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

Ye Jian glared… If he dared to do anything else, she was contemplating whether to teach him a lesson by raising her knee.

If they made a ruckus and attracted the sentinels' attention, it would be unfortunate.

No matter how capable or calm Ye Jian was, it was her first time in the military headquarters. She was really stunned by Xia Jinyuan's bold act.

She didn't dare to act lightly either… Ye Jian began to force herself to calm down. Only then was she be able to face it with composure.

His finger had not left her chin. He raised her chin and made eye contact with her. Ye Jian didn't evade his gaze and quietly listened to his deep voice. Xia Jinyuan smiled vaguely, "And we're so familiar with each other. Why would you be afraid of my gaze? Unless…"

Unless what?

As he paused intentionally, Ye Jian, who managed to regain her composure, removed Xia Jinyuan's hand from her chin and looked at him. "It's because we're too familiar with each other. That's why I was afraid of saying something wrong and you would correct me in front of the leader and make him feel disappointed in me."

"Your eyes are sharp. I needed to take every word seriously and think twice before speaking. I was afraid of you thinking that I was exaggerating. After all, you know a lot about me."

If she had said was what she was thinking about, then… Xia Jinyuan's grin faded away and he stood up, staring at her silently.

After some time, the corner of his mouth curved up. "No, Ye Jian. No matter how familiar the person is, you should never be scared of him. At the very least, never easily say that you are afraid."

"Outside, there is danger everywhere. Once you're scared, there will be flaws."

His gaze was colder than hers, so cold that you could feel it in the bones. "When executing a mission, your fears will become your weaknesses, and your every move will become the enemies' best target."

The aura that enveloped him was no longer gentle, but cold and harsh when he faced soldiers. Ye Jian regained her composure and got a grip on her emotions. The ambiguity between the two dissipated and only solemnity remained.

"I understand what you mean. Were you testing me just now?"

Xia Jinyuan raised his eyebrows, "That's right. I was testing you because I realized that whenever I take notice of you, your gaze would flicker unnaturally."

"Ye Jian, if you want to be part of the Special Forces, you will need to be able to control your emotions in any public space. Don't let your emotions control your eyes, but use your eyes to control your emotions instead."

Xia Jinyuan wanted to test her when he was pouring the water. If he wanted to bring her forward, then that small habit of hers would have to be corrected by him!

He wanted to bring his little fox to a place much higher and much further away. Any problems that he found on her must be corrected in time!

Ye Jian didn't realize that the dubious move… was actually to test her. She hated herself for failing to notice it and thinking about something that she shouldn't be thinking about!

She stood upright and accepted Xia Jinyuan's harsh criticism and advice.
