In the year 1245 of the Star Calendar, the S-level mecha athlete [sink] shone brightly, setting numerous records. Despite his immense glory, he announced his retirement after achieving the grand sl...
Chapter 422
There were staff from the organizer behind the channel. When the mecha was parked, many people had gathered around the Mecha Abyss.
The cheers of the Star Alliance champions passed through the passage and reached the backstage. As if noticing the sounds around him, the boy who got off the mecha turned slightly sideways. However, when he looked out, his sight passed the staff and saw a person standing in the shadow of the passage more than ten meters away.
When he saw that person, there was a hint of surprise in his calm eyes.
The tall man stood there, as if he had been waiting for a very long time.
A familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar face. Several years of experience on the border seemed to have given the man a different feeling. Maturity and restraint gave him a somewhat unfamiliar aura. He carried a marching bag on one shoulder, and did not change his combat uniform under his military jacket. A person who should not have been here appeared here——
As before, his brother would pick him up from the training ground every time he came back from vacation.
"sink?" The organizer staff paused.
Ying Chenlin's eyes did not move, he saw the man standing outside the crowd.
The organizer's staff thought something had happened, and followed Sink's line of sight, and found a stranger entering the backstage, "Wait, what's wrong with that audience member over there--"
Before I could finish my words, the people around me had already taken action.
In the distance, You Su suddenly stopped, and before he could react, the new Star Alliance champion was already running towards him.
The boy ran as if with the wind and came in front of You Su in an instant. Before You Su could reach out to catch him, Ying Chenlin had already crashed into his arms due to the speed. The two of them were pushed back two steps by the momentum and bumped into the wall of the corridor.
You Su subconsciously held onto his shoulders, but was suddenly surprised to find that the little brat, who used to be only as tall as his chest, had grown to his shoulders. "Star Alliance champion, the others are watching."
Ying Chenlin was slightly startled, his eyes falling on You Su's hand hovering on his shoulder, "Why are you here?"
"How did you get here?" You Su looked at Ying Chenlin and listened to his voice. His voice had gone through a period of voice change and had become a little brighter than when he was young. "If I had come out later, wouldn't I have missed you winning the championship?"
The border mission operation would take at least three years. Ying Chenlin did not expect You Su to appear here, nor did he expect him to come to his competition area. Ying Chenlin's eyes were all on You Su. Whenever he was communicating with other staff or signing, he would look back at You Su every few minutes.
When he got close, he could feel the other party's unrestrained mental power. S-level mental power is difficult to restrain. You Su had noticed Ying Chenlin's mental power before, but never had it been so noticeable in one day.
The joy of reunion after a long separation was not what You Su had imagined. When he saw Ying Chenlin and heard Ying Chenlin's voice, his heart was completely carried away. When the two years of border life overlapped with the person in front of him, he found that it was far from as peaceful as he had expected, whether it was Ying Chenlin winning the championship or him seeing his grown-up childhood sweetheart again.
You Su suddenly took a half step back. Ying Chenlin was slightly stunned. A staff member was already running towards him from a distance.
"I'll be there in a moment." Ying Chenlin said.
You Su stood on the periphery, watching Ying Chenlin dealing with the staff.
In two years, he has grown into an independent individual who can handle any situation properly and communicate with others freely. There is no trace of his playful nature in his youth. He has bold and superb operating skills on the court and a gentle and humble personality off the court. Every staff member has a smile on his face when communicating with him.
My friend said, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you were looking for a sink… Damn, that’s not right, you didn’t tell me that sink was your brother!”
You Su got the backstage entry permit from a friend who had retired from the border. He stood outside and looked at the words "Minor Passage" on the ceiling. His eyes were slightly stunned and his voice was a little irritated: "Yes, I'm still a few days away from adulthood."
Ying Chenlin's parents also came to Ying Chenlin's game.
Ying Chenlin did not show up at the award ceremony. When all the parents arrived, Ying Chenlin learned that You Su rushed to the second star field as soon as he came out of the border. He did not even go back to the Star Alliance headquarters to report on his work, but came here directly. For this reason, Lieutenant General Lin, who received the news, made a special phone call to inquire, but was dismissed by You Su with a few words.
