His embrace was her reassurance. She felt at ease when she was back in his arms.
"Congratulations, Azure Bird!" He hugged her tightly and shouted her codename in a low voice. This was a hug between comrades, not a hug between lovers.
Taking a deep breath of his refreshing scent, Ye Jian opened her eyes and replied with a smile, "Thank you! Sorry to make you worry."
He was indeed worried, but he felt proud too.
"My little girl has grown up. I'm proud of you, Little Fox." Xia Jinyuan couldn't bear to let go of her. The small and soft body in his arms filled up all the emptiness in his heart in an instant. She was really back. She came back safe and sound.
He felt a little helpless. He clearly told her that no matter who went out to fight, the person left behind would wait patiently. There was no need to worry and no need to be afraid. Even if they were sacrificed… that was the path a soldier should take.
