One day later.
It was evening.
Xiao He and his party returned to the High Court to make final preparations for their trip the next day.
To her and Valerie's great surprise, Patika's application for the 11th Regiment was also approved.
But Lucadi, as the leader of the group, did not think highly of her.
It was only out of respect for the dean of the Water Conservancy Department that she was given a chance to "intern".
As for yesterday's "misunderstanding," Patika didn't need Xiao He to offer any explanation.
Because she also received the latest edition of the Nuojin Times.
Xiao He and Valerie looked at each other in the dormitory, dumbfounded as she packed her luggage and planned the supplies for this expedition...
Compared to his previous irritability, he seems to be more reserved now.
"Patika, which group are you in?" Valerie broke the silence first.
"third."
"oh……"
Valerie nodded, then introduced them to each other: "I'm in the first group, and Xiao He is in the ninth group. It seems the three of us will have to split up for this operation..."
“It’s alright,” Patika replied calmly.
Xiao He leaned back silently in her chair; she had nothing to pack.
The purpose of returning to the dormitory was still to see Patika.
Seeing that she could withstand such a "minor setback," I felt relieved.
We've spent some time together, so there's a basic level of friendship between us.
"By the way, have you eaten?" Valerie asked again.
“I’ve already eaten,” Patika replied. “I ate in the cafeteria.”
"Oh, that's good!" Valerie nodded repeatedly.
Listening to the two chatting casually, Xiao He was slightly surprised.
She remembered that when Patika first arrived in the capital, she had always been very resistant to crowded places like the canteen.
It would have been difficult for her to take a step forward if she followed him or Valerie, so how could she now accept it so readily on her own?
Do setbacks help people grow?
Xiao He stroked his chin and tentatively asked, "We still have some time tonight, shall we go to the supermarket together? Yanluo's conditions aren't good, there are many things we can't get!"
"Great! Great!" Valerie jumped up immediately.
Patika thought it made sense, so she didn't object.
Since the three of them had just returned from outside, they only needed to change their shoes before heading out.
In the hallway, many people whispered among themselves as they watched the three women's backs.
One is its rare 100% affinity for the water element.
One is the youngest SSS-level array master in the entire academy.
One of them was a melee priest I'd never heard of before.
Individually, they might not seem so remarkable, after all, you can't get into the Supreme Court without some real talent. But when these three "outliers" come together, they become quite eye-catching.
Because although there are only three of them, if you do the math, they have all the necessary skills: warrior, mage, priest, controller, and support, making them a full-strength team.
This kind of combination is quite rare among girls' various "sisterhoods".
For example, pure calculation-based science professions like "array master" or close-combat melee warriors are career paths that most girls wouldn't choose.
Even the pastors are mostly male.
Because there are "surgical classes" that require precise mental calculations, and "surgical practice" that tests one's psychological endurance.
At first glance, among the three, Patika seemed to be the only one who appeared to be a "normal girl".
As the three figures disappeared around the corner of the corridor, the whispers among the crowd continued to simmer...
Xiao He didn't care what others said, and Valerie never paid attention to such things either; only Patika would even consider them.
She glanced at Xiao He on her left, then at Valerie on her right.
Suddenly, I realized that their mindset might actually make life easier...
-
Downstairs, Xiao He summoned a carriage.
The three of them skillfully got into the car, closed the door, and fastened their seat belts.
"Oh, by the way, Xuefeng, do you want to go shopping together?" Valerie asked.
"No need, I'll buy it myself," Xiao He replied.
“Oh.” Valerie nodded.
After a while, she suddenly remembered that in the morning, the two of them seemed to have said they were going to register something.
"Smack—"
She slapped her thigh.
"Marriage certificate!"
Patika, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was startled by her.
"What marriage certificate?" Patika blurted out.
"Xiao He and Xuefeng's marriage certificate!" Valerie declared firmly.
"What?" Patika asked, puzzled.
Xiao He, who was driving, didn't explain and casually tossed out a red booklet.
Patika reached out and took it, turning to the first page.
"this……"
"Wang Xuefeng (husband), Xiao He (wife) - a legally recognized married couple by Nuojin Continent."
"Don't you... need a wedding?"
Patika didn't know why, but this was the first question that came to her mind.
"No need," Xiao He said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Patika was once again at a loss.
Logically speaking, a beautiful and romantic wedding that you want to tell the whole world is the same dream in every girl's heart!
"You...don't like it?"
"It's alright, I don't have any particular ideas, mainly because I don't have much time right now."
"No time?" Patika asked, puzzled. "Then what are you planning to do?"
In her view, now that Xiao He and Wang Xuefeng were married, the next step should have been to use their savings to buy a house in the capital, retire from military life, find a stable job in the city, and have children…
“We still have a lot to do and don’t have time to settle down right now,” Xiao He explained helplessly. “Maybe we’ll consider that once we’ve finished our work.”
