After marrying an enemy general [Interstellar]
Chapter 40 Personal Verification
Zhou Mian accompanied Xiao Le after eating, playing the piano, and putting him to sleep before leaving.
Before leaving, Xiao Le gave Zhou Mian a small blue paper crane.
"You taught me before."
The child's voice was soft and waxy, holding a small paper crane.
Maybe it's the first time to fold it, the crooked one doesn't look good.But Zhou Mian was still very happy and put it on the bedside.
Back in his room, Hua Zhou Mian was too lazy to look at the big box, and planned to tidy it up the next day.
So in the remaining two days when Cecil was away, Zhou Mian took care of the plant during the day, and sorted the flowers and cards when he went back at night.
The third day was the day when Cecil came back. It happened to be the weekend, and the plant factory was not working.
Zhou Mian went to the plant factory to check everyone's progress a few days ago, then left early, and went home to prepare meals.Then he lay down on the soft chair in his own room and took off the cards from the flowers one by one. Ming Yan said, as Cecil's marriage partner, he must understand this.
What ministers, military officers, lords of other countries...
Everything connected to the Federation is in these cards.
Zhou Mian immediately took out a few cards from the box where the cards were stored.
The first one is an elegantly designed bronzing card, a blessing from Mercury, saying that he hopes the Federation will get better and better, and the next series of blessings are very official and well-behaved.
The second is a cowhide card, and the style of painting is very rough.
It is a blessing from a small town in the frontier.
——I wish the plant factory a smooth opening.I also wish Admiral Zhou and Admiral Cecil embrace two in one year and four in two years!The Commonwealth is booming!
A few sentences, every sentence is sonorous and powerful.
Zhou Mian: "..."
Zhou Mian stuffed the card back expressionlessly and took out another one.
The card is in the shape of a rare heart, and there are no blessings on it, just rows of poems.
Zhou Mian raised her eyebrows slightly.
This is very unique, and I don't know which family has such a clever idea.
——You are the most beautiful sunshine on the Cooper Sea, and the vast galaxy is your eyes
You are the most beautiful bartender in Sunset City, you are more intoxicating than the bloody setting sun...
……
Zhou Mian's face turned pale, and his whole body trembled, and the card in his hand fell to the ground with a "click".
- You are my shadow, but I am the prisoner of your soul
I will always wait for you
until the sea dries up...
That person's voice seemed to be right next to his ears, whispering softly and speaking affectionately.
Zhou Mian's breathing became disordered.
"Knock knock."
The butler came in with milk and biscuits, and said with a smile, "Admiral, your afternoon tea."
Before leaving, Cecil told the housekeeper to take good care of Zhou Mian's diet.
Zhou Mian took a deep breath, and said in a convincing way: "Thank you."
Concentrate on the milk, just right.
Sitting by the bed, Zhou Mian finished drinking the milk and eating the biscuits with a white face, and felt that his mind gradually calmed down.
He had already had good mental strength, and it was not a problem to control his emotions.
The housekeeper did not leave in a hurry, but just stood aside and looked at Zhou Mian with concern.
After Zhou Mian finished drinking the milk, he said with a smile, "Thank you Uncle Housekeeper, I'm fine, maybe I'm tired recently."
"Okay." The butler took the cup away, and said kindly: "The admiral will take a nap that week, rest, and don't get tired."
"it is good."
Zhou Mian took off his coat, adjusted the air conditioner, set the alarm clock and lay down.
Zhou Mian was dreaming.
Maybe Zhou Mian didn't know that the letter would subconsciously impact him.
In the dream, there was a sea of fire, and the eyes were red.
The fire is red, the blood is red, even the clothes on his body are red.
Zhou Mian found himself back to a scene several years ago.
He stood in front of a building. The building in front of him was a small square house with blocked windows and doors.But there were shrill screams and pleadings from inside.
"Please! Please let us out—"
"Ahhh——please!"
It was the cry before dying, especially hoarse and miserable.Everyone in the room made their voices louder and louder.
Zhou Mian just stood there quietly.
"I beg you—!"
Zhou Mian saw the bloody faces and eyes that were bigger than copper bells as the people inside were desperately squeezed into the air vent.
Zhou Mian stood there until nightfall, the voices of the people inside gradually weakened, and blood flowed out from the gap.
"You are a sinner."
Chi Ying stood beside him, smiling and said: "Look, you killed them."
"In the future, you will kill more people. Because..."
"You are a sinner."
...!
Zhou Mian opened his eyes suddenly, his whole body was drenched in cold sweat.
No, no...
I'm not……!
Zhou Mian was breathing heavily.
It is already evening now, and outside the window is the bloody sunset.
Jin Cancan's appearance is exactly the same as back then.
Zhou Mian couldn't bear it anymore, got up and hurried downstairs.
"What happened to Admiral Zhou?"
The housekeeper was tidying up the shoe cabinet, but when he saw Zhou Mian's appearance, he asked with concern, "Are you going out?"
"Ah."
Zhou Mian took the shoes from the housekeeper, drove the aircraft in the mansion and left.
——Until Sunset is no longer remembered
until you come back...
This poem is like a curse, and like a devil's croon.
But the hateful thing is that Zhou Mian can't forget it.
Even if you only read the first two sentences in the card, the next few sentences will automatically emerge.
Zhou Mian drove the aircraft all the way to the airport.
On the way, Zhou Mian forced himself to think about business and distracted himself.
Why can Chi Ying's flowers be delivered to her?
First of all, these flowers are sent from all over the world, so the source and safety are inevitably difficult to take into account, especially on the day of the banquet, everyone is there.
Secondly...there are traitors.Cecil also once told him that there were moles in the secretary.So this time it was Chi Ying who mixed his flowers into it through the secretary's hand.
So much effort, the purpose is actually very simple.
Chi Ying was warning himself.
Zhou Mian bit her lower lip hard and stepped on the accelerator.
Finally, the aircraft arrived at the airport.
Zhou Mian showed his ID card and came to the VIP pick-up port to wait.
"Admiral Zhou?" Ming Yan was originally sitting aside, correcting official documents and preparing to pick up Cecil, when she suddenly saw Zhou Mian and was a little surprised.
Didn't Zhou Mian not come to pick up the plane?
Zhou Mian nodded and said, "I thought there was nothing to do anyway, so I came here."
Mingyan snickered and stuffed all the documents into her backpack and said, "Then, Admiral Cecil will leave it to you! I'll go back first!"
"Hey... wait." Zhou Mian stopped and said, "You can also..."
"Bye bye!!"
However, Mingyan slipped faster than anything else.
Mingyan still had lingering fears in her heart, she had already cast a shadow over Cecil.If she disturbs Yinhe and his wife's relationship again, she explodes on the spot!
Zhou Mian looked at the back of Mingyan leaving in a hurry, and couldn't laugh or cry.
"...A Mian?"
Zhou Mian was taken aback.
Turning his head, he saw the tall man standing at the customs gate with luggage against the light, looking at him in surprise.
Zhou Mian's heart suddenly felt at ease.
No words or hugs are needed, just a glance is enough.
Zhou Mian stood where he was, just staring at Cecil in a daze. He went out too hastily without his coat, and didn't hold anything in his hand.
He looked a little embarrassed and a little thin.
Cecil was also slightly dazed.
In the end, it was Zhou Mian who came back to his senses, stepped forward and said softly, "The general is back."
"Well, I'm back."
Cecil looked at Zhou Mian, frowned slightly and said, "Why didn't you bring a coat when you went out?"
After finishing speaking, he took off his coat and put it on Zhou Mian.
Zhou Mian hooked her lips: "Forgot."
"Hey." Cecil originally wanted to tease a few words that he couldn't do without him, but he seemed to think of something, and he paused before saying: "Let's go, go home."
When the two went home, the housekeeper warmed up the meal that Zhou Mian had prepared early in the morning.
"Is this trip going well?"
The two sat facing each other, chatting while eating.
