Chapter 112 Your Answer
Jiang Xun and Jiang Ling pierced their earrings by hand.
After Chen Luan left, they changed the cufflinks Chen Luan gave them into earrings and wore them on their bodies.
But now Chen Luan was holding the other cufflink in the pair, smiling and asking for their help.
The moment Chen Luan's smiling voice fell, they even thought they had heard it wrong.
All the sounds and colors around seemed to fade away, and I could not hear anything in my ears that were filled with noise and reverberation. All that was left in front of me was Chen Luan's smiling eyes and the small, red velvet box in his palm.
The disordered heartbeat seemed to be nailed to the spot by the small box, and then suddenly released.
The scalding heat rushed to the top of the head with blood, bringing waves of dizziness.
The surging, swelling emotions almost burst his chest, but his throat seemed to be choked by something and he couldn't make any sound.
Many years ago, they gave each other gifts in the name of family, hoping to use it as a connection between them, but the feelings at that time may not have been pure. The love that hid was childish and reckless and deceptive, and inside was an insecure, fearful, and distorted soul.
When the gift was later returned, they thought they would never receive Chen Luan's love again.
But now, the box is open before my eyes.
The red and blue gemstones matched the ones dangling from their earlobes.
Is it a dream?
"What's wrong? Don't tell me you can't."
Chen Luan's lazy, teasing tone sounded again, but it became distant and unreal amid the deafening sound of his heartbeat: "Don't you want it anymore? Forget it."
"want."
Before Chen Luan made a move to withdraw his hand, his wrist was grabbed by two hands at the same time.
Not a dream.
It's true.
Because the temperature and touch between the fingers at this moment are so real.
It was so real that all the anxieties, torments, and fears of being completely abandoned by Chen Luan found an outlet at this moment, burning towards the eye sockets with a sour and warm feeling, burning the chest, almost melting away the empty snowy night in the memory.
Jiang Xun's throat rolled with difficulty, and he looked into Chen Luan's eyes: "Is this your answer?"
Even his voice was extremely hoarse.
Chen Luan raised his eyebrows: "What's the answer?"
The hand holding Chen Luan's wrist tightened even more, almost trying to pull him over.
"You know what I'm asking."
However, Chen Luan was looking at him leisurely with his eyes bent, and asked maliciously, knowing the answer:
"What answer do you want, Jiang Xun?"
The next second, the hand holding his wrist suddenly pulled him over, and a hot hand covered the back of Chen Luan's neck, pressing him towards the warm breath.
But just before they were about to touch, Chen Luan raised his elbow to his throat and pushed him away.
The pair of beautiful grey eyes, so close to him, half-closed their gazes at him, and her lips curled up in her usual lazy smile: "Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? In public."
"I'm new here and I'm not familiar with the place. Should I go find a medical clinic and ask for some disinfectant? I don't want to get an ear infection from getting my ears pierced."
Rejected, Jiang Xun pursed his lips, looking like a wronged stuffed animal, but he nodded in the end: "Okay."
The hospital at the command center was not difficult to find. Chen Luan asked for disinfectant and anti-inflammatory ointment and found an empty treatment room.
"Who's going first?"
"Me first."
"I'll go first—"
Two voices rang out at the same time, and two pairs of identical eyes looked at each other.
The two pheromones in the air began to collide and tear each other apart, neither giving in.
Until Chen Luan went over with the box and closed the door, looking at the two cats threatening each other with their fur standing on end, he folded his arms and leaned against the table: "Alright, stop arguing."
"Let's go together."
There was silence in the air for a moment, and the two alphas narrowed their eyes and looked at each other.
"OK."
"Can."
A red and a blue earring were picked up on the left and right, and two equally warm auras enveloped Chen Luan.
Chen Luan cooperated by slightly tilting his head, revealing his earlobe.
