[comprehensive] with you

special feeling.

After all, since he was a child, he was instilled with the idea that "the meaning of his existence is to protect the [nuclear] and the island", so the Chief Scholar has basically never paid much attention to his private affairs.

Even if he actually always remembered that this day was his birthday.

Just because, that's all.

As usual, he was woken up by Yiqi, and then the chief officer went to the bathroom to freshen up and organize his grooming—because he was going back to Alvis temporarily recently, so the chief officer naturally changed back to the uniform for commuting in Alvis.

It was still a white uniform belonging to the underage group.

In fact, according to the concept of human beings, from today onwards, the Chief Scholar is already 21 years old-in Japanese traditional culture, 20 years old is the boundary of adulthood-according to Alvis's regulations, members who have reached the age of [-] years old must Put on the gray-faced uniforms with a blue background for the adult group.

However, the chief officer didn't intend to change his uniform before Yiqi woke up.

Even the Chief Scholar himself doesn't know how long he can exist as a human being.

I don't know how long my [future] can last.

The only fortunate thing is that I can see Yiqi again before my existence as a [human being] is exhausted.

But what does it mean that [asset] represents [future]?

Obviously Yiqi he is here [now], why do I always feel a little uneasy from time to time?

If Yiqi is at this time [now], he is here...

So, what about in [the future]?

Unlike Festum's world, in the human world, the passage of time is constant.In other words, even if no one takes action, time will still be consumed.

——Then, why should his [future] be sent to him in this form?

Do you want to protect [the present] with [the future]?

The drowsy head that was still remnant of sleep gradually started to work because of these thoughts, and looked at himself in the mirror with an expressionless expression, and the chief raised his hand to touch his uniform with a white background.

I have to say, this kind of self feels quite abrupt.

"So, wake up quickly, Yiqi." The chief sergeant prayed in such a soft voice that he could hardly hear him, his eyes slightly drooping.

This is Zong Shi's own birthday wish.

[Boss, how are you? ]

Out of respect for the chief's privacy, he didn't follow into the washroom, but seeing that the chief hadn't come out at this time, knowing that the other party was the type who didn't wake up easily in the morning, Yiqi finally couldn't help looking in worriedly. He raised his voice and asked: [Should I go back to sleep in it again? ]

Because of Yiqi's call, the thoughtful gray-blue eyes completely turned away from the mirror image.

Afterwards, the Chief Scholar, who had finished washing long ago, walked out of the bathroom as if nothing had happened, while retorting Yiqi's seemingly redundant worry with a half-smile: "How is that possible?"

The author has something to say: Because this time the length is a bit long, so I disconnected

Before you know it, it's Thursday again, and tomorrow is Friday...

Friends, are your stomach medicines ready?

At that time, after eating the knife at the original work, welcome friends to come to my place to drink sugar water~

☆, 48-Promise you a [future]

【48—Promise you a [future]】

anyway.

Even if the person concerned doesn't care much, it doesn't seem to affect everyone's concern about it...or enthusiasm.

After all, for any [human being], the birthday is the beginning of the form of [existence] that each acquires from this world.

It is the day when I was [born a man].

Similar to usual, the chief officer starts his work day in his research institute.

Since the device that maintains Yiqi's body is really not easy to move casually, the chief is planning to keep Yiqi's body in his research institute, and he will check the situation of Yiqi every day before going back Alvis is on duty over there.

On the way to the research institute, or even passing by the headquarters of the survival circle, the chief officer will receive birthday wishes from subordinates or colleagues from time to time, and some are hesitant to say something, hesitate to say something or give something people.

Not to mention, after returning to Alvis, the chief received even more greetings and congratulations... In the end, even the host came to join in the fun, just to say "Happy Birthday" to the chief ——It is estimated that if it is not because of the discipline during the work period and the inconvenient gift giving, maybe the boss's hands are already full of large and small gifts at this moment.

"Boss, you are really popular and loved by everyone!"