"It's going well, the frontier is very cooperative. The method taught by the glacier officials is also very effective." Cecil bit his favorite pig's foot, feeling a sense of happiness, and said; "What about you? How about the plant factory? "
"It's going well, the new researchers are very cooperative, and Yi Lun is also very responsible. Let me teach him how to fight when I have time." Zhou Mian said while serving Cecil a bowl of soup.
Cecil took it and paused.
After not getting along with Zhou Mian these days, Cecil has the answer in his heart.
He couldn't let Xiaoqi go, so if he didn't know Zhou Mian clearly, it was disrespect to Zhou Mian.
He is Admiral Cecil, dare to act.
But now when he saw Zhou Mian and his gentle appearance, Cecil suddenly couldn't say anything.
"General, can I ask you something?" Zhou Mian said, "Is Xiao Le really your nephew?"
Nor had he heard that Cecil had a sister.
"Yes." Cecil said, "It's my god-sister's child."
Cecil saw that Zhou Mian was very concerned about Xiao Le's past, and knew that Zhou Mian and Xiao Le were getting closer, so he took the initiative to say: "I was killed with Xiao Le's mother back then, and his mother was younger than me at that time. Many years older, I took her as my sister, or my mother. Later, his mother was killed and I brought Xiao Le back."
"Then Xiaole's father..."
Cecil lowered his eyes and said: "Xiao Le has no father, his mother... was defiled by a group of people."
Cecil talked about this incident with a bit of hatred, and his eyes were sharper than before, and said: "I was locked in the house day and night to defile, that's why Xiao Le became what he is now. He What I saw in my childhood were all those dirty and nasty things.”
Zhou Mian was taken aback, not knowing what to say.
"Sorry……"
"It's all in the past, there's nothing to worry about." Cecil smiled and said, "It's good that you can accompany Xiao Le now, and let him gradually become cheerful."
"Ah."
Zhou Mian pondered for a moment, then took out a small stack of papers in his pocket.
Zhou Mian smiled and said, "I'll give the general something."
Cecil: "Huh?"
Zhou Mian fiddled with the folded paper, and saw that it was a paper crane.After Zhou Mian blew air under the paper crane, he saw the paper crane expand and take shape.
Zhou Mian handed the black paper crane to Cecil, and said with a smile, "Here you are."
Cecil took it in a daze.
Zhou Mian said: "This is handed down from the ancient earth. Everyone says that this can bring people luck. I hope the admiral will be able to do everything smoothly in the future."
Zhou Mian only remembered it after Xiao Le sent him off that day.If Xiao Le gave him luck, he could also give Cecil luck. Even if he knew it was just a superstition and it was useless, it would still make him feel better.
Cecil lightly touched the flat and pointed wings of the paper crane, and smiled, even his eyes were stained with smiles.
"Thank you."
"This is the first time I have received such a gift."
After the two had dinner, Cecil went back to the study to deal with military affairs as usual, while Zhou Mian also had a job now and was also reading official documents in the study.
Then it was night, and Cecil put down his papers to go to sleep.
Zhou Mian got used to it naturally, and put down the files as well.
Cecil paused, then lowered his eyes and said, "Let's sleep in separate rooms tonight."
Zhou Mian was taken aback.
"why?"
Zhou Mian didn't have to sleep with Cecil, he was just curious and wanted to know the reason.
Cecil stood up and said, "There's no reason, it's just convenient. I'm worried about disturbing your sleep."
"Okay." Zhou Mian smiled, but didn't respond.
Cecil looked at Zhou Mian's leaving back, then looked at the little paper crane on the desk, and caught his breath in his throat.
Gan.
————XXXXX———
The next morning, when Cecil woke up and saw that his bedside was empty, he felt heartbroken.
Sigh... You are obviously married, so how come you live like a bachelor.
Cecil opened his arms to the sun outside the window.
Ah, I am so handsome and perfect, why should I suffer such a punishment.
"Admiral...!"
However, after Cecil slowly put on his military uniform and lamented his rough fate and steadfastness, he saw the butler hastily knocked on the door.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
The housekeeper panted, "Admiral Zhou... is about to run away."
……
...? ? ? ? !
"bump!"
Zhou Mian, who was dragging his suitcase and preparing to walk towards the door, was taken aback for a moment, when he saw the door was pushed open roughly, and Cecil stood aggressively at the door and shouted, "What are you doing?!"
My tongue is tied because of the tension.
Zhou Mian couldn't laugh or cry: "I'm going to move out."
"Move?! Where?"
"Plant plant."
"why!"
Zhou Mian blinked and said, "I'm worried about disturbing the general's life and sleep."
Cecil: "..."
These words were too familiar, Cecil remembered his sentence "I'm worried about disturbing your sleep" last night, took a few steps forward angrily, stopped in front of Zhou Mian, bowed his head and whispered: "You are taking revenge on me!" ?”
Zhou Mian only felt a black shadow enveloping him, and when he raised his head, he met Cecil's sharp eyes.
"I don't." Zhou Mian turned his head and said, "Can't you..."
Seeing that Cecil didn't speak, Zhou Mian sighed and said, "I didn't want to say this, but..."
Zhou Mian shook his head and said, "Admiral, have I ever told you? My senses and mental power are different from ordinary people. I can perceive what others can't. .”
Cecil froze.
Zhou Mian lowered her head, lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes fluttered slightly.
"So I know the admiral is avoiding me these days. Whether it's how I feel, or what the admiral actually does. I know it, I know it."
Cecil opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
"I also know that I am troubled by the general." Zhou Mian said with a smile: "So I moved out not only to solve the troubles of the general, but also not to put myself in an embarrassing situation. It is not sad that I moved out We are still comrades-in-arms, and I will still help the general, please don't blame yourself, general."
Zhou Mian pulled the suitcase and said: "As for the outside world and the media, I have good reasons. Now the plant factory has just opened for business, and I live in the plant factory to facilitate management, and there is nothing wrong with it."
Cecil's hands dropped to his sides, clenched tightly.
"Zhou Mian... you are really... caring." Cecil gritted his teeth and said, "You are also very decisive."
Zhou Mian has always been so caring, so he doesn't need to struggle or worry himself, he left first, and ended the relationship simply.
Even the back road and all the troubles are solved together.
Zhou Mian gently pushed Cecil away, turned around and said to Cecil before pulling the suitcase and leaving: "These days, I really thank the general for taking care of me. You saved me and gave me the confidence to stay here , give me respect and mission."
"Thank you." Zhou Mian bowed slightly, and then left.
Cecil stared blankly at the empty gate.
He knew why Zhou Mian gave him a paper crane, it was his farewell gift.
……
After Zhou Mian went downstairs, the housekeeper was shocked to see him still dragging his suitcase down.
"Admiral Zhou...you are..."
Zhou Mian said indifferently: "I discussed it with Admiral Cecil, and he also agreed for me to go out and live."
The housekeeper is also an old man, so he doesn't know what it means if Zhou Mian is really allowed to live out this time.
"Admiral Zhou..."
"During this period, I'm really grateful to the housekeeper for taking care of me." Zhou Mian saluted the housekeeper sincerely.
"Admiral Zhou...!"
The old housekeeper rummaged around before reluctantly said: "You're gone, what about Master Xiao Le? He's going to stop eating again."
Zhou Mian said: "I have thought about this problem too. Before I leave, I will ask Xiao Le for his opinion. If he is willing to leave with me, I will take good care of him and bring him back to meet Cecil and Uncle often. If he doesn't want to move, I will visit him often."
"This..." The old housekeeper hoped that Xiao Le would not move, and often dragged Zhou Mian back.
However, unexpectedly, Xiao Le agreed to move with Zhou Mian, and took the initiative to pick up his own rabbit doll, and asked if the piano could be moved together.
housekeeper:"……"
Just like that, Zhou Mian hugged the child in one hand and the suitcase in the other to get on the aircraft and left the admiral's mansion.
