Chapter 30: The Tacit Understanding of Adults
He Qing completed the challenge as planned, and Zhang Yi and the others came over to congratulate him. Zhang Lin looked at the forum again and continued to pretend he didn't know. He said, "It should go more smoothly from now on."
"I hope it will be quick." He Qing looked at the time. It was six in the evening. "It's getting late. I have to log off."
"See you tomorrow." Shi Lei and the others waved at him.
He Qing exited the Star Network and took off his holographic helmet. Suddenly he heard voices outside. He walked to the balcony and looked down. As the sun was setting, a group of people were coming back with their prey in a lively and bustling manner.
He Qing looked closely and saw that one of them was a fish, and the other looked like an ichthyosaur? He thought again and decided that it should be called a prehistoric dinosaur.
He ran downstairs to greet them and saw Duan Chenhui directing Duan Yi: "Put it here first and pile it up with snow."
"Yes." Duan Yi immediately got on the mecha and built a big snowman on top of the prey.
He Qing hid his hands in his coat and stood there looking at them: "It's really a natural refrigerator." Amitabha.
Duan Chenhui walked towards him and asked casually, "Have you finished playing the game?"
He Qing released his hands, clasped them together, and smiled: "General, you have finished fishing, and I have finished playing games. Now it is time to eat."
The two looked at each other, pretending not to know what the other meant.
Duan Chenhui smiled back: "Indeed, the fish I caught today was quite big, it surprised me."
Big Fish He Qing blinked: "That must be delicious."
Duan Yi ran over and laughed, "Of course! This is deep-sea whitebait. Slurp, it's delicious whether it's made into soup, stewed, or grilled. It's even more delicious when made into lotus root soup."
"..." He Qing turned his head and looked at him, brother, forget about making lotus root soup. This lotus root spirit feels a bit sad here.
"..." Duan Chenhui also turned his head and looked at Duan Yi, "You only know how to eat."
"???" Duan Yi's eyes widened. What did he say wrong? Isn't it delicious? "Mingming, you like it the most."
He Qing looked back at Duan Chenhui again, curling his lips and smiling deeply: "The general is also a good eater."
"..." Duan Chenhui was tricked by his good brother and touched his sleeves. "Let's go back to eat." He quickly changed the subject. "We will put up the New Year flag tomorrow."
It is a traditional program for the Empire to raise the national flag and hang colorful banners during the New Year. The next day, He Qing was pulled over by Duan Chenhui's brothers to help.
As the weakest Omega in the family, He Qing is the one who helps check for symmetry, Duan Yi is the one who climbs onto the roof to hang the flag, and Duan Chenhui is responsible for supervising the entire scene.
He Qing stood under the house and looked up: "Duan Yi, the angle is a little off, move a little to the right."
"Oh, wait." Duan Yi climbed up the semicircular fortress and moved his body like a gecko.
He Qing looked at his feet and said, "Be careful with the snow, don't roll down." As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Yi suddenly lost his grip and fell headfirst, landing on the thick snow.
He Qing stepped back a few steps, then took a few steps forward: "Are you okay?"
Duan Yi stretched out a hand and struggled to grab the snow: "No, it's okay." It's just a little embarrassing.
Duan Chenhui couldn't bear to watch, so he walked over and pulled him up: "I told you to just stand on the roof and hang, but you insisted on climbing up."
"It's more of a ritual." Duan Yi sighed, "I'll climb again."
"Come on, Brother Duan." He Qing encouraged Duan Yi with a smile.
Duan Chenhui looked back at him: "You are quite skilled at calling."
He Qing smiled and turned on the screen to change the subject: "It hangs very nicely. It's quite beautiful. Looking down from the sky, it looks like a huge colorful chrysanthemum."
Duan Chenhui took a look and inexplicably agreed with He Qing.
After hanging up the chess pieces, they started barbecuing in the evening. Everyone went outside and set up a tent. He Qing watched TV with a cup of tea, enjoying the show very much.
The drama inside is playing out: "You lied to me" and "You are being unreasonable", and it has not changed for thousands or tens of thousands of years.
Duan Chenhui came over and sat down, looking at the TV: "Is it good?"
He Qing nodded: "It's quite unreasonable."
Duan Chenhui found it funny and turned around to ask him, "Why?"
"If this is true, it can only mean that they are not destined to be together. Why force it?" He Qing drank the tea with both hands and looked back at Duan Chenhui. "What do you think, General?"
