Before Xia Jinyuan left, there was a new round of heavy rain in Xiang City. The water level of the Xiang River rose by three centiters overnight. At 10:00 am, all the third-year students of the National Science University, where Ye Jian was, received an ergency notice at midnight. Ye Jian and the rest, who were sleeping, gathered urgently and left the National Science University at 12:50 am to fight the flood.
This ti, they had to carry sandbags to consolidate a town called 'White Town' in Xiang City.
The terrain of White Town was low. Once the dam was in danger, the place would definitely be subrged by the Xiang River. There were not enough people. In the end, they asked the National Science University for help. That was why Ye Jian and the rest took action again.
All the third-year students rushed to White Town to carry sandbags with the villagers.
Ye Jian, Xu Wen, and He Jing were no exception. They were all on the A-list and didn't sit at the back because of their gender.
It wasn't an easy task to fight against the flood. It was a high-risk mission. In the vehicle heading to the 'White Town', the officer gave a sheet of paper to Ye Jian. Ye Jian wrote a letter of challenge as the representative. It ant that if they were sacrificed, they would be worthy of their military uniform.
It had been three years in the military school. This flood-resistant mission was the first mission that the third-year students really wanted to carry out. Yesterday's mission didn't count. It was just to help.
The atmosphere in the vehicle was a little tense. Xu Wen held He Jing's hand tightly. She realized that He Jing's palm was cold. When Xu Wen reached out her hand, He Jing imdiately held it tightly. The two of them held each other's hands tightly. No one dared to speak loudly.
The officer leading the team knew that the students were nervous, so he smiled and said, "Co, let's sing the soldier song. I'll start the tune."
The officer started the tune. The soldiers in the vehicle sang loudly. Ye Jian lowered her head and wrote the letter of challenge as the vehicle shook. Her ntal fortitude was the best.
After she finished writing, Ye Jian pressed the red ink with her thumb and left her fingerprint on the letter. Then, the paper and ink were passed around in the truck until all the fingerprints of the 45 students were pressed on it. Finally, the paper returned to Ye Jian's hand.
After getting off the vehicle, Ye Jian would pass it to the officer.
The soldiers sang throughout the journey. In the end, when the tense atmosphere disappeared, they could still joke around.
It wasn't just Ye Jian's class. The other classes were the sa.
This was their first high-risk mission. How could the young students who were only in their early 20s not be nervous?
Even if they were nervous, they had to go!
Because they were the children of the people!
Xia Jinyuan was in the sa car as the director again. When the door closed, the dean, who was sitting in the back row, had a strange expression on his face. Even his gaze was probing.
The director felt that he had discovered… a truth that he didn't dare to confirm.
When he knew that the third-year students who went to fight the flood and provide disaster relief had placed their thumbprints on the letter of challenge, Xia Jinyuan pursed his thin lips when he got into the vehicle. His handso face was so cold that the dean, who seed to have learned of the truth, held back his worry for a while.
The Jeep drove through the rain for about ten minutes. The dean, who was getting more and more suspicious, finally asked.
"What's your relationship with her? Tell the truth!"
Afraid that the driver in front would hear him, the dean, who had put in a lot of effort, lowered his voice. He stared at the young lieutenant colonel whose face was illuminated by the light outside and said, "Answer truthfully!"
Xia Jinyuan straightened his back and secretly stretched out his curled-up fingers. He turned his head and saw that the dean's expression was even worse than the weather outside.