The aircraft is heading towards the plant factory.
Zhou Mian sighed.
He knew that Cecil was avoiding him, he knew all of Cecil's emotions, but he didn't know...
Why has he become a burden again.
Zhou Mian looked down at her palm, slightly lost in thought.
"Brother, where are we going?"
Xiao Le brought Zhou Mian back to his senses with a trembling voice.
This is the first time for Xiao Le to go out in many years. After leaving his small world, he was so scared that he buried his whole body in Zhou Mian's arms, with his head resting on Zhou Mian's shoulder, as tightly as a koala. Hoop him.
"We're going to where I work."
Zhou Mian patted Xiao Le's back to comfort him: "It's okay, I'll be with you. It's fun outside, there are many beautiful and gentle little brothers and sisters, and many more..."
"I do not want!"
Xiao Le squeezed her head into Zhou Mian's arms and said, "I don't want other people..."
The tone was full of resistance.
"Yeah, don't let other people bully our little Le." Zhou Mian thought, don't push too hard, let the child accept the outside world slowly.
The aircraft arrived at the plant, and Zhou Mian moved the luggage into the room with the help of Kevin.
Then a few people from the Twelfth Army also came to help, and carried Xiaole's piano over and moved it in.
Fortunately, the designer is very far-sighted. The plant factory has a very large private space in the rear, living room, kitchen, room... It is a small house. Although there is only one room, it is big.
Zhou Mian held Xiao Le's hand and introduced him one by one.
"If I go to the front office to work in the future, Xiao Le will stay in the room and can play the piano, draw, origami as before." Zhou Mian smiled and said, "Brother Yi Lun, do you know? He will also come to accompany you." .”
"No." Xiao Le hugged Zhou Mian's leg, feeling uncomfortable in this strange environment.
Zhou Mian squatted down, pinched Xiao Le's cheek and said with a smile: "Then Xiao Le, do you want to eat now?"
"Pudin...?" Xiao Le blinked.
"it is good."
Kevin led people to tidy up and clean, and Mingyan also arrived later.
Seeing Zhou Mian busy in the kitchen alone wearing an apron, while Xiao Le was sitting on a small stool beside her playing with her toys, Ming Yan suddenly felt very subtle.
This……
This is the general's wife running away with her child...
It looks like a scumbag Cecil abandoned his wife and son, and his wife gritted her teeth and led the child to live.
"Mingyan is here?" Zhou Mian said with a smile, "Do you want pudding?"
"No, no need..." Ming Yan said with a dry smile: "I just came to check on the situation and let the admiral know that your adjutant from the capital of Binghe has arrived. I brought him here, and he is going through formalities outside to come in now. .”
Zhou Mian nodded.
After a while, the adjutant came.
Mingyan tactfully left and turned to harass Kevin.
Kevin was moving things. Seeing the little girl walking around beside him, although he had a headache, he felt very happy.
Zhou Mian looked at the two of them dumbfounded.
Then, sure enough, the adjutant had gone through the formalities and came to find Zhou Mian.
"General!" The tall adjutant gave Zhou Mian a formal military salute.
Since Zhou Mian traveled to the Federation, adjutants would come to hand over work at the beginning and end of each month. Zhou Mian also often found opportunities to go back to deal with the military affairs of his Glacier Army.
"Thank you." Zhou Mian patted the adjutant's shoulder.
"It's not hard!" The adjutant kicked his feet, stood up straight, and then handed some important documents he brought to Zhou Mian.
Zhou Mian was a little puzzled after looking at it.
so little?
The adjutant immediately said: "Marshal Chris will also come back to visit the general tomorrow, and he will bring the rest of the documents while reminiscing about the past!"
Zhou Mian was taken aback.
Chris coming?
Reminiscing about the past?
"Okay." But no matter what, Zhou Mian was very happy with Chris's arrival.
Now Chris is not just a great officer of the Glacier Department. After defeating and weakening the royal family, now the Glacier is completely owned by him and Zhou Mianguan, and there are some fragmented families involved. All in all, they hold a lot of power.
Zhou Mian cherishes the kindness of Chris being able to come to the Federation to reminisce with him in person.
"There is also the matter that the general explained, and I have already done it." The adjutant carefully took out a brocade box.
Zhou Mian stared and said, "...the ring?"
"Yes, I sent people to Miss Zhou Ying's planet to retrieve the admiral's ring as ordered, but the journey was too far away, so I was delayed."
Zhou Mian picked up the brocade box, opened it, and found a blue ring lying inside.The ring had lost its brilliance due to its age, and no matter how much the owner cared for it, it still showed rust in some inconspicuous corners.
The color of the ring is very ordinary, and there is no design, just a simple ring.
But Zhou Mian felt at ease when he saw it. After all, this ring has become a habit by his side.
"Well done." Zhou Mian put on the ring with a smile.
Zhou Mian took the adjutant to the living room, and after listening to the report, he went back to the kitchen to serve his little ancestor, and told him the story of the night.
The next day, Chris arrived as expected.
Chris did not use an official name, and he also used his own private aircraft. He did not intend to disturb the reception of the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the official government.
The purpose of his trip is just to visit friends, without any identity.
"really?"
Zhou Mian smiled and said, "Did you really come here to catch up with me? Why is Chris suddenly free? He didn't even have time to make a phone call before."
At this moment, Zhou Mian is taking Chris to visit his "new home" - the plant factory.
"Yeah, I just don't want to bother Admiral Cecil, and I don't want to be those superficial official courtesies." Chris smiled and said: "If it's in an official name, I can't talk to you like a friend .”
Zhou Mian nodded, feeling a little surprised at the man in front of him.
Long time no see, Chris has changed.
In the past, Chris was a brother on the battlefield like him. Everyone drank and talked loudly, with a sloppy image and casual behavior.But now Chris...
Zhou Mian thinks this is a good thing, after all, Chris has become handsome.
Today's Chris is tall and big, restraining the casualness on the battlefield, and adding a bit of extravagance and arrogance to people.He has neatly trimmed brown hair, is dressed in a menacing military uniform, his facial features are not angry and majestic, and his demeanor when raising his hands and throwing shows the specialness of a superior.
Zhou Mian said: "Binghe... are you okay now?"
"Okay." Chris shook his head with a smile and said: "With the intervention of the Federation, the royal family quickly fell. Even if the royal family has supporters, it can't be blamed on us, and the blame is on the Federation."
"The life in the frontier is gradually getting better. The Federation sent people to develop the frontier with us, first to solve the problem of food and clothing for the residents there. The two parties exchanged technology and shared manpower, and the progress of the project was very fast."
When Zhou Mian heard this, he immediately smiled.
Chris looked at the smile, was slightly dazed, and then said, "Zhou Mian...how about you?"
"……what?"
Chris said, "How are you doing here?"
"Okay." Zhou Mian replied quickly.
Zhou Mian can live no matter where he is. It would be nice to have something to eat and a more comfortable place to sleep. Cecil has already renovated the second half of the plant because he moved into the plant. The level has increased by one level again.
Zhou Mian thinks this is good.
"Really?" Chris frowned slightly.
Zhou Mian said: "Of course. The climate here is not as harsh as in the frontier, and you can still eat cooked food."
"I didn't mean that." Chris sighed, not knowing what to say.
For a moment, Chris touched his nose, as if he had returned to the reckless Chris from before, and said, "What I'm talking about...is he treating you well? Is it really like the rumors, are you in a good relationship?"
Chris always felt that such a marriage must be unequal to Zhou Mian. As Zhou Mian's side, he always felt that he was being bullied.
Although in fact no one can bully Zhou Mian, but for Binghe, he is still worried.
"Miss Zhou Ying also quietly came to ask me about your recent situation before. She also cares about you, but... can't save that face."
"..."
Zhou Mian was stunned.
For a moment, Zhou Mian couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Why did you suddenly ask this?"
