Chapter 947: Your Thinking Is Improper

Major Xia was always in domineering mode when he interacted with Ye Jian. If he wasn’t proactive, this young lady with a hard sh.e.l.l would never take a step towards him.

She would only move closer to him if he charged furiously.

It was normal to feel embarra.s.sed. He would feel embarra.s.sed too!

“Xia Jinyuan, why are you dodging? You said so many crazy and irritating words but you won’t let me kick you once!” Ye Jian was embarra.s.sed but not angry at his actions. Her gaze was as gentle as water. Even when she glared at him, she looked beautiful and enchanting. “I was only 14 years old when you started having thoughts towards me. Your thinking is improper!”

He had already realized that his thinking was improper but realizing it and wanting to change it was two different things!

However, he felt fortunate that he had such an improper thought at the time. He didn’t lose this good young lady.

“If you act like a b.a.s.t.a.r.d and don’t take responsibility, that is the real improper thinking. I’m not that kind of person. My thoughts are proper and my att.i.tude is serious. I can stand the trial.” Xia Jinyuan’s laughter subsided when he saw Ye Jian’s face turning slightly pink due to her embarra.s.sment. The gentleness in his eyes was so deep they started to form a whirlpool. He held her hands tightly and looked intently at the girl he liked. He said his words slowly and seriously, word by word, “Ye Jian, you’re the only girl I want to hold hands with. You’re also the only girl that doesn’t mind this pair of hands that are stained with blood and will hold them bravely.”

“The other young ladies might faint due to fear before I even speak if I stretch out my bloodstained hands towards them.”

Ye Jian sensed helplessness in this serious statement. Who would dare to hold a pair of bloodstained hands?

She lowered her head and looked at her own hands. They were stained with blood too. There were even blood stains under her fingernails. It would take much courage to hold this pair of hands.

A few hours had pa.s.sed. The dried blood stains under the fingernails were hard to wash off. She needed to wash them carefully if she wanted to get rid of them. Ye Jian glanced at the man who was talking to her with a gentle expression. The invisible coldness in her eyes slowly melted and there was a hint of love in them.

“Let me tell you a true story. Once, after training, J5 told us something. He said that in the past, one of the retired old soldiers from our military unit returned to the camp after he completed his mission. After changing his bloodstained s.h.i.+rt, his comrade said that a young lady was looking for him. The old soldier was elated. He ran out happily and saw his girlfriend standing at the entrance of the camp like a flower.”

“The old soldier held his girlfriend’s hand and didn’t say anything. However, his girlfriend frowned and asked him why he smelled like blood. She also saw the blood between his fingers and in that instant, she retracted her hand.”

“After some time, the old soldier said that he would never forget the expression on her face at that time. There was contempt in it, deep contempt. She hated the smell of blood on his body and hated his bloodstained hands. She hated how dirty he was too.”

The dried blood between their fingers was cleaned. He placed her hands back into the creek to rinse them. As he held the pair of hands that were stained with blood just like his, he slowly lifted his eyelids and looked at her intently. His voice was clean and cool like the flowing stream. “After that, the old soldier initiated a breakup and ended his relations.h.i.+p. A long time pa.s.sed and the old soldier retired. It was said that he found a nurse as his wife, a nurse that interacted with blood just like him.”

“I heard this story on the fourth day I entered the military unit. It was a realistic story that saddens people’s hearts. I kept thinking that if it was me, what would I have done?”
