Second Marriage with the Alliance Marshal

Chapter 54: method

Views:

Xiaoqi was adopted by Xu Xinghe in his junior year.

In the past two years, it has accompanied him to rush through the thesis, celebrate the New Year, witnessed his graduation, employment, and marriage, and spent countless lonely nights together.

As a beautiful and clingy Braddor cat, Xiao Qi easily captured the heart of his owner and became an important "family member" in Xu Xinghe's mouth.

So when Ling Changfeng said that the cat would miss him, Xu Xinghe really softened his heart and couldn't bear it.

He looked down at Xiaoqi, who was shaking his big fluffy tail and rubbing against his feet, as if he was unaware of the fact that his master was about to go far away, and raised his head obediently "meow" .

Xu Xinghe squatted down, and while helping Xiao Qi smooth his hair, he thought seriously about Ling Changfeng's proposal: "Okay, then I will try to make a video with Xiao Qi every night before going to bed. But how should I do it? Camera, and install a projection screen?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and glanced at the time, struggling to say: "But it's too late, I have to go out again early tomorrow morning..."

Ling Changfeng interrupted him lightly: "No need, you dial the video call to me."

Xu Xinghe was taken aback, then raised his head: "Huh?"

Marshal Ling explained calmly: "Xiao Qi runs around the house with Aaron every day, and it's useless for you to install a camera in the room. Why don't I take it to video with you every night when I feed the cat."

Xu Xinghe blinked: "Will this trouble you too much?"

Ling Changfeng said decisively: "No trouble."

"Okay... then thank you." Xu Xinghe nodded, since the person involved himself said it was nothing, then he had no reason to refuse.

"But, aren't you very busy recently?" Xu Xinghe suddenly thought of another question, "What if you are still working in the military department when I call at night?"

Ling Changfeng frowned slightly, this is indeed a problem: "If I'm doing important work, I won't take it."

Xu Xinghe: "..."

He knew that the reason why Ling Changfeng said this was because he had to abide by the relevant confidentiality regulations, and he could not answer external calls during some confidential conversations.

But he took advantage of the situation and thought about it. Since Ling Changfeng is already so busy, asking him to take care of the cat himself doesn't seem too kind, so he should ask He Han himself.

Xu Xinghe: "Or forget it..."

Ling Changfeng: "Why don't I call you instead..."

The voices of the two sounded at the same time.

Xu Xinghe: "?"

Ling Changfeng paused, and added the second half of the sentence with his usual expression: "When I am free at night."

Xu Xinghe was silent for a moment, and tentatively said: "How about leaving this matter to He Han? Just concentrate on your work."

Ling Changfeng pursed his lips, and said expressionlessly: "No, once He Han gets close to Xiao Qi, he will be scratched by Aaron."

Xu Xinghe: "..."

He asked curiously: "Is Aaron really bad-tempered? Why do I think it's okay."

Everyone said that Aaron had a bad temper, but he had never seen Aaron's paws shining, and he only thought that Aaron was quite polite to him, and he was a good and polite cat.

He even saw Xiao Qi put his head directly into the cat bowl of Aaron to eat its cat food in front of Aaron a few times, and he didn't see Aaron's instinctive food protection reaction.

It made him think for a while that Aaron had a good temper.

"That's for you." Ling Changfeng said slowly, "You can talk to Qin Yuan about Aaron's usual temper. He once brought his Alaskan dog to visit—" He said, and stretched out his hand He made a gesture, "Such a big dog, being scratched by Aaron, will never come again."

Xu Xinghe: "..."

He had a weird expression on his face and said, "It seems that Aaron is doing me a favor?"

Ling Changfeng gave a faint "hmm" and said with a double entendre: "After all, I love my house and my crow."

Hearing what he said, Xu Xinghe decided not to make things difficult for He Han: "Then I'll leave it to you to take care of Xiao Qi."

After finishing speaking, I was a little embarrassed, "Thank you for your hard work, I will treat you to eat when I come back—"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly realized that Ling Changfeng had no interest in eating, so he changed his words: "I invite you to eat, watch a movie, or do anything else."

When Ling Changfeng heard this, the different pupils slowly scanned Xu Xinghe back and forth a few times, first he nodded lightly: "It's not hard."

Then he replied, "We'll talk about it when you come back."

When he said this, the ending sound rose slightly, mixed with a trace of inexplicable expectation, as if he was already looking forward to the return of the tourists before the trip started.

Xu Xinghe put aside a worry, and continued to pack his luggage.

