The special protection regulations for Type D were ultimately retained on a temporary basis.
In addition to the resistance from people on all sides, after careful discussion, everyone agreed that not all Type Ds are as perverted as Xu Qingran.
He is an exception.
Individual cases can be supervised more, but the personal safety of other weak D types cannot be ignored just because of him.
"I heard that Yinlong intends to promote Colonel Xu to the position of adjutant of the headquarters based on his achievements in eliminating XX type of demons and his contributions to the camp since he took office?" Shen Tingyu, who was sitting at the negotiation table, suddenly asked Mu Ziyu opposite him.
Mu Ziyu paused.
He did discuss this matter with Silver Dragon's top management for some time, so it was considered an open secret.
Only Xu Qingran, who had been resting recently, was unaware of this.
Hearing this, he looked at the person next to him, his eyebrows slightly raised, as if smiling.
When Mu Ziyu saw his smug expression, he felt both love and hate for this precious talent of Silver Dragon.
He could only clear his throat and answer Shen Tingyu seriously with a frown on his face: "Colonel Xu was originally an outstanding officer in my battalion. Now he has become the one who broke the deadlock in Kaian's long-term war with the devil. He has also successfully subdued the rebel army of Tianlong, recaptured Silver Star and the old Silver Dragon City, and gradually brought the forgotten Tianlong system back into the public eye."
"I think with his achievements, it would be reasonable for him to be promoted to one of the adjutants of the general battalion?"
Mu Ziyu thought Shen Tingyu wanted to refute, and almost gritted his teeth as he gave a reply full of praise to Xu Qingran.
After all, Xu Qingran is still a little younger than most senior veterans.
When this suggestion was first made, some people raised doubts. However, such doubts were overturned by most of the more rational people. After all, the positive results created by Xu Qingran were obvious to all, and he himself had the strength that was not inferior to the top E-type like Shen Tingyu, so it was reasonable for him to be the deputy commander of the general camp.
—What’s more, the adjutant is not the supreme commander. There are usually 3 to 4 people in the general camp to coordinate and supervise each other.
Even if Xu Qingran were to stand in that position, surrounded by his seniors, each one more dignified than the other, he still could not be so lawless and act as he pleases.
Mu Ziyu was still cautiously thinking about the intention of Shen Tingyu's question, and saw him nod in agreement: "Very reasonable."
"This way, Colonel Xu and I may inevitably have more contact in the future." Then he smiled and said, "If the royal family and the military have concerns about a special person like Colonel Xu, I can help keep an eye on them."
"I think, even if Colonel Xu goes crazy, he won't be able to beat me?"
Shen Tingyu said this quite casually.
With his gentle expression and slight smile, it seemed that he was just trying to resolve the embarrassment caused by Xu Qingran being targeted earlier. However, the representatives of Silver Dragon still seriously considered the feasibility of this matter. After all, they had no big opinion on Shen Tingyu himself, and he was indeed quite reliable.
Xu Qingran put on the Silver Dragon uniform and saw all beings as equal.
Facing Shen Tingyu's slightly superior attitude, he smiled contemptuously and said provocatively: "You can give it a try, General Shen."
—What is the official soul compatibility data of Shen Tingyu and Xu Qingran
Oh, 0.01%, right? It's extremely incompatible, so he definitely won't betray the public and do things for personal gain. Especially now that the empire is gradually entering a stage of reform, the high-ranking officials of the two camps can check and supervise each other, which can indeed achieve better pressure and improvement effects.
As a result, everyone particularly agrees with this model.
They even began to discuss quietly whether to simply implement it on a large scale in all important positions. This might reduce some of the bad behavior within the two camps, and also ensure that one of the parties would not form a clique for personal gain and make the same mistake again.
Only Muyesha, who saw the truth, remained silent.
Sometimes I really hate myself for being too smart and seeing through the essence of things in advance, but being forced to eat a mouthful of dog food.
Then he looked at those representatives who felt slightly relieved about Xu Qingran's promotion and chuckled.
I thought to myself - you guys just enjoy it quietly, you will regret it later, and it’s still unclear who will be the one to suppress whom.
Mu Ziyu was also worried.
But he was not worried because he saw through the relationship between Xu Qingran and Shen Tingyu, but because he was worried that the two people who had a very good relationship in private would unite to deal with him in the future? That was enough. He wanted to stabilize things as soon as possible. Whoever wanted to be the commander-in-chief could be the commander-in-chief!
