Chapter 1985 See If You’ve Regressed
“This time, I asked Sun Yaozu some questions and found some clues on my own. I won’t be as impulsive as I was a few days ago.” Because the other party was very powerful, she would end up harming herself if she continued to be so impulsive.
It had not been easy for her to get to where she was today. How could she harm herself out of impulse?
She put down the oddly-shaped dumpling. She knew that she was wrong. She finally looked up and dared to meet Princ.i.p.al Chen’s eyes. “Uncle Chen, what else did Commissioner Cai say to you? Tell me.”
The canteen was very lively. Company Commander Deng even got the soldiers to move the big TV that they usually only used to watch news broadcasts into the canteen. They placed it on two stacked steel tables. The festive songs on the TV added to the atmosphere of the canteen.
Princ.i.p.al Chen looked around and took a towel to wipe the flour off his hands. He said to Ye Jian, “Girl, let’s go out for a walk.”
It was snowing outside again. They walked out of the canteen and went along the cement road toward the field. The light in front was bright, but behind them, it was dark. It was like Ye Jian’s life. She was walking out of the darkness and heading toward the light.
The thin layer of snow left behind a trail of footprints that extended all the way to the field. Princ.i.p.al Chen pointed at the obstacles that were usually used for physical training. “It’s been a long time since I last saw you do a 400-meter obstacle course. Compete with
me.”
“No, your body has just recovered. You can’t train so hard.” Ye Jian rejected him without thinking. “Just let me do it.”

“It’s not easy to sit on the throne of a world-cla.s.s sniper. Ye Jian, don’t look down on me.” It was useless for her to reject him. Princ.i.p.al Chen took off his belt and put it aside carefully. He challenged Ye Jian, “Come, little girl. Show me your ability.”
The 400-meter obstacle course had to be started with a 100-meter run. After Princ.i.p.al Chen finished speaking, Ye Jian was like an arrow that had left the bowstring and was shooting out several meters.
She wanted to persuade him, but her reaction was faster than her brain. A few seconds later, she had rushed out a few meters. She took five steps back to Princ.i.p.al Chen.
“Girl, your strength wouldn’t be limited to this, right?”
As they went past each other, Ye Jian heard Princ.i.p.al Chen teasing her. She couldn’t help but reply teasingly, “I have to save some dignity for you.”
“Hahaha, what high-sounding sentiments. Let’s see who’s the one who has to be sparing the other’s dignity.” Princ.i.p.al Chen, who had just suffered from a serious illness and lost a lot of weight, didn’t become dispirited because of this. Having been a soldier for more than ten years, he had the strength to even risk his life. He leaped over the deep pit, rose into the air, and jumped over the short wall.
The field in the military unit was the place that could stimulate the soldiers’ fighting spirit the most. When Ye Jian saw this, her eyes turned cold. Unwilling to admit that she was weak, she rushed up the platform. In the blink of an eye, she spread her arms and jumped down the platform like a hawk.
“Not bad! You’re quite strong.” Princ.i.p.al Chen jumped onto the high wall and smiled at Ye Jian, who was already beside him. “Not even half of the soldiers can go over. Good luck, girl.”
Ye Jian climbed up the high wall and crawled through the low net. She was much faster than Princ.i.p.al Chen. She supported herself with one elbow and bent her knee slightly. She tried her best to stick her body close to the snow-covered ground. She was extremely agile.
Once her feet were out of the net, she quickly climbed up and returned to the low pile net. This time, she had to jump over the low pile net.
