Section 26 Private time
It was Chen Weiyin who interrupted the escalating controversy in time.
This beautiful woman, who once connected two men, piled her long hair on the back left side, made a graceful bangs in front of her forehead, wore only light makeup on her face, and wore a sky blue long-hem gown, with an open chest and open back, without any jewelry, but radiating a charming glow.
Chen Weiyin took the initiative to invite: "Colonel Robb, are you willing to dance with your face?" Maybe we won't have the chance to meet again in the future. β
Robb said happily: "My face is already yours." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to hold the other party, and glanced at Jiang Ziyue on the side triumphantly.
Regarding this kind of behavior that is similar to showing off his might, Jiang Ziyue smiled slightly and faced it with a generous attitude.
Accompanied by a gentle serenade, Luo Bo walked slowly and leaned on Chen Weiyin's slender waist, and said softly: "The universe is very small, I believe this time is just a temporary farewell." β
"I've thought about it. After returning to China this time, he abandoned all distractions and studied his studies seriously. To hell with any wars, politics, and conspiracy. Chen Weiyin looked very resolute.
Luo Bo showed that he didn't care about her words, and said: "There will be big things happening between the two countries, and our federation will definitely find an opportunity to launch an offensive again." At that point, it's hard to stay out of it. β
"I'm going to do purely academic physics research to avoid this troubled world." Chen Weiyin emphasized.
"Actually, I've always wanted you to stay on the planet 'Andromeda', but now it's difficult for me to change the decision of the two countries, including exchanging you back." Robb said helplessly.
Chen Weiyin was silent for a while, but chanted Lin Changan's poem: "The clouds pass through the wind and the geese are traceless, Nianjun is bitter and sad in the past, and when he leaves and does not remember the meeting, he is destined to meet tonight." β
"Yes." Robb said optimistically.
Robb's ivory navy dress and Chen Weiyin's sky-blue dress are like intersecting white clouds and blue sky, dancing with a romantic atmosphere.
Seeing this pair of people who had to part but were reluctant to leave, the lonely Song Xiaoyu had a sour look on her face.
Song Xiaoyu, the daughter of the president of the Yingxian Interstellar Federation, is indeed "injured" a lot. Although she was still treated as a state guest during the detention of the New Roman Imperial Army, after all, she had been in the low-gravity "rubble" asteroid base for a long time, coupled with the long-distance faster-than-light voyage, and stayed on the surface of the "Taiji" planet for a month, and was uncomfortable due to the special environment of the eternal day and night, which made her physically and mentally collapse. Now in this crown-covered occasion, she has to endure being neglected and even ignored.
Although this time, the soldiers of the two major forces of the human world gathered here, and were drawn into a series of battles, largely because of her identity. At this time, Song Xiaoyu was still wearing the iconic princess hair, wearing a diamond-studded crown, and a pure white silk evening dress with a high-waisted puffed skirt with covered shoulders.
In the intertwined emotions of loss and helplessness, a gentle female voice sounded in her ears:
"Hello, Miss Song Xiaoyu."
The man was handsome, blonde and blue-eyed, and was dressed in a black soldier's dress with silver trim characteristic of the New Roman Imperial Army. She introduced herself in Mandarin Chinese, which she didn't sound fluent in:
"The Senate and the Roman People's Sergeant Dana Kira Pontic, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"How do you know me?" Song Xiaoyu was a little surprised, but her tone was still quite arrogant.
"We kind of have a common topic." Dana Pontick didn't answer her question directly, but instead looked at Robb, who was dancing slowly with Chen Weiyin in the crowd.
Seeing Danna's obvious intention, Song Xiaoyu asked vigilantly, "What do you mean?" β
Dana smiled at her attitude and said lightly, "It's not interesting." I saved Robb and even fell in love with him for a while, but then I realized that it was a very unrealistic first love. The current Dr. Chen Weiyin, too, is very unrealistic in love with Robb. β
"You're not trying to tell me that I'm the one who can really get Robb, are you?" Song Xiaoyu asked rhetorically.
