Chapter 26
Lin Han's expression did not change, but his eyebrows slightly raised, and his tone sounded a little surprised.
Although Wen Tianyao's first sentence made him feel a little complicated, the second sentence was the key point now.
He was not actually surprised that Wen Tianyao had other thoughts in his mind, but he just didn't know what it meant to start with himself.
Lin Han looked embarrassed: "But..."
Wen Tianyao seemed to interpret his embarrassment as restraint and embarrassment, and took the initiative to say: "Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to, I won't force you."
This tactic is usually called retreat in order to advance. After all, given his identity and status, if he takes the initiative to offer concessions under normal circumstances, the other party will generally feel apologetic because of his understanding and will agree to the offer again.
But the premise of all this is that Lin Han’s hand is not on his.
There was a sticky feeling in the palm of His Royal Highness the Prince, which made Lin Han feel a little uncomfortable.
After listening to the other party's self-righteous speech, Lin Han smiled faintly, pulled his hand away, and spoke again with a hint of gratitude in his voice: "Thank you, Your Highness. I will go alone."
Wen Tianyao's expression changed obviously, as if he didn't expect the development of the matter to be different from what he imagined. However, he still maintained his composure and could only go along with it: "Okay."
Lin Han nodded to Wen Tianyao, turned around and was about to leave.
In fact, he was not worried about what Wen Tianyao would do to him at this moment. Maybe he just wanted to use him as a chess piece. Now Wen Tianyao is alone, and in He Yunting's territory. If he still remembers his identity, he will not act rashly.
"Mr. Lin." Wen Tianyao spoke again when Lin Han was about to leave. "However, when I was studying at the Imperial Army University in my early years, I also learned a little about this. I am a little curious and would like to ask Mr. Lin for advice. I will never disturb your work."
Lin Han stopped smiling, not wanting to put any unnecessary expression on his face: "Okay."
-
Lin Han had been to the mecha warehouse a few days ago. This time he opened the door with ease and did not greet Wen Tianyao specifically. He just went about his own business.
"When did Mr. Lin come to the base?" Wen Tianyao, who seemed to be very interested in the mecha and Lin Han, asked while Lin Han was resting.
"I've only been here for a few days." Lin Han said, "I'm not very familiar with him yet."
Wen Tianyao brought up a few random topics, and Lin Han's answers were all very casual, and it seemed a bit perfunctory.
But Wen Tianyao didn't seem to care.
Lin Han continued to busy himself with his own work. After all, this was a mecha for new recruits, and many of its functions were a bit outdated. However, it could still be used after slightly modifying the internal programs and parameters.
After a while, Lin Han came to a tall mecha.
The tenth generation qt, one of the heroes in the battle with the Zerg.
Starting from this generation, the research institute began to try to establish a connection between the mecha center and the pilot's own mental power, which can greatly improve combat performance and reduce consumption.
This mecha looks like it hasn't been used for a long time. There must be something wrong with it. The pilot himself didn't send it in for inspection for some reason. The mecha system is being updated very quickly, so it is probably shelved.
After all, this was a mecha that he had participated in researching and designing, so Lin Han was very familiar with it. After getting into the cockpit and tinkering with it, he successfully started the mecha.
"Tenth generation QT, number M2764, ignition completed, fuselage started, AI center turned on, cockpit ready, please give instructions."
Lin Han was just about to start the self-test, but as soon as his hand touched the screen, Wen Tianyao's voice suddenly came from beside him.
"Is this the mecha that annihilated many Zergs back then?"
Lin Han had originally asked him to come in because he wanted to know what he was planning for himself and He Yunting, but he couldn't help but frown at being interrupted at work. He didn't understand why Wen Tianyao was trying to find something to say: "Yeah."
Wen Tianyao also entered the cockpit and saw the movements of Lin Han's hands. He said, "I heard that this was designed by Mr. Lin at the time. It's really amazing."
If a normal person were praised like this by the prince of the empire, he would probably be overjoyed. Lin Han stopped inspecting it but did not respond.
He always felt that Wen Tianyao was going to say something else.
As expected, Wen Tianyao said: "It's a pity that I couldn't join the general in the expedition back then. Seeing it now, I'm still a little excited."
The topic finally turned to He Yunting.
Lin Han pretended to be interested: "Your Highness the Prince also drives a mecha?"
"I have learned it, and I know a little bit." Wen Tianyao didn't seem to want to talk about this, "I just thought about the battle back then."
