Ling Xiao stood outside the door nervously, not even knowing where to put his hands. From time to time, he had to tidy up his clothes, and he kept asking Ying Feng if he had any inappropriate things.
Ying Feng felt that he was exaggerating, "Are you so nervous?"
Instead, Ling Xiao didn't understand why he was so calm. He had to know that the one who was about to meet them was the marshal, the supreme commander of the military. In the Celestial Star, which advocates force, the status of a marshal is equivalent to that of the president of other countries. If he is received by the president, is he not allowed to be nervous as a first-year military academy student
Under the leadership of the non-commissioned officers, they finally came to the Marshal. He has only been seen from a distance in the media or at celebrations. He is arrogant and majestic, and everyone who sees him will be in awe.
"Hello Marshal!" Ling Xiao stood at attention and gave a military salute.
Although the Marshal had a straight face, those who knew him could see that he was in a good mood at this moment.
"Your performance this time is quite outstanding. Whether it is the emergency response to emergencies, the wisdom and courage with fewer enemies and more, or the sense of responsibility to protect the young, all are admirable. On behalf of the military, I thank you for your excellence. Contribute and be proud that the military has talent like yours in the future."
The marshal took the medal from someone else and put it on Ling Xiao solemnly, "This medal for outstanding contribution has not been awarded to anyone other than serving soldiers for many years, congratulations on winning this honor."
There was applause at the scene, Ling Xiao excitedly gave another military salute, "Thank you Marshal!"
Then he watched the marshal wear the second military medal on Ying Feng's chest in the same way, and the sense of pride at that moment was even greater than the recognition he received.
Compared with Ling Xiao's performance, Ying Feng was much calmer. He also raised his hand to give a standard military salute, and then shook hands with the marshal politely, neither humble nor arrogant. The marshal silently praised him in his heart. A person's leadership qualities can often be manifested at a very young age, and the young man in front of him undoubtedly has such potential.
There were quite a few officers present at the scene. Some of them were often seen in the news media. Some of them had heard of their names even if Ling Xiao was unfamiliar with them. Long Yin pretended not to know each other since they came in.
At the end of the award ceremony, many people gathered around to congratulate the two of them, followed by someone who asked questions related to the Jiaying. The military has been chasing Tai Yin all these years, and they have always been cunning to escape. Ling Xiao and the others are the only ones who have penetrated into the enemy's interior, and they have a lot of information that even the military does not know.
Ying Feng explained in detail all the information he got from the Kahawk, including the number of enemies, ship configuration, weapons and equipment... Ling Xiao listened and listened, only to realize that when he didn't know anything, Ying Feng had secretly I've seen so much, and I remember it by heart. And all his attention was distracted by Feijing, and he was asked to recite the structure of the enemy starship, almost impossible to say one or two.
The award ceremony turned into a combat seminar, and it wasn't until the intervention of the marshal that he interrupted the scene.
"Marshal, is there anything else you want to order?" Ling Xiao asked.
"It's not me, it's someone else who wants to meet you." After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands and turned a person out of it.
He looks familiar, and some people are born with a sense of intimacy, and this is the person he is talking about. As soon as Ling Xiao came out of the other side, his eyes could not be separated from his face, as if there was some force there that attracted him.
"Hello," he greeted Ling Xiao with a smile.
"Hello," Ling Xiao asked stupidly, "Have I seen you somewhere?"
After hearing this, the man smiled, "I am the marshal's deed, and you may be familiar with another identity of mine."
"Another identity?"
"He's the bishop of the church today, and we've seen it in the hallway of the church."
Ying Feng's words awakened Ling Xiao, not only in the corridors of the church, but his image appeared in many places, but they didn't believe in religion and didn't pay attention.
But wait! The bishop of the church, the marshal's Qizi, Ling Xiao blurted out:
"Aren't the church and the military opposed?"
Ying Feng nudged him with his arm, Ling Xiao realized that he had made a mistake and regretted it.
But the bishop didn't care, but smiled and said, "Do you have any misunderstanding about the church? We are not on the opposite side of the military. The military is the one who protects us and defends the country. How can the church oppose it? It's just that In some respects, our position is at odds with the military, and we are always looking for the greatest possible break-in."
Ling Xiao glanced at the marshal secretly, and was it okay to express his different military stance from the master? But the latter seemed to be used to it, as if it were strange that he didn't say so.
"Is your name Ling Xiao?" The bishop looked at him gently, "I used to know a child surnamed Ling, who is as kind as you."
"Is it Ling Xing?" Ling Xiao had something to do with the church, and Ling Xiao intuitively thought of this name.
The bishop was startled, "You know him?"
Ling Xiao hesitantly said, "We came out of an energy capsule, I've heard of it."
The bishop stared at him for a while, then sighed silently, "It's a pity that he left at a young age. If he is reincarnated, he should be at the age of awakening."
