Huo Jun left the academy and went to the military. With his academic qualifications and the fact that he was arranged by the emperor himself, he did not need to start from the initial level. He was promoted to the rank of lieutenant right away. However, because of this, he was busier than others.
On the first day he left, Su Yi didn't feel anything at first. It was just that after class, she was alone and had no interest in walking slowly, so she hailed a hovercraft and went straight back to the dormitory, then ordered takeout.
After she finished her shower, she leaned back on the sofa and read the news. She flipped through the news but couldn't find anything interesting, so she became bored.
In the past, at this time, she and Huo Jun had just separated. He would go to the training ground to practice and send her messages while practicing. The content of the messages might not have any substantive meaning. They were just chatting. Sometimes they would even start a video call. The two of them would mind their own business and occasionally look up at each other.
He hadn't contacted her since tonight.
Su Yi crossed out a piece of news that said Huo Jun's mother had won the emperor's favor again thanks to her son, but the next page that popped up was gossip again. Normally, she might have read it with great interest, but today she had no interest in it and rolled around on the sofa holding the communicator.
Mao Tuan Tuan was holding a bag of potato chips that was bigger than him and watching a movie. His view was blocked by Su Yi who rolled over. He was about to move to the side but was grabbed by Su Yi.
"Son, talk to me."
Mao Tuantuan rolled his eyes secretly.
He finally understood why humans have a saying that there is the opposite sex but no humanity, and this saying applies to all living things.
In the past, when the wolf was around, Su Yi could go a whole day without looking for him, and sometimes he might not even be seen when he sat in front of her. Now that the magic wolf is gone, she calls him son. In fact, he really wants to argue with her. When it comes to age, it is not certain who is older between the two of them. Even though Mao Tuantuan is small, he has a long history. It is hard to say whether she should call him son or ancestor!
He repeated these words over and over in his mind many times, but he didn't have the courage to say them out loud, for he was afraid that the big devil would ask him to see what a real ancestor was.
"What?" he responded weakly.
"Just say anything, or you can dance for me?" Su Yi suggested.
Mao Tuan Tuan was convinced by her thinking, so he jumped up, kicked his two short legs, raised his paws, and said unhappily, "I jumped, are you sure you can see clearly?"
This is really a problem. It's just like a ball of fur squirming, and there is no beauty at all. Su Yi couldn't help but touch his chin and said, "Have you gained weight? You weren't so plump before, were you?"
"What do you mean plump? This is fur, it's fur! Winter is coming, we have to grow long fur to survive the winter, do you understand?" The fur ball jumped on the spot as if its fur was exploded.
Su Yi saw that every time he jumped, the layer on his belly would surge up and down like the wave. He still had the nerve to call it fur. How come she didn't know there was such thick fur
However, it is better not to point this out to prevent some fat guy from getting angry.
"If you say Mao is Mao, then it is Mao." Su Yi said perfunctorily.
Mao Tuan Tuan snorted, secretly sucked in his stomach, and sat down with his legs crossed, still mumbling unwillingly: "It's just Mao."
Huo Jun didn't contact her until the third day. If Su Yi hadn't been able to sense him, she would have suspected that he had been deceived and sold out by the emperor.
After only two days of not seeing him, he had become darker, with sunken eye sockets and dark circles under his eyes, as if he had escaped from somewhere. Fortunately, he was in good spirits and looked a little excited.
It turned out that on his first day of reporting to the military headquarters, he happened to catch an emergency drill. A famous officer had an emergency problem, so he was drafted into the army. He didn't even have to put down his bags, but directly handed in all his communication equipment, and then was sent to the wilderness with a group of soldiers.
In fact, no matter how short of manpower they were, they would not ask him to fill in when he didn't even understand the situation. Most likely someone was deliberately making things difficult for him to show him a warning. The military was complicated and even the emperor couldn't guarantee that all the troops there were his people, let alone him, a prince who had just been vindicated? Many people wanted to see him make a fool of himself.
Huo Jun knew the twists and turns involved, but he was too lazy to think about it for the time being. After all, with his current status, he had no say at all, and there was no point in thinking too much. He was just anxious to get his belongings back and contact Su Yi, so he overcame all obstacles and worked day and night. It took him two days to complete the task, and he successfully got the communicator back, and led his team to win first place.
Su Yi looked at his image and said, "Then go eat something, take a shower, and have a good sleep."
"I want to say a few more words to you." He looked at Su Yi eagerly, refusing to cut off the connection.
Su Yi then chatted with him for a few more words in a good temper, and Huo Jun reluctantly prepared to go wash up, still not letting Su Yi hang up.
However, when he walked into the bathroom and saw his current appearance clearly, he immediately regretted it. He stared in shock, looked at himself in the mirror, then looked at Su Yi, and immediately raised his hand to cover the stubble on his face.
