon King Li later. I must have beaten him up in a few places."

He was 1.8 meters tall and about 20 cm taller than Ye Jian, who was 1.68 meters tall. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He hugged Ye Jian and even bent his back slightly when he spoke. From behind, he looked to be completely protecting her with his wings.

"In the past, although Demon King Li and I admired each other, we were very distant. It's probably because two tigers can't share one mountain. We'd always secretly want to compete.

"Now that I have you, I feel that Demon King Li has secretly given in to me. Several times during the training arrangements, he directly gave me all leadership."
