Bab 16: Chapter 13 Are you a virgin?_1
At present, the Solar System Alliance had dispatched regular troops to resist the constantly emerging low-level silicon-based life forms, while also studying the planet. After all, it had fundamental differences from Mars, the moon, and Titan Star. The former three were built based on human technology, like constructing your own house, with a clear structure. However, Kepler 22b required humans to spend sufficient time and patience to explore it.
On one issue, Li Hao believed that the alliance might be speaking half-truths, which was the "easy" extermination of the silicon-based giant insects. It was probably not as easy as imagined.
There was no denying that an old hand and a youngster surprisingly had quite a few common topics. After Li Hao left, Yan Nan fell silent, finding it a little strange. Although there was nothing wrong with his words, some of his opinions required a core understanding of Kepler 22b. This sort of understanding was only available to field experts in the Solar System Alliance. However, the clarity in Li Hao's eyes when speaking seemed as if he had witnessed it himself.
Thinking about it, Yan Nan laughed at himself, his own wild imagination seemed a bit over the top. It was normal for young people to have strange imaginings. It just happened to coincide with his own.
What he said today about fishing really did touch him somewhat.
Kepler 22b was too perfect, so perfect it made people crazy.
As soon as Li Hao walked out, an enchanting figure was seen waiting for him. Boys passing by would occasionally attempt to strike a conversation with her. Only when she saw Li Hao did the unpatiet Ye Tong show her genuinely heartwarming smile, "Li Hao, Li Hao, you finally came out, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
All humans had a fondness for beauty. Li Hao was no pervert. A beautiful and lively girl was waiting for him, which would make anyone happy. It was evident that Ye Tong had some feelings for him, but more of her feelings were gratitude for what he did in the past. She and Nangong Yuhang were close, but only occasionally hung out. Now that so many years had gone by, she probably wanted to jog her memories of her brother through him.
Li Hao smiled faintly, "Little Tong, do you have something to say to me?"
Ye Tong gently replied, "Brother Li, I'd like to buy you a cup of coffee."
In Tianjing Mecha, there was a commercial street that girls loved, called "Chance Encounter Café."
Li Hao liked their signature dark coffee, "Unexpected Encounter at the Corner", very much. The drink was in a simple transparent glass cup with a swaying sprout imprinted on it, and a small piece of dark cocoa. The barista was very proficient, balanced fat content, and the coffee beans were self-blended. The coffee tasted slightly bitter when you first sip it, but more of the smooth texture and fragrant aroma lingered in the mouth.
Enjoying his coffee, Li Hao felt extremely comfortable and calm. It was another great day.
"Brother Li, you've changed a lot." Ye Tong, setting aside her coffee cup, remarked.
"I've always been like this. Little Tong, sometimes you call me Li Hao, sometimes senior, sometimes brother. You almost have me confused. Can we settle on one address?"
Ye Tong flashed a cunning smile, revealing a dimple, "So, what would you like to be called?"
"Whatever works for you." Li Hao shrugged casually.
"Then I'll call you based on my mood. If I'm upset, I'll call you senior, if I'm okay, I'll call you Li Hao, and if I'm especially happy, I'll call you brother."
Li Hao touched his nose, this was equal to having not said anything at all. But that's just what young girls are like, isn't it?
"Alright, let's get to the point. Surely you didn't come to Tianjing just to catch up with me." Li Hao said.
"Li Hao, Hilian Murphy will make a comeback."
The atmosphere suddenly froze. Hilian Murphy, the heir of the Murphy Family, which controlled the NUP's economic lifeline, wasn't the one who directly caused the incident back then, but he was the one who orchestrated it. He was heavily injured by Li Hao and was said to have been reduced to a vegetative state, even though his life was saved.
"NUP has the best gene technology. He fully recovered three years ago, and they deliberately withheld the news, only revealing it recently." Ye Tong articulated every word.
Seeing Li Hao's silence, Ye Tong flashed a smile and said, "Brother, don't overthink it. What happened back then is over. We can only say he was lucky. I want to fulfill my brother's long-standing wish, to make USE rank first."
Li Hao looked at Ye Tong, "Then you should have come to the Tianjing Mecha, the chances there were higher than at North Carolina Military Academy."
The ranking of the North Carolina Military Academy was currently the highest among USE. With Ye Tong's scores, she'd definitely make the cut.
Ye Tong shook her head, "I have no freedom there and I want to walk my own path. Brother, you have to support me."
Li Hao nodded, "I'll do my best, even if it's not much."
Ye Tong gave a beautiful smile, "Bro, what have you been so busy with these years? Why haven't you found a girlfriend?"
Li Hao rolled his eyes, "I haven't found a girlfriend, it's more like you should ask my girlfriend why she hasn't found me yet."
