The small chocolate cake was half eaten, and half of the shape of a heart was left. The fracture in the middle was smooth and regular. Those who didn't know it thought it was cut with a knife.
In fact, Zhong Yan ate it with a spoon.
He bit the spoon and agonized over the remaining half of the heart for a long time, looking at Mei to quench his thirst for a long time, and finally carefully restored the cake packaging box, holding the cake box and preparing to put it back into the refrigerator.
Adrian was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading documents. When he saw Zhong Yan coming out with a cake box, he thought he had finished eating and threw away the box. He didn't expect to hear him open the refrigerator door and lightly put the cake box in. put in.
"What are you doing?" Adrian asked casually.
"Half of it, put it in the refrigerator."
Adrian looked up at Zhong Yan from the military documents in surprise, this was the first time he saw Zhong Yan leave the cake. Is lunch really too full? But the quantity is not too much.
"You can't finish the cake the size of your palm now?"
"No..." Zhong Yan said, he paused, did not finish, and whispered, "Put it in the refrigerator and eat it tomorrow."
This is the cake that Adrian asked someone to bring back. In the past, Adrian would bring him cakes back to the dormitory every three to five times, but now... this kind of treatment can only be enjoyed when he is sick like now. If the remaining half is eaten tomorrow, you can pretend that Adrian bought it for him twice.
Adrian wondered: "Eat as long as you can, what are you going to do tomorrow? It won't taste good if you leave it overnight."
Zhong Yan didn't know what to say, he absolutely couldn't say that kind of thought, and it would be bad if he bored Adrian for nothing, so he could only vaguely say: "Eat today, tomorrow... tomorrow there will be no more. "
"I didn't take your terminal away, so I can buy it from a nearby dessert shop." Adrian said inexplicably, and then remembered, "Oh, you don't know the address of this house?"
The online virtual community has become the second society after the real society. Almost all physical stores can be found in the virtual community. After the order of this kind of food is placed, it will be delivered by drone to the reserved meal in the house. On the platform, Adrian ordered dinner like this yesterday.
But the cake I bought is different from this cake.
Zhong Yan said: "No, I just like this one... I mean, this kind."
That chocolate cake looks sweet as hell. Adrian once again had a new understanding of Zhong Yan's sweetness, and thought he understood the reason why he was reluctant to eat - the restaurant at the headquarters was indeed closed to the public.
"Eat it." Adrian returned to his work and said casually, "I'll bring you a new one when I go back to work."
Wei Lan left a detailed recovery guidance suggestion, Zhong Yan was surprisingly obedient, he did whatever he was asked to do, and on the third day, he seemed to have returned to normal, but Adrian felt that his mental state was really not good.
Compared to before, Zhong Yan has obviously fallen into a low mood these two days. Most of the time they use their own terminals to work, and occasionally meet in the house, Adrian always feels that those beautiful phoenix eyes have lost their vitality.
Adrian even faintly regretted telling him that. Zhong Yan's reaction was much more serious than he expected. Just to see what the ring looked like, he dared to jump off the open-air pond in the middle of winter night. Even if Adrian changed his room to a relatively safe first floor, My heart is always uneasy.
So this morning, Adrian locked all the doors and windows before going out, and after thinking about it, he took all the knives in the kitchen with him.
He had promised Zhong Yan before that when he returned to work at the headquarters, he would bring him a cake. After dealing with official business that day, Adrian was preparing to go to the restaurant to buy cakes and go home early, when the door of the office was blocked.
"Friend, don't be in a hurry." Finn pushed Adrian back to the office and closed the door, "I just came out of the medical office and wanted to talk to you."
When he mentioned the medical office, Adrian immediately said, "It's just right, I want to talk to you too."
Fein looked like he was inquiring, "What did you tell Dr. Wei?"
Adrian said dissatisfied: "Why don't you ask him what he told me?"
"What did he tell you?"
"He told me in front of me that Zhong Yan didn't live long, did he say that?" Adrian said, "This is Wei Lan, he saved your life, I'll give you face, change a doctor I pissed him off on the spot when he said that.”
When Wei Lan was a low-level medical soldier, she once went on missions with Finn. At that time, Finn was seriously injured in order to cover his teammates. Everyone thought that there was no way to save him. The conditions were so bad that the medical officer accompanying the team did not dare to take the risk to perform surgery on him. At that time, Adrian had just taken office, and everyone knew that this new lieutenant was the most loyal confidant of the new commander-in-chief. If the operation failed and could not be saved, he would inevitably bear the wrath of the new commander. Only Wei Lan said after reading it The word "can be saved".
Other medical soldiers kindly reminded him of his identity, Wei Lan was puzzled and said: "What does this have to do with his identity? Now if you don't have the operation, you will die. If you have the operation, you may live. Why don't you do it?"
