Chapter 37： Ryan's little secret (1)

Ryan didn't pierce Auston's helplessness and shyness in the calm, he called him to eat with a natural look, it happened to be lunch, and the desk that served as a dining table was full of simple but delicious food. While Auston was taking a bath, Ryan rushed to the big kitchen and bought some lettuce, cucumbers, small tomatoes and purple cabbage, plus boiled chicken **** torn into strips. Drizzle with vinaigrette and sprinkle with ground black pepper for an appetizing and refreshing salad. If he hadn't been on good terms with John in the kitchen, he might not have been able to buy these things.

The Xingtian ship docked at B612 did not get much supplies. B612 is a remote, barren, and cold planet, and its own products are not rich. People living here eat several kinds of food in rotation, which is nothing new. The warships docked on each cruise will bring hope to everyone. All kinds of nutritional supplements that the soldiers think have strange tastes are highly sought after by the locals. Also clear the inventory.

The large kitchen of Xing Tianjian became very stingy without supplies. If Ryan was a VIP customer of the large kitchen, it would be difficult to buy ingredients from them. When Xing Tianjian left B612, there would be a supply ship on the way back. Can be replenished with fresh, large quantities of food.

612's specialty small fried fish and wolf-venomous beasts have been removed from the fat and the lean and tough meat has become the main dish in the kitchen recently. If the body of the two-horned snake is too unpalatable, in order to control the consumption of inventory, the mad chef might have Let all the soldiers on the ship eat roasted two-horned snakes, steamed two-horned snakes, braised two-horned snakes...the soldiers will cry when they eat them.

Auston pulled out his chair and sat at the table, a bowl of warm corn juice yam and walnut drink was delivered to his hand, followed by a multigrain rice mixed with rye, quinoa and rice. Lane, who was of Chinese descent, had the majority of his body. I prefer this kind of diet, with vegetables, rice, meat and vegetables, supplementing carbohydrates, nutrition, and satisfying appetite.

Auston said thank you, took a sip of the corn juice, yam and walnut drink, the warm taste was warm to the stomach, and the tiny granules of sugar in it would slowly melt on the tip of the tongue. He saw a pile of new books in the inner corner of the table. , all of which are required by the second-level mecha repairer. The top of the list is the second-level exam syllabus, a summary of knowledge points, and 10,000 items that must be learned.

"Have you started reading the content of the second-level exam?"

Ryan, who was cutting the steak, glanced at the pile of books. There was no way to buy new books in B612. These were bought from Captain Su Ming. The mecha repair department also favored the use of learning materials in this way, which is environmentally friendly and environmentally friendly. Savings can also promote communication and understanding within the team.

"I started to read it, I think it's very simple, that is, it is added on the basis of the first level..." Ryan can talk about hundreds of new knowledge points in one breath, but now it's lunch time between him and Auston, so I won't talk about it. . "There are still three months until the exam in August this year. When we return to the ground base after our cruise, we will be able to take it. Just before we go home, we can get a new qualification certificate."

A licensed driver can drive at a slow speed and can take the fast lane, and an unlicensed driver can only slow down if he has the heart of racing. Lane is the latter now. In today's social environment, he must obtain relevant qualification certificates to prove that he is a machine. A side of the talent, suffocated.

Auston was stunned. Time flies so fast, it's not too long before the next exam. Some were annoyed to find that he didn't care about Ryan as much as he thought.

As if knowing Auston's inner thoughts, Ryan said: "You have a lot of things to do, you are busy with work, don't worry about these little things, just wait and see my qualification certificate. We didn't celebrate the first anniversary of our marriage. Two anniversaries must be different."

When he first got married, Auston only regarded it as a means to accomplish his goal, and never thought that the development of marriage would be so beautiful. He nodded, having secretly remembered that special day in his heart.

"How's Sierra?" Ryan asked about this vulnerable opponent, who was too easy to beat, leaving him with no sense of accomplishment.

Auston said: "According to the regulations, he will be removed from all positions, and he will be in confinement for a month at the same time. He is an external employee, and the confinement place is his own room. While confinement, the contact between personal terminals and the outside world is restricted. "

After speaking, Auston frowned slightly. He had already shown Colonel William the small device that Sierra had installed on the code-named Zero Nerve Center. William said that the device had 24 layers of passwords, and if one layer failed to be broken, it would be destroyed. Code-named zero core.

Once this happens, this biological mecha that once dominated the battlefield will be destroyed.

