Second marriage [Zerg]

Vincent smoked a cigarette decadently, leaned lazily on the luxurious office chair, crossed his legs on the edge of the table, and sighed repeatedly.

Ning Bai knocked on the door, but he didn't look at it, and said in a drawn-out tone: "Come in—come—"

The sound of footsteps was approaching, and Vincent asked aloofly, "Is the stadium arranged?"

Ning Bai smiled: "Do you want to play? I know a good venue, and I can arrange it for you at any time."

The unexpected voice startled Vincent, and he sat up in a panic, his legs on the desk retracted under the table.

"Ning Bai?"

Vincent's expression changed from surprise to suspicion, mixed with a hint of guilt and fear at the same time.

He subconsciously dodged back and scolded: "This is the military department! How did you get in? What are you doing here? Someone..."

"Major General, everyone outside seems to have gone for mental tests." Ning Bai interrupted him, walked to the door of the office, leaned over to look around in the corridor, "Even the guards have gone."

Then, he closed the office door smoothly, turned around and walked up to Wen Sen: "If you have any orders, just let me do it."

Ning Bai didn't get too close, he kept a proper distance between himself and Wen Sen.

This distance is enough for Wen Sen to take out the laser weapon and kill Ning Bai with one blow.

And everyone knew that all of Ning Bai's weapons and equipment had been handed in when he left the army.

Wen Sen finally calmed down a little. He looked at Ning Bai suspiciously: "...Did you hear something? What are you planning?"

"You mean... the parliamentary declaration of war proposal? That's the headline on today's news, and people are talking about it in the streets and alleys."

Ning Bai suddenly lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "If you are talking about this, then you are really wrong to blame me. I know myself."

There was a subtle crack in his usually calm and steady voice, which made him seem to have revealed a weakness.

Wen Sen immediately grasped Ning Bai's depression at this moment, sneered a few times knowingly, and looked up and down at the light brown police uniform on Ning Bai's body.

"Officer Ning," his tone of voice began to drag out again, "Is this suit suitable for you? Are you used to staying in the downtown area? I know, you are no stranger to that kind of environment. Your hero treats you fine?"

Ning Bai's expression froze, and he was silent for a moment: "...Fortunately, thanks to you."

"Don't be so restrained," Vincent smiled triumphantly. "After all, we have been classmates and colleagues for so long. After all, you were promoted to major general earlier than me, and you are still my senior. It is said that you go to the commercial street to take up your post." I should go see you off, but you know, the Army Group is too busy with work to get away. Come, sit down and talk, oh, and bring me an ashtray."

"Yes."

Ning Bai took an ashtray from the tea cabinet, held it in front of Wen Sen, and bowed his body so that Wen Sen could flick the ashtray in it.

Wen Sen sprayed the smoke on Ning Bai's face: "It's good to be a security policeman. Catch thieves, raise the elderly, and give your hero a few more cubs to enjoy family happiness. Compared with us soldiers The female is much more free."

Ning Bai smiled apologetically: "You're right, it's just that the income is really..."

"You are so capable, making money should be very easy, even if you go out to work as an hourly worker on weekends, you can support your D-class hero."

"Oh, you really don't understand my difficulties."

"Oh?" Wen Sen chuckled, looking at Ning Bai's expression with great interest.

He looked at it for a while, and seemed to be very satisfied with this face with low brows, and asked in a low tone with a smile on his face, "What do you want to see me today?"

Ning Bai's eyes suddenly burst into surprise: "Indeed, there is indeed something, please help."

He frantically called out the reconstruction plan of the drainage line of the commercial street from the communicator, and said eagerly to Vincent: "The drainage pipeline of the commercial street in the lower city is too old, and it will be dirty when it rains a little, and it is impossible to do business at all." , We have hired a professional company to design the reconstruction plan of the drainage line, but the government planning bureau has not approved it, and it has delayed us from starting work, can you..."

"Drainage planning?" Wen Sen had no idea that this was what Ning Bai was going to say, and he asked, "The security police still care about this?"

Ning Bai was a little embarrassed, and hesitated to speak: "From the perspective of the scope of responsibilities, I really can't control it... However, if it can be involved in engineering, it can be somewhat... oily and so on. I'm telling the truth, don't joke Me, the heating at home is broken, and Xiongzhu has lost my temper with me several times because of this, but I really don’t have the money to buy a new one.”

