The Imperial Military Hospital basically only accepts military casualties. It is very busy during the days when the war is frequent, but it is relatively idle when there is no war.
After sending off a few veterans who came for regular physical examinations, the man in the physical examination room sat down and looked at his personal terminal.
Usually, he is responsible for doing physical examinations for soldiers and officers in need, and passing the physical examination reports to the people who come for the physical examination and the attending doctors. His work is relatively leisurely, and he has a lot of spare time to fish.
At this moment, he opened the personal terminal, and the web page that popped up on the virtual screen was still on a suspension car he had browsed before.
This car has been on the mind of the man for a long time, and he has checked the information for several rounds. Every day, he looks at the quotes on the Star Network. The more he looks, the more he likes it, but he lacks the money.
The salary of the crew cutoff job is so low every month. His family thinks he is an omega, so they use their connections to get him a job in the military hospital. They don't expect him to make a name for himself. He is lucky if he can live a comfortable life.
But the crew cutoff is not willing to accept this, especially when he looks at all kinds of luxury goods. His unwillingness is even more obvious.
Take this car for example. The crew cutoff counted on his fingers and felt that he might have to save for half a lifetime to buy it even if he didn't eat or drink. But by then, newer cars will be available, and he will still have to drive outdated cars.
Thinking of this, the crew cutoff felt uncomfortable.
A small box appeared on the top of the web browser, reporting some hot news. At this moment, it was writing a line of words: Major General Lu Zhao made his first public appearance after the military riot.
Another advantage of working in the physical examination room of a military hospital is that you can come into contact with many celebrities in the military. Ban Cun snorted when he saw the news. These gossip reporters just took a photo of Lu Zhao traveling and put it on the hot topic? If he tells others what he knows, it might occupy the headlines of the news for a week!
With a subtle sense of superiority, Ban Cun clicked on the hot news.
The report didn't say much, just saying that Bai Li and Lu Zhao were photographed walking together near the research institute invested by Bai Li yesterday evening. It seemed that they had a close relationship. The rumors about the breakup of their relationship were refuted. A photo was also posted.
The crew cut saw the car the two people in the photo were driving at a glance. Wow, isn't this the car he had been coveting for a long time?
He had also seen the photos of Bai Li and Lu Zhao when they got married. Bai Li was not driving this car at that time! He remembered several news reports in the past. Bai Li had several cars to drive, each one more expensive and more stylish than the last.
The angle of the photo was not very good, but it could still be seen that Lu Zhao and Bai Li were standing very close and looked very intimate.
A group of idle people were discussing in the comments.
"I think Major General Lu Zhao and Bai Li have a very good relationship. The rumors of a breakup are just groundless!"
"Maybe they did it for show. It's hard to say~"
"If some people are not living well themselves, then stop making malicious speculations about other people's private lives, okay? Lu Zhao and Bai Li have lived in peace for so long after their marriage. I used to say a few words, but now I'm tired of it and feel there is nothing good to gossip about. Why are some people still so excited?"
His haircut flipped twice. Netizens have not been so aggressive recently. Although they still favor Lu Zhao a little more in the marriage of Bai Li and Lu Zhao, and think that his marriage to Bai Li is like flowers stuck in concrete, but recently everyone has become a little more indifferent, mainly because Bai Li seems to be doing pretty good, except that he can't continue to shine in the military due to his leg injury.
Compare and contrast, and you will find that Bai Li's grandson is indeed too good-looking. He is handsome, and he is also from an aristocratic family. He had a lot of gossip in the past, but none of them were true. Before marrying Lu Zhao, he was single.
"What's the use of being handsome," the crew cut snorted, "he's still a cripple."
After saying that, he felt sour in his heart.
In fact, he also knew that Bai Li would not have any social interaction with him even if both legs were broken, let alone one leg was defective. He
flipped through the newspaper again and found that it was Lu Zhao who drove Bai Li out. The crew cut stared at Lu Zhao in the photo for a long time, and remembered his cold eyes when he came for a physical examination last time.
The self-esteem of the man with a buzz cut was pierced: "Damn, what are you so proud of? You are so awesome, but you still end up marrying a woman with a broken leg?"
After cursing, he opened his small account on the forum and went to the chat section to post: Some people may be so proud now, but they may have a messy life in private, haha, if I am in a bad mood, I will expose all his affairs to see if he can live like this!
He typed again on the first floor: I am talking about a certain celebrity, haha.
Not long after he posted, he saw a few people who were busy with troubles replied below, asking him who he was talking about and what he wanted to expose.
A subtle sense of superiority and pleasure arose in Ban Cun's heart. Of course, he did not dare to really tell Lu Zhao about his infertility, but the feeling of knowing the secret of the Imperial Eagle made him feel much more comfortable.
After enjoying this one-sided venting, Ban Cun slowly opened the entertainment section and prepared to browse the posts and gossip.
