Jian Shui'er took a shower very quickly. When the cook in the airport cafeteria brought the carefully cooked noodles to the table, she also came here and sat quietly and obediently across from Xu Le. From this point of view, she didn't look like a big star who was popular all over the universe.
The girl who had just taken a shower was wearing a dark green military shirt. The collar was tight, but because it was too loose, it always made people want to explore the scenery under the shirt. The fluffy and playful short purple hair was now smooth like a purple satin, sticking to her cheeks. There were a few drops of water at the end of the hair that were crystal clear. She was like a beautiful lotus flower lying on the quiet surface of the water, painted with a layer of strange color by the strange light. Her whole body was oozing wet like the morning fog, moving people.
Xu Le looked up and asked, "Do you want to eat some?"
Jian Shui'er tiredly shook her head and said, "I vomited so much that I can't eat anything. I don't know how you can still have such a good appetite."
After saying this, she put her head on her arms and rested her head on the table, looking at Xu Le's side face with a trace of curiosity and interest.
The young girl's face was slightly pale at this moment, but it also carried an unhealthy redness that was caused by the heat and running around. However, her sharp chin rested on her arm, forcibly turning her delicate and tired face into a bit of pure beauty. The pink cheeks around her lips were squeezed until they were slightly puffed up, like a cute little bun, making people want to take a bite out of them.
Xu Le's hand that was holding the chopsticks slightly froze. He suppressed the surprise in his heart and awkwardly stopped looking at her. He clumsily took the pepper bottle on the table and mechanically poured it into the bowl of noodles. He forced himself not to think that this national girl was staring at him. Relying on his instinct, he began to bravely attack the noodles in front of him.
He ate a column of noodles with his chopsticks and drank half a bowl of soup with both hands. The spicy smell of pepper mixed with chili rushed into his nose, making him very comfortable. Xu Le ate until his forehead was full of sweat. He was so satisfied that he actually forgot a lot of things, such as the battlefield last night, the smoking corpses in the wilderness and mountains, and Jian Shui'er who was sitting next to him and staring at him seriously at this time.
A bowl of noodles was finished. Another bowl of noodles was finished. No one came to disturb the officers of Luoqiu Airport. The empty hall was quiet. Only the two of them sat in a remote corner by the window. Only the sound of wind sweeping away the clouds sounded.
The morning light outside the window gradually crossed the mountain forest and shone on the surface of the building. The slightly white light penetrated the floor glass and reflected on Xu Le's sweaty face.
Jian Shui'er tilted her head and opened her big eyes to look seriously at this ordinary face in the morning light. She knew that this student of her father's would often have an incomparably natural and friendly smile on his face. However, in the cockpit of the mecha, at certain moments, when his smile would disappear and his face would become serious, there would always be some kind of wonderful light between those ordinary eyebrows.
Last night, during the thousands of miles of escape, during the mecha battle in the valley, she had been sitting quietly and obediently beside Xu Le. She had been shaken to the point where it was incomparably painful. However, most of the time, she had been seriously looking at the screen in the mecha, watching Xu Le wearing a helmet, watching him do many, many things …
The more she saw, the more she naturally knew, and the more curious she became. For a woman, curiosity was often a very fatal emotion. However, our nation's maiden had a calm enough heart under her cute and playful appearance. Thus, she was not like the daughter of the Nan Xiang family, who might ruin a person's life the moment she saw him. Until now, she was still just curious. Who knew what this emotion would develop into in the future?
Xu Le put down the third empty bowl and rubbed his abdomen in satisfaction. He used the sweaty sleeve of his shirt to randomly wipe his sweat and mouth.
Jian Shui'er suddenly opened her mouth and asked seriously, "Who did you learn from?"
Xu Le was startled, but immediately understood what she was asking.
In terms of mecha piloting, he had many teachers. For example, Bai Yulan, Zhou Yu, and even Li Feng, who he had sparred with before. He would never let go of any opportunity to learn and improve himself. Back then, he had relied on that strange mecha battle room in Li Hua University and that thin and weak young master of the Tai family to learn the basics. However, in the end, he only had one teacher. It was that teacher who had taught him how to discover, get used to, and use the trembling heat in his body.
"It was Uncle who taught me," said Xu Le very seriously.
Jian Shui'er's face showed a trace of peaceful sweetness and pride. She said, "So that father of mine is also very strong."
Xu Le smiled. On the beach outside the Golden Star Hotel, the young girl in front of him had not asked more about Uncle. Now, it seemed that those curiosity and doubts about her birth father had been hidden in her heart all this time.
"Uncle is a very impressive person." He gazed at Jian Shui'er and thought silently to himself that in this part of the universe, probably only that great military god could be a match for Uncle.
