The boss of the last days is a salted fish in the interstellar world

Chapter 185 [185]

In the previous week, Shi Yan had been training for the celebration day competition, and she and Shi Jin had hardly seen each other.

Once a girl gets serious, she always turns a deaf ear to what's going on outside the window. Shi Jin understands her character and never bothers her, letting Shi Yan concentrate on the competition.

Shi Jiu is currently quite well-known in the military, and many seniors are very optimistic about this rising star. Although the young man's ranking in Victoria is behind Xie Yinci, this does not affect others' attention to him.

Coupled with Shi's father's intention to pave the way for Shi Ji and the dead General Zhong Tian's status in the hearts of many soldiers, at least the old military officers who had received favors from the Shi family and some people who admired Zhong Tian were willing to use their connections to help him. Give it a try or two.

The celebration day of the last academic year is not a simple celebration of competition. The military bosses, high-ranking political officials, and business tycoons who control the empire's economy are all here.Judging from their attention to this event, the competition must be just an excuse. What is more important to them is to use this opportunity to gather together, form cliques, and select those in the academy who they think have potential or qualifications. People who create benefits for themselves.

Shi Yan is only in the fourth grade, but because of her outstanding performance today, many people have already extended an olive branch to her.

Among them are some business tycoons who can help the Shi family financially.

However, the girl still had a cold temperament and refused without thinking.

Probably due to the influence of her uncle Zhong Tian, ​​she wanted to occupy a high position in the military department to enhance the Shi family's voice in the political arena.

After all, the Interstellar Empire prides itself on expeditions, and its military status is naturally one level higher than its political and economic status.

Shi Yan has a game tomorrow, but Shi Jin just experienced a incident that almost killed her in the afternoon. Even if she chooses to stay in school to train all night, she will probably keep thinking about it in her mind, so she might as well go back to Shi Jin. , after confirming that nothing happened to my sister, I felt more at ease.

Cousin Shi Ye was waiting in the car. This young man who used to come up to her with eyes shining when he saw her seemed a little stunned when he saw her boarding the spacecraft today.

Returning to the Shi family mansion, Shi's father and Shi's mother were also in the hall, which was rare.

Seeing the three people coming back, Shi's mother immediately got up and walked over. The woman's face with lines at the corners of her eyes showed a rare look of anxiety towards Shi Jin, but also seemed to be full of hope and joy, and asked: "Xiao Jin..." Are the rumors currently circulating true?"

Shi Jin: "...What is true or false?"

"What happened to your mental strength! Why didn't you tell your family about such a big thing?" The woman approached her and seemed to want to touch her daughter's face intimately.

But just as she came closer, Shi Jin suddenly felt physically uncomfortable. He frowned and avoided her hand: "It's true, but don't get so close. The smell of perfume on you is too strong."

Very straightforward and disgusting words.

She quite liked Shi Ye and Shi Yan, the two cheap younger siblings, Shi Jin, but when it came to the sudden addition of "parents", she accepted her incompetence. With the comparison between her original parents, she disliked seeing these two people even more.

Shi's mother's expression froze due to Shi Jin's evasive movements and words. The outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, but Shi Yan took it and gave the woman a step down, "Good evening, mother."

She said softly, but her words were too polite, and seemed a little distant even when facing her biological mother.

However, the woman is used to the independence of her second daughter. Compared to the regret of not being close to mother and daughter, she prefers the honor that Shi Yan strives for for the family.

"Xiao Jin!" Shi's mother looked at Shi Jin's back walking towards the elevator. She didn't care about her cold and distant attitude just now. She smiled and said, "Come down and have dinner together later!"

"No, I'm going to sleep."

Shi Jin spoke in a lazy tone and left the living room without looking back.

After she left, Shi's mother looked at Shi Yan again, the smile on her face faded a bit at this moment, and her words were unconsciously reproachful: "Why did Xiao Yan come back today? You should have a competition tomorrow, why not Stay in the academy to train?”

