ARIPOEC Chapter 19

Chapter 19

The mecha hovering in mid-air slowly descended. Just before it touched the ground, Ye Mingyuan jumped out and reached out towards Lin Jun.

An incredibly gentlemanly gesture.

Under the public gaze, Lin Jun’s ears flushed a suspicious red.

He didn’t take the hand. Instead, he waited steadily for the mecha to come to a complete stop before stepping down.

Left hanging, Ye Mingyuan didn’t seem angry. He simply rotated his outstretched hand slightly and naturally placed it on Lin Jun’s shoulder.

Lin Jun: “…”

Strictly speaking, this action was very normal, very much like good buddies.

But Lin Jun felt extremely uncomfortable. After all, this bastard had just taken advantage of him and stolen a kiss!

The students who had gone to check on Ye Wenming’s condition had also returned to the base of the mecha. Ye Wenming was lying on the open ground not far away.

Just lying there alone, completely unattended, as if he were a corpse.

Lin Jun was slightly startled, “Ye Wenming isn’t dead, is he!”

Although he didn’t like the guy, Ye Wenming couldn’t die now.

They had been putting on this act for so long precisely so that Ye Mingyuan could successfully infiltrate the Ye family and further obtain evidence of the Ye family’s treason.

If Ye Wenming died now, that line would be cut off.

Ye Mingyuan reassuringly patted Lin Jun’s shoulder: “Don’t worry, I know how to control my strength.”

The other students nearby naturally understood and chimed in.

“Right, right, right, Ye Wenming isn’t dead.”

“We already checked, he’s just unconscious.”

“He might have some internal injuries, but his life is definitely not in danger.”

“…” Lin Jun breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, “That’s good.”

All the tasks had been completed. While Ye Mingyuan and Lin Jun were up above negotiating with Ye Wenming, the other members of the group had gone to the cave to retrieve the last mission item.

On everyone’s mission terminal, it showed that the mission had been completed.

“Can we go back now?”

Ye Mingyuan nodded, put his arm around Lin Jun and turned around, taking the lead: “Let’s go.”

The purpose of this trip had been achieved, and there was no need for them to stay here any longer.

When they returned to the academy’s base on the planet, they found it bustling with activity. Even the square at the entrance was full of people, and they could see doctors and nurses in white coats constantly busy.

After asking around, they realized it was because of the previous beast riot.

The beast riot had come suddenly, and although each group had been assigned elites, many people were still injured. Fortunately, there were no reports of deaths so far.

Seeing this situation, it was estimated that they would not be able to leave the planet for a while, and these uninjured students were temporarily placed in rooms at the base.

Ye Mingyuan and Lin Jun, as partners, were naturally assigned to the same room.

The conditions in the base’s rooms were not great, but they were much better than the dusty wilderness. After entering the room, the two of them took turns taking hot showers before settling down.

Since it was a wilderness practice, neither of them had brought pajamas, so they had to wear their undershirts.

The thin undershirts clung to their bodies, outlining their figures perfectly.

Ye Mingyuan noticed Lin Jun’s slightly bulging abdomen almost immediately.

“…” Lin Jun noticed Ye Mingyuan’s gaze. He quickly scrambled onto the bed and pulled the blanket over himself to shield his body: “What are you looking at!”

Ye Mingyuan: “It’s already this big.”

Since his abdomen had been growing day by day, Lin Jun had bought a bunch of loose clothes. He would put on these super loose clothes, and no one could tell if his stomach was bulging.

Ye Mingyuan hadn’t noticed it all along.

“?!” Lin Jun protected his stomach: “Wait a few more months, and when it’s put in the incubation chamber, I’ll still have abs.”

“…” Ye Mingyuan never expected that he was still thinking about his abs at this point.

Ye Mingyuan: “It’s already been five months.”

Lin Jun: “?”

Ye Mingyuan took out a book from his storage ring and placed it on his lap with a serious expression: “We can start prenatal education.”

Lin Jun: What the…?!

What era is this? Who still believes in prenatal education?!

Someone come and take him away!

To Lin Jun’s surprise, Ye Mingyuan seriously flipped through the prenatal education book.

First page: Let your child truly win at the starting line.

Second page: Beautiful light music can allow children to accept musical Influenceearlier.

Before the book could be turned to the third page, Lin Jun grabbed it and threw it into his space ring.

Ye Mingyuan paused for a moment.

Lin Jun: “Don’t read that, it’s been debunked a long time ago! Prenatal education is useless.”

Ye Mingyuan didn’t say anything.

Lin Jun thought he had successfully persuaded a misled youth.

Ye Mingyuan opened his personal terminal and searched for the world’s famous songs passed down from ancient Earth.

Beautiful pure music flowed out, and Lin Jun felt ashamed: “Turn it off!”

Ye Mingyuan: “I won’t.”

“Turn it off!”

“No.”

Lin Jun pounced on him, trying to snatch the personal terminal from Ye Mingyuan’s wrist.

The two of them tumbled into a heap on the bed.

Ye Mingyuan was mindful of Lin Jun’s abdomen and didn’t want to fight him too much. He was quickly pinned down by Lin Jun, who forcibly turned off the pure music.

Lin Jun was a little out of breath. He looked down at Ye Mingyuan and raised his chin, lecturing him: “These are all superstitions, you know? We have to believe in science.”

“Mm.” Ye Mingyuan nodded in agreement.

“Then the book says that pregnant people need to maintain a good mood and get plenty of rest. That’s not superstition, is it?”

“…” Lin Jun was stunned for a moment: “Of course that’s true.”

Ye Mingyuan nodded.

He reached out and tugged at Lin Jun’s wrist.

Caught off guard, Lin Jun fell directly into Ye Mingyuan’s arms.

