Lin Youde always felt that if he went to the test result release site to see the results, the news he got would be different from what he saw on the Internet at home - maybe his sincerity in riding to the scene for a few hours under the scorching sun at the end of June would move him to rewrite the results of the college entrance examination.

But it turned out to be useless.

Lin Youde, eighteen years old, is suffering the biggest setback of his life so far.

"No matter how you look at it, this score is a bit too low......" Lin Youde muttered in a low voice, as a student, he is certainly not a top student, but after working hard for a year, he is also a little confident, it stands to reason that the score should not be so ugly.

I want to think about it, but the dazzling score in front of me is so real, no matter how many times Lin Youde rubs his eyes, it will not change.

He sighed heavily and looked back at the release venue.

Like him, there are still a lot of people who feel that they can change something by running to the release site, so the huge venue is crowded with young boys and girls who are about the same age as Lin Youde, most of them have sad faces, and a few of them are very conspicuous with their eyebrows and smiles.

Lin Youde looked at those elated guys, and his heart felt like he had knocked over a five-flavor bottle, and the only feeling he could say for sure was "sad".

Lin Youde was sad.

It felt as if the whole thing about the past twelve years of my life had been denied.

At this time, his bracelet was vibrating, and he knew that it must be the classmates who had found out the results who were having a virtual party, Lin Youde touched the bracelet and converted the bracelet to airplane mode.

So everything fell silent.

Lin Youde didn't want to attend a classmate's reunion at such a time.

But at this time, the bracelet vibrated again, and only when Lin Youde specially designated someone sent a contact, his bracelet would vibrate in airplane mode.

Lin Youde started the communication in a complicated mood, so a familiar voice sounded in his head.

"Will you come to the virtual reunion of the classmates?" The girl's voice was as nice as ever.

"I ...... Now outside. Lin Youde hesitated for a moment, and finally sent this answer - maybe he sorted out his mood on the way home, and then he could go online to join the party.

There are still people in that class who can't give up.

The girl said in a brisk voice, "You're outside, that's just right, I want to go out and change my mood." ”

"You also failed the test?" Lin Youde swelled up with hope for a moment, but then he was ashamed of his instantaneous thoughts, how could he expect her to suffer the same setbacks as himself?

"How is that possible," the girl's voice remained cheerful, "I'm accommodating you, accommodating you." Speaking of which, we're all eighteen years old, the legal age to drink, so let's go clubbing tonight? ”

"Uh, that's not good......"

"Are you in the Exam Information Center? Wait for me, I'll be there soon! With that, the girl cut off the communication.

Lin Youde took a deep breath, and at this time he suddenly felt that the scorching sun in June was not so unbearable - so the boy is really a simple and straightforward creature, and he will be said to think with his lower body, and he is helpless.

With this feeling, Lin Youde found a shady place, originally he wanted to log in to WeChat, but it would definitely be discovered by his classmates who were having a virtual party, so he just opened the browser and began to browse the information on the Internet in the most primitive way.

Suddenly, he saw a message on the local portal: the orbital monitoring station had detected a level 12 psionic reaction this morning.

Lin Youde couldn't help frowning, level 6 psionic energy can serve as a navigator and an analyst of the Ministry of Intelligence in the United Nations Aerospace Force, level 8 psionic energy can become a ghost agent, and level 12 psionic energy This is already an extremely dangerous existence, and it can fight an entire hell paratrooper company alone.

Lin Youde hurriedly opened the news link, but regrettably found that this news was the so-called "headline party", which was actually just a false alarm caused by a mechanical failure, and there was no level 12 psionic reaction at all.

Lin Youde, who breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly remembered his psionic ability test - test score: Level 1 psionic ability, which happened to be the level of ordinary people. He raised his hand and looked at the slightly bare veins at his wrists.

In the initial stage of the space age, in order to allow human beings to adapt to space, the human body has been modified, and the current human beings are very different from the human beings of the earth age before the space age, and 20% of the components in the modern human body are nanomachines, even if the fetus in the mother's womb will inherit the nanomachinery from the mother.

In the past, earthlings had a so-called carbon-based civilization, while the current humans are a complete carbon-silicon hybrid civilization. It took humans two hundred years to complete this evolution, and in the process, humanity's ranking in the Galactic Council soared from two hundred and twenty-seven to ninety-nine.

Therefore, human beings are also feared by many galactic civilizations. However, psionic energy is still a shortcoming of human beings, ordinary humans only have first-level psionic energy according to the pangalactic psionic standard, and the most powerful human beings are now only ninth-level psionic energy.