Ying Chenlin did not move. He was listening beside You Su when he was talking to Lieutenant General Lin on the phone.
After joining the special forces, You Su's personality became more restrained. In the past, he always did things according to the requirements of the army, which seemed to have put a layer of shackles on his personality. But after two years of living on the border, You Su's condition seemed a little different. There was more indifference and distance between his brows, and he didn't talk as much as before. It was as if the solemnity brought back from the border shrouded him, making him feel difficult to approach.
But Ying Chenlin felt that this was You Su's most relaxed state. He didn't care about anything and didn't care too much about other people's opinions and suggestions.
"What are you looking at?" You Su ended the call and noticed the gaze next to him.
Ying Chenlin didn't look away, "Brother, have you booked a hotel?"
You Su had no time to book a hotel. After hearing what Ying Chenlin said, he looked up the hotel accommodation area around the stadium. When he clicked in, he found that almost all the hotels were sold out. The Star Alliance Tournament was already crowded, and all the rooms here were snapped up by the audience.
He frowned slightly when he saw this and was thinking of an idea when suddenly the backpack next to him was picked up by Ying Chenlin.
Ying Chenlin carried his luggage bag with ease and walked a few steps outside. Seeing You Su still standing there, he asked, "Aren't you leaving?"
You Su then closed the hotel booking interface. This brat already knew that he couldn't book a hotel and asked on purpose.
Ying Chenlin did not wait for him. When he was carrying You Su's bag, he smelled a faint smell of blood on the strap. He glanced sideways and saw a little blood on the luggage strap that had not been wiped off in time. He didn't know whether it was You Su's blood or the blood of the contaminant.
There were some activities after the Star Alliance game, so Ying Chenlin booked a room in the hotel for a long time.
You Su's luggage bag was carried into the hotel room by Ying Chenlin.
The room is a single room with only one bed, a large one.
After seeing the bed, You Su subconsciously looked at the sofa in the room. Fortunately, it was spacious enough.
You Su was in a hurry to leave the border as he had to report to the Star Alliance headquarters. When Ying Chenlin finished his work and entered the hotel, he saw You Su standing by the window and talking to the person in the picture. The person opposite him was wearing a military uniform and was You Su's comrade-in-arms.
You Su was very relaxed when talking to the other party, as if they were comrades with a good relationship.
Ying Chenlin leaned against the door and watched, without saying a word, quietly looking at You Su. Following the portrait, Ying Chenlin looked further away. The man seemed a little out of place in the hotel. When looking closely, he could see indelible traces of contaminants on his military boots. Only a back view was left, but Ying Chenlin felt as if he had seen it many times.
But this time when he came back, his brother had become different, and there seemed to be a distance between them.
"Chen Lin?" Yuan's voice appeared.
It was not until Yuan reminded him that Ying Chenlin realized that he had been standing at the door for more than two minutes.
"You Su, that's your boyfriend...not your brother!" The comrade saw the boy coming into the hotel through the video.
When You Su heard the voice, he turned his head and noticed that Ying Chenlin had returned.
The news that You Su didn't even go to the headquarters for a certain mecha division had already spread in a small area. As soon as the voice was heard, several people from the other side of the screen immediately ran over. Seeing more and more people coming over and talking at once, You Su was afraid that Ying Chenlin would hear something, so he simply said a few words and hung up: "Why are you here?"
Ying Chenlin looked at him, vaguely as if he heard something about his boyfriend, "Aren't you going to chat anymore?"
You Su had nothing to talk about, "We're done."
Ying Chenlin said "oh".
You Su noticed that Ying Chenlin was talking less, so he took something out of his luggage bag and threw it over, "Take it."
Ying Chenlin's body reacted quickly, and he caught the thing. He found that it was a string of memories similar to the one he had originally, except that there were several new memories on it, one in a row, and it was quite heavy.
"Luckily I made it in time." You Su said, "Not late, this is a gift for the champion."
Ying Chenlin suddenly felt very happy. "What gift?"
“You’ll know once you open it.” You Su said in a relaxed tone.
