"Captain, please have some tea."
"Big Chief, do you want to eat fruit?"
"Big Chief, would you like me to massage your shoulders and legs?"
The new recruits who were running laps on the training ground suddenly saw a strange-looking bug coming not far away. Then, the group of veterans from the commando team surrounded him and asked him about his well-being, with extremely fawning looks. Even the usually serious captain Julian squeezed in to join in the fun.
What a weird thing is going on.
They stopped unconsciously and stood in the distance whispering:
"Who is that bug? Why is the squad leader so servile to him?"
"Could it be that the superior leader is here to inspect?" "Bullshit, that bug doesn't even have a military uniform, how could it be the leader?"
Asui also felt that he was no longer a great leader, after all, the Clet Alliance had long since died. He declined the inquiries from his old subordinates such as Quick, and his face under the brim of his hat was delicate and harmless. No one would have thought that he had been a space pirate: "I came here today to find Brand, you guys go and do your own things, don't worry about me."
Hearing this, Quick threw his military water bottle aside and looked up at the sky: "Captain, it seems to be snowing. How about I find you a place to sit? This place is usually used for new recruits to stay and train. You need to swipe your card to enter the passage of the conference building, so you can't go up."
"What should I do, Big Chief? He said there is something wrong with your training method."
Quick: "Of course, weighted running, horse stance, and boxing are all the most basic endurance training. But these recruits are too proud and don't take it seriously. They never train well, otherwise they wouldn't be running in circles until now."
Guy thought to himself, no wonder this training method was so childish, it turned out to be formulated by a male insect. He didn't want to be rude to the male insect, so he just said three words coldly: "No wonder."
Guy couldn't hold back his pride, his face turned pale and blue when he heard that: "I was caught off guard just now, if you do it again, I will definitely not let you succeed!"
Ah Sui raised his eyebrows slightly, and as soon as he loosened his grip, the hair was blown away by the cold wind: "Your speed is not good, your reaction is not good, and your endurance is not good. If you were on the battlefield, your head would have been blown off by the enemy."
I don't know how the military advisor is doing now. Is he also a pure blood
Guy was the only one with orange hair among the new recruits. Hearing this, he subconsciously touched the top of his head, unable to hide his surprise.
The recruits watching from all sides screamed and retreated, and quickly made way for them. They thought that Guy would be able to take off the male insect's hat in less than ten seconds, but they fought for nearly a minute and Guy couldn't even touch the edge.
It was the coldest these two days. It had just stopped snowing in the morning and it started snowing again. Asui wanted to say no, but suddenly remembered that he was carrying something in his hand: "Just help me find a place to put the bag. I'm afraid it will get wet."
I swear to God, Quick can guarantee that this is how Asui trained them when they were in the pirates' nest.
His character was not rigid, on the contrary, he was quite clever. He took advantage of Ah Sui's inattention and quickly attacked his head, trying to take off the hat. However, Ah Sui dodged his move with a backward spin. His body movements were so strange and exquisite that Guy couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes, let alone the hat.
"Advanced martial arts require sufficient strength to support them. If you don't have enough strength, you won't be able to perform any moves even if I give you a sword. I'm asking you to run for your own good. Build up your physical fitness first, then we can talk about other things."
Everyone was shocked when they heard the words and looked towards the source of the voice. They saw that the speaker was a tall and strong female insect with short hair. Her face was angular and her eyes were bright. She was obviously different from the other soft persimmons.
Asui thought about it and said, "I guess so."
At last he shook his head: "I am impatient and need to go back to practice!"
He always thought of himself as a man, but now that he was in the Zerg tribe, he should just follow the local customs.
The hat was a bigger target than the hair, and it fell off after a somersault. Guy couldn't help but feel that the male insect was insulting him, and gritted his teeth and said, "It doesn't take ten minutes, one minute will be enough!"
Kuik had always suspected that when the pirates broke into the prison, Major General Brand took advantage of the chaos to kill the military advisor in the suburbs in order to eliminate his "love rival". Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why three bugs went out and two came back. Unfortunately, he could only guess in his heart and would never tell Asui.
