Chapter 135: Telephone
Our protagonist sits in her new president's office every day, enjoying the finest food and coffee, painting the most elaborate makeup, and busily dealing with all sorts of things.
Everything seems to be calm and the work is getting smoother, but assistant Andy finds that the only thing that is different from the young boss is that she never smiles again.
She always leaves the big screen in her office on that occupies an entire wall, but she doesn't care about the news from all over the world, and she doesn't watch the soldiers in front of her energetically drill and prepare for war, and the screen is always the chaotic and bloody live scenes of the Third World.
These people are so ugly, strong and aggressive, let them mess around, and in the end, the allies will be dismantled, whether it is Dongyuan or the Federation, the big trouble in their hearts is eliminated, it is something that the whole country celebrates, why would she ...... Not happy?
Andy didn't dare to ask, only dared to keep bringing cups of espresso. The dedicated president hasn't been home for a month, whether it's anything in the sky or something underground, she has to worry about everything, and she is under too much pressure now, and she basically saves sleep.
Rubbing the corners of her forehead, it seems that this action is still what her husband is used to, and now she has learned it. Mr. is inspecting the front line, and she is the only one in the whole Dongyuan these days, and not only that, it seems that everyone has gone to the front line.
No one knows when the real battle will begin, with the warships of humans and Mars facing off on the planetary belt between the two planets, with each side eyeing each other to attack first. Mankind is much more confident than in the war 90 years ago, and having a space carrier for energy supply can greatly compensate for the technological and physical disadvantages of mankind. Moreover, the mothership is like a big umbrella, firmly blocking the sky above the earth, so that the war will not spread to the earth so easily.
Thinking of Ivan who followed the troops to the front line, it's been almost a month, I don't know how well he adapted, Irving's instructor training must be very strict, the instructor has always been ruthless, I don't know if he can stand it.
Called Andy over and told her, "Contact Ivan for me, I want to talk to him." ”
The assistant was a little embarrassed and said: "However, they are preparing for war on the front line, and Ivan has no position and seems to be unable to contact the outside world." ”
Oh, she almost forgot that in order to ensure that front-line information is not leaked, no one below the rank of senior officer is allowed to contact family and friends without permission.
That...... She thought for a moment, then ordered, "Then contact Colonel Owen, they should be together." ”
After saying that, she lowered her head and continued to deal with business, Andy asked, "It's connecting, do you want to talk or project." ”
"Projection, I'll see if he's sturdy." She was absentmindedly busy with the things at hand, and said without raising her head.
There was silence for a while, and just when she was about to forget to call, a deep male voice suddenly sounded out of thin air, "Are you looking for me?" Why don't you talk again? ”
She looked up suddenly, and the tall man in front of her was looking at her through the projection, naked, wearing only a pair of military camouflage pants, the waistband of the pants was loose, and the tight six-pack abs were exposed, and then ...... She didn't dare to look, only dared to look up at his solid and broad shoulders, the light wheat skin wrapped in just the right layer of muscles, shining in the bright lights of the mothership, sweat sliding down the smooth skin one by one, full of strong male breath......
Her face suddenly glowed with a layer of red light, and she raised her gaze a little overwhelmed, allowing herself to face his well-defined face, and said a little uncomfortably: "Professor, instructor, you are still training, sorry to disturb...... Why don't I call at another time? ”
"It's okay, you can tell you something. I've been training these days, out of the way. He continued to look at her indifferently, "What's the matter with being so anxious to find me, or what's the situation with Dongyuan?" ”
She pretended to be calm and said: "No, no, no hurry, everything is fine, I just asked about Ivan's situation, nothing else." ”
"Ivan, this kid is good, he is a good material, but he is a little younger, I will hand it over to Lao Jiu and them to collect intelligence or something. Wait, I'll have someone call him. ”
"Oh, good." Owen arranged for someone to go to Ivan, and when he was free, there was silence for a while, and she said without words: "Instructor, you...... Why don't you go get dressed first, and talk like this, like, uh-"
"I'm going to take them on for a while, and I'm going to have to worry about it. What's wrong? What's wrong with that? Owen looked down at himself strangely, as if he was not dissatisfied with his sturdy and well-proportioned body, and suddenly, he curled the corners of his thin lips, raised his head and smiled at her, "There are no women in the army except for medical soldiers, everyone is used to wearing like this." Isn't it...... You're not comfortable yet? ”
Liang Chu tugged at the corners of his mouth, his eyes looking around, "Indeed...... It's a little uncomfortable. ”
He smiled a little wider, and deliberately straightened his firm chest to stand straighter, "That's it, then you can get used to it." ”
“……”
.
