"Brother, are you back?"

You Che stood there quietly, emitting a chill.

If he had come a little later, this man would have been torn to pieces by the strange beast. When he thought of this result, anger surged in his heart.

"You are really capable. You actually dare to join the army." After leaving these cold words, he turned around and was about to leave.

Yan Li realized that the other party was angry, so he quickly got up and limped behind him.

Along the way, the two encountered a few strange beasts from time to time, but they were all dealt with by You Che before Yan Li had time to take action.

You Che was determined not to talk to Yan Li, and apart from killing the star beast on the way, he didn't say a word to him.

Yan Li wanted to speak several times, but was either interrupted by the strange beast or frightened by You Che's cold eyes.

However, his heart was also filled with grievances and sadness.

It was obvious that the other party had been gone for seven years, and now he came back without a word, and he still had to give him a hard time.

The more I thought about it, the more upset I felt.

No matter how hard the training was or how cruel the battlefield was over the years, he had never shed a tear. But now, just because someone ignored him, he felt sad and wanted to cry.

While he was daydreaming, he didn't notice that a strange beast was quickly attacking him.

Fortunately, You Che was quick-witted and quick-handed, and he got rid of the strange beast.

"Are you trying to kill yourself? Why are you standing here in a daze?" You Che's face was colder than ice.

Yan Li looked at the other person straight in the eye. He was now 1.82 meters tall and was no longer the short and skinny guy he used to be.

"Brother, why did you come back so late? I thought you forgot about me."

His voice was calm, yet it sounded shrouded in sadness.

A hint of apology flashed across You Che's face, and his tone softened a little, "Sorry, I was delayed a little bit because of something. I won't do it again next time."

Yan Li’s heart tightened. Will there be a next time?

How long will you be away next time?

But when he thought of his own identity, he felt a faint sense of sarcasm in his heart. Or was he too greedy? Wasn't his original wish just to have enough food and drink?

The other party gave him a good life, when did he have the right to question the other party?

He crossed the line.

"I'm sorry, brother. I shouldn't have asked you that. I'm glad you're back."

You Che seemed to sense the alienation in his words and couldn't help but frown. The anger that had just subsided seemed to slowly rise again.

He himself did not even realize that in front of Yan Li, he already had all kinds of emotions.

Even a small action or a word from the other party can easily get on his nerves.

The awkward atmosphere made the forest quiet again.

Speechless all the way.

On the way, the two met teammates who had been separated from Yan Li. When the others saw You Che, they all looked alert.

Fortunately, Yan Li helped You Che rationalize his identity, and these people gradually relaxed.

Afterwards, everyone cleared out the strange beasts in the area and took You Che back to the Second Legion’s base.

Because of his outstanding combat ability, You Che was approved by the legion leader to follow Yan Li's team to eliminate the remaining strange beasts.

It’s just that the atmosphere between the two of them has always been weird, distant yet polite.

You Che has always had this personality, so it’s not surprising. The problem is Yan Li.

He seemed to treat You Che as his real master. He was well-behaved and obedient, and would do whatever he asked.

Unfortunately, she is no longer as emotional as before, and has become arrogant because of her favor. Even her smile has become a little fake.

You Che noticed his change, but didn't say anything.

It's just that the whole person has become more indifferent.

Both of them seemed to be sulking, and neither of them was willing to compromise.

This battle lasted a total of one month.

After the warship set off back to the main planet, You Che made a request to Yan Li.

"What, you want me to retire?" Yan Li stood at the entrance of the Second Legion, looking at You Che in shock.

"It's okay if you don't want to. From today on, there will be no connection between us. After all, I said at the beginning that I only need someone who listens to me. Since you can't do that, there is no need for us to have any connection anymore."

You Che stood there quietly, making the severance of ties sound as easy as eating and drinking.

It was as if the person in front of him was an object that he could throw away at any time.

Yan Li's heart, which had already been restless, suddenly felt as if it was frozen.

He thought that after so many years, he would at least have a small place in the other person's heart.

Unexpectedly, there was not a trace at all.

There seemed to be a big hole in my heart, and all the longing I had for you day and night seemed like a joke at this moment.

Seven years had passed, and he had long since sorted out his feelings for You Che.

Even if it was gratitude and admiration for the benefactor at the beginning, this admiration had already changed after so many days and nights of missing him.

That’s right, he likes You Che.

Even though same-sex love is not mainstream nowadays, he knew clearly that he had fallen in love with You Che unknowingly.

But the other party's words just now shattered his love.

He clenched his fists, bit his lips until they turned white, and his whole body exuded a sense of sadness.

"I. Retire. From. Service." The leaves of the trees along the road rustled in the wind, and Yan Li said these words with difficulty.

It’s not that he is reluctant to leave the military life. If You Che talks to him nicely, he will definitely retire happily and return to him to be the little follower he used to be.

Instead of threatening him with such heartless words.

"Well, then go submit your application today. Once the matter is settled, contact me to pick you up."

Yan Li wanted to refuse, but when he thought of the sentence that he liked obedient people, he swallowed the words back.

Enduring the discomfort, he said, "Okay."

"If you're okay, I'll go in first." Yan Li looked at him steadily, with no expression on her face.

Such a polite tone made even the usually calm You Che angry.

"It's up to you." After saying this, he left without looking back.

Yan Li looked at the tall figure, her eyes filled with loneliness and sadness.

He smiled self-deprecatingly, completely hiding the love that had yet to be expressed.

From then on, he was just the other party's obedient follower.

The retirement report came down very quickly. Yan Li packed his luggage and used the light computer to contact You Che to pick him up.

Returning to the manor after being away for seven years, Yan Li felt both strange and familiar.

But, after all, things and people have changed.

The days after returning home are still as dull as before.

It's just that this blandness has changed its taste.

Yan Li is no longer lively, no longer calls You Che brother, and smiles less often, like an emotionless robot.

You Che initially thought that he was just sulking, but as time went by, he realized that the other person had really changed.

This realization made him even more irritable, and at the same time a trace of panic spread in his heart.

It felt like the things he cared about were about to slip out of his control.
