Chapter 60
Chapter 59 Celebration ceremony (below)
“Admiral…” Wu Qiao said in a daze.
“here I am.”
“Don’t sleep under the window, it’s easy to catch the wind.” Tan Yan said.
Wu Qiao stopped doing it after hearing this: “I’m in good health…I got the first grade in the glacier trek event… nothing.” That time, in the twelfth lunar month of winter, the army held a glacier trek competition. There were not a few people who participated, but Wu Qiao participated and took the first place.
“Good health, good health.” Tan Yan was helpless, “then go to bed and go to sleep.”
“How about you?”
“Let me accompany you.”
“Ok.”
Wu Qiao took off his major general’s uniform, reluctantly touched a few more, and then hung it up cautiously, then crawled to the inside of the bed and lay down obediently, leaving most of the area for Tan Yan, and beckoning Tan Yan to come too. Lie down together.
Tan Yan hesitated and left his shirt on him. He didn’t want to go to the bathroom again.
“Tan Yan…” Wu Qiao put his arms around Tan Yan’s waist, “It would be great if time could stop here.”
“Ok?”
“Just stay at this moment forever, we don’t have to go to war.”
Tan Yan couldn’t help but smiled: “Aren’t you changing the world?”
“…”
“It’s just a major general now. You don’t want to continue to be promoted, lead the troops to make contributions, help mankind restore peace, and make the world a better place?”
Wu Qiao: “…”
After a long time, facing Tan Yan’s ridicule, Wu Qiao sighed, “Yes.”
“Ok.”
“I don’t want to.”
“Oh?”
“In that case, I will be separated from you for a long time, and I will be very lonely.”
“…”
“So, no, I don’t know…” Wu Qiao said, stuttering a little.
“Do you really like me so much?” Tan Yan smiled, “Don’t want to benefit mankind anymore?”
“Yes.” Wu Qiao sighed, “Generally speaking, I still want to. It’s just that sometimes, I hope that time can stop for a while, so that I can also enjoy my own things.”
Tan Yan rubbed Wu Qiao’s soft hair.
Wu Qiao raised his head to look at Tan Yan.
“Hey,” Tan Yan asked Wu Qiao, “Are you kissing?”
Wu Qiao smirked: “Okay.”
After speaking, he put on a soft lips.
Wu Qiao’s heart was beating, and the throbbing came up again.
In the evening, Wu Qiao slept well.
In the past few times, after being promoted, he would have a magnificent dream of galloping horses.
This time, it turned out to be a sweet dream. In the dream, there is him, Tan Yan, and two children who look like themselves, just walking aimlessly along the long coastline, thinking about nothing. The waves scoured the beach unceasingly. There were many broken shells left on the beach. There were some black reefs in the distant sea. Year after year, they were baptized. Seagulls flew low in the sky and landed on their side from time to time. Pick up the scraps of snacks dropped by the children.
Wuqiao rarely goes to the beach.
He didn’t know how to have such a dream.
When Wu Qiao woke up early the next morning, Tan Yan was no longer with him.
“Tan Yan…?” Wu Qiao looked around and finally found Tan Yan and asked, “Why did you get up?”
“How did I get up?” Tan Yan frowned and said, “How else can I get up? The carp can stand up.”
“…” Wu Qiao said, “I mean, ‘how did you get up.’”
Tan Yan frowned again: “When I wake up, I get up. What’s the problem with you?”
“Okay.” Wu Qiao had to surrender.
Tan Yan is like that.
Sometimes, when Tan Yan buys something, Wu Qiao asks why he wants to buy this, and Tan Yan answers with just one word: Yes. Occasionally, when Tan Yan made something to eat, Wu Qiao asked why he made this. Tan Yan’s answer was still one word: Eat, as if he never understood what Wu Qiao asked about.
“Tan Yan,” Wu Qiao said, “There are still some activities in the military department in the morning. I take time off from noon and go home to see my parents and sister.”
