For Duan Hengye, these ten hours were both long and short. He did not know what was added to the nutrient solution, but after he entered the cabin for a while, he started to feel sleepy. At the same time, the poison began to move in his body. A dull pain that could not be ignored spread throughout Duan Hengye's body.
If one had to describe it in words, this process was very similar to breaking the bones in the body and piecing them back together bit by bit. Because he was now in the nutrition cabin, Duan Hengye was surrounded by the dark blue liquid. When he first entered the cabin, Duan Hengye accidentally choked. The taste was not good. It was not very bitter, but it was extremely astringent.
Therefore, as the pain came in waves, the man floating in the nutrient solution could only clench his teeth. After an unknown amount of time, Duan Hengye finally fell into a deep sleep. The moment before he closed his eyes, he saw Meng Jinhuai standing quietly outside the nutrition cabin.
Duan Hengye did not sleep well at all. Because the pain in his body was constantly eroding his nerves, he had nightmares after nightmares in the past few hours. Duan Hengye could not remember the specific plot of the dream. It was probably the scenes from his previous life that kept replaying in his mind, especially the last moment when he was stabbed to death. It was repeated several times. In addition to these, Duan Hengye felt that he also vaguely saw the explosion from more than ten years ago...
The small window on the side of the room was gently opened. Warm sunlight shone through the window into the room. This was a beam of orange-yellow light. When it fell on the beige bedsheets, it was exceptionally warm.
It was now afternoon in Nan zhuxing. Along with the sunlight, a gentle warm breeze entered the room. It was mixed with the unique fragrance of some plants. Everything was exceptionally gentle.
After finishing the dream, Duan Hengye opened his eyes again. When he saw the light-colored ceiling, he felt as if a lifetime had passed. For a moment, he did not know whether he was now on Earth or Nan zhuxing.
Not sure if it was because he just came out of the nutrition cabin, even though Duan Hengye woke up, he still did not have much strength in his body. He slowly moved his fingers, then felt discomfort and stiffness in his joints. But soon, Duan Hengye found that he was in a good state. It seemed that except for the lack of strength in his body, the pain from before had completely disappeared.
Duan Hengye lay on the bed for a while with his eyes open. After he felt his strength gradually returning, he slowly sat up. At this time, the wooden door of the bedroom was pushed from the outside... .. Duan Hengye saw Meng Jinhuai...... and a robot............
..... After entering the door and seeing Duan Hengye, Meng Jinhuai smiled at him as usual, then walked to the bed and sat down. Although Duan Hengye knew that he had recovered now, after seeing Meng Jinhuai's expression as if nothing had happened, he was stunned for a moment … Meng Jinhuai's performance was really calm, as if the previous ten hours were just a dream of Duan Hengye.
However, this mood did not last long. Duan Hengye seemed to be born to not like to be the center of attention. On the contrary, excessive concern would make him feel somewhat at a loss.
After Meng Jinhuai sat on the bed, he slowly reached out his hand and tidied up Duan Hengye's messy hair on the pillow. Then he said, "Get up and have breakfast, a day has passed." After speaking, Meng Jinhuai stood up, then reached out to Duan Hengye and gently pulled him up.
At this time, Duan Hengye's strength gradually returned.
"Although the toxins have been removed, it will take some time for the body to fully recover." Meng Jinhuai turned around and said to Duan Hengye seriously, "During this period of time, the simulation experiment will be conducted, you should stay in Nan zhuxing and have a good rest."
Although Meng Jinhuai's words were not very harsh, combined with his expression, Duan Hengye read a bit of meaning from his words.
However, what the General said was not wrong. Now that the experiment had reached the simulation stage, Duan Hengye did not have anything important to do during this time. Although in his heart, he secretly planned to take advantage of this time to continue learning how to drive in Nan zhuxing. But after hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye nodded seriously.
Duan Hengye walked into the bathroom in his slippers. After a while, he saw that Meng Jinhuai was already sitting on the sofa in the bedroom, looking at the optical computer. Next to the General, the white porcelain bowl was still quietly releasing steam.
Seeing Duan Hengye come out, Meng Jinhuai moved his gaze away from the optical computer. After a while, the warm light in the room slowly moved to Meng Jinhuai's side. At this time, half of his body was hidden in the darkness, while the other half was illuminated by the light. The scene looked very beautiful, just like an oil painting.
