Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don’t Mess Around!

2774 Shameless

Her short hair that was drenched in sweat was close to the corners of her eyes. Xia Jinyuan, who was talking, gently pushed her short hair aside and smiled. “We talked about a lot. Of course, we talked about you the most.”

“Why were you talking about me again? Don’t you have anything else to talk about besides me?” Ye Jian glared at him.

Her coquettish look made Xia Jinyuan smile even wider. “Talking about you can effectively promote the relationship between me and Cousin-in-law. If my relationship with him improves, there’ll be one less person stopping me from marrying you. Since I’ve already gotten closer to him, there’ll be one less person stopping me. I have to put in more effort to get the best of both worlds.”

His teasing tone made Ye Jian elbow him in the chest. She didn’t think much about it and didn’t know what had happened between the two of them before. When she elbowed him, she used a little more strength. Coincidentally, her elbow hit the spot where he was beaten up. Xia Jinyuan groaned.

Ye Jian immediately reacted and frowned. “What’s wrong with your chest? When did you get injured?”

“It’s nothing. I was just short of breath.” How could he tell her about the fight? Xia Jinyuan quickly changed the topic. “I didn’t only talk to Demon King Li about you; I also talked about other topics. I didn’t expect Demon King Li to be like the old me. He doesn’t have any intention of getting married.”

Ye Jian, who did not smell blood, thought that he was just taking a deep breath. She did not pay any more attention to it and was distracted by the topic. “He doesn’t plan to get married? Why does everyone think like that?”

Everyone…?

There was too much information just from this alone.

The sharp Lieutenant Xia sensed that something was wrong and pretended to ask casually, “Who else thinks so?”

“In the past, I never thought of getting married.” Without needing him to get anything out of her, Ye Jian admitted that she was one of those people. “In the past, I felt that getting married was a burden. How comfortable would it be to live alone? If I was alone, I’d have nothing to worry about.”

…

Lieutenant Xia touched his forehead. “This is the first time I’m finding out that you never planned to get married in the past.”

“You didn’t ask me why I didn’t want to get married. I didn’t want to, but I couldn’t stand you pestering me and insisting on giving you a definite answer. I clearly gave you a definite answer, but you still shamelessly clung to me.

Ye Jian looked at the young lieutenant colonel who seemed to be very surprised and said with a smile, “I rejected you, but you refused to give up. Every time I rejected you, you just kept coming back. Captain Xia, you really made things difficult for me in the past.”

“Was it that difficult? I wasn’t that shameless…” He did not expect his girlfriend to think of him that way in the past. Lieutenant Xia felt a little hurt. “I was quite good in the past. Every time I brought you on a mission, I was quite cooperative with you. Later on, I even specially gave you a self-defense weapon. Logically speaking, you should have a very good impression of me.

“Why would you think that I was… shameless?” He suspected that he had heard wrongly.

Ye Jian was amused by his suspicious expression. “This is why I always say that you’re shameless. You don’t even know how shameless you are. However… I didn’t expect that I’d be attracted to the shameless Captain Xia in the end. I knew that you were dangerous, but I still couldn’t help but want to see you…”

Xia Jinyuan liked these words.

“Looks like there are benefits to being shameless. If it can get men a girlfriend, do you think I should teach the bachelors in the team a few moves so that they can shamelessly chase after the woman they like?”
