Love at Second Sight [Interstellar]

When Zhou Yuchen appeared on the training ground as a "temporary instructor" for the second time, not many people were surprised. It was a lucky thing to be able to receive the guidance of the general twice or more.

After the morning's training, Zhuang Yan got off the mech, sweating all over his head, and handed him a clean towel from the side.

He looked up, and it was his new partner—after his original partner had applied twice, Buck Tull swapped him out for another sentinel in the class.

This young man's name is Leiter, with black hair and black eyes, he should have a bit of Asian descent, but his temper is much better than that of the last sentinel, and the cooperative training with Zhuang Yan went smoothly.

"Thank you." Zhuang Yan took the towel.

"Shall we have lunch together, Mr. Zhuang?" Lei Te smiled, "We can talk about the problems in the morning training while eating."

"Oh..." Zhuang Yan was about to agree, when an orderly came over and saluted, "Mr. Zhuang, the general invites you to come over."

Zhuang Yan had no choice but to thank Lei Te, Lei Te smiled and watched him leave with the orderly.

"Leite Feng?" Zhou Yuchen asked in the office.

"You know him?"

"I don't know him at the moment." Zhou Yuchen touched his chin and said.He remembered another thing: "Have you entered the military zone for almost a month and a half?"

Zhuang Yan thought for a while and said, "Indeed."

"Then the fraternity is coming."

"Association?"

"The military department calls it a 'meeting meeting', which is actually the Lalang meeting of the sentinel guides. You have participated in a similar meeting in the tower, but this meeting is mandatory for everyone to attend. I hope you don't go."

"You said it was a compulsory order." Zhuang Yan said, "If I don't obey the order, Buck Tal will catch me again."

"If you go to my base, there will be no Buck Tarr." Zhou Yuchen said quietly.

"...Zhuang Han has already helped me with my appointments. I will change shifts when the first phase of training is over early next month." Zhuang Yan got up and said, "I have to go to rest."

In fact, compared to the time at the beginning of last month, Buck Tal has been kind to him recently, and with the change of a partner who is willing to cooperate, Zhuang Yan's life has been much easier recently, but a change of shift is still necessary. Who knows what big move Buck Tal is planning.

"You've only been here for half an hour." Zhou Yuchen stood up, "I used my dinner and lunch breaks to work and squeeze out a day to see you. Is that how you treat me?"

Zhuang Yan picked up his coat and was about to turn around when he heard the words and turned around again: "...But if you don't take a break, the efficiency of training in the afternoon will decrease."

"Let's rest here." Zhou Yuchen came over, half pushing and half embracing him by the shoulders, leading him to the inner part of the office.

The moment his broad palm touched Zhuang Yan's shoulder, Zhuang Yan felt a small electric current rushing up from his spine, and the temperature of Zhou Yuchen's palm seemed to scald him, so he dodged away.

"I asked the servant to put a bed..." Zhou Yuchen looked at him with his hands empty, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Zhuang Yan quickly put on his coat. "It's bad to be seen coming out of your office after lunch break, I'm leaving."

Ever since that thought flashed through his mind while chatting with Zhou Yuchen that night and surprised Zhuang Yan himself, he always thought of that question from time to time, and then he thought about it one after another: Why would he care about this?

Zhuang Yan is not ignorant of the feeling of electric shock. Although he is old-fashioned, he is also a person who has been in love. He has a marriage contract with Helena. Although he follows the proper etiquette before marriage, there are hugs, I have held hands and kissed, and that hot-headed and trembling experience is somewhat similar to that of Helena, but it is very different.

Helena always thinks that his behavior lacks passion, he doesn't understand, he has already put the greatest passion in his life into this relationship, how can he be more passionate?Now, he seems to understand...

"Sir, sir?" A greeting brought Zhuang Yan back to his senses. He was sitting at the dining table in the cafeteria, opposite his partner Lei Tefeng.

"Do you want eggplant puree?" Leiter handed him a small box, "I think you like this flavor better."

"Oh, thank you."

"Did my question offend you?" Leiter watched Zhuang Yan lift the lid, scooped up two spoonfuls of eggplant puree, and slightly apologized, "Sorry."

"What's the problem?" Zhuang Yan was distracted just now and didn't hear anything.

"That's... are you Admiral Zhou's guide? Although I know he hasn't marked you yet."

Zhuang Yan paused, met Leiter's sincere gaze, opened his mouth, and said, "No. In fact, I have plans not to combine with the sentinel..."

"Oh." Lei Te nodded, "It's really a loss for too many people." He smiled, he was very handsome, and his smile was very bright, which made people feel good.Although Zhou Yuchen was handsome, his power as a commander often made people ignore this point.

"There should be no one who likes a guide of my age and personality." Zhuang Yan said this, but there was no regret in his tone.

"You underestimate yourself too much." Lei Te blinked, "Many people like abstinence."

"What?" Zhuang Yan frowned, not liking this word to describe himself, but Leiter quickly changed the topic to training.

The days passed quickly during the training. Since the drama incident, Qin Mei refused the media to recuperate in the hospital. She was in a coma for two days. After that, Zhuang Yan went to see her once, and she was also sleeping. The manager said that she often does this now , the doctor said it was because of long-term fatigue.

"Also, the doctor said that there were several abnormalities in Mei's brain nerves."

"What's abnormal?" Zhuang Yan asked immediately.

The manager hurriedly said: "It's not that bad abnormality, but it helps Mei's recovery. What the doctor means is that Mei's brain nerves have been stimulated and become more developed than ordinary people." She and Zhuang Yan They looked at each other for a while, and then said, "Also, what happened that day, the media..."

"You don't have to worry about that." Zhuang Yan said, "No media will bother you, and I won't let any news that damages her reputation appear."

