For Duan Hengye, these ten hours were both long and short. I don't know what was added to the nutrient solution, but after he entered the cabin for a while, he felt sleepy. At the same time, the toxin also began to move in the body, and a dull pain that could not be ignored spread across Duan Hengye's body.
If you want to describe it in words, this process is like breaking the bones of the body and splicing them back together bit by bit. Due to the fact that he was in the nutrition cabin now, Duan Hengye was surrounded by that dark blue liquid. When he first entered the cabin, Duan Hengye accidentally took a sip. The taste was not good, not too bitter but extremely astringent.
So along with the coming waves of pain, the man floating in the nutrient solution had to grit his teeth. After an unknown amount of time, Duan Hengye finally fell into a drowsy sleep. The moment before he closed his eyes, he still saw Meng Jinhuai standing quietly outside the nutrition cabin.
During this period of sleep, Heng Ye didn't feel comfortable at all, because the pain in his body was constantly eroding his nerves, and he had nightmares one after another in the past few hours. Duan Hengye couldn't remember the specific plot of the dream now—it was probably the scene from the previous life that kept replaying in his mind, especially the moment he was stabbed to death by a knife, which was repeated several times. In addition to these, Duan Hengye felt that he had also seen the explosion more than ten years ago...
The small window on the side of the room gently opened a gap, and warm sunlight spilled into the room through the gap. It was a beam of orange-yellow light that seemed extra warm when it fell on the off-white sheets.
It is now the afternoon of Nanzhuxing, and along with the sun, there is a gentle warm wind falling into the house. It is mixed with the special fragrance of some plants, and everything is extraordinarily gentle.
After having a big dream, Duan Hengye opened his eyes again and saw the light-colored ceiling, and he actually had a feeling of being in a different world. He didn't even know for a while whether he was on Earth or Nanzhuxing.
I don't know if it was because of the fact that he just came out of the nutrition cabin. Although Duan Hengye woke up, he still didn't have much energy. He moved his fingers slowly, and then he felt discomfort and stiffness in the joints. However, Duan Hengye soon realized that he was in a good state now, and it seemed that apart from the lack of strength in his body, the pain just now had completely disappeared.
Duan Hengye lay down on the bed for a while with his eyes open, and after feeling his strength gradually returning, he slowly sat up. At this moment, the wooden door of the bedroom was pushed open from the outside. Duan Hengye saw that Meng Jinhuai in gray home clothes came out, and there was a robot behind him.
"Wake up." After entering the door and seeing Duan Hengye, Meng Jinhuai smiled at him as usual, then walked to the bed and sat down. Although Duan Hengye knew that he had recovered now, but after seeing Meng Jinhuai's expression as if nothing had happened, he was stunned... Meng Jinhuai's performance was really calm, just like the previous ten A few hours was Duan Hengye's own dream.
But this feeling didn't last long. By nature, Duan Hengye didn't seem to like being the center of the crowd. On the contrary, too much concern can make him feel a little overwhelmed.
After Meng Jinhuai sat on the edge of the bed, he slowly stretched out his hand to straighten Duan Hengye's messy hair on the pillow. Then he said, "Let's get up and have breakfast, it's been a day." After speaking, Meng Jinhuai stood up, then stretched out his hand towards Duan Hengye and gently pulled him up.
At this time, Duan Hengye's strength had gradually returned.
"Although the toxins have been cleaned out, it will take some time for the body to fully recover." Meng Jinhuai turned around and said to Duan Hengye seriously, "During this period of time, a simulation experiment is being conducted, so you stay on Nanzhuxing. Rest well."
Although Meng Jinhuai's words were not very heavy, but combined with his expression, Duan Hengye read from his words that he couldn't refuse.
However, what the Marshal said was not wrong. Now that the experiment has reached the simulation stage, Duan Hengye has nothing very important to do during this time. Although he was still secretly planning to take advantage of this time, he continued to learn how to drive on Nanzhuxing. But after hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye nodded seriously at him.
Duan Hengye stepped on his slippers and walked into the bathroom. After he came out for a while, he saw that Meng Jinhuai was already sitting on the sofa in the bedroom, looking at his brain. By the side of the Marshal, the white porcelain bowl was still quietly emitting heat.
Seeing Duan Hengye come out, Meng Jinhuai looked away from the light brain. After a while, the warm beam of light in the room slowly moved to Meng Jinhuai's side. At this moment, half of his body was hidden in the darkness, and the other half was illuminated by the beam. The picture looks very beautiful, like an oil painting.
