Interstellar First God of War [Rebirth]

pity……

Looking at the empty palm, Yan Che clenched his fist regretfully and put it behind his back.Looking up, he suddenly found himself standing at the door of the cafeteria.Not far away, Xu Yuan was gesticulating with a support staff with a bright smile, and then pointed to him.Yan Che, who was pointed at, straightened his chest subconsciously. For some reason, when Xu Yuan's eyes met his eyes, he always felt a little nervous.

The logistics staff nodded, turned around and went to the kitchen to give permission to Xu Yuan and the others.Xu Yuan came over and said to Yan Che: "There are still some ingredients, what do you want to eat?"

Under Xu Yuan's smiling eyes, Yan Che felt his mouth go dry.His throat moved involuntarily, and he said, "Can you make me whatever I want to eat?"

Xu Yuan smiled and said, "If you want me to do it, of course it's fine. It's just that the chefs are all there, and my skills are not as good as theirs."

"It's enough." Yan Che narrowed his eyes, and walked into the kitchen amidst Xu Yuan's sideways movement of respectful concession.

Hearing the surprised and cautious greetings from the staff inside, everyone gathered around in a cautious manner and asked Yan Che what instructions he had.Yan Che nodded, and after a few instructions, he sent those people away.

Looking at the ingredients on the chopping board that were quickly laid out in front of him by many chefs, Yan Che turned his head and asked Xu Yuan, "What do you eat?"

Xu Yuan smiled and said, "What do you want to eat?"

Yan Che: "I can do it."

Xu Yuan said, "It's difficult to do whatever you want," and Yan Che immediately said, "What are you best at?"

What he is best at must be Xu Yuan's favorite.Since eating together, it is natural to choose the food that the other party likes.

Xu Yuan's eyes lingered on Yan Che's face, his eyes rolled twice, and then under Yan Che's puzzled gaze, he suddenly smiled with a familiar and intimate smile, and said, "Then let's grill the veal steak. "

Yan Che nodded, "Okay."

"Add some pasta, the sweet kind." Skillfully picking out the food you need from the ingredients, Xu Yuan took the ingredients and walked to the stove, saying: "I don't know how to use this kind of fully automatic cooking machine. Is homemade food okay?"

Yan Che said, "Yes."

"My family also has a child who is about the same age as you." Xu Yuan said while arranging the ingredients: "The family is poor and can't afford any delicious food, so steak is almost impossible to eat. He has a delicate personality and lived a good life before. , Difficult to serve, and often loses his temper at home. So every time I get angry and can’t be coaxed, I will go to the vegetable market to buy a small steak for him. Seeing the delicious steak on the table, he is like a child seeing candy Yes, get down right away."

Yan Che looked at the smile on Xu Yuan's mouth and suddenly felt a little envious.Envious of that person whom Xu Yuan doted on whom he had never met before, he said, "That's it."

"I'm sorry, because I haven't seen him for a long time, I accidentally recalled it." Xu Yuan glanced down at Yan Che who was standing beside him, and said, "You must not be interested in these... Ah, there is a lot of oily smoke here, You'd better stand behind."

...started calling you again.

Yan Che took two steps back and looked at Xu Yuan from a distance.Looking at the young man who is obviously 20 years old, but not much taller than himself.That face, which was not so handsome and charming, but with inexplicably heroic features, made people unable to move their eyes away for some reason.

The way Xu Yuan lowered his head and worked hard was very attractive, and made Yan Che, who had no interest in food at first, also love the house and black, and involuntarily started to pay attention to food.

The creamy yellow butter solids were placed on the heated pan and melted as quickly as ice and snow.In the blink of an eye, it turned into a liquid and filled the surface of the pot, and after a while, small bubbles appeared.Hot air came from the direction of the stove, and white mist could be seen faintly, and the aroma of butter could be smelled.

