Chapter 94:
As the pain came, the man floating in the nutrient solution had to grit his teeth. I don't know how long it took, Duan Hengye finally fell asleep groggy. The moment he closed his eyes, what he saw was still Meng Jinhuai standing quietly outside the nutrition cabin.
During this period of sleep, Heng was uncomfortable at night, because the pain in the body was constantly eroding his nerves, and he had nightmares after a few hours. The specific plot of the dream, Hengye, is now unclear--probably the scene of the previous life is constantly playing back in his mind, especially the moment when he was finally stabbed to death by a knife, and it was repeated several times. In addition to these, Duan Hengye felt that he had also seen the explosion more than ten years ago in a hazy time...
A small window on the side of the room gently opened a gap, and warm sunlight poured into the house through the window. This is a beam of orange-yellow light, which is especially warm when it falls on the off-white bed sheet.
It was the afternoon of the Southern Stars, and there was a gentle warm wind that fell into the house with the sun. Mixed with the special fragrance of some plants, everything seems extra gentle.
After having a big dream, Duan Hengye opened his eyes again and saw the light-colored ceiling, unexpectedly gave birth to a feeling of a world away. He didn't even know for a while whether his current position was the earth or the southern stars.
I don't know if it was because of just coming out of the nutrition cabin. Although Duan Hengye woke up, he still didn't have much strength. He moved his fingers slowly, and then felt discomfort and stiffness in the joints. However, Duan Hengye soon discovered that he was in a good state now. It seemed that except for the lack of strength on his body, the pain just now had completely disappeared.
Duan Hengye lay on the bed for a while with his eyes open. After feeling the gradual return of strength, he slowly sat up. At this moment, the wooden door of the bedroom was pushed open from the outside. Duan Hengye saw that Meng Jinhuai, dressed in gray home clothes, walked out from outside, and there was a robot behind him.
"I'm awake." After entering the door and seeing Duan Hengye, Meng Jinhuai smiled at him as usual, then walked to the bed and sat down. Although Duan Hengye knew that he had recovered now, after seeing Meng Jinhuai's expression as if nothing had happened, he was also stunned... Meng Jinhuai's performance was really calm, just like before. Ten hours is a dream of Duan Hengye himself.
But this sentiment did not last long. By nature, Duan Hengye didn't seem to like to be the focus of the crowd. On the contrary, excessive care will make him a little confused.
After Meng Jinhuai sat down by the bed, he slowly stretched out his hand to tidy Duan Hengye's messy hair on the pillow. Then he said: "Get up for breakfast, one day has passed." After saying that, Meng Jinhuai stood up, then reached out to Duan Hengye and gently pulled him up.
At this time, Duan Hengye's strength had gradually returned.
"Although the toxins have been cleaned out, it will take some time for the body to fully recover." Meng Jinhuai turned around and said to Duan Hengye earnestly, "This period of time happens to be a simulation experiment, and you stay on the Southern Stars. Take a good rest."
Although Meng Jinhuai's words are not very heavy, combined with his expression, Duan Hengye can read from his words a bit of a meaning that cannot be rejected.
However, what Master Marshal said was right. Now the experiment has reached the simulation stage, and Duan Hengye didn't have very important things to do during this period. Although still secretly planning to take advantage of this time, continue to learn to drive on the Southern Stars. But after hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye nodded at him seriously.
Duan Hengye stepped on slippers and walked to the bathroom. After he came out for a while, he saw Meng Jinhuai sitting on the sofa in the bedroom and looking at Guangnao. And beside Master Marshal, the white porcelain bowl was still radiating heat quietly.
Seeing Duan Hengye coming out, Meng Jinhuai looked away from Guangbra. After a while, the warm light beam in the house slowly moved to Meng Jinhuai's side. At this time, half of his body was hidden in the dark, and the other half was illuminated by the beam. The picture looks very beautiful, like an oil painting.
After coming over, Duan Hengye sat on the other side of the table and took out the spoon from the porcelain bowl. Although I didn't think there was anything just now, Duan Hengye finally felt hungry after he really smelled the aroma in the bowl.
Duan Hengye had been on an empty stomach for a long time because of the special medicine he was taking. He just injected some nutrient solutions before entering the laboratory. Although those nutrient solutions can ensure physical consumption, they cannot eliminate people's hunger.
