Chapter 51 Chapter 51 After entering, Philus was not as
anxious as before. Tang En's room was the same as his, and her hat was on the table.
Tang En closed the door and said, "Let's talk."
Now should be the time to rest in his room. After the starship takes off into space and the robot delivers their luggage to settle down, it will be a good time for the team to gather.
Philus stood against the wall. The cold wall behind him gave him some confidence and calmness. He took a deep breath.
"Senior sister, I went to see Ms. Bart yesterday."
Tang En said "um", his eyelashes drooped, as if he was thinking about something, and turned around to sit on his bed.
——It was probably beyond her expectations, but it was also reasonable.
Felix observed Don's expression, but couldn't tell.
Don pointed at the chair with his chin and said, "Sit down."
Felix sat down but didn't feel at ease. "Ms. Bart asked me to report your news to Rose's Mayfair every week. Mayfair said that the content of the report is what you said and what you did."
Don had already propped up his chin with his right hand, feeling bored by what he said.
"Compared to this, I want to know more about the details of your conversation, such as how Bart persuaded you." Don saw that Felix was not confident. Felix should at least think that Bart's words made some sense, so he said this. "How did you think of telling me this?"
Don called Bart by her last name directly, and it sounded that their relationship was not good.
"I..." Felix stammered, "I thought about the day you asked me."
That day refers to the day when he was in heat. He was really embarrassed, but forced himself to explain the matter clearly, "That day, you asked me if Bart sent me here. I didn't know that the leader of the Bush of Thorns was Ms. Bart at the time. It was not until I met her yesterday and learned her last name was Bart that I suddenly remembered it, so I thought I should tell you about it."
Felix was immersed in shame and didn't notice that Tang En's eyes wandered for a moment.
"You have a good memory," Tang En tilted his head slightly, "Repeat to me the whole process of your meeting yesterday. Don't make any mistakes in your conversation. I want to listen to everything."
Felix looked at her and opened his mouth.
- Shouldn't Tang En be angry now and question him?
In Felix's expectation, anyone who knew about this would be furious, but Tang En's blue eyes were always calm, without any ripples in them.
These eyes may be inherited from Bart. They have the same color and similar shrewd and sharp shape, but looking at them, one can immediately realize that their owners are absolutely different people.
Felix quickly sorted out the process in his mind.
"Yesterday afternoon, I received a message from Mayfairson and went to Rose Company. According to the words of the front desk, I went directly to Mayfairson's office on the eighth floor, and I met Ms. Bart as soon as I entered."
"She said I was excellent and it was very rational to choose the First Military Academy."
Tang En moved his body and changed to a comfortable posture.
"Do you understand what she means?"
Feilus was highly nervous.
"The first requirement for admission to a military academy is mental strength and physical fitness. Very few people can meet the requirements. The second requirement is cultural knowledge. The total score must reach A level. In addition, the school will also set a gender threshold. The first military academy recruits... more Betas, so it is safer for me to choose the first military academy."
Tang En said, "Almost. She is expressing her appreciation for you and letting you lower your guard. What did they say next?"
"Mayfair said I want to repay the organization for its training, and I said yes. Bart said he heard that I joined the inter-school competition team and should know you. He asked about my communication with you. I said you are our assistant coach and team captain. Everyone has a good impression of you because of your command ability and the instructors treat you well."
"Your answer is very good." Tang En nodded to affirm him.
It was difficult for Phyllis to describe the feeling now. It was not horrifying but chilling. However, he did not have to hide himself like he did in front of Ms. Bart and Mayfair. At the same time, a feeling of joy surged in his heart.
"Your answer perfectly meets what she wants. It sounds like you are not familiar with me but have a foundation for development, and at the same time you have not betrayed your identity as a member of the Bush of Thorns," Tang En said, "My good aunt should be satisfied. Next, I will tell you what to do."
"Uh," Philus was a little embarrassed, "Ms. Bart will continue later. She is your aunt."
"She said something about you, and that her children are very close to you, but because she is worried about you, she rarely lets you stay together."
Tang En sneered and raised his eyebrows, "She was afraid that I would kill Mu Wen too. I actually like that little brat."
- Even the last little Bart was not killed by her. It was purely because he was not smart.
"And then, she asked you to monitor me?"
Calus was alert for a second because of the word "like", but he realized the next second that this "Murvin Bart" should be very young, so young that he was not a threat at all.