"I mean."
Chris looked into Zhou Mian's eyes and said seriously: "If he really treats you badly, you don't have to be wronged here because of Binghe. You can tell me directly that we can negotiate with the federation, at most a little bit on the contract deficit."
Zhou Mian was completely stunned.
Chris said coldly, "If you're not comfortable, get a divorce."
Zhou Mian stared slightly.
Such protection from Chris warmed his heart.
"I……"
"Marry your mother!"
Zhou Mian and Chris Qiqi were stunned, and when they turned their heads, they saw Cecil standing behind him, his face was like a frying pan, and the aura around him was like a god of evil.
"Ning has cat cake, right? Ah? Who are you, you, from the glacier? As soon as you come here, you can pry into the corner of my wall and encourage A Mian to divorce. You can do it, you... yo?" Cecil stood in the distance with his back to Ke Reese, so he didn't see it clearly at first, but now he was surprised after seeing it clearly, and became more excited.
Well, it turned out that the commander next door came to provoke him, and the challenge came to his door!
Cultivating the soil on his site, let alone shampoo, Cecil felt that even the strands of his hair were green.
Cecil stepped forward to take an oath of sovereignty and stood between Zhou Mian and Chris, separated the two, looked at Chris with raised eyebrows and said, "The Marshal came all the way to visit the Federation, why didn't he say anything? If it wasn't for me If you recognized it, wouldn't you be beaten up by me for not being able to control it?"
Chris was taken aback, and said calmly: "I just came here this time to visit an old friend. I'm sorry if I cause trouble to the general."
Cecil put his arms around Zhou Mian's shoulders, and said with a smile, "No trouble, no trouble, Ah Mian's friends are my friends."
Zhou Mian couldn't laugh or cry.
A man's heart, a seabed needle.The day before yesterday, he said with a straight face that he wanted to divide the room, why did he become a hooligan today?
Neither side of Zhou Mian was easy to offend, so he simply held Cecil with one hand, patted Chris on the shoulder with the other, and said, "I specially made fried chicken for Xiaole today, why don't you go eat together? It's good to accompany the children .”
Zhou Mian has already made an appointment for lunch with Chris, and now that Cecil is here, Zhou Mian feels that if he doesn't invite him together, the two may fight.
Chris said gently: "I was going to have a meal with you."
"Accompany! Our children can eat whatever they want!" Cecil surrounded Zhou Mian and went to the dining room arrogantly.
Zhou Mian looked at these two people, a Marshal of Glacier and an Admiral of the Empire, who looked like a three-year-old child at the moment, and couldn't help chuckling.
Several people went to the dining room, Zhou Mian put on oil-proof gloves and brought out a large plate of delicious fried chicken.
Xiao Le resisted outsiders, Cecil could barely accept it, but Chris was there, so Xiao Le walked around holding Zhou Mian's thigh the whole time.When several people were sitting at the dining table and starting to work, Xiao Le was sitting on Zhou Mian's lap. Zhou Mian was holding the child in one hand and peeling the chicken for the child to eat.
Seeing Xiao Le eating in silence, Zhou Mian asked in a low voice, "Is it delicious?"
"Delicious...!" Xiao Le immediately raised her head and smiled sweetly at Zhou Mian.
He really likes fried chicken.
Cecil looked at Xiao Le and smiled, and was stunned.
Looking at Zhou Mian with gentle eyebrows and eyes again, his heart moved slightly.
Chris was also looking at Zhou Mian. He noticed that there seemed to be a gap between Zhou Mian and Cecil, and getting along was not natural, so he couldn't help but have his own thoughts in his heart.
"Zhou Mian." Chris put a small chicken leg into Zhou Mian's bowl, and said with a smile, "Our glacier harvest celebration will start in a few days. Are you planning to come back? Last year you were in charge of the celebration guard."
The celebration will last for fifteen days. If Zhou Mian goes back to help, he will have to stay for fifteen days.
Zhou Mian lowered his head and pondered.
The reason why Zhou Mian considered it was because there were many officers who could do the job in Celebration Glacier, but now that the plant factory is just on track, he is needed very much.And you have to consider Xiao Le, if you go to the celebration, you have to take Xiao Le out of the Federation... Can Xiao Le bear this now?
Seeing that Zhou Mian seemed to be hesitating, Cecil was terrified, as if he had won a battle, and slowly extended his chopsticks into Zhou Mian's bowl with his eyes raised and his nose up...
He picked up the piece of meat that Chris gave Zhou Mian.
Zhou Mian: "???"
Then, I saw Cecil put the piece of meat back into Chris' bowl calmly, with a very polite attitude, and said with a smile: "Marshal, eat more."
Zhou Mian: "..."
Zhou Mian changed the subject and said to Chris: "I don't think I can leave for the time being, but I will go back to the celebration when I have a chance."
"Okay." Chris sighed secretly.
A meal is settled in the confrontation between Chris and Cecil.
Zhou Mian blocked the whole process.
After all, Cecil is naive, and Chris is just fighting for him. He couldn't explain it clearly for a while, so he simply took off his disposable gloves after eating, picked up Xiao Le, and planned to use it as a gift. Leave on the grounds of coaxing the child to sleep.
The moment Zhou Mian took off his gloves, Cecil was stunned.
Cecil looked at the blue ring on Zhou Mian's ring finger, and it petrified directly in place.
This……
Cecil's throat was astringent, and the blood in his body seemed to freeze at this moment.
Ring... Ring!
Cecil felt his heart beating faster, so fast that it was about to jump out of his chest, and his breathing became more and more rapid.
"Zhou Mian!"
Zhou Mian was taken aback for a moment, and when he turned around, he felt a flash of the figure in front of him, and a pain in his wrist.
"Admiral...?"
Seeing Cecil's red eyes, Zhou Mian tightly clutched his wrist, and asked word by word, "Where did the ring come from?"
"...?"
"Ring." Cecil said in a deep voice, "I ask you, where did the ring come from!"
Zhou Mian stared, almost out of breath by Cecil's heavy momentum, but fortunately he was not an ordinary person, so he calmed down, shook off Cecil's hand and frowned, "I don't know."
"Why don't you know your ring?!" Cecil's tone was too excited, which made Zhou Mian puzzled.
"Admiral Cecil, what are you doing!" Chris felt even more dissatisfied when he saw that Cecil suddenly became violent without warning.
Cecil glanced at Chris, took a deep breath and directly grabbed Zhou Mian's hand and walked out, so much strength that Zhou Mian staggered.
"Admiral Cecil...!"
Chris got angry immediately, and drew his sword subconsciously to block it, but Zhou Mian immediately made a sharp and firm look to prevent Chris from chasing him.
Then, before Zhou Mian had time to see Chris's expression, Cecil forcefully pulled him into the room.
Cecil asked Xiao Le to go out to play, but he blocked Zhou Mian against the wall.
Zhou Mian was trapped by Cecil's strong arms, with his back against the wall, and in front of him was Cecil with a sullen face.
"What's wrong with the general?" Zhou Mian met Cecil's eyes.
"I ask you, where did you get the ring?"
"I lost my previous memory, this ring has been with me all the time, and I don't know where it came from." Zhou Mian said in an orderly manner, half concealed: "Why does the general care so much?"
"You..." Cecil clenched his hands tightly into fists, making a crisp "creaking" sound.
He is patient.
Resisting the urge to peel off the person in front of him, he wanted to peel off everything about this person, peep into his inner thoughts, and see through all his past.Bit by bit, without a single omission.
He also has this ring, but it is red. Back then, Xiao Qi gave him the most beautiful red of the pair of rings, and said not to forget him.
Is it a coincidence that the snowman is a coincidence, and is the ring also a coincidence?
It was a coincidence, why did he fall in love with Zhou Mian, and Zhou Mian said in his dream that he would be a snowman and had a ring?
But it's not a coincidence, but everyone can make a snowman, the blue ring is not necessarily only Xiaoqi, what if it is really a coincidence?