Sera kept his hand from the very beginning, which made Auston unexpected and no surprise. This is the essence of Sera's perfect desire to control. His performance in the confrontation game obviously deviates from his reason and IQ. Quick success is almost crazy, and once people are crazy, they will be in all kinds of situations.

Ryan noticed the change in Auston's expression, and he asked, "What's wrong with telling me?"

"No." Auston said the situation of code zero, and then said: "Don't worry, I have asked William and Charles to find a way, and the result will be achieved when the cruise is over." The way to get him to remove the implanted device would even provoke him to immediately start the self-destruction program, and currently no one but him knows how to start it.

Ryan nodded slightly and took away the **** light in his eyes. Auston said it simply, but he thought deeply. Sera was holding the lifeblood of Auston's battle. Once the self-destruction program of the implanted device was activated, the consequences would be unimaginable... This This kind of person has a strong background, and he is very good, and he can save no matter how big a mistake he makes. Is he holding the life of an empire admiral in his hands because of his selfish desire to control or because of other reasons?

I can't kill Sera for the time being. It's nothing to be afraid of if he dies, but it's scary if the broken clues can't catch the hidden dangers behind.

Ryan hates this feeling of being shrouded in haze. He still needs to be strong, so strong that no one dares to shake it, and he is powerless to find that he needs to take his time for the research now. Is there a one-stop issuance of qualification certificates? !

It was his mistake to ask Serra's bad mood during dinner, and Ryan decided to make it up, so he changed the subject and asked Auston, "My ability is far better than that of the average mecha repair department fighters, and even the same as some soldiers in the combat department. Fight, why don't you ask me?" Quickly ask, quickly ask, I've been waiting for a long time, just waiting for you to ask me, but you never ask, I don't know how to say it!

Ryan looked at Auston, trying to use his eyes to convey his inner madness.

Auston couldn't help bending the corners of his mouth, "I know."

Ryan grimaced, and he said, "You don't know."

"You participated in Dawning during college, and I knew it from the first day I knew you." I just didn't expect Dawning to train him so well, far exceeding the evaluation of Dawning leaders, Auston pressed the heart Ponder.

Ryan didn't sell anything. He found that Auston's chopsticks were extended to the fish more often, so he changed the position of the plate. Dawning's special experience became a common gossip in his mouth. "When I was just a sophomore, I came into contact with Dawning occasionally. After chatting a few words, I found that it was good and joined in, and left after graduation, I still have the medal of dawn."

He reached out and took an iron pencil case from a pile of books, opened it and took out a round badge with a red phoenix pattern on it, which was the totem of dawn. Dawning is a semi-official organization. It is affiliated with the public security system. It specializes in hunting dangerous adventurers who are on the list. Killing them can get the corresponding bounty. The deposits in Lane's bank account not only come from the sponsorship of his parents, but also from his own. Work hard, the source of every fund in the account is traceable, and you are definitely a law-abiding citizen.

Dawning recruits new members for training every year. Ryan was chosen by the organization because of his outstanding performance in school but not eye-catching. He was recruited as one of them.

When he left, the captain who took him was quite reluctant. Haozi went to join the army like this. Who knew that Ryan was sent to the kitchen on the first day of joining the army. If Dawn's old friends knew about this, Da Ya would laugh out loud .

Ryan gave the badge representing past honors to Auston, "This is a little secret of mine, and I will tell you other little secrets later."

Auston took the badge and looked at the black bottom of his palm, with the red phoenix badge on it that wanted to fly. He no longer thinks about Ryan's violations, as Ryan said, he will know more of his secrets in the future.

Holding the Dawning Red Phoenix Medal tightly, Auston stood up to get his military jacket, and took off a golden cross armband from his sleeve, he wanted to give this armband that accompanied him for more than twenty years to Ryan, At the age of 20, the whole army won the competition, and my father personally put it on me."

The following year, the old general passed away, placing the heavy responsibility of the family and the legion on Auston's shoulders. This armband is of extraordinary significance to Auston.

Ryan took it lovingly, "Thank you." Thank you for giving it to me.

They got married in a hurry, and their goal together was practical and single. There was no mountain alliance and unswerving commitment, but through getting along, the feelings that emerged were delicate and intimate, and would last for a long time.

After lunch, Ryan is going to send the Leo relics brought from Moon Bay to Henna, who is looking forward to it day and night. This is not a good thing, but the next task has to be completed, and Henna has to learn to face it. Reality.

"Wait." Auston, who decided to go with Ryan, stopped Ryan when he was about to go out. "Bring some flowers for Henna."