After walking over, Duan Hengye sat on the other side of the table, then he took out the spoon from the porcelain bowl. Although he didn't feel anything before, after smelling the aroma in the bowl, Duan Hengye finally felt hungry.
Because of the special medicine, Duan Hengye has been on an empty stomach for a long time. He only injected some nutrient solution before entering the laboratory. Although the nutrient solution can ensure the consumption of physical energy, it can't eliminate the hunger.
Duan Hengye couldn't help but sniff, then he gently picked up the spoon. Not sure if it was because he was hungry for a long time, Duan Hengye tasted the soup and felt that it tasted really good, then he showed a surprised expression. After seeing his expression, Meng Jinhuai, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but ask, "How is it?"
"It tastes very good." Duan Hengye put down the thing in his hand and said seriously. As a person who doesn't know how to praise, although Duan Hengye's words were very simple, his expression was serious enough. After hearing his words, Meng Jinhuai leaned back in his chair with satisfaction, then he said with some pride, "I made this."
Although it wasn't the first time he ate Meng Jinhuai's cooking, after hearing his words, Duan Hengye couldn't help but show a surprised expression. Although Meng Jinhuai's cooking last time tasted good, it was just some simple home-cooked dishes. This time was different, from the rich ingredients at the bottom of the bowl, it can be seen that this bowl of soup was very rich. After all, Duan Hengye has been in this world for a while, so he knows that these ingredients are not easy to handle, and it is very difficult to make them well.
Duan Hengye guessed that Meng Jinhuai probably took a long time to prepare …
Ever since he woke up and saw Meng Jinhuai, Duan Hengye's heart was touched. Now, after knowing that the thing in his hand was made by Meng Jinhuai, Duan Hengye even felt that the bowl in his hand was heavy.
In fact, Duan Hengye could clearly feel that when he first transmigrated into this world, Meng Jinhuai was also gentle, but the gentleness was obviously perfunctory and routine. But now, Meng Jinhuai was obviously not as deliberately intimate as before, but the gentleness that he inadvertently showed was even more intoxicating.
In particular, Duan Hengye knew that he was the only one who could see Meng Jinhuai like this. In front of him, Meng Jinhuai was not a marshal of the Yetian Empire, nor was he a Black Star War God, he was just a normal man.
Duan Hengye wrote all his thoughts on his face, but he did not notice that the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up into a slight smile.
Meng Jinhuai also noticed this. Probably because the toxins had been removed, both of them were in a particularly good mood. While Duan Hengye was having breakfast, Meng Jinhuai gave him a brief summary of the progress of the simulation experiment over the past ten hours.
Time seemed to pass very quickly that morning. It seemed like they had only spoken a few words when Meng Jinhuai received a message from the Army and went back for a meeting. After Meng Jinhuai left, Duan Hengye suddenly felt a little disappointed.
Duan Hengye knew that he was a person who would easily get too immersed in research, so he did not turn on the optical supercomputer as usual.
After thinking for a while, Duan Hengye changed his clothes, then walked out of his bedroom and wandered around the House of the Marshal. As a top residential planet, Nan zhuxing's scenery was very beautiful. Duan Hengye had known this for a long time, but he did not have much time to seriously explore this place.
Now that he had a rare break, Duan Hengye finally started to explore this place that he had lived in for a long time, but had never really understood.
At this time, Duan Hengye's range of activity had entered the work area of the House of the Marshal. The morning was the busiest time of the day, so the corridor and the outdoor garden were quiet. If no one said anything, no one would think that this was the work area of Nan zhuxing. Instead, they would think that it was a quiet and uninhabited park.
Not long after, Duan Hengye met an acquaintance here — Yu Xinlan.
Actually, General Yu was originally here to work. She had just finished a meeting when she turned around and saw Duan Hengye in the corridor. Duan Hangye heard a series of footsteps beside his ears. He raised his head and saw Yu Xinlan, who was wearing a white dress, walking quickly towards him.
After seeing Duan Hengye, Yu Xinlan was very happy. She first looked at Duan Hengye from afar and said, "Just now, the marshal said that you have recovered, so I was hesitating whether to come and see you. I didn't expect to see you here."
After that, Yu Xinlan clicked her tongue and said, "It seems like you have recovered well. You don't know … How nervous the marshal was before." Even though Yu Xinlan's tone was a bit exaggerated, Duan Hengye could tell from her relieved expression that she wasn't lying.