Su Yi suppressed her laughter and said, "I've been looking at it for a long time, and you just discovered it?"
What kind of image can a person who hasn't shaved, washed his face, or slept for two days, and who has been trekking through mountains and rivers in the wild, rolling in the mud countless times, look like
She didn't think anything of it when she saw him just now, but now she found his actions funny. Did he always think he was still so handsome
Huo Jun covered his face with his hands, trying to save the last bit of handsomeness. His voice was a little unclear, "I'll shave first, and contact you later."
"I won't contact you later," Su Yi said, "Get some sleep and then come back to me, otherwise I won't talk to you."
Seeing her say that, he had no choice but to agree and reluctantly disconnected the connection.
Su Yi put down the communicator, hummed a song and went to wash up.
The military often has missions and sometimes closed training. Huo Jun comes from a practical combat background and is always on the front line. He is much busier than when he was in college, and it is common for him to lose contact with the outside world for several days in a row. However, as soon as the mission is over, the first thing he does is to find Su Yi first.
After a while, Su Yi gradually got used to his pattern of being silent for a few days and then suddenly coming back to life. He also saw someone in all kinds of sloppy looks.
This is quite strange. Huo Jun has always paid attention to his image in front of her. Even now, whenever he realizes that he has a scruffy beard, he subconsciously wants to cover his face. But every time a mission is over, he forgets to tidy himself up first, and instead rushes to contact Su Yi as soon as possible.
This reminded Mao Tuantuan of a classic saying: People in love are all fools.
As the days passed, Sui welcomed her first winter in this world.
She has gradually become familiar with the girls in college. They occasionally go to and from school together, eat together, and chat about fashion, gossip, etc.
However, the topic often comes back to her. After all, she is engaged, and her fiancé is the only prince of the empire. In the eyes of those girls, this alone is enough for them to talk about it a hundred times without getting tired of it.
"Su Yi, Senior Huo has been in the military for almost two months, right? The academy will be on vacation soon. Do you want to go look for him?"
"You can't just go to the military whenever you want." said another girl.
The girl from before said, "But Su Yi and Senior Huo are not ordinary people."
"Yes," someone agreed, "Su Yi is the future princess consort. No matter how many rules the military has, she should be allowed to go through."
Su Yi listened and wanted to say that you are overthinking it. The prince's wife sounds very privileged, but even Prince Huo Jun has to work hard, so what special treatment can she get
But she didn't need to. If she wanted to see Huo Jun, there was always a way, and she didn't need to alarm anyone.
"Wow, it's cold."
"Oh my god, my teeth are chattering."
A few people left the teaching building. A gust of cold wind blew and the girls shivered immediately.
The winter in the capital planet is usually not very cold, and many girls still wear short skirts to and from school. However, the weather was fine in the morning, but the temperature suddenly dropped and it even snowed, which caught everyone off guard.
Su Yi was wearing a thick coat and didn't feel anything, but the girls in skirts didn't care about their manners at this moment and stamped their feet to keep warm.
"Su Yi, you are really smart. No, I won't leave. I want to take a bus back."
But in this kind of weather, other people didn't want to walk, and even to call a hovercraft, they had to queue up, so many people had to huddle in the cold wind.
In the crowd of people who looked like quails, Huo Jun's appearance was particularly conspicuous. He was wearing a military uniform, which was different from the school uniform style in the academy. It was a formal military uniform, and leather boots on his feet. He looked broad-shouldered, long-legged, tall and handsome.
He got off the hovercraft, scattered snowflakes falling on his shoulders, and he leaned against the car and looked at Sui.
"Oh my god, so handsome."
"Su Yi, Senior Huo is here to see you."
"He looks so good in a military uniform."
The girls stared at him blankly, with envy on their faces: "Wow, why don't I have such a handsome boyfriend? I don't even need him to be a prince, as long as he is half as handsome as Senior Huo."
Su Yi was also a little surprised. She said goodbye to the girls and ran towards Huo Jun.
Huo Jun pulled her into the car directly and did not let go, but held her hand in his palm.
Su Yi looked at him carefully. Although they often met through video, there was some difference between the virtual image and the real person.
"Why are you here suddenly?" The two hadn't been in touch for three days. Su Yi knew that he was busy and had been waiting for the communicator to ring, but she didn't expect him to suddenly come over.
Huo Jun smiled and said, "I applied for two days of vacation. Is it cold?"
Sue shook her head, "Not bad."
Huo Jun then realized that her eyes were always on his face. He instinctively wanted to touch his chin, but he stopped halfway and glanced at his face in the rearview mirror. Then he said confidently, "Remember to shave this time."
Su Yi smiled and nodded. Didn't she remember? Perhaps it was more than that. When she got close to him, she smelled a faint woody scent on him. He never wore perfume before. He really tried hard to save his image.
The author has something to say: Male protagonist: I think I am handsome even with a beard, really.
