The federal military academy opened in the second month after Chu Rong and Georgia went on their honeymoon.
Chu Yan was a little worried. The academic training was about to start, but he had lost the mecha maker he was bound to. [Knight] was too special and few people could repair it. He was afraid that his mission would be over.
"Go find Mr. Ren or Master Shang." Yuan Xiu gave a completely unreliable suggestion.
Chu Yan looked at him as if he was a fool and said, "It takes half a month to complete the training mission. Do you think your suggestion is realistic?"
Unrealistic, very unrealistic.
Yuan Xiu silently put away his nonchalant attitude. Seeing that his friend was really distressed, he frowned and thought for a while, then continued to suggest: "What about Mr. Ronnie? Or ask Mr. Ren for an assistant? Don't tell me that you don't have a mecha maker trained by yourself."
"Teacher Ronnie will lead the team. Mr. Ren's assistants are now busy with the popularization project of comprehensive mechas. As for the mecha maker trained by my family... forget it, I'd better bring an extra spare mecha. The [Knight] will not be used for the time being."
Chu Yan rejected his suggestions one by one, sighed deeply and lay down on the table.
Yuan Xiu then remembered that the mecha manufacturers trained by the Chu family had been wiped out along with Chu's mother in the initial human-insect war. The Chu family's focus has been on the military in recent years. Except for Ren Lao's group and Georgia, new mecha manufacturers have not had time to be selected and trained.
Thinking of his friend's family situation, which had only improved over the past two or three years, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "How about you and I share a mecha maker? The one I invited this time is Ning Kongran, and his skills are very reliable."
After the war, Ning Kongran came back to continue his studies, still majoring in mecha manufacturing. However, there were rumors that he had already applied to change his major, wanting to switch to the unpopular special department of mental power research, which was specifically connected with the hermit rescue department.
The overall environment was not good in the past few years, and the special department's mental power research major was completely unable to recruit people. He was the first person to try it out in recent years.
Thinking of Ning Kongran, Chu Yan frowned, then quickly shook his head and said, "My mission is different from yours. I am also studying the command department, and my mission is to follow the command department. I am not in the same place as you."
Yuan Xiu was completely at a loss now. Just as he was about to suggest that he ask the teacher to randomly match him with a student from the Mecha Manufacturing Department who also hadn't found a teammate, he saw Xiang Kun walking by the window from the corner of his eye. An idea suddenly occurred to him, and he patted Chu Yan hard, saying excitedly, "There's another person! Xiang Kun! Isn't he also able to inspect and repair Knights? He happens to be in the same grade as us! You've become friends with him, so invite him to join us!"
Chu Yan was choked by his words before he could even let out a cry of pain. He reached out to touch his shoulder and sat up straight. His attitude suddenly became awkward and evasive. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. I'll look for someone else. Maybe Sangbu hasn't found a teammate yet..."
"But Xiang Kun just passed by us. Opportunities are rare. I still think it's better for you to invite him." Yuan Xiu pointed outside the window. Putting aside the bad relationship between them when they were young, he still felt that Xiang Kun was the most suitable candidate.
"What? Passing by us?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yan immediately stood up, turned his head and looked out the window, but saw no one, so he sat down hesitantly and said, "He may have found teammates when he came to the Mecha Pilot Department. Forget it, I'll look for someone else... and my relationship with him hasn't improved. Every time I talk to him, he's lukewarm, as if he hates me..." As he spoke, his voice gradually became lower, and the last two sentences were almost just uttered on the tip of his tongue.
Yuan Xiu only heard the first two sentences clearly. He turned his head to look at him strangely, frowned and said, "Why are you so indecisive now? This is not like you. What's wrong with you? Why are you only entering puberty now?"
Chu Yan had already quietly withered back down. He laid on the table and waved at him weakly, his mind wandering off to who knows where again.
Seeing this, Yuan Xiu felt that something was wrong with him. Thinking of Xiang Kun who had just left, he thought about it and took out the communicator.
In the battle building of the Mecha Driving Department, Xiang Kun politely thanked the classmates who helped him. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the communicator rang. He opened it and saw that it was a message from Yuan Xiu. He clicked on it with some surprise.
[Come to Canteen B after school. Chu Yan wants to see you.]
Um?
Xiang Kun narrowed his eyes, thinking of what Georgia had told him before he left. He moved his fingers, replied with a "received" and closed the message, then walked out of the building.
After school, Chu Yan was dragged to Canteen B by Yuan Xiu, and then Yuan Xiu left with an excuse and didn't come back for a long time.
He was puzzled and was about to get up to look for it when there was a sudden darkness in front of him. Xiang Kun sat down opposite him with an expressionless face and extended his hand.
"Give it to me, Knight."
