However, he couldn't let her see through his selfishness. If she did, she might not follow him out.

The business class seats were spacious. When the two of them sat down, Xia Jinyuan habitually leaned toward Ye Jian. Their shoulders naturally touched, and they tilted their heads slightly. They could hear each other's breathing clearly.

They turned on the small night light. The hazy light shone on their exquisite eyebrows. They sat in the silent business class. The stars outside were resplendent, and it was silent inside. There was an ambiguous atmosphere as it was in the middle of the night.

The atmosphere was there, but the topic they were talking about had nothing to do with the atmosphere. The two of them sat down, and Xia Jinyuan, who had a slightly serious facial expression, said, "We'll arrive in Estonia at five in the morning and immediately take a helicopter to land in the primeval forest in the east. Ye Jian, are you ready? Do you have any psychological burdens?

"There's still time. If you have any questions or burdens, you can tell me."

She didn't say much during the day, so he couldn't figure out what she was thinking.

Ye Jian felt relaxed when she sat down. When she heard him asking her if she had any psychological burden, Ye Jian didn't hesitate and smiled directly. "No, I don't have any psychological burden at all. I'm not nervous either. What will come will come. I'll fight well and complete this confrontation. Other than that, I don't have any other thoughts.

"If I really have to say something, I've been thinking about what the military wants us to do. We can't be too strong or too weak. It's even more difficult. We can either be strong or weak. How can we be neither strong nor weak?

"I'm worried about you. After all, you're the overall combat commander." Her tone was calm and relaxed.

In other words… the male soldiers had been discussing for an entire day while she was only worried about him?

Xia Jinyuan, who had a deep gaze, suddenly smiled. He raised his hand and rubbed her head gently. He said gently, "I'm doing just fine. I just need to let others see that our overall strength is neither strong nor weak.

"This is the first time our soldiers are participating in a foreign competition. The military needs to understand the bottom line, and they sent us to be the pioneers. That's why they sent us overseas, so that the military can have a foundation.

"In the future, our soldiers will only participate in more and more international competitions. At the same time, we will become stronger. This time, winning isn't our goal. Learning is the most important."

Ye Jian couldn't help but laugh again.

As there were no other comrades in front of her, she didn't hide her smile. Her eyes curved into crescents, bright and clear. "I know, I know. Friendship comes first on the surface, but it's really competition that comes first. Studying is very important, but we can't just focus on studying and not care about the competition… I know everything. I know it in my heart."

There was an indescribable teasing in her tone. Xia Jinyuan knew why she was laughing.

"The military has its scruples. We just need to cooperate. Our military power hasn't reached the point where we can stand up and express our stand. Hence… 'duplicity' is also a strategy.

"It's a tradition in our country to keep a low profile and make a fortune silently.

"Eka Assault is a competition without death. This is our first time participating in it. Compared to those countries that have participated in it, we're actually in a very passive position. If we suddenly appear forcefully, we'll definitely become the target of everyone. We'll lose the advantage of secretly observing others. Hence, we'll hide in the early stages and only slowly erupt in the later stages."
