Jin Ming carefully studied the reward and punishment mechanism of the base, and found that the rank of second lieutenant can apply for a separate dormitory from the base.
He looked at the terms of the promotion and sent a message to the captain who brought them here.
After counting the number of casualties, the soldiers left one after another in line.
As usual, Jin Ming went to the cafeteria and ordered two meals, and took them back to eat with Pei Lu.
Pei Lu was anxiously waiting in the dormitory. People in the dormitory had come back one after another. Only the dormitory where Pei Lu lived remained silent. Pei Luming knew that Jin Ming would be fine, but he still couldn't control his wild thoughts.
As soon as Jin Ming turned the doorknob, the dormitory door opened, and Pei Lu looked at him from the door with a worried face.
Jin Ming's heart softened, he half-armed Pei Lu in, and then locked the door behind him.
"Sorry for worrying you."
Jin Ming put the lunch box on the table and rubbed his head comfortingly.
Pei Luzai looked at him carefully, and was really worried and checked up and down again. Only then did he confirm that he was really not injured, not because he was afraid of his own worries and endured it.
"Everyone else is back, I thought you..."
"What do you think is wrong with me?" Jin Ming poked his cheek amusedly.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Pei Lu also knew that he was a little nervous, so he smiled embarrassedly and gave a soft "hmm".
Jin Ming opened the lunch box, the dishes are simple but the portions are good.
Jin Ming put one-third of Pei Lu's lunch box into his own bowl, then handed the rice to Pei Lu, "Eat."
Pei Lu took the lunch box and sat side by side with him to eat.
Halfway through the meal, there was a knock on the door. Pei Lu paused and put down his chopsticks in a panic, like a little rabbit ready to find a hole to hide at any time.
Jin Ming picked up a piece of chicken for him, and comforted him: "Don't worry, I locked the door."
"..."
Pei Lu bit his chopsticks, hesitantly said: "This is not very good."
Jin Ming raised the corner of his mouth, "You eat first, and I'll let them in after eating."
Pei Lu couldn't hold back him, so he had to eat a lot of rice.
After he had finished his last mouthful of food, Jin Ming packed up the lunch box and went to open the door. He looked at the roommate at the door in surprise.
"Why is the door locked?"
other people:"… "
We also want to ask you.
There was no flaw in Jin Ming's expression. The others looked at him and then at the door, but in the end they could only choose to believe that there was a problem with the lock.
Pei Lu took advantage of this time to wash his hands and climbed to the upper bunk. He stretched his head to look down, but after seeing Jin Ming's serious face and talking nonsense, he was in a bad mood.
I was so scared that I stretched out my neck and almost couldn't take it back.
Jin Ming glanced at him, and while the others were not paying attention, he made a booing gesture.
Pei Lu: "..."
************
The message sent by Jin Ming received a reply three days later.
The captain sent the base assessment notice to his terminal.
In the base, in order to be promoted, in addition to relying on strength to accumulate points, you also need to be recommended by your superiors. Three days ago, Jin Ming sent a message to the captain, and the process was smoother than he imagined. Three days later, he Received notice of assessment.
This afternoon is an activity day, and everyone else in the dormitory has gone out.
Jin Ming stayed in the dormitory, he and Pei Lu were the only ones in the dormitory at this time.
Pei Lu looked at the information on the terminal curiously.
"If you pass the assessment, you will be promoted?"
"Yes." Jin Ming said: "The second lieutenant can apply for a separate dormitory."
"After applying to the dormitory, you don't have to hide."
Pei Lu nodded and looked at him with bright eyes.
Jin Ming's assessment was scheduled one day later, and the assessment location was in a meeting room.
Several officers asked him several questions in turn, and one of them had fought him once, so he was asked to come back first.
Another three days later, Jin Ming received the notice of passing the examination.
After participating in the simple award ceremony, Jin Ming was officially promoted to second lieutenant, and the base set out a small team from the original establishment to be led by him.
The first thing Jin Ming did after he was promoted was to submit an application for changing dormitories.
The application went smoothly, and in the afternoon, he was allocated a one-bedroom, one-living room dormitory.
Jin Ming greeted other people in the dormitory, and then moved into the new dormitory with Pei Lu with his luggage.
The layout of the new dormitory is not much different from the dormitory layout on Orion, the only difference is that the dormitory on the base side is smaller.
