Face Slapping the General

Chapter 31



Chapter 30 Farewell before the war

During Wu Qiao’s hospitalization, Ya Jiu would visit him every day, sometimes with a fruit basket on his iron arm. These were all bought in the military store, and all used were subsidies received during Wuqiao’s training.

When Ya Jiu asked Wu Qiao for money for the first time, Wu Qiao was still surprised. He didn’t understand why Ya Jiu had such a need. However, he was surprised when he saw the fruits and nutrients brought by Ya Jiu. It became moved and dumbfounded.

“Why can’t I receive subsidies?” Ya Jiu once complained like this.

“Uh,” Wu Qiao said, “Maybe you don’t think you have any consumer demand…?”

“It’s really too much.” Ya Jiu said again, “I started working for the military department since I was sensible.”

“……Ok.”

“Fight as soon as you open your eyes.”

“Yeah.” Wu Qiao naturally knew the situation at that time.

“Initially, I never felt that there was anything wrong.” Ya Jiu sighed, “Until that day, I learned a word while watching TV.”

“What’s the word?”

“child labor.”

Wu Qiao: “…”

Sure enough, Ya Jiu still felt that he was a human… and thought that he should spend a happy childhood carefree and without doing anything, so he brooded about the matter of fighting as soon as he opened his eyes.

Over there, Ya Jiu sighed again: “When I heard the word’child labor’, my heart was really shocked——”

“Yeah.” Wu Qiao also hates this kind of thing very much. “The Empire strictly prohibits the employment of child labor.”

“At the time, my heart repeated: What? Child labor still has money to get? Then why didn’t I?”

There was envy in the words.

“…” Wu Qiao explained with difficulty, “Well, Ya Jiu, you are not a child laborer, let alone a child laborer without money…”

“…?”

“Forget it.” Wu Qiao gave up again and explained to Ya Jiu that it was not a human being, “Just keep using my subsidy.”

“…?”

“Um… I heard that your subsidy is also on my card.” Wu Qiao couldn’t bear to see Ya Jiu depressed.

“Is that so?” Ya Jiu opened his sparkling eyes, “That’s right!!!”

Wu Qiao knew that although Ya Jiu asked for money, he bought almost everything for himself. Only then two or three times, he saw several orders for the Deluxe Collector’s Edition of Dog Blood TV series on the bill.

Before Tan Yan officially set off for the expedition, he took another look at Wu Qiao and brought a few things that the other party liked to eat.

At that time, Wu Qiao was keeping a diary, recording the bits and pieces along the way, which he used to read frequently after he changed the world. He still has injuries, mainly the shoulder injuries left by the wings of the dragon, and the back injuries caused by the violent blow of the mangosteen beasts. In fact, he can’t do other things.

Wu Qiao looked at a small box that Tan Yan had brought: “What is this?”

“Red bean cake.”

“……what?”

“Red bean cake.” Tan Yan said, “It can be stored for a long time, just take it slowly.”

“Red beans…” Wu Qiao repeated, and asked casually, “Where did you buy it?”

“Ok?”

“Where did you buy it?”

Tan Yan was silent for a few seconds and said, “The shop where Amandine bought scallops last time.”

It’s actually his own kitchen–

Wu Qiao discovered that when the general said this, his gaze swept to the right quickly. This is a typical manifestation of a person lying, but the other party… has no reason to lie. Probably, true and false, false and true, are the characteristics of good leaders.

Tan Yan explained: “I originally planned to wait for you to celebrate after you healed, but now it seems impossible, so buy something and treat it as a celebration.”

Wu Qiao lowered his head, feeling a little hot in his heart: “Really…thank you so much.”

“It’s also for you to practice at the same time, I can’t send you off.”

Wu Qiao shook his head: “No, I just go by myself.”

In fact, he plans to go home first, and report directly to the designated assembly location from home. I haven’t been home for a year, and my parents and sisters miss him very much.

“Wu Qiao,” Tan Yan said again over there, “Be careful with everything from now on, I hope you can go well.”

“Yeah.” Wu Qiao nodded, “I also wish you a smooth defeat of your opponent and a victorious return.”

“I will.” Tan Yan looked at Wu Qiao, with a lot of things Wu Qiao could not understand, “As long as… you pay attention to yourself and don’t let me worry about you, I will definitely not be defeated.”

“I…” Wu Qiao opened his mouth several times, trying to say something, but in the end he was speechless. A trace of doubt floated in his heart, but he didn’t dare to ask anything. He was afraid that when he asked, some things would fall apart.

