Xu Xinghe's new house is located on the east side of the second floor. It is a large suite with complete facilities.
He put down his luggage, settled the cat, then lay down on the sofa, and clicked on the group chat that had been ringing non-stop since just now—
Lin Qi: "How is it, Brother Xu? Did the wedding process go well? How is Marshal Ling?"
Vincent: "He should have arrived at the Marshal's Mansion by this point."
Vincent: "Are you still adapting to the new environment? @许星河"
Lin Qi: "Can you help me ask Marshal Ling for an autograph, Brother Xu?"
Vincent: "? I can understand if Qi Lier spoke. Why do you want Marshal Ling's autograph?"
Qi Lier: "?? Why do I want Marshal Ling's autograph?"
Lin Qi: "The next time my supervisor urges me to hand in my thesis, I will take out the Marshal's personal signature and tell him that I have a secret project of the military department that needs to be completed first, and I can only wait a while before handing in my thesis."
Vincent: "...how can you always come up with so many weird and lame reasons"
Vincent: "This is less credible than the last time you said that your computer was taken by a dog"
Qi Lier: "? Don't make trouble, the marshal's signature will not be given to anyone casually, be careful to play yourself in a military court"
Lin Qi: "...I'm sorry!!"
Vincent: "By the way, why didn't Xinghe reply to the message?"
Qi Lier: "Don't you want to miss Shu?"
Lin Qi: "It's broad daylight, could it be that we've almost entered the bridal chamber process?"
Xu Xinghe: "Lin Qi"
Lin Qi: "? Why do you suddenly call me by my first and last name?"
Lin Qi: "Fuck, I'm so panicked"
Xu Xinghe: "I think you, a graduate student, don't want to graduate on time."
Lin Qi: "This can't hurt me anymore, I've already made preparations to postpone my graduation."
Xu Xinghe: "Oh?"
Xu Xinghe: "Oh, I suddenly discovered that Professor Neumann is still in my address book."
Lin Qi: "... Brother, I was wrong"
Lin Qi: "Brother, show mercy!"
Lin Qi: "Brother, what's going on with you? Is the real Marshal Ling more handsome than Mu Qingyun's son-in-law?"
Xu Xinghe: "... I don't know, I haven't seen it"
Lin Qi: "Ah!? How come I didn't see it?? What about others?"
Xu Xinghe: "I don't know, what does it matter to me?"
Qi Lier: "Marshal, it's inevitable that there will be a lot of troubles every day."
Xu Xinghe: "Never mind him, I'll go wash and sleep first."
Vincent: "Brother Xu...it's only past four o'clock in the afternoon"
Xu Xinghe: "SO? I've been smirking for a whole day, and my face is almost stiff. Go and rest for a while."
Lin Qi: "You still fake smile?? Why don't you fake smile at me?"
Xu Xinghe: "Because you're not worth it"
Lin Qi: "Xinghe, you can easily lose me like this"
Xu Xinghe: "... I set the message do not disturb in this group, bye"
Xu Xinghe turned off his smartphone, and stared at the white ceiling for a while.
He didn't really intend to go to sleep, he just lay down on the sofa for a while, then got up to pack his pitifully small luggage.
At half past six in the evening, he had dinner alone in the house.
After dinner, I went out for a walk for an hour, and played with Xiao Qi for another hour when I came back, before going to wash and sleep.
As expected, Marshal Ling still didn't show up.
And this time, Xu Xinghe didn't want to wait any longer.
Unfortunately, as soon as Team Leader Xu stepped into the bathroom humming a ditty, he heard the sound of an orderly ringing the bell outside the door: "Mr. Xu, the marshal is back, please go over."
Holding the documents prepared in advance, Xu Xinghe arrived in front of Ling Changfeng's study under the leadership of the orderly.
Marshal Ling seemed to have just returned from some important occasion, and he was still wearing a neat military uniform. He was sitting behind a large desk, looking down at a blue document.
This was the first time Xu Xinghe met the "Black God of War" of the five major galaxies of the vertical and horizontal alliance.
Rows of dazzling medals were pinned on the man's chest, testifying to the achievements and glory of the Alliance Marshal in the past.
Just a stern side face, people can't take their eyes off.
The orderly stood at attention at the door and saluted: "Report to Marshal, Mr. Xu is here."
Ling Changfeng raised his head when he heard the movement.
His sight collided with Xu Xinghe.
The moment their eyes met, Xu Xinghe's heart skipped a beat.
The opponent's different pupils carried a sharp and decisive sharp edge, shooting straight at them like sharp arrows.
Such sharp eyes made Xu Xinghe, who grew up in Capital Star, feel a little uncomfortable.
He lowered his eyes almost subconsciously, avoiding the other party's sight.
Therefore, the sensitive and dull young man didn't notice that after the pair of heterochromatic pupils saw him, they calmly withdrew the sharpness in their eyes.
Marshal Ling said to the orderly: "Go down first."
The voice is cold, but sonorous and powerful.
Now only Ling Changfeng and Xu Xinghe were left in the room.
The two sat and stood, looking at each other without saying a word, and the scene suddenly turned cold.
Nothing like a newlyweds' wedding night.
After a long silence, it was Ling Changfeng who spoke first: "I originally planned to pick you up by myself today, but I have to deal with urgent matters, so I can't leave."
Xu Xinghe was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head to look at him.
"The matter has been dealt with now." Ling Changfeng closed the folder in his hand, raised his eyes and said, "Come here."
"Eh?" Xu Xinghe's body froze, his big black eyes blinked, and he stood at the door without moving.
Ling Changfeng's different pupils glanced at the folder Xu Xinghe was holding behind his back, and said calmly: "Isn't the document in your hand prepared for me? Show it to me."
"Oh." Xu Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked over.
