Dressed as the only Omega in the Star Military Academy

Chapter 677 Removing the Hidden Nail

Lu Chihuan felt a dull pain in the tip of his nose.

At this moment he couldn't help but curl up his body and take two deep breaths.

There was an obvious trace of moisture in his eyes, and after the discomfort subsided, he grabbed the communicator that had hit him, and then rubbed the tip of his nose lightly a few times.

however.

After seeing the dialed number, his eyes went dark again.

Lu Chihuan was in a panic.

He was in a hurry to hang up the call, but he was a little slow. The communicator beeped twice before the person on the other end picked up the call.

as if--

It seemed like the other party had been waiting for this call.

"Hey?"

The voice of the person on the other end of the communicator came over, cold and low, making Lu Chihuan unconsciously think of the lake covered with a thick layer of ice and the heavy snow falling in the quiet forest.

Because the signal was slightly distorted, the voice even sounded a little hoarse.

For an instant.

Lu Chihuan seemed to be having hallucinations.

He smelled the slightly bitter scent of ebony, which made the glands on the back of his neck slightly warm up and his heart beat faster, like a continuous drumbeat.

"Cough cough."

Lu Chihuan deliberately cleared his throat, and his Adam's apple rolled a few times.

As if he didn't know what to say, he scratched the raised edges of the quilt with his fingers. His thick eyelashes like crow feathers trembled slightly, and his light pink lips pursed.

The person on the other end of the communicator seemed very patient and was not in a hurry to urge Lu Chihuan to speak.

On the contrary, Lu Chihuan couldn't stand the slightly strange atmosphere in front of him. It made him feel... as if something was deviating from its original track and was even on the verge of losing control.

He also felt very uncomfortable.

Therefore, he tried hard to organize his words before speaking. His voice sounded soft and a little nasal.

"Zhou Zhi."

"How are you doing on the main planet?"

After asking this question, Lu Chihuan was worried that Zhou Zhi would tease or laugh at him.

Perhaps Zhou Zhi would think that he was making a fuss out of nothing, calling from a distance of hundreds of millions of light years just to ask about such an insignificant matter.

however.

What he worried about did not happen.

Zhou Zhi's breathing became heavier. After listening to what Lu Chihuan said, he quickly spoke and replied in a relaxed voice with a hint of laughter, "It's OK."

He paused.

"It's just that every day when I wake up, there's no one beside me. I'm a little uncomfortable with it."

Lu Chihuan's cheeks flushed.

He deliberately ignored the second half of Zhou Zhi's words, forced his attention to other important points, and then asked hesitantly, "When you say 'okay'... you don't mean that the injury is not serious and you can still move..."

Zhou Zhi chuckled.

He was handling official business in the office at the moment. His bony fingers lightly twisted the documents in front of him a few times. His sharp and cold eyes were lowered, but he could not read the densely packed small words on the document no matter what.

Although this body is still sitting in the office, the mind has already drifted away to who knows where.

"No."

"I have no injuries."

Although the ribs still hurt a little, this wound was left half a month ago and has almost healed now.

and so.

He wasn't really lying.

"If you don't believe me, you can call your second brother and ask him. The main planet has been basically calm during this period. Your parents and two brothers are also doing well. I checked their medical examination reports some time ago and they are all normal."

"Ah Huai and his men suffered a loss at your hands last time. I'm sure they will be severely punished by that so-called god after they return."

“So I didn’t do anything.”

Zhou Zhi guessed that Lu Chihuan would be concerned about how his parents were doing, so he talked about everything he knew and a few small things that happened on the main planet.

But basically they only report good news and not bad news.

It’s not that Zhou Zhi is unwilling to open his heart to Lu Chihuan.

He had already forcefully stuffed the key to his heart into Lu Chihuan's hand. Lu Chihuan could open it at any time, and it was no problem for him to go in and out. He would not be unhappy at all.

It’s this person named Zhou Zhi.

Although he looks cold-hearted and seems indifferent to everything, once he falls in love with someone, he will let the other person take whatever he wants and take everything from him.

It can be said……

There is no bottom line.

Then again.

The reason why he only reported the good news and not the bad news was simply because... Lu Chihuan was too far away from him now, and it would take a long time to go back and forth. Besides, the other party also had important things to do now and could not spare the time to worry about other things.

therefore.

