Chapter 1218
(Unedited)
…
In the following days, Xin Ja immerse himself in his work and began to create the new biometric key system for the Mechas. He has already a prototype in his mind and would just edit it as the advanced computing system is not yet complete.
Soon after designing and completing the first biometric key system, Xin Ja presented it to the higher-ups.
Inside the hangar of the 5th fortress, a few higher-ups are checking the new security system of the Mecha and were immediately impressed by the biometric key system of the Mecha.
It may not be perfect yet but it is already the start.
The old models were quickly recalled for dismantling.
In these few days, Xin Ja also found a new problem with the cockpit and the armor of the Mechas. The current back entrance is a bit dangerous for the pilots if a cold boot is done for the Mecha. So Xin Ja decided to add new armor and an additional mechanism for the cockpit.
This would enable the entry and exit of the cockpit safer for the pilot in case of any emergency.
After the mass recall of the new models, they were shipped out immediately after half a month of upgrading.
Soon, the kingdom of Jimal's Mecha forces could not be seen in every town of the borderland within the kingdom of Jimal's territory.
…
5th fortress, 2nd hangar cafeteria area
Xin Ja and a few of his colleagues are having lunch after a busy day.
The busy cafeteria suddenly became silent as a petite figure appears at the entrance. The figure looks beautiful and a bit petite, but her flowing dress insinuates her beauty.
She looks at the people inside the cafeteria and when she saw who she is looking for, she quickly came walking towards that person.
"Little Ja!… I have not seen for a while…" she suddenly said as she arrives at Xin Ja and his colleague's table.
Qiang Yaoyao is as beautiful as ever and has immediately captured the eyes of everyone inside the cafeteria.
"Oh… Big sister Yaoyao…" Xin Ja said as he quickly chewed his food and swallowed while standing up from his seat.
"Yeah, long time no see… How are you at the alchemy workshop?" Xin Ja said while gesturing for her to sit near him.
Qiang Yaoyao did not stand in attention as she just nodded her head to the people around the table and quickly sits near Xin Ja.
"Sigh… I was a bit busy until yesterday. Most of the alchemists are being sent home already… I think the war is about to end…" she said with a smile.
"Really? That is good news then…" Xin Ja said with a smile as he shifted his gaze to the people around the table.
"Did you hear that guys… We can go home soon…" he said excitedly.
"Do you want to have lunch with us?" he suddenly said as he noticed Qiang Yaoyao having no food on her side of the table.
"Nope… I just came here to pester you…" she said with a playful smirk.
The two began talking and the rest of the people just continue eating. They are already used to such sight as they have seen Qiang Yaoyao visiting Xin Ja before.
After lunch, Xin Ja and Qiang Yaoyao walks out of the hangar and went back to the quarters.
"Let's visit Senior Yao…" she suddenly suggested.
The two then happily walk while talking about their everyday activity.
Many eyes are looking at Xin Ja with a hint of jealousy and admiration. Most men who saw him walking with a beautiful woman would feel jealous… while others admire him for being able to talk to a beauty.
Some women, on the other hand, would feel jealous of Qiang Yaoyao as she is able to talk to Xin Ja. In this base who did not know the name of Xin Ja?
He is a famous person in the base and is being looked up to because of his contribution to the war.
He could already be considered a living hero by the people.
When the two arrived in front of Yao Mai Lin's quarters, they noticed a man standing by the door.
Xin Ja quickly grabs Qiang Yaoyao's hand and drags her to the side as they hide and watch in secret.
The man is holding some flowers while having his hair neatly arranged.
This guy is familiar with Xin Ja as he is none other than Captain Yu Xuwai.
Ever since he saw Captain Yu in misty village Xin Ja feels that the guy is someone worth befriending. When they became a part of the same squadron, he immediately looks up to the guy as he is very serious with his job as a soldier and very heroic.
He knew that the guy likes Senior Yao, so he is rooting for the two to be together.
"What is he doing in front of Senior Yao's room? Is he wooing Senior Yao?... No, I need to know the background of this guy… Senior Yao is far too good and excellent of a woman to just belong to anyone…" Qiang Yaoyao nosily said as she wanted to rush over.
Qiang Yaoyao and Yao Mai Lin have already met each other and have become friends as Xin Ja introduced them. So since she is close with Yao Mai Lin, Qiang Yaoyao seems to have the instinct of protecting Yao Mai Lin from her suitors as she has a bad experience of such a thing.
But Xin Ja suddenly drags her back.
"Shush… That's Captain Yu. He is an upright guy… I know him and we belong to the same squadron. Stay here and watch… Hehe…" Xin Ja explained with a chuckle.
Soon, Yao Mai Lin opened the door and saw the flowers in front of Captain Yu. Upon seeing the flowers she immediately blushed.
But she steps forward and then closes her eyes as she drags Captain Yu towards the reception area where Xin Ja and Qiang Yaoyao are hiding.
When the two saw them walking in their direction. Qiang Yaoyao suddenly panicked and pushes Xin Ja.
With the figure of Xin Ja appearing, an awkward atmosphere immediately enveloped the surrounding.
He awkwardly raises his hand and said.
"Hi?" while showing a sheepish smile.
Deep inside Xin Ja's heart, he is cursing Qiang Yaoyao for pushing him out of the corner.
"You… Junior Ja, what are you doing here?" Yao Mai Lin asked while showing a hint of blush on her face.
Suddenly, she felt something is wrong and noticed that she is still holding on to Captain Yu's hands as she was dragging him to the reception area.
She quickly let go and her face turned red. She did not expect that her junior would be able to see her dragging a man.
"Ahem… I will not disturb the two of you… We will leave now… Sorry…" Xin Ja quickly said while showing a sheepish smile.
Qiang Yaoyao also showed a sheepish smile as she waved her hand while following Xin Ja.
"See you next time, Senior Yao… Enjoy your date with this gentleman… Hihi…" she said playfully.
When Xin Ja heard her words, she almost stumble and did not dare look back as he quickly ran away.
At this time, Yao Mai Lin could not help but feel shy as she did not expect that Xin Ja would see this scene. She then turns towards Captain Yu who is also showing a blushing face.
"I… That…" Yao Mai Lin did not know what to say now and just stutters.
"Ahem… Ahem… Would you want to go out for a while…" Captain Yu quickly said trying to smooth out the awkward situation.
Yao Mai Lin just lowered her head and nodded.
She did not know what she is feeling right now.
In fact, when Xin Ja saw her dragging Captain Yu she feel shy and guilty at the same time. She did not know why she felt that way.
She could not deny the fact that she actually has feelings for Captain Yu. She just could not say it or show it because of her current duty as a soldier.
She wanted to focus on her career first, and then she would respond to his wooing afterward. But as the day flows by, she did not know why, but his presence in her life made her rely on him more and more every day.
…
Meanwhile, Xin Ja and Qiang Yaoyao were already laughing together while walking out of the female officer's dormitory.
"Hahaha… Why did you push me, I almost had a heart attack back there?" Xin Ja said while chuckling.
"Hihi… You should have seen your face… You look like this…" Qiang Yaoyao said while showing Xin Ja how he reacted.
The two laughed all the way to their usual hang-out place.
After talking for a while and enjoying the scenery, Qiang Yaoyao seems to have remembered something.
"Oh, I almost forgot… I heard that Crown Prince, Han Jiban is going to visit the fortress… I'm feeling a bit excited. I've only seen him once, and he is so… Sigh." Qiang Yaoyao suddenly showed a love-struck expression.
Upon seeing this, Xin Ja almost laughed but controlled himself.