After "surrounding" the whole process in the parallel space, Mr. Kazuki Makabe smiled lightly and made such an exclamation.

Hearing Yiqi's testimonials clearly, as the protagonist of the day, the Chief Scholar, who is actually not good at such occasions, could only cast a slightly depressed look at the other party.

In fact, it would be a lie to say that he was not moved by everyone's enthusiasm—it's just that the boss has long been used to restraining his emotions, so he didn't show it clearly.

Of course, for everyone's enthusiasm and kindness, the general staff has returned a serious thank you.

However, there was a small problem during the period——

I don't know if it was because of too much restraint that when I came to [Financial Street] and no one else congratulated me on my birthday, the chief was actually a little relieved.

"It's a good thing that Vision is not on the island..." Otherwise, it would definitely be exposed and made fun of - this can be said to have been awakened by the chief.

"Speaking of..." Hearing Zong Shi's low-pitched exclamation in an almost "survival after disaster" tone, Yiqi mentioned it in a daze as if he suddenly remembered something, "Zong Shi, do you still mind the recording of Vision?"

Hearing Yiqi mention this matter at this time, Zongshi paused with his eyes blank, finally nodded and decided to tell the truth: "To be honest, I really mind."

Yiqi showed a "sure enough" look in his eyes, and said, "Don't worry about it, Mr. Yuan, because she just reminded me that today is your birthday."

As soon as the words fell, the chief officer's eyes widened and he was stunned, "My... birthday?"

Seeing the rare expression on Zongshi's face, Yiqi pursed his lips and smiled helplessly, "Did you really forget?"

"No." The chief officer who quickly adjusted his expression shook his head slightly, and said honestly, "I'm just wondering what this has to do with my birthday."

"Yes!" Yiqi immediately responded confidently, "Now I seem to be a lot slower in time, although I remember [December 27 is your birthday, Zongshi], but from time to time I forget [that day is December 27th]——In this case, I will not have time to prepare presents!"

After listening to Yiqi's long explanation, the chief officer nodded as if he had caught some clues, and then expressed his inference in a dazed tone: "So, Yiqi you yesterday...in order to consider giving me Are you worried about my birthday present?”

"Eh?" Caught off guard by the current speech that he had been arrested a long time ago, Yiqi was instinctively taken aback.It took a long time to look at it and he regained his senses. After that, Yiqi looked away a little bit, and muttered in frustration: "What... so you have discovered it a long time ago..."

Seeing Yiqi showing such a little unwillingness, the chief finally had a little joy in his heart to make back his sentence.

Immediately, even the Chief Scholar himself felt: how childish he is.

And just when Zongshi and Yiqi were about to say something, the stall owner's carefree voice suddenly came.

"Come here, birthday star, let's have a bowl of Longevity Noodles! You will be blessed and live longer after eating. The special reception in our store is absolutely free. It's a rare opportunity!"

A set of marketing phrases came out as soon as he opened his mouth, and the stall owner who walked quickly put a bowl of hot noodle soup in front of the boss.

He looked at the noodles on the table, and then looked at the person who brought the bowl of noodle soup—this custom, he had seen from the records of the old times, so he was not completely unfamiliar with it ——He was just a little curious: "Do you know the stall owner?"

The stall owner grinned, and readily handed over the answer: "Yiqijun said it."

"Yiqi...?" While speaking, the pensive Chief Scholar naturally turned his head to look at Yiqi, and Yiqi responded with a smile.

In an instant, joy quietly rose from his heart, softening the corners of the chief's mouth.

"However, today's highlight is still waiting for you, Mr. Chief."

Ignoring the chief officer's bewildered expression, the stall owner winked and said this, still in an unscrupulous and ambiguous manner.

- Completely another Mizoguchi uncle.

This is the voice of Zongshi and Yiqi.

*****************

On [Financial Street] today, since there was no [transaction] arrangement, Zongshi and Yiqi lived very peacefully and steadily.

During the period, Yiqi asked Zongshi what his birthday wish was.

