Chapter 3817: Frightening
Editor: Henyee Translations
The last time she spoke to Jiaxin, she said that she hadn’t seen Wu Yue for ten months and nine days. Her roommates were all secretly guessing if she had fallen out of love. Even Jiaxin herself nearly thought that she had fallen out of love. She even asked Ye Jian if she and Captain Xia often experienced this. Did they feel wronged? Did they feel tired? Did they feel like they had been abandoned?
At that time, Ye Jian only replied with one word, “No.” She had never felt that she had fallen out of love or been abandoned. She had never felt wronged or tired. She had never felt that way.
Even though there was no news of him, she could always feel his meticulous concern. They had not seen each other for 11 months and 16 days, but she never felt that he had left her for a long time.
It was as if their separation happened yesterday. She could still feel the warmth between her fingers from when she last touched his handsome face. It was warm. It was always warm even without him by her side.
Hence, she knew that her happiness would last. As long as he was still around, she would be happy enough!
She nodded heavily and promised Zhou Yijin that they would meet tonight no matter how late it was.
Zhou Yijin, who was smiling, immersed herself in her work. Ye Jian and the rest decorated the entire auditorium in a festive manner.
As for the battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion, he didn’t experience the sparks of love that the political commissars hoped for. After asking the soldiers to send Du Jiayi back to her building, he didn’t even enter the company auditorium and went for training.
The company commander took the lead and ran for ten kilometers.
After the evening training ended, the company commander sighed and said to Ye Jian, “The battalion commander’s marriage is a huge problem that our entire battalion needs to solve urgently. If you have any ladies to introduce to him, you can be a matchmaker. I was chased around by a drug-detection dog for ten kilometers today and almost collapsed.”
Ye Jian’s company had always cooperated with the border defense armed police officers. The People’s Liberation Army faced the outside world while the armed police faced the inside. The two companies were not very distant from one another. Sometimes, they would even have basketball competitions. The drug-detection dog that had chased the company commander hadn’t been trained, so the battalion commander had already shown mercy on account of their many years of relationship.
Otherwise, if a fully-trained drug-detection dog had been released, the company commander would not have merely collapsed from being chased. He would have been knocked down and bitten until he was half dead.
Ye Jian’s heart trembled when she heard this. She would rather be chased by a human than a drug-detection dog that knew human nature all too well.
“I was just telling the political commissars that if things really don’t work out, they should introduce the regimental commander’s sister to the battalion commander. The political commissars didn’t say anything about that. I wonder if they need to consider how to mention it to the regimental commander.”
Ye Jian, who was walking properly, tripped. The company commander said, “Be careful.” Ye Jian replied, “I’m fine.” She only tripped because she was shocked by the company commander’s words.
Introduce… Du Jiayi to the battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion? Heck no!
After pondering for a moment, Ye Jian said gently, “The regimental commander’s sister should have a boyfriend, right? Also, the regimental commander seems to be from the capital city. The battalion commander is from Nanguang. Their customs are different, and their food preferences are different too. It won’t be easy for them to get along.”
…
“What you said makes sense. Marriage isn’t just about two people. It involves their two families too. However…” The company commander took off his training cap and wiped the hot sweat off his forehead. Nodding thoughtfully, he said, “I don’t think he’s worthy. The battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion is more compatible with a sincere and down-to-earth woman. The regimental commander’s younger sister… is too much of a princess. That won’t work.”
Ye Jian heaved a sigh of relief. The thought of introducing Du Jiayi to the battalion commander… was really scary!
