"Hey, did you do this on purpose?! You didn't answer my call on purpose?!" The irritable words finally reached the ears of the person involved along the trillion network.
"What's the matter?" Stark asked again, his eyelids not even trembling.
The person on the other side quickly made a gesture of surrender: "Okay, I know, why are you such a jerk? You can't even joke about it, I said I'll say it right now!!"
" I heard you are coming back?" Nie Erqi's eyes flashed with a hint of excitement and complexity.
Stark raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it something that has been decided for a long time?"
"That's not what you mean. It depends on what you mean. After all, several years have passed, and I thought you were so addicted to raising children that you had forgotten about it." Nie Erqi said rather provocatively.
"I won't forget it." The young officer lowered his eyes, covering most of his solemn face, and then pulled the acceleration button in front of his partner. He said loudly in the space curve distorted by the space jump: "I will not forget it."
Nie Erqi was stunned for a moment, but he also understood why the other party suddenly became so serious. What he probably meant was that he would never forget what he had to do.
Yes, they are imperial soldiers. Since they stood on the front line of the war, they had no other choice but to shed their lives and blood. It was not that they were unable but that they were unwilling.
If they don’t have the ability, let’s talk about it, but when they have the power to defend their homeland and protect the hope of humankind’s future, they cannot stand idly by.
This is their will and their mission.
Death is indeed a frequent visitor on their journey, taking away batch after batch of their compatriots.
But they are not afraid at all, because they know that death is accompanied by glory and hope.
If one day they really have to throw themselves into the arms of death, they would rather be on this battlefield.
In fact, many people in the legion were surprised when Stark gave up the promising future and invited himself to take up a permanent position in the edge system. In particular, Stark's direct superiors have talked to him many times, hoping that he would not act out of emotion.
But after the other party knew the whole story, he let go very neatly, allowing Stark to put aside what he was doing to finish the unfinished business.
As a colleague who has the same competitive relationship with Stark, Nie Erqi should be happy - because it is undeniable that Stark is indeed much better than him.
Although they both belonged to the same direct commander and had similar military positions at the beginning, Stark always received more attention.
Although Nie Erqi has always regarded him as his opponent, he knows in his heart that he is still far behind him.
And if it weren't for his family background, he would never be able to catch up with Stark and be on the same plane as him, so he was always a little unconvinced when facing this Nie Erqi.
In addition, Stark is good friends with his "imaginary love rival" Jiang Hui. This guy who never seems to grow up always has some differences in his heart.
The final result is naturally as everyone knows now. Stark suspended the work at hand and transferred it to the 732nd star for teaching. The work in his hands naturally fell into Nie Erqi's hands, but Nie Erqi unexpectedly did not overwhelm Stark's pleasure. On the contrary, he was a bit depressed, always feeling that he was invincible.
Later, he accidentally contacted Stark, and then came into contact with Jiang Hui, the daughter of an old friend, so he got in touch with Stark for some reason.
This "tangle" is literal. The relationship between the two was lukewarm before, even slightly hostile, but now they are getting closer because they care about the same person.
Of course, more of it is Nie Erqi’s unilateral closeness. He often went to Stark to learn about Jiang Hui's situation, and often brought her gifts to care about her studies. If the time was right, he would occasionally give her military training courses. "It was like having an extra father" - this was Stark. Duck's exact words.
But Stark himself didn't show much resistance to this. When Nie Erqi talked nonsense, he would even respond a few times from time to time, which was considered a friendly expression. What Stark said was correct. He had decided to return to the army several years ago, and Major General Yuso asked him a few months ago. Therefore, Nie Erqi's words were clearly a matter of fact and he was just asking nonsense.
Stark was too lazy to argue with others, so he exposed him in person.
"If you want to ask anything, just say it directly. Don't be secretive." Stark glanced at the person opposite him with sharp eyes: "If you don't say anything, I will close it. The interstellar channel is not open here." It’s easy to go.”
“Hey, don’t close it! Who are you kidding? I’ve said it’s not easy to go through the interstellar passage. I said it’s okay.” I want to ask how your little guy is doing. I heard that there was a lot of noise about the general recruitment this time, and even the Major General Commander heard about it. "
Hearing this, Stark frowned: "But is the child's play worth it?"
". If I remember correctly, Major General Yuso should be busy with the new front line along with the legion commander. That’s right.”
Nie Erqihun didn’t care and said, “Yeah, I’m busy, I’m almost dying, so you can come back quickly to help.”
“But. No matter how busy you are, there is always time to take a break, and it’s not a good time to listen to some hot topics for entertainment. And you didn’t know that Major General Yuso’s family also has children who participated in the unified recruitment. I guess he has been keeping an eye on him for a long time.”
"Since you have been paying attention for a while, why bother asking me?" The young man frowned, a little speechless.
"You guys are so boring. Isn't it normal for a child to nag you as a guardian when he is successful? The little guy behaved so well that even Major General Yuso heard about it and asked if you taught him personally. "Child."
"Young friend Xiao Jiang is also very competitive. She is indeed the child of Senior Sister Jiang." No, she is more troublesome than Senior Sister Jiang. Even the arrogant Capital Military Academy is optimistic about her. If that person knows I will definitely be very proud.
Hearing this, a smile escaped from the corners of Stark's lips that had been tightened for many years.
"By the way -" the other party seemed to suddenly remember something: "Are you ready to go? Don't you wait until the kid completes the unified recruitment?"
Stark shook his head. : "No need, everything has been explained."
"Well, you will go back to the army directly as soon as you leave. Although it is not impossible to see each other in the future, the front line is tense, and I don't know when we will see each other again. The child has no other relatives around him, so he always needs a suitable person by his side. Tip. You left early again. It’s so annoying.”
“She can arrange it herself.” Stark knows Jiang Hui well and knows that the other party will not worry him.
Moreover, the matter of leaving had already been explained before the unified examination. He originally wanted to send Jiang Hui to the unified examination and leave, but ended up staying here for dozens of extra weeks. After probably a few more, I really have nothing left to miss, and it’s time to leave.
"I said you are just being stubborn, pretending not to care even though you care so much. If I were not busy, I would take this trip, but we are all people who have sold themselves to the country, and we are always pregnant. The kid can always understand if he doesn't do what he wants."
"You have to wait until her recruitment is over before leaving, anyway? Don’t you want to know how the child did in the exam?”
Stark pushed the aircraft control lever and entered the fast lane, while listening to Nie Erqi's words seemingly casually.
Just when Nie Erqi thought that the other party would not respond to this question, he heard the person opposite lowered his head and replied: "She will be the best one."
This is a sure thing. sentence.