Cecil stared at Zhou Mian intently.
Before leaving, Xiao Le gave Zhou Mian a small blue paper crane.
"You taught me before."
The child's voice was soft and waxy, holding a small paper crane.
Maybe it's the first time to fold it, the crooked one doesn't look good.But Zhou Mian was still very happy and put it on the bedside.
Back in his room, Hua Zhou Mian was too lazy to look at the big box, and planned to tidy it up the next day.
So in the remaining two days when Cecil was away, Zhou Mian took care of the plant during the day, and sorted the flowers and cards when he went back at night.
The third day was the day when Cecil came back. It happened to be the weekend, and the plant factory was not working.
Zhou Mian went to the plant factory to check everyone's progress a few days ago, then left early, and went home to prepare meals.Then he lay down on the soft chair in his own room and took off the cards from the flowers one by one. Ming Yan said, as Cecil's marriage partner, he must understand this.
What ministers, military officers, lords of other countries...
Everything connected to the Federation is in these cards.
Zhou Mian immediately took out a few cards from the box where the cards were stored.
The first one is an elegantly designed bronzing card, a blessing from Mercury, saying that he hopes the Federation will get better and better, and the next series of blessings are very official and well-behaved.
The second is a cowhide card, and the style of painting is very rough.
It is a blessing from a small town in the frontier.
——I wish the plant factory a smooth opening.I also wish Admiral Zhou and Admiral Cecil embrace two in one year and four in two years!The Commonwealth is booming!
A few sentences, every sentence is sonorous and powerful.
Zhou Mian: "..."
Zhou Mian stuffed the card back expressionlessly and took out another one.
The card is in the shape of a rare heart, and there are no blessings on it, just rows of poems.
Zhou Mian raised her eyebrows slightly.
This is very unique, and I don't know which family has such a clever idea.
——You are the most beautiful sunshine on the Cooper Sea, and the vast galaxy is your eyes
You are the most beautiful bartender in Sunset City, you are more intoxicating than the bloody setting sun...
……
Zhou Mian's face turned pale, and his whole body trembled, and the card in his hand fell to the ground with a "click".
- You are my shadow, but I am the prisoner of your soul
I will always wait for you
until the sea dries up...
That person's voice seemed to be right next to his ears, whispering softly and speaking affectionately.
Zhou Mian's breathing became disordered.
"Knock knock."
The butler came in with milk and biscuits, and said with a smile, "Admiral, your afternoon tea."
Before leaving, Cecil told the housekeeper to take good care of Zhou Mian's diet.
Zhou Mian took a deep breath, and said in a convincing way: "Thank you."
Concentrate on the milk, just right.
Sitting by the bed, Zhou Mian finished drinking the milk and eating the biscuits with a white face, and felt that his mind gradually calmed down.
He had already had good mental strength, and it was not a problem to control his emotions.
The housekeeper did not leave in a hurry, but just stood aside and looked at Zhou Mian with concern.
After Zhou Mian finished drinking the milk, he said with a smile, "Thank you Uncle Housekeeper, I'm fine, maybe I'm tired recently."
"Okay." The butler took the cup away, and said kindly: "The admiral will take a nap that week, rest, and don't get tired."
"it is good."
Zhou Mian took off his coat, adjusted the air conditioner, set the alarm clock and lay down.
Zhou Mian was dreaming.
Maybe Zhou Mian didn't know that the letter would subconsciously impact him.
In the dream, there was a sea of fire, and the eyes were red.
The fire is red, the blood is red, even the clothes on his body are red.
Zhou Mian found himself back to a scene several years ago.
He stood in front of a building. The building in front of him was a small square house with blocked windows and doors.But there were shrill screams and pleadings from inside.
"Please! Please let us out—"
"Ahhh——please!"
It was the cry before dying, especially hoarse and miserable.Everyone in the room made their voices louder and louder.
Zhou Mian just stood there quietly.
"I beg you—!"
Zhou Mian saw the bloody faces and eyes that were bigger than copper bells as the people inside were desperately squeezed into the air vent.
Zhou Mian stood there until nightfall, the voices of the people inside gradually weakened, and blood flowed out from the gap.
"You are a sinner."
Chi Ying stood beside him, smiling and said: "Look, you killed them."
"In the future, you will kill more people. Because..."
"You are a sinner."
...!
Zhou Mian opened his eyes suddenly, his whole body was drenched in cold sweat.
No, no...
I'm not……!
Zhou Mian was breathing heavily.
It is already evening now, and outside the window is the bloody sunset.
Jin Cancan's appearance is exactly the same as back then.
Zhou Mian couldn't bear it anymore, got up and hurried downstairs.
"What happened to Admiral Zhou?"
The housekeeper was tidying up the shoe cabinet, but when he saw Zhou Mian's appearance, he asked with concern, "Are you going out?"
"Ah."
Zhou Mian took the shoes from the housekeeper, drove the aircraft in the mansion and left.
——Until Sunset is no longer remembered
until you come back...
This poem is like a curse, and like a devil's croon.
But the hateful thing is that Zhou Mian can't forget it.
Even if you only read the first two sentences in the card, the next few sentences will automatically emerge.
Zhou Mian drove the aircraft all the way to the airport.
On the way, Zhou Mian forced himself to think about business and distracted himself.
Why can Chi Ying's flowers be delivered to her?
First of all, these flowers are sent from all over the world, so the source and safety are inevitably difficult to take into account, especially on the day of the banquet, everyone is there.
Secondly...there are traitors.Cecil also once told him that there were moles in the secretary.So this time it was Chi Ying who mixed his flowers into it through the secretary's hand.
So much effort, the purpose is actually very simple.
Chi Ying was warning himself.
Zhou Mian bit her lower lip hard and stepped on the accelerator.
Finally, the aircraft arrived at the airport.
Zhou Mian showed his ID card and came to the VIP pick-up port to wait.
"Admiral Zhou?" Ming Yan was originally sitting aside, correcting official documents and preparing to pick up Cecil, when she suddenly saw Zhou Mian and was a little surprised.
Didn't Zhou Mian not come to pick up the plane?
Zhou Mian nodded and said, "I thought there was nothing to do anyway, so I came here."
Mingyan snickered and stuffed all the documents into her backpack and said, "Then, Admiral Cecil will leave it to you! I'll go back first!"
"Hey... wait." Zhou Mian stopped and said, "You can also..."
"Bye bye!!"
However, Mingyan slipped faster than anything else.
Mingyan still had lingering fears in her heart, she had already cast a shadow over Cecil.If she disturbs Yinhe and his wife's relationship again, she explodes on the spot!
Zhou Mian looked at the back of Mingyan leaving in a hurry, and couldn't laugh or cry.
"...A Mian?"
Zhou Mian was taken aback.
Turning his head, he saw the tall man standing at the customs gate with luggage against the light, looking at him in surprise.
Zhou Mian's heart suddenly felt at ease.
No words or hugs are needed, just a glance is enough.
Zhou Mian stood where he was, just staring at Cecil in a daze. He went out too hastily without his coat, and didn't hold anything in his hand.
He looked a little embarrassed and a little thin.
Cecil was also slightly dazed.
In the end, it was Zhou Mian who came back to his senses, stepped forward and said softly, "The general is back."
"Well, I'm back."
Cecil looked at Zhou Mian, frowned slightly and said, "Why didn't you bring a coat when you went out?"
After finishing speaking, he took off his coat and put it on Zhou Mian.
Zhou Mian hooked her lips: "Forgot."
"Hey." Cecil originally wanted to tease a few words that he couldn't do without him, but he seemed to think of something, and he paused before saying: "Let's go, go home."
When the two went home, the housekeeper warmed up the meal that Zhou Mian had prepared early in the morning.
"Is this trip going well?"
The two sat facing each other, chatting while eating.
