ARIPOEC Chapter 9

Chapter 9: Agreement

Lin Jun went to the school administration building early the next morning with his ultrasound report.

“I need to request a leave of absence.”

Lin Jun slammed the materials in his hand onto the desk in the Dean’s office.

“It was discovered yesterday during an examination. The doctor said I need to rest for a period of time.”

The Dean took out the film from the material bag, squinted at it, and widened his eyes in disbelief. “This is…”

“An ultrasound,” Lin Jun said expressionlessly. “I’m pregnant.”

“…” The Dean slammed the table. “Nonsense!”

“The academy doesn’t say we can’t get pregnant,” Lin Jun said shamelessly.

The Dean took a deep breath. “Does your father know about this?!”

Lin Jun: “He will know soon.”

Anyway, Ye Mingyuan had already leaked the news of his pregnancy yesterday. It couldn’t be hidden, and these people would find out sooner or later. He might as well use the convenience of pregnancy to do something.

Lin Jun had already learned the content taught in the Command Department in his previous life. When it came to combat command experience, he was even more experienced than most of the teachers in the academy.

To continue attending school peacefully would be a waste of time.

He needed time to plan his own affairs.

“You’re still in school, why are you in such a hurry to have a child? This is the most precious time of your life…”

Lin Jun pushed the prepared leave application onto the table. “Please sign it for me.”

Dean: “…Even if you can’t take physical education classes, you can still attend theory classes, right?”

Lin Jun said with righteous confidence: “I don’t want to be surrounded by my classmates.”

“…”

Half an hour later, Lin Jun walked out of the academy office with an approved leave of absence.

After Lin Jun repeatedly assured the Dean that he would definitely participate in the final exams, the Dean finally reluctantly granted Lin Jun a half-semester leave of absence. In other words, he didn’t have to go to class for the next six months.

When Lin Jun returned to the dormitory, it was during class time, and there were not many people in the entire dormitory building, which allowed him to avoid the gossiping classmates.

He went all the way back to dormitory 605. The room was empty, and Ye Mingyuan had already gone to class.

Lin Jun turned on his personal terminal and searched for Ye Mingyuan on the Star Network.

He still had too little information, and he had to confirm Ye Mingyuan’s current identity.

The search results were almost all gossip posts on the school forum.

Lin Jun frowned and typed in new keywords: “Ye Mingyuan identity,” “Ye Mingyuan An Hong,” “Ye Mingyuan illegitimate son,” “Ye Mingyuan Ye family”…

After many searches, Lin Jun still gained nothing.

There was almost no personal information about Ye Mingyuan on the Star Network, and no connection between Ye Mingyuan and the Ye family was found.

In other words, Ye Mingyuan had not yet been recognized by the Ye family, and the Ye family probably didn’t know that such an illegitimate son existed.

He remembered that in his previous life, in Star Calendar 586, Ye Wenxing, the eldest son of the Ye family, was seriously injured in an alien patrol when he was attacked by the insectoids and became a vegetable.

Only then did the Ye family search everywhere for Ye Mingyuan, the illegitimate son who had been living outside. Finally, in 587, Ye Sheng brought Ye Mingyuan to the Emperor and personally made Ye Mingyuan the heir to the Ye family.

Although he didn’t know why Ye Mingyuan suddenly appeared in the Imperial Military Academy, at least he didn’t have the label of the Ye family on him now.

Lin Jun didn’t know that his actions were quickly captured by a certain monitoring software.

Ye Mingyuan’s personal terminal, which was currently in class, vibrated slightly, and a file was transmitted to his terminal.

[Lin Jun’s Star Network Search Records]

Lin Jun raised his hand and dialed a communication number he had never dialed before.

“I’m Lin Jun.”

The person on the other side of the communication was respectful. “Young Master, what are your orders?”

Lin Jun breathed a sigh of relief. This number was left to him by General Lin in his previous life.

Lin Yuan was stationed outside all year round, but his family was all on the Capital Star. He also left some trusted aides on the Capital Star to protect the safety of the Lin family at any time.

Lin Jun had never made this communication in his previous life.

Fortunately, this communication number hadn’t changed, which meant that Lin Jun still had some people he could use and wouldn’t be completely in the dark.

“I want you to investigate someone for me.”

After contacting the old subordinates, Lin Jun called his older brother.