"Hahahahaha," Vincent burst into uncontrollable laughter, "Ning Bai, Ning Bai, I didn't expect you... Hahahahaha!"

"I know your uncle is the leader of the government's planning department, can you..."

Ning Bai stared at Wen Sen's face, as if carefully guessing every subtle change in the major general's expression.

"...At least, please ask your uncle to send someone to the commercial street to investigate on the spot. We are really in trouble."

"This matter..." Wen Sen took out another cigarette from the cigarette case, and Ning Bai immediately understood and helped Wen Sen light it up, "I can't say anything about my uncle."

"...How about finding a suitable time, and I invite you and your uncle to sit down and have a meal?"

"Oh? Are you free to eat with others now?" Vincent smiled maliciously, and glanced at Ning Bai, "Listen to my brothers and the others, when you were studying in the military academy, since you were promoted to B-level, you have I've become unreasonable, obviously I used to go out to parties and play with the males before, is there such a thing?"

"This..." Sweat dripped from Ning Bai's forehead, "Major General, I have a hero, I can't..."

"A D-grade scum, what are you afraid of? My brother and his friends are at least B-grade males."

Vincent poked Ning Bai's silver bracelet with a lit cigarette butt, and lowered his voice.

"Isn't it better to let the B-level males adjust your mental strength for you? Let me tell you, even I have never been to those fun places. My brother said that it is not convenient to bring military females to play. But you are different , you are now a female slave, no matter where you go to play, it is very convenient. And you will not give birth to insect cubs, what are you afraid of? Weren't you a courtesan before?"

"No, I can not……"

"Ning Bai, I arranged for you to accompany my brother to help you. I am just my uncle's nephew, and my brother is my uncle's real son."

"Major General Wen Sen, thank you. But... sorry." Ning Bai bit his lip, bowed deeply to Wen Sen, and then left Wen Sen's office as if fleeing.

Wen Sen broke out into another burst of smug laughter, and he shouted to Ning Bai from a distance: "Think about the heating in your house, and the whip of your hero. Come to me after you think about it."

……

Ning Bai left the second army station familiarly, and saw Yiluo in an inconspicuous corner.

"Major General, is the deal settled?" Yi Luo asked.

Ning Bai smiled: "Of course it can't be settled at once. If I have no bottom line and agree to any conditions, he must suspect that I have another purpose. In order to let him relax his vigilance, I will come and beg him again in two days."

Yi Luo pursed her lips and said unwillingly, "I have wronged you."

"It's nothing." Ning Bai patted Yiluo on the shoulder, "You should pay attention recently, and notify me immediately if there is any movement. If there is a war, they probably won't give you the opportunity to go to the front to earn military merits, which is better , you can stay at the back and wait for me to come back, when the time comes, we will go make a big one together. Pay attention to safety and adapt to the situation!"

"You too, take care!" Yi Luo said.

Ning Bai returned to the commercial street in a civilian spaceship, and discussed with Qu Ming about the communication and arrangement with K12 on the eighth floor of the building.

Until get off work time, he left on time and walked back home.

Pushing open the door, the room was very quiet, Chu An was lying on the sofa in the living room looking at the real estate catalog, there was a cup of black tea on the coffee table, the tea was fragrant, as if it had just been brewed.

Very ordinary tea, you can tell by the taste alone, it is not as good as the quality of Yundis black tea.

But it's strange, today Ning Bai suddenly felt that this simple taste is also very good, it made him feel at ease, and he even wanted to taste it himself.

"Xiong Lord, I'm back." He said softly, went to the sofa and knelt down, slightly rubbing his head against Chu An's arm, sharing the same tea fragrance with Chu An.

Chu An quickly put down the book, pulled him to the sofa and sat down, and asked naturally: "What's the matter, I'm not happy at work, what wronged me?"

Ning Bai was inexplicably guilty: "No...no."

Chu An said clearly: "This is how grassroots work works. The masses often don't understand, and we have to explain it to them in a good manner. It is inevitable that we will be wronged. But grassroots work also has a sense of accomplishment from grassroots work. The masses are very simple. , Sometimes they are nonsense and unreasonable, and sometimes they really move you, and you will gradually realize that the sense of accomplishment is different from being an officer in the army."

