Wu Qiao understood what Tan Yan meant.
Suddenly, some distressed.
His heart twitched, making him feel very sad.
He put his arms around the other party and shook his head vigorously: "No...you can't swear... you can't."
"Why not?"
"What makes me never fall in love with you... I can't even see the slightest sincerity."
"..."
"In my opinion, you don't even have the slightest determination to stay with me forever."
"..."
"Your oath cannot be counted."
"Oh? Can't count?"
"Hmm..." After a moment of silence, Wu Qiao's hands that were holding Tan Yan's upper arm tightly began to tremble slightly, "Because I may... have fallen in love with you a little bit."
Wu Qiao has been suspicious recently, although he is not quite sure.
In the past, Wu Qiao never thought about this question, he couldn't think of it, and he didn't dare to think about it, but since Tan Yan's "marriage proposal", he couldn't help thinking about it.
He turned his thoughts back and forth and tried to figure it out, wishing to break all the emotions into pieces, draw a percentage pie chart, and identify in detail what each emotion is and how much it accounts for.
He felt that his feelings for Tan Yan were different from those for other friends.
In addition to wanting to see each other's appearance and hear their voice every day, Wu Qiao also found that he was walking on thin ice when dealing with this relationship - he always wanted to leave a good impression on the other party, and hoped that he would be in Tan Yan's eyes. Always excellent, afraid of people seeing their embarrassed side. The strange thing is that even though he wanted to be decent so much, what he wanted to see the most when he couldn't bear it was the other person, and he couldn't help but want to get some warmth. In comparison, he is not like this at all in front of Su Yiqing and other friends - when he gets along with Su Yiqing and others, he can do whatever he wants and will not hide anything at all, but when he is really vulnerable, he will only think about one People stay quietly, the most feared thing is that someone will ask him what's wrong.
Wu Qiao felt that he cared too much about Tan Yan.
He also thought about trying to get along with each other, but he felt that it was inappropriate. If he didn't try it out, it would make the other party happy for nothing. Tan Yan is very busy, and he is also very busy. He still has to change the world, so it's better not to waste time on certain things.
He didn't dare to tell anyone, only Ya Jiu knew a little bit.
At that time, after hearing about the two of them, Ya Jiu seemed extremely excited.
It said loudly: "Quickly promise him! Take me on a date! Tell him to take Ryongyeon too! Then you two have been to the world of two, leave us two and wait for you to come out!"
"..."
"Shall the four of us go to the playground? The couples on TV are going there." Ya Jiu asked coyly again, "I think those projects are very interesting. I heard that the heart beats faster when riding. Many people in the ambiguous stage People will still shake hands tightly, piercing the layer of window paper... "
"...do you know what a fast heartbeat is?"
"No... I don't really know..." Ya Jiu was dumbfounded.
Wu Qiao: "..."
"Wu Qiao, let me tell you," Ya Jiu's eyes were filled with anticipation, "The roller coaster is so fast! It looks scary, and it will definitely scare you! Every time a movie or TV show is like this, the people inside are there all the time. scream!"
"..." Wu Qiao looked Yajiu up and down several times, and finally asked with difficulty, "Yaojiu...do you know...what is your own speed like?"
"Huh?" Ya Jiu was there silly.
"You know... how many times faster are you than a roller coaster?"
The Crow Nine should be the fastest mech, not only in the empire, but perhaps in the entire universe. Wu Qiao sometimes suspects that if Ya Jiuqiang hugs Long Yuan, Long Yuan should not be able to escape him, but he dare not say so.
Wu Qiao really couldn't understand why Yajiu felt that it, Longyuan, himself, and Tan Yan would be frightened by that kind of thing
After that conversation, Wu Qiao realized the selfish nature of Ya Jiu, and never discussed feelings with that guy again.
However, the annoying thing is that Ya Jiu, who already knew about this, would often ask Wu Qiao later when he saw Wu Qiao: "How are you and the general doing? Are you making progress with the general? When did you and the general get together? When did you get together?" Take me on a date?"
For a while, Wu Qiao wanted to hide when he saw it, and he always slipped the wall when he walked.
Thoughts come back.
Wu Qiao was very scared just now, afraid that even the person in front of him would be lost.
Recently, Wu Qiao really felt that everything is fleeting, and everyone around him might suddenly leave him.
Wu Qiao didn't think about this problem in the past, so when it happened again and again, Wu Qiao was at a loss.
He felt as if he had been cursed, one or two people who were very important to him left one after another, and the speed was so fast that he didn't even have time to live a peaceful life before he was hit again.
