In Gravity Training Room No. 01, Pojun was diligently directing the small robots to clean up the mess. In order to avenge the last few punches and mend her broken face, Meijielin dragged Weiyin to compete, but she couldn't stop herself halfway and overturned the equipment rack, leaving pieces all over the floor.
After quickly calculating in her mind, Mei Jie Lin spoke first and waved her hand generously: "As for the compensation, just deduct it from Wei Yin's salary account!"
It embodies the meaning of "harming your brothers without making yourself poor".
Wei Yin pointed his finger at himself and said in shock: "Deduct from my account?"
Mei Jie Lin said confidently: "What else? Think about it carefully, isn't the responsibility all on you? Are you going to deduct my money?"
Wei Yin always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. He was so anxious that he scratched his head. It was Lu Fenghan who made the final decision: "Mei Jielin will pay 60% of the compensation, and the rest will be deducted from Wei Yin's account."
Mei Jie Lin felt guilty and regretful about her remaining balance, but she did not dare to appeal and reluctantly accepted the compensation.
The training room was still being cleaned up and could not be used for the time being. Lu Fenghan looked at the time and it was almost time for lunch, so he took Qi Yan to the kitchen.
Mei Jie Lin "tsk tsk" twice, folded her hands and muttered: "It's terrible, I can't believe that the person who goes into the kitchen on time to cook at noon and night now is the commander-in-chief who used to get hungry and stomach cramps when something happened, and would only open a pack of nutritional supplements to fill his stomach!"
While sighing, he took honest steps and followed Lu Fenghan nimbly, ready to shamelessly go to the kitchen to have a proper lunch.
Although Lu Fenghan despised it, he still made a soup pot for five people out of public morality. The soup and vegetables were ready-made, and he was only responsible for lighting the stove. He also fried a separate portion of fried rice for Qi Yan. The aroma made Wei Yin and Mei Jie Lin wrinkle their noses.
In the rising white steam, Mei Jielin finished most of the bowl of rice in a blink of an eye. She held the soup spoon and wondered belatedly: "The commander didn't lock us out of the kitchen today! Is there a festival? Why are we being treated so well suddenly?"
As time goes by, the calendar turns page by page, but people who have been drifting in space for a long time have no concept of dates and seasons. Apart from being sensitive to rest days, they can only judge whether it is the founding day and the New Year by whether there are more dishes in the kitchen.
Lu Fenghan picked up a piece of green vegetable for Qi Yan, tapped the edge of the bowl twice with his chopsticks, and said calmly, "Eat yours."
It was obvious that he disliked Mei Jie Lin for talking too much.
Pojun joined the chat: "I checked the calendar, today is indeed a holiday."
Meijielin became interested: "What festival?"
Po Jun replied: "Alliance Ai Ya Day."
Let’s just call it Love Teeth Day, which can barely be considered a holiday. Mei Jielin recalled: “When I was a child, I lived in an orphanage. Every time this day came, a large group of people would come with dentists to check our teeth, and boxes of toiletries would be brought into the yard. Some would see me running around in the yard and shed a few tears with their handkerchiefs, and the photographers who followed me would quickly take pictures.”
Wei Yin drank a mouthful of soup and asked, "Why did you live in an orphanage when you were a child?"
"Didn't I mention it?" Mei Jie Lin thought about it carefully. It seemed that she really hadn't mentioned it. After all, she came to the front line to fight. There was no reason for her to shout to everyone that she grew up in an orphanage.
"I don't know who my parents are. According to the records, I was born in a private IVF breeding center, which used artificial uterus. Later, the company went bankrupt. I and many other babies were not claimed by anyone, so the boss packed them up and sold them at wholesale prices. Within two years, the buyer was caught for illegal activities, and I was sent to an orphanage with other children."
The more Mei Jielin recalled, the more interested she became. "When I was a child, I had a lot of energy. I could sleep for seven hours and last a whole day. I would chase the childcare robot around whenever I wanted. The dean got a headache when he saw me, saying that someone like me would probably have to go to military school to use up all my energy.
I didn’t quite understand what a military academy was, and I thought it was nice to be able to wander around. Then I ended up in the First Military Academy, and then I was picked up by the commander and assigned to the expeditionary force.”
Wei Yin looked sympathetic and said, "It sounds like you weren't very smart when you were a kid."
Mei Jielin rolled her eyes, but didn't know how to refute it - she seemed a little stupid when she was a child.
She has always suspected that the private breeding institution was secretly conducting illegal experiments, which affected her brain development process when she was a child.
Weiin thought again that although Meijielin always slept with different men and had a lot of casual affairs, she always said that she wanted to settle down and sleep with only one man.
It turns out that he was not just saying it as a joke.
Thinking of this, he felt sorry for his brother and picked up a piece of meat for her.
Looking at the extra slices of meat in the bowl, Meijielin was a little frightened.
She thought of something and kicked Long Xiyun from under the table. She blinked and said, "Well, since we've come to this point, can I ask you something?"
Seeing her gaze fall on the scar at the end of his eye, Long Xiyun said calmly: "I lived in Lano when I was a child."
With the star map in her mind, Mei Jie Lin immediately asked, "Which planet is close to the front line in the Southern Cross Region?"