Holding long chopsticks, Xu Yuan took out two pieces of red and white frosted meat that had been cut to a suitable thickness from the chopping board, and gently put them on the heated butter.Just hearing a sizzling sound, the flesh at the bottom was instantly dyed a beautiful cherry red.The juice gradually seeps out from between the pieces of meat, giving off bursts of charming meat aroma, and when the chopsticks touch it inadvertently, it will bounce back slightly.

Feeling almost the same, Xu Yuan took out the spices from the side, and skillfully sprinkled them on the meat. With a dexterous movement of the chopsticks, the meat obediently turned over. The white mist dispersed from the surface of the pot, Yan Che raised his eyebrows, Unconsciously, he moved a little closer to Xu Yuan's direction.

Xu Yuan chuckled lightly: "It smells different, doesn't it?"

"It smells good." Yan Che said honestly.

"Because the spices are pressed under the meat, after encountering the heat from the bottom of the pot, all the flavors will radiate out and adhere to the meat. When you eat it, the meat will be filled with the smell of spices in your mouth." , very fragrant and sweet." Xu Yuan said, "Have you never seen a picture of cooking before?"

Yan Che shook his head.

Xu Yuan laughed: "Then I am really honored. This is the first time I will show you how to cook. You must perform well."

After finishing speaking, he raised his hand to pick up the seasoning bowl of the automatic cooking machine, as long as the name of the seasoning is input in advance, it can automatically prepare the seasoning bowl with thick seasoning.The thick brown-black juice is poured on the fresh and soft red and white pieces of meat, sizzling, the smoke rises, and the mellow, fragrant and intoxicating strong taste instantly enters the nostrils.With the meaty aroma and seasoning just now, it is really addictive, and I can't wait to eat two bites immediately.

Watching the steaming steak being perfectly placed on the ceramic blue plate, the shiny rose-red surface is covered with a layer of fragrant ingredients.The food with complete color, fragrance and taste completely stimulates the desire of human beings to open their mouths to taste it.

Yan Che's eyes watched the steak from the pan to the time it was placed on the plate, and never moved away for a moment.Seeing it, Xu Yuan couldn't help laughing out loud: "It's really similar."

Yan Che looked up: "Huh?"

Xu Yuan didn't explain, but said, "Would you like to have a taste first?"

Yan Che said seriously, "Food should be eaten on the dining table."

Xu Yuan ignored him, took a knife and fork from a shelf, and put it in Yan Che's hand: "Eat as much as you want, there are no rules in private, didn't you just tell me that?"

"..." Yan Che looked at the knife and fork in his hand, a little at a loss.

Xu Yuan didn't know why Yan Che suddenly acted so clumsily. He stretched out his hand and raised his right hand, and used his hand to cut off a small piece of meat with a knife, then signaled with his eyes, "You don't Do you want to try it?"

Xu Shi was moved by Xu Yuan's eyes, Yan Che hesitated for a moment, raised his fork and poked at the piece of meat, and under Xu Yuan's expectant gaze, he opened his mouth and took a small bite.

Fat but not greasy, articulate and fragrant.The teeth can clearly feel the juice and umami that bloom from the tearing of the meat, and there are bursts of aftertaste.The right amount of spices combined with the firm and soft creamy meat arouses people's desire to continue to taste. It makes people's index fingers twitch and swallow up and down their throats. They only feel hungry in their stomachs and want to continue to take another bite.

Xu Yuan clearly saw Yan Che's joyful expression after tasting the delicious food, but watched Yan Che put down the knife and fork politely, nodded and praised: "It's delicious."

Every move was well-organized, and the size was well grasped. His movements and demeanor were enough to prove Yan Che's satisfaction.But Xu Yuan looked awkward, and urged, "Don't eat any more?"

Yan Che shook his head slightly: "Wait until you're done."

"..." Xu Yuan pursed his lips and tried to persuade him again. Seeing that Yan Che still didn't change his mind, he smiled and said, "Okay."

In my heart, I secretly made a decision.

