[Infinite Stream] Destiny Rubik's Cube

There was a flash of lightning in the sky, and black shadows were cast on the walls like ghosts of light.

A large number of reporters rushed over after hearing the news, braved the rain and swarmed in front of the huge round arched building of the alliance headquarters, waiting for the latest news.

This arched building was once a famous reunification war memorial during the Tianhe government. Interestingly, it was built to commemorate the war and was later destroyed by the war.The fact that the rebel army used its empty body as the main strategic base is probably a bit ironic.

The tactful spokesperson with a big back combed his hair and dealt with reporters from major newspapers and periodicals according to the established script, giving some truth and hints that were specious according to the usual practice.

In the conference room, Zhou Qi made necessary supplementary explanations about this long-planned emergency, and what he took was the manuscript that was verbatim from the conscientious spokesperson outside.

The people in the room were stunned, their jaws dropped, and they called out miracles, while their eyes glanced over and over again at Admiral Xu who was quietly sitting in the corner listening.If you dare not look directly at it, you will quickly take it back in a second, and then think about what posture you will use to peek at it next time.

Some senior elders once looked up at the high-ranking general from afar, but after so many years, they only vaguely remember that the epaulets on his shoulders glowed with a cold light that could not be looked at directly.As for the face, I have never really seen it clearly.

No one wanted to see him clearly.

Twenty years ago, the admiral was not so much a person who lived in people's minds as a symbol or a symbol.

Symbolizes authority, order, and invincibility.

These lost things are what the subjects and soldiers who are suffering from the war are eagerly looking forward to.

The return of the general seems to herald the return of stability and peace.

It is conceivable that the infinitely extended public opinion will rapidly ferment in a very short period of time. The general will bless the alliance with his personal prestige and win the high ground of public opinion for it before the end of the war.

Everyone's face was filled with unprecedented eagerness. They didn't dare to ask Xu Chi any questions, so they pestered Zhou Qi for a combination punch.

Two hours later, Zhou Qi's patience was exhausted, and the above-mentioned body was weak and needed to rest as an excuse, so he returned to the VIP reception room with protection.

In the reception room, Jiang Yu and a group of partners rushed up like hungry tigers and took turns giving Xu Chi a loving hug.

Zhou Qi, who was left out in the cold, held his hands by the side, with an unhappy expression on his face: "What about me?"

No one cared about him, only Young Master Jiang reluctantly shook hands with him: "It's because you held a sensational funeral and let Si Miao get out of the cave."

Ren Simiao flicked her long hair, her beautiful eyes widened: "Am I a snake? Still coming out of the hole?"

"You are not a snake, you can hide better than a snake."

"I didn't hide."

"Do you dare to say that you didn't hide from me on purpose?"

"What's wrong with hiding from you, you are so rich now, and there are a lot of women who are cheating on you, why do you want me?"

"Hmph, who is looking for you, didn't you show up by yourself?"

As soon as the couple met, they started to argue, and before the reunion drama was over, they immediately fell into the Qiong Yao-style repeater love that Che Yulu talked with eyes closed.

Leng Qiu jumped up and down and ran around Xu Chi, with a bright smile on his face, without the slightest sense of losing a loved one.

"Where are you doing all this time?" Xu Chi asked kindly.

Leng Qiu stood up straight, like a small sword being inspected, and felt a little embarrassed to touch the short ear-length hair that had been dyed back to normal black, and was cut off by Zhou Qi just as he was about to speak.

"What else can she do at her age besides going to school? Could it be that she really lived her life by cheating and abducting?"

Leng Qiu opened her mouth, choked for a moment, then suddenly turned her head, narrowing her eyes suspiciously: "How do you know I'm back to school?"

Zhou Qi's eyes wandered, he cleared his throat with an empty fist in his hand, and forced another topic: "Then what, it's too late, are you mentally prepared?"

Xu Chi: "What mental preparation?"

"that is……"

"Wait!" Leng Qiu waved his arms exaggeratedly, trying to show his presence, "Zhou, was it you who knocked me out and forced me into a sack and threw me into a closed military academy? Tell me, is it you! I should have thought about it a long time ago, no one but you can do such a dehumanizing thing!"

"You still sent her to the military academy?" Xu Chi frowned, "It's too hard for a girl to be a soldier."

"Yes, yes, uncle, look, I'm already tanned like an African native. Look at my arms, my calves, and the calluses I've worn out..." Leng Qiu complained tearfully while flicking his sleeves and trousers.

Xu Chi turned his head to look at Zhou Qi, who was looking at the sky with his hands behind his back.

Xu Chi: "Which military academy did you send her to?"

Zhou Qi: "Sandhurst."

Xu Chi: "It's better to send it to the Southwest Army Command Academy. I have worked with the founder of the academy for a short time. They pay more attention to the training of willpower."

Zhou Qi murmured, "Alright."

Leng Qiu: "?"

Leng Qiu turned around and ran away: "No one cares about my feelings, I want to sever ties with you!"

Zhou Qi sat down lazily, propping his chin with his hands: "You run. Run out of this gate, and you will never see your uncle again in the future."

