It was raining outside. Even if he wanted her to send him to the car, he could not let her do that. He turned his slender body and smiled at her with his black eyes. “Go upstairs. It’s raining. You shouldn’t walk out in it.”

The car couldn’t drive to the entrance downstairs. He had to walk out.

Ye Jian looked at the curtain of rain and pointed at the corner of his pants. “Pull up the corner of your pants. There’s a lot of mud outside. Be careful not to dirty your pants.”

The border defense company’s camp was still under construction. They were staying in this two-story building that had just been built not long ago. The greenery outside had not been completed. It was not easy for cars to enter, and the roads were not easy to walk on. The rainwater had made the place muddy as well.

Ye Jian remembered Qin Xiu’s standards for hygiene and reminded him.

Qin Xiu smiled. “I’m not obsessed with cleanliness. However, I have to take care of my image at all times. As time passed, it became a habit.” Although he said that, he still bent down and carefully folded up the corner of his pants.

The staff member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs pursed his lips and smiled. People who were obsessed with cleanliness usually wouldn’t think that they were.

Ye Jian pursed her lips and smiled too. If he wasn’t in a hurry, she would have told him everything she knew about his obsession with cleanliness.

The black umbrella was opened. Qin Xiu held the handle of the umbrella. Under the black umbrella, he nodded slightly and smiled at Ye Jian. Under the light, there was a faint gentleness in his gentle eyes. Before Ye Jian realized it, the edge of the umbrella was lowered a little. The shadow of the umbrella covered his eyes. He turned around, and his slender back walked into the darkness before disappearing slowly.

“Ambassador, that female soldier just now… Is she the female soldier who accompanied you?” The accompanying staff member smiled curiously and asked, “She’s really beautiful. When the two of you stand together, my eyes light up.”

She wanted to praise Ye Jian for being beautiful, but she was afraid that it would seem frivolous if she said it just like that, so she even praised Qin Xiu.

Normally, when he heard such words, Qin Xiu would only smile and ignore them.

Today, he was interested. He replied with an ‘oh’ and smiled. “Why do you think so?”

“You’re both good-looking. You look very compatible.” The staff member smiled. He was telling the truth. When a handsome man and a beautiful woman stood together, they looked compatible. At least, from their appearances they did.

Did they look compatible?

Qin Xiu shook his head lightly. He sighed softly in the rain and wind. He didn’t want them to look compatible. He wanted them to be compatible.

He didn’t continue talking to the staff member. He didn’t want other people to know what he was thinking. Everything wasn’t clear yet. There were still many things that he didn’t understand. He couldn’t let anyone know for the time being.

If Ye Jian didn’t have a boyfriend, it would be fine if there were rumors about him liking her. However, if she really had a boyfriend, it would be unfair to her if such rumors spread.

In this world, people were always exceptionally lenient to men and harsh on women.

Ye Jian was able to achieve what she had today because of her own hard work. He didn’t want to ruin her start because of some rumors. He didn’t have the right.

The staff member was actually still excited about the conversation, but when he saw that Qin Xiu didn’t continue, the staff member, who more or less understood his personality, chose to end the conversation.

The rain landed on the umbrella. It was dripping. It sounded a little hurried as if it were urging people to return quickly.

Ye Jian stood at the side of the corridor until he was out of her sight. Then, she turned around and went upstairs.

She turned around and unintentionally looked ahead. She saw the man that she had sent back to his room just now standing at the door. He leaned against the door frame lazily and looked at her for a long time with a smile on his handsome face.