“Well, my father died in the bombing of the rebels, and my mother died of illness when I was twelve, leaving me and my sister.
When I was fourteen, the rebels reached the vicinity of Lano. The chief executive of Lano asked us to evacuate immediately, with underage children going first. So my sister and I boarded the evacuation starship together.
Halfway through, the rebels' missiles hit the starship, and we successfully entered the escape capsule, but the escape capsule where my sister was was cracked by shrapnel, and the oxygen leaked."
Long Xiyun did not tell the ending, but just skipped it and said, "The scar was left at that time."
After hearing this, the table fell silent for a moment. Mei Jielin pinched her thigh, feeling very annoyed that she had exposed Long Xiyun's sore spot - she had not expected that there would be such a story behind the scar.
Instead, Long Xiyun spoke up: "It happened a long time ago, and I have already taken revenge. The scar is only left as a reminder."
Mei Jie Lin did not ask what the reminder was for. She stood up and took out a few bottles of drinks from the refrigerator. She introduced them with a smile, "Come here, I brought them back from the ground last time I took a break. I heard that they even asked Fujilina to be the spokesperson. I saw that the reviews on Star Online were very good."
Qi Yan also took a bottle in his hand and recognized it at a glance as the low-alcohol fruit drink he drank in the kitchen last time.
Lu Fenghan also recognized it and held the bottle in his hand and looked at it for two more seconds.
The topic turned to the accuracy of long-range missiles. If there hadn't been a steaming pot of soup on the table, passers-by might have thought that the top leaders of the expeditionary force were holding a strategic and technical seminar.
When Qi Yan suddenly leaned his head on Lu Fenghan's shoulder, Mei Jielin, who was sitting opposite him, held her chopsticks and asked in surprise: "Is this... drunk?"
Lu Fenghan looked at the empty drink bottle and said helplessly, "Yeah, I'm drunk."
Whether in the First Military Academy or within the Expeditionary Force, everyone around Metierin seemed to have a natural alcohol tolerance. This was the first time she had seen someone with such a low alcohol tolerance - they could get drunk even by drinking low-alcohol fruit drinks!
Qi Yan was very well behaved when he was drunk. He half-closed his eyes, didn't make any noise, and just stayed close to Lu Fenghan, as if there was a layer of adhesive on Lu Fenghan that stuck to him and couldn't be torn apart.
Holding Qi Yan's shoulders to stand up, Lu Fenghan picked him up horizontally.
Qi Yan's hands unconsciously grasped the fabric of Lu Fenghan's clothes, and she buried her face in his arms, leaving only the red tips of her ears exposed under her black hair.
Lu Fenghan raised his chin towards them and said, "Remember to clean up the kitchen after dinner."
After giving the instructions, he carried the person away.
Back in the lounge, Lu Fenghan put the person on the bed and coaxed Qi Yan to let go.
When he turned around to get his silk pajamas from the closet, he saw Qi Yan sitting up in a daze, looking around with an unfocused gaze.
"What are you looking for?"
After two seconds, Qi Yan replied, "Looking for the general."
These few words suddenly hit Lu Fenghan's heart, and he had to admit that Qi Yan always had the ability to make him confused in an instant.
After changing into pajamas, Qi Yan suddenly fell on Lu Fenghan without any warning. Lu Fenghan held her and took several steps back, stopping only when his back hit the metal wall.
Before he could say anything, Qi Yan kissed him directly, and the fruity scent mixed with the slightly drunken smell passed into Lu Fenghan's lips and teeth along with the kiss.
Worried that the ground was cold, Lu Fenghan let Qi Yan kiss him without any rules, while he put one hand around his waist and lifted him up, letting Qi Yan's bare feet step on his insteps and stroking his thin back soothingly.
Hearing Qi Yan's vague words, Lu Fenghan was very patient: "What?"
Grasping Lu Fenghan's clothes, Qi Yan licked them with the tip of his tongue and asked in a vague voice: "Blow it, your lips are hot."
Lu Fenghan laughed when he heard this: "You can't have it blown here, but you can cool down if you want." After saying that, he took the initiative and directly kissed Qi Yan's thin lips.
Compared with the action of praying just now, there is a qualitative difference in technique.
"It's useless... It's getting even hotter." Qi Yan was already drowsy, and now her mind was confused by the kiss. She rested her head on Lu Fenghan's shoulder and spoke without any context, "I used to think that forgetting was a gift from fate."
His voice was slightly low, very light, and a little unclear.
Lu Fenghan remembered that when he was in Leto, he asked Qi Yan if he would be sad if he couldn't forget something that was very sad.
This was the answer to Qi Yan's question at that time.
"Why can't I forget so many things I want to forget no matter what? I'm... very sad, very heavy, and also very," Qi Yan paused, as if looking for the right words, and continued after two breaths, "and very scared."
Lu Fenghan leaned against the metal wall, holding the person in his arms with one hand, and listened to him carefully.
“But I’m glad now.”
Rubbing his lips against Qi Yan's hair, Lu Fenghan asked him softly, "Why?"
"Because I won't forget, I can keep every second I spent with the general in my memory."
