The major general's trumpet is my white moonlight [Interstellar]

[3 manufacturing encounters]

After returning to the apartment, Ye Li subconsciously wanted to take off his tuxedo coat, and only then remembered that he had thrown the coat to Lin An before leaving.

The clothes on his body were mixed with the smell of alcohol at the venue. Ye Li was a bit of a clean freak by nature, so he took off his vest and shirt when he came back, threw them on the chair, took clean clothes and walked to the bathroom.

As the warm water washed over his body, he suddenly noticed a shallow finger mark on his arm, and suddenly remembered that it seemed to be what Lin An had left on him two years ago. Among the scars, this small finger mark is so inconspicuous, but it is different from the injury, it was left because of protecting him.

On that day, a bullet knocked down the gun he used to commit suicide, and then he hugged him and left through the broken window. The broken glass scratched and hugged his body, but the man always held him tightly in his arms , Even the fingertips were deeply embedded in his flesh.

After returning to the capital star from the empire two years ago, Ye Li moved to the apartment in the seventh star area, and not long after, he was sent to the unbounded area to perform missions.

Two years is not a very long time, and he gradually got used to living alone and without that person.When everything returned to calm, his life naturally became like most federal officers, in danger, and he knew that was the responsibility that federal soldiers should bear.The experience of purgatory in the empire made him no longer feel afraid no matter what kind of danger he faced later.

Ainuo always said that he was not suitable to join the army, maybe what he said was right, it has been more rough and difficult for him to get to where he is today than many people.

Two years ago, Ainuo finally went to the Empire to bring him back to the Federation, while Lin An returned to the Academy to continue his studies after following the Flame Legion for two years.The man's name had already faded away from his life together with his former chief. If it wasn't for the encounter tonight, he might have gradually forgotten him.

He happened to be invited by the academy to perform at a dance after returning from a mission in the Unbounded Zone. The unexpected encounter with Lin An did not leave a deep impression on him, but it just reminded him of some past events about Ainuo.

After taking a shower, Ye Li came out of the bathroom wiping his wet hair, accidentally caught a glimpse of the latest news flashing on the communication terminal, picked it up and took a look.

"Thank you for the clothes, it smells so good."

A message from a stranger, no need to guess who it is.But how did he get his contact information?

The words were a bit ambiguous, if he didn't know Lin An well enough, Ye Li might think that someone was harassing him.

Is it fragrant?

Ye Li smiled, put the communication terminal back, but didn't reply, but picked up the vest thrown on the chair, sniffed it lightly, feeling a little dazed.Besides the smell of wine, is there any other smell?Could it be that the sentinel's sense of smell is more sensitive, and he smelled something that the guide couldn't smell?

It was rare for Ye Li to sleep soundly that night, even though it started to rain outside in the middle of the night, and the patter of light rain wet his dream, he felt the tranquility he had never had before.

It's been a long time since I slept so unrestrainedly. I didn't expect to wake up at noon, and I almost missed the meeting time with Ye Lan.

"Bai Lan Bar" is a high-end bar specially provided by Capital Star for military officers. Ye Li has not been here for many years. After entering, he found that Ye Lan arrived on time alone. Lin Yue, who had previously agreed not to be late But there was no one there.

"Where's Lin Yue?" Ye Li asked after looking around.

"Uh..." Ye Lan leaned against the bar, rarely ambiguous, "It seems...something happened, he will be late."

"Fortunately." Ye Li heaved a sigh of relief, his first reaction was not that "Lin Yue was late too", but that he was spared a catastrophe, after all Lin Yue's temper was unbearable even to him.

"Wait until he gets better." Ye Lan pushed the ordered wine in front of him, but didn't order for himself. When Duan Jing was not around, he didn't drink at all. Know a thing or two.

The rum Ye Lan ordered for him was not high in alcohol, exuded a faint fruity aroma, and the taste was quite soft.In fact, Ye Lan didn't know how much Ye Li could drink, even Ye Li's liking for rum was heard from others.

The atmosphere of the bar is intoxicating, the liquid in the glass shakes and catches the eyes, half of which reflects the soft light, and half of which turns into the most blazing fireworks.

Ye Li listened silently to Ye Lan talking to him about what had happened in the past two years, and found that he no longer had the feeling he had heard about Ainuo now.

Everything is over.Whether it is the past events he had with Ainuo, or the involuntary entanglement with Lancelot later, it has completely passed.

"By the way... is he really your boyfriend?" Ye Lan asked suddenly.

"Him?" Ye Li didn't realize who he was talking about for a moment.

