After being severely beaten, everyone thought that Lu Kongbin's anger had calmed down a bit, but the next morning, he knocked on Wen Xingchen's door again on time.
It's been like this for a week.
Just when Wen Xingchen doubted whether he could walk out of Lu's house alive, the suffering finally ended.
That afternoon, Lu Kongbin called him and Lu Jingning to the study room, and said with the majesty of an old father: "I have already said hello to Wen Muqiao. I pushed too much, when the time is almost up, I will hold a grand engagement banquet for the two of you, and make things completely settled."
As he spoke, he glanced at Wen Xingchen fiercely, and said word by word: "It's already been like that, if you intend to be irresponsible, I promise to wring your neck off with a click."
Wen Xingchen inevitably felt a chill in his neck, and frankly promised: "Everything is arranged by uncle."
Lu Kongbin was somewhat unhappy when he thought of marrying his own son into Wen's family, but Wen Xingchen had promised him that the two of them would move out in the future, so he didn't say anything more and waved his hand Let them go.
As soon as he got out of the study door, Lu Jingning pushed him up, and asked with a smile, "Brother Wen, are you happy?"
Wen Xingchen nodded with great sincerity: "Well, happy."
Lu Jingning: "Just smile when you're happy."
Wen Xingchen looked down at him, and the corner of his mouth, which was still covered with wounds, curled up in an extremely gentle arc.
Before you know it, a lot of days have passed, and the Chinese New Year is approaching.
On the afternoon when Lu Kongbin talked to them, Wen Muqiao sent Wen Xingchen a message.
Normally, Wen Xingchen probably didn't plan to get through at all, but thinking that it might have something to do with Lu Jingning's engagement, this time he didn't hang up directly like before.
Wen Muqiao also knew what her son was thinking, and immediately talked about the most important things that Wen Xingchen was most concerned about as soon as he got connected. Said: "This year's Chinese New Year, do you plan to go home?"
Wen Xingchen originally wanted to refuse, but hearing the expectant voice from the other side, he was silent for a moment, and finally replied: "I'll go back in a few days."
After all, he and Lu Jingning don't have a formal legal relationship yet, and staying for the New Year is tantamount to hindering Lu Kongbin's eyes. It doesn't matter anything else, just fear that the goodwill that was finally built up will fall back to negative numbers accidentally.
Moreover, many things can't be explained clearly through communication and dialogue alone, and they still need to be discussed in detail in person.
He had a problem with Wen Muqiao, but Lu Jingning couldn't be wronged just because of this opinion.
If possible, when the actual engagement day comes, he wants to bring the best banquet in the entire universe to him.
When Lu Jingning heard that Xingchen was going home for the New Year, he was somewhat surprised.
But soon, he was also happy that the relationship between the father and son had eased.
Regarding the internal affairs of the Wen family, although he never said a word, subconsciously he still wanted Wen Xingchen to be good.
If the family is harmonious, it can be more or less happier.
After the two of them spent another few days, Lu Jingning sent Wen Xingchen to the light ship and watched the ship disappear into the sky before returning home.
The days without Wen Xingchen became a bit boring. Apart from flattering Lu Kongbin every day, his daily life consisted of scheduled hologram chat time every night.
Overall, the days are pretty comfortable.
Before you know it, the holiday has passed.
Seeing that the day of returning to school was approaching, Lu Jingning asked casually during the daily video recording that night: "Brother Wen, when are you going to go back to school?"
Wen Xingchen thought for a while: "Probably a few days earlier."
He has been at home for long enough, although the relationship with Wen Muqiao is not as tense as before, but after all the years of estrangement, the father and son still can't speak a few words on a daily basis, and it doesn't feel too big to continue to stay the meaning of.
"Then you can wait for me at school! The old road refused to let me leave too early, and insisted on letting me go on the back-to-school day." Lu Jingning complained, "It's too old to be so clingy. There is no way to take him. I will tell you after I buy the ticket, remember to come and pick me up!"
Wen Xingchen laughed: "Uncle's relationship with you is really enviable."
Lu Jingning took a look at the expression of the person in the holographic image, smiled and hooked the corners of his mouth: "What are you envious of? From now on, Lao Lu will also be your father."
Wen Xingchen pondered for a while, and replied, "Yes, it's also my father."
However, it would be even better if you didn't want to beat him up as soon as you met him.
…
On the day of returning to school, as soon as Lu Jingning walked out of the safety exit, he saw Wen Xingchen standing not far away, smiled and waved to him.
Wen Xingchen was wearing light-colored casual clothes.
The loose clothes are hanging down casually, and the hair is a little longer after a holiday. I can't say exactly what it feels like, but it makes people feel that the whole person's temperament has changed a lot compared to when they first met.
Although there are videos posted every day, Lu Jingning still can't help but want to watch more.
Wen Xingchen naturally took over the huge suitcase, and took Lu Jingning onto the short-distance aircraft waiting outside the door.
