Just by seeing Lu Jingning running over to him for dinner like nothing happened, Wen Xingchen knew that he had probably forgotten all about last night.
Wen Xingchen raised his eyebrows slightly, and put away the book in his hand: "It's just right for me to wake up. The officer said he wanted to call us for something, and said that we'll go over there together after you get up."
"Didn't you just return to the base? What is he looking for us at this time? Doesn't he have any other tasks?" Yesterday's hangover made Lu Jingning feel his whole head hurt. He frowned and rubbed his brows. A thought flashed across, "Oh, could it be that news of meritorious service has been heard so soon?"
"It's also possible." Wen Xingchen patted him on the head, took his hand and walked outside, "Don't you know when you go?"
There was no one else in Jiang Quan's office. He seemed to have been waiting for them. When he saw the two of them coming in, he closed the door behind him quietly and tightly.
Sensing the serious atmosphere inside, Lu Jingning glanced at Wen Xingchen suspiciously.
Why does this expression seem to be a bad thing? Could it be that he wanted to go wrong
Fortunately, Jiang Quan was not interested in whetting people's appetites, so he put an electronic document in front of them, and said straight to the point: "The military departments of the two countries attach great importance to this matter, and I went to see the person in charge of your empire yesterday. People. According to them, theoretically speaking, this performance should be regarded as a first-class merit, and it is indeed not too much to get the rank of colonel."
Lu Jingning was overjoyed at first, but then he realized that it must not be that simple, so he asked with a smile, "But?"
After Jiang Quan was exposed, the expression on his face was still calm, and he took his words slowly: "However, because this discovery is really important, in order to ensure that the Zerg attack in the future, we can follow the plan and find the energy stone. Things can’t be leaked to the outside world yet.”
Lu Jingning had an expression of "I knew it was like this" on his face: "Come on, this is going to take care of the credit we have made through life and death? Tsk, I know that these high-ranking officials in your military department have no good things, one by one If you want to come here with a dark heart, you will know how to squeeze us, the lower-level labor force."
Hearing what he said, Jiang Quan choked on his own saliva and couldn't help coughing.
Having led so many soldiers, at least those people on the surface are all talking about racial justice, and this is the first time he has seen such a shameless rush to ask for credit.
Wen Xingchen seemed to have expected it long ago, and handed over the tea that had been poured in advance in a timely manner.
It's just that at this time, the calmer and calmer you are, the more awkward you will feel.
Jiang Quan glanced at him with a complicated expression, and after taking a few gulps, he finally calmed down, and said: "Stinky boy, don't talk nonsense if you can't speak! The military department has always rewarded you for your merits. There will be no less meritorious service! It's just that it's not that time yet!"
The expression on Lu Jingning's face changed from contempt to disgust: "Is this what the military department is doing now, and there are still debts? What the hell am I..."
He wanted to say something at first, but felt the strong oppression in Jiang Quan's glaring gaze, and he changed his words in a timely manner: "I-I think this is very good! Look at the black and white words on this document. I have already made it clear that although we will not announce it until after the official war with the Zerg, but in fact Wen Xingchen and I already have the rightful title of colonel, that's what it means!"
"You can understand it this way if you like!" Jiang Quan gritted his teeth and explained as calmly as possible, "The corresponding authority in the military system has also been opened for you. All benefits are available to you unconditionally.”
When Lu Jingning heard this, his eyes completely rolled up, and he said sincerely, "Thank you, sir!"
However, Jiang Quan didn't even want to give him another look, and waved his hand angrily: "Hurry up!"
After coming out of the office, Lu Jingning jumped up and down as he walked, and almost flew into the air.
His ideal, his goal in life, seems to have finally been recognized as having the meaning of existence from this moment.
While walking, he pulled Wen Xingchen and couldn't help but shudder: "Brother Wen, how long have we only joined the army, and we are already colonels now!"
Wen Xingchen looked at him in high spirits, and added in a very timely manner: "He is still the youngest colonel in the two military departments."
Lu Jingning continued to swell: "No, it should be said that he is the only Omega colonel in the entire interstellar!"
Wen Xingchen laughed: "You are the best!"
Lu Jingning was a little flustered by his words, and then suddenly realized something was wrong, stopped and looked over suspiciously: "To be so flattering today, to be honest, do you have something to ask of me?"
Seeing that his thoughts were spinning so fast, Wen Xingchen didn't hide it, and with a frown raised his eyebrows, he was already on top of him, and he pushed him against the wall.
The eyes of the two are close to each other.
Wen Xingchen didn't have the slightest panic of being exposed, but looked at him with a slight smile, and said in a slow tone: "Wen Muqiao called me this morning and said that he and Uncle Lu were in a hurry, so I think I I should apply to you, when will you take a leave of absence, and we will go through the engagement beforehand?"