Ivan's arrival finally relieved this awkward chat, and as soon as he walked into the video range, he excitedly chattered towards Liang Chu. What a mothership is super super big like a city, how beautiful it is in space, and the daily training is hard but very interesting......
Liang Chu and Owen stood in place and listened to him, this kid is very optimistic, you can imagine how dazzling his existence as a hybrid is in the front-line troops that are all humans, and how easy it is to arouse hostility, but he didn't mention anything unhappy, and told Liang Chu happily.
This kid is really sensible, of course, because Instructor Owen protects him well.
Liang Chu glanced at the instructor gratefully, and said sincerely: "Instructor, thank you so much." ”
Owen glanced at her and said indifferently: "What is there to thank, this kid is good himself, otherwise no one can help him." ”
She smiled brightly, and there was a sense of pride that her own child was praised by the teacher.
He continued: "It's you, the situation in the rear is so chaotic now, don't make decisions about what happens." It's time to change your impulsive problem, no longer in school, and no one will take care of you when something happens. ”
"Well, thank you, instructor, I'm very sensible now, you can rest assured!"
"I'm not worried about anything." Owen shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "Now that you have Mr. to teach, there will definitely be no problem listening to him." But be careful and take care of yourself. ”
"Uh-huh!" She nodded repeatedly, looking like a good girl, completely without the calm and wise image of the female boss in front of everyone, and like a female student who returned to school, listening carefully to the teacher's teachings.
Owen curled the corners of his lips and smiled, although it was a virtual portrait, he still stuck out his head and patted her head, and the chat ended here, and the two said goodbye.
"Goodbye instructor, goodbye Ivan!"
"Auntie, remember to take care of your body, have you lost weight recently?" Ivan interjected worriedly.
She touched her virtual little face fondly, "Auntie is in good health, when you come back from victory, Auntie will take you to eat delicious food!" ”
"Surely, Auntie's words count!" Ivan hasn't been to a human restaurant yet and is looking forward to it.
"Of course! Take care and see you soon! ”
The two figures disappeared from sight in an instant, Liang Chu nested in the chair alone and thought about it, opened the drawer in front of him, took out the tender yellow bird given by Instructor Owen, and held it in the palm of his hand to look at it.
The bird is also called "Ah Ling" in memory of her predecessor who gave his life for her. But it's a little smaller than the original one, and the signal is stronger. Ah Ling chirped, beating happily in the palm of the master's hand, as if pecking at her palm, itchy, very comfortable.
"Ah Ling, you said they would come back safely, right?" She looked at it worriedly, stroking its furry body one at a time.
"Chirp, tweet!" Ah Ling understood and comforted her seriously.
Yes, everything will be fine, she believes. Ninety years ago, didn't humanity finally win a crushing victory in that unprepared war? But at the cost of nearly halving the planet's population. This time, with such ample preparation, it should be ...... It's going to be easier to win, right?
She held Ah Ling, touched its soft head with her cheek, and prayed silently: "I hope that the people I love and the people I want to protect will all return safely......"
After praying and resuming her full day, Liang Chu took a deep breath and lowered her head to continue her never-ending work.
