Ilan no longer cared about the two cars that were holding her all the way, and her finger quickly tapped the contact number of Hosbei, and a smile involuntarily came to her.

Soon Huo Sibei's face appeared on the virtual projection screen, and he looked excited, as if he was scurrying all the way: "Yilan." ”

"Abei." Ilan whispered in a trembling voice, trying to suppress his excitement.

"Where are you?" Hosbei asked hurriedly.

Ilan opened her mouth, but she couldn't make a sound, and she looked at Hosbei with a sad face.

"Elan, how are you?" Hosbei became more and more anxious, his gaze fixed on Ilan's face.

"Ah Bei, I was assigned to the Lonely Crane Star." She bit her lip, full of guilt.

"Lone Star?" Huo Sibei was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "Triumph base? The Iron Rose Mecha Regiment? ”

"You know?" Ilan asked in surprise that military bases are not usually announced to the general public.

Huo Sibei smiled reluctantly, he has been inquiring about the various military bases in the Edu Star District, although the information is not comprehensive, but the Iron Blood Rose Mecha Regiment is so famous, its base camp is not a secret, and people who study mecha know this place.

"Elan, how did you end up there? What do you usually do? Bitter or not? Hosbei asked in a loud voice.

Yilan was sad and moved, Huo Sibei's first reaction was not to blame her for not believing her words, but to ask her if she was bitter first.

"It's not bitter, I'm going to be a nutritionist," Yilan hurriedly relieved, "I make nutrients in the kitchen, how can it be bitter?" And the welfare of this mecha group is very good, I eat very well every day, I am afraid that I will gain weight. ”

Yilan said that she had thought about it in advance, and tried not to tell Sù Huo Sibei about physical training, he knew a lot about physical training, if he knew that she had to improve her physical fitness level, he could think that she would suffer, and he would inevitably feel sorry for her when the time came.

Therefore, her tone was very relaxed, and her expression was slightly distressed, as if she was worried about gaining weight.

Huo Sibei carefully looked at Yilan's eyebrows, and said softly for a while: "You have lost weight." ”

Ilan hurriedly laughed: "It's just that I cut my hair short and looks thin." ”

Hosbei stared at Ilan and didn't respond.

Yilan's gaze also roamed Huo Sibei's face, the last video was in the middle of the recruit training three months ago, his current appearance has not changed much from then, but at that time he was anxious and annoyed, and his voice was very high, but now he was staring at her softly and calmly, even if there was still urgency in his eyes, his eyebrows were not spread, but he was full of concern and pity. It's just that he's a little cyan right now, and he looks tired.

"Abei, how are you?" Ilan asked with concern.

When Huo Sibei heard this, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he said softly: "I'm fine." ”

His faint smile made Ilan's heart that had been twitching a little easier, and his mood was lighter. She didn't have a chance to ask about the situation in Huo Sibei last time, so she asked in a hurry:

"Ah Bei, are you in the research institute? Are there many courses? Are you usually tired? You don't seem to have a good rest. ”

"I am all smooth, you don't have to worry about me." Huo Sibei's smile deepened, and his tone became softer, "The project has been in a hurry recently, and there is nothing else." ”

Yilan nodded reassuringly, she didn't have much time, and there were some situations that she had to report to Sù Hosbei.

"Bei, I only have one chance a month to video with you, on the first Saturday."

"Fixed this time slot?" Seeing Ilan nodding, he said softly, "I see." ”

"Abei, I have a weekend off, but I'm afraid ...... Can't catch up to see you. Elan's eyes were filled with apologies.

Huo Sibei was calm and nodded silently.

"Abei, I'm sorry." Ilan whispered, looking self-reproachful.

Hosbei shook his head slightly.

He had expected this situation since he received Elan's email, and only she had the naïve illusion that she could be assigned a base close to him. Even if she stayed in Adukweier this time, her freedom and discipline were limited after joining the army, and she was not free to go out to visit relatives and friends every weekend, as she thought.

He really wanted to ask her if she was really ignorant of these common senses at the moment when she decided to sign the contract, or if she knew it, but deliberately didn't think about it, but deceived herself and insisted on going her own way, but looking at her obviously emaciated face and that smile like asking for forgiveness, he found that he couldn't say anything.

“…… Hello is good. He whispered.

Ilan waited anxiously for a while, and Hoss looked at her with a soothing look, smiled quietly at her, and said nothing more.

"Ah Bei......" Ilan was about to speak, but was interrupted by a voice from Hosbei's side.

"Hosbei, what are you doing? Hurry up. ”

"Abei, it's just your part."

"Sibei, hurry up."

There were a lot of voices shouting, Ilan was stunned, mixed with a girl's voice, very good, crisp and delicate, I couldn't tell if she was calling "Sibei" or "Hosibei".

