Chapter 476 - Distance of Only Half A Finger’s Width
Chapter 476: Distance of Only Half A Finger’s Width
Within only a few moments of meeting her, this Army’s Lieutenant General had acknowledged Ye Jian’s ability and was impressed by all of her aspects.
When facing Ye Jian’s military salute, the three colonels all wore grim expressions on their faces while they saluted her back. Only after they had put down their right hands did they smile at Ye Jian. They spoke a few words with Ye Jian before leaving one by one.
After the three heavy-weight leaders had left the room, even the air inside the large meeting room was circulating much better. Xia Jinyuan watched as she sneakily patted her chest. He couldn’t help but cock his brows and snicker, “And here I thought you weren’t afraid. It’s just that you hid it well.”
“Sit down; I’ll pour you a cup of water. Since you’ve spoken so much and pulled an all-nighter, it’s better not to lose your voice when boarding the plane early in the morning. The reason you’re accompanying us this time is to establish an intimate connection between the students of our countries. We must let them know our country’s sincerity.”
Ye Jian only knew that she was going to a country that had only become peaceful after a war. As to which specific country and why the country’s leaders chose to go there at this time, those aren’t things that she is allowed to know.
Hearing that, she sat down on the large, full meeting room chair and let out a long breath of relief. She exclaimed while laughing: “I wasn’t afraid at the start, but near the end, I say, Captain Xia, are you always this unbridled even in front of leaders? You kept staring at me! I was still fine before that, but after being glanced at you from time to time, it made me so nervous. I thought I’d said something wrong.”
Xia Jinyuan, who was pouring water, heard her words. A dark light flashed through his deep pupils; then, a smile attached itself onto his thin lips.
He walked over and put a cup of water into her hands. His slender eyebrows cocked upwards very slightly, and he asked with a whisper: “Then that’s weird. When the bigshot leaders are here, you weren’t even nervous; instead, you became nervous because I looked at you more than once. That isn’t logical.”
“It is logical, because of you…” Before she managed to finish her sentence, Xia Jinyuan, who was sitting on the meeting room table, suddenly bent his waist. Ye Jian, who was sipping water with her head down, was on guard. Because he unexpectedly lowered his body, she subconsciously looked upwards, now the distance between the two of them was much smaller.
… so close that the distance between the tip of his handsome nose and the tip of her nose was only half of a finger’s width!
Her star-like eyes became enlarged as she looked at the man who was within her reach. Even if she immediately held her breath, it was still unavoidable that his breathing would enter into her chest.
Her pupils constricted to the point that the only thing she could see in the world was him.
She unnaturally bit tighter onto her lower lip. Ye Jian steadied her thoughts, then asked: “You should first stand up. If you have something to say, let’s do it properly. Don’t be too close. From a medical standpoint, two people being so close to each other isn’t beneficial to breathing; they’ll breathe in each other’s carbon dioxide. There would also be cross-infection phenomena…”
What exactly was it that she wanted to say! Ye Jian, who couldn’t withstand it anymore, leaned back with her body. Even her head tilted back while her legs stomped on the ground in the hopes of pushing the chair alongside her away.
She couldn’t move it at all. A gray carpet was laid across the floor, and the chair was a bow foot chair. She couldn’t push herself away.
“That’s not logical. My rank isn’t as high as theirs, nor do I have a stronger military might. There’s no need even to mention our achievements; we aren’t even comparable. So then, why are you afraid of my gaze? That isn’t logical.” While saying that, he used his thumb to rub against her elegant chin that was as pure as a pearl. Ye Jian’s whole body instantly became frozen. Her pupils constricted to the size of a needlepoint. Because of his intimate actions, She was so frightened that even her toes curled up.
Is he crazy? This is inside the military area. It was a meeting room! Are there any cameras here? Will anyone see this?