After coming over, Duan Hengye sat on the other side of the table and took out the spoon from the porcelain bowl. Although he didn't feel anything just now, after he really smelled the aroma in the bowl, Duan Hengye finally felt hungry.
Due to the special medicine he was taking, Duan Hengye had been fasting for a long time, he just injected some nutrient solution before entering the laboratory. Although those nutrients can ensure physical consumption, they cannot eliminate people's hunger.
Duan Hengye couldn't help but leaned in and smelled it, then gently picked up the spoon. I don't know if it's because I've been hungry for a long time, after Duan Hengye tasted it, he felt that the soup tasted really good, and then he showed a surprised expression. After seeing his appearance, Meng Jinhuai, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but ask, "How is it?"
"It tastes good." Duan Hengye put down the things in his hand and said seriously. As someone who doesn't know much about praise, although Duan Hengye's language is very simple, his expression is serious enough. So after hearing what he said, Meng Jinhuai leaned back on the back of the chair very satisfied, and then said with some pride, "I did it."
Although it was not the first time to eat Meng Jinhuai's food, Duan Hengye couldn't help showing a surprised expression after hearing what he said. Although Meng Jinhuai's works tasted good last time, they were all simple home-cooked dishes. This time is different. From the various rich ingredients at the bottom of the bowl, it can be seen that this bowl of soup is very rich in ingredients. After all, Duan Hengye has been in this world for a while, so he knows that these materials are not easy to handle, and it is difficult to do well.
Duan Hengye guessed that Meng Jinhuai had probably been preparing for a long time...
After waking up and seeing Meng Jinhuai, Duan Hengye's emotion in his heart never disappeared. But now, after knowing that what he was holding was made by the other party, Duan Hengye even felt that the bowl in his hand became heavy.
In fact, Duan Hengye could clearly feel that when he first crossed into this world, Meng Jinhuai was also gentle and true, but that kind of gentleness was obviously perfunctory and stylized. But now, Meng Jinhuai is no longer as deliberately intimate as before, but the gentleness revealed inadvertently is more likely to make people intoxicated.
Especially Duan Hengye knew that such Meng Jinhuai could only be seen by himself. In front of him, Meng Jinhuai was not a marshal of the Yetian Empire, let alone an interstellar war god, just an ordinary man.
Duan Hengye wrote everything that was in his mind on his face, but he didn't notice that the corner of his mouth could not help but bring a smile to his face.
Meng Jinhuai also noticed this, probably because of the removal of toxins, both of them were in a particularly good mood. Taking advantage of Duan Hengye's next breakfast time, Meng Jinhuai briefly explained the progress of the simulation experiment in the last ten hours.
The time seemed to be gained extra quickly this morning. It seemed that without saying a word, Meng Jinhuai received news from the military and went back to the meeting. After Meng Jinhuai left, Duan Hengye suddenly felt a little lost.
Duan Hengye knew that he was a person who was prone to getting too immersed after entering the research state, so he did not directly turn on his optical brain to work as usual.
After thinking for a while, Duan Hengye changed his clothes, then walked out of the bedroom and wandered around in the Marshal's Mansion. As a top habitable planet, Nan Zhuxing has a very good scenery. Duan Hengye knew this for a long time, but he didn't have much time to take a serious look here.
Now taking advantage of this rare rest time, Duan Hengye finally left and began to visit this place that he had lived in for a long time, but had not really understood it.
At this time, the scope of Heng Ye's activities entered the work area of the Marshal's Mansion. This morning was the busiest time for work, and the corridors and the outdoor garden were quiet. If you don't say it, I am afraid that no one will think that this is the office area of Nanzhuxing, but will regard it as a quiet and uninhabited park.
It didn't take long for Duan Hengye to meet an acquaintance here—Yu Xinlan.
In fact, General Yu was originally here to work. She had just finished a meeting when she turned around and saw Duan Hengye in the corridor. Duan Hengye heard footsteps in his ears, looked up and saw Yu Xinlan who was wearing a white dress walking towards him.
After seeing Duan Hengye, Yu Xinlan seemed very happy. She first looked at Duan Hengye from a distance, and then said, "Just now, the Marshal said that you have recovered. I was still hesitating whether to come and see you. I didn't expect to meet you directly here."
