Chapter 945: I’m Fortunate To Have You
Captain Xia was really concerned about her in all aspects. He was even worried about her psychological development. This kind of man… she had never met this kind of man before but she knew that she met a good and outstanding man.
The night went by silently as they walked back to their car.
In Autumn, the sky started to lit up at around 5 am. Xia Jinyuan took out the medical kit in the car. Ye Jian had already taken off her outerwear. She was sitting on the gra.s.s with a short-sleeved s.h.i.+rt.
The knife wound was quite deep but it didn’t reach her muscles. However, since they didn’t bandage it immediately, the area around the wound had swollen.
Xia Jinyuan knew how to disinfect and clean the wound. After disinfecting it and stopping the blood, he sprinkled some anti-inflammatory powder on it before wrapping the gauze around her arm. A new wound of glory was added to Ye Jian’s arm.
“The wound is not too deep. No wonder you can bear with it.” Xia Jinyuan didn’t ask her if the wound hurt. There was no need to ask. It definitely hurt but as compared to staying alive, this pain meant nothing.
He had seen worse injuries. Thus, when he saw the injury on Ye Jian’s body, even though the one who was hurt was his little fox, he didn’t feel that he needed to hug or coax her.
As a soldier, you must be able to tolerate pain and injuries. If you cried all the time, you were considered a coward in the military.
Ye Jian picked up the bloodstained jacket. She felt pity as she said, “It’s brand new. I can’t wear it anymore!”
“Camouflage uniforms don’t have this problem. If they get stained with blood, we just need to soak it overnight in powder detergent and water and rub it a few times the next morning.” Xia Jinyuan lowered his head and looked at the patches of dirt on his body. He raised his eyebrows and said, “I can’t wear my s.h.i.+rt anymore too.”
Their faces were all covered with blood. Xia Jinyuan took the car keys he hid on a tree and smiled as he said to Ye Jian who was hugging her jacket and feeling pity for it, “Let’s find a place with water to wash our faces and hands.”
“You’re not going to find G3 immediately?” Ye Jian didn’t throw the jacket away. She carried it into the car. “G3 is still at the hospital. Do you want to contact him first?”
The car engine started and the headlight was turned on. The car drove on the mountain road where a thin mist was forming. Xia Jinyuan’s calm laughter could be heard in the car. “There’s no need for that. He will return to the hotel automatically.”
The entire night of action caused her bones to feel sore and painful. Standing in the creek in the mountain, Ye Jian plucked some aquatic plants she couldn’t recognize to clean the blood on her hands and in between her fingernails.
A slender pair of hands that were stained with blood appeared in front of her and held her hands. Xia Jinyuan used the gra.s.s he crushed to rub her hands gently. “You can wash the blood now but there will be more and more blood on your hands in the future. Sometimes, you can even smell the stench of blood on your hands.”
“I always thought that I might not be able to hold the hands of a girl because I have a pair of hands that smelled like blood.” Sometimes, when he saw the blood on his hands, his fingers would tremble too. Now, he was holding a pair of hands that were stained with blood too. Xia Jinyuan’s heart turned soft.
The girl beside him had the same pair of hands as his. She wasn’t afraid and she never shrunk back. Instead, she faced her difficulties with courage and would even help him when he was in danger.
Just like what G3 said, they were fortunate if they were able to find a girl that accepted them.
And, he really found a girl that was willing to accept his profession. He was extremely fortunate!
Ye Jian frowned slightly. She couldn’t understand what he meant. She teased him, “Why? Did you think of holding another girl’s hand in the past?”
