Chapter 6 [IDW Butongbu] Gift

When Drift entered, Rodimus was sitting on a chair boredly, staring at the wall with the optical mirror blankly, staring at every thing, every decoration, every corner of his room.

The sound of the door opening interrupted his contemplation. Seeing the drift, he said as if waking up from a dream: "I'm going to give Lao Tong something."

"Did you make a mistake?" Drift looked at him.

"No, this is pre-save." Rodimus made a gesture, "I want to pre-store some chances of making mistakes, next time I turn the whole universe upside down, Lao Tong will remember my kindness and let me go .”

Drift flashed the flash mirror.

"Well," he said matter-of-factly, "I'm afraid you'll have to give him Yuanshi Tianzun."

"Cool!" Rodimus whistled and made a pistol gesture, "I just like your confidence!"

Just do it.Rodimus sat up straight and summoned Tong Tianxiao over the radio solemnly, so fast that Drift didn't even have time to ask him if he had prepared the gift.

After a knock on the door, Tong Tianxiao came in, quickly, seriously, with a deadpan expression.

When he came in, Rodimus was walking around the room holding a box, as if considering something to throw in it.

"Butianshi, do you need something from me?" Tong Tianxiao asked suspiciously as this didn't seem like an emergency.

"Wait a moment." Rodimus waved his hand casually, continuing to immerse himself in his thoughts.

Tong Tianxiao looked at Drift, Drift didn't know whether he should overstep his authority and tell him Rodimus' plan, because sometimes even he couldn't keep up with Rodimus' sudden inspiration.

Finally, Rodimus stopped in front of an ornament hanging on the wall, he tiptoed to remove the ornament, and turned to look at Celestial Akatsuki.

"I'm going to give this to you," he said earnestly.

Tong Tianxiao was confused.

He remembered this object, which was a thank-you gift from the inhabitants of an unexplored planet who suffered from the injustice of another race, so Rodimus led the members of the Seeker to rescue them.

They presented handmade totems of respect and admiration, eccentric patterns, and unique styles of the nation.

In that fierce battle, Megatron was in command, Rodimus was the striker, Whirlblade and Cyclonus swept across the battlefield, drifting and ambulances transferred ordinary residents, and Celestial Akatsuki was responsible for preventing the random flying caused by those battles Debris hit innocent people.

"It was a fierce battle." Looking back at the battle situation, Tong Tianxiao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Quite a commemorative value." Rodimus held it and nodded for himself with satisfaction.

"But I don't think..." Tong Tianxiao said halfway, but was interrupted by Rodimus, "Wait a minute, I want to give more than this one!" Then, he threw this decoration into the box.

Drift turned his head silently, Tong Tianxiao didn't know it, but he remembered that Rodimus complained not long ago that "this thing is ugly as hell", "Every day I wake up and see it, I feel the pain of the optical mirror", "One day I want to Throwing it off is like throwing off Megatron."

"This is my Surfing Skateboard No. [-]." Rodimus held up a skateboard and said to Tong Tianxiao, "I once used it to participate in an Interstellar Surfing Festival competition, and I defeated all the contestants from various planets. None of them are as good as me! I will give it to you!"

"..." Tong Tianxiao stared at it for a while, and finally couldn't bear the torture of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and said bluntly, "It fell off a piece."

"What?" Rodimus looked at him dully.

"A piece of it fell off, and it's useless."

Rodimus looked at him in shock: "So you know how to use it?"

"I...uh, I won't." Tong Tianxiao said helplessly.

"That's right, take it!"

Then, Rodimus showed all the things he wanted to give to Tong Tianxiao, including but not limited to:

Oddly shaped ore: It once got stuck in Rodimus' wheel, but he was too busy racing to get it out, and finally brought it aboard the Lightseeker.

Half-worn fishing line and broken fishing rod: Rodimus caught a sea monster in the sea of ​​a certain galaxy, and the sea monster completely destroyed his fishing gear.

Nicely shaped sawdust scraped off the table: These were improvised by Rodimus while he was thinking about presents, but, Rodimus emphasized, they were very nice, and they were shaped like the beautiful slugs on Cybertron , whatever they are, they look good anyway.

