Chapter 1610: Demon King Is Awkward
Big Shuttle didn’t know how to answer his captain’s question. This was a woman’s privacy. How should he tell his unmarried commander?
As for his other unmarried comrade, Big Eel, he was easy to deal with. He said directly, “Big Eel, go to the side. Don’t cause trouble.”
“Why am I causing trouble? I’m just standing and listening to you. I’m not disturbing you. I’m also….” Before Big Eel could finish speaking, he received the Demon King’s indifferent gaze. He reacted quickly and turned back, walking forward. He didn’t dare to stay.
After he left, Li Jinnian asked in a tense voice, “What happened?” There was something wrong with Azure Bird’s body. Was it so serious that she needed to hide it from her comrades?
Ye Jian was a female soldier. Normally, her training was no different from a male soldier. But now, her body was in bad condition. As the captain, Li Jinnian had to care more.
After sending away his comrade, Big Shuttle, who was still deliberating in front of his captain, cleared his throat and said vaguely, “It’s not a big deal. Captain, you just need to know that it’s not a big deal. Ye Jian can solve it herself.”
“What’s with the hot water?” The bachelor, Li Jinnian, still hadn’t reacted. It wasn’t that his reaction was slow. It was just that he had never encountered such a situation before, so his reaction was naturally slow.
Big Shuttle was married. He was 31-years-old, and his child was already three. A male soldier who had a wife would always know more about women. Seeing that his wise and mighty Demon King didn’t understand, Big Shuttle sighed and said, “Demon King, it’s time for you to find a girlfriend. Ye Jian is uncomfortable because of what happens to girls every month. Middle school students….”
“I understand.” As soon as he mentioned it, Li Jinnian reacted instantly. His expression was a little stiff as he interrupted Big Shuttle and said in his usual cold tone, “Hot water…. How do you think we should solve this?”
Big Shuttle looked around. It was not easy to solve this problem. There needed to be a fire to get hot water. It was not suitable to start a fire here. “Let’s wait for Ye Jian to suggest it. We will… pretend that we don’t know so that she won’t feel awkward.”
Pretending not to know was indeed a way to resolve the awkwardness. When Ye Jian came back, she realized that the Demon King was already carrying her equipment. Seeing that she was coming over, he said calmly, “You don’t look very good. We will take turns carrying your equipment.”
He didn’t say anything else. His business-like tone seemed to be telling Ye Jian that they made this arrangement because they didn’t want to affect their marching speed.
Ye Jian noticed a subtle atmosphere. For instance, when the Demon King was talking to her, he didn’t look at her. Instead, he looked away.
This was not the Demon King’s style at all.
Li Jinnian suddenly felt that he couldn’t bear Ye Jian’s gaze. He lowered his head and looked at the time to cover his unnatural expression. “There are seven minutes left. Have a rest.”
After he finished speaking, he carried Ye Jian’s equipment and left.
Ye Jian couldn’t help but squint as she stared at his hasty back view. She didn’t say anything. He left immediately after he finished speaking. Something was obviously wrong.
Her gaze was very realistic, especially when she was only looking at one spot. Although it was faint and not aggressive, it had a sharpness that could see through people’s hearts. Li Jinnian, who was carrying a luggage bag on his back, couldn’t help but walk faster.
It was good that she didn’t know. If she knew, she would feel awkward. He should take care of her. When it was time to take care of her, he should take care of her so that… he wouldn’t appear unreasonable.
