Far Eastern Stars

After eating a steaming meal and having a good night's rest, Liu Yunchen's cold symptoms have subsided a lot.At five o'clock the next morning, the alarm clock next to the bed rang on time.Liu Yunchen got up from the bed, finished washing as quickly as possible, and went downstairs to complete the simple discharge procedures.

"I hope you are doing well." The nurse aunt liked him very much.

"Thank you." Liu Yunchen smiled gratefully, wrapped his windbreaker tightly and pushed open the door, his back quickly merged with the snowstorm.

Although the official departure will be at eight o'clock, freshmen who have just entered the school should always have a positive attitude. The big clock on the playground has just pointed to the scale six, and the dormitory building has already started to be lively. Forced to act as an event exhibit - almost everyone has to glance at him intentionally or unintentionally.

"You're back!" Bai Zhou was hugging a stack of quilts, struggling to open the door of the dormitory, "Senior Ina just came over and helped you organize the backpack you need for the march."

"Really?" Liu Yunchen glanced at his dormitory, and saw that there was indeed a backpack on the ground, and his clothes were neatly folded and placed on the bed.

"Huh, I'm exhausted." Bai Zhou pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and sat down on the bed.

"Need help?" Liu Yunchen asked.

"It doesn't matter, I can do it by myself." Bai Zhou opened the backpack and chatted while tidying up, "I have never been to the imperial capital, is it very prosperous?

"Yeah." Liu Yunchen nodded, and asked again, "What about you, where are you from?"

"New Zena is an island at the southern tip of the mainland." Bai Zhou replied, "This is the first time I have left my hometown."

"But you look very sophisticated." Liu Yunchen handed him the folded shirt.

"Of course, I have received special training for half a year before I can pass the military school exam." Bai Zhou lay down on his backpack and pressed the things down, "My family originally wanted me to take the medical department of Imperial University, but later I He ran away from home in exchange for the opportunity to enroll in the Icefield Military Academy."

Liu Yunchen squatted opposite him: "It seems that you really like this place."

"Don't you like it?" Bai Zhou looked at him.

Liu Yunchen thought for a while, then shook his head.

"Why did you come?" Bai Zhou asked confusedly.

"This is a very long story." Liu Yunchen propped his cheeks with his hands, and said sullenly, "If there is a chance in the future, I can tell you slowly."

When the wake-up bell rang, everyone speeded up.At seven o'clock, the cafeteria was full of people, and the meals for the new students were provided according to standard meals, including bread, fried eggs, potatoes and thick soup, as well as canned beans stew.

Holding the dinner plate, Liu Yunchen pushed through the crowd and sat in the corner with Bai Zhou.

"Hurry up and eat." Bai Zhou urged, "Then we can get two more cans."

Liu Yunchen looked at the big dark plate of food in front of him and lost his appetite.

"You probably had a luxurious breakfast before, but that's all the military academy has." Bai Zhou puffed up his cheeks and blew the soup to cool down. "Besides, marching in a hurry is very exhausting. We must have sufficient food to provide energy."

Liu Yunchen looked around, everyone was wolfing down, so he followed suit and stuffed the bread into his mouth, his mouth was full of rough texture and bitter salty taste.Even the canned food gave off a smell of formalin from the hospital, but no one raised any objections—in this military academy, only survival and victory are the highest rules.

At [-]:[-], all the freshmen had already lined up on the playground, and there was a gleam of light in the east. The blizzard that had been raging for half a month had finally stopped, which was a good sign.But what surprised everyone at the scene was that General Thornton himself was in charge of the special training for freshmen.

"It's dead." Bai Zhou lamented softly. There are obviously many people who have the same idea as him, but no one dares to raise objections—although on the admission notice, the person in charge of this special training should be Nan Ming .

"Boss, do we really not want to follow?" In the teaching building, Yi Na was standing by the window, looking at Liu Yunchen downstairs, "As long as we don't take the initiative to show up, I don't think General Thornton will take this seriously." Raise objections."

"Once he sails to the sea area of ​​Artis, he will be part of the team." Ke Lei shook his glass, "He must learn to protect himself instead of seeking protection from others."

