ARIPOEC Chapter 10

“I’ll prescribe some Vitamin B6 for you.”

The doctor, after listening to Lin Jun’s description, remained very calm: “But you can’t take this often, it can become habit-forming.”

Lin Jun clutched the medication container, at a loss: “Isn’t there… any way to alleviate it?”

He had thrown up so much that morning, his throat still felt burning with pain.

If he threw up a few more times like that, before the baby was even born, he’d become mute first.

“This is all normal, your symptoms aren’t too severe. Some people vomit so much they can’t eat anything at all, and can only survive on glucose drips.”

Lin Jun felt his worldview being overturned once again.

Oh my god! How did he not know that pregnancy was actually this miserable?

Was it too late to regret it now?

Ye Mingyuan returned to the dormitory after class, and the first thing he saw was Lin Jun, like a salted fish, sprawled out on the bed, playing dead.

“Ye Mingyuan, I’m going to become mute.”

Ye Mingyuan’s eyebrows twitched slightly. He placed the food he brought back on the table and patted Lin Jun’s back: “Don’t talk nonsense.”

Lin Jun turned over and sat up from the bed. He shuffled to the table, and just as he picked up his chopsticks to eat, he heard someone knocking on the door.

“Senior, I’m Ye Wenming. The teacher said I’m in the same group as you for the practical course…”

Lin Jun was eating with half a mind.

Ye Wenming?! Why was this guy here?

In his past life, although Lin Jun had been rivals with Ye Mingyuan for many years, the person he hated the most was Ye Wenming.

Ye Wenming was also Marshal Ye’s illegitimate son, but he had been brought to the Ye family to be raised from a young age. He had been in poor health since childhood and had no particular talent, but this person was particularly vicious.

In his past life, he was also the one who took the lead in having the Ye family ally with the Zerg, betraying many of the empire’s military secrets.

If Ye Mingyuan was just the Ye family’s sharpest knife in his past life, then Ye Wenming was the brain hidden behind that knife, manipulating it to oppose Lin Jun for over a decade.

Lin Jun’s fingertips began to turn white from the force he was using. With a crisp snap, the wooden chopsticks broke in his hand.

The sharp splinters of the chopsticks pierced into his fingertips, and blood quickly flowed out.

The two people at the door were also attracted by the noise inside.

Ye Mingyuan frowned slightly, and without thinking, he turned to get the medical kit: “How can you be so careless?”

Soft cotton swabbed away the blood droplets between his fingers, and a small bandage covered the wound.

A slight pain came from his fingertips. Ye Mingyuan’s eyes were lowered, carefully putting a bandage on him.

Lin Jun didn’t care about this small injury; he had suffered much worse injuries than this before.

He turned his head to look at the door, his eyes meeting Ye Wenming’s.

Ye Wenming wasn’t tall, and he wore rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose. He was thin and small, and looked like a pathetic figure that anyone could bully.

But Lin Jun knew how terrifying a soul was hidden in this seemingly harmless body.

Ye Wenming’s eyes also twitched slightly.

Lin Jun had been on leave for almost a week. He had hardly left the dormitory during this week, and everyone thought he had already left the school.

Ye Wenming didn’t expect Lin Jun to still be here.

“Since Senior is not feeling well, I’ll go first. I’ll ask for advice tomorrow.”

Ye Mingyuan didn’t look up.

Ye Wenming gave an awkward smile and turned to leave.

Just then, Lin Jun suddenly spoke: “Take me with you for this practical course.”

Although he said this to Ye Mingyuan, he was looking at Ye Wenming.

Ye Wenming quickly retracted the foot he had just stepped out.

Ye Mingyuan was slightly stunned. He raised his head, saw Lin Jun’s expression, and quickly understood: “Okay.”

Before Ye Mingyuan finished speaking, Ye Wenming couldn’t wait to open his mouth: “That’s not in accordance with the rules, is it?”

In order to prevent students from forming cliques and small groups, the academy has always strictly prohibited the unauthorized changing of practical course groups.

Ye Mingyuan: “Lin Jun is not in another group.”

So adding Lin Jun would not be a violation of the rules.

Ye Wenming was still not reconciled: “But isn’t Senior Lin Jun feeling unwell recently? The practical course is intense, it’s better not to risk it.”

Thanks to Ye Wenxing’s explosive news and Ye Mingyuan’s perfect “public relations” methods, there are still very few people in the entire school who know that Lin Jun is pregnant.

Most people thought Lin Jun was on leave because he was sick.

Ye Mingyuan pursed his lips and said nothing.

After all, the Empire Military Academy is cultivating border defense talents for the country, so they have established many practical courses. Some are small group confrontations, some are explorations of unfamiliar planets, and some are defense and attack layouts…

Although the school has taken many protective measures, practical courses still have certain risks.

Last time, Lin Jun was slightly injured because he accidentally triggered the difficult mode.

Ye Mingyuan hesitated a bit.

Lin Jun smiled: “You don’t need to worry about that.”

Ye Wenming choked. He looked at Lin Jun, and his eyes couldn’t help but reveal a bit of resentment.

He was still just a teenager, and Ye Wenming was not yet as deeply scheming as he would later become.

Ye Wenming turned to leave, and the system received the command, slowly closing the door.

Ye Mingyuan: “Are you really going?”

Lin Jun raised an eyebrow: “Can’t I?”

“…” Ye Mingyuan: “Your body is not suitable for high-intensity exercise right now.”

“Tch.” Lin Jun scoffed dismissively. He leaned down, looking directly into Ye Mingyuan’s eyes: “Even Ye Wenming with his broken body can go, but I can’t?”

Lin Jun’s dark eyes were sparkling with light, and Ye Mingyuan was speechless for a moment.

“Or are you saying that you think a mere practical course can do anything to me?”

Even if he, Lin Jun, was no good, he was someone who had crawled and rolled around on the battlefield. How could he be afraid of a mere practical course?

Ye Mingyuan’s heart stirred slightly.

Forget it. At worst, he could assign Lin Jun to the logistics support aspect and not let him participate in any direct conflict.

Early the next morning, Ye Mingyuan had just gotten up to prepare to participate in morning training when he saw Lin Jun already dressed neatly, waiting at the dormitory door.

“?” Ye Mingyuan slowly typed out a question mark.

Lin Jun smiled and said, “I’ll accompany you to morning training.”

Under Ye Mingyuan’s questioning gaze, Lin Jun followed Ye Mingyuan all the way to the training field.

The instructor was also very surprised to see him: “Didn’t they say you didn’t have to come anymore?”

Lin Jun waved his hand and obediently sat on a chair next to him: “I don’t feel at ease staying in the dormitory all the time, so I’ll just stay here and do morning training with everyone.”

“…”

The expressions of the entire command department class instantly changed.

Who are you trying to fool!

Don’t think we don’t know you’re here to accompany Ye Mingyuan for morning training!

Lin Jun didn’t care what others thought. He sat quietly on the bench at the training ground the entire time, watching quietly.

It’s not his fault for being overly sensitive; it’s just that the timing of Ye Wenming’s appearance was too coincidental.

Ye Wenming was in poor health and was studying logistics support in the Empire, so he should often participate in practical course team-ups.

But this person had never been assigned to Ye Mingyuan’s group in the past two years.

Now that something had happened to Ye Wenxing, Ye Wenming immediately clung to Ye Mingyuan’s side.

Lin Jun wouldn’t believe it if Ye Wenming didn’t have some kind of purpose.
