159 “(Quick Travel) Meat-eating Journey” Chapter 158

Chapter 158 Science Fiction‧Prostitution Rebel Leader (10)

“Lao Jiu?! Lao Jiu is back!…Old Jiu is back!” The man’s shouts of surprise and joy instantly spread throughout the alley. People ran out of the house and rushed towards Xia Huaijin who was standing at the entrance of the alley.

“Lao Jiu?! Lao Jiu, are you back?!”

“You escaped from prison?”

“Are you okay? Are you injured?”

There was everything in the noisy chatter. Xia Huaijin was surrounded by anxious or surprised voices from his companions. Although the smile on his face was shallow, it was definitely sincere. “Don’t worry, everyone, I’m fine.” He opened his arms and let everyone look at him. “Look, I’m back in good condition.”

“Lao Jiu!” A loud voice came from not far away. A middle-aged man with a beard strode over and gave Xia Huaijin a firm hug. “You kid, you survived the disaster, okay! okay!”

“Brother.” Xia Huaijin smiled and held the man’s hand. When he returned to his familiar home and saw his familiar companions, all the fatigue in his body was washed away in an instant.This is the base of the Men’s Liberation Front in Edgeport and the headquarters of a resistance group that the government hates.

Due to special historical reasons, Edgeport has long been carved up by several major resistance organizations. The government still has the right to rule on the surface, but it is just guarding the last line of defense and not being breached.Unless accidentally left alone like Xia Huaijin last time, the men who joined the resistance organization were free and safe in Edgeport.

After drinking a glass of hot wine, Xia Huaijin felt that his limbs had stretched out. He half-leaned on the chair comfortably. After more than three months, the long-lost comfort and relaxation finally returned.

“Looking at the way you look like a kid, I’m afraid you haven’t endured much hardship.” Fang Yuan poured a full glass of wine for Xia Huaijin. He was one of the three leaders of the Men’s Liberation Front and was called Big Brother by everyone in the organization.

“Well…” Xia Huaijin responded vaguely. Not only did he not endure hardship, but he was carefully nurtured by Ye Xuan and lived a life that many men would envy. However, he could not say these words even to Fang Yuan, whom he regarded as his eldest brother.

After Xia Huaijin was arrested, in order to undermine the morale of the Male Liberation Front, the news of his arrest spread throughout the Nebula Empire overnight.Everyone in the organization believed that he would never come back. Whether he was directly sentenced to death or was completely imprisoned in the research institute as a research resource, Xia Huaijin might have become a symbol of the past. Fang Yuan has been depressed for this until now.

He took over the heavy burden on his shoulders from the previous leader. At that time, there were nine brothers fighting with him. Now, only he, Lao San and Lao Jiu are left, and even the youngest Lao Jiu has died unfortunately.When he learned that Xia Huaijin had returned safely, he, a grown man, was so happy that he danced for joy. After a party, Fang Yuan finally calmed down – he knew that Xia Huaijin was imprisoned in Guanya Prison, such a heavily guarded place, how did Lao Jiu come back unscathed?

“There was a person,” Xia Huaijin hesitated, “she saved me.”

On the way back to Fringe Port, he had already thought about how to deal with Fang Yuan’s words.It’s not that Xia Huaijin doesn’t trust his elder brother, it’s just that his emotional entanglement with Ye Xuan is really not something that can be openly disclosed to others. How can he tell Fang Yuan about those secret and erotic contacts between him and Ye Xuan.

Therefore, in Xia Huaijin’s mouth, Ye Xuan is described as an idealist who sympathizes with men. She rescued Xia Huaijin from Guanya Prison, and then through some operations, Xia Huaijin returned to Fringe Port.”I’m sorry I can’t tell you her name, brother,” Xia Huaijin said in a deep voice, “It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just that if this matter is leaked, it will cause her a lot of trouble, so…”

“Of course, I can understand,” Fang Yuan nodded clearly, “But Lao Jiu, I feel something is wrong.”

“What’s wrong?” Xia Huaijin was a little confused.

Fang Yuan stared at Xia Huaijin for a long time, then suddenly showed a bad smile: “You said that girl helped you because she sympathized with us men. I think… that girl actually likes you.”

“Cough, cough!…” Xia Huaijin was drinking. Hearing this, a mouthful of spicy wine stuck in his throat, and he immediately choked and coughed violently. “Brother, you, cough, cough…” He didn’t know where Fang Yuan saw it from. Did the elder brother really guess it?

