"Weian doesn't want to?" Quan Chu asked softly, raising his hand to smooth his hair.
"Yeah." Wei An nodded aggrievedly, and tugged at his sleeve with her little hand, "Female father, can we not let the male father go to the battlefield?"
"Why not?" Quan Chu did not answer him, but asked him why he was unwilling.
"I don't want to be separated from the male father for such a long, long time." In order to let the female father know how long it would be, he even tried his best to draw a big circle with both hands.
Wei'an now knows what going to the battlefield means. It means that he may lose his life at any time, he may get injured, and he may not be able to come back for a very long time.
Just like Brother Quan Yan and Brother Quan Ci, he hasn't seen them for a long, long time.
Thinking of this, Wei An's eyes were filled with tears, and he looked very pitiful. "Can we not let our father go to the battlefield?"
Quan Chu touched his head silently without saying anything. Ever since Xiongzhu's illness was cured, he found that Xiongzhu was more concerned about the war than before.
He would review every battle in detail, then reshuffle the situation and try to command the battle with his own ideas and opinions.
He even began to exercise unconsciously, and he also picked up the knowledge he had learned in the military academy. Occasionally, Quan Chu would see him coming out of the virtual cabin sweating profusely, with a sharpness and joy in his blue eyes that had not yet faded.
In a trance, he once thought he saw the Alhandra hero from more than 30 years ago, who was still in the military academy and had sharp edges all over his body that could hurt insects.
Quan Chu suddenly realized that perhaps the most real years in the life of the male lord were those when he was a male son and had not yet truly shouldered the responsibilities of a male insect.
That look of being sharp, high-spirited, and arrogantly despising all hostility is his true self.
Perhaps the hero had suppressed all his edge because of responsibility and various reasons, but the blood flowing in his bones is the most difficult to erase. You have to know that restraint is just restraint, and those sharp edges have not been completely worn away by the years.
Just like the hero hiding in the collection room, the mecha he once drove to hunt star beasts is just waiting for the day when the dust is wiped off and he can stand on the battlefield again to complete the mission of conquest that he was destined to complete since birth.
But the one who could wipe the dust off him was not any of them, but Wei An.
Wei An was the only salvation he found during his long and lonely years.
Wei'an can't live without him, and he can't live without Wei'an even more.
All of Alhandra's conscious and unconscious actions showed the regret in his subconscious mind and the surging desire in his blood. But he couldn't bear to leave Wei An. He was struggling between Wei An and his past regrets, and the weight of Wei An was getting heavier.
In fact, this is also very good, at least this way the hero can live in peace.
But every time Quan Chu woke up in his dreams at midnight, he would feel regretful. He regretted that he could not see his heroic lord in high spirits on the battlefield, and he regretted that the eagle had restrained its wings and the beast had retracted its claws and fangs.
Unfortunately, Alhandra will spend the rest of his life unwillingly trying to hide his edge.
"Wei'an, your father is sad! He is struggling! He is unwilling to give up!" Quan Chu met his gaze and said in a serious tone, "He has been covered with dust by the years and responsibilities. Only you can wipe away that dust."
"The military had already invited him three months ago. Your father is very good. So good that even after sinking for so many years, the military was still willing to invite him."
"He didn't refuse nor agree. There are only two days left before the deadline. If he doesn't agree in two days, he might miss this only chance."
With the power of the Elhan family, it would be easy for Elhandra to enter the military department, but Quan Chu knew that the hero would not do that. As proud as he is, after missing out on the olive branch offered by the military this time, Alhandra will never use his family influence to get himself into the military.
Facing the serious expression of the female father, Wei An's tears that were filled with water fell down, and he said stubbornly, "I don't want the male father to go to the battlefield. I want the male father to accompany me."
After saying that, he turned around and ran away, all the way to the orchard where he found his father picking fruits. He rushed up like a little cannonball and threw himself into his father's arms.
Alhandra noticed that Wei An was in a bad mood and immediately dropped the fruit in his arms. He squatted down and hugged Wei An who rushed over to him. "What's wrong? Why are you crying like this?"
"Father Xiong." Wei An's soft voice was filled with obvious crying.
"I'm here, what's wrong?" Alhandra held his face and wiped his tears. Seeing him crying non-stop, his heart ached. Wei'an had seldom shed tears since he was five years old. To see him cry out of the blue was a little bit hard for this old father to accept.
"Father, please don't go to the battlefield." Wei An, who was in his arms, raised his head, his face covered with tears, and his deep blue eyes were filled with expectation but also a hint of fear.
