Star Monopoly System

Seeing the boy stop suddenly, Qiao Jiang lowered his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zuo Ting hesitated, not knowing how to answer.

At that time, the man's portrait projected on the pseudo-armor was blurred in other places, only the silver hair was the most clear.But afterward, he inquired that there were no silver-haired men among the participating players.

Moreover, people often have auditory hallucinations in the deep sea.Zuo Ting was still not sure whether he had seen a phantom in fear, or whether it was a real person, so he never told others.

He didn't know the purpose of Qiao Jiang's trip to the Pacific Ocean, and thought that the accident was purely because Ryunosuke and others alarmed the whales.After thinking about it, I felt that if he said it rashly, with Qiao Jiang's character, he would probably mobilize the crowd to investigate.But the incident is over, even if the results of the investigation are useless, it is better to let it go than to go to war.

However, because the memory of the horror of that day was still fresh, Zuo Ting still said something extra: "Did you hear what they said? After entering the restaurant, please describe to me what the silver-haired man looks like."

Zuo Ting didn't realize how easily his own words could cause misunderstandings.

Qiao Jiang narrowed his eyes slightly, a little dangerously.The tone was the same as before, with no clue: "Okay."

Later, the two walked into the private room that had been reserved, and the waiter who had been instructed in advance immediately presented the meal that had been prepared silently, and at the same time couldn't help stealing glances at them and guessing secretly.

It should be the older young man who ordered the meal, his request is really unheard of.At that time, they gossiped in private for a long time, but they didn't figure out why.But seeing his companion's appearance now, he can guess a little bit.

Although half of his face is covered with bangs, from certain angles, he can still see how delicate and outstanding the boy's facial features are, and the nervousness of the young man can be understood.However, the young man's desire for monopoly is too strong. It is too exaggerated to prevent the young man from showing his appearance in front of others, or even wanting him to hear other people's voices.

Is it because you are too ugly that you have an inferiority complex?Well, that must be the case, didn't you see that the young man covered his face with a surprisingly large mirror?It must be because he is too ugly and the boy is too eye-catching, so he behaves so possessively and defensively.It must be very hard for a teenager to be the partner of this kind of person.

After serving the dishes, the waiter cast a sympathetic glance at the boy before leaving.

Although the waiter was terribly wrong in some respects, he was right on a certain point: Qiao Jiang hoped that the boy would only hear his own voice tonight and only think of himself.

Unfortunately, before stepping into the restaurant, this wish was shattered by a few girls who broke their mouths.

And Zuo Ting couldn't guess his thoughts at all, he still asked: "Have you seen the silver-haired man?"

"No." Although he was unhappy, he still paid attention along the way, and he didn't find the silver-haired man in the girl's mouth.He did know someone with the same characteristics, but that person was on duty in the palace tonight, so it was impossible for him to appear here.There is no need for him to mention an irrelevant person to Zuo Ting.

Seeing Zuo Ting's confused face, as if he wanted to say something, Qiao Jiang lifted his bangs for him to eat.At the same time, he said softly: "Zuo Ting, today is our first date, are you sure you want to know more about the other man?"

Feeling his slightly callused fingers brushing his forehead, the touch reminded Zuo Ting of being eaten tofu just now, and felt a little embarrassed.But he has never been a cowardly person. Now that he finds that he can accept the intimacy of men and approves of Qiao Jiang's pursuit, he will not say anything that is not what he said.

"Then, tell me about you. You know my situation, but about you, I only know the official media reports, which is too unfair."

Hearing this, Qiao Jiang withdrew his hand in satisfaction, put a bowl of fruit porridge in front of him, and put the silver spoon in his hand, "Come, listen while eating. Let me talk about my family first, I have two Fathers, one is Qiao Jie and the other is Simon. The Qiao family has soldiers from generation to generation, and they basically serve in the army. But in order to avoid suspicion, my father did not do this."

"As for the other father, Simon, the situation is similar. He is a duke and the only younger brother of the emperor, but he voluntarily gave up his right of inheritance and left the palace after marriage. The three of us live in his Grand Duke's mansion, and the family is usually not very happy. Someone, because they travel together all year round."

After a few words, Qiao Jiang finished introducing his family.It sounds simple, but judging from the words used to avoid suspicion and give up, it looks quite complicated.

Zuo Ting couldn't help being a little worried: "Your father has a lord, so he must be very concerned about your partner's background."

He is an orphan, and his greatest wish is to have his own family. He naturally has further expectations for love, and he can't hold the chic attitude of being happy.The reason why Qiao Jiang was able to impress him was due to the phrase "dating on the premise of marriage".

If he was with Qiao Jiang, maybe his status would be a hindrance.

Zuo Ting didn't realize it at all. Although he was still struggling, when he was thinking, he had completely assumed the identity of Qiao Jiang's boyfriend.

Qiao Jiang was one step ahead of him, keenly aware of this, and an extremely gentle smile immediately appeared in his eyes.