However, when he woke up, Meng Jinhuai was clearly very relaxed …
She saw Duan Hengye's slightly confused expression. Yu Xinlan immediately understood what happened. Therefore, Duan Hengye saw Yu Xinlan's expression change. Then, she suddenly said to him in a serious tone, "When you were in the nutrition cabin, the marshal was outside the whole time. He didn't rest for a minute … After the experiment ended and he came back here, he also moved all his work here."
Yu Xinlan paused for a moment, as if she was thinking. After a while, she continued, "In short, after knowing each other for so many years, this is the first time I've seen the marshal put his work second place."
When Duan Hengye heard Yu Xinlan speak, he couldn't help but look down at the carpet under his feet. He didn't notice that at the same time, Yu Xinlan had been silently observing him.
Seeing that Duan Hengye didn't respond for a long time, Yu Xinlan finally patted Duan Hengye's shoulder again and sighed. "The marshal has really changed …"
Recently, Yu Xinlan often saw the "undercurrent" between Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai. But after a long time, she realized that compared to Dongfang and Wen, these two actually felt like they were in a relationship when they were students. Although this feeling was equally beautiful, in Yu Xinlan's opinion, it seemed a little strange for a couple who had been married for a long time to have this kind of feeling.
After thinking for a while, Yu Xinlan attributed it to Duan Hengye's "lack of understanding".
After finishing the call, Yu Xinlan chatted with Duan Hengye briefly and left. She could already feel that Duan Hengye was absent-minded. However, Yu Xinlan's goal was really achieved. After she turned and left, Duan Hengye first stood in place for a while, then walked to the side of the window and began to stare blankly.
Duan Hengye was a person who couldn't stay idle. He knew that it was not suitable for him to continue his research now, so in the afternoon, he began to recompile the mecha professional textbook. For the current Duan Hengye, this matter was extremely simple. It was almost as if he only needed to collect and integrate the content and information from the previous classes.
The current Duan Hengye compared to when he first entered this world had gradually changed his understanding of teaching. Therefore, this book also broke away from the previous simple accumulation of information and results, and became truly guiding and educational.
In less than half a day, Duan Hengye had already sorted out the general framework of the textbook.
After looking at the time, Duan Hengye slowly stretched and sat up from the office chair. Although the sorting was not finished, it was now 7 pm. Duan Hengye knew that he was in a recovery period and couldn't work too much, so he ended today's task early, which was rare for him.
It was also at this time that Duan Hengye's optical computer received a message from Meng Jinhuai. Meng Jinhuai reminded Duan Hengye to end his work and that it was now dinnertime.
Meng Jinhuai was after all a busy marshal, and according to Yu Xinlan, he probably accumulated a lot of work during this period of time. Today's dinner was not like this morning where the marshal personally prepared it. When Duan Hengye walked into the dining room, he was shocked by the pile of incomparably rich bowls and plates on the table.
Although the upper echelons of the Yetian Empire worshipped luxury, the House of the Marshal had always been very low-key. The dinner here was rarely like today, where the entire table was filled with food.
When Duan Hengye walked over, Meng Jinhuai stood up from his chair and said to him, "This was made by someone from Nan zhuxing. I hope it will be to your taste." Obviously, the large pile of things on the table today was to celebrate his "recovery from a serious illness".
After the conversation with Yu Xinlan this morning, Duan Hengye looked at Meng Jinhuai with a complicated expression. Fortunately, Duan Hengye also felt this. He lowered his head and sat on the stool, then he casually looked at the food in front of him.
Although it wasn't as extravagant as the royal family and most of the nobles of the Empire, the House of the Marshal of Nan zhuxing was also very particular. For example, there would be a lot of bowls and plates placed in front of him for every meal. In the past, Duan Hengye never cared about these things. But today, in order to hide his emotions, Duan Hengye actually looked at the dishes one by one.
Because today's dinner was more formal, in addition to the bowls and plates, there were four glasses of different sizes in front of Duan Hengye. They were filled with different colored liquids. After seeing these glasses, Duan Hengye couldn't help but be curious. He picked them up one by one, put them at the tip of his nose, and sniffed them gently.
Although Duan Hengye rarely drank beverages, he could roughly tell what was in three of the glasses. Only the fourth glass was filled with a light red liquid. Duan Hengye couldn't tell what was in it even after smelling it for a long time.