The dormitory building where officers live is separate from that of ordinary soldiers.
The dormitory that Jin Ming was allocated this time was on the third floor. After Jin Ming put his luggage away, he saw Pei Lu walking around like he was inspecting the territory.
"It's just a change of dormitory, why are you so happy?"
Pei Lu pursed her lips, and there was a smile that couldn't be hidden in her bright black eyes, "I'm just happy." Although they won't be staying for long, this is also the nest of the two of them.
Jin Ming shook his head and laughed, and let him wander around excitedly, while tidying up the bedroom himself.
When he was sleeping at night, Pei Lu hadn't calmed down yet, and he felt like he was finally released after holding it in for a long time, and he pulled Jin Ming to talk non-stop.
Jin Ming helplessly pressed him into his arms, and Pei Lucai finally calmed down.
*****
After changing the dormitory, the two had a lot of freedom. When Jin Ming went out for training, Pei Lu would read books and play games in the dormitory, and then cook a meal and wait for Jin Ming to come back.
Pei Lu didn't dare to run around in the base, and was kept in the dormitory by Jin Ming obediently every day, which greatly satisfied Jin Ming's unspeakable thoughts.
But there is also a bit of a downside to being in a dormitory all day.
Pei Lu was idle and bored, so he fiddled around with Jin Ming's terminal, but he didn't know where he pressed it, and a folder suddenly popped up on the screen.
The folder name is pets.
Pei Lu clicked in curiously, there were several videos arranged by date, he happily clicked in.
Three minutes after the video was played, Pei Lu's face turned green.
He went through the videos in the folder one by one, and they were all related to him.
There are times when he sleeps, eats, reads...even when he takes a bath.
The terminal belongs to Jin Ming, so it goes without saying who made these videos.
Pei Lu slapped the terminal on the sofa vigorously, his face turned into a puffer fish.
He angrily prepared the meal, and finally waited for Jin Ming to come back.
When Jin Ming entered the room, Pei Lu didn't say hello to him, he glanced at him coldly and then looked away with puffy face.
Looking at his bulging cheeks, Jin Ming almost couldn't help poking him twice. Fortunately, the sticky sweat on his body reminded him, otherwise, his poking would probably poke a furious hornet's nest.
When Jin Ming came out of the shower, Pei Lu had already set the food on the dining table.
Jin Ming approached the silent Pei Lu, frowning slightly, "Why are you unhappy today?"
Pei Lu sneered in his heart, pushed his hand away coldly, and said lightly: "Eat first, and we'll talk after we're done."
Jin Ming intuitively felt that the little rabbit's moodiness today had something to do with him.
After thinking about it, he didn't realize that Pei Lu had discovered what he had done, so he started to eat with peace of mind.
Pei Lu chewed the rice grains fiercely, looking at the upright and serious Jin Ming opposite, hehe.
A meal was finally finished in a weird atmosphere.
Jin Ming put down his chopsticks, looked at him seriously, and said softly, "What do you want to say to me
Pei Lu sat still on the sofa, pointing his chin at the dishes on the dining table, "You wash the dishes first."
Jin Ming was in a bad mood, and felt that Little Rabbit's mood was a little rough today, and it was not easy to coax.
No matter what he thought, he still cleaned up the dishes, and after washing them quickly, Jin Ming smiled and sat next to Pei Lu, trying to rub his head.
"Why are you so unhappy? Who messed with you?"
Pei Lu raised his face and took his hands off his head, pointing to the empty sofa with his little chin up, "Sit there."
Jin Ming: "..."
He went over to sit down as he said, and looked at Pei Lu intently, his eyes were full of tenderness, and it seemed that he had nothing to do with secretly filming crazy monsters.
Pei Lu glared at him angrily, then took out the terminal from his pocket.
He put the terminal on the coffee table in the middle of the sofa, fiercely, "Do you do it yourself or I do it?"
Seeing him take out the terminal, Jin Ming guessed that he might have seen the video inside.
But he didn't have the panic or guilt that Pei Lu imagined at all, he just looked straight at Pei Lu, there seemed to be whirlpools in his black pupils, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Did you see it all?"
Pei Lu's straight chest softened inexplicably. He looked at Jin Ming suspiciously, suspecting that what Jin Ming said to him was not the same thing.
