Hothbei set out to upgrade the original mechs in Kuya's station, which was an extra task outside of the project, and he insisted on squeezing out time to do it within the original construction period. With a lot of work, he was very busy, and he was always stuck in the old warehouse where the mechs were modified.

Ryan would come over to see him every day, and sometimes they would go to lunch together and take time to talk.

"Xiao Huo, it's been too hard for you these days." Ryan patted Hosnorth gratefully on the shoulder. This junior of his, is not ambiguous, and the improved mecha is very satisfying to him.

"Nothing." Hosbei shook his head and smiled, "It will be completed in two days." ”

Ryan was really embarrassed, Hoss North was dressed in overalls, and his face was tired, which was not comparable to the refreshing appearance when he first came to the station. They asked for a lot of work, and they didn't entertain him yet.

"I have a remote place here, and it is difficult to eat and live, so you can bear more." Ryan said apologetically.

Huo Sibei chuckled disappreciatively, paused for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Ryan, is Ilan busy?" ”

"Busy, running outside with a planting robot every day, it is said that she wants seedlings, I don't understand her set." Ryan wanted to shake his head when he talked about Ilan, and unconsciously complained a few words, "I haven't seen anything like this, I really regret giving her that piece of land." ”

Huo Sibei and Ryan walked out of the warehouse together, lowered their eyes when they heard the words, and said after a while: "Is the land very big?" ”

"How dare I?" Ryan laughed, "She wants a lot, but what does it look like to be planted with grain and vegetables outside the station?" I only gave her a small piece and let her make a little fuss. ”

Huo Sibei pulled the corners of his mouth as if he was smiling. The heart is even more gloomy.

When he and Ryan arrived at the restaurant, the two took their seats. Hoth looked around quickly, but Elan was nowhere to be seen. He had never met Elan at mealtime.

Since he came to the Kuya station. The scope of his daily activities is limited to the mecha warehouse, the restaurant, and the reception for foreign guests, and there are so many things to do that he has no time or opportunity to meet Ilan.

Hosbei hid the look of loss in his eyes, looking forward to being able to talk to Yilan again before leaving after all the work was successfully completed.

On this day, Hothbei finally finished upgrading and modifying all mechs and prepared to bid farewell to Ryan.

After a few thanks and politeness. Hosbei hesitated slightly, as if he was considering his words, and then said directly: "Ryan." I thought of leaving her in the Elan office. ”

Huo Sibei originally wanted to use the excuse of returning the mecha training uniform to euphemistically ask to see Ilan, but after thinking about it, he chose to be straightforward, and his mind never had to be hidden. What about being open-minded?

Ryan scolded Ellan a thousand times in his heart. She ran away quietly and threw her ex-boyfriend's mess at him. He looked at Shanghus North with a calm look that could not hide his hope, and said stubbornly: "Ilan went to the Benoy base yesterday to participate in the selection exam of the cooking competition, and he will not be able to come back until three days. ”

Ryan watched Huo Sibei's face change suddenly, and couldn't help but explain weakly: "This is an order from the Benoy base. "Actually, it's, it's true that the base asked her to take the selection exam, but the time is not so tight, and she can go any day in the past two days. The girl had to use the excuse of familiarizing herself with the venue in advance, and she slipped away yesterday. Isn't it just deliberately avoiding the last side of her ex-boyfriend?

Ryan held his face seriously, didn't dare to show any expression, and smiled and apologized? He was afraid that the slightest smile would stimulate Huo Sibei, sympathy and sigh? Then it's even more unacceptable, he can't hurt people's hearts by his subordinates, and he, a superior, will hurt people's faces again.

Ryan looked at Hosbei and pursed his lips silently, his expression was suddenly gloomy, he really didn't want to go, he couldn't help but remind Yilan yesterday, is it okay to take care of the work at hand and wait until today to leave? That's a hint to her, it's okay to leave, politeness must be in place, no matter how you say it, it's an old classmate, and you have to squeak with others.

The girl pretended to be sluggish, and replied to him, and she arranged it all, and just floated away.

But the angry thing is that he really believed it, thinking that the girl would say goodbye to Huo Sibei in the video, dare to love her and play him along, if he knew that the girl didn't have the slightest bearing, he would hold her down, let her send Huo Sibei away with a smile today, it's not easy for people, this month to work for them, I haven't complained a word of hard work, just rush this, the master should be generous, right? The more Ryan thought about it, the more he felt sorry for Hoth.

"So, Ryan, I'm taking my leave." It took a long time for Hosbei to find his voice, and when he got up, his face had already put away the confusion and bitterness that had suddenly been struck, and he shook Ryan's hand and said goodbye in a measured manner.

Ryan glanced at Huo Sibei's outstretched hand, ignored it directly, stretched out his arm, hooked Huo Sibei's shoulder, and punched him in the shoulder: "Xiao Huo, what are you pretending to be polite to me?" Still aren't the two of us out of the same trench? ”

It's no wonder that he reminded him of the relationship between him and Huo Sibei who used to train together as brothers, he was afraid that Huo Sibei would not resent the girl, and instead blamed him, the senior, for not using his authority to keep the dead girl.

Huo Sibei went from a gaffe to a return to normal in a moment, and now his performance is calm and steady, his junior brother's rank is not much higher than that girl, look at Huo Sibei's immobility, it is estimated that he has his own calculations, and it will be impossible to stop easily for a while and a half, Ryan is afraid that Huo Sibei will also encircle him into the enemy range to be conquered.

The handshake between the two was changed by Ryan to a good hug between the brothers.

"Xiao Huo, you are now in the Mecha Research Institute, if there is any problem with my mecha in the future, you can't refuse." Ryan said.

