His gift was three thick books. Ye Jian smiled when she took the gift. ” Poor things, it’s almost burnt. Captain Xia, thank you. I like it.”
There was nothing more precious than books. Also, it was the kind of books she liked. They were military books.
“That’s good. Read them properly. I’ll send you military books once in a while.” As for the books in the library, you can look for famous generals and famous books.” Xia Jinyuan had already started the engine. He turned on the air conditioner. The air inside the car started getting cooler instantly. “If you want to know more about famous generals, you can read up on the famous general during the second world war, Montgomery. He was a general who liked to make bets with his officers. He won a US bomber aircraft and all the engineers and soldiers that came along with it.”
“The Battle of El Alamein was the turning point of the war in North Africa. It was known as ‘The Desert Rat’. He was a general who would cry for his soldiers who fought hard and gave their lives to their countries.”
“Also, he is very similar to you. He didn’t have a mother when he was young but it didn’t prevent him from becoming a renowned general!”
Ye Jian was engrossed in what he said. She remembered everything and nodded. “I’ll definitely look for books on this general in the library.”
“If you can’t find any, I can send them to you.” The warm air in the car was gone. Xia Jinyuan noticed that another ten minutes had passed. He had to leave even if he didn’t want to. “Go back to school. I need to leave.”
He was a decisive person. After he finished speaking, he got into the car. He told Ye Jian, “I have three days of leave. Arrange something in the evening. See you.”
Then, he lifted the handbrake and stepped on the accelerator and left without waiting for Ye Jian’s reply.
He didn’t tell Ye Jian why he wanted her to read about General Montgomery. He married late. He only met his wife when he was 38 years old and got married at 40 years old. He also said that as a soldier, he was loyal to his country. As a man, he wouldn’t betray his love.
Churchill got touched by his words and saluted this general.
He will leave Ye Jian to understand all these when she read the book.
The car left, leaving behind the smell of petrol. Ye Jian had a sensitive nose so she waved her hands in front of her face as she watched the car disappear from her sight. She turned and walked into the school.
“Excuse me, are you from Provincial No.1 Middle School?” A polite voice was heard behind her.
Ye Jian turned. She saw a man with refined features behind her. Even his gaze seemed to be telling her that this man was a scholar. Ye Jian narrowed her eyes slightly as she went through her memories. She immediately recognized this man as the man outside the breakfast restaurant this morning.
That time, she was thinking that his man was like a poem. Wherever he stood, the scene would turn beautiful.
“Yes. What can I help you with?” Ye Jian smiled as she replied, “I’ll try my best to help you.”
The man instantly smiled. He seemed to be sighing in relief. “I’m very sorry. I need you to guide me. I want to find Principal Cao but my sense of direction is bad. I was inside the school but after walking one round, I came out.”
Ye Jian wanted to laugh but she knew that it was impolite to laugh in front of another person. “I can bring you over. However, please register with the guards and make a call to confirm first.”
