Chapter 131: Changing Eyes
It seemed that no one knew what kind of person Xia Jinyuan was. He was very mysterious but also very sincere at the same time.
He always had a way of making others obey him willingly and happily. Nevertheless, in an instant, he could isolate himself from them again.
Facing the man who could control all his emotions easily, Ye Jian said to himself, “What a headache!”
With the remaining temperature from his fingertips at the tip of his nose, Ye Jian smiled without changing his expression. “Sorry, but I don't have a messy mind. First, I don't have time for that. Second, I was young and innocent. Third, I must keep my distance from men, as you said, Captain Xia.”
“Captain Xia, you are a more prominent man than an ordinary boy. Therefore, it is more important for me to stay away from you.”
The traps made by this eloquent girl were as good as those of an adult.
Screak! Vehicle stopped. As Xia Jinyuan stepped on the brakes, she approached Ye Jian. The distance was so close that he could see how dense and thick his long eyelashes were…
Her deep, dark eyes stared at her beautiful face, which had a faint smile. Gently, he smiled. “You can keep your distance from all the men in the world, except me.”
As he spoke, his voice, clear and light, sounded as if it came from an ancient musical instrument that was played softly.
The low-pitched, cool voice was so unique that every word of it imprinted the charisma of a man named Xia Jinyuan.
His wine is intoxicating, so is he.
Ye Jian did not lose his mind due to his sudden approach. Instead, he remained vigilant and his eyes seemed calmer.
“Of course, I cannot keep my distance from you, Captain Xia. Because..."
Since the man was already very close to him, Ye Jian did not mind approaching him. Smiling, he leaned forward a little.
Not only could they feel each other's breath, but the tip of their nose would also come into contact if they moved a little. “Because.. I understand you mean, Captain Xia.”.
Xia Jinyuan had to admit that the girl was very cunning. He had no way of progressing further due to his trickery.
What's he supposed to do? It seemed like he had lost the secret fight between them.
Xia Jinyuan looked at the black eyes of Ye Jian who were as pure as night. He also looked at her with concentration as if he was the only person in the world. With a meaningful smile from her thin lips, Xia Jinyuan deliberately slowed down her speech speed as if whispering to her lover. “That's what I mean at the moment, but it may or may not change in the future.”
Usually, he is less interested in women. However, he did not want this girl to end up with someone else... How dizzying.
It is not known if we will meet again in the future... Ye Jian thought to himself. While maintaining a smile on his face, he said, “Who knows what the future holds? The current priority is that you give instructions to me, Captain Xia.”
Can she stay away from him if he is her instructor? Of course not! That's exactly what he meant!
It was a conversation filled with ambiguous seduction, but it ended because the two people involved in it kept their composure. As the vehicle drove to the provincial military base, Ye Jian heard a strong shout from the training ground.
Chapter 132: The Shouts of the Youth
The young soldiers were sweating on the training ground to strengthen their physique, waiting to serve their country one day!
As Ye Jian stepped into this formidable and enthusiastic place, he became a completely different person.
Even his eyes were filled with the ferocity that a soldier should have. He likes this place.
He loved his satisfaction as he put on his practice clothes and climbed over obstacles and crossed layers of wire fences with the rest of the soldiers!
He likes to sweat on the training ground and drink, laugh, cry, and bleed with the soldiers!
As the saying goes, an army must be maintained for many years, but it must be used at the right time. If you never approach the world of young warriors, you will not know how they train in ordinary days and how they race against time.
The soldiers, who were wearing training clothes and forming a circle, were sitting on the training ground. Xia Jinyuan was also one of the spectators. He was watching a girl who dared to wrestle against a soldier from Inner Mongolia.
There was a faint smile in his deep, black eyes. He was concentrating on the girl.
He had seen the contents of Ye Jian's training, which consisted of five parts: the first was the training of the weapon sergeant, the second was the training of the engineering sergeant, the third was the training of the communication sergeant, the second was the training of the communication sergeant, the fourth is the training of commanders, and the fifth is the training of medical sergeants.
The reason why the medical sergeant training was the last stage was because Grandpa Gen and School Head Chen were not good at it, and it was difficult to absorb it in such a short period of time.
Right now, the training of the weapons sergeant was Ye Jian's priority. He had to study the function of light weapons at home and abroad.
Pistols, semi-automatic rifles, machine guns, mortars, anti-tank guns, and anti-aircraft guns are also included.
He will also receive tactical training, indirect weapons attacks, and the use of portable antiaircraft weapons. Dangerous A-rated specialized training such as the assembly and dismantling of weapons and bombs is also included.
And sniper training is subordinated to the first part of his training program. Therefore, so far, Ye Jian displayed the best in this section.
The week-long pair training had made Xia Jinyuan know of Ye Jian's abilities. As School Head Chen had said, he had reached a good level in every aspect, except for his strength.
So, he avoided the first part of his training plan, trying to improve Ye Jian's battle performance as much as possible this week.
In the meantime, he will tell her how to observe, defend, and fight in non-traditional combat (murder).