Right at this moment, the phone beside his hand beeped. Earlier, when he had entered the cafeteria, he had made a call. However, this planet was too far away from the capital ring, so the call took too long. Furthermore, that second lieutenant's authority was too low, so the call was only officially connected after he had finished his noodles. However, it had to be said that the speed at which he ate his noodles was comparable to a hungry ghost about to be reincarnated.
The time delay of in-universe instant communication could not be solved. After all, that involved a deeper level of research in quantum physics. Even Professor Shen was unable to touch upon this somewhat mysterious boundary.
Xu Le held the phone and listened to a woman's voice from afar. A woman wearing glasses and greasy work attire appeared before his eyes, but it could not hide her youthful face and great heart.
He smiled slightly and said sincerely, "Shang Qiu, I received your note. Thank you for adjusting that guy for me. It's very useful. Without this MX, it would have been very difficult for me to complete this mission. When I get back, I'll treat you to a meal. "
"Right, I've introduced a Cheng Fengshi to you. He has some very interesting things in his hands. See if you need them."
In terms of mecha, Shang Qiu, the first-level technical supervisor of the Nutshell Engineering Department, was unquestionably a genius. Although this genius girl was gradually getting older, other than her youthful appearance, her talent in mecha design had not fallen behind at all.
Xu Le's gratitude was very sincere because he had been very comfortable controlling the black MX that night. He knew very well that Shang Qiu and those colleagues in the engineering department must have put in a lot of effort in order to modify this mecha. Especially since they did not have their own control data, the amount of calculation required was terrifyingly large.
"Leaving a note in a mecha. If this was made into a movie, it would definitely be a battlefield romance that would attract countless young girls," said Jian Shui'er, looking at him with a smile.
Xu Le scratched his head. He really did not know how to explain it. There was indeed an indescribable sense of chemistry between him and Shang Qiu. Although the two of them had only been able to communicate remotely this past year, whether it was in the development of the MX in the past or in the creation of mecha tutorials later on, this pair of stunningly talented engineering man and woman had always been able to easily understand what the other wanted, thus forming a close collaboration.
However, this was definitely not the love between a man and a woman. It was just a natural attraction between living things that shared the same magnetic field. Xu Le thought so, but when he thought of the exaggeratedly soft breasts that had appeared in his mind earlier, he felt that he was lying to himself. He did have a good impression of Shang Qiu …
Right now, he did not have to think about the black-rimmed spectacles wearing Zhang Xiaomeng, but he would occasionally think of the spectacle-wearing Shang Qiu. Xu Le gripped the edge of the table tightly, gazing somewhat uneasily at the morning light outside the window. Suddenly, he thought of the young lady of the Southern Prime Minister family who had courageously expressed her love for him in the Wood Valley Manor. He thought of the warm, peaceful and comfortable feeling that beautiful girl had brought to him.
Suddenly, Xu Le came to a conclusion that made him panic. Could it be that he subconsciously liked all … girls who were worth liking? Then what was this? Amorous or universal? Promiscuous or lustful? Had he been led astray by that hooligan Mr Shi?
The morning light was a little blinding. Xu Le quickly turned his head, and then saw Jian Shui'er, who was looking at him curiously with her head resting on his arm. He saw that incomparably enchanting little face, that short purple hair that had always existed in his dreams. He could not help but feel confused and even panicked. He quickly stood up, prepared to get as far away from this national girl as possible.
Jian Shui'er opened her ink-black eyes and looked at him in confusion. She asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Le's voice was slightly hoarse. "I'm going to rest for a while first, and then I'll fix my mecha. In the next few days, I'll definitely have to go out on missions."
Jian Shui'er was shocked. She pointed at the white salt stains on the back of his military uniform and asked hesitantly, "Aren't you going to take a shower first?"
…
…
The afternoon sun shone warmly into the bedroom. Jian Shui 'er was nestled in bed, eating seriously with a bag of coarse grain biscuits in her hand while looking at the TV screen on the wall. She looked like she was at home, completely different from the scene of war that was going on everywhere on this planet at this time.
The Federation's army was fighting a bloody battle, and Jian Shui'er was not in the mood to live such a leisurely life. It was just that the Imperial expeditionary force's surprise attack plan had been foiled by the Federation, but the entire Luoqiu Spaceport was still in the highest alert state. Under strict military control, although she and Xu Le enjoyed the best military treatment in the spaceport, it was still very inconvenient if they wanted to go out for a walk.
Not to mention that the news on the TV was particularly important at this time.
On the screen, at the large gathering site of the Charter Square in the capital special district, President Pabre, dressed in a black suit, was reading an important announcement to thousands of ordinary citizens of the Federation under the sun.
"Dozens of years ago, the President of the Federation once said that this is a shameful day. Today, I want to announce to the entire Federation, and even the entire universe, that today is a day that is worth remembering for the rest of our lives … "
Speaking of this, the dark-skinned President Pabre paused for a moment, as if he was recalling the heavy history of the past. Gradually, a smile appeared on his face, and he looked particularly confident under the sun.