"My father and the old men in the parliament didn't allow me to go, so I could only wait for the good news - to be honest, that has always been a regret in my heart."
Lin Han said "hmm".
"Speaking of this," Wen Tianyao's tone suddenly became strange, "There is another reason why General He won the battle back then. Does Mr. Lin know about it?"
-
It was lunch time when Lin Han and Wen Tianyao came out of the mecha hangar together.
This time, Wen Tianyao did not choose to walk to a place with few people, so many soldiers saw him and immediately saluted nervously. Wen Tianyao responded with a smile one by one, and successfully received many flattered looks.
He is just like his image, humble and approachable.
Lin Han walked behind him.
Wen Tianyao said that he was going to the command room to find He Yunting, and politely suggested that Lin Han go with him.
In the mecha hangar, Wen Tianyao spoke a lot to Lin Han in a tone of reminiscing about the past.
He said that He Yunting was brave and good at fighting, brave and resourceful, but the topics he talked about were all irrelevant, and it seemed that he really just came to get closer to Lin Han and chat casually.
Everyone said that Wen Tianyao and He Yunting belonged to the neutral faction. They were neither as lukewarm as the peace faction in wanting to establish diplomatic relations with the Zerg, nor as radical as the radical faction who thought about how to resolve the issue by force all day long.
Wen Tianyao did not mention the name of any faction, but just kept praising He Yunting, saying that one of the reasons for winning the battle was that He Yunting intercepted some of the opponent's intelligence in advance and thus caught them all in one fell swoop.
But Wen Tianyao did not mention what the information itself was or where it came from.
If Lin Han didn't have the ability to read minds, then today's chat would seem like just an approachable prince chatting about his glorious past with the empire's outstanding mecha masters.
Unfortunately, when Lin Han asked Wen Tianyao to pass him tools, he heard another person's name.
Luo Qi, that is, the most active radical in parliament.
After all, Lin Han couldn't stay too long, but he could barely understand a thing or two from Wen Tianyao's words.
But the strange thing is that what Lin Han originally wanted to know was why someone would assassinate He Yunting at the dinner party, but this did not appear in Wen Tianyao's thoughts.
Could it be that this matter really has nothing to do with him?
But what is certain is that Wen Tianyao is not a neutral person.
Like Luo Qi, he is a radical through and through.
He wanted to win me over first, and then start with me, so that He Yunting would eventually become a part of them.
As for why in order to win over He Yunting, he had to approach him in a roundabout way... Lin Han pursed his lips. It turned out that in the eyes of others, he and He Yunting... did have an unusual relationship.
-
Lin Han followed Wen Tianyao into the command room. Lu Anhe was having a meal, and the admiral, who had an unusual relationship with the prince in his eyes, was flipping through the list of promoted personnel in his hand.
Seeing Wen Tianyao coming, both of them stood up and saluted, while He Yunting turned his gaze to Lin Han behind Wen Tianyao.
Lin Han took the initiative to explain: "I met His Royal Highness the Prince on the way to the mecha hangar."
"Yes, I just chatted with Mr. Lin for a while," Wen Tianyao naturally took over the conversation and said to He Yunting, "Is the Admiral minded if I took up some of Mr. Lin's time?"
He Yunting didn't answer, but his deep eyes never left Lin Han.
Fortunately, Lu Anhe was good at talking. He chatted with Wen Tianyao briefly and changed the subject.
Wen Tianyao didn't dwell on this topic: "But I just want to take a look at this year's pilot selection. I also want to know if there are any outstanding newcomers this year."
He Yunting raised his eyebrows after hearing this and said nothing else. After all, Wen Tianyao would come every year at this time.
He handed the list in his hand to Wen Tianyao, and Lu Anhe added: "Today is the fourth day of the second round. The main purpose of selecting the various balance abilities and basic control abilities of the reserve technicians..."
Wen Tianyao looked at the list, then looked at the screen behind He Yunting and nodded.
"But it's lunch time now. If Your Highness wants to review, you can do it an hour later. There is a rest room next door. Would you like to take a rest first?" Lu Anhe suggested, "I'll ask the office staff to bring you lunch."
Wen Tianyao said "OK", and walked around Lu Anhe to Lin Han: "Then I'll come back later. But I had a great time chatting with Mr. Lin today."
Lin Han smiled politely: "Me too."