"It's going well, the frontier is very cooperative. The method taught by the glacier officials is also very effective." Cecil bit his favorite pig's foot, feeling a sense of happiness, and said; "What about you? How about the plant factory? "
"It's going well, the new researchers are very cooperative, and Yi Lun is also very responsible. Let me teach him how to fight when I have time." Zhou Mian said while serving Cecil a bowl of soup.
Cecil took it and paused.
After not getting along with Zhou Mian these days, Cecil has the answer in his heart.
He couldn't let Xiaoqi go, so if he didn't know Zhou Mian clearly, it was disrespect to Zhou Mian.
He is Admiral Cecil, dare to act.
But now when he saw Zhou Mian and his gentle appearance, Cecil suddenly couldn't say anything.
"General, can I ask you something?" Zhou Mian said, "Is Xiao Le really your nephew?"
Nor had he heard that Cecil had a sister.
"Yes." Cecil said, "It's my god-sister's child."
Cecil saw that Zhou Mian was very concerned about Xiao Le's past, and knew that Zhou Mian and Xiao Le were getting closer, so he took the initiative to say: "I was killed with Xiao Le's mother back then, and his mother was younger than me at that time. Many years older, I took her as my sister, or my mother. Later, his mother was killed and I brought Xiao Le back."
"Then Xiaole's father..."
Cecil lowered his eyes and said: "Xiao Le has no father, his mother... was defiled by a group of people."
Cecil talked about this incident with a bit of hatred, and his eyes were sharper than before, and said: "I was locked in the house day and night to defile, that's why Xiao Le became what he is now. He What I saw in my childhood were all those dirty and nasty things.”
Zhou Mian was taken aback, not knowing what to say.
"Sorry……"
"It's all in the past, there's nothing to worry about." Cecil smiled and said, "It's good that you can accompany Xiao Le now, and let him gradually become cheerful."
"Ah."
Zhou Mian pondered for a moment, then took out a small stack of papers in his pocket.
Zhou Mian smiled and said, "I'll give the general something."
Cecil: "Huh?"
Zhou Mian fiddled with the folded paper, and saw that it was a paper crane.After Zhou Mian blew air under the paper crane, he saw the paper crane expand and take shape.
Zhou Mian handed the black paper crane to Cecil, and said with a smile, "Here you are."
Cecil took it in a daze.
Zhou Mian said: "This is handed down from the ancient earth. Everyone says that this can bring people luck. I hope the admiral will be able to do everything smoothly in the future."
Zhou Mian only remembered it after Xiao Le sent him off that day.If Xiao Le gave him luck, he could also give Cecil luck. Even if he knew it was just a superstition and it was useless, it would still make him feel better.
Cecil lightly touched the flat and pointed wings of the paper crane, and smiled, even his eyes were stained with smiles.
"Thank you."
"This is the first time I have received such a gift."
After the two had dinner, Cecil went back to the study to deal with military affairs as usual, while Zhou Mian also had a job now and was also reading official documents in the study.
Then it was night, and Cecil put down his papers to go to sleep.
Zhou Mian got used to it naturally, and put down the files as well.
Cecil paused, then lowered his eyes and said, "Let's sleep in separate rooms tonight."
Zhou Mian was taken aback.
"why?"
Zhou Mian didn't have to sleep with Cecil, he was just curious and wanted to know the reason.
Cecil stood up and said, "There's no reason, it's just convenient. I'm worried about disturbing your sleep."
"Okay." Zhou Mian smiled, but didn't respond.
Cecil looked at Zhou Mian's leaving back, then looked at the little paper crane on the desk, and caught his breath in his throat.
Gan.
————XXXXX———
The next morning, when Cecil woke up and saw that his bedside was empty, he felt heartbroken.
Sigh... You are obviously married, so how come you live like a bachelor.
Cecil opened his arms to the sun outside the window.
Ah, I am so handsome and perfect, why should I suffer such a punishment.
"Admiral...!"
However, after Cecil slowly put on his military uniform and lamented his rough fate and steadfastness, he saw the butler hastily knocked on the door.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
The housekeeper panted, "Admiral Zhou... is about to run away."
……
...? ? ? ? !
"bump!"
Zhou Mian, who was dragging his suitcase and preparing to walk towards the door, was taken aback for a moment, when he saw the door was pushed open roughly, and Cecil stood aggressively at the door and shouted, "What are you doing?!"
My tongue is tied because of the tension.
Zhou Mian couldn't laugh or cry: "I'm going to move out."
"Move?! Where?"
"Plant plant."
"why!"
Zhou Mian blinked and said, "I'm worried about disturbing the general's life and sleep."
Cecil: "..."
These words were too familiar, Cecil remembered his sentence "I'm worried about disturbing your sleep" last night, took a few steps forward angrily, stopped in front of Zhou Mian, bowed his head and whispered: "You are taking revenge on me!" ?”
Zhou Mian only felt a black shadow enveloping him, and when he raised his head, he met Cecil's sharp eyes.
"I don't." Zhou Mian turned his head and said, "Can't you..."
Seeing that Cecil didn't speak, Zhou Mian sighed and said, "I didn't want to say this, but..."
Zhou Mian shook his head and said, "Admiral, have I ever told you? My senses and mental power are different from ordinary people. I can perceive what others can't. .”
Cecil froze.
Zhou Mian lowered her head, lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes fluttered slightly.
"So I know the admiral is avoiding me these days. Whether it's how I feel, or what the admiral actually does. I know it, I know it."
Cecil opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
"I also know that I am troubled by the general." Zhou Mian said with a smile: "So I moved out not only to solve the troubles of the general, but also not to put myself in an embarrassing situation. It is not sad that I moved out We are still comrades-in-arms, and I will still help the general, please don't blame yourself, general."
Zhou Mian pulled the suitcase and said: "As for the outside world and the media, I have good reasons. Now the plant factory has just opened for business, and I live in the plant factory to facilitate management, and there is nothing wrong with it."
Cecil's hands dropped to his sides, clenched tightly.
"Zhou Mian... you are really... caring." Cecil gritted his teeth and said, "You are also very decisive."
Zhou Mian has always been so caring, so he doesn't need to struggle or worry himself, he left first, and ended the relationship simply.
Even the back road and all the troubles are solved together.
Zhou Mian gently pushed Cecil away, turned around and said to Cecil before pulling the suitcase and leaving: "These days, I really thank the general for taking care of me. You saved me and gave me the confidence to stay here , give me respect and mission."
"Thank you." Zhou Mian bowed slightly, and then left.
Cecil stared blankly at the empty gate.
He knew why Zhou Mian gave him a paper crane, it was his farewell gift.
……
After Zhou Mian went downstairs, the housekeeper was shocked to see him still dragging his suitcase down.
"Admiral Zhou...you are..."
Zhou Mian said indifferently: "I discussed it with Admiral Cecil, and he also agreed for me to go out and live."
The housekeeper is also an old man, so he doesn't know what it means if Zhou Mian is really allowed to live out this time.
"Admiral Zhou..."
"During this period, I'm really grateful to the housekeeper for taking care of me." Zhou Mian saluted the housekeeper sincerely.
"Admiral Zhou...!"
The old housekeeper rummaged around before reluctantly said: "You're gone, what about Master Xiao Le? He's going to stop eating again."
Zhou Mian said: "I have thought about this problem too. Before I leave, I will ask Xiao Le for his opinion. If he is willing to leave with me, I will take good care of him and bring him back to meet Cecil and Uncle often. If he doesn't want to move, I will visit him often."
"This..." The old housekeeper hoped that Xiao Le would not move, and often dragged Zhou Mian back.
However, unexpectedly, Xiao Le agreed to move with Zhou Mian, and took the initiative to pick up his own rabbit doll, and asked if the piano could be moved together.
housekeeper:"……"
Just like that, Zhou Mian hugged the child in one hand and the suitcase in the other to get on the aircraft and left the admiral's mansion.
The aircraft is heading towards the plant factory.