The marshal put his hand on the bishop's shoulder and signaled him not to continue this topic, and the bishop also adjusted his emotions in time.
"Just now, the marshal expressed his gratitude to you on behalf of the military, and I also want to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the church, because you saved a baby. After years of efforts, the military and the church were unable to save him, but you did. ."
"Tiansu's population has shrunk by 40% compared to the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Whether we want to admit it or not, it is an indisputable fact that due to wars and various accidents, the number of our race has always been decreasing. If there is no turnaround, we are destined to Going to extinction. In this situation, every baby is extremely precious to us, so you are not only saving a hostage, but also a soul, which is a huge contribution to the entire country. "
"This is what we should do." Ling Xiao said with his chest out.
"I'm sorry to say so much without permission, but it's actually another person who wants to thank you in person." He stepped aside, revealing the delicate and shy baby behind him. Although he looked like a child, Ling Xiao knew that he woke up much earlier than himself, at least thirty years old. "Come on, Shang Yang, don't you have something to tell them yourself? Don't be afraid," the bishop encouraged.
Shang Yang hesitated several times, but the bishop explained to Ling Xiao and the others for him, "He has been isolated from his companions for too long and is not very good at communicating with others, please give him a little patience."
"It's okay, you speak slowly."
"Thank you for saving me," Shang Yang summoned his courage, "I heard that you were in danger and fought so many people for me. You are really brave."
"In that kind of environment, I think you are the real brave person to be able to sneak into the rescue capsule to escape." Ling Xiao praised him from the bottom of his heart. It takes a lot of courage to face the vast universe alone.
The bright light in Shang Yang's eyes flickered, Ling Xiao was not only his savior, but also the first person to say such a thing to him.
"What about your own name? Why do they still call you Shang Yang?"
"His real information has been erased by Tai Yin, and it can't be found in the database." The bishop interfaced.
Those who participated in this incident back then, Tai Yin would not say that Yaotai has gone, but there is still one person who knows the truth.
Just as Ling Xiao was about to speak, he heard the bishop say, "The fact that he is here is still a secret for the time being. I don't want to disclose it to the public, and I can't let unrelated people know, so as not to leak the news."
Ling Xiao understood, it turned out that Yuquan was also an unrelated person, but he was illegally imprisoned by Tai Yin since he woke up, and now he just hides in another place, isn't it too pitiful.
"Then he can't go to school, and can't contact other babies?"
"For the sake of his safety, I'm afraid this is the case for the time being. Tai Yin is a man with a super-intelligence quotient, and we dare not despise him. As long as there is a chance, he will do whatever he can to let him go to elementary school to study. It's too dangerous. We're not going to try it rashly."
"It's a pity, if he can get in touch with the same kind and find a person he likes to hold a coming-of-age ceremony as soon as possible, then there is nothing he can do even if he is too Yin."
From Shang Yang's eyes, Ling Xiao clearly saw the expectation, so he had an idea.
"Today is the Babies Festival. There are a lot of Babies outside. If we take him to a networking party, it shouldn't be discovered."
Shang Yang looked at the bishop with his wet eyes, the bishop turned to the marshal helplessly, and the marshal made a decision under the pressure of everyone's eyes.
"I will send two people to follow you to avoid accidents."
Shang Yang's eyes were almost excited, Ling Xiao happily hooked Shang Yang's neck, "Go, I'll take you to the carnival."
The two walked out happily, the Marshal gave Ying Feng a warning look, and Ying Feng naturally understood what he wanted to say.
"Don't worry, I will be optimistic about those two babies."
Ling Xiao and the others returned to the school with Shang Yang and two bodyguards. At this time, it was dark and the party was about to start. To be on the safe side, they also prepared a mask for Shang Yang.
Yutian Military Academy is the golden institution of Tiansu, and the young students studying here naturally have the reputation of "golden bachelors". On this day every year, many young students from other colleges and universities come from thousands of miles away. Participating in Yutian's carnival party, eager to meet the excellent other half, many young people gathered together, providing the right time and place for Shang Yang to conceal his identity.
When they arrived at the party, they discovered that there were two doors, one slightly wider and the other narrower, allowing only one person to pass through.
Even many adults came to the party. It seems that the Young State Festival is not the patent of Young State. When there is a lively place, there will be no shortage of Hongmao's figure. After seeing Ling Xiao, he excitedly greeted him behind the wide door, "Go through this door! Go through this door!"
"Is there any difference?" Ling Xiao asked while standing between the two doors.
The service staff of the party introduced with a smile, "Today is Infant Day. All the people who come to the party are single, and the narrow door is enough to pass through, but if you have to enter as a couple at the same time, you will be punished."
It turns out that it is just a door, even if they walk through the narrow door, they are still lovers. Ling Xiao just wanted to enter through the narrow gate, but was grabbed by Ying Feng domineeringly and dragged him towards the wide gate.
