124 “(Quick Travel) Meat Eating Journey” Chapter 123
byChapter 123 Science Fiction‧Prostitution Imperial Major General (Seventeen)
“Dear General Ke, I will now report all the information about Lieutenant Ye Xuan that I have investigated as follows——”
On the communicator, this confidential information marked S was sliding across the holographic screen at a constant speed.The content of the intelligence was very complicated, starting from when Ye Xuan was born and her identity information was registered in the resident information database, until she was promoted to lieutenant and was about to be transferred to the position of adjutant to the commander of the Fifth Army.
Ye Xuan knew that Ke Xiu had investigated her, so it was no big deal.For the special profession of military personnel, it is very common for resume information to be registered one by one.She was originally looking up relevant information on the Doproxin Titanium research project, but saw this information in the database.Apparently it had been mixed up by a careless intelligence agent and filed in the wrong category.Ye Xuan clicked on the information out of curiosity. After all, it was quite interesting to see her life experience so far from another person’s perspective.
With her fingertips lightly swiping across the screen, Ye Xuan watched herself being born, growing up, and spending her pale and meager childhood in the slums… Suddenly, her fingertips stopped on a line of words.
“In CE612, a local rebellion broke out at the Sanjing Spaceport where the target was located. The Xihe fleet, which was then affiliated with the Third Army of the Earth Military Region, was responsible for quelling the rebellion. During the rebellion, the target was almost killed by the rebels’ gunfire. After multiple investigations, it was discovered that the person who rescued the target from the rebels was Major Ke Xiu, who was serving on the Xihe at the time.”
Ye Xuan did not read the following content carefully. Her mind was filled with one thought – Ke Xiu had known that he had saved her before?
Ye Xuan always thought that Ke Xiu didn’t know about this at all. At that time, she was only fourteen years old, lying in a pool of blood covered with mud, her face so dirty that only two eyes could be seen clearly.To her, Ke Xiu is the hero who saves her from fire and water.In the eyes of Major Ke, who left in a hurry, the girl he rescued was just a poor person with a vague face.From the time Ke Xiu joined the army until now, he has personally saved more than a thousand ordinary people. It is impossible for him to remember a little girl whose face he couldn’t even see clearly, and there is no need to remember it.
Ye Xuan didn’t intend to tell Ke Xiu about this. She was grateful to Ke Xiu at that time, but she didn’t want her obsession to disturb others.
But now, knowing that Ke Xiu had already understood this matter, Ye Xuan suddenly felt a strange uneasiness in her heart.In the few months they had been together, Ke Xiu never showed any signs of knowing.It’s not something that needs to be avoided, since they are so close, what’s the big deal in talking about the past.
Ye Xuan thought that maybe Ke Xiu also thought that she didn’t want to talk about this past.And… maybe he thought he had forgotten too.
She took a deep breath and continued looking down.
After that, the record returned to being mediocre. Ye Xuan recalled it again and realized that her girlhood was really boring.She desperately wanted to become stronger and desperately wanted to leave the slums. After making a vow to find the hero, she abandoned all the extra fun in life and worked hard for the only goal.
How could an orphan without a father or mother find an officer whose name he didn’t even know in the vast crowd? Ye Xuan had no choice but to join the army.At that time, she was thin and frail, and if she expressed her desire to join the army, she would only get blank looks and ridicule from the people around her.And when Ye Xuan understood the meaning of Xihehao, she felt even more desperate.Yes, just being an ordinary soldier is not enough. If you want to get in touch with that ship, you must do everything you can to become an officer holding an important position.
Looking back now, Ye Xuan no longer remembers what power was supporting her.Is it the lonely brave man who doesn’t want to admit defeat, or is it the secret love that has been deified in the girl’s heart?She worked hard without sleep, almost consuming her life, and finally got admitted to the best military academy in the empire when she was sixteen years old.And this is not the end, just the beginning.
You won’t have to be so tired when you find him.I have encouraged myself like this in my heart countless times. What will I do after I find him?Ye Xuan thought, in fact, she had no intention of doing anything, she just wanted to give herself an explanation.
