His physique was as slender as bamboo and as straight as pine. Not only did his gait contain unparalleled elegance, but also embodied a sword-like fierceness. This was Xia Jinyuan, an elegant but dangerous soldier.
Ye Jian slightly pursed her lips. She stood up and chased after him.
“Captain Xia, I promised to go to my cla.s.smate’s home tonight.” Ye Jian yelled at the figure that was about to disappear at the corner of the stairs. “I am going out now. My cla.s.smate must be waiting for me at home.”
The footsteps descending the stairs did not stop, so Ye Jian had to chase downstairs again.
She must go out tonight. An Jiaxin’s mother was a doctor! If the target needed help and stop the bleeding of his gunshot wound, he would definitely reach out to An Jiaxin’s mother, Auntie Zhou!
If Xia Jinyuan told the sentinels in the camp not to let her go out, she certainly would not find a way out.
The problem was that did she still have time to inform Auntie Zhou? It had been 16 minutes since she found the targets!
In one step, Ye Jian traversed four staircases. She quickly rushed from the third-floor dormitory to the first floor. She was fast, but not as fast as Xia Jinyuan, for she had heard his footsteps disappearing on the first floor.
It’s not that Xia Jinyuan did not hear her. It was just because he had heard her that he needed to arrange people to escort her. In order to save time, he did not stop to respond.
“Arrange a sentinel to escort Ye Jian to her cla.s.smate’s…” Before he could say the word ‘home’, he had heard the pounding of urgent footsteps from behind. The girl was rus.h.i.+ng so fast that she was not afraid of falling!
Before finis.h.i.+ng his command, Xia Jinyuan turned around and stepped forward, with a cold expression on his face. As he stood at the end of the staircase of the first floor and looked up, he saw a slender figure das.h.i.+ng towards him, like a fledgling heading recklessly into the forest.
Ye Jian, who was in a hurry, did not expect that he would suddenly appear. Responding quickly, she withdrew a step and held the handrails of the stairway steadily.
From her estimation, she figured she could halt her steps before b.u.mping against Xia Jinyuan.
However, as seen by Xia Jinyuan, she would definitely fall like a fledgling.
With both hands open, he automatically stepped up onto the stairs… Steady as a mountain, he held Ye Jian tightly in his arms.
On the other hand, the sentinel who had arrived interpreted the scene differently. The girl, reluctant to see the man go, chased after him. While the man, who was unwilling to leave as well, sensed her approaching and turned around, hugging the girl that was chasing after him.
It was a scene filled with complete romanticism.
…
Soon, Xia Jinyuan realized how unexpected his movements were. Retracting his hands calmly, he smiled at Ye Jian, who seemed to be scared. “Be careful next time. The way you ran just now make people worry that you might get into an accident.”
The little girl was really thin. She was so slim that he could encircle her waist with one arm.
Coldly, Ye Jian looked at the man who had stepped down calmly. Relieved, she exhaled deeply to prevent herself from gritting her teeth.
Looking at him, she said coldly, “I had stood firm. It was your misjudgment.”
In front of this girl, Xia Jinyuan always had a subtle feeling that he was awkward in speech.
The corners of his thin lips showed a hint of a resigned smile. But as he turned around and looked at the sentinel, his handsome face was cold and stern, as if he had never smiled.
The sentinel’s look was subtle. Xia Jinyuan glanced at him coldly and said in a deep voice, “What the h.e.l.l are you thinking about? Just escort her to her cla.s.smate’s home and be careful.”
The picture in the sentinel’s mind vanished. Saluting to Xia Jinyuan, he replied in a deep and determined voice, “Yes, sir!”
