Regimental Commander Liu and Political Commissar Yan walked over. Seeing that Ye Jian1 was still sitting inside the car and not getting out after a while, not only was she not getting out, she was still touching here and there inside the car,⦠sheâs really unwilling to get out of the car.
Regimental Commander Liu erupted into laughter after seeing her act like this. Opening the car door, he spoke with a cheery voice: âYou lassie, why donât you come down? Itâs mealtime, come down and go have lunch, you can continue your training after the break.â

Wasnât rusty, wasnât rusty at all, sheâs still very familiar with it.
âCome come come, follow the two of us and have some potato salad. You ah, donât feel reluctant to come out, whenever you come, you give our soldiers here a good kicking, at the very least give our men a little room to breathe, huh?â
The moment she arrived, she drove a jeep at top speed, going on the S-shaped curve, twisting the steering wheel with one hand while firing at the live targets with the other. The series of blanks she fired away had made even the spectatorsâ hearts boil in enthusiasm.
Ye Jian jumped out of the car and said in a slightly embarrassed tone: âI suddenly trained too much and Iâm not in a hurry to get lunch yet, Iâll go check the results first.â
âYour results arenât bad, when you fired, all of them hit the forehead, throat and heart. The three most important places.â Political Commissar Yan looked at Ye Jian with a smile. He asked after reading her carefully: âYou little lass, why are you working so hard, what spurred you on like this?â
The Political Commissar truly had an eye for detail; he had found out Ye Jian was slightly unusual with just a careful look.
Even Ye Jian herself didnât know where she acted unusually for Political Commissar Yan to figure it out; she smiled: âSince when did Political Commissar gain all-knowing eyes?â
âNormally you would head for lunch the moment it was breaktime, you would never be there later than the rest of the men, but today was different from before. Why would I need to use my all-knowing eyes? Just by slightly observing you, anyone would be able to figure it out.â Political Commissar Yan focused his eyes. After taking a closer look at Ye Jianâs expression, his brows gently furrowed together, âSeems like thereâs some anger hanging around, thereâs also something weighing on your heart, what happened? Young lass.â
Hearing his words, Regimental Commander Liu also focused his gaze and looked carefully. Truthfully, there was an angry look between her brows, âDid you see people that needed a good beating? Speak everything that comes to mind, donât just keep it inside your heart.â
âI didnât face any difficulties, just that thereâs a bad taste stuck in my mouth. Iâll be fine after taking care of it.â Tossing aside matters regarding Xia Jinyuan2 and the others, Ye Jian held a grudge because the mercenary believes that Chinese soldiers arenât impressive.
On what grounds do they look down upon our countryâs soldiers?!
She didnât have any intention of continuing that conversation right now. Political Commissar Yan and Regimental Commander Liu glanced at each other, thereâs no rush, asking her about it later is also fine.
âAs long as youâre fine, as long as youâre fine.â Political Commissar Yan lightly patted Ye Jianâs shoulders. Then straightening her collar, he exclaimed with laughter: âLittle lass Ye, both of us want to see you put on the army uniform as soon as possible, why donât you just skip one more grade and attend Grade 12?â
In the unit, he had always told the soldiers to read more books if they had the time, to gain more knowledge, but in Ye Jianâs case, he had reversed everything. Instead, he thought that her still studying in school was a waste of time, and itâs way better for her to toss herself wholeheartedly into the military.
âLook at you, look at you, youâre the one who criticized me for being too hasty and have to take things slowly and when itâs your turn, good riddance, youâre straight up asking Ye Jian to skip school and join the army.â Regimental Commander Liu swept his gaze at the Political Commissar, who was acting true to the saying âonly the tyrants can set flames, while the citizens canât even light lights,â and spoke sternly to Ye Jian: âDonât listen to him speaking nonsense. Studies, we will have to continue, not only do you have to study, you also need to study hard!â
âPolitical Commissar Yan must be too busy nowadays, his brain has probably rusted, speaking nonsense with wide open eyes, donât listen to him.â
Usually, he was the one being lectured by the Political Commissar. Still, this time around, he finally found an opportunity to lecture the Political Commissar, how would Regimental Commander Liu give up on this perfect opportunity? He grabbed the chance to speak out about the things he could never have said usually and said everything he wanted. âPeople like this who does administrative work have several strategies before and behind people and they donât even allow you to read their minds, leading young fellows astray!â