Ying Chenlin really couldn't wait to open it, and when it poured out, it was all supernatural crystals, dazzling. You Su looked at Ying Chenlin's fixed gaze and was about to walk over. He looked at his clothes, which still smelled of pollutants and disinfectants, and said, "I'll go take a shower first."
Before he could say anything, Ying Chenlin looked up and saw You Su turned around and went into the bathroom.
Once the voice stopped, all that was left was the message notification sound that popped up on Ying Chenlin's computer and the dazzling array of supernatural crystals in front of him.
There were all kinds of messages on the communicator. During the years that Ying Chenlin had been running around outside, he had met a lot of people. When he participated in the Star Alliance Tournament, he was just a few days away from adulthood, so the event process was much simpler than before.
He is a person who doesn't like trouble, and this protection mechanism greatly reduces his troubles.
The Star Alliance Tournament trophy was placed aside, the energy crystals sent by You Su were poured out on the bed in the hotel, and more energy-active energy crystals were still in the storage device. Ying Chenlin fiddled with the supernatural crystal, holding it in his hand to test and play with it, and was a little distracted when talking to his friend. Most of the supernatural crystals in the opened storage device were fire-type supernatural crystals, or supernatural crystals with fire properties.
Ying Chenlin's preference for fire-type energy crystals has been since he started piloting mechas. He prefers to use fire-type weapons. In the past, You Su gave him everything as a gift, but when he later discovered that he preferred fire-type weapons, the gifts seemed to include more fire-type energy crystals, and the gifts he gave were different each time. There are still several boxes of energy crystals in Ying Chenlin's home storage boxes that have not yet been unpacked.
Now there are a few more... Ying Chenlin raised his head slightly, and when he opened the light brain, he saw the messages that You Su had sent him in the past two years.
These messages were accumulated for two years and were sent to his light brain only when You Su went out of the border. Sometimes there was only one message after a few days, and sometimes there were several messages in a day... When Ying Chenlin was flipping through the pages, he was already attracted by the images recorded by You Su. The vastness of the border seemed to be condensed in small fragments of the images. When he clicked to play, it was as if he was there.
The footage recorded by the mecha will be clearer, but there are more than a dozen clips in the pile of videos that were shot on warships.
Through the warship's viewfinder, Ying Chenlin captured the surging beast tide in the contaminated area below. At first, he was attracted by the beast tide, but later his attention was attracted by You Su's left hand that accidentally entered the country. There was a medical bandage on his left hand, extending from the base of his left hand all the way out of the camera lens... Not long ago, Ying Chenlin noticed that there was a light scar on the palm of You Su's left hand.
Noticing this, when Ying Chenlin watched the images taken by You Su later, he suddenly lost some interest in the border.
The aspects that I was very interested in before have faded. The interest has shifted from the contaminated area to You Su's cockpit, or the sounds or hands in the video. Sometimes I hear the sound of the wind, and sometimes I hear the voices of You Su's comrades.
If the sound is not loud, you should amplify the ambient sound so that you can hear the recorded sound.
For some reason he was eager to know what You Su had experienced in the past two years.
I don't know how long it took, but I heard a clicking sound coming from the bathroom. A man was steaming and wearing only shorts, wiping the water droplets on his body with a towel. When Ying Chenlin heard the sound, he raised his head and saw from the side the scars on You Su's body, some deep and some shallow. There was a sense of intertwined disorder on the body with clear muscle texture. There was a white scratch on the waist and abdominal muscles that extended to the back. Water droplets fell little by little, and the sweat on his hair dripped onto the floor of the hotel.
Ying Chenlin's gaze paused for a moment.
When You Su looked at him, Ying Chenlin rarely avoided his gaze.
"I'm going to take a shower." He jumped off the bed and grabbed the clothes hanging on the chair next to him.
You Su's gaze stopped on the door of the hotel bathroom and his hand, which was wiping his hair, stopped.
"Theo?" You Su suddenly asked.
Theo was chatting with Ying Chenlin's mecha Yuan when he heard the owner's question and replied carelessly, "What?"
You Su: "Is this scar ugly?"
Theo: “?”
You Su stood in front of a mirror in the hotel
Through the reflected shadow, he briefly observed his back.
Among the wounds, the deepest one was obviously hideous.
Should he get scar removal surgery?