Therefore, when he heard Tan Yan say the phrase "If I lie, you will never fall in love with me, okay?", he really felt very angry and wronged.
What kind of nonsense is this? He couldn't help thinking: What is "just let you fall in love with someone else and be happily with that person"
If it's so light and fluffy, is it over
Where did Tan Yan put his entanglements during this period of time
If Tan Yan disappears, can he really be happy
What if... I can't be happy? What if... why can't you be happy
Tan Yan never thought about... what if... what if she really... fell in love with him
Does he just ignore it
Thinking about it, Wu Qiao couldn't hold back, and unconsciously said something like "I might have fallen in love with you a little bit already".
He was also a little embarrassed after speaking, but since he had already said it, he couldn't swallow it back.
"...Are you serious?" Hearing Wu Qiao's words, Tan Yan pulled Wu Qiao's head out of his arms and held Wu Qiao's face for a long time.
Tan Yan's eyes are very lively, and his pupils are dark and deep, which can easily fascinate people.
Wu Qiao lowered his eyes and said nothing.
"Really?" Tan Yan asked again.
"...I guess so." Wu Qiao was a little reluctant to repeat.
"... seems to be? What does it mean to be like?"
"..."
Tan Yan lowered his head and kissed Wu Qiao's forehead lightly.
"..." Wu Qiao was defenseless, and he couldn't dodge at all.
Wu Qiao felt that the place where he was touched was a little itchy, but it was very comfortable. After the other party left, Wu Qiao couldn't help stretching out his hand to touch the place.
Tan Yan smiled, then nodded again, wanting to kiss Wu Qiao's lips.
Wu Qiao dodged lightly, and he dodged.
"What?" Tan Yan asked.
"That...you let me think again."
"..."
"Such a thing... I'm a little unprepared."
What Wu Qiao said was telling the truth, although he also felt a little hypocritical, but... Hugging and kissing Tan Yan... He hadn't thought about it before, and now he would be a little apprehensive.
As for the two of them really being together, it still seems a little uncertain.
Wu Qiao is a perfectionist, to a terrible degree. He couldn't accept being separated again after being together. He hopes that all feelings can go to the end. Perhaps this is really a character flaw.
It's just that he has realized at this moment that he may really love each other a little bit. Otherwise, after Tan Yan uttered the so-called "swear", he wouldn't immediately feel angry and wronged - those emotions are enough to explain many things. If he was more inclined to not love in his heart, he should feel that Tan Yan's vow was indeed quite heavy.
However, the determination to be together seems to need... a little more.
"Okay, think about it again." Tan Yan didn't urge him at all, and just patted his head, "But you must tell me as soon as you think about it."
"Yeah." Wu Qiao nodded, "I won't let you guess."
Tan Yan is also very busy... I don't like guessing.
"... as long as you know."
Wu Qiao had a feeling in his heart that he would surrender his guns and have a lover in a short time.
That... seems to work too.
"That..." After a while, Wu Qiao asked Tan Yan, "General, you haven't promised me yet."
"... what?" Tan Yan didn't react for a while.
"That is, you will always... be fine."
Wu Qiao also knew very well in his heart that no one could be sure about this kind of thing.
It's just that he still wants to hear such words.
Before, he didn't ask Sheng Chongguang, nor Su Yiqing... Now he wanted to ask Tan Yan, as if doing different things would really have different results. He never said what he had said to both Sheng Chongguang and Su Yiqing, and he seemed to think that if the living were to walk a different path from the dead at every step, they would surely miss the ending in the end.
"Yes." Tan Yan smiled, "It's all like this... how can I be willing? I will get you soon, how can I be willing to die?"
"..."
"It will be fine." Tan Yan pulled Wu Qiao into his arms again, "I'm looking forward to... we will be together every day, and we will have two more children... a boy and a girl, do you think it's okay?"
"That kind of thing is too far away." He hasn't officially agreed yet... How can Tan Yan be so sure
"Think about it."
"One man and one woman." Wu Qiao replied, "Brothers and sisters are the best."
He really thought about this question. Wu Qiao himself has only one older sister, who has always taken good care of him, causing Wu Qiao to be a bit headstrong, which he thinks is actually not good. Sometimes Wu Qiao wanted to think about her sister, but her sister always said that Wu Qiao was young. Probably for this very reason, he would have liked the boy to be older.
"After everything is over..." Tan Yan said again, "You and I will live in peace. As for the present memory, it will also become eternal after the baptism of blood and fire, passing something from the past to that 'now go."
Wu Qiao thought about it, and what Tan Yan said seemed beautiful.
