back to Earth

Is this provocation, disdain, or irony?

Cheng Zhen couldn't accurately guess the mind of the person in front of him, but he didn't want to be so contemptuous.Other people's ridicule is just gossip to Cheng Zhen, but only in front of this emperor-level powerhouse, Cheng Zhen doesn't want him to feel weak.

"Why are you so sure?" He raised his eyes and stared at Rhine, with an unyielding persistence in his eyes.

Looking at such a black-haired boy, it was much more pleasing to the eye than the limp and powerless look before.The inexplicable smoldering fire in Rhine's heart eased slightly, and she replied.

"How much strength can a person who is distracted by trivial matters show?"

Taking off the goggles, and looking directly at the person in front of him with light golden eyes, Rhine said in a low voice. "If you keep being bothered by unnecessary things like this, it will make me regret the decision I made that day."

"It's not a meaningless thing! What do you know!" The depression and anxiety that had been suppressed in his heart made Cheng Zhen couldn't help but fight back after hearing Rhine's words.

However, as soon as he said it, he couldn't help regretting it.No matter what his status is, he is not qualified to speak in such a tone to an emperor-level powerhouse.And for no reason, venting the irritability in his heart to another person is something he himself despises.

Therefore, after Cheng Zhen blurted out that very emotional sentence, Rhine himself hadn't reacted yet, but Cheng Zhen himself was dumbfounded.

Feeling the cold aura emanating from the Golden Clan on the opposite side, the black-haired boy couldn't help but think, perhaps this negligence is irreparable this time.According to the unfathomable temper of the United Front Commander, it is really possible that the permission to form an alliance may be withdrawn.

"A mecha pilot who can't control his emotions can't challenge the emperor." The light golden eyes without emotion glanced at Cheng Zhen. After leaving this comment, Rhine walked out without hesitation .The resolute and upright black figure gradually disappeared at the end of the battleship aisle.

Cheng Zhen was left alone standing in front of the viewing window.

Looking at his own figure reflected on the window, the black-haired boy smiled wryly at himself in the reflection.

Really failed today.Cheng Zhen let out a low sigh as he turned his gaze to the deep black universe that was painted with dots of ink outside the window.

First, he broke up with senior Inver, and then he couldn't bear to vent his anger on other people at will.No matter what Cheng Zhen thinks, he just feels that he is still not mature enough.Even with the memory of the previous life, it is not omnipotent.

Fingers caressed the huge outer window, groping the cold window little by little.Looking at the dark and endless universe, it was the first time that Cheng Zhen missed his hometown so deeply.It's not just the [-]th district of the Human Alliance where there are relatives, but what he misses even more is the home planet where he once lived--Earth.

When human beings are in a low mood, they always like to think about things that make them feel warm.As Cheng Zhen thought about it, layers of unconcealable bitterness welled up in his heart.From a long time ago, he felt that for a race, the mother planet is not only the birthplace of birth, but also the spiritual sustenance of everyone in this race.More than once, Cheng Zhen rejoiced at his luck, at least he still lived on that blue planet.

But now, the memory of having this warmth only made him feel even more lonely.

Children who leave their mothers, even if they can survive alone, will still be homesick.

Can't control your emotions?Cheng Zhen recalled the words Rhine Bertutan said before he left, and he couldn't help showing a little sarcasm.

Perhaps there is something correct in what His Excellency the Chief of the United Front said, and it is true that some emotions cannot be easily swayed on the battlefield.But sometimes, those important and memorable emotions don't need to be discarded.Because relying on them can make people have the courage to fight and the persistence to protect.

But it seemed that the cold-faced United Front Commander never showed his emotions easily, and he rarely cared about outsiders.Maybe you don't understand the emotion.

Cheng Zhen thought about it, and was suddenly taken aback.Carefully recalling Rhine's every move after talking to him.

Why would an emperor-level powerhouse who has always been reticent suddenly care about a human's mood?Even "kindly" give advice?

Could it be... Could it be that he was trying to comfort me just now?Shivering because of his own thoughts, Cheng Zhen looked in the direction Rhine left.After being yelled suddenly by himself, the united front commander did not give any response, leaving only a comment of "can't beat the emperor class" and left.

Could it be said that this is a stimulus or an incentive?

Looking at the empty aisle, Cheng Zhen suddenly chuckled.To be comforted by unexpected people is really a feeling of being patted on the forehead by a machine as strong as steel.It might feel awkward, but it's not annoying.

Perhaps this United Front Commander, His Excellency, is not as cold and tough as he thought before.Perhaps, he occasionally has a soft side, but this softness is also deeply hidden under the indestructible strength, and few people can touch it.

The depressed mood before was relieved a lot, and Cheng Zhen seemed to be enlightened.As for the problem between him and Senior Inver that had been bothering him, the black-haired boy thought about it and felt that it would not be difficult to reconcile.After all, the Vail people have thin skins, as long as they persevere with human perseverance and never get discouraged, there will always be times when they will impress Senior Inver.But this time, I must explain it to him.

Cheng Zhen, who had made up his mind, suddenly felt a little tired.In order to be more energetic and prepare for the plan to be implemented tomorrow, he decided to go back and take a rest.