Quick narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and looked him up and down: "Guy, are you saying that there is something wrong with my training method, which may cause you to be eliminated in the end-of-year selection?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Asui suddenly rushed towards his face as fast as lightning amid everyone's exclamations. Guy felt the strong wind coming at his ears, his face changed drastically and he wanted to dodge, but Asui had already quickly retracted his attack. He shook his sleeves in full view of everyone, and there was an orange-brown hair caught between his fingers -
Asui seriously suspected that Quick was fanning the flames, and glanced at him suspiciously: "Are you sure you practiced according to my method?"
Quick found a bouquet of flowers in the bag and winked at Asui: "Are these flowers for Major General Brande?"
Guy laughed out of anger when he heard this, and felt it was ridiculous: "Are you a male insect?"
"Report to the squad leader! I don't think this kind of basic physical training will be of any help in the future on the battlefield!"
Asui's eyes flashed, and he suddenly changed his evasive state. He used a fierce little grappling move to lock Guy's wrist, and then kicked him hard on the back of the knee. There was a dull thud, and Guy knelt on one knee with a muffled groan: "Hmm!"
Tsk, where in the whole of Saliland can you find a male insect as romantic as their leader, handsome, skilled in martial arts, and most importantly, a pure blood. Quick and his friends only regretted not taking the initiative in the pirate nest, and letting go of a potential stock in vain.
The above are the original words that Asui said in the star pirates’ nest.
Guy corrected coldly: "It's not a possibility, it's a certainty!"
Asui put the bag in his hand on the ground and walked directly to the new recruit who was speaking. He raised his hand and lifted the brim of his hat, frowned and said, "I set the training method for you now. If you have any opinions, tell me."
Ah Sui thought that was so boring. He could pluck Guy's hair bald in three seconds. He pointed at the baseball cap on his head and said, "I won't take off your hair. If you can take off my hat within ten minutes, you win. How about that?"
As they were talking, Quick had already led Asui to the lounge next to the training ground. When he passed by the playground, he suddenly noticed that the new recruits were lazy and didn't run. He couldn't help but put on the airs of a squad leader and blew a whistle with a sullen face: "What are you all standing there for? Have you finished the extra laps I asked you to run just now?!"
Guy was shocked when he heard this.
The other recruits were all silent upon hearing this, preparing for a storm. However, surprisingly, Quick was neither annoyed nor angry. After thinking for a long time, he turned his head and whispered to the beautiful male insect beside him:
Ah Sui commented seriously: "Your strength is not enough. If it was enough, you should have broken free from my grasp by now! Your lower body is not stable enough either. You lost your balance after one kick!"
The recruit who spoke was named Guy. He had the best physical fitness among all the students in this class, but also the most irritating personality. He was already dissatisfied with Quick's endless laps, and now seeing that Quick was only concerned with pleasing a beautiful male insect and deliberately showing off in front of them, he stepped out and refuted his face:
Quick had been counting the time on the side, and he deliberately shouted out, "Big Chief! One minute is up!"
Although Asui knew that Kuik was suspected of secretly adding fuel to the fire, he was still a little angry. This training method was taught to his great-grandfather by his great-grandfather, and his great-grandfather taught him. There have been no problems for so many years, so how could it be useless
"I hope you can stop this useless running punishment. Now the recruits of the same level are already fighting in the virtual room, while we are still doing basic physical training and are far behind. I don't want to be eliminated in the end-of-year selection. If you disagree, I will have to complain to my superiors!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold voice suddenly sounded in the team, which seemed extremely harsh and abrupt:
Instructors like Kui Ke were watching the fun from the sidelines, hoping that Asui would dampen the enthusiasm of these new recruits. Seeing this, they immediately started to cheer and applaud: "Good! The great leader is awesome! Show them some color!"
"your hair."
Guy was furious when he heard that. He didn't care about the difference between men and women and punched Asui. Asui dodged quickly and grabbed his other hand, twisted it across his body, and threw him out with an over-the-shoulder throw as Guy screamed in pain.
"boom!"
Guy's tall figure fell heavily on the snow, sliding for several meters before finally stopping. He was dizzy from the fall, and finally stood up with the help of his comrades. He looked at Asui in shock and horror and asked: "You... Are you a male insect?!"
Damn it, all those male insects in the imperial capital are weak and frail, when did such a capable character appear? !
The other recruits were also stunned. Guy was a rare A-level female insect in this class of students. She was quite powerful. Not only did he fail to take Ah Sui's hat, but he was even thrown out by the other party. Who would believe it if he told others about it? !
