Ten minutes later, Zhang Zizhong and Liu Fei sat together, while Xu Yue and Huo Chenggong were opposite them, the two pairs sat across a long alloy table, the restaurant was very busy during dinner time, but no one came to disturb them.

No one is exempt from vulgarity, even Huo Chenggong is happy with the preferential treatment he has received now, and because this preferential treatment comes from the spontaneous behavior of the rest of the students, rather than the forcible orders of his superiors, so this kind of respect brings him some indescribable emotions in addition to joy and mediocre memories, which can be described as having all kinds of flavors.

Compared with him, Zhang Zizhong's performance is not inferior, for such a man who is very good now and in the future, he thinks that these are what he deserves, he is born different, even looking for a girlfriend.

Because after this guy made a promise and Liu Fei expressed his reluctance, he said: "Sister, I'm going to leave too, will you miss me." ”

At this time, Huo Chenggong and Xu Yue knew that Liu Fei was actually three days older than Zhang Zizhong, but she was a girl, and it was only three days, how could you call your girlfriend your sister? Xu Yue looked at him with a smile, Liu Fei was very annoyed, and asked him if he was looking for himself because he had a mother-love complex, but this guy actually hesitated before shaking his head.

Huo Chenggong almost laughed, Liu Fei, who was already deeply trapped, was ashamed and indignant in the face of such a bad man, and in the end, he could only forget it, but he was only sorry for the promise to get along alone and say something, he was embarrassed to speak, so he could only sit there and watch them fight, and the girl with sorrow looked at their sweetness, and some melancholy gradually appeared on her beautiful face.

Her absent-mindedness was known to Huo Chenggong, Huo Chenggong quieted down, looked at her quietly, and then took her hand: "Let's go, I have something to say to you." ”

"Hey!" Zhang Zizhong then whispered in pain and shut up.

Xu Yue lowered his head to avoid this guy's ridiculous gaze, and meekly followed Huo Chenggong outside, Huo Chenggong took her hand and didn't let go, and walked out with the surprised and then smiling and blessed eyes of the students who came in and out.

There are even some familiar guys who will give Huo Chenggong a thumbs up, and some who are a little more out of line whistle, and some bastards can't help but complain: "It's unreasonable." ”

Then he banged on the lunch box to try to simulate the sound of heartbreak, provoking laughter.

But no matter what, there is not the slightest malice in their words and deeds, on the contrary, they have formed a psychology of looking up to Huo Chenggong, a double-crowned freshman with a deep background, and a beautiful Jiangmen daughter, this is made in heaven, who is qualified to be jealous?

Xu Yue's palms were already sweating slightly, so she followed Huo Chenggong until she walked to the path under the shade of the trees, and then sat on a bench facing the winding artificial river, Huo Chenggong thoughtfully draped her coat over her shoulders.

The weather in March was still a little cool, Xu Yue enjoyed his meticulousness and thoughtfulness, this time Xu Yue held his hand, Huo Chenggong smiled slightly: "You want to go to the capital star?" I've been wanting to ask you today, I see that the general and you have some things on your mind, can you talk to me, if it's convenient. ”

"Do you know where I came from?"

Huo Chenggong shook her head, the girl's eyes showed a beautiful amber color under the setting of the river, but there was still sadness in her eyes when she mentioned her heart, she said in a low voice to the young man who knocked on her heart: "My family is a mecha family of the Federation, and the famous Hellfire Group of the Federation is my family's business, and now, I am the first heir of the group." ”

Then she choked up with the word "because", and she said, "Because my parents disappeared on a trip a few years ago, and the last news was that their boat disappeared in the salt sea area." ”

The Salt Sea, the core of the Milky Way.

It's full of mutations, collapsing stars, chaotic storms, distorted force fields and even black holes devouring each other, and other deadly unknowns. But there is a peculiar beauty in the distance, and a few beautiful nebulae that are gradually approaching it are like a tulle cascading over, and the central area forms a kind of ocean blue, and there are some waves from time to time.

Therefore, it is described by explorers as the sea.

The first to describe it was Magellan, the explorer of New Rome 1,100 years ago, who was the first captain to approach the area and return safely.

When he returned, he said that it was sometimes like an ocean hanging in the universe, it seemed to belong to another world, and what appeared to human eyes was only a reflection of it, but it could belong to our world, and hide the way to another dimension... Our language is so pale in front of it, and it is indescribable to be extravagant, so it is better to give it a simple name, the salt sea.

So it is still used today.

"Salt Sea." Xu Yue said, she said hatefully: "In that place where many predecessors are buried, I heard my uncle say that my parents disappeared after they went to explore a passage. ”

Then her tone was a little mocking, and it was her long-missing parents who were ridiculed, she said: "They came from a wealthy family, and they were nurtured and raised from a young age, so they were carefree and unburdened, so having fun became their only vent, anyway, at that time my family business was booming." ”

Huo Chenggong didn't interject, and Xu Yue continued; "They aspire to surpass their predecessors, they don't care about any risks, they need universal recognition and followers, and they disdain the shadow of their ancestors, so they made the decision to form a fleet to develop a new territory of human civilization, they firmly believe that there is a passage to another world, and the predecessors did not succeed because the glory is destined to belong to them."

