Feeling the other person's gaze, Gu Zhilin was somewhat afraid to look at them.
He could only lower his head and whisper, "But I didn't win the aircraft competition, so... I can't be your partner yet."
Lu Jin'an frowned, then said with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "What can we do? I've already announced that you're my partner. If you refuse to be my partner now, the entire Earth Alliance will probably know tomorrow that I finally found a partner and was rejected."
"They might doubt whether I am capable of serving as a general, or whether I am still the strongest young generation in the entire Earth Alliance."
Gu Zhilin felt a pang of guilt upon hearing this, but then realized that the person was just teasing him.
“General Lu, you already had these honors before you had a partner. How could you be questioned just because I, an ordinary person, rejected you?” He pouted. “You don’t need to treat me like an idiot.”
Lu Jin'an hadn't expected to actually fool him, so she could only laugh and say, "Okay, I made up the rest of the story, but... I was serious about the beginning. So I'm here to apologize to you now. In order to prevent you from getting too angry, I'll play the victim first. Let's see if I can get your sympathy and stop you from being angry with me."
Gu Zhilin was surprised by the man's honesty and felt a little embarrassed.
"What do I have to be angry about?" He kept his head down, feeling that Lu Jin'an seemed strange today.
His attitude towards himself was also somewhat wrong.
But if you really want to know what's wrong with him, he can't quite put his finger on it.
This person seems to have always been quite kind to me.
Lu Jin'an smiled and moved his chair closer to Gu Zhilin before continuing, "I told everyone that you were my partner without your permission, and I also informed the military."
Gu Zhilin was stunned for a moment, recalling his previous fear of being arrested, especially since the other party was from one of the so-called four major families.
Lu Jin'an's attempt to find himself must have alerted the military.
So, it seems that he reported himself as his partner in order to save himself.
"You did this to save me, how can I be angry?" Gu Zhilin looked up at the man opposite him.
Lu Jin'an still looked at him with a very serious expression.
After all, I announced you were my partner to the public without your consent, so it's too late for you to refuse now.
Gu Zhilin opened his mouth, thinking that it seemed he really had suffered a loss.
But then she thought, "I was planning to be your partner anyway, but... I can't win the aircraft race."
“You were always capable of being my partner, so what does it matter whether we win the championship or not?” Lu Jin’an said, “I’ve been waiting for you to save me.”
These words were indeed somewhat ambiguous, but Gu Zhilin knew that this person always spoke like this.
So he couldn't say anything, and sighed, "But now that I've differentiated and become an Oemga, can I still join the army and become your partner?"
The military has never stipulated that OEMGAs cannot enlist. My mother is an OEMGA and is now my father's deputy general.
Gu Zhilin looked at him with admiration: "Your mother must be very outstanding."
"She is indeed very outstanding, but Gu Zhilin, you will also be an outstanding soldier."
It feels a little strange that this person is comparing himself to his mother.
But having just regained consciousness, he couldn't think that far ahead, and could only nod and say, "Alright then, I'll enlist with you after I recover this time."
Do I need to take any exams or anything like that?
When Lu Jin'an saw that he had agreed, her eyes showed excitement but even more so, an unyielding tenderness: "You don't need to do anything, because the military has already investigated your situation and knows your abilities. You just need to enlist and participate in training."
Gu Zhilin nodded: "So does that mean everyone knows...?"
"What?"
"Everyone knows I'm the partner that the End Brain calculated for you?" Gu Zhilin lowered his head again, somewhat embarrassed.
"You care about this a lot?" Lu Jin'an clenched her fists nervously.
Gu Zhilin shook his head: "It's not that I mind or not, we're partners. If others knew about Endbrain's predictions, they would misunderstand our relationship, which wouldn't be good."
Lu Jin'an felt a lump in her throat upon hearing this.
She wanted to argue, but then she remembered that when she first met Gu Zhilin, she had said that she only wanted one partner.
Gu Zhilin was willing to get in touch with him for this very reason.
If I were to pursue him directly now...
Won't it scare people away?
What if even his partner isn't willing to do it for him anymore?
He could only nod faintly: "Don't worry about this. Not many people in the military know about the prediction results from Endbrain. They are all high-ranking officers and they won't talk about it casually. Other people in the military don't know about it."
Hearing this, Gu Zhilin finally nodded in relief: "That's good."
"I'm a little tired and want to take a nap. Do you want to go back first?" After saying this, Gu Zhilin felt very tired, something that had never happened before.
He guessed it was because of the recent differentiation.
Lu Jin'an knew this was because Gu Zhilin had just differentiated and had been given an inhibitor.
So she went over and helped him lie back down on the bed, covering him with the blanket: "Go to sleep, I'll stay here and watch over you. I'll leave once you're asleep."
Gu Zhilin stared wide-eyed at the man: "What... is wrong?"
"Um?"
"Although I differentiated into an Oemga, I did not differentiate into a porcelain doll that does not need anyone to guard me."
Lu Jin'an was both amused and annoyed by his words, and could only say helplessly, "Can't I just want to look at you?"
Gu Zhilin was even more embarrassed now. He huddled his head closer to the blanket and said, "But I can't sleep with someone here."
Seeing this, Lu Jin'an had no choice but to get up and say, "Alright, I'll go out first. If you need anything, just call me."
"I'm fine. Even if I need to, I'll contact Dr. Zhou. Why would I call you?" Gu Zhilin really wanted to say that this person was acting very strangely today.
Lu Jin'an knew he had been too obvious, but he...
"Dr. Zhou is too busy. I've been here for the past few days, so it'll be easier for you to call me." With that, she turned and left the room.
I was afraid that if I slowed down even a step, this person would say something that would make me angry.
You can't get angry.
After Lu Jin'an left, Gu Zhilin didn't actually go to sleep; instead, he sat up and meditated.
He could feel that his mental strength had increased after he differentiated, and his sea of consciousness seemed to have changed as well.
Sure enough, during his meditation, a vast universe appeared directly in his mind.
Now he could be certain that although cosmic radiation was harmful to ancient people, it was the essence of the sun and moon that could promote human cultivation.
Modern people have adapted to cosmic radiation, so their starting point for cultivation is higher than that of ancient people.
Wen Yili is one such example.
