Chapter 38
October 15th is the fiftieth anniversary of the establishment of the Jiangnan Base.
The celebration will be held in the central square of the inner ring. Countless cameras have already been set up to broadcast the event in real time to the military and civilians in other rings.
Thanks to Lu Ya, Gu Fan actually got a place on the most suitable stand for watching the ceremony in the square.
There is a huge screen in the center of the square.
Before the parade began, several elderly people in their seventies and eighties took out their treasured photos and videos and played them on a large screen. The photos and videos depicted the peace and joy of the free age.
After the old people left, the screen fell into darkness. Suddenly, accompanied by countless beast roars, a doomsday-like video of a massive radiation outbreak was played. Helpless people fled in all directions, and mutated beasts chased them madly. When it was so desperate that people could not bear to watch, the first group of people with special abilities stepped forward.
The psychic led the soldiers to fight back against the monsters, trying their best to protect more human compatriots and arrived at a city base.
In this base named Jiangnan Base, everyone is actively contributing their strength. The psychics are defending against monsters on the outermost perimeter, the scientific researchers are racing against time to develop a protective shield, the construction workers are building high-rise buildings with their own hands, the police are maintaining the security of the base, and the teachers are diligently educating the new generation.
Gu Fan looked at the screen silently.
Fifty years have passed, and her life has been generally dull. However, this base declined in the midst of prosperity, and was revitalized in the midst of decline by the people who flocked into the base.
The military parade begins.
The psychics were divided into the air and land forces, and they marched in front of the central square in formation with straight military posture.
Suddenly, Lu Ya's handsome and cold face appeared on the big screen.
He was wearing that S-class armor, flying in the air, looking down at the army below, as if supervising and protecting.
There were some low murmurs in the viewing platform, all of which were affirmations of Lu Ya.
The camera turned and changed to something else.
——
The celebration lasted for most of the day. It was a carnival for all the military and civilians in the base, while the banquet in the evening was a social gathering for the people in power and the powerful people in the base.
Gu Fan received a box of chocolates from Lu Ya in advance, and then before the dinner started, he took Lu Ya's arm and followed him into the banquet hall.
She didn't dress up specially. She was wearing a black dress that Lu Ya had prepared for her. Compared with the dresses of other female guests, the one Lu Ya gave her was very conservative. It only exposed her neck, arms and part of her calves, without revealing any extra flesh.
But when she and Lu Ya stepped into the hall, the guests all stopped laughing and talking and looked over here.
Gu Fan smiled slightly and listened to Lu Ya introduce some elders to him.
"Where did you find such a beautiful girlfriend, boy?"
Everyone seemed to know that Gu Fan's ability level was not good enough, and they tacitly praised her beauty in front of Lu Ya.
Gu Fan just plays the role of a competent vase.
At this time, she saw a short-haired woman wearing black armor, standing alone by the window, out of tune with the surroundings. The solemn aura made Gu Fan think of someone.
She looked at Lu Ya beside her, raised her chin towards the short-haired woman, and asked, "Who is that?"
Lu Ya took a quick glance and whispered, "He Jing, the next generation successor of the He family army, is second only to Marshal He Tao in the He family."
Gu Fan understood.
At this moment, He Jing looked at the two of them accurately, her gaze lingered on Gu Fan's face for a moment, and then she walked away indifferently.
"Second brother, your sudden announcement of your relationship must have hurt Sister He's heart."
A familiar voice sounded behind him. Gu Fan turned around and saw Lu Yao wearing a white long dress, holding Sheng Xi's arm.
Lu Yao looked at Gu Fan innocently.
Sheng Xi gestured for her to stop talking disapprovingly, smiled apologetically, and pulled Lu Yao away.
The two of them doing this actually made people suspect that Lu Ya and He Jing had something going on before.
Fortunately, the relationship between Gu Fan and Lu Ya was fake, and Gu Fan had no interest in Lu Ya's possible romantic history.
"Why haven't Xinghe and the others come yet?" Gu Fan looked around and asked with some disappointment.
Lu Ya used his arm to pull Gu Fan closer to him and answered the question he was asking, "He Jing and I have always been of the same opinion regarding the monster clearance, which has led to some elders misunderstanding us. In fact, she and I are just commanders of the same base, and we have no other relationship."
Gu Fan smiled and said, "You don't need to explain."
Lu Ya pursed his lips.
At this moment, the five people from Xinghe appeared.
