Chapter 26 Chapter 26: First Military Headquarters "Let's go, dear...
First Military Headquarters.
Unlike traditional military bases, the First Military Headquarters is wrapped in advanced nanomaterials and energy shields. Various aircraft are suspended in the sky, shuttling silently.
At the same time, in the core area of the First Military Headquarters, in an inconspicuous office, Arnold sat alone behind a large desk, his eyes a little dull.
It wasn't Arnold's first day on the job.
But Arnold was so shocked on his first day at work.
Originally, Arnold was the only most capable assistant to the commander of the First Legion, Hoss, but now, it seems that his position is about to be lost.
A male insect came to the First Military Headquarters for internship.
This male insect is even one that Arnold is very familiar with - the one his superior is thinking about all the time, Xu Wen!
Originally, Arnold thought that the male insect was just here for fun to intern at the First Military Headquarters and wouldn't put too much thought into it. However, Arnold never expected that Xu Wen would be so positive, proactive and motivated.
Isn't Lord Xiu Wen an A-rank male insect? A-rank male insects should be working as civilians in the military, looking at documents, enjoying the air conditioning, going to work and leaving on time, what a happy job! Why would he be here doing an internship?
Arnold's facial expression was a little unbearable, and his facial features were wrinkled together, like a bitter gourd.
Do I have to face the boss and his lord every day in the future, and show my affection every day in the First Military Headquarters, a department with a very low marriage rate!
What a hellish work life this is.
Life is so hard.
However, the atmosphere in the other office was completely different.
On the towering top floor of the First Army Headquarters Building is the office of the commander of the First Army.
At the desk.
Hoss was wearing a well-cut black military uniform with shining gold edges on the epaulettes. The black belt was tightly tied around his waist, outlining his strong and powerful physique.
The outline of broad shoulders and narrow waist is more distinct against the backdrop of military uniform, like an unshakable mountain, exuding an inviolable aura.
There is no doubt that work is serious.
There was a sharp and deep light between his eyebrows, and his wheat-colored skin looked even healthier and more lustrous under the warm sunlight streaming in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, just like the solidest honey in nature.
Only his lord can taste it.
At this moment, Hoss was concentrating on reviewing the documents on his desk, and his daily schedule was placed in the upper right corner of his desk.
For Hoss, there is something important today.
——Go to the exoskeleton research and development company with his future master to choose an exoskeleton that suits him.
And his future master was knocking on the office door at this moment.
“Knock, knock.”
"Come in."
When saying this, Huos had his back to the French window. In the gentle afternoon sunlight, even the fiercest military female seemed gentle.
The door opened gently.
Xiu Wen was also wearing a neat black military uniform today, but he didn't have so many medals on his shoulders. The uniform was straight and perfectly outlined his upright figure.
The male insect was born with regular facial features, and his brows revealed a sense of determination and heroism. Now, against the backdrop of his military uniform, he looked even more extraordinary.
His tall stature makes this military uniform look both military-like and elegant when worn on him.
"Sir, it's time to get off work."
Xu Wen gently pushed open the office door, his steps steady and with a hint of imperceptible briskness. He walked straight towards Huo Si who was sitting at the desk, with a smile on his face.
You can see that he is in a good mood.
Hoss raised his hand to check the time - it was 5:30 in the afternoon, and it was indeed time to get off work.
He has no work schedule in the evening today, so it's okay for him to get off work at this time in the afternoon.
When approaching Hoss, Xu Wen lowered his head slightly and used his slender fingers to gently brush away the few strands of hair scattered on his forehead, his movements full of intimacy.
The two of them have done even the most intimate things, and they don't care about such small details in their daily lives.
Love is to gradually break the sense of distance and be able to truly touch each other.
Then, Xu Wen leaned forward and placed a kiss on Hoss's forehead. The kiss was gentle and full of love, as if the lightest feather had landed on the forehead.
"Let's go, dear sir."
Hoss was stunned for a moment, his ears suddenly turned red, and he immediately reacted.
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll pack up and we'll go."
