When Nikolai first arrived, she was still wearing her signature short men's haircut, although she looked very delicate and her body was thinner than that of normal men, but if you didn't look closely, it was really not easy to find her female identity. At first, Little Candy called her uncle, and later she teased Little Candy that she had to call her "sister". Little Candy didn't want to believe it at first, until once Nikolai helped her take a bath, and after that, Little Candy called her "sister" again. With "Daddy" on one side and "Sister" on the other, Weiss found it embarrassing and funny, but Nikolai didn't care at all. After a while, it dawned on him that Nikolai was trying to express the fact that she was younger than Professor Yang.

Nearly a month later, Professor Yang finally sent a telegram telling Weiss that she would be leading this year's research internship team in a few days, more than doubling the number of students compared to last year, and two teaching assistants were on board. Weiss was not surprised by this, because this is the positive effect of "buying horse bones" - the year before, he gave generous subsidies and incentives to teachers and students of the School of Geography and Geology who came to Lorraine for internship and research. For students who are still in the school stage, the internship is the same everywhere, there is not much difference, but coming to Lorraine for an internship not only learns something, but also has a monetary reward that is no less than any part-time job, for them, it is a beautiful memory, for the younger students and even the faculty of the college, it is a cake with a sweet smell.

On the other hand, Lorraine's large territory and abundant products deserve more energy to be explored and explored. The previous exploration by the intern research team led by Professor Xiao Yang nominally covered a third of the area of Lorraine, but this coverage is only in terms of the scope of activity, and there are many places where mineral deposits are likely to be discovered have not been explored in depth and substantially. In addition to this, there are many unexplored areas in Lorraine. During the war, many guerrilla forces made full use of the geographical width and depth to deal with the enemy. Recall, in those particularly difficult years, in order to overcome the blockade of the Norman army, the resistance found a lot of resources that could be used through various local methods, such as coal mines, iron mines, and copper mines, and the "Lorraine guerrilla fighters" led by Weiss had secretly opened a furnace to make iron to provide raw materials for the manufacture of ammunition and maintenance weapons.

Hearing that Professor Xiao Yang was coming, Nikolai looked indifferent on the surface, but some changes in details were seen by Weiss, for example, she began to pay attention to her clothes, not only clean and tidy every day, but also carefully matched. Although her dressing style is still a neutral route, she not only has a private jet but also a "private airport" at a young age, but she has exquisite facial features, fair skin, and a little hair, so she can save a fresh and pleasant feminine charm without heavy makeup.

After dinner and a walk by the lake, Nikolai asked a lot about the internship and research of the teachers and students of the Ulster University of Technology, and even about how they would settle down. The year before, due to the rush of time, Weiss used the Château Clumberg-Heisen as the base camp for exploration and surveying, and the teachers and students lived here when they returned from their field trips. Nowadays, the factories and dormitories in the Canal Industrial Zone are quite complete, and the exploration and survey is biased towards the two fields of mineral mining and civil engineering, and the focus of the Klumber-Heisen family is manufacturing, so it is actually more appropriate to settle Professor Xiao Yang and his party in the Canal Industrial Zone, and Totenbell and Palach are indeed actively proposing. Later, the "Big Seven" of the alliance negotiated a compromise plan, that is, Professor Xiao Yang and his daughter lived together at the Château Klumberg-Heisen, and the teaching assistants and students could choose between the old castle and the high-end dormitory in the industrial area. The grouping of teachers and students for exploration and survey is basically the same as last year, but the exploration team is fully manned and can be divided into two teams, while the survey team is still a group of people. In the next few years, the Metallurgical and Mechanical Colleges of the Ulster University of Technology will send internship teams one after another, and the Canal Industrial Zone will become even more lively, which will become the training base of the Ulster University of Technology in the western part of the Federation, which will play a positive role in recruiting middle and high-end talents for the Lorraine Industrialists Union.

Weiss told Nikolai that after Professor Yang and his entourage arrived in Mason, they would normally come to Somsonas by car or boat, and then split up according to the exploration plan for this phase. Nikolai proposed that Professor Xiao Yang and his daughter had been separated for a long time, and they must have hoped to get together earlier, and the weather did not look bad these days, so she could fly to Mason to pick up people, and as for the other teachers and students who were traveling with her, they could just take a car and a boat according to the original arrangement.

