Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don’t Mess Around! Chapter 476

Chapter 476: Half A Finger Apart

One meeting was all it took for the lieutenant general to recognize Ye Jian’s ability and appreciate it.

Although the three colonels returned her salute back with stern expressions, they were all smiling at Ye Jian and advised her after lowering their right hands.

After they had left, everyone in the conference room relaxed. Xia Jinyuan watched as she patted her chest gently and couldn’t help but grin, “I thought you weren’t afraid. It turns out that you hid it well.”

“Sit down, I’ll pour you a gla.s.s of water to moisten your throat. You spoke so much and stayed up late. Don’t let your throat be hoa.r.s.e when you board the plane. This time, you’re building a bridge of friends.h.i.+p between the students of the countries. You need to let the other party feel our country’s sincerity.”

Ye Jian only knew that she was going to a country where war has only recently subsided. But as for which country and why the leaders had chosen to go there at this point in time, it was not something that she was to know.

Hearing that, she sat on the chair and took a deep breath. “I wasn’t really scared in the beginning. Later on, it was you… Captain Xia, are you so presumptuous even in front of the leaders? You kept staring at me! I was feeling okay but then when you glanced at me, I felt so nervous and thought that I’ve said something wrong.”

A dim light flashed across Xia Jinyuan’s dark eyes as he poured the water, and a slight grin surfaced on his face.

He approached and handed the gla.s.s to her and raised his eyebrows slightly, “That’s weird. You’re not nervous with the leader, but nervous when I looked at you. That doesn’t make sense.”

“It does, because you…” Before she even finished, Xia Jinyuan suddenly bent down. Ye Jian, who didn’t have her guard up, raised her head and looked up subconsciously. This time around, their distance was really getting close.

… The distance between their noses was only… half a finger apart!

Her bright eyes widened as she looked at him. Even if she stopped breathing immediately, there was a swirl of his breath circulating in her chest.

Her pupils gradually constricted… to the point where he was the only thing that she saw in her world.

Ye Jian bit her lower lip uncomfortably and calmed herself down. “Stand up first, let’s talk properly and not get too close. From a medical point of view, being too close is bad for breathing. Not only will you breathe in the carbon dioxide, but there will also be cross-contamination…”

What was she trying to say?! Unable to get ahold of herself, Ye Jian leaned back and her legs pressed against the floor, trying to inch away from Xia Jinyuan.

It was a useless attempt. The floor was carpeted and the chairs had no wheels. There was no way she could move it.

“It doesn’t. My rank is not as high as theirs. Not to mention my military experiences and qualifications. Completely incomparable. Why would you be afraid of me? It doesn’t make sense.” He gently rubbed her chin as he remarked. Ye Jian looked like she was cast in stone as her pupils contracted to the size of a pinhole. She was paralyzed by his affectionate actions and her toes were all tensed up.

Is he crazy? This is the military area, a conference room! Are there any surveillance cameras? Will anyone see this?
