When he received the distress signal from the military, he didn't even spend much time figuring out which army it was from.

He was just thinking, what if it's the Third Army?

It absolutely must not be the third army.

He didn't want to capture Xu Ran again.

He was relieved when he arrived at the scene and saw that the Third Army had come for a rescue mission.

Xu Ran didn't expose him, but instead took the initiative to explain: "The Fourth Army fell into the trap. I just left planet B07 and went there because I was nearby."

"The Fourth Army, General Bai Sinian?" Pei Cheng asked.

Xu Ran nodded: "It's him."

Pei Cheng recalled Xu Ran's past grievances with the Bai family and asked with some confusion, "I thought you two didn't get along."

Xu Ran frankly replied, "Not familiar. However, he is from a collateral branch of the Bai family and was not close to the former head of the family."

Pei Cheng suddenly realized that knowing it was related to Xu Ran was enough. He didn't ask anything else, but instead checked whether Xu Ran was injured.

Having just come from the battlefield, although it hadn't taken much effort, there were still some scrapes and cuts.

Pei Cheng wanted Xu Ran to enter the medical pod, but Xu Ran seriously rejected his overly extravagant suggestion.

Pei Cheng had no choice but to apply the medicine to him herself.

The system was originally sitting on the sofa, but after being driven away by Xu Ran, it drifted off to the kitchen.

It was clearly a normal application of medicine, because the system looked around and was startled by the fish still jumping in the pool before hastily escaping.

When they escaped, Pei Cheng had already zipped up Commander Xu's clothes again.

The combat suit was waterproof and cold-proof, and the inside was dry and warm, so Pei Cheng gave up the idea of ​​changing his clothes.

Commander Xu, who was dressed neatly, looked somewhat disappointed.

But it was only for a moment. After hearing the system's whirring and clattering, Commander Xu composed himself, shaken off his self-doubt from the failed seduction attempt, and changed tactics.

"I'll go cook for you."

Pei Cheng didn't refuse. For some reason, he smiled slightly and said, "There's just one fish left."

Xu Ran focused on cleaning the fish scales, and Pei Cheng didn't help, returning to her own bedroom.

Snowflakes were blown onto the window by the wind, melting and freezing. Winters here are very cold and long. In previous years, Pei Cheng would go to other planets with Xuan Feng and the others at this time.

When Xuan Feng sent the message a few days ago, Pei Cheng had already taken out her suitcase, but she did not agree to come over.

The suitcase placed by the bed had been deliberately ignored until now, when I finally managed to pack a few clothes into it.

Pei Cheng didn't pack much, but he was a little conflicted. There were a few clothes that Xu Ran really liked, but Commander Xu, who had returned to the main star, was not his prisoner, but an Imperial General, and didn't need those clothes.

Because of his hesitation, Xu Ran knocked on the door and he was still not fully tidied up.

Pei Cheng didn't want Xu Ran to wait, so she put her things down and went out to eat.

He changed out of his snow-soaked, chilly coat and put on soft, warm, light-colored fuzzy loungewear for easier packing.

Snowy weather is very appealing.

Commander Xu lacked the self-control he had at the military headquarters. He reached out and touched his clothes, then his hair, finding his hair more comfortable.

As dusk fell, they turned on the lights, and the warm yellow light shone on Pei Cheng's head, which had been ruffled by Xu Ran.

Perhaps because of the long-awaited reunion, Xu Ran found even his upturned hair strands adorable.

Or perhaps it has nothing to do with a long-awaited reunion.

Pei Cheng ate very seriously, slowly and deliberately, but her eyes would light up slightly when she ate something delicious.

"Aren't you hungry?" Pei Cheng asked, noticing Xu Ran's lingering gaze.

On the table was a meat dish, a vegetable dish, and a soup. The braised fish was delicious, and the soup was fresh, rich, and hot. Eating such a meal on a cold day warmed my heart.

Ironically, the person cooking doesn't seem very interested.

Xu Ran: "Hmm, it's alright."

The system in the space ate fish with gusto, looking worried. It was one thing for its host to be unable to tolerate emotional abuse, but it also couldn't stand a long-distance relationship.

They're probably figuring out how to stay a few more days now.

After the two finished eating, Pei Cheng originally planned to clean up the dishes, but then remembered that she hadn't finished tidying up the room, so she felt a little embarrassed to bother Xu Ran again.

Xu Ran wasn't bothered by the trouble; she was just curious. She threw the dishes into the dishwasher and waited patiently for a while.

Pei Cheng came out of the room and met Xu Ran's gaze.

"Shouldn't you go back to the main planet?" Pei Cheng was still considering how to say it next.

The snowy night was pitch black, and it was extremely cold outside. Xu Ran didn't want to walk alone at night, so she immediately said, "I have a vacation that I haven't taken yet."

"Huh?" Pei Cheng didn't realize that this was possible.

He frowned slightly, regretting his presumptuous decision: "So, we're not going to the main planet?"

we.

Pei Cheng took a step forward, revealing what was behind the door.

Xu Ran saw that the suitcases inside the room were already packed.

...Xu Ran was willing to walk the night road with him.

The small airship traversed the vast and boundless sea of ​​stars.

Pei Cheng, who was in the passenger seat, was covered with a blanket and had already fallen asleep with her eyes closed.

The system was in high spirits at the moment, feeling comfortable looking at the dark starry sky outside, and happily munching on the data bar.

When will the progress for Task 1 be full?

Xu Ran knew in her heart: "It should take another five years."

"Oh," the system responded, then looked at their bond level, which had returned to 85%. "Isn't mission two coming up soon?"

Its idea is quite reasonable, since as long as Xu Ran and Pei Cheng are together, the progress of Mission Two will increase very quickly.

Xu Ran glanced to her side; her dark, deep eyes resembled the vast starry sea at that moment.

"It should be until the moment before I leave this world," he said after a moment's thought.

The starship activated autopilot, but it still needed to be monitored, as the route Xu Ran was traveling on was prone to hurricanes.

Pei Cheng woke up halfway through, and then Xu Ran took over the rest.

The universe was dark, but the starship was bright. Pei Cheng's fingers traced across the glass, as if trying to touch something that didn't exist.

The starship landed. There was no snow on the main star tonight, but the wind was gentle and the moon was bright.

Pei Cheng leaned over and patted Xu Ran on the shoulder.

Commander Xu, no longer alert as in battle, let himself remain in a drowsy state. Clearly misunderstood, he hooked his arm around Pei Cheng's neck and gave her a sticky kiss.

Pei Cheng didn't push him away immediately. After realizing what was happening, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at the starship door that had opened automatically.

The adjutant, who had been waiting at the landing site for some time, was standing outside the door.

adjutant:"……!!!"

He was clearly more frightened, while Pei Cheng calmed down and stepped onto the stairs with a composed expression, trying to act as if nothing had happened.

But Xu Ran behind him had already taken his hand, her voice still carrying a hint of grievance as she awoke: "Why didn't you hold my hand?"
