Veteran Cadre and Bug Chief [Interstellar]

The corners of the lips were raised in line with the curve that the smile should have, but the smile did not extend to the eyes, and the curved curve was also slightly stiff, like an incomplete semi-finished product, which was cut and pasted onto the face abruptly.

Only those who rarely smile on weekdays will show such an unnatural smile.

Qi Fei looked at the fleeting smile, which distracted him for a while. He paid attention to it for a while before his mind continued to process the information he had just received.

The Chief Insect in front of him had indeed seen him unilaterally somewhere, Qi Fei was not surprised by this answer, but the other party then said "in another universe in another timeline"?

Qi Fei read this sentence over and over again three times in his heart, and found that he seemed to have suddenly suffered from a comprehension disorder, and was a little uncertain whether the sentence was literally meant, or in fact, there was nothing he didn't know. understood meaning.

"Have you seen...me in another universe?"

"Correct."

Chief Worm kept his gaze on Qi Fei's face, and he patiently observed the human's reaction.

Qi Fei resisted the urge to open the terminal to confirm the date. For a moment, he wondered if today was April Fool's Day.

However, not to mention that April Fool's Day has never been popular in the military, and the current date is far from April [-]st. As a high-ranking general of a foreign race, he shouldn't be familiar with this kind of earth-specific festival-the other party seems to be too familiar with it. It's not like someone who would play pranks on others at will.

Qi Fei looked at Chief Chong's serious expression, thought for a moment, and swallowed the words that he wanted to ask if he was joking.

His intuition was waving the flag high again, telling him the other side was telling the truth.

Merely having met myself in another universe, the random encounter is not enough to lead to the deliberate approach and show of affection. This universe is so big, and there are countless people who meet by chance every day. Most of them can only treat each other They have a vague impression of each other, and then they are submerged in the intricate interstellar routes.

Qi Fei concluded that if Yan was able to care so much about "him in another universe", there must have been something between the two parties beyond the level of "meeting by chance".

"You..." Qi Fei thought about his choice of words, "You know 'I' from another universe, and you have a good relationship with him?"

"Not quite."

To Qi Fei's surprise, Yan gave a negative answer this time.

Chief Worm said: "I have seen you in another universe, but it's not that I have a good relationship with 'you', but that we have a very good relationship there."

These words sounded like a tongue twister at first glance, but Qi Fei still quickly sorted out the relationship between the characters in the sentence. He carefully considered the connection between "us over there" and "they here". Pick up the conversation in the same way, and ask how good the relationship between him and Yan is.

Qi Fei smelled something meaningful from Officer Zong's suddenly subtle tone, which made him suddenly not want to continue asking.

But if he didn't ask, it didn't mean Yan wouldn't continue talking.

Chief Worm's eyes turned around the human's face, his eyes diverged slightly for half a second, and then became resolute, indicating that he had made some kind of determination.

Yan looked at Qi Fei, and said seriously and solemnly: "The 'we' in that universe are partners."

Qi Fei: "..."

I have been single for more than twenty years, and my love life has been blank. I have never even experienced the ignorant emotions of first love that most boys usually have when they are teenagers. They have been teased by teammates many times. Qi Feiqi, a veteran cadre, received a solemn announcement from a high-ranking Zerg general when he was four months away from being single for another year: "he" in another universe has married the other party in another universe.

Moreover, Chief Chong didn't give Qi Fei any time to digest and absorb, so he continued to clarify the real purpose of his frequent gestures to him: "So, I'm pursuing you now."

Qi Fei: "..."

and many more.

Looking at his paralyzed face, which he managed to maintain calmly, Qi Fei thought, he felt that the causal relationship before and after this seemed not quite right.

Because I accidentally glimpsed "they" in another universe who are married and live a happy life, so I put that envy into this universe of my real life, and actively explored the "other half" in this universe Trace, came in a hurry after finding him, showed him concern and kindness, and hoped that the two of them here could also become partners smoothly and follow the development track in another universe.

Probably Qi Fei was silent for a long time, and the words in front of him began to feel a little cramped and nervous.

The Zerg, whose body stiffened due to tension, felt like a suspect waiting to be sentenced. He could only silently watch the presiding judge in front of him who was contemplating the final sentence, waiting for a final sentence that the other party was about to hand down.

Qi Fei quickly sorted out the other party's thoughts from Chief Zong's words, he was speechless for a while at the conclusion he had drawn, and finally sighed.

