Face Slapping the General

Chapter 57 Celebration ceremony

During the half-day of the return journey, Wu Qiao has been clinging to Tan Yan.

He always wanted to hold Tan Yan, and didn’t want to let go.

In the evening, while having dinner on the battleship, Wu Qiao took Tan Yan into the restaurant downstairs.

Because Tan Yan was also on his ship, he specially invited the chef to prepare meals and prepared meals that were different from usual, although this might be an abuse of power.

However, Tan Yan finally came up, Wu Qiao really wanted to do something.

Tan Yan sat with Wu Qiao at the chief’s table.

“Admiral…” Wu Qiao looked at Tan Yan, his eyes gleaming, “Because you are also with you, I specially asked the chef to change the recipe.”

“Oh?” Tan Yan glanced at Wu Qiao, “Do you know what I love most?”

“I know.” Wu Qiao also looked at Tan Yan, “Steak, foie gras, lobster, and meat buns, right?”

“Ok.”

After speaking, Tan Yan sat in his chair, waiting for the food he loved.

Wu Qiao has this heart, and Tan Yan is very beautiful in his heart.

After a lot of time, the dishes came out one by one.

Tan Yan was stunned when he saw it.

Because all the dishes are what he hates most, and it can be said that he never touched them.

Tan Yan thought: What are these green things? It seems to be disgusting.

Oh my goodness, and the salad he hates the most. No matter what sauce is dipped in it, it’s hard to swallow. It’s almost the same as eating grass.

Okay… Maybe Wu Qiao likes it, so just leave it alone and wait for the dishes he likes.

As for these, let Wu Qiao eat it.

The result… Ten minutes later, Wu Qiao picked up the chopsticks and calmly said to Tan Yan: “Okay, you can move the chopsticks.”

“…Ok?”

Wu Qiao said again: “You can move the chopsticks, and all the dishes are ready.”

Tan Yan couldn’t believe what he heard: “Are all the dishes ready?!”

That’s it? ! This is what it looks like after it’s all up?

Where’s the steak? Where’s the foie gras? Where’s the lobster? Where’s the meat buns? !

“Yes,” Wu Qiao said calmly, “that’s it.”

Tan Yan: “…”

Wu Qiao: “…?”

“Wu Qiao,” Tan Yan was silent and asked cautiously, “Where am I not doing well?”

“Of course not.” Wu Qiao replied immediately, “Why?”

“…”

“Why do you think that?”

“Because,” Tan Yan hesitated, igniting those ghosts with his chopsticks, “These are all what I hate the most.”

“…” Wu Qiao did not speak.

After a while, he put down his chopsticks, stared at the other person’s eyes, and said seriously: “Yes, what you said is correct. I did it deliberately.”

“…”

“But,” Wu Qiao continued, “not because I hate you…but because I like you.”

“what?”

“I’ve already noticed it,” Wu Qiao explained to Tan Yan. “You only pick what you like when you eat. You don’t even look at the rest. Vegetables and the like are rarely touched.”

“…” Tan Yan really couldn’t refute it.

“This…no.” Wu Qiao lowered his eyes, “Insufficient nutrient intake is bad for health.”

“…” This sentence can’t be refuted either.

“Did you know,” Wu Qiao said again, “My diet is very particular. It is prepared according to nutritional recommendations. I should consume a lot of it, and I will never exceed the amount. Even if it is not tasty, I will eat it. After a while, I got used to it.”

“…”

“I,” Wu Qiao said, “I intend to live a long time.”

He is a man who wants to change the world. Naturally, his life span cannot be lower than the average life span. It is best to break through the limits of human survival.

Since Wu Qiao had this dream when he was ten years old, he has always paid attention to his diet and exercise, and never shortened his life because of his desire for pleasure.

Tan Yan: “…”

“I intend to live a long time…” Wu Qiao clenched his chopsticks, “Because I like you, so I beg you… to stay with me all the time, okay…?”

In this era, the number of people who died due to illness is much smaller than before, and most of them can be regarded as returning to the land at the end of their lives, so Wu Qiao’s words cannot be said to be taken for granted. Although, this is not absolute after all. In several countries, some incurable diseases will appear every once in a while, depriving people of their lives and making people useless, just like a species spontaneously controlling the number of mechanisms. The force of nature is far beyond human control, but it can still be regarded as a few examples.

Tan Yan’s life is so unscientific, Wu Qiao is really worried.

Even if you take some nutritional supplements, it is not as natural as it is.

What if… the general died when he reached his average lifespan, and he still had thirty to fifty years to pass, what would he do about those days?