He was on pins and needles because of the word "monitor" that Tang En said.
"Bart said that because she, as an elder, is worried about you, she asked me to tell her the news about you."
Tang En's eyes slowly moved back to Calus, as if a thousand pounds of weight was pressing on Calus' heart.
Calus felt that he had said the wrong thing.
"What are you worried about now?" Tang En asked.
"I think maybe it's not 'surveillance'?" Phyllus said with difficulty. As soon as he said it, he felt the absurdity in it.
Tang En curled the corners of his lips, but it was probably not a smile.
"I understand you, Philus. You want to comfort me and yourself with the words of family affection," she said without anger and in a calm tone. Her emotions were directed at his comfort. "Even Bart packaged this matter as family affection to alleviate your guilt and convince yourself that the matter is not that serious."
"But you still came to tell me, right? You still think it's wrong."
Tang En looked at him and warned: "Pyrus, don't waste your talent. Your intuition directly warned you, but you used emotion and reason to convince yourself to ignore the abnormality. That is wrong."
Philus held his breath and looked at her blankly.
He had a hard time understanding her words. Maybe he did understand, but his chest was obviously rising and falling. "Then what should I do!"
Tang En said happily, "We should face it head-on."
To her, the turbulent emotions of Phylum were like ripples on the surface of a lake.
"Analyze why it makes you uneasy, analyze why you are determined to tell me. Find out the reasons, find out the root of your contradiction, and then think of a way to solve it. Instead of using the words of family affection, since you can't convince yourself, how can you convince me."
Phylum was speechless, his face flushed.
Tang En felt that his emotions had calmed down, and analyzed it to him briefly.
"Bart first confirmed your position. Only if your position is not hers, she will use you. In fact, she also revealed to you that she and I are people with different positions.
"In order to convince you, she first gave an example to illustrate my unreliability. But I think you don't think so in your heart, so you feel weird.
"Then she deduced from this condition that you don't agree with from the bottom of your heart that you should report my news to her. But in fact, our positions are inconsistent."
"It seems natural, but in fact, it is full of loopholes." Tang En's hair, which was like deep-sea seaweed, was pulled by her. "You have the talent to understand these hidden meanings. Even if you can't clearly realize it, you can still make the best choice."
Tang En carefully dissected the thoughts of Phylus as if he was in the kitchen, treating the piece of meat under his knife.
Phylus suddenly felt a fear.
He remembered that night, Tang En also used this calm tone to expose him step by step.
Calm, not like a human.
- More like a machine without any emotional fluctuations, but his emotions were nowhere to hide in her sight.
Phylus's Adam's apple moved. He was nervous before, but not now.
Tang En glanced down at his body, "Are you shaking?"
The whole room shook suddenly, and the center of gravity of Phyllus' body was instantly unbalanced, and he fell off the chair in an instant. At the same time, a kind of dizziness and nausea surged into his heart. His body was clearly falling down, but he was also losing weight.
"Phyllus!"
Phyllus felt that he fell into a warm body, but his knees hit the floor, and unfortunately hit the most painful point. His body suddenly shrank, but out of habit, he didn't say a word.
After a while, Phyllus reacted. Tang En was holding his body in front of him, and he was now kneeling between Tang En's legs. Tang En held him tightly in his arms.
"I turned off the broadcast notification," Tang En let out a long sigh, "The starship is taking off."
There will be a huge vibration when the starship takes off, and the radio will usually notify passengers to get ready.
The initial takeoff tremor has passed, and now the body of the starship is rapidly rising in the atmosphere. Outside the small window of the room, clouds are brushing past intimately. Time seems to have ceased to exist. The white sky quickly turns dark, as if a day has passed at a rapid speed. You can't see the stars from the window, but you can see the twinkling lights on the distant ground. The lights are the stars belonging to humans on the ground.
When Philus came to his senses, he saw Tang En holding him and looking out the window.
Philus looked over, and now the light outside the window has changed from the darkness of the night to the empty black of space.
The colorful stars seemed to be breathing, pulsating in the empty blackness of space, as if they had life. Soon, the capital star they had just been staying on and its four satellites also became one of the shining stars, becoming the sea of stars that they were leaving behind at a high speed.
Tang En let him go.
"Are you still alone this time?" Tang En asked.
