Chapter 35: CH 39

T/N: Thank you Tash and CattyCoopster for sponsoring 2 extra releases of SMM this week! Lots of excitement with the dinner party coming up.

Rays of the setting sun streaked across the sky from the west.

The pure black AA00001 galloped at high speed in the afterglow of the sunset.

Inside the car, Xu Xinghe sat by the window, admiring the scenery of the golden sunset for a while, then turned around and asked Ling Changfeng, “Where is your class reunion?”

Ling Changfeng replied, “A private club in the eastern suburbs.”

“It still sounds like a very high-end place.” Xu Xinghe looked down at his denim jacket and asked, “Doesn’t this kind of high-end club require formal attire?”

Some high-end restaurants also require diners to abide by a dress code in order to enter.

Ling Changfeng thought for a while: “It seems that there is such a request.”

“Ah?!!” ​​Xu Xinghe sat up straight, “Then why didn’t you say it earlier?”

“It’s okay.” Ling Changfeng said lightly. “They didn’t ask, you can wear whatever you want.”

“Oh.” Xu Xinghe leaned back on his seat and continued to ask, “A total of nine people with us included?”

Ling Changfeng nodded: “En.”

“What do you usually do at a party?”

“Eat.”

“And what else?”

“Chat.”

Xu Xinghe: “…” It sounds a little boring.

“No other entertainment?” he asked.

Ling Changfeng’s tone paused slightly: “They do.”

“They? What about you?” Xu Xinghe blinked curiously.

Ling Changfeng replied without squinting: “I don’t participate.”

Xu Xinghe: “…” Although it sounds outrageous, this is reasonable given Ling Changfeng’s style.

He wanted to ask more, when he heard Ling Changfeng say, “We’re here.”

The pure black flying car slowly landed on the blue-gray stone steps.

Through the cloister and the gate is a secluded and far-reaching courtyard in front.

The courtyard is full of greenery. The carefully tended plants and viewing rocks adorned the courtyard just right, seeming elegant and generous.

There are also two red and white koi in the pond in the center of the courtyard, each of which is more than one meter long, swimming flexibly in the pond.

There was a fresh fragrance of grass and trees in the air, Xu Xinghe took a deep breath, and could not help sighing. “It’s a great environment here.”

The staff in charge of the reception smiled and nodded to the two of them, and then led them inside.

In the echoing silence as they walked, Xu Xinghe wondered why the reunion was held here. It’s not that this place is bad, on the contrary, the environment here is very good, and this kind of quiet courtyard is definitely an excellent choice for peace of mind.

But holding a noisy class reunion here… even the fish in the pond will be shocked.

Could it be that Ling Changfeng and his classmates were just gathering for a quiet meal without making any noise or fuss?

Xu Xinghe thought about it, and suddenly several pictures of Ling Changfeng sitting and eating with people suddenly appeared in his mind.

As if surrounded by several icebergs, it can instantly lower the surrounding temperature by more than ten degrees.

It wasn’t until he stepped into the room that Xu Xinghe realized that he thought too much.

As soon as the door of the outermost suite opened, the sound of noise rushed towards him.

Across the small box door that was hidden in front, one could hear Qin Yuan angrily yelling: “Are you done yet?”

“Not finished, we are really curious about this matter – you were the first among us to start dating, so why are you the last single?”

“Hahahaha, don’t just talk nonsense, Lin Ting. Introduce another one to Lao Qin.”

“How many have I introduced to him? I’ve become a love agency.”

“Boo! I don’t need your introduction!”

Xu Xinghe outside the door: “…”

Sure enough, the atmosphere of everyone’s class reunion was similar.

He looked back at the door he had just entered.

The outermost wall here must be built with special sound insulation materials, and the sound in the room is completely isolated. Ordinary buildings can’t achieve this quality of sound insulation.

The banter in the box continued.

“Having said that, Lao Qin, it’s not the most outrageous thing that you are single. The most outrageous thing is that Changfeng is married and you are still single.”

