Ye Jian thought to herself as she lightly blinked her eyes. She saw the worried look on his handsome face and let out a breath which seemed to be stained with blood. “I am okay. That was my first time, I am still trying to recover from that.”

When she killed two guards for the first time, she was forced to overlook her fears and finish the enemy for Gao Yiyang’s and her own safety.

Though she was fully prepared this time with Red Scorpion, she still overestimated herself.

Ye Jian stretched out her hands, tightly grabbed on his hands and smiled wryly. “Captain Xia, I want to take off the mask and catch my breath. It’s uncomfortable with sweat in my eyes.” During her usual training, she could tolerate the sweat in her eyes, but now, it all seemed unbearable.

Since there was no smoke in the room, it was safe for her to get some fresh air.

Her light voice struck Xia Jinyuan deeply. This girl had been so tough that it was heartbreaking to see.
