Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don’t Mess Around! - Chapter 2723

2723 I Know Her Better
Li Jinnian didn’t say these words out of anger or impulse. He really thought so.

The rain was so heavy that their faces were blurred. They couldn’t see each other’s facial features anymore. The only thing they could feel was the low pressure on each other.

Li Jinnian, who rarely spoke at length, locked his gaze on Xia Jinyuan, whose aura was dark. His cold voice seemed to be full of exhaustion. “She’s so good that she was willing to use her life to protect you. Xia Jinyuan, why are you so lucky?

“My uncle just found my cousin and my grandfather has something to look forward to. Our family hasn’t really reunited. We haven’t brought my cousin to my grandmother’s grave to offer incense. We haven’t gone to my mother’s grave to offer incense… Xia Jinyuan, if something happens to my cousin, will you be at ease for the rest of your life?

“She did make the right choice. You’re the commander of the Xueyu unit and the captain. You need to bring the special forces to another peak. The country spent so much effort to groom you, and no one wants anything to happen to you. I feel the same way about my cousin.

“It’s because she made the right choice that my heart aches. My heart aches for why my younger cousin is so stupid. My heart aches for why she’s so fearless!”

Xia Jinyuan listened quietly. His gaze was as deep as the sea because of what Li Jinnian said. In the depths of his eyes, there was a storm.

“She’s so good and fearless. She can’t bear to part with all of us… That’s why I believe that nothing will happen to Azure Bird! Nothing will happen to her so easily.
“You’ve already hit and scolded me. It’s time to go back and rest.”

Xia Jinyuan, who was covered in a dark aura, took a deep breath of the damp air that was mixed with the rainwater. He covered his abdomen that was hurting from the beating and walked toward the temporary campsite tonight.

“When are you going to look for my cousin?”

Li Jinnian’s hoarse voice came from behind.

“There’s no cousin or lover here. Demon King Li… there’s only Azure Bird here.” Xia Jinyuan stopped in his tracks. Without turning his head, he replied in a low voice, “The moment Azure Bird made her choice, she used her identity as a soldier to protect me.

“There’s only Azure Bird here, and I’m the captain of the Xueyu unit. I’m the person she used her life to protect. Demon King, I’ll go back and look for my comrades who fight alongside me and we’ll look for Azure Bird.

“But not now.

She took on all the dangers just to let him escape. If he returned, he would only disappoint her and waste her efforts.

“Demon King, do you know why Azure Bird chose me?”

Li Jinnian clenched his fists. “Why?”

“We both understand each other. We know the intention behind each of our actions. We cherish each other’s decisions and understand the deeper meaning behind each decision.

“Demon King, when Azure Bird was 14 years old, her figure had already settled in my heart. 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20… Seven years. I’ve known her for seven years, and I’ve accompanied her for seven years. I’ve understood her for seven years. I understand Azure Bird better than your uncle.
