Ryan didn't pierce Oston's helplessness and shyness concealed under his calm, he naturally called him to eat, it happened to be lunch time, and the desk serving as a dining table was filled with simple but delicious food. Taking advantage of Alston's bath time, Ryan hurried to the big kitchen, bought some lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes and purple cabbage, and boiled chicken breast shredded into strips. Drizzle with vinaigrette and sprinkle with ground black pepper for an appetizing and refreshing salad. If he hadn't been on good terms with John in the kitchen, he might not have been able to buy these things.
The Xingtian ship docked at B612 does not get much supplies. B612 is a remote, barren, cold planet, and its own products are not rich. People living here eat several kinds of food in rotation, which is nothing new. The warships docked on each cruise will bring hope to everyone. All kinds of nutritional supplements that the soldiers feel are very popular among the locals. The Xingtian Ship will sell a large part at a very low price, which will improve the living standards of the local soldiers and civilians. Also clear inventory.
The big galley of Xingtian warship has become very stingy without supplies. If Ryan is not a VIP customer of the big kitchen, otherwise it would be difficult to buy ingredients from them. Able to replenish fresh food in large quantities.
612's specialty small fried fish, wolf poisonous beast's tough lean meat has become the main dish in the kitchen recently. If it weren't for the two-horned snake's body being too unpalatable, in order to control inventory consumption, the frantic head chef might have Let all the soldiers on the ship eat grilled two-horned snakes, steamed two-horned snakes, braised two-horned snakes... the soldiers will scream.
Alston pulled out his chair and sat down at the table. A bowl of warm corn juice, yam, and walnut drink was delivered to him, followed by multigrain rice mixed with rye, quinoa, and rice. Ryan, who was mostly of Chinese descent I prefer this kind of diet, with vegetables and rice, and a combination of meat and vegetables, which supplements carbohydrates and nutrition while satisfying the appetite.
Alston said thank you, and took a sip of the corn juice yam walnut drink. The warm taste was soothing to the stomach, and the tiny sugar particles in it would slowly melt on the tip of the tongue. He saw a pile of new books piled up in the inner corner of the table , all of which are for second-level mecha restorers to read. On the top is the second-level exam outline, a summary of knowledge points, and 10,000 items that must be learned.
"Have you started to read the content of the second-level exam?"
Ryan, who was splitting the steak, took a look at the pile of books. There was no way to buy new books in B612. These were bought from Captain Su Ming. Savings can also promote communication and tacit understanding within the team.
"At the beginning, I think it's quite simple. It's just an increase on the basis of the first level..." Ryan could say hundreds of new knowledge points in one go, but now it's his lunch time with Auston, so he won't say anything. up. "There are still three months until the exam in August this year, and we can take it when we return to the ground base after our cruise, just in time to get a new qualification certificate before going home."
Driving with a license at a slow speed can take the fast lane, and driving without a license can only slow down and jam in place. Ryan is now the latter. In today's social environment, he must obtain a relevant qualification certificate to prove his ability A's talent is aggrieved.
Alston was stunned, time passed so quickly, it was not long before the next exam. I was a little annoyed to find that I didn't care as much for Ryan as I thought.
As if he knew what Auston was thinking, Ryan said: "You have a lot of things to do and you are busy with work. Don't worry about these little things. Just wait and see my qualification certificate. We didn't celebrate our first wedding anniversary properly. The two anniversaries must be different."
When he first got married, Auston only regarded it as a means to accomplish his goals, and never thought that the development of marriage would be so beautiful. He nodded, secretly remembering that special day in his heart.
"How is Serra?" Ryan asked about this vulnerable opponent, who was defeated so easily that he had no sense of accomplishment at all.
Alston said: "According to the regulations, he was relieved of all his duties and confinement for one month. He is an external employee, and the place of confinement is his own room. During confinement, the connection between his personal terminal and the outside world is restricted. "
After finishing speaking, Oston frowned slightly. Colonel William had already shown the small device installed by Serra on the nerve center code-named zero. William said that there were 24 layers of codes on the device, and if one layer failed to be broken, it would be destroyed. The core codenamed zero.
Once this happened, the biological mech that once dominated the battlefield would be destroyed.
Serra kept a hand from the very beginning, which made Orston unexpected and unsurprising. This is the essence of Serra's perfect desire to control. His performance in the confrontation game obviously deviated from his reason and IQ. The eagerness for quick success is almost crazy, and once people are crazy, they will be in a lot of situations.
Ryan noticed the change in Orston's expression, and he asked, "What's wrong with me?"