After he finished speaking, Yu Xinlan gave another "tsk", and then continued: "It seems to be recovering well, you don't know... How nervous the Marshal was before." Although Yu Xinlan's tone was a bit exaggerated , but Duan Hengye could see from her relieved expression that those words were not false.
It's just that when he woke up just now, Meng Jinhuai was very relaxed...
Seeing Duan Hengye's slightly puzzled expression. Yu Xinlan immediately understood what was going on. So Duan Hengye saw Yu Xinlan's eyes change, and then his tone suddenly calmed down and said to himself: "When you were in the nutrition cabin, the Marshal was always guarding outside, without resting for a minute... When the test is over, After coming back here, he also moved his work over."
Speaking of this, Yu Xinlan paused for a while, as if she was thinking. After a while, she continued: "In short, I have known each other for so many years. This is the first time I have seen a marshal put work second."
When listening to Yu Xinlan's words, Duan Hengye couldn't help but look down at the carpet under his feet. He didn't notice that at the same time, Yu Xinlan was silently observing himself.
Seeing that Duan Hengye didn't respond for a long time, Yu Xinlan finally patted Duan Hengye on the shoulder again and sighed, "Master Marshal has really changed..."
Although recently, Yu Xinlan has often been shown by the "undercurrent" between Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai. But after a long time, she found that, comparing Dongfang and Wen, they actually had a feeling of falling in love when they were students. Although this feeling is equally good, but according to Xinlan, it seems a little strange to appear in a couple who have been married for a long time.
After thinking about it for a while, Yu Xinlan attributed it to Duan Hengye's "not enlightenment".
After finishing the call, Yu Xinlan briefly chatted with Duan Hengye and left here—she could already feel Duan Hengye's absent-mindedness. However, Yu Xinlan's purpose was really achieved. Just after she turned to leave, Duan Hengye stood there for a while, then walked to the window next to her, and began to stun in rare moments.
…
Duan Hengye was a person who couldn't stay idle. He knew that it was not suitable for him to continue his research. After the afternoon, he began to recompile the textbook for mecha. This matter is extremely simple for Duan Hengye now, and it is almost only necessary to integrate the content and data collected in the previous class.
Compared with the time when Duan Hengye first entered this world, his understanding of teaching has gradually changed. Therefore, this book is also separated from the simple materials and achievements of the past, and is truly instructive and educational.
But within half a day, Duan Hengye had already sorted out the general skeleton.
After seeing the time, Duan Hengye slowly stretched and sat up from the office chair. Although the grooming is not over yet, it is now seven o'clock in the afternoon. Duan Hengye knew that he couldn't work a lot while he was recovering, so he ended today's task very early.
It was also at this time that Duan Hengye's bright brain received a message from Meng Jinhuai. Meng Jinhuai was reminding Duan Hengye to finish work and it was time for dinner.
After all, Meng Jinhuai is a busy marshal, and according to Yu Xinlan, he probably has accumulated a lot of affairs these days. Today's dinner is not like the morning when the Marshal did it himself. After entering the restaurant, Duan Hengye was surprised by the pile of rich dishes on the table.
Although the upper echelons of Ye Tian Empire advocate luxury, the Marshal's Mansion has always been very low-key, and dinners here are rarely filled with a large table like today.
Seeing Duan Hengye coming over, Meng Jinhuai also stood up from his chair and said to him, "This is made by someone invited from other places in Nanzhuxing, I hope it suits your taste." Obviously, there were a lot of things on the table today. Everything is celebrating his "recovery from a serious illness".
With the call from Yu Xinlan this morning, Duan Hengye looked at Meng Jinhuai with a complicated look. But fortunately Duan Hengye felt this himself, he sat down on the stool with his head down, and then looked at the things in front of him casually.
Although it does not like luxury like most of the royal family and the empire's nobles, the Nanzhuxing Marshal's Mansion also has a lot of attention. For example, every meal here will be put in front of a lot of dishes that are not used at all. Duan Hengye never cared about these before. But today, in order to cover up his emotions, Duan Hengye actually observed the past one by one.
Because tonight's dinner was more formal, apart from the dishes that were there before, Duan Hengye alone had four glasses of different sizes filled with liquids of various colors in front of him. After seeing these cups, Duan Hengye couldn't help but feel a little curious, then picked them up one by one, put them on the tip of his nose and sniffed gently.