"Who told you?"

"I'm looking at the records they left behind." Promised.

Huo Chenggong sighed, the behavior of the promised parents is not so much their disgust and avoidance of the environment since childhood, but it is precisely because of their recklessness and lack of a real sense of crisis for the future that they have no arrangements left.

Therefore, now that the hellfire is plummeting and precarious, the second son who must have worked hard to support the family, General Xu Chongzhi, the real leader of the Xu clan, must also hate his brother.

Otherwise, how could he have shown this to the promise?

As he thought, Xu Yue expressed this meaning, and then she mentioned that now, she leaned on Huo Chenggong weakly, and said in a low voice: "The last time Hellfire was purchased by the Federation was ten years ago, and my parents left and took some elites from the company with them, because when they went on an expedition, they called it a reward for the meritorious travel. ”

She said: "You can understand what this means, and when they disappeared, a lot of people in the family began to stir up, and they all wanted to be my guardians." ”

"It's like getting you, what it means, I think you must have a lot of suitors." Huo Chenggong actually made a joke, the meaning of which Xu Yue naturally understood, the girl blushed and said, "Yes, it's disgusting to have people with such thoughts." ”

Of course, the pure girl's feelings can't tolerate the slightest blasphemy, Huo Chenggong, who understands her mood, patted her on the shoulder to make her more comfortable, but Xu Yue asked him at this time: "Will you be the same as those people?" ”

"Maybe." Huo Chenggong looked at her helplessly, thought about it and said: "A helpless girl in the storm, there are countless hungry wolves hidden in the darkness around me, am I ignorant or fearless, just jump into the troubled water and dream of winning the first place, maybe in the future, I can rely on women to eat and wait for death, and be carefree for the rest of my life." ”

This guy was clearly saying that he was in big trouble, and Xu Yue was very angry, so he simply asked, "Then will you back down?" ”

"If you'll allow it."

"Stop dreaming." Xu Yue felt that this might be the boldest sentence he had ever said.

At this time, she found that she had curled up in his arms, she immediately blushed, turned around, and tried to sit down, but Huo Chenggong hugged her tightly, who looked a little thin, and whispered in her ear: "It turns out that you are worried about the competition for military purchases, presumably this is a big threshold for your family, but don't worry, even if you lose, you still have me." ”

Hearing this, the girl's body tensed instantly, and then she completely relaxed, she didn't say anything, just gently leaned into Huo Chenggong's arms, and that's it.

I don't know how long it took, but the two moons had already risen, and the movement of a returning bird falling woke them up, and Xu Yue whispered, "I'm going back." ”

In fact, she didn't want to leave at all, but Huo Chenggong didn't stay, he looked at the time and said, "Hmm." ”

"You!"

Huo Chenggong suddenly realized this, and hurriedly defended: "I mean, I'm worried that the general will blame you." ”

"Hmph."

Huo Chenggong could only change the topic, and he asked: "Promise, how sure are you in this arms purchase competition?" ”

In fact, Huo Chenggong already knew the result, and the world knew it after the Hellfire bid failed, and as if it was a farce, the new fighting armor they developed went wrong on the spot during the exercise.

Everyone is surprised, how can there be such a mistake, many people think that there is an internal cause, but this result is already like this, and the excellence of the opponent's product is undoubted, then failure is inevitable.

"I don't know." Xu Yue was at a loss, she was only sixteen years old, these are the things that General Xu Chongzhi cares about, she is under the protection of her uncle, and her life is very simple, and now she thinks she can go on like this.

But Huo Chenggong understands very well that if he doesn't do something, everything will be over, vaguely, after combining some of the news he said from Xu Yue and some of his own knowledge, Huo Chenggong feels that he has caught something, and at present, the success or failure of the Hellfire Arms Purchase bid does play a great role.

Win or lose, everything in the future is a chain reaction, making the already bad situation worse.

According to Huo Chenggong's thinking, he felt that he should really use violent means to erase all the discordant factors within the Xu clan to be relieved, but he couldn't do it now, so he could only ask tentatively: "So now the head of the development department of your Hellfire Company is dedicated?" ”

Xu Yue said: "He should be very dedicated, he is a good friend of his uncle." ”

Huo Chenggong, who knew the future, couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he looked at the girl's ignorant appearance, he frowned and had a little blame, he said, "You don't know anything about how I can help you." ”

At this time, he seemed to forget that he might not be able to do anything, and there was an indescribable confidence in his tone, as if he could decide success or failure as long as he understood the inside story, Xu Yue looked at him in surprise, and pouted a little aggrievedly: "Uncle usually doesn't let me ask this, but of course I know the company's personnel." ”

The decline of such a large enterprise, there are external and internal factors, and now I am afraid that the internal causes are more serious, and betrayal is the eternal theme of the world of interests, so Huo Chenggong, who tried to recall Xu Chu's complaints, said: "Then you tell me." ”

Xu Yue didn't think much about it, and began to tell according to his request.

