CH 84

Qiu Zhenyang has always been an actionist. He said that Ling Mu would not be allowed to sleep at night, and he really did not give him a chance to sleep.

When Ling Mu woke up the next day, it was already three o’clock in the afternoon. He had Qiu Zhenyang’s breath all over his body. Even though medicine had been applied, his body still hurt.

Since he was uncomfortable, he simply lay on the bed and checked the news with the terminal.

Tomorrow is the day when Lin Yuhan’s case will be tried. News also came out this morning that Lin Zhiyuan’s trial will be held at the same time.

The military is extremely efficient, and Weng Li confessed in just one night. In fact, it was also because the timing of their arrest was too coincidental. After meeting with his sister, Weng Li went to deal with those who were a threat to Lin Zhiyuan. As a result, he was arrested before he had time to find them, and led the military to arrest them together.

The sale of contraband is not widespread in Interstellar. Even if it was concealed, there are not many people who dare do contraband, so it was easy to follow the chain and identify the parties involved.

Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu made a great contribution this time, and should be rewarded by the Federation this time.

Ling Mu watched a round of these news reports, but there was no major fluctuation in his heart. He didn’t think about becoming a hero, and this time he just made a contribution by mistake. Compared with this matter, he was more interested in the verdict of Lin Zhiyuan’s trial.

The door of the room was pushed open, and Qiu Zhenyang came in with his upper body naked. He wiped the sweat with the towel around his neck. Seeing that Ling Mu was awake, he asked, “Are you okay?”

Ling Mu kicked the quilt irritably, wanting to ignore him.

Qiu Zhenyang chuckled lightly, this is the embarrassment.

“Wait a minute, I’ll go take a shower first.” He just came out of the gym, and was sweaty. A thin layer of sparkling droplets covered his smooth muscles, and every texture was sexy.

It’s a pity that the person in the room who had a chance to appreciate it didn’t care at all.

Qiu Zhenyang took a shower and put on his clothes as fast as he could. After coming out, he dug Ling Mu out of bed and took him to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.

“The food is in the incubator, do you want to go downstairs to eat or I’ll bring it up?”

Ling Mu’s legs trembled from even standing, and had to be completely supported by Qiu Zhenyang’s arms around his waist at the sink just now. He stuffed the electric toothbrush in his mouth, held it in one hand and moved it mechanically, making a small ‘en’ sound.

“Well, I’ll serve it later, do you want to eat fruit?”

“En.”

“Okay, then I won’t take it.”

After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Qiu Zhenyang carried the person to bed, and then went downstairs to get the food.

Ling Mu lay on the bed, rubbing his weak legs. He really didn’t understand why that guy was still so energetic? After a ridiculous night, he still has the energy to exercise. Is his body made of iron?

“Iron lump” Qiu Zhenyang came in from the door with the food in his hand. Seeing Ling Mu’s resentful eyes, he couldn’t help smiling: “What’s the matter, looking at me with this kind of eyes.”

“What do you think?” Ling Mu stared at him. This guy has the gall to ask why!

After putting the plate down, Qiu Zhenyang handed Ling Mu the bowl and chopsticks, and said in surrender, “Okay, okay, my fault, it’s all my fault. Who made you take the initiative last night; I couldn’t control it at all. By the way, where did you learn this, Xiao Mumu, it’s like being possessed by a fairy, it almost caused my nose to bleed.”

“You are a goddamn fairy…” Ling Mu felt some strength recover a little with the warm meal in his mouth. He was used to eating Qiu Zhenyang’s food now, and even had the illusion that food was supposed to taste this way.

Perhaps, he really can’t leave this person in this life.

While Ling Mu was eating, Qiu Zhenyang moved a chair and sat behind him, his hands circled around the back of the chair, and lightly rubbed Ling Mu’s sore waist.

“Have a good rest today, and I’ll take you home tomorrow morning. The court session is at 1 pm, and we won’t be able to go there tonight.” Qiu Zhenyang gave him a massage while talking about tomorrow’s arrangements.

Ling Mu drank the soup with a spoon and rolled his eyes involuntarily. He didn’t have time or energy for what he wanted to do today, right?

In order to let Ling Mu eat more at night, Qiu Zhenyang didn’t serve too much food, just let him fill his stomach a little.

After eating, Qiu Zhenyang washed the tableware and chopsticks and went to study. Ling Mu was really lacking in energy, so he simply went to play games. Anyway, the game cabin is connected to his consciousness, and he can’t feel the soreness in his body.

He is now considered a celebrity in “Machine Wars”, and many people have added him as a friend. Seeing Ling Mu online, they rushed to invite him to play together. Normally, Ling Mu would only join those in the club, but seeing none of them online, he accepted a random netizen’s invitation.

“Ling Mu?” The man didn’t seem to think that the other party would accept. He was stunned for a while, and his voice was a little surprised, “I didn’t expect you to come in. Didn’t you say that you basically don’t accept invitations from others?”

Ling Mu didn’t want to explain, so he just said, “Let’s go.”