The talks between the two camps ended successfully in this unexpectedly harmonious atmosphere.
—Anyway, for Xu Qingran, it was quite perfect.
The two groups of people were smiling and friendly at the negotiation table, but when the meeting ended and the camera was turned off, their smiles instantly stopped.
Everyone went their separate ways and left the scene. Only Mu Yesha and Mu Ziyu, the two siblings, as well as Xu Qingran and Shen Tingyu, stayed by the table and chatted.
Mu Yesha watched the guards send the media personnel away, and then looked at the first batch of tables and chairs that were temporarily piled in the corner and destroyed by Xu Qingran.
Then she clapped her hands and said to the colonel of the battalion headquarters, "Well done. The most correct thing my brother has done in these years is to design the Silver Dragon uniform that satisfies you. I used this to pull you in."
Mu Ziyu's face darkened: "Second sister, what do you mean?"
Mu Yesha: "I have already said it very tactfully, please don't force me to hurt your fragile heart."
Mu Ziyu: “…”
Xu Qingran was surprised: "I never knew that the Third Prince actually had such talent?"
Muyesha crossed her legs and swayed her feet playfully. "It's just a sudden burst of inspiration. After all, inspiration can't be stopped."
Mu Ziyu: “…”
Xu Qingran nodded: "I understand. Your Highness has done a good job in other aspects except for the governance of the camp."
Mu Ziyu: “…”
So after the talks, what follows is a session of personal criticism against him
He is really going to be angry!
—But, it’s just thought.
After all, he couldn't beat any of the other three people on the field. Although Muyesha was not good at fighting, his upbringing did not allow him to beat a woman, especially his sister.
Xu Qingran had no intention of staying for long: "Okay, my main work for today is over, it's time to go."
Before getting up and leaving, he remembered something and looked at the aggrieved Mu Ziyu: "Oh, by the way, about the promotion you mentioned..."
When mentioning this, Mu Ziyu felt the burning sensation on his cheeks as if they were swollen and swollen.
No matter how bad his attitude towards Xu Qingran was at the beginning and how harshly he scolded her, that’s how hard he got slapped in the face now.
He interrupted Xu Qingran angrily: "Don't be so proud!"
"This matter is still under discussion, and there is no conclusion yet." He raised his chin proudly, "There are still many voices of opposition. It's not easy to finalize your promotion!"
Although in fact, it has been basically confirmed.
Even Major General Lu Cheng from their headquarters had no objection to this and even strongly supported it.
But if this is the case, Mu Ziyu will definitely not tell Xu Qingran.
Xu Qingran didn't get angry, instead he smiled brightly as if he had breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great."
Mu Ziyu: “…?”
Xu Qingran: "I originally wanted to tell you that the slower the decision, the better. There's no rush for me to take up the post."
"I was so exhausted recently and busy for several months in a row. I wanted to ask you for some time off. Now that you said so, I will take it as you allowing me to take a short vacation during the waiting period. Thank you."
After saying that, she patted him on the shoulder in a friendly manner, greeted Muyesha, and walked out of the hall without looking back under his dazed and shocked expression.
As for Shen Tingyu, he has always been the type to leave as soon as his work is done.
Obviously, the main reason for staying here today was Xu Qingran. After his partner left, he naturally stood up, put on his hat, and followed her out.
Mu Yesha had been in a meeting for the entire afternoon, and her phone was already filled with messages.
She imitated Xu Qingran and patted her third brother: "I told you not to play tricks in front of Xu Qingran. You can't beat him."
Mu Ziyu: “…”
Outside the building, Xu Qingran and Shen Tingyu walked out of the building side by side.
He walked all the way to where his aircraft was parked, and Shen Tingyu followed him, thinking that he was going to see him off.
When they arrived, Xu Qingran asked him, "So, let's meet at the villa?"
Shen Tingyu said, "No, let's go back together."
"?" Xu Qingran was puzzled. "What about your aircraft? Don't you want it anymore?"
Shen Tingyu smiled lightly: "I didn't drive here by myself."
Xu Qingran was stunned.
In order to go home with him, Shen Tingyu actually took various taxis and transferred stations along the way to Tianshe, so that they only needed to drive the same aircraft back.
With this extra time spent together that Shen Tingyu had fought for, the two of them were not in a hurry to go home.