"If he stays in the snow for half an hour, he will faint. I don't think he can adapt to the environment here immediately." Yi Na emphasized, "And the person in charge of this march is not Nan Ming. General Thornton obviously won't be patient. To take care of a rich young master who may be in trouble at any time."

Corey frowned slightly.

"Ahem...I agree with Yi Na's opinion." Ming Chuan also said, "No accident can happen to the Liuyun family, at least not in our hands."

"Boss, I'm applying to join the protection team." Ares raised his hand.

"You and Ming Chuan stay in the casino." After a long time, Ke Lei put down the wine glass in his hand, "I will protect him personally."

The golden sunlight fell on the frozen snow field, but it didn't bring much warmth. On the contrary, it was surrounded by refracted light, which made people dizzy more easily.

"Are you okay?" Bai Zhou asked in a low voice.

"It's okay." Liu Yunchen shook his head, except for some shortness of breath, there was not much discomfort.

"We won't arrive at the campsite until about eight o'clock in the evening. There will be hot soup and a fire, and we might even see the aurora." Bai Zhou said, "If you're not feeling well, you can share some of your luggage with me. It's allowed by the rules."

"Thank you." Liu Yunchen tightened the strap of his backpack, "If we can go to the imperial capital together in the future, I will treat you to the best meal!"

With the enthusiasm of the new students and sufficient physical fitness, the march on the first day was very smooth, and they even arrived at the campsite half an hour earlier.The tent was quickly set up, and the iron pan was hung over the fire, gurgling and cooking the aroma of ham.

Liu Yunchen lined up to take the big bowl from the chef's hand, the temperature spread from the palm of his hand all the way to his body, driving away a lot of chill, so he couldn't help holding it for a while longer.

"How long are you going to hold it and look at it?" A cold inquiry suddenly came from behind.

Liu Yunchen was taken aback, and quickly stood up: "Mr. Principal."

There was no trace of warmth in Thornton's voice: "If you don't want to eat, go to the kitchen to help now and prepare food for the rest of the people."

The surroundings were completely silent, almost everyone was looking at this side, Liu Yunchen lowered his head in frustration, "Yes, sir."

"Are you talking to the ice field?" Thornton dissatisfied.

Liu Yunchen bit her lower lip, raised her head and looked at him.

"Ax!" Thornton said loudly.

"Your Excellency." The tall orc captain came over.

"Arrange a vigil for him tonight." Thornton turned around and strode back to the tent.

"Yes!" The orc captain looked Liu Yunchen up and down, "Let's go, you will be responsible for guarding the entrance of the forest tonight."

The aurora in the sky changes, as if it is the neon lights that never go out all night in the imperial capital.

Liu Yunchen stood on the sentry post, and took a deep breath into the palm of his hand.The calories provided by dinner have already been exhausted, the stomach is rumbling and protesting, the cold wind is howling to pierce the bones, it seems that it will never wait for dawn.

In the dead of night, a small black figure suddenly ran over quietly, stuffed something into his hand, then turned around and ran away quickly, for fear of being discovered.

Liu Yunchen spread out his palm, and saw that it was a pack of chocolate candies, which had probably been hidden for a long time, and had already melted into the wrapping paper.

"I can't tell, I made friends so quickly." Yi Na joked at the edge of the woodland.

"What's his name?" Curley asked.

"Baizhou, from an ancient family in New Zena, is a chemical genius." Ina said, he blew up his bedroom in the third grade, and made a rocket in the second grade, and flew into the sky with the test papers of the whole class. "

Clay laughed. "Sounds like a worthwhile entry into the munitions department."

"It shouldn't snow tonight, but the weather is still very bad." Ina said, "Do you want to meet General Thornton?"

"It's just a night watch, it's not necessary." Ke Lei said, "He does need more exercise."

"But what if it freezes?" Yi Na reminded.

Ke Lei joked: "There is no reason for the legendary vampire family to be overthrown by the cold."

"Boss." Ina sighed, "You've been making jokes at inappropriate times recently."

"It's not just us, Thornton doesn't want him to have an accident, so don't worry." Ke Lei said, "Let's go, go back and rest."

