Chapter 1810: Does It Hurt When It Comes Back To Bite You?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Speaking was indeed an art. The kind of person who sat at a certain height would definitely have a different understanding of things compared to people who sat at a different height.
The higher one stood, the more one could tell whether there was a deeper meaning to these words from just one sentence. Whether there was a hidden meaning behind these words, whether the person speaking wanted to secretly express something or what sort of mentality did the person speaking have when they said those words… All these could be found out.
As the leader of the troupe and someone who possessed an extremely high political upbringing, he could tell what Du Jiayi meant.
First: Ye Jian was a female soldier and she was very brave. However, she was too valiant and did not look like she was handling things well.
Second: As a female soldier, she was weaker than a male soldier. She knew that this was the case but she still persisted. This meant that she was a female soldier who liked to compete. She seemed to be lacking in composure.
Third: Since she chose to persevere, she was naturally tired after the incident and needed all the male soldiers to serve her. It would appear that she lacked the arduous spirit a soldier should have.
Fourth: The male soldiers were not strict enough when it came to handling matters. They were also overly concerned about the female soldier, making their relations.h.i.+p seem a little messy.
This was the leader’s understanding from Du Jiayi’s words. However, it could not be denied that if this performance-loving female soldier had not persisted for three hours and gritted her teeth to save them, they would probably still be in the truck, scared.
Hence, the instructor smiled and said, “You’re right. We have to reward the soldiers who risked their lives to save us tonight. Ye Jian, it’s been hard on you tonight. If it weren’t for you, we would probably still be in the truck.”
Then, he said earnestly, “However, you have to think twice before doing something like this. Don’t tire yourself out too much.”
After all, he was not a soldier from the troupe. Even if he wanted to give some pointers, he could only say a few words in a reserved manner. If he said too much, it would incur resentment.
Liu Yuan gently weighed the bag with the medications. The soft sounds seemed to be interrupting the leader’s words. Then, she smiled at Ye Jian with kindness and grat.i.tude.
Hearing this, Ye Jian, who already knew what to do, said politely, “You’re right. My comrades were also worried that I’d throw off the balance if I climbed up. If I wasn’t careful, the entire truck would have fallen off the cliff. Fortunately, I’m light. Although my comrades were nervous, I could still complete the mission entrusted to me by my comrades.”
Ye Jian was never a pushover. Faced with Du Jiayi’s grat.i.tude and hidden words, as well as the advice of a higher-up, she politely tried to explain why a female soldier like her was the one who climbed up the truck’s roof.
“You all must have thought it through. That’s why we’re all safe.” The higher-up was enlightened. He was affected by Du Jiayi’s words but now, he looked at Ye Jian with a gentle gaze. “You’re very brave. You’re bold and quick-witted. Good job, Ye Jian! Our army needs female soldiers like you.”
As he spoke, he looked at Du Jiayi. Then, he turned her head and looked at the other soldiers who had yet to recover from their shock. He sighed and said, “Jiayi, all of you need to learn from her. The truck just shook a little yet all of you were so scared that you screamed. Meanwhile, Ye Jian was lying on the roof of the truck alone. She could still remain calm and continue to save us.. You have to learn from her courage.”