As one of the officers who had been busy for a long time, Shen Tingyu was not as busy as Xu Qingran now that the situation in the empire had eased. Although he could not get a long vacation like Xu Qingran, he could still take a break and relax. Especially now that he was the acting commander-in-chief, he only needed to give orders through his mobile phone and communicator for many matters. It was no longer like before when there was always someone pressing on him and calling him back and forth, leaving all matters, big and small, to him to do.
The two of them walked and stopped on the way back, and even stopped at the restaurant of Shen Tingyu's chef friend to have a meal, before returning home satisfied.
It was already around eight or nine in the evening when we arrived at Feixing's villa.
Xu Qingran pushed open the door and entered the house, and asked the man behind him, "When do you have to leave this time?"
There were two big dogs, one white and one black, waiting at the door when their aircraft drove into the warehouse.
Xu Qingran looked down at the two furry kids who were sticking close to him. He put his hands on each of them and stroked their fur frantically. The fur was soft and dense, and felt extremely comfortable.
I didn't have that feeling when I inexplicably picked up the white dog earlier.
Now that I am back from my busy life, there are people waiting and welcoming me. This kind of life seems pretty good.
"About two days later." Shen Tingyu replied, "We still need to go back to the headquarters to confirm their mission execution and arrangements."
Xu Qingran turned around, grabbed his collar, pulled him closer, and said meaningfully, "Not bad."
"Rest tonight, we still have a whole day to play tomorrow."
Playing with this word is very intriguing.
Shen Tingyu stared at his peach blossom eyes, which seemed to have affection in every eyelash, and thought that he had no intention of doing anything to him after returning from the long journey.
She lowered her head and kissed him lightly, then separated from him: "Go ahead, I'll go to the study to take care of some things first, and then go to bed after taking a shower."
"If you are tired, take a rest first."
Young couples now default to sleeping in the same room and on the same bed.
"Okay." Xu Qingran responded.
Maybe she was really tired, so she didn't tease him any more and went straight back to her room.
Before going upstairs, Shen Tingyu glanced at Xu Qingran's door again.
I still remember that when Xu Qingran came, Mrs. Song unexpectedly arranged for him to stay in the secondary master bedroom that was separated from his master bedroom. Although it didn't make much difference whether Xu Qingran's belongings were placed upstairs or downstairs, there was always a strange feeling that I hoped he could be closer to me.
He thought that maybe he should find some time in the next two days to tidy up the room again.
—This time, it is indeed welcoming another owner of the house.
Shen Tingyu returned to the study and was busy for nearly an hour.
By the time he had finished his basic tasks and emails, the sound of water in the bathroom downstairs had stopped for a long time. He walked through the passage connecting to the bedroom, turned off the light in the study and then turned on the light in the bedroom, then pressed the button to let the bookcase slowly close, separating the two rooms again.
Without the workspace, the atmosphere in the bedroom is less serious and tense.
The bedding on the bed was neatly made. The man downstairs who said he was tired and wanted to rest had not come up yet. I wonder if he was so sleepy that he accidentally fell asleep in his room.
Shen Tingyu glanced at the empty bed and pursed his lips slightly.
With a not very happy mood, I walked into his bathroom.
Once inside, another half an hour passed.
Only after I finished taking a shower and blow-dried my hair did I come out of the still slightly hot bathroom wearing a bathrobe.
As soon as he opened the door, Shen Tingyu stopped subconsciously.
The light in the bedroom seemed to have been turned off, and everything in front of me was dark.
After Shen Tingyu was reborn, the eye that was injured in his previous life was like a blind person in the dark, so he did not have the good habit of turning off the lights whenever he left the space.
In the huge bedroom, only a small area reached by light from the bathroom was still dimly lit.
Shen Tingyu was not nervous.
If there was an intruder in the room other than Xu Qingran, he would have discovered it immediately. Obviously, it was probably because his beloved partner came up and turned off the light without paying attention. It didn't matter, because both of his eyes were in good condition and he could still see the space in the room in the dark.
Even if he couldn't see it, he was already familiar with his room and it wouldn't have much impact on him.
After Shen Tingyu finished thinking this, he was about to clean up and take a rest, but suddenly a fragrance wafted into his nose.
It smells a lot like a scented candle.
At the same time, there seemed to be some movement in the darkness.