That’s why she was so shocked and angry when she saw Ke Xiu.Because the person who has supported her for so many years is actually such a person, how could she not be disappointed.Fortunately, she no longer thinks so, and Ye Xuan even feels lucky.In the past seven years, she loved Ke Xiu, but not Ke Xiu. That love was sincere, but also illusory.But until now, she truly loved that real and vivid man.
The knot that had always made Ye Xuan hesitant was finally solved at this moment. She was not an indecisive person and had never thought about confessing to Ke Xiu, but it was just because she had not yet confirmed her feelings.Turning my head, the sun was shining brightly outside the window.Ye Xuan couldn’t help but smile. Today was the day. If Ke Xiu returned to the mansion today, she would say all the words buried deep in her heart.
The last part of the information was not read yet. Ye Xuan was about to put it away. After thinking about it, she slid her finger and continued browsing…

“General, those girls are still guarding outside the mansion.” Liang hurriedly followed Ke Xiu and said with some dissatisfaction.
“Let them go.” Ke Xiu said slightly, “It’s a public place outside, and people have the right to decide where they appear.” He didn’t have any extra time to care about those crazy supporters. He had already stayed in the Lorraine Palace for five days because of the tug-of-war between the Military Ministry and the House of Representatives over the Xihe incident.After finally ending the meeting, he rushed to the official residence without any hesitation.
Lisang, who was accompanying him, was not very understanding: “The urgent matters have been taken care of, maybe you should go and relax.”
“It’s the same when you go back to the official residence.” He told his confidant nonchalantly, “Relax?”Where to go to relax.At this moment, nothing could make Ke Xiu more relaxed than seeing that person.
Ke Xiu almost stepped into the door with a joyful mood, and all his followers were sent away by him. Military boots tapped on the floor, and the steady footsteps carried an urgency that he was not even aware of.He stopped in front of a simple door – this was the adjutant’s office.
He knew that Ye Xuan was behind this door.Maybe he was dealing with military affairs, maybe he was checking intelligence.Sometimes she was thinking, sometimes staring, and those expressions that were either serious or confused or startled were like frames of a movie, playing crazily in Ke Xiu’s mind for a long time and in a loop.
And he just left her for five days.
On the day he left Dopuluo Star, Ke Xiu thought that he should seriously consider his relationship with Ye Xuan.This is not because he is unsure about his feelings, but because General Ke’s code of conduct states that before making a decision, you must be 100% prepared.It is not that simple for a figure who is almost a symbol of pure-blood nobility to marry a natural person.But fortunately, there are very few things in this world that Ke Xiu can’t do.
Today, after all the arrangements, oppression, and compromises, Ke Xiu was finally fully prepared.He took a deep breath – the last time he did this nervous action was ten years ago – and opened the door in front of him.
There were no lights on in the room, and Ye Xuan was sitting at her desk. The dim light projected by the holographic display screen reflected on her face, making her look cold and lonely.Ke Xiu immediately realized something was wrong. Before he could speak, Ye Xuan stood up.
“You already knew that.” The woman looked at him coldly, as if looking at a stranger.
“What happened?” Ke Xiu took a step forward and wanted to grab Ye Xuan’s hand, but she threw it away without hesitation.With a bang, the communicator was roughly thrown under Ke Xiu’s eyes. On the transparent screen, the black text was particularly conspicuous——
“After half a year of investigation, I believe that the target fully meets your requirements, general, especially her personal emotions. It is not my random guess. Judging from the target’s series of actions, she has been looking for the officer who rescued her from the rebels, that is, you, general. I have reason to confirm that the target has a special feeling for you, similar to reverence and admiration – it may not be rigorous to say these words in this official intelligence, but it is important.
Considering that you need not only a qualified adjutant, but also an adjutant who can keep secrets, I think it is necessary to make use of this feeling.After all, a loyal admirer is safer than a loyal subordinate.
Yours truly, Rhysion.”
