Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Freeze!” yelled the soldiers. Doctor Zhou, drenched in cold sweat, leaned against the wall and sat on the cold floor slowly.

Wind was blowing out from the room without a door. Ye Jian, who was previously relieved, became slightly nervous. Why was the night wind blowing from the room with its windows closed?

As if something had occurred to her, she screamed, “Xia Jinyuan! Downstairs!!” Meanwhile, she dashed towards the first floor like a flying arrow.

She was acting so fast that Xia Jinyuan couldn’t find a chance to speak.

While he was chasing after Ye Jian, he pressed his earpiece to hear his comrades deployed at the back of the building reporting the situations. He instructed them in a deep voice, “Control the targets and escort them out of here tonight! Battalion Commander Yang, inform the power supply bureau to resume the power.”

Within ten seconds after his instruction, following a transient flickering of the electric lamps, the power was restored to the entire Fujun Town.

Xia Jinyuan slowed down his chasing pace as he arrived at the brightly lit hotel lobby. Quietly, he looked at the slender figure standing at the entrance to the hotel.

He didn’t start walking slowly towards her until a while later. Smiling, he said, “Weren’t you brilliant just now? Why are you upset all of a sudden?”

Alas, she was just a little girl. Amazing as she was, she was still a child after all.

And her emotions were as mercurial and unpredictable as the sky in June.

Ye Jian had recognized his footsteps as he chased her to the first floor.

She remained silent for a while. Sighing gently, she raised her black and bright eyes to gaze at him, “I’ve seen the gap. The gap between you and me.”

...

“How old am I? And how old are you?” Xia Jinyuan, shocked by her, gave a wry smile. Seeing the serious look on her face, he had to stop smiling. He coughed and comforted her, “You are incredibly amazing already. My comrades and I are impressed by your ventriloquism.”

How old am I? The answer will terrify you!

Seeing Xia Jinyuan turning into an empathetic soldier, Ye Jian pursed her lips. After a light twinkled in her eyes, a smile gradually appeared on her bright and pretty little face. “It has nothing to do with age. It’s the environment that matters.”

No matter what she had learned, without receiving the systematic command education, she was not as good as other soldiers. That was why she panicked when she discovered the targets had escaped by jumping out the windows.

What kind of person was Xia Jinyuan? Was it possible that he had made no arrangements?

“Environment?” Xia Jinyuan raised his eyebrows. He didn’t nod with approval until he had pondered for a while. Smiling, he looked at the girl who could reflect upon her failure and answered her seriously, “It does have something to do with the environment. But at the end of the day, it depends on personal efforts.”

“Currently, a Class A Master Sergeant and a world-class sniper are educating you. Your environment is superior to that of numerous people in this world! Since your tutors have created the environment for you, all you need to do is to try harder.”

“You must cherish their painstaking efforts!” His voice became especially stern as he spoke. “One more thing. If you want to become a soldier, I have to remind you, the first thing you need to learn is obedience!”

...

He was going to discipline Ye Jian now that the clash was over. However, the moment Ye Jian moved a step, trying to escape quietly, Xia Jinyuan grabbed her shoulder using his big hand. “Trying to flee?”

His fake smiling tone made Ye Jian feel a bit embarrassed. Straightening her back, she turned around and looked at him, apologizing swiftly, “Sorry, my bad! But I don’t think I will make the same mistake next time!”
