On how to avoid being cannon fodder

There are currently three candidates - Executive Minister Luo Zhentao, Deputy Minister Theru and Intelligence Minister Sarina.

The voting was conducted within the parliament. Ji Wenyuan voted for Sarina, whom he knew well, but in the end it was Luo Zhentao, who had a relationship with him, who was elected.

Councilors themselves have no prescribed work, but are qualified to put forward their own suggestions and vote on some decisions at critical moments.Usually, the elderly members of parliament live at home for the elderly, and the young and strong members will take up other positions, either stationed abroad, or as the head of the executive department like Luo Zhentao.Therefore, Luo Zhentao officially became a councilor on the day the voting results came out.

The executive department held an inaugural dinner as usual for this purpose.The difference between this dinner and Ji Wenyuan's was not very big, that is, the people who came were of a higher level.

Ji Wenyuan still brought Luo Qiubai to attend.He originally planned to eat and drink with Luo Qiubai on the sidelines, but he didn't expect the Norman Emperor Gallon to come and talk to him in person.Although the emperor of the Norman Empire didn't have much real power, only one vote of veto once a year could be brought to the table, but he was the supreme ruler in name after all, and under normal circumstances, few people would make the emperor lose face.

Emperor Garen looked like a handsome middle-aged man with beautiful golden curly hair.He looked at Ji Wenyuan with a smile, and said kindly: "Ji Wenyuan, it's a pleasure to meet you. Last time Hayden came to your inauguration banquet, after returning, he often told me that he admired your demeanor very much. I've always wondered what it is This kind of person can make Hayden never forget, and I finally met him today, he is truly outstanding."

Ji Wenyuan said respectfully: "You are too much, the third prince is truly outstanding."

Emperor Garen laughed: "Ah, it sounds like you have a crush on Hayden too, how about you get along?"

Ji Wenyuan refused: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I already have someone I like."

Emperor Gallon sighed: "That's really a pity."

On the other side, Luo Qiubai was holding a plate to pick some favorite food for himself from the public plate.

"Do you like sweets?"

Luo Qiubai turned his head in doubt, and saw a handsome man with a face like a knife, full of masculinity, holding a glass of red wine behind him.

Luo Qiubai recognized this person, and he was Luo Zhentao, the protagonist of this banquet.He put down the food folder, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's actually okay, I like all delicious things."

Luo Zhentao saw his clear and bright eyes, his breathing stagnated, a smile appeared on his serious face, and his voice softened: "What's your name?"

Luo Qiubai squeezed the corner of his clothes nervously, and replied in a low voice, "My name is Luo Qiubai."

Luo Zhentao recited the name silently several times in his heart, and praised with a smile: "It's really a good name."

Luo Qiubai felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer, so he slightly lowered his head not to look at him.

Luo Zhentao said softly, "Why are you eating here alone?"

Luo Qiubai's drooping eyelashes trembled slightly, and his tone was a bit depressed: "My family was not invited to this banquet, and Wen Yuan went to talk with His Majesty the Emperor again. I don't know many people here, so I have to be alone Eat something."

When Luo Zhentao heard Ji Wenyuan's name, his pupils shrank.He quickly adjusted, without showing the slightest strange color, and said in a low and melodious voice like a cello: "Then you know me now?"

Luo Qiubai opened his eyes wide in surprise and confusion.

Luo Zhentao felt itchy when he watched him, and wanted to touch his eyelashes that were curly like a small brush.Luo Qiubai's eyes are too bright and clean, as if every smile has a fatal attraction, which makes people unable to extricate themselves.

He made a swallowing movement without a trace, and immediately spurned his behavior, cleared his throat and continued with a flat expression: "You can talk to me."

Luo Qiubai blinked and reacted.He laughed, and there seemed to be a hint of seductiveness in his slightly raised eyes, but it seemed that he was just smiling normally.His light brown eyes reflected the light of the chandelier in the hall, making him extremely charming: "You are such a good person."

After a pause, Luo Qiubai said jokingly again: "If I didn't already have Wenyuan, I think I would fall in love with you."

Luo Zhentao stopped breathing.

His lips moved and he was about to say something, when suddenly he heard someone calling him from behind: "Lao Luo, it's been a long time. What are you doing here, talking to the little beauty?"

Luo Zhentao felt a little flustered after being told the truth.He still maintained his composure on his face, turned his head expressionlessly, looked at the person and said: "Lieutenant General Xu, you are still so out of tune."

Lieutenant General Xu brushed his hair with a smile, and smoothed all the broken hair from his forehead to the back of his head with his hands.He put one hand in his pocket, glanced at Luo Qiubai, and said with a smile, "Success, you have a good eye. Lao Luo, have you decided to end your 180-year single dog career?"

