Love at Second Sight [Interstellar]

Zhou Yuchen's hug was a little tight, Zhuang Yan's arms hurt a little from the hoop, and Zhou Yuchen's cold epaulets also scratched his chin.After the initial surprise passed, he felt a bit embarrassed when he saw the two soldiers guarding the entrance of the cave holding lighting facilities.

Zhou Yuchen still asked in his ear: "What did you promise me?"

He barely placed his hand on Zhou Yuchen's back, and said, "Let go of me first, Zhou Shang..."

"You tell me what you promised me first."

"...Take care of myself." Zhuang Yan was still trying to argue, "Aren't I fine now?"

Zhou Yuchen let him go slightly, looked at him, stretched out his hand to caress the corners of his eyes, and the scars on his forehead when he fell to the ground. Zhuang Yan subconsciously avoided his overly intimate gestures. Zhou Yuchen said, "Don't worry about it." , this kind of place is called 'good'?"

"..." Faced with his aggressive questioning, Zhuang Yan was also a little displeased, "This was caused by an accident, and it cannot be avoided. I said I can guarantee my own safety, so I can..." However, Zhou Yuchen's serious expression With his eyes, he saw the hidden anger inside, and he felt that he would be beaten if he continued speaking.

Zhou Yuchen didn't argue with him any longer, let go of him, and instead held his hand tightly. The two walked out of the cave and returned to the cave entrance along the cold stone tunnel.

Zhuang Yan saw that orderlies, Josh and others were still guarding the entrance of the cave. Zhuang Yan had two scars on his face, and he rolled in the cave with a disgraced face, so he walked out holding hands with Zhou Yuchen in full view.

When Josh saw Zhuang Yan, he breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help being amused by the scene, and said, "You're going to scare us to death, Mr. Zhuang."

Zhuang Yan suppressed the embarrassment, looked at him, then at the others and said, "Are you all back?"

"The army is back." Josh laughed, "The alarm has been lifted and the lair has been found..."

Zhuang Yan was about to slow down and listen to him, but Zhou Yuchen who was walking in front pulled him and almost staggered. Zhou Yuchen said, "If you have anything to say, you can talk about it later."

Josh stopped immediately, stuck out his tongue at Zhuang Yan, and gave him a "be careful" look.

Zhuang Yan was dragged all the way back to the camp by Zhou Yuchen, with guards behind him. He felt like a child who did something wrong and was taken home by his parents... What kind of metaphor is this, it's really embarrassing!

But Zhou Yuchen remained silent, and the atmosphere was very stiff. Zhuang Yan instinctively couldn't touch his bad luck at this time, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing for everyone to see him.

Zhuang Yan was pulled into the tent and sat on the camp bed. Zhou Yuchen said the first sentence to the orderly: "Go get hot water towels."

As he spoke, he sat on the saddle beside the bed, and finally took a look at Zhuang Yan.

Zhuang Yan was a little guilty by his look, but felt dissatisfied, so he sarcastically said: "Are you going to interrogate me, Admiral Zhou?"

It’s okay if he didn’t say anything, but when he said it, Zhou Yuchen’s anger was directly in his eyes: “Haven’t you realized what you did? Zhuang Yan, it’s useless for you to emphasize that you are an adult. I think you might as well Three-year-old child!"

Zhuang Yan didn't understand why Zhou Yuchen's reaction was so strong that he had just walked in the cave once, not to mention that he still had a lot of mysteries in his heart, why his quantum beast would lead him to meet strange beasts, and why there were strange things in the cave. Beast, what is the light spot from the body of the alien beast that Quantum Beast absorbed, the familiar form he saw before he fell into a coma, what is the relationship between the alien beast in the cave and the alien beast that attacked them outside... He couldn't speak to anyone until he had cleared his mind.

Zhuang Yan felt a dull pain in his head. This feeling is very familiar. It is a symptom of mental exhaustion. He sat on the camp bed and wanted to just fall down and sleep, but he still said: "I did it!" What? I just went into that cave to have a look..."

"Do you know that there are strange beasts in that cave!" Zhou Yuchen suddenly shouted angrily.