"Do you know what I'm talking about?"
Jin Ming smiled playfully, even finding his fierce look cute, "What are you talking about?"
Pei Lu's eyes widened, thinking that Jin Ming might not have realized that he had been exposed, so he could only remind him stammeringly: "That's, that's what... the video of me taking a shower..."
Pei Luyue said that his face became more and more red, and finally he couldn't even hear his voice clearly. Compared with the calm and composed Jin Ming opposite, it seemed that he was the one who did something bad.
Jin Ming's upright posture suddenly relaxed, he leaned back slightly, leaning on the sofa, his slender legs crossed, it was a completely different posture from usual, and even his tone of voice was casual.
"Oh... You said the video in that folder..."
Jin Ming elongated his voice, and saw the little rabbit opposite him stare wider and wider, leaning forward slightly, waiting for him to finish speaking.
He brushed back the hair on his forehead, and the evil in his heart grew crazily. He said slowly: "...I... took the picture."
He also smiled gently at Pei Lu, "What's wrong?"
Pei Lu: "..."
Pei Lu's eyes were rounded, his face flushed, he almost thought he heard it wrong, he pointed at Jin Ming and shook, his expression was aggrieved and he was about to cry, "You, you..."
"Why are you doing this!"
Jin Ming got up and leaned over to touch his cheek, feeling extremely distressed, but this was the best time to confess, he had waited for a long time for...the opportunity to reveal his cards.
"Because... I like you."
Jin Ming sighed and kissed his forehead lightly, then backed away slightly, and kissed Pei Lu's reddened eyes lightly.
For the first time, he looked straight into the young man's eyes seriously and undisguisedly, and said with forbearance and affection: "Since I was sixteen years old... I have wanted to do this to you..."
Pei Lu's chin was pinched by him, and his rough, calloused thumb scraped his face, bringing a more sensitive tingling than usual.
"You're underage..."
Pei Lu's brain was chattering wildly, like a computer that was running overloaded, shutting down and turning on again, before it could run, it was shut down again by the next more intense message.
Pei Lu's brain was constantly restarting, and he looked at Jin Ming almost blankly.
"I was not an adult at that time..."
Jin Ming lightly bit his puckered lips, "Now I'm an adult..."
Pei Lu: "..."
The crashed brain finally restarted successfully. He struggled limply to avoid Jin Ming's restraint, but found that the boy who had indulged him in the past did not back down this time, just holding his chin and staring at him, as if he was asking for an answer.
Yes or no.
Pei Lu turned his eyes away, his neck was flushed red, he stammered, "You're only eighteen years old...you're still young."
Jin Ming didn't miss any of his subtle expressions, and said with a smile, "I'm still young?"
He put his lips close to Pei Lu's ear, and exhaled warm breath, "Touch and see...is it small?"
“………………”
Pei Lu had nothing to say, he was already popular as a firecracker, if he added more fire, he could go straight to the sky and explode.
Jin Ming didn't let him go, Mr. Lu Xun said, no longer breaking out in silence, but perverting in silence.
Jin Ming is the latter.
All the badness in his body erupted at this moment, imprisoning Pei Lu in his arms and flirting wantonly.
Pei Lu liked him in the first place, but because Jin Ming was too shy at this age, he kept resisting.
But Jin Ming held him in his arms and kissed him, and when he whispered some unpleasant words in his ear, he couldn't bear to push him away.
In the end, he could only be held in Jin Ming's arms with tears streaming down his face.
When he went to bed after taking a shower, Pei Lu's nose and eyes were full.
The shock just now hadn't recovered, he was angry and shy at the same time, but he had a round face with an extremely wronged expression, Jin Ming wished he could coax him in his mouth.
He wanted to go forward to hug Pei Lu, but was stared at by Pei Lu's fierce eyes, "You don't move!"
Jin Ming raised his hand helplessly, his eyes seemed to overflow with water, and he was so gentle that he said, "I'll just hug you."
"No hugs!"
Pei Lu let out a snort from his nose, because his emotions hadn't recovered yet, his soft voice had a bit of crying, provocative and unknowingly.
Jin Ming stepped back a little, "Okay, I won't hug."
He spread out the quilt and raised a corner, "Shall we sleep?"
Pei Lu glanced at him vigilantly, rubbed himself under the quilt, and rubbed against the bed again worryingly, sleeping with his back to Jin Ming.