"No." Alston explained the situation of code-named zero, and then said: "Don't worry, I have asked William and Charles to find a way, and there will be a result after the cruise is over." There is a way to let him remove the implanted device, and even irritate him to immediately activate the self-destruct program, and currently no one except him knows how to activate it.
Ryan nodded slightly, averting the bloody light in his eyes. What Auston said was simple but he thought deeply. Sierra was holding the lifeblood of Auston's battle. Once the self-destruct procedure of the implanted device was activated, the consequences would be unimaginable... This This kind of person has a strong background, and he is still very good, and he can be saved even if he makes a big mistake. He held the life of an imperial general in his hands, was it because of his selfish desire to control, or was it because of something else
Sera can't be killed for the time being, and it's nothing to be afraid of if he dies, but it's terrible if the broken clues can't catch the hidden danger behind it.
Ryan hates this feeling of being shrouded in haze. He still needs to be strong, so strong that no one dares to shake him, but he also finds himself powerless to take his time to get his certification. Is there a one-stop issuance of qualification certificates? !
During the meal, he asked Sera's bad mood was his mistake, Ryan decided to make up for it, so he changed the subject and asked Auston, "My ability is far superior to that of the soldiers in the mecha repair department, and even comparable to some in the combat department. Fight, don’t you ask me why?” Ask quickly, I’ve been waiting for a long time, just waiting for you to ask me, but you never ask, I don’t even know how to say it!
Ryan looked at Oston, trying to use his eyes to convey the madness in his heart.
Auston couldn't help but bend the corner of his mouth, "I know."
Lane's face fell, and he said, "You don't know."
"You participated in Shuguang during college, and I knew it from the first day I met you." But I didn't expect that Shuguang trained him so well, so good that it far exceeded the evaluation of Shuguang's leaders. Auston pressed his heart ponder.
Ryan didn't make a fool of himself. He found that Alston's chopsticks were reaching for sea fish more often, so he changed the position of the plate. Shuguang's special experience became a common gossip in his mouth. "When I was just a sophomore, I came across Shuguang After chatting for a few words, I found out that it was good, and then I joined, and I left after graduation, and I still have the Medal of Dawn.”
He reached out and took an iron pencil case from a pile of books, opened it and took out a round badge with a red phoenix pattern on it, which was the totem of Dawn. Dawn is a semi-official organization, affiliated with the public security system, which specializes in hunting down dangerous adventurers on the list, and can get corresponding rewards for killing them. The deposit in Ryan's bank account not only comes from the sponsorship of his parents, but also from his own Work hard, the source of every fund in the account can be traced, and you must be a law-abiding citizen.
Every year, Dawn recruits new members for training. Ryan was recruited by the organization because of his excellent performance in school but not eye-catching.
When he left, the captain who brought him was quite reluctant. The good seedling went to join the army just like that. Who knew that Ryan was sent to the kitchen on the first day of his enlistment. If the old friend of Shuguang found out about this, Da Ya would laugh. .
Ryan gave this badge representing past honors to Alston, "This is a little secret of mine, and I will tell you other little secrets later."
Auston took the badge and looked at the black background in his palm, with the red phoenix badge ready to fly on it. The cold texture seemed to carry Ryan's pride in fighting bloody battles. He no longer thinks about Ryan's violation, as Ryan said, he will know more of his secrets in the future.
Holding the Red Phoenix Medal of Dawn, Oston stood up to get his military coat, and took off a golden cross armband from the sleeve. He wanted to give this armband that had accompanied him for more than 20 years to Ryan, " When I was twenty years old, I won the military competition, and my father personally put it on for me."
The following year, the old general passed away, putting the heavy responsibility of the family and the legion on Auston's shoulders. This armband has extraordinary significance to Auston.
Ryan took it cherished, "Thank you." Thank you for giving it to me.
They got married in a hurry, and the goal of being together was practical and single, and there was no eternal pledge and unswerving commitment, but through getting along, the relationship that sprouted was delicate and intimate, and it would last for a long time.
After lunch, Ryan is going to send the relics of Leo brought from Moon Bay to Henna, who is looking forward to it day and night. Reality.
"Wait." Auston, who decided to go with Ryan, stopped Ryan when he was about to leave. "Bring some flowers for Henna."
He opened the planting cabin, holding the scissors, but he couldn't do anything. He was good at chopping trees and firewood to fight a bloody path in the jungle. He was having trouble dividing a part of the Moonlight Rose. How could he do it without harming the roots of the plants
"I'll do it." Ryan put down his handbag, walked to Oston and squatted down, took the scissors and said, "Cut out a part, but it won't be so big."