Zhou Mian sighed.
He knew that Cecil was avoiding him, he knew all of Cecil's emotions, but he didn't know...
Why has he become a burden again.
Zhou Mian looked down at her palm, slightly lost in thought.
"Brother, where are we going?"
Xiao Le brought Zhou Mian back to his senses with a trembling voice.
This is the first time for Xiao Le to go out in many years. After leaving his small world, he was so scared that he buried his whole body in Zhou Mian's arms, with his head resting on Zhou Mian's shoulder, as tightly as a koala. Hoop him.
"We're going to where I work."
Zhou Mian patted Xiao Le's back to comfort him: "It's okay, I'll be with you. It's fun outside, there are many beautiful and gentle little brothers and sisters, and many more..."
"I do not want!"
Xiao Le squeezed her head into Zhou Mian's arms and said, "I don't want other people..."
The tone was full of resistance.
"Yeah, don't let other people bully our little Le." Zhou Mian thought, don't push too hard, let the child accept the outside world slowly.
The aircraft arrived at the plant, and Zhou Mian moved the luggage into the room with the help of Kevin.
Then a few people from the Twelfth Army also came to help, and carried Xiaole's piano over and moved it in.
Fortunately, the designer is very far-sighted. The plant factory has a very large private space in the rear, living room, kitchen, room... It is a small house. Although there is only one room, it is big.
Zhou Mian held Xiao Le's hand and introduced him one by one.
"If I go to the front office to work in the future, Xiao Le will stay in the room and can play the piano, draw, origami as before." Zhou Mian smiled and said, "Brother Yi Lun, do you know? He will also come to accompany you." .”
"No." Xiao Le hugged Zhou Mian's leg, feeling uncomfortable in this strange environment.
Zhou Mian squatted down, pinched Xiao Le's cheek and said with a smile: "Then Xiao Le, do you want to eat now?"
"Pudin...?" Xiao Le blinked.
"it is good."
Kevin led people to tidy up and clean, and Mingyan also arrived later.
Seeing Zhou Mian busy in the kitchen alone wearing an apron, while Xiao Le was sitting on a small stool beside her playing with her toys, Ming Yan suddenly felt very subtle.
This……
This is the general's wife running away with her child...
It looks like a scumbag Cecil abandoned his wife and son, and his wife gritted her teeth and led the child to live.
"Mingyan is here?" Zhou Mian said with a smile, "Do you want pudding?"
"No, no need..." Ming Yan said with a dry smile: "I just came to check on the situation and let the admiral know that your adjutant from the capital of Binghe has arrived. I brought him here, and he is going through formalities outside to come in now. .”
Zhou Mian nodded.
After a while, the adjutant came.
Mingyan tactfully left and turned to harass Kevin.
Kevin was moving things. Seeing the little girl walking around beside him, although he had a headache, he felt very happy.
Zhou Mian looked at the two of them dumbfounded.
Then, sure enough, the adjutant had gone through the formalities and came to find Zhou Mian.
"General!" The tall adjutant gave Zhou Mian a formal military salute.
Since Zhou Mian traveled to the Federation, adjutants would come to hand over work at the beginning and end of each month. Zhou Mian also often found opportunities to go back to deal with the military affairs of his Glacier Army.
"Thank you." Zhou Mian patted the adjutant's shoulder.
"It's not hard!" The adjutant kicked his feet, stood up straight, and then handed some important documents he brought to Zhou Mian.
Zhou Mian was a little puzzled after looking at it.
so little?
The adjutant immediately said: "Marshal Chris will also come back to visit the general tomorrow, and he will bring the rest of the documents while reminiscing about the past!"
Zhou Mian was taken aback.
Chris coming?
Reminiscing about the past?
"Okay." But no matter what, Zhou Mian was very happy with Chris's arrival.
Now Chris is not just a great officer of the Glacier Department. After defeating and weakening the royal family, now the Glacier is completely owned by him and Zhou Mianguan, and there are some fragmented families involved. All in all, they hold a lot of power.
Zhou Mian cherishes the kindness of Chris being able to come to the Federation to reminisce with him in person.
"There is also the matter that the general explained, and I have already done it." The adjutant carefully took out a brocade box.
Zhou Mian stared and said, "...the ring?"
"Yes, I sent people to Miss Zhou Ying's planet to retrieve the admiral's ring as ordered, but the journey was too far away, so I was delayed."
Zhou Mian picked up the brocade box, opened it, and found a blue ring lying inside.The ring had lost its brilliance due to its age, and no matter how much the owner cared for it, it still showed rust in some inconspicuous corners.
The color of the ring is very ordinary, and there is no design, just a simple ring.
But Zhou Mian felt at ease when he saw it. After all, this ring has become a habit by his side.
"Well done." Zhou Mian put on the ring with a smile.
Zhou Mian took the adjutant to the living room, and after listening to the report, he went back to the kitchen to serve his little ancestor, and told him the story of the night.
The next day, Chris arrived as expected.
Chris did not use an official name, and he also used his own private aircraft. He did not intend to disturb the reception of the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the official government.
The purpose of his trip is just to visit friends, without any identity.
"really?"
Zhou Mian smiled and said, "Did you really come here to catch up with me? Why is Chris suddenly free? He didn't even have time to make a phone call before."
At this moment, Zhou Mian is taking Chris to visit his "new home" - the plant factory.
"Yeah, I just don't want to bother Admiral Cecil, and I don't want to be those superficial official courtesies." Chris smiled and said: "If it's in an official name, I can't talk to you like a friend .”
Zhou Mian nodded, feeling a little surprised at the man in front of him.
Long time no see, Chris has changed.
In the past, Chris was a brother on the battlefield like him. Everyone drank and talked loudly, with a sloppy image and casual behavior.But now Chris...
Zhou Mian thinks this is a good thing, after all, Chris has become handsome.
Today's Chris is tall and big, restraining the casualness on the battlefield, and adding a bit of extravagance and arrogance to people.He has neatly trimmed brown hair, is dressed in a menacing military uniform, his facial features are not angry and majestic, and his demeanor when raising his hands and throwing shows the specialness of a superior.
Zhou Mian said: "Binghe... are you okay now?"
"Okay." Chris shook his head with a smile and said: "With the intervention of the Federation, the royal family quickly fell. Even if the royal family has supporters, it can't be blamed on us, and the blame is on the Federation."
"The life in the frontier is gradually getting better. The Federation sent people to develop the frontier with us, first to solve the problem of food and clothing for the residents there. The two parties exchanged technology and shared manpower, and the progress of the project was very fast."
When Zhou Mian heard this, he immediately smiled.
Chris looked at the smile, was slightly dazed, and then said, "Zhou Mian...how about you?"
"……what?"
Chris said, "How are you doing here?"
"Okay." Zhou Mian replied quickly.
Zhou Mian can live no matter where he is. It would be nice to have something to eat and a more comfortable place to sleep. Cecil has already renovated the second half of the plant because he moved into the plant. The level has increased by one level again.
Zhou Mian thinks this is good.
"Really?" Chris frowned slightly.
Zhou Mian said: "Of course. The climate here is not as harsh as in the frontier, and you can still eat cooked food."
"I didn't mean that." Chris sighed, not knowing what to say.
For a moment, Chris touched his nose, as if he had returned to the reckless Chris from before, and said, "What I'm talking about...is he treating you well? Is it really like the rumors, are you in a good relationship?"
Chris always felt that such a marriage must be unequal to Zhou Mian. As Zhou Mian's side, he always felt that he was being bullied.
Although in fact no one can bully Zhou Mian, but for Binghe, he is still worried.
"Miss Zhou Ying also quietly came to ask me about your recent situation before. She also cares about you, but... can't save that face."
"..."
Zhou Mian was stunned.
For a moment, Zhou Mian couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Why did you suddenly ask this?"
"I mean."