"As far as I know, you're the only choice for him." Dana is confident in her judgment. Although among the three women who have had emotional entanglements with Robb, she is the youngest, the most ordinary, and even the education level and life experience are not as good as the other two, but she has extraordinary consciousness and good ability.
"Robb never gave me true love." Song Xiaoyu said dissatisfiedly, "It's not because of my identity that you're good friends with me. β
"Yes. It's all because of his identity, Robb can only give you true love in the end. He has told me before that I make him feel the innocence of love. The day before yesterday, Chen Weiyin told me that Robb said that he felt the romance of love in her......"
"You say so much to me, for what." Song Xiaoyu rudely interrupted Dana's words.
"Robb!" Dana didn't hesitate to call out the resounding name.
"What else can you do for him now?" Song Xiaoyu asked.
"I don't want him to continue to sink into a woman who has no future." Dana replied without hesitation, and then recalled, "When I first learned that he was a Bundeswehr officer, I decided to give up my feelings for him. Although I was still naΓ―ve at the time, I knew very well that falling in love with someone from an enemy country would not end well. What's more, Robb is now an important figure in the Bundeswehr. β
"The person you should persuade is Chen Weiyin, not me."
"It's harder to persuade someone to give up than to persuade someone to fight for it. And, on the other hand, a series of battlefield and diplomatic battles between the two major powers of the Empire and the Federation after you were captured, including negotiations and exchanges here, are all because of you. You alone have had to risk your life to fight for thousands of soldiers, including me. So, when you stand in front of the world intact, I don't want to see you sink into a depression because of your solitude. The young Dana spoke to the slightly older Song Xiaoyu.
Song Xiaoyu pondered for a moment and asked, "Dana Pontik, what does my lonely self-appreciation have to do with you?" β
"Yes, it doesn't matter." Dana replied without hesitation.
"That's enough." Song Xiaoyu said proudly, and then strode to the dance floor, walking towards Luo Bo, who was holding Chen Weiyin and stepping on the dance steps.
Dana stared at Robb, who she was walking towards, a slight sadness on her face.
"You still love him dearly." A familiar voice rang in my ears, and the tone was full of disappointment, but also full of sympathy and understanding. Jiang Ziyue had quietly come behind Dana.
Dana didn't answer until she watched Song Xiaoyu "snatch" Robb from Chen Weiyin's arms before she asked, "What about you?" First love Chen Weiyin, wife Lota Stoldt, or my chess piece? β
Faced with Dana's question, Jiang Ziyue also did not answer immediately. After a little hesitation, he said: "If it weren't for the fact that we were all wearing military uniforms and not in this public place, I would immediately hold you in my arms and let you understand that no matter who I have loved, I only love you now." β
Dana then turned around, looked at him affectionately, and said, "Since you love me, why do you care about identity and occasion?" β
"Yes, you're right." Jiang Ziyue said and immediately opened his arms, hugged Dana into his arms and said loudly, "I love you." β
This rather special public confession naturally won the surprise of the surrounding guests, and also won applause and blessings.
Seeing this scene, Admiral Shi Jingsheng, Deputy Minister of Defense of the Commonwealth of Immortals, immediately said to Admiral Cao Cuixin in a mocking tone: "Can I say that the conduct of your army has always been so unorthodox? β
This remark immediately caused a verbal fight between the two old women.
Admiral Cao Cuixin, the deputy of the Senate and the Roman People's Military Tribune, immediately shot back: "It is better for soldiers to love each other than to be a high-ranking officer but still dance with an enemy woman in their arms." β
"Don't worry, the officers and men of our army know how to abandon the dark and turn to the light." Shi Jingsheng emphasized loudly.
Because at this time, Luo Bo's dance partner has been replaced by Song Xiaoyu, but Chen Weiyin can only leave the dance floor in a huff.
"It's called half-heartedness. Of course, it's okay to say that it's uncertain, but it's a taboo for soldiers anyway. Cao Cuixin did not back down, but sarcastically mocked Robb's behavior.