As night approached, the deafening screams from the training ground faded. After warming up, Ye Jian participated in the training with Xia Jinyuan's instructions.
Just like the six nights before, it was already ten o'clock in the evening when Ye Jian exited the training field of the provincial military base. By the time he returned to the No.1 Provincial High School and returned to his dorm from the back gate, the time had already shown at eleven.
“Living, escaping, defending, and dodging are more than just tactics, it can also be used in battle,” Xia Jinyuan said in a firm and cold voice. In her combat uniform, Xia Jinyuan looked as tough and sharp as a sword. Even his dark eyes were sharp. With stability, he passed a big bend. “Try absorbing what I have taught you in the last seven days. I'll test you when you come to the capital.”
"I'll do that. When do you leave tomorrow?” said Ye Jian in a serious tone while nodding lightly.
He asked that for courtesy. After instructing him with great difficulty for seven nights, he would leave tomorrow.
"Why? You want to take me away? Smiling, Xia Jinyuan glanced at him. He was not used to girls being polite to him. “If that's your plan, I'm afraid you can't go back to school tonight.”
Chapter 133: Flirting Is Fun
As the car was unable to drive to the back gate of the school, it stopped under a residential building. Inside the sealed vehicle, the breathing sounds of the two people were clearly heard after the engine was shut off.
Ye Jian unlocked the car and jumped. Smiling at Xia Jinyuan sitting in the car, he said, “Good business, Captain Xia. Good bye."
Similar to all other flagship schools in the province, the No.1 Provincial Secondary School is surrounded by high-rise residential buildings. Built in the 1980s, the seven-story-tall row of buildings behind the back gate is only about a meter from each other.
Every night, Xia Jinyuan stopped her car here and drove Ye Jian to school. Tonight is no exception.
While Ye Jian smiled, he got down from the car elegantly and closed the door. Leaning back in the car, he looked at the girl whose facial features were unclear under the street lights. The curvature I formed on his thin lips. “Even no hugs before farewell?”
“We've had enough cuddling on the training ground. Don't you remember, Captain Xia?” He also knows how to flirt.
Even a fool would learn how to flirt after being with her for a few days! As Ye Jian smiled brightly, there were sly implications in his eyes. “We will have many opportunities to cuddle in the capital.”
The girl was getting more and more fluent in speaking. Looks like he should stop teasing her now... Otherwise, he would get angry if he was good at teasing other men.
During the summer holidays, this ancient seven-storey residential building from the 1980s is lit up with few lights. The rest is covered in darkness.
Both walked past several residential buildings. Almost at the same time, they both looked in the same direction.
With a hint of coldness in his eyes, Ye Jian said to him, “That's not too far away. I can walk there alone.” Not a pleasant feeling to look at for several nights in a row.
“You want to go there alone and have a look?” Xia Jinyuan did not stop. He also did not agree to leave her here. “If you want to ride, I can accompany you.”
Behind the window, a person was so frightened that his hands trembled. He lowered the curtain, took a glass of water on the table and took a sip of the water.
So scary! The deadly gaze in Ye Jian's eyes was so cold and ferocious that his heart almost jumped out.
About three minutes later, the shocked person patted his chest lightly to calm himself down. Again, he pulled the curtain gently.
He was about to raise the camera in his hand to film the men and women returning after a walk at night.
A gap opened under the curtain. Under the light of the table lamp, he saw a face stuck near the window from outside. "Aah!!"
Holding the camera, Liao Jian shouted in horror as if he was seeing a ghost. In the end, he could not keep the camera in his hands. Bam! It fell to the ground. He wondered if it was broken.
The window is fully open. Ye Jian jumped lightly and stood on the balcony.
As he opened the curtain, he saw Liao Jian leaning against the wall and staring out in fear. An imported camera was lying beside his feet.
Chapter 134: You Can't Move
Bowing, Ye Jian crawled into the room quietly through a window that did not have a cable fence. Enchanted by the startled Liao Jian, he leaned over to take the camera.
During the process, Ye Jian did not speak to him at all. After picking up the camera, he stepped on the table and jumped down with his back bent. Just like that, he disappeared from the room.
His eyeballs froze, Liao Jian did not move at all until he jumped from the window. Shaking, he regained his senses and sped to the table. Hands resting on the table, he looked down and saw Ye Jian waving at him under the street lights...
Liao Jian's face turned pale. He shrank his neck and did not dare to look again. Bang out! He stretched out his trembling hand to close the window. He fell to the ground beside the table.
Jumping from the seventh floor... How did Ye Jian do that?!
And how could he ascend to the seventh floor from the first floor in the blink of an eye?!
An unprecedented fear enveloped the air in an instant. Liao Jian had already regretted his promise with Ye Ying. He had come all the way to the No.1 Provincial High School to spy on someone beyond his means!
He's gotta get back to town tomorrow. He mustn't let Ye Jian find him again!
