Chapter 997: I’ll Come Later
It took them ten days from the time they stepped on this journey to the day they went back to their country. As for Ye Jian, she took eleven days before she returned to the Southern Province. After completing the mission, she signed the confidentiality agreement before returning.
She didn’t sit on a pa.s.senger plane. Instead, she got on a transport plane.
Major Xia sent her off. He pursed his lips a little as he said, “Are you sure that you want to rush back to your school this afternoon? Are you going to drive back to school after landing in the airbase in the Southern Province?”
“Yes. I haven’t been to school for many days. If I don’t go back and report, I’m worried that the school will expel me.” Ye Jian looked at Xia Jinyuan curiously. “I have to go back to school. Are there any problems?”
Xia Jinyuan revealed a helpless smile on his handsome and elegant face as he looked at her. “Why is it a Wednesday today? If it’s Sat.u.r.day or Sunday, you could rest for a day before rus.h.i.+ng back to school.”
They were able to rest today but his little fox still had to travel… It was too tiring.
“Maybe you can have a good rest tonight and report to school tomorrow. There’s no need to rush back to school today. It’s the same if you go tomorrow.” Xia Jinyuan directly asked Ye Jian to skip school today to have a good rest.
Ye Jian touched her forehead. Her boyfriend was asking her to skip school. She sighed and said, “Captain Xia, you said that my main mission now is to study properly and not think excessively of other things. Now, I just want to study and not waste time on other unimportant things.”
“How many days of school have I skipped? Eleven days! If I don’t report back to school, I’m afraid that I will get expelled.”
…
Getting expelled was indeed a little serious!
Xia Jinyuan remained silent for a moment. He gave a long sigh. “Your studies are still the most important thing. When you reach the Southern Province, give me a call…” Before he finished his sentence, he stopped. He couldn’t use the phone for half a month. He was still under probation.
The transport plane was already on the runway. When Ye Jian spoke, the powerful wind caused by the turbines could be heard clearly.
Xia Jinyuan couldn’t hear what she said clearly so he asked her again. She replied with a smile and a wave of her hand. Then, she ran towards the plane without turning back. As the hatch door closed, Xia Jinyuan could only watch Ye Jian as she left his vision slowly.
Ye Jian said that she would wait for him to go back and wear his military attire.
She still remembered this matter. She would wait for him to come back to the Southern Province and take his military attire from her personally.
Ye Jian rested for a few hours on the transport plane. She didn’t waste any time. After leaving the military airbase, she drove the car she borrowed from Hou Zi and headed towards the provincial city.
At 5 pm, Provincial No.1 Middle School had already ended a day of lessons. The school bell rang and the entire campus got lively.
Ye Jian was dressed lightly. She took her student identification card and walked towards her dormitory. The guard sized her up many times.
It was November but she was still wearing a short sleeve. When she walked into the campus, many people turned to look at her.
Additionally, many people recognized her in school. When they saw that she was only wearing a short sleeve, the first question everyone asked was, “Where did you go? Why are you still wearing a short sleeve? Aren’t you cold?”
She didn’t have any clothes to wear… She could only wear the training suit she wore when she entered the jungle with Xia Jinyuan that night. The jacket was stained with blood so she could only wear the short sleeve s.h.i.+rt.
Her school uniform was gone too. She needed to go to the logistics department and ask them if they had new school uniforms.
Yang Heng was carrying a basketball. He wanted to play a few rounds before dinner. Upon his cla.s.smate’s notice, he saw Ye Jian walking over wearing a short sleeve. He stuffed the basketball in his friend’s arms. “You can go first. I’ll come later.”
