Love at Second Sight [Interstellar]

Zhuang Yan heard the rumors of the war from the students.

In the cooperative course of guides and sentries, the instructor of the course said to him a little helplessly: "Mr. Zhuang, you can't always suppress your partner with mental power."

This is a fairly large indoor mecha training field, with more than a dozen mechas parked on the field, Zhuang Yan stood on the sidelines, listening to the instructor.

The instructor continued: "The cooperation between the sentinel and the guide must have a leader and a cooperation. Usually, the nature of the sentry will make them automatically substitute for the leader..."

Zhuang Yan said, "Even if they can't dominate me at all?"

The instructor choked. Zhuang Yan was undoubtedly a special case. His mental strength was so strong that when he practiced with other sentinel students, not only could he not become a weaker partner, but he would fight for the initiative in action.

Sentinels are somewhat domineering creatures by nature, and have a natural desire to dominate and protect their guides, but Zhuang Yan refuses their protection and instead suppresses and directs them. This will undoubtedly arouse these young men The resistance of the angry sentry.

So after a few times, Zhuang Yan was left alone in the training, and the sentry students were not willing to team up with this old, rigid and tough guide. Even though guides are rare, these sentries are also the best of their kind , naturally more proud.

Zhuang Yan said: "Can I complete the training alone?"

The instructor immediately said: "I'm afraid not. This textbook is to train the cooperation ability of sentries and guides."

Zhuang Yan said, "And it's still a compulsory course."

"Yes."

"If I'm not allowed to complete the training, I won't be able to graduate," Zhuang Yan said.

"Yes." The instructor said helplessly, "But it's not that we won't let you graduate, as long as you are not so strong."

Zhuang Yan took a deep breath and said, "I'll try."

At the end of the training session, Zhuang Yan felt very bad. Training with his partner Sentinel felt like a strong restraint. He had to suppress his abilities and not take the initiative with a Sentinel who was ten years younger than himself, even if he Think he's right.

The students packed their things and walked out of the training ground in twos and threes. Zhuang Yan was at the end, while Jixiang was waiting at the entrance. Seeing him coming out, he flew over to help him carry the training bag.

Zhuang Yan frowned when he heard the two students walking in front talking about words like "war" and "federation".

Two days later, Zhou Yuchen came to listen to Zhuang Yan's class. After dinner, the two walked and chatted on a secluded path.

Zhou Yuchen said, "Is your whistle open for the cooperation training class?"

Zhuang Yan asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

Zhou Yuchen coughed. Of course, it's hard to say that he asked his brother about it: "I also took this course when I was in college. I remember that it should start in the middle of the semester."

This is undoubtedly talking nonsense with open eyes. When he was 20 years old, he was already on the battlefield when others were in college.

Zhou Yuchen said: "How is it? Is it going well?"

He looked at Zhuang Yan, and actually didn't want his class to go too smoothly, because it meant that he cooperated well with a certain sentinel, they got along very well... Although Zhuang Yan seemed to be against the natural attraction between the sentinel and the guide However, Zhou Yuchen still did not want any rival in love to appear.

Speaking of this, Zhuang Yan's surprise turned into annoyance: "Fortunately, there are some troubles."

Zhou Yuchen raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? What's the trouble?"

Zhuang Yan frowned, and talked about all the troubles he encountered in the course, and finally said: "Whoever leads and who cooperates, doesn't it depend on everyone's ability? I don't think I have to take the initiative to cooperate with a sentinel. Give him the right."

He glanced at Zhou Yuchen: "Why must the guide obey the nature of the sentinel?"

"Because obedience itself is regarded as one of the nature of the guide." Zhou Yuchen said, "I think the more important reason is that those students are not mature enough."

Zhuang Yan said: "Will a mature sentinel tolerate it?"

"No, that shouldn't be called patience." Zhou Yuchen said, "Do you still remember my 'small world' you saw that night?"

Zhuang Yan was startled, and a hazy scene suddenly appeared in his mind, the blue and turbulent sea, holding his hand, the moist warmth sticking to the sand...

He was stunned for a moment, but Zhou Yuchen pulled his hand and said, "Shall we try it now?"

Zhuang Yan said, "What are you going to try?"

"Go try to cooperate."

Zhuang Yan felt that he was a little stupid, and Zhou Yuchen took him outside the school's mecha training ground like this: "What are you going to do? The training ground has long been closed."

Zhou Yuchen looked at the surrounding wall outside the training ground. The wall was mostly just for decoration, but the entrance was locked.Zhou Yuchen took a step back, charged up a bit, and climbed up the fence twice, as agile and swift as a leopard.

Zhuang Yan was dumbfounded, watching the dignified general of the empire climb over a wall here: "What are you doing?"

Zhou Yuchen leaned against the wall with one knee, and stretched out his hand to Zhuang Yan: "Come on, just turn over."

Zhuang Yan took a step back and refused, "No."

Zhou Yuchen said: "If we don't come up, someone will come, and we will be discovered by then."

The corner of Zhuang Yan's mouth twitched and said, "Then let them come over, anyway, I'm not the one who is ashamed."