Twelfth-level psionic energy or something, if there is really a guy with such powerful psionic energy appearing in a human colony like Xinzhengzhou, it only means one thing: that is, the invasion has begun.

The Galactic Council does not encourage interstellar warfare, there should not be any race that would go to war so blatantly-Lin Youde thought so, dispelling his doubts, and at this moment his bracelet vibrated again.

**

A speeding car fell from the sky, and as soon as it landed on the ground and came to a stop, the girl in the back seat jumped out of the car with a whoosh.

Lin Youde's jaw almost dislocated because his mouth was too wide.

"Do you need to be so surprised to see your childhood sweetheart?" Xia Yongzhi said and came up and pushed Lin Youde's shoulder.

"No, you don't need to be so surprised to see your childhood sweetheart, but it's surprising to see your childhood sweetheart, who has never worn a skirt except for a school uniform, suddenly come to a pure white dress."

After Lin Youde finished speaking, Xia Yongzhi giggled, she took out a folded straw hat from her backpack, and as soon as she touched the sensor button on the straw hat, the hat was completely opened, turning into the most popular lady's sunshade straw hat.

She put her straw hat on her head and stroked her long dark hair.

"How is it, the style of a pure girl?"

Lin Youde was a little overwhelmed, he looked Xia Yongzhi up and down again, his gaze slid over the girl's handsome face, slender and fair neck, bare collarbones and shoulders - lingered for a moment as he passed by his chest, so Xia Yongzhi kicked his calf bone accurately.

"It hurts."

"Who wants you to be dishonest." Xia Yongzhi pursed her lips, at this time the flying car behind her made a light beep, she remembered that the flying car had not left, so she turned around and waved her hand, so the computer of the flying car automatically determined that the rental business had ended, and controlled the flying car to take off.

The airflow set off by the flying car made the hem of Xia Yongzhi's long skirt flutter slightly, revealing her slender jade feet and small high-heeled sandals.

"You're wearing high heels?" Lin Youde was shocked, "Don't you usually don't even wear flatform shoes?" ”

"This dress is to be matched with high heels, because it is not that refreshing style, that style has to wear flat sandals, and I am the so-called 'princess dress', which should be matched with high heels."

"Okay, okay, I know, but now there's a burning question: where do we go next?"

As soon as Lin Youde finished speaking, Xia Yongzhi hugged his arm: "I checked, there is a bar with a good evaluation, and the culture in it is very strong." Let's go here......"

Xia Yongzhi used the bodies that touched each other as a medium, and sent the address to Lin Youde's mind - because 20% of the mass in the body is nanomachinery, so humans can easily do things like this.

Lin Youde frowned as soon as he saw the location of the bar: "It's a little far, I'm fine, what should you do?" Walking that far in high heels will be wasted, right? ”

As soon as Lin Youde finished speaking, Xia Yongzhi jumped on the back seat of his bicycle.

Lin Youde glanced at the girl, sighed lightly, and then stepped on the bicycle. As soon as he let the car accelerate, the girl hugged his waist, and two soft, youthful things tightly clung to Lin Youde's back.

Lin Youde felt his heartbeat suddenly quicken.

"Mr. Lin Youde, my nanomachinery tells me that your heart rate has increased significantly."

Now that the two of them are so close, Xia Yongzhi can of course grasp Lin Youde's physical condition for the first time through the interaction of nanomachines.

Lin Youde was a little embarrassed, but in the next moment, something even more embarrassing happened-he found that Xia Yongzhi's heart rate had also increased significantly.

Lin Youde was speechless for a moment by this discovery, and the girl didn't seem to have any intention of forcing him to answer, so the two of them walked slowly on the road where there were almost no vehicles except for them and a few cycling enthusiasts.

The wind swept the girl's long hair and skirt, and the summer sun fell gently on the two of them.

At this moment, the boy sounded the lyrics of an old song from two hundred years ago: When I caught a cicada at the age of seven, I thought I had caught summer, and when I kissed her on the face at the age of seventeen, I thought I could ...... forever

Suddenly, he heard the girl humming softly to the melody of the same old song.

"Did you know that the two of them weren't together at the end of this song?" Lin Youde couldn't help but say.

"Why do you like to spoil the atmosphere so much?" Xia Yongzhi pinched his waist hard, and then giggled, "Don't worry, haven't you kissed my face yet, well, we haven't transplanted cicadas as a pest in New Zhengzhou." ”

Lin Youde also smiled.

Suddenly, the girl asked softly, "My face, do you want to kiss?" ”

Lin Youde swallowed hard.