Fearing that Zuo Ting would think wildly and shrink back, he immediately promised: "No, the last thing our family needs is dignitaries. The combination of the Grand Duke and the military family made His Majesty a lot of scruples back then, and they fought very hard for a time. From an early age, they told me over and over not to make the same mistake."

Qiao Jiang didn't analyze it too carefully, but a few words were enough to teach Zuo Ting to make up a power struggle drama.Judging from Qiao Jiang's tone, it should be clear now.But Zuo Ting couldn't help but have other doubts: "If this is the case...why does the emperor still rest assured that you will be the marshal and command the army?"

Hearing this, Qiao Jiang looked at Zuo Ting with soft eyes that added a bit of praise.In his situation, although he didn't need a partner of noble birth, he definitely didn't want someone without political sensitivity.Zuo Ting's intelligence is just right.

"Because the situation was tense at that time, no one was available. At that time, the minions of Nanmian Kingdom penetrated into the heart of the empire, and the battle ahead was tense. For His Majesty, under the premise of defending the country, all internal struggles are no longer a problem. "

There is one more thing that Qiao Jiang didn't say: Although the emperor has deep thoughts and is lenient on the outside and taboo on the inside, he has one advantage in that he is not suspicious of his people.It was confirmed that the Qiao family did not intend to use the grand duke's bloodline to make a fuss, and the power he gave Qiao Jiang could be called generous.Of course, correspondingly, Qiao Jiang must also charge forward and prove his worth.

However, Qiao Jiang's ideal since he was a child was to defend his family and the country, and protect the common people. It can't be said that he sacrificed his life for power.

Not wanting to spoil the atmosphere, Qiao Jiang didn't say much about all kinds of inside information, but only emphasized to Zuo Ting: "In short, you don't have to worry about this."

Zuo Ting knew that he would definitely do what he said.But apart from being relieved, he finally realized that he shouldn't worry about these things as the pursued person, and suddenly became embarrassed, and muttered: "What am I worried about?"

Qiao Jiang didn't know that his mouth was stiff, and the smile in his eyes deepened, "Well, I was actually worried that you would be scared away and would not accept my pursuit. But it turns out that I was too worried, right?"

His words were full of traps, no matter what Zuo Ting answered, he would always be wrong, so he simply bowed his head and drank the porridge, ignoring this fellow.

Qiao Jiang knew the truth of accepting as soon as he saw something good. Seeing that Zuo Ting didn't answer, he skipped the question of asking for his heart and started talking about another thing: "Tomorrow is the academy's mech combat week. Do you want to participate in the battle?" ?"

During the day, when Tu Gang introduced the situation of the academy, he said that the week-long Mecha Combat Week held every six months is to let the students remember the trauma that the war brought to the empire.The so-called actual combat is to imitate the legion system, divide the registered participants into two camps, one to attack and the other to defend, and manipulate the mechs to fight with real guns and live ammunition.

For the purpose of patriotic education, the battle venue is also very special: the college spent a lot of money to restore the famous battlefield that was ravaged by the Nanmian Kingdom in a no-man's land on the capital planet.For example, the central city of Meda Star, where terrorist activities are the most serious, and the front-line planet, where civilian casualties are the heaviest, and so on.Every year, the actual battlefield is randomly selected in these places.

The students who can enter the military academy are all the best among their peers, and many of them have been promoted to A-level.The actual combat week, which gathered many elites, was at least four or five times higher than the adventures in the battle hall.Not to mention anything else, just because the students here can directly operate the real mechs, it has completely defeated the children's play house-style fights in the battle hall.

Thinking of the clumsiness of the imitation armor, and comparing it with the lightness of the mecha, Zuo Ting couldn't help saying: "It would be great if there was a mecha that even people with low mental strength could operate, so that everyone can practice from a young age."

Qiao Jiang had also considered this issue before, and immediately nodded his head in agreement: "That's right. If it can be cultivated from childhood, the military strength of the empire will have a qualitative leap. However, research on related aspects has not progressed, and this idea is only for the time being. It could be just an idea.”

Zuo Ting felt deeply sorry.

After thinking about it, he felt that it was really inappropriate to take the initiative to seek abuse given his current situation, so he said, "I won't go to the battle week."

Qiao Jiang was not surprised by his refusal, and at the same time, he had already made arrangements: "The college will not start classes during this time, why don't I take you to other places to play while I have time?"

Traveling for two?

Zuo Ting immediately thought of the established rules in the previous life: couples who have been together for a while, if they want to make further progress but feel embarrassed to have sex directly, the best choice is to travel together, swim together during the day and sleep together at night.

Isn't Qiao Jiang's request too direct?They're not even a couple yet!Why didn't I see that he was such a pervert before?

Just as Zuo Ting felt a sense of resistance and disgust, he heard Qiao Jiang say again: "There are many good places near the capital, and you can go back and forth within the same day. Uncle and the others won't find out."

...It turns out that I misunderstood him again.

Zuo Ting reflected on his rashness without sincerity, and was about to speak when the long-lost system sound suddenly sounded in his head.