Chris looked into Zhou Mian's eyes and said seriously: "If he really treats you badly, you don't have to be wronged here because of Binghe. You can tell me directly that we can negotiate with the federation, at most a little bit on the contract deficit."
Zhou Mian was completely stunned.
Chris said coldly, "If you're not comfortable, get a divorce."
Zhou Mian stared slightly.
Such protection from Chris warmed his heart.
"I……"
"Marry your mother!"
Zhou Mian and Chris Qiqi were stunned, and when they turned their heads, they saw Cecil standing behind him, his face was like a frying pan, and the aura around him was like a god of evil.
"Ning has cat cake, right? Ah? Who are you, you, from the glacier? As soon as you come here, you can pry into the corner of my wall and encourage A Mian to divorce. You can do it, you... yo?" Cecil stood in the distance with his back to Ke Reese, so he didn't see it clearly at first, but now he was surprised after seeing it clearly, and became more excited.
Well, it turned out that the commander next door came to provoke him, and the challenge came to his door!
Cultivating the soil on his site, let alone shampoo, Cecil felt that even the strands of his hair were green.
Cecil stepped forward to take an oath of sovereignty and stood between Zhou Mian and Chris, separated the two, looked at Chris with raised eyebrows and said, "The Marshal came all the way to visit the Federation, why didn't he say anything? If it wasn't for me If you recognized it, wouldn't you be beaten up by me for not being able to control it?"
Chris was taken aback, and said calmly: "I just came here this time to visit an old friend. I'm sorry if I cause trouble to the general."
Cecil put his arms around Zhou Mian's shoulders, and said with a smile, "No trouble, no trouble, Ah Mian's friends are my friends."
Zhou Mian couldn't laugh or cry.
A man's heart, a seabed needle.The day before yesterday, he said with a straight face that he wanted to divide the room, why did he become a hooligan today?
Neither side of Zhou Mian was easy to offend, so he simply held Cecil with one hand, patted Chris on the shoulder with the other, and said, "I specially made fried chicken for Xiaole today, why don't you go eat together? It's good to accompany the children .”
Zhou Mian has already made an appointment for lunch with Chris, and now that Cecil is here, Zhou Mian feels that if he doesn't invite him together, the two may fight.
Chris said gently: "I was going to have a meal with you."
"Accompany! Our children can eat whatever they want!" Cecil surrounded Zhou Mian and went to the dining room arrogantly.
Zhou Mian looked at these two people, a Marshal of Glacier and an Admiral of the Empire, who looked like a three-year-old child at the moment, and couldn't help chuckling.
Several people went to the dining room, Zhou Mian put on oil-proof gloves and brought out a large plate of delicious fried chicken.
Xiao Le resisted outsiders, Cecil could barely accept it, but Chris was there, so Xiao Le walked around holding Zhou Mian's thigh the whole time.When several people were sitting at the dining table and starting to work, Xiao Le was sitting on Zhou Mian's lap. Zhou Mian was holding the child in one hand and peeling the chicken for the child to eat.
Seeing Xiao Le eating in silence, Zhou Mian asked in a low voice, "Is it delicious?"
"Delicious...!" Xiao Le immediately raised her head and smiled sweetly at Zhou Mian.
He really likes fried chicken.
Cecil looked at Xiao Le and smiled, and was stunned.
Looking at Zhou Mian with gentle eyebrows and eyes again, his heart moved slightly.
Chris was also looking at Zhou Mian. He noticed that there seemed to be a gap between Zhou Mian and Cecil, and getting along was not natural, so he couldn't help but have his own thoughts in his heart.
"Zhou Mian." Chris put a small chicken leg into Zhou Mian's bowl, and said with a smile, "Our glacier harvest celebration will start in a few days. Are you planning to come back? Last year you were in charge of the celebration guard."
The celebration will last for fifteen days. If Zhou Mian goes back to help, he will have to stay for fifteen days.
Zhou Mian lowered his head and pondered.
The reason why Zhou Mian considered it was because there were many officers who could do the job in Celebration Glacier, but now that the plant factory is just on track, he is needed very much.And you have to consider Xiao Le, if you go to the celebration, you have to take Xiao Le out of the Federation... Can Xiao Le bear this now?
Seeing that Zhou Mian seemed to be hesitating, Cecil was terrified, as if he had won a battle, and slowly extended his chopsticks into Zhou Mian's bowl with his eyes raised and his nose up...
He picked up the piece of meat that Chris gave Zhou Mian.
Zhou Mian: "???"
Then, I saw Cecil put the piece of meat back into Chris' bowl calmly, with a very polite attitude, and said with a smile: "Marshal, eat more."
Zhou Mian: "..."
Zhou Mian changed the subject and said to Chris: "I don't think I can leave for the time being, but I will go back to the celebration when I have a chance."
"Okay." Chris sighed secretly.
A meal is settled in the confrontation between Chris and Cecil.
Zhou Mian blocked the whole process.
After all, Cecil is naive, and Chris is just fighting for him. He couldn't explain it clearly for a while, so he simply took off his disposable gloves after eating, picked up Xiao Le, and planned to use it as a gift. Leave on the grounds of coaxing the child to sleep.
The moment Zhou Mian took off his gloves, Cecil was stunned.
Cecil looked at the blue ring on Zhou Mian's ring finger, and it petrified directly in place.
This……
Cecil's throat was astringent, and the blood in his body seemed to freeze at this moment.
Ring... Ring!
Cecil felt his heart beating faster, so fast that it was about to jump out of his chest, and his breathing became more and more rapid.
"Zhou Mian!"
Zhou Mian was taken aback for a moment, and when he turned around, he felt a flash of the figure in front of him, and a pain in his wrist.
"Admiral...?"
Seeing Cecil's red eyes, Zhou Mian tightly clutched his wrist, and asked word by word, "Where did the ring come from?"
"...?"
"Ring." Cecil said in a deep voice, "I ask you, where did the ring come from!"
Zhou Mian stared, almost out of breath by Cecil's heavy momentum, but fortunately he was not an ordinary person, so he calmed down, shook off Cecil's hand and frowned, "I don't know."
"Why don't you know your ring?!" Cecil's tone was too excited, which made Zhou Mian puzzled.
"Admiral Cecil, what are you doing!" Chris felt even more dissatisfied when he saw that Cecil suddenly became violent without warning.
Cecil glanced at Chris, took a deep breath and directly grabbed Zhou Mian's hand and walked out, so much strength that Zhou Mian staggered.
"Admiral Cecil...!"
Chris got angry immediately, and drew his sword subconsciously to block it, but Zhou Mian immediately made a sharp and firm look to prevent Chris from chasing him.
Then, before Zhou Mian had time to see Chris's expression, Cecil forcefully pulled him into the room.
Cecil asked Xiao Le to go out to play, but he blocked Zhou Mian against the wall.
Zhou Mian was trapped by Cecil's strong arms, with his back against the wall, and in front of him was Cecil with a sullen face.
"What's wrong with the general?" Zhou Mian met Cecil's eyes.
"I ask you, where did you get the ring?"
"I lost my previous memory, this ring has been with me all the time, and I don't know where it came from." Zhou Mian said in an orderly manner, half concealed: "Why does the general care so much?"
"You..." Cecil clenched his hands tightly into fists, making a crisp "creaking" sound.
He is patient.
Resisting the urge to peel off the person in front of him, he wanted to peel off everything about this person, peep into his inner thoughts, and see through all his past.Bit by bit, without a single omission.
He also has this ring, but it is red. Back then, Xiao Qi gave him the most beautiful red of the pair of rings, and said not to forget him.
Is it a coincidence that the snowman is a coincidence, and is the ring also a coincidence?
It was a coincidence, why did he fall in love with Zhou Mian, and Zhou Mian said in his dream that he would be a snowman and had a ring?
But it's not a coincidence, but everyone can make a snowman, the blue ring is not necessarily only Xiaoqi, what if it is really a coincidence?
Cecil stared at Zhou Mian intently.
