Chapter 227: Rest
"Sorry for the long wait."
General Kasch's schedule today was full of meetings. He was meticulously dressed in a military three-piece suit, with his blond hair styled neatly. After attending meetings all morning and afternoon, he seemed to be stuck in shape.
Anushka walked into the lounge with great speed, put the fruit basket on the table, leaned on the back of the chair, and bent down to kiss Shi Cunjin.
Shi Cunjin had only heard half of it when a shadow suddenly fell in front of him.
Anushka bent down, and her military cape fell down naturally, half covering her head and clasping Shi Cunjin.
Shi Cunjin smelled a deliberately fresh fragrance between Anushka's collar and military cape.
A close kiss is a polite, light kiss, lip to lip.
"Medium..." Shi Cunjin held onto the handle of the high chair to gain strength and support his body.
One lip kiss after another, boo-suck-boo-suck.
“…”
The force of the kiss became stronger and stronger. Anushka's kiss was like stamping a seal. Sometimes the force of one or two kisses was a little out of control, and the canine teeth, which were generally a few centimeters pointed, would leave tooth marks on Shi Cunjin's lower lip.
General Kashu's fierceness was reflected in every aspect. In just a few blinks of an eye, Shi Cunjin was dazzled by the black shadow. When he came to his senses again, he was kissed on the back of the chair and sank into it.
"..." Before Shi Cunjin could close his mouth, Anushka took the tip of his tongue and sucked it for a while.
The kiss is neither heavy, deep, nor lingering, just a touch and then a break.
Every time Shi Cunjin was about to pronounce a word and his tongue was slightly curled, Anushka would kiss him for a moment, interrupting what Shi Cunjin was about to say.
With a suck, Anushka swallowed Shi Cunjin's voice and words.
Annoyingly sticky.
Shi Cunjin raised his hands and held Anoushka's face with a snap. His palms used a little more force, and Anoushka's butterfly antennae stood up like electricity and bent into a semi-arc.
"I assume that your lunch is not on my mouth." Shi Cunjin pushed Anushka's face away and smiled: "Good afternoon, which textbook did you learn how to kiss from?"
"..." Anushka turned her head in response to Shi Cunjin's force.
He held Shi Cunjin's hand, keeping their faces close, and slowly squatted down, kneeling on one knee, and casually put the military cap he was holding on the carpet.
Anushka used the tip of her nose to lightly touch Shi Cunjin's lip beads, lightly touched twice, and rubbed her eye sockets against Shi Cunjin's cheekbones. Her tone was a little cold and hard: "Good afternoon. Is your talk with the Cat Eye Council going well?"
Anushka paused for a few seconds and lowered her voice. If their breaths hadn't blended together, Shi Cunjin might not have been able to tell the difference. "The new edition of the textbook released by Maoyan in early October, Chapter 12, Section 3 of the Wedding Kissing Ceremony. Legal techniques for showing love. If you don't like it, I'll try something else next time."
"...The third section is a kiss on the cheek, two on the left and one on the right." Shi Cunjin said. Then, he realized that Anushka was a little abnormally close to him, and replied: "The second meeting went more smoothly than I expected. Everything was resolved peacefully. Several of you will be guests in the Far East for a few months."
"The average level of the guest is high AB. His main activities are in the Prometheus sector, security and interstellar parades. He also has a series of weapons authorizations such as the weapons and ammunition that the four armies carry into the Far East," Shi Cunjin said, "You need to come forward and negotiate with the headquarters of the four armies."
Anchor Fate and the Far East Director are in a cooperative relationship in the Far East region.
Fit Technology, which is operated by the system, participates in the repair and maintenance of all livelihood technologies in the Far East, and provides a series of light industrial technology support. At the same time, the area occupied by Fit also maintains part of the Far East's own industry and internal and external circulation trade chains.
On the official website, the Far East General shares some public rights with the Fate Group, such as customs review, planetary infrastructure arrangements, etc.
However, in terms of arms, if there is an arms treaty in a large contract negotiated by Fite, the Far East Army will come forward to negotiate. Conversely, when the Far East Army negotiates light industry and soft technology contracts with the Capital Alliance or the Southern Cross, the Fite Group's technology consultants will come forward to negotiate.
After Shi Cunjin said this, Anushka understood that not only did Cat Eyes fail to persuade Destiny to consider returning to the West Side, but the senior general who was traveling with the team was left by Fate to live in the Far East.
Anushka: “…”
"I know. I'll take care of it." Anushka wanted to kiss Shi Cunjin again. He leaned his face forward, twice on the left, once on the right, and finally tilted his head back.
Shi Cunjin smiled, reached out and pinched Anushka's nose bone and pushed her away.
Although the force was insignificant to Anushka, he still did not forcefully move forward. He just raised his chin slightly and touched Shi Cunjin's palm with the tip of his nose. "The gift I brought you is fruit. It was just shipped from another port today. I tasted it. The taste is amazing. The shelf life is short. It took some time to deliver it to you."
"Eat a sample first to try the taste. If you like it, I will let Chong continue to deliver it." Anushka held her lover's hand, stood up, and opened the short red velvet cloth on the fruit basket with one hand.
In the middle of the boat-shaped fruit basket lies a cluster of crystal clear coral-like flowers.
