Boundary Shattered [Interstellar]

Tang Chu didn't know how he came here. Before his eyes was a pile of gray fog, and the surrounding was very noisy, as if there were countless people whispering in his ears. .

He walked forward, feeling full of grievances, but he forgot why he was wronged.

The gray mist was broken by his walking body, and something gradually appeared.

A vague human face flashed across Tang Chu's face.The human face looked at him with hatred, and a rude curse came out of his mouth:

"You go! Leave our base! You hateful dictator!"

"Leave our base! You moth of the base!"

Countless faces that seemed to have been seen before crossed in front of him with curses and accusations:

"Get out, get out of here!"

"We don't need you."

"We don't need you!"

"Go away, go far away, we don't need you."

"do not need you……"

Tang Chu looked at these faces blankly, trying to identify a clearer one.These seem to be the people he saved in the last days. He led these people to establish a base, tried his best to protect them, collected things for them, and protected them for almost ten years...

But, no one thanks him, no one treats him with sincerity.He has left that world now, and probably no one remembers him.

Tang Chu squatted down slowly, hugging his knees like a child.

Can he really not do it?Does he only make people shout and beat him?

No matter how much he does for others, no matter how much he pays, will he never get the respect and gratitude of even one person?

Is this inevitable, or is it just that the people he once protected are not worthy of his protection?

Tang Chu woke up suddenly when he was dragged away from the quilt, sat up "teng", and shouted:

"Lian Ting!"

It was Ren Chi's voice that came from the side: "Good boy, I'm not Lian Ting, I'm Ren Chi, why are you crying..."

Before he finished speaking, Tang Chu gave him a hard look.Tang Chu grabbed the quilt abruptly, covered his head and continued to sleep.

Ren Chi pulled him up: "Don't sleep! I'm going to take the test. If I'm not here, you can't get out of the dormitory, or are you going to stay here all night? Won't the general be worried?"

Tang Chu muttered aggrievedly: "He won't be worried..." Ren Chi tugged him again, Tang Chu turned over and got out of bed, and threw the quilt towards Ren Chi:

"Back to you!"

"Hello!" It took Ren Chi a long time to free himself from the quilt, and Tang Chu was no longer in the dormitory.

Tang Chu walked out of Ren Chi's dormitory, and was blown by the wind, and only then felt the corners of his eyes were cold; he wiped some water stains off. .

Tang Chu frowned, and quickly wiped it on his body, denying that it came from his eyes.

At this time, there was a small test, and Tang Chu's terminal received the notification. There was nothing to do, and he didn't want to go home, so he went to the test room.

It was mid-afternoon, the light was bright, and the sky was blue.Tang Chu looked up for a while, rubbed his neck, and when he lowered his head, he suddenly saw a magnified face in front of him.

Startled, Tang Chu reflexively punched him.Tang Tao on the opposite side didn't expect Tang Chu to attack him, so he quickly caught his fist.Tang Chu got excited and cut his arm backhand.Tang Tao struggled hard, but couldn't break free, and said angrily:

"Tang Chu! What are you doing, let me go!"

Tang Chu pouted, let go of him, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly:

"No, boy, studying politics has delayed you, alas. This weak chicken can't pass both moves, and he is a genius who skipped a grade."

Tang Tao glared at him, rubbed his shoulders, and then turned his gaze to inquiry.

"Brother, you are...really different from before. Could it be that you died once and became enlightened?"

Tang Chu sneered, "Did once? Which time do you mean?"

When Tang Chu walked into the classroom, Tang Tao's gaze from behind was still on him.He turned suddenly and said:

"You, it's better to just treat me as dead, so as not to be sad later... Oh, everyone in the Tang family doesn't have much feelings, whether they die or get hurt... Tsk, that's it."

Tang Tao was puzzled.

The examination room is arranged by various departments. Each person has an instrument, and after scanning the terminal, they will be given the questions of their respective majors.The proctors are robots, one at the front and one at the back. Their big copper bell-like eyes turn back and forth to monitor whether the testers are cheating.

Soon, Tang Chu knew that it was a wrong decision for him to take the exam.

He obviously overestimated his level of study in less than half a year. Although Tang Chu was interested in the practice of mechanical manufacturing, the short period of time he studied obviously failed to make up for the foundation of the previous four years.Tang Chu tried to do only the questions he knew, but after a few minutes, there were still 70.00% blanks.

Tang Chu: "..." There is nothing to love in life.

Sitting obliquely in front of him, Tang Tao worked on the questions very quickly, almost without thinking about each question.It's a pity that he and Tang Chu don't have the same major, even if they read the other's answers, it doesn't help him in the exam.

——But Tang Chu looked at Tang Tao from the corner of his eye, and caught a glimpse of a person outside the window.

It was this person who made Tang Chu straighten up for a moment, and turned his gaze away from Tang Tao, and stared at the question in front of him seriously, with his fingers on the input board, pretending to write the answer indiscriminately.