"Dead." Xia Yongzhi slapped his back hard, "Ah, by the way, it's the front, turn left and turn left!" ”

The bar has arrived, which makes Lin Youde a little regretful, he really hopes that this bar is a little farther away, so that he can ride the girl for a while.

Xia Yongzhi seemed to see through Lin Youde's thoughts, she jumped out of the car, patted Lin Youde on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I have to ask you to take me when I go back." Let's go, let's go, let's drink! ”

It seems that she is really looking forward to the feeling of tasting an alcoholic beverage for the first time in her life.

**

In the blink of an eye, it's evening.

Lin Youde rode a bicycle with Xia Yongzhi in the back seat.

Nanomachinery has already reduced the alcohol concentration in Lin Youde's veins to the point that it does not affect the safety of riding, but Xia Yongzhi in the back seat seems to want to experience this dizziness more

feel, so there is no letting the nanomachines get their hands dirty.

"Hahahaha, it's so funny, all the stars are ghosted, hahaha...... Goo-goo......"

"Aren't you tired of dubbing yourself while drinking?"

"It's not dubbing, I'm really gulping down." Before the words fell, the two Mulan missiles (don't ask what this is, make good use of Baidu) crashed into Lin Youde's back, "Actually, you are secretly refreshed in your heart, right?" After all, Miss Ben has provided you with so many benefits! Like this, this, and this! ”

Saying that, Xia Yongzhi rubbed it on Lin Youde's back - with his chest.

Lin Youde didn't know what to do anymore, his whole face was hot, and his ears were hot.

"Oh oh, ears are red, ears are red, hehehe." Xia Yongzhi made a lot of fun.

"Don't move, be careful of falling." Lin Youde couldn't help but remind Xia Yongzhi, but the girl didn't care.

"I'm a fifth-level psionic energy holder, so it's okay to fall a little."

Lin Youde wanted to refute, but the sudden inferiority complex sealed his mouth - that's right, unlike himself who only had an ordinary level of spiritual energy, Xia Yongzhi is a holder of fifth-level spiritual energy, even if he is not supported by the college entrance examination results, he has a bright future in the future.

"Let me ask you, how did you do in the college entrance examination?" Lin Youde pondered for a while, and still asked this sentence.

Then Xia Yongzhi was silent instantly.

Because he was silent for too long, Lin Youde couldn't help but look back at the girl in the back seat.

Then he saw the girl's calm face, the flush of alcohol on her face was so moving, and the moonlight fell on the girl's long eyelashes.

"Me," Xia Yongzhi suddenly raised her eyes looking at the ground, and turned her head to meet Lin Youde's gaze, "I'm going to join the United Nations Space Force." ”

Lin Youde chuckled inwardly, he subconsciously pinched the brakes, and almost fell.

But he still stabilized the bicycle, and the moment he stopped, Xia Yongzhi jumped from the back seat and landed on the cement pavement lightly.

The girl took two steps to the middle of the road, turned to face Lin Youde, and put her hands behind her back.

The night breeze blew through the surrounding fields, and the large crops swayed, making a salsa sound, and the girl's long hair and skirt swayed gently with the rhythm of the sound, and the light of the two moons in New Zhengzhou fell on her, gilding her with a layer of dreamlike light and shadow.

"You, join the United Nations Space Force?"

The girl nodded slightly.

"I'm a fifth-level psionic energy holder." The United Nations Space Force needs you! The girl imitated the tone and movements of the uncle in the recruitment advertisement, and then she laughed like a silver bell.

But Lin Youde couldn't laugh.

"The Space Army's Non-Commissioned Officer School, in ......"

"In Arcturus," the girl picked up and pointed to the sky, "946.70 light-years away from New Zhengzhou." ”

"Why do you deliberately add an extra zero?" Maybe it was because he was too shocked, Lin Youde couldn't help but complain about a point that was not important at all.

Xia Yongzhi explained in a serious tone: "Because, the homonym of this set of numbers happens to be 'old things are left behind'." ”

The girl said, with a sentimental expression.

Lin Youde understood what Xia Yongzhi meant in an instant—no, in fact, he realized it when he heard the news.

946.7 light years, at the speed of an ordinary cargo ship, it takes two months to sail - of course, for Xia Yongzhi on the ship, it is only a matter of a few minutes to sail at warp speed, but for the world outside the cargo ship, these two months have really passed. This means that even during the winter and summer vacations, Xia Yongzhi will not be able to come home from Arcturus, and it will take four months to go back and forth, how can a mere two-month summer vacation be used.

In other words, when Xia Yongzhi boarded the cargo ship to Arcturus, Lin Youde and her would not be able to see each other again for the next few years.