Downstairs, Ye Jian said something to Xia Jinyuan. Glancing at the window that did not have the slightest bit of light, and with a hint of ferocity on her thin lips, Xia Jinyuan said in a deep voice, “Your sister is planning something. Ye Jian, if you suspect he is doing this to prevent you from escaping in the competition, you should be careful in school!”
He had witnessed a feud between girls. Their tricks are unpredictable and they fight stealthily!
The next day, Ye Ying stared at the camera on her desk as she was sitting in the classroom. Although there was a calm feigned expression on her tiny face that was the size of a palm, her trembling eyelashes showed her emotions.
“I'm sorry that your item is damaged. Please explain to Liao Jian when you meet him.” Ye Jian said in a cold voice. Her pure eyes were fixed on Ye Ying, who lowered her head in guilt. “I assume Liao Jian won't ask me to compensate him if you return this damaged item to him.”
Lightly, Ye Ying closed her eyes. As he raised his eyes, there was a shadow within. “Restore to whoever you took it. What do you mean by handing it to me? Go then! I need to learn!”
“I want to return it directly to Liao Jian. However, I don't think he dared to meet me at this time after he had a terrifying night. But he will definitely come to you.”
Ye Jian gently tapped his finger onto the table. His calm tone revealed an indistinct coldness that made Ye Ying's heart pound. “If you don't want any accidents before the exam, Ye Ying, you better be nice.”
It was visible from the cold expression on her face that she was threatening Ye Ying. With her heart pounding, Ye Ying bit her lower lip without saying a word.
Meanwhile, he felt relieved.
Fortunately, they both had to take the exam. Otherwise, the evil girl would have avenged her.
Realizing that Liao Jian was an unreliable helper, Ye Ying cursed him angrily and smashed his camera, which was worth thousands of RMB.
Liao Jian intended to warn him about Ye Jian. However, after being scolded by her, Liao Jian only wanted to slap her face furiously. So, he left without saying anything.
He won't warn her! If he was able to, he could finish it by himself!
After the accident, Ye Ying did not dare to do any tricks anymore.
Chapter 135: Emitting the Shining Light
By July 17, the 15-day closed-door training had ended. In the evening, led by the No 1 Provincial Junior High School teacher, 12 students left for the capital.
None of the students had ever visited the capital of their country before... From July 19th to 23rd, an extremely difficult five-day exam is held before the excitement of the students subsides.
It was only after they arrived here that they realized that although every province sent eighth and ninth grade students to take the exam, the best schools in the capital sent out junior and upper secondary school students.
After day one, four of the 12 high school township students dropped out of the competition. Three more came out on the second day, and two more on the third day. In the end, only Ye Jian, Ye Ying, and Gao Yiyang were left in the contest.
The atmosphere in the exam room was rather gripping. After four days of undergoing a series of challenges including written exams, oral exams, and vying to answer questions, Ye Jian, who was usually calm, sweated in his palms.
But whenever his turn came to accept the challenge, he would stand tall and stare at his opponent calmly, then he would answer the teacher's question quickly.
There are 14 physics, chemistry, and math teachers in the exam room. Each of them managed to bear the title of 'National Achievement Teacher'. They took turns questioning the students.
The exams are not held one by one subjects! It was a test combined with all the subjects!
"The answer is right!"
"The answer is right!"
"The answer is right!"
Every time Ye Jian gave a consecutive answer, the voice of the supervisor sounded extremely loud. After 16 challenges, this beautiful girl with a pair of intelligent eyes was ranked first with 100% accuracy%!
He even outperformed two high school students who attended the Science Olympiad three years ago!
Undoubtedly, Gao Yiyang was quite brilliant. His accuracy rate was among the top three Junior High students. In contrast, Ye Ying often made mistakes at the joint exam sessions.
"The wrong answer. Three wrong answers in a row. Ye Ying from Fujun City in Southern Province, exit.”
After 30 minutes of vying to answer, Ye Ying sat in the examination hall, with a pale face. Without blinking, he stared at Ye Jian who was competing with the seven students from the best school in the capital.
He got rid of a student easily. When an English teacher asks her question, she answers like a native English speaker without pause!
He can really speak English! Goddamn bum! Why did Ye Ying never know that!
Every single teacher present smiled in agreement..on Ye Jian!
They smiled at the evil girl he had been taking for granted!
His sharp nails pierced his palms, but Ye Ying did not feel the pain. All he could feel was... Ye Jian was so brilliantly standing on that podium. How much he wished he could get rid of it!
How could an orphan girl stand here and get the attention of all the teachers and win everyone's awards?!
If not for Ye Jian, he would have been able to pass the test!
That's her! It was the damned Ye Jian who had exerted tremendous pressure, as a result of which he failed!
After answering the English teacher's question on the podium, Ye Jian smiled. Her perseverance and confidence in her smile attracted everyone's attention in an instant.
“His response exceeds that of any current student. We have no reason to stop high-achieving students from going abroad. Ye Jian from Fujin City Secondary School in Southern Province has qualified.” After a brief discussion among the senior teachers, the first students to qualify for the next round came from the mountainous countryside, not from the capital.