With so many happy days to be together, Wu Qiao felt that he couldn’t bear it.

Based on this idea, today, he made some very nutritious dishes that Tan Yan usually does not eat, intending to give him the general what he needs for the body.

Wu Qiao originally wanted to keep one or two of Tan Yan’s favorite dishes, but then he thought that if there were those, Tan Yan would never touch other foods. After struggling for a long time, he decided to withdraw and take advantage of this opportunity. Concentrate on achieving the goal of “improving food”.

After listening to Wu Qiao’s words, Tan Yan sighed: “It’s just that you don’t love vegetables. Don’t you want to be like this? I’ll change it in the future. Don’t worry about me.”

“…Oh.”

“But,” Tan Yan smiled again, “Already like me so much? You want to be together for the rest of your life?”

“Yes… I like it.” When he said this confession, Wu Qiao’s voice was a little trembling, and he didn’t dare to look at Tan Yan, “I like you very seriously, and I seriously plan to spend the rest of my time together.”

“…” Tan Yan didn’t expect Wu Qiao to say it. It turned out that he was only going to tease each other.

“…”

“Okay,” Tan Yan’s voice was rare and gentle, “I will be responsible for myself. I have always been fine.”

“…This is what you said.”

“…” Tan Yan looked at the vegetables he had never thought of eating again, took a deep breath, held his breath, threw a sip of the vegetables into his mouth, chewed with his eyes wide open, and then chewed. “Guru” swallowed into his stomach.

As long as you don’t breathe, just chew and swallow, you won’t taste anything.

Wu Qiao: “…”

After a while, he asked stupidly: “You just…can’t stand it?”

“…Fortunately.” As Wu Qiao said, it should be all right in a few days.

“Otherwise, forget it…?”

“No.” Tan Yan consoled Wu Qiao instead, “You are right, these are for my good.”

“Oh…”

After a short while, Tan Yan asked uneasy: “Is this right? There is nothing else?”

He wanted to confirm, that’s all.

“Other?” Wu Qiao thought for a while, and then suddenly remembered something, “Oh! Yes! I forgot if you don’t tell me! And my favorite drink!”

“Oh?” Tan Yan asked, “What is it?”

Fortunately, fortunately… Tan Yan thought: Drinks are not too bad, right?

After all, it’s also a drink.

A drink, no matter how bad it is, where can it go.

Wu Qiao paused his meal, stood up and left. It took a full ten minutes before he reappeared.

Tan Yan: “…”

He saw two cups of green things in Wu Qiao’s hands!

The glass is sealed with two straws inserted into it.

Although the battleship has microgravity, just in case, the cup with an open lid is not used because the liquid will be easier to spill out.

Tan Yan felt that he was going to faint.

“What is this?” he asked.

“Oh,” Wu Qiao raised his hand, and the green waves dangled, “Bitter Gourd Juice.”

“…what?”

Wu Qiao repeated it again: “Bitter gourd juice.”

Tan Yan felt it was dark. He had just promised his lover that he would eat all of them obediently, but he did not expect that there was such a terrible thing waiting for him behind.

He asked very hard: “Is that what people drink?”

Is there really a human being able to drink it?

“Of course it is.” Wu Qiao said seriously, “I drink a drink every two days. It is the best for the body.”

“…”

“Tan Yan…” Wu Qiao lowered his voice and looked at the contents in his hand. “You can taste it, it’s not bad, really… I put honey in it and two kiwis. I tried it for a long time. Yes, lemons, oranges… have all been tested, and finally found that kiwifruit tastes the best, so I dared to bring them.”

Wu Qiao drank it himself. However, he knew that Tan Yan would be disgusted. Therefore, Wu Qiao studied for a long time and added various fruits to try the seasoning. In the end, he found that adding a little sour tastes the best. He also experimented with a few sour things. Determined this set of programs. What to add, how much to add, are all tested.

Tan Yan smiled, took the cup in Wu Qiao’s hand, fiddled with the straw, and took a small sip.

Actually…really…not too annoying.

Tan Yan looked at Wu Qiao and asked, “How much time did you use to test this?”

“Huh?” Wu Qiao calculated, “About three nights?”

“Three nights?” Tan Yan smiled, “Don’t you waste every minute? To become a great man, hurry up and study?”

Faced with this ridicule, Wu Qiao replied very seriously: “I will not waste time, but I don’t think it is a waste of time.”

“…”

After a few seconds, Tan Yan spoke again: “Hey, Wu Qiao.”

“Ok?”

“Change the cup.”

“Change the cup?” Wu Qiao was puzzled. “The contents of the two cups are the same, there is no difference.”