"Didn't a group of fourth-year college students come here last night? The one with a good figure," Ye Lan thought for a while, and added, "I remember that he was the one... Two years ago in Capital Star, he called himself your boyfriend. the one."

Ye Lan already knew that they were acting two years ago, but when he saw the scene of the two communicating last night, he became suspicious again.

"Huh?" Realizing that the person he was talking about was Lin An, Ye Li's blurred eyes seemed to clear up a little.

"He seems to care about you very much. He asked Lin Yue about you a lot last night." Ye Lan was carefully considering his words while observing Ye Li's reaction.

God knows how Ye Lan distorted the facts so calmly.Even if he knew this from Lin Yue's description, he could feel how much that man cared about his younger brother.

This is sexual harassment!Intuition told Ye Lan this way, but when Ye Lan thought that it was a child brought up by Lin Yue... Don't think about it, there is absolutely no morals and lower limits!

"We have carried out missions together before." Ye Li took a sip of his wine and replied lightly, without trying to hide anything.

"Really..." Ye Lan looked at him thoughtfully, wondering what she was thinking.

The atmosphere cooled down, and after a long time, Ye Li took the initiative to speak: "What did he ask?"

"You want to know?" Ye Lan's heart trembled, but she quickly doubted herself, was she too sensitive?

"I don't really think about it," Ye Li's reaction was unexpectedly calm, "Excessive curiosity is not a good thing. It won't hurt me anyway, and there is no need to know anything else."

Although Ye Li didn't show that much concern, Ye Lan still told him what he heard from Lin Yue last night: "He asked me... When did you come back, why did you play the piano here, and what happened in the past two years? Were you injured during the mission..."

"..." Ye Li remained silent and didn't speak, drinking alone, there seemed to be dark tides in his deep eyes.

"And—" Ye Lan paused, looked at him and said, "Have you combined?"

Ye Li's movements froze, but Ye Lan keenly caught him.

I don't know if it's the effect of alcohol, but a certain wound on my shoulder seems to be starting to hurt again.

Ye Li drank the wine in the glass suddenly as if he was self-harming himself, he only felt that the darkness in the bar was going to swallow him up.

Have you really forgotten him?The wound on the shoulder was cast by Aino himself, and he never let it really heal.Whenever the wound grows new flesh, he will re-cut the wound, let the gurgling blood always remind himself how this man treated him back then.

The last time we met, my gun touched the chest of the man I loved deeply, but my fingers couldn't stop shaking, and there was no movement for a long time.After all, he couldn’t make a move, he knew, he already knew, maybe when he gave up and escaped with Lin An, he had already anticipated this result, and he didn’t want to, dare not face it, afraid of realizing that every end of himself would be a mistake. Yu is willing, so he no longer has the right to resent him.

At that moment, death, without the stubbornness of the past, is just revenge for this person.

It is hesitation and repeated concessions.

The federal army swept away the intruders in the borderless zone in a stormy manner. The enemy retreated in a panic, and the artillery fire almost brushed against him and exploded beside him.

The moment he saw Ainuo, Ye Li felt that his heart was shaken, and a weak emotion climbed into his heart, and even a voice tried to convince himself over and over again that everything in the past was really just a last resort.

"I will not pursue Ke Lei's death and your deliberate lie about the military situation. After returning to the military headquarters, you will not be punished in any way."

"Should I thank you?" Ye Li raised his head with a wry smile, looking at each other, his eyes were full of affectionate mockery of himself for many years.

"Over the years, I have been ashamed of you." Ainuo sighed, reaching out to grab his shoulders, with countless emotions hidden in his eyes, all of which were telling him: I am not unfeeling to you, otherwise, Why did I come to you this time?

Ye Li clenched his teeth, the injury on his shoulder started to hurt again, forcing him to take a step back, even though all these years, how much he longed for such a hug from this man.

"Then, do you know how much I hate you?" Ye Li sneered, lifted the clothes off his shoulders, and there were countless piles of hideous scars from the same wound.

"Ainuo, during the five years I was with Lancelot, I really thought about betraying the Federation and you." Seeing the rare loneliness in his eyes, Ye Li felt extremely ironic. Dripping blood like a shoulder wound, he has always been cruel, especially to himself.

The ugly scar on the shoulder is shocking, it is the pain of day and night, it is his punishment for himself, and it is also a reminder.As long as the hatred can not be extinguished, it is not too much to hurt yourself.

