StarCraft 5
The next day, before Mai Wei met Tao Yuan, he felt a strange mixture of anticipation and nervousness. He had never felt anything like this before. Some said he might never know what it felt like to be in love. Even he himself believed that his only emotions in this life might be towards mechas.
Watching Tao Yuan walking towards him from afar, Mai Wei's mind reappeared the scene of last night's dream. The naked Tao Yuan and the now clothed Tao Yuan overlapped in his eyes. He tried hard to suppress the surging feelings in his heart.
Tao Yuan walked up to him and saw that he looked a little strange. He asked in confusion, "General Mai Wei, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"...No, I'm fine." Mai Wei closed his eyes, used his mental strength to calm himself down, then looked at Tao Yuan and said, "Let's go."
"You...if you're really not feeling well, why not take a day off today?" Tao Yuan looked at his calm face, but still felt something was amiss, so he advised, "Your health is more important than anything else. Only when you're in good physical condition can you unleash your full mental strength. Resting your body is also about better performance, isn't it?"
"I really don't feel unwell, I'm just a little tired. A military doctor will check my body after every training day, so you don't have to worry." Mai Wei was very happy about Tao Yuan's concern.
Tao Yuan nodded and said, "Let's go."
The two of them walked in together, passed through several doors, and arrived at Maiwei's mecha parking bay.
After getting on the mecha, Tao Yuan inserted the program crystal card that he had modified again yesterday into the secondary card slot, then took out the energy crystal card and inserted it into the energy card slot.
"I have modified this yesterday, so there shouldn't be any problems anymore. You can try it a few more times later. And here too..." While debugging, Tao Yuan pointed at the instruments and told Mai Wei where the program had been modified.
After debugging was almost done, Tao Yuan wanted to open the mirror protector, but it was a little too high for him to reach while sitting. When he was about to stand up, Mai Wei had already stood up to help him open it. However, since Mai Wei opened it while sitting, he slightly pressed on Tao Yuan.
This was the first physical contact between the two in this life. Tao Yuan was stunned when he felt his weight, not knowing whether he did it on purpose or unintentionally.
Mai Wei actually did it on purpose, because the person in his dream last night had a soft and smooth body, which made him unable to control his urge to touch him.
Tao Yuan pretended to feel nothing and continued his movements. He couldn't respond to Mai Wei's actions for the time being, because he chose to join Mai Wei for the purpose of revenge for the original owner's lover. If he "changed his heart" so quickly, he would seem too frivolous and sentimental.
Mai Wei, watching Tao Yuan's unmoved, serious demeanor, felt a surge of resentment. Normally, wherever he went, a glance from the females would send them into a frenzy, trying every way to get his attention. In the military zone, wherever he walked, females would peek at him. If it weren't for the strict military discipline, they'd surely have done something to attract his attention. He hadn't felt any of this before, but now he suddenly felt a sense of loss, his charm failing to work.
When Mai Wei thought that Tao Yuan was still thinking about his lost "lover", he couldn't help feeling sad. But then he thought that since the person was dead, it was impossible for him to come back to life and fight with him, and he felt much more comfortable.
The debugging and testing time every day is two to three hours, but Mai Wei feels that these three hours passed a little too quickly. It felt like less than thirty minutes had passed before he had to send Tao Yuan away again, and they could only wait until the next day to meet again.
Tao Yuan returned to the programming department office. Just after he sat down for a while, he heard a few seconds of music coming from the glass wall. He looked out, then pressed the automatic door switch and opened the glass door.
"Is there something wrong?" Tao Yuan asked the person who walked in.
"Hello, my name is Segri, and I'm a member of Group 2." Segri introduced himself.
Tao Yuan knew from his appearance that he was not just who he introduced himself as.
Tao Yuan raised his hand and said to him, "Please sit down."
"I don't have anything important to do. I just wanted to talk to you and get to know each other." Segri smiled at Tao Yuan and said, "Although we are in different groups, in our department, even if everyone has a certain degree of competition at work, we all have a good relationship privately. You've been here for a few days, but I noticed that you don't often go to the rest area to talk to everyone. I thought you might be shy, so I came to you to tell you that if you are tired from work, you can take a break and chat with everyone to relax."
"Thank you for your concern. I'm in a hurry to finish the work at hand, so I'm very busy. I've always been a taciturn person. I hope you don't mind." Tao Yuan also said with a smile. He has lived for so many lifetimes and has become very skilled in seeing through people's hearts. For someone like Segiri, it would be too naive for him to pretend to deceive him.
"What's so annoying about that? If you don't like to talk, it's nice to listen to me talk about interesting things. It's better than being alone and getting bored."
Tao Yuan smiled and nodded.
"I heard that you were brought in by General Maiwei with special approval. I'm quite curious. How did you know General Maiwei?" Segri asked curiously.
"By chance, General Mai Wei took a fancy to the program crystal card I wrote. As for the specific process, I am not in a position to say more because of confidentiality regulations." Tao Yuan thought, it is finally time to get to the point.
"My brother and General Mai Wei are good friends who grew up together. Our families have a very good relationship, and I can be said to have grown up under General Mai Wei's watch. Since you were brought here by General Mai Wei, if you need any help in the future, just tell me. Although we are in different groups, I will definitely help you wherever I can."
