After five years of online dating, my wife thinks I'm a two-dimensional character?

After hearing what he said, Bai Luochuan actually became a little nervous.

He looked around again.

Once he was certain that all the Alphas had left and that no one would return to the area, he approached Qi Yu.

There was still a hint of tension.

Bai Luochuan asked hesitantly, "Can you really take me in? If this might have negative consequences for you, let's not do it. Anyway, there will be similar training later, so there will always be opportunities. I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qi Yu burst out laughing.

Seeing the big fox's smiling face, Bai Luochuan knew that he had been fooled by the fox again.

For a moment, I didn't know what kind of expression to make.

Bai Luochuan could only look into the fox's eyes, remain silent for a long time, and then give a somewhat helpless smile.

Shaking his head, Bai Luochuan sighed, "Don't scare me. This is your job. Although it's my job now too, I don't want to become a stumbling block in your career path at all."

Bai Luochuan's reminder was quite serious.

But Qi Yu showed absolutely no intention of being serious or proper like him.

She simply smiled and led Bai Luochuan inside the mecha.

During the process of getting into the cockpit.

He said to Bai Luochuan, "Brother, never overcomplicate things. Remember, if it weren't for you, no matter how much others tried to persuade me, I wouldn't have gone back to this job."

"So I have a lot of privileges during this job. Not to mention showing you these mechs, even if I were to actually pilot one and take you for a spin, it would all be within the bounds of what is permissible."

"Of course, the mechs used in this kind of training aren't that interesting either."

"When we have time off, I'll take my brother to see even better mechs. As the highest commander of the Empire, I still have my own personal mech."

"That one looks..."

“It will definitely be something that interests me more than this.”

Actually, it's the same choice as Bai Luochuan's.

Just as they had agreed beforehand.

Every decision they made was ultimately aimed at simply being together with each other.

Nothing else.

Then there's no reason to have too many concerns.

Understanding what Qi Yu meant, Bai Luochuan hesitated for a moment. Ultimately, he nodded and said nothing more.

The mecha's control room was much more spacious than I had imagined.

In addition to the driver's seat, there is also a passenger seat.

According to what he learned in class, Bai Luochuan knew that this was where the support staff needed to be. Based on their mech operation rules, even in emergencies or when going into battle, each mech required two people to be on board.

Bai Luochuan very consciously sat in the passenger seat.

Then he stared longingly at his big fox.

This was to wait for Qi Yu to get into the pilot's seat so they could demonstrate the mecha's operation process to him up close.

However, it was not quite what he expected.

Qi Yu did not sit down immediately.

Instead, he gently patted the driver's seat, gesturing for Bai Luochuan to come over.

Bai Luochuan blinked: "I..."

"Don't worry, I'm right here. Nothing will happen to you." Qi Yu shook his head, offering words of reassurance before Bai Luochuan could even speak.

His reassurance did put Bai Luochuan at ease.

Hesitate for two seconds.

Bai Luochuan chose to obey.

He took a deep breath and walked to the driver's seat and sat down.

Before you are various button options.

Standing beside him, Qi Yu looked at the contents of the control panel with him. He instructed Bai Luochuan to perform the most basic and simple operations, such as making the mecha move its arms and legs.

Try to keep everything in place.

It's just a basic attempt, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

This action continued for a while, and Bai Luochuan became quite interested.

It's like a child finding their favorite toy.

He was filled with curiosity about everything in front of him.

But after a while, Bai Luochuan realized something was wrong.

Looking back into Qi Yu's eyes, he frowned slightly and asked with some confusion, "There must be two people in the cockpit of the mecha. If that's the case, why were you all alone when I first met you? Where was your co-pilot? Did something happen to him?"

The "meeting" he was referring to was, of course, the time some time ago when he met the young fox through a "special date" in the game.

Qi Yu understood what he was trying to say.

But looking at Bai Luochuan's face, he could only manage a rather bitter smile.

With a soft sigh, Qi Yu didn't answer his question directly. Instead, he asked in return, "Brother, do you know why this two-person driving rule exists?"

In reality, all that's needed during mech piloting is the main pilot.

After all, there was no pause in the battle.

There wasn't much of an opportunity for any personnel changes to occur.

Bai Luochuan himself has experienced countless battles.

He was, of course, fully aware of this matter.

Now, when asked by Qi Yu, he couldn't come up with a reasonable answer for the time being.

So he slowly shook his head.

Bai Luochuan asked him, "Is it because... there were any problems when you were piloting the mecha alone?"

“Yes,” Qi Yu nodded, “During the flight, the pilot’s pheromones became disordered due to the prolonged battle, and he almost went berserk at the end of the battle, turning into a new disaster that would endanger the surrounding area.”

"And in the entire empire, there is only one mecha pilot who can reach that level. In everyone's eyes, he is more like the best weapon than a person."

“Damaging one mech is not important, but if such a perfect weapon is damaged, the cost to the Empire would be far too great.”

"Therefore, the passenger seat is less like a deputy and more like a doctor monitoring the driver's physical condition."

"For example, the disaster I just told you about that almost happened."

"If there had been another person inside the mech, giving the pilot an injection as quickly as possible might have stabilized his condition a little."

"The subsequent impacts will not be as significant as they actually are."

Qi Yu calmly recounted everything.

It was as if he was really just telling a story that had nothing to do with him.

However, because of their mutual understanding, and because Bai Luochuan was already quite concerned about Qi Yu's affairs.

So much so that Bai Luochuan realized it halfway through his sentence.

Perhaps for others, this is just a story.

But for his big fox, this was the accident that almost cost him his life.

It felt like my heart was being squeezed tightly by an invisible hand.

The sour and painful sensation made Bai Luochuan's eyes well up with tears.

Without saying much, he simply turned around and hugged Qi Yu's waist.

He nestled his head against the other person's chest.

After a moment of silence, Bai Luochuan asked, "Xiao Yu, do you like being a mecha pilot?"

Qi Yu shook his head: "It doesn't matter whether I like it or not, it's just work, I haven't thought about that."

Bai Luochuan chuckled and said, "Then you should teach me how to do it properly, and you'll be my deputy from now on. We'll be in the same mech, and if there's a minor accident, we'll handle it together. But if there's a serious accident, we'll die together, and neither of us will be left alone."

He didn't want his big fox to fight anymore.

Anyway, he had long been used to the bloodshed and the fighting.

So all he needs to do is rush to the front.

The big fox can hide behind him.

He can protect him.