Shi Yan was very accustomed to Shi's mother's attitude and explained calmly: "My sister almost had an accident in the college this afternoon. I will come back to stay with her in the evening."

"Then you don't need to accompany me! Xiaoyan, the most important thing for you now is to train hard and get more people's attention on this celebration day," Shi's mother slowed down her voice and advised earnestly: "The Shi family It has been going downhill in the past few years, and our position is shaky. You and Xiaojin are my mother's hope. I have also been targeted in the political arena over the years, and it is difficult for me to move forward. Only if you carve out a position in the military department, will I have more say. , Xiaoyan, you have to remember. For the Shi family, for mom, dad, and grandpa, you must transcend everything."

Shi Yan had heard these words since she was a child, and women's words were a constant burden placed on her shoulders. She would have felt exhausted before, but fortunately she still had her uncle here.

That man would always pat Shi Yan on the shoulder when she was tired and say it didn't matter, as long as her uncle was still alive, those hardships would not befall them.

He was a man of his word, but he left too soon.

"I understand," Shi Yan said, "I'll go to the Star Network training ground right away. Don't worry, mother."

When the woman heard this, she nodded with satisfaction, looked at her lovingly and said, "I know Xiaoyan will always be so close to my heart. It doesn't matter. Let's go after dinner?"

"No," Shi Yan said calmly and distantly: "You and your father can eat."

She entered the elevator, and just as the elevator returned from the second floor to the first floor, the girl went to the underground training ground. Only Shi Ye remained in the hall.

Seeing that his two sisters had left, the boy wanted to go back to his room, but his second aunt's eyes had already fallen on him.

Shi Ye: "..."

Shi Ye: "Well, then I will also——"

"Xiaoye, can you do my second aunt a favor?"

Shi Ye: "...What are you busy with?"

The woman smiled and said: "You also know that Xiaojin may have been too strict with us over the years, so she has been a little alienated from us, but as parents, how could we not want her to become a dragon or a phoenix in adulthood? Now that her mental strength has recovered, Her mecha dueling skills are so good. You get close to her on weekdays. You advise her to participate in more competitions in the college and try to get a ranking. This year is her last school year. Then, together with Xiao Zhu, you want to Find a way to gain a foothold in the military."

The young man understood what she meant. In the past, he would probably have happily agreed to the woman's request.

But now after hearing these words, Shi Ye suddenly felt sad and sad for Shi Jin.

However, the boy could not get angry with the woman or contradict her verbally.

She is very kind to herself, even a little cautious sometimes.

Shi Ye couldn't refuse her, couldn't respond to her as coldly as Sister Yan and Shi Jin did.

"I...will try my best." The young man said against his will.

"Thank you so much! Xiaoye, there is your favorite dish tonight, come and try it later!"

Shi Ye pursed his lips slightly, "...Okay."

*
At about three o'clock in the morning, the lights in the underground training ground finally went out.

Starnet has had more traffic in the past two days than before. Although the server is unblocked, due to the full number of people, 1V1 sometimes even has to queue up for matching, which leads to too much time spent waiting.Shi Yan left the Star Network and came out of the Scarlet Rabbit mecha.

I started training as soon as I got home and it took about ten hours so far.

Tired both physically and mentally.

Fortunately, the next game is tomorrow afternoon, so the time will not be too tight.

After a brief shower, Shi Yan took the elevator back to the second floor, and happened to see Shi Jin's closed door in the return corridor on the second floor.

The alloy electronic door fits tightly, and the metal door body should be a bit cold in the cool night.

But when her eyes fell on the door, she could always feel a little warmth coming from behind it.

Probably because it reminded her of the people inside.

This room used to belong to her and Shi Jin, but now it's just Shi Jin.

After a moment of silence, the girl finally opened the door gently and looked inside.

The room was dark and quiet, and the sound of even breathing echoed inside.