To be honest, he really couldn't resist Xiuwen's pillow talk and agreed to Xiuwen's application for internship at the First Military Headquarters, but he didn't have much expectations at that time.
but,
Xu Wen performed much better than he expected - he was indeed an outstanding graduate and had a good ability to adapt to the military.
The male insect participated in the morning's daily training, including weighted running, shooting training, and daily physical fitness enhancement, and also completed the afternoon's work arrangements rigorously.
Now, just as they had agreed two days ago before going to bed, they had to go and choose a suitable exoskeleton for Hoss.
Only after selecting the exoskeleton can you proceed with the wedding process planning.
They both prepared for this wedding for a long time. Hoss finally chose a wedding plan to get married in the Cathedral of Light.
A very traditional and mainstream choice, so in essence, Hoss is a more conservative type.
——
Military Medical Mall.
Various high-tech medical equipment and assistive devices are neatly arranged.
When Huven pushed Hoss's wheelchair in, their appearance immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding customers.
The combination of the two of them is really conspicuous. One male insect is tall, while the other female insect is in a wheelchair, making their identities almost impossible to identify.
Male insects are rare, and tall male insects like Xu Wen are even rarer. It's Friday, after work, and the medical mall is relatively busy. The products produced in the military-affiliated medical mall are specifically developed for female soldiers.
So naturally, Hoss ran into a few of his former comrades.
Not far ahead, an eye-catching tall figure came into Hoss's sight.
He was dressed in a dark blue uniform, clearly of the Third Regiment, which outlined his slender figure. On his shoulders, golden epaulettes gleamed in the sun like stars, highlighting his extraordinary rank and honor.
This female soldier had beautiful light blue medium-length hair, which was meticulously tied behind her head and fixed with a simple hairband. Looking from the side, her face was well-defined, her skin was white and almost transparent, and her nose was high.
It was the commander of the Third Army—Wen Laiyak.
She was originally standing in front and paying with her head down, but when this female soldier turned around with her handbag, she saw Hoss and the others out of the corner of her eye.
"Captain Hoss?"
Wenlaiak said in surprise.
He had successfully repelled the beast tide and evacuated from the front line, having just landed yesterday. He did not expect to meet the commander of the First Legion in the medical mall today.
The Third Legion and the First Legion often cooperated, and the former commander of the First Legion was even Wenleyak's teacher, so Wenleyak had a good relationship with his colleague Hoss.
Xu Wen actually recognized Wen Layak at once - when he was in military school, Wen Layak often appeared in promotional videos. In fact, almost everyone in the military school knew Wen Layak, which was similar to the behavior of chasing stars, but Xu Wen was not a fan of Wen Layak.
"Commander Wenlayak, long time no see." Hoss nodded and greeted him.
"Captain Hoss, I didn't expect to see you here. When I arrived yesterday, I stopped by the military headquarters. There were rumors there that Commander Hoss was getting married soon. Is that true?"
Wenlayak had just come down from the battlefield, and his expression was unusually relaxed. The thorn flowers on the battlefield calmed down at this moment.
“…It’s true.”
Hoss looked a little uncomfortable for a moment, but this discomfort was more due to his very rare shyness.
Xu Wen could immediately notice Hoss's micro-expression, suppressed the smile on his face, raised his head and saluted Wenlaiak, then relaxed and said:
"Yes, we are getting married soon."
Wenlaiak had a pair of blue eyes like the ocean. Although he had heard the news a long time ago, he was still a little surprised and immediately offered his congratulations:
"That's really great news. When Commander Hoss and His Excellency Huven get married, please be sure to invite me. I hope I'll have the honor of attending their wedding and drinking a glass of wine."
"Of course." Huo Si nodded. "I will definitely invite you and Lord Lin Mo together when the time comes."
Lord Lin Mo is the president of the Male Insect Protection Association and also belongs to one of the aristocratic forces. His marriage with the commander of the Third Legion, Wen Laiyak, was a child marriage arranged by the family since childhood.
After getting married, they couldn't say they were in perfect harmony, but although they were rarely together, they treated each other with respect, which could be considered a pretty good Zerg marriage.
Lord Lin Mo has a severe case of misogyny. After marrying Wen Laiyak, he never married another female insect.
During that time, many female insects envied Wenlayak for being able to monopolize a male insect.