Duan Hengye couldn't help but take a closer look at the glass. At this time, the glass in his hand was thin and long, very much like the champagne glasses on Earth. From time to time, small bubbles would appear on the surface of the light red liquid.
"What is this?" Duan Hengye couldn't help but ask Meng Jinhuai.
Then, Duan Hengye saw Meng Jinhuai, who was sitting opposite him, pick up the glass. After smelling it, Meng Jinhuai thought for a while and said a name that Duan Hengye has never heard of before. After saying that sentence, the marshal couldn't help but frown and said, "This is a very popular beverage in the Galaxy, but I remember that it wasn't prepared today."
Even though the beverage was only a small matter, after thinking about it, Meng Jinhuai took the optical computer next to him. After looking at it for a while, he said, "This is from Yu Xinlan."
Yu Xinlan sent a beverage? After hearing this, Duan Hengye couldn't help but be stunned. At first, this sounds a bit strange, but when it falls on Yu Xinlan, it seems … unexpectedly reasonable.
Even though Duan Hengye didn't understand what Yu Xinlan was trying to do, after hearing Meng Jinhuai's answer, he was still a little curious. He picked up the glass again and took a sip.
Just like what Meng Jinhuai said, Duan Hengye was holding a very popular beverage in the Galaxy. After drinking it, Duan Hengye felt that this thing was indeed delicious. As a person who wasn't very interested in beverages, after taking a sip, Duan Hengye couldn't help but pick it up again.
This glass wasn't big to begin with, so it didn't take long for him to see the bottom. After realizing this, the robot that had been standing in the corner of the restaurant suddenly moved. It walked over with a rose-colored glass bottle, then poured the liquid inside into Duan Hengye's glass.
After seeing this scene, Meng Jinhuai, who was sitting across from him, finally remembered something.
"By the way, A Heng, this drink contains alcohol." Meng Jinhuai reminded him.
"Yeah?" He really felt that the taste of the thing in his hand had nothing to do with "wine". After hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hangye couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Then, he hesitated and said, "The poison has been removed. There shouldn't be any problems, right?"
Actually, in the past, drinking alcohol wouldn't have affected Duan Hengye, let alone now. After hearing Duan Hengye's cautious tone, Meng Jinhuai smiled and shook his head. He said, "Of course not, I'm just reminding you." He had to admit that Yu Xinlan was indeed a person who knew a lot about food. Meng Jinhuai didn't expect Duan Hengye to like this alcoholic drink so much.
After hearing Meng Jinhuai's answer, Duan Hengye became even more relaxed. It didn't take long for him to finish all the drinks that Yu Xinlan brought over. When Meng Jinhuai saw that the table was only a little empty, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless. However, the smile on his face never disappeared. Meng Jinhuai liked the "popular" Duan Hengye now. He was no longer the omnipotent Professor Duan. He was now an ordinary young man in his twenties.
It was only at this moment that Duan Hengye realized … that this drink that tasted no different from ordinary drinks also had alcohol content. Not long after, Duan Hengye felt that the scenery in front of his eyes began to shake. Although it wasn't as serious as "seeing stars" or seeing double, Duan Hengye's remaining rationality still told him that he had drunk too much.
Dinner was over. The General's robot began to clean up the table. Meng Jinhuai also stood up. However, he noticed that Duan Hengye didn't have any intention of getting up. Instead, he suddenly sat there and stared silently at the table. When Meng Jinhuai saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel a little funny.
"What's wrong?" After secretly observing for a while, Meng Jinhuai finally couldn't help but ask.
After hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye raised his head. He pursed his lips and was silent for a while. Then, he finally frowned and said to Meng Jinhuai with a slightly serious expression, "I think … I seem to have drunk too much."
Duan Hengye spoke with a slightly nasal voice. It was very different from his usual self. This voice coupled with a serious expression was several times more lethal … Seeing this, Meng Jinhuai walked over and reached out to gently pull Duan Hengye up. "Then have a good rest." He said.
"Okay." Although Duan Hengye was a little drunk, it didn't affect his walking. After gently standing up, he stood still again. Seeing this, Meng Jinhuai couldn't help but look down.
The moment Meng Jinhuai lowered his head, he saw Duan Hengye look up at him and smile. Then, a light kiss landed on the corner of his mouth.