Wuqiao is the capital star, which is quite convenient. I used to think about going out to war when I was in school, but I would miss my home again after going out to war. Once, my parents told Wu Qiao that fortunately, my sister likes to live in the ordinary, not the kind of tossing character, otherwise, the two children are tossing outside, the parents will definitely feel very lonely. Although they are a family, Wu Qiao and her sister have very different personalities. In the past, Wu Qiao did not appreciate her sister’s daily life of watching romantic dramas, helping friends’ feelings, and arrogant family affairs, but as time passed, As he walked deeper and deeper on the battlefield, Wu Qiao found that that kind of life was indeed very rare.
“Well,” Tan Yan looked at Wu Qiao over there and said, “I have already asked for leave.”
“What reason did you use?” Wu Qiao asked curiously.
“be honest.”
“Scared?” Wu Qiao was taken aback and asked, “The truth? What do you say?”
Tan Yan replied confidently: “I see my parents and sisters.”
“…Oh.” Wu Qiao was stunned.
Did you become a mom and dad sister so soon?
They don’t even know you yet!
Did they know that they suddenly had an extra son or younger brother…?
“Admiral…” Just when Tan Yan was about to change his clothes and go out, Wu Qiao suddenly stopped him?
“How?” Tan Yan asked.
Now, when there are no outsiders, Wu Qiao usually calls him by name. If you suddenly change from “Tan Yan” to “Admiral”, there are basically two possibilities: First, you are confused and called the wrong person;
Tan Yan analyzed it and felt that this “admiral” seemed to be a little bit coquettish, and it seemed to be the second kind.
“That,” Wu Qiao said, “could you… can you…”
“Say.”
“Oh,” Wu Qiao smirked and asked again, “Can you let me wear your general uniform and see what it looks like?”
Tan Yan: “…”
Tan Yan thought: This guy… he is not an admiral, so he wants to wear his clothes and live the admiral’s addiction?
Even if the essence is different, Shuangshuang is good?
“All right?” Wu Qiao asked again.
Tan Yan said, “It’s too big for you.”
“It’s okay…I don’t go out, just look.”
“…”
“Okay?” Wu Qiao leaned on Tan Yan, put his arms around Tan Yan’s waist, bit the collar of Tan Yan’s side with his teeth, and gently pulled outwards.
“…” Tan Yan looked at Wu Qiao, who was looking up and seeing him in shock. He asked: “When did you learn to act like a baby?!” Tan Yan always thought that Wu Qiao would never light up this skill point for the rest of his life.
“I don’t know.” Wu Qiao shook his head.
Wu Qiao had never thought of these things before. He is a very serious person, who admits death in everything. If it makes sense, things can be done; if they don’t make sense, things can’t be done. But… I don’t know what’s going on. After he was with Tan Yan, he felt the tolerance of the other party, and he became a little addicted to it. The more tolerant the other party, the more he wanted to experience it again, never before. The emotion of the past was so reckless in his heart.
Over there, Wu Qiao bit Tan Yan’s collar and pulled out.
“Okay, okay.” Tan Yan couldn’t help it, and immediately surrendered, pulling his collar out of the cat’s mouth, “Here you are.”
“Well, good.” Wu Qiao smiled.
Not even a word of thanks…
Tan Yan took off the military uniform he had just put on, and put it directly on Wu Qiao: “reach out.”
“Oh.”
“The other one.”
“Oh.”
Tan Yan lowered his eyes, fastened the buttons one by one, fixed the belt, and tidied the hem of his clothes.
Wu Qiao walked to the mirror and looked at it: “…”
It is indeed the general’s uniform, and it is the highest one. There are five stars on the rank, but it is obvious that this thing is not its own, and it is very awkward to look at it, and there is no place to fit it.
Obviously wearing Tan Yan was so beautiful, so beautiful that he envied him, so he wanted to try it, but the result was completely different from what he expected.
I thought it would not fit, I didn’t expect it would be so much worse, I didn’t see any majesty at all, it was just very funny.
I originally planned to take a photo too, but I will use it to relish the aftertaste in the future, but now I think it’s fine.
“What’s the matter?” Tan Yan asked.