"Two generals." Zhang Tianyi, the mayor of Chang'an, appeared in time with Beijing Mayor Xia Zhengxun, interrupting the escalating war of words between the two old women, "Please also enjoy the light, we sincerely invite the two of you to dance together." β
"I'm more than happy, Mayor Zhang." Cao Cuixin happily stretched out his hand to Zhang Tianyi, and by the way, put the wine glass in his other hand into the tray of the waiter next to him.
"There's nothing quite like dancing with the handsome Mayor Xia." Shi Jingsheng also changed his anger, and stretched out his hand to Xia Zhengxun with a smile.
"General, it's an honor." Xia Zhengxun's expression and tone were full of flattery.
Two old men in tuxedos supported two old women in gorgeous military uniforms to join the dance floor, dancing to the variations of "Shanghai at Night", which was a unique scene.
Neither Jiang Ziyue nor Dana Pontick are very good at ballroom dancing of international standards, and neither are well adapted to this kind of upper-class activity, even though it has become extremely Chinese. So, they left quietly, but met Chen Weiyin, who had just changed into dancing shoes, on the exit porch.
"Hello, Dr. Chen." Dana was the first to greet her.
"Hello." Chen Weiyin smiled and greeted the two. Although Song Xiaoyu snatched her dance partner in front of everyone just now and was extremely rudely insulted, she still looked calm. In the face of the president's daughter's strength and even arrogance, she doesn't seem to care.
"Hello, Vivi." Jiang Ziyue still calls the nickname of his first love in the old days.
At that moment, an awkward atmosphere permeated the three of them.
"Let's go out for a drink." Dana suggested.
"Okay, go to the Northern Expedition bar on the roof of the hotel." Jiang Ziyue agreed, "There is no restraint here. β
Chen Weiyin nodded and said, "Then I will follow the wise bald commander." β
The three of them went up to the Northern Expedition Bar on the roof of the Grand Republic Hotel and sat down at a table away from the bar. Not only can you look up at the starry sky, but you can also get far away from the other seats, so you don't have to worry too much about the conversation affecting others.
"Do you have any plans for returning to New Byzantium?" Jiang Ziyue asked Chen Weiyin.
Chen Weiyin didn't answer immediately, but raised his glass and drank the Imperial brand hop beer before saying, "I think the Senate's spy agents lurking on the planet Andromeda will prove that I have not betrayed the Senate and the Roman people, and then I can return to my work normally." However, I don't want to get involved in any more research on the 'easy' planet. From 'Taiyi', you also know what the essence of 'Yi' Star is, plus there are so many things these days, I really want to take a good rest. β
"I'm afraid it's like you have a saying, who is in the lake...... You can't swim ......" Dana is not familiar with traditional Chinese culture, and she said it a little squeaky.
"People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help it." Jiang Ziyue corrected.
"Yes. I had only planned to come back after completing my military service. I didn't expect to participate in such a big thing, and I knew such a top secret, I'm afraid I can't live an ordinary life anymore. β
"Your performance against the Dragon Slayer is not ordinary at all." Jiang Ziyue praised Dana, "I have been a soldier for so many years, and it is the first time I have seen people in the military department who are so violent, which is completely comparable to that of an interstellar marine." β
"When I was in middle school, I received very rigorous military training, taught by senior officers from the Police Department of the Public Security Bureau, in the same way that Interstellar Marines trained. Although I was often ill while training on the planet Iserlohn after joining the army, I was rewarded with the 'Outstanding Recruit' award. Power armor shooting and fighting have won the best results in the same period, but the physical fitness is lagging behind, otherwise he will definitely be selected for the Central Fleet Interstellar Marine Corps. Dana proudly showed off her achievements to Jiang Ziyue and Chen Weiyin.
"Admirable." Chen Weiyin also praised Dana. But then he gulped down the beer.
In the past, the bald Lota Studt was like a Valkyrie on the battlefield, and she joined forces with Jiang Ziyue to become both male and female, invincible. Now even the seemingly immature Dana Pontik has shown extraordinary skills and martial arts, and Jiang Ziyue is simply a match made in heaven.
