Episode Four

Leto's starport has once again returned to its bustling state, with civilian starships of different weight classes entering and exiting according to their respective orbits, in an orderly fashion. Occasionally, military starships with shield and sword insignias would pass by, heading towards nearby military ports.
It has been confirmed that Lu Fenghan's transfer order and appointment letter will take effect after the establishment day next year. After that, all military affairs in the Central Administrative Region will be handed over to him.
Due to Lu Fenghan's impeccable performance in all aspects, there is rare unanimous approval within the military for Nie Huaiting's arrangement. Even those who want to oppose the appeasement faction will not do so at this juncture.
Lufeng Han did not intend to refute Nie Huaiting's suggestion, just like what the prophecy said, given his current situation, he has no other choice. Moreover, it would be best if Qiyán, as the Chief of the White Tower, protected him himself.
Given that most of the military high-ranking officials at his level are almost twice his age, Lu Fenghan can be said to be an outstanding figure. Solely based on his age, appearance, and emotional state, he has become the most popular and highly regarded general in the recent alliance. The Leto Daily wishes they could embed his name on the front page every day.
This also makes him feel uneasy when traveling, especially in crowded places, so he has to use virtual facial features to avoid being recognized.
In the crowd, Lufeng Han holds Qiyans hand and asks him, "Do you feel uncomfortable with this face now?"
"No," Qiping said, wearing a light beige hoodie, looking very casual. He was afraid that Lu Fenghan might not hear him if he spoke too softly, so he leaned in and whispered, "I'm very familiar with General's microexpressions, subtle movements, the tone and emphasis in his speech, the frequency of his breaths, the size of his steps, and the proportions of his body. So even if General changes his face, I can still recognize him at a glance."
A smile crossed the depth of Lu Fenghan's eyes as he thought happily: "This explanation sounds even better than sweet words."
The two seats were connected together, and after boarding the ship, Lu Fenghan first activated the safety devices of the prayer seats, and then double-checked before starting to deal with his own.
The low noise of the starship running echoed in her ears, reminding Qiyu of her time on the frontlines: "The frequency of this noise is lower than that of the command ship."
"Yes, the efficiency of the command ship is dozens of times higher than that of civilian starships, so the noise is louder. However, people easily become accustomed to it." Lufenghan playfully pinched Qiyu's cheeks, "Yanyan hasn't experienced interstellar jumps for a long time."
Quinn only remembered the prophecy now, from the Reef Nebula to Lato City, he experienced severe disorientation during interstellar jumps. The crew was so scared that they placed a medical robot next to his seat as a precaution. Later, when he traveled from the White Tower to the frontlines, he also experienced dizziness. Translated:
Unconsciously, he completely forgot about the dizziness of interstellar jumps.
It wasn't until reminded by Lu Fenghan that he became aware of this little issue.
The starship started, sailing along the civilian channel. After a slight turbulence, it emerged from the atmosphere. Suddenly, the entire starship felt lighter. At the same time, through the portholes, he could already see the floating metal debris on both sides of the channel, some new and some old.
The old ones originated from the destruction caused by technology, while the new ones were left behind by the post-war forces of the Alliance and the Rebel Army.
However, with the passage of time, the new and old alike will gradually become "historical relics".
没过多久，星舰的行驶速度明显减缓，祈言望着舷窗外的景象，问：“是不是到枫丹一号附近了？”
陆封寒点头：“没错，这里是这条航道离枫丹一号最近的地方。”
It seems to be an unwritten agreement that after the recovery of the Le'to Star Harbor, every starship passing by the wreckage of Maple One would decelerate and activate external lighting, facing the slowly drifting black crystal in space, as a gesture of respect.
There will always be sacrifices, painfully deep.
After passing through two consecutive jump gates, the starship has now left Letho far behind and reached the edge of the Central Administrative Region.
Countless distant starlights traveled for thousands of miles, reflecting in people's eyes.
The power engine restarted, and the indicator lights in the cabin gradually emitted a faint glow. Lu Fenghan caught a glimpse of the faint tooth marks lingering along the edge of Qiyuan's exposed clavicle, and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Subconsciously, he touched himself and muttered, "It didn't hurt, but it felt really itchy at the time."
甚至现在回想起来，那种痒意依然会顺着他的骶椎往上窜，激起身体深处的颤栗。
Qiyang's skin is delicate and pale, and the marks left on it are always hard to fade. After raising the partition to completely block the view from outside, Lufeng Han took out the healing gel he always carried with him. He leaned in and applied a layer onto the marks left on his skin, carefully smoothing it out.
The seat is not spacious, and Lu Fenghan is too close. Qi Yan feels that with each breath, it is filled with the unique scent belonging to this person.
In addition, Lu Fenghan's rough fingertips are stained with healing gel, repeatedly rubbing against the skin around the collarbone. Qi Yan's breath quickens, unable to hold back, and kisses Lu Fenghan's sharp lips.
In the cramped and concealed space, Lu Fenghan handed over the initiative to Qiyanshou, allowing him to bite his lower lip lightly with his teeth, gradually prying open his teeth. Please note that @ matches do not have a specific meaning in this context and hence they do not need to be kept in the translation.
Waiting for the divination to slowly open his eyes, he emitted a discontented "huh" while his eyelashes hung down. It was only when Lu Fenghan pinched his waist that he took control and fiercely kissed back. Translated:
Until the light dimmed again, Lu Fenghan finally stopped and asked softly, "Do you like it?"
With lips that had been kissed turning slightly open, Qiyuan took a quick breath and took a few seconds before answering, "I like it."
他嗓音哑，尾音还在发着抖，让陆封寒听得血液里躁意更盛，却只能强制按捺，用拇指反复摩挲祈言湿润柔软的下唇，眸色极深。
Just as Lu Fenghan was about to retract his hand, the prophecy twisted its head and bit onto his fingertips.
After the starship landed on the Lu Yuan Star, instead of heading directly to the mountain peak made of crystal stones, the two of them took a hovercar to their place of residence first.
After that, Pojun was kept outside the door for the entire afternoon, not allowed to enter.
The sky had already turned pitch black, in the room, Qiyuan was lying on the bed wrapped in a black silk robe, with the ends of his hair still damp. His lips were excessively red, the marks on his collarbone had not disappeared yet, and there were new ones added.
Lufeng Han sits by the edge of the bed, holding a cup and feeding him water.
She thought that Qiyuan was exhausted, with his eyelids almost closing, and that he would just lean over and fall asleep. But to her surprise, the next second, his arm wrapped around her neck again, his gaze unfocused, and his lips, wet with water, kissed her once more.
Lu Fenghan gently kissed Qian Qian, delicately pinching her chin with two fingers. "Do you not want to go out and play tomorrow? Be a good girl."
Qian Qian's closed eyes were perfectly defined, with a slight uplift at the corners that revealed a hint of beauty. She opened her eyes and looked at Lu Fenghan, her gaze clear and calm as she replied in a soft voice, "General, I don't want to go tomorrow."
Lu Fenghan's hand tightened, and he heard himself say, "Alright, we won't go tomorrow."