“It’s a joke, I see you’re excited.” Fang Yuan curled his lips, and before Xia Huaijin could breathe a sigh of relief, he added, “It’s not that the girl likes you, I think it’s just that you like the girl. Even the tone of voice is different when mentioning the girl, so don’t pretend to be dumbfounded.”

“I…” Xia Huaijin was speechless for a moment. He recalled his behavior when he mentioned Ye Xuan. Is there really… something strange?

Due to the disparity in the population of men and women, the people of the Nebula Empire rarely have the opportunity to experience love.Let alone experience, most people don’t even know how to communicate normally between men and women.But Xia Huaijin was different. His parents loved each other all their lives. They taught Xia Huaijin what normal love was when he was young.Therefore, he can easily detect Ye Xuan’s love for him, and he can also distinguish his feelings for Ye Xuan..

Does he like Ye Xuan?Xia Huaijin can be sure that it is not.If there was something different about him towards Ye Xuan, it was probably that he was always easy to be soft-hearted towards that woman.This soft-heartedness may come from Ye Xuan’s attraction to him. Xia Huaijin thought that if they were in the era before “Black March”, he would definitely fall in love with Ye Xuan without hesitation.But now, standing on two completely different paths, they will have no future.And when Xia Huaijin chose to leave the institute, it further indicated that this attraction would end in vain.

Before he could remember that he liked her, Xia Huaijin strangled her with his own hands.

“Brother,” Xia Huaijin smiled, “Since it’s a joke, why don’t you tell me about you and your sister-in-law?”

“Bah! You brat, no matter how big or small.” Fang Yuan was taken over by him and he naturally forgot about Ye Xuan’s matter.

At night, Xia Huaijin couldn’t sleep.He couldn’t help but wonder, what is Ye Xuan doing now?Human beings are really despicable creatures. They know that the past is past, but they still insist on clinging to it.

“I’m probably too idle,” the man said with a helpless smile in the darkness, “I’d better find something to do for myself.”

In addition to Edgeport, the Male Liberation Front has strongholds in many space cities in the asteroid belt.For many years, they and the government forces have been constantly fighting in these space cities, bit by bit, like ants building a nest, persevering in expanding their living range.Xuanning, who is in low-Earth orbit, is at the forefront of the tug of war between the two sides.On the third day after returning to Edgeport, Xia Huaijin went to Xuanning’s battlefield.

In the fight with the enemy, he finally regained the freedom and carefree feeling of the past.One day he will forget Ye Xuan. Even if he doesn’t want to, he will force himself to forget.

“Brother Huaijin!”

Xia Huaijin had just returned from the front line. He had not yet taken off the particle beam energy gun from his waist. He was covered in dust and lay slumped on a chair wiping sweat.The girl pushed open the door and said hurriedly: “My brother is on the communication channel, saying he has something urgent to call you!”

Urgent?Xia Huaijin was shocked. Fang Yuan was an extremely calm person, and even he thought it was an emergency. Could it be that something happened to the base in Edge Port?He quickly stood up and followed the girl to the communications war room.On the holographic photon screen, Fang Yuan was pacing back and forth anxiously. Seeing his appearance, Xia Huaijin felt his heart go cold: “Brother, what happened…”

Before he finished speaking, Fang Yuan hurriedly rushed towards Xia Huaijin when he saw him. His burly figure looked like he was about to burst out of the screen: “Something bad has happened, Lao Jiu,” he paused subtly, “A girl came to the base to find you… and I want you to take responsibility!””

#
When Xia Huaijin saw Ye Xuan again, she was surrounded by a group of curious men pointing at her.”I’m not here to take responsibility for him,” the woman still had that paralyzed face, but Xia Huaijin could see the sincerity in her expressionless face. She answered Fang Yuan’s dumbfounding question seriously, “I’m not pregnant, and he’s not a heartless person. Mr. Fang, I must”I want to point out a fact,” she said patiently, “Under today’s social conditions, even if I get pregnant unexpectedly, I don’t need to find the biological father of the child to take responsibility at all. This only happened hundreds of years ago. I would like to ask, are you too addicted to nostalgic videos?”

“So, you two have done it?” Fang Yuan didn’t grasp the point of Ye Xuan’s words at all, but asked bluntly.

“I…”

“Ye Xuan!”

Before Ye Xuan could finish her words, her voice paused.That familiar deep voice suddenly sounded, and at that moment, his body was completely out of control.She turned her head, facing the dazzling sunshine at noon, and saw Xia Huaijin running over from a distance.There was sweat on the man’s forehead, his clothes were dusty, and there were even blood stains on his sleeves. He must have been rolling around in the trenches, and he was dirty and as embarrassed as a homeless man.