In Weiss's view, flying a plane to pick up people is simply a matter of adding to the problem. But in connection with Nikolai's abnormal performance in the past two days, Weiss couldn't help but wonder what she was thinking - did she want to have a good relationship with Professor Xiao Yang in advance? Or do you create an opportunity for the two of you to be alone and talk about something? It is said that a woman's heart and a needle under the sea can really guess it, but no matter what, with Nikolai's person, he will definitely not do things that say bad things about Weiss behind his back or deliberately drive away Professor Xiao Yang. Moreover, the plane was undoubtedly the fastest way to get to and from the Mason River Somsonas, and Weiss did not object, but asked about the take-off and landing sites. About a dozen miles east of the Mason train station, Nikolai said, there are large pastures that are open and flat enough for planes to land and take off, and that largely do not disturb the surrounding residents.

"Are you sure you can land there?" Although paying attention to the terrain environment is the basic quality of the commander, flying is really an area that he is not good at.

"We'll find out if we try it tomorrow." Nikolai said in a tone of nonchalance.

Forget it, let's consider it an attempt to explore short- and medium-haul air transport! Weiss thought to himself that in terms of flying technology, Nikolai was the number one ace in the Federation, and when Lorraine really began to establish a commercial aviation network, he might not be able to hire pilots of this level to open up routes.

The next day was a sunny day, and Nikolai got up early to overhaul the plane and refuel. Just in case, Weiss called the office staff of the Union of Lorraine Industrialists in Mason and asked them to send two people, a car, and two barrels of gasoline to the ranch east of the Mason train station. With Nikolai in front and Weiss behind, the two took off from Somsonas on this private jet converted from the Federation E-attack plane, heading southeast for Mason. In this era, there is no air traffic control, as long as there are planes, as long as they do not enter the military restricted area, they can basically gallop in the sky as they like. Probably because of the tailwind, it took them only half an hour to reach Mason, which was faster than expected. Viewed from the air, the meandering Mason River runs through the city, with a bustling urban area on the west bank and a chimney-lined industrial area on the east bank, and the east-west railway line and the north-south Mason River form a striking cross. Nikolai deftly lowered his altitude and circled over the ranch east of Mason Station, when Weiss saw the black sedan and beckoned her to pull up nearby. The grass of the pasture looks very flat, but in fact there is still a gap with the standards of the airport, and no one cares about the potholed ground, because livestock do not wrestle here, but the plane is different, if the wheels get trapped, there is a high probability of an accident with a broken landing gear during high-speed taxiing.

During the landing, Nikolai showed her experience and skill as an ace pilot - after two low-altitude skimmings, she chose the final landing site, and landed successfully in one go, with almost no violent bumps in the middle.

After the plane came to a standstill, the staff of the Union of Lorraine Industrialists drove over to pick it up. Nikolai took off his flight cap, jumped out of the plane, held his head high and said to Weiss, "How is it?" Rest assured! ”

"With you, of course don't worry." Weiss laughed as he climbed out of the cabin in an awkward manner, and when he stood still beside Nikolai, he suddenly noticed that this guy had cut his hair last night or this morning, and had changed it back to the original short men's haircut with his ears exposed, so he asked curiously, "You cut your hair short again?" ”

"How?" Nikolai clasped his hands in front of his chest.

"Uh...... The previous one, which was just over half an ear, looked more sensitive. ”

"What does that feel like?" Nikolai asked.

"Rigidity with softness, rigidity and softness, heroic and refreshing feeling." Weiss uttered a series of words in one breath.

When Nikolai heard this, he immediately puffed up and said, "You should have praised me earlier." Now that I've cut my hair, you say, it's too late! If you don't cut your hair from now on, you will have to wait another month or two. ”

Seeing that Nikolai looked like a little pufferfish, Weiss couldn't help but laugh: "Hey, I know Mason has a good wig shop, let's go pick a wig when we have time, let me see how your long hair looks?" ”

"What are you kidding?" Nikolai glared at him fiercely, as if wearing long hair and a long dress was a humiliation to her.

