So it was a dragon.
Ling Miao was surprised, thinking it might be some kind of sweet-toothed animal.
However, as if remembering something, she continued to ask with great interest: "Is it the kind of Western dragon with a fat belly and wings on its back?"
What is a Western dragon?
Susan was curious about the strange thoughts in Ling Miao's mind. "I'm not sure, but how could an admiral's beast form possibly have a belly!"
Her voice rose, clearly indicating her dissatisfaction with Ling Miao's statement.
Ling Miao reluctantly stopped the conversation, recalling that the totem her country favored in her previous life was also the dragon.
However, the dragons in Eastern countries look quite different from the dragons revered in the West.
She made wild guesses for a while, and then, remembering the surnames of most of the people here, she suddenly felt inexplicably that the other person must be a Western dragon.
I just don't know if there's any difference between the dragons of the interstellar era and those depicted in the West in my previous life.
Thinking of this, Ling Miao suddenly remembered the gift she had asked Avril and the others to give to the general before she left.
You should have received it by now, right?
Federal Military Academy Principal's Office
Cedrian looked at the exquisite gift box beside him. The box was dark in color and decorated with some red ribbons. At first glance, it was understated and inconspicuous.
The box wasn't very big, only about half the size of his palm, perhaps for easy portability.
As he thought about it, his fingers were already honestly on the box, starting to untie the ribbons.
Unexpected, yet somehow logical.
Cedrian saw the candy, which was neatly wrapped.
They were wrapped in transparent candy wrappers, making it easy to see the shapes inside.
There were snow-white round candies, and some that were shaped like cute animals, semi-transparent, and looked like fruit.
But the cutest one is placed right in the center, a little bear standing upright, holding a lollipop.
It's a honey-yellow color all over, and there's a stick stuck in the bottom of the bear for easy carrying.
Cedrian picked up the little bear lollipop; it was the color of honey and had a honey-like sweetness.
Before I even put it to my lips, I could already smell its sweet aroma.
The other person's sly smile seemed to appear before my eyes, their eyes crinkling, just like the adorable little bear I was holding.
Suddenly I felt a little reluctant to eat it.
Cedrian hesitated for a moment, then put the bear back in the box and picked up a snow-white, round candy instead.
A rich milky aroma wafts across the tongue, and the sweet, milky flavor quickly spreads throughout the entire mouth.
He took out his Star Brain and hesitantly made some edits.
Thank you, it was delicious.
He wasn't surprised that she could tell he had a sweet tooth; just like her profession, she had a natural sensitivity to diners.
There has been no reply from them for a long time.
Cedrian suddenly became agitated, and a few voices came from the doorway.
"Enter."
Yarshi, who was still talking, paused, then pushed open the door with a bitter expression.
Sony followed closely behind.
"What's up?"
Cedrian looked at the two adjutants standing below him.
Yarsey quickly shook his head and stepped forward to explain, "I just came to ask Sony which candy he thinks tastes best."
Sony nodded slightly.
The air pressure suddenly dropped, and the room fell silent for a moment.
Therefore, he wasn't the only one who had the candy.
Yarshi and his companion were uneasy, wondering why the air pressure had suddenly become so cold.
"Let me see your boxes."
Yarsi, completely bewildered, took out the box in his hand and handed it over.
Cedrian looked at the box that was exactly the same as his own and felt depressed.
He lifted the lid of the box, and his slightly furrowed brows relaxed.
There are no bear lollipops.
Their candies were more casual than their own, as if they were just thrown in anywhere.
My mood suddenly soared, like a roller coaster reaching its peak.
He curled his lips, a hint of warmth appearing on his cold, stern face. "Take it back."
Yarsi took his box, and the two of them walked out the door, completely bewildered.
"What happened to the general?"
Sony remained silent, recalling the general's expression from earlier.
Is it a box?
No, it should be candy.
The general's emotions changed after the box was opened.
His eyes were complicated, as if he had thought of something, and his pupils widened for a moment.
Hearing Yarsi's question, he collected his thoughts, hesitated, and shook his head.
Don't make things up without evidence.
The other person didn't seem to be expecting an answer from him, muttered a few words, and strode away.
"I must say, this candy is actually quite delicious."
As he sighed, Yarsi took a few steps back, patted Sony on the shoulder,
"It would be even better if there were spicy snacks."
He smacked his lips, unaware of the strange expression that flashed across Sony's face for a moment.

"Dear passengers, your starship wu-8505 has arrived at Tadal. Passengers arriving at this station, please gather your belongings in advance..."
The announcement echoed several times, growing louder as it approached. Ling Miao rubbed her eyes, stood up, and stretched. "This long journey is really not for humans," she muttered.
"It's the same even in the interstellar age."
"What?"
Susan asked her curiously, "I didn't hear you clearly."
Ling Miao smiled and shook her head, "It's nothing, I just feel that traveling by starship is not easy, the long distance is too tiring."
Susan nodded in agreement, rubbing her arm. "Finally home."
"Absolutely, it's been incredibly difficult."
"By the way, did you tell your fans that you're back?"
