Within only a few moments of meeting her, this Armyâs Lieutenant General had acknowledged Ye Jianâs ability and was impressed by all of her aspects.
When facing Ye Jianâs military salute, the three colonels all wore grim expressions on their faces while they saluted her back. Only after they had put down their right hands did they smile at Ye Jian. They spoke a few words with Ye Jian before leaving one by one.
After the three heavy-weight leaders had left the room, even the air inside the large meeting room was circulating much better. Xia Jinyuan watched as she sneakily patted her chest. He couldnât help but cock his brows and snicker, âAnd here I thought you werenât afraid. Itâs just that you hid it well.â
âSit down; Iâll pour you a cup of water. Since youâve spoken so much and pulled an all-nighter, itâs better not to lose your voice when boarding the plane early in the morning. The reason youâre accompanying us this time is to establish an intimate connection between the students of our countries. We must let them know our countryâs sincerity.â
Ye Jian only knew that she was going to a country that had only become peaceful after a war. As to which specific country and why the countryâs leaders chose to go there at this time, those arenât things that she is allowed to know.
Hearing that, she sat down on the large, full meeting room chair and let out a long breath of relief. She exclaimed while laughing: âI wasnât afraid at the start, but near the end, I say, Captain Xia, are you always this unbridled even in front of leaders? You kept staring at me! I was still fine before that, but after being glanced at you from time to time, it made me so nervous. I thought Iâd said something wrong.â
Xia Jinyuan, who was pouring water, heard her words. A dark light flashed through his deep pupils; then, a smile attached itself onto his thin lips.
He walked over and put a cup of water into her hands. His slender eyebrows cocked upwards very slightly, and he asked with a whisper: âThen thatâs weird. When the bigshot leaders are here, you werenât even nervous; instead, you became nervous because I looked at you more than once. That isnât logical.â
âIt is logical, because of youâ¦â Before she managed to finish her sentence, Xia Jinyuan, who was sitting on the meeting room table, suddenly bent his waist. Ye Jian, who was sipping water with her head down, was on guard. Because he unexpectedly lowered his body, she subconsciously looked upwards, now the distance between the two of them was much smaller.
⦠so close that the distance between the tip of his handsome nose and the tip of her nose was only half of a fingerâs width!
Her star-like eyes became enlarged as she looked at the man who was within her reach. Even if she immediately held her breath, it was still unavoidable that his breathing would enter into her chest.
Her pupils constricted to the point that the only thing she could see in the world was him.
She unnaturally bit tighter onto her lower lip. Ye Jian steadied her thoughts, then asked: âYou should first stand up. If you have something to say, letâs do it properly. Donât be too close. From a medical standpoint, two people being so close to each other isnât beneficial to breathing; theyâll breathe in each otherâs carbon dioxide. There would also be cross-infection phenomenaâ¦â
What exactly was it that she wanted to say! Ye Jian, who couldnât withstand it anymore, leaned back with her body. Even her head tilted back while her legs stomped on the ground in the hopes of pushing the chair alongside her away.
She couldnât move it at all. A gray carpet was laid across the floor, and the chair was a bow foot chair. She couldnât push herself away.
âThatâs not logical. My rank isnât as high as theirs, nor do I have a stronger military might. Thereâs no need even to mention our achievements; we arenât even comparable. So then, why are you afraid of my gaze? That isnât logical.â While saying that, he used his thumb to rub against her elegant chin that was as pure as a pearl. Ye Jianâs whole body instantly became frozen. Her pupils constricted to the size of a needlepoint. Because of his intimate actions, She was so frightened that even her toes curled up.
Is he crazy? This is inside the military area. It was a meeting room! Are there any cameras here? Will anyone see this?
