Su Yi suppressed her laughter and said, “I’ve been looking at it for a long time, and you just discovered it?”
What kind of image can a person, who hasn’t shaved, washed his face, slept for two days, and has been trekking through mountains and rivers in the wild and rolling in the mud countless times, look like?
She didn’t think anything of it when she saw him just now, but now she found his actions funny. Did he always think that he was still so handsome?
Huo Jun covered his face with his hands, trying to save the last bit of his handsomeness.
His voice was a little unclear, “I’ll shave first, and contact you later.”
“No contact later.” Su Yi said.
“Get some sleep and then come back to me, otherwise, I won’t talk to you.”
Seeing her say that, he had no choice but to agree and reluctantly disconnected the connection.
Su Yi put down the communicator, hummed a song, and went to wash up.
The military often has missions, and sometimes there is closed training. Huo Jun comes from a practical combat background and is always on the front line. He is much busier than when he was in the academy. It is common for him to lose contact with the outside world for several days in a row. However, as soon as the mission is over, the first thing he does is to find Su Yi first.
After a while, Su Yi gradually got used to his pattern of being silent for a few days and then suddenly coming back to life and also seeing someone with all kinds of sloppy looks.
This is quite strange. Huo Jun has always paid attention to his image in front of her. Even now, whenever he realizes that he has a scruffy beard, he subconsciously wants to cover his face. But every time a mission is over, he forgets to tidy himself up first, and instead, rushes to contact Su Yi as soon as possible.
This reminded Mao Tuan of a classic saying: People in love are all fools.
As the days passed, Su Yi welcomed her first winter in this world.
She has gradually become familiar with the girls in the academy. They occasionally go to and from school together, eat together, and chat about fashion, gossip, etc.
However, the topic often comes to her.
After all, she is engaged, and her fiancé is the only prince of the empire. In the eyes of those girls, this alone is enough for them to talk about it a hundred times without getting tired of it.
“Su Yi, Senior Huo has been in the military for almost two months, right? The academy will be on vacation soon. Do you want to go look for him?”
“You can’t just go to the military whenever you want.” Said another girl.
The girl from before said, “But Su Yi and Senior Huo are not ordinary people.”
“Yes.” Someone echoed, “Su Yi is the future princess consort. No matter how many rules the military has, she should be allowed to go through.”
Su Yi listened and wanted to say that you think too much. The princess consort sounds quite privileged, but even Prince Huo Jun has to struggle hard, so what special treatment can she get?
But she doesn’t need it. If she wants to see Huo Jun, there is always a way, and she doesn’t need to alarm anyone.
“Wow, it’s so cold.”
“Oh my god, my teeth are chattering.”
Several people left the teaching building. A gust of cold wind blew, and the girls shivered immediately.
The winter in the Capital Star is usually not very cold, and many girls still wear short skirts to and from school.
However, the weather was fine in the morning, but the temperature suddenly dropped and snow even fell from the sky, catching everyone off guard.
Su Yi was wearing a thick coat and didn’t feel anything, but the girls in skirts didn’t care about their manners at the moment and stamped their feet to keep warm.
“Su Yi, you are still smart. No, I won’t go. I want to take the car back.”
But in this kind of weather, other people didn’t want to walk and even had to queue up to call a hovercraft, so many people had to huddle in the cold wind.
In the crowd that looked like quails, Huo Jun’s appearance was particularly conspicuous.
He was wearing a military uniform, which was different from the school uniform style in the academy. It was a formal military uniform, with leather boots on his feet, which made him look broad-shouldered, long-legged, tall, and handsome.
He got off the hovercraft and scattered snowflakes fell on his shoulders. He leaned on the car and looked at Su Yi.
“Oh my god, so handsome.”
“Su Yi, Senior Huo is here to see you.”
“He looks so good in his military uniform.”
The girls looked at him blankly, with envy on their faces.
“Wow, why don’t I have such a handsome boyfriend? I don’t even need him to be a prince, as long as he is half as handsome as Senior Huo.”
Su Yi was also a little surprised. She said goodbye to the girls and ran toward Huo Jun.
Huo Jun pulled her into the car directly and did not let go after that. He held her hand in his palm and covered it.
Su Yi looked at him carefully.
Although they often met through video, there was some difference between the virtual image and the real person.
“Why did you come here suddenly?”
The two of them had not contacted each other for three days. Su Yi knew that he was busy. She had been waiting for the communicator to ring, but she didn’t expect him to suddenly come over.
Huo Jun smiled and said, “I applied for two days of vacation. Is it cold?”
Su Yi shook her head, “Not bad.”
Huo Jun then realized that her eyes were always on his face. He instinctively wanted to touch his chin. He stretched his hand halfway and then stopped.
He glanced at his face in the rearview mirror with the corner of his eye and then said confidently: “Remember to shave this time.”
Su Yi smiled and nodded.
Did he remember?
Perhaps it was more than that.
When she got close to him, she smelled a faint woody scent on him. He never used to wear perfume before. He really tried hard to save his image.

The author has something to say:
Male lead: I think I am handsome with a beard, really.