A smile appeared on the corner of Hoss's lips, and he said solemnly: "Ryan, if there is anything I can help, just say." His expression and tone were very sincere, and his words were serious, not polite.

Ryan regretted it even more, that girl was not as good as Huo Sibei in terms of character, she would only prevaricate, but Huo Sibei was an honest gentleman, why did he stand next to that girl?

Ryan personally sent Hoth North to the airport, and on the way, the two had a relaxed topic, exchanged some information about the circle of classmates, and then cherished each other. Hothbei never mentioned Elan again, and Ryan didn't even mention it.

It wasn't until he sat on the edge of the bed in the rest compartment of the aircraft ship that he bowed his head, and Ilan knew that his parting was imminent. I didn't want to say goodbye to him either. He tossed and turned last night, thinking so much about what he wanted to say to her, and it turned out that she was gone by then.

Hoth came north to Kuya for a month. I've seen Ilan four times after that. On the first day, she took a photo, and on the second day, she had a meeting to get a car, and after a few words, she responded politely, and then after more than ten days, he changed the mecha and let her try it out, which was considered to be half an hour. The next week, they met once during the mecha confrontation training, and heard her call him Mr. Huo.

This past month. He was close to her, but out of reach.

Two days later, he arrived at the main planet of Iddu, and then returned to his lodgings for the night.

"Goodbye Elan". He silently typed in the password. Enter the next room to your own bedroom. The sky is still bright, illuminating the house elegant and warm. Everything was new, and no one had ever used it, and even a few times he had come in had not set foot in all these years.

Hosbei sat inside for a moment, looking around at the furnishings and remembering that he had finished renovating it three years ago. I rushed back to the research institute to report, but when I was leaving. I went to this room and sat for two or three minutes and enjoyed it alone. He remembered that he almost couldn't contain his excitement and wanted to pass the image to Ilan, who was in Moss. In order to surprise her, Cai Sheng held back, thinking that when he finished his freshman military training and came back, he would hear her happy evaluation, at that time he didn't expect that this room would be vacant, and he didn't expect that he and her would be separated for so long.

He regretted not taking her with him when he graduated.

He regretted even more that he didn't leave Ilan on Moss and caused her to enlist in the army with Edu.

He regretted most that he didn't stay with her all the time.

When he got up to leave, Huo Sibei understood very well that when he changed Ilan's access control, he didn't want to say goodbye to Ilan, but wanted to see her again.

After returning to the research institute, Hoth became more and more silent, busy working on projects all day long, making up for his missing practical achievements, and the rest of the time was either boring mecha training or taking orders on the star network.

Sometimes on weekends he would call Ryan on a video call to talk to him about mechs, but he would not usually mention Ilan. If Ryan casually mentions Irlan's half-claws as he speaks, he listens attentively.

Let's talk about Ilan.

She successfully won a place in the cooking competition at the Benoy base, and when she returned to Kuya to enter the gate of the station, she was uncomfortable and relaxed, and her heart was still a little empty. She comforted herself and said that Huo Sibei was gone, and she would be in a bad mood for a few days at most in the future, and she would be able to live in peace again.

Ryan summoned her directly into the office and reprimanded her.

"Why did you come back so soon? Why don't you run a little further? You are a person who runs away as soon as you encounter difficulties, and we will go on missions together in the future, do I dare to hand over my back to you? ”

"Look at your back by yourself, I'm very busy, it's almost the end of the year, everyone is waiting to eat." Yilan didn't take any stubble at all, and directly got down to business.

Ryan looked at her for a long time, and said: "Beauty, Xiao Huo is not bad." ”

Ilan was stunned, not expecting Ryan to say this, with a dull expression on his face, and even a faint sadness.

This girl didn't know how many grievances she had suffered at that time, and she had no combat effectiveness if she mentioned it a little. Ryan sighed and immediately changed his tone: "Okay, there are many good people, and we can't take care of it, let's work hard, and we're running out of food." ”

Yilan was amused and sneered: "Don't worry, I can still let everyone have no food?" I've made the whole plan for the year-end dinner, so I'll show you. ”

"You didn't say anything about efficiency, but since you came here with me, everything has improved." Ryan jokingly flattered that this girl was his loyal confidant in Kuya, and when she returned to the Triumph base, she might have to do a mission with him from birth to death, even if she acted without grace, she was scared out, and he didn't say anything, he stood firmly on her side.

The two tacitly agreed not to mention Hosbei, and in the days that followed, they just calmly used his modified and upgraded mecha for training, and they were paid, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

It's just that when Ilan first trained on her mecha, she found a weed on the seat, with thin stems and sparse leaves, and two small light brown flowers at the top, which were so dry that they couldn't dry anymore.

With Ilan's experience of soaking the ground outside the station some time ago, she recognized that it was a weed in the field outside, which was in full bloom at this time, and there were also on the edge of the field training ground. When fresh, the flower should be pink, waving in the wind, and a little beautiful.

The withered grass was placed on the seat, and it could be seen that it was placed very carefully, and the thin stalks were still bent in an arc. The thin stem is broken and cross-sectional, and it is pinched neatly.

A long time ago, Ayu managed her farm very well, and there were few weeds in the fields. Hosbei once happened to find a wildflower on the ridge of a field, and by that time he had already recognized the appearance of the apple and the weed, and knew that other than that, it was all weeds that Elan did not want.

"I'll come." He bent down before her, and as he straightened up, he smiled and handed her the wildflowers, but with the roots and dirt.

After a while, Ilan came back to her senses, picked up the dry grass boy and took a closer look, and then looked around the seat, don't have any little reptiles, she is most afraid of those little things.

The withered grass, after training, was taken down by her, and as soon as her hand was loosened, she returned to the field and made green manure. (To be continued......)