Soft, heavy breathing like someone suppressing something, mixed with low moans.
Shen Tingyu was worried at first that Xu Qingran was sleeping uneasily because of his previous injury, so he quickly walked to the wall and turned on the light.
The warm yellow light came on, he turned around and his eyes fell on the only big bed in the room.
The next second, he was shocked by the scene he saw.
Xu Qingran was there, on the dark mattress.
She was only wearing a loose long-sleeved shirt, and instead of lying down to rest, she knelt in front of him with her hands propped up in front of her in a very striking posture. When the light came on, he was slightly lowering his head, and his two legs were exposed to the air without any obstruction. His originally light skin color was even clearer against the dark bed quilt.
Xu Qingran noticed the movement and looked up subconsciously.
In those two passionate eyes, there was a layer of cold mist like the cold moon, which blurred the passionate color underneath.
Shen Tingyu looked at him in astonishment, and even noticed from the corner of his eyes that there were many kinds of... unspeakable props scattered around him. Looking at the floor again, the pajamas he had put on were thrown away by him, and there was a bottle of something that looked a bit like the legendary lubricant lying nearby.
The black-haired, blue-eyed man in a bathrobe, still smelling of a faint scent from the bath, fell silent.
And in this sudden silence, one seems to be able to hear faint, strange sounds.
Xu Qingran had the same cold expression as usual, but his face was flushed in an incongruous way.
Obviously, it is the external stimulation that causes the body to have fever and allergic reaction.
Shen Tingyu stared at him, his voice trembling a little when he spoke: "...Xu Qingran, what are you doing?"
What's worse is that he realized only now that Xu Qingran was wearing his shirt. And it was the shirt he wore every day, all of which were full of his spirit.
The line of sanity is shaking violently and seems to be on the verge of collapse.
Shen Tingyu's thoughts were dull and slow.
The person on the bed chuckled when he heard this.
He replied hoarsely: "Didn't I tell you before in Tianlong that I would apologize and compensate for not considering your feelings?"
He said as he propped himself up slightly on his legs.
He stretched out his fingers to hook a handcuff placed at his feet, and while looking at Shen Tingyu with a smile, he took the initiative to buckle it around one of his wrists.
The action was so nonchalant.
It is slow and leisurely, and it is precisely this kind of neither hurried nor slow that can bring more visual impact to people.
“I am now fulfilling my promise.”
The moment he finished speaking, the other end of the handcuffs clicked against his other hand, which he had put behind his back. Even with such a restricted or suppressed posture, his eyes and expression were still so proud.
Shen Tingyu was silent again.
I just felt like my whole soul was in shock. I couldn't understand how there could be someone in this world who could combine such pride and uninhibited softness together, making it so hard to extricate oneself.
Seeing Xu Qingran's face blushing unnaturally, he frowned, and his tone unconsciously carried worry: "You again..."
The tacit understanding between partners may be gradually improved through daily interactions.
Before he finished asking the question, Xu Qingran already understood what he meant.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Yes, I used something to enhance the fun."
"But it's legal and compliant."
"It has nothing to do with the previous potion."
Shen Tingyu stopped talking again.
The indulgent Xu Qingran was obviously enduring some pain, especially now that he had restricted himself and could not do anything.
"Shen Tingyu, only today will I allow you to bully me at will." He looked at him with angry and helpless eyes, "So, are you going to come up or not?"
Can Shen Tingyu refuse
No, he couldn't refuse at all. If he could still maintain his composure and rationality in this situation, it would be a disaster.
For a while.
The sound of breathing was not loud or unruly.
The voice was clear and deep, with the inherent softness of the body. It was slightly restrained, but because it could not completely suppress the feeling that made people's scalp tingle and their spirits explode, it was released subconsciously.
The thick and textured bathrobe that I had taken off had somehow spread to the edge of the bed and was about to fall apart.
One corner of the bathrobe happened to accidentally get caught on the foot with round fingertips, clean and well-maintained. In the constant alternation of relaxation and tension, it finally slipped off and fell heavily on the floor.
And that long-sleeved shirt.
It had already been ravaged and wrinkled.
The aura of mental power was constantly exchanged, and both sides were so crazy.
It was like a contest between strong men, no matter who was higher or lower, it was all so grand, arrogant and ostentatious.