His tone sounded sincere, as if he had heard everything Wen Tianyao had said before and believed that he was an excellent prince with a neutral stance.
Lin Han said: "But I have other things to do this afternoon. I'm afraid I can't continue chatting with you."
Wen Tianyao was in a good mood. When he walked to the door, he did not forget to say goodbye to Lin Han: "It's okay, Mr. Lin, work is more important. We can talk about it later."
Lin Han nodded and took the initiative to extend his hand: "Okay."
In order to maintain his image, Wen Tianyao naturally would not offend Lin Han and shook hands with him.
[Beautiful omegas are so easy to deceive.] 】
-
Wen Tianyao went to rest first, and Lu Anhe had other things to deal with. For a while, Lin Han and He Yunting were the only ones left in the command room.
Lin Han hesitated about how to convey the information he knew to He Yunting.
After all, he knew too little, too little to integrate into a complete conclusion.
If he suddenly said that Wen Tianyao was a radical, He Yunting might not believe it without any context.
Lin Han hesitated for a moment, but decided to wait until he knew more before finding a compromise way to tell the other party.
Seeing that He Yunting was still working and it was inconvenient to disturb him, and that he had not eaten lunch and had not used the nutritional supplements yet, he decided to say goodbye to He Yunting and go back first.
"Then I'll go back to my room too, General." Lin Han said politely.
However, Wen Tianyao always made him feel uncomfortable, so Lin Han took a piece of paper and wiped his hands.
He Yunting responded after a while: "Yeah."
Lin Han inexplicably felt that He Yunting seemed to be in a bad mood at the moment, so he tried to ask, "What's wrong?"
"fine."
Lin Han didn't expect He Yunting to say anything, nor was he angry: "Okay, then I'll leave first."
"Wait." When Lin Han was almost at the door, He Yunting seemed to hesitate for a while, but finally spoke.
"?"
He Yunting had a cold expression, but Lin Han could hear a hint of grievance in his voice: "Doesn't Mr. Lin have mysophobia?"
Lin Han was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to answer yes or no.
He couldn't tell He Yunting the truth about the real purpose of his initiative to shake hands with Wen Tianyao.
"Forget it, it's okay." He Yunting said again, as if he didn't want to know the answer.
He Yunting also walked to the door and extended his hand to Lin Han: "Goodbye, Mr. Lin."
Lin Han looked at He Yunting's actions, a little dazed.
He Yunting's actions can be described as abrupt and stiff.
Lin Han thought, the last time they said goodbye, they didn’t even shake hands.
His facial features were delicate, his white uniform made his black hair look soft and fine, and his eyes were moist and pure black. When he looked at He Yunting with such a surprised expression, his eyes widened slightly, appearing soft and innocent.
He was like a clean, white piece of drawing paper, and He Yunting was like dots of ink, being carefully painted on by the other party stroke by stroke.
He Yunting was reluctant to look away, and his hands were suspended in the air, as if he didn't feel embarrassed.
It took Lin Han two seconds to understand what He Yunting meant.
He wanted to shake his hand and say goodbye.
Lin Han is not wearing gloves now.
After all, he had just convinced himself not to take the initiative to understand what He Yunting was thinking, and he should not pry into his heart again and again.
But now that He Yunting had extended his hand to her, Lin Han felt that she couldn't just ignore him.
What would happen to He Yunting if I rejected him? Will he show a disappointed expression?
But He Yunting is a person who can't smile, and his facial expressions are not very rich.
In this case, you can't tell whether you are happy or sad.
Seeing him hesitate, He Yunting seemed to be reminding Lin Han, or trying to save face. He tightened his lips and repeated, "Goodbye, Mr. Lin."
This sentence was like a watershed. If Lin Han didn't want to, he could just say "goodbye" and leave. If Lin Han understood what He Yunting meant...
Thinking of this, Lin Han suddenly felt that the person in front of him was somewhat cute.
The corners of his mouth are always straight and his face is always cold - he never says what he means and never says what he wants.
Lin Han blinked, and suddenly a soft warmth surged in his heart.
Even though he tried not to make the corners of his lips curve too obviously, the smile still made the corners of his eyes curve down.
——It was He Yunting who extended his hand first, I didn’t insist on reading his mind.
He said this to himself as well.
"Okay, goodbye, General."
Lin Han thought to himself and put his hand on it.
[Is it because the calluses on my hands are too rough for him? 】
Why does he always shake other people's hands? 】
