Chapter 35
"I can provide help, but in exchange, you must also pay me a satisfactory reward."
Austin unabashedly put his purpose in front of Shangping. It is true that Shangping would not think that he could unconditionally ask Austin to give John the green light for himself, but, so straightforwardly put the concept of equivalent exchange on the two people. In front of him, he really didn't think of it.
"So, what do you wish for?"
Shang Ping suddenly realized that he shouldn't have told Austin so easily that he was also interested in Liu Xi.From the moment Austin lowered his eyes and half covered those green eyes, it seemed that the development of things began to move in a direction that Shang Ping had never expected.
Why did he feel that he was gradually being led by the nose by this blond boy?
He just came here for the expectation of his friend John, right?When did it become necessary for him to pay the price for the exchange?Is this how it should be?
In addition to teaching students military skills, strategies and tactics, the Madoff Military Academy also requires students to deal with philosophy.No matter what the situation is, even if you are facing an enemy who will defeat you, you need to find ways to hold the initiative in negotiations.It's not just lip service.Shang Ping has always had good grades in this class, but unfortunately, he is not so confident now.
Shang Ping is not facing the situation of being "general" at this moment. At least, if he completely ignores John's wishes, he can refuse Austin's conditions. However, Shang Ping did not do so.Austin's attitude aroused some bad factors in Shang Ping's personality, and he even expected Austin to express his wish.
What would this 15-year-old man propose?
Shang Ping thought of some kind of evil possibility, frowned, and then felt relieved.
"Are you sure you want to listen?"
"of course."
Austin stood up, walked to Shangping, bent down, put his hands on both sides of the high-back chair, lowered his head, his green eyes clearly reflected Shangping's face, with a slight smile, but there was nothing he expected Flustered and awkward, this made Austin a little dissatisfied, no, or it should be said, very dissatisfied.It directly caused the big boy to convert the possibility of a date or dinner into another kind of more intimate contact.
"a kiss."
Austin's voice was a little hoarse, slowly invading Shang Ping's hearing.Even though he was prepared, Shang Ping couldn't help being stunned for a moment.Obviously, this request surprised Shang Ping a little.
"Just a kiss?"
"Don't you expect anything else? Even if you ask, we must abide by the Mars law and the regulations of the academy. Before we are underage, we cannot do things that violate the laws and school regulations. So, unfortunately, it can only be a kiss That's all."
Shang Ping was completely speechless.He didn't even know what expression he should put on now.laugh at?surprise?Or become angry from embarrassment?
No matter which one it is, it means that he was completely led by the nose by the big boy's words, and he was powerless to fight back.This is definitely a very annoying thing.
Forget it, it's just a kiss, just a kiss, right?
Shang Jing quietly lowered his head, pondered for a while, and when he raised his head again, his expression had returned to normal. He agreed to Austin's request without hesitation, put his arms around Austin's neck, and blinked, "Then, do you wish to Did it happen?"
"Do not."
Adhering to good upbringing and the decent manners cultivated by aristocratic education, Austin will not accept his "reward" until he completes the requirements set by Shang Ping.
"Should I be thankful, Mister 'Gentleman'?"
"If you wish."
Austin stood up straight, and loosened his two-button black school uniform jacket, which was still without a single wrinkle. For a moment, he thought that maybe he could take this opportunity to ask Shang Ping to agree to be his lover, but soon he will This idea was rejected.
This is completely impossible. According to Shang Ping's previous attitude towards him, if he made this request, Shang Ping would probably turn around and leave immediately without leaving any room.
Thinking of this, Austin wanted to smile bitterly, even though this kind of mature expression suffering from love should never appear on the face of a 15-year-old boy.
"Shang Ping, I'm serious about you."
"I know."
"So, can you try to accept me?"
"..."
"alright, I got it."
Austin doesn't plan to entangle this issue any longer, it's really not good.However, there is still some reconciliation.
"No matter what you think, Shang Ping, I just want to tell you that whether you accept my pursuit is entirely up to you, but I will not give up."
Shang Ping walked into Austin's room with a smile, but at this moment he had to open the door with a feeling of running away.He had to admit that for a moment, he really fell for Austin.It wasn't love or anything else, he was only moved by the boy's undisguised emotion and persistence, which was exactly what he lacked in his two lifetimes.Maybe it's something he can't get in his life.
When Shang Ping returned to the dormitory, John was sitting by the bed, his eyes almost glued to the screen of his brain, and the sound of the door opening didn't bring the big man back to his senses.Seeing Liu Xi's unclear photo on the screen, Shang Ping immediately decided not to tell John about the agreement with Austin for the time being. Let’s “keep it in mind” for now.
That night, Shang Ping unexpectedly had a good night's sleep, while John stayed up all night. He woke up with two dark circles under his eyes for several days in a row. His sleepwalking state of mind made it unsurprising that the instructor was not satisfied with his daily class results. On the sheet, a big cross is drawn.
When John learned of his miserable results again, Shang Ping was sitting in the single-player fighter training cabin, destroying the enemy planes in the battle neatly, watching the virtual cursor on the display screen disappear quickly, showing a long-lost happy smile.
Austin kept his promise and called Ms. Diana three days later, hoping that her mother could mediate.Although Shang Ping's request is only to make some adjustments to the monthly leave, so that John can smoothly not be imprisoned in Madoff Academy while Liu Xi is staying on the Mars planet.This request is not difficult to achieve, but Austin is very concerned about what Shang Ping said, and he is also very interested in Liu Xi's words.
"Mother, this is just my unilateral request. I hope it won't embarrass you."
Diana's virtual image disappeared from the screen, and Austin put down the phone. He knew his mother's abilities. Before becoming a full-time housewife, Diana worked in the military as the only female adjutant of David South.It wasn't until Diana resigned from the military for the sake of her family that David's current adjutant, Joe, opened the door to a life of overtime.
Perhaps the mother has paid too much for the family. As a husband who loves his wife deeply and feels a little guilty, David South always does everything possible to satisfy Diana's wishes.Austin took advantage of that.Since his mother really expected him to bring his sweetheart home, is it allowed to occasionally ask his mother for help?
At this time, Commander David Sous was racking his brains to deal with Liu Xi, the President of the Republic of Seth, who was not out of line, but very troublesome.
This young president seems to have no sense that he is in Mars instead of Seth. He completely ignores David South's previous advice, and waits for the Mars media with the fullest energy every day at any time, while the Mars government And he couldn't blatantly stop his behavior.That would only invite more suspicion.Within a week, almost all traditional media and electronic light guide publications became the performance stage of this handsome president.Liu Xi's performance on the Mars planet also appeared in front of the citizens of the Republic of Seth and the people of the Free Federation of Planet γ.
He is always personable, his attitude is not so serious, but his words are quite sharp.With his unremitting efforts, neither Consul Martin nor Commander David South could turn a blind eye to the diplomatic letters sent by the Republic of Seth.This made Marshal Helu, who was waiting in the Republic of Seth, start to admire Liu Xi's personal ability. In front of his staff, he said, "If you can be like this young president, maybe being impulsive is not a bad thing." This kind of ridiculous words come.