Chu Yan's eyes widened, and his half-dead expression immediately became lively. Just as the corners of his mouth were about to curl up, he was pressed down fiercely. He deliberately leaned back in the chair like a master and said coldly: "Why should I give it to you? That's my mecha."
Xiang Kun frowned, guessing that he was playing tricks on him again. He glared at him unhappily, then stood up and wanted to leave.
The person who used to bite when teased now walks away when teased. Chu Yan froze, then stood up and blocked him without thinking, finding some boring and childish things to say, "You just sat opposite me and made me lose my appetite. You have to compensate me for a meal!"
Xiang Kun stopped, frowned even more tightly, looked him up and down, lowered his head to take out a nutrient solution from the space button and stuffed it into his hand, then walked around him and walked away without looking back.
"???"
Chu Yan looked at the nutrient in his hand, then turned back to look at Xiang Kun's cold and ruthless back. He choked up in his heart and then exploded with anger. He opened his mouth to scold Xiang Kun back, but when he noticed the students passing by, he swallowed his words silently and sat back in his seat holding his breath.
Yuan Xiu, who was secretly hiding in the corner observing the situation, didn't expect that the two would part on bad terms. After a moment of stunned silence, he hurried over and sat opposite Chu Yan who was sulking alone, and asked anxiously: "What happened? Didn't you ask Xiang Kun for help? Also, why did your relationship deteriorate again? Didn't it ease up before?"
Chu Yan was stunned when he heard this, then looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Do you know he is coming?"
Yuan Xiu looked up at the sky with a guilty conscience.
The two had grown up together. Chu Yan knew what was going on in his mind as soon as he saw his expression. He suddenly realized something, reached out and pulled him over, gnashing his teeth and asking, "Did you call Xiang Kun here? What did you do behind my back? Since you called him here, why didn't you tell me earlier!"
"Let go, let go, and be careful about your image." Yuan Xiu quickly pressed his shoulders to comfort him. Seeing that he was really anxious, he quickly chose to confess and said, "I was just worried about you. Besides, he came too fast and I didn't have time to say anything... So what did you say to him just now? When he came over, he seemed to be in a good mood, but you pissed him off as soon as you opened your mouth. Did you scold him?"
"What the hell am I cursing!" Chu Yan couldn't help but swear. Thinking of what he just said, he scratched his hair irritably and said, "I might as well curse him!" After saying that, he stood up, turned around and strode out of the cafeteria to chase him.
Yuan Xiu hadn't seen him so irritated and annoyed for a long time. He felt that something was wrong with his mood and frowned in worry.
Canteen B connects several campuses. When Chu Yan chased him out, Xiang Kun had already disappeared. He stayed there for a while, then walked towards the Mecha Manufacturing Department decisively, dialing Xiang Kun's number while walking.
Reject, reject, reject... Do not disturb.
“Damn it!”
He became more and more annoyed, and when he saw the mobility scooters passing by, he realized that he had been foolish enough to chase people with his legs. He raised his hand and patted his forehead, then quickly took out his mobility scooter and drove towards the Mecha Manufacturing Department.
It was already time to go home from school, and the streets were filled with students, but he immediately spotted Xiang Kun's fleeting figure in front of the Mecha Manufacturing Department's Practice Building. He hurriedly stopped his scooter and ran towards the practice building. Relying on his excellent SS-level physique, he managed to insert his hand into the elevator door as it was about to close.
Xiang Kun in the elevator was startled and hurriedly opened the door. Seeing Chu Yan panting at the door, he was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "What are you doing?"
"sorry."
Chu Yan apologized as soon as he opened his mouth. After squeezing into the elevator, he explained while panting: "The communication in the afternoon was sent by Yuan Xiu without my knowledge. I didn't know he made an appointment with you on my behalf. I didn't mean to anger you before. Here, [Knight]."
As he said that, he took out the space button of the mecha and stuffed it into his hand. He also shook his hand and asked him to hold the space button tightly, indicating that he had absolutely no intention of being unwilling to show him the [Knight].
The elevator door slowly closed, and because of his height, Chu Yan's breath sprayed on Xiang Kun's ears.
A confined space can easily magnify one's five senses, the warm breath beside the ear, the body with a strong presence beside him, the overwhelming and overbearing aura surrounding him, and the mecha space button on the palm that still carries the other person's body temperature and the big hand holding him.
Everything was magnified. Xiang Kun's pupils shrank as he looked at Chu Yan's profile reflected in the elevator door. The palpitation he felt when he saw Chu Yan driving the mecha towards the Zerg outside the cabin came to his mind again. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly pulled his hand away from his grip. He moved to the side by pressing the floor button and said, "I understand. [Knight] I will repair it as soon as possible and will not delay your mission."
