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

2810 Hello Xia Jinyuan felt uncomfortable. Then, he raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Ye Jian, what tea do you want? I’ll brew it later.”

She just wanted to drink plain water and walk her own path without looking sideways.

She only knew that her footsteps were still stiff. With every step she took, there seemed to be a scraping sound in her joints.

She didn’t dare to talk to Captain Xia anymore. She didn’t dare to say anything.

His girlfriend didn’t reply to him at all, but she was just beside him. In the end, he still needed his cousin-in-law to convey his words. Lieutenant Colonel Xia rubbed his temples worriedly.

“Don’t be nervous. Grandpa and Grandma are very kind. They’ve wanted to see you for a long time. When they received the news just now and knew that you came with the old man, my grandfather was very happy.”

Since she didn’t want to talk to him, then he would talk to her—even if his cousin-in-law was between them. He didn’t believe that his cousin-in-law wouldn’t move aside when he saw this.

As it turned out, Li Jinnian was not an ordinary person either. He didn’t move away and walked in the middle, making Xia Jinyuan worry alone.

Ye Jian, who was looking straight ahead, only saw the old man’s back. As for what the Xia family’s old residence was like, she said to Xia Jinyuan, “My mind is completely blank. I only know how far away the back garden is.”

Xia Jinyuan laughed for a long time.

“Don’t feel burdened. Look at how calm Cousin-in-law is. He’s not nervous at all. With him and me accompanying you, you can relax. After you meet my Grandma, I’ll bring you around to familiarize yourself with the old residence. You won’t be unfamiliar with it when you come over next time.”

His cousin-in-law maintained his position in the middle. Lieutenant Colonel Xia had no choice but to chat with his girlfriend through his cousin-in-law, trying to get her to relax.

After meeting… Grandma… Ye Jian, who hadn’t looked at him, finally reacted. She looked up and glanced at him quickly. She felt her palms sweating again.

She was so nervous that she forgot that Captain Xia had a grandma. She hadn’t seen Grandma Xia…

“I’ll go over and invite my Grandma over now. Accompany the old men to the tea room. I’ll be back soon.” Xia Jinyuan finally got Ye Jian to look at him. His gaze was gentle, and he couldn’t help but look at her again.

Their gazes met at the back of Li Jinnian’s head. Xia Jinyuan saw the nervousness in Ye Jian’s eyes, and Ye Jian saw the gentleness in his eyes.

He deliberately stayed half a step behind Li Jinnian and pointed at himself. “I’m here.”

A smile appeared in Ye Jian’s black eyes. He was telling her that with him around, there was nothing to be nervous about.

That was right. With Captain Xia around, she didn’t have to be nervous. With him accompanying her, everything would be fine. Everything would be smooth sailing. She didn’t have to be too nervous with him around.

She smiled at him. Her eyes were like crescent moons on the treetops—bright and elegant. Xia Jinyuan couldn’t help but smile.

When they went to the tea room in the back garden, Xia Jinyuan went to invite the old madam over. The old madam had already received the news. Now, with Aunt Fang’s help, her steps were much larger than usual.

Aunt Fang was so anxious that she reminded her, “Slow down. Be careful not to fall.”

“I can’t be slow. When I think of my granddaughter-in-law, my heart skips a beat. I’ve never seen her. Now that she’s here, how can I be slow?”

Old Madam Xia didn’t want to slow down at all. She was afraid that if she did, her granddaughter-in-law would leave. She smiled and said, “The child is fated with our Xia family. In the past, I only knew that she was an orphan, but she was steady and motivated. Those who saw her said that she’s a good child. I was happy when I heard that.”
