Sleep On Your Lap
Sleep On Your Lap
At 1 am, the car drove out of the Margalla Hills. Xia Jinyuan contacted Major General Lu who was in the hotel using the satellite phone.
After he hung up, he spoke to G3, "Everyone will take turns to drive for one hour. We'll head to the military airport." Then, he said to Ye Jian, "Rest on my lap. We'll reach the city in three hours."
Normally, they'll need five hours to reach the city. However, they had been driving for almost 12 hours.
"Okay. I'll get some rest. I'll wake up one hour later so that the rest of you can sleep." Ye Jian didn't reject the offer. They had driven out of the warzone but Pakistan was a dangerous country. They might meet robbers with guns while driving in the middle of the night. Hence, they needed someone awake to stay alert of their surroundings.
T6 smiled. "We'll reach in three hours. We have enough manpower. You can continue resting."
In the end, two people were left on guard. One was K7, who sat on the passenger's seat, and the other was V8. J5 would drive while the rest of the people took a break.
As compared to Ye Jian, the members of the Snow Region Brigade, who hadn't slept for two entire days, needed more rest.
Two nights of missions made the soldiers tired. Ye Jian laid on Xia Jinyuan's lap while Xia Jinyuan leaned on the side of the car. Within a minute, he fell asleep.
The five Chinese men in the car tried to escape but they were found out before they could do anything. They were beaten up and then knocked unconscious. This prevented them from creating more trouble.
The other man, who was hit by a bullet, felt helpless. His palm was struck by a bullet and his kneecap was broken. he wanted to escape badly but he couldn't. However, this prevented him from getting beaten up.
Ye Jian's back was hurt so she could only lay sideways and sleep on Xia Jinyuan's lap. She could hear V8 hitting people faintly. She didn't open her eyes. She just slept peacefully.
With them around, she didn't need to worry about her safety. This was how much she trusted them, just like how they trusted her sniping skills.
When Ye Jian woke up, J5 had stopped the car and was pumping oil. The moment she moved her head, a pair of gentle hand pressed her shoulder down and said, "Sleep."
Before they left, they took 20 liters of oil with them.
After one hour of rest, Ye Jian said lightly, "I'll drive. You can sit on the passenger's seat. We'll swap with J5 and K7. What do you think?"
"Have you rested enough?" Xia Jinyuan opened his eyes. The darkness covered up his bloodshot eyes so Ye Jian could only hear his hoarse voice. "From your voice, you sound energetic."
Her head was still on his lap. As he spoke, Ye Jian felt his muscles contracting. Were his legs numb?
She quickly got up and wore her helmet. "Are your legs numb? Let me massage it for you." They must be numb. He didn't move his legs for an hour while she slept.
