Lori fell silent.
She frowned before saying softly, "If I can get into the military now, I might get a good position." However, after thinking about it, she sighed and said, "Never mind, I'd better stay and continue my studies."
"Why?"
“There’s no harm in learning more,” Lori said softly. “At least, when I can pilot a mech, I’ll have more experience.” The skillful judgment Shen Wangshu displayed on the warship resonated deeply with Lori.
.
Although she knew that as a command major, she would be adept at these things, while she, as a mecha major, only needed to follow behind these smart people and attack wherever they were directed, Lori still wished she could be a little smarter. However, she was too embarrassed to say it aloud, and seeing that Shen Wangshu didn't ask, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It takes a lot of courage to admit that you're not very smart.
Kerry sat pale-faced by the window next to Lori, his eyes vacantly fixed on the boundless sea of stars outside.
"He looks very haggard," Lori said quietly, glancing at the boy.
A melancholic, handsome young man always attracts more attention.
The handsome young man heard this, pursed his lips, and didn't have the strength to refute the chattering girl.
"Why is that?" A naive voice seemed to add fuel to the fire.
Kerry looked at Shen Wangshu, who was pretending to be an innocent girl, with a gloomy expression. He had already seen through her true nature when she was putting on an act. His gaze was deep and unfathomable.
He was so frightened by his older brother that he didn't sleep all night.
"I really don't like Kerry. If you like him, you can go after him." Seeing that Luo Li was becoming more distant from Kerry, Shen Wangshu was afraid that the boy would be heartbroken if he lost an admirer in the future, so she said with a smile, "I have someone I like, and he's over there."
She paused, and as Lori followed her finger and then looked at him with a horrified expression, she casually asked, "Isn't she much better than Kerry?" Even at a time like this, she didn't forget to put him down, making Kerry feel that his future was probably not very bright.
Just thinking about a girl like that marrying into the Carls family makes my stomach hurt.
“Admiral Karls?” Lori asked in a low, terrified voice.
She couldn't help but recall the scene from yesterday where the tall, black-haired man had pulled Shen Wangshu into his arms.
“He and you… don’t seem to be a good match,” she said hesitantly.
However, seeing Shen Wangshu smile at her, she still asked uneasily, "Does the General like you?" General Karls was known throughout the Federation for his ruthlessness. Although he had a distinguished military record and was a famous victorious general who had led his fleet to defeat countless enemies, he seemed too cold and was said to be extremely ruthless.
How could such a cold and hard man be worthy of a beautiful, lamb-like blonde girl? Lori thought she liked Kerry more than Admiral Kars, and whispered, "I heard he doesn't like women. If you ask me, you should get engaged to Kerry."
Kerry sat to the side and sighed deeply.
He didn't understand why, even though the engagement had fallen through, he was still being dragged into being compared to his older brother all the time.
God knows, Effie used to dislike her older brother but liked him more, and had even asked him to sit quietly by her bedside all night.
That kind of gaze is a nightmare.
"Don't you like women?" Shen Wangshu felt a warmth in his heart when he saw Luo Li's worried expression.
It feels good to be cared for, but it feels strange to have someone give up something that your sweetheart gave you.
Lori clearly liked Kerry, but she tried her best to act like she didn't care.
.
"I heard that the General likes men." Lori peeked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention to her, whispered in Shen Wangshu's ear.
"Nonsense!" Kerry couldn't take it anymore. If he didn't refute it, his older brother might banish him to a white dwarf. He stood up, frowning, and said, "It's all made up."
“What nonsense! I know who it is, it’s that blond guy!” Lori said to Kerry with an indignant expression. “So what if you like men? What’s wrong with admitting it? It’s not like you can’t have children.”
The Federation doesn't look down on same-sex marriage, and with rapid technological advancements, same-sex couples can still produce offspring through culture. Moreover, the military is predominantly male, so same-sex marriage is very common there. Lori thought Kerry was making a mountain out of a molehill and asked suspiciously, "You're not being discriminatory, are you?"
Recently, there have been many people advocating for a return to the past and demanding the abolition of same-sex marriage laws.
Clifton protested, "I'm not discriminating, because this whole thing is completely fabricated."
"With such a handsome man right next to you, why aren't you making a move?" This time it was Lori's turn to gossip.
Kerry was so angry that he closed his eyes.
Shen Wangshu immediately understood why the blond adjutant had been so enthusiastic towards him.
Shen Wangshu's appearance rescued him from the scandal involving his superior officer.
However, seeing how enthusiastically he was promoting his own superior, Shen Wangshu listened with a smile, watching Luo Li and Ke Li bickering. Looking at these two vibrant young people, and seeing that their lives had not been lost, she couldn't help but smile genuinely.
The smile was so beautiful and clear that it startled Lori, who had turned her head to ask for her help. Lori said with a slightly unfocused look, "But speaking of which, Alice is really pretty." She felt that she had never seen such a soft and innocent girl before, and blushed as she put her arm around Shen Wangshu's shoulder.
Shen Wangshu, used to this, looked at the smiling Luo Li and said, "Senior is also very pretty."
Her sincerity caused a bad look to appear on the face of the black-haired boy in front of her.
He simply watched with a complicated expression as the two girls turned hostility into friendship, discarding their love rivals and becoming good friends. After a long while, seeing Lori glancing at him uncomfortably from time to time, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Lori still likes him.
However, Admiral Karls was unaware of Lori's secret crush on Mei. When he saw the two girls getting close to each other, laughing and joking intimately, his expression darkened slightly.
He walked past all the students and soldiers who saluted him, reached Shen Wangshu's side, pulled her into his arms, and gave the red-haired girl a cold glare.
Lori found it all very strange.
She felt she was a law-abiding citizen who had done nothing wrong.
"She's mine!" the black-haired general declared to the red-haired girl with a cold, hard expression, silently gathering his inner strength.
Even women can't relax.
This damned federal same-sex marriage law!