The flower cluster is about the size of an apple, with coral branch-like crystals that are half white and half transparent, and inside the translucent crystals flows expensive and psychedelic light pink floral dew.
Under the cluster of flowers was a layer of aluminum foil-colored insulation cloth, on which were placed a dozen condensation tubes, which were slightly blue.
Once the red velvet curtain was removed, the fruit basket glowed pink, blue, and silver, with fine smoke similar to dry ice rising from around the crystals known as "fruits."
Shi Cunjin: “.”
Chemical reagents and crystallization reaction testing tools?
[Wow! Chiong Yao frozen branches?] The system scanned it, and Shi Cunjin was surprised: [Huh? According to historical records, naturally mature Chiong Yao frozen branches have been extinct for 90 years?]
Shi Cunjin quickly remembered that he had written about this kind of edible ornamental flower in "Roommate".
"This is Qiong Yao frozen branch." Anushka pulled the vice-chair to Shi Cunjin's arm's length, sat down next to him, took an empty plate and silver knife from the dining table, took off her gloves, and picked out a small cluster of lenses.
"As far as I know, this edible flower was last seen in Cat's Eye 70 years ago and has been extinct since then. Where did you find it?" Shi Cunjin observed carefully and could hardly tell the difference between the frozen branches and the natural crystal stones.
"The earliest frozen planet that produced jellyfish was born in the Arctic region. The Four Armies discovered it in the 18th century, and spent another half a century moving the fruit-producing planet to the Western Region. After that, jellyfish became famous." Anushka controlled the blade, and the tip of the knife slid precisely along the naturally grown crystal surface of the jellyfish.
The white crystal tinkled and fell into the air, revealing the light rose quartz core inside the branch.
"It is true that the last time Qiongyao Tsukune was sent to Cat's Eye was 70 years ago, but the tsukune sent back then were not picked naturally, but were purchased from the ice storage of a non-alliance family as a tribute." Anushka was calm and just read a report: "Nearly a century ago, the frozen snow star that moved to the west no longer produced frozen tsukune. The moth species came to the North Pole Star to look for it, but they couldn't find it after a long time."
"My legion has been pioneering recently, huh." Anushka paused, "The large number of wild legions that have joined us are very useful. The planet that produces frozen branches was discovered by them."
"They were trying to blast open the glacier continent to reinstall global climate control, and they had just blown up a glacier, and this flower just blew out of the cracks in the glacier like a blasting bomb."
After Anushka disassembled the crystal, she picked up a silver fork, pointed the handle towards Shi Cunjin, and said, "Taste."
Shi Cunjin tasted a little bit and found the taste very strange. It tasted like a handful of crushed ice in the mouth, and it tasted like icegrass salad when chewed. At first, the taste was a bland, monotonous floral scent. As the teeth crushed the crystal core like brittle ice, the taste in the mouth would appear like perfume with middle and base notes. As Shi Cunjin ate, he frowned slightly and stopped chewing.
"What's wrong?" Anushka frowned and raised her hand in front of Shi Cunjin, "You are not used to eating, so you vomited it out."
"It's delicious. I tasted the flavor I like." Shi Cunjin chewed the decomposed frozen flower dew and tasted a bit of the special dessert flavor of a city on Earth. He remembered the introduction of Qiong Yao frozen branches he saw in the original book: a strange delicacy that makes people happy. A thousand tasters can taste a thousand favorite flavors in their memories. So that's what it means.
Anushka watched Shi Cunjin finish the small plate of frozen tarts before she picked up the knife.
He ate quickly, and his speech was clear even when he ate. "I have already blocked the newly opened snow planet. That planet is not far from the Far East, and the round trip takes three hours. In half a month, the Far East will open a direct flight to that snow planet, and the flight time will be reduced by another hour."
"The North Pole is the largest star region among the four regions, and also the largest star region in the wasteland. The moth species has not explored deeply for half a century, and other high-level legions will not bother to find edible wonder stars. Over the past century, the deep part of the star region has experienced supernova explosions, dwarf star collapses, alien corpse groups rotting, and polluted star regions undergoing qualitative changes. New wonder stars must have been born in the depths of the region."
Anushka said calmly, "Based on my current expansion speed, in another six months, my army will be able to find one or two rare historical delicacies. By then, I will spare a month," he raised his glass and took a sip of table wine, cleared his throat, and said calmly: "Let's go traveling."
"I promise that by that time my army will have opened up shipping routes throughout the North Pole. If you want to see the frozen sea of flowers or the aurora borealis in the morning, we can reach the best viewing platform before midnight."
"Beautiful idea, is this a honeymoon invitation?" Shi Cunjin asked gently.
"Um."
Shi Cunjin smiled, raised his fork, and poked Anushka's finger lightly with the tip of the fork, like poking a cherry. "Where is the momentum you had when you walked in half an hour ago? Why are you staring at the plate and saying you're invited again?"
“…”
Anushka turned her head and looked at her lover with a calm expression, and opened her mouth to say it again.
Shi Cunjin interrupted him first, his smile faded, and he asked softly: "If I remember correctly, the theme of your conference these two days is that the ten major legions are preparing to open up the North Pole region, prepare for the future legion insect tribe headquarters, strengthen the armament, and build a brand new defense zone against alien beasts."
"How come after half a year, it sounds like your army is the only one working on the plan?"