Tan Yan smiled again: “Similarly, I will continue to win, so that you can hear good news, and it won’t affect your mood… although maybe you don’t care.”

“No…” Wu Qiao lowered his head and said quietly, “I will always pray for you.”

Then, he heard Tan Yan laugh.

“Okay.” Tan Yan glanced at Wu Qiao again, “I can’t stay long, and it’s time to go now.”

“Okay.” Wu Qiao stood up and followed Tan Yan to the door. In fact, he was also a little bit reluctant-Tan Yan was really nice to him.

“Wu Qiao, you…”

“Ok?”

“You… take care.” Tan Yan asked him again, “Next time I see you again, you must be intact.”

“Will do.”

“Then…bye.”

In fact, Tan Yan is really worried. Last time he rescued Wu Qiao at the critical moment, so next time? Next time?

He was really a little scared. On a cloudy or sunny day, on an ordinary day that was not different from the past, his subordinates walked hesitantly, their eyes dodged with sadness, and then used a soft voice and tact His words brought him the worst news he would not want to hear. Since then, that ordinary day has become a nightmare that he can never wake up.

Tan Yan walked towards the door.

He is going to war, and so is he.

As a soldier, after leaving today, we will fight on each side for years from now on. He didn’t know when he could return, when he would set off again, let alone where Wu Qiao would be sent and what he would experience.

Tan Yan was totally unable to predict when the two would meet again, and under what circumstances would they meet again. Maybe in the future, every time he hurried back, he would have set off again; and when he came back, he was still far away… just like that, passing by again and again, relying on longing for years. Similarly, next time we chat face-to-face like this, the state of the two people is completely dare not to have any expectations. Maybe someone has touched the door of hell, maybe someone is seriously injured and hard to heal, maybe someone has seen it. The dirtiest side of war, perhaps some people’s eyes are no longer the way they are today. As for the worst result… Tan Yan didn’t want to think about it.

In the past, Tan Yan thought that love always existed under the blue sky and white clouds, in the clear waters, lakes and pavilions, among the fields, mountains and flowers. Dust, the tip of the nose always smells the gunpowder smoke, the ears always hear the roar of the engine, and the skin always touches the forcing heat wave.

He didn’t dare to look back.

He was afraid that he had finally made up his mind to leave. When he turned around, he would be reluctant to give up, and then went out with a lack of firmness.

not like this.

He still has heavy things on his shoulders-his country, his fleet, he can’t afford it if he isn’t very determined.

However, the moment he walked out, Tan Yan finally did not hold back.

He suddenly turned around and said to Wu Qiao with extreme restraint: “Almost forgot… there should be a parting hug.”

“……Ok?”

Tan Yan’s eyes are dark: “I wish you good luck in the future.”

“…Oh.” Wu Qiao nodded foolishly. It is indeed normal to hug each other and wish each other good luck.

After only uttering a single tone, Wu Qiao felt that he was hugged into a very strong embrace.

“…Admiral?”

Tan Yan did not speak, but tightened his arms.

Wu Qiao was hugged by the opponent in a daze, without any movement.

“Hey…” After a while, Wu Qiao heard Tan Yan say in a hoarse voice: “Hold me.”

“…”

Wu Qiao stretched out his hand to embrace the opponent, with his cheek buried in Tan Yan’s military uniform, his nose rubbed against the badge on the opponent’s collar, and he smelled a faint smell of rust, mixed with some clean breath of Tan Yan’s body.

Wu Qiao felt that Tan Yan was a little different from the past. According to Tan Yan’s personality, the sentence just now should be: “Are you out of your hands? Come and hold me.”

Is he okay… Wu Qiao thought, his hands couldn’t help but harder.

After hugging for a few seconds, Wu Qiao suddenly heard a voice: “…Huh?!”

Turning around, it was Ya Jiu.

A look of surprise appeared on Ya Jiu’s face.

“…It’s just a hug at parting.” Wu Qiao felt a little embarrassed when he was bumped into by Ya Jiu.

“Oh…” Ya Jiu stared at Tan Yan, ready to protect Wu Qiao at any time.

Tan Yan sighed.

This Ya Jiu will be with Wu Qiao every day from now on, but he still has to interrupt himself at this time.

But… also good.

He should go now.

Tan Yan glanced at Wu Qiao one last time, turned around, and walked away along the corridor. This time, he never looked back.
