Ye Jian didn’t let go of the dog even though it was struggling even harder. Instead, she held onto the neck of the dog tightly and pressed it against its shoulder. This action was to prevent the dog from biting her in the neck.

Although Ye Jian’s arm strength was weaker than her leg strength, she was still stronger than the average female soldier. She grabbed the dog’s neck with both hands, making it unable to escape from her hands even if it struggled with all its limbs.

Not only was she gripping the military dog with both hands but she had also wrapped herself around the lower half of the military dog’s body. Ye Jian gritted her teeth and took a deep breath. Then, she turned around and pressed the military dog onto the gravel like she was subduing an enemy.

Her eyes shone with an even fiercer light than a wild beast’s. She stared at the struggling dog with hostility.

The tag with the number ’16’ was pulled down by her. She raised her head and stared at the soldier beside her with her fierce and cold eyes. “Have I passed?”

“Yes!” The soldier rushed over with a dark expression. He was worried that his beloved dog would be injured, so he squatted down and said to the female soldier who took less than five minutes to take Soldier down. “I’ll bring it away from you later. Relax a little. The gravel is uneven, it’ll hurt its back.”

The soldiers at the military dog training base had a deep bond with the military dogs they trained. After raising them for a long time, they treated the military dogs as their comrades.

Hence, when the soldier saw the dog being restrained by Ye Jian until it let out a painful whimper, his heart ached. “It’s just following orders. If I hadn’t given the order, it wouldn’t have attacked you.”

Hearing this, Ye Jian loosened her grip on the dog. She waited for the soldier to tie the dog up with the leash before caressing the dog until its fur no longer stood on end. Only then did Ye Jian feel relieved.

The dog quickly got up and sat down on his hind legs. It obediently squatted beside the soldier and stuck out its long tongue. Although it was powerful, it had already retracted its attack power.

“This is a military dog that has performed meritorious service. It once killed two armed rioters while patrolling with us at the border. It’s quite aggressive. Once it pounces on its victim, the average person would have no chance of winning.”

The soldier, who had been tanned by the northern sun, squatted down together with the military dog that had made meritorious contributions. They squatted side by side like brothers. The soldier lightly scratched the dog’s head. The eyes of the unyielding man were exceptionally gentle. “Your performance was excellent, Brother!”

After saying that, he raised his head and smiled at Ye Jian. “Since you’ve removed the serial number, I can bring it back to the team.”

When the dog licked the soldier’s palm, he stood up and saluted Ye Jian.

The military dog sat obediently by the soldier’s feet. The soldier treated it as a brother, but it also treated the soldier as its brother and protected him.

After watching them leave, Ye Jian sat on the cold gravel and shook her arms.

“You’re so nervous that your arm muscles are twitching.” Xia Jinyuan walked out and knelt down. He massaged Ye Jian’s arms and asked calmly, “Were you afraid?”

He was strong, so the muscles on her arms gradually relaxed. Ye Jian smiled bitterly and replied, “Of course, I was afraid. But it’s useless to be afraid. I have to face it.”

“After facing it, you’ll realize that what you’re afraid of is nothing.” Xia Jinyuan looked at her intently and slowly raised his lips. He smiled with a doting look in his eyes. “Everything is nothing but pride.”
