Love at Second Sight [Interstellar]

Together with Zhou Yuchen, Zhuang Yan transformed half of the living room of the dormitory into a small office with two desks and high chairs.In the evening, after dinner, the two were reviewing documents and reading materials at their respective desks, when suddenly the terminal vibrated slightly.

"It's Mom and Dad." Zhou Yuchen glanced at the terminal and connected the request. The images of Zhou Dun and Claudia were immediately put on the table, and there was another person.

"Why are you here?" Zhuang Yan was surprised.

"Is this your attitude towards your father?" Zhuang Ze said angrily.

Zhou Yuchen quickly took Zhuang Yan's hand, interlocked his fingers, and smiled slightly at Zhuang Ze: "Father."

Zhuang Yan glanced at him, but felt a little embarrassed. This was the first time they showed their intimate relationship in front of their elders.

"That's your ring?" Claudia changed the subject in a timely manner, "Show us a little closer...you actually got engaged without saying hello, not even an engagement ceremony."

"It's fine. There's no engagement ceremony, just make sure the wedding is grand and focused." Zhou Dun glanced at Zhuang Ze and said with a smile.

Zhou Yuchen had a premonition that the parents were going to talk about something together, and he heard Zhuang Ze say: "You two, when do you plan to get married?"

Zhuang Yan was stunned for a moment: "I don't think there's any hurry, after all we all have our own things to be busy..."

"That's not okay, my dear." Claudia interrupted him, "What do you Chinese people say? 'Long nights and dreams'? There are too many people who want to prevent you from getting married. According to our elders, the more The sooner you get married, the better."

"Then you can't prepare hastily." Zhuang Yan looked at Zhou Yuchen. After all, a wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event.

"It's just a ceremony." Zhou Yuchen squeezed his hand tightly, Zhuang Yan looked at him, and suddenly looked away.Yes, it's just a ceremony, love is in their hearts, and the ceremony is for outsiders to see after all.

"Then it's decided!" Claudia said straightforwardly, "Get married as soon as possible. It's too hasty to set it before the New Year. One month after the New Year, there are many things. Let's set it after January. The specific date , let’s discuss it carefully before deciding, how about it?”

She looked at Zhuang Ze, who nodded.

"What about the venue?" Zhuang Yan asked, and he suddenly thought of the Zhuang family's tradition that all men who get married must return to Haitang Star to get married.But he and Zhou Yuchen are both men...

"It's on Begonia." Zhou Dun smiled, "As compensation, your new year will be spent in Fomalhaut, so that your in-laws can spare time to prepare for the wedding."

Zhuang Ze agreed.Obviously, before communicating with Zhou Yuchen and Zhuang Yan, the elders had almost discussed it.

Until the end of the communication, Zhuang Yan felt at a loss. In just one month, he and Zhou Yuchen had completed the three steps of establishing a relationship, getting engaged, and confirming the date of marriage. Isn't it too fast?

"It's like a dream." He said to himself as he and Zhou Yuchen went to bed to get ready for sleep.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Yuchen hugged him and lay down, "If it weren't for the complicated wedding, they would wish we could get married tomorrow."

He kissed Zhuang Yan on the lips: "Okay, Mrs. Zhou, I'd better take a good rest and prepare to work overtime tomorrow." After getting married in January, there is no need to think about the honeymoon, and you have to make up for those two months of work in advance.

"One more thing." Zhuang Yan touched his face after the lights were turned off, "Didn't His Majesty point you to the Spinera family? Can he agree to our marriage?"

It stands to reason that the emperor cannot interfere with the marriage of two young people in the empire.But Zhuang Yan and Zhou Yuchen, one is the heir of the Zhuang family, and the other is the young commander of the group army. If they get married in such a hurry, they will be killed first and then played later, it will greatly affect the harmony between their family and the royal family.

"We need to meet His Majesty the Emperor about this matter."

"I will go with you?"

"You come with me."

On the evening of November [-]th, the imperial palace was bathed in a magnificent sunset, and festive costumes were everywhere.

Zhuang Yan followed Zhou Yuchen to the emperor's bedroom, walked into the reception room, and saw the emperor sitting in the middle seat, the queen, Crown Prince Edward, Prince Julian and Princess sat on the sofa on his left, and Marshal Langton.

"Yuchen." The old emperor stood up, motivating everyone to stand up.

"Your Majesty." Zhou Yuchen stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, kissing the emperor's power ring.Zhuang Yan also stepped forward and performed the same etiquette.

The moment he raised his head and looked at the old emperor, Zhuang Yan found that His Majesty was not as old as he looked from a distance. Although his body was like an ancient tree in a deep forest, his eyes were like deep lake water. When the sun fell from the branches and leaves, Still able to shine.

The emperor invited everyone to have dinner with him.After dinner, the emperor asked everyone to stay in the reception room, and ordered Zhou Yuchen to go to the study with him alone.

"You won, Mr. Zhuang."

Just as Zhuang Yan was guessing wildly about the conversation in the study, Marshal Langton suddenly came over and said.

Zhuang Yan turned around and looked at Langton with raised eyebrows.

"The bill has been overthrown by you, and the marriage will be as you wish." Marshal Langton's eyes were as sharp as a hawk, "But this is just a victory in a battle." Facing Langton's eyes, Zhuang Yan suddenly understood ——From the very beginning, Zhou Yuchen told him that the purpose of imprisoning Brandt Russell and insisting on confronting the military was to finally get a bargaining chip that was worth a lot.