Zhou Yuchen tilted his head and looked at him, raising his eyebrows. This action broke his usual mature and stern demeanor, and instead he had a different kind of handsomeness: "Do you think I won't confess you?"

Zhuang Yan: "..."

"Come up quickly, Mr. Zhuang." Zhou Yuchen said, "Otherwise we will lose face together. Think about it, the imperial general and the university professor were discovered by climbing over the wall..."

Zhuang Yan stood in a stalemate for two or three seconds. Seeing that Zhou Yuchen really had no intention of coming down, he gritted his teeth and stepped forward. Zhou Yuchen took his hand, pulled him hard, and brought him up to the wall.

The two climbed over the wall and walked a few tens of meters to the indoor training ground. When they reached the gate, the security system had already closed the entrance. Zhuang Yan mocked, "How do you get in here?" There was no wall to climb this time.

But seeing Zhou Yuchen raise his hand, the identity authentication device at the entrance swept across his terminal, and with a beep, the door slowly opened.

Zhuang Yan: "..."

"I was once invited here to guide students." Zhou Yuchen shook the terminal towards him, "I think the identity verification should still pass."

Zhuang Yan was completely speechless, followed Zhou Yuchen into the training ground, and the lighting system on the ground was activated, and the whole training ground was as bright as day.

Fifteen nine-meter-high training mechs stood side by side against the wall, quietly facing the two people in the field.

Zhou Yuchen walked over, opened the training system by the way, and activated a mecha.The leading red mecha then bent down slowly, like a gentleman, stretched out his palm in front of Zhou Yuchen, asking him to enter the cockpit.

Zhou Yuchen turned around in front of the mecha, and said to Zhuang Yan, "Come here." The voice resounded in the empty training ground.

Zhuang Yan stood more than ten meters away, staring blankly at the man with black hair and black eyes standing in front of the red mech. Jumping and jumping, shouting: "Come here, brother!"

Zhuang Yan walked over, Zhou Yuchen held his hand and stood in the palm of the mecha, the mechanical palm slowly raised, Zhou Yuchen said: "Now you are my guide."

"You are my guide!"

Zhuang Yan suddenly grabbed Zhou Yuchen's hand, and the latter twitched slightly, "What's the matter?" He slowly shook Zhuang Yan's hand, wrapping his dry and warm palm around the back of his hand, "Don't be nervous. Although I am also the first Enter the mecha with the guide for the first time."

Zhuang Yan came back to his senses: "You... haven't worked with a guide before?"

Zhou Yuchen stared at him and said, "No."

Entering the cockpit, the induction ring covered his hands and feet, the helmet was covered, and the induction element was attached to his temple. Zhuang Yan heard Zhou Yuchen say in the channel: "How is your synaesthesia?"

Synaesthesia refers to the sharing of five senses, thinking, and memory when the sentinel and the guide are fighting in the same mech. Usually, the degree of sharing depends on the degree of fit between the sentry directions, that is, the degree of matching. The combined sentinel and guide , not to mention, the efficiency of driving the mecha will be greatly improved.

Zhuang Yan realized that he was referring to himself and his training partner, and said, "It's not good. The instructor said that I was deliberately suppressing him, and he also resisted me."

Zhou Yuchen said, "Then let's try."

Then a mechanical female voice sounded: "Nerve connection countdown, ten, nine, eight, seven, six..."

When the countdown reached "one", Zhuang Yan closed his eyes and felt the tiny electric current emitted by the sensor, which made his brain dizzy and empty for a moment.

Afterwards, countless pictures rushed towards him, flashed almost before he could see them clearly, and the clearest impression deeply imprinted in his mind was still the surging blue sea.

At that moment, he understood what Zhou Yuchen meant.The most important thing for a sentinel to a guide is not the desire to protect, not the right to dominate, but trust.

Open the barrier of perception, the spiritual realm, dedicate one's heart, memory, and weaknesses to one person, and give the other party the right to hurt oneself, because one firmly believes that the other party will not hurt oneself.

"Try to take a step." Zhou Yuchen's voice sounded in his mind.

Zhuang Yan opened his eyes, and then opened them wide. For the first time, he saw the training ground from the perspective of a mech.

Zhou Yuchen sensed his emotions, and Zhuang Yan felt this way. Their thoughts were like waves back and forth, colliding gently, and retreating back and forth again.

The mecha is like a child learning to walk, trembling and cautiously taking the first step.

Then came the second step, the third step, the pace gradually stabilized, and then ran lightly, lingered in the training ground, and then lightly lifted into the air, made a few chic and beautiful movements, and landed deftly on the ground.If you let the group of students who are training here watch it, they will definitely open their eyes wide in surprise, seeing that this mecha makes a set of basic training movements as freely as a work of art.

Finally, the mech stopped in place, bent down again like a gentleman, and handed the palm to the open cockpit on the chest.

Zhou Yuchen jumped out, and then stretched out his hand to Zhuang Yan who had just untied the induction ring: "Are you okay?"

Zhuang Yan hadn't recovered from the experience just now, when he looked at him for the first time, he felt that his eyes were so deep that he wanted to suck people in, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and turned his head away: "...Well, it's okay. "