Seeing the projection screen, Huo Sibei turned around and said, "I have something, wait." His voice was a little high, especially at the end, when the word "wait" was mixed with a hint of imperceptible irritation.

After finishing speaking, Huo Sibei paused slightly, then turned to face Yilan, exhaled slightly, and lowered his voice to explain: "My classmate, there is just a cooperation project to wrap up. ”

Yilan smiled and said with some embarrassment: "Abei, you are busy, I will ......" She could hear that there was a hurry.

"It's okay, you say." Hoss North slowed his voice as low as he could.

Ilan looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I...... It may be at the end of October or the beginning of November, a total of fifteen days, and will return to Moss. But now that I have just entered the base, I happen to have a cooking training, so I am not sure yet. If I can take a vacation, I can stop by you. Even though Ilan's words were all thought out in advance, she was still weak and short of breath when she said it.

Huo Sibei asked her to follow Edu, but she could only turn to him when she returned to Moss Star Farm to take a look, even if the vacation was really done, she and Huo Sibei were only a few hours to meet, and they couldn't even wait for a day, her time was too tight, and she couldn't delay more on the way, not to mention that she didn't know if it could be as she wanted, and at that time Shun Lì took a vacation, which depends on her physical upgrade.

"The end of October and the beginning of November?" Huo Sibei bloomed with a sincere smile, and his eyes were bright, "Fifteen days? I know. ”

"I can only find time to go to Guardian while Idu is in transit on the main planet." Ilan muttered.

"It's okay, I'll wait for you." Hosbei said with a smile.

Yilan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Huo Sibei was really happy, and deliberately showed a big smile and said: "Abei, when the time comes, I can go to the main star of Aidu and see your place, last time you said that it was rearranged, I am curious about your aesthetic taste." ”

Last time? Hosbei was a little dazed, it had been almost a year.

"What's it like inside?" Ilan asked, tilting her head and smiling.

Huo Sibei retracted his thoughts and chuckled: "I won't say it, you can go and see it yourself." ”

"Okay, I'll see for myself." Elan browled her eyebrows and nodded heavily.

Those words that were about to be confessed to Huo Sibei had finally been said, and Yilan looked at Huo Sibei with a smile, how long had she not seen him, and she was reluctant to look away for a moment.

Huo Sibei opened her mouth to ask her how she was doing, but when the words came to her mouth, she found that she had already asked, she said that she was practicing cooking, she was full every day, and she was doing well.

He stared at her silently, they hadn't seen each other for nearly a year. She has changed a little, the long hair he used to love to rub and rub is gone, much thinner, not as gentle and peaceful as before, and a little cunning in private, now she has cut her hair short, and her complexion reveals a sense of weakness, but the firmness in her eyes is even more than before.

Hoss was smiling, looking at her deliberate smile, silent for a moment.

"Hosbei, what are you rubbing? Hurry up. ”

"Hosbei, don't hurry up, it's too late."

Male and female voices rise and fall, full of anxiety.

This time, Ilan heard clearly, the female classmate's name was "Huo Sibei", and she shouted by name and surname.

She took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Ah Bei, you go to get busy, it just so happens that my time is about to come." I'll get back to you next month, goodbye. ”

She was afraid that Huo Sibei would be reluctant to go offline and delay his business, so she took the lead in cutting off the video.

Huo Sibei was about to frown and call Yilan, but found that the projection screen faded, and Yilan's image disappeared without a trace in an instant.

He looked fixedly at the location of the projection screen just now, and slowly a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, she will always be smarter than him, so she has always been the one who makes decisions.

The shouts of the classmates over there started again, one more urgent than the other, Huo Sibei rubbed his face heavily, and replied in a loud voice: "It's here." His voice regained its usual coldness and indifference, without bringing out a trace of the fluctuation of the feelings just now.

He glanced down at Elan's contact number, and the signal was still normal. He stood still, hesitated for a moment, and walked briskly inside.

Yilan looked at the time and felt a pity in her heart, she was thinking about the video time she was looking forward to, and she wanted to say a few more words to Huo Sibei, even if she didn't speak, just watch. Since graduating from college, she saw him off at Tuduoweiyi's airport, and they have only had two or three video calls a year. It's so unfortunate today, it just so happens that there is an urgent matter in the north of Hoth.

She closed her eyes, silently remembered Huo Sibei's appearance, pursed her lips and smiled. She had been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally had a video conference with him, so that there would be no such long interval in the future, and she would be able to see him again in the video conference next month.

Ilan sighed softly, she explained her new place to him, and although she didn't see much disappointment or anger on his face, Ilan still blamed herself.

It will gradually get better, and next year her vacation will be a few more days, and she can go to the research institute to accompany him, she comforted herself. (To be continued.) )