"That wish is the same as last year." The chief replied in this way.

Yiqi frowned, "So, what was last year's birthday wish?"

The chief officer replied with a half-smile: "Once you say your birthday wish, it won't work."

"So you would believe this legend..."

He muttered and complained, and soon realized that it was just the other party's excuse. In an instant, Yi Qi felt that he was slightly bullied by the other party.

While chatting nonchalantly for a while, he came back from the Madison Square, when the chief was about to go back, Yiqi suddenly said: "By the way, since everyone gave the chief a birthday present, it should be It's my turn."

"Yiqi, you want to give me...a gift?" The chief officer was obviously very surprised.

You know, although they are separated by a parallel space, in the eyes of the chief, they are almost inseparable from him. Logically, there should be no way to prepare gifts without being noticed by him.

Besides, if it is not through the round window on the card, it is not impossible for Yiqi to touch any existence in the real world-then, where is the gift?

Therefore, when Yiqi suddenly mentioned this matter, Lian Lian did not consciously look forward to it.

I saw Yiqi took out a large red silk ribbon, put it on the back of his neck, and quickly wrapped it around the knot under his nose.After tying up a fluffy and beautiful big bow, Yiqi stepped a few steps closer to Zongshi, and said to Zongshi with a smile on his face, "Happy birthday! Here you are."

"... Huh?" The chief was instantly dumbfounded.

"It's a birthday present." Yiqi's smile seemed to be shining brightly.

In contrast to Yiqi who seemed to be shining as a matter of course, Zongshi slowly became expressionless in this situation.

"...Are you giving me yourself as a birthday present, Yiqi?" Zong Shi asked very seriously.

Yiqi was stunned when he heard the words, and asked sincerely in doubt: "Is it not possible?"

Ignoring Yiqi's question, the chief remained silent for a while, and then asked calmly, "Yiqi, who taught you this method?"

Yiqi raised a bright smile again, and readily handed over the answer: "The stall owner."

"Staller, you..." In the whisper, half of the chief officer's face suddenly darkened.

Because of the boss, he began to seriously consider: Do you want to initiate a [transaction application] to someone?

on the other hand.

Seeing Zongshi's gloomy face and no other reaction for a long time, Yiqi's smile gradually subsided. At the end, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, and asked softly, "Sir?"

——Could it be...the chief doesn't like this kind of birthday gift?

Thinking of this possibility, Yiqi suddenly became uneasy about his own self-assertion.

Quickly noticing Yiqi's downcast expression, the chief clerk blushed slightly and coughed dryly.After calling back Yiqi's attention, he asked him with as straight a face as possible: "Yiqi, do you know what you mean?"

"Give [the future] to you."

Quickly suppressing the uneasy expression just now, Yiqi spoke simply and briskly.

As soon as the voice fell, the chief officer was stunned on the spot, which seemed unexpected.

On the other hand, Yiqi continued to explain as earnestly as possible: "The me now is not only your [asset], Chief Sir, but also represents your [future], Chief Chief. Therefore, put I myself gave it to you, Chief Scholar, isn’t that just giving you the [future]?”

After Yiqi said this innocently and frankly, the atmosphere between the two fell silent for five seconds.

"So that's what it means..." After understanding it, the chief officer was obviously relieved, and he seemed to let go of his inexplicable guard, and the angles of his eyebrows and mouth were softened by a smile.

Although he didn't quite understand what the chief was nervous about just now, but seeing that the chief understood his intentions, Ikki nodded his head vigorously and looked at Mingliang with smiling eyes from the bottom of his heart, he was really happy.

"Thank you, Yiqi." The smiling chief raised his hand to caress Yiqi's hair, his movements were gentle and tender; the eyes that stared at Yiqi felt gentle and cherished, as if they were gleaming and moist Light, "I like this gift very much."

"That's really great!" Seeing that the gift he gave was accepted by the other party, Yiqi finally showed a bright smile again when he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then, let's unwrap the presents, sir!" Yiqi sincerely suggested to the chief with an expectant smile.