Lianting is here!

Lian Ting actually asked him to come to the school!

Now Lian Ting is watching him from the window!

On the surface, Tang Chu was seriously working on the problem, but in fact his mind had already wandered away.He sometimes thought flatteringly, Lian Ting was still worried about him, so he found him here?Sometimes grievances pop up again, so what if Lian Ting finds him, he still won't be willing to participate in military exercises by himself, and he only finds him because he is his "friend", not because he likes him.

Just thinking about it like this, while writing the answer indiscriminately, the exam time is up.

Only then did Tang Chu come to his senses. The test papers had been uniformly received into the system, and the completion rate was [-]%.

What did he write?

Forget it, it's good to be able to finish it.Tang Chu thought optimistically.

People left the examination room one after another, but Tang Chu sat in his original position without moving.It wasn't until Tang Chu was the only one left in the classroom that everyone was gone, and then he walked out slowly.

Lian Ting immediately greeted him.

He was wearing light gray home clothes and a brown hat that could cover half of his face, making him look very soft.Tang Chu couldn't help thinking to himself that this was the appearance of Lian Ting, which no one else in the entire empire had ever seen except him.It's just that while he felt proud, he still couldn't help thinking dejectedly, what's the use, Lian Ting just wanted to draw a clear line with himself.

Lian Ting would take care of him and worry about him, but he just didn't want to get involved in his affairs.

Or treat him as an outsider?

Lian Ting raised the brim of his hat and looked up at Tang Chu.Tang Chu turned his face away and did not meet his gaze.

Lian Ting took Tang Chu's sleeve and said in a slow tone:

"Go back and talk to me, okay?"

Tang Chu shook his wrist, but failed to shake off Lian Ting's hand.He breathed out:

"I'm angry, so I don't want to talk about it."

Lian Ting said helplessly: "Then how can you not be angry and talk to me? - If you want to participate in military exercises with me, you have to wait until we finish talking before making a decision, okay?"

Tang Chu suddenly leaned over and stared straight into Lian Ting's eyes.

Lian Ting's pupils are dark black, with unfathomable whirlpools, as if they want to attract people into them.Lian Ting's eyebrows are straight, drawn into the temples like a sharp sword, which makes people want to describe; Lian Ting's lips are a little thin, the lip shape is beautiful, and the color is a little pink, people can't help but want to paint It sucks into a brilliant red.

But Tang Chu didn't do any of these.

Tang Chu took these desires to offend Lian Ting as a kind of courageous motivation, just next to the classroom of the First Military Academy where people passed by from time to time, in this bright afternoon weather, Tang Chu suddenly raised his hand to hold Lian Ting shoulders, solemnly said:

"I like you. If you promise to be with me, I won't be angry."

Later, the two of them still planned to finish the conversation first before talking about whether they would agree to the confession.

What Tang Chu didn't know was that on the way to the restaurant, Lian Ting clenched his fists nervously, and the corners of his clothes were clenched into balls.

Tang Chu suddenly decided on the way: "Let's go home, I'll cook for you."

Lian Ting nodded in agreement.

Tang Chu came back to his senses, and when he thought of the confession he didn't care about just now, he was so nervous that his palms were sweating.

But he has no regrets.

After the silence along the way, he already figured it out, even if Lian Ting rejected his confession, so what, he can continue to pursue, as long as he can pursue someone, it doesn't matter a little setback.Moreover, Lian Ting's answer just now was not rejection, but "make a decision after talking", so can it be understood that Lian Ting doesn't hate his confession, but... has some concerns that need to be clarified?

So Tang Chu searched on Xingwang. Under normal circumstances, what would happen after a confession.

The most common answer is... There will be a shot.

Tang Chu didn't dare to think about it, for fear that his brother would stand up in public, so he just secretly had fun, and then decided to change the place of conversation from the restaurant to his home.

This way... just in case you want to do something, it will be more convenient.

Tang Chu tried his best and finally cooked six dishes, which he was best at.His cooking skills are not very good, it can only be said that he can eat, but fortunately, Lian Ting has never looked down on him.

After the tableware was set, Tang Chu sat upright across from the pavilion.

Lian Ting originally just wanted to talk to Tang Chu and comfort him, but when he saw Tang Chu's seriousness, his whole body tensed up.

Tang Chu took a deep breath and said, "It's time to start, Lianting."

If you don't know what they are going to talk about, you will think that this posture is a very serious political negotiation.

Lian Ting clenched his hands under the table, which was a rare expression of his uneasiness.

"Then let's...let's start by talking about your desire to participate in military exercises."

"The team standard for the military exercise is 100 people including the captain. I am going to lead my current subordinates—they were originally star thieves. Citizens have too much prejudice against them, and they can't be regarded as Legion of Glory now. People; if I plan to let them enroll in the Legion of Glory smoothly in the future... Sorry, I said too much."

It was only then that Lian Ting realized that his nervousness in the face of Tang Chu was not as simple as pinching his fingers.
