Xia Jinyuan always knew that Ye Jian listened to him. She would remember every word he said.

Every time he heard her say that she remembered his words, his heart could not help but soften.

“Good girl, my baby.” Xia Jinyuan lowered his head and kissed her forehead with a smile. Suddenly, he bent down and picked her up when Ye Jian wasn’t paying attention. He smiled and said, “Don’t move. I can’t use my strength casually now. If you move, you might slide out of my hands.”

Ye Jian didn’t dare to move. She was afraid that if she struggled, his wound would open up. She grabbed his clothes tightly and looked at him unhappily. “Even if I don’t move, you can’t bend down and pick me up. Aren’t you afraid that the wound will open up? No wonder the commander said that you’re a bastard and sent so many people to guard you!”

“They’ve really protected me this time.” Xia Jinyuan sneered. The person he had been thinking about had arrived. It didn’t matter whether he was being guarded or not. He carried her to the bed and couldn’t help but lower his head to kiss her red lips. He said gently, “You only have an hour to accompany me in bed.”

How could Ye Jian refuse? It was best for him to rest in bed since he was injured.

Ye Jian didn’t dare to lie in his arms. She lay on her side and only dared to rest her head on his shoulder. She hugged his arm with both hands and listened to him talk about the danger he encountered this time.

“I was interrogated when I got back, but fortunately, I wasn’t the one carrying the most responsibility. I was fine after a few lashes. They were all minor injuries. They didn’t even break my skin.”

The two of them lay on the narrow bed and whispered about the dangerous things that happened. No matter how dangerous it was, Xia Jinyuan’s narration made everything seem fine.

“Then, my mission was completed. While they were exchanging fire, I decided to add another mission at the last minute. I triggered a hidden alarm and was penetrated by shrapnel. That’s why I was injured.

“There’s nothing too serious with the injury. I’ve already gotten it checked out. I’ll be out of the hospital in three days after getting anti-inflammatory drips.”

He said it in a faint and smiling tone. The bloody gunfight that happened sounded like a child’s fight in his words. Ye Jian couldn’t help but get up a little. She looked down at the man lying flat and caressed his handsome face.

She didn’t say much because they understood each other.

They were both dressed in the same uniform and went on the same high-risk missions. They really understood each other.

Sigh. She had planned to teach him a lesson, but now she could not bear to.

It was normal for him not to recognize her when he was on a mission. It would be too unreasonable for him to continue pursuing her even though he was injured.

Her gentle touch made Xia Jinyuan smile. He closed his eyes and felt her loving gaze. She used her fingers to draw his face bit by bit.

From his eyebrows to his eyes and to the tip of his nose and his lips, her fingers gently stroked his features. Then, she kissed him with her delicate lips.

She kissed his forehead, eyes, and the tip of his nose before finally stopping at his lips. She ran the soft tip of her tongue lightly over them, then nimbly slipped it inside to dance with his tongue.

“Little Fox…” he called softly. He reached out and pulled Ye Jian, who was kissing him, into his arms. “I’m not that fragile yet. I’ll be fine if I avoid the wound.”

Ye Jian kissed his thin lips and his handsome chin. “Lie down. I want to see your injury.”

“What’s to look at? It’s been wrapped up with gauze. You won’t be able to see it even if you want to.” The re-stitched wound… To be honest, it was a little hideous. He was afraid to let her see it, in case she felt sorry for him.