Unexpectedly, when he opened the entertainment section, the top post was related to two old acquaintances.
There was a line of words on the post: Oh my God! Have you seen the video of the mecha simulation confrontation posted by Bai Libo? Lu Zhao VS Bai Li, I would like to call it the Imperial Eagle smashing the concrete!
As soon as he got to work today, Ban Cun was busy giving physical examinations to several senior cadres. He had no time to browse forum gossip. He was confused when he saw the post. Just as he was about to click it to take a closer look, the door of the physical examination room was pushed open.
Ban Cun hurriedly put away his personal terminal: "What's the matter——"
He looked up and saw that the person who came was a stranger. He looked quite young and had short red hair.
Before the crew cut could finish his words, the red-haired young man walked in with a smile: "Hello, doctor, my last name is Kuai, Kuai Le!"
"Kuai..." The crew cut thought for a moment and asked doubtfully, "I'm sorry, there seems to be no one with the last name Kuai in the list of people scheduled for physical examinations today."
The young man named Kuai Le closed the door and smiled kindly: "I'm not here for a physical examination, I'm here... to ask you something."
The crew cut was even more confused: "You want to ask me something?"
"Well, I heard..." Kuai Le's big eyes were particularly smart. He scanned the room and made sure that there was no one else before looking at the crew cut, "Is Major General Lu Zhao having a physical examination here?"
The crew cut's face suddenly turned cold.
People in their line of work hate to ask others about their patients. Although Bansha was not the attending physician, he knew what to say and what not to say. He said coldly: "I don't know. Who told you? Go ask somewhere else and don't talk nonsense to me."
After saying that, he was about to go out to coax people.
Kuai Le was pushed by him and took two steps outside. He said anxiously: "Oh my! I don't mean anything else, just chat, chat!"
"I have nothing to chat with you, you can find whoever you want, not here--" The buzz cut man was stuck in the middle of his words.
His eyes fell on the personal terminal that Kuai Le took out. There was a transaction page on the virtual screen. The string of zeros on the amount column made Kuai Le count several times.
Seeing that he was frozen, Kuai Le quickly stood up and smiled again: "Let's just chat, it won't take up your time in vain, do you think it's okay?"
The buzz cut man's lips moved.
Bai Li read in a clear and emotional voice: "Lu Zhao VS Bai Li! I would like to call it the imperial eagle smashing the concrete!"
Lu Zhao was drinking a bottle of juice, he took a sip and kept coughing.
"I would call it the Imperial Eagle smashing concrete!" Bai Li emphasized again and read it aloud.
Then he laughed so hard that he fell on the sofa and couldn't get up.
Lu Zhao finally calmed down, but when he saw Bai Li's dog-like appearance of laughing on the sofa, he was speechless again.
This grandson has soft black hair, which is easily messy, and he likes to rub it on the soft cushions such as the sofa pillow. That's fine, but he has to tidy it up after rubbing it, because Master Bai has to maintain a radiant image before he is willing to go out, to ensure that he is handsome every time he is blocked and photographed. Every time he
tidies it up, it's messy. Lu Zhao has never seen his hair neat when he is at home.
Lu Zhao walked to the sofa and nudged the young master Bai lying on the sofa with his knees: "Hair."
"Ah?"
"Hair, like a dog's nest," Lu Zhao said again, "Not going out?"
Bai Li said "Oh", hurriedly climbed up from the sofa, and walked to the bedroom while pulling his hair, and did not forget to turn back and tell him: "Xianhua, wait a minute, our military has to pay attention to appearance and etiquette when going out..." He
was so focused on the whole hair movement that he went into the bedroom without finishing the second half of the sentence.
Lu Zhao drank the remaining few sips of juice in his hand, and logged into his blog with his personal terminal while drinking.
What Bai Li just read was a post on the forum, but the post discussed the video of the mecha simulation battle between him and Lu Zhao yesterday that Bai Li posted on his blog.
Last night before going to sleep, Lu Zhao went over the simulated fight with Bai Li in his mind. Bai Li's control of the mecha was better than Lu Zhao imagined. Lu Zhao had to admit that he was getting better at fighting and wanted to have another fight with Bai Li.
As soon as he opened Bai Li's blog, Lu Zhao saw a glaring title: If you love him, you must be brave enough to be beaten!
It was followed by a red heart-shaped symbol.
Lu Zhao's head hurt when he saw this Bai Li-style title.
Before he even opened the video, he saw the first comment on the hot review: [The video is quite exciting, but I hope someone can teach Bai Li how to write a title so that he looks like a normal A.]
This comment received countless likes.
Lu Zhao's mouth curled up and he clicked on the video to watch.
The video was not long, and Bai Li did not do anything weird with the video. He posted it on the blog without changing anything. It was the part where Lu Zhao and Bai Li were fighting with lightsabers at the beginning.
