Capítulo 523: Chapter 523: Traveling Together
What Fu Xing detested even more was the attitude of the Grivard family, and what was more tragic was that, as the head of the family, he didn’t even have the stance to despise the Grivards. He could even understand the reasons behind their actions.
Thinking of this, Fu Xing buried his face in Lin Fu’s shoulder and said with a hint of coquetry in his voice, “Ah Foo, let’s always be like this.” The Ah Foo he adored was forever fearless, brave in resistance, sometimes tender-hearted, loyal to friends, and sincere with subordinates.
Lin Fu’s brain went blank for a moment, followed by an indescribable warmth. She couldn’t help but snuggle into his arms and said softly, “Okay!”
The two spent a long time on the observation deck, discussing some trivial matters of life. Lin Fu took the opportunity to have Fu Xing sign a series of unequal treaties.
Lin Fu took a sip of the drink, surprised by its pleasant taste, and satisfied, she took another sip, “What is this drink? I’ll buy it myself when I get back to the Military Academy.”
“It’s a rare plant extract from the Vega System, not available outside. I’ll send it to your dormitory when you get back to the Military Academy,” Fu Xing mused for a moment. “What you’re drinking now is my preferred sugar-free one, but there are other flavors.”
Lin Fu’s eyes lit up, “How many flavors are there?” She recalled that the biggest joy during her childhood living by the Artificial Sea was trying every flavor of drink, many bizarre tastes she still remembered vividly, yet she tirelessly enjoyed them.
But she had never tried them again since.
“At least over a hundred, I think! I haven’t tried them,” Fu Xing, uninterested in such things, was willing to try them all with his little wife. “Do you want to try?”
“Mhm!”
“Then let’s go to the Vega System! It’s the place of origin, with the most variety.”
“Really? Are we going to the Vega System now? Xu Jinglan and Ye Fei are both from the Vega System, and we had planned to visit their hometown before.” Lin Fu was excited, she couldn’t remember if she had been there before, but even if she had, it would be different now. The thought of going out to play, to travel, was so thrilling she wished she could arrive immediately.
Fu Xing nodded with feigned arrogance, “Mmm-hmm!”
“Shouldn’t you join up with the fleet? The Eighth Fleet is in the midst of quelling a rebellion, can they manage without you, the Supreme Commander?” She wanted to have fun but didn’t want to cause trouble for Fu Xing.
“It’s fine, just a minor rebellion. In fact, it’s never really been a job for the Eighth Fleet.”
“Alright then. I’ve heard that the Vega System has billions of plant species. It’s the most favored destination for professionals in botany, biology, and medicine.”
“More than that!” Fu Xing lifted Lin Fu’s loose hair, tucking it behind her ear, and smiled, “Smugglers, pirates, treasure hunters, and speculators all like to go there, too. The Imperial Technology Department’s second-biggest branch is located in the Vega System.”
Lin Fu understood, the development of the Vega System was somewhat like the New World during Earth’s era.
“However, you’ll have to follow me and learn about the various powers next, and try handling them.”
“But I still need to train, I haven’t used the simulation chamber for more than half a year, I’m afraid I’ll be laughed at if my grades fall drastically when I return to the Military Academy.”
“I can be your sparring partner in the simulation chamber,” Fu Xing said with a teasing smile on his lips, “I guarantee I’ll help you advance rapidly. The rest of the time, you’ll work on official duties with me.”
“Okay then!”
Knowing that laziness was out of the question, Lin Fu didn’t protest. Unless she no longer wanted to be with Fu Xing, the responsibilities that came with her were inescapable.
Speaking of studying, Fu Xing was even stricter than a Military Academy instructor, Song Zheng would be ashamed to see it.