Zhuang Yan froze for a moment, and looked at Zhou Yuchen in astonishment, firstly because it was Zhou Yuchen's rare expression of emotion, and secondly because of Zhou Yuchen's words.

He stared blankly at Zhou Yuchen, his face was pale, his eyes were still bloodshot, and with the scars on the corners of his eyes and forehead, he looked embarrassed and at a loss.

Zhou Yuchen calmed down his anger. At this time, the orderly came in with hot water and towels. Zhou Yuchen stretched out his hand to support Zhuang Yan's shoulder, and said coldly, "Lie down."

Zhuang Yan subconsciously lay down, glanced at Zhou Yuchen, finally realized something, pursed his dry lips, and said, "I'm sorry."

Zhou Yuchen soaked a towel in hot water, leaned over to see his appearance, and heard him speak again, the anger gathered into a ball dissipated again, wiped his face with the towel, and said in a deep voice: "Do you know what you did? How scary is this kind of thing, do you never consider other people's feelings?"

Although he said so, he wiped Zhuang Yan very lightly, so as not to hurt his wound.

Zhuang Yan felt like a child being reprimanded by his parents, but he couldn't even refute, because he felt Zhou Yuchen's genuine concern.

He said, "Sorry."

Zhou Yuchen couldn't lose his temper anymore. After wiping Zhuang Yan's face, he threw the towel into the basin and said, "The detection said there was a strange beast in the cave, did you encounter it?"

Zhuang Yan paused and said, "No." Reflexively, he thought that he couldn't easily tell the experience before coma, so he made up an explanation: "...I just walked around in the cave, and nothing happened. I encountered it, and then it was probably... I was attacked by some animal, and I passed out."

Zhou Yuchen said absent-mindedly: "Then it should be a detection error." He couldn't tell Zhuang Yan, he was still afraid.When he returned to the camp and learned that Zhuang Yan was missing, and the cave where he might have entered was detected with traces of alien beasts, Zhuang Yan's cold corpse flashed before his eyes, not even a corpse, an alien beast Could swallow him whole in one gulp...

Zhuang Yan said: "What about you? All the beasts have been cleaned up?"

Zhou Yuchen said: "I led the troops to chase halfway, and I felt something was wrong, so I quickly cleared the nest and rushed back. Fortunately, it was not too late."

Zhuang Yan nodded and said, "That's good."

There was silence between the two for a while, Zhuang Yan raised his eyes to look at Zhou Yuchen from time to time, Zhou Yuchen took a deep breath, glanced at him, stretched out his hand to cover his eyes and said, "It's completely safe now, you can rest, we will meet you tomorrow morning Depart for Westminster."

Zhuang Yan blinked, and Zhou Yuchen felt his eyelashes slapped against his palm, and raised his eyebrows. He wanted to bend down and hug him tightly, and kiss him, but at this moment, being able to cover his eyes like this Looking at him, feeling his blinking, seemed to be something to be thankful for.

Zhou Yuchen was silent for a moment, and finally sighed softly: "Still sleeping?"

Zhuang Yan was silent for a moment and said, "Do you want to scold me? You can scold me if you want to."

Zhou Yuchen's previous anger was all gone, but when he heard his words, he couldn't help crying and laughing: "You still know that you should scold me?"

Zhuang Yan said, "Well, scold me."

"Then close your eyes first."

Zhou Yucheng felt the eyelashes scrape and close like feathers.He paused for a moment, and then said, "How could you run into the cave without saying hello? If you really meet a strange beast..."

If Zhuang Yan really met a strange beast, would he still be able to lie here and accept his blame?Thinking of this, Zhou Yuchen still felt a chill down his back. He almost, almost lost him.Perhaps it was at that moment that he truly realized how important Zhuang Yan was to him.

"...How can you let the servant go away and go into such a deep cave by yourself? Even if it's not a strange beast, if you meet other..." The anger had already subsided, but Zhou Yuchen couldn't help but said, " Why can't you pay attention to protecting yourself? Didn't you promise me? Doesn't the agreement with me count?"

He suddenly had a lot of things to say, Zhou Yuchen had never encountered such a situation, he cared so much about a person, but that person didn't know that he cared about him, that kind of helplessness, he looked for Zhuang Yan everywhere in the cave The powerless anxious feeling is really too bad.