Jiang Ziyue still saw the distress of his ex-girlfriend. This woman with a big brain, although she has high academic attainments, seems to have not only experienced ups and downs in this turbulent era, but also reduced to a vase of decoration in other people's lives. But Jiang Ziyue didn't comfort her, but said: "When you come back from Andromeda, your alcohol consumption has increased. β
"I've always been." Chen Weiyin smiled wryly as she spoke, "Haven't you changed a lot. β
"I've changed." Jiang Ziyue seemed very frank, "But I'm good, after all, I am fighting in the position of an officer, and I have not suffered much direct damage from the war." And, you see it......" He didn't continue, but looked at Dana Pontick on the other side of the table.
Chen Weiyin also saw it in her eyes, smiled and said, "Congratulations." β
"Thank you." Dana responded happily.
"Vivi." Jiang Ziyue said, "Depending on the situation, you have a deep relationship with that Rob. β
"Yes." Chen Weiyin nodded and said, "Actually, I was quite popular during my time in the Immortal Star Federation. Especially Robb and their family. As she spoke, a smug smile bloomed on her face.
"Please forgive me for being rude." Jiang Ziyue said with some concern, "Based on the current situation in our two countries and your identity, do you think you can have a good result with Robo?" β
"And Song Xiaoyu won't give up so easily." Dana said.
"The war will end someday." Chen Weiyin looked optimistic, "As for that Song Xiaoyu, apart from her background, what else can she have?" β
"I can still have a father." Jiang Ziyue replied, "If it weren't for catching her near the planet Andromeda, I don't think Federal President Song Tingrong would have agreed to exchange you and Li Jingxian and the others so easily." Similarly, if Robb becomes Song Tingrong's son-in-law, he will definitely be able to realize his ambitions more smoothly. I think you should have seen the problem at this level a long time ago. β
"Yes. So I was in Andromeda and deliberately kept my distance from Robb. We are not as close as you think. Moreover, Robb is also bound by his mother Luo Zhaobing. β
"Anyway, now that you're back home, your relationship with him has become slim. And, as the Senate has always done, you'll be under more scrutiny because of this relationship. Jiang Ziyue admonished Chen Weiyin with a serious expression.
Dana also added: "Just now Ziyue asked me to provoke Song Xiaoyu and make her take back Robb from you in front of everyone." β
"Why?" Chen Weiyin asked dissatisfiedly.
"It won't help much, but at least it will free you from Robb." Jiang Ziyue explained, "Of course, the media in both countries also have more to talk about. At the thought of Song Xiaoyu, the daughter of the president, rudely snatching a dance partner on such a major occasion, the media of the two countries will definitely vigorously use their imagination and pen and ink. β
"Thank you, but I don't think I'm tied down by Robb."
Jiang Ziyue hesitated slightly before saying, "I did that to let everyone, especially yourself, understand that you are far less to Luo Bo than Song Xiaoyu is to Luo Bo." This love is too much for you to transcend reality. Robb will inevitably choose Song Xiaoyu, no matter who his true love is. And you, even if the war between the two countries ends at this moment and a permanent peace is concluded from now on, Rob still has his ambitions and his career, which are precisely what you cannot help and even become an obstacle for him. β
"You see love as too utilitarian." Chen Weiyin shook her head in response.
It was Jiang Ziyue's turn to let out a wry smile and said, "A long time ago, when I fell in love with you, I didn't have any thoughts at all. At that time, love was very innocent, but you took the initiative to abandon me. Later, I finally realized that it is difficult for two people to have a sustainable relationship without experiencing life and work together. The reason why I fell in love with you was because of your beauty, but the gap between you and me was too big, and in the end my first love turned into bitter love. Later, Lota was born and died with me; Now Dana, for the sake of the country and the people, at the expense of her own reputation, performs an empty city plan to scare off the enemy, and it can be said that she will make history together. β
"The Star Destroyer is truly heroic."
Li Jingxian, a lieutenant general of the Imperial Army who arrived at some time, first issued a seemingly bold appreciation.
