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

Chapter 5487: Chapter 5487: Being Beautiful is Good (Ace Military Marriage Renamed)

Trying on red outfits during the New Year, particularly for young couples, is mostly in preparation for marriage, and the salesperson, seizing the opportunity, eagerly went on about this.

Although Xia Jinyuan was amused by the salesperson’s flattery, he was well aware that the salesperson’s words were somewhat exaggerated. But, he was willing to play along!

”Right, let me give it a try.” The smile on Xia Jinyuan’s handsome face was truly impossible to hide. From Ye Jian’s perspective, it looked like... he was eager to get married tomorrow.

Watching Xia Jinyuan like this, Ye Jian just wanted to facepalm and then take a picture to show everyone. But after thinking it over, she couldn’t bear to share—her man was hers alone.

It was the first time Xia Jinyuan was putting shoes on his girlfriend. Holding Ye Jian’s delicate and petite foot, Xia Jinyuan took an extra moment to look and silently compared it in his hand; it was indeed small, just fitting his grasp.

Ye Jian felt a burning heat in his palm, and her leg involuntarily drew back, but the quick-reacting Xia Jinyuan held on tight and slipped on the high heels for her.

”There, stand up and give it a try.” Xia Jinyuan stood up, helping Ye Jian to her feet. Despite seeming calm, his heart was tumultuous, badly wanting to carry his girl home and keep her there.

The high heels accentuated the lines of Ye Jian’s legs, making her long legs appear even finer and straighter. Paired with the red dress, her aura was starkly different from when she first walked in.

”Hold me steady, I need to get up slowly.” As soon as Ye Jian stood up, she felt unstable. Xia Jinyuan immediately held her tightly, his thin lips turning up gently as he said warmly, ”If you fall, I’ve got your back. Be brave.”

His girl was truly... adorable to the core. She had never been this nervous on the battlefield – a dress and a pair of high heels had her shaking in her boots.

Ye Jian was genuinely scared.

But the salesperson thought that as long as the person was beautiful, even falling down would look graceful!

”It’s still not suitable for me.” Ye Jian looked pathetically at Xia Jinyuan.

”You’ll get used to it gradually. Take a few steps, I’ll support you.” Xia Jinyuan was still worried about Ye Jian falling, holding her tightly.

Supported by Xia Jinyuan, Ye Jian took a few steps but felt truly uncomfortable. The heels weren’t even that high, she recalled seeing Du Jiayi at the hospital today, walking as if on flat ground in what must have been ten-centimeter high heels—a truly formidable person.

Ye Jian felt that constantly being supported made her feel disabled; she was still struggling to accept this feeling.

”I’d better switch to flat shoes. An unstable center of gravity severely affects mobility, and the balance is very poor; a slight mishap could lead to a fall,” Ye Jian pinpointed the core issue. High heels paired with a red dress indeed looked beautiful, but they really weren’t for her.

However, Xia Jinyuan didn’t see it that way. As he helped Ye Jian outside, two gentlemen sitting on a sofa nearby saw Ye Jian come out. The look of awe was obvious in their eyes as they kept staring at her.

Thus, unbeknownst to Ye Jian, Comrade Xia got jealous again.

Seeing Xia Jinyuan agree, Ye Jian sat down and quickly took off the high heels as if they were hot potatoes.

”How about trying these clothes?” Xia Jinyuan pointed to the clothes in the hands of the salesperson next to them and those laid out on the sofa.

”So many?” Ye Jian’s courage was faltering. She looked more like she was facing trouble rather than feeling delighted. ”Isn’t it enough to have enough clothes to wear? Besides, so many clothes will end up unworn.”