"..."

Ning Bai blinked his eyes half understanding.

Chu An smiled at him: "Have you ever heard of a word called 'public servant'. It means that a civil servant is a person who serves the public. So don't always think that you are an official, think more about yourself As a public servant of the people, your heart will be at ease. Can you tell me, if you encounter any trouble, maybe I can help you out."

It is rare for Chu An, who is full of grassroots work experience, to show his skills in front of Ning Bai, with a small joy that cannot be hidden on his face.

Ning Bai didn't want to reveal too much at first, but he seemed to be bewitched by this smile and the aroma of black tea, so he opened his mouth after deliberation.

"...The drainage pipes in the commercial street need to be refurbished. The design drawings have been released a long time ago, but the higher-level planning bureau has not approved our plan. I went to ask for help today, but I couldn't get it done."

"That's it..."

Things were a little trickier than Chu An imagined. He originally thought that Ning Bai was worrying about the tedious work at the grassroots level, but he didn't expect that it was the bureaucratic mess of the higher authorities.

"Xiong Lord, don't bother, let's think of a way." Ning Bai hesitated for a moment, as if he knew that he would talk more and more, but couldn't help but want to continue, "Maybe... tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I need to go out Let's socialize and invite those leaders to have a meal."

"Well, let's go." Chu An understood.

"Maybe I need to drink..." Ning Bai hesitated, "Also, there might be something else..."

"Other?"

"Because some male leaders... asked me to accompany you by name," Ning Bai peeked at Chu An's face, "Maybe... it shouldn't be too much, they probably think that they should find a female slave to accompany them Alcohol, it will be more relaxed."

Chu An stood up from the sofa with a "chuckle".

Ning Bai nervously grabbed Chu An's finger: "I, I was wrong... Please punish the hero."

"I'm not talking about you. I'm just..."

Chu An felt a tightness in his chest.

He knew that this was Ning Bai's work, which was related to the interests of thousands of people in the commercial street. He himself was just a D-class male who was forced to match Ning Bai by the government. He was married to Ning Bai in the name but not in reality. He has no position to judge Ning Bai's work, and the officialdom he himself has experienced is not necessarily much cleaner than this.

but……

Chu An couldn't help raising his voice: "What does it mean to let go! What do they mean? Do they respect you at all! Okay, you can go, tell me the address of the restaurant before you go, and I will wait for you at the entrance of the restaurant."

Ning Bai was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "Xiong Lord, this is inappropriate..."

"Humph."

Chu An groaned angrily, raised his hand and rumpled Ning Bai's hair vigorously, then walked straight to the kitchen.

"Come and help me make dinner!"

……

After dinner is the time for routine mental therapy.

Today's treatment lasted a long time.

Originally, Ning Bai was very greedy for Chu An's spiritual power, and always wanted to use various means to seduce his hero in order to get more.

But today, Chu An might be really angry. Ning Bai felt that he was completely suppressed by a spiritual force as vast and boundless as the sea of ​​clouds.He can only surrender to this invisible force, obey Chu An's guidance, and move forward in an infinitely deep and infinitely far-reaching space of spiritual power.

And those disobedient tentacles on Chu An's body kept scratching Ning Bai's ears, making the earlobe red.Ning Bai felt awkward, every time he was distracted and pushed them away, Chu An would frown and say that he was not serious.

After the long treatment, Ning Bai felt that he had been reborn, and he could even feel the surging power emanating from his heart.

It was a kind of... well, a kind of righteousness, which made all the calculations and schemes in his heart seem so selfish and insignificant, not worth mentioning.

"Go to sleep, I'm leaving."

After finishing today's treatment, Chu An left Ning Bai's room in a muffled voice.

……

After a few days, Ning Bai returned late as expected.

He pushed open the door with a filthy smell of alcohol, and bumped his head into Chu An's arms.

Ning Bai's hair was a little messy, her fair skin was slightly red, and her eyes were misty, but she managed to regain consciousness.

"My lord, I'm back."

His voice was quite normal, Chu An was a little relieved.

