Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don t Mess Around! - Chapter 305

Chapter 305: A Declaration of Ownership

Yang Jin extinguished the butter lamp, bringing darkness into the tent. She did not dare to sleep with the injured Ye Jian and opted to sleep on another Tibetan quilt that she had just brought out.

Outside the tent, Xia Jinyuan gave a cold look. “Uncle Chen, given Ye Jian’s injury, it would be inconvenient for her to move around. I will stand on guard here tonight. I will let Yang Jin take care of her 24 hours later. The injury might be serious, but her constitution is good. As long as there is no inflammation, it should recover quickly.”

“Good, having you around puts my heart at ease, it’s just that…” Principal Chen glanced at Han Zheng and the rest and told them directly. “I want to speak to him regarding some private matters, the rest of you should go and rest.”

Private matters were definitely not meant for their ears. Moreover, they could sort of guess what the topic was.

Han Zheng smiled and patted Xia Jinyuan’s shoulder. “Too much happiness will bring you misery, Major Xia.” Han Zheng whispered before leaving.

Holding on to a lady, calling her ‘Little Fox’ – like a declaration of ownership. It was as if he was afraid of the others taking a few more glances.

A few moments ago, when he unintentionally looked at Ye Jian’s revealed shoulder, he was swept away by Major Xia’s glare. It felt as though he was going to devour him.

Babes before mates! It was good that Uncle Chen can discipline him.

What Principal Chen wanted to talk about was indeed related to Ye Jian. However, the contents were not known to Han Zheng and the others, not even Ye Jian herself.

It was already 1 am and even though the temperature outside was low, it was still warm and fuzzy inside the tent.

Currently, they were not at Uncle Cizha’s house, but another herdsman’s home now.

The male and female owners went to Dema’s house, leaving their three children behind. Uncle Chen took on the task of helping them take care of their family until they were back.

There was a fire burning brightly in the fireplace, providing warmth to those who sat around it. The comfort it brought made people feel lazy.

Xia Jinyuan did not speak, choosing to wait for Principal Chen to start the conversation.

“You have other thoughts about Jian. Am I right?” He did not beat around the bush, choosing to go straight to the point immediately after he sat down. “I can see that Major Xia is a bit interested in Jian. If it’s just momentary, an infatuation, I advise you not to bother an orphan like her.”

These words carried a lot of weight.

However, it was all to protect the Little Fox. He was truly concerned about her.

Xia Jinyuan smiled. “Uncle Chen, I had never thought of bothering Ye Jian and it is not an infatuation. Over the past year, although I wasn’t around, the things that brought calm to me were the matters about Ye Jian and me.”

“But thinking too much doesn’t mean that there has to be progress. I believe you know that Ye Jian is still young, she’s still a high school student. Even if I have that thought, my priority is to take care of her and not those improper thoughts.”

“Furthermore, she has always been very vigilant, especially towards the opposite sex, something similar to social phobia. The situation was serious a year ago, but now there is a big improvement. Her weakness is in handling and dealing with relationships between the opposite sex.”

“You and Grandpa Gen wish to send her to the military to train her. Based on her abilities, she would not be assigned to units with many female soldiers. After thorough selection, she would be sent to the frontlines for combat. But if there are any problems with interacting with the opposite gender, it would have a great impact on her military career.”

Xia Jinyuan was an exemplary man who knew his way around words. He was also adept in analytical skills and could stand in the shoes of others.

Every sentence that he had said hit close to Principal Chen’s heart.
