Xu Xinghe stayed in the Third Military Hospital for two days, and his physical indicators have returned to normal.
So on the afternoon of the third day, he finally got his wish and was discharged from the hospital.
Because Ling Changfeng had a meeting, he sent Qin Yuan to pick him up and leave the hospital.
"Are you going back to the Marshal's Mansion directly?" Qin Yuan surprised Xu Xinghe, "I thought you were going to find a friend to eat hot pot first."
Xu Xinghe shook his head: "Everyone has something to do today, I'll go back and see Xiaoqi first."
Qin Yuan asked: "Xiao Qi?"
"My cat." Xu Xinghe explained, "I haven't seen him for three days, I miss him and I'm a little worried about him, I have to go back and have a look."
Qin Yuan: "..." It really wasn't the reason he thought.
"Then I'll take you home first." Qin Yuan directed people to drive, while chatting with Xu Xinghe, "I said, I saw another long-haired cat on the Marshal yesterday. .I asked him if he had any other cats, and he responded with an 'hmm'."
"What?" Xu Xinghe suddenly became alert, "That's my cat! How did he raise it?"
Qin Yuan: "...that's not the point, the point is that he raises a cat for you."
Xu Xinghe: "So why did he keep my cat?"
Qin Yuan looked at him with a complicated expression, "Do you think he's taken a fancy to your cat?"
Xu Xinghe curled his lips: "It's useless to look at, could it be possible to snatch it? And Marshal Ling doesn't have a cat himself? Aaron is so good-looking, what else is he not satisfied with?"
Qin Yuan: "..."
The brain circuits of these two people, in a sense, are quite a match.
Qin Yuan didn't say anything, and cheerfully sent Xu Xinghe back to his residence.
Back at the Marshal's Mansion, Xu Xinghe went straight to his room on the second floor.
As a result, Xiao Qi was not there.
"Where's my cat?" he asked the orderly beside him.
He Han, the steward, came over and said, "Your cat is in the cat room on the east side of the third floor."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yuan asked in surprise, "Did you raise it with Aaron?"
He Han nodded: "They are together, but..."
"What!?" Xu Xinghe's heart skipped a beat.
Qin Yuan also frowned.
Cats are solitary animals with a strong sense of territoriality. When two cats meet for the first time, they are prone to fight.
Therefore, if two cats are raised in the same family, they should be isolated for a period of time, and they can only meet each other after they get familiar with each other's smell.
What's more, Aaron, the cat uncle, has a bad temper and likes to show his paws when he disagrees.
Before, I brought my own Labrador to the Marshal's Mansion, and I almost didn't get scratched by Aaron.
How can such two cats be raised together directly? The people in Marshal's Mansion can't be so careless, can they
He Han was speechless for a while, and his expression became a little indescribable: "Well, you can see for yourself, they..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Xinghe disappeared with a "whoosh".
Qin Yuan blinked behind him, hooked his two little fingers together, and asked He Han: "Is this the reason I thought?"
He Han nodded.
"WOW~" Qin Yuan whistled, and walked slowly towards the third floor.
Xu Xinghe trotted all the way to the third floor, and pushed open the door of the cat room.
At a glance, I saw the fluffy Ms. Xiaoqi lying comfortably on the ground, holding a small dried fish in her arms and gnawing on it.
In front of Xiao Qi, all kinds of cat snacks piled up into a hill.
Not far away, Aaron walked over with his beloved dried fish in his mouth, and silently placed the dried fish in front of Xiao Qi.
He didn't eat it himself, so he quietly watched Xiao Qi eat it.
Xu Xinghe: "..."
This is not the most speechless thing, the most speechless thing is that the tails of these two cats are hooked together!
Major General Qin Yuan, who followed up to watch the fun, was also dumbfounded.
Is this the cat raised by Changfeng that doesn't lose in fights with dogs and is more protective of food than dogs!
Did you change your sex when you met a little female cat?
Xu Xinghe licked his back teeth, and asked, "When did they start?"
He Han lowered his head in shame: "I don't know much about this either. At first we were worried that the two cats would fight each other, so we fed them separately. Until yesterday morning, someone saw Aaron holding his favorite small dried fish in his mouth. At the door of Xiaoqi's room, and then Xiaoqi started scratching the door... "
Xu Xinghe said with a gloomy expression, "Has your marshal's cat been neutered?"
He Han was stunned for a moment: "No, Aaron is an extreme breed of cat, so neutering is generally not considered."
Xu Xinghe: "..."
He flew over and picked up Xiao Qi.
"Meow?" Xiao Qi's sapphire-like eyes lit up when he saw his master came back.
Immediately, the little fish was gone, and his two claws hooked Xu Xinghe's neck at once, rubbing his neck affectionately.
Xu Xinghe: "..."
He originally wanted to warn Xiaoqi to stay away from the tomcat and not to be blinded by delicious food. But Xiao Qi pressed against his chest so softly that he couldn't say anything.
Qin Yuan sighed from the side: "Your cat has such a good temper."
Xu Xinghe raised his chin: "Of course, our Xiao Qi has the best temper in the world!"
So you must not be easily arched!
Thinking of this, Xu Xinghe looked down at Aaron again.
The Persian cat with different pupils was squatting upright on the spot, with a pair of cat eyes as blue and gold as Marshal Ling, staring intently at him... Xiao Qi in his arms.
Xiao Qi seemed to sense the other party's gaze, and shyly covered her face with her fluffy tail.
Xu Xinghe: "..."
Hehe, I can't laugh.
