Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 334: Chapter 333: The Eccentric Woman’s Stuff

Zhang Lan, this girl, truly brought Ye Tianchen some unique surprises. Before Han Jie had told the story of Zhang Lan, Ye Tianchen thought Zhang Lan was a beautiful girl with strong physical skills, and sometimes a bit of a quirky oddball, but overall quite adorable. He hadn’t expected Zhang Lan to have such an intellectual side and to be such a loving girl, which made Ye Tianchen increasingly curious about her. In modern society, it’s very hard to find such a girl who is independent, young, and beautiful, yet also very caring.

”Tianchen, it’s best for you to think this way. Laner is just a bit too competitive!” Han Jie said with a smile.

”No problem, a handsome guy like me usually doesn’t hold grudges against ugly girls, mainly because I’m just too handsome!” Ye Tianchen chuckled and teased.

Han Jie couldn’t help but laugh. Sometimes she really felt happy being with Ye Tianchen. Whenever he relaxed, he was like a rascal, making everyone laugh with his jokes. Sometimes the side he showed was indeed quite nonsensical and quirky. However, if you thought this man was just good at talking and joking around, you’d be mistaken. By his side, he could give you ample security and would never let you face even the slightest danger, for he was also a Death God who made enemies tremble with fear.

”You...,” Han Jie really didn’t know what to say, as Ye Tianchen was becoming increasingly different in her eyes.

She remembered when Ye Tianchen first joined the army. Since the Han family had some connections with the Ye family and Han Jie knew Ye Tianchen from childhood, though not as closely as Ling Yuxun, she took good care of him in the army. Otherwise, given Ye Tianchen’s notorious reputation in Capital City as a prodigal and good-for-nothing, he would have definitely been bullied when joining the army.

Ye Tianchen’s initial entry into the army followed an incident where he peeped at Liu Rumei bathing, which brought great shame to the Ye family and shook the entire Capital City. Afterwards, meeting his parents who took him to the Liu family to apologize and suffer humiliation, Ye Tianchen realized how unfilial he had been before and how much pain he had caused his parents. His parents were aging, and he wondered if he could continue on this path letting them worry about him until their deaths.

While kneeling outside of the Liu family’s door, Ye Tianchen secretly vowed in his heart to change. He couldn’t continue this way; if he did, not only would he sadden his parents, but he also wouldn’t be able to protect them. Facing the Ye family’s declining trend and bullying from other families was inevitable. If you lag behind, if you are weak, you get hit; it was a simple fact.

Thus, after leaving the Liu family, the next day was supposed to be Ye Tianchen’s reporting day at Longteng University, but he didn’t go. Instead, he chose the path to the military, a place where the dwindling influence of the Ye family could still secure him a spot, though without any special treatment.

Upon entering the military, Ye Tianchen, previously known for his lack of study and accomplishments, coupled with the incident at the Liu family’s home that stirred up Capital City, also made waves even in the closed military area. Hence, you can imagine the treatment Ye Tianchen received in the military. Given Liu Rumei’s beauty, which made her the crush of countless men who learned that Ye Tianchen, the notorious good-for-nothing, had successfully peeked at Liu Rumei bathing, many wanted him dead. Indeed, there were people who had really hired an assassin to kill Ye Tianchen, and it was lucky that Ye Tianchen had joined the army and indirectly saved his own life.

Within the army, many people rejected Ye Tianchen, either knowing him as the infamous good-for-nothing from Capital City and not wanting to associate with him or hating him to the point of wanting to strangle him alive. They were envious of what he had done, something many men dreamed of but dared not do. If not for the fear of military discipline, Ye Tianchen might have been beaten to death long ago.

In this process, only Han Jie talked and interacted with Ye Tianchen, took great care of him, and was by his side until he became a special forces soldier. Though these matters were never discussed between them, Ye Tianchen did not think much about it. However, he always remembered Han Jie’s kindness, which was why when he learned Han Jie was in danger, he dropped everything and rushed to Black Mist Forest. He might not have had feelings for Han Jie, but a debt of gratitude must be repaid; otherwise, that would not be the behavior of a man.

Ye Tianchen, having become a special forces soldier, truly made many take notice, even some military leaders did not expect that the Ye family’s notorious good-for-nothing could become an outstanding special forces soldier. Could it be that the Ye family’s fortunes were really turning?