Asui was about to speak when a gust of cold wind suddenly blew over, blowing the hat off his head, revealing his particularly conspicuous black hair.
Oops! His hat!
Ah Sui was startled when he saw this, and quickly picked up his hat and put it back on. However, it was too late. Guy and the others had already seen the black hair hidden under Ah Sui's hat, and they were all shocked:
Black hair and black eyes?! The Imperial Capital Star Network said a while ago that a 100% pure male insect was found. It seemed to have black hair and black eyes. Could it be Ah Sui?!
Guy asked in surprise: "You...you are not..." Asui asked curiously: "What?"
He didn't associate it with his identity at all. He just felt that his black hair was too different and he didn't want others to stare at him, so he wore a hat.
At this time, Brand had just finished the meeting and walked out of the building with a group of generals. He suddenly saw a circle of new recruits on the playground. The figure standing in the middle looked very familiar. His expression changed slightly for a moment, and he could not hide his surprise in his voice:
"A Sui?!"
Asui had sharp hearing, and he turned around subconsciously when he heard the words, only to see Brand standing right below the office building. He immediately ignored Quick and the others and ran over quickly: "Brand!"
Everyone could hear the joy in Asui's voice. He quickly ran to Brande carrying his gift bag, his eyes bright and full of smiles, completely different from the way he had just been fighting.
Brand was still having trouble coming back to his senses: "Aren't you at home? Why are you here at the military headquarters?"
Asui raised his hand to adjust his hat and said as a matter of course: "I'm here to pick you up from get off work."
He suddenly remembered something and took out a bunch of artificial flowers from a shopping bag and handed them to Brand. The bright red flowers stood out against the snow. "Do you like them? I bought them on the way here. I'm giving them to you."
Brand was stunned again when he saw the bouquet in front of him: "For me?"
He was already puzzled by the fact that Asui suddenly came to the military headquarters today. Why did he bring a bouquet of flowers
Asui was about to say something when he suddenly noticed that there were other generals standing beside Brande, all staring at him intently. He couldn't help but choke on his words and asked hesitantly, "...Are these all your colleagues?"
Brand finally realized what was going on after hearing this. He calmly pulled Asui to his side and introduced the generals on the other side to him one by one: "Asui, this is Admiral Ellis. Next to him are Section Chief Nick and Director Coleman. They are all my colleagues."
He paused after he finished speaking, and was just embarrassed about how to introduce Asui, but Admiral Ellis smiled and said, "This must be His Majesty Asui, right? When I entered the palace a few days ago, I heard from His Majesty that there was another pure-blooded His Majesty in Salilanfa. It was a pity that I was too busy with official duties to visit you. I didn't expect you to come to the military headquarters today. It's really an honor."
As he spoke, he shook hands with Asui with an extremely warm attitude. Even Section Chief Nick and Director Coleman beside him were all smiles, and they echoed, "Your Majesty, it's a great honor to meet you."
Ah Sui is not good at socializing, so he could only bite the bullet and respond, "I'm glad to meet you, too."
After saying this, Asui used a little effort to pull the hand out of Major General Ellis's hand, gave him an awkward smile, then quietly hid behind Brand, and lowered his voice and said from behind: "Brand, I have something to tell you."
Brand always felt that Asui was a little strange today. He saw that there were more and more onlookers around him. It was likely that many female soldiers had discovered Asui's identity. He could only say goodbye to Admiral Ellis and the others: "Sorry, I suddenly remembered that I didn't take a document. I have to excuse myself first."
Admiral Ellis and his men understood what was going on. They looked at Brand and Asui, thinking that the military had rumors that Brand was an unmarried man who was unlucky in love, so why did His Majesty seem to care about Brand
Admiral Ellis said, "Go ahead. This is His Majesty Asui's first time at the military headquarters. You can show him around."
Brand nodded: "Yes."
He took Ah Sui's hand and turned away, whispering, "If you have anything to say, go to my office and talk."
Brand's office was just upstairs, but it was lunchtime and the corridor was filled with female soldiers heading to the cafeteria for lunch. As they passed by, they attracted a lot of attention along the way, especially since Brand was holding a bouquet of flowers that made her presence very noticeable, and it was impossible for Chong to ignore her.
Asui, whether intentionally or not, took off his hat and walked to the office door with Brande, leaving behind whispers of surprise or jealousy.
"Who is that male insect? Why is he so close to Major General Brand?"