"It turns out that you really hate me so much..." Ainuo murmured in a low voice, and the lowered voice was like a sigh with a thousand twists and turns.The brilliant first encounter at the military recital, the four years of anticipation and waiting at the Military Academy, the promise he made when he was brought into the Flame Legion, and the resolute sacrifice later, all faded away in this sigh like sand missing from the fingertips up.

For a while, even Ainuo was a little sad.

Yeah, shouldn't you hate it?

Over the years, he has gone deep into the most dangerous caves alone, with the cruelest demons, and performed every task he assigned like a cold machine that is not afraid of damage.

But he kept watching.It was unbelief, misunderstanding, blame, and it was he who cut off this feeling with his own hands.

"We..." Ainuo only said two words, and realized that it was meaningless to say anything now, Ye Li would not be with him, maybe never again in this life.

"Then what do you think I should do?" Ainuo asked with a wry smile, and there was a touch of deep sadness on his usually resolute and ruthless face.

One sentence asked Ye Lili to the bottom, leaving him speechless.

How to do?

Should I be more cruel to myself, or be kinder to myself?

The backlog of emotions is like a scourge, almost breaking through the valve in my heart.

Then let it swallow itself up.

Ye Li turned around, trying to trouble the guy at the bar to refill his drink, but before he could make a sound, a hand went around his body and snatched his glass away.

"Drinking too much alcohol hurts your body."

【4 concern】

The man's voice was very pure, and because of the obviously gentle tone, Ye Li felt that he cared about him.

Ye Li raised his eyes and met Lin An's charming peach blossom eyes. The corners of his eyes were slightly raised, as if he was smiling. The seriousness in his eyes even moved Ye Lan by the side.

After confronting like this for three seconds, Ye Li was really convinced by him and didn't ask for the wine glass back.

Ye Lan frowned, and looked at Lin Yue subconsciously, but received a suspicious look from the other party, and couldn't help wondering if she was too sensitive.Helping her nephew hook up with his younger brother, Lin Yue shouldn't be able to do it, right?

In fact, Ye Lan still has too much confidence in Lin Yue's integrity, of course, this is something for later.

"I'm late..." Ye Lan glanced at the clock on the wall, "Half an hour."

Lin Yue didn't feel ashamed at all, instead she turned her attention to Lin An.

"My fault." Lin An took the pot away consciously, and looked at Ye Li again, but Ye Li seemed unaware of his eyes.

"Bring my nephew over to play, don't you mind?" Lin Yue asked pretendingly.

"I don't mind." Ye Lan is not an imposing person, and he has no grievances with the other party, so he can't say "mind", right?

"Colonel Ye, what do you drink?" Lin An spoke very politely to Ye Lan. Even though Ye Lan had retired, Lin An still called him by his former military rank, "As an apology, I'm treating you today."

Lin An's polite and gentlemanly behavior made Ye Lan feel a little guilty about her speculation just now, so after deep confession, Ye Lan decided to give him a chance to establish a good image: "The most expensive one is fine. Also, I don't drink alcohol .”

"Inhumane." Lin Yue scoffed at Ye Lan's blackmail.

In addition to wine, Bailan Bar also has some weird drinks. The most expensive one is [-] star coins, which is nearly twice as expensive as the Aventure Bar opened by Lu Chen and Dill in the seventh star district.Lin An paid the money without even looking at it, and Ye Lan couldn't help but sigh that the rich second generation is arrogance.

"What about you?" Lin An turned his head and asked Ye Li again, his eyes obviously showed a little more concern, as if he was looking at something that he cherished.

Ye Lan's eyebrows twitched.

Ye Li wanted to say no, but Lin An's concern made him unable to say no. He slid his finger on the screen twice to complete the order.

"Where's mine?" Seeing Lin An forgetting about herself, Lin Yue was a little confused.What does it mean to have no conscience?What is "seeing color and forgetting one's righteousness"?That's it.

"You didn't." Sensing the slightest chill in Lin Yue's gaze, Lin An immediately explained for his boldness, "Marshal Gu said that you can't drink anything here."

Ye Li couldn't help laughing, his lips curled up in a nice curve, and his cold and arrogant face softened a lot.He leaned lazily by the bar, nodded slightly to the little brother who handed him the drink, took the cup with his slender white fingers, pursed his thin lips lightly, and took a sip of the red liquid in the cup, every movement was extremely elegant.

He is like a violet blooming silently in the dark night, exuding a mysterious fragrance, and has a fatal attraction to Lin An.

"Thank you." Ye Li suddenly thanked Lin An softly, sincerely, as if he was not the only one thanking him for the drink.

Lin Yue's face darkened: "Ye Lan, I'll just sell Lin An to your Ye family."