Chu Yan was stunned for a moment after getting the other party's forgiveness so easily. He looked at his neck when he lowered his head and found that the curve was quite beautiful. He felt a little happy inexplicably. He unconsciously moved closer to him and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. Take your time to repair it. Um... are you free recently? I'm about to go on a mission, but I haven't found a suitable mecha maker yet. You know, [Knight] is a little special. Well, anyway, can you, um,..."
"I'm busy." Xiang Kun refused straightforwardly. After the elevator door opened, he stepped out and left the enclosed space filled with Chu Yan's aura. He turned around and looked at him, as if he was explaining it to him, or to himself, and said a little coldly: "I am willing to help you repair the mecha now because Qiao asked me to do so before he left. Don't misunderstand. I wish you a smooth mission. Goodbye."
After saying that, he turned and left without any regrets.
The elevator door closed. Chu Yan looked at his own face reflected in the door. He was dumbfounded and stiff. He was stunned for a while, then frowned hard, lowered his head and ruffled his hair, and cursed: "Fuck!"
As for what the fuck happened, he didn't know. He only knew that he had acted like a fool today.
Chu Yan became absent-minded. He casually accepted the teammates randomly assigned to him by the teacher, prepared the spare mecha, and began to concentrate on preparing for the mission.
Yuan Xiu felt that it was his own decision that day that caused him to miss the last suitable mecha maker, and he apologized to him guiltily. Chu Yan was a little absent-minded when he heard this, then patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't blame you, don't blame you, good brother, don't care about these things, go to the battle hall to practice tonight? I haven't driven a mecha purely with mental power for a long time, I need to get used to it."
Seeing that he had returned to his usual self, Yuan Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest without saying a word, and accepted his invitation.
Chu Yan fought particularly hard that night and actually destroyed the spare mecha. Yuan Xiu started to worry again, but Chu Yan said that he enjoyed the fight and it didn't matter if the spare mecha was broken, because he had another one at home.
After practicing like this for a few more days, Xiang Kun asked someone to send the [Knight] over without even showing up.
Chu Yan's expression froze for a moment, then he quickly raised a warm and polite smile and sent the person who delivered the mecha away. Without even looking at the [Knight], he took out a spare mecha and signaled Yuan Xiu to continue practicing.
Yuan Xiu frowned and wanted to say something, but considering that the mission was about to begin, he swallowed his words silently and continued to practice with him.
Until the mission officially began and all the students boarded the ship to the mission site under the organization of the school, Chu Yan did not touch the [Knight] again. Judging from the posture, it seemed that he was ready to complete the mission directly with the spare mecha.
In order to celebrate the end of the war, the military academy prepared a particularly difficult training mission this year. Chu Yan studied two subjects at the same time, and the mission he got was even more difficult. Although his strength was greatly improved in the battle with the Zerg, the mecha he used limited his performance and greatly reduced his mission completion rate.
Before departure, his random teammates were very worried that the mission would not be completed and would lower Chu Yan's usual score.
Chu Yan, however, acted very calm. He took him into the mecha and said soothingly, "Don't worry, I promise to bring you back safely."
Half a month later, Chu Yan kept his promise and returned safely with his teammates, but he himself was seriously injured.
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't been slow in getting on the mecha, Chu Yan wouldn't have been injured while helping me cover the rear."
The teammate blamed himself. The teacher who led the team after listening to his report was stunned and asked in surprise: "Wait, you mean Chu Yan did not use his main mecha, but used the backup mecha to complete the mission?"
My teammates didn't understand why the teacher reacted like that, so they nodded and said, "Yes, Chu Yan never took out his [Knight] from beginning to end. It's a pity that the [Knight] inspection and basic maintenance information that Xiang Kun gave me before was not used."
The teacher collapsed upon hearing this and quickly took out his communicator to report the incident to the school.
The difficulty of the tasks assigned by the military academy is determined according to the comprehensive strength of the students. As we all know, Chu Yan's [Knight] is a special-grade mecha made by Georgia himself. Taking this into consideration, the school appropriately increased the difficulty of his tasks in order to prevent Chu Yan from having an easy task and not getting the growth he should have through experience.
But who would have thought that Chu Yan didn't even use his [Knight]!
The teammates and teacher were either confused or shocked. None of them noticed that Chu Yan's eyelids on the hospital bed suddenly moved. He opened his eyes slightly, but then he couldn't resist the effect of the medicine and quickly fell asleep again.
When the students returned to the main star, all the Chu family members who got the news rushed to the port to welcome Chu Yan.
At this time, Chu Yan had recovered enough to walk on his own. When he saw his family members coming to pick him up, he jumped a few times exaggeratedly to show that he was fine. Gu Yanan was so scared that he quickly held him down and didn't allow him to move, and scolded him to be quiet.
