Blair widened her eyes in surprise as she asked, “You know German?”
“A Little.”
She asked again, “Did you get a KDS certification?”
“Yeah. I passed C2,” he said curtly, eyes on the paper. While in military school, he passed the middle- level B2 test. But then he was assigned an important mission where he needed extra fluency, talking to actual German operatives. In order to fulfill the mission objectives, he studied hard and passed the high-level C2 test.
Blair was utterly shocked. She had only gotten to B2, and it was her job to translate things! But Wesley passed the C2 exam! “Seriously?”

“Maybe he never lies, but he doesn’t always tell the whole truth. A little? He’s way too humble, ‘ Blair thought.
“Have you studied in
A N G E L A ‘s L I B R A R Y
Germany?” She was so curious about his past.
“Uh huh. 6 months.” To improve his Language skills, he had stayed in
Germany for nearly seven months, together with Curtis.
Blair envied him so much. With her chin propped up on both of her hands, she stared at the man adoringly.
“I learned by rote, cramming the vocabulary into my brain. I used to practice with my German teacher at university. She liked me, I think.” In fact, back when she was about to end her studies in England, she wanted to continue with the advanced studies in Germany. But that was a chunk of change. She didn’t want to ask so much money from her uncle, so she gave up on the idea, and cback to Alorith after she got her master’s degree.
Wesley threw her a glance.
“You look wistful. Any regrets about studying abroad?”
Blair shook her head.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“No.” After all, it wasn’t easy for her to study abroad alone. She didn’t want to go through that again. She envied
Wesley because he had an easier way to Learn the language.
Wesley sat opposite her and grabbed a pen. He pointed at a paragraph in the article and explained, “This is how a theatrical troupe is set up, and the different parts of a play that might need to be performed… It also has a brief introduction about the development of German comedies, from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment period. If you cacross similar articles next time, use this as a starting point…”
Blair listened attentively to his explanation. Together with the context, she finally had a full understanding of the article.
No wonder she felt something was wrong with her translation. She didn’t understand a few sentences. Wesley’s explanation helped her out a lot.
Her excitement was beyond words. She had spent almost an hour trying to understand the logic of this paragraph, but Wesley figured it out in just a few minutes. Besides, he had even shared some shortcuts to translate German into Chinese. Blair stared at Wesley with gratitude.
“Thank you so much, Colonel Wesley! You saved my Life again.”
“Saved your Life?’ Wesley was stunned by her exaggeration. Surely this couldn’t be a matter of life and death.
Blair Lowered her head and began taking notes. Wesley walked around the desk and stood next to her.
