[Interstellar] The king who doesn't want to return

Dismantling the mecha in the morning and adaptive training in the afternoon, a week passed quickly, and the members of the Chenxi team finally began to adapt to the rush of data.

After several rainy days in a row, Sunday was a fine day with clear skies.

When Zhou Yuze woke up, the bed was full of sunlight, the place beside him was empty, but a faint fragrance wafted from outside the door.

Habitually squinting his eyes, he picked up a cup of still warm drink on the bedside table and drank it down. After sitting for a while, he put on his pajamas and got out of bed to wash up.

Fifteen minutes later, a boy in simple home clothes appeared at the kitchen door, already in good spirits.

"Are you awake?" Tang Rui turned around.

"En." Zhou Yuze stepped forward, hugged him from behind, resting his chin on his shoulder.

"Is there any discomfort?" Tang Rui asked.

"Very good." Zhou Yuze pursed his lips, and tightened his arms around his waist.

"Would you like to help?" Tang Rui patted his arm, calmly turning over the egg rolls in the pan.

"Okay." Zhou Yuze let go of him, and looked at the bread, vegetables and ham on the counter with great interest.

"There's a new apron over there." Tang Rui pointed to the bamboo basket by the door.

"Yeah." Zhou Yuze turned around and looked through it, and sure enough, he found a package that hadn't been opened yet.

Tang Rui hummed and put the fried omelette on the plate.

"Senior! What is this!" Zhou Yuze raised his voice.

"Apron, Xiao Zhou doesn't like this look?" Tang Rui turned around and replied with a smile.

"I..." Zhou Yuze's face was flushed, and he was holding a... gorgeous pink apron with lace trim and two cute little bears printed on it.

After a long while, the boy squeezed the apron tightly and said in a low voice, "Why would you buy such a thing, senior?"

"Ah, I originally bought it for Xiaoyan who said she wanted to learn how to cook, but she didn't even take it apart." Tang Rui shrugged and said helplessly, "Shouldn't little girls like this?"

Zhou Yuze wanted to say that a girl like Tang Yan would definitely not like this...

"Well, Xiao Zhou will just make it up." Tang Rui said.

Zhou Yuze sighed, shook off the apron and put it on, anyway, Tang Yan wasn't going home, and there was no one else here.

"It's quite suitable." Tang Rui stroked his chin and looked him up and down.

"Senior, don't laugh." Zhou Yuze took the spatula from him, and put the ham in the pan to fry.

"Yo, you've learned well." Tang Rui praised.

Although it was a simple breakfast and his movements were stiff, considering that he couldn't even chop vegetables not long ago, it was pretty good.

Zhou Yuze raised his hand to push the fallen hair back behind his ears, and the corners of his lips curved slightly.

Tang Rui took out the chopping board and began to cut lettuce, while chuckling, "Wear this apron and cook with me at night."

"Okay." Zhou Yuze glanced at him, and said a little aggrieved, "Does senior like to tease me so much?"

"Yeah, of course..." Tang Rui leaned over and whispered in his ear, "It would be better if he only wore this apron."

"Senior!" Zhou Yuze's hands trembled, almost flipping the ham out of the pot.

This person... tossing himself in different ways last night wasn't enough...

"Haha." Tang Rui couldn't help laughing, held his hand, put the ham on the toasted slice of bread, then covered it with sliced ​​lettuce, covered it with another slice of bread, and cut it diagonally, it was simple He brought the sandwiches together with the omelette to the long table in the living room, took out two cups of warmed milk from the microwave, and finally took two apples by the way.

Zhou Yuze took off his apron and put it back into the bamboo basket, he was relieved and felt much more at ease.

"Suddenly I feel like I haven't been so free for a long time." Tang Rui said vaguely with a sandwich in his mouth.

"Is senior going out this afternoon?" Zhou Yuze asked.

"Hmm...Xiao Zhou wants to go out?" Tang Rui asked after thinking about it.

"Staying at home is fine." Zhou Yuze said.

Tang Rui narrowed his eyes, very satisfied with his attitude of taking this place as his own naturally.

After breakfast was quickly settled, Zhou Yuze consciously packed up the tableware and went to the kitchen to wash it.