Originally, he looked at Aaron from the perspective of a cat lover, and thought that he was good everywhere, with smooth fur, strong limbs, and excellent appearance.
But looking at this Persian cat now, I just feel that it has a dangerous atmosphere all over its body.
And Xiao Qi is soft and cowardly, what if he gets bullied when he is with it
"I'll take Xiaoqi back to my room to raise him." Xu Xinghe said to He Han.
He thought that Ling Changfeng rushed to adopt Xiao Qi because he fell in love with Xiao Qi, and after a long time, he wanted to find a wife for his cat
Think beautifully!
After returning to the room and settling down Xiao Qi, it was time for dinner again in a blink of an eye.
Xu Xinghe asked Qin Yuan: "Are you staying for dinner?"
Qin Yuan waved his hand: "No, the Marshal is about to finish his meeting, so I have to go back now. You have just been discharged from the hospital, so go to bed early after eating."
Xu Xinghe nodded, and remembered another thing: "By the way, what was that 'surprise' you mentioned in the hospital last time?"
"Tsk, I wanted to tell you in a few days, but since you asked directly—" Qin Yuan smiled mysteriously, "The joining day of the Gamma galaxy is coming soon, and the annual state banquet will be held in Capital Star again. "
Xu Xinghe: "A state banquet?"
Born in the capital city, he knew the tradition of holding a state banquet on the day of joining the alliance.
Every year at this time, the alliance government of the Gamma galaxy will invite important people from all walks of life, as well as people who have made outstanding contributions to the alliance, to come to a banquet and entertain them in the capital Furui Palace.
At that time, hundreds of people will gather together, and the scene is grand and extraordinary.
The state banquet has gradually evolved from the initial reception dinner to a grand ceremony that lasted for several hours, and even derived forms such as red carpets and dances. It is an annual feast that the media rushes to report on.
"What does this have to do with me?" Xu Xinghe asked.
Qin Yuan replied: "Marshal Ling used to be on the battlefield in the east, and he always refused invitations for state banquets. But this year is different. This year he returned to Capital Star. I suggest that he should save face on such important social occasions." , to attend."
"So?" Xu Xinghe still looked puzzled.
Qin Yuan said: "So, you also have to attend."
"Ah!?" Xu Xinghe was stunned, "W-why?"
Qin Yuan took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Because you are now the marshal's legal spouse, according to regulations he will bring his family to attend."
Xu Xinghe: "..."
He was speechless for a while, and asked tangledly: "This, can you not go?"
Qin Yuan's expression was more tangled than his: "Why? That's a state banquet!"
Xu Xinghe: "I'm not in that circle, I don't know anyone, and I don't want to go to social, so why do I go?"
"Just because of this? Are there any other concerns?" Qin Yuan asked.
Xu Xinghe thought for a while, and replied: "It's not a concern, it's just that I don't want to go. What, will it cause you any trouble?"
Qin Yuan sighed: "To be honest, it will be a little bit. But everything depends on your wishes. If you really don't want to go, that's okay. It's just Changfeng..."
Qin Yuan paused, did not continue, but changed the topic: "At that time, the media's explanation work may also be a little troublesome, and lace news will be flying all over the sky again."
Xu Xinghe: "..."
Qin Yuan's words reminded him that Mu Qingyun was also invited to attend the state banquet last year - alone.
Apparently General Mu wasn't thick-skinned enough to dare to take Mi Lu to the state banquet during the wedding, but he also didn't bring himself.
How the Mu family explained this, Xu Xinghe didn't know, he just remembered that night, he seemed to have spent overtime in the ark.
If I don't attend this time, some media will probably make some irrelevant reports again...
He is not afraid of being said, but if there are too many gossips around him, he will get annoyed.
Xu Xinghe thought for a while and said, "It's not that I can't go, so what should I do to prepare?"
"No need, it's fine when the person arrives." Qin Yuan heaved a sigh of relief as soon as he heard him let go, and cupped his fists at Xu Xinghe and said, "Thank you for your kindness, our marshal will entrust you."
Xu Xinghe: "?"
"By the way, can you dance ballroom dancing?" Qin Yuan asked.
Xu Xinghe was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, you still need to know how to dance when you go to a banquet?"
Qin Yuan said: "Then what if someone invites you?"
Xu Xinghe asked back: "Who will invite me?"
Qin Yuan: "..."
He looked at Xu Xinghe silently, with an expression of "what do you think?".
It was only then that Xu Xinghe remembered that he still had a legal husband, but—
"You mean Marshal Ling? How is that possible!"
This option has already been kicked out of his mind instinctively. Just thinking about that scene makes people get goosebumps!
Qin Yuan said: "Why is it impossible? I tentatively said yesterday that I would invite a dance teacher to teach some basic movements, but he didn't even refuse - the documents to be approved are all piled up!"
Xu Xinghe: "..."
Qin Yuan waved his hand: "Forget it, let's not talk about this, as long as you are willing to attend, these are small problems. Then let's settle the matter like this first? In a few days, I will find someone to measure and customize the dress for you. By the way Also invite a dance teacher to teach you, do you think it's okay?"
"It's okay to measure clothes, but you don't need to learn to dance? Will your marshal really invite me to dance?" Xu Xinghe was deeply skeptical about this. "And—" he finally belatedly realized, "you call that a 'surprise'??"
Qin Yuan said: "What else? Go to the state banquet! If you say it, you can brag for a lifetime!"
Xu Xinghe didn't look very surprised.
"Don't be like this, just look forward to it." Qin Yuan blinked at him, and smiled: "Maybe there will be a surprise that day."
