Chapter 1998: Difference
After waiting for about ten minutes, an SUV sped over.
The driver’s door was pushed open and a tall and cold figure got out of the car.
He was wearing a tailored white s.h.i.+rt and pants. It was obvious that he had come in a hurry and had not had time to tidy his hair. He must have combed it casually and with his fringe resting on his forehead, it made him look slightly lazy.
If she ignored his cold expression, seeing him so early in the morning was still pleasing to the eyes.
He strode over, his cold black eyes glancing at Bo Cixue and Chu Li.
The moment Chu Li saw him, her eyes filled with tears.
She looked extremely wronged.
Bo Cixue could not help but roll her eyes.
Turning her head, she found that Ye Jie’s gaze had landed on her again and he had probably caught her rolling her eyes.
He looked away very quickly and glanced at Chu Li. “You, come to my office.”
Chu Li followed him into the office, trembling.
Bo Cixue stood downstairs and looked at Ah You. “What does he mean? Why doesn’t he let me go up?”
Now that there was no one around, Ah You did not dare to treat Bo Cixue with the aura of an instructor. He took a few steps closer to her and said in a low voice, “His Highness will handle it fairly. Miss Bo, you don’t have to worry.”
Hehe, I would be a fool to believe you!
“Well, I’ll punish you this morning for the sake of fairness, Miss Bo. Please don’t hold it against me.”
“Instructor Ah You, do I look like someone who would hold a grudge?”
Ah You was speechless.
After about ten minutes, Chu Li ran out crying.
Ah You looked at Chu Li. “What did His Highness say?”
“I’ll run twenty laps as punishment.”
Ah You said, “Go quickly!”
Chu Li glared at Bo Cixue. “Don’t be smug. You were the one who hit me first, you’ll only get a harsher punishment than me.”
Bo Cixue touched her nose and went upstairs.
Standing outside Ye Jie’s office, Bo Cixue raised her hand and knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
A cold and authoritative voice sounded.
Bo Cixue took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
Ye Jie stood in front of the window with a cigarette between his fingers. After Bo Cixue entered, he turned around and looked at her with his dark eyes.
Bo Cixue lowered her eyes and stared at her toes. “I didn’t mean to break the rules here. I can’t take it anymore. I have no reason to hold back when it comes to dealing with b*tches…”
Realizing that she had scolded others, Bo Cixue quickly bit her lip.
Okay, she was too impulsive this time.
Hitting people in the training camp did affect the atmosphere.
Ye Jie went to the desk and put out the cigarette.
“Where did you get hurt?” He looked at her and said after a while.
Bo Cixue was ready to be scolded by him. She did not expect him to ask where she was injured.
She suddenly felt a lump in her throat.
“Aren’t you going to punish me?”
Looking at her aggrieved expression, Ye Jie pursed his lips tightly. “Tell me, why did you hit her?”
Bo Cixue thought that Chu Li must have told her why she hit him first, but she must have added fuel to the fire and pushed the blame to her.
Ye Jie listened to her explanation patiently, which showed that he was rather fair.
Bo Cixue told her about the emergency meeting in the morning.
“Don’t you think she deserved it? It’s fine that she hid my shoes, but she even deliberately damaged my pants.”
As she spoke, she noticed that the man’s dark eyes glanced at her pants.
Bo Cixue immediately crossed her arms in front of her, her expression slightly unnatural. “How do you want to punish me? Tell me directly, I can take it.”
He said nothing and took out a first-aid kit from the bottom drawer of his desk.
“Sit on the sofa.”
Bo Cixue was stunned and when she regained her senses, she sat on the sofa.
“Where are you injured?”
Bo Cixue looked at him in surprise. “Did you help to treat Chu Li’s injuries too?”
Ye Jie’s expression tensed. “Do I look like such a good person?”
Bo Cixue pursed her lips. “You’re really not such a good person.” Seeing him crouching in front of her, although his expression was cold, it was not too scary. She said, “I only sc.r.a.ped my knee a little. It’s not a big problem. I don’t need your help.”
He seemed to have not heard her and his long fingers rolled up her pants, disinfecting her injured knee.
Bo Cixue looked at the man’s cold and handsome facial features and her heart fluttered.
She hissed softly when he touched the wound with iodine.
He looked up at her, his eyes dark. “Does it hurt?”
Bo Cixue raised her eyebrows. “I’m fine. I didn’t even complain when I was bitten.”
Ye Jie looked at her with a strange gaze.
Bo Cixue felt slightly awkward when he looked at her like that.
Embarra.s.sed, her mind seemed to have short circuited and her words seemed irrelevant. “You can touch my waist but not my lips. Why?”
The moment she finished speaking, the atmosphere in the office turned cold.
There was no emotion on the man’s n.o.ble face, but his eyes turned cold.
He threw the cotton swab into the rubbish bin, took out the ointment, and handed it to Bo Cixue. “Apply it yourself.”
Bo Cixue was speechless. She hadn’t meant to expose his scars!