Shi Yan walked in with light steps.

Shi Jin seemed to be sleeping deeply on the bed, wrapped in a quilt and holding a light brain in his arms. It seemed that he must have been watching dramas before going to bed.

After confirming that her sister was really uninjured, Shi Yan was completely relieved and prepared to go back to her room to rest.

However, as soon as he turned around, Shi Jin's voice suddenly came from behind his ears: "Is it over now?"

Shi Yan was slightly startled and looked back at the person on the bed.

Shi Jin noticed it when there was an extra person at the door.

It's not that she was still alert in her sleep, but because - she didn't sleep at all.

Even before Shi Yan opened the door, she was still using her optical brain to communicate with Lorraine.

The young man was very efficient in his work. He had just asked him to help raise an objection in the afternoon. In the evening, Krovak's specific investigation application was submitted to the Military Tribunal in the form of a formal document, and an extra copy was printed and handed over to Victoria Emergency Management. at.

The application describes many details, including Su Feng's birth, daily personality, and relationship with classmates, to analyze the various irrationality of his attack in public.

With these unreasonable detailed descriptions and the plea of ​​the "victim" Shi Jin, even if there is concrete video evidence of Su Feng's public death, the trial court will not immediately convict him, and the teachers from the Emergency Management Department will again Conduct a secondary investigation into the events that occurred at that time.

The communication with Lorraine lasted until three in the morning, during which there were also greetings from Jiang Yuan. The little girl was very anxious when she heard about what happened in the afternoon. She didn't sleep peacefully until she saw through video communication that Shi Jin was really fine.

Shi Jin originally planned to take a rest.

But as soon as she closed her eyes, someone entered her room.

A familiar scent came, and she knew who it was without opening her eyes.

Probably confirming something, she vaguely heard the other party letting out a slight sigh of relief.

When Shi Yan was about to leave, Shi Jin couldn't help but ask: "Is it over now?"

"..."

Shi Yan's expression was a little surprised, but then he regained his composure and said, "Did I wake you up?"

"No," Shi Jin chuckled, "I'm not asleep yet either."

Shi Yan looked at the light brain she was holding, and her eyes seemed to have a "really so" feeling.

"Good night, I'm going back to rest too," she said.

When Shi Jin saw her turning around to leave, his mind suddenly moved and he moved into the bed. Then he lifted up his quilt and smiled teasingly at Shi Yan: "Xiao Yan, you're already here, why don't you go after some sleep?"

Shi Yan: "..."

She looked at Shi Jin holding his chin with one hand and patting the sheets with the other hand, as if he was waiting for her leisurely. The fatigue from tonight's training suddenly dissipated a lot, and even his indifferent expression became somewhat relaxed.

It's not like the two of them have never slept together before.

Even stayed overnight last week.

So she got on the bed without hesitation and lay down next to Shi Jin.

Two faces with similar eyebrows stood side by side. One was smiling, the other was awkward and pretending to be cold.

"I'll go cheer for you tomorrow afternoon," Shi Jin said.

"...Okay." Shi Yan responded softly.

"I was kidnapped by Xiao Ye morally this morning, so I didn't watch your show. I'm sorry."

"It's okay, I didn't care." Shi Yan said, "How was Shi Ye's match?"

Shi Jin said: "It's not bad, at least we won."

"Among the many people who came this time, Shi Ye seems to be quite interested in Shi Ye. Shi Ye and I still have a year, but Shi Ji must seize this opportunity." Shi Yan said quietly, "The Shi family must We can’t delay getting back to where we were five years ago as soon as possible.”

Shi Jin said: "I understand you, but I really have no interest in these."

"Sister, you don't have to think about this." Shi Yan suddenly turned sideways and looked at her seriously. His slightly sweet breath fell on Shi Jin's ears, making her earlobes itch.

"I said, those heavy things will not fall on your head no matter what."
