There are two people in the Imperial Military Academy who should not be messed with.
One is You Qingyi from the combat branch. He ranks first in the school in terms of individual combat prowess and has a temper as hard as his fists. No one dares to team up with him, and no one wants to team up with him.
The other is Chu Rui from the Technical Branch, a theoretical genius who was admitted by the Junk Star. He works alone and never gets involved in anything.
In a conflict, the two of them fought head-on, and no one lost.
You Qingyi remembered this person.
Everyone thought that one of these two mortal enemies would fall first sooner or later.
As a result, the instructor made an order and made them into partners.
The whole school was waiting to see the joke. So do they themselves.
But later——
He was injured during the mission. He carried him back from the fire zone and cursed, "What the hell are you trying to do?"
Late at night in the old warehouse, he put a bottle of energy drink next to the mat and said nothing.
He took him home, and his grandfather pushed the food over and said, "Eat more."
They still choked each other, still had a cold war, and still refused to accept anyone.
But from one day onwards, there was worry hidden in his curse words, and responses hidden in the gaps between his silences.
Then graduated. No one spoke.
Late at night many years later, a familiar voice of impatience came from the encrypted channel.
Chu Rui pressed the communication button and said what she shouldn't have said:
"... Is it you?"