... Although Duan Hengye rarely drinks drinks, the contents of three of the cups can still be smelled. Only the fourth cup was filled with light red liquid, Duan Hengye couldn't tell what was in it even after smelling it for a long time.
Involuntarily, Duan Hengye took the cup a little further away and looked at it. I saw that the glass in his hand was slender and long, much like a champagne glass on earth. The light red liquid contained in it also has small bubbles emerging from time to time.
"What is this?" Duan Hengye couldn't help asking Meng Jinhuai.
Then Duan Hengye saw that Meng Jinhuai, who was sitting opposite him, also picked up the glass. After sniffing, Meng Jinhuai thought for a while and read out a name that Duan Hengye had not heard before. After saying that, the Marshal couldn't help frowning and said, "This is a very popular drink in the interstellar space, but I don't seem to have prepared it today."
Although the drink is only a small thing, but after thinking of this, Meng Jinhuai took the light brain next to him, and after looking at it for a while, he said, "... This is from Yu Xinlan."
Sending drinks to Xinlan? After hearing this, Duan Hengye was stunned for a moment. At first glance, this matter seems to be really strange, but when it falls on Xinlan, it seems to be... unexpectedly reasonable.
Although Duan Hengye didn't understand what Yu Xinlan was doing for the time being, after hearing Meng Jinhuai's answer, he held up the cup again out of curiosity, and took a sip.
Just like what Meng Jinhuai said just now, Duan Hengye was holding a very popular drink in Interstellar. After drinking it, Duan Hengye felt that the taste of this thing was really good. As someone who wasn't much interested in drinks, Duan Hengye couldn't help but pick it up again after taking a sip.
This cup is not big at all, and the bottom is seen in a few moments. After realizing this, the robot that had been standing in the corner of the restaurant suddenly moved. It came over with a withered rose-colored glass bottle, and then poured the liquid inside into Duan Hengye's glass.
After seeing this scene, Meng Jinhuai, who was sitting opposite, finally remembered something.
"By the way, A-Heng, this drink contains alcohol." Meng Jinhuai reminded.
"Huh?" He really felt that the taste of the things in his hand had nothing to do with "wine". After hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said, "The toxins have been removed, so there should be no problem, right? "
In fact, before, drinking or not drinking will not affect Duan Hengye, let alone now. After hearing Duan Hengye's cautious tone, Meng Jinhuai smiled and shook his head and said, "Of course not, I'm just reminding you." I have to admit that Yu Xinlan is indeed a person who is very knowledgeable about food. Meng Jinhuai did not expect that Duan Hengye would actually like this alcoholic drink so much.
After hearing Meng Jinhuai's answer, Duan Hengye let go even more. It didn't take long for him to finish all the drinks that Yu Xinlan sent. Seeing the food on the table was only a little empty, Meng Jinhuai's expression couldn't help but feel a little helpless, but the smile on his face never left - Meng Jinhuai likes this now "popular" Duan Hengye. He is no longer the omnipotent Professor Duan, but an ordinary young man in his twenties.
It was only at this time that Duan Hengye realized later that... In fact, this thing that tasted no different from ordinary drinks also had alcohol content. It didn't take long for Duan Hengye to feel that the scene in front of him began to sway. Although it wasn't as serious as "seeing gold stars" or seeing things with double images, the remaining rationality still told Duan Hengye—himself. It seemed that he drank too much, dinner was over, the marshal's robot began to clean up the things on the table, and Meng Jinhuai also stood up. However, he found that Duan Hengye didn't mean to get up now, but suddenly sat there silently staring at the table. Seeing this scene, Meng Jinhuai couldn't help but feel a little funny.
"What's wrong?" After observing for a while, Meng Jinhuai finally couldn't help but ask.
After hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye raised his head. He pursed his lips and was silent for a while, then finally frowned and said to Meng Jinhuai seriously, "I think... I seem to be drinking too much."
Duan Hengye spoke in a slightly nasal voice at this time, which was very different from the usual him. With such a voice and a serious expression, the lethality increased exponentially... Seeing this, Meng Jinhuai came over, then stretched out and pulled Duan Hengye up gently, "Then take a good rest." He said .
"Yeah." Although Duan Hengye was a little drunk, his walking was not affected. After gently standing up, he stood still, and Meng Jinhuai couldn't help but look down.
Just as Meng Jinhuai lowered his head, he saw Duan Hengye raised his eyes and smiled, and then a light kiss landed on the corner of his mouth.
…
