Chapter 1818: Definitely Cooperate
It seemed that if he wanted to sneak a few glances at her in the future, he might as well do it openly. If he was discovered, he could still smile and let the matter pa.s.s.
Qin Xiu, who always had a clear goal, started thinking about how to get along with Ye Jian.
“There’s indeed something. It’s about my ident.i.ty.” Since he had already met her here, he couldn’t let it become a wasted trip. Qin Xiu gestured to another corner so that they could continue speaking there. “I have some matters to deal with here. Originally, I came with another interpreter. When I arrived at the 30 Mile Camp and learned that the Nanguang Military District’s cultural troupe was coming, I followed them as a reporter.
“The cultural troupe still thinks that I’m a reporter, so I need your cooperation.”
Ye Jian had a serious look on her face. “I’ll definitely cooperate with you. I regret coming over to look for you now. Actually, I could’ve just pretended to not know you. It’d be more convenient for you to do things that way.”
Pretending not to know Qin Xiu would prevent Du Jiayi from keeping an eye on him.
Speaking of Du Jiayi, Ye Jian couldn’t help but purse her lips tightly. Qin Xiu also had a high status and often appeared on television. It was impossible that Du Jiayi didn’t know Qin Xiu.
“Are you sure that everyone in the cultural troupe thinks that you’re a reporter?” Ye Jian, who had worked with Princ.i.p.al Cao before, couldn’t help but ask.
Qin Xiu pointed at his windproof mask. The smile in his eyes was deep. Although one couldn’t see his handsome face clearly, one could tell from his elegant eyes that he was a handsome and elegant man. He chuckled. “If I hadn’t spoken first, would you have recognized me?
“I haven’t taken it off at all. It’s too cold. No one wants to get frostbite on their mouth.” Since everyone had their masks on as well, nothing seemed strange about it.
That was true. Ye Jian couldn’t help but smile. The reason why she directly confronted Du Jiayi was the same.
Du Jiayi stared at Ye Jian for a long time.
… She didn’t expect Ye Jian to know a reporter from the national news department! It seemed like she wasn’t simple. That’s right, only someone with a complicated family would dare to go against Du Jiayi.
Thinking of this, Du Jiayi’s eyes darkened even more. Based on Ye Jian’s speech, temperament, and standing posture, Du Jiayi was thinking about the possible family background that Ye Jian came from so that she could have a rough idea of what was going on.
The more she thought about it, the colder Du Jiayi’s eyes became. She felt that Ye Jian’s family background was not simple. No female soldier had such a strong aura like her!
No wonder she was so bold. It turned out that she had a powerful background.
Previously, she thought that she was trying to put on a strong front.
Now, it seemed like that wasn’t the case. It was because Ye Jian had the confidence and knew that nothing would happen to her even if she really got into trouble. It seemed as if she would be able to resolve whatever problem came her way. It was precisely because of this confidence and family background that Ye Jian dared to show off like this!
For a moment, Du Jiayi was annoyed at herself for being too careless.
“Go back to the tent and rest. Also, invite that female soldier from the army back to the tent.” The leader reminded her in a low voice. “Once the road is cleared, the soldiers will wake you guys up. If we can continue the journey, our plan will remain the same. Otherwise, we can only go back the way we came and wait until spring.”
Choosing to come to the northwest during the deep winter was not a wise decision. The journey was too dangerous and would cause more trouble for the various military depots.
How could Du Jiayi, who had specially come over to look for someone, agree to this? After pondering for a moment, she said, “Leader, I think we can continue with the journey. Think about it, regardless of how harsh the environment is, we’ve already experienced such a huge avalanche. We’re not even afraid of that. Isn’t this the kind of bravery and courage a soldier should have?
“I think the best way is to advance, not retreat..”