"Are you free after dinner?"

Yan Che said, "Yes, I have reserved all of today's time for you."

Xu Yuan said: "Then before continuing the training, you can accompany me for a while."

Yan Che blinked, probably thinking about whether there was enough time, and then said, "Okay."

Seeing Yan Che's well-behaved look, Xu Yuan couldn't help but raised his hand to stroke his soft and refreshing hair. Seeing that Yan Che didn't respond, he stroked it a few more times greedily, and then reluctantly withdrew his hand.

Yan Che still looked at Xu Yuan expressionlessly with the calm eyes just now.Not angry, not happy, very normal.

Xu Yuan suddenly had the mentality of deceiving the ignorant and ignorant child and taking advantage of him. He coughed and turned around to get the noodles.As if to cover up the embarrassment just now, Xu Yuan said, "I have a younger brother."

Yan Che: "I know."

"Although it's a bit impolite to say that." As soon as Chu Chen was mentioned, Xu Yuan unconsciously revealed a smile, and said, "But for so many years, I have been taking care of him and teaching him, so I don't know if I left a kind It's my nature to be a big brother, but I feel very kind when I see you, and I can't help but think of my younger brother, and want to treat you better."

So seeing such a way of restraining one's desires, restraining the true thoughts in one's heart, wearing a mask to pretend another appearance, and playing the role of Yan Che, the "commander of words" who "should be" in the eyes of others.Xu Yuan subconsciously wanted to make him live a happier and freer life, help him, and let him live out his true self.Rather than imprisoning oneself in an invisible cage, restraining oneself with numerous rules, and making life so rigid and boring.

He wants to take Yan Che to learn to appreciate the beauty of this world, and to tell him that food should not exist just to sustain life.It was born to make people feel joy, to taste delicious food, and to gain a sense of fulfillment.

Otherwise, for a person who doesn't pursue three meals a day and only wants to eat enough, how pale and boring should his daily life be?

"I'm full, it was a delicious meal, thank you."

Yan Che's polite words flowed in and out of Xu Yuan's ears, but his joyful eyes and empty plate made Xu Yuan feel sincerely satisfied.After dinner, Xu Yuan said, "Is there any place you want to go?"

Yan Che was puzzled and said: "In the next plan, I will look at the interstellar route map, and then memorize them—"

"Then let's go see the starry sky together!" Xu Yuan secretly changed his concept.

Yan Che asked suspiciously, "Don't looking at the starry sky mean the same thing as the flight path..."

Xu Yuan smiled mysteriously: "You will know when the time comes."

……

The empty and cool stargazing room is said to be stargazing, but in fact there are no stars to be seen.The airtight room was empty, only a holographic projection floating in mid-air could be seen.After the projection is connected to the system, users only need to adjust the angle and the starry sky area, and then they can easily view any corner of the star field.

Before Yan Che raised his finger to set the star field, Xu Yuan asked, "What constellation are you from?"

Yan Che replied, "Leo."

Xu Yuan pointed to the starry sky above his head, and by default on the star field map starting from the perspective of the earth, several stars were shining brightly.He said: "Speaking of Leo, this is a romantic constellation, and there is a beautiful love story behind the name, do you know that?"

Yan Che shook his head: "I know the size, data, name, origin, and year of discovery of the planet. The story is..."

Xu Yuan said, "Then let me tell you."

Yan Che didn't speak, but looked at Xu Yuan quietly.Xu Yuan pulled Yan Che to sit down on the reclining chair beside him, looked up at the bright and charming starry sky in front of him, and said to Yan Che slowly in a low and magnetic voice: "...the prototype of Leo is 'Nimia', family members They call him Ani, a half-human, half-demon monster. During the day he is a ferocious lion, his fur is the color of the sun; at night, he takes human form, a handsome boy with blond hair and blue eyes."

Yan Che listened quietly, staring at Xu Yuan, trying to be the best listener.