Ye Lan calmly refused: "I won't raise him."

Lin An's spine felt a little chilled.

All eyes were on Ye Li.

Ye Li avoided Lin An's sight, looked at Ye Lan, then at Lin Yue, and found a reason helplessly: "I have no money."

Lin An: "..."

"It's a deal, it's a free sticker for you!" Lin Yue patted the table, "I can take it away today!"

Ye Lan said indifferently: "You are dreaming!"

On the way, Ye Lan left early because of something, and before leaving, she specially warned Lin Yue to take care of Ye Li, but Lin Yue immediately put the matter behind her, and after receiving Gu Baimo's communication, she sent Ye Li home The important task was handed over to Lin An.

All the acquaintance between the two was established during the days of the empire. Now one returns to the academy to continue the unfinished courses, and the other is separated from the Flame Legion to perform tasks alone. In fact, there is no intersection in private life, so naturally there is nothing to talk about that's it.

Seeing Ye Li was about to leave, Lin An took a step forward: "I'll see you off."

"No need..." Ye Li instinctively wanted to refuse, but was quickly interrupted by Lin An.

"I heard that you were injured when you came back from the mission, and you were injured by drinking, not to mention I will..." Lin An was so close to him that even he himself felt that it was too ambiguous.

These words were spoken like whispers between lovers, and Ye Lili trembled when he heard them.

Ye Li suddenly remembered that this was the first man who shed tears for him, and also the first man who was willing to bear the punishment for him.

He felt that he was drunk, the luxury and wealth in front of him was so unreal, the alcohol burned his stomach, and the wound on his shoulder that had healed for two years no longer felt pain.

Ye Li was silent, and Lin An didn't speak either. He could sense that Ye Li had countless thoughts hidden in his heart. The two of them were silent at the same time, as if they had returned to the time when he was in charge of monitoring him.

After a long time, Ye Li asked him: "Lin An, how old are you?"

"Twenty...one." She said she was 21, but she was actually a year old.

But Ye Li didn't say anything, as if the question just now was just an unintentional talk.

21 years old... What was I doing when I was 21 years old?

It was the age when he first met Aino, it was the rum he liked because of Aino, it was because of Aino that he wanted to join his army...

Ye Li closed his eyes, he would rather let the alcohol numb his nerves than remember.

During that time in the empire, in order to allow him to carry the "L-11-induced virus" to infect the maintenance staff of the Ghost, Aino forcibly injected him with a drug that opened the gap in mental immunity, even though he had been very ill for the past two years. Cooperate with the treatment and follow the doctor's advice to rarely touch alcohol, but the damage has already been done, so it is not easy to recover?

Maybe it's time for me to consider retiring.

"Then I'll trouble you." Ye Li sighed softly. He never could bear to refuse Lin An's kindness.The thoughts revealed by those charming peach blossom eyes are so pure that Ye Li can see through his thoughts at a glance.

After sending it to Ye Li's apartment, Lin An didn't intend to leave, and followed him to the door. If Ye Li hadn't turned around and looked at him, he would have wanted to go in and sit down.

"I'm going in." The moment the door closed slowly, the boundary between light and shadow gradually became clear. The overflowing darkness in the room blocked the sunlight from the door. Ye Li felt a hand pressing against the other side of the door, with strength. It was very light, but it touched his heart at the same time, making the hand that closed the door lose its strength.

This scene seemed familiar, like the farewell two years ago, the young man pressed his hand against the door of the cockpit, but he didn't want that side to be the farewell.

Through that narrow slit, Ye Li saw Lin An smiling flamboyantly and casually at him, his slightly long hair was blown up by the breeze, his figure melted into the sunlight outside the door, and his outline was outlined with a layer of pale golden light .

Lin An opened his mouth, and the smile in his eyes deepened: "Pay attention to rest."

Originally it was just a gathering between the two brothers of the Ye family, and Lin Yue joined on a whim. In the next few months, Lin An couldn't find a reason to see Ye Li again. The contact between the two was pitifully rare. It's not that Lin An didn't want to, it's just that he was afraid of being too abrupt. After all, it wasn't the first time Green An understood Ye Li's character of rejecting people thousands of miles away.

This situation has been maintained until the end of the semester.

In the graduation season of the academy, there will always be officers from the major legions who personally select outstanding graduates, and Lin An is naturally one of the candidates.

What Lin An didn't expect was that Ye Li would appear in the simulation cabin of the college as one of the first-time examiners.

That's right... Every year, the examiners for the preliminary examination are officers from the military department, and I actually forgot that he was one of them.