Lu Zhao watched the video again from the perspective of a bystander. Bai Li drove the mecha as he pleased, and it was quite cool. It was completely different from Lu Zhao's attack.
The video ended abruptly when the two were fighting hard. The short five or six minutes of the video had already caused a lot of comments.
[What the hell! What the hell! What the hell!]
[I haven't seen such an exciting close-range confrontation in years! Is this really Major General Lu Zhao and Bai Li?]
[It's certain that the white mecha is driven by Lu Zhao. Did you see the backhand chop just now? That's Lu Zhao's usual fighting style. I saw various training videos released by the First Army on military forums a long time ago. It was Lu Zhao for sure.]
[Damn, so the blue one is Bai Li? Sure, Master Bai, whether he can win or not is another matter. There aren't many young masters of noble families who can fight like this with a major general, right?]
[I don't believe that Bai Li went to the simulation warehouse by himself! Maybe Bai Li was really good before, but now Bai Li's legs can do it?]
[1! Didn't they say that Bai Li couldn't drive a mecha? Now he can? Do you think I'm an idiot? ]
There was a lot of noise in the comments. Some people suspected that the blue mecha in the video was not driven by Bai Li himself. Some people said that Bai Li's legs might have recovered in the past two years. Many people were very focused and praised Lu Zhao for being the Eagle of the Empire. Even the simulated confrontation was so exciting.
Lu Zhao had also gotten used to the smog in Bai Li's blog comments. The video in this blog might be too shocking. Everyone in the comment area stopped cursing. Questioning whether it was Bai Li himself was secondary. There were indeed many people who were discussing mecha-related issues rationally.
After scrolling through a few more comments, I saw a message from a real-name verified account: [I watched the video carefully several times. I am also a mecha enthusiast. I have studied it for several years and have made some achievements in this area. According to my observation, the blue mecha is not the type of mecha currently in use by the Empire. It is reasonable to speculate that it is a model under development. The driver of the blue mecha should have a very high level, even higher than some current legion soldiers. The driver of the white mecha should be Major General Lu Zhao. There is no doubt that his personal style is very obvious, the mecha movements are smooth, and his personal habit of focusing on attack is also very prominent. Haha, it is a very exciting battle video. ]
From time to time, some videos of military training would be leaked and put on the Imperial Military Forum. Many enthusiasts in this field would often browse and discuss, analyzing the fighting habits of some of the more famous officers in the Empire, etc. Therefore, many people recognized Lu Zhao.
[Fuck, it’s Ming Da! I bow down to him OTZ]
[The living Ming Da! Ming Da actually came to this kind of place to hang out! I bow down to him OTZ]
[I bow down to him OTZ] [
I bow down to him OTZ]
[What what, what kind of celebrity is he?]
[Ming Da is a big shot in the elite area of the military section of the forum, a professor at the Imperial Military Academy, and often shares useful information in the military section. Every time I read his posts, I benefit a lot! Ahhhhhh Ming Da, look at me! ]
[Ask Master Ming quietly, is the blue mecha really Bai Li? ]
This user with real-name authentication replied with a comment after many people asked: [I have not seen the training video of Mr. Bai Li before, but I heard that the research institute invested by Mr. Bai Li also has research on mechas. Perhaps this mecha under development is the model that the research institute is developing. As for whether it is Mr. Bai Li himself, I cannot confirm it, but based on Mr. Bai Li’s military rank and military exploits before he left the military, it is not surprising even if it is him. After all, it is impossible to hold a general-level military position in the First Army without such strength.]
The comment area has once again started a heated discussion because of a few words from this military leader.
Bai Li faded out of the public eye for many years, and it was only during the time when he married Lu Zhao that he was pushed back by the wave of public opinion. Most of the people who paid attention to this marriage came here for Lu Zhao, but they didn't know much about Bai Li.
[Damn it! I wanted to say this before. Bai Li was at least a major general before he retired from the military. I just wonder why some people feel sorry for Lu Zhao and think that Bai Li is not worthy of him.]
[Some people, please stop talking after the fact. Now you start to criticize Bai Li again? Haha, have you forgotten when you scolded him so harshly?]
[Ah, Bai Li has only been in the military for a few years. Who knew he was a major general...]
[That's right, he retired after only a few years in the military and you blame me for not knowing enough?]
[Some people, please stop getting so angry. You scolded Bai Li for being useless before, and now you are still making excuses after being slapped in the face? Do you mean it or not?]
[Stop making noise, the video is so exciting, take a closer look, Mr. Bai Li and Major General Lu Zhao are both so handsome! Can I ask who won in the end?]
[Lu Zhao must have won! Bai Li has been retired for a long time, and besides, it is not certain that it was Bai Li who drove the car, right? I wonder why you all look so sure that it was Bai Li?]
