Chapter 418
After just a few days of getting along, the quiet and well-behaved child in Uncle Ying's family left a clear impression on You Su's heart, so much so that after returning to the Third Star Region, he was a little uncomfortable looking at the group of noisy children in the family area.
Sometimes children came to the training ground outside the family quarters, and their chattering gave You Su a headache.
"You just found them annoying before, but you never found them noisy," said my childhood friend.
You Su thought that the child was quiet, well-behaved, obedient, and smart. He thought that when Ying Chenlin came over on his birthday this year, he would bring the child to show others that he had a well-behaved and obedient brother.
It’s a pity that Ying Chenlin didn’t come on his birthday.
You Su waited until all the spacecraft arrived before he heard from his parents that the day before departure, the child had a cold and fever, and the doctor did not recommend long-distance travel, so he could not come. He watched his parents chatting with Uncle Ying's family via video, and saw that the child lying on the bed had a red face and his eyes were not as bright as before, but when he looked at him, his gaze was still serious.
He said happy birthday brother.
You Su felt bad and spoke a few words to him, but the child became sleepy and fell asleep without saying a word.
Later, You Su received a model gift from the Dawn Galaxy. The gift was his favorite C-66 model, and it also came with a doodle drawn by a child named Ying Chenlin. He then learned from his parents that the child had prepared for the trip for several days, but unfortunately fell ill.
The distance between the first star field and the third star field was too far, so You Su asked for Uncle Ying’s address, packed the energy crystals that he had originally intended to give to the children into a large box, and finally sent it to the Dawn Border.
After his birthday, You Su hadn't heard from Ying Chenlin for a long time, because he wanted to go to the border army special training camp and had more courses at school. Lin Yi and You Yuying found a teacher for him, and they threw him into the training ground during the holidays, and he forgot about many things.
The next time I saw Ying Chenlin was on You Su’s eleventh birthday.
At that time, he was chatting with his childhood friend about the recently concluded border military exercise. From a distance, he saw the teacher's aunt walking in with the warmly dressed child. Although he was a year older, the baby fat on his face had not faded, but he was a little taller. His grown-up face was delicate and beautiful, which the other children did not have. When he first came in, he attracted the attention of his childhood friends.
The child didn't go anywhere else when he entered the unfamiliar place. The pair of bright eyes found him and looked straight at him.
The teacher's aunt let go of the child's hand, and the child ran over. He was no longer staggering like when they met two years ago. He ran very fast. His face was no longer pale, but had a healthy glow, which made him look particularly handsome.
"You Su, this is your relative's child, how come I have never seen him?" asked my childhood friend.
You Su picked up Ying Chenlin easily, "My brother, he's very well behaved."
"Come on, call me brother too!"
Seeing You Su say this, a group of children around ten years old surrounded Ying Chenlin and insisted that he follow them and call him brother.
Ying Chenlin was also well-behaved. He would shout whenever someone asked him to.
But You Su was a little depressed. Seeing other people surrounding the child, he felt unhappy as if his baby was being taken away.
Maybe there were too many people shouting and pestering him, so the child stopped shouting when he got to the back.
Every time he just looked at You Su, and would only shout if You Su told him to.
"He's too clingy to you?" asked my childhood friend.
You Su ignored them. When he saw others going out to play, he took the child's hand and went to play.
There was only a small cake at the birthday party. You Su gave the cut cake to Ying Chenlin and went outside for a barbecue with a group of childhood friends. The meat was all special animal meat supplied to the border, and it had a strong aroma when roasted. The child eating the cake seemed to have never smelled anything so fragrant, and ran to You Su while his parents were not paying attention.
Ying Chenlin had a lot of barbecue in his hands, and he liked to eat everything he saw, "Brother, I can't take it anymore."
Seeing that he could only take two skewers, You Su didn't say anything, but grilled a few more skewers of his favorite dishes and held them in his hand, "I'll take them. Ask me for them if you want some."
That night, the child had a stomachache because he ate too much, which scared Uncle Ying and Aunt Shi.
You Su was beaten up by his parents. When he went to the guest room to see the children, Ying Chenlin couldn't take his eyes off him when he saw him.
You Su asked him if his stomachache was uncomfortable.
"Brother's grilled meat is delicious." Ying Chenlin said, "I want to eat more."
You Su thought to himself that it was just one more beating, and he could bake something more delicious for the kid next time.
The birthday party was very short, and Uncle Ying and his family only stayed here for a few days before leaving. You Su thought that the next time they would meet might be on his birthday or when he went to Shuguang. However, less than two months later, when he was returning home after a training class, he saw a young and handsome man holding Ying Chenlin's hand, standing at his door and talking to You Yuying.