Seeing Li Hao's helpless expression, Ye Tong let out a clear laugh, the thing she liked most when she was young was to play tricks on her brother.
After lunch with Ye Tong, they finished eating under the curious eyes of the crowd. Ye Tong didn't care how people saw her.
On the training ground, the two of them, already dressed in training robes, stood on the fighting platform.
Ye Tong had already gone through a full round of attack, in this she ranked above Musashi, her flexibility, speed, and agility were even superior, such physical characteristics allowed her to strike from any angle. With such complicated moves, no wonder she got the nickname 'God's Pupil', with this kind of gene highlighting her light-weight mecha, indeed a lethal weapon.
"Li Hao, watch out!"
Suddenly, Ye Tong's pupils contracted sharply and she sprang forward, delivering a whip-like kick to Li Hao's face within a split second. Li Hao used his right hand to block the kick and immediately a dull thud was heard, followed by her slender leg kicking out towards him like a lethal scythe.
Thump...Thump...Thump...Thump...Thump...
Triple chained-kicks in quick succession!
In an instant, eighteen kicks aimed at Li Hao's head, ribs, and shins. Li Hao managed to block while retreating, and at this point, Ye Tong had reached her full fighting state, taking advantage of his retreat, she suddenly lunged forward directly at him.
- Heart-strike-elbow!
Boom...
Li Hao raised his left hand and flicked it, took a half-step back, and leaned into his right shoulder.
Dong...
Ye Tong was knocked back three to four meters, but landing on the ground, she immediately sprung back for a counterattack, unfazed by the impact, launching another torrent of attacks on Li Hao.
As Ye Tong's golden genes developed with age, they began to show more and more. Her exceptional flexibility and agility didn't cloak her immense power and resilience. Both the Nangong and Ye families had invested a lot in her upbringing, her foundation was very solid.
The two practiced for half an hour before taking a break, both managed to keep calm and composed throughout, it must be said, that Ye Tong had found a fantastic and patient training partner.
Clap Clap Clap...
"Li Hao, you've got some good skills. Spend more time on the EMP, and choose one or two mech suits that suit you. Train intensively. As for other issues, I will talk with the principal." Zhou Naiyi had been watching the two of them spar for a while now. It was a shame not to be a pilot with such fantastic combat abilities.
Having a solid foundation in close combat doesn't necessarily mean you will be a good pilot, but it does give you a clear advantage, her team was really lacking in experts.
"Class leader, I'm working this hard, can I apply for some bonus from the principal?" Li Hao chuckled.
"Li Hao, what's up with you? This is about honor, personal honor, and the honor of Tianjin Mech Fighters!" Zhou Naiyi couldn't help but laugh. If he talked to the principal about this, he'd be kicked out.
"Yes, really, second brother, talking about money hurts feelings. Besides, we have two beauties here to accompany you. This is a luxury that people beg for." Ye Tong teased.
In Marlon's words, men who try to reason with women are the dumbest. If they lose, it's OK, but if they win, they lose more.
Li Hao quickly found an excuse to leave, leaving only Zhou Naiyi and Ye Tong in the training room.
"Little Tong, do you really think Li Hao can be the vanguard? His EMP results are a bit poor. Even with a solid foundation in close combat, it will be tough to become an expert in a few months. What's more, if the mech pool is shallow, it will be targeted easily."
"Big Sister Naiyi, second brother is very strong. If I want to defeat him, I have to use my full strength. It's such a waste of his talents these few years. As long as we supervise him well, there will be no problem." Ye Tong said. She came here with the intention of repaying a debt, and didn't want to Li Hao continue on this path of decadence.
Zhou Naiyi couldn't help but to chuckle, feeling a bit envious, "Little Tong, I feel like you have some feelings for him?"
Ye Tong laughed, "I do like him a bit, but not to that extent. Second brother is good in every way, except he is a bit obstinate. Whoever becomes his girlfriend should not expect any romantic gestures. Oh, by the way, Big Sister Naiyi, are you still a virgin?"
Zhou Naiyi was taken aback, instantly a blush spread across her fair skin, she hadn't expected the topic of their conversation to shift in this direction.
"Why be shy? We're both women. By the look on your face, I guess you are, same here. Where have all the good guys gone these days? Shall we post on the campus web, saying there are two 'bok choy' up for grabs?" Ye Tong jokingly pointed at Zhou Naiyi's chest as she spoke.
Zhou Naiyi was at a loss for words, Ye Tong was only two years younger than her, and she just gossiped a bit, yet she was the one getting attacked and even ended up retreating.
She's tough to tangle with.
(Getting the wrong characters is really hard, I always double-check them when I upload it, but I focus more on the plotline and often overlook the individual characters. If you guys see any mistakes, treat it as if you're bug hunting. I will try to review more thoroughly, this problem appeared back when I was in high school, whenever I do compositions, I always had to ask for extra marks...)