As the distance instantly shortened, they could clearly see the tiny hairs on Chen Luan's beautifully shaped earlobes, and smell the clean and warm scent that belonged only to Chen Luan, mixed with the slight scent of leather from the cabin of a brand new mecha.
As the sound of heartbeat gradually spread and the world became silent, all my attention was focused on the warmth and softness that was pinched between my fingertips.
"It will hurt a little."
"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up! I have a real machine test to do later."
The puncture process is quick, with only a slight, almost negligible sting.
With a light "click" sound, the clasps of the two earrings gently closed.
Chen Luan raised his hand and gently touched his slightly red earlobe. He looked up at the two large animals that were silently looking at him with slightly red eye circles. Finally, he curved his eyes and chuckled softly:
"Well, I have now received the blessings you shared with me."
Then he tilted his head to look at the other earrings worn by Jiang Xun and Jiang Ling, one on each side: "Hmm - parent-child earrings?"
Before he could finish his words, a pair of arms wrapped around his waist and pulled Chen Luan into his arms.
Warm hands cupped the back of his neck, and her slightly parted lips leaned forward to accurately detect Chen Luan's breath: "We are not biological children."
The wind blew in from outside the slightly swaying curtains.
Chen Luan was overwhelmed by the endless kisses and had to start to retreat, but he fell into another embrace.
The other twin grabbed Chen Luan's chin, lifted it up, and drove away the pheromones that didn't belong to him. He said, "You moved the household registration out yourself. How can you say we're related here?"
When the door of the treatment room was reopened, the chaotic pheromones in the air were so thick that they were almost impossible to dissipate.
Chen Luan sorted out his messy clothes, pursed his swollen lips, and kicked each of the two men:
"I have to go back first. I have to do peripheral testing tomorrow and complete all debugging today."
"Shall we have dinner together tomorrow? I know which window in the cafeteria has food that suits your taste."
"good."
"Give me another kiss."
“…Alright, get out of here.”
The summer evening breeze was not cool at this time. Chen Luan walked out a few steps and looked back.
My earlobes were still slightly warm, and the two familiar figures were still standing there.
It seemed as if all these years, as long as he looked back, they would have been waiting there forever, waiting for Chen Luan to distinguish clearly whether it was family affection or love.
Let’s have dinner together tomorrow?
Well, that's a good idea.
Not only tomorrow,
I also hope for every day in the future.

A large number of troops have arrived at the camp to prepare for battle, and the cleanup operation against the No. 0 contaminated area is also being prepared in full swing.
As advance preparations such as logistics supply lines, medical and rescue equipment were gradually put in place, the terrain ecological reconnaissance team also sent back terrain models inside the contaminated area and uploaded them to the information database of each mecha unit.
June 29th.
The clearing operation officially began. Teams from various states and military regions were like sparks, tearing through the dust and fog in the polluted area with an unstoppable momentum, burning all the way towards the core ecology of the center.
Three S-class mechas, from the Hunter, the Fleet, and the special Beta team, stared at each other across the morning mist at dawn, and then used the same fighting posture, flying through the air like birds, and then locked onto the target below, swung their blades casually, and killed their way in.
Different models, but using instantly recognizable combat habits from the same person, their trailing flames resembled three parallel meteors under the gray-purple sky, flashing and leaping through the ruins covered in desolate vegetation, causing dust and fog to retreat wherever they passed. As the flashes of swords and the sounds of gunfire rang out, the roars of the desolate beasts were accompanied by stained blood splattering everywhere.
Hover,
Falling,
Kill
Leaping up again,
Until the next target is cleared,
Then it flew towards another new gathering place of desolate beasts.
At that time, Chen Luan once again single-handedly opened up a deserted beast's nest, and after shaking off the blood on his long sword, he looked back at the dark purple sky.
The little weight on her earlobe gleamed in the dim light from the console.
He is not with them now,
But we are together all the time.
at the same time,
Thousands of figures and young souls like Chen Luan and his companions are burning everything they have and rushing forward desperately.
