Chapter 41: Sad Departure

"Ahem...... cough cough ...... "In the crew assembly hall where everyone gathered, Aoba choked on Ping'an because of Ping'an's speech halfway through a mouthful of clear soup, and after finally stopping his cough, he turned to Ping'an with a wry smile on his face.

"What you're saying is a good solution, but I'm sorry, I like women, so even if Edward is willing to act with me, I really don't have the confidence to act without Anne seeing any flaws at all."

"What are you two talking about? Why do I seem to hear my name? ā€

Holding his own inorganic salt solution in his hand, in the past ten minutes, he has been lining up his position, and deliberately gave up to Edward, a member of the resource mining team who was injured in yesterday's battle and had to spend a long time to "print" his own organic food, until Ping An and Aoba had almost eaten, and then came to sit down at the round table shared by the two of them.

"Great, you've both eaten pretty much, so I don't need to drink a bland and tasteless inorganic salt solution while watching you enjoy your food, so I'm tormented and tempted."

"Edward, do you really believe what Aoba told you in the dormitory?" After drinking the soup, she asked Edward, who was sitting directly across from him, to try to get some support from him for her opinion, but was eventually disappointed.

"Saying, that's what Aoba said that he fell in love with you at first sight, and that he made up his mind to pursue you after sharing a bed last night?" Holding a clear glass in his hand, Edward, who was clearly convinced of his friend's words, had a bright and pure smile on his face, leaving Ping An speechless.

"Peace, I thank you so much for coming! You don't know, when I was in the military academy, how many students from different branches of the military came to confess to Aoba with shame or confidence, but they were all rejected by him with a sentence of "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in you". ā€

"I've always been worried, this guy Aoba has never seen the good of those girls, he is always so cold, and if he continues like this, he will be lonely sooner or later, and he will not be able to establish a family of his own. So, after 20 years, this piece of wood has finally been enlightened, so of course I have to fully support it! ā€

"Edward, has anyone told you that you are too kind, simple, and optimistic?"

I don't know what I said to Aoba last night, in fact, it was said once by Yayan a long time ago, but Aoba, who heard this advice, had no intention of accepting it at the time, and for a while I only felt that I was completely defeated by Edward's simplicity.

"Isn't Lotte bad? Crying is also a day, laughing is also a day, so what's wrong with me choosing to be happy every day? ā€

Raising his head and drinking the liquid from the glass, Edward, with a sincere smile on his face, solemnly persuaded: "Peace, think about it seriously!" Aoba is a very good lad, and with him, you definitely won't suffer. ā€

"I—" There was a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, but he had just said a word of peace, but he couldn't finish the sentence in the end. Because, as she had just predicted, Anne, who had not succeeded in blocking Aoba last night and had come to look for him again this morning, appeared.

"Brother, is what Edward just said true? Are you really after this peace manipulator, as they say you are? ā€

Holding her own inorganic salt solution in her hand, because of the stipulation that "the meal time of non-combat crews is fifteen minutes later than that of combat crews", Anne, who only appeared in the assembly hall at the moment when Aoba, Ping'an, and Edward had basically finished eating, was obviously deeply affected by Edward's speech.

"Brother, in the past few years, haven't you always ignored the love letters handed to you by your sisters, saying that you have no interest in falling in love? Why did all of a sudden, you change sex? ā€

Anne, who tried to calmly suppress her sad and surprised emotions, but uncontrollably slightly whitened her cheeks, reddened the corners of her eyes, narrowed her pupils, and bit the corners of her mouth slightly, anyone who looked at her could clearly infer her mood at this moment.

"Annie, you're here!" In fact, since he sat down at the same round table with Ping'an, he had been waiting for Anne's arrival, but at this time, Aoba, who deliberately made an expression of "how could you have accidentally heard our conversation", showed a gentle and cruel smile to Anne.

"Before you meet the person who makes your heart flutter, do you imagine who you are in love with, who you are marrying and who you are spending your life with? I didn't think about it before, it was because I hadn't met that person yet, but now that I have met him, I changed my original thinking and attitude, and that's it. ā€

Her eyes were full of grief and jealousy, and Anne, who turned her head to look at Ping An coldly, put down her water glass with a "snap", and then turned around and ran out of the crew assembly hall quickly.

"If she comes to me in trouble in the future, then I'll definitely settle accounts with you." Whether it was Aoba's refusal or Anne's sad departure, peace that seemed to her had nothing to do with her, and she quickly packed up the dishes and stood up.

Return to the dormitory not far from the mecha hangar, get into his photosynthesis machine, take out the freshly cleaned combat suit from the wall compartment that pops open like a drawer, change into clothes and then put on combat boots, and soon go to the mecha hangar with the same neatly dressed dormitory people.

In the spacious and open mecha hangar, like the squad leaders of other squads, Li Xiangnan, who had assembled the members of his squad, began the task to be carried out every morning.

"Today's mission is to enter the mine with the squads of the Resource Mining Team to mine and transport ore. In the process of the task, you need to work in pairs and cooperate with each other, so the team of our class is - me and Edward are in a group, and Aoba and Ping An are in a group. ā€

"As for Peter, your mech was damaged in yesterday's battle, and is still in a state of repair and commissioning, so it can't be directly involved in the operation. So your task today is to go to the mecha maintenance workshop and assist the mechanics to complete their work. Do you understand? ā€

"Understood."

Together with the three comrades-in-arms on his side, he touched his heels, and gave a military salute to the squad leader in a dignified manner, and soon boarded his A186, and then followed everyone to the vacuum cabin.