“Yeah, I used to think that Changfeng would be the one who might not even get married, let alone married late. He doesn’t seem to have any worldly desire at all.”

“Changfeng’s spouse is given by the mastermind, can it be the same?”

“Why is it different? This marriage was possible because he nodded and agreed. Didn’t the mastermind assign someone to Lao Qin? As a result, after seeing the other party’s information, this guy felt that their personalities were not suitable. In the end, he gave up trying to find someone and deleted his name from the matching list.”

“Speaking of which, why did Changfeng agree? He and his spouse should not have met before then, right? With his character, how could he accept a matching marriage?”

“You’re asking me? Who do I ask?”

“Aren’t you his adjutant? A roundworm in his stomach.”

“Don’t, don’t, I don’t dare to take this title. I asked this question on the first day he agreed, but there was no result. If you still want to know, you can ask him again in a bit. But don’t ask so bluntly, after all, Xinghe is still there.”

Outside the door, Xu Xinghe was stunned for a moment.

He turned his head to look at Ling Changfeng, who was still standing there like a pine tree with an expressionless face.

It turns out that they really have a choice about matched marriages.

So, why did Ling Changfeng agree in the first place?

While Xu Xinghe was in a daze, he suddenly felt that Ling Changfeng get a little closer to him, and the back of his hand also touched the back of his own.

The touched left hand shrank slightly.

Before he could move away, Ling Changfeng suddenly grasped his hand.

The man’s palm was so hot that he shivered.

Xu Xinghe’s body froze, and he stayed on the spot motionless, and asked in a daze: “What are you, what are you doing?”

Incomprehension flashed across his face as he was unable to react.

But he did not hide.

Ling Changfeng glanced at him and said without changing his face: “Go in.”

After speaking, he pushed open the door and led Xu Xinghe into the box.

“I don’t know how their love life is going after they get married, but I heard that they get along very well.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. Our middle-aged Marshal Ling is enlightened. Now instead of one, it’s a set. It’s set.” Qin Yuan was leaning on the sofa and chatting leisurely, but when he turned his head, he bumped into those odd-colored eyes that were one gold and one blue.

Qin Yuan: “…”

The box suddenly became quiet.

Those who were chatting, drinking tea, and eating snacks a second ago all stopped at this moment and looked at the two who suddenly appeared.

Everyone’s eyes shifted from the faces of the two to the hands they held together, and they fell silent in shock.

Xu Xinghe was a little embarrassed to see it, so he gently pulled his left hand back. “Hello everyone.”

Ling Changfeng didn’t hold on, and actually let the little hand slip away from his palm.

So his expression darkened, and he glanced at everyone in the room with a stern face. “What are you looking at?”

Everyone: “???”

At this moment, in addition to Ling Changfeng and Xu Xinghe who had just entered, there were a total of five people sitting in the box.

Besides Qin Yuan, there are two men and two women.

Xu Xinghe had met one of them previously at the state banquet, Rear Admiral Walker Waite.

Sitting next to him should be his wife, a woman who looks gentle and dignified. The woman looks very young on the outside, only about 20 or 30 years old, but her temperament is calm and elegant, not like a person in her 20s or 30s, probably well-maintained.

There are also two new faces, who seem easy-going, capable, and easy to get along with.

Qin Yuan stood up first and said to Xu Xinghe, “Come on, let me introduce you. This is Walker Waite and his wife Elizabeth Taylor. I heard from Walker that you’ve met before.”

General Waite said with a deep smile: “We’ve met, I remember you.”

Then he turned to his wife and said, “This is Xu Xinghe, the young man who saved our Lao Ling from the predicament of being single for fifty years.”

“…Don’t dare.” Xu Xinghe twitched his mouth and smiled stiffly: “It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Qin Yuan continued to introduce: “This is Colonel Lin Ting and his wife Su Lan. By the way, Su Lan is also engaged in technology. Now she is the technical team leader of the Capital Special Action Team. She is also a graduate of our No. 1 Military Academy, and is two grades younger than me.”