Ahead is a hideous and dark abyss of death, and behind is a home with bright lights. Groups of desolate beasts suddenly rise from the twisted vegetation, and are crushed by the millions of unyielding souls burning over.
Someone fell down,
Someone dragged the damaged body and struggled to stand up.
The cabin of an aircraft with people is invaded by high concentrations of polluted dust.
Someone still swung their sword forward at the last second, engulfed by the polluted crystal dust...
Blood and fire flew across this long-silent, alienated land. The polluted ecology that had been entrenched here for far too long let out a painful roar for the first time. On the trembling earth, countless desolate beasts were driven madly out of their nests, rushing towards the burning torrent that was rolling over like a broken dam.
But can they stop it?
They can't stop it.
"Reporting to the command center, this is the Blade Falcon team, the clearance of area C2 is complete!"
"Reporting to the command center, this is the Fengying team, the clearance of area B6 is complete!"
“…”
"Report to the command center, the A4 area has been cleared!"
"Clearance of Area D1 Completed!"
"G6 area cleared!"
“…”
Short messages were sent back to the command base, along with countless pairs of eyes that were red with tears and then wiped dry because of the loss of their companions who had fought side by side all the way.
Victories continue, and so do sacrifices.
But no one backed down.
The only thing on everyone’s mind is to move forward, forward, and forward again.
The polluted ecology on the periphery, which was violently torn into pieces, quickly collapsed. In the deeper part, which was covered by polluted crystal dust and spores that had almost solidified into substance, even the ecological core whose terrain had been alienated, and the vascular polluted fungal carpet that was pulsating slowly like a pulse covered the deep part of the nest that looked like a small hill. A strange creature with a huge abdominal sac that was several times larger than its body seemed to be disturbed and moved its bulky body in its slumber.
October, Cold Dew.
The perimeter clearing operation that lasted for three months is finally coming to an end after paying a huge price.
And that special beta unit has achieved remarkable results.
The modified advanced mechas adapted to the beta physique are slightly inferior to the standard advanced mechas in all aspects, but even so, the beta troops still achieved a record that is not inferior to that of the alpha troops.
The most prominent one is the mecha numbered NS01. Because the mecha is painted gray, it is even privately called the "Gray Reaper".
Chen Luan felt a little helpless about the title of "Chuunibyou", but the base was not connected to the outside world and there were not many entertainment activities, so he could only let them do what they wanted.
On the 23rd, Frost Descent begins.
The second phase of the clearing operation - the vanguard troops encircling the ecological core area are preparing to enter the target area to survey the beast nest situation in advance for the subsequent general offensive.
But unlike the periphery, the magnetic field in the ecological core area is disordered and the pollution index is extremely high, so they will lose contact with the command center.
While the other members of the vanguard were writing their suicide notes, Chen Luan, Jiang Xun and Jiang Ling were sitting on the edge of the rooftop, gazing into the distance.
The area covered by the polluted dust fog so thick that it looked purple was the ecological core of Polluted Zone No. 0, the place where the wild beasts first landed.
Jiang Ling sat on the steps with his arms outstretched and leaning against his sides like a lord, smiling with his lips raised: "Do we still need to write a suicide note?"
Jiang Xun glanced at him and said, "It's all here. Who are you writing it for?"
Chen Luan bit into a piece of candy and kicked each of the two men on the leg. He almost laughed out of anger: "Get lost. Can you say something nice?"
It's best not to ever need a suicide note.
It’s best not to.
On the 24th, the vanguard troops set out in several directions, hoping to find the most suitable route for the main force.
Jiang Ling, who was mixed in from the Hunters, looked at the fleet team beside him. The familiar figure made him pause and his light golden eyes narrowed slightly.
"Qin Yang?"
The latter turned around and was also stunned.
After a moment's silence, he finally reached out his hand towards Jiang Ling: "...Long time no see?"