But after hearing these words, a flash of discomfort flashed across Wenlaiak's face. He just shook his head and said with some regret:
"I may disappoint you, but we are divorced."
Hoss: "..."
Xiu Wen: Ah this.
Seeing the embarrassment on Huven and Hoss's faces, Wenlaiak tactfully changed the subject:
"Let's get back to your big wedding. Don't forget to invite me so I can share in the joy."
"Okay, sure." Hoss agreed.
When Wenlayak left, Xiu Wen suddenly noticed the packaging of Wenlayak's handbag - K-type inhibitor, which is the female insect fever inhibitor with the strongest side effects.
Marriage is like a maze. Those who are inside are left with only disappointment after coming out, while those who are outside are extremely yearning for the life inside.
No one knows what the outcome will be. Maybe it will be a failure with a miserable exit, or maybe you will find true happiness.
Getting married is truly a battle song for the brave—if you’re not careful, you’ll end up with a broken head and a bloody mess.
Afterwards, Huven and Hoss selected the exoskeleton as originally planned.
A smiling Asian female salesperson in a neat uniform immediately came over with an extremely enthusiastic and professional attitude.
"Welcome, dear customer! I'm the chief product consultant here, and I'm happy to introduce you."
The sub-female first led Hoss and Xiu Wen to a lightweight exoskeleton with a simple and smooth design and beautiful lines.
"This exoskeleton uses the latest lightweight, high-strength materials, which not only greatly reduces the wearer's burden but also ensures excellent support and flexibility, taking into account both aesthetics and support."
The salesman explained in detail while expertly checking the expressions of Hoss and Huven.
Xiu Wen actually did a lot of homework before coming here, including collecting several new exoskeletons launched each year, as well as previous design concepts and related selling points of exoskeletons, and most importantly, watching a lot of buyer shows.
By doing this, he just hoped that at some point, if he could help Hoss a little bit or give him some advice, that would be the most useful thing.
After the salesman finished introducing this model, Hoss didn't say yes or no, but simply asked, "Do you have any other recommendations?"
Then, the female shrewdly turned to another exoskeleton with more comprehensive functions.
"The highlight of this exoskeleton is its intelligence. Through built-in sensors and algorithms, it can analyze the wearer's physical condition and movement needs in real time and provide personalized assistance and support."
This exoskeleton is covered with matte black lightweight alloy material, and the surface is specially treated to ensure excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance.
They then looked around at all the models of exoskeletons, and at the end, the salesman glanced at the tall male insect with a somewhat obscure look.
The salesman was actually afraid that the male insect would become impatient.
It has been almost an hour and a half since they started watching, and the male insect's impatience is the biggest disaster for a salesman.
However, surprisingly, this seems to be a male insect with a good temper. He is willing to accompany his partner to choose an exoskeleton and is also willing to marry a partner with an injured leg.
In the end, after much deliberation, Hoss and Xu Wen finally chose the intelligent exoskeleton.
When Xiu Wen saw the price, he was shocked and instantly realized his poverty and that he should work hard to make money to support his wife in the future.
But for Hoss, this price was nothing. He remained calm, nodded, swiped his card, and paid a large deposit first.
Seeing Hoss's reaction, Xu Wen suddenly felt a little worried at this moment. Would his wife have to pay for their wedding?
Wouldn’t his little stash of money be unable to support their wedding?
Actually, Xiuwen's coffers were quite substantial. He had been lavishly awarded various scholarships, and the Zerg government's subsidies to male Zergs were also generous. Personally, Xiuwen wasn't the type to spend money, and there were few places where he could spend it.
The male insect reached out and touched the wedding ring in his pocket - this was the one he had chosen after selecting dozens of rings, wanting to give Hoss a surprise.
He went to get it during his lunch break today, but he hasn't decided when to propose yet.
Xu Wen had looked into it before and found out that the Zerg didn't seem to have a tradition of proposing marriage. Wouldn't it seem strange if he proposed in this way?
Zerg usually exchange rings with each other directly at the wedding, and there is no tradition of proposing marriage at all.
In fact, Xiu Wen had been struggling with this for the entire day, but he still hadn't figured it out.
