Not Easily Bullied

"… Grandpa Gen is worried that I can't take care of myself. He is an old person so he worries too much. Captain Xia, sorry to cause you trouble." Since Xia Jinyuan didn't say anything ambiguous, Ye Jian relaxed and smiled brightly. "If you need my help next time, I'll definitely help. Just like today, I'm willing to help you."

She always believed whatever he said without any questions. Xia Jinyuan gave a gentle smile. This was his only gentleness as a soldier. "Stupid girl, if I ask you to come hell or high water, will you do it too?"

"Of course!" Ye Jian replied without thinking. Her expression was serious too. "I believe Captain Xia. Even if you ask me to come hell or high water, you and your comrades will be the ones who will rush in first."

She was so confident in him. She didn't compliment him but when Xia Jinyuan saw her shining eyes, he felt his heart palpitating faster.

After some time, he smiled lightly and sighed, "You're really a stupid girl."
