It was precisely because of this group that treated life and death lightly and treated the dignity of the country as their own life that the country could be safe!

Ye Jian was so immersed in her comrades’ stories that she forgot that there was a hickey on her neck. Xia Jinyuan, who was sitting beside her, heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he couldn’t help but wonder if he could tell his story too.

Outside, Qin Xiu had asked which room Ye Jian was staying in. He needed to return to the capital city early because he had something on. He knocked on Ye Jian’s room three times before calling out with a smile, “Ye Jian, it’s me, Qin Xiu.”

It was very quiet inside. No one seemed to be inside.

Qin Xiu looked at the room number. He checked, and it was indeed Ye Jian’s room.

“Did she go to another room?” The staff member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reminded him softly. “There are many soldiers in the military unit this time. They might have gathered with their comrades.”

The scene he saw during the day flashed past Qin Xiu’s mind. His elegant face turned a little dark. Maybe…

“Let’s go.”

He didn’t continue knocking on the door or looking for her. He sighed softly and turned to leave.

Ye Jian’s room was on the second floor too. The difference was that Qin Xiu’s room was on the other side of the second floor while Ye Jian’s room was on this side. Ye Jian didn’t know that they were on the same floor.

It was already 10:00 PM. Qin Xiu rushed for the 2:00 AM flight. The border defense was quite far from the airport. It would take nearly two hours to reach the airport. 10 minutes ago, he received a message that he would return to the capital city overnight. He packed his things and left immediately. There was not enough time to look for Ye Jian now.

Downstairs, Ye Jian was saying goodnight to Xia Jinyuan and the rest. At the same time, she glared at Xia Jinyuan, who wanted to go upstairs with her. Together with her comrades, she personally escorted him back to his room and then returned to the second floor alone.

Someone came down from the second floor. Ye Jian looked up and saw Qin Xiu, who was halfway up and preparing to come down.

“Qin Xiu? Are you going back to the capital city now?” Ye Jian’s gaze landed on the small black suitcase in his hand. When he came from the capital city, he was carrying the black suitcase that a diplomat must have.

Qin Xiu, who had already given up on bidding farewell, didn’t expect to see Ye Jian. His eyes flashed slightly as he smiled. “Yes, I got a call from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I have to leave early.”

He was wearing a suit, and he strode down elegantly while exuding confidence and a noble aura. “I was looking for you to say goodbye just now. I didn’t expect to meet you here.”

“I’m sorry, I went to the reception room to chat with my comrades.” Ye Jian was a little embarrassed. He specially went to bid farewell to her but she wasn’t in the room. It seemed a little rude.

Now that they met, she should take the initiative to send him off.

What she didn’t know was that the smile in Qin Xiu’s eyes got deeper because of her explanation. “No wonder she wasn’t in her room. She went to chat with her comrades. Did she sleep too much during the day, so she can’t sleep at night?”

As he walked down, Ye Jian naturally turned around to send him off and went downstairs with him.

Qin Xiu smiled.

“I slept too much during the day. When I woke up, it was already dark. I don’t feel sleepy anymore,” Ye Jian replied. Under the misty light, her facial features looked exceptionally gentle.

Qin Xiu glanced at Ye Jian from the corner of his eye. His heart was pounding.
