The major general's trumpet is my white moonlight [Interstellar]

Almost all the people who participated in the mecha exhibition came together, only Ye Lan was alone.

Originally, Ye Lan was not someone who cared about such things. After all, for a long time in the past, he was used to doing everything by himself.

For example, when I was a child, I was the only one who had to enter and leave the military tower frequently. In my youth, in order to cover up pheromones, I kept a careful distance from most of my peers. After joining the army, he commanded battles alone for a long time.Even if that person used to be his partner, there was never a real feeling of fighting side by side with him.He stood behind him, separated from him by a lot of worries, and opened an insurmountable distance like a chasm.

Ye Lan didn't realize that during Duan Jing's absence, he actually looked at the communication terminal three times, as if confirming a certain sentence that frequently flashed in his heart: the important thing is not the exhibition, but the people who watch the exhibition with you.

"Student Ling Chuan, are you here too?"

The voice sounded familiar, and Ye Lan came back to her senses, only to realize that she had already walked around the field for a long time like a horse watching flowers. What were the names of those new mechs just now, what new technology did they use... all failed. Remember.

"I..." Ye Lan was wondering why Tang Xi appeared here, and met the eyes of the person behind him over his shoulder.

Ye Lan frowned, her expression turned cold all of a sudden.

Song Cheng was wearing a military uniform jacket, half of his face was hidden in the darkness, even though his face was expressionless, he revealed a sense of cruelty.He naturally stretched out a hand to Ye Lan, and smiled lightly: "We met twice."

Ye Lan lowered her eyes, her gaze fell on that pale and strong hand, and it took a long time before she reached out to shake hands with him.

The moment her fingertips touched, a feeling like an electric shock spread all over her body. Ye Lan let go of her hand and stepped back, making Song Cheng's hand stop in midair.

"What's wrong?" Song Cheng didn't care about his rudeness, and slowly withdrew his hand.

"Sorry, I'm a little uncomfortable." Ye Lan rubbed her temples, forced a smile, and didn't want Song Cheng to see her abnormality.

"Are you uncomfortable?" Tang Xi stepped forward to support him worriedly, "Did you come alone? Do you want me..."

"No need," Ye Lan quickly glanced at Song Cheng, "I'm with Major General Duan, he has something to do temporarily."

"Oh, Major General Duan..." Tang Xi dragged out the ending meaningfully, "Then, I won't bother you."

"By the way." Thinking of something, Tang Xi pointed to the open space in the distance, "Senior Lu Chen and Senior Dill are over there, and Senior Lu Chen said you couldn't come because of something. I didn't expect you to end up with Major General Duan Let's join together."

"...Understood." Ye Lan showed a fake official smile, but her mood became extremely complicated.Is he overthinking?I always feel that this Tang Xi cares about him a little... superfluous?How did he know that he had friendship with Lu Chen and Dill?

Sure enough, Lu Chen and Dill were at the place Tang Xi mentioned.

Seeing Ye Lan appear at the exhibition, Lu Chen was surprised: "What a coincidence, you are here too?"

"What a coincidence." Ye Lan smiled.

"Are you alone?" Lu Chen couldn't help feeling strange seeing that he had no company by his side.

"With...Major General Duan," Ye Lan inexplicably felt her cheeks warm up, as if someone had discovered some secret, and added deliberately, "just in time."

"Hehe, then I won't invite you together. But at [-]:[-] p.m. in the indoor venue, there will be an introduction to mechs and technical explanations. Don't miss this one. I am one of the directors of this exhibition, and I will also be in charge of it." Part of the explanation of the new mecha." Lu Chen sighed, patted Dill on the shoulder, and hinted at it.Brother, I have really worked hard to help you, you have to seize the opportunity yourself.

When passing a certain field, Ye Lan noticed a huge black shadow.It was a decommissioned warship. Compared with the standard warships of the five major corps of the Federation, it was much smaller and belonged to the agile warship. It was located at the edge of the entire venue, and the surrounding area was deserted.At the exhibition of new mechs, the most attractive thing is always the newly developed military weapons. Decommissioned warships like this are often the least noticed.