However, there were obviously new scars on Ning Bai's wrist wearing the bracelet, and the scorched black color was shocking.

It's been a while since Chu An saw the discharge of that bracelet, and the old wounds on Ning Bai's wrist have all faded away, why today...?

He helped Ning Bai back to the room, wiped Ning Bai's face with a towel, leaned over to take off his shoes, unbuttoned his clothes, and took care of him to lie down and rest.

Ning Bai tightly protected his collar with his hands, refusing to take off his clothes, avoiding Chu An's movements.

Chu An had no choice but to sigh.

Ning Bai was awakened by the sound of a sigh. He finally realized something. He opened his sore eyelids and saw that the male worm in front of him was Chu An.

Chu An couldn't help feeling distressed, rubbed his hair, and said softly: "Well, I'm here, you can rest, call me if you feel unwell."

"Master..." Ning Bai called out again.

While drunk, he gently grabbed Chu An by the corner of his clothes to prevent Chu An from leaving.

His eyes were bewitched and confused, he looked at Chu An hazily for a long time, and murmured as if in a dream: "Can you... hug me again."

Chu An was stunned.

Although he was a little puzzled, he returned to Ning Bai, sat on the bed, and hugged Ning Bai with his arms wide open.

The military female, who was much taller and stronger than him, nestled obediently in his arms at this moment, like a bird returning to its nest.

Chu An can really feel that at this moment Ning Bai completely let go of his body to him, not to increase contact and adjust mental power, but simply to get support and comfort from himself.

He patted Ning Bai's back lightly.

"Go home, it's all right. Go to sleep."

Ning Bai didn't respond.

After a while, deep and suppressed sobs came from Chu An's ear...

……

Early the next morning, Ning Bai went to work on time.

Chu An was worried. Looking at the rich breakfast left by the female worm, he took a few bites absent-mindedly, and then returned to his study to scribble today's update—he was caught by the editor because of carelessness and too many typos. It's a good lesson.

In the afternoon, the communicator suddenly popped up a rainstorm warning.

Chu An seemed to have finally got a reasonable reason. He ran out of the house with his rain gear and went straight to the commercial street.

Just halfway through, the heavy rain came as expected.

Chu An trekked hard on the muddy road, and after a while, he saw an official spaceship with the words "Planning Bureau" parked at the entrance of the commercial street from a distance, as if it was about to start to leave.

Suddenly, a figure flashed from behind the spaceship, braved the heavy rain and stopped in front of the cockpit of the spaceship.

The light brown police uniform had been wet by the rain and turned dark brown, but Chu An knew that he would not admit his mistake, it was Ning Bai.

I don't know what Ning Bai said, but soon, the official spaceship turned around and re-entered the commercial street.

Merchants took their belongings back from the street and widened the road to make room for the huge spaceship.

Ning Bai didn't board the spaceship, he still stood outside in the rain, wading through the muddy water to guide the spaceship.

Chu An watched Ning Bai's back silently, walked to the eaves of the syrup shop at the entrance of the commercial street, and asked the stall owner if he could take shelter from the rain here.

Handsome males have always been treated preferentially, the stall owner let Chu An indoors to rest and gave him a hot syrup.

Chu An thanked politely, picked up the cup of low-quality syrup absent-mindedly, did not sit down to rest, but stood at the window, watching the bean-sized raindrops outside.

Ning Bai was introducing the status quo of the drainage system of the commercial street to the leaders of the Planning Bureau who came to investigate in the rain.

The stall owner walked behind Chu An, looked out with him, and sighed: "Those senior officials just arrived at the street, and it suddenly started to rain. They thought it was dirty here and were about to leave. Major General Ning Bai ran over and said A lot of good words, I persuaded them to stay and take a look, and now they are leading them to investigate in the heavy rain. Sigh, why didn’t they let the major general go to the spaceship together, really.”

The stall owner couldn't see it, and shook his head while talking.

Another female who was hiding from the rain in the house next to her said: "I used to think that the major general was very lofty. I used to nod and bow like this in front of his superiors. No wonder he rose so fast in the army. Now he is leading the way in the heavy rain. I guess I also want to please the leader, so let’s leave this poor place as soon as possible.”