Shi Xuejun came to the Third Star Region on a business trip for project exchanges. The man was Ying Chenlin's uncle, and they would stay here for more than a month.
You Su learned from his parents that Uncle Ying's family had moved out of Kolya. It was said that Ying Chenlin's uncle had come to Shuguang, and they moved to the family quarters at the border of Shuguang. Ying Chenlin's health has improved. He can now travel long distances and no longer needs to take medicine frequently. He now prefers to travel around with his parents, so he came to the third star region.
Aunt Teacher and Uncle Teacher often stayed overnight at the institute, and Ying Chenlin would stay at their house.
During that period, when You Su came home from school, he would always see a well-behaved child in the living room.
When You Su was doing training questions, he would quietly stand by and watch, occasionally handing You Su tools. Because he often stayed in You Su's room too late, he would always sit and nod his head in sleep before going to bed. Once, he knocked his head directly on the table, leaving a red mark.
Later, the child learned to be smart. Whenever he came to You Su's room to play, he would bring his pillow with him so that he would not bump when he fell. However, he brought the pillow more and more often, and finally he just slept in You Su's room.
Fearing that the child would be bored, You Su even took Ying Chenlin to a training ground in the suburbs, but he was still scolded by You Yuying when he came back.
It seemed that there would be a second time for the relationship to happen once. After Shi Xuejun finished her business trip, Ying Chenlin went back. But when he went back that time, the contacts between the two families became closer. Because You Yuying had more work on the front line, You Su would go back to live in the Dawn Star Region for a few months every year. He used to live with his father.
That time when he was pulling his suitcase to Lin Yi's house, he saw a child with a dirty nose holding spare parts in the neighbor's yard.
When the child saw him, he was stunned for a moment, and then rushed over like a little cannonball.
Only then did You Su realize that Uncle Ying's family moved to next door to his father.
Ying Chenlin is usually alone at home. There will be more people at home after the adults get off work. Sometimes when the family is not at home, Ying Chenlin's uncle Shi Qingning will go to his house. Aunt Shi and Uncle Shi cook delicious food. You Su can't count on his parents. Maybe it's because he has been eating there too often, so later, whenever his parents are not at home, he simply goes to Ying's house.
The Ying family's home was not the mezzanine in the former Coria Institute, but a small villa with a garden.
Behind the garden is Grandpa Ying’s studio. Next to it is a small studio prepared for little Ying Chenlin. The child has a wild idea that he wants to be a weapons expert like his grandfather. He often draws models and assembles small parts. Once he assembled a complicated part, which attracted all the parents to gather and watch.
When Uncle Ying came back and heard about this, he set up a small studio for the child.
When You Su went to Shuguang for a short stay, he would be taken to his small studio by the children. The model wall in his room was expanded and finally expanded to the studio.
Every year when he went to Shuguang, You Su never fell behind in his studies. When he went to the training ground next to the family area for training, the children would pester him to go with them. When they went, they would not say a word but just sit beside him and watch obediently.
Shi Xuejun was a little worried at first and followed him a few times. Later, when she saw that Ying Chenlin was just sitting there playing and using the lounge in the training ground as a place to paint, she waited until You Su finished training, then took his hand and went home together.
Maybe because he spent more time staying in Shuguang, there was a new little friend in Yousu's life.
He really didn't like children before, but Ying Chenlin seemed to be an exception. He was so well-behaved that he wanted to take him wherever he went.
After two years of intermittent training, You Yuying retired when You Su was 13 years old.
You Yuying is a person who cannot stand rules. She leads the special forces of the Third Star Region very well. The Star Alliance General Office wanted to promote her to be the commander at the headquarters, but You Yuying refused. She prefers to wander around and go to the front lines, so she chose to retire and become a mercenary mecha division.
Later, the news of You Yuying's retirement spread across the border of the third star field.
In the same year, the admission notice for the Dawn Galaxy Border Special Training Camp came, and You Su was selected. You Yuying took You Su directly to the Dawn Galaxy.
For a while, You Su believed that his mother had deliberately chosen the time. She retired from the army and he joined the camp. They both saved themselves the task of taking care of the children and could wander around the polluted areas without any restrictions. But after You Yuying retired and had free time, You Su often heard that she had sneaked into the Shuguang border. His father Lin Yi knew about it every time, but he never stopped her.
However, the affairs of his parents have nothing to do with You Su. After he entered the special training camp, everything had to be done according to the training standards of the border army. It was a closed training camp with less communication with the outside world. He only had one opportunity to communicate per week, and even fewer times to use the computer. You Su was only interested in mechas, and was not very interested in other things.
It was not until half a month after entering the camp that an unfamiliar communication number appeared on his computer.