"Ani has a younger sister named Xu Dela. Unlike Ani, his sister Xu Dela was born to his parents. Ani loved Xu deeply since he was a child. He told Xu that he would do anything for Xu , including death. The two childhood sweethearts soon fell in love."

"But the hero He Wuli was ordered to kill Ani and Xu, these two half-human monsters produced by monsters, according to the oracle."

"Ani didn't want to be an enemy of He Wuli, but in order to protect his sweetheart Xu, he decided to keep He Wuli out of the Nemea Forest. Xu wanted to prevent Ani from going, but Ani comforted her and said, 'Except You, no one can kill me!' After finishing speaking, he went alone to find He Wuli."

"Xu loves Ani very much. She doesn't want Ani to die, so she decides to fight off He Wuli before Ani, even if they die together. However, even though she can become a hydra to fight He Wuli, He Wuli can't do it. Still defeated her. He killed the snake demon Xu, and soaked all the arrows he carried with him in the blood of the poisonous snake."

"In the evening, Ani finally found He Wuli. He turned into a blood-soaked lion and pounced on He Wuli. He Wuli drew his sword and fought the lion, but the lion's fur couldn't be pierced by any sharp weapon. It was clear that He Wuli couldn't kill him at all. So He Wuli thought of those arrows soaked in poison. He raised the arrow and aimed at the lion and shot it. The arrow hit the lion's heart. The arrow soaked in Xu's poisonous blood Shot right into Arnie's broken heart."

Hearing this, Yan Che raised his brows slightly, and an incomprehensible look flashed in his eyes.

Xu Yuan didn't stop, and continued to finish the story: "As Ani said before, no one can kill him except Xu. The lion fell to the ground and turned into a human. He Wuli looked at Ani in amazement, And Arnie died without saying a word."

"Later, Zeus made Ani return to the sky and turned into a star, that is, the Leo that is as bright as the sun. And the human beings belonging to Leo are also endowed with the character of daring to sacrifice for love."

Looking at Yan Che who was staring at him intently, Xu Yuan smiled and said: "So, this is a constellation full of emotions, dedicated to love, and admirable. You are a Leo, and you must have some shadow of Arnie in your body." .”

Yan Che asked, "Xu?"

Xu Yuan paused for a moment, then embarrassedly said: "Well, it happens to be the same as my surname. What a coincidence."

Yan Che asked, "Did Ani commit suicide because she knew Xu was dead?"

"It should be." Xu Yuan said: "His fur is indestructible, there is no reason for an arrow to pierce his heart. He must have found that the arrow was stained with Xu's venom, and after knowing the news of Xu's death, he was willing to follow Xu's footsteps and leave. of."

Yan Che lowered his head slightly.

Xu Yuan said: "Behind every planet, there is a story that belongs to him. These delicate feelings cannot be replaced by pure data. Compared with those cold numbers, stories full of human touch are more attractive."

"I can't understand." Yan Che said, "Even if you tell me these things, it won't help."

"No." Xu Yuan said: "Didn't you like the food just now? If you like it, you might as well try to continue to taste other foods next time. Slowly, over time, you will naturally become interested. As long as you willing--"

"I won't eat any more." Yan Che interrupted: "I spent a total of 37 minutes eating with you. This time is enough for me to do a lot of things. One time is enough. I waste so much time every day. I can’t accept it. I only need to drink two sips of nutrient solution to eat, so I won’t eat any more.”

Xu Yuan's face, which was still full of smiles and carefully guided, became weaker and weaker with Yan Che's words, and finally even a little angry.He didn't expect that the happy meal just now was called "37 minutes, a waste of time" by Yan Che, just like the good memories at that time were just his one-sided fantasy, empty and empty.