Zhou Yuchen couldn't help standing up straight, planning to teach Zhuang Yan another lesson, to make him understand the seriousness of this matter.However, he moved his hand and lifted it up, only to see that Zhuang Yan's brows were stretched, his breathing was even, and he was already asleep.

This is the person who just told him to scold him!Zhou Yuchen looked at Zhuang Yan for a while, and then smiled angrily.

He moved the pony closer, stretched his legs, leaned against the head of the bed, gently caressed Zhuang Yan's cheek, stared at him for a moment, bent down, and kissed those two lips.

Zhuang Yan called for the "voice" in his dream, but there was no response.He couldn't even return to that platform, as long as he tried hard, he felt pain from the depths of his brain, which was his overdrawn mental strength protesting.

But he had too many doubts, what the "voice" said before he fell unconscious, and the form it turned into shocked him. He called "the voice" everywhere, asking it to come out and give him an explanation.

Until he opened his eyes and woke up.

He was no longer lying in the tent, which was apparently the room on the command ship.

He sat up, and the room was brightly lit. He looked around, pressed the button on the bedside, and the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows opened. Outside the window was the vast universe, dazzling stars and nebulae.

They are already in space!At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the door was pushed open. The orderly came in with a tray and said, "Mr. Zhuang."

The steward first brought him a glass of water, and then put food in front of him. Zhuang Yan really felt hungry. He asked, "Did I sleep all day and all night?"

"No, you only slept five hours."

"Then why is the fleet already in space?"

"The fleet has set off ahead of schedule." The orderly ordered the meals.

"why?"

"The admiral said he wanted you to tell you after dinner."

"Why?" Zhuang Yan and the orderly looked at each other, then picked up chopsticks to eat.Even though he was hungry, Zhuang Yan had a bad feeling about the pass of the orderly, so he stopped eating halfway and looked at the orderly.

"gentlemen……"

"tell me."

The orderly had no choice but to think about it, and said, "The beast tide broke out in Westminster, sir."

"What!" Zhuang Yan suddenly changed color, stood up, and knocked over the water glass with his hand.

"When did this happen?"

"The news came about six hours ago, and the fleet set off immediately after receiving the news."

The orderly answered Zhuang Yan while picking up the water glass.

Zhuang Yan looked around, found his coat and put it on: "Where's Zhou Yuchen?"

"The admiral is in a meeting."

"Then take me to where he's meeting."

"gentlemen……"

"I won't disturb his meeting, I'll wait outside."

"You're next door, sir."

Zhuang Yan was walking out the door when he heard that his footsteps stopped. This was a suite on a ship. As soon as he opened the door, he heard Zhou Yuchen's voice next door.

Zhuang Yan stood at the door, listening to what Zhou Yuchen said.

The meeting was coming to an end, and it was over soon. Zhou Yuchen came out and faced Zhuang Yan who had been standing at the door of the room: "Why are you standing here?"

Zhuang Yan spoke first, almost urgently: "How about over there?"

"The speed of the spread is not as fast as here, and it can last until we arrive." Zhou Yuchen said.

"This is no longer a wave of small beasts. We must immediately ask the empire for help." Zhuang Yan said, "Then... people, how about it?"

Zhou Yuchen looked at him and said, "The Grand Duke and Queen are fine, and Princess Helena is fine too."

Hearing this, Zhuang Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when he looked at Zhou Yuchen's gaze, he suddenly noticed something implied in that gaze. He lowered his head to avoid that gaze, but he didn't know what he was avoiding.

"You will see the specific situation in two hours." Zhou Yuchen still said, "There is no need to worry now, let's go back to the room and think about how to comfort Princess Helena there."

There seemed to be a hint of irony in these words, Zhuang Yan couldn't help but glance at Zhou Yuchen again, only to realize that Zhou Yuchen's eyes were also bloodshot, and he realized that he must have not been able to rest well.

An inexplicable sense of guilt rose in Zhuang Yan's heart. He opened his mouth and was about to speak, but another officer came in. After saluting Zhou Yuchen, he whispered a few words to him. Zhou Yuchen didn't look at Zhuang Yan again, and turned around. Went out with the officer.