As for what happened later, many people knew and it was beyond surprise. Particularly when Ye Tianchen returned to Capital City, the series of events was simply jaw-dropping. Those who knew him and had once looked down on him were utterly astounded. The Qin family, the Luo family were eliminated by Ye Tianchen, and even more influential people heard about Ye Tianchen’s actions in Washington, M country. His complete disregard for conventions in Washington, even getting Hei Bama to invite him for a meal – what kind of ability and audacity did that require?

”You are the real monster, being so self-centered to this extent is shameless!” At this moment, Zhang Lan unexpectedly walked back into the bedroom just in time to hear Ye Tianchen. He quickly got up; this was definitely a quirky girl he shouldn’t provoke without precaution.

Han Jie also got up from Ye Tianchen’s bed and hurried over to her cousin Zhang Lan, smiling as she said, ”Laner, Tianchen is a good guy. You may not know him well now, but you will see after spending more time with him!”

”Who wants to be around him (her)!” Ye Tianchen and Zhang Lan both exclaimed almost simultaneously.

Right after, the next second saw Ye Tianchen and Zhang Lan staring each other down at the same time, with Zhang Lan giving her signature expression, an eye-roll that spelled total disinterest in the world, while Ye Tianchen stuck his tongue out at her, an equally dismissive gesture.

”Heh heh, Laner, why are you back again? Aren’t you sleeping?” Han Jie broke the stalemate with an awkward laugh.

Zhang Lan didn’t respond but walked over to Ye Tianchen’s bed. Ye Tianchen hurriedly braced for a fight since this crazy woman was pretty strong, and he was injured now. It wouldn’t do to be unprepared and end up with a black eye, which would really be depressing.

Little did he know, Zhang Lan made an expression that conveyed, ”I can’t be bothered with you, or hitting you,” and, frustratingly, she yanked off Ye Tianchen’s blanket. Ye Tianchen instinctively covered himself below, thinking this wild woman was going too far. Was she really so mad that she wanted to castrate him? That would definitely blow things out of proportion!

”What are you covering? You think anyone is dying to see you?” Zhang Lan said with disdain as she glanced at Ye Tianchen.

”I’m just afraid it’s too big and might scare you all!” Ye Tianchen said irritably.

By this time, Zhang Lan had already taken something out on Ye Tianchen’s bed. Despite her normally careless personality, she blushed, glared at Ye Tianchen fiercely, and hid the object behind her back before quickly walking away.

Although Zhang Lan moved swiftly, both Ye Tianchen and Han Jie had seen what it was. The words that came to Ye Tianchen’s mind were ”bra,” while Han Jie thought ”breast support.”

Ye Tianchen and Han Jie could never have guessed that Zhang Lan’s return was not because she was still furious and ready to fight again, but because during their earlier scuffle, her already-loosened bra had fallen onto Ye Tianchen’s bed. After returning to her room, she discovered her intimate garment was missing. Realizing it must have dropped in Ye Tianchen’s room, she thought she absolutely needed to retrieve it before the guy could find it and potentially get any twisted ideas, so she rushed back to take it.

Zhang Lan left somewhat blushingly, and Han Jie’s face also turned red. After all, women’s intimate apparel emerging in front of a man can embarrass any girl, even if it’s not hers. And Ye Tianchen was feeling extremely annoyed. It was fortunate that only Cang Lang, Luo Weike, and Han Jie were present, all insiders who understood his and Zhang Lan’s dynamic. Otherwise, this scene might have sparked wild interpretations, possibly suggesting he and Zhang Lan had a physical tussle in the night, ending with her leaving her bra on his bed to be retrieved later.

”Cousin, aren’t you leaving? This big pervert here is being nasty. You might lose your honor!” Zhang Lan said, turning back to look at Han Jie by the door.

”I...” Ye Tianchen was about to speak, insisting he hadn’t done anything, yet Zhang Lan had already pinned labels like big pervert and scoundrel on him. He felt utterly wronged.

”Then, I will go to sleep too, you should rest early!” Han Jie stood up, her cheeks slightly red as she spoke.

”Hmm!” Ye Tianchen looked at Zhang Lan speechlessly, only managing to nod. This crazy woman was really unbearable and not someone to provoke at all! (To be continued.