“No.” Tan Yan looked at Wu Qiao’s lips and said, “I want to kiss you again.”

“…”

Wu Qiao understood.

There are so many people here, there is no way to do anything in public, but…

Blushing, he exchanged his cup for Tan Yan, and then took the other party’s cup, lowered his head, and bit the straw, feeling as if even the contents in it had become sweeter.

After being awkward for a while, Wu Qiao asked Tan Yan, “What do you think?”

“…” At Wu Qiao’s expectant look, Tan Yan smiled unconsciously, “In fact, it’s really good.”

“right…”

After dinner, Wu Qiao returned to the room and said something to Tan Yan.

At the same time, Wu Qiao was frantically complained by the base’s subordinates.

However, he himself did not know all this.

Just now, Wu Qiao upgraded the communication equipment of the base owner.

The first time you open the upgraded communication, the user will see an explanation.

Before Wu Qiao thought about it, he decided to write the explanation himself.

He described in detail the purpose of the section revision, new features, and usage guidelines.

In the end, Wu Qiao put his head in the blank space, indicating that this thing was written by himself.

Therefore, when all soldiers turned on the new version of the communication device for the first time, they would see Wu Qiao’s face and his impassioned words.

“Too narcissistic! Put a photo of yourself in the boot screen!” someone said.

“It used to be a text description!” Someone immediately agreed, “I have never seen anyone put a photo!”

As for Wu Qiao, after being crooked with his general for a while, he received a communication request from the Minister of National Defense.

“…!!!” The Minister of National Defense came to look for it himself!

“Brigadier General Wuqiao,” the Minister of Defense said calmly, “the Capital Star will have a grand ceremony. The welcome ceremony, celebration ceremony, and commendation ceremony are all three in one. Please be sure to go to the Capital Star before the day after tomorrow.”

“…Yes.”

Because of this sudden order, Wu Qiao postponed the celebration ceremony of his base.

He and Tan Yan spent an extra day and went directly to Capital Star.

After a long time not boarding the Capital Star, Wu Qiao is a bit like a world away.

It turned out that he was always outside.

Wandering seems to be endless. The capital star that was originally “home” is nothing like home anymore.

“The ceremony will start tomorrow, and there are no arrangements tonight.” Tan Yan said to Wu Qiao, “Traveling is also very tiring, and I don’t feel too sleepy. Go back early to rest and keep up your energy.”

Even in the low gravity, there is no bed on the battleship, and the sleeping bag is still fixed to the wall. It is almost impossible to sleep soundly.

“…No.” Wu Qiao said stubbornly, “I finally didn’t want to go back to sleep one night.”

Tan Yan glanced at Wu Qiao and asked, “Then what do you want to do?”

“I…” Wu Qiao looked at Tan Yan, but was quite generous, and said bluntly, “I want to take a walk with you.”

He read the love guide and thinks “walking” is good.

Walking, warm and romantic.

It is indeed a little tired now, and a walk can also relax, it does not require much effort.

“…Okay.” Tan Yan had no objection after hearing Wu Qiao say this, he asked, “Where to go for a walk? It’s on the street?”

“Go…” Wu Qiao thought for a while, “Go to our school.”

“…Hmm.” Tan Yan was grateful again for his stand-in for allowing him to sway outside with integrity.

Wu Qiao didn’t know why he wanted to come to school.

He thought about it carefully, perhaps hoping to recall the past.

Since graduation, his life can be said to have been turned upside down.

Old people left him, and new people came to him.

Wu Qiao couldn’t remember what he was like at that time.

However, when he returned to campus, Wu Qiao still did not overlap the current him with the former one.

Revisiting the old place, just knowing more clearly that youth is gone forever.

I didn’t cherish it at the time, and I was thinking of graduating and entering the military academy, and then showing my grand plans on the battlefield, as if the “young” thing was an obstacle.

Only when the innocence fades away, will you feel that you want to miss it.

There are many young and energetic faces on campus.

They are like Wu Qiao back then, full of longing for the future.

At that time Wu Qiao didn’t know, what was waiting for him was completely different from what he thought.

After walking for a while, Wu Qiao found that many people were peeking at Tan Yan, regardless of gender or age.

“…”

Tan Yan’s face is indeed eye-catching.

But… I don’t feel very comfortable for some reason.

Well…

Wu Qiao thought for a while, and suddenly stretched out his hand to hold Tan Yan’s hand.

“Huh?” Tan Yan didn’t seem to think of it at all.

“A lot of people are watching you secretly. It’s not ruled out that someone is wondering in their hearts, or don’t let them think.”