The two started to set off for the campus of the Imperial Navy University.
When they reached the downstairs of the dormitory, Wen Xingchen wanted to send Lu Jingning up, but he stopped him.
Received the questioning gaze from the other party, Lu Jingning cleared his throat and said, "The school bully stayed at school for the whole holiday and didn't come home. Is it a bit inhumane to feed him a mouthful of dog food as soon as school starts? ?”
Wen Xingchen thought for a while, then looked at him sideways: "It seems a bit?"
Lu Jingning nodded, thinking that he had realized his good intentions, and turned to leave, but found that Wen Xingchen was still holding the suitcase in his hand, and he couldn't pull it out for a while.
He blinked and reminded, "Brother Wen?"
Wen Xingchen took a few steps forward slightly, looked down at him, the smile in his expression was very faint but very gentle: "I haven't seen you for so long, don't you miss me?"
After all, the two were influential figures in the school. Just standing on the road, the people next to them seemed to pass by casually, but in fact there were countless eyes cast from all directions, silently gathering on them.
During the Bounty Tournament, Lu Jingning had almost exhausted his life's shame, and now he started to feel embarrassed in front of his classmates.
Under Wen Xingchen's questioning, he cleared his throat, and coaxed: "Of course I want to! Isn't school starting again? We can see each other every day again, aren't you very happy?"
"Happy. But it's not enough."
Every time Wen Xingchen uttered a word, he took a step forward, and he was almost within walking distance of Lu Jingning.
At this time, he had a very familiar iconic smile on his face, and his low words meant something: "After all, we met on the first day after the holiday. As a boyfriend, should you give me something to express?" ?”
Many people were observing in secret. At this time, they covered their mouths excitedly under the interaction between the two, so that they didn't let the CP suckers on the scene scream.
Some people quietly took out the terminals, the number of which covered almost all angles, and the photos taken in the blink of an eye built the first CP building of the new semester on the campus forum.
It is worthy of being their fan's CP, the dog food is fresh and enough, the love of the gods!
Lu Jingning's first thought was actually to reject this kind of blatant flirting, but under Wen Xingchen's staring gaze, he didn't seem to have the heart to do so.
So, the words that came to his mouth turned around, and finally he swallowed them back.
He was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, and pecked lightly on the face that was close by.
Suddenly there was a loud noise around, and I don't know how many people walked without looking at their feet, and turned over with their suitcases.
Listening to the voices coming and going, Lu Jingning asked angrily, "Is that enough?"
Wen Xingchen held back the smile in his eyes, and gently pointed to his mouth: "What about here?"
"Let's talk about it next time!"
With all his strength, Lu Jingning pulled the suitcase out of his hand, turned around and ran upstairs quickly.
Yan Hebin in the dormitory only heard the door being pushed open, and there was a violent knock against the wall.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Lu Jingning rushing in menacingly.
A trace of astonishment flashed across his brows, and he couldn't help but glance at the date: "I'm in such a hurry, do you have class today?"
Lu Jingning casually threw the luggage on the table, and asked, "Do I seem to be the kind of person who rushes to class?"
Indeed not.
Yan Hebin didn't say anything more, and continued to shift his attention to the new mecha tutorial written by the scientific research department in his hand with a calm face.
…
Soon, all the colleges and universities across the empire re-entered the rhythm of normal classes.
However, at this time, the top military officials fell into a vague uneasiness.
Perhaps because the restoration work of the Poisonous Night Crystal was nearing completion, the Zerg race, which had been silent for many years, began to move again.
First, their traces were found on the non-living stars on the edge of the fourth galaxy, and then, at the junction of the eighth galaxy closest to the Zerg, small-scale wars began to occur one after another.
This situation does not only occur in the empire, but also in the friendly federal republic.
The long period of tranquility made humans almost forget the years of fighting the Zerg. After the incident, such news was quickly suppressed by the leadership in order not to cause turmoil.
But whether it is the empire or the federation, they can temporarily conceal their own people, but the high-level generals cannot turn a blind eye to these disturbing signs.
They found that the current Zerg is no longer the same as it was back then, both in terms of number and combat effectiveness.
On one side is the defeated race who has been waiting for a comeback, and on the other side is the former king who has been lax for many years in peacetime.
At such a critical juncture when a crisis could erupt at any time, large-scale conscription could not be carried out. The high-level military departments of the Empire and the Federation discussed together for nearly ten days and finally made a series of resolutions.
Of course, most of these resolutions are matters that the management needs to deal with, and only one of them will have an incomparably far-reaching impact on military students in various countries.
For the necessary response, the empire and the federation have decided to form a common alliance army from now on.
As for the first batch of soldiers, in addition to being recommended by various troops, they will be recruited first from top military academies.
A top military academy like the Imperial Navy University is undoubtedly on the list of recruits.
