Chapter 54 Chapter 54 I Like You
The next morning, after a night of rest, everyone at the military academy boarded the plane back to school.
The rescue team called Blade Falcon sent by the fleet had nine people when they arrived and seven people when they returned.
The two members who were in charge of covering the rear and were seriously injured last night could not be rescued.
At the time of departure, the cadets of the military academy burst into tears. Liang Yingying, the captain of the Blade Falcon Squad, hugged Huo Lin with red eyes and said, "I'm leaving, Captain."
"Well, go ahead."
Huo Lin nodded, raised his hand and punched Liang Yingying on the shoulder, then smiled with his eyes curved: "The youngest girl in the team back then is now the team leader."
"I don't know when we'll meet next time. Don't you want to say something to me?" Liang Yingying put her hand on the cabin door and looked back. Her short hair that reached her ears was blown by the wind over her heroic eyebrows.
Huo Lin, standing on the other side, thought for a moment and waved his hand: "Retire alive."
The latter's eyes curved upwards into crescents, and he nodded, "Okay."
The plane took off smoothly, and the cabin was filled with heavy and long breathing sounds. Both the instructors who had been waiting in the lounge for three days and the trainees who had just survived a disaster fell into a deep sleep after relaxing.
Huo Lin squatted in the water room and finally finished making a round of phone calls and completing his report. By the way, he cursed those nagging old guys a hundred times in his heart.
Chen Luan sat across from Huo Lin, peeling a green tangerine he had brought from the K9091 command center. "So what's going on in there? Why did you suddenly lose contact?"
The latter was silent for a moment, his expression growing serious. "We've observed signs of recovery in the core ecosystem of this polluted area. This has never happened before."
"Three years ago, the fleet cleared this area, reducing the danger level from medium-high to low. That core ecosystem was once a small interstellar beast nest, which was already destroyed once."
"Theoretically, we just need to wait a few more years, during which time we can regularly clean up the newly emerged, increasingly weaker species that have lost their core. The polluted ecosystem will gradually shrink and die out naturally, and this land can be released."
"But as we were approaching the original core ecological zone, we discovered we had lost contact with the outside world. This only happens in high-risk areas where the core ecology is very active."
"I immediately wanted to return with the students."
The orange in Chen Luan's hand had just been peeled.
Huo Lin broke off half an orange from Chen Luan's hand, ate a slice, and felt like he had been hit by an orange. So he stuffed the sour and astringent orange half back into Chen Luan's hand and shrugged.
"Then I was chased for two days by a group of wild beasts that were clearly stronger than normal."
"When we were almost unable to run, we ran into the Blade Falcon Squad."
"If they hadn't arrived in time, we would have been in trouble this time."
The most dangerous part was glossed over by Huo Lin with just two seemingly casual sentences.
Chen Luan understood, but didn't ask any more questions.
In short, No. k9091 will not be removed from the high-risk list for the time being.
The military will then send someone to escort a team of scientific researchers in to study what exactly happened here.
These have nothing to do with Chen Luan and the others for the time being.
By noon, the outline of Qiwei City could be seen in the distance.
Huo Lin, who was extremely tired, also fell asleep.
Chen Luan stood outside the water room, holding a cup of warm water in his hand, staring absentmindedly at the steel forest outside the porthole, which was being pressed closer and closer under layers of clouds.
The Blade Falcon team lost two members, and once again tore the war, which was far from over, bloodily open in front of Chen Luan.
He was too familiar with Liang Yingying's eyes.
Because it was the same with Yunci in the beginning, team members were reduced one after another, and then replaced one after another, and the cycle continued.
Even the sadness began to become numb with each farewell.
That's why Huo Lin left the words "retire alive."
So far, the average age of the Pioneer Fleet members is only 33 years old.
There were footsteps coming from the corridor.
Chen Luan looked up.
It’s Qin Yang.
The moment their eyes met, the latter lowered his dark eyes: "Assistant Chen."
Chen Luan put down the glass of water, folded his arms, and leaned against the cabin wall. He raised his eyes and glared coldly at Qin Yang in front of him: "What? You have the courage to confess, but you don't have the courage to look at me?"
God knows how shocked Chen Luan was yesterday afternoon when this kid suddenly grabbed him and said, "Assistant Chen, I like you" in his face after bandaging Qin Yang.
At that moment, Chen Luan even thought that his wound was infected and inflamed, causing him to have a high fever and was talking nonsense.
He confirmed it several times with his dear student.
Maybe it's just the students' admiration for the teacher or something else, but it's not that kind of liking.
After all, the group of idiots in the class who feel uncomfortable if they don’t go crazy for a day often shout out nonsense like “Old Chen, I love you so much” and “I love you the most, Brother Luan” in the group.
But it's a pity.
Yes.
This is the kind of love that Chen Luan least wants to hear.
At that moment, Chen Luan felt as if his ability to think was trampled to pieces by ten million elephants. It took him a long time to find his voice again.
He heard himself utter a few dry words stiffly:
"Don't like it."
So the person who was stunned became Qin Yang again.
Finally recovering from his shock, Chen Luan pulled his wrist out of the other person's hand and said, "Qin Yang, I'm not interested in men, and I certainly don't have that kind of feelings for students."
In Chen Luan's eyes, these students in the Mecha Department were no different from the kids he had taught at the base.
He would care for them, worry when they entered contaminated areas, do his best to teach them everything he knew, and hope that they would be safe wherever they went after leaving school.
But love will not and cannot arise.
After hearing this, Qin Yang did not show any expression of loss on his face.
He admitted that he was a coward.
Without that momentary impulse, he might never find the courage to say those words again.