"And Ethan Howell." The manager said, "Mei told you not to target him. She wants to talk to him in person when she gets better."

Zhuang Yan was silent for a moment and said, "Leave Ethan Howell aside." He looked at his manager, "Take care of her."

At the end of October, people in the imperial capital began to get busy. Both the upper class and ordinary people had to prepare for the upcoming New Year. At the same time, the lords of all star districts had to come to the imperial capital to meet His Majesty the Emperor and submit their consular documents. Summarize the governance situation throughout the year, propose a new governance bill, and submit it to Congress for filing.According to the temperament of His Majesty the current emperor, there will definitely be a grand palace banquet.

The meeting hosted by the military will be held on the 21st.Zhuang Yan was wearing a tie in front of the mirror. He was wearing a dark blue military uniform, which complemented the deep blue in his eyes.This is a military uniform specially issued to leaders by the military department, which is specially used for attending formal and social occasions.

Putting his tie on, he stepped back and took a look.Zhou Yuchen sat on a chair against the wall behind him, with one hand bare and the other a light pen, and looked up at him in the mirror.

"You still don't know how to tie the bow tie I gave you before?"

"No." Zhuang Yan touched the simplest knot he had just learned. Indeed, the knot Zhou Yuchen tied for him was even more beautiful, "How should I tie it?"

"I won't teach you, teach you, let you go to the sorority to attract those young brats?"

Zhuang Yan's hand was frozen there. Zhou Yuchen always said something that sounded interesting recently, but the tone was understated, making it difficult to care about it.But it was himself who made Zhuang Yan feel bad. Any meaningful words from Zhou Yuchen could easily stir his heartstrings.

Zhuang Yan quickly put on the cuff buttons, turned around, Zhou Yuchen also got up, took out a tube of injection and handed it to Zhuang Yan: "Just in case."

Zhuang Yan took the injection and said, "The military region prohibits guides from possessing inhibitors." He heard that some inducers would be mixed in the drinks at the military meeting to make the guides unconsciously emit pheromones. Of course, the effect is relatively slight. But to put it bluntly, it was nothing more than adding some aphrodisiacs between the sentinel guides who met to make the dry wood fire more violent.

Although according to the constitutional human rights, the state cannot force the combination of guides and sentries, but the combined guides and sentries can exert the limit of strength, which is what the army can't wait for.

"If you get caught, say it was given by Admiral Zhou." Zhou Yuchen said, "I don't think many people would dare to confiscate it. If it wasn't for being called by His Majesty to attend a dinner at the palace, I should have gone with you."

Zhuang Yan was confident in his ability to control pheromones, but he still accepted the injection.

At the meeting at night, as Zhuang Yan expected, after the presiding officer gave a short speech, all the sentinel guides were not allowed to leave halfway, so the hall was full of chatter and laughter, and there was an ambiguous atmosphere in the air.

Zhuang Yan didn't drink any drinks, but only drank the water he brought, and sat in the corner.But the number of guides was so small compared to the number of sentries, a ratio of one to ten, so that Zhuang Yan, the "notorious" guide, began to be noticed by some bored sentries who were full of energy and couldn't find a guide.

Why is it "notorious", because Zhuang Yan's previous partner did not go well with him in training several times, complained to the other sentries, and then spread it around, and everyone knew that there was an age in a certain class. A guide who is very big, has a rigid personality and is very difficult to get along with.This matter had been circulated among the trainees in the military region for a long time, and Zhuang Yan only found out about it in the past few days, but it was beneficial for him to know about it.

In the middle of the meeting, Zhuang Yan was thinking about the Sentinel Retirement Bill that Zhou Yuchen was busy with these days, when suddenly a figure staggered not far away and came to Zhuang Yan's round table.

"Hi, hi." Looking at Zhuang Yan's sober and calm eyes, the sentinel took off his hat a little awkwardly and put it on the table.

Zhuang Yan was about to stand up and walk away, but he heard the sentry pleading with his tongue out, "Please, don't go, I, I will be laughed at by them."

It was only then that Zhuang Yan saw the appearance of the sentry. Although he was as tall as the other sentries, his facial features were obviously childish. He was wearing a straight military uniform and looked like a big boy.His face was flushed, I don't know whether it was from drinking or he was cramped, and his eyes were shining brightly.A group of sentinels sat far behind him, watching

This is a naive sentry, Zhuang Yan sat back and crossed his legs: "You just sit here." Just to prevent other sentries from accosting.

As if pardoned, the sentry sat down and looked at Zhuang Yan for a while: "I, my name is Marty."

Zhuang Yan looked up at him: "Marty, hello." He turned off the light panel in his hand, "You should be very good. There are not many people who enter the military zone at a young age like you."

Marty immediately said: "I'm not young anymore, I'm already 17 years old."

Zhuang Yan looked at him, and suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help smiling.Marty stared blankly at his smile, and unexpectedly soft blue eyes, and found himself being egged on by his partner to be deflated, with unexpected rewards.It took him a long time to find his tongue.

"What are you drinking?"

"It's just water."

"Would you like some wine?"

"No, thanks."

"Okay." Marty looked at the water glass in Zhuang Yan's hand for a moment, and hiccupped, "Can you give me some water? I feel a little uncomfortable after drinking."

"...Okay." Zhuang Yan looked at the kettle and said, Marty asked a passing wine server robot for a glass, asked Zhuang Yan for a kettle, and poured a glass of water for himself to drink. After drinking, he Suddenly feeling a little uneasy, he stopped staying and got up and said, "Thank you, I'm much better, I have to go back."

"Okay." Zhuang Yan said casually, lowered his head and continued to look at the bare board.
