Chapter 3156 Hopeless

Xu Wen, who was waiting for the diplomat to say more, was dumbfounded.

Didn’t the elegant diplomat see the excitement in her eyes?

After all, she was Jian’s good friend, roommate, and comrade. Yet… she was dismissed with just one sentence!

She was so angry. What should she do?

Before even getting down from the stage, Xu Wen couldn’t wait and asked Ye Jian with a smile, “Come, come, come. Jian, tell me what the handsome diplomat said to you just now. I feel that he said a lot, but I was stunned and didn’t hear a word.

“Also tell me how you know him. One look and I can tell that the two of you are very familiar with each other.”

Ye Jian was in a hurry to ask the platoon leader for leave so that she could go to the Milky Way Plaza to look for her comrades earlier. Seeing that Xu Wen was determined not to give up until she answered, she said helplessly, “I’ve known Qin Xiu since I was in senior high. We’ve known each other for so many years. Of course, we’re acquaintances.

“I’ll go and ask for leave from the platoon leader first. I won’t be around for roll call tonight. I’ll take a look at the situation once I head back to the dorm later.”

“Your old friend is here. You should accompany him. Hurry up and go. Qin Xiu is attending as a special guest. It’s definitely not a problem for you to take leave from the platoon leader.”

Ye Jian explained, “It’s not him. Don’t make wild guesses. I’ll go and look for the platoon leader first. You can go back to the dormitory with He Jing.”

Not the handsome diplomat? Then who?

Xu Wen actually wanted to know, but Ye Jian didn’t reveal that information. It wasn’t convenient for her to probe further, so she said, “Hurry up and go, then. You can leave once everyone heads out.”

It was impossible to leave the venue alone while everyone else was inside. This was a rule.

Ye Jian rarely missed attendance because of personal matters. In addition, she wasn’t going out. She would be in school. The platoon leader agreed readily. After the entire class lined up and left the venue, Ye Jian immediately rushed to the Milky Way Plaza.

The venue was still a distance away from the Milky Way Plaza. Ye Jian, who was walking quickly, started running in the end. She wanted to see Captain Xia and her comrades as soon as possible.

At 9:10 pm, Ye Jian’s slender figure ran across the campus. Qin Xiu was waiting for Ye Jian.

Ambassador Qin Dingkang wanted to see Ye Jian, so the school leader sent students to look for her.

Soon, the students came back. Ye Jian was not with them. Qin Xiu’s heart sank.

She didn’t come?

Qin Xiu, who was clenching his fists, heard the students who came back say, “Ye Jian just applied for leave from the platoon leader. She said that an old friend came to school, so she’ll be accompanying them to walk around the school. She didn’t take attendance.”

Qin Xiu’s eyes lit up. Was she coming to look for him?

Soon, the light in her eyes dimmed again.

That shouldn’t be possible, though.

In Ye Jian’s eyes, he was not an old friend. He could only be called a ‘friend’. He was a friend that she was familiar with but not too familiar with.

Hence, it was impossible for Ye Jian to take leave because of him.

Qin Dingkang glanced at his son secretly. Seeing that Qin Xiu’s expression was a little gloomy, he sighed softly in his heart and smiled at the school leaders. “It looks like I came a little late. It’s okay, it’s okay. We can meet next time. Commissar Zhong, it’s getting late. I won’t stay any longer. I need to return to the hotel to rest early and catch the morning flight at six o’clock tomorrow morning.”

The matter between Qin Xiu and Ye Jian… was difficult.