"Hey, don't be so high-profile in front of a single baby," Ling Xiao whispered.
"Isn't it?" Ying Feng asked solemnly.
Ling Xiao thought for a while and declared his surrender, "Yes, you are right."
"Shang Yang, you..." He just turned his head to say hello, when he found that the other party had passed through the narrow door and ran in front of them, waiting expectantly to watch the show.
"I don't know what the punishment is," Ling Xiao muttered in a low voice, stepping into the wide door with Ying Feng.
A bucket of water fell from the sky. Seeing that the two of them were about to be drenched in soup, they were properly protected by a protective shield, not even a drop of water on their bodies.
"Ah, to actually use soul crystals, it's too much!" The audience of the show condemned Ying Feng for being unkind.
Ling Xiao is triumphant, my deed master is so witty!
"It's just cheating!" Hong Mao and the others came up to meet him, "I thought it was rare to see Ying Feng making an embarrassment, and even this wish would not be granted to us during the festival."
Ling Xiao noticed that their clothes were also dry, "How did you come here?"
"We pulled the rain and gathered them together. They walked in front. We saw that the situation was not good and we hurriedly slipped through the small door."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Xiao saw Yuji and the two who were walking towards this side. Sure enough, the two of them seemed to have been drenched in the rain. It was rare that Shuangfeng was not sleeping during the free time.
"You are no better, you are more cunning than us."
Everyone laughed at each other, and Ling Xiao introduced Shang Yang to them.
"This is my friend Xiao Yang, who came to play with us today."
He didn't say anything else. Yuji and the others just thought they were Ling Xiao's friends in the elementary school. Although Hongmao and the others had met Shang Yang, they couldn't recognize him through the mask. Ling Xiao couldn't explain it in front of everyone. .
No one asked anything, everyone just welcomed Shang Yang's arrival.
"Are you looking for someone, kid? We have a lot of outstanding singles here."
Ling Xiao smiled and pushed the red hair, the children in his mouth were much older than him in terms of waking up years.
Shang Yang had never talked to so many people before. Even on the Kao Ying, Tai Yin kept him in a small room alone, and there was only one person he saw at ordinary times, so he timidly hid behind Ling Xiao.
"You scared the children," Ling Xiao said sarcastically.
Hongmao quickly made up for it, "I just saw that there are also young Shiji graduates to participate in this festival, and I will introduce them to you later."
"No, your academy is not reliable," Ling Xiao thought of Hong Mao's classmate in the Department of Chemistry. If he hadn't given something wrong, they wouldn't have been punished for voluntary labor, and they wouldn't have encountered the guilt of fleeing. Yang, naturally, he wouldn't be able to save him... Thinking about it this way, it seems that I have to thank others.
"Ha? You dare to say that my deed master is unreliable?"
Ling Xiao pulled Shang Yang inside, completely ignoring the red hair screaming behind him.
There were many booths at the party, and many booths were crowded with people.
"Come and participate in our event," someone took the initiative to invite Ling Xiao and his party, "You can participate in the young adult form."
"What activity?"
"We are part of the old-fashioned club. We are proud of being single. As long as we draw lots, answer the questions and get everyone's approval, we can get the small gifts we prepared."
"Answering questions? I'm good at this," Red Mao rushed to the front and rolled up his sleeves, "I'm here to participate!"
The folks at the club happily handed each of them real flowers and virtual rotten eggs that, when hit, produce simultaneous visual, auditory and olfactory effects that disappear for 30 seconds.
"In a while, if you think the people on the stage answered well, throw flowers. If you are not satisfied, throw eggs. We will judge whether the answer passes the test according to the voting results."
Hong Mao moved quickly, and he had already stepped on the stage. He reached out and patted the machine, and his problem came out.
—Adult question: What is the one thing you regret the most since you got married
Ling Xiao probably understood, this is an older baby club. If a baby comes to power, it is estimated that they will make a declaration of singleness. If it is an adult, then say something that is not good enough to make the baby more proud of being single. .
"I regret it the most..." Hong Mao frowned, clenched the microphone tightly, and looked like he was racking his brains.
Ling Xiao was already waiting for him to give up a blank, this question was too difficult for Hongmao.
"One of the things I regret the most is that when I formed a contract with the deed master, it was already thirteen years ago. I regretted this very much, and my bowels turned green. Why didn't I earlier What about confessing to him? If I can confess earlier, we can spend a little more time together, one day earlier, one more year, one year earlier, I only confessed when I was 13 years old, this is a waste How long has it been?"
He pointed at the audience in high spirits, "So you old babies, get rid of your singleness and find your destined other half. When you find someone you truly love, you will regret why you have wasted all these years alone. You are now The longer you are single, the less time you have to spend in love in the future, the longer you delay, the more regrets you will have, so what are you waiting for? Hurry up and act!"