He always thought that this bargaining chip was a certain right of the Second Army, or the smooth implementation of the "Sentry Act", but now he understood that this bargaining chip was their marriage!

"Whether you can always fight and win in life depends on everyone's luck." Marshal Langton's smile seemed to be mocking, but also seemed to have other meanings, "Do you think you can win to the end?"

"I feel that my life is not just a battle." Zhuang Yan said, "There are thousands of differences between people. From birth, they have invested in different directions. Since they have different goals, how can there be winners or losers? ?”

The door of the reception room opened, and the attendant walked in, saluted Zhuang Yan: "Sir, Your Majesty invites you to come over."

Zhuang Yan walked into the study, Zhou Yuchen stood aside, smiling at him, while the old emperor sat peacefully behind the heavy oak desk.

"Zhuang Yan, are you determined to make Zhou Yuchen your partner and never regret it?"

Zhuang Yan raised his head to meet the emperor's gaze: "I will not go back on my word, Your Majesty."

"Then." The emperor slowly stood up against the desk and said, "I will bless you."

As the new year is approaching, Zhuang Yan and Zhou Yuchen returned to Fomalhaut.This was the few days of leisure they had left before they got married. Zhou Yuchen completely put aside work, and spent every day eating with his family and training with his younger siblings.

Zhuang Yan was still too busy to stop. Zhou Yuchen told him that after they got married, the research institute would be officially launched. He had already contacted several colleagues from that year, including Jose, to discuss with the team recruited by Zhou Yuchen. Establishment of the Institute's first projects.

In addition, he is also trying to improve Fomalhaut's local language.After he and Zhou Yuchen had their wedding in Haitang, they still had to return to Fomalhaut to deliver a speech to the public. The speech was written in the local language and drafted by the staff, and Zhuang Yan only had to read it out.

"... On this beautiful day, I promise you that I will..." When it was time to go to bed at night, Zhuang Yan was still leaning on the bed, reading in a low voice to the manuscript, and playing back the demonstration given by his instructor in the headset, Correct your own pronunciation over and over again.

Zhou Yuchen sat on the bed with a fruit plate. Zhuang Yan put the manuscript down and looked at him expressionlessly: "I think I love you more than you love me."

"How to say?"

"For you, I have to memorize this [-]-word manuscript!" Zhuang Yan said, "Look at you again, playing with your younger siblings at the training ground every day, cooking at home..."

"For you, I have to endure loneliness every day." Zhou Yuchen poked a piece of fruit with a stick and fed it into Zhuang Yan's mouth. Speech..."

After Zhuang Yan finished eating the fruit, he looked at him helplessly and laughed.

Watching his smile, Zhou Yuchen fed him another piece, leaned up to kiss him, parted his lips, and shared the piece of fruit with him.

Sharing and sharing, Zhou Yuchen's hand touched the unspeakable place.Zhuang Yan has been busy for the past few days, and the two of them haven't exercised for two or three days.

"Well, no..." Zhuang Yan pushed Zhou Yuchen, "I won't be able to get up in the morning if I do it."

Tomorrow I will have a meeting with Gao Suo's team, and then I will practice my speech with the instructor, not only the pronunciation, but also the eyes, gestures, and posture. Although Zhuang Yan's aristocratic etiquette is impeccable and he has also been a lecturer, Zhuang Yan never I have never been a public figure, but this is in front of all the people of Fomalhaut, so I must be perfect.

"Well, I think you are too strict with yourself." Zhou Yuchen kissed his chin and Adam's apple, "Can't the speech be written in a common language? Just use a translator..."

Zhuang Yan hugged Zhou Yuchen like a clingy big dog: "I want to read it in your language."

He reached out and stroked the mole at the corner of Zhou Yuchen's eye, even if he couldn't express the emotion surging in his heart: "What I'm going to face is a group of people who support and love you. These people, this land, belong to you Part of me, I want to love them like I love you."

The two looked at each other quietly for a moment, then hugged each other.

"Zhuang." The next day, after a meeting at the research institute, Gao Suo walked up to Zhuang Yan, "Teacher is coming tomorrow."

Zhuang Yan paused while sorting out the materials, and said in surprise, "Teacher? Tomorrow?"

He stood up, walked aside with Gao Suo, Gao Suo said: "Teacher is going to the imperial capital, and he will pass by here tomorrow."

Zhuang Yan said: "Why did you choose a few days during the New Year..."

Gao Suo was silent for a while, and said: "Actually, Teacher's body is almost dying."

Zhuang Yan looked at Gao Suo and slowly lowered his eyes.Master Bain's body was already in bad shape when the institute was disbanded.The failure of his life's hard work, the criticism of public opinion, and most importantly, the death of his most beloved disciple in the experiment he personally facilitated.

After the disbandment of the Institute, Master Bain stayed behind closed doors and declined anyone's visits. Even Zhuang Yan, the closest disciples, became his first object of rejection, just because he saw Zhuang Yan Waiting for others, it seems that the tragedy is happening again in front of your eyes.

Up to now, this well-known master in the field of mechs only wants to go back to the place where his dead disciple once lived in his last days.

"Teacher's spacecraft will pass by Fomalhaut's space station tomorrow." Gao Suo said, "I want to visit him, do you want to come together?"

Zhuang Yan cheered up and said, "Does the teacher agree?"

Gaussian nodded.