[On the rooftop! Anyway, I don’t believe it. I admit that Bai Li has no other problems, but his leg injury is so serious that he has to retire from the military. That means he is definitely unable to drive a mecha. How can he fight on equal terms with Major General Lu Zhao if he can’t drive one?]
[Well, just, I want to ask how Bai Li’s leg was injured? ]
[I heard that a rescue mission failed and many people died. Bai Li was injured at that time.]
[Shit, it failed? I thought he was so awesome. Could it be that he felt he was a waste of talent and retired? Hahahaha~]
[It seems that the Empire didn't report it much! Since the damage was so serious, why don't I have any impression of it? Logically, this should be a big deal. Aren't the media reporting it like crazy now?]
[I don't know and I don't want to know! I just want to continue watching the video of Major General Lu Zhao driving a mecha! Mr. Bai Li, one more clip! ]
The comments section was full of all sorts of things. Lu Zhao paused for a moment on the comments discussing the cause of Bai Li's leg injury. Just as he was about to read on, he heard the sound of Bai Li's bedroom door opening.
Bai Li had changed into a set of clothes for going out and had his hair done up. He was texting Situ with a personal terminal in one hand while talking to Lu Zhao: "Everything is ready at the research institute. Are we leaving now?"
Lu Zhao looked back at him, his eyes slid down and scanned his left leg wrapped in casual pants.
"Flowers?" Bai Li didn't hear a response, so he called again.
Lu Zhao hummed, flipped through the virtual screen again, chose a comment in Bai Li's comment area that he liked, clicked "like", then closed his personal terminal and stood up. Without mentioning what he had just read on the Internet, he walked towards the door with Bai Li.
"I may get beaten today." Bai Da Shaoye said calmly.
"..." Lu Zhao's mind hadn't turned around yet, "Be beaten?"
Bai Li leaned over and said to Lu Zhao: "He found out that I picked the vegetables that Situ had ordered, and he has been scolding me since last night."
The two of them always got together to talk about this trivial matter. Lu Zhao couldn't stop laughing. He raised his hand to push Bai Li's head away. He saw a tuft of hair on the back of Bai Li's head curled up. The hand that was originally stretched out to push it away turned and smoothed his hair: "It curled up."
"Ah?" Bai Li let Lu Zhao's hand stroke his hair, and simply bent down and moved his head closer, "Then Major General brother will fix it."
Lu Zhao's hand was very gentle when he stroked Bai Li's hair. Bai Li felt his heart tremble.
Before Bai Li could feel whether the little dog in his heart started to make trouble again, he heard Lu Zhao's voice calmly: "Bai Li, you know the little reporter who forced the car to stop yesterday, right?"
The little dog's family was burped and died.
Bai Li's heart almost stopped, and he began to stutter as he looked at Lu Zhao: "Ah, what, no--"
"Talk about it when you want to." Lu Zhao removed his hand from Bai Li's hair, glanced at Bai Li, and then walked to the door to change his shoes, "I just don't want to hold it in."
They had agreed before that they would do whatever
they felt comfortable with. Bai Li didn't want to say it, and Lu Zhao didn't intend to keep asking. But Lu Zhao's two sudden stops last night also showed his attitude towards the matter. He felt unhappy, but he didn't take it out on Bai Li.
He just wanted to tell Bai Li that I have an opinion on this matter, but I'm very arrogant and don't want to hold it in.
Lu Zhao didn't understand what he had an opinion on and why he had an opinion.
But since this period of time, he and Bai Li had more than one unclear matter.
Bai Li stood there for a while. He seemed to have returned to the mood after being hit by two sudden brakes last night. There was something stuck in his chest, and he had to ask it out to feel comfortable.
He walked over to change shoes with Lu Zhao. After a few seconds, he carefully spoke: "Xianhua, are you angry?"
Lu Zhao was stunned, thought for a while, and also spoke carefully: "I am angry?"
"Fuck," Bai Li was confused, "You can ask this question back?"
Lu Zhao didn't understand either: "What the hell is this?"
The four interrogative sentences made the two adults dumbfounded. After looking at each other for a long time, Bai Li almost fell down with laughter while holding the wall. Lu Zhao himself laughed so hard that he had to lend a hand to Bai Da Shaoye.
I waited until I went out and went downstairs. I couldn't remember whether I was angry or not, and why I was angry.
Neither of them knew how much gossip Lu Zhao had just added to their posts.
One day, a certain netizen from the Empire opened his personal terminal and just logged into his blog when he found a reminder from the system: @陸召 liked your comment!
He rubbed his eyes, and rubbed his eyes again. He
opened the reminder as if in a dream and went to look through the comments he had left.
He saw the content of his comment on Bai Li's blog, with a line of big words: [Fuck! Blue Mech is Bai Li? That Bai Li is fucking pretty handsome!!]
...Wow.
