eve

"We have specially invited you journalists to cover this joint military exercise. The military has designated a reporting area for you. During the exercise, we hope you will adhere to the following requirements. First..."

Before the exercise began, Yi Jingchen and his colleagues from the "Agriculture and Military" channel attended a journalist advocacy meeting.

Some senior colleagues saw him as a stranger and thought he was a foreign correspondent.

After asking around, I found out that he was a newbie sent from next door, just to gain experience.

The joint military exercise of the three armed forces of navy, army and air force was on a grand scale, and the venue was naturally not something that Yi Jingchen alone could run through.

The reporters were divided into three groups, responsible for reporting on the status of the exercises on land, sea and air respectively.

Yi Jingchen had always dreamed of becoming an astronaut, and his first choice was naturally the Air Force, but he was rejected because he did not have the qualifications.

His second choice was the strongest army team on the planet, but the area was already full of reporters.

After going around in circles, I was assigned to the Navy interview area.

[I have no choice.]

Yi Jingchen got on the small follow-up boat. He was originally in a low mood, but ended up getting a cold shoulder from his senior.

"Do you know how many people line up to interview the Navy, but still can't get a chance?"

"Our navy is known as the sea slickers. Military fans never know where they are roaming in the sea, so interviewing them is extremely difficult."

Yi Jingchen had limited knowledge of the military field, and even the appearance of several top-level warships was something he had to urgently brush up on before boarding the ship.

Hearing his senior say this, he blinked his cat-like eyes and sighed, "So amazing?"

"Of course, the navy has the highest military spending, and every province is vying for the right to name aircraft carriers. Some even suggest there aren't enough carriers to go around, not enough for each province to get one." At this point, a veteran who has been stationed there since the 1980s shook his head and grumbled, "Are we building over 30 aircraft carriers to attack the Trisolarans?"

"It's a fear of insufficient firepower per capita. There's a saying among the public that there are two factions: the radicals believe my country should have one aircraft carrier per capita, while the conservatives think the radicals are too conservative and that China should have one aircraft carrier per capita."

"One per person..." Yi Jingchen frowned and questioned, "Everyone is flying aircraft carriers, what about the airspace? No one is flying bombers?"

"How difficult is that?" the senior said calmly, "Our current research direction is to get planes launched into the water and aircraft carriers airborne."

"An aircraft carrier taking off?" Yi Jingchen imagined it and was shocked. "Star destroyer?"

"This is a good name. The military should consider it."

Yi Jingchen picked up the telescope and looked at the warship several thousand meters away from him.

Military exercises are called exercises, and no weapons of mass destruction will be used. After all, they are real weapons.

The military was afraid of accidental discharge of gunfire that might affect the interview boat, so they asked them to stay in a safe area. All they could see with the naked eye was a small boat on the sea in the distance, which looked quite cute.

Yi Jingchen used his imagination again and imagined himself boarding a small boat... no, a star destroyer.

According to the current development speed, he can't go to the space by rocket, but he can consider aircraft carrier!

Space battleships are all based on aircraft carriers. As long as he joins the navy, it doesn't mean that his goal has been achieved.

[Yes, the sea of ​​stars is also a sea!]

The senior stared at the countdown on his watch, turned to Yi Jingchen and said, "It's about to start. This is your first time filming a military exercise, so you might be scared. Just follow us."

Colleagues in the military channel have really seen a lot of ups and downs.

Even when facing gunfire and feeling the sea level begin to fluctuate, he can still shoot and commentate as steady as a rock.

Before the interview, Yi Jingchen made sufficient mental preparations.

Feeling the sea breeze with the smell of gunpowder and seeing the dazzling fire in the distance even in the daytime, I still couldn't help but feel a little scared.

I have seen many battle scenes in anime, but this is the first time I have seen one in real life.

Imagining such enormous firepower being deployed in a real battle, Yi Jingchen once again realized the insignificance and miracle of life.

This military exercise is highly targeted, simulating the use of military force to land and occupy an island.