The last hint of sweetness melts in the mouth, and there seems to be some spiciness.It has a peculiar taste, but it has a good cold-dispelling effect.Liu Yunchen moved his body a bit, and finally his palms felt warm.

The snow field in front of him was suddenly opened with a small hole, and a small head popped out from it, with big ears almost reaching to the sky.

Liu Yunchen laughed out loud, reaching out to hug it.The snow rabbit didn't struggle, but its body trembled a little. Its front paw seemed to be injured, and it curled up and couldn't move.

The orc soldiers came from a distance, it should be time for the changing of the guard.Before he had time to think about it, Liu Yunchen put the snow rabbit into the pocket of his coat, and quickly closed the zipper.

As if he could feel the danger, Snow Rabbit stayed obediently in the pocket of his coat and didn't move at all. When the Wa orc soldiers had a brief handover with Liu Yunchen, they didn't notice anything strange at all.

In less than two hours, worried that he would oversleep, he simply leaned against the head of the bed with his clothes on, and waited for the whistle to sound with his eyes open.

Staying up all night is not a big deal. Relatively speaking, the snow rabbit brought back is even more troublesome.Although I don't know if there is a clear statement in the school rules of the Icefield Military Academy, but it sounds like it is worth being... confinement to bring pets with you during the training camp.

Thinking of Thorton's face, Liu Yunchen unconsciously felt his back go numb.The little snow rabbit was lying on the quilt, licking the injured front leg earnestly, her big ears trembling slightly, she looked so cute and fragile that it made people feel distressed.

If he just left it like this, even if he didn't get eaten by the snow fox, he probably wouldn't survive three days in the ice field.Liu Yunchen sighed inwardly, tore off a small strip from his shirt to make a bandage, and helped it wrap up the wound carefully.

Little Snow Rabbit looked up at him.

"You have to be good." Liu Yunchen flicked its nose, "otherwise it will be discovered by others soon."

There was a rustling sound outside the tent, and then a person came in.

Liu Yunchen was taken aback, and instinctively covered the little snow rabbit under the quilt.

"I knew you weren't asleep yet." Bai Zhou was in his pajamas, shivering from the cold.

"Why are you running here now?" Liu Yunchen was surprised.

"This is for you." Bai Zhou stuffed a small bag into his hand.

"Pocket watch?" Liu Yunchen poured out the contents, "Why did you give me this?"

"You can set an alarm clock." Bai Zhou taught him.

"I know." Liu Yunchen smiled, "It's the same as my father's."

"You haven't received special training, you shouldn't be able to rely on your biological clock to get up, and you shouldn't be able to pack and assemble within one minute, but you can't stay asleep all the time." Bai Zhou said, "So you probably need this."

"Thank you." Liu Yunchen was very grateful, and his eyes were a little hot.

"Then I'll go back first." Bai Zhou itched his nostrils and sneezed hard.

A small ball bulging in the quilt froze, and then slowly began to move forward.

Bai Zhou: "..."

Liu Yunchen: "..."

"This, this, what is this?" Bai Zhou asked stammeringly.

"I just picked it up at the sentry." Liu Yunchen helplessly lifted the quilt, "Here, that's it."

"Snow Rabbit?" Bai Zhou was startled, and lowered his voice, "You are crazy, what if the instructor finds out?"

"It's just a rabbit." Liu Yunchen frowned, "Will it bring serious consequences?"

"When marching in a hurry, everyone's luggage must be reduced to the minimum, so as to save energy to the greatest extent." Bai Zhou replied, "Although there is no precedent, the principal will definitely not allow anyone to take a pet on the road." But it was injured." Liu Yunchen said.

"It's a little troublesome." Bai Zhou carried the little rabbit, "If there is no other way, I can only give it to the chef to take care of it. If someone finds it, it can be said that it is... reserve grain - ready to make roasted rabbits kind." "But none of us know the head chef." Liu Yunchen asked, "Are you sure he will agree?"

Bai Zhou: "..."

I'm not sure.

"It's still not necessary, I will be careful myself." Liu Yunchen urged, "We will gather at dawn, go back and rest."

"Yeah." There was no other way for a while, so Bai Zhou could only return the little rabbit to him, "Then you should be more careful."