Even if Zhou Zhi was injured or in trouble, Huanhuan probably wouldn't be able to get back in time. Not only that, he would feel guilty and worried about this matter.

In this case, it’s better not to say anything.

Lu Chihuan listened to Zhou Zhi quite quietly. The other party's voice was very pleasant, and he did not think that what Zhou Zhi said was tedious.

Or maybe it's boring.

On the contrary, Lu Chihuan even felt that his anxious heart had calmed down, as if someone was singing a lullaby in his ears.

Listen to each other's words.

Instead, he found it very interesting and hoped that the other party would say a few more words.

However, his silence seemed to give Zhou Zhi the wrong signal, so that Zhou Zhi misunderstood that he still did not believe in himself.

So Zhou Zhi gently twisted the thick pages of the book with his hands, and coaxed in a low voice, half helpless and half doting, "I won't lie to you."

"trust me."

He didn't seem to realize that he was trying to coax someone, as if he was reacting subconsciously based on intuition alone. His deep voice no longer sounded as cold as usual.

If you listen carefully, it seems to have a subtle lingering feeling.

The adjutant who was sorting documents nearby shuddered subconsciously after hearing the voice. He secretly raised his eyelids to look at Zhou Zhi, and sure enough, he saw a very faint smile on the other's face.

Ever since the Emperor's fiancé left the palace for some unknown reason some time ago, His Majesty has been obviously a little absent-minded.

On weekdays, he seemed to still maintain a busy work schedule, handling official duties, inspecting warships, visiting relatives, etc., and he hardly missed any of them. His daily life was also packed, and it seemed that there was no difference from before.

However, the adjutant found several times that His Majesty the Emperor was sitting in his office chair, staring at a small pot of cactus on the table, as if he was thinking about something.

This situation is very common for other people. After all, who doesn't want to daydream a little while working and touch the fish?

but.

For His Majesty the Emperor, a workaholic, the chance of this happening is even smaller than the chance of an asteroid colliding with the main star.

So the adjutant was certain that the Emperor must be thinking about his fiancé.

This is also human nature.

Although His Majesty the Emperor is the most noble person in the entire empire, he is also a human being. As humans, he has seven emotions and six desires, so he will also miss someone. When he received the call from the other party, he obviously lost his composure for a moment, but still pretended to be calm.

Check it out.

Even though His Majesty the Emperor doesn't say it, he must be very happy in his heart.

"I didn't say I didn't believe you."

Lu Chihuan's ears felt a little itchy.

He reached out and pinched his red earlobe, then changed the subject again, "Did you receive the postcard I sent back?"

"The photo on the postcard is a beautiful Rose Nebula I took. It may not be something rare to you, but the moment I saw it... I really want to share it with you."

It was probably Zhou Zhi's patience that made him let down his guard, so that he opened up and enthusiastically shared with Zhou Zhi what he had seen and heard along the way.

Of course, he also didn't mention that he had taken risks in the insect nest and got injured.

In front of Zhou Zhi.

He was trying to appear stronger.

After all, Zhou Zhi taught him how to protect himself with almost no reservations, so he didn't want to disappoint Zhou Zhi's expectations, nor did he want to see the other party's worried eyes.

"I am now in the base of the Ghost Star Pirates. It won't be long before I can get the second energy-containing item. I have recognized my brother, Lu Minghe."

Lu Chihuan talked about almost everything that came to his mind. Apart from his own injury and matters related to the insect nest, he hid nothing.

"What are your plans for the future?"

"I will probably stay in the Ghost Pirates for ten days or half a month. After all, I arrived at a strange time. My brother left the Ghost Pirates to go on a mission. We just met not long ago, so I have to find time to accompany him."

"After I leave the Phantom Pirates, I will probably go to the Mechanical City."

I don’t know if he heard what Zhou Zhi said, but Lu Chihuan rolled gently on the bed. His dark eyes were bright and gentle, and his black hair was a little messy. “Don’t worry.”

"I have a friend there."

"It will help me find another powerful item, so I shouldn't encounter any danger along the way..."

The two would often chat when they were in the palace. Of course, Lu Chihuan was the one talking most of the time. He was an extrovert and would talk about everything. He could talk for half an hour without even feeling thirsty.

Zhou Zhi talks less.