Duan Hengye couldn't help but leaned over to smell it, and then gently picked up the spoon. I don't know if it was because of being hungry for a long time. After taking a sip, Duan Hengye felt that the soup tasted really good, and then he showed a surprised expression. After seeing his appearance, Meng Jinhuai, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help asking, "How is it?"
"It tastes good." Duan Hengye put down the things in his hands, and then said seriously. As a person who doesn't know how to praise, Duan Hengye has very simple language, but his expression is serious enough. So after hearing what he said, Meng Jinhuai leaned back in his chair with great satisfaction, and then said with some pride, "I did this."
Although it was not the first time to eat Meng Jinhuai's meal, Duan Hengye couldn't help showing a surprised expression after hearing what he said. Last time Meng Jinhuai's works tasted good, but they were all simple home cooking. This time is different. From the rich ingredients at the bottom of the bowl, you can see that this bowl of soup is very rich in ingredients. Duan Hengye has been in this world for some time after all, so he knows that these materials are not easy to handle, and it is difficult to do well.
Duan Heng guessed that Meng Jinhuai probably prepared for a long time...
Since waking up to see Meng Jinhuai, Duan Hengye's heartfelt touch has not disappeared. But now, after knowing that the other party had made the things he was holding, Duan Hengye even felt that even the bowl in his hand became heavy.
In fact, Duan Hengye could clearly feel that when he first entered this world, Meng Jinhuai was equally gentle and authentic, but that gentleness was obviously perfunctory and stylized. But now, Meng Jinhuai is no longer as deliberately intimacy as before, but the gentleness that is inadvertently revealed is more likely to be intoxicating.
Especially Duan Hengye knew that such Meng Jinhuai could only be seen by himself. In front of him, Meng Jinhuai was not a marshal of the Yetian Empire, nor was he an interstellar war god, but just an ordinary man.
Duan Hengye wrote all his thoughts on his face. He didn't notice that the corners of his mouth with a facial paralysis could not help but bring a little smile.
Meng Jinhuai also noticed this, probably because of the removal of toxins, and both of them were in a particularly good mood. Taking advantage of Duan Hengye's next breakfast time, Meng Jinhuai briefly told him the progress of the simulation experiment in the last dozen hours.
This morning, the time seemed to be extremely fast, as if without saying a few words, Meng Jinhuai received the news from the military and went back to the meeting. After Meng Jinhuai left, Duan Hengye suddenly felt a little lost.
Duan Hengye knew that he was a person who easily became too immersed after entering the research state, so he did not directly turn on the light brain to work as usual.
After thinking for a while, Duan Hengye changed his clothes, then walked out of the bedroom and wandered around in the marshal's mansion. As a top resident planet, the scenery of the Southern Stars is very good. He has known this little Heng Ye for a long time, but he has not had much time to watch it seriously.
Now taking advantage of this rare break time, Duan Hengye finally left and started to visit this place that he had lived for a long time, but he hadn't really understood.
At this time, the scope of the Hengye activities entered the working area of the Marshal's Mansion. This morning was the busiest time for work, and the corridors and outdoor gardens were quiet. If you don't say anything, I'm afraid no one will think this is the office area of the Southern Stars, but will regard it as a secluded park.
Not long after, Duan Hengye met an acquaintance here—Yu Xinlan.
In fact, Admiral Yu originally came here to work. She just finished a meeting and turned around and saw Duan Hengye in the corridor. Duan Hengye heard a footstep coming from his ear, and when he looked up, he saw Yu Xinlan walking quickly towards him in a white dress.
After seeing Duan Hengye, Yu Xinlan seemed very happy. She first looked at Duan Hengye from a distance, and then said, "My Lord Marshal said that you have recovered. I am still hesitant to come and see you. I didn't expect to meet you directly here now."
After speaking, Yu Xinlan "tsk" again, and then continued: "It seems that he is really recovering well, you don't know...How nervous the marshal was before." Although Yu Xinlan spoke a little fast Exaggerated, but Duan Hengye could see from her relieved expression that these words were not false.
It's just that when he woke up just now, Meng Jinhuai was very relaxed...
