Chapter 478
“Don’t let your abilities go to ruin just because your emotions were exposed. Especially when you’re executing missions. There should only be vigilance in your eyes and no one else! Ye Jian, do you understand?” They were the harshest words that Xia Jinyuan had ever said to her ever since they’ve known each other.
The ambiguity and the teasing all disappeared from her mind. All that was left was the calmness before executing the mission, and a focus that would not be disrupted by anyone.
While standing straight and acknowledging that, Ye Jian could feel her a thin layer of sweat coming out of her back.
She couldn’t see through the man in front of him. He was like a spring breeze in one moment, and a cold wind in the next. She was still immersed in his cold voice and yet, he had already concealed his coldness and revealed an intoxicating warm smile.
“Alright, now you can relax. I believe that with your intelligence, you will remember what I’ve said and change.” He grinned and handed over the glass of cold water again. “Here, drink up. It’s cold. It’ll freshen you up.”
Ye Jian’s deep and dark eyes could not understand him completely. After receiving the glass of water, she took a sip… It was really refreshing, her brain woke up a lot.
Xia Jinyuan was a mysterious man. There was too much for her to learn from him. It was all thanks to his prompt reminder that she understood that no matter who it was, she needed to maintain a certain distance in public and not let her emotions be wavered by others.
He was her mentor and could also be considered as her good friend. It was fortunate that she could have such a companion on her path to growing up.
“The plane will take off at four-thirty. You will need to rush to the airport with me and get ready in advance.” Xia Jinyuan was satisfied with Ye Jian’s attitude. After being stunned by him, she didn’t choose to escape, but to accept and recognize her flaws and the truth.
She knew how to separate work from personal matters. When it came to work, he would be strict on her and would never let it affect her private matters.
Someone like that was also someone who could clearly distinguish between kindness and hatred. He was not afraid that his harshness would be met with her keeping a distance from him.
Battles emboldened her. Why would she escape from him?
As he watched her sip the cold water, he elegantly drew out a cold metal object from his side pocket – a QSZ92 9mm semi-automatic pistol that could fit in a briefcase.
“This pistol is from the armory. It’s a brand new pistol that has never been used. It’s suitable for you.” He placed the pistol on the table and pushed it in front of her. “A total of thirty-five rounds in the two spare magazines and also the magazine in the pistol. If no shots are fired, all thirty-five bullets will have to be turned over to the armory.”
Ye Jian picked up the pistol and held on to the pistol grip. She then released the magazine and the magazine fell onto her left palm. She then checked its contents and reloaded the magazine after she had counted the fifteen rounds.
She then cocked the gun handsomely and aimed at a moth that was outside the conference room through the crosshairs.
“No problems.” Withdrawing her pistol, Ye Jian’s calm eyes looked at Xia Jinyuan and grinned, “We can set off now.”
“Of course.” Facing a little fox who was very indifferent to him, Xia Jinyuan was not in a hurry. He left the conference room first. While walking, he spoke, “You will need to change your clothes. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has prepared a new set of school uniform for you.”
A new set of school uniform?
She took the bag that he had taken out from the locker and glanced at him, before going into the dressing room to change.
It was a western-style uniform. The bottom was a navy blue skirt with dark red plaids while the top was a white blouse and a navy blue jacket with gray edges. She also donned a pair of black leather shoes and white lace socks…
Ye Jian instantly felt the urge to return to the restroom and change back into Provincial No.1 Middle School’s school uniform.
This school uniform… felt a little strange on her.
Xia Jinyuan, who was waiting outside, saw that she was pulling her skirt uncomfortably and his Adam’s apple slid up and down involuntarily.
The little fox’s school uniform had made his blood flow restlessly.
His thin lips puckered slightly as he contacted the logistics department through his earpiece.
“Let’s change a new set.” Her legs were too long. It was supposed to be a knee-length plaid skirt, but it became a short skirt and an extremely short one! Her straight and slender legs, coupled with her fair and delicate skin, blurred Xia Jinyuan’s eyes.
As soon as Ye Jian heard that, she heaved a sigh of relief, “Let’s have pants, this skirt is too short! I’m afraid it’ll be obscene when I bend over.”
“Mmm, trousers.” Xia Jinyuan also thought that trousers were a good idea!
Soon, a pair of trousers of the same design was sent over. At that time, they were considering between skirt and trousers. They thought that a skirt would be more suitable for a girl, but they were afraid that it wouldn’t be appropriate. That was why they brought both the skirt and trousers over together.
Fortunately, there was a pair of pants!
After changing into the trousers, Ye Jian immediately felt comfortable. She then swept her foot across the dressing room. Not bad, the trousers are elastic!
When she came out again, Xia Jinyuan felt that his little fox was… gorgeous. Her long legs, slim waist, and her ponytail revealed an alluring look.
“It’s not early, the car is waiting for us.” Xia Jinyuan cleared his throat and concealed his gaze and hid her charm in his heart.
The office building in the military area was dead silent, whether it was day or night. There were no soldiers in military uniforms around and Ye Jian could only feel an overwhelming and solemn atmosphere in the building.
After walking out of the office building, Xia Jinyuan took a briefcase from a soldier and thanked him slightly before rushing to the airport with Ye Jian. In one night, she had already went to and fro the airport.
“We will reach the airport in an hour. You can take a break now. I will wake you up when we’re there.” Xia Jinyuan sat in the back seat and every move of his was reflective of a soldier’s code of conduct. He no longer teased Ye Jian with his words or actions.
This was the time when Ye Jian would accumulate her experiences. He would never let her focus solely on him. The only personal time he had with her was when he fetched her from the sentry post to the office building.
Once it was over, they had to conceal everything and direct all their attention to the mission.
