Chapter 27
"Last time you said it was in a different time and space."
After watching the video, Marshal Ying Ying closed his eyes without any change in expression. Although the two people were sitting side by side, there was a short mechanical tabletop belonging to the gravity engine in the middle, and the sound was transmitted clearly.
But she had no intention of letting him go.
"What do you mean?"
Pei Shiyun turned his head.
The star belt where the East and West Domains jointly trained was a volatile area where neither domain was stable. It was chosen here to facilitate patrols and military affairs between the two domains.
Of course, according to the spokesperson, the two regions also take into consideration that they should be wary of each other and that there may be a possibility of hostility or even exchange of fire at any time, so no one has invaded anyone else's borders.
Of course, this is also true for Ying Ying and Pei Shiyun.
However, this state of non-interference was reversed in an instant after Marshal Pei "actively violated the rules" that night. Ying Ying didn't have time to pay attention to him because he still had a lot of things to do.
The reason she opened this video today was because it was during the prosecution period and she had a moment of free time to deal with it. What on earth made this colleague, who had always been cautious and restrained, lose her restraint?
But today the starry sky outside the inspection cabin is beautiful.
At that time, the news that "a colorful halo appeared at the border between the two domains, suspected to be a sign of reconciliation between the two domains" was debunked. In fact, this phenomenon was caused by the instability of the star domain, and the uneven wavelengths of light waves generated at the border interacted with each other, producing colorful pseudo-light" was making the rounds.
Another disagreement between the East and West in military strategy completely confirmed the fact that this colorful halo was not a harbinger of peace, but the beginning of turmoil.
This colorful light no longer attracts many people.
"It doesn't mean anything." Pei Shiyun looked at Ying Ying.
But it is too beautiful today. It covers the sky, gorgeous and splendid, like a beaded curtain made of pearls, gently swaying and colliding, trying to unveil the mysterious veil of the universe behind it.
Or maybe it's just a colorful light.
It was born not because the universe is magnificent, but simply because it was supposed to be born here.
The colorful halo refracted into the inspection cabin. The inspection department in charge of reception was very worried that they would cause another dispute between the two marshals, so even the orientation of the inspection cabin was neutral.
Excellent views on both sides.
Colored lights can also be seen on both sides.
Can see——
The door of the inspection cabin closed with a swish.
On the accompanying ship outside the inspection cabin, the guard waiting for Zuo Lin still stiffened suddenly, and then immediately turned around and looked away like an arrow from a bow.
At this moment, her fingers wrapped in combat gloves began to heat up and become damp.
She was shocked and doubted what she saw, but when she turned around, the two shadows were not covered by the colorful glow. Instead, they outlined similar figures more clearly, with overlapping eyebrows and hands holding hands.
This is a lean-in kiss position.
Zuo Lin, the adjutant of Marshal Ying Ying, felt dizzy. The colors seemed to float into her eyes, making her dare not look at the shadows that could not be covered at all, and only the shocking echo remained in her mind.
Marshal Pei is a little too bold.
Color light is a miracle at the border. It appears by chance and disappears by chance.
When Zuo Lin came out of his uncontrollable shock, he found that the colorful light had completely disappeared.
The vast sky is a piece of deep blue glass.
Far, far away, there are stardust and meteorites rippling like ocean waves.
The warriors who sacrificed their lives for the nobleness of the nebula were buried here. They sleep forever in the universe, unable to perceive the trajectory of time. Ying Ying sometimes thinks of Yu Can in his twenties.
She loves to laugh. When she sees a couple holding hands, she will hug her arms and lean against the pillar, saying "tsk tsk tsk" to them, then turn around and say to them:
"See? I spit on you because you will become like this in the future."
Is this a good look or is this a bad look?
Ying Ying didn't know. The person who could answer her was buried with Xingchen. She was worthy of the people who fought side by side with her, and worthy of the medal of the Nebula and the mission she had.
But she thought she might have felt guilty towards someone.
It has not been explained yet.
Pei Shiyun stepped back with trembling eyelashes.
The silence in the inspection room was terrifying, like the eternal vacuum of a long time ago when the universe had never been set foot in. In this vacuum, he felt as if he was suffocating.
Ying Ying's expression didn't change.
Even if Pei Shiyun leaned over without any warning, she did the same.
She just looked up: "Why do you say I just want to torture you?"
This voice seemed to be silent, blending in with the infinite silence without any sense of disobedience. Pei Shiyun immersed himself in this perfect silence, lowered his eyes and said slowly:
"You didn't give me such a mission."
Ying Ying slowly stood up, his movements as slow as his voice: "What?"
Pei Shiyun seemed to be controlled and unable to get close to her. She stood up and he slowly backed away.
The inspection cabin had never been so cramped, Pei Shiyun thought, and the intervals between inspections had never been so long.
"We didn't agree." He still turned away. Hoarsely. "I can do this."
We didn't agree on that.
Ying Ying understood the meaning of these words: "So, you stayed in the Western Regions because of me."
No answer.
Don't answer.
Pei Shiyun told himself.
Ying Ying had not worn the pair of white combat gloves when he came here, and now he overlapped the two of them and placed them on the nano-tin table top.
The soft fabric was pressed against the tabletop. The slight friction sound seemed to have drawn a thread in my heart.
Her voice was like thunder: "Whether it is or not——"
A grappling technique that comes without warning!
The video of "That Summer" once played the scene of them studying together, because they were already a team at that time, and the main attacker Ying Ying was always responsible for the more sharp grappling techniques.
Pei Shiyun took a step back and chose learning assistance.
It was impossible for him to be faster than her, also because they had practiced so closely so many times before, and because when they played together, Pei Shiyun assisted and he would always touch her fingers, so he had no instinct to defend himself.