No one dared to cooperate with him, so he performed the operation with simple medical equipment alone on the war-torn spaceship, and Finn's vitality was also very tenacious, and he actually survived.
After they returned to the headquarters, Adrian was furious and used this incident as an excuse to replace the entire senior management of the old medical department, directly appointed Wei Lan as the chief medical officer, and formed a new young medical team.
Since Finn recovered that time, he has become the number one fan of the newly appointed chief medical officer. No matter what others say about Wei Lan's bad words, the whole military region dares to be angry with the chief medical officer, half because they really respect the chief medical officer. Half of the official's superb medical skills are...
"Didn't you offend him on the spot? You actually told him that you want him to be more tactful in the future!" Fein blamed bitterly, "Doctors are different from us, they are very precious! Don't scold him casually! What should he do if he is psychologically traumatized? There are not many good doctors like Wei Lan who tell the truth these days! Why did you want to completely rectify the medical office? Isn’t it because they have a corrupt atmosphere and only know how to run dogs and evade responsibility? Wei Lan’s temperament Frankly, you are corrupting our Chief Medical Officer!"
Adrian watched Finn speechlessly all the way up and down the line. After a while, his opinion on Wei Lan was already going to affect the great cause of human revival.
No wonder those soldiers would specifically ask him not to tell the adjutant when they complained about Wei Lan.
Adrian said decisively: "I was wrong, I shouldn't disrespect the medical officer, I deeply reflect on it, please let me go, I really have something else to do."
"It's about the same." Fein was satisfied now, and put his arms around Adrian's shoulders, "The news from the capital star hasn't arrived yet, and it's rare to be busy these two days. What's the matter with you? Let's go and have dinner together." Bar."
"No, I'll go to the restaurant to pack something and leave."
"Oh..." Fein said ambiguously, "Are you in a hurry to go home? Then who is better?"
Adrian stopped in his tracks, "How do you know he's not good?"
"It's spread all over the headquarters!" Fein said. "The second day after the special commissioner stayed at your house, the medical officer was summoned urgently to your private residence. When he came back, he was asked, and he said that the doctor could not disclose Patient privacy, refused to say a word. At first, most people thought that you finally couldn't help beating up someone in your own home, but you didn't come to the headquarters for two days, and now there are all kinds of rumors .”
"Why are you so idle? The daily training dose is not enough to keep your mouths shut, right?"
The two chatted and walked to the elevator door, just in time to bump into the liaison officer of the intelligence department coming out of the elevator.
"Commander, I'm going to find you! Ah, the adjutant is also here, just in time, there is news from Capital Star."
Both Adrian and Finn looked serious, and Finn asked: "Information confirmed? Artificial intelligence..."
"Uh, it's not artificial intelligence information. About the 'butterfly', our people in the capital star have contacted a specimen shop there, and they are urgently confirming." The liaison officer said, "It was later that you asked for additional investigation Things have come to fruition.”
What he will investigate later...
Adrian said, "Come to my office and talk."
Fein saw that the liaison officer's face was not relaxed, and his heart tightened. He entered the office and asked, "What's the matter? Did that guy really have any collusion with Bud Person?"
"As far as the matter in front of us is concerned, it should not be."
Finn said, "That's fine."
"But," the liaison officer said awkwardly, "the special commissioner, he was indeed in the camp of Senator Person in the two years after he just graduated. It's just that in the third year, he didn't know why he suddenly withdrew."
"And this part?" Fein was stunned. "He had a falling out with Payson, and he was able to get along in the Supreme Council later?"
The liaison officer shook his head and said: "That's not the case, because of this, his political career in the Supreme Council in the next two years was not satisfactory, and he could only participate in some marginal work, promoting the "Interstellar Giant Rabbit Hunting Law" and so on. He has no real power. It wasn't until he formed a party with... well, with Mr. Art, that he had a chance to stand up again. Later, with the support of Mr. Arthur, he became a non-voting member. This old thing is not counted. It is very hidden. Many high-level officials in the Supreme Council know about it. We heard about it after a little inquiring. When the special commissioner graduated, he was sent to his team by Mr. Peisen, and he also gave him a lot of high-quality resources. It seems that He wanted to support him vigorously, and no one knew why they broke up after two years, or whether Congressman Payson kicked him out, or whether he retired bravely."
Adrian looked gloomy. His prediction came true. Among the two giants, Bud Payson and Starben Art, Zhong Yan really preferred Payson back then. But, what happened back then, that Zhong Yan was willing to bear the pressure of being suppressed and retaliated by Pei Sen's party, and got off this huge ship sailing to the pinnacle of power
