He walked closer and closer as he laughed softly. It didn’t make Ye Jian afraid and wanted to run away. Instead, she was afraid that she would get lost in his gentleness.
He got closer to her slowly and gently. He was like silk. He would entangle around you without you noticing until you were not able to escape. Then, you get entrapped in his web of gentleness.
This feeling caused Ye Jian to feel anxious and flustered. She knew she could believe him… believe the sense of security his lethal gentleness could provide for her.
“There’s nothing we can do now. Don’t forget that we made a pact. We will understand each other before dating. This is our promise. Captain Xia, I think that you haven’t forgotten that, right?”
He was too close, so close that her mind was in a mess. His aura and his gentleness messed up her heart.
Ye Jian took a deep breath secretly and tried to calm her palpitating heart. She looked up at the man whose entire body seemed to be engulfing her. She saw her small figure in his eyes. She also saw a small smile in his eyes. She pursed her lips and said calmly, “You’re right. I shouldn’t reject you. This will ignite your desire to conquer.”
It looked like she got anxious because of his action. That’s good. She was just anxious, not afraid.
The smile on the edge of his lips got deeper, so deep that the leisurely aura made him appear drunk. He gave off the sexiest aura of a man when he smiled. “However, I like it when you reject me. Although you reject me, you still accept me.”
There were two more years before she graduated from senior high. There was enough time for her to accept him getting close to her… Every time he met her, he would try to shorten the distance between them.
Now, she was just nervous and not afraid. This proved that unknowingly, their relationship had gotten better.
Ye Jian’s thoughts were all revealed by Xia Jinyuan. She raised her hand and rubbed her forehead lightly.
Indeed, she had always been accepting Xia Jinyuan amidst her resistance. Did that mean… that she needed to be honest about her secret?
Should she find a chance to tell Xia Jinyuan her past frankly and open her heart to accept this man that gave her a sense of security?
Could she stretch her hand out… and hold his hand?
Ye Jian couldn’t deny that when she looked at the gentle eyes of Xia Jinyuan in front of her, she had a desire to do that.
However, the impulse just appeared in her heart for an instant like a firework. When the light disappears, her impulse goes along with it.
Grandpa Gen and Uncle Chen taught her that women needed to stand upright and appear before everyone with the proudness of a woman.
Before she had the ability to do that, she needed to learn to be patient and wait for the opportunity to soar up into the sky.
No, it wasn’t the right moment for her to reveal her secret. She still needed some time to see if he could accept her.
After all, she was underage and he was still young.
“I admit that I’m learning to accept the Captain Xia, who still infiltrated into my room in the middle of the night although he is already so tired. If I reject him mercilessly, Captain Xia will probably be sad.” Ye Jian smiled and relaxed her tense heart and body.
Her reply made Major Xia even happier than he already was. He reached out and managed to hug the nervous little fox easily in his arms.
He smiled and sighed. “The relationship between two people is a process, a process of acceptance. I said that I will wait for the day you will accept me so I will.”
“You always like to think too much. You even asked me ‘what I want to do’. Little Fox, this kind of question is like a hint. You’re hinting to me that I can do something.”