Gu Fan stood there and waited for the five people to walk up to them. Gu Fan withdrew his arm from Lu Ya's arm and naturally joined the five people.
Someone called out to Lu Ya from a distance.
Lu Ya glanced at Gu Fan and turned to socialize.
"You are too disrespectful to my cousin, aren't you?" Meng Lianying said sympathetically.
Gu Fan pleaded innocent: "I've already accompanied him around once, which is enough to prove that he has a girlfriend. There's no point in going around again."
Meng Lianying: "Aren't you afraid that there are still some persistent peach blossoms trying to snatch my cousin away?"
Gu Fan laughed: "If he really wanted to be robbed, he wouldn't look for a fake one like me."
What's more, since she was a fake girlfriend, why would she worry about Lu Ya being snatched away?
The six of them found a table and sat down to talk.
Fenghuo and Meng Lianying brought over a lot of delicious food, including a ball of ice cream. It was the first time that Gu Fan saw it, so he scooped a spoonful out of curiosity.
"Fanfan seems to like sweets very much." When all three ice cream balls were finished by Gu Fan, Meng Lianying said with a smile.
Gu Fan asked Feng Huo: "Can you do it?"
Fenghuo: "It's simple, just gather the ingredients. I'll make hundreds for you tomorrow, and you can save them and eat them slowly."
Gu Fan immediately became full of anticipation for tomorrow.
"Young Master Lu is calling you." Qing Teng suddenly reminded Gu Fan.
Gu Fan looked up and saw that Lu Ya was indeed looking at her from a distance.
The dinner was about to begin, and of course she had to sit with Lu Ya.
Gu Fan reluctantly left his companions and accompanied Lu Ya to sit in the middle of the upper floors.
Gu Fan had no interest in the high-sounding talks and quietly enjoyed the delicious food provided by the dinner. Lu Ya walked away for a while, but Gu Fan didn't care until he came back to his seat and put a bowl full of ice cream balls in front of her, green, red, orange, black, white, and all kinds of flavors.
Not only was Gu Fan stunned, but everyone else at the table was also stunned.
Lu Ya simply explained: "She likes to eat."
Everyone started laughing, and one elder said, "So Xiao Lu is so good at taking care of people."
Lu Ya's expression was as calm as if he had heard someone praising his ability to fight monsters.
Gu Fan thought about it and since the ice cream was already in front of her, she started eating it without hesitation.
In the end, Gu Fan was left with only a small piece of white milk ice cream that she had scooped off.
"Can't eat anymore?" Lu Ya asked.
Gu Fan shook his head and whispered, "This doesn't taste good."
Lu Ya moved the bowl of ice cream in front of her and ate the lonely ice cream with her spoon.
Everyone is used to it.
Gu Fan looked at the small spoon that Lu Ya put into his mouth and felt something was wrong.
After the guests had eaten and drunk their fill and socialized enough, the dinner finally ended.
Back in Lu Ya's car, Gu Fan touched his stomach and secretly repented of his oral desire. He would have to spend more time tonight to remove impurities from his body.
On the way, Lu Ya didn't say anything. When they arrived at his villa, Lu Ya accompanied Gu Fan to the door of her room.
Gu Fan turned around and prepared to say good night to him.
Lu Ya suddenly had a transparent refrigerator storage box in his hand, densely packed with colorful ice cream balls. The space allowed everything to remain in the same state as when it was first placed. As soon as the box was taken out, a white mist began to rise, swirling around, making it seem as if those ice cream balls weren't just mundane items from Earth, but rather some kind of heavenly treasure from the land of cultivation.
"I went to the dinner kitchen to buy it. Eat it slowly and don't eat too much at once."
Lu Ya was still a little worried about her teeth.
Gu Fan had no idea what to say. Afraid that the ice cream would melt, he put the gift away.
“Remember to brush your teeth.”
Lu Ya glanced at her and went downstairs.
Gu Fan: ...
If she were still Lu Jingtian's age, she would really want to call Lu Ya and open her mouth wide to show him her two rows of white and neat teeth.
In any case, this little gift made Gu Fan very happy, so happy that he forgot the threat of the possible beast tide.
Humming a tune while brushing his teeth, Gu Fan crossed his legs and began to practice.
In the room downstairs, Lu Ya was still awake, but she closed her eyes and felt her special practice.
Suddenly, an alarm beeped from the communicator on my wrist.
Lu Ya sat up suddenly.
