After several months, Sui Yi boarded the spaceship again and returned to the Su family.
Although the Su family was not ranked high compared with the nobles on the capital planet, it was one of the largest families on the second planet. Especially after Su Yi and Huo Jun got engaged, the Su family, with the help of the royal family, became the most prominent family at that time.
Such a family must have many members. Originally, Miss Su's talent and potential were mediocre, and she was not taken seriously. Even when she went to study at the Royal Academy, she was only sent by hired crew members. But this time when she came back, many people came to pick her up. After returning home, people both familiar and unfamiliar came to visit her. Su Yi had to deal with them for several days.
According to news reports, Imperial troops have arrived at the border to join forces stationed there.
Military strongholds are no different from other places. Huo Jun told Su Yi before leaving that they might not be able to keep in touch often in the future. Su Yi had already prepared herself mentally, and she was not really a teenage girl, so she did not find it difficult.
On the other hand, Huo Jun's life was not easy.
The border between the Empire and the Zerg is a planet far away from the star. The climate is cold and the orbital period is long. The planet is desolate everywhere and supplies need to be transported from other places.
The harsh external conditions were only secondary. Huo Jun had never enjoyed anything since he was a child. He could endure material scarcity and bad climate. The only thing he could not adapt to was the inability to contact Su Yi.
In the past, he was alone and had never experienced the feeling of worry. He stayed in the dense forest and the desert for several months without even anyone to talk to, but he did not feel lonely. But in the first week after arriving here, he thought of Sui countless times.
According to the regulations of the base, they only have one chance to contact the outside world in a month. After completing the training targets every day, Huo Jun would either count on his fingers how many days were left, or stare silently at the direction of the Zerg territory in the deep and dark universe, wishing that a bug would appear immediately so that he could vent his boredom.
Huo Jun was also a celebrity in the army, leading a small team. Initially, those people were not convinced, thinking that he was just a green boy, and a prince at that, who must have been pampered since childhood, had a bad temper and was full of airs, and that he could only boss them around because he was born into a good family.
Huo Jun didn't waste any words. He led the team to win good results in several drills and beat them into submission during training. Only then did these soldiers truly respect him.
They were obedient, after all, they were older than him and had been in the army for many years, so they were all veterans. It was impossible for them to be as obedient as Huang Cangcang and others. When not on missions, they often joked with Huo Jun and told some dirty jokes, and laughed when he obviously didn't understand, or when he understood and showed embarrassment.
However, this was only in the beginning. Huo Jun made rapid progress in everything he learned, and this aspect was no exception. He could soon remain calm in the face of all kinds of dirty jokes, and even make fun of them back, causing his teammates to express regret.
The first month was the most difficult. There was no entertainment at all. When I looked up, I saw a barren land with a dark sky above my head. Every day in the base, it was nothing but boring training. On the day when I could contact the outside world, Huo Jun was almost the first one to run to get his communicator, and then he couldn't wait to contact Su Yi.
The two of them are separated by the vast sea of stars, not only by the distance in space, but also by the gap in time.
Su Yi was woken up in the early morning. Hearing the ringtone specially set for Huo Jun, she turned on the bedside lamp and answered the call while lying on the pillow.
"Hello… "
Seeing her sleepy look, Huo Jun calmed down his excited mind and asked, "Did I wake you up?"
"Not bad." Su Yi yawned, rubbed her eyes, turned over on the bed with her hands, and sat against the head of the bed. Her long hair, which was always neat and tidy, was now scattered on her shoulders, and some of it was mischievously sticking into her collar.
Seeing her so lazy, Huo Jun couldn't help but hold the communicator in front of himself, as if this would allow him to see Su Yi more clearly.
Su Yi picked up the cup of water on the bedside table and took a sip of water. Then she held the cup and looked at Huo Jun, examining him carefully.
Neither of them spoke for a moment, just looking at each other.
"I seem to have lost some weight." Su Yi said after a long time.
Huo Jun smiled and said, "It's just that my body fat percentage has decreased, my weight hasn't changed."
Su Yi remembered that he was full of muscles before, with six-pack abs and two big pectoral muscles. Now his body fat percentage is still decreasing. Doesn't that mean he is getting less and less fat
"If the meat is too tough, it won't taste good. It's better to have some fat and some lean meat."
Huo Jun laughed: "Am I just a piece of meat in your eyes?"
Su Yi said, "More than one piece. For a guy as big as you, there should be at least five, six, seven or eight pieces."
Huo Jun smiled for a while, as if he had thought of something. He stroked his chin, looked Su Yi up and down in a pretentious manner, and said seriously, "I am not delicious, but you must be delicious. You are white and tender, with the right amount of fat and lean, fresh and juicy."
Su Yi was putting the water cup back on the bedside. When she heard this, she sat back down, looked at him and asked, "Should I understand this seriously or frivolously?"