Weiss spread his hands, indicating that it was just a joke. At this time, the staff of the Union of Lorraine Industrialists happened to drive the car next to them, Nikolai looked at the car and said: "Don't wait, let's go now!" ”

"Huh?" Weiss was slightly surprised, and he stared at Nikolai, wondering if she was angry. But judging from her micro-expression, it seems that she is serious, and this matter is ......

"Let them stay here and keep the plane, and we'll drive there." Nikolai said to Weiss again, seeing that he was a little hesitant, she raised her eyebrows and said: "There is only one chance, either seize it or give it up, and choose for yourself!" ”

Yes, the big guy is in a good mood and is willing to show off his female appearance, what else is Weiss to say? Idle is also idle, let's go!

Weiss got into his car and drove the Fed ace pilot to downtown Mason and found the shop that sold wigs. In addition to wigs, men's and women's dresses for rent are also sold. After entering the door, Nikolai looked around, suddenly turned to Weiss and said, "You don't regret it, do you?" Forget it if you regret it! ”

"Regrets?" Weiss smiled and shook his head, "Why should I regret it?" Are you afraid to see your long hair and feel spicy? No, no, don't worry! My mental adaptability is still very strong. ”

Nikolai snorted, quickly picked out a black wig, asked for a dress and a pair of boots, and asked the clerk to take it to the fitting room inside. After the people left, the owner of the shop, a bald uncle in a tailor's sleeve, threw a puzzled look at Weiss from behind the counter, as if to ask: "This ...... just now Is it a heroine?

Could it be a women's clothing boss? Weiss gave Uncle a disgusted look.

Nikolai was very happy to pick out the wig and clothes, but stayed in the fitting room for more than ten minutes. At first glance, Weiss was waiting with peace of mind, but after a long time, he remembered the movies and television scenes he watched a long, long time ago, and couldn't help but speculate: Is it shocking for Nikolai to appear in women's clothing for a while? Or is it a blind dog's eye? Well, no matter what, no matter how funny it is, you can't laugh, you can't laugh if you hold it, you can't laugh......

Just when Weiss was a little distracted, he suddenly heard someone fake coughing twice, followed the reputation, and was stunned for a moment. At first glance, I feel as if I have seen a fairy coming out of a painting, and I am haunted by the breath of dreams. In terms of absolute appearance, the women's version of Nikolai can't be compared with Octavier's iceberg beauty, and in the eyes of irrelevant people, it is slightly inferior to Professor Xiao Yang, but for Weiss, a good brother and good friend for many years will one day appear in front of him with such a pure little beauty, with a shy expression on his face, which is even more intoxicating than the strongest wine!

Seeing Weiss's stunned straight man's appearance, Nikolai picked up the hem of his skirt with both hands and flew on his leg, but Weiss not only didn't feel pain, but also sighed in her heart that her feet were too small to wear military boots, and the size was just right when she wore women's boots.

"I knew you'd regret it!" Nikolai crossed his hands on his waist, obviously in a regular posture, but at the moment it seemed to Weiss that he was a brutal and cute appearance. He scratched his head, smiled and said, "Regret what?" ”

"Do you think that from now on, we can still get along with each other as brothers as we did in the past?" Nikolai said.

Weiss didn't answer immediately, but tried to look at her with a neutral eye. I have to say that she has delicate facial features, fair skin, and long black hair and light-colored skirts complement each other, but in general, she is still a beautiful little girl with a delicate appearance, fresh temperament, and a refreshing feeling. There are thousands of women in this world, with their own faces, shapes and temperaments, some people like tall, cold, and good-looking types, Octavier is a representative, and some people like graceful and delicate women, and Gunevere can also be used as a representative. From the worldly point of view, Nicolai's female "hardcore" is not superior enough, the curves are not graceful enough, the eyes are not big enough, the neck is not long enough, and the limbs are not thin enough, but the ancients have clouds, and the eyes of lovers are out of the West. If you want to change the relationship, how to deal with her advanced unmarriage and Dink thinking?

These thoughts became a ball of yarn in my head, and I cut them and made a mess. When Weiss put aside all kinds of contradictory thoughts for the time being, he found that Nikolai had changed back to his usual outfit, and suddenly regretted it: why did he forget to take a photo of her as a souvenir!