It was so good that even he was looking forward to it.
He knew that Tan Yan didn't swear this time, but he felt that he was much more sincere this time.
…
In the evening, Wu Qiao asked Ji Yao to go to the restaurant for dinner.
Ji Yao didn't want to go because he had no appetite.
"Don't stay alone all the time, go to some lively places." Wu Qiao urged him, "The cafeteria is a good choice. The cafeteria... the cafeteria is the only place in the world where there is no sadness."
"... What nonsense are you talking about." Although Ji Yao complained, he finally came out.
Another day, Ji Yao seemed calmer.
Wu Qiao stared hard at Ji Yao.
"What are you doing?" Ji Yao laughed, "I'm really fine."
"..."
"Wu Qiao, actually," Ji Yao's voice did not fluctuate, "I will get used to it, I will get used to the days without him, and I will return to a peaceful life."
"... Will it really be peaceful?" Wu Qiao asked.
"Yes, it's a peaceful life." Ji Yao smiled, "It's just that it won't be a happy life anymore."
Wu Qiao: "...!!!"
"So, Wu Qiao." Ji Yao said again, "When you can be happy, cherish it as much as possible. Who knows what will happen in the future."
"Ji Yao," Wu Qiao asked a question he thought he shouldn't have asked, "Do you... regret it?"
"regret?"
"Yes, that's..." Wu Qiao hesitated for a while, "Do you think it would be better if we weren't together at the beginning? Then you won't... think so much pain now."
This was also something Wu Qiao was worried about. For the past three days, looking at Ji Yao's appearance, he couldn't help thinking, what about the rest of the people.
Ji Yao looked at Wu Qiao and smiled, as if Wu Qiao was saying something silly: "Do you think it would be better not to be together?"
"… I have no idea."
"No." Ji Yao said flatly, "It wouldn't be better not to be together. Because, despite this pain, there are also very happy days. I don't want to lose those memories."
"..."
"Wu Qiao." Ji Yao smiled, "I still prefer to seize happiness when you have it, and live the present life well first. At this time, don't think too much about the future, who knows what the future will be like, and don't take the present Missed that too."
"..." Wu Qiao was a little puzzled.
Don't... think so much...
Just let yourself be happy right now
So, just like this... promise to that person
While thinking about it, Wu Qiao suddenly heard the name "Tan Yan".
"What's wrong?!" Wu Qiao immediately paid attention to the content reflexively.
The word "Tan Yan" is completely a switch, making him prick up his ears and listen carefully.
I haven't seen you for a few minutes, it feels like a long time.
"Admiral Tan Yan..." Someone boldly gossiped, "I was scared just now!"
"What's the matter?" His companion next to him said, "What's the matter?"
"Admiral Tan Yan... just walked over while singing all the way!"
"Singing...?" The companion was also taken aback, thinking that "singing" has nothing to do with the admiral at all.
"Yes! Sing!"
"Singing must be very good?" The second person said again, "I heard that the general can do everything."
"Don't tell others, or I will die."
"Ok."
"The truth is... very scary."
"..."
"That's why I said it scared me..."
"..."
But Wu Qiao thinks that Tan Yan is quite cute.
He can probably guess why the general is in a good mood.
I don't know what's going on, but Wu Qiao is very happy. Thinking that that person would be in a good mood because of his actions, Wu Qiao also felt happy and blushed a little.
After dinner, Wu Qiao went to Darrell.
Now Darrell thinks highly of Wu Qiao and likes to discuss many things with him.
Darrell has always been free from "tradition". He called Wu Qiao whenever he thought it would be useful.
"Wuqiao," Darrell said, "we will launch a general attack soon."
"… Ok."
"I want to hear your opinion on how to deceive the opponent."
Wu Qiao pondered for a while.
"Is there anything you can do?" Darrell asked again.
"This... I think," Wu Qiao replied, "we should start from multiple angles."
"Expand in detail?" Darrell seemed very interested.
"First," Wu Qiao said, "you can tell me the wrong time."
"continue."
"Assuming that the time point when we actually launched the attack is A, we hope that the opponent thinks that the time point of the attack is B, and the time of A is earlier. In order to make the opponent fully believe it, we need to make multiple clues confirm each other, for example... we let the empire The weather forecasting agency of China helped us to make false claims, saying that the weather at our base at time A will be very bad, making them think that it is absolutely impossible for us to act on that day.”
"Oh? But it was actually a clear day? That's kind of funny," Darrell said. He also knows that Xianglong Wing is not advanced enough to detect the planet's climate by himself, and he just listens to the information sent by the imperial forecasting agency.