Yi Jingchen looked at the map and found many islands around, including one of his rebellious sons.

The country also invited reporters to provide full commentary and coverage of the large-scale military exercises.

The intention is quite obvious, which is to show off their muscles to them.

If you can't convince people with reason, then convince them with force.

"Wow, it turns out that planes can really be launched from ships." Yi Jingchen, who had never seen much of the world, sighed with admiration and asked the senior who was as steady as a rock beside him, "If such firepower were used in a war, wouldn't you be afraid?"

"Why should I be afraid?" the senior replied, "I know this firepower is used to protect us. I'm not the one who should be afraid."

"Truth is only within the range of cannons. Look, everything flying in the sky and floating in the sea is our truth."

"We don't have enough truth, not enough! Can't we double our military spending?"

Yi Jingchen looked up at his colleagues with admiration and thought to himself: It seems that I can't be a military reporter in the future.

Cats are easily stressed out and timid. They will be really scared when they hear banging sounds.

It is better to live within the protection of truth.

Yi Jingchen was extremely desperate.

With my courage, I'm afraid it's time to say goodbye to the Star Destroyer and the sea of ​​stars.

The military exercise, originally planned to last five hours, ended 80 minutes ahead of schedule due to the tacit cooperation among multiple parties.

After the exercise, as per convention, the military will hold a meeting to summarize and review the situation.

Leaders of the navy, army and air force will sit at the same table to discuss strategies and identify and address any gaps.

The review meeting involves strategic secrets and will not be made public.

Yi Jingchen still came to the meeting place with several seniors.

The stupid Silver Gradient knew that he was a coward, but he still wanted to struggle and admire the air force team he most admired.

When the Air Force team arrived at the scene, Yi Jingchen discovered that the air commander of this military exercise, the military leader surrounded in the middle, was actually a heroic woman.

Her short black hair was neat and capable, and her eyes were firm and resolute. At first glance, she looked like the type who could conquer the enemy without fighting.

He looked to be over 40 years old, with shoulder straps representing his military rank having two bars and one star.

Yi Jingchen recalled the popular science that his predecessor had just given him, that two bars and one star was already the rank of a general.

In ancient times, it meant a general who led troops to fight.

Boss!

Super boss!

Yi Jingchen held his face in his hands and looked at the military leader in admiration.

During the military exercise just now, the commander who was over 40 years old personally took part in the exercise and performed better than the active-duty air force soldiers in their twenties.

I can’t believe how she soared above the clouds when she was young.

"Commander Ye!" A reporter called her over and handed her the microphone. "Excuse me, is this military exercise difficult for the Air Force?"

"Whether it's military exercises or actual combat, the challenges are immense, and we must be prepared to sacrifice at any moment," Commander Ye replied. "But our People's Air Force will accomplish its mission."

"Commander Ye, you've reached the age where you can retire. Why do you still want to fly it yourself?"

Commander Ye looked at the other party, his tone cold and stern, "I am over forty years old, and I can also sacrifice my life for my country."

With just two short sentences, Commander Ye's image became even more prestigious in Yi Jingchen's mind.

He felt a little regretful. He thought he should not have been lazy and only learned about the navy's situation before the interview.

I should have spent more time to master all the military information so that I can talk to the boss now.

Commander Ye raised his eyes and noticed the anxious mute young reporter behind him, who met his gaze squarely.

The moment their eyes met, Yi Jingchen vaguely felt that she looked somewhat familiar.

"Do you have anything to ask?" Commander Ye took the initiative to speak.

Yi Jingchen didn't have time to hesitate and quickly asked, "I wanted to join the Air Force before, but I was rejected because of my fragile mentality. Do you think I still have a chance?"

Commander Ye looked him over and commented, "Your physical fitness is okay. If you need to overcome your mental problems, you can consult my son."

"Your son?" Yi Jingchen was puzzled.

It was his first time meeting Commander Ye, how could he know her son?

Then, I heard a familiar name coming out of the other person's mouth.

"Well, my son's name is Chi Yaoxi."