A man appeared on the semi-transparent screen. His appearance was seventy percent similar to Lin Jun’s, but his temperament was obviously more calm than Lin Jun’s.

“Xiao Jun?” Ye Ze was wearing a neat training uniform, obviously having just come from the training ground.

“Brother,” Lin Jun’s eyes warmed.

In his previous life, Ye Ze was on the front line at the first moment of the war and died on the battlefield.

How many years had it been since he had called out that word, “Brother?”

“What’s wrong?” Ye Ze heard the sobbing in his voice and panicked. His younger brother was fearless and had never seen him like this since he was a child.

Lin Jun held back the wetness in his eyes. “Brother, I need you to do me a favor.”

“Tell me.”

“I suspect there’s a problem with the Ye family. You have a wide network of contacts in the military. Pay more attention to the Ye family’s movements in the Third Star Region.”

Ye Ze: “You’re worried about the Ye family?”

“Yes.” It was inconvenient for Lin Jun to say too much, so he made up a random reason. “I recently heard some rumors at school and I’m a little suspicious. Don’t tell Dad about this.”

Ye Ze nodded. “Okay, I understand. I have a colleague who was just transferred to the Third Star Region last year. I’ll have him help inquire.”

“Okay,” Lin Jun nodded.

Eight years later, the Ye family directly declared independence in the Third Star Region and later formed an alliance with the insectoids, providing the insectoids with a lot of imperial intelligence.

Such a big move couldn’t have been a whim, it must have been carefully prepared.

In his previous life, Lin Jun had even suspected that Ye Wenxing’s serious injury had some inside story.

Ye Ze and Ye Wenxing were once schoolmates, and his brother had praised Ye Wenxing at home for being upright.

Lin Jun trusted Ye Ze’s judgment. In his previous life, he didn’t believe that Ye Wenxing had participated in the Ye family’s treasonous actions.

There were still three years before Ye Wenxing’s accident. He might be able to save Ye Wenxing.

“Brother, do you still have contact with Ye Wenxing?”

He asked suddenly, and Ye Ze was a little strange. “No, does Ye Wenxing have a problem too?”

“No.” Lin Jun thought for a while, but still didn’t speak.

There were many ways to remind Ye Wenxing, and he wasn’t sure of Ye Wenxing’s position yet, so he couldn’t be so rash.

“It’s nothing, I was just asking casually.”

Lin Jun changed the subject. “How are you doing recently? Has Dad’s stomach problem flared up again?”

Ye Ze smiled. “I’m fine…”

The brothers said a few more words before hanging up the phone.

After making two consecutive communications, Lin Jun felt a little relieved.

He looked around the room. Most of the furnishings in the room were familiar to him. The only difference was that there was one more person who shouldn’t have been there.

Lin Jun thought for a while, then took out his Space Button, packed up the clothes and necessities in the room, and prepared to go home for a while.

He didn’t know Ye Mingyuan’s current situation and didn’t dare to stay by Ye Mingyuan’s side all the time. He couldn’t easily reveal his rebirth.

Soon, the things that should be packed in the room were put into the Space Button.

But just as he was about to leave, the terminal dinged.

A news notification appeared on the homepage.

[Colonel Ye Wenxing was attacked by an insectoid force during an extra-territorial patrol mission. He is currently missing, whereabouts unknown.]

Lin Jun shuddered.

He rubbed his eyes and read the news again completely.

Ye Wenxing is missing!

Impossible!

It was clearly Star Calendar 583 now, and Ye Wenxing was seriously injured in Star Calendar 586 in his previous life. This was three years earlier than in his previous life.

He had just asked Lin Ze to remind Ye Wenxing, but the next second he received the news that Ye Wenxing was missing.

Lin Jun gasped.

Was this telling him that he couldn’t change the trajectory of his previous life?

Ye Wenxing would still have an accident, Ye Mingyuan would still return to the Ye family, the war would still happen, and his father and brother would die on the battlefield…

Lin Jun shivered.

But soon he freed himself from this idea.

That’s not right.

The news said that Ye Wenxing was missing, not seriously injured and dying. This was different from his previous life.

Maybe there was still a turning point…

Lin Jun looked at the luggage that had been packed at his feet and suddenly gave up the idea of going back.

He couldn’t leave now.

Once Ye Wenxing had an accident, Ye Mingyuan was the next key figure.

No matter what method he used, he had to stop Ye Mingyuan from returning to the Ye family.

That’s right!