A large clump of moon roses was very beautiful, so bright and red that it looked like a bunch of flames. Any less, and the brightness of the flame will diminish.
"As long as you keep the roots, you can grow more. This is the hope." Auston said: "Taking a third will not damage her beauty."
Ryan nodded: "Okay." This is to send hope to Hannah.
Auston watched Ryan's actions carefully, and tried hard to absorb new knowledge. He secretly made a decision in his heart. After retiring, he and Ryan returned to Planting Star. The two of them planted flowers and vegetables, and they always had to learn some necessary things for the future. Skill.
Auston was at a loss, but Ryan came at his fingertips. He dug out the Moonlight Rose that had been planted not long ago, cleaned up the roots, and separated one-third of it to keep the vigorous root system. It will be easier to survive after planting. Moonlight Rose is easy to grow , do not pick the place, the flower shape is beautiful, the color is gorgeous, and it is definitely the best ornamental flower if it is properly cultivated, and it is a very good economical flower. It's not that no one wants to dig the whole plant for artificial cultivation, but no one has Ryan's strong ability to hang into the abyss crack of Moon Bay to operate with his hands. To make money, you must first have the life to be able to make money.
Wrap the roots of Moonlight Rose with a few pieces of kitchen paper, Ryan walked out of the room holding the rose and Leo’s belongings, followed by Auston who was empty-handed. It’s not that Auston didn’t want to take it, but Ryan didn’t take. Starting from Ryan's dormitory to leaving the Xingtian Ship, there are many places to go through, and many people to meet on the road, but the two walking side by side completely lost their previous scruples and walked together calmly.
Along the way, all the soldiers I met greeted enthusiastically. They would shout: "Good day, General." They would also say: "Lynn, hello."
Ryan is no longer the unknown guy who came from the kitchen at the beginning of the cruise. He is a member of the first team to enter the center of Moon Bay. Many powerful fighters with many medals.
I have repeatedly said that the army is a place where strength is sought. As long as it is strong enough, it doesn't matter where it comes from or where it was born. What matters is its ability as a person.
Ryan Smith is the tall, handsome armor restorer.
They were not surprised to see Ryan standing with the general, because news came from the medical rescue team that the general followed the crowd
Like a person, I went deep into the Ice Grassland & Moon Bay, and I was with the Ryan team all the way. The relationship is good for sure.
Ryan smiled and greeted those he knew and those he didn't know, and whispered in Alston's ear: "Those posts on the forum must have sunk." He still minded that he was short and small.
Auston also said softly, "Don't worry, it's all been deleted."
"Nice job."
Alston smiled, "There will be no more slander against you in the future." Ryan proved himself with his own strength.
Ryan smiled, "Yeah."
Stepping out of Xingtian Ship, the blue sky suddenly jumped in front of me, big clouds floated slowly, and a few big birds with their long feathers flew past, making clear calls, just as I imagined. Walking in Xingmang Town, which is dominated by gray, white, ice blue, and passing by the Red Orange Bar, there is a garland woven with colorful straw ropes hanging at the entrance of the bar. The town suddenly became more lively.
The sweet smell from the bakery next to the bar. The hard-working housewife made bread from rough fiber rye, which is the main staple food on this planet. A loaf only costs five or three star coins, which is cheap enough for a family of three to eat for two days.
Butter, jam, and condensed milk are luxury goods in B612, but the delicious food fermented from wolfbane fat is not expensive. The thick and hard bread with fermented fat brings a rough and original flavor, which few outsiders can enjoy. Can bear the taste. A piece of fermented fat the size of a mahjong block can save a family of three for three meals.
Harsh nature did not drive all the humans living here to extinction, at least it provided a good yield of rye and a wolf poisonous beast with a thick layer of fat.
There are many young men and women walking on the road, they are walking hand in hand, or shoulder to shoulder, wearing straw rope bracelets with the same color as the garland on the wrists exposed outside the sleeves.
Yuemang Town is having a festival to celebrate the harvest and joy of the warm sun season, and it is also a good time for young men and women to go hiking.
Ryan's memory is very good, and he can still find the correct route when he comes back after many days, but this time there is a pungent smell on the route, and gray smoke is rising from the chimney of a small workshop. That's where the smoke and taste come from.
There is no signboard in the small shop, only a big wolf skin is propped open and placed at the door, so that people know that this is a shop selling wolf poisonous animal products.
The pungent smell is the unique smell of wolf poison beast fat when it is refined. If it is fermented fat, it will not smell so bad.
