Chapter 900: A Country Can’t Exist Without Defense, The Civilians Won’t Feel Safe Without Soldiers
Xia Jinyuan spoke to Ye Jian in a calm tone so that she could remain composed. In the face of her questions, the corners of his lips lifted at a slight angle and he smiled as he replied, “You don’t have to worry about the weapons. Hou Zi has a hobby of collecting guns. He definitely has all the top-tier guns. We have weapons here. After we go overseas, we will have other means of getting weapons.”
“We will decide whether we should save K7 at 3 pm this afternoon. The four of us might seem like scattered sands but we kept close contact with each other. For instance, if G3 doesn’t contact me, it means that K7 didn’t contact him.”
If one person didn’t contact the other, this meant that everyone couldn’t contact one another. No one wanted their comrades to sacrifice. No one wanted their comrades to worry about them either. Hence, everyone would think of ways to contact their comrades to make them feel at ease.
This contact method was simple and to the point. Everyone abides by this simple and straightforward contact method. It had become a habit of them. They would report their status to their comrades anytime and they would never forget to do it.
“Now, we should quickly get rid of the ‘snakes’ that you lured to the Southern Province. Then, you can go back quickly to look for K7.” Ye Jian summarized everything in one sentence. The last sentence was the most important one.
They were comrades who vowed to one another that they would live and die together and never give up. It was their oath of life and death. It had been etched deep inside their heart. They would remember it forever.
With G3 around, they could take care of each other when they go back to the battlefield… She felt more at ease in her heart.
Ye Jian glanced at the wardrobe. He couldn’t wear the military attire that she brought back for him. Her eyes turned teary.
She turned her head. Tears were s.h.i.+mmering at the corners of her eyes. “That military attire… I will keep it and wait for you to come back… to wear them again!”
She was sad. It wasn’t the kind of sorrow that made her cry loudly. It was a deeper kind of sorrow that she held back in her heart and made her heart shudder. She was feeling sad because of his ident.i.ty. Xia Jinyuan smiled lightly. He used his right hand to pull her into his arms. He comforted her slowly with his warm and big palm as he rubbed her arms gently. “Silly Little Fox, it will be over very soon. There will not be any problems.”
“You must believe us. You must believe our country and believe that we will never give up on ourselves. Our country will not give up on us too. A country can’t exist without defense. The civilians won’t feel safe without soldiers. We are the defense and the soldiers. No one will forsake us.”
As usual, his hug made her feel at ease. The faint smell of mint entered her body slowly. He was comforting her with his aura too so that she could calm down.
The tears didn’t fall from her eyes. Ye Jian forced that back and looked up at him with a resolute gaze. “I have always believed in you. I will take care of your military uniform. I just want to take care of it for you because I was the one who brought it back from the airport and cleaned it! I’m the only one that can take care of it.”
Her sincerity made Xia Jinyuan’s heart pound. At first, he just wanted to console her but now, he wanted to love her.
She was telling him that she would wait for him to come back and wait for him to personally take back his military uniform from her hands. She wanted to see him personally to know that he was safe and not hear his news through other channels.
Xia Jinyuan hugged her tightly in his arms. He only used his right arm but he was already able to hide her under his wings. He used the strength of his hug to express his emotions. “Okay. I will hand it over to you, my current comrade and future girlfriend.”
