Love at Second Sight [Interstellar]

Steven said, "Is there anything wrong with that?"

Zhuang Yan said angrily: "He caused Helena to leave me, now you want me to give in to him and beg him?"

"Hey, are you talking too much?" Steven also stood up and said, "I just want you to talk to him, if you don't want to get married, why don't you cooperate and fight against the pressure of the elders together , Think about it, with a 90.00% compatibility, I guess the two marshals of the Zhou family already regard you as their prospective daughter-in-law."

The word "prospective daughter-in-law" stabbed Zhuang Yan hard, and he felt his forehead start to twitch: "How do you know that Zhou Yuchen is willing to cooperate with me? If he has such a good intention, how could he seduce Helena... "

"Are you sure he seduced Princess Helena?" Steven asked back, "Why did he seduce her? If he liked her, now you and Princess Helena have separated, and the news about you and him is flying all over the sky now. But I haven't heard that he has any ambiguity with Princess Helena."

Zhuang Yan said: "Perhaps he thinks it's a pleasure to alienate other people's feelings."

"Zhuang Yan." Steven looked at him with a trace of pity in his eyes, "You can't even fool yourself, can you?"

The room was silent for a while, Zhuang Yan and Steven looked at each other, in front of his friends, he finally stopped trying to be brave, and sat down on the sofa: "Everything is gone, Steven. Everything I planned, originally six In a month, it should be my wedding with Helena. But now, I don't know if she has thrown the engagement ring in the trash."

He looked at the pattern of the fabric sofa, and the lines on it happened to be tulips. He stroked it with his fingers, showing a rare wry smile.

Steven sat beside him, put his arm on his shoulder and said: "She is beautiful, but she is only beautiful. To be honest, she is not suitable for you, and she doesn't care about you. Those pictures you painted her Did you appreciate the letter you wrote to her, did she reply you?" He patted Zhuang Yan's shoulder vigorously, "You can live well without her, there is no grass anywhere in the world. "

"Where is there no grass at the end of the world?" Zhuang Yan mocked, "I'm about to lose my freedom of marriage."

"So it depends on what you do." Steven said, "It's not enough to sit and wait for death, and it's not enough to just resist."

Zhuang Yan looked at him, and Steven gave him a positive look.Zhuang Yan pursed his lips and frowned, looking away.

It happened to be the leisure time of official duties, Zhou Yuchen asked the orderly to pour a cup of tea, and casually opened a book by the workbench.

The officer knocked on the door and came in after getting permission. After saluting, he said, "Mr. Zhuang and his personal guards have been settled down according to the original arrangement."

Zhou Yuchen nodded and said, "Okay." The officer immediately withdrew.

"Your Excellency." The private secretary who came in with the officer said, "Would you like to invite Mr. Zhuang for lunch?"

Zhou Yuchen thought for a while and said, "No need."

The secretary also retreated, but soon walked in and said, "Your Excellency, Mr. Zhuang asked if I could have lunch with you."

Zhou Yuchen raised his head from the book and said, "Is it Zhuang Yan who asked or the people around him?"

The secretary said: "Mr. Zhuang personally asked."

Zhou Yuchen raised his eyebrows and said, "Then I'd be more than happy to reply to him."

Lunch time is 11:30. In the restaurant on the top floor of the spacecraft, the floor-to-ceiling windows of transparent materials are magnificent cosmic scenery.

When Zhuang Yan came, Zhou Yuchen had already taken his seat. Hearing the sound, he stood up and said, "Mr. Zhuang."

"Your Excellency, Admiral."

The two shook hands, and Zhuang Yan pulled out the chair and sat down.Zhou Yuchen said: "I hope Mr. Zhuang can get used to the food on the spaceship."

Except for the exchange meeting, the two haven't seen each other for several months. When Zhuang Yan was drunk in the "Tower", he mistook Zhou Yuchen for Kevin, so naturally he didn't have much impression of him. His face was not very good when he thought about it, although what Zhou Yuchen said was just a customary courtesy, he didn't want to answer his words.

Zhou Yuchen didn't care too much, and leaned back in his chair, watching Zhuang Yan take the menu from the waiter and order two dishes at random.The waiter retreated, and Zhou Yuchen said, "I think Mr. Zhuang didn't come to have lunch with me to chat with me and improve our relationship. If you have anything to say, just talk about it."

Zhuang Yan didn't speak for a while, he took a breath, suppressed those turbulent emotions, followed Steven's advice, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "The day I woke up... I said something that offended Your Excellency , I hope the general will not take it to heart."

He took the initiative to apologize when he came up, which surprised Zhou Yuchen: "Oh, it's nothing. It is said that the guide who is approaching the awakening period will become very poor in mental state and easily lose control of his emotions. I think Mr. Zhuang's words are unintentional."

That's a heartfelt statement.Zhuang Yan thought in his heart, and then said, "It would be great if the general doesn't care about that matter. What does the general think about me and you... our match?"

Suddenly, Zhou Yuchen understood why he came: "Mr. Zhuang has something to say, but it doesn't matter."