He hugged his wife and laughed very shyly: “The famous flower has its owner… Hey, Lan Lan, why are you pinching me?”

Then he turned to Xu Xinghe and said, “I’m Lin Ting, this is my wife. Su Lan, it’s nice to meet you.”

Xu Xinghe continued to smile: “Hello, nice to meet you.”

Then he turned to look at Su Lan.

The latter has short, refined brown hair, beautiful and sassy, ​​and waved to him with a smile. “Hello, I’m also from the technical department. I heard that you are the little genius of Ark. We can talk when we have time.”

Xu Xinghe’s eyes lit up slightly, and he laughed out of his dimples: “Okay, why don’t we exchange contact info later?”

After a round of introductions, everyone sat down together.

Waite asked, “Why hasn’t Parrish arrived yet? He has to drink two drinks later.”

Lin Ting said, “It doesn’t matter if he drinks or not, isn’t this guy’s wife strict? This time, he told us not to talk nonsense at the dinner table a week in advance.”

Qin Yuan glanced at Ling Changfeng intentionally or unintentionally when he heard this, and smiled slightly.

Then he commented very sharply: “I’m not saying that, although Parrish claims to have a strict wife, he himself looks more like that ‘wife’.”

Just as he was talking, the door of the box was pushed open again.

Brigadier General Parrish finally arrived belatedly with his spouse.

Xu Xinghe looked at the door in surprise—

The two who came in were men. And both of them are tall and strong, strong and beautiful.

For a while, he couldn’t tell which one was the “Parrish” in their mouths.

Generally speaking, omega and beta’s physiques are naturally smaller than an alpha’s, and due to the influence of hormones, training muscles is also more difficult.

From this point of view, the two people who just entered the door seem to be both alphas.

One of them spoke first: “Sorry, I had an emergency operation this afternoon, which took some time.”

Lin Ting, who had just said that he would “fine him two cups”, quickly changed his words after hearing this. “It’s alright, it’s hard work. A doctor’s first priority is to save the dying and help the wounded. We understand.”

The other man next to the doctor smiled and said to the doctor, “Don’t look at how nice this guy Lin Ting is now. He must be trying to trick me into drinking.”

Lin Ting: “…”

He looked at his old classmate with a complicated expression. “Parrish, do you know that you look like a little wife who is angry outside and goes home to complain?”

With a slight smile, Parrish  turned his head and said to Su Lan, “Xiao Su, I want to confess a mistake to you. When you made a routine check last Friday, didn’t you ask me if Lin Ting was with me…”

“Stop!” Lin Ting looked at him in shock. “How can you do this? This is a suicide attack, injuring one thousand enemies and yourself eight hundred!”

“Oh?” Su Lan turned her head to look at her husband with a smile. “Tell me, where did you guys go last Friday?”

“We went to dinner, don’t look at me like that, we really just went for dinner! Just like tonight!” Lin Ting denied it, and then quickly changed the subject, “Come on, let me introduce again, Xinghe, these two are Brigadier General Parrish and Dr. Lu Zimo.”

Then he turned to Dr. Lu and said, “Zimo, this is Xu Xinghe, Changfeng’s partner. Are you all hungry? Let’s all sit down and eat. What wine do you want to drink?”

After greeting Brigadier General Parrish’s family, Xu Xinghe approached Ling Changfeng, and asked in a low voice, “Didn’t you say you don’t drink at class reunions?”

Ling Changfeng said indifferently: “I don’t drink, they sometimes drink.”

Saying that, dual-colored pupils slanted towards Xu Xinghe and added: “But don’t get drunk.”

Xu Xinghe: “…I don’t drink, I won’t drink at all!”

Just kidding, if he gets drunk again, it’ll really be his social death scene. He can say goodbye to this world then!

After hearing his words, Ling Changfeng studied Xu Xinghe for a long moment.

He suddenly said: “You can take a sip. Anyway, I am here today.”

To drink or not to drink, ’tis is the question. Hehe~