"If you want to be serious, be serious. If you don't want to be serious, then-" Huo Jun smiled and didn't finish his words.
Su Yi sighed softly, looking very sad, "It's over. The simple, innocent, positive and good boy has become dirty."
Huo Jun laughed out loud.
After chatting and laughing for a while, Su Yi asked him, "How is it, can you still adapt?"
Huo Jun nodded. The bad external conditions were nothing to him. He just missed Su Yi. Now that he saw her and talked to her for a few words, all the negative emotions accumulated over the past month disappeared. Before the contact was broken, he was already looking forward to next month's.
Knowing that his affairs could not be disclosed to the outside world, Su Yi did not ask too much. She stroked the quilt and told him about her recent situation. At the end, she complained, "Your place is quiet, but I have to deal with groups of people all day long. These are all things that happened after I got engaged to you. I found that being a prince's consort is not fun at all. I don't enjoy any privileges, but there are a lot of restrictions."
Huo Jun had the same feeling. If he was not a prince and entered the military with his own abilities, his promotion might be slower, but he would also be much more comfortable and would not have to live in the eyes of the world. If it were not for the threat from the emperor, he would really want to be an ordinary person.
"Sorry." If she hadn't been with him, Su Yi wouldn't have to go through all this, but she couldn't let him go.
Su Yi rolled her eyes at him, not appreciating the gesture at all. "What are you apologizing for? It's not your turn to say this."
Huo Jun didn't know what to say, so he heard Su Yi continue: "The one who should really apologize is your scumbag father, so you have to work hard and protect yourself. I'm still waiting for the two of us to defeat him together."
Huo Jun was stunned for a moment, then raised the corner of his mouth and said from the bottom of his heart: "Okay."
They didn't have much time to talk, and soon they had to say goodbye.
Su Yi looked at the time and did not continue to sleep. Through the curtains, she could see that there was already a faint morning light in the sky outside and the sound of servants walking around in the courtyard.
"I have a feeling that this battle line will be very long and Huo Jun won't be able to come back in a short time." She said to Mao Tuantuan.
Mao Tuan Tuan flipped through the original story and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Su Yi's intuition. In the original story, after years of stalemate between humans and Zerg, the birth of a new Zerg queen broke the short-lived peace. It was in this long war that several protagonists rose one after another by relying on military merit.
"What are you going to do?"
"Don't do anything for now." Su Yi said. The war hasn't really broken out yet, so it's too early to talk about plans now. However, if Huo Jun needs her, she will always find a way to be by his side.
On the other end, before cutting off the connection, Su Yi blew a kiss to Huo Jun, causing him to smile at the air in front of him for a long time after the screen disappeared.
"Hey Captain! Come back to your senses!"
Huo Jun immediately put away the communicator and turned around to see five or six team members clinging to the door behind him, all with gossipy looks on their faces.
Huo Jun frowned and asked, "How long have you been watching here?"
The oldest member of the team, everyone else called him Lao Chen. Lao Chen just waved his hand and said with a grin, "I didn't see anything. I just heard the last goodbye."
Of course Huo Jun didn't believe it and had already planned the training plan for the next period of time in his mind.
Old Chen saw his expression, walked in from outside the door and said loudly: "I really didn't see it, don't you think so?" He asked the person outside the door for confirmation.
There was a man who looked honest, and they all called him Xiao Lin. He patted his chest and assured, "Captain, Lao Chen really didn't see anything. He just muttered a few words, saying that the captain's fiancée looked so young, like a little baby. I don't know how the captain could have the heart to do that to her."
"You villain!" Old Chen jumped up and kicked Xiao Lin, but Xiao Lin dodged it.
Xiao Lin ran around Huo Jun while shouting, "Captain, everything I said was true. Lao Chen was the first to eavesdrop. I was the last one to come, and I didn't hear anything!"
"I can testify for Xiao Lin. He only said that the captain was really stupid. It was like he was lucky that he had a fiancée. He didn't say anything else." The third person stood up and said solemnly.
Xiao Lin rushed towards him and yelled, "You slandered me!"
Huo Jun stood in the middle and just wanted to roll his eyes at the sky.
He knew they didn't hear anything, otherwise they would have noticed it long ago. These people just love to stir up trouble and hope that the world will not be in chaos. Although they look older than him, their unreliable personalities made him really think that someone was deliberately making trouble for him and giving him a bunch of stupid teammates when he first came.
"Captain, what Xiaolin said actually makes sense." In between the chases, Lao Chen did not forget to give Huo Jun some adult advice, "Who blows kisses when chatting with their girlfriend? You should show her!"
"That's right, Captain, show off your chest and abdominal muscles. I guarantee your girlfriend will be completely devoted to you."
"You can show your bottom if necessary!"
Huo Jun couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he walked away, wanting to stay away from these dirty adults.