"Black hair and black eyes, could this be the legendary pure-blooded His Majesty?!"
"Who on earth said that Major General Brande was neglected because he was paying for his love? His Majesty not only gave him flowers, but also smiled at him. It seems that they have a very good relationship."
Brand took Asui into the office and closed the door, blocking out the noisy discussions outside. He looked at the carefully selected artificial flowers in his arms, and a strange emotion flowed in his heart. He couldn't help but look up at Asui: "Why did you come out today?"
Asui was sitting behind his desk studying Brand's swivel chair. He turned slowly in the chair without explaining why. He just asked earnestly, "Do you like it?"
Of course Brand liked it. He even found a vase to put the bouquet in and trimmed it with the scissors on the table: "Yeah, I like it. This is the first time I've received flowers."
Asui suddenly stopped turning his chair when he heard this, and stood up and sat down at the desk. He leaned closer to Brande who was pruning the branches, his ears red, and said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, the money for buying flowers is yours~"
Hearing this, Brand put down the scissors in his hand and shook his head slightly. He didn't understand why Asui always cared about these issues. He said in a low voice: "Asui, there is no need to be so clear between us."
If he really thought about it, if Ah Sui hadn't saved him, he might not be alive today. They were friends who had risked their lives together, and talking about this would inevitably make people feel hurt.
Hearing this, Asui subconsciously touched the small box in his pocket and asked shyly, "Really? Actually, I bought something for you. I wonder if you like it."
Brand was curious: "What is it?"
Asui hesitated for a moment, and finally took out a black velvet box from his pocket. When Brande saw what was inside, his heart skipped a beat, but the next second Asui took his hand and slowly put a glittering mother-of-pearl ring on his ring finger: "Brande, this ring is for you."
It was the first time Ah Sui proposed, so he was inevitably a little awkward: "My great-grandfather said that you have to use a ring when you propose. Are you...are you willing to marry me?"
After he finished speaking, his cheeks gradually turned red. He closed his mouth tightly and waited anxiously for Brand's reaction.
"… "
Brand lowered his head and carefully examined the ring in his hand. His eyelashes trembled for a moment, and he didn't say anything for a long time. There was surprise and disbelief in the depths of his eyes, and finally only indescribable joy remained, just like the moonlight filling the night, bright and soft.
After an unknown amount of time, Brand finally looked up at Asui. His eyes were so gentle that one dared not look directly at them, as if one would drown in them. His voice was deep and intoxicating: "Asui, are you really willing to be my partner?"
Ah Sui blushed and nodded, then said seriously, "Yeah."
As soon as he finished speaking, his cheeks suddenly felt warm, and Brand leaned over to kiss him. Asui's pupils slightly dilated, and he felt something cold quietly put on his hand. He raised his hand and saw that a simple-colored ring had appeared on his ring finger. There was a newly embedded gem in the middle. He didn't know what material it was made of, but it was particularly gorgeous under the sunlight.
Ah Sui was surprised and asked, "What is this?"
Brand paused when he heard this, but he was unwilling to stop the kiss, so he uttered two words vaguely: "Ring."
Ah Sui blinked. He knew it was a ring. "When did you buy it?"
Brand had no choice but to straighten up and explain in a low voice: "It's not a bought one, it's a family heirloom ring."
His slender fingertips slowly stroked the gem inlaid on it, as if stroking thousands of years of history in the south, and said meaningfully: "There is a piece of my wing in it."
Brand had prepared the ring since the day Asui said she wanted to marry him. He had been waiting for the male insect to propose to him and had even made plans to wait for a long time, but he did not expect that this day would come so soon.
Voila, the ritual is complete.
Brand knew that he had made the right choice.
Asui was always particularly happy when receiving gifts. Upon hearing this, without Brand taking the initiative, he pushed the female insect against the desk and kissed her from head to toe, as if he wanted to complete the partner ceremony here.
Brand always followed him, gently holding Asui's face and kissing him over and over again.
This was a tough time for the female soldiers who were standing outside the office waiting to watch the fun. Their legs were numb from standing before they saw Major General Brand and His Majesty come out. Given the intelligence department's natural skills, they quickly discovered some minor anomalies.
For example, the flowers in Major General Brand's arms seemed to be missing
For example, both he and His Majesty have an extra ring on their hands
Another example...
Both insects had slightly red faces and looked like they had done nothing good.
