Chapter 63
the next day.
"This is the classic battle of the First Star Cluster, the Battle of Moran Sea. Who among you wants to come up and challenge it?" asked the tactics teacher.
Gu Tunan stood up. After he stood up, the cadets who were eager to try hesitated. After all, no one wanted to be the one being abused.
"Xie Ruheng, come here," the tactics teacher called out.
Gu Tuanan and Xie Ruheng stood in front of the simulated sandbox, Gu Tuanan holding an Empire chess piece and Xie Ruheng holding a Federation chess piece.
The Battle of Moranhae was a classic battle in the early days of the Confederation in which the Imperial Army repelled the Imperial Army. In this battle, although the Imperial Army was powerful, it was unfamiliar with the terrain and climate, and it underestimated the Confederation, which led to a great loss. The disadvantage of the Confederation Army was its weapons and equipment.
The Imperial Army, commanded by Gu Tunan, fought steadily and cautiously, while the Federal Army, led by Xie Ruheng, played risky chess and took unconventional actions. The two were evenly matched, but due to time constraints, the tactics teacher stopped them both.
"You two are both very good." The tactics teacher commented with satisfaction: "You two are good at attack and defense, and your styles complement each other. How about this, you two become study partners in the future, learn from each other, and promote each other."
Xie Ruheng: “…?”
Wait, this sentence seems particularly familiar?
Gu Tunan nodded coldly and said to Xie Ruheng, who seemed to be in a state of stillness, "We will finish this unfinished game later."
No, no, how come you just accepted the teacher's arrangement so naturally and thought about our future? !
The pupils in Feng's eyes trembled wildly, and Tang Baifa's words last night emerged in his mind:
"Gu Tunan appears to be indifferent and even disdainful of Xie Ruheng, but in fact, Gu Tunan cares about Xie Ruheng very much in his heart."
The gray-blue eyes stared at him lazily. Rather than greeting his future partner, Gu Tunan's indifferent expression seemed more like he was looking at an insignificant weed on the side of the road.
No matter how you look at it, this expression doesn't seem to indicate that she is really concerned about the place!!!
Stay calm and believe your eyes! Gu Tunan is just cold and disdainful towards you, don't be brainwashed by Tang Bai!
Seeing that Xie Ruheng didn't respond for a long time, Gu Tunan simply stopped waiting and walked straight to his seat with a cold look as if he didn't care about you, the troublemakers.
It was this arrogance that made Xie Ruheng feel friendly: Yes, that's right, he must have been infected by Tang Bai just now, which made him have the terrible illusion that Gu Tunan liked me.
Xie Ruheng wiped a drop of cold sweat from his forehead and returned to his seat.
This study partner is just a coincidence. Yes, it is a terrible coincidence!
"Let's analyze the test papers from yesterday's afternoon test. The students who scored full marks yesterday were Bai Li and Mo Zheng. These two students did very well..."
Tang Bai glanced over his test paper. He lost points in some specialized courses of the military academy. Those courses were written by the teachers of the military academy themselves and were not sold to the public. They were not within the scope of Tang Bai's self-study.
There is still more than a week before the professional course inspection. Tang Bai doesn't know if he can master the teaching materials in such a short time. He pinches his sore thighs with his hands and looks up to listen to Cheng Wenhui's class.
Cheng Wenhui stood on the podium and quoted from classics with ease, making a simple test paper analysis class fascinating.
Tang Bai listened with great interest. He didn't expect that Teacher Cheng, who looked weak and vulnerable yesterday, could be so charming on the podium.
Soon the class was over, and Cheng Wenhui stopped Tang Bai, "I looked at your test paper, and your lost points are all related to the school's exclusive textbooks. I can't help you with other classes, but I can usually give you some tutoring for this class. What do you think?"
Tang Bai nodded happily of course. He was worrying about how he was going to review. Cheng Wenhui was the person who wrote the textbook for this course. No one knew teaching better than him!
Tang Bai followed Cheng Wenhui to the office. Cheng Wenhui was a very responsible teacher. He helped Tang Bai mark the key points of the questions and explained the questions patiently and carefully. With the help of Cheng Wenhui, Tang Bai's learning efficiency soared.
A glass of water was placed in front of Tang Bai. "Tang Bai, do you plan to run for the presidency?" Cheng Wenhui pushed his glasses and asked gently.