Ling Changfeng watched from the side, and suddenly asked him: "You must pay attention to safety when you travel. Qin Yuan has already called the local security department to ask them to be more vigilant..."

"Eh? No, no, no!" Xu Xinghe raised his head and waved his hands quickly after hearing this, "I just hang out with my colleagues in the department for a few days, it's not a big deal. I used to travel a lot when I was in school, so I know what to do , some special care is unnecessary, otherwise..."

"Don't worry, no one followed you." Seeing that he had misunderstood, Ling Changfeng interrupted him in a low voice, explaining: "It's just to say hello, and it won't affect your normal travel. You can play as you want." How to play."

"Oh, that's good." Xu Xinghe finally felt relieved. I thought if Ling Changfeng really sent someone to protect him personally, how could it be fun

Ling Changfeng saw his expression and asked, "Do you like going out to play?"

Xu Xinghe kept packing his luggage, and replied casually: "I can't say 'very', but I really like to wander around. Didn't I often go out with my classmates and friends before?"

Ling Changfeng pursed his thin lips: "But sometimes I ask you out, and you say that you have a rare vacation and want to lie down at home."

Xu Xinghe: "..." Well, this is what he often said.

"Well, my love of playing and being a dead house don't seem to be contradictory?" Xu Xinghe thought for a while, "If I play too much, I want to go home and lie down, and if I lie down for a long time, I want to go out and play. I haven't been out for a long time. The floating city is gone, so I want to go out for a stroll. It is said that the snow scene in Nanga is very beautiful, and I will take some photos for you to see."

His eyes are always bright when he mentions the things he is interested in.

Ling Changfeng's mood seemed to brighten after receiving such a gaze.

So I thought: "Forget it, it's only four and a half days, not to mention the video call every night, it's no big deal."

Just as he was thinking like this, he saw Xu Xinghe put the casual toiletries into a small bag, put them in the suitcase, and muttered: "I don't know if the hotel is a single room, if it's a double room, what do I wash every night?" It's not very convenient."

Ling Changfeng: "..."

"Double room?" Marshal Ling repeated these three words, his voice lowered unconsciously, "They will arrange a double room for you?"

Xu Xinghe was still concentrating on packing his luggage, completely unaware of the key point, and replied without raising his head: "Not necessarily, I haven't asked yet."

After hearing this, Ling Changfeng stood there and looked at him without saying a word.

Under such a long gaze, Xu Xinghe finally raised his head as if feeling something: "What's wrong?"

Marshal Ling replied blankly: "For a double room, it's not very convenient to video."

Xu Xinghe blinked: "That's right...then I'll tell them to ask for a private room."

After speaking, he began to pack his luggage again, as if such a small problem was not worth mentioning at all.

Although he got his promise, Marshal Ling didn't become any happier because of it.

Still staring at Xu Xinghe thoughtfully.

Xu Xinghe also felt the low air pressure around him belatedly, and raised his head again: "What's the matter?"

Ling Changfeng looked away: "Nothing."

It's really nothing, although his little spouse is not sad at all because of the next five days of separation, although he thinks it doesn't matter if he sleeps in a double room with someone else, although he still tries to hand over the work of video calls every night to He Han, but these alone Picking up one thing is a trivial matter.

It's just that these few small things piled up together still made Marshal Ling slightly unhappy.

Xu Xinghe always felt that Ling Changfeng was acting weird tonight.

He can perceive the other party's emotions to a certain extent, but he doesn't know where this emotion comes from.

He thought for a while, and asked cautiously, "Recently... have you been under a lot of work pressure?"

Ling Changfeng: "..."

He was about to deny it, but he suddenly thought of something, changed the subject, and asked in a neutral tone: "When you are under a lot of work pressure, how do you usually resolve it?"

Hearing what he said, Xu Xinghe strengthened his guess, so he didn't pack up his things, stood up, hugged Xiao Qi, sat on the sofa, and began to share his decompression experience very kindly: "When I was stressed, I usually go to eat something delicious by myself, or hide at home and pet the cat, read a book or watch a movie... What are you doing standing there? Come and sit down."

After all, he moved to the side of the sofa to make room.

Ling Changfeng's different pupils lightly swept across the empty seat, and with a flash of light, he sat down obediently.

After sitting down, he sighed lightly, not loudly, just enough for Xu Xinghe to hear.

On a treacherous and ever-changing battlefield, calmly analyzing the battle situation and then adopting an appropriate and optimal combat plan is the basic quality that a commander must possess.

