When Song Xiao Bai opened the door, Tang Wu Yuan was tidying up his collar. He could only see a flash of Tang Wu Yuan’s white neck, which seemed to have something sticking on it, and before he could get a good look, Tang Wu Yuan had already covered up the back of his neck firmly.
When Tang Wu Yuan saw his sudden appearance, he panicked for a moment but soon calmed down and raised his eyebrows to look at him: “Are you here to find me for a fight?”
Although he was not as physically fit as Song Xiao Bai, he was not afraid of him either.
Song Xiao Bai didn’t pay attention to his provocation, he just frowned and swept his eyes around the room, seemingly looking for something, then disappointedly withdrew his gaze, opened the door with one hand and turned to leave.
“……” Is there something wrong with him?
Tang Wu Yuan pouted, locked the cupboard and walked out when he met the Lieutenant General who was about to enter the room.
The Lieutenant General saw Tang Wu Yuan stop in his tracks, still looking kind, smiled and greeted, “The commander is also here.”
Tang Wu Yuan nodded at the Lieutenant General, with whom he had never had much of a close relationship. Aside for official business, their relationship is just greeting each other upon meeting.
As he opened the door and was about to walk out, the Lieutenant General suddenly spoke up, “I thought you wouldn’t want to care about the Major General’s life.”
Tang Wu Yuan turned around, looking at him suspiciously.
“I even thought you’d be happy to see the Major General die.” The Lieutenant General’s head was covered with a hat and the shadows that fell on his head made it difficult to see his expression, only the corners of his mouth rising slightly could be seen, as if he were smiling, but the meaning of the smile was indistinguishable.
“What do you mean?” Tang Wu Yuan frowned at him, looking a little impatient, he hated it when people said ambiguous things.
“I just didn’t expect that you would be so anxious to stop the Major General after knowing that he wanted to go fight the Star Pirates, I was just a little surprised. After all, as a commander, you don’t have to go to the front line to fight, even if danger happens, you can still get out in one piece.”
The interstellar Commander would normally stay in the battleship to command the overall situation, it is not necessary to personally go on the battlefield. Reasonably speaking, as a Major General, Song Xiao Bai also does not need to personally go to the battlefield, but the Star Pirates repeatedly provoked, with Song Xiao Bai’s character, he will not be able to resist personally leading the troops to personally destroy them, so even if there is any accident, only Song Xiao Bai and his cronies will die.
Tang Wu Yuan’s dark eyes gave him a faint glance, his voice did not rise and fall as he said, “Since I am the Commander, I should be responsible for the whole team, and will never let personal grudges affect the decisions of the troops.”
What he didn’t say was that Song Xiao Bai was brave and skilful at battle, a rare talent in the empire, and even if he didn’t like Song Xiao Bai, he also wouldn’t watch Song Xiao Bai get killed.
The Lieutenant General nodded and smiled: “Commander knows right from wrong, really makes me admire.”
He lifted his head and Tang Wu Yuan was finally able to see his eyebrows and eyes clearly. His pale cheeks looked a little gloomy, but his face carried a smile, a peaceful face. The smile was like his mask, it was never taken off his face, so he had always been known as the goody two shoes in the Golden Eagle Army, Tang Wu Yuan occasionally could not even remember what he looked like when he was not smiling.
Tang Wu Yuan gave him a noncommittal look, his eyes scowling a little, he thought the Lieutenant General was talking a little too much today.
The Lieutenant General smiled more gently and leaned against the locker as if chatting idly: “Major General is a powerful Alpha, I am a Beta, obviously I can’t smell the pheromones on him but I get cold sweats all over my body every time I am overwhelmed by the oppressive feeling on the Major General. Also being a Beta, you can behave as usual every time and still confront him, I am really impressed, if only I could be like you too.”
Tang Wu Yuan pursed his lips, thinking that was thanks to the barrier sticker and my heart being big enough.
“May you be able to do the same one day.”
“Many thanks.” The Lieutenant General smiled.
Tang Wu Yuan left the changing room and went straight back to his room to rest.
He had a separate room in the army where he usually lived except when he is on leave. The room was neat and clean and during the day, there was a large amount of sunlight coming in, bright and spacious. The only regret is that his nemesis Song Xiao Bai lives in the next room.
Tang Wu Yuan took a bath and changed into a comfortable house clothes. The Tang family motto is to be responsible and conscientious when working but to enjoy oneself when resting, so in private, he would never use the same discipline as the army, he will relax when he should.
He turned on his intelligent brain, laid on his bed and listened to music for a while, then after thinking about it, he got up and turned it off, picked up the phone and called his former teacher, who was also Song Xiao Bai’s mother.
Not long after he hung up the phone, there was a knock on the door of Tang Wu Yuan’s room. A very loud knock, one after another, and the person who knocked on the door was just furious from the sound of it.