He opened the planting cabin, but he was unable to start with scissors. He was good at chopping trees and wood to cut a **** path in the jungle. He had difficulty in how to separate a part of the moon roses, and how to do it without hurting the roots of the plants?

"I'm coming." Ryan put down his handbag, walked to Auston and squatted down. After taking the scissors, he said, "Part of it is divided, but it's not so big."

A large bush of moonlight roses was very beautiful, so dazzlingly red it was like a bunch of flames. Anything less, and the brightness of the flame will be diminished.

"As long as you keep the roots, you'll be able to grow more, that's the hope," Auston said. "Take a third and it won't damage her beauty."

Ryan nodded: "Okay." This is to send hope to Hina.

Auston watched Ryan's actions seriously, trying to absorb new knowledge. He secretly made a decision in his heart. When he retired, he and Ryan would return to Planting Star. The two would grow flowers and vegetables. They always had to learn some essentials for the future. Skill.

What Auston was at a loss for, Ryan took it at his fingertips. He dug up the newly planted Moonlight Rose, cleaned the roots, separated one-third of it, and kept the vigorous root system. After planting, it is easier to survive. Moonlight Rose is easy to care for. , Do not pick the place, the flower shape is beautiful, the color is gorgeous, and it is definitely the best ornamental flower when cultivated properly, and it is a very good economical flower. It's not that no one thinks of digging the whole plant for artificial cultivation, but no one has the ability to hang it into the abyss of Moon Bay to operate it with bare hands. To make money, you must first have a life that can make money.

Wrapping the roots of the Moonlight Rose with a few pieces of kitchen paper, Ryan walked out of the room holding the rose and Leo's belongings, followed by Auston who was empty-handed, not because Auston didn't want to take it, but because Ryan didn't give it. take. From Lane's dormitory to the time he walked out of the Xingtian Ship, he had to go through many places, and he would meet many people on the way, but the two who walked side by side had completely lost their previous scruples and walked together calmly.

Along the way, all the soldiers they encountered greeted enthusiastically. They would shout, "General, good day." They would also say, "Hello, Ryan."

Ryan is no longer the guy who came from the kitchen silently at the beginning of the cruise. He was the first member of the central team to enter Moon Bay. He was one of the protagonists who caused the whole prairie disturbance. Many high-strength warriors with many medals.

It has been said repeatedly that the army is a place to be strong. As long as it is strong enough, it doesn't matter where he came from or where he was born. What matters is his ability.

Ryan Smith, the tall and handsome mecha restorer.

It was no surprise to them to see Ryan standing with the general, because news came from the medical rescue team that the general followed the crowd.

People went deep into the Ice Grassland & Moon Bay, and they were with the Ryan team all the way. The good feelings are sure.

Ryan smiled and greeted those he knew and those he didn't know, and whispered in Auston's ear: "Those posts on the forum must have sunk." He was still very concerned that he was short and small.

Allston said softly, "Don't worry, it's been deleted."

"Nice job."

Auston smiled, "There will be no slander against you in the future." Ryan used his strength to prove himself.

Ryan smiled, "Yeah."

Walking out of the Xingtian Ship, the blue sky suddenly jumped to the front, the big clouds floated slowly, and there were a few big birds flying over with long feathers, making clear and Yue calls, just as I imagined. Walking in Xingmang Town, which is dominated by gray, white, ice blue, and passing the red and orange bar, there is a garland woven with colorful straw ropes hanging at the entrance of the bar. The town suddenly became more active.

The sweet smell came from the bakery next to the bar. The hard-working housewife's bread made from rough rye is the main staple food on this planet. It only costs five or three star coins, and the price is low enough for a family of three to eat for two days.

Butter, jam, and condensed milk are luxury goods in B612, but the deliciousness of the fermented fat of the wolf poison beast is not expensive. The rough bread slices with the fermented fat bring a rough and original flavor, which is rarely available to outsiders. Tolerable taste. A piece of fermented fat the size of a mahjong block can save a family of three for three meals.

The harsh nature did not drive out all the human beings living here, but at least provided rye with good yields and wolf poisonous beasts with a thick layer of fat.

There were many young men and women walking on the road, either holding hands or slung shoulders, wearing straw rope bracelets that were the same color as the garlands on their wrists that were exposed outside their sleeves.

Yuemang Town is celebrating festivals to celebrate the harvest and joy of the warm sun season. It is also a good time for young men and women to go hiking.

Lane's memory is very good, and he can still find the correct route after visiting the place after many days, but this time there is a pungent smell on the route, and the chimney of a small workshop is full of gray. Smoke, that's where the smell comes from.