Lin Youde's heart ached for a while.

"We, and the ...... the Internet"

The pan-galactic network uses Ansebo as the medium of communication, which can realize real-time communication in the whole universe (Ansebo is an overhead band in this book, which does not exist in reality).

However, there are only four Ansebo communication instruments in the entire new Zhengzhou.

Lin Youde bit his lip hard, silently enduring a sadness that was far more intense than this morning.

"You didn't persuade me to stay."

"Because you said a long time ago that you wanted to join the Space Force, right?" Lin Youde squeezed out a smile at Xia Yongzhi, "How can I persuade you to give up your dream?" ”

Xia Yongzhi sighed softly: "Yes, dreams." ”

Then she and Lin Youde didn't speak again, and after the two looked at each other for a long time, Xia Yongzhi stepped forward and kissed Lin Youde lightly on the cheek.

- When I was seventeen years old, I kissed her on the face, and I thought I could ...... with her forever

Lin Youde resisted the urge to cry, but found that the cheeks of the girl in front of him were already soaked with tears.

"Next year, take the exam again, maybe you can also enter the non-commissioned officer school......"

"It's useless," Lin Youde shook his head slightly, "My uncle and aunt won't let me take the exam a second time, according to my parents' will, they raised me until I graduated from high school at the age of eighteen, and I could get my half of the inheritance, and they have - they won't be good to me anymore - well, in fact, they don't treat me well now, you know." ”

As soon as Lin Youde finished speaking, Xia Yongzhi hugged him again, and the girl used all her strength to hug Lin Youde's shoulders tightly.

"I ...... I ......"

"It's okay, I'll try to make money and go on vacation to Arcturus." Lin Youde forced himself to smile at the girl.

Xia Yongzhi let go of her hand, took a step back, and wiped her snot and tears with her wrist.

"When are you leaving?" Lin Youde asked.

"Tomorrow, the boat will run every two weeks, and it will take two months to fly over, and if you don't leave tomorrow, you won't be able to catch up with the entrance ceremony."

"Then I'll send you tomorrow."

Xia Yongzhi nodded slightly.

Lin Youde took a deep breath, patted the back seat of the bicycle, and just wanted to say, "I'll send you home first", but the light of the speeding car fell from the sky.

"Yongzhi!" Xia Yongzhi's father's voice came from the loudspeaker of the flying car, "Why don't you come back for dinner?" The family has a lot of preparations to celebrate you - isn't this Kobayashi? How did you do in the exam, my family Yongzhi is going to the Space Army! ”

Lin Youde opened his mouth, but he didn't speak.

"That's it......" A sigh came from the loudspeaker, probably with Uncle Xia's experience, he had realized what was happening, "It's also good, New Zhengzhou is a very promising colony, and it's good to stay here and develop." ”

Lin Youde could only nod slightly.

**

An hour later, Lin Youde returned to his small house in his uncle's estate.

In a vast and sparsely populated colony like New Zhengzhou, every family has a large area of farmland, so his uncle Lin Zhengdao enclosed a piece of land next to his farm machinery warehouse and built a cottage for Lin Youde - Originally, Lin Youde and Lin Zhengdao's family lived in that modern house, but now Lin Zhengdao's son didn't know how to look at Lin Youde unpleasantly, and then even let his aunt also look at Lin Youde unpleasantly, so Lin Youde had to move out.

As soon as Lin Youde turned on the light in the hut, he saw a note with a thumbtack inserted in front of the door, which said that Lin Youde would do farm work tomorrow.

"I'm going to send Xia Yongzhi tomorrow......" Lin Youde scratched his head, "It seems that I can only get up at four o'clock in the morning to work......"

Xia Yongzhi will probably take the orbital elevator to the space station at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and after getting up at four o'clock to do some of the work, she should have time to go.

While calculating the time, Lin Youde opened the door of his bedroom and stepped in with one foot.

Then he immediately pulled his foot back and closed the door as it was.

He took a deep breath and opened the door again.

The scenery inside the room has not changed, and on his bed sits a small Lori, who is holding a half-gnawed computer hard drive, and her mouth is still squirming.

Lin Youde has always thought that no matter how horrific the scene is, human beings will not punch themselves, and he thinks that it is just an exaggeration that only appears in comedy film and television works. But now he rounded his fist and punched himself in the cheek.

It hurts to death.

And the little guy who gnawed on the hard drive on the bed was stunned, she glared at Lin Youde, and the hard drive in her hand fell to the ground with a click.

"Why are you shocked?" Lin Youde couldn't help but point at the little guy and shout.