"Another example is the frequent transfer of troops." Wu Qiao said again, "The transfers make people unclear what we are doing. In fact, they are transferring a group of elites to other troops. Then, before the decisive battle, Our side temporarily stands still and mobilizes other troops to fight. The other party sees that we have not moved, so they naturally think that they don't need to worry."
"Ok."
"Senior officials of the military department can make some speeches. The content of the speech is to ask people to be calm and calm. We will soon defeat the wing of Xianglong... vaguely revealing the time of B."
"anything else?"
"There is also the question of the commander." Wu Qiao said again, "In recent years, there have been only two commanders for important operations against the organization: You Tiao and Dou Jiang. If the commander is Dou Jiang this time, we can use some deception Means, for example, let You Tiao frequently appear around the base, and at the same time publish many reports about Doujiang, showing that Doujiang is participating in activities everywhere, encouraging soldiers, and even arrange for people with similar looks to directly fake Doujiang! In this way, Xianglong's Seeing that You Tiao is always around the base, but Dou Jiang is showing up everywhere, he will of course think that You Tiao will be the commander, but in fact, the real Dou Jiang never left!"
"..."
"Next, make up a fictional headquarters." Wu Qiao said again, "Set up a fake headquarters in Youtiao's place, and use high-power equipment to communicate with various troops. Please trust Xianglong Wing's technology... We communicate so frequently, they They must be able to investigate the transmission line. When they find that a lot of information has recently entered and exited Youtiao's office, they will naturally think that Youtiao is the commander-in-chief."
Darrell said with great interest: "These two are also quite interesting."
"Thank you for your praise, it's a great honor." After thinking for a while, Wu Qiao said, "Several of them need to use Olivier, and then use others to complement each other, making it impossible to imagine that Olivier has been exposed."
"Of course." After hesitating for a while, Darrell said again, "There is one more thing I would like to ask for your opinion. The undercover agent we placed on Serpent Wing said... If he needs to deliver false information, he can be deliberately captured by the enemy , gave false information after being tortured."
"I..." Wu Qiao lowered his eyes, "I personally don't like this kind of thing... If it's not necessary..."
Wu Qiao knew that the empire had used this method before, and the person who ordered it was Bill who slaughtered Aquash's family back then. At that time, the empire sent a total of ten people to be deliberately captured. The ten of them were interrogated separately by the Republic, and were subjected to torture that was unbearable for most people. In the end, four of them confessed, but what they got was fake news that they had colluded with in advance. The Empire won a big victory that time, and the Republic suffered a blow. After that, the Republic cursed the Empire for being despicable, shameless, and breaking the bottom line, and even exchanged the lives of ten of the most loyal soldiers for victory. At that time, Bill said that it was worth it, because they saved more lives, and dispatched many people to find the whereabouts of the ten people. After being completely fruitless, they were recognized as heroes of the empire.
"Let's talk about it then." Darrell said, "Go and write me a deception plan and confidentiality measures, and let me consider your suggestion."
"… yes."
"It's kind of strange to think about it." Darrell's lips parted and closed, and there were white and hard stubble around his lips, "The truth... has to be defended with a series of lies."
"..."
After coming out of Darrell, Wu Qiao felt a little heavy.
Is it going to be a decisive battle again...
This time, he was not as excited as last time.
Thinking of what happened last time, he really couldn't relax.
Not long after returning to the dormitory, Tan Yan knocked on his door.
Wu Qiao also finally understood how appropriate the phrase "Admiral Tan Yan's singing is terrible" that he heard at dinner was so apt.
"General..." Wu Qiao opened his eyes and looked at Tan Yan, "You... why are you here?"
"What's wrong with me?" Tan Yan said, "You don't want me to come?"
"… no."
"Wu Qiao," Tan Yan looked at Wu Qiao, "I'll go back the day after tomorrow."
"..."
"Don't you want to... spend a little more time with me?"
"..."
"Is the day enough? Well, the day is still incomplete. You can't even say a few words. You have regular training and I have to see Darrell."
"Admiral..."
"You know," Tan Yan said again, "I planned to stay up all night and make up for the time we should be together as much as possible. This makes me very much looking forward to it."
"..."
"But you can't stay up all night, because you have something to do tomorrow, but it's always okay to squeeze in some time, let's talk for as long as you can."
"... Admiral." Wu Qiao looked at Tan Yan's hopeful eyes, hesitated again and again, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I just agreed with Ji Yao... I will go to sleep with him."
Because, Ji Yao just mentioned that during the day, he can be like a normal person, but at night he will be helpless.
Tan Yan: "...