“…”

“???”

“!!!”

[cat shocked.jpg]

It turns out that Chi Yaoxi’s mother is so amazing, no wonder he can fly a bomber since he was a child!

——I lost at the starting line!

The first watershed in life is amniotic fluid, I am not kidding.

Filled with grief and indignation, Yi Jingchen contacted Chi Yaoxi and asked him to use his family connections to get him into the aerospace team.

Chi Yaoxi's reply was just five words:

'That's too useless. No.'

The easily stressed-out silly cat burst into tears again.

Yi Jingchen put aside his sadness, summarized his experience on the battlefield, and took the initiative to contact the director.

The director got the news and arranged for Yi Jingchen to join the crew while the filming was still going on to finish the first scene.

The internationally renowned actors who acted with him were all shocked.

Although they had never worked together before, they received feedback from their teacher and knew that Yi Jingchen's acting skills were extremely poor.

Who would have thought that when the filming officially started, Yi Jingchen stood in front of the camera, as if he was the war correspondent who had great love in his heart but was hit hard by reality.

His contradictions towards war, his yearning for peace, and his unswerving persistence despite knowing that he could not change anything were all projected onto Yi Jingchen.

During the filming process, the director, who is always demanding, said "perfect" several times in a row.

The filming crew gave thumbs up and praised Yi Jingchen as a genius actor.

"I don't have any talent. I'm just acting myself." Yi Jingchen raised his head proudly. "Let's start the next scene. I'm so strong now!"

.

Familiar dormitory.

Nine familiar people.

Aurora was just like every day before, happy and worry-free.

Until Liu Sui put a plan in front of them, it was as if all the happiness was paused.

'Aurora disbandment concert plan'

"Disband...concert?" Du Xingwei looked at his teammates, then at Liu Sui. "Are we disbanding? Didn't we just form a group?"

"Wake up, you've been a group for a year and a half." Liu Sui reminded them cruelly, "It's the middle of September now. You formed a group last April, and your limited group contract will expire in April next year."

In other words, there is only half a year left at most.

The disbandment concert is scheduled to be on tour three months before the event, more than three months in advance, which seems reasonable.

Although it was reasonable, Aurora's teammates could not accept this outcome for a while.

"I don't want to disband. I want to continue living in the dormitory..."

"Yeah, I've made this place my home."

Yi Jingchen felt the same way, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Why don't I buy the dormitory?"

"Huh? Is it okay?" Luju asked expectantly.

"If the owner agrees to sell, fine. If not, I'll renew the lease for 70 years."

The property rights of the house are only for seventy years at most, and Yi Jingchen can rent it until the expiration date.

"You want to buy the dormitory? I can be responsible for the communication, it's not difficult. But..." Liu Sui wanted to remind them that after disbanding, everyone will be independent artists and it is impossible for them to live together like they do now.

"Brother Liu, can you help? Great!"

"Auntie has to stay too. She's made me fat."

"How dare you say that? I've been trying to lose weight for a year and a half, and I've only lost 30 taels."

"It's all Yi Jingchen's fault, eating snacks every night!"

Everyone started blaming each other, and the sadness just now was overshadowed by the joy that returned.

Liu Sui looked at them and felt a little confused.

Compared to Thrill, Aurora members are more emotional.

Liu Sui was worried that they would be unwilling to accept the disbandment and would cry bitterly.

After talking and laughing for a while, Yi Jingchen stood up and said, "Come on, let's start rehearsing for the disbandment concert."

"Okay." Mu Gan stood up.

"We agreed to put a beautiful end to it."

Aurora’s limited edition only has half a year left, and fans are counting the days, each day less than the last.

The fans who have always been looking forward to the disbandment of the limited group are actually feeling reluctant as the disbandment date approaches.

Only the nine people in Aurora seemed unaffected and continued to complete the notice step by step.

In a blink of an eye, it was the third January they had spent together, and Aurora arranged a book signing event for their disbandment album on this day.