“It’s nothing.” Wu Qiao sighed, “It’s not his own, after all, it’s not his own.”
“Ok?”
“It’s not mine.”
“Why not?” Tan Yan saw that Wu Qiao was not very happy, so he lowered his head and kissed him on his forehead, “I belong to you, and the clothes naturally belong to you.”
Wu Qiao smiled, and his mood became quite good: “You know what I said is not what I meant.”
He thought, why is Tan Yan so sweet talk?
“Wu Qiao,” Tan Yan lowered his head, then pulled out Wu Qiao’s belt, unbuttoned his clothes, and took off his clothes. “Don’t worry, you can do it someday.”
“Ok.”
“You are younger than when I was promoted to major general. Maybe, your genetic waste can really create miracles.”
“Perhaps.” Wu Qiao said, “However, Nietzsche said that if there is a miracle in this world, it is just another name for effort.”
“…Can’t you be humble?”
“I don’t need it in front of you.”
Tan Yan did not speak, bowed his head and kissed again.
…
——In the morning, Wu Qiao did a few things that the military required after becoming a major general.
For example, enter a signature. Wu Qiao thought of the big cat at the time of Tan Yan. He carefully confirmed it before submitting it, and finally determined that there was indeed no black spot on the signature board except for the signature. With Tan Yan’s lessons learned, he will never repeat the same mistakes.
For another example, receive various materials and be familiar with the rights and responsibilities after promotion.
There are also taking photos and filling in forms for reporters to write military merits and deeds.
Wu Qiao filled out one by one, and finally filled out the last form.
He looked at it for a long time, but still thought this watch looked strange.
Wu Qiao read it carefully and found that the list was full of open-ended questions.
The first part is very short and relatively normal. It asks a little about past experiences, but what is the second part?
The first question of the second part is: Do you have anything you want to go but haven’t been to?
Hmm…what a strange question…
Wu Qiao is empty for now, go to the second question: Do you have any food that you want to eat but haven’t tasted?
Hmm…what about the third question?
The third question is: Do you have anything you want to buy but haven’t bought?
Fourth question… Do you have anything you want to do but haven’t done yet?
…
Wu Qiao pondered for a long time, and thought this might be a special arrangement.
When the report comes out, there will be a paragraph in it: Wu Qiao has always wanted to be where, what to eat, what to buy, and what to do, but because of the war he failed to do it, making him a little sensational and raising his image.
Then… fill it in.
After thinking about the first question, Wu Qiao crackled a few words on the place that he wanted to go but never went to: Redwood Star.
Red Jupiter is Tan Yan’s hometown, the sixth largest planet in the empire, not much smaller than the capital star. The planetary scenery is very good, the ocean area is large, and the land is surrounded by the ocean. There are many beautiful mountains on the land, and there are towering redwoods growing on the mountains. In the past, when I heard Tan Yan talk about it, Wu Qiao wanted to go and take a look. The scenery was second. He wanted to see where Tan Yan grew up, walk around the seaside where Tan Yan had walked, and crawl to talk. The mountains that Yan once climbed, and the redwood forests that Tan Yan once walked through. Then…it must be a very beautiful feeling.
The second question…
Food that I want to eat but never tasted…
Just… Mahogany’s steak is ready.
In fact, Wu Qiao is not keen on steaks. The one who really likes it is Tan Yan. However, he is not enthusiastic about Wu Qiao, Tan Yan said that it is because he has never eaten the most top steak. Tan Yan said that in his hometown, the calf meat is very soft, rich in oil, evenly distributed in the lean meat, white in color, hard in texture, and not very hard. It will melt during frying, making the meat moist and juicy. It has a very silky texture. Unlike the steaks of Capital Star, it is always soft and oily. The color, texture, and fat mixing rate are also quite different.
In fact, Wu Qiao doesn’t think he can make a difference, because he has never had a big difference in Capital Star, and he thinks that restaurants rated A are similar to those without a rating. He is not too picky about the taste of food, as long as he is nutritious, he spends all his free time on reading.
However, when Tan Yan said that he would take him to eat, he really had been looking forward to it. Wu Qiao himself was not very clear about what he was looking forward to.