He thought she had forgotten, and he had forgotten, but in fact, he had not.
When he was being restrained in a familiar way, the thought in his mind was: 0.01 seconds, her speed increased by 200% compared to the last time in the league.
She has always been——
My thoughts suddenly stopped.
The two figures overlapped again.
This time there was no shadow outside the inspection cabin.
Ying Ying's voice was near him: "But I know that you are now because of me."
It is said that there is an ancient creature on the Blue Water Planet. When the living environment is harsh and the female needs to reproduce, the male will remain motionless, crawling on the soft sand and allowing the female to eat him up.
Pei Shiyun felt like a captive of this ancient creature.
He felt something was wrong all over, his thoughts were running all over the place, he couldn't find a way out, and finally he had to struggle and try to pull his hand free.
He had covered it himself when he leaned forward just now. The heat that the gloves could not block made his fingers curl up. But now, he felt the gloves being pulled off.
Then the cold fingers touched the heat.
Ying Ying: "Do you want me to teach you how to even things out?"
Pei Shiyun couldn't think.
He had no idea whether the prosecutor's rest time had passed. However, the rest time was originally based on the habits of the prosecutors, and there was no possibility that it could not be changed.
There is no way to answer this.
He couldn't be rigid and inflexible. It was just that after violating the rules and being ignored by her, he always felt that he had turned back into the law-abiding Hui Guang Pei Shiyunli.
"When I was serving on Xijiao Star, I found the wreckage of Yu Can's mecha."
Pei Shiyun's eyelashes trembled violently and he looked up at her.
The two people looked at each other quietly.
Pei Shiyun said in a hoarse voice: "Is this your answer?"
Because they have paid too many sacrifices, and because peace is hard-won, the East and West regions will never be the first to become military domains to be exploited before the destabilizing factors are eliminated. They will always need checks and balances.
Ying Ying looked at him for a while and slowly let him go.
"no."
"That's the answer from the smoke."
Pei Shiyun remembered the account to which he had rewarded the author of Smoke Curling Up. In this silence, Ying Ying slowly put on the pair of white molecularly reconstructed gloves. The gloves fit tightly and melted into transparency in an instant.
No trace can be seen.
Pei Shiyun still didn't say anything until his fingers touched hers, and then he suddenly remembered that his gloves had been pulled off. If this happened on the battlefield, he would definitely die without a burial place.
Because he could no longer complete the mental connection. After the injury, the gloves were his only medium of perception. But Ying Ying pushed the gloves away, and his current medium of perception was completely on his eyes, nose and lips.
"She's telling me," Ying Ying kissed his cheek, her voice still faint, but it was the only voice Pei Shiyun could hear amidst the throbbing of his blood vessels, "If we continue to dwell on whether there have been changes relative to the past, all that will be left is regret."
Pei Shiyun actually felt a lump in his throat for a moment.
But she had not yet parted with him.
He touched her face randomly, gently, carefully and eagerly until the polar night completely came. "As long as you don't mind."
Ying Ying didn't even finish his words.
Pei Shiyun: "I don't mind."
He kissed her in a hoarse voice: "I don't mind anything." He spoke again in a hoarse voice: "I don't mind at all."
He closed his eyes.
As long as you're here, I don't mind anything.
The sun sets in the west.
Zuo Lin really wanted to urge the two marshals.
She also wanted to accept Jingwei's suggestion to contact Pei Yi who was not present, to confirm why Marshal Pei Shiyun's spiritual connection was disconnected from the Jingwei combat assistance system.
If possible, she even wanted to knock on the door to remind the two marshals that although prosecution was a routine duty, keeping it in the air all the time might bring psychological pressure to the training team.
But she didn't dare.
She looked away, pretending not to notice the several hundred emergency situations and solutions calculated by Jingwei's algorithms, including sixty-two situations in which the two marshals met with accidents and three hundred and sixty-five situations in which the two marshals started a fierce confrontation.
She thought, the comment section of the thread was right. Artificial intelligence doesn't understand emotions at all.
"Swish."
The cabin door opened, and she immediately turned around and saluted to report, but she didn't expect that Marshal Ying Ying had already walked down the gangway.
The majestic and cold command ship came to pick them up automatically, and Marshal Ying Ying signaled him with his eyes to follow from behind.
Zuo Lin nodded in agreement. He knew it was wrong, but he still looked back. In the polar night, the inspection cabin had not even restored the light source, and he didn't know whether Marshal Pei had not yet restored the mental connection.
The adjutant's instinct distracted her from thinking for a moment about how they would handle public opinion if this scene was captured by the editing gate and became evidence of the marshal's assassination of Marshal Pei.
Unexpectedly, before the command ship left, Marshal Pei came out of the dark inspection cabin. He was not wearing gloves and his eyes were far away from their marshal's command ship.
He just turned sideways and said to the voice-controlled intelligence of the command ship: "Go back."
Zuo Lin had already returned to the Marshal's command ship and instinctively went to see her. Ying Ying wore the pair of white molecular gloves that had regained their color. She tapped the armrests with her slender fingers, supported her head, and raised her voice slightly:
"Marshal Pei."
Pei Shiyun paused and did not look back.
Ying Ying: "I didn't violate the rules on my own initiative. If Marshal Pei wants to ask the Western Region to hold the Eastern Region and me accountable." She tapped the armrest: "It would be best to collect more evidence."
Pei Shiyun turned around.
Meet her deep and beautiful eyes.
His eyes were calm, and he walked up the gangway before saying, "I'll keep an eye on it."
Ying Ying leaned back and smiled.
You better be.