“…” Tan Yan didn’t go to see Wu Qiao, just squeezed his hand.

Not all students are on campus. There are actually a lot of people taking walks like Tan Yan and Wu Qiao.

It is now just after dinner, and many elderly, middle-aged people, and young couples with children are coming to hang out.

“It’s great…” Wu Qiao said with emotion.

Here, everything seems to be very leisurely.

It is really a rare luxury to be able to walk and walk like this.

In many places, there was gunfire and smoke everywhere.

In fact, even in Capital Star, where ordinary citizens cannot see, the situation is deteriorating, but not many people know it.

As Tan Yan said last time, several major banks have fallen into the hands of the officials. Then, these people who are walking, have they ever thought of what this means?

How long can this kind of leisure last?

“Yeah.” Tan Yan stared at a few children passing by and said, “Now there are only two of us. In the future, I will bring the children.”

“Children?” Hearing Tan Yan talking about this again, Wu Qiao felt a little funny, “You really like children.”

“Yes.” Tan Yan didn’t deny it. He started to build the future again. “In the future, we will have two children, a boy and a girl. The boys will look like me.”

“Ok.”

“Girls look like me too.”

“…Oh.”

“Boys have to have the same IQ as me.”

“…”

“Well, girls must have the same IQ as me.”

“…”

“At the same time, they have the same talent as me.”

“…”

“Their personalities follow me.”

“…”

“At the same time, they all inherited my good luck.”

“Wait,” Wu Qiao couldn’t stand it anymore, “Why are all the same as you?”

“what?”

“Is there nothing like mine?”

“You?” Tan Yan looked at Wu Qiao for a while and thought carefully, “It’s better to be like me.”

Wu Qiao: “…”

Tan Yan is a narcissistic person, which he has known for a long time.

However, Wu Qiao is also a narcissistic person.

He never felt that he was not worthy of the general next to him. Although, in the eyes of others, there is a little gap between the two at present, but Wu Qiao just thinks that there must be no problem in the future.

Because of this issue, Tan Yan and Wu Qiao argued for a long time.

At the end of the fight, Wu Qiao sneered and said, “Then what else do you need me to do, clone yourself and go, the child’s business has nothing to do with me.” Tan Yancai conceded.

It seems to be true… He has always hoped that he and Wu Qiao will be genetically fused with each other. It was the product of the two of them, some of them resembled themselves, some of them resembled Wu Qiao, it seemed…I didn’t know what was going on, thinking of this, Tan Yan was a little hot.

Wu Qiao took Tan Yan to several iconic “spots.”

While walking, Wu Qiao explained to him: “I liked reading in this garden at that time. Every spring and summer, the fragrance is full of fragrance. I sit in the middle of the garden and read books about fighting the enemy bravely.”

Tan Yan: “…” He didn’t know how Wu Qiao connected the two.

“Oh, next to the stadium,” Wu Qiao said again, “I used to run every morning to exercise my body during my three years in high school.”

“Ok.”

“There is still that small forest, can you see it, I will practice speaking there.”

Tan Yan: “…”

Tan Yan once again discovered how strong Wu Qiao’s wish was for being a soldier.

Now, because Wu Qiao is already a soldier, Tan Yan often forgets what happened to Wu Qiao.

“Then…” Finally, when he reached the artificial lake, Wu Qiao said in a low voice, “I spent the day when I learned that my gene was useless.”

“Wu Qiao…”

“I was really desperate at the time, but when I look back now, it’s actually nothing.”

I used to think that I couldn’t cross the barrier, but after all the efforts I looked back, it was nothing more than nothing.

My heart is calm, but there are more waves.

Wu Qiao found that the lake seemed to have changed a little, and there seemed to be no lotuses before.

“There is also the pavilion,” Wu Qiao said, pointing to the Huxin Pavilion. “The legend in our school says that if a couple goes to the pavilion together, they can stay together forever.”

After Tan Yan listened, he glanced at Wu Qiao: “Then shall we go there?”

“No.” Wu Qiao shook his head, his expression a little sad, “At that time… Su Yiqing and Ji Yao, where would they go often.”

Tan Yan stopped talking.

They often go there, but the result is that heaven and man are forever separated.

Until now, Wu Qiao has tried his best to avoid doing what Su Yiqing once did.

But, in fact, who can guarantee anything.

Only take advantage of the present, use all your strength, and leave no regrets.

“Hey, Tan Yan.”

“Ok?”

“I was thinking…”

“what?”

“After the ceremony, take a day off to go home and have a look.”

“Look at your parents and sister?”

“Yes.” Wu Qiao paused, and then said to Tan Yan, “You come back with me.”