Seeing Duan Hengye's slightly confused expression. Yu Xinlan immediately understood what had happened. So Duan Hengye saw Yu Xinlan's eyes change, and then his tone of voice suddenly became serious and said to himself: "When you were in the nutrition cabin, the marshal had been guarding outside and didn't rest for a minute...Wait until the end of the experiment. After returning here, he also moved all his work over."
At this point, Yu Xinlan paused, as if thinking, and after a while she continued: "In short, I have known each other for so many years. This is the first time I have seen the Marshal put work first.
While listening to Xin Lan's words, Duan Hengye couldn't help but lowered his head and looked at the carpet on the soles of his feet. He didn't notice, at the same time Yu Xinlan had been silently observing herself.
Seeing that Duan Hengye didn't respond for a long time, Yu Xinlan finally patted Duan Hengye's shoulder gently again and exclaimed, "Master Marshal has really changed..."
Although recently, Yu Xinlan is often shown by the "undercurrent" between Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai. But after a long time, she discovered that comparing Dongfang and Wen them, the two actually had a feeling of being in love as a student. Although this feeling is equally good, it seems to Xinlan that it appeared to a couple who had been married for a long time, and it seemed a bit strange.
After thinking about it for a while, Yu Xinlan attributed it to Duan Hengye's "unopened".
After talking about the call, Yu Xinlan briefly chatted with Duan Hengye and left here-she had already felt Duan Hengye's absent-mindedness. However, Yu Xinlan's purpose was really achieved. Just after she turned and left, Duan Hengye first stood there for a while, then walked to the window on the side, and started to stunned.
...
Duan Hengye is a person who can't take time off, knowing that he is not suitable for continuing research. After the afternoon, he began to re-edit the textbook for mecha professional. This matter is extremely simple for Duan Hengye now, almost just integrating the content and data collection from the previous class.
Compared with the time when Duan Hengye entered this world, his understanding of teaching has gradually changed. Therefore, this book is also separated from the simple materials and results of the past, and it is really guiding and educational.
However, Duan Hengye had already sorted out the skeleton in most of the day.
After seeing the time, Duan Hengye stretched out slowly and sat up from the office chair. Although the combing is not over yet, it is now seven o'clock in the afternoon. Duan Hengye knew that he was in the recovery period and could not work a lot, so he ended today's task at a rare and early date.
It was also at this time that Duan Hengye's light brain received the news from Meng Jinhuai. Meng Jinhuai is reminding Duan Hengye to finish work, and now it's time for dinner.
After all, Meng Jinhuai was a marshal with busy official duties, and according to Yu Xinlan's statement, he probably also accumulated a lot of affairs this time. Today's dinner is not like the morning Master Marshal personally, but after walking into the restaurant, Duan Hengye was surprised by the extremely rich pile of dishes on the table.
Although the upper echelons of the Ye Tian Empire advocate luxury, the Marshal's Mansion has always been very low-key. The dinner here is rarely like today, full of a large table.
Seeing Duan Hengye coming over, Meng Jinhuai also got up from his chair and said to him: "This is made by someone invited from other places in the Southern Stars, hope and your taste." Obviously there are a lot of things on the table today. Everything is celebrating his "first recovery from a serious illness".
With the call from Yu Xinlan this morning, Duan Hengye's eyes looked at Meng Jinhuai a little complicated. But fortunately, Duan Hengye himself felt this. He lowered his head and sat on the stool, and then looked at the things placed in front of him seemingly casually.
Although not like the royal family and most nobles in the empire, they like luxury, but the Southern Star Marshal's Mansion also has a lot of exquisiteness. For example, every meal here will have a lot of dishes that are not used at all. Duan Hengye never cared about these before. But today, in order to cover up his emotions, Duan Hengye actually observed the past one by one.
Because today's dinner is more formal, in addition to the dishes before, there are four glasses of different sizes and full of liquids in front of Duan Hengye alone. After seeing these cups, Duan Hengye couldn't help being a little curious, and then picked them up one by one, placed them on the tip of his nose and sniffed gently.
... Although Duan Hengye rarely drinks any drinks, the contents of the three cups can still be smelled. It was only the fourth cup with a light red liquid. Duan Hengye couldn't tell what was inside after smelling it for a long time.