Shen Tingyu bent his head and kissed the tears dripping from the corners of Xu Qingran's eyes, and looked into his eyes that seemed to be able to capture a person's soul, watching him and himself indulge in the worldly world together.
Until the hand on his back grabbed him hard.
He scratched himself leaving red marks as if in revenge, his eyes were slightly unfocused and difficult to focus due to fatigue and ascension, and he regained some clarity through rapid breathing.
Shen Tingyu then asked him in a deep voice: "When will we make our relationship public?"
The busyness of military personnel is probably the best protection for their relationship.
They had been dating for several years, and they hadn't tried to hide it, but few people knew they were dating. Even now that their permanent soul bond had been completed, they were still a pure uncle and niece in the eyes of the people of the empire.
Although the cancellation of the engagement was already a tacit understanding within the Shen family, General Shen said that he really wanted to show off to the whole world that Fengzi Xu was his exclusive partner.
Xu Qingran raised his eyes.
The chin is slightly raised, the white neck is stretched out in an arc that is inadvertently drawn beautifully.
"Then - when everyone discovers this secret, then we'll tell them."
He curled his eyes again: "I like this. Every time I meet you outside, hug and kiss you, it feels like the excitement of having an affair."
Shen Tingyu: “…”
He lowered his head and bit Xu Qingran's Adam's apple as if teaching him a lesson.
This made Xu Qingran shudder, and the tail of his words subconsciously became vague and fragmented.
His eyes were full of affection, and after a little struggle he said, "Untie me quickly when you're done, take a shower and go to bed."
Shen Tingyu hugged him and turned him over.
Qi Shen whispered in his ear: "Be good, we still have two days, there is no rush."
Xu Qingran: “?”
Don't be too pushy, you dog man.
The nights and holidays are still long.
In the living room, two furry wolfhounds were snuggling together on the soft and warm carpet, sleeping soundly.
·
Two days later, Shen Tingyu went back to work.
After unanimous discussion and decision by the Golden Wing management, he was recognized as the commander-in-chief of the Golden Wing Battalion. In the royal family, the government officials headed by Muyesha had no objection, and the people were also happy to see it, which could be regarded as a happy event for all to celebrate.
When Xu Qingran was slumped in the living room of his home, he happened to see his boyfriend being interviewed on TV again.
His dress style is still strict and neat, and he looks decent. You can't tell at all that he is a ruthless person when he takes off his clothes.
Every time Xu Qingran saw Shen Tingyu, he would sigh.
I feel lucky that he is the one who is the partner of this dog man, otherwise if it were someone else, he would have been killed by this scary E-type who is full of energy like a perpetual motion machine.
Shen Tingyu would come back about two or three days a week.
She would prepare meals for him every time she was at home, and the couple would eat together, watch TV and chat at home. They would also go out together to exercise or practice together to keep in shape.
Well, and playing adult games.
Shen Tingyu asked him to move his things to the room next to his master bedroom.
He folded his hands in front of his chest, leaned against the door, stared at him for a long time with a smile on his face, and was unwilling to cooperate with his self-contradictory request.
In the end, Shen Tingyu got angry.
He was locked in the room downstairs for a long time, until the sight of the room reminded him of the unspeakable shame in every corner. Finally, he agreed to cooperate with his request and moved all his belongings upstairs.
—Of course, the room he lived in was also locked by Shen Tingyu.
Apart from storing miscellaneous items, there is no plan to allow anyone else to move in.
The furnishings in the room upstairs were not much different from when I accidentally walked into it a few years ago.
When Xu Qingran was carrying the scattered things and putting them on the desk, he saw the ornament of two little wolves, one black and one white, swinging on the swing on the desk again. He subconsciously picked it up and looked at it carefully. As he looked at it, he suddenly laughed.
It turns out that everything has a traceable path.
Xu Qingran's vacation didn't last long.
Mu Ziyu probably couldn't bear to see him having too much free time.
It was agreed that he would be given a longer vacation, but this person sent him a notice to return to work two weeks later, asking him to return to work and help lead the team to deal with the remaining disaster-stricken areas.
Xu Qingran's leapfrog promotion went quite smoothly. When Silver Dragon officially announced it, he received far more applause and congratulations than doubts. At the same time, it also meant that he needed to return to the jurisdiction of the Silver Dragon Camp to carry out his work.
Shen Tingyu let the person go reluctantly.
When Xu Qingran left, his workload actually decreased a lot, and he could only find time to contact him.