No wonder the street is so deserted.
Ryan and Auston walked forward quickly as if fleeing, "The flower shop is quite far from here, the smell will not linger, and I won't go this way when I go back next time."
"It's the first time I've walked in Xingmang Town like this." Auston felt very novel.
It should be said that since being with Ryan, he has learned how to live. There are more bouquets on the neat and simple desk, and there are candies at hand. You can often see cute pink snacks. Life seems to become delicate and warm all of a sudden. . Now, he is actually shopping, without any strong purpose, so it must be incredible for people to know about it.
Ryan's gaze was gentle and loving. He looked at Oston who had taken off his military uniform and put on his regular uniform, and proposed on a whim: "After sending the things to Heina, we will take the airship to Moon Mang Town. It produces leather, and there are fresh sea fish and shrimps. Under the night, the white moonlight is dyed light pink. You can lie on the beach and watch the stars in the sky. However, Moonmang Town is in the freezing season. Without combat uniforms, we cannot Staying out for too long."
Ryan racked his brains, thinking about how to persuade Orston to temporarily put down his work and take a break for half a day. He heard Orston say without hesitation: "Okay."
"In the introduction I read, Moon Mang Town is more romantic than Star Mang Town... What did you say?" Ryan reacted belatedly, and asked incredulously, "What did you say?"
"Okay, I say yes." Alston said, "Let's go to Moon Mang Town, which is a small town on the edge of the sea cliff. The dark blue sea will be dyed red in the night, and there are jellyfish floating on the surface of the water. Purple spotted hawksbill turtles hatch during the freezing season."
Auston used his lackluster imagination to describe the scenery as beautiful as possible, but found that his efforts were in vain. What he said was business-like, just like the text description sent by the person in charge of B612, without aesthetic feeling.
"It's so beautiful, then it's just right for us to go today." Ryan didn't dislike the boringness of Auston's words. He had already captured all his mind by the anticipation and joy brought from the corners of Auston's eyes and brows.
The two were talking, and the short distance was soon over. Not far away was a deserted flower shop at the end of the street. In the window, the dazzling bright red moonlight roses stopped at the best moment of life. It can stay beautiful for a long time under care.
Ryan pushed open the door, and the wind chime sounded crisply, reminding the busy shopkeeper, Hana, that a guest was coming.
Henna, who was watering the soil hyacinths, raised her head, her face was still anxious, these root balls were not cheap to buy from adventurers, but the hyacinths raised by her hands grew very badly , the only two or three leaves showed the phenomenon of banana leaves.
Seeing someone coming, Haina opened her eyes wide, "It's you." She threw away the shower and ran forward a few steps, suddenly realized that she was being rude at the moment, and quickly wiped her hands with the apron in front of her, Messy temple hair brushed behind the ears. "Mr Smith."
"Hello, Hana." Ryan had a smile on his face, not too wide, which could make people feel at ease, "I'm sorry, I couldn't bring Leo out of Moon Bay, I brought these. Your lover Love you."
Ryan took out the handbag, opened the handbag to reveal the diary, pen and the bracelet with the crescent-shaped amulet inside. The side of the amulet with the words facing up was engraved with Henna's name.
Haina's body trembled visibly. She wanted to bend the corners of her mouth to show a thankful smile, but found that there seemed to be heavy stones hanging from the corners of her mouth, pulling them down to the ground. Suddenly, the heart was empty, and the chilling wind of the freezing season blew in, freezing the blood all over her body. She wanted to cry loudly, and looked at Ryan with resentment, why didn't she bring Leo back, even if it was a corpse!
Blindfolded with tears, Henna struggled several times before grabbing what Leo left behind. She stroked the leather cover of the diary, which she personally picked out for Leo when they went to Moon Mang Town. After paying 30 star coins, Leo said that he was distressed and wanted to return it, but he couldn't put it down when he was holding the diary. Turning around, he bought her a necklace with the money he earned from his part-time job. He spent 60 yuan but didn't feel bad at all. At that time, he said: My Henna is so beautiful in it, like a fairy.
The words are still in my ears, but people will never see them again.
Henna, who was holding the diary, laughed, as if an invisible gentle palm had removed the heavy stone hanging from the corner of her mouth, "Thank you, Mr. Smith, and thank you for bringing Leo home."
"You're welcome." No amount of comfort was useless, and Ryan sighed silently without saying anything. He and Auston looked at each other, picked up the Moonlight Rose and handed it to Heina, "Hina, this is what Leo wanted to pick and bring back, and now I will give it to you, I will give you the root of the Moonlight Rose You just need to take good care of them, and they will grow a lot."