Unable to help, Duan Hengye took the cup a little further and looked at it. I saw that the cup in my hand was long and slender, very much like a champagne glass on earth. And the light red liquid contained in it, there will be small bubbles from time to time.
"What is this?" Duan Hengye couldn't help asking Meng Jinhuai.
Then Duan Hengye saw that Meng Jinhuai, who was sitting opposite him, also picked up the glass. After sniffing, Meng Jinhuai thought for a while and pronounced a name that Duan Hengye hadn't heard before. After saying that, Master Marshal couldn't help but frowned and said, "This is a very popular drink in StarCraft, but I don't seem to have prepared it today."
Although the drink was only a small thing that couldn't be smaller, after thinking about it, Meng Jinhuai took the Guangnao beside him and said after watching it for a while, "...This is from Yu Xinlan. "
Yu Xinlan delivers drinks? After hearing this, Duan Hengye couldn't help but stunned. This incident seemed a bit strange at first, but when it fell on Xin Lan, it seemed... unexpectedly reasonable.
Although Duan Hengye hadn't understood what Yu Xinlan was doing, but after hearing Meng Jinhuai's answer, he curiously picked up the cup again and took a sip.
Just like Meng Jinhuai just said, Duan Hengye was holding a popular drink in the interstellar. After drinking, Duan Hengye felt that the taste of this thing was indeed good. As a person who didn't have much interest in beverages, Duan Hengye couldn't help holding it up again after a sip.
The cup was not big at first, and it was seen after a few clicks. After discovering this point, the robot that had been standing in the corner of the restaurant suddenly moved. It came over with a dry rose-colored glass bottle, and then poured the liquid inside into Duan Hengye's cup.
After seeing this scene, Meng Jinhuai, who was sitting opposite, finally remembered one thing.
"By the way, Aheng, this drink is alcoholic." Meng Jinhuai reminded.
"Huh?" I really felt that the taste of the things in his hand had nothing to do with "wine". After hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye couldn't help but froze for a moment, then hesitated and said, "The toxins have been removed, there should be no problem, right? "
In fact, before, drinking or not will not affect Duan Hengye, let alone now. After hearing Duan Hengye's somewhat cautious tone, Meng Jinhuai smiled and shook his head and said: "Of course not, I just remind you." I have to admit that Yu Xinlan is indeed a person who studies food very well. Meng Jinhuai did not expect that Duan Hengye would like this alcoholic drink so much.
After hearing Meng Jinhuai's answer, Duan Hengye became more open. It didn't take long for him to drank all the drinks sent by Yu Xinlan. Seeing the empty food on the table, Meng Jinhuai couldn't help but feel helpless, but the smile on his face never left--Meng Jinhuai liked the "popular" Duan Hengye now. He is no longer the omnipotent Professor Duan, but an ordinary young man in his twenties.
It was only at this time that Duan Hengye himself later realized that...In fact, this thing that tasted no different from ordinary drinks also had alcohol content. It didn't take long for Duan Hengye to feel that the scenery in front of him began to dangle. Although it was not as serious as "eyes of Venus" or ghosting, but the remaining reason still told Duan Hengye—— It seemed that he had drunk too much. The dinner was over. The Marshal's robot began to clean up the things on the table. Meng Jinhuai also stood up. However, he found that Duan Hengye didn't even mean to get up, but suddenly sat there staring at the table silently. Seeing this scene, Meng Jinhuai couldn't help feeling a little funny.
"What's the matter?" After observing for a while, Meng Jinhuai couldn't help but ask.
Duan Hengye raised his head after hearing Meng Jinhuai's words. He pursed his mouth and was silent for a while, then finally frowned and said to Meng Jinhuai with a slight seriousness: "I feel... I seem to be drinking too much."
Duan Hengye had a little nasal voice when he spoke at this time, and he was very different from normal. With such a voice and a serious expression, the lethality increased exponentially... Seeing this, Meng Jinhuai walked over, then stretched out and pulled Duan Hengye up gently, "Then take a good rest." Say.
"Yeah." Although Duan Hengye was a little drunk, his walking was not affected. After gently standing up with strength, he stood there again, seeing Meng Jinhuai looking down.
The moment Meng Jinhuai lowered his head, he saw Duan Hengye lift his eyes and smile, and then a soft kiss fell on the corner of his mouth.
...
