Chapter 3754:

The joy in the middle-aged man’s eyes made Ye Jian’s smile become gentler. “Have a good sleep. Don’t worry.”

“Then I’ll sleep. I’ll sleep now. Thank you, comrade. With you guarding us, we’ll feel at ease.”

He wasn’t the only one who thought so. Everyone in the carriage thought so too.

To the citizens of the country, soldiers were their greatest support. As long as they saw a military uniform, they would feel at ease.

Ye Jian and the rest were also happy to escort the villagers back home for the new year. It was their responsibility to protect the safety of the villagers.

When Ye Jian sat down, the female student, Ding Ling, who was sitting with her, said softly, “The civilians have handed over their personal and property safety to us. I’ll sleep for a while. We’ll take turns to be on duty in the middle of the night.”

“Okay.” Ye Jian nodded lightly. She didn’t feel sleepy at all. After being stimulated by the turbid air, her nose got stuffier and her temples hurt.

It seemed that… her cold had gotten worse.

Ye Jian, who hadn’t caught a cold for a few years, didn’t know how she caught it. Her nose had been blocked for the past few days, especially when she was sleeping. It was so blocked that she needed to open her mouth to breathe.

Now, not only was her nose stuffed, but her head was also a little dizzy. However, she didn’t feel sleepy at all.

The male student sitting opposite Ye Jian saw this and said to Ye Jian through the short partition, “Let’s take turns to be on duty. Yu Rong and Ding Ling will sleep first. I’ll be on duty with you in the second half of the night. How about that?”

“You should rest too. I’m not sleepy now. I’ll just be on duty alone.” Ye Jian smiled and looked in the direction of the aisle. Her voice was much softer. “We have to be more vigilant in the second half of the night.”

That was the time for the pickpockets to act. Especially between 1:00 am and 3:30 am, that was the best time for the pickpockets to act. Pickpockets would also climb into carriages. They had to be careful in the second half of the night.

“That’s fine too. The three of us will rest first. We’ll be on duty in the second half of the night. As for the rest…”

The phone in Ye Jian’s pocket vibrated briefly. A message came. Ye Jian moved her body and took out her phone. When she saw the cell phone number, there was a smile in her eyes.

It was a message from Mr. Fu.

[Holiday? Back to the capital city? I miss my daughter very much.]

It was a short message, but every word was filled with the warmth of a kind father.

Ye Jian didn’t know that when she replied to the message, the corners of her lips kept curling up. However, there was a hint of heartache in the depths of her smile. She knew that Mr. Fu and her grandfather missed her very much, but she couldn’t leave everything behind and return to the capital city to be filial. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety had always been a cause for dilemma. She was experiencing it deeply.

Her slender fingers moved across the buttons. A message filled with guilt was sent to Mr. Fu’s cell phone.

Mr. Fu hadn’t returned to the capital city. He just came out of the laboratory that had been isolated from the world for seven months. The first thing he did was to charge his cell phone and call his old man to talk to him. Then, he tried to send a message to his daughter.

The reason why he tried to send a message was because Mr. Fu had been staying in the laboratory for too long and had forgotten the time. He thought that Ye Jian was still in class.

When Ye Jian’s message came, Mr. Fu immediately looked at the date. He patted his forehead and couldn’t help but laugh.

He had already forgotten the date today.

Actually, Mr. Fu wasn’t the only one. There were many researchers in the laboratory. In order to develop their own weapons and overcome one difficulty after another to allow the country’s combat power to increase further, Mr. Fu and the rest would even forget to eat and sleep. They only had work in their minds. They ignored everything else.