Duan Chenhui narrowed his eyes slightly and handed over a gift box: "You are right, this is something I exchanged for my points. I will open it when I get back."
He Qing took it and scanned it with his spiritual sense. He knew that there was a mecha button inside, which was specially used to place a mecha. In other words, the New Year's gift was a mecha. He frowned while holding the gift box and asked, "Did great grandfather put the wrong gift?"
Duan Chenhui smiled and said, "Even if I put it in the wrong place, it's fate. You said it yourself. Do you still want to back out? That's unlucky."
"The general is right." He Qing sighed while holding the gift. He was outmaneuvered and Duan Chenhui returned his words.
"What are you talking about? Don't you want to eat barbecue?" Duan Yi ran over with skewers and shared them with them, "Eat more." He took a large plate and ran to share it with others.
He Qing tried a bite of the prehistoric animal and felt that it was similar to other meats, and a little tough... so he stuffed the rest of the meat to Duan Chenhui.
"Is that enough?" Duan Chenhui really felt that he ate very little.
"You'll know the taste once you've tried it. It may not be suitable for me." He Qing said something particularly profound.
Duan Chenhui: "...Do you want to say it's a bit chai?"
"...General, you said it yourself." He Qing took out a wooden fish and knocked it. After a while, Duan Yi came over and pulled them to dance around the campfire.
He Qing held Duan Chenhui on the right and Duan Yi on the left and circled around the campfire. Finally, they took a family photo in front of the campfire.
The next day, He Qing found that the photo was placed on the bedside table by Duan Chenhui.
He Qing picked it up and looked at it. This might be the only photo left after he left.
He Qing let it go silently.
The next day, he and Duan Chenhui returned to the general's mansion, and then went straight to find the dean. He stood in front of the dean's office and knocked on the door.
"The door is not locked, come in."
He Qing held the door handle and pushed the door open. The dean was drinking ginseng tea. He looked up and saw him and almost spit out the tea. He forced himself to swallow it but choked instead: "Cough cough cough... He Qing??"
Qiao Yi smiled and ran over to pat his teacher on the back: "Teacher, drink your tea slowly."
The dean was so shocked that his jaw dropped. He slapped Qiao Yi's mischievous hand away and said, "He Qing, I have something important to do today—"
"I also came to see the dean for important matters." He Qing walked over with a smile on his face.
The dean picked up the ginseng tea again and took a gulp to calm himself down: "So...what are you doing here?"
He Qing lowered his head and took out a contract: "I have studied it for a whole night, and I still hope that the dean can keep it confidential for me. Please sign the contract."
"Are you He Lian?" The dean looked down, his mouth twitching violently. He Qing turned out to be the little dark horse! This little dark horse was particularly ferocious, punching the seniors and kicking the coaches all the way to climb up.
"Yes." He Qing admitted frankly, looking at the dean's hand, "Did the dean sign it?"
Qiao Yi stood by and tried to hold back his laughter. This contract should be a real "contract". Although he didn't know how He Qing did it, was there really magic in this world?
The dean glared at Qiao Yi. It was obvious that Qiao Yi had known about it for a long time. He sighed and said, "Well, I won't leak it unless there is an accident." He added in his heart that it would be hard to say if there was an accident.
"Thank you, Dean. I believe there won't be any accidents." He Qing urged, "Please sign."
The dean was stared at by He Qing and Qiao Yi and had no choice but to stretch out his finger to sign. As soon as he signed, he felt a chill down his spine and felt that something was wrong.
He Qing neatly put away the contract: "Thank you, Dean."
The dean laughed and took out the anchor's contract: "Does General Duan know?"
"I don't know if he knows." He Qing's words took a roundabout way.
The dean narrowed his eyes slightly, looked up at him and said, "Yes, the young man is very capable." He even kept it a secret from Duan Chenhui, but Duan Chenhui might not be unaware of it.
It’s a pity that this couple acted so realistically!
The dean put down the electronic pen with a "pop" and said, "You should sign it too."
He Qing scanned the contract quickly before signing. The dean was irritated by his caution and said, "I am the dean of the hospital after all. I won't cheat you."
After signing, He Qing raised his head and saluted with one hand: "I'm just afraid that the person who drafted the contract will cheat me."
"..." Qiao Yi, who was standing nearby and was attacked for no apparent reason, was shot in the knee. He was the one who drafted the contract, and last night he was forced to become a laborer for his mentor.
