Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don't Mess Around! - Chapter 74

Chapter 74: Don’t Mess With Me

Xia Jinyuan, who liked asking tough questions, had always been a headache to his family since he was a child.

Everyone in his family thought Xia Jinyuan was a little monster. Nevertheless, the little monster passed the military school entrance exam in the first try and made various contributions several times. Thus, he had become a Major at the age of twenty, the youngest Major in his whole family.

With such a brilliant son, Commander Xia didn’t feel dispirited any longer. To this day, Commander Xia had been very proud and elated since Xia Jinyuan was fourteen.

He was so proud of his son that he showed no sign of anger when Xia Jinyuan surprised him with an unexpected phone call.

“Contact Political Commissar Zhang of the Nanguang Military District,” Commander Xia turned around and went into his room to put on his military overcoat. And then, he headed to the study.

The military unit stationed deep inside the mountain of Fujun Town was subordinate to the Nanguang Military District.

It was getting late. After midnight, it became foggy.

Ye Jian had been standing in front of the window for so long that she lost track of the time. She didn’t come to herself until she felt a bit wet. As she raised her eyes, she found a vague gray-white lining upon the horizon far away.

It was five o’clock in the morning…

Although she had been awake all night, Ye Jian didn’t feel sleepy at all. While the bugle in the New Recruit Camp was blowing, she washed her face and rinsed her mouth swiftly. Two minutes later, Ye Jian, who had packed her textbooks, appeared in the cafeteria in time.

All Ye Jian needed to do was to help the cooking team wash vegetables and do some cleaning. With her help, the cooking team could get breakfast and dinner prepared for the whole week.

Ye Jian had been here for two weeks. Thanks to her diligence, agility, and hardworking attitude, every soldier in the New Recruit Camp had known about her.

“Morning.”

“You are awake so early? Come and enjoy these delicious fresh steamed buns stuffed with pickles. We also have eggs and steamed buns. So, please help yourself.” The leader—a Northeastern—of the cooking team asked Ye Jian to have more breakfast as soon as he saw her entering the cafeteria.

Every soldier in the cooking team thought that Ye Jian was a bit short and slim, and believed that she could become taller and stronger if she consumed more cooked wheaten food.

Perhaps she had been eating more nutritious food in the past two weeks, Ye Jian did feel she had grown much taller. After greeting the soldiers, she started to have breakfast and cleaned up the kitchen at the same time.

She would keep tidying up the kitchen until 6:30 AM when she would head to school.

She liked trotting to school. In that way, she could get some exercise and enhance her physical ability.

Gao Yiyang, who was riding a bicycle, saw Ye Jian running alongside the national road once again. After a momentary hesitation, with a tough look on his handsome face, he pursed his lips, pedaling his bicycle to chase after Ye Jian.

First, he surpassed Ye Jian. Later, he stopped abruptly, turning around with both hands twisting the bicycle head, thus blocking Ye Jian’s way.

He completed a series of actions so fast that he didn’t consider whether he would startle others or not. Just like that, he unexpectedly obstructed Ye Jian from her trotting.

Thinking about what happened last night, Ye Jian gave a rather tough response. Automatically, she raised her foot and kicked violently towards the crossbar in the middle of the bicycle.

…

Gao Yiyang had no idea that Ye Jian would kick his bike. Dumbstruck, he watched Ye Jian, with a cold and tough look on her face, raising her foot as quick as a streak of lightning and kicking his bike without any hesitation.

Clang! Bang! Gao Yiyang, who was knocked onto the ground along with his bike, still hadn’t realized what was going on.

Astounded, he stared at Ye Jian with the usual cold look on his naive and handsome face. Moments later, gritting his teeth, he questioned Ye Jian, “What are you doing?!”
