Chapter 4468: You’ve Grown Taller

The two of them saw Ye Jian too. They looked at each other, and the smile on their faces slowly disappeared. Ye Jian, who had already changed into casual clothes, walked toward them quickly. They strode toward Ye Jian as well.

Just like before, the two of them suddenly walked very quickly. The plainclothes officers immediately looked over and quickly looked away.

“Sorry to have kept you waiting.” White Crane reached out and took Ye Jian’s luggage. Weaver, who was a step slower, gritted his teeth. He reached out his hand.

“Long time no see.”

Weaver reached out his hand and shook Ye Jian’s hand. “Did you wait until you wanted to flare up? Don’t stand on ceremony. Just vent your anger. Our skin is thick, and we can take it.”

Because they were familiar with each other, there was no sense of restraint. Even when they spoke, they were much more casual. They were not as distant as when they first met.

Ye Jian shook her hand and replied with a smile, “Captain Xia told me in advance, so I wasn’t given a chance to flare up. Try next time.”

“Hahaha, no problem.” Weaver retracted his hand and started chatting with Ye Jian. “Flying from the Northeast to the Northwest is too a distance. He and I were worried that we would be late before we boarded the plane. Fortunately, the journey was smooth and we didn’t make you wait long.”

White Crane held one luggage in each hand and let Weaver talk first. When they walked out of the airport lobby, the three of them had already started chatting. White Crane raised his hand and smiled as he used it to measure Ye Jian’s height. He teased, “The food in the military school is not bad. You’re much taller than the last time we met. In the past, when I talked to you, I needed to take a step back. Now, I just need to take half a step back.”

White Crane and Weaver were both tall. No, it should be said that other than the scout who was less than 1.8 meters tall, the rest of the special forces soldiers were more than 1.8 meters tall. As a result, as long as Ye Jian was too close to them, she had to raise her head to look at them.

Due to the difference in height, it became a topic of discussion for the Xueyu unit for a long time.

Xia Jinyuan let them talk about this topic without any malicious intent. Occasionally, he would join in and tease her as well.

Ye Jian had been troubled by her height for a while. They were too tall, making her, who was not short, look very short. When they gathered, their heigh difference was obvious. Alas, she was helpless.

Ye Jian was still very happy to hear that she had grown taller.

“The food is indeed not bad. Fortunately, I’ve gotten taller. If not, my neck would hurt whenever I talk to you,” she replied with a smile. The two male soldiers on her left and right laughed softly.

There were armed police officers on duty outside the airport. There were three posts, one in the middle and one on each side. The three of them walked past the middle post. Facing the tourists coming and going, Weaver lowered his voice and said, “It looks like there’s a big move. Plainclothes and armed police have been mobilized.”

“Something happened. I even acted as a guardian in the early morning. At first, I wanted to find a corner to sleep alone, but there were at least 15 people sitting around me in the end. It became the most crowded corner in the entire hall. I was really eye-catching, so I changed into my only casual outfit.”

Ye Jian recalled the scene she saw when she woke up. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. However, she felt a little proud. Later, she realized the reason why people kept looking at her. She went to the bathroom to change into her only casual clothes. That was why no one sized her up anymore.

There was a taxi outside the airport. The three of them took a taxi to the city before taking a Jeep arranged by the military unit to enter the desert.

A taxi stopped in front of the three of them. White Crane immediately went to pull the back door. Before he could pull it open, the taxi driver leaned his head against the steering wheel and sized up White Crane first. Then, he looked at Weaver. Finally, his gaze landed on Ye Jian. The locked door opened with a click.

The three people outside the car had already secretly exchanged hand signals.