Tang Bai raised his head from the sea of questions and admitted generously: "Yes."
Cheng Wenhui nodded and encouraged: "Although it is difficult to master these teaching materials in a short period of time, the teacher believes that with your intelligence and hard work, you will be able to make up for your shortcomings."
The novel in my mind said that the head of the mechanical department was Cheng Yangbin. Tang Bai heard that Cheng Yangbin and Cheng Wenhui were half-brothers, but Cheng Wenhui was a bastard and was not valued in the Cheng family.
The novel mentioned that Cheng Yangbin's two high scores when competing for the top spot were voting and professional course performance. Tang Bai could understand the high voting support rate. At that time in the novel's timeline, Cheng Yangbin happened to win the championship in the mecha manufacturing competition. His image as a mecha manufacturing genius was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and he was an idol of the mechanical department.
However, it is a bit strange that Cheng Yangbin’s professional course scores are almost perfect. Did Cheng Wenhui also help Cheng Yangbin with his studies in this way?
But the relationship between Cheng Yangbin and Cheng Wenhui doesn't seem to be good.
Could it be that the Cheng family put pressure on Cheng Wenhui to let Cheng Wenhui reveal the answer to Cheng Yangbin?
Tang Bai picked up the cup and took a few sips. "Teacher Cheng, do you want to try the excellent dishes of the Etiquette College's Culinary Department? My friends came to bring me lunch at noon today, but they made a lot, and I can't finish it all by myself."
Cheng Wenhui was stunned for a moment, his eyes fell on the table full of things, "Then I'll tidy up the desk, it will be just right to use as a dining table."
After Tang Bai ordered a lunch box for Cheng Wenhui, he sent a message to Xiao Cheng: "Are you done with class now?"
Career: "The class is almost over, what's going on?"
No romance, just career: "I want to bribe you."
Career: "?"
No romance, just career: "Use love lunch boxes to bribe our Commander Xiao to find a high-quality alpha in our department~ You are not allowed to go to the cafeteria at noon, you have to come to my place to get your lunch box!"
When Xie Ruheng saw that the location was the office of a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, his first reaction was to refuse. Although the Command Department was very mysterious in the Federal Military Academy and the list of the Command Department would not be made public, professors from each department had the right to check the internal list of students.
If he went to the office with a fake identity and the professor immediately recognized his identity...
Career: "I have a secret base at school. It's very quiet there. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Is this an invitation to a world of two?
Tang Bai was excited. Since Xiao Cheng was still in class, he planned to finish his lunch first and then go find Xiao Cheng to see the secret base that he mentioned.
After seeing Tang Bai's agreement, Xie Ruheng was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but then he received another message from Tang Bai on his WeChat account: "Brother Xie, I remember that you don't have classes in the third and fourth periods in the morning. Are you in the dormitory now? My classmates prepared a lot of summer dishes for lunch today..."
Xie Ruheng: “…”
Ten minutes later, Xie Ruheng sat in front of Tang Bai and started eating a sumptuous lunch.
Twenty minutes later, Xie Ruheng, who had eaten until he was eight-tenths full, said goodbye to Tang Bai, quickly took a shower and changed clothes to wash off the smell of lunch, then skillfully put on the human/skin mask, not forgetting to wear the mechanical button. After changing his clothes, Xie Ruheng hurried to the west gate of the Mechanical College to wait for Tang Bai.
Tang Bai, carrying a drawing board and a lunch box, happily met with Xie Ruheng.
Tang Bai knew that the training for military cadets was very intense, and that Alpha had an astonishing appetite, so he specially brought a very rich lunch this time. It was a bit tiring to carry the lunch box. "Look! I brought you a giant lunch box!"
His black eyes were dull for a moment, and Xie Ruheng looked at the huge lunch box. He forced a smile with great difficulty.
"You must be very hungry, right?" Tang Bai said, "You should eat more later~"
The alpha beside him didn't say anything. Tang Bai raised his head and saw the pair of dark eyes looking into the distance with a little melancholy.
Mystery, sadness, it is said that eyes are the windows to the soul. Tang Bai seems to be able to see the other person's untouchable inner world from Xiao Cheng's eyes. This is the killing look that only belongs to handsome guys with temperament.
Tang Bai thought a little shyly, his head full of pink bubbles.
