Chapter 305: Chapter 305: Expressing Affection _1
Having said that, Wang Yating withdrew and continued her strikes, aiming a punch at Ye Ming’s face.
Ye Ming turned his head to dodge, without countering, and said, "Your strength is there, but you’re still a bit slow in speed!"
"You need to continue to improve!"
Wang Yating clenched her red lips and continued to attack.
Another punch came, and Ye Ming said, "The speed of this punch is enough, but the strength isn’t quite there."
After several punches, Ye Ming clearly saw tears welling up in Wang Yating’s eyes.
That single tear pained Ye Ming’s heart, causing him to forget his defense.
With a thud, Wang Yating’s fist hit Ye Ming’s heart.
She widened her eyes and demanded, "Why didn’t you dodge?"
Ye Ming gave a bitter smile, "It’s okay, it doesn’t hurt."
Little did she know that the punch hurt Wang Yating even more than it hurt Ye Ming.
Gasping for breath, she asked, "Why didn’t you dare to say goodbye to me?"
"Why were you so eager to call off our engagement?"
"Do you... truly not like me at all?"
After these words were spoken, two more tears fell from Wang Yating’s eyes, dropping to the ground.
"I...", Ye Ming was at a loss for words, looking at Wang Yating before him with a very complicated expression.
How could he say he didn’t like her?
As the foremost beauty of the Yanjing Martial Department, Wang Yating wasn’t only very beautiful but also had a very good personality, not sweating the small stuff and behaving in a carefree manner, which man wouldn’t like her?
The feminine beauty she exuded was something ordinary women couldn’t achieve.
However, had he not met Xu Lele, he would definitely have liked Wang Yating.
If there was someone to blame, it would only be because they appeared in his life in the wrong order.
"Miss Wang, it’s not that I don’t like you, I just..."
Ye Ming sighed and said, "You’re very outstanding, and I do like you—but someone is already in my heart."
Wang Yating looked at him steadfastly and asked, "What about me then? You’ve stolen my heart; are you just going to leave it unattended?"
"These past days, you’ve deeply entered my heart, and I don’t want to lie to myself—I like you!"
"No matter what, I don’t want to hide these feelings; I want you to know!"
After speaking, Wang Yating took two steps forward and threw herself into Ye Ming’s arms.
Her sudden move left Ye Ming dumbstruck, his hands unsure where to place.
His face turned red, his heart raced, and he stood frozen in place.
With a smile through her tears, Wang Yating stared at him intently and said, "I’ve heard your true feelings; it seems your previous disdain for me was all an act!"
"You played it so convincingly, I actually thought you had no feelings for me at all!"
At this point, Ye Ming couldn’t explain anything further.
He gave a bitter smile and said, "It was all an act; I do like you, but as a man, I cannot let down the girl who is waiting for me."
"Miss Wang, we..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Wang Yating’s face drew close, sealing Ye Ming’s lips with her own.
A wave of sweet sensation engulfed him, leaving Ye Ming’s brain completely short-circuited at that moment, turning everything blank.
His heart beat wildly at that moment, his breathing quickened, and a wave of heat surged up to his brain.
Long after, the two separated.
Wang Yating, with a seductive smile on her face, shyly said, "I’ll give you a stamp, and from now on, you can’t let me down, otherwise, I’ll definitely not let you off the hook!"
Having said that, Wang Yating turned and left, leaving only her figure behind for Ye Ming.
He stared blankly at Wang Yating’s retreating figure, a bitter smile endlessly surfacing on his face.
He knew that Wang Yating was just expressing her feelings to him before his departure, but this gesture caused waves to rise in Ye Ming’s heart.
What had been a very straightforward affair, had now developed into something he didn’t know how to conclude.
After standing dumbfounded for a long time, Ye Ming racked his brains but couldn’t come up with a good solution.
Seeing that the sky was about to brighten, Ye Ming sighed.
He simply stopped thinking about these matters; heading to Jiangbei was the most crucial thing at the moment.
One eats a meal bite by bite, and one should handle matters one at a time; what he should do now was to continue strengthening himself.
...
With a smile on her face, Wang Yating returned to the field camp just as the sky brightened. At this time, Yang Tianxiong had already arrived, waiting for Wang Yating’s return.
"Minister Yang?"
Wang Yating asked, somewhat puzzled, "Do you already know what happened?"
Yang Tianxiong nodded, his expression grave as he said, "I’m aware of the situation. The position of Chief Instructor of Falcon Squad has always belonged to Ye Ming."
"This was a decision I made on my own, and we owe a lot to Ye Ming for our match with Tiger Team, so I believe he should receive such a reward."
"Captain Wang, you don’t have any objections, do you?"
Wang Yating nodded earnestly and said, "Minister Yang, of course I have no objections. None of us in Falcon Squad have any."
At her words, responses came from all directions from the members of Falcon Squad.
"Right, none of us have any objections!"
"Instructor Ye will always be our instructor in Falcon Squad!"
Seeing the fervor in everyone’s eyes, Wang Yating felt greatly moved.
Yang Tianxiong felt heartened, nodding with a smile, and said, "Ye Ming has only been with us for a few days yet has brought us so many benefits. It’s just a pity that I hadn’t managed to keep him here!"
Without any prompt, Wang Yating said, "Just be at ease, Minister Yang, he... will surely come back!"
"However, he did leave a note behind when he left."
At that moment, Wang Yating took out the note Ye Ming had left from her pocket and said to Yang Tianxiong, "He meant for this note to be not only for our Falcon Squad but also for Yanjing Martial Department."
Yang Tianxiong, slightly puzzled, took the note, opened it, and the smile on his face instantly disappeared, transforming into shock.
He said tremblingly, "This is... the formulae and methods for making the Body Tempering Elixir and Bone Sculpting Pill!"
"These are more important to us than anything else! They are priceless treasures!"
Even Wang Yating was moved, her face showing shock as she said, "He actually left these behind as well?"
Somehow, she felt touched, and her eyes moistened at that moment.
Yang Tianxiong said, "Mr. Ye truly is a remarkable man. It’s our honor in Yanjing Martial Department to have received his help. Just this alone, and we should revere Mr. Ye!"
As he spoke, Yang Tianxiong seemed to think of something and said with deep regret, "What a mess, he left in such a hurry that I forgot to confer his rank."
"No, I can’t rest easy if I don’t take care of this matter."
"Captain Wang, you must keep an eye on his whereabouts in the near future; I intend to find him myself!" Yang Tianxiong, his face showing fervent emotion, spoke earnestly.