The third question…things that I want to buy but haven’t been able to buy…
Wu Qiao replied: A stronger chain.
Before, the button Tan Yan gave away, the ring and chain he often hung around his neck as a lucky thing was broken. At that time, the ring was almost lost, and he searched in the crow nine for a long time before finding it. Because he has been fighting outside, he has always wanted to buy a stronger chain as a substitute, otherwise, if he really loses it, he will be very upset.
The fourth question, what I want to do but has never done…
Wu Qiao started typing again: staying with a friend, doing nothing for a whole day, no need to think about anything.
This so-called “friend” naturally refers to Tan Yan.
I don’t know why, he really wants to try that feeling, just holding and squandering the whole day, instead of always thinking about the battlefields, or doing various things non-stop while on vacation.
It’s just that I really don’t know when this wish can be achieved.
Wu Qiao felt that on this form, it seemed that he shouldn’t write this kind of answer, and he seemed a little unsure about making progress, but at this time, he really thought that way, and he would not deliberately lie.
Wu Qiao clicked “Submit”.
On the other side, as soon as Tan Yan saw Wu Qiao click on submit, he immediately removed himself from the final list.
He glanced at the answer Wu Qiao filled in: “…”
Tan Yan thought, it seems, I saw something amazing…
When asking Wu Qiao these questions, Tan Yan didn’t want to see this.
He just wanted to know what Wu Qiao wanted.
It can be seen from the file that Wu Qiao’s birthday is approaching, and Tan Yan wants to surprise him.
He thought that in a person’s life, there will be some things that have been missed, and those things will become regrets, and will always be in his heart. If one day is realized, he will definitely feel very excited. For example, an event that I wanted to go to but failed to achieve, a restaurant that I wanted to eat but closed down, a product I wanted to buy but sold out, something I wanted to do but couldn’t be achieved.
But, unexpectedly…
All of Wuqiao’s wishes are related to himself.
“…” Tan Yan smiled, carefully saved the form, and then connected to Wu Qiao’s communication equipment, “Wu Qiao.”
“Ok?”
“Are you ready? I can go.”
“Ah…oh, good.”
“That’s waiting for you at the door.”
“Yeah.” Wu Qiao said, “see you in twelve minutes.”
“…”
This is a habit of Wuqiao.
He will give people a very precise time. He will not waste other people’s time for others to wait for him, nor does he like to wait for others to waste his time.
After seeing Tan Yan, Wu Qiao was taken aback.
“What’s the matter?” Tan Yan asked.
“You…you…” Wu Qiao’s eyes straightened, and he stammered and asked Tan Yan, “Why do you dress so handsome today…”
Wu Qiao usually sees Tan Yan, and the other party always wears a military uniform. The uniform was straight, without any wrinkles, and looked very tall and straight.
At this time, she was dressed in casual clothes, and she felt completely different in normal times.
When I went to learn to walk that day, Tan Yan was dressed in casual clothes, but more casual, not the same as today.
Tan Yan is relatively formal now, in a state between military uniforms and casual clothes.
“Look at the look in your eyes,” Tan Yan looked at Wu Qiao, “excellent from the **** mania.”
“I, I’m not…”
“Dare to say you don’t have any ideas?”
“…” Wu Qiao said nothing.
Wuqiao’s home is not close to the military headquarters.
It took them ninety minutes to get to the ground transportation hub nearest to Wuqiao’s home by air transportation, and then another half-hour ground shuttle before they stood at the gate of their destination at 3 o’clock in the afternoon.
Tan Yan didn’t use the transportation rationed by the military because he felt it was difficult to drive to such a place.
Wu Qiao took out the key to open the door, thought for a while, took it back, and solemnly rang the doorbell.
“Which one?” the sister’s familiar voice remembered.
“Sister, it’s me, Wu Qiao.”
“The little dead boy won’t open the door by himself?!”
Wu Qiao: “…”
“Sister,” he said, “didn’t my parents tell you? I also brought the guests.”