The life of the battleship is scrolled on the electronic screen next to the gangway: Yuanhang, born in 3002, served in the Yuanhang fleet, has been retired...

There was no one at the stern of the battleship, it was very deserted, Ye Lan was the only one in the huge space.The wind that brushed against his cheeks was as cold as a knife, carrying bursts of bone-piercing chill.

There was an unread message on the communication terminal, probably Duan Jing was looking for him, Ye Lan was about to reply a message, but her wrist was lightly pressed.

The coolness between the touches ran through the whole body along the blood vessels, making Ye Lan shiver involuntarily.

Although she didn't turn around, Ye Lan vaguely realized who was standing behind her at this moment.

"Isn't it cold?" There was a voice behind him. The closeness of the body brought a faint temperature, mixed with the strong aroma of tobacco. It was a familiar smell that he had felt in the past many years. It was dangerous, deadly, and unkind.

Ye Lan turned her head and saw that man who was always serious and cold.There is always an invisible barrier between them, no matter how close the distance is, he can still feel the coldness in his bones.

Looking at each other, everything was gradually overlapping with the past, and a scene of familiar images flashed through his mind, and he suddenly felt that the way Song Cheng looked at him at this time was exactly the same as it was back then.

But behind him, there is a bottomless darkness, hiding a suffocating black tide. Under the tide, the undercurrent is surging, and the crisis is ready to go.

Ye Lan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she whispered, "Colonel Song."

"I didn't expect that there would be someone here." Song Cheng stared at him with those cold eyes, the pupils were deeper than Han Ye, his tone was flat, without the slightest emotion.

"I'll walk around as I please." Ye Lan regretted it as soon as she said it, but chose to remain silent because she was afraid of covering up.No matter what he said, in front of this person, he felt every nerve in him tense up.

The night is as thick as splashed ink, casting a mysterious color on everything, but the lights on the battleship are gentle and innocent.The interlaced light and shadow brutally split the outline of the person in front of him, Ye Lan couldn't see his face clearly, and couldn't even tell whether the person in front of him was a loyal comrade-in-arms or a ferocious ghost.

"Yuanhang has been decommissioned for several years, and the Yuanhang fleet has long existed in name only." Song Cheng seemed to have something to say, "It's all over."

"Hmm." Ye Lan didn't know what to say, he didn't even know how to face Song Cheng at this moment.Ask him why he betrayed himself?Ask him if he has feelings for him?

He had imagined many times what he would want to ask Song Cheng when he faced him alone, but at this moment, he found that he was not obsessed with the answer Song Cheng would give, he would find out the truth by himself, and he wanted to give himself To reverse the case, let the dead adoptive father and younger brother, as well as the comrades who died in the long-distance fleet rest in peace.

"Do you know what was the last mission of the Yuanhang Ship after the death of the captain of the Yuanhang Fleet?" Song Cheng spoke slowly, never leaving his eyes for a moment, as if he could understand every expression on his face.

"What is it?" Ye Lan faintly realized what Song Cheng wanted to tell him.

"It's escorting a starship to Exel." Song Cheng's voice was still cold, but when he said these words, he revealed deep fatigue.

Ye Lan's eyes changed instantly, and her fingers clenched tightly.After his death... the starship to Exel...

"Yes—" Almost instinctively, when he was about to ask whether it was the starship Ye Li was on, Ye Lan suddenly realized the trap, calmed down quickly, restrained his emotions, and calmed down as much as possible. asked, "What happened next?"

Song Cheng hooked the corners of his lips, and there was an unclear emotion in his eyes: "Later, something happened to that starship, and Yuanhang was almost defeated."

"I heard that all the starships going to Exel are felons, why would you let a battleship be the escort?" Ye Lan tried her best to accept his words according to ordinary people's thinking.

"Because there are important prisoners inside." Song Cheng only finished speaking halfway, staring at him directly, and stopped continuing.

"It's bait?" Ye Lan was stunned, blurted out a guess, and only looked at Song Cheng for a second before instinctively avoiding his sharp gaze, which was like a cold dagger that had not yet confronted it. Fear arises spontaneously.