This sigh was neither heavy nor loud, it was low and gentle, like a breath that was only a little longer, but that long and gentle breath passed through the air between Qi Fei and Yan, through the sensitive movements of the high-level Zerg race. The ears, as if brushing past the pinnae, poured into the body suddenly, and under the effect of the acceleration of gravity, poured all the way to the bottom of Yan's heart, hitting his heart hard.

Yan's breath was choked by the sigh.

"Sorry." Qi Fei took out the windfall on the way back to the dormitory - the missing piece of paper, and he handed it to Yan who looked at him without blinking.

Few people are willing to be used as a substitute, and when the other party is looking at you, they just expect to see the shadow of another object on you.

Qi Fei is no exception.

Although his situation is slightly different from those unlucky guys who are purely regarded as a substitute, what the bug chief is trying to find in him is the shadow of "himself", but in the final analysis, it is the same as being purely regarded as someone's substitute.

What Yan really wants to pursue is not himself, but the happy life of "they" in another universe that the other party has accidentally glimpsed.Qi Fei had never seen how happy that life was, but he judged from the other party's longing attitude that "they" there should have a very good relationship.

What Chief Chong wants to pursue is actually an experience of a happy life, and that experience just gave him a target candidate for reference, but it doesn't really matter whether the target is Qi Fei or not.

Qi Fei thought so.

"Just like you mentioned that you are already very different from yourself in another universe, and I may not necessarily still be the 'me' in the parallel universe." Qi Fei quietly told Yan his thoughts, "such a template Nesting, pardon me for being unacceptable."

Yan opened his mouth, "I..."

Yan wanted to argue a few words for himself, but after opening his mouth, he realized that he was lacking in words, as if Qi Fei had said every word to the point, making it impossible for him to distinguish.

After all, just relying on an accidental glimpse of memory to pursue a goal that may not exist, the recklessness of this action alone is enough to make others feel inexplicably weird.

Qi Fei watched Yan's lips open and close, and the other party said something in a low voice after a long delay.

If Qi Fei hadn't been patiently waiting for the other party's response without the slightest distraction, he might not have been able to catch the voice that was so weak that it seemed to blend in with natural noise.

Yan whispered: "You are the same."

After Qi Fei heard this sentence clearly, he noticed that Chief Zong's gaze, which had been staring at him before, had lowered. He moved his gaze down along with the other person, and found that the other person was looking at the piece of paper he was holding in his hand.

On the part of the paper pressed by Qi Fei's right thumb, there was already a concave crease that was only pressed hard.

"You are the same", it means that Qi Fei here is the same as Qi Fei in another universe.

But what Qi Fei really cares about is not whether he is the same as his "self" in the parallel universe.

Qi Fei suppressed the second sigh that was about to come out quietly, and shook his head in his heart, "You..."

"drop."

The call bell rang just right, interrupting Qi Fei who wanted to continue talking.

Yan, whose body had been stiff for a long time, seemed to have heard an amnesty order, and he finally got an opportunity to temporarily escape from the atmosphere of the conversation that made him uneasy.

"Wait a minute, I'll open the door."

As soon as he said "wait", a tall and long-legged Zerg had already fled in front of Qi Fei in a big stride, and when he reached the last word "door", he had already walked quickly to the door.

Qi Fei stopped what he hadn't finished speaking, and only quietly followed Yan's back with his eyes.

The person who came to ring the bell was Yan's adjutant. He was holding three data pads that Yan needed to handle personally. When he was empty, he turned to find the chief's room.

"There are three documents about the joint medical examination next week that you need to confirm again. The documents on the human side have been handed over to Xiao... Is it inconvenient for you now?"

The adjutant was dutifully submitting documents while reporting on his work. Halfway through his narration, he suddenly saw Qi Fei standing in the room.

Yan had sorted out his emotions the moment he opened the door, his face did not show the panic that he had just "escaped" from Qi Fei's side, only a calm and calm expression that everything was under control.

"It's not inconvenient." Chief Chong replied, taking the document from the adjutant's hand.

The adjutant thought carefully about the situation of the lonely man and the worm in the same room, and said very thoughtfully: "Then I will come back tomorrow morning to get the data board from you."

After finishing speaking, he realized that he shouldn't stay here by himself to hinder the chief's big event, the adjutant said goodbye quickly, turned and returned to his room, he quietly thought on the way back to the room: the chief's movements were unexpectedly fast!

The interruption from the adjutant made the atmosphere in the room a little more relaxed.

Qi Fei watched Yan still stop at the door after the door was closed, as if he was "thinking about his mistakes", he thought for a while, and took a step forward.

Officer Zong standing at the door heard the movement behind him, and took another step towards the door without hesitation.