The dean turned his head and looked at Qiao Yi, smiling: "Indeed, some people are not honest."
Qiao Yi scratched his head and said, "Let's not hurt each other anymore. We are in the same boat now! We should live in peace."
He Qing smiled and put away the contract: "Teacher is right."
Qiao Yi put his arm around his shoulders and went out: "Then let's go to class first, and see the dean again."
"Goodbye, Dean." This was He Qing's voice.
The dean waved his hand sadly and said, "Go ahead. Sooner or later, I will be pissed off to death by you guys." They are simply traitors and their descendants!
*
After returning, He Qing did work harder, and the number of people in the live broadcast room soared. It took him more than half a month to climb to the 10,000th place, which was equivalent to killing more than 50,000 people.
It simply shocked the entire audience.
He Qing counted on his fingers and found that since the battle with "Chen Hui", many people had surrendered when they met him, so he climbed faster than he expected.
Zhang Yi sent him a congratulatory message: [Congratulations, Mr. He! ]
Shi Lei also sent him a congratulatory message: [Congratulations, Mr. He.] Then he said something that would cause a civil war within the team, [If you continue to climb up, won't you run into Zhang Yi and the others?]
Zhang Yi and others: [……] Wait! It seems so! They almost overlooked this.
[……] He Qing stared at Shi Lei's name, [Student Shi Lei, I am beginning to doubt your intentions.]
[Hahaha, I didn't say anything.] Shi Lei put on a melon-eating look, [Hey, Mr. He, you are always welcome to challenge me!]
Chu Yan: [Let’s have a fight. ]
He Qingzhi was offline: [I have something urgent to do, bye.] He had to find a way to skip Zhang Yi and the others.
He Qing touched his forehead and walked out of the room, bumping into Duan Chenhui who was standing outside: "Sorry."
"What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about feeding the carp." He Qing nodded to himself.
Duan Chenhui looked at him for a while and adjusted his tie: "I'm going out now. The foreign team has arrived at the border."
He Qing's eyes lit up. His real body had reached the border? !
"General, be careful. I'll wait for you here." He Qing urged him, "General, please get on the spaceship quickly, or you'll be late."
"You seem to be more anxious than me?" Duan Chenhui walked down the stairs suspiciously.
He Qing smiled faintly: "Because I have never seen a foreigner."
Seeing that what He Qing said made some sense, Duan Chenhui stopped caring and got into the hovercraft: "Call me if you have anything."
"Okay, goodbye, General." He Qing waved at him, watched the hovercraft drive out of the courtyard, and quickly ran upstairs, then called Qiao Yi, "Teacher, I also want to go to the border to see the aliens."
"What's so good about those strange-looking aliens?" Qiao Yi threatened him, "I tell you, they not only have tentacles, but also suction cups, exposed gills, eight legs, six hands, flowers on their heads, and some are transparent. In any case, they don't look like humans."
"Teacher, is there nothing we can do?" He Qing touched his head. He actually also had flowers on his head... Would the general find it weird?
"Yes." Qiao Yi changed the subject, "But you have to tell me why you want to go? Duan Chenhui will definitely have no problem dealing with them."
He Qing: "Then I'll go find the dean."
"Student He Qing, you're using this trick again. Only Zhang Lin would fall for it." Qiao Yi touched his chin. "But I can indeed let you join the diplomatic corps. Forget it, I'll let you go."
"Thank you, mentor."
Qiao Yi hung up the phone and called the king with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have found you a 3S-level super bodyguard who will ensure that the aliens will not and dare not assassinate you, Your Majesty."
"Haha, that's great. Does your lab still need funding?"
"Yes, my laboratory really needs it."
"Okay, I'll call you from my private account."
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty."
Qiao Yi and the king made a dirty deal and hung up the phone happily. The disciple next to him trembled: "Teacher... who do you recommend?" He Qing? ? Help! Is this the dirty fight in the legend?
"Oh, he is the weakest Omega in the family. Good luck to the king." Qiao Yi patted his disciple on the shoulder, "Let's continue our research."
"Yes..." He must keep this secret tightly! Otherwise, his life will be in danger!
Qiao Yi picked up the test tube and smiled at the light. Alas, the king was very sensible. He deserved to be the king. I just wonder if the king would be frightened when he saw He Qing...
It would not be his business if the king revealed He Qing's identity at that time.