Considering that this should be the last autograph session, the organizers were very generous with the number of places, with a total of one thousand, allowing the brothers to sign from morning to night.

——It’s okay for them to be tired, but we can’t let the fans suffer.

The nine Aurora members had no opinions. From the beginning to the end, they actively worked in business with the utmost enthusiasm and responded to every fan.

Fans who were unable to attend the event watched the live repo and videos again, and gradually got a glimpse of everyone's thoughts on the disbandment.

A fan sat down in front of Yan Zhichen and asked directly, "Teacher Xiaoyan, will you still be a kindergarten teacher in the future?"

"Not in the short term," Yan Zhichen answered sincerely. "I've accumulated a lot of fans and fame over the past two years. If a kindergarten were to recruit me, I'd be suspicious of their intentions. Excessive attention would also cause trouble for the parents."

"But," Yan Zhichen changed the subject, "you know, being a celebrity earns more than being a teacher. I've saved some money over the past two years and plan to invest in a kindergarten that meets my standards."

"Huh?" fans were shocked. "All the other kindergartens on the market are closing down..."

Everyone knows that kindergarten is a declining industry and is reluctant to invest in it.

How does Yan Zhichen go against the trend?

No matter how much money a star makes, he or she can't throw it into a money-shredding machine.

"I know." Yan Zhichen looked at him directly, "But education is not a business."

"Maybe I've been in the group for too long and am too idealistic." Yan Zhichen smiled. "Since you've chosen to be a teacher, you must be aware of your dedication."

"Great!" The fan gave a thumbs-up. "Teacher Xiaoyan, if you open a kindergarten, remember to let me know. If I have a child, I will definitely send it to your school."

The person next to him heard it and said, "Me too."

In the comment section, fans of each group said that if they had children, they would definitely send them to Teacher Xiaoyan’s school.

Yan Zhichen’s kindergarten has not yet been established, but it has already become the kindergarten with the least worries about student recruitment in the country.

Next to Yan Zhichen sat Lu Jiu.

After two years in the group, he is definitely the one who has changed the most.

Now, her former shyness and timidity are no longer visible in her every move, and she can respond generously when someone calls her "wife".

"Jiujiu, my dear, your singing skills have improved a lot!"

"And she's getting more and more beautiful."

"After disbanding, will you pursue a career as a pure singer?"

Luchu blushed slightly when she heard their praise and whispered, "I want to... continue to be an idol."

"I know my singing has improved. I've heard you tell me every time we meet." Luchu's eyes lit up with a smile as he continued, "I don't want to rush into a transition right now. I feel like two years is too short. I've only just learned how to be an idol, and I want you to see more of me. And..."

He looked at his teammates and said nothing more.

"You guys like me being an idol too, right?"

"like!"

"My wife likes everything!"

"My Lang~" Hao Lang's CP fans sat in front of Shu Lang, staring at him and sighing, "Look, you're getting more and more delicate and tender. Who can tell you're a man from Northeast China?"

Shu Lang smiled somewhat helplessly, "There are so many skin care products endorsed by the group, and they are all very useful."

"What a dedicated spokesperson, still promoting at a time like this. Thank you, my kids have already bought a bunch." After getting the autograph, she asked, "After the disbandment, will you return to your original company?"

"Of course." Shu Lang answered without hesitation.

Shulang was originally a very small company, at the bottom of the heap. It only got on the right track thanks to the popularity of Shulang.

If he wants better development, he should take the initiative to join a large company in exchange for more resources.

But if he did that, Shu Lang would no longer be Shu Lang.

It is certainly cool to lean against a big tree, but it is more fulfilling to grow a sapling into a towering tree.

Although the company is small, its future plans are very clear and the trainees are very hardworking.

As the head of the company, Shu Lang has absolute autonomy, which is definitely more comfortable than working in a large company.

"I'm an idol, and my original agency is an idol agency, so it's a good fit."

"Okay. We're wherever you are, come on!"

"Thanks."

Mu Gan took advantage of the fact that there was no one around and secretly opened a can of milk downstairs.