In the corner of the port, Xiang Kun, who was sitting in the hovercraft, also saw Chu Yan's lively appearance. He put aside his worries, leaned back in the chair, pressed his forehead with a slightly tired look, and waved his hand to signal the driver to leave.
The driver was puzzled and didn't understand why he came all the way here without saying hello to Mr. Chu. Seeing that he looked exhausted, he didn't dare to say anything more and turned around and left.
Chu Yan, who was talking to Gu Yan'an on the other side, suddenly glanced over here. The smile on his face became a little cocky. He snorted softly, then rushed to Chu Huai who was holding Chu Pangpang with a smile, and ran to tease his little nephew.
A week later, in a laboratory in the practice building of the Mecha Manufacturing Department.
Xiang Kun stood in front of the operating table, operating the instrument to complete the last step of the driving system installation program. Looking at the small silver-gray mecha in front of him, he was distracted for a moment, shook his head vigorously, and walked forward to put it away.
"Xiang Kun!"
Chu Yan's voice suddenly came from the door, carrying a murderous tone.
Xiang Kun was startled, and he stuffed the space button containing the silver-gray mecha into his pocket in an attempt to hide his presence. He looked at Chu Yan who ran in angrily, and said defensively: "What are you doing here? Want to fight?"
Chu Yan didn't answer, and after approaching, he punched him directly. Xiang Kun quickly closed his eyes, and the fist wind approached. Then his shoulders sank, and a familiar breath enveloped him. The voice of someone who deserved a beating sounded in his ears: "What's there to fight with your small body? Let's go, I've been injured for so long and have to eat nutritious meals every day. I'm almost sick of it. Today is finally the day to lift the ban. Let's go for a big meal."
The body passively took two steps forward, Xiang Kun came back to his senses from his daze, and quickly pushed away Chu Yan who was hanging on him, and said: "Why should I accompany you to a big meal? I don't have time, no-"
"You are a person who says one thing and means another. Okay, okay, I'll treat you, okay? Come on, I've already reserved a table at the Jinlai Restaurant where we had a fight when we were kids. Let's not fight this time and just have a good meal."
Chu Yan didn't let him say no, and dragged him out the door, looking like a happy brother.
Due to the huge difference in physical strength, Xiang Kun couldn't persuade him. When he talked about his childhood, he was slightly distracted. It was this moment that made him get on Chu Yan's boat and accompany him for a big meal.
While eating, Chu Yan kept chattering about his experience during the training and kept picking up food for Xiang Kun.
Xiang Kun put on a cold face, but Chu Yan pretended not to see it. Without answering, Chu Yan could talk to himself all night. Instead of picking up his chopsticks to show his resistance, Chu Yan simply piled his bowl with dishes, and then deliberately called the waiter to add water and rice, forcing him to pick up his chopsticks under the waiter's strange eyes.
"Alas, if you had followed me on the mission, I would definitely not have gotten hurt."
Chu Yan ended the one-man storytelling session with a slightly flattering sigh, then very naturally reached out to pour out all the cold food in Xiang Kun's bowl, replaced his bowl with a new one and scooped a bowl of soup for him, saying, "Here, your favorite soup, drink more." After that, he stood up and began to adjust the constant temperature device on the table to heat up the food.
Xiang Kun was stunned, looking at the steaming soup in front of him, remembering the time when he deliberately spilled soup on Chu Yan as a child, causing Chu Yan to fight with him here. His brows softened and he lowered his head to pick up the spoon.
Chu Yan, who was observing him out of the corner of his eye, curled the corner of his mouth, sat back in the chair, and shook his head comfortably.
He said that Xiang Kun was a kid that he had beaten up since he was a child, so how could his genes mutate and his personality change when he grew up? He was obviously just a fool who could only use stupid methods to achieve his goals, but he had to put on a cold face and pretend to be cool, which was really worrying.
The atmosphere unconsciously became milder, and the meal was successfully completed. Chu Yan even bought a restaurant-related doll and stuffed it into Xiang Kun's hand, under the pretext of commemorating their first dinner together.
Xiang Kun had a look of disgust on his face, but he threw the silly rice ball doll into the space button.
The two of them walked all the way back to school and parted at a fork in the road. Chu Yan got on the scooter and was about to start it when he suddenly remembered something and stuck his head out and said, "Thank you for your [Knight] inspection and basic repair information. Please be my teammate for the end-of-term training exam. I'll come find you. Good night."
After saying that, he retracted his head, hummed a tune, and drove away in his scooter.
Xiang Kun was stunned. Listening to his humming gradually faded away, his ears felt a little hot, but his expression suddenly darkened. After starting the scooter, he said angrily: "What are you singing? It's so ugly! It really pollutes my ears!"