忍不住道：“你何必说这种话，喜欢就是喜欢，为什么要刻意克制，甚至是扼杀这种感情。没有人会觉得你吃顿饭不行，会浪费时间，你应该为自己考虑一下！”

After eating the colorless and tasteless nutrient solution for so many years, the moment his lips touched the food, Xu Yuan couldn't have misread the astonishment in Yan Che's eyes.

"You were obviously very happy and satisfied at the time."

Yan Che said calmly, "I am the commander."

Xu Yuan's words froze.

Does this mean threatening him with power and telling him to shut up?

Yan Che continued: "I have been entrusted with everyone's hope, and the future of hundreds of millions of people is entrusted to me. What the earth needs is a perfect commander, not a 'person' who will be swayed by emotions."

Xu Yuan's expression changed.

He recalled Yan Che's words to him a few days ago, "I can't have friends, if I do, I won't be reliable in the eyes of others".It seems to be understood, but it seems to be completely incomprehensible.

"That's why you habitually keep your face tight and don't show your emotions, because you are afraid that others will not trust you?"

Indeed, a precise and unemotional "instrument" is more trustworthy than a man who is swayed by emotion and worldliness.

But Yan Che is human!Live people!

For more than ten years, I have not left home, met a stranger, eaten a hot meal, or made a friend.

What's the point of such a life!

He didn't know the meaning contained in Xu Yuan's flickering eyes that were staring at him closely.Yan Che said: "The earth needs an indicator that is not going badly, the army needs an invincible pillar, and the people need a 'god' who stands at the top, guides them, protects them, and gives them a spiritual sustenance. And the gods, You can’t have personal feelings. Will you accept a superior who is ordered by feelings to change decisions at will? Can you tolerate a commander who can’t keep time and is blinded by material desires and preferences. Human beings can’t bear to hold their lives in their hands. Human beings have changing personalities and cannot be controlled. That's why I became like this."

This is the truth that he naturally understood shortly after he was entrusted with the task assigned to him by his tribe when he was three years old.From the beginning to the end, he didn't even need others to deliberately arrange it. He chose such a path by himself, and he never crossed the line along the way.

He knew that he had to be perfect, tough, strong, without flaws.Otherwise, no.

Xu Yuan: "...Sorry, I can't understand what you said."

在他看来，言澈的话简直就是莫名其妙。

"Are you happy living like this?"

Yan Che asked, "Do people have to be happy to live? Are unhappy people worth living?"

Xu Yuan was speechless.

Yan Che: "I don't quite understand what you want to say."

"I just want to make you happy!" Xu Yuan said, "I just want to make you laugh!"

Yan Che was slightly taken aback.

"You look beautiful when you smile." Xu Yuan said, "But since the first time we met, I have never seen you smile again."

"..." Yan Che looked at Xu Yuan and was silent for a while.Suddenly the corners of the mouth twisted, as if controlled by a machine, revealing a perfect, impeccable smile.

Very beautiful, very good-looking, with a bright smile, and the sunshine is so unforgettable.

But it's a pity, combined with those Gujing Wubo's plain eyes, it looks like a clumsy forged photo that was put together bluntly.It is sad and helpless to watch.

"Don't force yourself, if you want to laugh, you can naturally laugh."

Yan Che immediately withdrew his "smile", his face expressionless, the corners of his mouth curled into a straight line, without saying a word.

Xu Yuan vaguely sensed Yan Che's unhappiness, and comforted him, "It's fine."

"There is still a long time to come, and I can always learn slowly."

Yan Che said bluntly, "Impossible."

Xu Yuan opened his lips, wanting to say something.

"It's one o'clock, let's go."

Xu Yuan, who was used to following the instructions of his superiors, subconsciously responded yes, stopped talking just now, raised his finger to turn off the projector, and prepared to leave with Yan Che.

Just as he turned on the system with his fingertips, he saw the clock on the corner of the interface. The second hand at 13:00:00 just jumped to the position of 01.

"..."

Xu Yuan couldn't help frowning, and looked inquisitively at Yan Che's slender back who didn't look back.

--This is?