“So dirty…” She muttered in a low voice, suddenly dropped the box in her hand, and hugged Xia Huaijin hard, who stopped in front of her, in front of everyone’s astonished eyes.

Xia Huaijin froze, and the woman’s soft body leaned against his chest. It was a smell he was familiar with, belonging only to Ye Xuan, with a cold fragrance.His heart suddenly beat violently. Xia Huaijin grabbed Ye Xuan’s shoulders and wanted to pull her out of his arms. The wetness on his chest made Xia Huaijin’s hands freeze in mid-air, “You…” He lowered his head with complicated eyes. Is she crying?

“I miss you so much, Xia Huaijin…” Ye Xuan didn’t know why she cried. She had always been in a calm mood. She had gone through a lot of hard work to find this place, but all her fearlessness collapsed the moment she saw Xia Huaijin.She sniffed vigorously, not caring how rude it was.When he raised his head again, the tears on his face had dried, and only the corners of his eyes were still red.

“I ran away from home.” Ye Xuan said softly.

“Escape from home?” Xia Huaijin repeated her words mechanically, his brain still in a state of panic.

“Yes,” Ye Xuan nodded heavily, and she smiled. Her smile was gentle and serious, “I want to join the Men’s Liberation Front.”

“What?!” Not only Xia Huaijin, but also all the men around him who were eavesdropping gasped, “Do you know?”

“Of course I know.” This means that Ye Xuan will lose her status, wealth, relatives and friends, stand on the opposite side of 4.9 billion women, and may lose her life at any time.All safety and comfort will disappear, replaced by endless displacement.What does it feel like to be against the whole world?Join the Men’s Liberation Front to experience it.

“Stop messing around!” Xia Huaijin spoke to Ye Xuan in such a stern tone for the first time. He said with a cold face, “Pick up the box and I’ll take you to the port.”

“I didn’t make this decision because of you,” Ye Xuan was not angry. She watched Xia Huaijin go to carry the box, but when the man pulled her, she held Xia Huaijin’s hand and stood still. “After you left, I thought a lot…”

Thinking about her feelings for Xia Huaijin, thinking about Xia Huaijin’s choices… there were many, many things that Ye Xuan had never thought about.She is a very smart person who has received the best education since she was a child. She has extensive knowledge and excellent thinking skills.If she hadn’t been blinded by love, she should have predicted that there would be no result between herself and Xia Huaijin.With Xia Huaijin’s character and pursuit, how could she willingly obey her? The one she loved was the one who would choose to leave.

Looking back, she was ridiculously stupid, and her past twenty-four years were so poor and monotonous that they turned pale.

It is said that with great ability comes great responsibility. Ye Xuan has all the unique conditions, but she has never done anything valuable.Yes, she made great achievements in academics and even made great contributions to the reproduction of human beings, but those contributions were based on the ruthless exploitation of the other party.It was after Ye Xuan fell in love with Xia Huaijin that she suddenly realized that the men she had always treated as experimental subjects were actually her compatriots.

The impact of this sudden enlightenment on her was no less than that of being rejected by Xia Huaijin without hesitation. For a moment, she didn’t know whether she should be sad for the sudden loss of her love, or feel guilty for what she had done in the past.

She thought that she should not continue like this.Being framed within the rules and living a planned life step by step.She actually didn’t know what she was pursuing. She envied Xia Huaijin. It was such a wonderful thing to be able to live an ideal life.

If you don’t know, then go find the answer.She came here not only for Xia Huaijin, but also for herself.

“Are you worried about me?” Xia Huaijin’s face was full of anger, but Ye Xuan had a rare smile. “You know my style of doing things.” At this moment, she showed the arrogance that only aristocratic elites can have. “My decisions have been carefully considered and there is a safe way out, so I will not go back. Even you, don’t try to persuade me to go back.”

“Oh, young man, don’t be so angry,” Fang Yuan came over to smooth things over, “Old Jiu, look at how shabby you are, go and wash your face first, you’ve soiled this little girl’s clothes.”

Only then did Xia Huaijin realize that Ye Xuan was still hugging him, and the guys in the base were surrounding him and Ye Xuan, looking as excited as gossip.

“Ahem,” Xia Huaijin coughed pretending to be calm and glared at Ye Xuan again, “I’m going to change clothes. Just stay here.”

“What kind of attitude does this brat have?” Fang Yuan clicked his tongue and winked at Ye Xuan, “Don’t mind, little girl, he has a sharp mouth but a soft heart.”

“I don’t mind.” Ye Xuan nodded, a smile appeared on her lips unconsciously – if she read it correctly, Xia Huaijin’s ears were red.
