Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don't Mess Around! - Chapter 4181

However, it was also possible to forget. Just like what her cousin said, he treated everyone equally during training. That day, when he stepped into the water, he might have thought that he was stepping on a male soldier.

Hence, Ye Jian didn’t probe further. She smiled casually and said, “Since you forgot, never mind, then. I’m afraid it’s hard for me to forget. That stomp was unforgettable.”

Li Jinnian nodded and said casually, “There are many unforgettable things during training. It’s normal. I have those unforgettable memories too.”

As he spoke, he jerked his chin slightly to the front. “I’ll go and help him. He’s bringing over three glasses of water alone. I don’t want him to knock the glasses over.”

Xia Jinyuan, who was walking over with water, was Demon King Li’s savior. After he finished speaking, he immediately stood up to go and help Xia Jinyuan.

Xia Jinyuan, who didn’t know what was going on, was shocked when he saw his cousin-in-law coming to help him get the water personally.

Ye Jian wanted to say there was no need, but her cousin stood up quickly and strode out. Why did it look like… he was running away?

Ye Jian narrowed her eyes slightly. She quickly understood.

He was running away!

Her cousin didn’t forget that he stepped on her head, forcing her into the water back then. When she suddenly mentioned it, her cousin felt so awkward that he didn’t dare to face her. Hence… he escaped.

At this moment, Li Jinnian’s gaze softened as he looked at Xia Jinyuan. Since a good excuse had appeared, Li Jinnian naturally welcomed Xia Jinyuan.

After taking one of the glasses of water, Li Jinnian thanked him and sat back on the couch. When Xia Jinyuan sat down, Demon King Li said calmly, “Just now, my cousin said that you were also quite ruthless to her during training. I only know about that one instance. Could it be that you’ve done things that are more ruthless?”

This time, it was Xia Jinyuan’s turn to adjust his sitting position slightly.

His instincts told him that his cousin-in-law must have talked about some sensitive topics, particularly their ruthless treatment toward the little fox.

Especially when Li Jinnian said that Xia Jinyuan was also quite ruthless to Ye Jian during training. The word ‘also’ was the most important part. It could be understood that in the past, his cousin-in-law was very harsh on the little fox during training. That was why he said ‘also’ when he asked him.

In the blink of an eye, Xia Jinyuan had already thought of the crux of the matter. Hence, he smiled and said, “I was quite ruthless. That year, when she came back from your hands, she told me that there’s another person aside from me who’s also ruthless to her.

“Back then, when I sent her to your team, I think you were probably more ruthless than me given your boldness. After all, your unit was just established. You had to be ruthless.”

“That’s why my cousin said that we were ruthless to her during training.” Li Jinnian finished his sentence calmly and threw the problem back. “I wonder how ruthless you were to my cousin? I’ll have a good chat with her later.”

If the cousin-in-law and the boyfriend competed, the cousin-in-law was sure to win.

Although Xia Jinyuan had lost to his future cousin-in-law, he was calm. He even smiled and said, “Why don’t we chat together tonight? We haven’t seen each other for a long time. I can’t bear to spend time sleeping.”

So be it. Xia Jinyuan wanted to see how long Li Jinnian could talk for.

Li Jinnian nodded. “Sure. Do you want to talk in your room? Or my cousin’s room?”

Hearing that, Ye Jian adjusted her sitting position slightly.

She and Captain Xia weren’t staying in different rooms. The two of them slept in the same room.
