Can’t Take My Eyes Off You

As she was initially a military wife, Jiang Yao was not affected by the fact that she had to go to the army base the next day. After washing up the following day, she dragged her suitcase downstairs and went to the school gate to wait for the others.

When she arrived at the school gate, she saw a military car there. The young soldier who was driving it waved at her when he saw the suitcase in her hand. “Hello. Are you one of the students going to the army base?”

“I am.” Her smile became a little sweeter when she saw the young soldier wearing the green military uniform. In the end, it made the young soldier blush.

The young soldier turned around and scratched his head. After a long while, he said, “Then do you want to wait in the car first?”

“I will just put the suitcase in first.” The military car that came to pick them up was the kind that could seat four people in the front, but there were two more rows of seats at the back. It was the usual army-issue vehicle.

When the soldier in the back seat heard that Jiang Yao wanted to put her luggage in, he jumped out of the car. He easily lifted Jiang Yao’s luggage with one hand and placed it in the back. Then, he smiled at Jiang Yao. “Your luggage is so light. I thought girls would need a lot of things—perfume, makeup water, face cream, lipstick, and so on.”

Jiang Yao teased the other party. “It looks like your partner is a beautiful girl who knows how to dress up.”

“Yes, she is beautiful, just like you!” The soldier admitted it. Since Jiang Yao praised his partner, he felt that Jiang Yao was a nice person. After helping Jiang Yao carry her luggage, he did not rush back to the car. Instead, he stood there and chatted with Jiang Yao.

When the soldier saw that Jiang Yao was dressed casually, he smiled. Even though he did not say anything, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Jiang Yao talked to the soldier for about five minutes before the remaining six students arrived.

The summer wind was already very warm at 10:30 in the morning. Jing Mengjie and Li Hong were the most eye-catching among the three men and three women. The two walked arm in arm beside Wu Boyan and Liu Chao, their skirts fluttering in the wind—one red and one yellow. They were very eye-catching. The high heels on their feet also made the two southern girls taller than usual.

When they got closer, Jiang Yao noticed that the two of them were still wearing makeup.

“Miss Jiang, you’re so early.” Liu Chao greeted Jiang Yao. “When we went downstairs to look for you, we found out that you had already come out.”

Jiang Yao was a 20-year-old young woman. Her short hair was simply tied into a ponytail, and her petite-sized face was clean. There was no trace of makeup on her face. Instead, there was a little sweat from the sun. Her fair and slightly red skin also made her look perfect.

However, Jiang Yao’s simplicity stunned Liu Chao for a moment. Then, he noticed that Jiang Yao’s expression had darkened.

“Jing Mengjie, I called you last night to inform you to wear comfortable clothes and shoes. I also told you not to wear skirts.” Jiang Yao frowned.

“I like to wear skirts, even in such hot weather. If I wear a skirt, I have to wear high heels to look good.” Jing Mengjie pursed her lips. “We’re going to the army base, not to war. Don’t tell me there are rules about what we have to wear? ”

Jiang Yao looked at Li Hong again and saw that she had the same expression as Jing Mengjie.