Lin Jun suddenly touched his lower abdomen.

There was still a child here, Ye Mingyuan’s!

With this child, what was he worried about? Even if Ye Mingyuan wanted to return to the Ye family, he couldn’t abandon this child, right?

Lin Jun thought of Ye Mingyuan’s “dog licking” scene yesterday and felt a little relieved.

At least Ye Mingyuan was on his side now.

——

Far away in the teaching building, Ye Mingyuan was standing on the rooftop of the teaching building. He looked at the file sent to his terminal, and Si Zhuo’s voice was in his ears.

“These are the search terms I intercepted. Did something leak? How did he know that you are from the Ye family…”

Ye Mingyuan didn’t speak.

This file reminded him, and all these strange phenomena were all linked together at once.

Lin Jun suddenly lost his memory, as if he remembered everyone else, but didn’t remember him. The way he looked at him often carried inexplicable hostility.

This Lin Jun was probably not the Lin Jun he knew.

Ye Mingyuan’s actions were all in secret, and even the people around him might not know that he was the illegitimate son of the Ye family.

Then how did Lin Jun know?

“Monitor him,” Ye Mingyuan said softly. “Tell me in time if you find anything.”

Si Zhuo was frightened by the coldness in his tone.

He plucked up his courage. “Boss…Lin Jun is carrying your child in his belly.”

Ye Mingyuan: “I know.”

He wouldn’t hurt Lin Jun, but he had to know what exactly happened to Lin Jun.

If the one living in that body was no longer that soul, then when his and Lin Jun’s child was born…

——

Ye Mingyuan swiped open the door lock. The lights in the room were on, and a person was sitting by the bed. He heard the movement and looked up.

Ye Mingyuan’s hand that was opening the door paused slightly. He didn’t expect Lin Jun to be here.

“I thought you were going to go back to your mother’s house and hide for a long time.”

Lin Jun: “That’s what I was planning to do.”

The two people’s eyes met.

Ye Mingyuan quickly understood why Lin Jun didn’t leave.

The news of Ye Wenxing had been exposed.

Since this news came out, almost everyone around him was talking about it.

The insectoids hadn’t moved for a long time. The empire hadn’t had a war in decades, but Ye Wenxing was suddenly attacked by the insectoids and was still missing.

Such bad news made it difficult for everyone to accept for a while. Some people were worried that this might be the insectoids’ declaration of war, while others considered the current situation of the Ye family.

In addition to Ye Wenxing, the Ye family only had Ye Wenming, who had been in poor health since he was a child. Ye Wenxing’s disappearance meant that the huge Ye family had no heir.

Those people didn’t know about Ye Mingyuan’s existence, but Lin Jun knew.

Ye Mingyuan couldn’t figure out what Lin Jun wanted to do for a while. He put down the things in his hand. “Did you see the news?”

“Yes,” Lin Jun nodded. “Do you think the insectoids will take the opportunity to attack?”

“No,” Ye Mingyuan said decisively. “The empire’s defense system is stronger than they think. The insectoids aren’t stupid. They won’t do something they’re not sure about.”

Lin Jun nodded slightly. He suddenly extended an olive branch to Ye Mingyuan. “The Ye family is stationed in the Fifth Star Region. After graduation, are you willing to be transferred to the Fifth Star Region?”

Ye Mingyuan’s pupils shrank suddenly. He looked back at Lin Jun. “Do you know what you’re saying?”

Lin Jun clearly knew that he was the illegitimate son of the Ye family. Given the premise that Ye Wenxing was missing, the Ye family would definitely send someone to find him at the first moment.

Even so, Lin Jun still wanted to invite him to the Lin family’s troops?

Ye Mingyuan didn’t expect Lin Jun to know more than he did.

Although he and Ye Mingyuan had been rivals for more than ten years in his previous life, he didn’t hate Ye Mingyuan as a member of the Ye family.

After Ye Mingyuan established himself as king in the Ye family and cooperated with the insectoids, he provided the empire with a lot of information about the Ye family and the insectoids. In the end, he led his troops to resist the strongest wave of insectoid attacks, and he also died on the battlefield.

It was precisely because of this reason that Lin Jun trusted Ye Mingyuan very much. He believed that Ye Mingyuan would never collude with the Ye family.

What he had to do was to pull Ye Mingyuan into his camp earlier. Without Ye Mingyuan as an assistant, the Ye family’s plan to rebel would definitely not be as smooth as it was in his previous life.