"Thank you." Tao Yuan didn't say yes or no, but he felt very disdainful in his heart, because he knew that Segri just wanted to express to him that he was very familiar with Mai Wei.
"Then I'm going to work. I won't disturb you. If you have anything, you can come to me. If you don't have anything, you can come and talk to me. Don't be polite to me." After saying this, Segri got up and left.
Tao Yuan kept smiling but did not give any answer.
After watching Segri walk out, Tao Yuan continued with his work while thinking about what he had found out through the system.
Because in the past few days, Tao Yuan felt that Segri was always secretly observing him, and he thought he was hiding well, so he used the system to check him.
Segri had a crush on Maiwei, and had done so for many years, from childhood. His older brother was indeed a very close friend of Maiwei, and knowing that Segri liked Maiwei, he had created opportunities for them to be together many times. However, relationships don't just develop through opportunities to spend time together.
Maiwei had no feelings for Segli and told Segli's eldest brother that a relationship between them was impossible and asked him to stop getting involved in unnecessary things. Later, seeing Segli's daily depression and his deep love for Maiwei, his eldest brother advised him to give up and wait for a new love. However, Segli could not let go of his feelings for Maiwei and would pay attention to everything and everyone related to Maiwei.
Mai Wei became a general before he was even forty years old. In addition to the fact that he possessed the A1 mental power that very few people possessed, his personal military talent was also quite outstanding. Coupled with his tall, strong, handsome and handsome appearance, he exuded fatally attractive male hormones.
As soon as Segri heard that Tao Yuan was brought in by Mai Wei, he immediately began to pay attention to him. Seeing that Tao Yuan was handsome, he was worried that he would fall in love with Mai Wei and pursue him. As he was from a noble family, he couldn't threaten or warn Tao Yuan directly. So his purpose in visiting Tao Yuan was to first establish a good relationship with him, and then slowly make him realize the reality and stop having any improper thoughts about Mai Wei.
How could Tao Yuan not guess his purpose? But before he made any move, Tao Yuan just dealt with him briefly.
When Mai Wei was sleeping at night, he dreamed of Tao Yuan again. In the dream, Tao Yuan turned him over and over and did that kind of thing to him. When he felt infinitely satisfied, the person in the dream disappeared again. After he woke up in shock, he felt very empty and lost again.
After waking up, Mai Wei tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. No matter how satisfying his dream was, it was just a dream after all. He thought, how nice it would be if the real person could be in his arms at this moment.
Mai Wei hesitated again and again, but finally couldn't help it. He turned on the communicator, played the projection, and looked at Tao Yuan's sleeping face. As he looked at it, he couldn't help but smile, feeling very satisfied.
Then he raised his hand, wanting to touch Tao Yuan's face, or even kiss him, but when he stretched out his hand, he touched nothing, and then he felt a sense of emptiness again.
Mai Wei suddenly sat up, looking at Tao Yuan's face. The hesitation in his eyes faded, and he quickly became determined. He wanted to get that person, and he wanted to get her as quickly as possible. Regardless of whether he had someone else in his heart, he didn't want to wait even a single day. Indecision didn't suit his character. He always went for what he wanted, openly and proactively.
Mai Wei planned to officially start pursuing Tao Yuan. Although he had not started yet, since he had made up his mind to take action, he would not be satisfied with dreams and illusions, so he soon fell asleep.
When Tao Yuan saw Mai Wei again the next day, he could clearly feel that the way he looked at him was a little different, and his deliberate actions were also very obvious. Whether it was the thoughts in his eyes or the natural intimacy in his behavior, they all conveyed to Tao Yuan that he was pursuing him.
Although Tao Yuan wanted to respond to him, it was not the right time yet, so she could only avoid his gaze and his intimate actions as much as possible.
However, Mai Wei was not discouraged or unhappy at all because of Tao Yuan's escape, because since he had made up his mind to pursue Tao Yuan, he naturally had plenty of patience to treat him.
The mecha competition among the five major military regions has entered the countdown. Mai Wei is too busy to find Tao Yuan. After Tao Yuan completed the upgrade of Mai Wei's Class A program, he felt much more relaxed. He only needs to complete some simple tasks assigned to him by the team leader.
However, even when he had no work to do, he would rather stay in the office and make some energy crystal cards than go to the lounge area to talk and chat with them as Segrie suggested.
The competition finally began. After several days of preliminaries, Maiwei successfully advanced to the finals, competing against the Second Military Region for the title of the Empire's Strongest Mecha Warrior. Because the finals were open, everyone in each department who had free time could watch the live broadcast of the competition during their departmental meetings.
Of course Tao Yuan also wanted to go and see. When he was walking towards the meeting room, he happened to meet Segri and his group who were also walking towards the meeting room.
"Are you going to the conference room to watch the game too?" Segri asked Tao Yuan with a smile.
"Yes." Tao Yuan nodded, thinking that this was really nonsense.
"Then sit with us." After saying that, Segri took Tao Yuan's wrist and walked into the conference room, acting as if he had a good relationship with him.
The conference room is so big that every sofa chair is equally comfortable, and there is a low table between each sofa chair, so Tao Yuan doesn't care where he sits.