Surrounded by Alpha's aura, Lu Jingning couldn't help being dazed, and subconsciously followed his words and said, "Ah, this matter can be approved, it's easy to talk about."
Wen Xingchen touched his face lightly: "Then thank you Brother Lu in advance."
After getting the answer he wanted, he chuckled lightly, stood up like this, and left.
Lu Jingning stayed where he was for a while, his gaze fell on that figure for a long time before he realized it.
Fuck, didn't he just agree a little too casually? !
…
To Lu Jingning's surprise, Wen Xingchen's nonsense that Lu Kongbin was anxious to get him engaged was not fabricated.
That night, he received a communication from his father, who directly gave him a date to tell him to remember to go home early, otherwise he would not be planning to book the marriage.
Lu Jingning was silent for a long time about this 180-degree turn. After asking, he realized that it was the things that happened before that reached the ears of the parents on both sides.
This crisis made them suddenly realize that after the sons of the two families entered the coalition elite team, there were too many uncertainties in the mission process, and some things had to be done as soon as possible.
It's just that according to this progress, Lu Jingning is very suspicious whether the next step is to start urging his grandson.
The old man had already spoken, so he asked Jiang Quan for a vacation after all.
Probably because he knew what the two of them were doing when they went back this time, Jiang Quan didn't ask too much when he approved the leave, but just watched them raise his eyebrows: "Don't forget my invitation card."
"Of course you can't forget it!"
Lu Jingning responded with a pleasant smile, and let out a secret breath the moment he turned around.
Damn, if I didn't mention this, I guess it would have been missed!
The two went home separately, so naturally they couldn't go the same way.
When Wen Xingchen sent Lu Jingning to board the ship, he pulled him over and gave him a gentle hug, and his words passed by his ears: "The next time we meet, it will be at the engagement banquet."
Lu Jingning didn't feel anything at first, but after being teased by him like this, his ears could not help but feel hot.
Just about to say something, Wen Xingchen had already let go of him, and patted him on the head lightly: "Then see you later, my prospective fiance."
Lu Jingning was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "See you later!"
…
This time it sounded more like an engagement ceremony that Lao Lu had impulsively decided on, but it was actually well organized.
It was only when Lu Jingning returned home that even Lu Jiyuan and Lu Xuebai, two busy people who hadn't seen each other all year round, stayed at home.
The engagement agreement was drawn up by Lu Jiyuan himself.
The two wedding rings are said to be rare ores sent by Wen's family. They were specially customized by Lu Xuebai, and the latest scientific research technology was used. They are exquisite and unique.
Even the little robot Lulu happily wore two bright roses on top of her head, one left and one right wrapped with black satin. Twist.
Lu Kongbin was busy with Wen's family to finalize the details of the banquet scene, while Ye Ling repeatedly confirmed the number of relatives and friends who arrived that day.
In comparison, Lu Jingning, the real master, became the most idle one.
Bored and wandering from upstairs to downstairs, and from downstairs to upstairs again, he is the focus of attention wherever he goes on weekdays, but no one pays more attention to him, as if he is a moving human-shaped standing sign.
During the holographic video with Wen Xingchen that night, Lu Jingning gritted his teeth and complained about the indifference he received.
Wen Xingchen heard him finish, but there was a meaningful smile on his brows: "Do you know what state you are in now?"
Lu Jingning: "What state?"
Wen Xingchen glanced at him: "Unmarried Syndrome."
Lu Jingning: "..."
It's okay not to mention it, but with this mention, he recalled his overall state in the past few days, and unconsciously substituted for the bride who was about to leave the cabinet, and he really didn't feel any disobedience.
After a moment of silence, he said firmly, "It's just an engagement, so what does it have to do with being married? Could it be that you still want to save the wedding?"
Wen Xingchen smiled slightly: "Of course the wedding is going to be held. But since you're already engaged, do you think I'll let you run away again?"
Lu Jingning snorted and said, "Did you know that the engagement agreement was drawn up by my elder brother? Don't talk too much, and dare to sign it after reading it!"
Wen Xingchen couldn't help laughing when he saw his pretending to be calm.
Lu Jingning glared at him: "Why are you laughing, be serious!"
"Well, be serious." Wen Xingchen cleared his throat, and although the corners of his mouth were closed, there was still a smile that couldn't be hidden in his voice, "But Ah Ning, as long as I can keep you by my side forever, you Do you think there is any agreement that I dare not sign?"
It was obviously just a holographic image, but under the firm gaze of the other party, Lu Jingning suddenly couldn't hold back anymore.
Finally, with a blushing face, he squeezed out a sentence viciously: "Signing is a must! If you dare not to sign, I will break your legs on the day of engagement!"
Wen Xingchen thought about it thoughtfully, his brows and eyes slightly frowned: "I must not dare, I must sign."