Silently recording the names mentioned in the promise, Huo Chenggong, who confirmed his memory, said in a low voice after she finished speaking: "How long is there until the next military purchase, the specific time." ”

"You seem?"

The sensitive Xu Yue felt that something was wrong with Huo Chenggong, she was very strange, and Huo Chenggong was simply driven crazy by this stupid girl who always paid attention to her emotions, and he said angrily: "You speak." ”

"Two months away, what's wrong with you, do you know these people? Do they have a problem? Xu Yue smiled after asking, really, how could Huo Chenggong know, what and what, looking at Huo Chenggong's eyes, there was no smile, very serious and serious, the young man's old age and frowning brows made Xu Yue a little worried.

Huo Chenggong at this moment was all in her eyes, so she also became serious, and she asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

What can two big children do, Huo Chenggong looked at Xu Yue, who was just pretending to be serious, and suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged her, kissed her on the lips, Xu Yue froze, her beautiful eyes were wide open, frightened, scared, and then shy, her expression changed and finally she began to struggle.

Her heart was beating wildly, her breathing began to be rapid, and then she bit Huo Chenggong hard, but Huo Chenggong didn't avoid looking at her like this, until she gave up anything, and leaned weakly on her arms again, Huo Chenggong removed the lips that had been contacted, reached out and wiped it gently, and a faint blood stain appeared on the back of his hand, Xu Yue closed his eyes and didn't look at him, his chest was rising and falling, as if he was very angry.

"Arrange for me to go to your side next month, as if we didn't know each other, and I'll find out something."

Xu Yue opened his eyes and looked at him, Huo Chenggong was very serious: "Regarding how to get in, I can deliver a design idea for a mecha..."

"You, you know mecha design?"

Xu Yue asked in surprise, and looking at the tooth marks on his lips, Xu Yue was shy and a little distressed, but felt that he really deserved to be a hooligan.

"I taught myself, but I believe I'm good." Huo Chenggong said confidently, and then he licked his lips involuntarily in pain, and complained: "Where is there a girlfriend like this." ”

Xu Yue immediately closed his eyes and turned his head.

But Huo Chenggong didn't care about her, hugged her unreasonably, and kissed her again when she said no, the girl trembled slightly, and was reluctant to bite this bastard, so he could only let him gradually and recklessly take away his real first kiss like this.

Feeling her nervousness, and at a loss, she was so passive with the surname Ge supple and incomprehensible, but it made Huo Chenggong, who was tasting the sweet taste of the girl, feel more pity, he hugged her tightly, Xu Yue felt that she was about to be suffocated by him, but she felt Huo Chenggong's heart for herself.

Huo Chenggong silently hugged her again, Xu Yue smiled shyly, her face was flushed, she hesitated, but finally insisted on asking: "Have you ever been like this with other girls before." ”

"What do you think?" Huo Chenggong looked at her with a clear conscience, at this moment, his previous life was a floating cloud.

Therefore, she was relieved, and she said, "You are not allowed to do this to anyone else in the future." ”

"If you don't bite me again." "Anyway, you are not allowed to do this to anyone anyway."

"What if it were a man."

"Ah, you're disgusting!"

Huo Chenggong laughed, and then solemnly told Xu Yue: "I'm not kidding, I will pass on a mecha design to you at this moment tomorrow, so that General Xu Chongzhi will also understand, he will understand that sometimes there are really geniuses in the world, and it is better to take some precautions in front of interests than not to do it." ”

"Hmm."

Now he will listen to him for everything.

Then Huo Chenggong said, let's go, she is no longer dissatisfied, she is now anxious to see what kind of design level Huo Chenggong can show, she is more looking forward to the fact that her uncle can have a better recognition of Huo Chenggong, if she can get her wish, it will be happy for her, so she clenched her fists and betrayed General Xu Chongzhi, she encouraged Huo Chenggong and said: "You must surprise him." ”

"That way our future will be better."

Xu Yue said, "Yes." ”

Then she was in a hurry, and she hit Huo Cheng successfully: "What." ”

There was a smile on his face that couldn't be hidden, it was so moving, Huo Chenggong walked beside her like this, and sent her to the hub elevator, after the door cut off the sight of both sides, Huo Chenggong saw his eyes from the smooth alloy door, under the soft light, there was a determined light.

You can't let that happen, never.

With such a thought, Huo Chenggong turned around and walked in the direction of his residence, and half an hour later, General Xu Chongzhi, who was sitting in front of the monitor and doing the aftermath work before leaving, accidentally found that one of the twelve cockpits had been cut off from data transmission.

The one that belongs to Huo Chenggong.

There should be only one reason for such an anomaly, Xu Chongzhi couldn't help but look at Xu Yue suspiciously, but Xu Yue was now busy sorting out the information and had no distractions.