Although he corrected his mentality, hearing Yiqi's suggestion still made Zong Shi unconsciously excited.

The gray-blue eyes fell on the big red silk bow tied on Yiqi's collar with some hesitation, and the owner of these eyes suddenly became tense in silence, feeling inexplicably distracted.

——Calm down, Yiqi has no other meaning to him!Be calm, be upright!

With his hands that were a little stiff, he put his hands on the two slings of the bow, and while trying to convince himself in his heart, the chief officer gently pulled the ties.

The handsome face seemed calm, but in fact, those gray-blue eyes were trembling slightly, as if trying to restrain something, and even the hands that were moving were slightly trembling.

Moreover, Yiqi didn't know if it was his own illusion: Zongshi's face looked... a little red?

While raising his head slightly to facilitate the opponent's movements, while quietly and aboveboardly watching the opponent who is working hard, Yiqi couldn't help but tilt his head a little suspiciously because of his discovery.

After much difficulty, the Chief Scholar finally managed to untie the uncomplicated big bow on Yiqi's neckline with a slightly slow movement.

As if a huge project had been completed, the chief officer obviously let out a sigh of relief exhausted.

And when Zongshi pulled off the big red ribbon, Yiqi seemed to remember a certain confusion before, so he frowned slightly and chatted: "Although the stall owner gave me this idea at the time , that’s not the reason.”

The chief was a little curious, so he casually raised his eyes and asked, "Then what did he say?"

"The stall owner said... um..."

Yiqi frowned and rolled his eyes, tried his best to recall the situation at that time, and finally recounted the words that he heard confused at the time——

"After you send yourself out, Mr. Yiqi, Mr. Zongshi will naturally understand..."

Slowly repeating that sentence, at the end, as if confirming his own memory, Kazuki nodded seriously, and concluded firmly: "...the original words are like this, um, that's right."

As soon as the words fell, the chief officer froze instantly again, and his expression subtly darkened again.

——Sure enough... let’s make a [transaction application]!

☆, 49-Full of variables, but promising future

【49—Full of variables, but hopeful future】

Since he was going to return to Alvis for a while to perform his duty, even the Chief Sergeant, who had been away from Alvis for a period of time, needed to grasp the situation as soon as possible.

Therefore, the first is to visit.

The first stop was undoubtedly Alvis' medical room.

Because that day happened to be the day when the chief sergeant went for a regular inspection.

Because in the survival circle, the Chief Soldier is more like the general commander of the united front like the original General Naren, so that he has fewer opportunities to be directly responsible for tactical command.

However, after returning to Dragon Palace Island, he was still mainly responsible for the tactical command of the Favna team and the control of the [Siegfried] system as before.

"Finally, I can take a break for a while." Saying this, Kenji Kondo stretched his waist unceremoniously, as the person in charge of the general's regular physical examination and the second operator of the [Zigfried] system.

Seeing that Jiansi seemed to be lazy, Sakura, the third operator of the system, could only sigh, leaning on his forehead, and sighed in a low voice, "Jiansi, you bastard!" ..."

And the first operator of the [Siegfried] system, Chief Scholar, replied seriously: "It's been hard work, Sir Jian."

The reason why Sakura also appeared here was because she needed to report to the combat commander of the Valrhona team, that is, the chief officer, about the new batch of Excalibur-type Valrer pilots.

So, in Alvis's medical room, the Chief Officer saw the information of the new batch of driver candidates by the way.

Although the battle between all human beings in the world and Festum has generally come to an end, in order to protect the hometown and prevent the small part of Festum affected by the Azazel type from attacking, it is necessary for soldiers to be on standby, which also makes the replacement and selection of new fighters an important task. inevitable.

When introducing these children, Sakura, the instructor, was very proud.

You know, as a teacher, she tried her best to take into account all the situations she could consider as a reference to the drivers of the previous three periods.