There is no signboard in the shop, only a large wolf skin is propped open and placed at the door, so that people know that this is a shop selling wolf poisonous beast products.

The pungent smell is the unique smell of wolf poison beast fat when refining oil. If it is made of fermented fat, it will not be so smelly.

No wonder this street is so deserted.

Ryan and Auston walked forward as if fleeing, "The flower shop is quite far from here, the smell won't drift past, and we won't go this way when we go back next time."

"It's the first time I've walked in Starlight Town like this." Auston felt very new.

It should be said that since he was with Ryan, he has learned to live. There are more bouquets on his neat and concise desk, candies at hand, and cute pink desserts that he can often see. Life seems to become delicate and warm all of a sudden. . Now, he is actually shopping, without a strong purpose, it must be incredible to say it out.

Ryan's eyes were tender and compassionate. He looked at Auston, who had taken off his military uniform and put on his regular clothes, and proposed on a whim: "After sending something to Henna, we will take the airship to Yuemang Town, there. Production of leather, there are fresh sea fish and shrimp, the white moonlight under the night is dyed a touch of pink, you can lie on the beach and watch the stars in the sky. However, Moonlight Town is in the freezing season, and we can't do it without wearing combat uniforms. Staying out too long."

Ryan racked his brains, thinking about how to persuade Auston to temporarily take a break from his work for half a day. He heard Auston say without hesitation, "Okay."

"The introduction I saw said that Yuemang Town is more romantic than Xingmang Town... What did you say?" Ryan reacted with hindsight and asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"

"Okay, I said yes." Auston said, "Let's go to Yuemang Town, which is a small town on the edge of the sea cliff. In the night, the dark blue sea will be dyed red, and there will be light jellyfish floating to the surface. Purple Hawksbill turtles hatch during the freezing season."

Auston used his lackluster imagination to try to make the scenery as beautiful as possible, but found that his efforts were in vain. What he said was businesslike, just like the text description sent by the person in charge of B612, there was no aesthetic feeling.

"It's beautiful, then it's just the right time for us to go today." Ryan didn't dislike Auston's boring words. He had been completely captured by the anticipation and joy brought by Auston's eyes and brows.

The two were talking, and the long road was soon over. Not far away was the deserted flower shop at the end of the street. The dazzling, bright red moonlight roses in the window stopped at the most beautiful moment of life, and in Henna's meticulous care. It can stay beautiful for a long time with care.

Ryan pushed open the door, and the wind chime rang crisply, reminding the busy shopkeeper Hina that a customer was coming.

Henna, who was watering the soil hyacinth, raised her head, her face still filled with anxiety. These root **** are not cheap to buy from adventurers, but the hyacinths raised by her hands look bad. , only two or three leaves show the phenomenon of banana leaves.

Seeing the person coming, Haina widened her eyes, "It's you." She threw away the shower and ran a few steps forward, suddenly realizing that she was being embarrassed at the moment, and quickly wiped her hands with the apron in front of her. Messy hair tucked behind his ears. "Mr Smith."

"Hello, Henna." Ryan had a smile on his face, not too big, which made people feel at ease, "I'm sorry, I couldn't bring Leo out of Moon Bay, I brought these. Your lover Love you."

Ryan took out his handbag and opened it to reveal the diary, pen and bracelet with a meniscus-shaped amulet. The worded side of the amulet was engraved with Henna's name.

Henna's body trembled visibly. She wanted to bend the corners of her mouth to show a thankful smile, but found that there were heavy stones hanging around the corners of her mouth, pulling them down to the ground. There was a sudden emptiness in her heart, and the chilling wind of the freezing season blew in, freezing the blood all over her body. She wanted to cry and look at Ryan resentfully. Why didn't she bring Leo back, even if it was a corpse!

Blindfolded by tears, Hina tried several times to hold what Leo left behind. She stroked the leather cover of the diary, which she personally picked for Leo when they went to Yuemang Town. For thirty star coins, Leo said that he felt distressed and wanted to retire, but he couldn't put it down when he was holding the diary. Turning around, he bought her a necklace with the money he earned from his part-time job. He spent 60 yuan but he didn't feel bad at all. At that time, he said: My henna is so beautiful, like a fairy.

The words are still in my ears, but people will never see them again.

Henna, who was holding the diary, laughed, as if an invisible gentle palm took off the heavy stone hanging from the corner of her mouth, "Thank you, Mr. Smith, thank you for taking Leo home."