"What do you think?" Song Cheng didn't answer, but asked him softly, with complex emotions in his eyes that he couldn't understand.

"I can't guess." Ye Lan lowered her head slightly, using the night to cover up her momentary embarrassment.

"Want to know?" Song Cheng walked towards him, walking slowly, as if he wanted to force Ye Lan back.

When he stopped in front of Ye Lan, Ye Lan's fingertips had already sunk into her palm due to force, her chest was pressed down by a heavy boulder, and it was difficult for her to even breathe.But Ye Lan didn't retreat, she stubbornly raised her head and looked at him, silently resisting the darkness.

Looking at each other, a cold smile gradually appeared on Song Cheng's face: "Why do you look at me like this? Are you afraid of me?"

"I didn't, you misunderstood," Ye Lan said coldly, looking around, "Didn't Tang Xi come up with you?"

"He's waiting for me below." Song Cheng returned to his icy look, as if rejecting everyone thousands of miles away.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go first." Ye Lan clenched the communication terminal in her hand, "My companion is looking for me."

Before Song Cheng could answer, Ye Lan withdrew from this ambiguous distance, followed the familiar path to find the gangway, and left the deck of Yuanhang.

On the communication terminal, it was indeed a message from Duan Jing. There were two messages before and after, one asking about his specific location, and the other saying that he was near the exhibition site of the new mecha "Ni Lin".

He thought for a while, and sent a message back to Duan Jing: Wait for me where I am, I'll come to you.

This mecha named "Ni Lin" is still a semi-finished product, with only a conceptual skeleton, which was put on display indoors. Ye Lan followed the number of the venue to search for it one by one, but did not see Duan Jing, and was about to ask him again in doubt. At the specific location, I felt an irresistible force coming from my arm, Ye Lan was unsteady, and the whole person was unexpectedly dragged into the unfamiliar mech cabin without any defense.

There was an intimate contact between the body and the seat in the cockpit, but the subconscious reaction in Ye Lan's mind was: Is it him?

As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, Ye Lan realized that she had committed a big taboo.His first reaction was not to lock the target and subdue him quickly, but to wonder if it was Duan Jing?He just left Song Cheng's side, did he lose his sense of crisis?If it was in a dangerous battlefield, his hesitation might have killed him ten thousand times.

Ye Lan immediately raised his vigilance. After all, he had experienced hundreds of battles, and his adaptability was beyond the reach of ordinary people. However, before he kicked over, he could see the people in the cabin clearly through the scattered light and shadow.

"You..." Ye Lan withdrew her legs in a complicated mood, and looked at the perpetrator of the prank with a gloomy expression, but she obviously felt a lot more relaxed.

Duan Jing's eyes fell on Ye Lan's smart bracelet, and the smile in her eyes deepened: "When I was about to find you, I saw your message."

Feeling a little uncomfortable being watched by Duan Jing, Ye Lan turned her face away awkwardly, put her other hand into her pocket, and fumbled for the key: "...forgot to take it off."

He obviously got the key of the smart bracelet, but he didn't unlock it, he still wore it with him, and he forgot to turn off the positioning function... What would Duan Jing think?

"Don't rush to take it off," Duan Jing pressed his hand in time, bit his ear and said, "At least if there is danger, I can know where you are. Anyway, if you don't want to open it, you can turn it off at any time."

The numbness coming from her ear made Ye Lan's body tremble, and her groping for the key gradually stopped.

Duan Jing was half pressed on him, facing him condescendingly, but she got very close to him, her fiery breath sprayed on the side of his face, as if she was ready to kiss him at any time.

Ye Lan only felt that the distance made him a little out of breath, and he didn't notice that Duan Jing's eyes fell on his coat. He sniffed lightly, and his eyes changed slightly.

In the huge space, the heartbeat was magnified countless times, Ye Lan suddenly became nervous, and the moment Duan Jing's lips brushed against his auricle inadvertently, she closed her eyes like a ghost.