I thought to myself - it would be strange if people could find out about this kind of love relationship.
That night, Shen Tingyu was sitting in his study, thinking about whether he should be more obvious and trigger more intense discussion and suspicion among the public.
There was a sudden knock on the door, and Shen Tianyi poked his head in from outside, saying cautiously, "Uncle, I have something to ask you."
Shen Tingyu put the light board in his hand on the table at any time, stretched out his hand and pointed to the empty seat on the other side of the desk: "Sit down."
The situation in the empire became stable again, the crisis of the devil army was gradually eliminated, and Shen Tianyi returned to his house as usual every week.
Shen Tianyi is now almost 10 years old.
He has grown a little taller, but not much. His face is still a little chubby and childish, with big eyes, handsome and cute.
He sat down obediently on the chair in front of Shen Tingyu, and said shyly: "Uncle, I came here today mainly because I remembered what you told me before, about that unmarried partner..."
Shen Tingyu leaned back in his chair, resting his elbows on the armrests, holding a pen in his hand and tapping lightly on the table.
Shen Tianyi was struggling with how to organize his words to continue speaking when he suddenly heard him ask, "Hmm? What fiancé?"
Looking at his expression again, he was calm and composed, his eyes were serious and puzzled, as if he had really forgotten about this matter.
Shen Tianyi scratched his head, feeling a little unsure: "Uh, it was before... you guys seemed to say that my soul compatibility with Brother Qingran was very high, and we had to arrange a marriage by force?"
I still remember Shen Tingyu once said that he was still young and asked him to keep an eye on the person for him first.
He felt that he had grown up and become more sensible now, and he couldn't continue to trouble his uncle, so he originally wanted to come up and discuss the plan with him and whether he needed to make any preparations in advance.
After all, I'm still a little confused.
But his classmates all said that as long as he liked Xu Qingran, there would be no problem. He must like Xu Qingran, a capable brother, very much!
As a result, Shen Tingyu was actually asking him back.
After hearing his reply, Shen Tingyu asked again: "Xu Qingran?"
"You misunderstood. She is not your fiancée, but your future aunt."
It was rare for Shen Tianyi to see his uncle smile so kindly.
He relaxed a little, but when he mentioned this familiar name, he frowned again and said, "Huh, I get angry when I talk about this!"
"I am no longer the silly kid I used to be. You and Brother Qingran, don't try to deceive me again!"
"Auntie is obviously a title only given to your wife, uncle!"
Shen Tingyu nodded: "Yes."
"Xu Qingran will be my 'wife' from now on, so is there any problem with you calling him aunt?"
Shen Tianyi: “?”
Huh? Didn't he say it belonged to his wife
Shen Tingyu smiled kindly: "You remembered it wrong."
"He's not here to be your partner, he's here to be mine."
This made Shen Tianyi start to lack confidence.
—How come he didn’t remember saying that before
Facing his nephew's questioning, Shen Tingyu remained calm and said confidently, "You remembered it wrong."
After saying that, he took out the data printed out by Xu Qingran as proof from the drawer.
Handed it to Shen Tianyi: "Look, your soul compatibility has not even reached the minimum number for marriage."
Shen Tianyi took it and took a look.
It was exactly as his uncle said.
Shen Tingyu said again: "If you don't believe it, go ask your grandfather."
That is the head of the Shen family.
Holding his head that was about to be burned, Shen Tianyi left the study, went downstairs and called the head of the Shen family.
Finally, he came back with a pout and sniffed, "It seems that I really misunderstood."
Facing his pitiful little nephew, Shen Tingyu felt no guilt at all.
Shen Tianyi was about to cry when he asked him, "If this happens, will I never be able to see Brother Qingran again?"
"I thought we would be able to stay together as a family only if we got married."
"If he doesn't marry me now, will we separate?"
Shen Tingyu asked him: "Are you still living with me now?"
Shen Tianyi nodded.
Shen Tingyu added: "After that, Xu Qingran will become your 'young aunt'. He will still live in the same house with us, and you can still see him."
Shen Tianyi was probably brainwashed by the words "Xu Qingran lives with you and your uncle because she wants to be your wife" when he was a child. Subconsciously, he had the illusion that Xu Qingran would leave if he didn't get married.
Until Shen Tingyu gave him some scientific knowledge.