Haina was startled, bit her lower lip and took two steps back. She shook her head and said, "No, no, you brought it back from your adventure. I've never heard of anyone who was able to bring it back from Moon Bay alive. You must have spent a lot of time planting the Moonlight Rose, and I cannot occupy the fruits of your labor."
"I still have it there, and I will plant it around the house in the future to bloom the most beautiful flowers." Ryan sent the flowers forward, "It is hope to be able to grow, I wish you happiness in the future, this is what Leo hopes .”
Tears fell silently from her eyes, and Hana murmured, "Hope, hope..." She took the Moonlight Rose from Ryan's hand, sniffing the faint floral fragrance in the rose.
Jingle Bell-
There were bursts of wind chimes, as if someone had walked in, bringing a gust of breeze across Henna's cheeks.
···
Under Henna's watchful eyes, Ryan and Auston walked out of the flower shop. After walking about ten meters, they heard footsteps behind them. It was Henna who came in a hurry.
Hannah held two colored straw bracelets in her hand, and handed one to Ryan and the other to Auston. After they took it, she clasped her hands together and prayed reverently, "I wish you happiness and happiness for a long time! .”
Ryan and Alston said at the same time, "Thank you."
The grass used to weave the bracelets only grows in the warm sunny season. It is very resilient and will not be damaged by a knife or fire after drying. It is the most common accessory among lovers in Xingmang Town. It is called a rainbow rope, which symbolizes the beauty and long-term love.
Hana watched Ryan and his lover go farther and farther away, unlike the last time she watched Ryan leave, this time she didn't stay for too long, after watching for a while, she turned and left and walked into the flower shop, now she has Leo, hoped.
Auston and Ryan walked side by side like ordinary young men and women walking on the street, and walked to the terminal building on the edge of the town. There were three flights a day to the seaside town of Yuemang, and they just caught up with the first flight. three. Just take the first airship back tomorrow. A couple walked by holding hands. Ryan looked at their hands. Two rainbow ropes were hung on the wrists. As they walked, they could touch each other from time to time. Ryan coughed lightly, and the hand hanging by his side moved naturally, and he grasped Auston's hand precisely without looking at it, "The terminal is here, let's go in and buy tickets." By the way, he found himself a The reason for holding hands in public is to hurry on the road faster, that's it.
Alston broke free subconsciously, but he didn't break free. He watched the two people's hands clasped and pursed his thin lips, letting go.
There are quite a lot of people on the road, there are locals from Xingmang Town, adventurers from all over the world, soldiers or family members of the garrison, and soldiers on the Xingtian Ship.
Among them, several close combatants saw the general and Ryan, and were about to go up to say hello, but suddenly saw this scene.
"Am I blind?"
"you have not."
"Ah, why did I see Ryan holding hands with the general!!!"
"I saw it too!!!"
Someone hesitantly asked, "What is their relationship?"
After a while someone said: "Have you heard that the general is married."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Everyone said in unison: "Impossible!"
The one with the better news said, "There will be no fakes. I have a buddy from the headquarters. He heard about it from the Mecha Combat Team. The news about the Mecha Combat Team comes from the Mecha Repair Department."
The tortuous source of news and the incredible content of the news made everyone's brains hurt.
"Hehe, we must have drunk too much, go back to sleep, and wake up to find it was a dream."
"What should I do? I replied to the thread about editing Ryan on the forum, and I laughed at him for sure not having ten centimeters."
"... No wonder those posts disappeared overnight. There has never been such a thing before." Xing Tianjian is a place of freedom of speech, no matter how much you say, you will not delete posts, but you will be invited to drink tea with the leader .
"It's useless if it's too long below." Someone whispered.
"!!!"
"!!!"
Ryan didn't care how much shock his holding hands brought to others. He had already bought the ticket, and it was better to come early than coincidentally. After buying the ticket, it was time for the ticket inspection. He took Auston, who was taking the civil aviation for the first time, through the ticket inspection channel Go up the gangway, enter the airship, buy two seats side by side in the first class, and give the one by the window to Auston.
Auston had seen the sky in many ways, but never through the narrow windows of civilian airships, looking out with a bit of novelty.
The ten-seat first-class cabin was not fully occupied, and the stewardess brought tea and snacks to the only three guests. The two gentlemen sitting at the end are so good-looking, the flight attendant thought so when delivering the water, glanced at the rainbow ropes they were carrying, and sighed in disappointment, why are the handsome guys with the handsome guys.