Decoration in a bar on a certain planet: Rodimus drank too much high purity, put it in the storage space and brought it on board, but he can swear that he didn't mean it.

Some trophies: Gods can't figure out what they're good for.Usually they are brought on the ship with whirling blades. This one-eyed TF with a different way of thinking thinks these things are quite interesting, but Tong Tianxiao confiscated them before he boarded the ship, and finally they fell into the hands of Rodimus. As a gift to Tongtianxiao...

Drift can't stand it anymore.

He couldn't comment on the stupidity of what was happening before him, but it was, stupid.

Especially under such a ridiculous introduction, the giver is so proud, and the receiver is so serious, as if they are handing over some important and proud token.

"I'll go find a ribbon." Unable to look directly at the tragedy at all, Drift made an excuse to go outside. Rodimus did not stop him, but showed Tong Tianxiao a handful of fragments seriously. It is said that they came from An alien knife.

"Sharp! Fierce!" Botian Shihuo boasted of this defective product like a galaxy salesman, "If it wasn't for my flexibility, I mean, if it was a big guy like you, it would have cut it off long ago , but what about me? Turn over and escape, wonderful! So handsome! Only a little bit of patent leather has fallen off."

……

Drift found some leftover ribbons in his room, they were gold, apparently a color that Rodimus would have liked, and not only that, Drift also found a nice blank greeting card, also the last time he sent a thank you The leftovers from the gift to a certain TF—he wrote it, and discarded many greeting cards, these are the remnants of that time.

They've been sitting in the room for so long, they're both in the way and useless, and Drift is happy to take the opportunity to do a cleanup.

When Drift came back with the ribbon and the card, Tong Tianxiao was walking out of Rodimus' room with the box in his arms. His mask was full of confusion and incomprehension. The bulging box even looked a little pitiful.

"I refuse Rodimus' gift with all my strength." He said to Drift, the core effect made Drift hear some complaints, "but he didn't listen at all, what should I do with these things now?"

"Someone to forward it to?" Drift blurted out, and soon, to cover up the words, he put the ribbon and card on the box, and said briskly, "This, I wanted Rodimus to decorate with it." Gift box, but since you have accepted them all, take them with you."

After saying that, he didn't observe Tong Tianxiao's face any more, but quickly slipped into Rodimus' room.

Rodimus grabbed the edge of the table and looked at him with a smirk: "Have you met Lao Tong? How's his expression?"

Drift didn't know how to answer this question for a while, so he could only say ambiguously: "It's pretty good, his expression is like an ambulance receiving my greeting card."

"Embarrassed, ashamed, wishing I could run away?"

Drift wanted to refute, but found himself unable to refute.

"Probably," he replied.

Rodimus snapped his fingers, and thoughtfully picked up the knife.

"This doesn't seem to be the effect I want." He pondered.

Tong Tianxiao, who was holding the box, met the ambulance in the corridor.

The ambulance took another look at him, and Tong Tianxiao thought it necessary to explain, to prove that holding this pile of things was not because of a problem with his processor, nor because he was fired: "This is a gift sent by Rodimus. Give it to me."

The ambulance wanted to pass him, but had to stop at this moment.

"It looks very nice," he said gruffly. "It's hard to imagine you'd turn it down."

Tong Tianxiao couldn't tell if this was a sarcasm, the way the ambulance spoke was as "strange" as ever.

"I'm thinking about how to return the gift to him." Tong Tianxiao continued, "Because I accepted the gift, so I should return the gift—right?"

The ambulance squinted at him through the optics, then at the box, and the card and ribbon that lay just above it.

He made a disgusted expression: "This is simple, I will return the gift for you."

He grabbed the card, took out a pen and quickly and scribbled on it:

Toromus

Thank you for sending me this pile of garbage

Goto hell! ! !

After a star week, Rodimus got his gift in return.

Tong Tianxiao sent back repaired and polished surfboards and fishing gear, polished crystals, and clean decorations. Each trophy was accompanied by hundreds of pages of instruction manuals... Tong Tianxiao sent those things It was all sorted and organized, and then sent back.

Everything is so pleasing to the eye that even the attached card would be less obnoxious if it didn't say "Gotohell!!!" on it.

