Xiao Tingyun and Prime Minister Gui hit it off immediately, and in the next three days, the two chatted happily. Before their starship arrived at the Xuefu Planet, Xiao Tingyun had already started to ask people to prepare the laboratory. .
Three days later, the starship arrived at Nebula Port.
As soon as the three of them left the port, they saw Lu Wei and his people waiting outside.
The people Lu Wei brought this time were not the guards from the Crown Prince's Guards, but many elderly researchers.
These researchers are also Xiao Tingyun's people. In the past three days, they have become familiar with Prime Minister Gui through constant video communication. Now they have finally met Prime Minister Gui himself. These researchers are even better than meeting Xiao Tingyun. enthusiasm.
Lu Wei looked at Long Jiu quietly and curiously, and while the researchers were surrounding Prime Minister Gui and exchanging warm greetings, he whispered to Xiao Tingyun: "The location of the laboratory has been selected, and it is in Nebula. In the Meilin Garden in the district. Meilin Garden is a private villa area with the best security and privacy. The laboratory is arranged underground in the villa. Teachers can live in the villa, and our own People are responsible for the safety and livelihood of teachers.”
Xiao Tingyun knew about Meilin Garden. He also had a three-story villa there. Lu Wei arranged his laboratory there. Xiao Tingyun understood Lu Wei's considerations. In terms of safety and privacy, it was indeed the best place there. suitable.
Looking at Prime Minister Gui and the researchers who had finished shaking hands with each other, Xiao Tingyun turned his head and said to Long Jiu beside him: "I will take Uncle Gui and the others to Meilin Garden first. Do you want to follow us there, or have someone take you off first?" Go back to the academy?"
Long Jiu thought about it and realized that she had already missed the exam. It seemed useless to run back to the academy at this time. However, she was very interested in where Prime Minister Turtle would live in the future, so she said, "I'll go with you. There's no point in going back to the academy now." What's the matter with me? I guess everyone in our class hasn't come back yet."
Freshmen and juniors have long been sent to training stars. Even if freshmen are the first to start the assessment, they will be sent back together with students from other grades. So in terms of time, her My friends should be either on the training star or on their way back to the academy star.
After Long Jiu finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Tingyun and asked, "Aren't you in a hurry to go back to the academy? Your graduation exam will be in two days."
The graduation assessment for seniors is different from them. Students from other grades go to the training star to conduct confrontation exercises with students from other military academies, but the graduation assessment for seniors is a mission, and it is a mission with targets.
However, Xiao Tingyun was really not in a hurry. Although it was a graduation examination, he was already used to going on missions.
Xiao Tingyun shook his head and smiled: "No rush, let's make arrangements for Uncle Gui first."
He was the one who was going to take the graduation examination and said so, so Long Jiu naturally had nothing to say.
The last group of people took four or five speed cars and went to Plum Grove Garden together.
Although it is not possible to set up a complete laboratory in three days, it is enough to set up the laboratory.
After Prime Minister Turtle visited the newly installed underground laboratory, although the instruments and equipment used for experiments and research in the laboratory had not yet been delivered, he still felt very satisfied after viewing it.
The only thing that dissatisfied Prime Minister Turtle was that he couldn't follow Long Jiu back to the academy and stay with her to take care of her all the time.
Regarding Prime Minister Gui's dissatisfaction, Long Jiu comforted him: "It's not far away anyway. I can come here every day, and the holiday is coming soon, so you have to come with me then. Besides, the laboratory here has just just arrived. Let’s start the formation. I can’t do without you anywhere. Are you sure you have time to stay with me and take care of me?”
These words stopped Prime Minister Gui. He glanced at the laboratory behind him with great trepidation, and then at Long Jiu, "I have agreed that I will prepare delicious food for you every day, Your Highness."
Long Jiu didn't understand Prime Minister Gui's thoughts at all, and said carelessly: "Actually, the robot butler in my dormitory cooks quite delicious food, and the school canteen is also..."
Before he finished speaking, Prime Minister Turtle became unhappy.