Perhaps because he is used to giving orders all the year round, Marshal Ling's words have always been commanding.
But Xu Xinghe also understood.
To him, Ling Changfeng is still the high-ranking marshal of the alliance, and the two of them are just two strangers with different identities bound together by the mastermind.
Xu Xinghe stepped forward and spread out the documents prepared in advance in front of the other party across the large desk.
Ling Changfeng glanced at it, and asked blankly, "What is this?"
Xu Xinghe said: "As you can see, this is the "Divorce Agreement". I have already signed it. Once the marriage protection period is over, the initiative will be in your hands—when you want to divorce, sign it. Just do it."
Frankly speaking, Xu Xinghe had a bit of admiration for this hero of the alliance with great achievements in battle, so he even used honorifics.
Ling Changfeng was noncommittal when he heard the words, his slender fingers tapped on the table slowly, with a moody expression.
Xu Xinghe was stunned, and some kind of magical intuition told him that Marshal Ling didn't seem very happy now.
He hesitated for a moment, feeling that his chips were not enough, so he continued to add: "After the divorce, I don't need any compensation from you, and I won't do anything in your name to cause you trouble."
"What about the conditions?" Marshal Ling looked at the divorce agreement, his tone still cold.
Xu Xinghe bit his inner lip lightly: "If... I mean, if we have a child in the future, I hope to obtain joint custody of the child."
Ling Changfeng raised his head.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes swept over Xu Xinghe inch by inch.
Even though the opponent tried his best to appear calm and composed, Marshal Ling, who had experienced many battles, could still read his nervousness and uneasiness from his slightly trembling eyelashes and whitened fingers.
The different pupils circled around Xu Xinghe's body, and finally landed on the pale pink lips that the other party was biting lightly.
His eyes flickered.
The Omega in front of him just came of age two years ago and is still undergoing the transformation from a teenager to a young adult.
For Marshal Ling who had experienced many hardships, he was so young and immature.
Vulnerable as a human cub.
In this way, he obviously looks like a child.
And why would you make such a request
Ling Changfeng withdrew his almost sharp gaze, and asked in a flat tone, "Why?"
He knew that Xu Xinghe had also made this request to Mu Qingyun.
But he doesn't believe it's because of the reasons rumored on the Internet.
He still remembers the night when he first met, the seemingly quiet little guy in front of him was screaming like a little beast...
Why should he be obsessed with joint custody of the child
Facing Marshal Ling's question, Xu Xinghe was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled, and asked in an almost provocative tone: "As a child's father, it is really difficult to understand that he does not want to give up the custody of his own flesh and blood in the future?" ? Just because I am an ordinary person and you are a marshal, is this a luxury?"
Ling Changfeng's fingertips that were tapping on the table suddenly stopped.
He raised his head to look at Xu Xinghe, a trace of almost invisible astonishment flashed in his different pupils.
This time, the pair of black eyes on the opposite side did not dodge any more, and met his gaze directly.
The corner of Xu Xinghe's mouth curled into a self-deprecating arc: "But don't worry, I probably won't be able to conceive a child. Once you sign the divorce agreement a year later, you won't have any worries about it."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Ling Changfeng's reply, he ended the conversation on his own: "You must be tired after a busy day. You should rest earlier, and I won't bother you."
After all, he left the study without looking back.
Marshal Ling who was left alone: "..."
It's been a long time since anyone talked to me in this tone.
Before he could figure out how to respond, his little spouse ran away without a trace.
Looking at the direction Xu Xinghe left, an animal suddenly appeared in Ling Changfeng's mind——
little hedgehog.
That kind of little hedgehog whose shell is hard and prickly, but whose inside is soft enough to hold in the palm of your hand and touch its belly.
But now, this little hedgehog seems a little unhappy
Thinking of this, Ling Changfeng frowned slightly.
Why? He did not refuse his request.
After a moment of contemplation, Ling Changfeng reopened the blue document he was looking at just now.
These are the wedding precautions prepared by his adjutant, Major General Qin Yuan, who calls himself "Friend of Omega".
He hadn't had time to read the eight-page report on A4 paper because there were a lot of things to do today.
With a serious attitude like reading a combat report, Marshal Ling read through the precautions for newlyweds from beginning to end, trying to find a solution to the problem of "what to do if your spouse is unhappy".
Unfortunately not.
Only a handwritten note from Major General Qin Yuan was attached to the last page of the document—
[For your future marriage happiness, Xiaguan only recommends that you complete the following tasks on your wedding day as an old classmate and someone who has come here:
(1) Explain to your spouse why you did not pick him up, and emphasize that there is a reason for your absence, so as not to cause misunderstanding;
(2) Give the other party enough patience and company on the wedding night, and fulfill the obligations between husband and wife:) Believe me, this will definitely promote the relationship between you two to a large extent;
(3) Since you have missed the first important ceremony in your marriage, it is recommended that you provide a corresponding compensation plan in time to let the other party feel that he is valued. For example, give the other party some gifts as you like, and ask him to have a candlelight dinner together another day.
Remarks: I hope you can always realize that the other party is your legal spouse, and don't talk to him in the tone of talking to your subordinates.
Finally, I sincerely wish you a happy wedding!]
Ling Changfeng: "..." What a mess.
He closed the file with a snap.
After a few seconds, it opened again.
His eyes fell on the little note.
Could it be because his tone just now was too blunt
Since such questions involved Marshal Ling's knowledge blind spot, he had no choice but to choose to trust his adjutant first.
So I took out my pen and ticked off the first item of the tip.
Now that the explanation is done, next...
Ling Changfeng put away the divorce agreement on the table and stuffed it into the bottom drawer of the desk.
Then he got up and dusted the corner of his clothes, and walked towards Xu Xinghe's room.