Drift recognized the ambulance's handwriting at a glance. He picked up the card and explained calmly: "This must be a joke that Lao Tong learned from someone in the story of deviation."

"No!" Rodimus wrinkled his mask and twisted his hands.

"Well, of course it is." Drift rubbed his fingers against the card, and made a joke that would normally divert Rodimus' attention, "Old Tong hasn't evolved to the point where he can comprehend this prank, has he?"

"No." Rodimus didn't listen to what he said, but firmly denied, "This is not the effect I want."

Rodimus was in a state of suffocation, so Drift rubbed the card in his hand in time, and stuffed the small core into the subspace.

Drift feels that it is necessary to do something to help Tianshi, not entirely because of this hurtful card, ambulances have no good words for anyone, this

Is the characteristic of the ambulance, cute characteristic.But Tong Tianxiao is a metal plate, a hateful large metal plate, Drift can't let his friend's olive branch always hit a metal plate.

When he met Celestial Dawn in the corridor, Drift stopped him for the first time.

"Tongtianxiao, you know Rodimus doesn't like your return gifts, right?"

Tong Tianxiao showed a wary expression.

"I..." He cleared the sounder, "I didn't know you knew Rodimus so well."

"Even if I don't know it," Drift said, "Romusculus didn't give you his used things so you could fix them, the rags... I mean, they're his, even though they look shabby. Precious memories, so you know what to do, right?"

When silence fell, Drift realized that he had talked too much. Even if he went back a few days, he would never have imagined that he could stand in a fairly public place and teach the former law enforcement officer a lesson. Find embarrassment.It's as if Megatron announced his surrender, but no TF dared to sit shoulder to shoulder with him in the story of departure and drink high purity.

Tong Tianxiao looked as if he was hit by a TF from behind with a sap, and he stared at the optical mirror.

Drift wants to say more things to prove that the other party is so stupid, but enough, he really talked too much to Tong Tianxiao today, their relationship is not familiar enough to make complaints about it.

My closest self must have been infected by the helpful ambulance.Drift slowly covered his visor, his visor became astonishingly hot just thinking about it.

Rodimus didn't expect this situation, Tong Tianxiao stood beside his desk, staring at him for a long time.

"You in the end..."

"I can not……"

They spoke at the same time, and were startled by each other at the same time.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Rodimus involuntarily carved the table with a knife repeatedly.

"I can't..." Tong Tianxiao's words were knotted, "I can't give you things from my past, those are my armor, and..."

He spread out his palms and held the thing inside to show Rodimus, it was a seal.

"My previous things were taken away by the Big Mac Ford, and we handed them over, and those are all work supplies." Tong Tianxiao said, "I don't have any other personal items...not many, this is my private seal, I can't give it to you either, I always use it to approve documents, to you, it's not good, no, I don't think it's good."

Rodimus tried his best not to roll his eyes: "So?"

He stretched out his empty left hand provocatively: "You can't give me anything?"

Tong Tianxiao didn't speak, but took the opportunity to lift the seal and put it on his palm.

Rodimus stared at the string of letters on his palm: Ultra Magnus.

"This is the most meaningful thing in my past." Tong Tianxiao clenched the seal tightly.

"No," Rodimus said, "no, it's very..."

never mind.Rodimus stared at the letters on his palm: "How long will they last?"

Tong Tianxiao didn't understand what he meant, so he answered honestly: "As long as you don't wash it..."

"Then don't wash it." Rodimus said.

As usual, Tong Tianxiao always got the unexpected from his sudden arrival.

Rodimus's feet hidden under the table lightly rubbed against the ground: "I thought I would throw the old one at you, and you would buy me a new one... No, that's not right, what I want is not this kind of thing." Effect……"

Rodimus himself didn't know why he threw a bunch of old things to Tong Tianxiao that day, and told him so much nonsense about his past, not to mention, what he received in the end was just a bunch of old things. Good-looking but useless things and a string of letters in the palm.

It's just that the feeling at this moment is being transmitted in the emotional module, and it feels so right that his visor is hot and his voice trembles.

Rodimus continued to lock on the letters on the palm, then he raised his head and smiled at Tong Tianxiao: "Exchange it, I guessed right, this is it."