Long Jiu immediately changed his mind and said, "Then I'll come over here to eat in the future."
Prime Minister Gui then smiled with satisfaction, and did not forget to say to Xiao Tingyun: "Come here too. You still have to drink the tonic soup."
Xiao Tingyun: "......"
What can he do? I could only smile and nod without losing embarrassment.
After settling Prime Minister Gui, Xiao Tingyun handed over the security issues here to Lu Wei personally, and then left with Long Jiu and returned to Nebula College.
It was November when Long Jiu left Xuefuxing, and now it is already mid-January when he returns to Xuefuxing.
The Academy Planet before she left was still a world of ice and snow, but when she came back, it had turned into spring and summer again.
The winter in Xuefuxing is very short. It will be covered with snow as soon as November enters every year, but as soon as January of the following year arrives, the ice and snow immediately melt and enter spring and summer.
After two months of winter, the pink spruce trees on the roadside are in full bloom again, and when the breeze blows, the sky is covered with pink fallen flowers.
Nebula College is now almost empty, with only seniors from various departments remaining in the school honestly.
After being away for more than two months, Long Jiu just returned to the small villa when he saw 707 rolling over while screaming.
707: "My little master is finally back!!! It's been two months since you left, and I'm just such a pitiful little person that no one wants~~~~~"
Needless to say, although 707's cry was quite fake, it was very serious. Two tears as thick as two fingers appeared on the screen on his square face.
When Long Jiu saw its tears, the comfort on his lips suddenly turned into a cry: "Pfft-----!"
She didn't want to laugh unless she couldn't help it.
However, this uncontrollable laugh turned 707, who was still pretending to cry, into howling.
707 cried loudly and complained: "The little master has no heart. He has left poor little 7 for so long, and yet he still laughs at little 7."
Long Jiu was immediately howled by it, and quickly looked at Xiao Tingyun as if asking for help.
Xiao Tingyun was holding back his laughter. When he saw her looking at you, he slowly spoke: "707, it seems that you have taken good care of the house during our absence in the past two months. You are worthy of being the latest small housekeeping robot."
707's wailing voice became quieter.
Xiao Tingyun continued: "It is cleaned every day. It is very clean. There is no slovenliness at all like the owner has been away for two months."
707's wails gradually disappeared, leaving only fake sobs.
Xiao Tingyun pulled Long Jiu into the house, holding a suitcase in his other hand, and continued: "We just got off the starship, and now we are tired and hungry. Is there any food at home? If so Couldn't I trouble you to go to the Life Center to buy some ingredients?"
707 stopped sobbing, but his expression was still a little aggrieved. He said aggrievedly: "There are no ingredients at home, but Little 7 can buy them."
Xiao Tingyun smiled and said: "The troublesome and lovely little 7 has gone to the life center. We are too tired. Let's go upstairs to rest first. When you come back after buying the ingredients and cooking the meal, can you call us again?"
707 didn't even feel aggrieved now, a smile appeared on his square face, and two shy blushes appeared, and he said cheerfully: "Okay, Your Highness and the young master have a good rest. Xiao 7 will go to buy ingredients soon."
707 hummed a song and mumbled out of the door. The sight of his cheerful little back made Long Jiu's mouth twitch.
The little thing is so easy to coax.
As if hearing Long Jiu's thoughts, Xiao Tingyun pulled her upstairs and explained: "707 is a small housekeeping robot. Its core program is to serve and take care of its owner. As long as you arrange things for it to do, it will You will feel happy immediately.”
So 707 doesn't need any other comfort. As long as it is given a job, it can happily run in circles.
Long Jiu showed a learned expression, asking him how to comfort 707 after getting the correct method.
Although he had been away for more than two months, 707 took good care of the house. The bedroom was cleaned cleanly, and even the quilt on the bed showed signs of being taken to the yard to dry in the sun every day.
