Inside the water transport aircraft belonging to the Orb Rescue Team.
When Shihe saw Li Boyong waking up and heard what he said, he couldn't control himself anymore. He fell on Li Boyong's chest and cried, not caring that his captain was right next to him.
"Don't cry, am I okay?"
Li Boyong touched her head to comfort her.
Seeing Shihe crying on his chest, Li Boyong felt a little proud in his heart, and he didn't have the anger that he should have if he was almost killed.
When this emotion came up, he knew that he probably really liked the girl in his arms.
Is this kind of love too 'extravagant' in this war?
Li Boyong thought for a long time but could not give an answer. He could only stare at the ceiling, thinking about his own little things, and ignored the wonderful expressions of Aslan and Cagalli.
Aslan and Cajiali's little faces with tear stains suddenly became wonderful after they saw Shihe throwing herself into Li Boyong's arms.
What is the relationship between these two people?
A red-coated pilot from the ZAFT Army...
An Earth Alliance MA pilot...
In addition to fighting each other, people who can't be beaten with eight sticks now look like such a bloody person...
"It's him……"
Aslan's memory was pretty good. Although Li Boyong was wrapped in bandages like a mummy, he still recognized that this was not the 'enthusiastic citizen' who sneaked into Orb that day?
It turns out that he is a pilot of the Union Army, but what is his relationship with Shihe?
Aslan was shocked and confused, but Cagalli simply asked, "You... know each other?"
When Li Boyong heard this, he wanted to get up and explain, but he seemed to be seriously injured and couldn't get up.
"careful."
Shihe comforted him to lie down, the two looked at each other and smiled, and simply told each other the details of their acquaintance.
From the encounter in the Pacific, to the life-and-death showdown living together on a desert island, it finally transformed into a friendship of supporting each other and overcoming difficulties together.
Originally, the story should have ended here, but Shihe was transferred to Aslan's pursuit team again, and the bad relationship between Li Boyong and Shihe continued.
Li Boyong slowly told everything until he was shot down by Shihe.
Only then did Aslan realize that there was someone like him who had killed someone he didn't want to kill because of Nigel.
It's just that Li Boyong was lucky enough to survive, and he actually killed Kira.
Thinking of this, the young master of the Sarah family couldn't help but cry like a fool.
Cagalli is kind-hearted. Although she hates him for killing Kira, she can understand his helplessness and can't help but comfort Aslan.
"Hello……"
As a result, when she turned around, Cagalli saw Li Boyong and Shi He interlocking with each other affectionately. Suddenly, she had the illusion that she was being shown off, and she didn't know how to complain.
One from the Coalition, one from ZAFT...
What kind of ridiculous love drama is this?
Such a bloody thing actually happened to me...
"But what are your plans next?"
Cagalli scratched her hair and smiled bitterly.
Yes...what should we do next?
Li Boyong and Shihe were silent at the same time, not knowing how to answer.
After a while, Li Boyong asked tentatively: "Cagalli, you are the princess of Orb, can you make the Orb government accept me?"
"Don't embarrass me, you guy, it will cause diplomatic problems." Cagalli smiled bitterly: "After we rescued you, we notified the Earth Army, and they will send someone to pick you up immediately."
Li Boyong shook his head slightly when he heard this. Although Orb will be attacked by the Earth Army in the future, if he goes to Orb, he can find a way to enter the three-ship alliance. If he meets Shihe on the battlefield, he can simply drag her into the three-ship alliance. Alliance, this would also allow Shihe to escape PLANT's purge in ZAFT's army after the war.
But now it seems that this road is not feasible.
Then Cagalli pointed at Shihe and Aslan, "The same goes for you, the ZAFT army will come to pick you up."
Li Boyong and Shi He looked at each other, with some unconcealable bitterness in their eyes.
The two of them belong to different camps after all, and now it seems that they will return to their respective armies. They may meet again on the battlefield in the future.
Or maybe, there won't even be a chance to meet again...
After all, this is a bad relationship.
Thinking of this, Li Boyong suddenly asked Aslan: "Captain Sarah, can I ask you a favor?"
Without waiting for Aslan to agree, he said to himself: "I hope you can help hide this past between me and Shihe from the ZAFT army."
"Shihe is a kind-hearted girl. In the final analysis, she has not betrayed the ZAFT Army. It's just because I saved her on the island and she couldn't bear to attack me."
"You and Kira were childhood friends, but you had to fight him all the way. I believe you can understand some things."
The implication is that he hopes that Shihe will not be implicated because of his relationship with himself, a Union Army pilot, after returning to the ZAFT Army.
Aslan glanced at Li Boyong, thought for a while and then nodded, "I promise you."
He basically believed what the two said, and personally understood Shihe's suffering in that situation, so he did not want Shihe to be embarrassed by the military legal department.
"Thanks."
When Aslan agreed, Li Boyong thanked him sincerely.
There was silence in the transport plane, and the four of them didn't know what to say next.
A moment later, Cagalli received a communication from the cockpit, saying that the Earth Army's plane to pick up Li Boyong was approaching.
Li Boyong knew that the time to say goodbye had come. He reluctantly let go of Shihe's hand, looked at Shihe's red and swollen eyes from crying, and turned a thousand words into a sentence of "take care."
Shihe didn't say much, just hummed softly.
Not long after, the joint water transport plane arrived, and Li Boyong, who was seriously injured, was carried and transferred to the joint army.
After getting on the United plane, after the person in charge of United and Aub completed the handover, the plane took Li Boyong into the sky.
Li Boyong struggled to lean against the window, reluctantly watching the Orb aircraft getting smaller and smaller below, until his vision was blocked by a white cloud.
A few hours later, the plane parked at the airport of a coalition military base.
Li Boyong was transferred to the hospital affiliated with the base. Feeling the hot and humid atmosphere in the ward, he couldn't help but asked the nurse in surprise: "Isn't this the Alaska base?"
The nurse curled her lips, "Of course not, places like Alaska don't have such good weather."
Li Boyong asked, "Where is this place?"
He originally thought that after being picked up, the pilot of the Archangel would be sent to the Alaska base, and he planned to follow the Archangel and sneak into the three-ship alliance.
"Didn't the guys who sent you here tell you anything?"
The nurse rolled her eyes, which was a little cute, but Li Boyong had no intention of appreciating it at all, and instead had a look of anxiety on his face.
"Okay, I'll tell you, don't get excited."
The nurse said helplessly: "This is a hospital affiliated with Joint Base San Antonio in California."
California?
Joint Base San Antonio?
I know the general location, but what is the name of the base that I have never heard of?
A sense of absurdity that the world line deviated from the plot came to mind, and Li Boyong spent a lot of effort to suppress it.
It is not the world line that deviates from the plot, but himself...