The man was also very knowledgeable, and started the game directly.

“You choose the marshal, I can play any role.” After entering the role selection screen, the man behaved very friendly, and told their companions that Ling Mu’s skills were very good, and not to worry about giving him the marshal.

Ling Mu was not polite, and chose the role of Marshal directly.

Since the explosion of “Machine Wars”, many players were not familiar with the character selection at the beginning, and even disliked this way of grabbing roles based on hand speed. But later, everyone gradually understood that focusing on teamwork and choosing the most suitable position for you, and sometimes even making way for a partner who is stronger than yourself, is the real secret to winning.

Just like a real interstellar war, only by fulfilling your own responsibilities and obeying the command of the marshal seriously can you streamline operations and achieve success with the least sacrifice.

Therefore, although there are people in the team who wanted to be the marshal, but after listening to that person’s words, they chose the other roles.

“By the way, are you a freshman? I’m a junior, my surname is Wang, and I’m considered your senior.” The man was quite friendly, and talked to Ling Mu almost non-stop.

“Oh.” Ling Mu responded indifferently. He now regrets accepting this person’s invitation and would rather play alone.

It was probably because Ling Mu didn’t want to chat much, that Senior Wang stopped talking. After the game started, Ling Mu began to command the battle. After leaving the guards to protect the mothership, he took his adjutant to detour from the other side.

Ling Mu’s learning ability is very strong. Basically, he has memorized all the tricks Qiu Zhenyang used when he followed him as an adjutant. Qiu Zhenyang also intended to train him, letting Ling Mu choose the marshal, and him the adjutant, allowing Ling Mu to gradually apply those skills.

Because he doesn’t like to fight for a long time, Ling Mu has always been quick to fight, and this time is the same. With his command and deployment, everyone quickly attacked the local assault soldiers and scouts, and then attacked the local mothership in one fell swoop.

After the game ended, Senior Wang excitedly praised Ling Mu: “You are too good! That kind of play is really exciting, I thought it would be discovered by the opponent’s scouts, but they were actually distracted. You’re amazing!”

This senior is very enthusiastic about “Machine Wars”, and although he watched Ling Mu’s livestreams before, teaming up was way more exciting than just watching!

“Thank you.” Ling Mu was still cold and indifferent. Seeing that Senior Wang was still blowing rainbow farts, he said impatiently, “Are you still playing? If not, I’ll leave first.”

“Play play play!” As if fearing Ling Mu would run away, Senior Wang hurriedly started the next game.

After five rounds in a row, Senior Wang was still a little unfulfilled, but Ling Mu was ready to go offline. It was already seven o’clock now, and Qiu Zhenyang said that the dinner should be no later than seven o’clock.

“No more.” Ling Mu refused concisely and directly.

Although Senior Wang regretted not being able to play a few more games, he still smiled. “Okay, you’ve worked hard today. Can I invite you to play games with you next time?”

Although Ling Mu doesn’t like grouping with people he doesn’t know, this person’s operation and awareness are very good. Even if they become opponents, Ling Mu is quite satisfied finding someone on the same level.

“Okay.”

The simple words made Senior Wang cheer happily. After Ling Mu left, he still couldn’t calm down.

Although only six games were played, Senior Wang has saved the video of each game, ready to watch these videos a few more times after going offline.

After leaving the game cabin, Ling Mu found that the lights in the room were on. Thinking about it, Qiu Zhenyang must have come in and turned on the light for him.

He opened the door to go out, and before he went downstairs, he smelled a strong aroma of food, which made his pace involuntarily quicken a lot.

In the kitchen, Qiu Zhenyang was wearing an apron and testing the taste of the soup. Ling Mu leaned over, raised his chin, and wanted to taste it.

Qiu Zhenyang handed over the spoon a little, Ling Mu took a sip, his eyes lit up, and nodded with satisfaction. “It’s delicious.”

“Then help me take out the other dishes and tableware, dinner will be ready soon.” Qiu Zhenyang smiled. Kissing his cheek, he took a large bowl and scooped the soup into it.

After dinner, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu went out for a walk.

The two of them felt like an old couple now. This way of getting along made them feel very comfortable, especially Ling Mu, who had longed for an ordinary family life. Qiu Zhenyang’s love and care made him indulge in it.

When he was about to go back after the walk, Qiu Zhenyang saw a vending machine on the side of the road and bought a few lollipops for Ling Mu on a whim.

Looking at the lollipop lying in the palm of his hand, Ling Mu’s mouth twitched: “Do you think I’m a child?”

“Hey, hey, who said that the one who eats candy is a child?” Qiu Zhenyang pinched his face with a wide open smile. “I bought you candy because I like you, idiot!”

Ling Mu was stunned for a moment, then his ears turned red, and he lowered his head and peeled off the candy wrapper.

He was about to stuff the lollipop into his mouth, but after thinking about it, he stopped, raised his hand and shoved it into Qiu Zhenyang’s mouth.

Ignoring the other party’s playful eyes, Ling Mu peeled another lollipop and put it in his mouth.

En, it’s sweet.