When Xiao Tingyun coaxed 707, he said he was tired and wanted to rest, but the two of them did not really rest. Long Jiu took a change of home clothes and ran to the bathroom to take a bath, while Xiao Tingyun opened the glass door and went Communication on the terrace.
There was a graduation assessment the day after tomorrow, and Xiao Tingyun had a lot to do. He first contacted his instructor to cancel his leave, and then chatted for a while about the details of the graduation assessment the day after tomorrow.
Xiao Tingyun is from the Mecha Combat Department. The graduation assessment is much more dangerous than that for students from other departments. The content of this assessment is different from the tasks he has received before. Instead, students who participate in the graduation assessment need to actually battlefield.
However, because of Xiao Tingyun's unusual status, his graduation assessment is more complicated than that of his classmates in the same department. During the assessment period, not only the academy will pay attention, but also the royal family and the military in the Imperial Capital Star.
When the communication with her tutor was finished, Long Jiu had already come out of the bath. While wiping her hair, she looked at Xiao Tingyun who turned off the communication and came back, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Tingyun shook his head and smiled, took the towel she was wiping her hair with, and then pushed her to sit on the bed. While wiping her hair instead, he said, "It's nothing. I just talked to the instructor for a while about the assessment the day after tomorrow."
Long Jiu lowered her head obediently and allowed him to serve him, and asked curiously: "What is the content of the assessment?"
Xiao Tingyun wiped his hands for a moment, then smiled lightly and said: "My assessment content is different from others. I will take a starship to report to Caesar Star in the fifth galaxy early the morning after tomorrow."
"Caesar Star of the Fifth Galaxy?" Long Jiu frowned and asked in confusion: "Are you going alone? Why do you want to go there?"
"Caesar is the planet closest to the space wormhole in the fifth galaxy, and it is also the planet where the Empire's Third Army is stationed." Xiao Tingyun smiled lightly: "There are often battles near the space wormhole in the fifth galaxy. Compared with the planet in the fifth galaxy, The chaos in the Sixth Galaxy is not much different. It is said that a group of star thieves are attacking the security fortress there recently. The space wormhole has been attacked several times. This time my graduation assessment is to go to the Third Legion and follow Together they fight against those star thieves."
Long Jiu nodded thoughtfully, but still felt it was wrong, "Are other people's assessments like this too?"
Xiao Tingyun smiled and shook his head: "That's definitely different. I don't know the content of their assessment, but it should be cleaning up after the war or participating in a small-scale pursuit of the Star Thief Group to attack the Star Thieves who are robbing families in various galaxies. "
Long Jiu immediately frowned and looked at him, "Then why does your assessment sound more dangerous?"
"Because I am the prince." Xiao Tingyun lowered his eyes and looked at her, smiling: "This graduation assessment is not only an assessment, but also to allow me to return to the Imperial City and enter the imperial court in a legitimate manner after graduation, so this assessment is said to be The assessment is actually for me to get a dazzling meritorious service before entering the court, to prove that I, the prince, am not just an illusion."
Long Jiu nodded suddenly, understanding.
To put it bluntly, it just requires His Highness Xiao Tingyun to prove his qualifications before officially entering the court meeting.
Long Jiu looked at him sympathetically and sighed: "It's really hard for you to be the prince."
Xiao Tingyun smiled at her with good temper and said shamelessly: "It is indeed very hard. I have worked so hard. Do you want to comfort me?"
The sympathetic look on Long Jiu's face suddenly changed. She narrowed her eyes slightly and asked meaningfully: "What comfort do you want?"
Xiao Tingyun smiled and leaned close to her ear, whispering something.
Long Jiu's expression turned strange. While looking at him strangely, he said, "Aren't you afraid that you will be weak when you take the exam in two days?"
Xiao Tingyun smiled and did not answer, but asked: "Then do you agree?"
Long Jiu looked at him for a while and then chuckled, "Is there anything I don't agree with? I won't be the one who gets ripped off anyway, but I still advise you to take it easy."
Upon hearing her words, the smile on Xiao Tingyun's face deepened, "Don't worry, it won't be empty."
