Chapter 835 - A Hard To Resist Gentleness
“That is indeed possible. All the more I can’t bring you over.” Ye Jian lifted her arm and wanted to loosen their hands, which were still tightly clasped together. She stood under the faint light that made her figure seem a little misty and smiled with a gentle expression. “Can you release my hand? I need to return to the hotel.”
Xia Jinyuan squinted slightly with his deep gaze. However, he didn’t release her hand. Instead, he held it tightly. His sexy and thin lips moved up at a slight angle.
He laughed in a low tone. “We can’t stay together tonight but I think that you won’t mind me sending you to the entrance of the hotel, right? As a gentleman, I can’t let a lady walk alone in the middle of the night.”
Since he already put things this way, there was no way she could reject him.
“If I reject the offer of a gentleman, I will seem very rude. In that case, I will have to trouble Captain Xia.” It was hard for her to reject him even if she wanted to. She didn’t know when he came back to the Southern Province. He went to look for her at her school at night… Could it be that he went to her school the moment he got off the plane?
The light from the streetlamp was a little dim but when Ye Jian looked up, she could still see the tiredness in his expression. He was tired but he still came to her school to look for her. No matter how cold her heart was, a part of it still melted.
Xia Jinyuan was indeed tired. The mission this time was a decapitation strike. After the members of the Xueyu unit completed their mission, they didn’t even return to their base. They split into four batches and returned to China immediately and removed all traces of them going overseas.
This was because the identity of their target this time was very special. He was very famous internationally but his crimes had started infiltrating into China’s territory. It was starting to affect the stability of China’s border so they needed to act.
Xia Jinyuan hadn’t slept for many days so after sending Ye Jian to the entrance of the hotel, he released her hand voluntarily and said, “I might come and look for you at around 11 am tomorrow. I need to replenish my sleep. Maybe you can come over and look for me instead. Just take my room card directly from the front desk.”
He was too tired. If he didn’t rest properly, problems might start occurring to the different parts of his body as he had been under stress for a long period of time. He really wanted to spend time with her but he needed to make sure that he had a healthy body first.
“Have a good rest. We can talk tomorrow.” Ye Jian felt her heart hurting slightly when she noticed that his voice was a little hoarse. She looked at him with concern in her eyes. “See you tomorrow, Captain Xia.”
She waved at him and walked into the hotel with big and hurried steps. The faster she entered the hotel, the earlier he would leave to get some rest.
She walked so quickly that Xia Jinyuan’s gaze turned gentle, so gentle that it looked as if there were ripples inside. It was a kind of happiness to be able to get looked at by this gentle gaze.
The lobby of the hotel was brightly lit up. He saw a few people who looked like students walking over when Ye Jian appeared inside the hotel. That was when Xia Jinyuan lifted his feet and left. Just like what she said, he wasn’t able to mingle with a bunch of students.
He wondered how Little Fox interacted with them. They seemed very harmonious. Even though there was still a distance between them, she didn’t seem lonely like she did when she was outside.
It has been more than three years. Little Fox is getting more and more mature. She is getting better at interacting with other people too. He felt very relieved… very relieved.
In the past, he told Uncle Chen that Ye Jian had a strong dislike towards the opposite sex. If she brought her dislike with her into the army, everything might seem fine on the surface but it would affect her overall performance in the military unit.