Alhandra looked at him steadily, and the resentment that had been bubbling in his heart finally settled down under his tears.
"Okay." He smiled, and wiped Wei'an's tears with his thumb, and said softly, "Okay, father Xiong won't go, don't cry."
Quan Chu, who was following behind, stopped when he heard these words. He looked at Alhandra who was holding Wei An and coaxing him softly in the distance, and the faint regret in his heart turned into bitterness.
"Really?" Wei An's eyes widened. His blue eyes washed by tears were purer than the sky above the glacier.
"Really." Alhandra pinched his face amusedly and said in a teasing tone, "Are you crying like this just because of this?"
After getting Xiong's father's promise, Wei'an's emotions slowly recovered. After realizing that he had just cried like that, he snorted shyly and buried his head in Xiong's father's arms. He said in a muffled voice, "No, I didn't cry. Xiong's father was wrong. Wei'an didn't cry."
Well, even Wei An’s self-identity was revealed. It seems that he is really too embarrassed to bear it. If you tease him any more, he might get angry.
Alhandra picked him up with a smile and walked towards home.
When he passed by Quan Chu, who was standing aside with an unclear expression on his face, he stopped for a moment, then walked away again.
But after walking a distance, Alhandra looked back at Quan Chu and said, "Why are you standing there? Go home!"
Looking at the heroic lord in front of him and Wei'an who was buried in his arms and quietly leaning out to look at him, Quan Chu finally let go of the sadness and discomfort in his heart.
"Coming." He responded and followed.
The moonlight and starlight shone on them, covering them with a halo.
……………………
The sun was high in the sky. Today was Wei An's seventh birthday. He got up early in the morning and was a little excited. After meeting his friends, he started his daily routine of calling his brothers.
Because of the intense war situation, the brothers and sisters only sent gifts this time, and none of them came back.
Wei An puffed up his cheeks and looked a little unhappy, but he smiled when his brothers promised to come back next time.
"Brother, I miss you guys so much." Wei An moved closer to the virtual video, staring at his brother in military uniform on the other side of the virtual video without blinking.
Quan Yan chuckled. His tense mood was slightly relieved the moment he saw Wei An. His silver-gray hair was shaved into a buzz cut. His dark green eyes were sharp instead of gentle. "I miss Wei An, too. Very, very much."
I miss his smile and his soft hug.
The longer he stayed in the life-and-death fighting environment of the battlefield, the more he missed Wei'an and the unique taste of home beside him.
"Then brother should come back to see me earlier, even if it's not on my birthday." Wei An said eagerly.
"Okay." Quan Yan replied in a low voice.
After calling his brothers one by one, Wei An's depressed mood recovered and he ran out of the door to play with his friends.
Quan Chu's words that night still had some impact on Wei An. Even though Xiong's father had promised him not to go, Wei An was still a little curious about what Xiong's father looked like in the past.
After asking his friends, he found Uncle Angus, who used to go to the same school as Xiong's father.
"Uncle Angus, what did the male father look like before?"
Angus, who was eating dessert, saw Wei An's curious expression, swallowed the dessert in his mouth, thought for a while, and then said, "Your father was so arrogant that I wanted to beat him up when I saw him for the first time."
Wei An frowned, "Uncle Angus is talking nonsense, father Xiong is very well behaved."
"Tsk." Angus smacked his lips. "It seems you have a big misunderstanding of your father!"
"Come on, I'll take you to watch your father's old videos. He was really arrogant." He said, holding the dessert in one hand and holding Wei An's hand with the other, and then he stood up and left.
Vian followed Uncle Angus to the research base and saw many old videos of his father.
"These videos are of me beating your father or your father beating me. They are very memorable and educational. I originally wanted to save them and let my son beat his son up in the future to vent my anger. But after seeing you, I changed my mind."
"The Alhandra who was learning tactics at that time was really filthy-hearted. Losing to him was the most infuriating thing."
Angus muttered to himself while playing the video for him.
Humph, Xiong's father is not like what he said, Xiong's father is very well behaved!
Wei An, who was sitting obediently in front of the video, quietly retorted in his heart.
Wei An was thinking like this, but when he saw the arrogant father stepping on his enemy and laughing in the video, his mouth opened in surprise, and his little head was full of confusion.
Was Xiong's father like this before?
The father in the video has a wanton smile on his face, and his blue eyes are sharp and proud.
The arrogant smile on the virtual battlefield, the wanton and rampant behavior in the military battle arena, and the off-field full of female and male insects who were angry at but had to admire him because of their losses.