Luo Zhentao glared at him, and said goodbye to Luo Qiubai, who was beside him, with the red wine in his hand, and immediately walked aside with his arms around Lieutenant General Xu's neck: "Don't talk nonsense, that's Ji Wenyuan's man, I can't take away people's place." Love. But you, an old bachelor in his 220s dare to speak of me."

Lieutenant General Xu smiled nonchalantly, and said foolishly, "What's the matter? There are too many people who want to marry me. I still want to spend another two years. I can't hang myself on a tree early."

Lieutenant General Xu is a rare high-level supernatural person in the military department, and his level of seven is already the highest in the military department.He is relatively uninformed in his daily life, and he is very flirtatious. He changes girlfriends every three days, but he just doesn't want to get married.

"Don't talk about that kid, drink and drink!" General Xu patted Luo Zhentao on the shoulder and laughed loudly, "I haven't seen you for more than a year. Let me see if your drinking capacity has declined."

……

The banquet soon came to an end.

Ji Wenyuan finally got away from the old and talkative Emperor Jialong, and looked around the hall, but he didn't see Luo Qiubai.He frowned, and quickly took steps to look around.

"Well... don't..." A vague voice came from the corner of the corridor not far away.

It's Luo Qiubai!

Ji Wenyuan's face darkened, and he suddenly quickened his pace and rushed over.When he turned a corner, he saw a tall man pressing Luo Qiubai against the wall, pinching his chin with one hand to force him to lift his head.The clothes of the two were disheveled, and they were kissing inseparably.

Ji Wenyuan felt inexplicably anxious, rushed up and grabbed the man's hair and pulled him off Luo Qiubai's body, and threw him against the opposite wall, making a muffled "bang".

"Are you okay?" Ji Wenyuan protected Luo Qiubai behind him, helped him tidy up his messy clothes, and then looked at the man.

Luo Qiubai's lips became a little red and swollen from the intense kiss, his skin was also a little red, his eyes were foggy, and he felt like he was about to cry.He raised his hand to touch his lips, hugged Ji Wenyuan's waist tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice after a while, "I'm fine."

At this time, the man had already stood up with his support against the wall. To Ji Wenyuan's surprise, it turned out to be Luo Zhentao, a newly promoted member of parliament.

"I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!" Ji Wenyuan looked angry, and raised his hand to beat him.

Luo Zhentao didn't hide, and was directly punched in the face by him, and when he flew out, he hit the wall again.Ji Wenyuan wanted to continue beating, but was stopped by Luo Qiubai.With tears in his eyes, Luo Qiubai said with tears in his eyes, "Forget it, Wen Yuan. Mr. Councilman, he was just drunk, he didn't mean it. We can't make trouble at other people's induction dinner, it's too rude."

Ji Wenyuan took a few deep breaths, stared at Luo Zhentao and said coldly: "Mr. Luo, should you explain this matter?"

Luo Zhentao pursed his lips, his face was still flushed with drunkenness, but he became more sober after being beaten.He was silent for a while, and apologized: "I'm sorry, I was confused for a while."

Ji Wenyuan showed a mocking smile: "Oh, can you just apologize for this kind of thing? You know the consequences of me being one step late. I am very suspicious of making you a member of the parliament now. Correctness."

Luo Zhentao knew he was wrong, so he was speechless.He lowered his head, not daring to look at the two people across from him, and said in a low voice, "I'm very sorry, I don't know what happened to me today, I will make it up." After he finished speaking, he hurried away with his head down.

Ji Wenyuan didn't stop him.

"Wen Yuan, let's go, I don't want to stay here anymore." Luo Qiubai pulled his cuffs, his voice low.

Ji Wenyuan's reaction was half a second slow, as if he just came back to his senses.He nodded expressionlessly, pulled the people out of the banquet venue.

He sent Luo Qiubai to the door very considerately, said goodbye warmly and went straight home.He leaned against the door with an unpredictable expression.

Luo Zhentao's sentence "I don't know what happened to me today" exploded in his mind like a thunderbolt, making him wake up suddenly.

That's right, "I don't know why".

He didn't know why he fell in love with a stranger he just met, and he didn't know why he became ignorant of his preferences...

He never forgot the feeling of—

That feeling of body and mind being split in two.

His body was like a machine programmed to respond to certain situations, but his soul watched calmly.It was as if everything was deceiving his senses, making him believe that he loved Luo Qiubai deeply.

"Luo Qiubai..." Ji Wenyuan whispered, with a cold look in his eyes.

Luo Zhentao was also the No. 180 in the same year who came out of the Advanced Supernatural Person Training Academy, and his willpower is undoubtedly very strong. For [-] years, it has never been heard that he was attracted to anyone.But how could Luo Qiubai make him lose control?Why would someone like him lose control?Is it really his fault?

Looking back, when he wanted to beat Luo Zhentao, Luo Qiubai actually stopped him.Can a "pure and innocent" boy think about "disrespect" so calmly at this time?

"Has it finally revealed its flaws..."