"Hey, don't scare children like that." Xu Chi smoothed things over and waved gently to Leng Qiu, "You go, the world is not fair, so take care."

Leng Qiu was speechless, she understood now that her uncle and Zhou Qi were together, husband and wife!

As if being beaten and threatened by both parents, Leng Qiu suddenly became sensible. After thinking about it, she decided to endure it, sat down, pinched her fingers and calculated that if she obediently went back to the military academy, it would take her a few years to graduate early .

The five of them chatted for a while, and a chubby secretary rushed to the front hall.

The man was panting, and said something close to Zhou Qi's ear, Zhou Qi nodded sadly: "It's okay, what should come will always come."

Then he stood up, took off his suit jacket, and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt to his elbows.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yu was a little nervous when he saw his posture, "The enemy attacked?"

"No." Zhou Qi looked at death as if at home, and waved away unrelated people, "Everyone, let's stop here first for today's reminiscences. This kind secretary will take you to the place where you live to rest. Zhou has family matters at the moment. Deal with it, whether I can come out alive after dealing with it depends on God's will, if I die heroically, you can help me take care of my wife."

The wife, Xu Chi, pouted, obviously not satisfied with this title.

After all, Jiang Yu is a spirit who has experienced house fighting, and he suddenly understood, and said to Zhou Qi in a low voice: "Actually, if there are outsiders present when handling family affairs, it may save your life."

"Let's go, hurry up." Zhou Qi kicked his ass, "My father has a hot temper, he's late, and he'll get shot with you."

The three shrank their necks and walked out slowly.

Only Xu Chi and Zhou Qi were left in the reception room.

Xu Chi leaned against the wall and laughed, "Lieutenant Zhou won't do anything to you."

"I know, it's impossible to really get shot." Zhou Qi leaned forward, sucked Xu Chi's cheek quickly, and said frankly, "I'm just a little nervous."

"nervous?"

"Well, I'm nervous, and a little excited." Zhou Qi looked into Xu Chi's eyes, and the pores all over his body revealed a serious atmosphere. "Today, I want to confess our relationship with my father."

"Actually, you don't need to rush..."

"No, I've already made up my mind." Zhou Qi insisted, he took Xu Chi's hand, and tightened it tightly, "Escape after escape, it's really not my style to hide, I'm almost suffocating these days Now, meeting you is like being a thief. Besides, if I don’t even have the courage, what am I going to do with you?”

Xu Chi rubbed the back of his neck with one hand, and listened with his head bowed. His always cold heart seemed to be roasted by heat. He hummed lightly, and held Zhou Qi's hand instead.Hope this gives him a little strength.

As soon as Zhou Xingzhi learned that the general was still alive, he rushed from the front of the battle in a hurry, got out of the car, and blew through the door like a whirlwind.

As soon as he came in and saw the familiar face, he was stunned for a while, rushed forward to squeeze Zhou Qi away, and hugged Xu Chi solemnly: "Admiral!"

"Lieutenant Zhou is safe and sound."

When Xu Chi saw Zhou Xingzhi at first glance, he hardly recognized him. The former young subordinate now had white beard and hair, and deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. His vocal cords trembled.

He caressed his back, which was not as thick as before, and suddenly felt that the stagnant time in his body finally flowed slowly at this moment.

"You..." Zhou Xingzhi took a few steps back, his eyes were hazy, he looked Xu Chi up and down, his eyes were red, "You are still so young. You haven't changed at all, really haven't changed at all Change. Hmph, it's really unfair, look at me, I'm so old that I quit drinking!"

Time did not leave traces on Xu Chi, but wasted the lives of others.

When the abstract concept of 20 years of time was transformed into concrete things, such as a white hair or a wrinkle of a relative or friend, Xu Chi had a personal experience: Ah, so they have lived for so long.

"You're still the same." Xu Chi teased, "Your shirt will never fit into your trouser waist."

"Damn, isn't this coming in a hurry?"

Zhou Xingzhi blushed, and immediately stood at attention, straightened his appearance, put his right fist on his heart, and performed a standard old military salute of the Redemption Corps, just like before.After finishing all this, when he spoke again, his voice was choked with sobs: "Zhou Xingzhi, the former lieutenant of the Gray Whale Army of the Redemption Corps, reported the completion of the mission to the general. In the siege of Yigong 20 years ago, his subordinates were lucky enough to rescue Yuan Yuan. Yuan Qi, the youngest son of Baidao. Since then, his subordinates have been hiding in secret all year round, brought him by his side, changed his name to Zhou Qi and brought him up, that is, the brat standing in front of you now. After the mission report, please give instructions!"

"Thank you." Xu Chi pressed Zhou Xingzhi's shoulder and praised, "You completed the task very well. Thank you, thank you for saving him."

"Thank you so much... I haven't seen you for many years, why is the general more humane..."

