Chapter 32: It's worth it
"Just because you are a victim, you should be stronger." Huo Yanting's eyes were retracted, and he replied coldly.
Su Mu's pupils fluttered, and her heart was beating like a war drum - this sentence was her original intention of coming to the camp alone, and it was also the purpose of her coming to the camp!
And in the same way, Huo Yanting, who said this, clenched his fists.
Hanchen, their home home, has become farther and farther away from the central galaxy.
The stars still seem to be living and working in peace, but the internal and external troubles have never stopped.
Internal moths, declining physical fitness, backward weapons, and lagging technology...... All of this will be the presence of other planets.
Either you are strong, or you are swallowed up by its planet.
But being strong is not just shouting slogans, nor can it be achieved in a day.
For this reason, countless space marines like him are struggling day and night in different positions and fields!
………
After the 10-kilometer weight-bearing run, because it was Su Mu's turn to stand guard tonight, she flashed into the space again to repair her body while everyone didn't know it......
The moonlight is cloudy, the cool breeze is bleak, and the usually enthusiastic camp is silent and peaceful at the moment.
The sound of dull footsteps sounded in his ears, getting closer and closer, and Su Mu's already keen sense of hearing was infinitely amplified at this moment.
Huo Yanting, who was wearing a combat uniform, walked from outside the camp, his straight figure looked like a walking green pine in the cold fog of the backlight, calm, cold, and full of majestic and proud momentum.
Su Mu saluted, and Huo Yanting passed by her after returning the salute.
One step, two steps, three steps, he stopped, then returned to Su Mu again, and asked, "Why did you come back with Emperor Wuye that night?" ”
Su Mu was slightly stunned: "He is my comrade-in-arms, I can't leave him alone." ”
"There's another reason, I asked you at the time." Huo Yanting continued to ask.
Su Mu pursed his lower lip: "Because, I don't want to cause trouble to others." ”
Huo Yanting's handsome eyebrows furrowed deeply, and his cold eyes revealed a trace of doubt and expectation. "What do you mean by that?"
"Suddenly losing two star soldiers, this is not a trivial matter.
The camp is a team, and Di Wuye and I, as part of this team, should have a sense of teamwork.
Let me ask the captain, if we don't come back, you and the guards, and even the Zuo Shi may have to bear the corresponding responsibility, and the nature of the dispatch personnel to find us back is completely different from our own return to the camp.
Hopefully, it's not too late for us to come back. ”
Su Mu raised his head, his clear and gloomy eyes were like meteors streaking across the night sky, shining brightly.
Huo Yanting stared at Su Mu for a moment, the folds between his eyebrows gradually loosened, and the corners of his lips raised a soft arc, a little less cold and sharp, and a little more praise.
At that moment, he felt that his sweat that night was worth it!
At that time, the two of them returned safely, and Zuoshi naturally no longer pursued it, and he did not plan to report it to his superiors, but Huo Yanting still felt that he was really negligent in letting the two star soldiers run back at that time, and in the end, Zuoshi couldn't resist him, so he let him go to the training ground to run laps, symbolically giving a slight punishment.
As for how many laps to run, Zuoshi did not have a hard and fast rule, and Huo Yanting, who has always been strict with himself, ran a full 50 kilometers after his waist and legs were tied with lead blocks.
"Su Mu, you will become a Space Soldier in the future, but a real Star Soldier has no cowardice and bastards." Talking about this, Huo Yanting felt that he needed to mention this star soldier.
Su Mu sneered in his heart and asked lightly: "May I ask the captain, how to define cowardice, and how to define a bastard?" ”
Huo Yanting just wanted to answer, but Su Mu then continued: "I didn't participate in the Space Marines to be competitive, nor to fight with people. ”
When the words fell, Su Mu stubbornly raised his eyes and met Huo Yanting's cold eyes, without a trace of retreat.
Huo Yanting's mind was full of various words, but he couldn't say a word for a while.
The night became more and more lonely, and Su Mu's yellow wax face seemed to become a little white and transparent under the moonlight.
Huo Yanting's throat was inexplicably hot, and it was fleeting.
"Although I am still weak, it will only make me stronger." After a while, Su Mu said coldly.
The corners of Huo Yanting's eyes slowly turned into a straight line from the end of his eyes to Su Mu, and after a long time, he raised his hand and patted her chest: "Raise your head and chest, be dignified, don't shrink your head and tail." ”
Su Mu didn't have time to take his gaze away from his chest, and Huo Yanting immediately patted again: "Hmm." If you have pectoral muscles, they just aren't hard enough, remember to exercise diligently! ”
After speaking, while looking at the hand that he had just patted Su Mu's chest, he tilted his head slightly and turned away.
Su Mu: "......"
Huo Yanting walked away, and just when he came to a corner, a person came up to him and shouted to him:
"Uncle."
