Chapter 6: Morning Exercise

    In the Inspector Team’s office, a long table was placed, with several uniformed individuals seated at one end, scrutinizing the man across from them.

    “Why did you use a combat mech in the living area?”

    “Road blockage; I was in a hurry.”

    “Didn’t you know that combat mechs are prohibited in the living area?”

    “I knew, but it was urgent and unavoidable.”

    “…” The leader of the Inspector Team’s expression visibly soured. Usually, those summoned to the Inspector Team were terrified, fearing a mark on their record or expulsion.

    Yet, Ye Mingyuan’s face showed no fear, remaining calm as if merely answering a question in class.

    “Where did you get your combat mech? Why didn’t you register it with the school?”

    Ye Mingyuan’s pupils contracted slightly.

    Noticing his change in demeanor, the Inspector Team leader’s voice turned stern, “The academy regulations clearly state that private combat mechs must be registered with the school and equipped with protection and alarm software. Why didn’t you register it?”

    Ye Mingyuan’s eyes darkened, and his voice turned cold, “It’s a relic from my deceased relative.”

    The people across from him were visibly taken aback.

    Ye Mingyuan continued coldly, “My use of the mech didn’t exceed three minutes, and I didn’t injure anyone or cause any disturbance. The school regulations explicitly state that, theoretically, I have no obligation to sit here and be questioned.”

    He stood up, “May I leave now?”

    “…” The members of the Inspector Team exchanged glances. The leader’s face was dark, clearly reluctant.

    “Your situation is relatively minor; writing a self criticism will suffice,” A male student nearby quickly mediated, seeing the situation, “However, your mech must be registered with the Inspector Team.”

    Ye Mingyuan glanced down at the Personal Terminal on his wrist, then coldly looked up at him, “Then please lead the way. I’m in a hurry.”

    The male student turned to look at the Inspector Team leader, and, seeing that he didn’t object, said, “Come with me.”

    Soon, the two arrived at a large open space. The male student retrieved mech scanning equipment from a cabinet and turned to look at Ye Mingyuan, “Release your mech.”

    A flash of azure light appeared, and a mech nearly two stories tall materialized in the room.

    Although he had seen the mech in videos, the male student gasped when it appeared before him.

    The mech’s outer coating shimmered, obviously worth a fortune.

    Seeing that he hadn’t moved after a long time, Ye Mingyuan reminded him, “Please register it.”

    The male student finally reacted. He took the scanner and scanned the barcode at the mech’s rear, the machine “beeped,” and the mech’s model and production location appeared on the screen.

    “Crimson G280…” The male student’s eyes widened, “This is a mech made by Crimson?!”

    Crimson was a famous mech master in the empire, but he had retired more than ten years ago, stopped making mechs, and moved away from Capital Star to a remote planet to retire.

    The existing Crimson mechs on the market had already been driven to astronomical prices.

    Ye Mingyuan didn’t answer his question. Seeing that the machine had finished scanning, he attached the Space Button to the mech, and the enormous mech instantly disappeared.

    It wasn’t until Ye Mingyuan had walked quite a distance that the male student reacted, “Hey! Wait! You haven’t written your self criticism yet!”

    Ye Mingyuan didn’t stop walking, and soon disappeared from view. The male student turned back to find a piece of paper on the desk, with strong, powerful handwriting that only contained a short sentence.

    I used a combat mech in the living area. I have seriously reflected on my actions and will not do it again.

    The male student: “…” This is too perfunctory.

    He picked up the paper and looked back, but Ye Mingyuan was nowhere to be seen.

    By the time Ye Mingyuan walked out of the Inspector Team’s office, it was completely dark. The school’s public flying vehicles were still dutifully operating.

    There weren’t many people on the flying vehicle at night. Ye Mingyuan stood by the window, looking down at the lights outside.

    He opened the Personal Terminal on his wrist and sent a message.

    “The plan has been initiated.”

    When Ye Mingyuan entered the room, it was dimly lit. The system detected that someone inside was sleeping, and only turned on the small light in the entrance hall.

    There were two beds side by side in the room. The quilt on the bed closer to the inside was slightly raised. From this angle, only a fluffy head could be seen.

    Lin Jun was sleeping soundly, a small part of his face exposed. The dim yellow light shone on his face, and his thick eyelashes cast a small shadow on his eyelids, making him appear gentle and well-behaved.

    Ye Mingyuan sat by the bed for a long time. He extended a finger and tentatively touched Lin Jun’s cheek.

    The dense black eyelashes trembled slightly, but the sleeping person didn’t wake up.

    Ye Mingyuan traced Lin Jun’s features with his eyes, inch by inch. After a long time, he leaned down and gently kissed Lin Jun’s forehead.

    “It doesn’t matter, even if you don’t remember me, I will make you fall in love with me again.”

    The voice was low and gentle, like a sigh.

    The person in his sleep had no idea what was happening. He turned over, leaving Ye Mingyuan with only the back of his head.

    Lin Jun was having a nightmare when he was woken up by the alarm clock.

    Perhaps it was because Ye Mingyuan had left too deep of a psychological shadow on him during the day, but he spent the entire night fighting wits and courage with Ye Mingyuan in his dreams.