The stall owner was not happy: "Why do you say that about Major General Ning Bai? He asked the senior officials of the Planning Bureau to stay on site for field inspections for the sake of our commercial street."

"I know," the female was not convinced, "If he makes achievements in the commercial street, he can be promoted. Who wants to stay in this ghost place forever."

Chu An couldn't stand the argument between the two worms, so he got up and walked to the door.

The rain was a little lighter, and not far away, the official spaceship sailed into the narrow depths of the commercial street, and it was difficult to turn around and get out.

The spaceship tried left and right, to no avail, and seemed to want to take off directly into the air.

Ning Bai stopped it quickly, stepped forward and said something, and then personally commanded the spaceship to pour out from the depths of the commercial street bit by bit.

If that kind of behemoth takes off hastily in order to get out of trouble, it will definitely damage the shops and houses on the roadside.Regardless of whether the government will provide sufficient compensation to the residents, the small businesses here cannot afford the loss of income caused by the damaged shopfronts.

Undoubtedly, Ning Bai braved the heavy rain to fight those officials in every possible way for the safety of everyone's property, and took the trouble.

There were very few customers on the street, and the merchants stood at the door of their shops, silently watching Ning Bai in the rain.

Someone gave Ning Bai an umbrella, but Ning Bai smiled and didn't take it.

He was already drenched all over, and his blond hair was hanging on his forehead in strands, and he was in a mess.

The golden eagle that used to dominate the battlefield is still spreading its brilliant wings in this narrow street, protecting the weak from the rain and wind.

Chu An thought, this is the real hero.

After a while, the official spacecraft finally left.

Ning Bai stood at the street entrance for a long time, saying goodbye respectfully, until the spaceship completely faded out of sight.

A strange tall female insect ran towards Ning Bai and held up an umbrella for Ning Bai.

Ning Bai said something to him, the female nodded and ran away quickly.Ning Bai wanted to give him the umbrella, but he didn't take it either.

"Who is that guy?"

A familiar voice came from behind Ning Bai.

Ning Bai turned around in surprise: "Master? Why are you here?"

"The weather warning says it's going to rain heavily. I'll bring you an umbrella. Unfortunately, other bugs got there first. Who was that just now?"

Chu An said while covering Ning Bai's head with a large soft towel, and grabbed a few random ones.

"I just bought this towel. I think this commercial street is pretty good, with good quality and low price."

"...Thank you, Lord. The female worm just now is called Qu Ming, and it's from the commercial street..."

Before Ning Bai finished speaking, Chu An grabbed the umbrella from his hand.

Chu An put away his umbrella and shared one with Ning Bai.

The narrow umbrella separated them from the heavy rain of the whole world. Under the umbrella, the voice of the male insect was very gentle and pleasant: "Is there still work? Shall we go home?"

Ning Bai was stunned: "...um."

"Oh, by the way, there is also a syrup here, which was given to me by the stall owner next to it. Although the taste is relatively poor, it is still warm. Drink it to keep you warm."

"Yes. Thank you."

Chu An smiled.

Ning Bai was still chatting with officials from the Planning Bureau just now, but now facing his male worm, he doesn't seem to know what to say.

He led Ning Bai around the big puddle at the intersection, and left the commercial street under the rain under the watchful eyes of all stall owners and customers.

They walked side by side, close enough to hear each other's breathing.Even the smell of poor-quality syrup no longer makes people frown, but is filled with a warm and friendly feeling, reminiscent of some tender memories of childhood.

Ning Bai drank the syrup, lowered his head, and huddled beside Chu An, not saying a word.

Chu An tried to raise the umbrella higher so that Ning Bai could stand up straight.

"I admire you very much." He said sincerely to Ning Bai, "It's been hard these days. I believe that even if you leave this commercial street in the future, all the merchants and residents here will never forget you. What you have paid It's all worth it."

Ning Bai was silent for a while: "...Xiong Lord, it's not that I don't have my own selfishness in doing these things."

Chu An said: "Everyone has selfishness. But who is for the public and who is for selfishness, everyone can see. The eyes of the masses are discerning, and you have to trust the masses. I think you should soon be able to understand my previous selfishness. I told you about..."

"what?"

"A sense of accomplishment at the grassroots level."