Before he could drink, a lovely girl sat down opposite him, staring at him.

“…” Mu Gan was just about to continue hiding the jar.

The girl said, "Drink it, don't worry about me."

Mu Gan said "Oh" and gulped down half the bottle.

"Naigan, you've changed a lot. You didn't care about other people's eyes before."

In the past, let alone having a fan sitting opposite you.

Even at the battle scene, with all the cameras pointed at Mu Gan, he could still drink milk as if no one was around.

"Yeah." Mu Gan said lazily, "I have an idol burden now."

"Will there be another one in the future?" The girl has been following him for several years, so she naturally knows that Mu Gan will not return to the idol circle with the idol baggage of the idol circle.

"Yes," Mu Gan answered without hesitation, "It's not like I'll be expelled from the idol circle after the disbandment."

He is very insensitive, and the so-called thick barriers between circles do not exist at all in Mu Gan's eyes.

Fan: "You seem to like singing and dancing?"

"I like it. It helps me exercise." Mu Gan yawned. "If I hadn't been an idol, I would never have had abdominal muscles in my life."

This is the truth.

Mu Gan sincerely feels that if he had not become an idol, he would have become physically exhausted at a young age and become paralyzed after the age of 40.

Becoming an idol is a dream for others, but for him, he just treats this career as a substitute for working out in the gym.

On the other side of the autograph session, You Lingyu was repeatedly asked whether he would change his position after the disbandment.

He came from a professional idol company and was initially trained to be the rap leader of a boy group.

After joining Aurora, he was forced to move closer to ACE because Mu Gan was responsible for the main rap.

"No, absolutely not," You Lingyu replied proudly, "I can now snatch words from Mu Gan's mouth. I have a place in the Harry Potter circle."

"I will still be the rap leader in the future and never forget my original intention."

Li Jibai, who was sitting next to him, also kept his original aspiration in mind.

From participating in "Super Idol" to now, Li Jibai has worked hard for two full years, and when he returned, he was still just a face who relied on his looks to make a living.

To be fair, his current strength is not bad, and if he participates in the draft again, he will at least be at the level of maintaining B and striving for A.

However, his teammates are all improving, so Li Jibai can only serve as a front.

"Little JB, did you know that the forum said you are the 'most comprehensive face'?"

"Now I understand," Li Jibai said calmly. "Thank you all for making my efforts seem effortless."

"Hahaha!" The fan laughed wickedly for a while and consoled him, "It's okay, we're going to disband soon."

"After we disband, I will continue to work hard," Li Jibai said seriously, "next time, I won't just be a front."

"Ah?" The other party wanted to ask when the 'next time' would be, but unfortunately the time was up and he had to move in front of Tian Xitu.

Tian Xitu has a cool face and wears rabbit ears, which doubles his cuteness.

Someone asked him if he would continue to be an idol, and he replied "yes".

If he hadn't wanted to be an idol, he wouldn't have been tricked into the 48 series.

Du Xingwei next to him also gave the same answer.

"Of course, I don't know how to do anything besides being an idol. My test scores haven't been very good lately..." Du Xingwei said distressedly, "My science score was only slightly above the passing grade. Teacher Li almost hit me."

"Didn't Teacher Xiaoyi hit you?"

"No." Du Xingwei shook his head. "He also couldn't understand the comprehensive science questions in the college entrance examination."

“Who said that?!”

The stupid silver tabby cat next to it immediately got angry.

"I can understand it, but I just can't do it!"

Fans: ???

Is there any difference?

"Chenchen." The fan sitting opposite Yi Jingchen cried with tears in her eyes and said reluctantly, "Aurora is about to disband. I don't want to let it go."

"It's okay, it's just a disbandment." Yi Jingchen told him with a smile, "In anime, the protagonists will always reunite in the end no matter how many times they separate."

"If the nine of us shine brightly enough, even if we drift in different orbits, we will eventually connect into one and light up each of your night skies."

Yi Jingchen smiled and told everyone word by word:

“Aurora will always be here~”