Then he suddenly realized: "So even if I misunderstood, Brother Qingran will not leave us?"
Shen Tingyu smiled and said, "Of course not."
Shen Tianyi was happy for only three seconds, and then he started to curl his lips again: "Then why didn't I see him when I came back this time? Uncle, are you lying to me again?"
"He needs to go back to Yinlong to work for the time being, and he will be back when he is done." Shen Tingyu sighed, "I miss him too."
November.
Shen Tingyu’s birthday.
Xu Qingran, who had been busy at Yinlong for several days and could only get news and work progress from various news reports, seemed to have forgotten about this matter. He did not mention it in his daily chat with Shen Tingyu. The former asked him indirectly whether he would come back, but he only sent a screenshot of his recent itinerary and tasks.
Full.
Shen Tingyu wanted to call Mu Yesha directly to protest Mu Ziyu's workload arrangement for Xu Qingran. But thinking that all this was to pave the way for him to smoothly step into the position of commander-in-chief, he held back.
Until this afternoon, there were still about two days until his birthday.
His mobile phone system picked up the key words and proactively pushed him the latest news about Xu Qingran.
However, this time his name appeared not in the current affairs news, but in leisure and entertainment.
In the photo, Xu Qingran was surrounded by several pretty young girls, who looked like a bunch of flowers, and their eyes could not hide their admiration and joy. Looking at Xu Qingran's expression, he also had a rare gentle smile on his face, and he looked at them with his already passionate peach blossom eyes, and looked at everyone with special affection.
The background of the photo is not some serious military base or residential area.
It was a bustling commercial street. In front of the shop behind Xu Qingran, one could faintly see an icon of a lucky cat wearing a pink skirt.
Shen Tingyu: “…”
—Very good, she chats with the girls when she has time, and comes back to be with him when she doesn’t.
Commander Shen entered the resentful husband mode.
He even wanted to arrange work on his birthday and the days before and after, as he didn't really want to be alone in the house on such a day.
Shen Tingyu generally doesn't care about this kind of festive ritual.
Before he met Xu Qingran, he had never even celebrated birthdays. But now that he had a bond with her, he inexplicably wanted to spend these meaningful days with the people he cared about the most.
On the 10th, Xu Qingran didn't even have time to answer calls.
He called him once in the morning, but the person on the other end was in a hurry and just said "busy" before hanging up.
Shen Tingyu grabbed his communicator, incredulous.
Xu Qingran hasn't even been with him for seven years yet, but has the seven-year itch already begun
He thought so.
It wasn't until the evening that Shen Tingyu figured it out.
Since Xu Qingran was too busy to come see him, he would just go find him. He could also take the opportunity to see what his increasingly popular boyfriend was doing when he was not around.
Commander Shen had just tidied himself up and was ready to go out.
But when he opened the door, he almost bumped into someone who was about to come in.
Xu Qingran stood outside the door and quickly retracted his force, holding the box high in his hand, as if he was worried that the contents would be destroyed if they collided.
"…Xu Qingran?"
Shen Tingyu in the room saw the person outside the door and was so stunned that he seemed to be dreaming.
Xu Qingran paused, continued to hold the box, and said hesitantly: "Are you surprised or not?"
Shen Tingyu: "… It was quite a surprise and unexpected."
Xu Qingran was still wearing his uniform.
After noticing his move to go out, she immediately responded: "You don't want to go out to find me, do you?"
Shen Tingyu was silent.
Xu Qingran smiled and said, "Sure enough, I guessed it would be like this."
"So I came back early."
Shen Tingyu listened to his voice, and somewhere soft in his heart he felt as if he was suddenly kissed.
The haze that had been pressing down on them for days was instantly blown away.
Inside the house, the clock struck 0 o'clock.
Xu Qingran took the opportunity to pass the box of cake to Shen Tingyu: "Happy birthday, boyfriend."
The box is not from P.
There is a pink lucky cat printed on it, which looks particularly familiar.
The text below the icon reads:
—Want to make a cake for your special someone
Welcome to our teaching workshop, where even beginners can make delicious cakes!
Xu Qingran curved his eyes and smiled tenderly.
It was as bright and dazzling as if stars fell into my eyes.
He raised his hand, which had grown a little cold from the cold wind outside, and placed it against Shen Tingyu's cheek.
She whispered, "This is the first time I have the chance to celebrate your birthday. How could I forget?"