There was nothing else in the communication number except a small model. The model was crude, simpler than many models You Su had seen, but the crude workmanship made him recognize the owner of the communication number at once. You Su then realized that the kid had obtained access to the Star Network from his parents and had his first optical computer, so he couldn't wait to send him a message.
You Su could only reply a limited number of times. When he opened his messages after a week or half a month, the one who sent the most messages was Ying Chenlin.
Sometimes the things he posts are graffiti, sometimes they are models, and sometimes he is watching Star Alliance games. It is like he is a fixed player, sharing his daily life with Yousu every day.
When Ying Chenlin turned 7, You Su was unable to attend, but saw his birthday present on the computer.
It was a mecha that was much taller than a child. It was made by stationmaster Ying Songshan and became Ying Chenlin's exclusive gift. The child said that he had a new dream. He wanted to become a mecha pilot and drive a mecha to the contaminated area to kill pollutants like his father.
You Su thought to himself that the child changes every day. When he was young, he wanted to be a researcher like his mother. When he grew up, he wanted to be a weapon designer like his grandfather. Now he has a new dream, which is to become a mecha master.
Later one day, when they finished training and returned to the dormitory, they saw the children under the searchlight from afar.
Uncle Ying, who had been promoted to lieutenant general, was standing outside the training camp with his child. Little Ying Chenlin was sitting on his father's shoulders, looking around aimlessly among the border soldiers who had finished their training. When he saw him, his eyes seemed to be filled with stars, and he waved to greet him. You Su couldn't get close, but he seemed to vaguely hear a clear voice calling him brother.
After returning to the dormitory, he received a reply letter from Ying Chenlin. Lieutenant General Ying was on vacation, and the child had time to come to the military area to play with his father. The letter took a photo of them after the training, and circled him in the crowd. After reading it, You Su didn't know whether to praise the child for his sharp eyes or his ugly photography skills.
During the years of closed training, You Su would go to see the children whenever he had time during holidays. Unfortunately, Ying Chenlin had grown old and started to go to school in the family quarters, so many times his holidays were not in time.
The immature model became more and more refined, and the strokes of the circular characters became more and more elegant and three-dimensional. You Su suddenly found that he had developed a habit. Every time he got the light computer after the closed training, he would first check whether the children had sent him any new messages. It seemed that there was something interesting in the boring and repetitive training career.
However, as time goes by and he gets busier, the little kid who used to always like to hang around him seems to have his own friends.
The number of messages I sent him gradually decreased, from one message a day to two messages a week. You Su knew that the child had left Kolya and met many children of the same age in the family quarters, and that other children gradually appeared in the messages they sent to him.
But Ying Chenlin would send him birthday models every year. In the two years before his birthday, he received models made by others, but later on, the models were all made by himself. You Su didn't have anything to give as a gift. He just picked out the most beautiful supernatural crystals from among those he confiscated when he went out with the instructor for training or actual combat. Sometimes he would give them on the occasion of a child's birthday, and sometimes he wouldn't, so he would just put the whole thing in a box and give it to the person.
At the age of 15, You Su won his first special training camp championship and defeated all other competitors to obtain the individual qualification for the Border Army Star Alliance military exercise. During the holidays, he did not go anywhere else but to the Border Army family quarters not far away. As soon as he entered the family quarters, he saw children of different ages on the small training ground in the back area.
"I come here as soon as I have a holiday. Isn't this the small training ground in the Shuguang Family Quarters? There are children taking classes here." The speaker is a friend from the Yousu Training Camp, whose surname is Lu.
"My brother is here." You Su took a look and saw his target on the balancing machine in the training ground.
Several children walked down from the balancing machine. They stood with their backs straight, holding training equipment in their hands, and talked to the children around them. The child seemed to be very popular. Many children gathered around him. He even patiently helped his classmates untie the straps of the balancing machine.
You Su was standing at the entrance of the training ground. When he saw the kid walking out, he shouted inside, "Ying Chenlin!"
The 9-year-old Ying Chenlin has grown taller. He is wearing a small-sized combat uniform and his hair is cut very short, revealing his clear and beautiful eyes.
When he saw You Su, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he still walked out a few steps faster and did not rush over like a cannonball like he did when he was a child.
You Su climbed over the railing of the training ground in two steps and picked him up easily.
He has grown very fast in the past few years and is one of the tallest people in the training camp. He picked up the child and let him sit on his shoulders. "Why do you look even taller than in the photo?"
When he was lifted up, Ying Chenlin felt dizzy and held You Su's arm tightly. He hadn't been lifted so high since he was 6 years old. His face turned red when he was lifted up and all the children next to him were looking at him. He pursed his lips and said, "You Su, put me down."
"What are you calling?" You Su asked someone to sit on his shoulders. "Brother came back to see you, is that how you call people?"
He is disrespectful and thinks he is embarrassing.
