The sound of the soldiersâ laughter was even louder now. They respected their Captain, loved their captain, and at the same time, they also teased their aloof but open-minded Captain.
This Li Jinnian, even though the soldiers call him âDevil King,â heâs still a âDevil Kingâ that had won the hearts of his men.
Ye Jian, who was caught red-handed, wasnât flustered in the slightest. Her smiling gaze landed on her military-camo stow bag in Li Jinnianâs hand, and continued teasing: âAfter nearly two months of training, this is the first time Iâve seen the Devil King proactively trying to carry luggage for his comrades. If Iâd had known earlier, I wouldâve brought my diving equipment along.â
âHahaha, Devil King, why donât you sacrifice a little, and bring my diving equipment for you and increase some weight and not let Ye Jian feel regretful.â
âYouâre carrying one set of equipment, then it doesnât matter if you carry a second set, Devil King, you can also take mine while youâre at it.â
The soldiers who understood the meaning outside of Ye Jianâs words laughed even louder. The final shred of sadness of their parting also flew away with their laughter; whatâs left was their laughter and jokes in the morning.
The stone-faced Li Jinnian confronted the teasing from his comrades; an emotion flashed and disappeared under his frigid expression in an instant. Even Ye Jian didnât notice the smile.
âLetâs go.â In a place full of laughter, his voice though cold, still managed to reach Ye Jianâs ears clearly, âItâs already getting late.â
Ye Jian nodded, and stopped caring about the small luggage wrung in his hands, and followed after Li Jinnian and stepped towards the deck.
âLetâs go, letâs go, disembark, disembark, my brothers, clean your equipment, then weâll all disembark together.â Big Whale, Big Eel each led a squad; they walked to the deck in an orderly fashion, then disembarked one after the other.
Xia Jinyuan walked in large strides; his walking pace also hastened; he had already noticed the figure he hadnât seen for two months getting off from the patrol boat. Standing alongside Water Demons in black diving suits, her body of Ground Forces Camo was especially eye-catching. After Xia Jinyuanâs gaze locked on, it had never left again.
Ye Jian, who was in the lineup, as if in thought, turned her head towards the straight pier that stretched towards the depths of the port and noticed the tall and upright figure that was walking towards her. Her obsidian eyes seemed to glitter with brilliant light, her pretty face was like a flower as it bloomed numerous times, her bright smile made Li Jinnian, who was in front of the whole unit, to have his gaze frozen subconsciously.
The gaze looking at her was as scorching as the sun; even with more than dozens of meters between them, she could still feel the heat contained under his eyes.
With a heated heart, Ye Jian righted her body and stopped looking at him out of the corner of her eyes, but her lips couldnât help but to curve upwards ever so slightly.
She already guessed that the person coming to fetch her must be him.
No matter where, Captain Xia could always manage to appear right before her eyes, like a lighthouse towering in the oceans, allowing her to find the correct direction at any time.
Similarly, feeling the happy gaze coming from Ye Jian, the smile on Xia Jinyuanâs handsome face became deeper and warmer, the frigid cold between his brows dissipated, leaving the only gentleness behind.
He was happy because of his arrival, and he was similarly filled with joy.
âThe Devil King definitely treats Ye Jian differently. See, he even has Ye Jianâs bag in his hand.â After trying to prod multiple times, Big Shark hadnât noticed anything wrong, and his gaze dimmed.
Major Xia and Ye Jianâs relationship was only of comrades in battles? After listening to what he had said just now, he needed to add a question mark.
However, since Major Xia didnât say it outrightly, in that case, of course, heâll assume the relationship between the both of them was just of comrades in battle. Furthermore, Ye Jian had just graduated from high school, from the intensity of her training and the heavy homework from school, she shouldnât have too much time for relationships.
The most important thing was, Ye Jian, didnât even bother to take glances at a man like Devil King Li. It was obvious from that that she didnât have any ideas regarding matters of love and relationships,⦠a hardworking yet excellent female soldier, the most important event of Devil King Liâs life could be solved in no time!