Whether he wins or loses, he has always been so rampant and wanton.
When the scorching sun hit his straight back, at that moment everything made way for the young man's spirit.
Wei An was completely stunned when he saw such a dazzling male father.
Was Xiong's father like this before?
He looks so happy!
Happier than now, happier than he had ever seen her!
Wei An suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He opened his mouth and said, "Uncle Angus, isn't father Xiong like this?"
Angus smiled, picked up a large piece of dessert and stuffed it into his mouth, with a hint of pride in his amber eyes, "He is like this, and has always been like this. Although he is hiding it very well now, I can still see through his willful and rampant nature at a glance."
Otherwise, the military would not have extended an olive branch to him more than 30 years later, just because the female and male insects who once followed him now hold important positions. And they know best what kind of male insect Alhandra is.
Wei An's heart was a little confused. After leaving Uncle Angus, he met Yang Xu. After hesitating for a while, he walked up to him and asked, "Uncle Yang Xu, are you free?"
Yang Xu, who was wearing a white coat, obviously saw his confusion and said, "I'm free."
He put down what he was doing and walked to the steps beside with Wei An and sat down. "Do you have anything you want to ask me?"
"Yeah." Wei An nodded and told him about his confusion, "Xiong's father has always been very well behaved, but the Xiong's father I saw just now is completely different from the Xiong's father now..."
Yang Xu listened patiently to his somewhat confusing language, and finally understood it in the end. It was like a story about a person who had a dream but had to give it up for some reason, and now had the opportunity to pick up his dream again but was hesitant.
He did not try to fool Wei An, but instead looked Wei An in the eye very seriously, "This matter is not about what your heroic father looks like, but whether he still has any regrets or resentment."
"You should know that regret and unwillingness are often the most secretive and longest-lasting pains, which often penetrate deeper into the bone marrow as time goes by......"
Wei An blinked his eyes, feeling a little reluctant. He didn't want his father to go to the battlefield.
However, he also wanted his father to be as dazzling as in the video.
Wei An told Chu Yi about his troubles, and Chu Yi pointed out the problem accurately, "You got the answer you wanted yesterday, but you are suddenly hesitant and distressed today. This shows that you are gradually leaning towards another choice. Even though such a tendency is not enough to offset your reluctance to leave Uncle Alhandra, there are only two days left."
Chu Yi said very seriously, "There are still two days left, including today. After tomorrow, Wei'an, even if you want Uncle Alhandra to go to the battlefield, there is nothing you can do. Uncle Alhandra is a very proud male insect in his bones. He will not use his power for his own benefit."
Although he knew that Wei'an would be sad about Uncle Alhandra's departure, Chu Yi didn't want Wei'an to understand Uncle Alhandra's regret when he grew up and feel sad again.
Because the pain I felt at that time has become a part of the past that I cannot and will not be able to change.
After hanging up the phone, Wei An found a place to stay alone. He held his face in a daze, thinking about the appearance of his father in the video.
Such a Xiongfu is dazzling, just like Xiongfu’s golden wings now, which are more dazzling than the sun.
Time passed little by little, until the sun set. After thinking for a long time, Wei'an finally made the difficult decision to let Xiong's father go to the battlefield.
Xiong's father promised not to go to the battlefield because he couldn't bear to leave him and wanted to accompany him as he grew up.
But as Xiong's father's little darling, he also wants to consider Xiong's father.
He wanted his father to be as dazzling as his wings again.
Although this will make him very sad, his father will come back to accompany him after the war.
Wei An patted his chest to comfort himself, muttering, "Don't be sad, don't be sad, the war will be over soon."
Only two days left!
Wei An suddenly remembered this, stood up and ran out.
Only two days left!
Only two days left!
He hurriedly ran out of the research base and ran back home, found the mecha that his father had hidden in the collection room, put it in the space, and then grunted to the Moore Building and handed it to the mecha technician for repair.
Repairing such a mecha also requires adding many newly developed functions and updating its intelligence, which is very expensive.
Wei An took out all his money but it was not enough. He hesitated for a while and then canceled the mecha he had customized yesterday. He used the deposit to repair the mecha, but it was still not enough.
After Wei'an borrowed money from Shang You and others but it was still not enough, he suddenly remembered that he could ask his brother for money. He did what he thought and immediately called his brother Quan Lu.
After learning what he was going to do, Quan Lu was silent for a moment, then gave him a large sum of money and said, "Please re-order the mecha you cancelled!"