Tang Rui half leaned on the sofa. How long has it been since she relaxed so much... A few years ago, when Xiao Yan was at home, it was a bit lively, but since Tang Yan was admitted to the Central Military Academy and began to live on campus, it has become deserted. .

"Senior, what are you thinking about?" Zhou Yuze sat beside him, his rolled up sleeves were still not put down because of washing dishes.

"I was thinking, how much is the salary of the brigadier general?" Tang Rui held the military rank badge on the coffee table and tossed it in his hand.

"Senior is short of money?" Zhou Yuze asked doubtfully, "Earlier, Xiao Jiang told me that senior obtained 50 credits from the spies of the empire...well, enough for ordinary people to live for more than ten years, right?"

"That's not half blackmailed by that bastard Zuo Shaobai." Tang Rui curled his lips, very confident.

Zhou Yuze was speechless, senior, didn't you come here by extortion... Besides, half of it is 25, how could it be so fast and short of money, what on earth did you use this money for?

"Xiao Zhou, the weather is fine today, let's go out and look at the house in the afternoon." Tang Rui mused, "It's a bit too eye-catching for us to enter and leave the e-zone like this."

"En." Zhou Yuze nodded, and said again, "Do you want to cancel the rent of the house here?"

"What rent back?" Tang Rui turned his head and wondered, "I bought this house."

"Huh?" Zhou Yuze was really stunned this time.

Although the houses in District E are cheaper than those in other places, they are also very cheap. After all, it is the capital city where every inch of land is expensive.What's more, those who can afford to buy a house are not in exile. Who would go to the E district to buy it?The size of this house is not small, and it is also very new. With this money, you can buy a slightly smaller house in District C or District D.

"Well... there's a reason for that." Tang Rui coughed dryly.

Hearing that he didn't intend to continue explaining, Zhou Yuze pouted and rubbed against him.

"You're acting like a baby again." Tang Rui smiled helplessly, and brought him over to kiss him.

"Then senior just tell me." Zhou Yuze's voice was soft, and it seemed to have the sweet taste of milk.

"Hmm..." Tang Rui rubbed his chin, pretending to be embarrassed on purpose.

Zhou Yuze thought for a while, put his arms around his neck, and leaned over him actively.

Tang Rui raised his eyebrows, enjoying his initiative.

"Brother, I'm back..." At this moment, the door opened with a bang, and Tang Yan appeared at the door carrying a large bag. Seeing this, she froze for a moment, then turned around immediately, and said loudly, "I didn't see anything , you continue, continue..."

"Okay, don't come in yet!" Tang Rui cursed with a smile.

"Ahem." Zhou Yuze coughed dryly twice, his face flushed slightly, and he subconsciously moved to the side.

"That... I really didn't see anything!" Tang Yan closed the door, shouted again, picked up her bag, and rushed into her room as if flying.

"Pfft—" Tang Rui couldn't help laughing.

Zhou Yuze covered his face, and suddenly felt his face was very hot.

Suddenly, Tang Rui frowned, took out the communicator from behind the pillow of the sofa and turned it on, and said angrily, "What are you doing?"

"It looks good." Although it was a holiday, Zuo Shaobai on the screen was still in a neat military uniform, and the background was also an office.

"Hey, I'm on vacation today." Tang Rui raised his eyebrows.

"I care about you?" Zuo Shaobai snorted coldly, "In short, you'd better come to the intelligence department, right now, immediately, immediately!"

"..." Tang Rui didn't speak, but squinted at him with an obvious rejection on his face.

"It has something to do with what happened seven years ago, are you coming?" Zuo Shaobai said.

"..." Tang Rui continued to remain silent, then dropped the word "wait" and turned off the communication.

"Senior?" Zhou Yuze asked curiously.

"I'll go to Zuo Shaobai's place." Tang Rui's face was unusually serious, and he went back to his room and changed into the clothes he was going out with. He didn't wear a military uniform, but put the military rank badge in his jacket pocket.

"Senior, is there any trouble?" Zhou Yuze asked worriedly.

"It's okay, I'll tell you when I come back." Tang Rui stroked his hair.

"Brother, do you want to go out?" Tang Yan walked out as soon as the door opened.

"What's the matter?" Tang Rui said.

"Hmm..." Tang Yan looked distressed.

