Some of their comrades were already waking up. Hearing the rustles around her made Ye Jianâs heartstrings tense up, and her gaze quickly surveyed around the area. She was just worried⦠that someone had already heard everything of their conversation.
The sunlight was very dim at five in the morning. Within the faint mist, Ye Jian realized Devil King Li, who shouldâve been closest to them, had already pulled at least two meters away from them, which also means only her and Xia Jinyuan were occupying this spot.
Xia Jinyuanâs gaze followed after hers and indifferently studied Li Jinnian for a moment before pulling back his gaze.
It sure is easy to communicate with smart people. Even though he didnât announce Ye Jianâs relationship with him openly, the Devil King had already figured it out. He purposely pulled away, leaving enough space for him and Ye Jian.
Devil King, youâre terrific!
At the same time, he believed that this man wouldnât spread what was going on between Ye Jian and him.
As to why he revealed some information for Devil King Li, the reason was simple, he noticed his counterpartâs gaze was lingering on his girlfriendâs body for a little bit too long as of late.
That wasnât a good sign, and he must stop that.
Someone as excellent as the little fox wouldnât lack suitors, and he also had no way of driving off every single man that had their eyes on her, but that doesnât stop him from asserting his dominance as her boyfriend since he already knew about it, then he must strike, and mustnât let his rivals have a chance.
The matter about the love letter, heh, he was keeping that in mind!
How would Ye Jian know that this man beside her had already asserted his dominance without her knowing? Realizing that Devil King Li was a ways away from them, only then did she let out a sigh of relief.
Noticing several comrades were getting up one after the other, she immediately said: âWords are not enough for your great kindness; if you really want my thanks, weâll talk about it when the time comes. Put it on my tab! Also, donât you dare collect interest!â
With collecting interest in the form of a kiss for a kissâ and similar things in mind, Major Xia immediately halted that thought; he was afraid he wouldnât even be able to collect his âcapitalâ back.
He also heard the signs of his comrades waking up and knew the short time that belonged to the two of them must end now.
Furthermore, he too didnât want to let everyone know his relationship with Ye Jian right now, even if he wanted to announce it, at the very least, heâd need to wait until Ye Jian joins the Elite Platoon and achieves certain results.
Only by doing so could it shut everyoneâs mouth up.
The members of both teams do not have the habit of sleeping in, plus knowing this competition would also be a tryout, everyone was amped up and wanted to secure a spot for themselves, the competition had already started, if they didnât want to be disqualified, then they needed to give this their all.
Although they were already giving their all before, now theyâll strive for it even more; thatâs why sheâll also have to give it her all.
Ye Jian had already packed up her sleeping bag into a roll; she turned around and noticed Xia Jinyuan had already finished packing all of his equipment and said to her: âGo take a walk ahead, come back and assemble at 5:30.â
Thereâs a small stream ahead, which allows for simple washing up.
They still had 23 minutes. Ye Jian realized that the Devil King Li was also packing and wasnât calling for their team to assemble, then turned around and followed him into the forest. Before leaving, she quickly felt the insides of her dignitary kit, then calmly slid one hand into her combat uniformâs pockets; only then did she follow after Xia Jinyuan.
The girlfriendâs actions were noted down by the boyfriend; he didnât point her out, only making his lips curve into a charming arch.
Sheâs really so⦠adorable; the shy cuteness was making it hard for him to endure not teasing her.
No can do, if he teased even more, then the little fox will bare her hidden âclaws,â and would get angry and claw at his face till she draws blood, then that wouldnât be worth the loss.