“Of course I know what I’m saying.” Lin Jun stared at Ye Mingyuan. He was rarely a little nervous. “Are you unwilling?”

Ye Mingyuan was only surprised for a while. He quickly agreed. “I’m willing.”

Anyway, that’s what he had originally planned to do.

In Ye Mingyuan’s plan, he had never thought of leaving Lin Jun.

It was just that Lin Jun’s “amnesia” disrupted this plan.

Lin Jun breathed a sigh of relief. A hint of a smile appeared on his face. “Words are not enough. You have to sign an agreement.”

After Lin Jun finished speaking, he took out the prepared agreement from behind him.

“Party B promises to be transferred to the Fifth Star Region after graduation…”

Ye Mingyuan didn’t finish reading it. He quickly put the agreement aside.

Lin Jun was unsure of his meaning. “Do you regret it?”

Ye Mingyuan suddenly hooked his lips and smiled. “No need.”

Lin Jun: “?”

Ye Mingyuan pointed to Lin Jun’s lower abdomen. “This is the best agreement.”

Lin Jun was stunned.

Ye Mingyuan turned and entered the bathroom. Lin Jun sat on the bed, thoughtfully touching his lower abdomen.

He suddenly felt that having this cub was quite good.

Didn’t this solve a big problem?

——

Since that day, Lin Jun and Ye Mingyuan had reached a strange harmony.

Ye Mingyuan didn’t try to flirt with him anymore, and Lin Jun was happy to be at ease. The two of them got along like an old married couple.

While Ye Mingyuan went to class, Lin Jun stayed in the dormitory to deal with his own affairs.

“We didn’t find anything. Ye Mingyuan’s resume is very clean. He came from a small tourist star on the edge of the galaxy. His mother is just an ordinary small shop owner.”

Lin Jun frowned, tapping his fingers on the edge of the table.

“Then help me investigate An Hong.”

“An Hong?”

“Yes.” Lin Jun decided to change his approach. “Check where An Hong finally retired.”

“Okay.”

The person took the order and quickly hung up the communication.

Lin Jun sat on the bed for a while, then quickly opened the school’s forum.

Thanks to the news of Ye Wenxing, there were almost no posts discussing Lin Jun on the entire forum now.

Everyone’s focus was on the Third Star Region and the insectoids, which hadn’t moved for a long time.

[Are we really going to start a war?]

[It’s good to have a war. We can get military merit by then.]

[I joined the military academy to protect the country from invasion, not for any military merit.]

[If the insectoids really invade, the Third Star Region will bear the brunt. I wonder if General Ye can hold on. He just lost a son.]

[This heir of the Ye family is also a big problem, right.]

[General Ye is too miserable…]

[I feel sorry for General Lin, losing his son in middle age.]

Lin Jun couldn’t stand it anymore. He clicked on the semi-transparent screen in front of him and hid his ID.

[Don’t feel sorry, not worth it.]

As soon as Lin Jun sent this message, Ye Mingyuan’s terminal received the message.

He lowered his head and looked at the private screen on his wrist, the corners of his mouth raised, revealing an imperceptible smile.

No matter who Lin Jun was now, but looking at Lin Jun’s position, it should be the same as him.

Lin Jun sat on the bed and brushed for a while, and was forcibly pulled up from the bed by the fiery churning feeling in his stomach.

He plunged into the toilet, retching against the sink.

He hadn’t had time to eat anything in the morning, and his stomach was empty.

Lin Jun turned on the faucet, and the cold water flowed through his palms. He scooped up a handful of water and slapped it on his face.

The cold feeling stimulated his nerves, barely suppressing a little of the urge to vomit.

This wasn’t the first time Lin Jun had felt this terrible feeling.

His stomach was twitching and spasming. Lin Jun hugged the sink and retched for a long time, finally vomiting only a few mouthfuls of stomach acid.

He rinsed his mouth several times in disgust, and the sour feeling in his mouth was barely suppressed.

Lin Jun changed his clothes and turned to go out.

He had to go to the hospital to ask the doctor for some medicine. If he continued to vomit like this every day, he would go crazy sooner or later.

Lin Jun touched his stomach, which was still aching a little, and couldn’t help but feel a little sad.

Damn it.

The price he paid to win over Ye Mingyuan was too great!

Pregnancy was too hard!