So he said it.
The result was just as he expected, there was nothing to be disappointed about.
So he just looked into Chen Luan's eyes seriously: "It's okay, I just want to tell you this."
I’m just afraid that I won’t have the chance to talk about it in the future.
Chen Luan was silent for a long time at that time.
Is this correct?
What's going on in this world?
Are there any normal people among those who have one or two of these?
At this moment, Chen Luan faced the alpha who was standing like a wall in the narrow corridor. He looked at him with half-closed eyes: "Get out of the way. Don't block my way. I want to get out."
Qin Yang didn't move.
The scent of ebony and agarwood floated in the air.
"Assistant Chen, I didn't have a fever yesterday, and I didn't talk nonsense."
Alpha looked into Chen Luan's eyes: "I like you, really."
"oh."
Chen Luan drank his water numbly, his grey eyes filled with a resigned calmness: "Got it."
After saying that, she pushed his shoulder away and walked past him. She took two steps, thought for a moment, and then turned back: "Qin Yang, I think you might still be too idle."
"How about this, when your leg is healed, go for more training."
My mind is not clear, and after a few rounds of practice I have no time to think about other things.
When people reach their limit, there is usually only one thought in their mind, which is why I am not dead yet.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the tall, black-haired alpha nodded and looked at him eagerly: "Okay. Then what you said before, that I can come to you for confrontation training, does it still count?"
“…”
Chen Luan looked at Qin Yang's calm eyes.
After a while, he suddenly raised the corner of his lips, revealing his slightly sharp fangs: "Okay."
If I beat him until he cries, he probably won’t like me anymore, right?
It was already past noon when I returned to school. The rainy weather that had lasted for several days had finally cleared up.
Chen Luan returned to the office to charge his phone, which had run out of battery and turned off a long time ago. As soon as he turned it on, he was stunned by a string of red missed calls.
There are those from Jiang Xun and those from Jiang Ling.
There were a few aggrieved Qiao Zhile people scattered among them.
Chen Luan, who realized it belatedly, finally slapped his head.
Oh no, I forgot to tell my brothers before I went out.
I've been out of touch for three or four days, I guess I must be going crazy...
Should I rest in the dormitory at this time?
Chen Luan thought about it and called Jiang Xun back.
——Why didn’t you reply to Jiang Ling? Because that kid has a bad temper and Chen Luan feels that Jiang Xun would be easier to talk to.
The phone rang only once and then was connected.
Chen Luan tapped the corner of the table with a guilty look on his face: "...Jiang Xun."
Jiang Xun's calm and quiet voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother."
From his tone, it seemed like nothing serious happened, and I didn't even ask him why he had been out of contact for three days.
Chen Luan breathed a sigh of relief. "Ahem, my...my phone is out of battery. I have an urgent mission, and there's no signal over there."
The other party listened quietly, his voice still steady: "Yes. I understand."
Well, it should be alright.
Bar?
Chen Luan unconsciously plucked the thin thorns of the cactus on the table one by one, as if he wanted to pluck the poor cactus bare. "...Where's Jiang Ling? Where are you guys now? Do you want to have dinner together tonight?"
"We're at home."
The tip of his finger was accidentally pricked by a cactus thorn. Chen Luan let out a soft “hiss” and shook his hand: “Huh?”
Why are you at home?
"Yeah. I'm not feeling well, so I'm taking a leave."
Chen Luan's brows immediately furrowed. "What's wrong? Are you sick? I'm going home now."
"No, I'm not sick."
Chen Luan then noticed that Jiang Xun's voice was a little hoarse. "It's just because we're in the susceptible period. You know, brother, ordinary inhibitors have limited effect on us."
"Then I—"
Chen Luan was about to say that he could go back now.
In the past, whenever they were susceptible to infection, his two younger brothers would rely heavily on him.
But he was interrupted by Jiang Xun.
"It's okay, brother. If you have something else to do, you can come back later."
Chen Luan blinked slightly.
An almost imperceptible feeling of emptiness rubbed against the tip of my heart like a cat's tail.
"Teacher Chen."
There was a knock on the door. "The teaching department is calling all the mecha department head coaches for a meeting."
"Yeah, I understand."
Chen Luan nodded and put the phone back to his ear: "I have a meeting this afternoon. Do you want something to eat tonight? I'll bring it back to you after get off work."
"I'm not feeling well and don't want to eat for the time being."
"...Okay, then you guys just wait for me to come home."
Time goes back two hours.
As soon as I got home from the fake twins, I got a recording that was separated from the noisy background sound of the video through technical means.
“Is eye drops useful?”
“It’s very useful.”
“…”
"Assistant Chen, I like you."
The two pheromones in the air, which were already unstable during their susceptible period, suddenly boiled over, almost burning the air to ashes.
Jiang Ling opened the address book:
【：What about the back? 】
[Xiao Jiujiu: That's it. The video ends here. I can't create it for you out of thin air.]
【：I understand. Go ahead and get busy. 】
[Little Jiujiu: Don't let the old man know that I used military supplies to do this for you, or I'll die. Do you understand?]
【：11111】
The room fell silent.
Only that recording kept looping: "Assistant Chen, I like you."
After a moment, Jiang Xun raised his hand to turn off the recording.
He looked into his twin brother's eyes, which were exactly like his own: "Jiang Ling, I think we need to talk."
No one knows what they talked about during that half hour.
In short, when the two people came out of the house, it seemed that they had finally reached some kind of ceasefire agreement, and both sides could only be considered to have agreed reluctantly.
Just as it was getting dark, Jiang Xun's cell phone made a slight buzzing sound.
"He's back."