Treating each junior, she has exhausted all the patience and ability she can think of and can do, to teach, love, and guard. Now that the children can perform outstandingly, she certainly has enough reasons Proud, and gratified.

The chief listened carefully to each of Sakura's reports.

While listening to Sakura's report throughout the whole process, Yiqi who had been staying in the parallel space honestly sighed in a daze: [Wow...it looks amazing...]

With his own excellent multi-line parallelism, he could hear the uncertain tone in Ichiki's words, and the chief officer with a motionless expression knew that even if Ichiki had finished listening to Sakura's introduction, he was actually paying attention as always. disconnected.

——Fortunately, she can't see or hear, otherwise she will definitely be very angry again.

It's an unsurprising development...but it feels like it's subtly reassuring myself.

The chief was wandering for a while.

—Probably... this is the true nature of Yiqi, right?

As soon as he rides him, it is like this, and it should be like this.

Thinking of this, the chief officer's expression softened quietly.

On the other hand, he didn't notice the slight distraction of the chief officer, and immediately lowered his eyes slightly, and even his voice became a little low: [I really hope they never have the chance to fight...]

Listening to Yiqi's words, although Zongshi seemed to have no expression on his face, he still murmured to himself as if feeling something: "I hope they will never have the chance to fight...?"

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is interested——the moment the chief uttered the words, Sakura and Jiansi shuddered at the same time.

"What's the matter with you?" The reaction of the two of them was too great, and it was not easy for the chief to pretend not to see it.

"It's really rare to hear you say such a thing, Chief." It seemed that Sakura was quite frightened.

"However..." Jiansi's shoulders slumped, "It probably won't work."

Hearing Jian Si's words, Zong Shi and Yi Qi who were in the parallel space both sank.

The Chief Sergeant lowered his voice and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

**********************

"A new type of Festum?"

In the meeting room of Alvis, the chief officer, and Yiqi in the parallel world also listened to the latest information about Festum from the [Solomon] system.

The chief sergeant asked calmly, "What do Miu and Emily say about this?"

At the end of the battle that year, General Naren died unfortunately.Due to the end of the war, Yuuzi also passed away and rested in peace because of the end of her mission.When Maya and Mitsuhiro both need to travel frequently, the young Miwa is entrusted to Emily, who is the leader of Esperanto, to take care of her.

It seemed that he had expected this question from the Chief Sergeant long ago. As the commander, Shi Yan always answered cautiously: "Unknown."

The chief frowned, and asked: "What do you mean?"

Shi Yan explained without any ups and downs: "Mei Yu and the others said that this time Festum did not show any kindness or malice, as if it was still in a disagreement. Since we don't know the specific hiding place, we currently have no Just wait and see."

Feeling that the atmosphere seemed to be a little condensed, Jiansi put away his previous seriousness and put on his usual good-natured appearance to comfort the other two people present who were always thinking about the overall situation: "Since Xiao Meiyu and Emily both said that they can only wait and see If we don’t want to change, then we can relax a bit and do what we can do well.”

What Jian Si said was also reasonable, and the eyebrows of Zong Shi and Shi Yan also loosened.Shi Yan gave a small nod in agreement, and the chief officer smiled casually, and replied casually: "It's true."

Afterwards, Shi Yan left the meeting room first because there was something else to do elsewhere, and the rest of the Chief Scholar and Jiansi walked and chatted unhurriedly——

Looking up and down at the uniform of the Chief Sergeant, Jian Si asked delicately: "Speaking of which, what are you planning to change your uniform, Chief Sergeant?"

Obviously they are of the same age - well, strictly speaking, the guy Zongshi is a few months younger than them, but he is also of the same age - everyone else has been replaced with blue and gray stripes only the chief sergeant is still wearing that white uniform...

To be honest, it feels a bit garish.

Speaking of which, this is not the first time that Jiansi has raised this question, and the Chief Scholar is still saying the same thing as before: "After Yiqi wakes up, the two of us will change together to avoid trouble."