As he said that, Lieutenant Zhou's shoulders collapsed visibly to the naked eye. He has struggled for many years with a belief, wandering in a dilemma between morality and emotion, and day after day he indulged in the guilt of his wife and children.One day, his persistence finally paid off.In an instant, as if a heavy burden had been lifted, an unnecessary emptiness took advantage of the gap, and he suddenly swayed and fell to the ground.

"Lieutenant!"

"Dad!" Zhou Qi rushed over to help him up.

Zhou Xingzhi shook his head and made a gesture that I was fine, then bent over and brushed the dust off his legs: "I'm just so happy, I'm so happy. It's like this when I'm older, just a little bit emotionally..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Xingzhi suddenly thought of something, raised his thick eyebrows, narrowed his eyes, and clamped Zhou Qi's arm: "Wait, what did you say to me before?"

Zhou Qi felt guilty and scratched his nose: "What did I say?"

"Didn't you say that the person you hid is my daughter-in-law?" Zhou Xingzhi was afraid that Xu Chi would hear it, so he lowered his voice, "Stinky boy, you dare to make fun of the general, don't you think your life is too long? ?!"

Zhou Qi lowered his eyes: "I'm not joking."

"I'm not kidding!" Zhou Xingzhi slapped him across the face, "The general has been lying in your room for half a year, and you have kept it from me for so long!"

"Dad." Zhou Qi rubbed the back of his head, "Think about why I kept it from you."

"How do I know why you..." Zhou Xingzhi suddenly got stuck, looked back at the general who was watching with folded arms, and then turned back to look at Zhou Qi, feeling that his brain was not enough, "Yeah, why are you hiding it from me?"

"Because I haven't figured out how to tell you at that time." Zhou Qi found that using euphemism with Zhou Xingzhi would not work at all, so he had to bite the bullet and get straight to the point, "Okay, let me just say it, I love him. "

Zhou Qi extended his arm and pointed at Xu Chi.

Xu Chi avoided his eyes.

He was a little embarrassed when he was confessed bluntly in front of his old subordinates.

"Don't point at people like that, be polite." Zhou Xingzhi slapped his hand away, not paying attention, "You're the only one who loves you? Go out and ask, who doesn't love the general?"

"Can my love be the same as those people outside?" Zhou Qi was startled, he really overestimated his father's straight man's EQ.

The three were silent for a while.

Zhou Xingzhi seemed to be coming back, his complexion turned from rosy to livid, his tone was flat, and there was a faint tendency to explode: "Your love? What kind of love is different from ours? Do you know what nonsense you are talking about!"

Zhou Qi took a deep breath and took a step closer, looking directly at Zhou Xingzhi, Xu Chi saw that his hands clenched tightly to the seam of his trousers formed fists.

The strings in Zhou Xingzhi's mind also slowly tensed.

He started to realize what was wrong.

"I don't just love him." Zhou Qilang said as if he wanted to announce to the people of the whole country, clenching his fists even tighter, "Just like the thoughts that all men in the world will naturally have when facing the woman they love, I also want to sleep with him .”

These words were sonorous and forceful, with a loud voice.

Xu Chi was stunned, then raised his head suddenly, a little blood spread from his earlobe.If the situation allows, he may also raise his hand to cover his face.

"boom!"

The iron fist that broke through the wind hit the protruding cheekbones directly, Zhou Qi was beaten to the side of the head, and staggered back two steps.

"Do you know what bastard words you are talking about?" Zhou Xingzhi scolded in a low voice, looking anxious, "I have taught you this way since you were a child?! You offended the general, so hurry up and apologize!"

For a long time, Zhou Xingzhi raised Zhou Qi as his own son, and even deliberately avoided treating him as a noble son of the royal family.When he was young, he was afraid that any estrangement would form a barrier and hurt the child's sensitive heart. When he grew up, he was afraid that Zhou Qi would become arrogant due to his special status and accidentally go astray.Over time, the father and son formed a specific way of getting along, simple, rough and effective.

Now he punched this, completely out of the natural reaction of a father when he was angry.

After the beating, his eyes touched the bloody mouth and stubborn eyes of the opponent, and he suddenly realized that Zhou Qi was no longer the seven-year-old child he protected under his wings.

He was a head taller than him.

"Dad, listen to me, a lot of things have happened between us, I'm not impulsive..."

"Ridiculous!" Zhou Xingzhi was so angry that his hands shook, "I think you are sick!"

He looked at Zhou Qi as if Zhou Qi really had some strange disease, and Zhou Qi froze in place, unable to say anything.

He looked at Xu Chi, and Xu Chi signaled him to calm down with his eyes.

"You go out first." Xu Chi lifted his chin and tapped towards the door.

Zhou Qi wiped the blood stains from the corner of his mouth with his thumb, and went out dejectedly like a defeated rooster.

There were only two senior officers in the room who hadn't seen each other for a long time. Xu Chi was silent for a long time, and said softly, "You don't have to blame him."

"Admiral..."

"If it's wrong, it's my fault. I can't let him go."

Zhou Xingzhi put his hands on his hips, too surprised to say a word.

"He didn't mean to offend me." Xu Chi raised his hand and touched his earlobe, "Everything is with my permission. If you blame him now, I will feel bad."
