Chapter 64: The tassels on the silent military uniform stick to the soft hospital gown...

Before Ji He woke up, Admiral Huo knocked on his ward door.

The door opened slowly, seemingly hesitantly.

The moment Colonel Huo in the ward saw his grandfather, he almost subconsciously stood in front of Ji He's bed, as if the other party would do something to Beta.

However, Huo Yingzhan does have a criminal record.

Admiral Huo had sharp eyes and naturally saw this action. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. In his eyes, Huo Yubai's actions at this moment were like a hen protecting her cubs.

"Come with me."

Colonel Huo frowned slightly and refused bluntly, "I want to stay here to guard Ji He."

"Are there doctors and nurses here to take care of him, or are you worried about what I might do to him?"

There have always been problems with the way Huo Yingzhan speaks, but no one dares to refute it, and it has become a long-standing and difficult problem.

Huo Shang pursed his lips, took off his military cap, put it in his hand, and waited for Huo Yubai's answer.

"It's not like you haven't done it before..."

"Are you still blaming me for what happened to Fire Star?"

The last time, Huo Yubai thought Ji He was murdered and his heart died with it. How could he not feel guilty?

But rather than blaming his grandfather, he actually resented himself more.

At this moment, silence is the best answer.

There was no extra expression on Huo Yingzhan's face as he looked at Ji He lying on the hospital bed.

During the battle of Capital Star, Admiral Huo found himself changing from a radical to a conservative. He thought Huo Yubai's plan was too risky, and he was unwilling to believe that Ji He had the ability to turn the situation around.

It was not until the war was won that he suddenly realized that he, the commander in name only, had actually already stood behind the curtain of history.

This world belongs to the young.

"The Federal Medal of Honor has been approved."

"It depends on whether he can wake up."

I only heard Admiral Huo speak faintly, and then finally got a positive response from Colonel Huo.

"Thank you, Admiral."

"Are you really going to be with him?"

Admiral Huo raised his eyes and cast a cold gaze over, as if he wanted to see through this child whom he had watched grow up since childhood.

Huo Yubai's eyes were firm. He nodded, lowered his eyes to look at Ji He on the bed, and replied, "Yes."

"No regrets?"

Alpha just shook his head. He would never make any decision that went against his own heart, and he didn't want to regret it for the rest of his life.

He can't live without Ji He.

"Even if I still object?"

Huo Yubai repeated in a low voice: "Even if you still object."

"I can't afford to lose him."

"I don't think you can afford to lose me."

"Huh, are you threatening me?"

Huo Yingzhan seemed to suddenly think of something funny. He started coughing while laughing, then slowly turned his back.

"You know I expect the same of you as I do of your father."

“But you always let me down.”

A sigh squeezed out of the Alpha's throat, becoming less noticeable.

"Maybe I'm wrong."

Huo Yubai raised his eyes slightly, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

I'm afraid my grandfather never said such words in his life, let alone bowed to others.

Alpha is tough, stubborn, and unsympathetic, yet will actually say, “Maybe my idea is wrong.”

"On paper, I am the commander of this battle, but in reality, it is you and Ji He."

"Although I don't want to admit it, you did work together to save the capital planet from being destroyed, and you can even say that you saved the entire galaxy."

"Both you and Ji He are beyond my imagination."

Colonel Huo took two steps forward and asked the question that concerned him most.

"Are you saying that you agree that Ji He and I should be together?"

This time, the person who used silence instead of answering was Huo Yingzhan.

Alpha put on his gray-green military cap again, turned around slowly, and reached out to touch the young Alpha's military badge.

Colonel Huo looked at his grandfather's back and realized for the first time that he seemed not to have looked at the other person seriously for a long time.

Time slowly went back to the next moment, still in this ward.

Ji He finished a day of rehabilitation training and sat on the hospital bed, fiddling with the newly replaced lilies and platycodon.

He liked these two kinds of flowers, but he had never told anyone about them and had no chance to grow them.

I don't know when the federal military had the leisure time to tend to flowers and plants in his spare time.

"Instructor!"

"Instructor!"

"Instructor!"

Three loud and powerful shouts followed, and Beta, who had been ill for a long time, was stunned.

The first head that popped up from the door panel was Xu Tianyang, followed by Li Ran and Cheng Zhi.

These three Alphas were stacked together like in a comedy, with their mouths stretched particularly wide.

"This is water...fruit and nutrients."

Xu Tianyang was seen carrying bags of various sizes in his hands, which he placed on the folding table at the instructor's instruction.

"Thank you."

Ji He curled his eyes and looked very happy. He really didn't expect that he would see them again.

"Instructor, how do you feel now? You really scared us to death on the battlefield."

"That mecha was directly destroyed by mental power. This is the first time I have seen such a scene in my life."

"Instructor, water."

Ji He took the water from Cheng Zhidi, moistened his throat, and replied, "Except for occasional headaches, there is no problem. We can return to Planet No. 2 after a while."

