Hillman said happily, “Then I told him that I met a friend at school. He was very happy and asked me to play with you more. By the way, he also asked me to bring a gift over, which I will give to you later, saying that he wanted to thank you for your care.”
No, wait! When did I play with you? What the hell is going on? It feels like they are in a completely different channel. Even a triple jump is not this different.
Jiang Hui had nothing to say. She really wanted to say something, but after looking at the other person's face, which still looked a little immature, and in fact quite childish, she fell silent.
For a while, one was talking and the other was listening silently. The scene seemed quite harmonious until someone suddenly broke the silence.
Hearing someone calling them from behind, they both turned around and looked behind them almost at the same time.
Jiang Hui stood up subconsciously: "Teacher Stark."
Although Hillman didn't know this man very well, he recognized the military uniform he was wearing. He was obviously an assistant officer of a high rank. As soon as he saw Jiang Hui's reaction, he stood up and greeted him.
"Have you finished eating?" He looked down at the plates on the table for both of them.
In fact, there was no other meaning, just a reminder to the two. But at this moment, Jiang Hui and Hillman instinctively felt the wrist holding Kuaizi tighten.
"I'm done eating." Jiang Hui's mouth spoke faster than his brain.
In fact, she was really full and there wasn't much left. Because she had heard too much gossip, she no longer had the appetite to finish the rest. It was true that she had finished it.
"I'm done eating." Hillman followed suit without showing any weakness. But there was a lot of food on his plate, and he was talking the whole time, not really eating, so he just said "I'm done eating" casually.
"Have you finished eating? Why are there so many left? Food is hard to come by, don't waste it."
Now the two of them didn't dare to speak. It seemed that the other party was going to stand there and watch them eat, and had no intention of leaving. So they could only grab the cutlery and mechanically stuff it into their mouths. Jiang Hui stuffed the remaining few pieces into his mouth, while Hillman devoured them voraciously.
The two of them hurriedly finished the food on the plate. They couldn't taste anything at all. It was tasteless.
Stark was speechless as he looked at the two people who looked like they were about to cry because of being choked. Did he say anything
"Okay, look at how little you can do... I came to look for you. It just so happens that you two are together, so I don't have to look for you separately. Come on, follow me." After saying that, he turned around and left without caring whether the two people behind him followed or not.
Jiang Hui and Hillman were naturally confused. But Jiang Hui followed him out of trust in Uncle Tang, and Hillman followed Jiang Hui. The three of them, this strange group, boarded an airship and left the school.
Along the way, Jiang Hui wanted to ask Stark what he was doing with them. But Stark led them all the way in a hurry, and then took charge of driving the airship. By the time they reacted, the three of them had already stopped in front of a tall building.
Even though Jiang Hui had never been here before, she recognized it immediately. Isn't this a hospital? It used the same sign as the district medium-sized hospital she had been to before. But this hospital seemed taller and covered a larger area.
Stark finally took the initiative to answer their questions: "This is the military hospital of this planet. Someone wants to see you. Come with me."
Hospital, someone wants to see them... Putting these two things together, Jiang Hui immediately thought of someone.
"Warrant Officer Mace, who you rescued a few days ago, woke up today. He and his family said they hope to meet you."
"Don't worry, I've already asked for your leave, and the school has approved it, so there won't be any problems." Stark said in a relaxed tone. Perhaps because he was outside the school and had somewhat escaped the serious teacher-student relationship, his tone and attitude became more relaxed.
He also told the two to follow closely and not to wander around randomly.
Instructor Mays woke up. The two looked at each other and then followed him unconsciously.
They followed Stark around the corner to a sparsely populated elevator, up to the 37th floor, and finally into one of the wards.
The huge room only had one bed and all the necessary furniture. The whole environment was very spacious and more like a convalescent room.
However, the other person still had his eyes tightly closed and his face was pale. He had lost weight after not seeing him for two days and there was no sign that he had woken up. It was obvious that the rescue efforts of more than ten hours had cost him his life.
But at least I can save my life in the end. Everything else can be recovered.
At this moment, Jiang Hui finally felt the reality of his boots hitting the ground. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he was relieved or had some other complicated emotions.
Both of them focused their attention on the person on the bed, and didn't pay much attention to who else was in the huge ward.
But Stark would not ignore it, because these two people present were not ordinary people.
Stark took off his hat and raised his right fist to the level of his heart to the front of the military uniform man standing with his back to them. He saluted solemnly and said, "Captain Stark of the Eighth Legion greets Lieutenant General and Lieutenant Colonel Mace."
The other party's movements were so big and the sound was so loud that it immediately attracted the two children who were completely unaware of the situation.
Jiang Hui then realized that there were other people in the room, and... Lieutenant General, is it that Lieutenant General
Looking at Stark's rare look of respect, Jiang Hui didn't even feel that there was a lieutenant general in the room.
Jiang Hui wanted to greet him loudly and politely, but she remembered that she was not a formal soldier and was a rookie who had not even learned the proper military salute. So for a moment she didn't know what to do, so she could only straighten her back and wanted to just say "Hello, Lieutenant General".
The man standing with his back to the bed finally turned around after hearing this. He was a very handsome middle-aged man, but his aura and facial expression were all solemn.
The officer, who looked like he had been through a lot, glanced at the two younger ones and relaxed his brows slightly, as if trying to relax his overly serious demeanor. But he failed in the end and could only say slowly, "You're here, Captain Stark."
Then he seemed to have finally regained some of his relaxed atmosphere, and said with a slight smile, “This is classmate Jiang and classmate Hillman, right? Don’t be too nervous, you are still students, there is no need to be polite. It won’t be too late to perform the ceremony after you actually join the army.”
"By the way, I am not here today as a lieutenant general, but as... the father of this child."
"I'm here to thank you for saving my child." He walked up to the two of them with a smile, bowed slightly, and touched their heads.