Ye Li's eyes met his for a moment, but before Lin An could be happy, he heard an annoying voice behind him: "A person who can't even control the spirit beast, even if his grades in all subjects are full stars What's the use? It can also deceive ignorant guides. Soldiers with mediocre combat power will not be the best soldiers, but sentries with fatal weaknesses must be the worst kind, right?"

The words were full of provocation and sarcasm. Lin An didn't care about this "old enemy" at first, but these words just hit Lin An's pain point, making the fire that was suppressed in his heart suddenly flare up.

The sentinel who spoke was Shao Yang, the leader of this year's sentry, and also Lin An's strongest opponent. The two people's achievements in the honor list were almost the same. At the same time, they were selected by Admiral Aino to perform tasks for the Flame Legion. , but Lin An was sent to the empire to monitor Ye Li, while Shao Yang joined the reserve team under the Flame Legion.

Now that the two legends returned to the academy at the same time, the glorious deeds of the two were quickly spread in the academy. Although most of them were edited, their popularity was not the slightest bit, and they even formed their own support teams in private. .

So far, Lin An has a slight advantage over Shaoyang, but as he said, Lin An has a fatal weakness: he cannot control his spirit beast.

Although the ability to control spirit beasts is not within the scope of investigation by the academy and legion, it is undoubtedly a big disadvantage when it comes to the battlefield.After all, there are so many things that spirit beasts can do, such as scouting terrain, making up for blind spots, and cooperating with attacks... Unable to control spirit beasts means that they are born with one less helper than others.

Knowing that the two are not getting along, Mira immediately pulled her big baby away when she saw something was wrong, "Calm down, don't listen to his nonsense, your subordinate is just a defeated one, so talking is nothing."

I don't know if it was because of being provoked, but Lin An acted particularly cruel throughout the assessment, even Ye Li could clearly feel that Lin An was in a bad mood.At the end of the assessment, Shao Yang came out of the cockpit almost with a livid face.

"Lin An, wait..." Even though he didn't hear what the two had exchanged before, just looking at Lin An's attitude in this initial test, Ye Li also felt that it was necessary to talk to Lin An.Not as the examiner of this initial test, but as a friend, and a friend who has accepted his kindness.

Before Ye Li had time to call him to stop, he saw Shao Yang take a step to stop him.

"Major Ye," Shao Yang stretched out a hand with a slight smile, "I was lucky enough to hear your performance at the fraternity party, but I didn't have time to communicate with you. It's a pity."

Noticing the movement here, Lin An subconsciously looked at Ye Li, couldn't help clasping his fingers, his face became extremely ugly.

"Hello." Ye Li was forced to stop, and looked suspiciously at the man in front of him who calmed down quickly, and didn't accept his handshake as a gesture of goodwill.Even though he was in the Flame Legion back then, he and Shaoyang hadn't had much contact with each other, but after all, he was personally selected by Ainuo, and Ye Li left some impressions.

"I once heard from Chief Ainuo that you are very good at using your spirit beast on the battlefield. Can I ask you a few questions about the control of spirit beasts." Shaoyang's eyes glanced intentionally or unintentionally. Lin An who was leaving had an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Okay." Hearing the name mentioned in his mouth, Ye Li's attitude became a lot colder, but he still didn't hesitate to point out the other party's advice, "What do you want to know?"

"I have a friend, and his spirit beast is a lazy, stupid dog who can't even do the most basic reconnaissance." Shaoyang tried his best to restrain his laughter, deliberately raised his voice, and said as if no one else was there, "I I'm also very sad about this incident, I don't know if you have seen similar..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and with a "bang", the door of the simulation cabin was slammed shut by Lin An.

"Lin An, where are you going!" Mira yelled.

"Gym." Lin An dropped the words coldly and left without even looking at Ye Li.

"Didn't the people in the military department say that if you have time today, you can contact him. Does the military department want to arrange a partner for you?" Mira couldn't help reminding, he almost doubted whether Lin An had forgotten this matter on purpose, after all he It seems that he has always been very repulsed by the military department's arrangement of guides for him.

"I'm not free today! Another day!" Lin An's voice came from outside, with a harsh tone.

Mira and Su Cen looked at each other and said in unison: "Then we will go too!"

Ye Li turned his head subconsciously, but his sight was blocked by the person in front of him, his heart beat involuntarily, and he even became absent-minded.

"Major Ye, what should we do in this situation?" Shao Yang's words interrupted his thoughts.

Ye Li hurriedly came back to his senses: "Sorry, what did you just say?"