"By the way, I don't know which base you are in now."

Xu Tianyang pointed at his nose and replied, "I'm on Huoyao Star."

Ji He was stunned when he heard this. If the spaceship he boarded had not been captured by interstellar pirates, he would probably have met Xu Tianyang.

It seems that the two of them are quite compatible.

"Li Ran and I are on the Icefield Planet."

Ice planet?

If Ji He remembered correctly, it should be an extremely cold planet that has not yet been developed.

Putting aside Li Ran’s bad temper, why did Cheng Zhi go from Planet No. 2 to Planet Ice with his performance and personality?

"What happened?"

Cheng Zhi shook his head and explained in a gentle voice: "We followed Colonel Huo to the Icefield Planet."

"Why would he go there?"

Ji He raised his eyebrows slightly, not quite understanding. A commander with a bright future should not go to the Ice Planet no matter what choice he made.

Cheng Zhi pursed his lips and replied in a deep voice: "When the colonel learned that you had an accident on the airship, he was greatly shocked."

Ji He raised his eyes and looked at Cheng Zhi who was hesitant to speak, thinking that as a half-informed person, he might have some misunderstanding about the whole thing.

Maybe, going to the Ice Planet is just an experience.

"The Ice Star is not far from the Andromeda Galaxy. We mainly hunt interstellar pirates and occasionally reclaim wasteland."

"But it's all ice and snow over there, and there's nothing but some groundwater under the rock."

As soon as Li Ran opened his mouth, he changed the topic to other places.

Xu Tianyang listened and replied stupidly: "Then your conditions are even more difficult than ours."

"That's right." Li Ran slapped his thigh. He did not regret following Colonel Huo to leave Planet No. 2, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart.

"At least we can still dig up some red iron ore on Huoyao Star and sell it for money, but our groundwater is so expensive that no one wants it."

"You don't even know how strong the wind is, it's so strong that I feel like I'm being slapped in the face every day."

Li Ran spoke while performing vividly.

Foolish Xu Tianyang really believed it and was almost moved to tears by the other party's exaggeration.

Ji He watched them play, lowered his head, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

It's good as it is now.

After the three of them went back, the ward suddenly became quiet, and Ji He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

So, he also likes the hustle and bustle?

In the evening, it was time for all the inpatients to go out for some fresh air, so Ji He simply went out for a walk by himself.

When he came back, he saw Huo Yubai changing the water for the flowers.

He was not sure whether the Alpha noticed him or not, because he seemed to be very focused and the movement of adding nutrient solution was very smooth.

But according to Ji He's judgment, Colonel Huo should have added more nutrient solution.

"You're back."

"Colonel Huo."

Ji He leaned sideways, walked past him, and nodded slightly.

The way Huo Yubai fiddled with the flowers looked a little strange, as if he had filled the muzzle of a gun with candies.

It's not that you can't, it just doesn't match.

"Colonel?"

Colonel Huo immediately put down what he was doing and stared into Ji He's eyes, as if he was expecting him to call him again in the same tone as before.

“You don’t have to do these things.”

This sentence was spoken with a sigh.

Ji He held back for several times, but finally said it out loud.

"We're done."

Huo Yubai pursed his lips. The shadow of his hat brim blocked his vision a little, and the cypress-scented pheromones suddenly surged.

Beta cannot smell pheromones and is completely unaware of the danger at the moment.

“Even if it ends, you can start over.”

"I always find ways to coax you."

"If one doesn't work, try a hundred. If a hundred doesn't work, try a thousand."

The military boots made quite a noise when they stepped on the floor tiles, which gave off a very oppressive feeling.

Ji He frowned and opened his mouth to refute, but was pushed into a corner by Colonel Huo.

Huo Yubai did not get a response from the other party, so he continued anxiously: "I will treat you well, only you well, and only be with you. Let's start over again."

The Alpha's face was getting closer and closer, and his moving eyes were filled with affection.

"Ji He, let's start over again."

Ji He spoke calmly, and with just one sentence, he sent Huo Yubai into an abyss of hell.

"I can't forget it."

"I don't believe you either."

He didn't want to make the same mistake again.

When I was a kid, I believed in him and thought of him as my dream, which was innocent. When I grew up, I believed in him again and thought of myself as being possessed by the devil. But now, what does it matter?

Ji He took two steps back before realizing that he had nowhere to retreat.

He doesn't like this.

"Do you hate me?"

Beta's silence made Alpha flustered.

"You can't convince yourself that you totally hate me, can you?"

Huo Yubai was very close to Ji He, so close that he could kiss her, so he went up to her with red eyes and a pleading attitude.

My heart skipped a beat.

The tassels on the military uniform stuck to the soft hospital gown, making a slight sound.

Ji He's expression became sober, and when Alpha was less than a centimeter away from him, he stretched out his hand and accurately stood between the two of them.

"I won't be fooled again."

Beta said this while putting his hand on Alpha's lips and slowly distanced themselves from each other.