"No thanks." No amount of consolation was useless, and Ryan sighed silently and didn't say anything more. He and Auston looked at each other, picked up the Moonlight Rose and handed it to Henna, "Henna, this is what Leo wanted to pick and bring back, and now I'll give it to you, I will give the root of the Moonlight Rose. The must be brought together, as long as you take good care of them, they will grow a lot."

Hina was startled, bit her lower lip and took two steps back, she shook her head and said, "No, no, this is what you brought back by risk, I've never heard of anyone who can bring it back from Moon Bay alive. You must have spent a lot of time planting the moonlight roses, and I cannot occupy the fruits of your labor."

"I still have it there. I will plant the most beautiful flowers around the house in the future." Ryan sent the flowers forward, "To grow is hope. I wish you happiness in the future, which is also what Leo hopes. ."

Tears were silently drawn from her eyes, and Hina murmured, "Hope, hope..." She took the Moonlight Rose from Ryan's hand and sniffed the faint floral fragrance in the rose.

Jingle Bell-

The wind chimes, as if someone walked in, bringing a gust of breeze across Henna's cheeks.

Under the watchful eyes of Henna, Ryan and Auston walked out of the flower shop, about ten meters away, they heard footsteps behind them, it was Henna who came in a hurry.

Henna held two colorful straw rope bracelets in her hands, one handed to Ryan and the other to Auston. After they took it, she folded her hands and prayed sincerely, "I wish you happiness and long life. ."

Ryan and Allston said at the same time, "Thank you."

The grass used to weave the bracelet will only grow in the warm sunny season, and it is resilient. After drying, it will not be damaged by knife cutting and burning. It is the most common accessory among couples in Xingmang Town. It is called the rainbow rope, which symbolizes the beauty and longevity of love.

Hina watched Ryan and his lover go further and further away, unlike the last time she watched Ryan leave, this time she didn't stay too long, after watching for a while, she turned and left and walked into the flower shop. Now she has Leo, Hope too.

Auston and Lane walked side by side like ordinary young men and women walking on the street. They walked to the terminal building on the edge of the town. There were three flights a day to the seaside town of Yuemang, and they were just in time to catch the third one. three. Just take the first airship back tomorrow. A couple walked by holding hands, Ryan looked at their hands, and two rainbow ropes were hanging on their wrists, and they could touch each other from time to time as they walked. Ryan coughed lightly, and naturally moved his hand hanging by his side, grabbing Auston's hand without looking at it, "The terminal is here, let's go in and buy a ticket." By the way, he also found one for himself. The reason for holding hands in public, in order to travel faster, that's it.

Auston subconsciously broke free, but did not break free. He watched the hands of the two men and pursed his thin lips, letting it go.

There were quite a few people on the road, including locals from Xingmang Town, adventurers from all over the world, soldiers or their families in the garrison, and soldiers on the Xingtian Ship.

Among them, several of them saw the general and Ryan, and were about to come forward to say hello, but suddenly saw this scene.

"Am I blind?"

"you have not."

"Ahhh, why did I see Ryan and the general holding hands!!"

"I saw it too!!"

Someone asked hesitantly, "What is their relationship?"

After a while someone said, "Have you heard that the general is married."

"…"

"…"

"…"

Everyone said in unison, "Impossible!"

The well-informed one said, "There won't be any fakes. I have a buddy from the headquarters. He heard it from the mecha combat team. The news of the mecha combat team came from the mecha repair department."

The tortuous sources of news and the incredible content of the news made everyone's head hurt.

"Hehe, we must have drank too much. Go back to sleep. When you wake up, you will find that it was a dream."

"What should I do? I replied to Ryan's post on the forum, and I laughed at him that he must not have ten centimeters."

"...No wonder all those posts disappeared overnight. Nothing like this has ever happened before." Xing Tianjian is a place for freedom of speech. No matter how much he says, he won't delete the post, but he will be invited to the leadership for tea. .

"It's useless if it's too long below." Someone whispered.

"!!"

"!!"

Ryan doesn't care how much shock he has brought to others by holding hands. He has already bought a ticket. It's better to come early than to come by chance. After buying the ticket, it's time for the ticket check. Go up the gangway, enter the airship, and buy the first-class cabin in two places side by side, and the one by the window is for Auston.

Auston had seen the sky in many ways, but never through the narrow windows of a civilian airship, looking out with a touch of novelty.

The ten-seat first-class cabin was not full, and the flight attendant brought tea and snacks to the only three guests. The two gentlemen sitting at the end are so beautiful, the flight attendant thought so when they brought the water, glanced at the rainbow rope they were carrying, and sighed in disappointment, the handsome guy was with the handsome guy anyway.
