Chapter 2122: You’re Already Too Late
“If she pa.s.ses the test this time around, there won’t be many problems with the school. If she doesn’t pa.s.s the test, I’m afraid she won’t be released. After all, the school doesn’t know what she’s training for.”
After Xia Jinyuan finished speaking, he pondered for a while before saying, “Actually, we can say that she’s training for the compet.i.tion. There are often students from the National Science University who partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion. She can be one of them too.
“I’ll call the major general later to ask about the situation. The major general should know Ye Jian’s results.”
When they talked about the army, Li Jinnian’s slightly suppressed mood lightened up. After a short rest, he stood up and straightened his military uniform. “Rest well. I’m going to the military for a meeting.”
Xia Jinyuan, who could tell that he had something on his mind, looked at him meaningfully and said with a faint smile, “You’re in a good mood so quickly? Are you sure you don’t need to chat with me again and let me enlighten you?”
“Talking about Ye Jian did make me feel better,” Li Jinnian replied calmly.
The words made Major Xia choke.
When he calmed down, Major Xia smiled and said, “Major Li, Ye Jian is my girlfriend. You’re already too late.”
“So what if she’s your girlfriend? She’s still my comrade.”
“Heh, she’s also my comrade. She’s both my girlfriend and my comrade.” Major Xia, who had made his ident.i.ty as her boyfriend clear, responded calmly to the sudden provocation. “You shouldn’t pry away your comrade’s girlfriend.”
…
He was indeed not interested in being immoral, but… Li Jinnian looked at his former opponent and his current comrade. He sneered. “Didn’t I tell you before? There’s something I find familiar about Ye Jian. Major Xia, let me check again. By then, it’ll be hard to say what our ident.i.ties are.”
Check?
Xia Jinyuan’s smile didn’t disappear, but his eyes were dark. He said in a low voice, “Demon King, Ye Jian’s situation is a little special now. What do you want to investigate?”
“The situation is a little special?” Li Jinnian, who was about to leave, sat on the bed again and asked coldly, “What happened? Could it be that what I want to investigate might affect her?”
His eyes suddenly turned cold as he said, “Or do you know what I’m investigating? Is someone else also investigating her?”
This time, Xia Jinyuan’s eyes turned cold. He stared at Li Jinnian and said coldly, “Demon King, why are you investigating Ye Jian?”
He was a major and a marine. What right did he have to investigate Ye Jian?!
“I’m looking into Ye Jian’s relations.h.i.+p with my family.” Since it concerned Ye Jian, Li Jinnian didn’t hide it anymore. “I want to know why I find her familiar.”
‘Little Fox’s relations.h.i.+p with the Li family?’
Xia Jinyuan didn’t expect to hear such a thing. Then, he couldn’t help but chuckle. “How could she be related to your Li family? Your Li family used to be warlords. Ye Jian’s family has been farming for three generations. What could she have to do with you?”
After learning that no one was investigating the same thing as him, the sharpness in Li Jinnian’s eyes gradually disappeared.
“That’s why I want to investigate,” he said calmly. “Otherwise, I’ll always wonder why I feel familiar with Ye Jian.”
It was not the familiarity between a man and a woman. At first glance, he felt that she was familiar, so much so that he misunderstood that he might like Ye Jian.
When he found out about Xia Jinyuan’s real relations.h.i.+p with Ye Jian, he wasn’t depressed, regretful, or jealous. Instead, he felt… relieved.
The two feelings puzzled him. He had to check.
Xia Jinyuan found it unbelievable. How was that possible?