"Why, tell me, if your brother can't solve it, there is Xiao Zhou." Tang Rui left a sentence very irresponsibly.

Zhou Yuze was even more speechless, he just wanted to say that if the senior couldn't solve it, it would be even more difficult for him to solve it, okay?

"But, the head of the department asked you to go..." Tang Yan lowered her head and pointed her fingers.

"What trouble did you get into again?" Tang Rui asked in surprise.

The headmaster intervened in the previous fight, so it should have been resolved, right?I believe that Lou Zhengming should have taught his own idiot son a lesson, and it is impossible for him to have the courage to trouble Tang Yan again.

"I didn't cause any trouble!" Tang Yan glared at him angrily.

"Ah, alright, alright." Tang Rui scratched his hair and said, "I have something urgent to go out, otherwise Xiao Zhou will accompany you to school."

"Huh?" Tang Yan was dumbfounded.

"I'm going?" Zhou Yuze was also surprised.

"Aren't you looking for your parents?" Tang Rui raised his eyebrows and went out, saying, "That's it."

"Brother, brother!" Tang Yan chased to the door and shouted, her expression speechless.

Let Zhou Yuze, the idol of all the students in the school, accompany her to school as a parent?She will stay in school for another two and a half years, do you want to live a life!

As for Tang Rui, who left behind a bomb, he stopped a self-driving car and went to the military headquarters regardless of what they thought.

Swipe the card and enter the door. Even though it is a holiday, the military building is still busy.

As usual, he kicked open the gate of the intelligence department. Tang Rui ignored Colonel Lou, who had a livid face, and pulled a chair over to sit.

"Look at this." Zuo Shaobai threw him a folder without any surprise.

As a result, Tang Rui frowned slightly when he turned to the first page.

Zuo Shaobai crossed his fingers against his chin, propped his elbows on the table, and said, "That man named Lu Chun is very tight-lipped. We tried all kinds of methods but didn't find much information, but that man named Sylvia The mixed-race woman admitted that she was the daughter of a prince of the empire and a woman who was a federal prisoner of war, but because of her blood relationship, although she is the daughter of a prince, she is no different from a slave, and what I know is very limited."

"Then how did you get these out?" Tang Rui asked in surprise holding up the folder.

"Of course they arrested all their accomplices." Zuo Shaobai said with a look of truth on his face.

"Hey... You must have violated the military law, right?" Tang Rui had black lines all over his head.

"How many military laws have I violated?" Zuo Shaobai sneered.

"Major General, please don't say such things in a very proud tone!" Lou Zhengming finally couldn't help but interjected.

"Don't worry about such a trivial matter." Zuo Shaobai waved his hand indifferently, and said, "By the way, you go to the conference room to prepare."

"Yes." Lou Zhengming took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, stood up, went out, and closed the door.

"Very useful subordinate? Then don't challenge people's nerves too much." Tang Rui said casually.

"It's you who challenged his nerves the most." Zuo Shaobai gave him an annoyed look, then turned serious, came to him, pointed to a few lines in the document and said, "Here, did you see it? "

"Ah." Tang Rui closed the folder abruptly, his eyes darkened, "The original text of Qianqian's notes is something that even the research institutes of the federal government don't know."

"However, the empire got it instead." Zuo Shaobai said.

"I remember that notebook was burned in front of Qianqian's cemetery," Tang Rui said.

"Ah..." Zuo Shaobai paused, then pointed to his temple, "You, me, and a few of them... still have copies in their minds."

"..." Tang Rui squeezed the folder in his hand and remained silent.

"Speaking of which, your adjutant, what are your plans?" Zuo Shaobai changed the subject.

"Hmm..." Tang Rui threw the folder back on the desk, touched his chin, and pondered, "It's really troublesome... Can't I let Xiao Zhou be my adjutant?"

"You have a good idea." Zuo Shaobai knocked him a chestnut, "If you want the Chenxi team to come over, General Mo already wants to beat you up."

"Hey, I can be considered a member of his faction now." Tang Rui spread his hands.

"Even if you don't admit it, others will see it that way." Zuo Shaobai sat back on his seat and said in a deep voice, "You must be aware of what will happen next, this time you are really prepared Bar?

"Ah." Tang Rui closed his eyes and answered after a while.

However, his tone was very firm, without any wavering.