"As you like." Jiansi lazily shrugged his shoulders, and didn't plan to entangle this issue any more—anyway, it's not that Yiqi is just in a strange different space now, and Zongshi also I'm actively trying to find a way to bring Yiqi back, aren't I?

That's right, the thing about "one ride in that magical space called [Financial Street]" is basically no secret of the excalibur-type Valrhona pilot group.

At the moment when the regular inspections have been completed and things have been discussed by the way, before parting, Jiansi suddenly stopped the chief who was about to leave and entered the dormitory: "Ah, yes, chief, there is one more thing."

"Huh?" Since it was a comrade in arms of the same period and a small relationship, the chief soldier stopped and turned around, but it was very informal to pick his eyes.

Jian Si smiled and asked him: "It's almost New Year's day... What program do you have for this New Year's Day?"

Being suddenly reminded by Jiansi, the chief soldier and Yiqi in the parallel space were all stunned.

——What a good question.

After returning to his dormitory in Alvis, the chief officer seemed to have sensed something, and then sighed in a low voice in a daze: "It turns out that a year has passed so quickly..."

The author has something to say: Today's first update...

Because of my physical condition, I lay dead for several days before, so today I have to write almost [-] words...

good luck……

The reply to the message and the Bawang ticket will have to wait until I finish writing the update, please wait a little longer... I'm really sorry...

☆、50-New Year's Eve

【50——New Year's Eve】

new Year.

Unlike the Christmas that Zongshi and Yiqi had spent together in the [Financial Street], they were born and raised on Dragon Palace Island, where it is their responsibility to protect and inherit [Peace] and [Traditional] excellent culture. The islanders They will naturally attach great importance to the New Year.

******************

"kimono?"

After seeing clearly the contents of the two bags in Suzuna's hand—it seemed that they were brought here specially, after that, the chief seemed to be in a bit of a situation.

"It's for you, Zongshi-kun, and the New Year's kimono for Ichiki-kun." As if the enlightenment of Zongshi-kun was already within her expectations, Suzuna explained enthusiastically, "It's just that, because I don't know about Ichiki-kun's new year's kimono." Has Jun's body shape changed, so I can only use the last recorded size..." After speaking, her tone obviously felt a little regretful because she couldn't be perfect.

——It is a gift that embodies the blessings of the elders on the island.

Quickly comprehending this meaning, the chief officer no longer refuses, carefully puts away the clothes for Yiqi, and at the same time nods politely: "Thank you, Auntie Lishang."

There is still a reason for the chief minister to accept the kimono so obediently.

Although Yiqi now brings his own clothes, kimonos are generally looser, so even if Yiqi is in this state, he can still wear this kimono.

As for his own share?

— By the way.

The chief thinks so himself.

*************

In fact, not only the real world is preparing for the New Year, but even the magical different space [Financial Street] is also beginning to prepare for this day.

Because this [Financial Street], which has undergone integration, has mixed races, even if it is also the New Year, the decoration style is inexplicably mixed.

However, this is not the point of the matter.

Perhaps because it is a new year, most [entrepreneurs] put aside their enthusiasm for [deals] for the time being.

Walking on [Financial Street], Zongshi and Yiqi once again saw the bustling situation of preparing for Christmas.

"The kimono made by Auntie Ligami herself." Putting the clothes back carefully into the bag, Ichiki solemnly told the chief officer, "Remember to thank Auntie Ligami for me, sir."

The chief nodded.

In fact, even if Yiqi doesn't say anything, the Chief Scholar will - what's more, the current Yiqi is basically inseparable from the Chief Scholar, and what the Chief Scholar has done is basically impossible to hide from Yiqi.

"Then, let me put away the clothes for the time being, sir." He decided on this matter in a natural tone, and then turned around and asked his own [entrepreneur], "Hey, sir, What are your plans for the new year?"

The Chief Sergeant thought about it seriously, and replied, "I'm going to be a guest at your house."

Yiqi was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and his expression softened quietly.He smiled and said to the chief: "Thank you."