But he listened to Lu Chihuan very seriously, and did not give perfunctory answers. People could tell that he listened carefully.

Now they are separated by such a great distance.

This random chat actually made the atmosphere more relaxed and casual.

The topic also jumped from the experiences during this period to meaningless topics such as how often the cactus should be watered and whether the stone in the garden rockery looks like a cat or a dog.

Several hours passed by unknowingly. It was not until Lu Chihuan's stomach growled twice that he realized he had been talking to Zhou Zhi for a long time.

He held the slightly hot communicator in one hand, his long and thick eyelashes trembled a few times, and after a moment he coughed lightly, not feeling very comfortable, "I'm a little hungry...how about..."

"Let's talk next time?"

Zhou Zhi did not refuse.

He replied softly, "OK," but was reluctant to hang up the phone.

Lu Chihuan couldn't figure out what Zhou Zhi meant, but he didn't plan to keep clinging to him. Just when he was about to hang up the phone, Zhou Zhi's voice rang out again:

"and many more."

"There's something I feel like I should tell you... Actually, I was very happy when you called me today."

“I hope to continue to work hard in the future.”

Lu Chihuan felt a little embarrassed when he heard the first half of the sentence, but when he heard the second half, he was speechless.

What does it mean to keep up the good work?

Does Zhou Zhi really think of himself as a soldier under his command?

He was speechless for a moment.

But he still dragged out his last words and promised Zhou Zhi, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will find time to call you when I have time and signal."

"All right."

Lu Chihuan said nonsense seriously, "If His Majesty the Emperor doesn't believe it, I can still stamp the letter of commitment for you."

Zhou Zhi was amused and laughed.

He was obviously in a good mood, so he replied, "No need to stamp it."

"Leave it for when you come back."

Worried that their call would last longer, Zhou Zhi took a deep breath before saying, "Hurry up and have dinner."

"If there is any problem that cannot be solved, please tell me... Among the major forces in the universe, our empire still has a place, and we can basically have a say in formal occasions."

"As long as you give the order, I can set off with the warship immediately."

Realizing that he was beginning to talk too much again, he pinched his palms.

"All right."

"Hang up the communicator."

If Zhou Zhi were to hang up the communicator himself, he would inevitably feel a little reluctant.

Lu Chihuan felt sad.

But he still had things to do, so after saying goodbye, he closed his eyes and pressed the hang-up button.

The surroundings became quiet again.

The silence was somewhat unbearable for Lu Chihuan. He felt as if someone had thrown him from a city with its perennial spring weather to a snowy land with freezing winds, and he couldn't adapt to the silence at all.

He pinched the bridge of his nose.

After throwing the communicator aside, he took out his food from the storage ring.

After slightly heating.

I ate it slowly.

In the next few days, Lu Chihuan still went to the treatment cabin for treatment every day, and Chen Muzhe, Zhishu, Sora and others came to the ward to see him.

They were worried that Lu Chihuan would be bored.

So basically I would take half an hour to spend with him.

During this period, they also mentioned the drastic measures that Lu Minghe took after returning to the Ghost Pirates, such as torturing Patu and declaring war on the Firebird Pirates.

But Lu Minghe was probably worried that Lu Chihuan would also have to go to the battlefield.

So the news was concealed.

In short.

After Lu Chihuan learned that Lu Minghe had gone to war with the Firebird Pirates.

The battle is basically coming to an end.

The leader of the Firebird Pirates was nowhere to be found, and the Firebird Pirates were completely taken over by the Ghost Pirates, and the area under their jurisdiction was expanded by nearly double.

but.

Although the leader of the Firebird Pirates is dead, the hidden spies he planted have not been completely removed. Lu Minghe has held several meetings with Chi Hu in recent days, thinking about how to remove the hidden spies.

Chi Hu thought for a moment.

I thought of the poster who serialized his undercover experience on a secret forum.

"It's better than..."

And to this.

Lu Chihuan was unaware of this.

He was sulking for a while because Lu Minghe had concealed the fact about the attack on the Firebird Pirates from him, but because he was a carefree person and Lu Minghe had coaxed him several times.

So after a few days, he put the matter behind him.

During this time.

He had been in the medical room receiving food from his relatives and friends. After a few days of eating and drinking, not only had his injuries almost healed, but his weight had also increased significantly.

The doctor saw this.

Finally, they were willing to let him go.