Zhuang Yan said: "The match is completely accidental." The corner of his mouth ticked mockingly, "It should be said to be a joke, but now the outside world takes it seriously. Even the elders on both sides of you are considering marriage The thing is coming."

Zhou Yuchen nodded and said, "It's always a headache for elders to interfere in marriage."

Zhuang Yan frowned and said, "I think the general also knows that the so-called marriage is simply impossible..."

Zhou Yuchen clearly guessed his plan in his heart, but asked deliberately: "Isn't it completely impossible?"

Zhuang Yan almost stood up: "Admiral, what does this mean?"

Zhou Yuchen said: "It's not interesting, but isn't it common for people like us to get married?"

Zhuang Yan was a little annoyed and said, "If it weren't for the matching result, how could they have moved on to the idea of ​​marriage, but since you can't accept the guide, Admiral Zhou, this marriage is meaningless..."

Zhou Yuchen said: "It seems that Mr. Zhuang has inquired a lot about me."

Zhuang Yan said: "Since you have publicly stated that you will not accept any guides, it is entirely up to the two of us to come forward and tell the outside world that this marriage is impossible, isn't it everyone's happy?"

His tone was urgent, and Zhou Yuchen said, "Mr. Zhuang, you should know that it is not such a simple matter to settle this matter."

He and Zhuang Yan looked at each other, and the latter pursed his lips tightly. Zhou Yuchen said, "You are so anxious because of Princess Helena? But it is said that your engagement has been broken."

It's good that he didn't mention Helena, but when he mentioned Helena, Zhuang Yan felt angry in his heart, and said coldly, "This is my private matter, so there is no need for the general to worry about me."

After a moment of silence between the two, Zhuang Yan looked out of the floor-to-ceiling windows. In the dark and vast interstellar space, a star far away was emitting a gentle light, surrounded by dust and gas, like a white veil worn by a bride.

Zhou Yuchen watched him until the waiter brought the dishes, neither of them spoke, and finished their lunch in silence.After lunch, Zhuang Yan got up and left without even saying hello.

After this lunch, Zhuang Yan never had any contact with Zhou Yuchen during the three days of the spaceship's voyage.When Steven persuaded him to try again, Zhuang Yan couldn't help but get angry and said, "I've already made it clear, do what you want me to say! What do you want from me? Kneel down and beg him!" Steven had no choice but to give up. .

Three days later, the spacecraft arrived at the port of Qatar.

Zhuang Yan came out of the passage, and his uncle's family who went to Qatar first sent his cousin Zhuang Han to pick him up.

Zhuang Han's personality is very different from Zhuang Yan's. He is not a sentinel or a guide. He has a smooth personality. After serving in the military, he became a modest official in the imperial capital.Waiting outside the VIP passage, when he saw Zhuang Yan, he walked over with a smile and gave him a warm hug: "My good cousin, long time no see!"

Zhuang Yan has always been insensitive to his enthusiasm, but he was a military officer, and he was much stronger than Zhuang Yan. He pulled Zhuang Yan's arm and patted him on the shoulder vigorously. Before Zhuang Yan could push him away, he wanted to As if discovering a new continent: "Hey, look who this is, General Zhou Yuchen, I have long admired you."

He directly passed Zhuang Yan, stretched out his arm, and shook hands with Zhou Yuchen who walked out of the passage behind Zhuang Yan: "My family, Ayan, has been taken care of by the general all the way, I am very grateful."

Zhou Yuchen shook hands with him and said, "Don't dare, it's just a little effort."

He looked at Zhuang Yan's cousin. They were cousins, and they looked alike, especially their eyes, which were also clean and blue.

Zhuang Han is good at communicating with people, the corners of his eyes and brows show a little romantic, his eyes are smiling, like swaying water waves, unlike Zhuang Yan, who always frowns, with a cold expression, his eyes are like a layer of frost on the blue.

Zhuang Han smiled and said, "The general and Ayan are destined. How about having lunch with me today? Ayan—" He turned around and found that Zhuang Yan had disappeared, "Uh..."

Zhou Yuchen said: "Your Majesty Zhuang is very polite, but Mr. Zhuang is probably also tired from the exhausting journey. Let's go back and rest."

He relieved Zhuang Han with one sentence, and Zhuang Han hurriedly said: "That's right. Ah Yan is really, no matter how familiar he is with the general, he can't just leave without saying hello." After a few polite words with Zhou Yuchen, he said haha Followed out.

He walked with Steven and asked, "How are the two of them on the boat?"

Steven said: "I had a meal, it was not very pleasant, and then it was gone."

"It's so tense?" Zhuang Han said, "The news has spread all over the imperial capital. I'm drinking a glass of wine outside, and no one doesn't ask me."

The two of them got on the suspension car while talking, Zhuang Yan was already sitting inside and waiting, seeing Zhuang Han getting on the car, he said, "The imperial capital is still the same as before."

He took the initiative to say this, but he didn't want Zhuang Han to ask him about Zhou Yuchen. Zhuang Han naturally understood, and said, "It hasn't changed. You can stay longer this time, and go back to school to have a look." He and Zhuang Yan Both graduated from the Imperial Military Academy.