Tang Wu Yuan had expected this, so he wasn’t too surprised. He lazily stretched out before slowly stepping into his slippers and opening the door.
Song Xiao Bai was standing at the door with a grim face. As soon as he saw Tang Wu Yuan, he asked in an imposing manner: “Did you call my mother and tell her about the Star Pirates?”
Tang Wu Yuan leaned against the door and said with some languor: “Yes, Teacher Bai told me to keep an eye on you and to tell her at the earliest about anything. I am a person who honours my teacher and respects their teaching, I naturally had to do as I was told.”
Song Xiao Bai’s father had died in battle back then. Song Xiao Bai’s mother was gentle and demure, after her husband’s death, she had concentrated on looking after Song Xiao Bai, naturally worried about her son’s safety, fearing that he would follow her husband’s old path. Song Xiao Bai had always had great respect for his only mother, so Tang Wu Yuan knew that the only way to stop Song Xiao Bai from taking risks was to let Teacher Bai talk him into it.
Song Xiao Bai’s eyes narrowed dangerously and his voice chilled, “You want to use my mother to pressure me?”
“En.” Tang Wu Yuan was not afraid in the slightest, nodding his head lightly and admitting frankly, “Is it working?”
Song Xiao Bai looked at Tang Wu Yuan’s white and tender face, unable to speak out of anger.
Of course it worked, Tang Wu Yuan just knew that he would listen to his mother’s words, that’s why he brought his mother out.
The two were at a standstill when the Liaison Officer came up, holding a tray with two plates of crayfish on it. When the Liaison Officer saw the two of them in this position, he shuddered in fear and stopped in his tracks, cursing himself in his heart for coming at the wrong time, but it was too late to back out now. Tang Wu Yuan and Song Xiao Bai all looked over, their eyes one sharper than the other.
He swallowed and hardened his scalp as he , “Major General, Commander, the brothers have nothing to do and made some crayfish, I brought some over for you to try.”
Although he was one of those who followed Song Xiao Bai, unlike the others, he had no problems with Tang Wu Yuan. On the contrary, he had a strong admiration in his heart for those who dared to confront the Major General. In his heart, those who could stand up to the powerful sense of oppression from the Major General were by no means ordinary people!
“Thanks.” Tang Wu Yuan looked at the red crayfish on the plate and nodded his head in thanks.
“……I wonder where the two officers would like to eat?” The Liaison Officer asked hesitantly, he had wanted to send the crayfish to the Major General and the Commander’s rooms separately before, but now since they were together, he didn’t know what to do.
Tang Wu Yuan frowned and glanced at Song Xiao Bai, who still had a dark face, immersed in the anger from just now, and had no intention of leaving.
Tang Wu Yuan had to move out of the way of the doorway and said to the Liaison Officer: “Take it into my room.”
The Liaison Officer immediately took the crayfish inside, not daring to look at the Major General’s dark face.
Tang Wu Yuan raised an eyebrow at Song Xiao Bai, “Come in and have some?”
Song Xiao Bai came in with pursed lips, and because the Liaison Officer was there, he reluctantly did not say anything. He just took a look at Tang Wu Yuan’s room and then frowned in disgust.
Tang Wu Yuan was furious at Song Xiao Bai’s look, although his room was not particularly neatly tidied up, but what did Song Xiao Bai mean by this expression of having no place to sit?
Seeing the two officers’ faces darken again, the Liaison Officer hurriedly put the crayfish on the table and said with his head bowed, “Then I’ll go out first.”
Tang Wu Yuan nodded and personally escorted him out the door, and the Liaison Officer closed the door thoughtfully as he left.
They were the only two people left in the room and Tang Wu Yuan ignored Song Xiao Bai and walked to the table by himself, putting on gloves and peeling crayfish. The army were a military stronghold and it was inconvenient to order takeout, so everyone often made some food by themselves, which tasted pretty good. Although it couldn’t be compared with the restaurants outside, it had a fresh feeling for a change.
When Song Xiao Bai saw how happy he was eating, his face became even darker, “Are you a primary school student? You actually still complain to parents? So childish.”
The corners of Tang Wu Yuan’s mouth curved as he put the crayfish into his mouth and said indifferently: “It doesn’t matter if it’s childish or not, as long as it works.”
Song Xiao Bai glared at him, “Don’t call my mother in future.”
“It’s not up to you.” Tang Wu Yuan raised his hand and shook the crayfish in his hand, saying carelessly: “You should eat some too, your subordinate personally brought it to you.”
Although Song Xiao Bai was a bad-tempered man, he was very good to his men, easy-going and clear in his rewards and punishments. As long as they were capable and willing to work hard, they would have the chance to be promoted. For this reason, his cronies are loyal to him.