Jin Ming's emotions that had been suppressed for three years were released, and his heart was full of happy little bubbles, and even the back of Pei Lu's black and round head thought it was extremely cute.
Pei Lu suffered a bit of a shock today, he didn't want to push people too hard, so he slept peacefully on his side, and said softly, "Baby, good night."
Pei Lu: "..."
snort!
The next morning, Pei Lu was awakened by his kiss.
The numbness on his lips made Pei Lu sigh comfortably, and halfway through his eyes, he opened them wide in horror.
Jin Ming, who was leaning down to kiss him, showed a gentle smile, touched his lips, and greeted him affectionately, "Good morning."
Pei Lu: "..."
Pei Lu has lost his temper. Thirty-year-old Jin Ming looks very calm and reliable, unlike the teenage Jin Ming who acts recklessly just because he is young!
It never occurred to me that at the age of three, seeing the old, the thirty-year-old Jin Ming is no different from the eighteen-year-old Jin Ming. If there is a difference, it is that the thirty-year-old Jin Ming is even better at pretending.
Pei Lu pushed the person on him down with all his might, and blushed again, "I haven't brushed my teeth yet..."
Jin Ming is very good at focusing on key points, pinching his ears, "You can kiss after brushing your teeth"
"..."
Pei Lu got up in a hurry and rushed into the bathroom, don't ask me, if you ask me, you will definitely not be able to kiss.
There is a difference in size, so be reserved.
After the reserved Pei Xiaolu finished brushing his teeth, Jin Ming kissed him again without saying hello.
Jin Ming's expression was satisfied, his habitually sullen face softened, and he placed a kiss on the forehead of the young man who sent him out, "Be good and wait for me to come back."
Pei Luhong closed the door without hesitation.
Jin Ming: "..."
The little rabbit is so shy.
************
After more than half a month of calm, the base sounded the alarm again.
The fortress floating quietly above Hayne once again showed its presence, releasing the second batch of mutated bugs.
Jin Ming is already a second lieutenant, and he led his own team to once again show his prowess on the battlefield.
This battle is the same as half a month ago.
The mutated bugs were killed, the empire withdrew its troops again, and the black fortress was closed again.
After counting the number of people, Jin Ming was about to go back, and suddenly he was notified by the officer to open an account.
It stands to reason that a second lieutenant like him would not be able to discuss anything with the upper management. His eyes fell on the head of the notice: Second lieutenant Jin Ming, within ten minutes, please come to the meeting room No. 38 in District 3 to attend the meeting.
This notification appears to be directed at an individual.
Jin Ming frowned, and quickly rushed to the third area with his feet.
On the way, he sent a message to the dormitory, so as not to worry the little rabbit again.
When Jin Ming arrived in the meeting room, there were already several people sitting in it, and Jin Ming glanced around calmly—there were a few familiar faces, all of whom were relatively high in the base.
It doesn't look like it's going to be an ordinary meeting.
The last one to come in was to pick up an officer. There were two officers Jin Ming knew, a major and a lieutenant colonel. They are all from the Jin family.
Jin Ming sat on his seat, observing them quietly.
The major cleared his throat and said, "You are all elites of the base..."
"Now the base has an important task that requires two people to cooperate with it. I will select it from all of you here..."
In addition to the three high-ranking officers, there were eight other people present, all of whom had strong individual combat capabilities. The major glanced at them and continued: "The two people who passed the selection will carry out this mission."
After simply speaking, he directly entered the selection process.
The group moved to a large training room, supervised by the major who spoke just now.
Not many people participated in the assessment, and the assessment was carried out quickly. Jin Ming was careful, but he did not give full play to the assessment, and the overall score ranked second.
When he went to register, the major looked at him in surprise, "Jin Ming?"
Jin Ming replied in a deep voice, "Yes."
The major moved his mouth, but said nothing.
After the recording is completed, this selection will be over. The base will notify separately of the two people who will carry out the task.
After everyone left, the three officers left behind looked at each other in blank dismay.
The young man said, "Jin Ming? I remember that the one from Capital Star is called Jin Ming."
The lieutenant colonel frowned and said, "I haven't seen it either. You can contact the marshal. If you are sure, remove him."
The major thought for a while, and took out his terminal to contact Capital Star.