“…” Ten minutes later, my sister was dressed neatly before coming over and opening the door.
Tan Yan looked at her, she looked a lot like Wu Qiao, was about twenty-five or sixteen, and she was a very beautiful girl.
“Hmm…hmm…?” My sister was stunned when she saw Tan Yan, “This one is…?”
“Go in and talk.” Wu Qiao whispered.
“……Oh.”
After entering the house, Wu Qiao found that his parents seemed to be older.
This is strange.
It stands to reason that his parents are in their 50s and they are still very young in this era, but Wu Qiao still feels that in the past few years in the foreign war, his parents have gradually lost the original spirit.
“…”
“Is this the guest you are talking about?” the parents asked.
“Oh, yes.” Wu Qiao said sideways, letting Tan Yan out, “Parents, this is my…that… be a lover.”
Tan Yan turned to look at Wu Qiao, and asked, “Am I also called Mom and Dad?”
“Yujiu said it’s not that fast.” Wu Qiao replied in a low voice, “Uncle and Auntie can do it.”
“Huh?” Tan Yan asked again, “Don’t you call your parents when you book a kiss?”
“…You listen to Ya Jiu.”
“Oh.”
These things, Ya Jiu knows best.
Therefore, before Wu Qiao set off, he had all asked Ya Jiu.
Even the gifts that Tan Yan brought were picked by Ya Jiu himself. He went to the military shop and picked a few in the end. Because it was buying gifts for Tan Yan, and dragging Long Yuan up, saying that it was his owner’s business, Wu Qiao actually didn’t understand how Ya Jiu’s IQ suddenly increased.
Wuqiao’s parents and sister: “…”
Tan Yan greeted him, handed over the gift, and sat down to chat—actually a “chat” asking for information.
“That…” My sister asked, “How old are you this year?”
Wu Qiao said for him: “Almost thirty-three.”
“Oh,” my sister asked again, “what’s your job?”
“This…” Wu Qiao hesitated.
As a person under the protection of the military, Tan Yan should not be able to reveal his identity, so even the name just mentioned is fake.
If they are members of the military department, it may be more troublesome. They will ask about their rank, position, which unit they are in, and what wars they have participated in… They are really not good at lying, maybe they will reveal it sometime. filling.
Thinking of this, Wu Qiao whispered: “No job.”
After speaking, he felt that there was an awkward silence around him.
Wu Qiao: “…?”
Sister Wu Lu looked at Wu Qiao, but she didn’t expect that her younger brother turned out to be a face-controlling, lustful ghost.
As long as the other person looks good, nothing else matters.
In fact, it is nothing if there is no job. In this era, there is no need for so much labor. Many men and women are at home.
It’s just…people like Wu Qiao, who are like people who have been beaten every day, I really don’t see that they would like this.
And that lover… looks too arrogant and doesn’t seem to be able to take good care of the family at all.
“Um, I’m sorry,” my sister said again, “you just froze for a while, not that you have any comments.”
“Ok.”
“It’s just that we all thought that a military control like Wu Qiao would bring back a soldier who was also a soldier, who didn’t react for a while, so he didn’t speak.”
“…”
“You know what,” Zhang Luo’s sister who had been working with Zhang Luo’s family made a joke to ease the atmosphere. “When Wu Qiao was young, when he was twelve or thirteen years old, someone asked him who he would marry in the future, and he said he would marry General Tan Yan. .”
Tan Yan: “…”
When Wu Qiao was twelve or thirteen years old, he was not an admiral, but he had fought a few beautiful battles, showing what was considered to be an amazing talent for fighting, and was regarded by some as a hero and hope for the future of the empire.
My sister said again: “At that time, he put up a big poster of the general in the room.”
Tan Yan: “…”
This matter has a vague impression on Yan Yan. After a certain battle, he was portrayed as an idol. At that time, Sean suggested that he should be protected from showing up in public to avoid accidents, so he found a stand-in to attend various events for him. He was photographed, and there seemed to be some “him” posters on the market at that time.
“Sister.” Wu Qiao said with a black face, “Don’t talk nonsense.”