When he heard Tang Wu Yuan’s words, he hesitated for a moment and then really sat down opposite Tang Wu Yuan, all dressed up in his military uniform and sitting upright, in stark contrast to Tang Wu Yuan, who was wearing his home clothes opposite.
Tang Wu Yuan gave a tsk and pushed one of the plates of crayfish in front of him. The crayfish was so fresh and fragrant that it made people have an appetite at first glance.
Song Xiao Bai carefully put on his transparent gloves and then picked up the crayfish, peeling out the meat with skilful movements and taking a bite, the crayfish had just come out of the pot and the meat was tender and tasty.
Song Xiao Bai finished eating a crayfish, put down the shell and once again said in a deep voice: “Don’t tell my mother if you have anything in the future.”
Tang Wu Yuan hummed and laughed: “Song Xiao Bai, you should know that Teacher Bai can’t afford to lose a loved one once more, if you don’t want Teacher Bai to worry, don’t charge in blindly into a fight without regards for your life, if something happens to you, you will really be sorry to Teacher Bai.”
If he didn’t have to, Tang Wu Yuan also wouldn’t want to disturb Teacher Bai, but this time there was something fishy going on. No matter what method he used, he had to stop Song Xiao Bai from acting rashly.
“I won’t let anything happen to me even for the sake of my mother.” Song Xiao Bai’s tone was a little stiff, but serious.
Tang Wu Yuan raised his eyes to look at him, his voice indifferent: “It’s fine if you don’t want me to report to Teacher Bai, do you know what to do?”
Song Xiao Bai was silent for a moment, pursing the corners of his mouth and speaking reluctantly: “I’ve already sent someone to look into the matter of the Star Pirates, this time I can forcefully consider you being right, I was impulsiveness.”
Tang Wu Yuan was very satisfied with the result, although Song Xiao Bai was impulsive, he was not stubborn. As long as he could find out what the problem was, he would accept it and correct it. This is why he and Song Xiao Bai were able to work together for so long despite being at odds.
He curved his lips and, in a rare moment of good mood, poured a cup of water and placed it next to Song Xiao Bai. Since Song Xiao Bai had entered his room, he reluctantly treated him as a guest.
“……Thanks.” Song Xiao Bai looked at the clean cup of water and whispered a thank you.
“Good boy.” Tang Wu Yuan arched his eyebrows and sat down.
“Tang Wu Yuan, you don’t want your life ba.”
Song Xiao Bai glowered at him, irritated as he picked up the water cup and took a sip. He moved so fast that his sleeve touched the crayfish on the plate and one crayfish fell onto his trousers, instantly leaving a bit of oil stain on his trousers.
His face instantly darkened, he put down his glass of water and quickly removed the crayfish from his trousers. Looking at the stain on his trousers, his eyes looking like he wanted to glare a hole through them.
“Heh, delicate.” Tang Wu Yuan glanced at the stain on his trousers and drew a tissue and handed it to him.
Song Xiao Bai was a person with serious mysophobia, he definitely would not be able to stand the sight of a stain, he had deliberately said so to anger him.
It was rare that Song Xiao Bai didn’t retort but only asked in a low voice, “Can I use your bathroom for a while?”
“Sure.” Tang Wu Yuan nodded once and continued peeling the crayfish in his hand to eat.
After Song Xiao Bai got permission, he immediately rushed to the bathroom and only came out of it after a long time. The oil on his trousers seemed to have been washed with water, the oil stain was gone, but there was an extra water mark.
His face still didn’t look good and he walked a little stiffly, as if he was afraid the water marks on his trousers would get on him, and said in a deep voice: “I’ll go back first.”
“What about your crayfish?”
“You eat it.”
Naturally, Tang Wu Yuan was happy and did not go out to see him off, he happily brought the plate of crayfish in front of him and continued peeling them. Song Xiao Bai had just eaten just one crayfish, the rest of the whole plate had not been touched.
When the Liaison Officer went back and told his companions that Song Xiao Bai and Tang Wu Yuan were eating crayfish together, they were all shocked and worried that they might accidentally get into a fight, so they all ran to the staircase and stood by, wanting to rush in and stop the fight as soon as they heard any movement inside.
They listened carefully against the wall but the room was quiet and there was no loud bickering. Everyone was wondering when they saw Song Xiao Bai coming out with a calm face and an unnatural walking posture.
Everyone held their breath and watched as he went back to his own room, not noticing them, before breathing a sigh of relief.
Everyone was silent for a while, and one of them couldn’t help but say: “…… Did you see the marks on the front of Major General’s trousers?”
Everyone all froze and at the same time remembered the wet mess on Song Xiao Bai’s trousers, and suddenly felt like they were hit by a five thunders1五雷轰顶 (wǔ léi hōng dǐng): an idiom, metaphor of a person who has done something very bad and offensive to principles will certainly be punished by heaven in various forms..
The Major General walked out of the Commander’s room with wet trousers……what what what does this this this mean?