On the other hand, Rhine, who had returned to his office, suddenly called Reina over.

Looking at the captain of the human treatment team standing in front of him, the United Front Commander asked calmly. "You humans, generally when you encounter something, you become depressed?"

"Well, what about this?" Reina touched his chin and thought for a while before replying. "It varies from person to person, and the situation will be slightly different. But in general, there are only two categories-career and relationship."

After a moment of silence, Rhine continued to ask. "What kind of feelings?"

"This is really profound." Uncle Renner laughed twice. "However, for teenagers who are in the development period, what can bother them should be love. Human beings are different from the Bertutans. From our point of view, love is a mysterious and indescribable thing. Since ancient times , how many people are fascinated by it..."

Reina, who was immersed in his love explanation, didn't notice at all that his own official's face was as dark as ink.

He actually delayed himself because of the love between the sexes?Recalling the sad face of the black-haired boy before, Rhine couldn't stop bursting with anger.

For the golden family whose marriage is based on genetic matching, love is simply a worthless burden, and marriage is only for the purpose of multiplying offspring and continuing the race.And a talented person with potential that I fancy would easily shake his emotions because of such useless things.In Rhine's view, this is definitely the biggest weakness of being a strong person.

The moment he recognized Cheng Zhen's strength, Rhine Bertutan had already separated the boy from everyone else.Nothing about his race, identity, or origin.Rhine only regards him as a mech pilot with great potential, and perhaps, he can grow into an opponent worth fighting in the future.

And people who have been recognized by themselves will actually hurt themselves because of this emotion.Rhine looked up at Reina who was still talking to himself, immersed in his own world.

Your Excellency the Chief of the United Front once again feels that feelings, especially things like love, are really an eyesore.

On the second day after boarding the Ysu battleship, all the participants in the Clemson Academy noticed something strange.The human teenager, who didn't like being in public places before, started to cling to the chief of the Vail tribe.And the black-haired chief of the Vatican tribe, who had a decent attitude towards the human boy before, has become indifferent to him now.

All of a sudden, these two people became the focus of everyone's attention.

Cheng Zhen never minded other people's eyes, and it was naturally the same at this time.Seeing that Inver was pretending to be indifferent and unwilling to talk to him, he didn't look for boredom, but just found a closer seat, sat next to Inver and started to deal with his own affairs.

Inver usually likes to read some materials in the common room, and will always stay for two or three hours at a time, during which Cheng Zhen also dutifully stays by his side like a guard.

From the point of view of the black-haired boy, if he wants the chief of the Vaer clan with high self-esteem to be willing to talk to him, he must first let the other party understand his sincerity.And Ben also caused the other party's dissatisfaction because of his own negligence, so he should show his sincerity first.

Cheng Zhen has already decided to keep waiting at close range until Senior Inver is willing to listen to his explanation seriously again.In his opinion, he just didn't want to lose such a sincere friend, but in the eyes of other people around him, this situation seemed a bit weird.

So on the third day, even the command room of the Ysu battleship heard weird rumors about these two.

Standing outside the common room, Rhine looked at the two people sitting very close inside and frowned.

"Human love, doesn't it care about gender?"

Reina looked at the situation inside, and then looked at the expression of His Excellency the United Front Commander, suddenly realized, and coughed a few times. "It's not like this happens. Same-sex love has existed since ancient times."

After finishing speaking, he saw His Excellency United Front Work Chief frowned even deeper, and hastily added another sentence. "However, even if the other party is not human, it is possible to develop feelings of love with a human being of the same sex. There have been examples of this before."

Renner didn't know that Cheng Zhen was the only human participant here, so he thought that Inver, who was seated with him, was also human.Seeing Rhine's repeated performances and the discontent at this time, the captain of the treatment team misunderstood him completely, and he completely thought of another level.

Rhine looked coldly at the two people sitting next to each other inside, reconfirmed his mind, and looked at Rainer. "In the past few days, find a way for me to separate these two people."

Reina snickered inwardly, but said solemnly on the surface. "Yes, sir!"

After Rhine gave her orders, she left without looking back, as if she didn't want to look any further.

Therefore, he didn't notice the ambiguous expressions of his subordinates behind him.Renner glanced at Inver who was seated with Cheng Zhen, shook his head and sighed. "It's not that I want to beat the mandarin ducks. Who told you that your rival in love is my immediate superior or the United Front Commander of Interstellar? Love also requires capital, young man."

Shaking his head, Reina laughed maliciously a few times, turned around and left quickly.He just found out this amazing news, and he needs to share it with someone!

All kinds of rumors intensified, and at the same time, the three people in the center of the vortex didn't notice them at all.

Cheng Zhen was just troubled, why he couldn't see Senior Inver these two days, and the plan to get himself forgiven couldn't be implemented smoothly.

Rhine is silently satisfied with the efficiency of his subordinates. In his opinion, as long as he is not dragged down by the burden of feelings, Cheng Zhen can reach a higher position.

As for Inver...

For some reason, people from the treatment team have always come to him these days, dragging him to undergo various physical examinations, but they still can't refuse.The black-haired chief of the Vanir tribe looked a little pale because of the blood tests that had been done for several days.

In this silent turmoil, everyone finally arrived at the final destination - the core star field.