So Ling Changfeng has gradually realized that under the seemingly hard and prickly hedgehog shell of his little spouse, the inside is actually a mess of softness.

Kind, honest, and compassionate.

It is suitable for soft grinding, not forcible attack.

Ling Changfeng sat down beside him impartially like a strong pine, and asked Xu Xinghe: "Aren't you bored to decompress by yourself?"

Xu Xinghe shook his head: "It's not boring. When I'm happy, I like crowded people. When I'm unhappy, I just want to be alone. It's best not to have anyone come to me... By the way, when I'm stressed, I might Go back to the playground of Capital University and run, lap and lap, until you are tired. You can also try this, the fitness decompression method, let yourself sweat a little, and you will relax a lot after exercising."

Ling Changfeng looked at the way Xu Xinghe was seriously sharing his experience and trying to enlighten himself, and felt a little cute, but also wanted to laugh.

Although his little spouse came from a relatively rough background, he did indeed grow up in the greenhouse of Capital Star.

So he didn't know that when a person is really surrounded by great pressure, he has no time to do things like fitness and running.

However, Marshal Ling still accepted his proposal solemnly: "Okay."

Then took the opportunity to bring up the old matter again: "Didn't you say before that you want to get up early and exercise with me?"

Xu Xinghe: "..."

He just wanted to say that it was getting cold, so let's wait until next spring to talk about it.

But when he turned his head and saw Ling Changfeng's long eyelashes drooping slightly, a vague sigh seemed to ring in his ears.

He suddenly felt that it was not easy for Ling Changfeng to help him take care of the cat under such great pressure at work.

So as soon as the words came out, it became: "Wait for me to come back, we will exercise together after I come back."

Ling Changfeng raised his eyes: "Really?"

Xu Xinghe gritted his teeth: "Really!"

Marshal Ling gave a soft "hmm".

I feel better again.

While the two were talking, Xiao Qi had already jumped out of his master's embrace, and jumped into the suitcase for the nth time.

Xu Xinghe also remembered that he hadn't finished packing his suitcase, so he had no choice but to get up and continue.

He looked at Xiao Qi helplessly and affectionately, and carried it out tirelessly: "Xiao Qi, I'll pack the box first, and I'll play with you when I pack it."

When he said this, his voice was soft and gentle, and the movement of hugging Xiaoqi was also very gentle.

Ling Changfeng stood there, looked at Xu Xinghe's smiling face, and suddenly asked, "Why do you like Xiao Qi so much?"

He originally wanted to ask why you were so gentle to Xiao Qi, but he thought it was a bit strange to ask.

I never wanted to change the way of asking, and it was very strange to ask.

"Huh?" Xu Xinghe, who was petting the cat, was startled for a moment, raised his head and looked at Ling Changfeng for no reason, "Don't you like Aaron?"

Ling Changfeng: "... I like it too."

Xu Xinghe tilted his head and said: "Of course I like the cat I raise, not to mention that Xiao Qi has been with me for a long time."

"Yeah." Ling Changfeng pondered for a moment, "So, you like to stay with you for a longer... cat, don't you?"

Xu Xinghe was a little puzzled by his question, so he blinked dryly: "You can also say that."

Ling Changfeng nodded: "I see."

Xu Xinghe: "?"

What do you know?

"When you come back, we can start discussing about the two-week vacation." Ling Changfeng reminded him seemingly casually.

Xu Xinghe was stunned for a moment, thinking of the two-week "honeymoon", his heart was inexplicably moved, he hurriedly lowered his head and continued to pack his luggage, and then replied in a low voice: "Yes."

That night, the two chatted intermittently like this, and they didn't say good night to each other until after twelve o'clock.

Xu Xinghe also went to bed late because of this, but it didn't affect him to go out in good spirits the next morning.

Before going out, Ling Changfeng told him: "Be careful on the road, pay attention to safety, and contact me in time if you encounter any accidents."

"I know, you said this several times last night." Xu Xinghe pushed the huge suitcase, smiled and waved to him, "I'm leaving, goodbye."

Ling Changfeng's gaze flicked over the dimple on his left cheek, and his gaze paused slightly.

He knew that the travel time was fixed, but he still said: "Come back early, there is still a cat waiting for you at home."

Xu Xinghe: "Well, I will make a video call with you."

After a pause, he changed his words and said, "I will take your video."

There was a faint smile in the different pupils, Ling Changfeng sent him out, and said calmly: "It doesn't matter, you can video with me whenever you want, as long as I can answer, I will definitely answer."
