The military has strict discipline, and although Lu Jin'an's identity is different, he also had the Alliance's permission to go out and find a partner.
But after leaving Gu Zhilin's house, he immediately returned to the training base.
There were already people waiting in his room.
"So? Have you found a partner yet?" A white-haired man who looked like a young man was sitting slouching on the sofa in Lu Jin'an's living room.
He was holding a glass of natural fruit juice in his hand, with a smile on his face as he watched the show unfold.
Lu Jin'an frowned: "Judy, how did he get in?"
“Master, you granted Jiang Zhanjiang the right to enter the living room a week ago.” A mechanical female voice rang out in the living room, and then a female robot figure walked over from the balcony kitchen, carrying a small piece of apple in her hand.
Jiang Jiyang beckoned, and Judy walked towards him with an apple in her hand.
"You seem quite comfortable here." Lu Jin'an snorted coldly, then said to Judy, "Cancel Jiang Jiyang's access."
"Tsk tsk tsk... Getting angry out of embarrassment, it seems either your ideal partner doesn't meet your requirements, or you've been rejected. I guess it's the second." Jiang Jiyang nonchalantly took the apple Judy offered, even though it was just a small piece.
However, with the introduction of cosmic radiation into Earth, the number of natural fruits is decreasing.
Even this small piece of apple is something that ordinary people can't afford.
Mentioning Gu Zhilin, Lu Jin'an sighed: "He doesn't seem to want to join the army."
"Is it that you don't want to join the army? Or that you don't want to be your partner?" Jiang Jiyang raised an eyebrow.
“He never considered the idea of a partner from the very beginning.” Lu Jin’an sighed again. From childhood to adulthood, he had always been the most desired Alhpa in the hearts of all the people of the Earth Alliance, but today he was rejected by an ancient person.
“Even you would refuse, so it seems your best partner is no ordinary person!” Hearing that Lu Jin’an had been rejected, Jiang Jiyang became even more interested: “Tell me more about this ancient person. What’s the difference between ancient people and us? I heard from the research association that he’s a beta. A beta is the most compatible with you. It seems you’ll never be able to enjoy the happiness of Alhpa in this lifetime.”
Lu Jin'an snatched the fruit plate from the other person's hand and stuffed it into her mouth: "What's wrong with beta? Beta is fine, and you don't have to worry about being affected by pheromones."
"But she didn't even like you. Didn't you try using your beauty?" Jiang Jiyang chuckled as he swallowed the apple in his mouth.
Upon hearing this, Lu Jin'an shifted her gaze with a somewhat unpleasant expression.
Jiang Jiyang sensed something was off about her guilty behavior: "What's wrong? Does the other person really not like you?"
Lu Jin'an thought for a moment: "It shouldn't be."
"What happened?"
He said that with my appearance, I was destined to suffer in love.
"Hahahaha... Lu Jin'an, you've finally met your match! Your ideal partner is so interesting. When can you take me to meet you?" Jiang Jiyang was genuinely interested in Gu Zhilin, someone who dared to reject Lu Jin'an and even said he would suffer the pain of love.
Everyone suffers from the pain of love, how could Lu Jin'an possibly?
But then he thought again, if the other party is someone who rejects Lu Jin'an, then maybe it really is true.
"Are you sick?" Lu Jin'an frowned, not wanting to talk to this person.
"General Lu, just thinking about how you'll suffer the pain of love with that little beta makes me feel like your life will be perfect. After all, life can't always be smooth sailing, right?" Jiang Jiyang suppressed a laugh and patted the other man's shoulder earnestly.
But Lu Jin'an brushed his arm away: "I'm looking for him to be my partner, not to find a lover. There's no love involved, understand?"
"and……"
"And what?" Jiang Jiyang raised an eyebrow.
"And he said he couldn't let his other half suffer. If he really is my destined other half, I think I shouldn't be able to endure this kind of suffering." Thinking of Gu Zhilin's appearance, Lu Jin'an couldn't help but curl up a subtle smile.
"What do you mean? Are you equating finding a partner with love?" Jiang Ji raised his eyebrows, looking like he was watching a melon.
But how could Lu Jin'an possibly give him that chance? "I think you're too idle. Cancel your trip this week. The Moon Fortress is short-staffed, so go and help them out."
"What? You were rejected by your best partner and you're sending me to the moon? I don't agree to that!" Jiang Jiyang stood up from the sofa to express his dissatisfaction.
But in the face of military discipline, no amount of dissatisfaction mattered: "General Jiang, I hereby order you in the name of a general to depart for the lunar fortress immediately and return in one week."
Without giving the other person time to react, she had Judy push the person out of her room.
After the person left, Lu Jin'an sighed softly. There was one thing he had to admit: he seemed to be completely helpless in front of Gu Zhilin.
He couldn't use coercion or bribery, but he also seemed unable to sway the other party in any other way.
It seems the other party doesn't even care about him personally.
Has my charm diminished?
Gu Zhilin was unaware of Lu Jin'an's doubts.
He went out today because the divination indicated that there would be business to be done. He has been awake in this future world for half a year and has gradually adapted to his current life.
However, loneliness is inevitable. In 2024, he was the only Taoist in the country to enter the Foundation Establishment stage. Unfortunately, he had not been able to experience the joy of Foundation Establishment for long before he was diagnosed with late-stage stomach cancer.
Although Foundation Establishment improved his physical fitness, his cultivation level was still insufficient when faced with diseases that medicine could not cure.
Therefore, the government decided to include him in the cryopreservation program, and thaw him out when technology advances to the point where late-stage stomach cancer can be easily cured.
He thought it would only take a dozen years, but he never expected that he would sleep for more than 1,500 years.
According to modern historical data, the nuclear wastewater discharge incident in Country R in 2024 led to a sharp decline in the Earth's ecology.
Two years later, the Earth's magnetic field disappeared, and unobstructed cosmic radiation entered the Earth.
Humanity has officially entered the apocalyptic era.
In the apocalypse, the human population dwindled drastically, with only a fraction of the population surviving.
Ultimately, those who survived that catastrophe were all mutants transformed by cosmic radiation; these mutants were essentially evolved humans.
In addition to the initial distinction between male and female, humans undergo a secondary developmental process.
Through secondary development, humanity entered the Abo world, and technology advanced accordingly, officially ushering in the interstellar age.
At the same time, it also solved the mystery of whether there was life on Mars. In fact, there is life on Mars, and it is eyeing Earth covetously.
Their technology and overall quality far surpass those of humans, and they have long coveted Earth as their habitat.