Before Lin Jun could struggle, Ye Mingyuan reached out and wrapped his arms around him: “Sleep.”

A low, magnetic voice sounded in his ear, and the warm, solid chest beside him inexplicably made him feel safe.

The light in the room also dimmed.

After running around in the wild environment for several days, his body was already exhausted. Lin Jun fell asleep groggily just a few seconds after lying down.

The person in his arms was breathing evenly, sleeping soundly with his eyes closed.

Ye Mingyuan lowered his head and kissed him on the cheek, then got out of bed.

Ye Mingyuan walked to the balcony. From this direction, he could still see the medical staff working busily in the square.

A moment later, there were rustling sounds in the woods next to the balcony. A boy wearing the academy uniform grabbed onto a nearby tree and climbed onto the balcony.

Ye Mingyuan wasn’t surprised by his arrival: “How’s the situation?”

Si Zhuo brushed off the leaves clinging to his body: “The person has been caught. Xiao Han is watching him. Do you want to interrogate him?”

“No need.” Ye Mingyuan wasn’t interested in the Ye family’s lackeys at all. Anyone who could be ordered around by Ye Wenming probably didn’t have anything worth digging up.

He flicked his fingers slightly and sent a message to Si Zhuo.

“An inside line of the Ye family, but probably just an outer line.” Ye Mingyuan frowned slightly: “Find a way to break it. If you can catch a line connected to the Second Prince, you might be able to get the most direct evidence.”

“Okay.” Si Zhuo nodded.

Knowing that Ye Mingyuan had finished giving his instructions, Si Zhuo was a little reluctant to leave. He rolled his eyes a couple of times and moved closer to Ye Mingyuan.

“Boss, when are you going to let us see your sister-in-law?”

“…” Ye Mingyuan shot him a glare.

Si Zhuo shrank his neck and quickly climbed over the balcony, disappearing in a moment.

Lin Jun slept very well. When he woke up, it was already dark, and he was the only one in bed.

Lin Jun sat up groggily. Just then, the door to the room was pushed open, and Ye Mingyuan walked in carrying a tray.

“Awake? I got some food, eat something.”

Ye Mingyuan sat down with the tray.

Lin Jun just glanced at it and lost his appetite.

After all, they were on a desolate planet, and the academy had so many students. It was unlikely that the food would be very delicious.

Ye Mingyuan was clearly prepared. He gently touched his space ring.

A plate of fragrant roasted meat appeared on the table.

After that, several dishes appeared on the table one after another, almost filling the entire table.

Lin Jun stared dumbfounded at the feast that looked like a state banquet: “Where did you get this?!”

Ye Mingyuan retracted his space ring: “They specially made it for you to please you.”

“They?” Lin Jun was stunned.

Ye Mingyuan: “You should know them, Si Zhuo…”

As soon as the name was mentioned, Lin Jun’s eyes flickered slightly.

He did know him. Si Zhuo was the adjutant who had always been by Ye Mingyuan’s side in his previous life.

“He’s your man?”

Lin Jun had always thought that he was a spy that the Ye family had planted next to Ye Mingyuan. According to their information, although Si Zhuo was Ye Mingyuan’s adjutant, their relationship was not good.

“Mm.” Ye Mingyuan nodded: “It was an act for others to see before.”

Lin Jun nodded knowingly.

He had always suspected that Ye Mingyuan should have a group of his own confidants, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to pry so much information out of the Ye family and still be able to escape unscathed after defecting.

“Some of them are my grandfather’s disciples, and some were rescued by me on the border star before.”

Lin Jun nodded.

The food on the table exuded an alluring aroma, and Lin Jun was also tempted, he picked up his chopsticks and couldn’t wait to take a bite.

The rich sauce exploded on his tongue, and Lin Jun squinted his eyes happily.

Before he could take a second bite, he heard Ye Mingyuan say leisurely in his ear: “After a while, I’ll introduce them to you.”

Lin Jun’s cheeks were bulging, and he turned his head blankly: “?”

Ye Mingyuan: “They’ve always wanted to meet you.”

“?” Lin Jun’s brain was a little disconnected.

This… this means he’s going to meet friends and family?!

Ye Mingyuan saw the hesitation in Lin Jun’s eyes, and he sighed softly: “Forget it, let’s wait until we’ve solved the problem before we meet.”

“…” Lin Jun suddenly felt a little unbearable: “Meeting them is… nothing.”

Ye Mingyuan was stunned.

Just as Lin Jun finished speaking, the door on the balcony slammed open with a “bang.”

Lin Jun: “…”

Half a minute later, a few people came in with their heads lowered.

Some of them were wearing the academy’s uniform, some were wearing white coats, and some were wearing chef’s uniforms…

–It seemed that this group of people had perfectly blended into the academy’s team.

Before Lin Jun could react, the young man in the lead had already spoken up: “Sister-in-law! We didn’t eavesdrop, we just passed by, just passed by.”

Lin Jun: “…”

“How can you pass by on the balcony!” The girl in the white coat slapped him on the head.

She straightened her clothes and began to shirk responsibility righteously: “Li Li prepared tonight’s meal, he wanted to see if you liked it, so we came to peek.”

The big guy standing at the back was unhappy: “I… I’m not… It’s clearly you… who suggested going there first.”

Lin Jun turned his head and glared at Ye Mingyuan with a dark face: “You knew all along!”

With three such big people standing outside the door, it was impossible for Ye Mingyuan not to notice them, with his alertness.

Ye Mingyuan was silent for three seconds, wavering between lying and being honest for a while, and finally nodded.

“I also think we can meet.”

Before Lin Jun could open his mouth to refute, he continued: “You agreed too.”

Lin Jun: “…” He did agree! But he didn’t say it was now!