Seeing Bai Zhou sneaking out of Liu Yunchen's tent, Yi Na joked, "It seems that he is also a little guy who doesn't want to follow the rules. .”

"You've often mentioned him recently." Ke Lei put down the wine glass in his hand.

"Because he's really cute." Yi Na pointed to the camping area, "Running around in the middle of the night, like... a little thief in a comic book."

"You know I'm not referring to Baizhou." Ke Lei said casually, "It's Liuyunji."

Ina: "..."

"Don't be nervous, it's a good thing to be willing to fall in love." Ke Lei raised his eyebrows.

"He Liuyunji?" Yi Na couldn't laugh or cry, "Boss, I think you seem to have misunderstood something."

Ke Lei frowned and looked into the distance: "Shorton?"

"I just think it's a kind of blood sucking from the financial family... You mean General Thornton?" Yi Na followed his line of sight, just in time to see Thornton enter a tent.

"Well, it seems that the Liuyun family is troublesome for everyone." Yi Na spread her hands, "Even the famous General Thornton is no exception."

In the small marching tent, Liu Yunchen was looking nervously at the man in front of him.

The surrounding air was filled with the breath of undead, and Thornton's face became even more gloomy: "Now should be your rest time."

"Yes!" Liu Yunchen stood upright - but it was more like a social etiquette than a formal military posture.

"If I remember correctly, nearly an hour has passed since you handed over the guard post." Thornton asked in a deep voice, "What have you been doing during this time?"

"I have some, uh, insomnia." Liu Yunchen replied.

"Reason." Thornton looked at him.

Insomnia still needs a reason? Liu Yunchen's brain temporarily stopped functioning: "Because... puberty."

Thornton: "..."

After realizing what he just said, Liu Yunchen almost wanted to plunge into his backpack, and his whole body seemed to be on fire.

puberty?

It sounds really stupid.

Looking at his obviously stiff body and unnatural expression, Thornton's expression became more and more gloomy, and his eyes swept over every corner of the tent.

Liu Yunchen held his breath, and his brain was almost starved of oxygen—he was about to take a rest just now, but Thornton walked in suddenly, and almost at the same moment, the snow rabbit that was lying on the pillow disappeared without a trace, like Never existed.

There was a bulging round bun in the middle of the camp bed, and Thornton threw off the quilt.

On a sunny day, there was a thunderbolt, and Liu Yunchen tightly closed his eyes, preparing for the next storm—this is the end of it.

It seemed that something fell on the ground and rolled towards the corner of the wall.Thornton bent down to pick it up: "A meteorite?"

Huh? Liu Yunchen cautiously opened his eyes a little.

There is no snow rabbit, but there is a blue gemstone shining in Thornton's hand. There are some fine rays of light in the stone, which seems to fill the entire universe from a distance.

"Well, it's a gift from my father." Liu Yunchen replied, "Birthday gift."

"Liuyun Zeyu." Thornton thought about it.

Liu Yunchen looked at him nervously.

"During the march, you are not allowed to bring any extra baggage." Thornton said with a blank expression.

"Sorry." Liu Yunchen tried to argue, "But this meteorite is very small."

"Its weight is equivalent to five bullets." Thornton said, "When you go to the battlefield, five bullets can kill five enemy troops. No one will choose to fight with a stone, and your current identity is soldier."

Liu Yunchen was at a loss for words, and frankly speaking, although the other party's words were somewhat unreasonable, it was indeed impossible to refute them logically.

"When you leave the military academy, come to me to get it back." Thornton ordered, "Go to bed right now."

Liu Yunchen watched helplessly as he put the meteorite back into the pocket of his military uniform.

"Boss, are you sure you don't want to go and have a look?" Yi Na was worried about the hill in the distance, "General Thornton seems to have stayed there for too long."

"The people who offended him are Liuyun Zeyu and Liuyunji, not the little guy in the tent." Ke Lei shook his head, "I don't think Thornton will be so indiscriminate between public and private."

"But...what if?

Ina hesitated.

"Doting is not a good thing." Ke Lei turned back to his tent, "You should go to bed."

Ina sighed inwardly, and glanced in the direction of the camp.