Thank you for being able to accompany Dad and him for me.

As a result, on the afternoon of New Year's Eve, the Chief Sergeant who had just stepped out of Alvis's dormitory was immediately dragged to Sakura's house by the members of Favna's team.

——It turned out to be pounding rice cakes.

"You guys, don't waste food!" Sakura turned around after teaching the juniors who were playing a little crazy, and after seeing the scene in front of her, she shook her head and sighed at Jiansi's performance like iron, "Jiansi You guy, it seems that you have been in the infirmary for a long time, so do you lack exercise..."

I saw Jiansi swinging the wooden mallet used to beat the rice cake embryos, trying to slow down, it seemed that he was exhausted, and he was too tired to refute Sakura's disgust.

The chief calmly pushed his glasses and said, "Change to me."

After that, he took the rather heavy wooden mallet from Jiansi, raised his arms silently, and beat the ball of rice cake with full strength, making a deep muffled sound.

[Boss, I didn't expect you to be able to do this...it's really amazing...]

Yiqi sighed dumbfounded.

It's not that Yiqi's eyes have their own filters - the powerful and neat posture of the chief officer really looks quite decent.

"It looks amazing..."

Sakura and Kenji, who were also stunned, sighed in unison. They really deserve to be the most couple-like pilots in Valrhona's team.

"You are very happy?"

Taking advantage of his spare time to rest by the side, the Chief Sergeant looked at his colleagues and juniors who continued to laugh and laugh not far away, and at the same time whispered to Yiqi who was in the parallel space.

[certainly! ] Yiqi’s voice sounds crisp and clear, and there is only full and sincere happiness in it, [Even if you don’t participate in person, just watching you lively from the side, I feel very happy! ] Then came a few more laughs.

Quietly listening to Yiqi's joyful voice and laughter, Zongshi heaved a sigh of relief, and his brows were stretched by the smile.

——Hearing that Yiqi can laugh so happily...

Boss, he suddenly felt: Even if it made him feel a little embarrassed, it was still worth it.

evening.

"Commander..." As soon as he came to Qiwu, he saw Shi Yan who seemed to be going out, and the chief officer who was a little surprised asked naturally, "Are you planning to go out?"

"Uh, um..." Shi Yan, who usually seems to be honest and responsible, seems a little embarrassed at this moment, "I originally planned to bother Teacher Yuanjian and the others...because I just received a call from Teacher... Come along, sir."

As a result, the two big men went to Yuanjian Hospital and had dinner together.

In addition to Shi Yan and Zong Shi, Maya, Miu and Emily participated in the dinner.

Although Guanghong was absent from the banquet at the Xin Guolian, the atmosphere of this dinner was still warm and harmonious.

Yiqi, who watched the whole process from the sidelines, said happily in a relieved tone: [Seeing that my father is under the care of Mr. Foresight, I feel more at ease—at least I don’t have to worry about it. If I don’t come to cook, how will he solve three meals a day. ]

After dinner.

"Go." Shi Yan, who was still drinking tea calmly, suddenly said this.

"Commander?" The chief officer couldn't react for a while.

Shi Yan smiled, raised his head to look at the chief officer sitting opposite him, and said with the calm and surplus feeling unique to his elders: "I guess that idiot in Yiqi is waiting for you, chief officer?"

[Father...] Yiqi felt very surprised, really.

Because he never expected that at this time, Shi Yan would actually consider this matter.

The chief officer was also stunned when he heard the words, and immediately reacted, and simply said: "Thank you."

Then he got up and said goodbye.

"Hey, sir, do you want to go first?" Qianhe, who had just washed the dishes and chopsticks, was obviously a little surprised.

As a junior, the Chief Sergeant bowed politely, and said respectfully, "Thanks for your hospitality tonight."

"Sir, you are so polite—ah, sir, please wait a moment." After saying that, Qianzuru, who immediately remembered something, turned back to the house, and returned with a lunch box after a while, "This rice cake, you want Sir, please take it with you