Wei An, who had enough money, narrowed his eyes and said, "Thank you, brother."
Quan Ryul smiled and felt a little emotional after hanging up the phone.
His heroic father, it is time to break free and fly!
House insects are never chains that bind them, but rather the motivation and courage to help them fly.
After paying the money and waiting for repairs, Wei An took out the knife from his body and forcefully broke the tip of the knife.
It hurts so much!
It hurts so much!
The pain of breaking the knife tip made Wei An grit his teeth.
The broken tip of the knife re-formed into a small knife, and the big knife with the broken tip returned to its original shape in a short while, but the solid knife body became a lot more illusory.
Wei An endured the pain and quietly placed the knife on the mecha.
The moment the knife touched the mecha, it merged into it. A small knife with black and silver patterns could be seen suddenly appearing on the tall mecha.
In the Elhan Manor, Elhandra, who hadn't seen Vian for a day, felt a little strange. Shang You and the others were all here, so where would he go?
Just when he was about to make a call, he saw Wei An, who had hurried back and was still a little disheveled.
"Father Xiong." Wei An, with a sweaty and red face, looked up and stood in front of him, taking out the repaired mecha from the space, "Father Xiong, look."
His blue eyes curved, "I have repaired your mecha, and father Xiong can drive it into the battlefield."
"!!"
Alhandra was extremely surprised. He looked at the brand new mecha and then at the excited Vian. He was a little confused as to why Vian, who had been crying and begging him not to go to the battlefield yesterday, suddenly changed his attitude.
Quan Chu on the side was also surprised.
Wei An saw that Xiong's father was standing still, so he stepped forward, took his hand and put it on the mecha, and looked up at him with his blue eyes, "Xiong's father, take the mecha to the battlefield!"
The moment he touched the mecha, Alhandra's silent heart began to beat.
When my life was in danger, I thought it would be better to stay in the rear and live a carefree life than to die on the battlefield and cause a riot among the female soldiers.
But is it really free and easy?
Alhandra asked himself, he never felt that such a life was free and easy. Every war over the years, every order to go into battle, every sound of artillery fire would wake him up in the middle of the night and he would not be able to fall asleep for a long time.
He looked down at Wei An, met his blue eyes and raised an eyebrow, "Can you bear to let me go?"
"I can't bear to leave." Wei An shook his head quickly and reached out to him for a hug with a bit of discomfort.
"It's right that you don't want to let go." Alhandra smiled and hugged him.
Wei An wrapped his arms around Xiong's father's neck, buried his face in his shoulder and said sullenly, "But Wei An couldn't bear to see Xiong's father sad."
"So Wei An wants Xiongfu to go to the battlefield, wants Xiongfu to be as dazzling as before, and wants Xiongfu to have no regrets or unwillingness in his life that made Chong very sad."
Are you unwilling?
Alhandra silently lowered his head and rubbed Vian's cheek, thinking of his conscious or unconscious behaviors in recent days, and suddenly smiled.
He is unwilling!
No matter whether his life is guaranteed or not, no matter what the reason is, he is unwilling to give in!
……………………
The next day, Alhandra finally accepted the olive branch extended by the military. Vian made the decision with reluctance. As a heroic father, how could he be so timid?
Upon learning that Xiong's father was leaving tomorrow, Wei An got up early in the morning to prepare Xiong's father's luggage.
Food, drinks, clothes, medicines, treatment devices, treatment cabins, and daily necessities were stuffed into the Alhandra space in piles.
When he was sleeping with Xiong's father last night, he made an agreement with Xiong's father that he would have a video call with him every day, and he would take care of himself not to get hurt, eat well, finish the battle quickly and come back, and so on and so on.
It was also the first time that Alhandra knew that his own Wei'an had such a talkative side.
The day passed quickly, and the warm morning breeze was still blowing, mixed with the familiar fruity scent of the past. Wei An, who was standing on the grass to see his male father off, suddenly turned his head and buried himself in his brother Quan Xiao's arms when the male and female father's aircraft completely disappeared.
He clenched his brother's clothes tightly with his little hands, and after holding it in for a long time, he finally couldn't help but burst into tears.
When he heard his first cry, Quan Xiao couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat. He bent down and patted his back gently with heartache and comfort.
Quan Gu, who was standing by, was squatting on the ground anxiously and confusedly, and was clumsily and carefully holding Wei'an in his arms.
The tender and heart-wrenching cry echoed in the air for a long time, telling the story of separation that one must experience as part of growing up.
