Chapter 997: I’ll Wait For Your Return
From the moment they started their journey till they returned to their country took ten days while Ye Jian1 used eleven days to return to Yunnan province. After the mission was complete, she signed a confidentiality agreement and returned directly to Yunnan.
Not on a commercial flight back to Yunnan, what she boarded was a transport plane.
Xia Jinyuan2, who was seeing her board, spoke with tight lips, “Are you confident you’ll be able to reach school this afternoon? Are you going to drive yourself to school after reaching the Yunnan Air Force base?
“Yep, I’ve already left school for so long; if I don’t report back in, even I would be afraid that the school would start deciding to expel me.” Ye Jian, who was walking towards the transport plane, eyed him suspiciously. “I’ll certainly have to return to school, you know, why, is something the matter?”
Xia Jinyuan glanced at her, his refined and handsome face revealed a helpless smile, “Why is it Wednesday today? If it was Saturday or Sunday, then you could’ve taken a day’s rest before heading back to school.”
They could’ve finally rested today, but his little fox still needed to run about for a day,… it’s too exhausting.
“Or you could get a good night’s rest today and then report to school tomorrow. You’re not in such a hurry that you need to rush back to school in a day. It’s going to be the same if you went tomorrow.” Xia Jinyuan went ahead and tried to persuade Ye Jian to skip classes and get a good day’s rest.
With a boyfriend who was thinking of making her skip classes for absurd reasons, Ye Jian rubbed her forehead. She sighed: “Captain Xia, you’ve said this before, the most important mission for me right now is to study well and not overthink about other things. And I truly want to study well right now. I don’t want to waste any time on wishy-washy things.”
“How many days have I skipped classes? Eleven days! If I don’t report in now, I’m scared I’ll get expelled by the school.”
……
Getting expelled by the school truly sounds severe!
Xia Jinyuan went silent, then let out a long sigh, “Your studies are still important. When you return to Yunnan, give me a call…” Before he finished his sentence, he zipped his mouth. He couldn’t use any telecommunications for half a month, because they’ll be under military surveillance.
The transport plane was already on the runway, the gale blowing from the rotating propeller caused a buzzing sound to appear in Ye Jian’s voice.
Xia Jinyuan, who couldn’t clearly hear what she had said, followed up with a question and received her wave and a smile as the answer. Without turning back, she ran towards the aircraft hatch. As the hatch door closed up, Xia Jinyuan could only see Ye Jian go further and further away from his sight.
Ye Jian said: I’ll wait for your return, to put on your uniform.
She still remembered that she’d wait for his return in Yunnan and personally retrieve his uniform kept in her custody.
After resting for several hours on the transport plane, Ye Jian did not dally. After leaving the air force base, she drove the car borrowed from Hou Zi and headed in the direction of the provincial city.
Five o’clock in the afternoon, it was when First Provincial High ended their day of classes. Once the bell rings, the whole school compound buzzes to life.
Ye Jian, who wore thin clothing, took out her student ID and went towards her dormitory after being sized up by the guards multiple times.
With the weather in November, she was still wearing a short-sleeved shirt, and she attracted the attention of people wherever she walked inside the school.
Adding to the fact that quite a lot of people knew her, after noticing she was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt, their first sentence was all the same: “What did you do? Why are you wearing short sleeves? Aren’t you cold?”
She didn’t have any clothes to put on…, so she could only wear the sportswear she changed into on the night she and Xia Jinyuan entered the mountains. Her jacket was stained with blood so she could only wear short sleeves.
She also didn’t have a school uniform, so she’ll have to look for the logistics department and ask if they have any new uniforms.
With a basketball in his hands, Yang Heng, who was about to shoot a few hoops before heading for dinner, only noticed Ye Jian, who came wearing short sleeves after being reminded by his classmates. He shoved the ball into the arms of his classmates, “You guys head on first, and I’ll be right behind you.”
