Chapter 740: Since You’re Injured, Be More Obedient
“Since you’re injured, be more obedient. Stop moving around. I might touch your arm accidentally.” Xia Jinyuan smiled as he raised his leg swiftly and evaded her actions. He called for a taxi and lowered his head close to her ears. He laughed softly and whispered, “Be obedient. Get in the car first. It’s already starting to rain.”
Once Autumn was over, the weather always changed suddenly. A few minutes ago, the sun hung high in the sky but now, dark clouds were flying in from all directions. The entire provincial city was covered with them. Lightning and thunder weren’t seen or heard but raindrops were already starting to fall.
He leaned closed to her ears even when he was talking to her. Ye Jian could feel the warmth of his lips sliding past her ears. She also knew that he was teasing her.
Ye Jian was angry and speechless. Why did she meet such a dangerous man? He was as cold, elegant, and indifferent as a sword when they first met. Why was he so different in private?
Ye Jian’s fingertips were trembling. However, she was a person who gets braver if she received more setbacks. When she was forced into a corner, she would definitely retaliate! She gritted her teeth and said, “I can walk and ride a car myself. Captain Xia does not have to take care of me so thoroughly.”
“I need to take care of you carefully. If not, my future girlfriend will have opinions against me.” Xia Jinyuan opened the car door and let her get in first. Then, he got into the car and gave the taxi driver an address. After that, he sat obediently in the car and didn’t tease Ye Jian anymore.
In front of other people, Xia Jinyuan wouldn’t forget to act like a soldier.
The taxi driver glanced at the male and female in the back seat. He kept looking at them. Suddenly, he sighed. “Little fellow, do soldiers like you find it hard to get a girlfriend?”
“One of my nephews is a soldier too. He’s almost 26 years old but he hasn’t found a girlfriend yet. Our entire family is worried about him. We are afraid that he might really become a single man.”
No wonder they could chat so well. He was a family member of a soldier. Xia Jinyuan maintained his politeness and smiled, “Sometimes, the military unit will organize a ma.s.sive blind date for their soldiers. The leaders in the military are also worried about their men’s future.”
“Huh? There’s really such a thing? My nephew also said that but we thought that he was just comforting us. That’s good, that’s good. If he sees one he likes, he can bring her back.” The taxi driver got excited by the conversation. He looked at the female soldier who didn’t make any sound but was smiling. He said happily, “Your girlfriend is not bad. She looks good and she’s a soldier just like you. You have a common topic with her.”
…
Ye Jian swallowed her saliva unnaturally. How did the taxi driver see that she was his girlfriend?
“We knew each other through the blind date too. Hence, you don’t have to worry. Your nephew will definitely find a girlfriend. He might be able to bring a girlfriend back for the new year.” Major Xia felt that the taxi driver had good eyesight. He was able to see through his relations.h.i.+p with Little Fox with one look. Xia Jinyuan was in a good mood so he started chatting with the driver.
Ye Jian touched her forehead. After some time, he reminded the taxi driver implicitly, “The rain is getting heavier. Be careful when you drive.” Then, she said to Xia Jinyuan, “Stop talking to him. It’s easy to get distracted when you talk while driving.”
“Not bad, you take care of him well. Right, I need to drive carefully on a rainy day. We’ll stop talking.” The taxi driver laughed. In the heavy rain, the car moved forward stably.
Xia Jinyuan leaned over and said to Ye Jian, “Commander Xia felt rea.s.sured when I’m with you because you don’t seem like an underage young lady. You feel like an adult female soldier.”