But what Xie Ruheng was thinking at this moment was: No, I’m too full and want to burp.
The secret base discovered by Xie Ruheng was a secluded pavilion on the water, where one could sit and watch the fish swimming in the water.
"Wow, this koi is so beautiful, but it's a pity that I didn't bring any fish food." Tang Bai looked at the schools of carp swaying with a little regret, but when he thought that there was someone to feed right next to him, Tang Bai opened the lunch box with full motivation and prepared to feed them.
"This soup is really delicious. Have a sip. It has the effect of beautifying your skin~" "This seafood mango cup sounds like a dark dish, but it is delicious. Unfortunately, I am allergic to mangoes and cannot eat it. Come, you can eat more!" "And this dish is also..."
No, it’s too much. If you force yourself to eat it, you’ll probably burp!
Xie Ruheng's brain was working rapidly, trying to save his stomach.
"Since my mother passed away, no one has ever given me this warm feeling except you." Xie Ruheng said softly to Tang Bai who kept picking up food for him.
Tang Bai stopped picking up the food and looked at the alpha in front of him who was lost in his memories.
"She was very pretty, with almond-shaped eyes and long hair." He originally just wanted to change the subject, but when he talked about the person in his memory, Xie Ruheng suddenly opened up.
"The dishes she cooked were delicious because she used a lot of oil when cooking. She told me that she didn't like eating meat and asked me to eat more."
Xie Ruheng lowered his eyes and looked at the vegetables piled up by Tang Bai, and said softly: "She has many requirements for me. She asked me to study hard and work as a servant in a noble family in the future. In her eyes, this is a good future."
Tang Bai didn't know what to say, so he could only listen quietly while drawing on his drawing board.
"My father worked in an underground arena, so my mother always told me that the money in our family was earned by my father's hard-earned money, which was earned by my father in one fight after another."
"When I was very young, she would hold me in her arms and sit in the audience to watch the ring performances. She had a very loud voice and sometimes I felt that the whole place was filled with her cheers. When my father won and everyone was cheering, only my mother was crying for my father's injuries."
"At that time, our family had some savings, but she said she didn't want to have any more children. She wanted to keep all her love for me. Because she didn't have a good life at home when she was a child. She was an omega, and her family only wanted to exploit her and train another alpha child."
"She never went to school since she was little. She ate potatoes the most. Even rice was a luxury. She had to take care of all the housework. When she grew up, she was sent to work in the mines. Her family would make her hand over every penny of her wages, but they would not confiscate the beautiful little stones she picked up from the mines."
"The small stone in my lucky charm was picked up by her. It is silver and glows colorfully in the sun."
"In fact, she is a person with great artistic talent. If she could receive a good education when she was young, she might become a musician."
Xie Ruheng smiled, "But she probably didn't know what a musician was at that time. She had never listened to musicals or taken music lessons. She just liked to sing and could sing anytime and anywhere. My father said that the first time he saw my mother, she was carrying a vegetable basket and humming a song she made up, 'Tick-tick-tick', on a rainy day..."
“Then she got sick.”
Xie Ruheng suddenly fell silent. In the silence, he said softly, "She was very ill. We spent almost all of our family's savings, but it was still not enough. My father went to a higher level contest to raise money, but he died in the ring."
"After she learned of her father's death, her condition worsened and she died soon after."
"But I always feel that this shouldn't be the case."
"If possible, I hope she can sing happily in another world without discrimination and prejudice, and go to the school she wants to go to. Her biggest dream is not to be a servant in a noble family, but to be a musician, or to have another career related to the music she likes..."
Tang Bai showed Xie Ruheng the unfinished painting on the drawing board, "Is that so?"
The woman in the painting is sitting on the clouds and singing. She has very long, smooth black hair. Her hands are covering a silver stone that emits colorful luster, with her hands folded on her chest.
The sky was blue, and the sunlight that penetrated the clouds was bright and gentle. She must be singing a beautiful song, so beautiful that the birds were all surrounding her.
Xie Ruheng stared at the painting in a daze. He looked at it for a long time before saying, "This is better than anything I imagined."
I imagined that many little angels would vote for me in the Science and Technology to Rejuvenate the Country essay contest. However, imagination is beautiful and reality is cruel. Almost no little angels voted for me. QAQ Does everyone not know how to vote?