Bo Cixue applied the ointment on her knees and put down her pants, standing up from the sofa.
She glanced at the man who was standing by the window and smoking again. “Chu Li got twenty rounds as punishment. I’ll do twenty too.”
She walked toward the door.
“Stop there.”
Bo Cixue’s fingers on the door handle froze slightly.
Ye Jie raised his hand and pinched his nose bridge. He walked to Bo Cixue’s side. “Come with me.”
Bo Cixue did not know where he was taking her. Seeing that he was silent, she followed behind him like a primary school student who had made a mistake.
After Ye Jie informed Ah You, he took Bo Cixue through a small path to the instructors’ dormitory.
He walked very quickly. Bo Cixue’s knee was injured and it affected her walking a little. In order to catch up with him, she had to take big strides.
However, the ‘tragedy’ happened again.
The crotch area of her pants split open again.
She cursed Chu Li in her heart.
Ye Jie had already arrived at the dormitory. Seeing that no one was following him, he turned back to take a look.
Bo Cixue squatted in the yard, hugging her knees with both hands and her head lowered like a deflated balloon.
Ye Jie came up to Bo Cixue and looked down at her. “What’s wrong?”
Bo Cixue said, “Can you call Ah You over?”
“Call him over?”
“I…” Bo Cixue’s face turned red.” I want to borrow his jacket. ”
Ye Jie frowned and his well-defined handsome face darkened. “Why do you want to borrow his jacket?”
Sigh, did he have to get down to the bottom of it?
The man’s gaze that said, “If you don’t explain yourself clearly, I won’t call Ah You over.” Bo Cixue braced herself and said, “My pants broke again.”
She really wanted to slap Chu Li again!
Perhaps she could wait until the middle of the night to slit the back of her pants!
When Ye Jie heard Bo Cixue’s words, he frowned. “Why do you want to use Ah You’s jacket when your pants are torn?”
Bo Cixue’s lips moved. “Because you’re not wearing a jacket.”
Ye Jie stared at Bo Cixue for a few seconds. “What are you wearing?”
“I washed the t-s.h.i.+rt inside my jacket.”
The moment Bo Cixue finished speaking, the man reached out and picked her up.
Bo Cixue immediately pulled the hem of her jacket.
Her gaze moved around and she did not dare to look into Ye Jie’s eyes, but she accidentally glanced at his ear.
“Hey, your ears are red.”
Ye Jie said, “You’re seeing things.”
“Although my pants are torn, you can’t see anything. Don’t think too much.”
Ye Jie replied, “I’m not.”
Bo Cixue did not know if she was hallucinating, but she felt that he was gritting his teeth when he said those words.
Bo Cixue was a little embarra.s.sed at first, but seeing that he was indeed looking at the road ahead and looked like a gentleman, she felt a little indignant.
He had been too cold to her this week.
She suddenly had a bad thought and hugged his neck with both hands, her face leaning against his shoulder as she stared unblinkingly at his thin jaw and protruding Adam’s apple.
He poked her lightly with his fingertip.
“What are you doing?” He looked down at her.
“I’m not doing anything. I just thought that you had a split personality.”
His expression darkened slightly.
“You were nice to me one moment and cold to me the next.”
She smiled. “Fortunately, I don’t care much now.”
He stopped.
His dark eyes intertwined with hers. “You don’t care anymore?”
She hummed heavily.
With that said, he put her down.
“Hey, why are you so rough?” She almost lost her balance and fell. She seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly pulled at her jacket.
He took out his keys and opened the door.
Bo Cixue walked in.
After he entered, he called Ah You to bring a training uniform of Bo Cixue’s size over.
Bo Cixue sat down on the sofa, took a bolster and placed it on her lap.
After Ye Jie finished his call with Ah You, he answered several calls.
It was all about work.
Bo Cixue sat quietly by the side, watching him answer the phone and giving instructions to the person on the other end of the line.
She then realized that he was really considered gentle in front of her.
During work, he was serious and daunting.
After the call, he looked at her. “Ah You said you didn’t eat breakfast?”
Bo Cixue hummed. “I’m not really hungry.”
He said nothing and entered the kitchen.
Not too long later, Ah You brought a training uniform over.
He put it by the sofa and glanced at Bo Cixue. “I’ll leave first.”
Bo Cixue did not get up to send her off and hummed in agreement.
After Ah You left, Bo Cixue took her clothes and went to the room to change her pants.
When she came out, there was a bowl of noodles on the dining table.
“Come and eat.”
Bo Cixue sat at the dining table and looked at the man who was walking toward the living room. “Don’t I have military training today?”
“You don’t have to go.”
She did not need to go for military training and had noodles that he had cooked personally, but Chu Li had to run twenty laps as punishment. This difference in treatment made her lips curl up uncontrollably.
“Well, can I apply to use my phone today?”
“Hm?”
“I want to report to my best friends that I’m still alive.”
Ye Jie was about to say something when his phone vibrated. He answered the call and his expression changed.
