Chapter 553
“Ye Jian, you can pass your uniform to me later. We’ll take care of it.” Xia Jinyuan smiled and then continued, “Don’t bring anything with blood into your room.”
It’s better to not let her bring the uniform back to her room. They would throw it away in the hotel.
This was a firearms battle so there was quite some blood on their bodies.
After they entered the lift, they placed their hands together. Ye Jian looked at the hands that were covered with patches of dried blood. Just like her, their hands were stained with their enemy’s blood. She was just like them, they were a bunch of soldiers fighting at the frontline. As they smiled, Ye Jian smiled along with them.
They placed their hands on top of each other to celebrate their safe return.
The leader and Major General Lu didn’t ask them to report back immediately. When Xia Jinyuan reported to them from Margalla Hills, they already told him to rest and take a good bath first before reporting to them.
Ye Jian looked into the mirror which reflected the figures around her. She saw the dirty uniform she was wearing and the sniper rifle she was carrying. She couldn’t help but touch the gun barrel.
It was a pity to return the gun. She still wanted to touch it.
The other members of the Xueyu unit didn’t miss her small actions. They looked at the face covered with dust and exchanged glances with one another quickly. Then, they looked at Xia Jinyuan.
Comrade, your little fox doesn’t want to return the gun. Hurry up and comfort her.
Xia Jinyuan looked down at Ye Jian. He said in a low voice, “The gun belongs to the Pakistan government. By right, we must return the gun to them. I’ll bring you to the military unit to find more guns after we go back.”
“I was thinking that I carried the gun for more than ten hours but only fired two shots. Yet, I was able to clear a path.” Ye Jian raised her head and looked at Xia Jinyuan with bright eyes. She said firmly, “I’ve overcome the obstacle.”
Two bullets to clear a safe path for her comrades. It was worth it even if her hands were stained with blood.
Xia Jinyuan and the other people smiled. They said, “Our lives and your life are on the same rope. Little A, we’re a team. We can do anything to make sure that our comrades survive. We will work together until we succeed.”
This relationship was even deeper than brotherhood. It was a pure relationship without any benefit.
They would fight for the safety of their comrades and leave the dangers to themselves. They would clear all the dangers in their path so that they could return safely together.
During their small celebration of their safe return just now, Ye Jian had overcome her obstacles.
She passed her helmet and rifle to Xia Jinyuan first. Then, she went back to her room and had a hot bath. She washed until she only smelt of soap. She stood in front of the mirror to make sure that her entire body was clean before coming out.
There were small wounds on her face caused by the brambles. The burn on her back was more serious. When she was bathing just now, it stung a little. The rest were all small injuries.
Ye Jian took eight minutes before she came out of the bathroom. She heard someone knocking on the door. It was Xia Jinyuan. He had finished bathing and had come to collect her military uniform.
When the door was opened, Ye Jian was stunned. She was in short sleeves and pants while he was wearing a military uniform. His handsome face exuded the aura of a soldier. As for her… she needed to change her clothes!