    Lin Jun was cornered by Ye Mingyuan in the school’s training room, and the two seemed to have made some kind of bet.

    If Lin Jun won, Ye Mingyuan would let him leave;

    But if Ye Mingyuan won, Lin Jun would have to kiss him.

    Lin Jun fought all night in his dream, kissing Ye Mingyuan countless times.

    But just when he barely managed to win, the other person still stopped him from leaving, “You won, so now it’s my turn to kiss you.”

    His azure eyes held a cunning light, and warm breath brushed against his ear. Lin Jun finally couldn’t bear it any longer, “Damn it! Are you ever going to stop!”

    As soon as he finished speaking, there was a muffled “thud” in the room, and Ye Mingyuan was kicked off the bed.

    Lin Jun groggily sat up from the bed. When he opened his eyes, he saw Ye Mingyuan sitting on the floor beside the bed, looking at him.

    The person who shouldn’t have been in the room was suddenly in front of him, and Lin Jun was stunned.

    The dream from last night had left him with a psychological shadow. He couldn’t help but hug the quilt and back away, looking at Ye Mingyuan warily, “Why are you on my bed?!”

    Shouldn’t this person be locked up in the Inspector Team’s office?! How did he get released so early?

    Ye Mingyuan got up from the floor, lying without blushing or skipping a beat, “This is my bed.”

    Lin Jun was momentarily fooled by him, and couldn’t help but wonder if his memories from his previous life were wrong.

    Before he could figure it out, Ye Mingyuan had already interrupted his train of thought, “Get up, you’ll be late.”

    Lin Jun was stunned. He looked down at the time, and the little sleepiness he had just had instantly disappeared.

    He almost forgot that the combat department students at the military academy had morning exercises, and the instructor in charge of the morning exercises…

    Lin Jun shuddered. Even after leaving the academy for so long, he still had a psychological shadow from that teacher.

    Images of all kinds of miserable scenes involuntarily appeared in Lin Jun’s mind. He jumped out of bed and rushed into the bathroom.

    The bathroom door slammed shut in front of him, and a subtle smile appeared on Ye Mingyuan’s lips.

    A semi-transparent light screen popped up in front of him. Ye Mingyuan edited a message and sent yesterday’s ultrasound image along with it.

    After a flurry of hurried packing and tidying up, Lin Jun barely made it to the training ground on time.

    He hadn’t been back for long, and didn’t know where a lot of things were. In the end, Ye Mingyuan lent a hand, and he managed to find his clean training uniform at the bottom of the cabinet.

    “Report!” Lin Jun stood up straight, the two words hitting the ground crisply.

    The instructor turned his head and glanced at them, casually ordering, “Join the ranks.”

    “Yes!” Lin Jun tapped his heels on the ground and turned to jog to join the ranks.

    But the instructor suddenly stopped him, “Lin Jun, you can rest on the side.”

    Lin Jun’s steps to join the team suddenly stopped. He was stunned, and turned back in confusion.

    But the instructor didn’t explain. He waved at Lin Jun, signaling him to stand to the side, “Everyone! Ten kilometers light training, Route A, begin!”

    Lin Jun retreated to the side, bewildered. The people in the ranks moved at the sound, picking up their prepared backpacks from the ground and turning to run out of the training ground.

    When Meng Yi passed by Lin Jun, he gave him an envious look.

    After the last student ran out with his backpack, the instructor took out a small ground flying vehicle from the Space Button. He waved at Lin Jun, “Get on.”

    The flying vehicle flew close to the ground, and soon caught up with the running group.

    Lin Jun sat in the flying vehicle, watching the students running. Even among a group of people wearing the same training uniform, Ye Mingyuan was particularly conspicuous.

    He had broad shoulders and long legs, and was a natural clothes hanger. The black belt of the training uniform was tied around his waist, making his back look especially outstanding.

    They had only run one kilometer, and everyone’s expressions were still relaxed. But when they saw Lin Jun sitting in the flying vehicle, some people immediately became envious, “Ah! Why doesn’t Lin Jun have to run! That’s so great.”

    Before he could finish yelling, a hand knocked him on the head. Meng Yi was helping Lin Jun, “What are you yelling about? Lin Jun is carrying a baby, if you don’t want to do morning exercises, go get pregnant yourself?”

    “…” Lin Jun turned to look at the instructor beside him.

    The instructor was wearing a wide-brimmed black hat. He leaned against the window, shouting at the students to run faster.

    As if sensing Lin Jun’s gaze, he didn’t turn his head, but lowered his voice, “The morning exercises are high-intensity. You’re not suitable for high-intensity training right now. You don’t have to come in the mornings anymore.”

    Although he had already thought of this possibility, Lin Jun’s face involuntarily began to burn when he was told to his face.

    He endured the shame, “How… did you know?”

    The instructor was stunned, and turned to look at him, “Ye Mingyuan asked for leave for you this morning, didn’t you know?”

    “…” Hearing the expected name, Lin Jun couldn’t help but grit his teeth.

    The author has something to say:

    Ye’s Evil spirit is all black inside. Lin Jun’s skills are too shallow.
