interstellar fairy tale

Chapter 21

Shang Ping never deliberately concealed the fact that he was Colonel Edgar's adopted son, but he didn't think it was necessary to talk about personal matters like a mantra.For Shang Ping, Colonel Edgar's status as a fleet commander will not have any impact on his military school life.However, obviously not everyone has the same idea as Shang Ping.

After getting off the car, Shang Ping waved at Colonel Edgar who came to see him off, and watched the handsome long-legged uncle reluctantly leave. Although Colonel Edgar insisted that Shang Ping live with him during the Canon Fortress, It was still rejected by Shang Ping without hesitation.

"why?"

"I am a cadet of the Madoff Military Academy who is an intern with the team. I cannot violate discipline and stay outside the cadet dormitory."

"But you're just an intern 'with the team', aren't you?"

"Even so, there can be no exceptions. Uncle Edgar, you don't want your adopted son to be punished for violating discipline, do you?"

"With me here, who would dare to punish you?"

"..."

Shang Ping was speechless, and simply stopped arguing with Colonel Edgar. In the end, Colonel Edgar couldn't bear Shang Ping's silence, so he had to raise the white flag to surrender.

"Okay, baby, but at least you promise me that you will leave me dinner time during the time in the Kanon military fortress."

"That's fine."

Shang Ping swept away the gloom on his face, smiled and put his arms around Colonel Edgar's neck, and kissed Colonel Edgar's cheek twice, so when Shang Ping turned his back and felt chills for his behavior, Edgar Colonel Degas was already covering the place where he was kissed, surrounded by a bunch of pink bubbles in happiness.

Shang Ping watched Colonel Edgar leave, and turned back to the dormitory. He still remembered that he had made an appointment for dinner with Austin, but he didn't want to be blocked by two junior students who also came to Canon.

"What's up?"

Shang Ping's tone was always gentle, although the two students didn't seem very friendly, Shang Ping still had a smile on his face.It has to be said that after getting along with Austin South for a long time, Shang Ping's ability to hide his impatience and disgust has improved a lot.Shang Ping really didn't like the gray-haired boy in front of him, especially after the boy kept complaining that he couldn't participate in the actual combat exercise, but he didn't have the guts to propose it to the instructor.

"If I'm not mistaken, the one who sent you back was the commander of the Sixth Fleet, right?"

Colonel Edgar was in charge of receiving the cadets at the Madoff Military Academy on the first day they arrived.At that time, Shang Ping was standing at the end of the line, and he didn't see clearly who the heroic soldier standing at the front was, and he also missed Colonel Edgar's rare seriousness at that time.But most of the boys at the Madoff Military Academy were fascinated by Colonel Edgar.This does not refer to the sense of love, but the admiration complex of outstanding soldiers in the boy Mars' nature.

"Yes."

Shang Ping nodded with a smile, without any intention of denying it.This made the two boys in front of him stunned for a moment, Shang Ping took the opportunity to pass between the two dazed boys, turned around and said: "Colonel Edgar is my adopter, it's no secret. You don't need It doesn’t make any sense to come here to ask me for confirmation on this matter.”

After finishing speaking, ignoring the two boys who were obviously turning blue, Shang Ping ran towards Austin who was already waiting for him in front.

"Having trouble?"

Austin held the electronic document borrowed from the fortress library in one hand, and his green eyes swept across the two boys not far away, with a chill in his eyes.Shang Ping shrugged his shoulders indifferently, who cares about them.God knows, did the instructor at the Madoff Military Academy who was in charge of the cadet assessment lose his mind, and actually wrote the names of these two people on the list of cadets accompanying the team for internship.

"It's nothing, let's go to the restaurant, I'm starving to death."

Austin nodded, since Shang Ping didn't want to say more, he didn't plan to pursue it.With the information network of the South family, he already knew Shang Ping's life experience clearly. Even if he didn't want to know, his great mother found that the person she liked was not a gentle and beautiful lady, but a black-haired woman. When he was a teenager, he was already full of enthusiasm and wished he could find out all the origins of Shang Ping's ancestors.Ms. Diana's emerald green eyes, which are exactly the same as Austin's, exuded a scorching light, "Austin, mother is proud of you!"

When Ms. Diana learned that Austin and Shangping would go to Canon Military Fortress for an internship with the team, she called "Interstellar Honeymoon" with her eyes shining, wishing she could rush to Austin along the phone line and tell her youngest son everything about the honeymoon. matters.This made Austin have to risk being numb by Ms. Diana afterwards, and resolutely hung up the phone halfway.

What interstellar honeymoon?

Could it be that his dear mother regards more than 500 students and instructors of the Madoff Military Academy as air?

"Austin, what are you thinking?"

"It's nothing." Austin withdrew his thoughts, picked up a knife and fork, cut a piece of beef and put it in his mouth. The rich sauce, the fried surface was crispy, but the inside was incredibly tender. I have to admit that the chef of Canon Military Fortress , The cooking skills are really quite good.

"Speaking of which, tomorrow's graduate students will start combat exercises."

"Yes."

"Austin, do you also want to try it out?"

"I don't care. I'll graduate in a year anyway, and it'll be the same then."

"makes sense."

Austin's words reminded Shang Ping that although Shang Ping was lucky enough not to have to board a single-man fighter to participate in the exercise, a year later, no matter what, Shang Ping would have to face the fate of having to participate in actual combat.Even if the opponent is a student of the same period or the garrison fleet, this makes Shang Ping feel quite troubled.

Forget it, there is at least a year left, so I think so much about what to do now.

Shang Ping picked up the cup and drank the sweet and sour juice in one gulp.

"Shang Ping, you don't like sweets, but you like juice?"

"Is it strange?"

"No, I can't tell."

Austin ate up the rest of the meat, not even the green peppers on the plate.Picking up the napkin and wiping his mouth, he slowly started eating dessert. Seeing Austin finish off the piece of cream mousse mouthful by mouthful, Shang Ping just looked at it like this, and felt that his mouth was bitterly sweet. After dinner , Austin and Shangping went back to the dormitory, thinking they just needed to sleep well and wait for the actual combat exercise tomorrow, but unexpectedly, before the lights were turned off, the instructor who led the team suddenly announced an order to all the students.

"Tomorrow's actual combat exercise, the nine junior students who came with the team also need to participate."

what? !

Regarding this sudden order, the students in the graduation period accepted it frankly after the initial surprise.Anyway, they all followed, so it was really a pity that they couldn't board the fighter jet.For these more than 500 young men, nine more or less will not have much impact on this actual combat exercise. They just need to prepare well. The team had a hearty fight.

On the contrary, the nine students who received the order had different expressions.

Shang Ping very much hoped that the order just now was just a joke made by the instructor. Austin still flipped through the military treatise in his hand with a calm expression. Whispering, the remaining few students were attracted by their topic, and they also gathered over one after another.When Shang Ping recovered from the shock and dissatisfaction, he realized that he was being stared at very unkindly by several people.The gray-haired boy was commenting in a mocking tone that he must thank Shang Ping for the opportunity to participate in the actual combat exercise.

"Shang Ping has an adopted person who is the commander of the Sixth Fleet, doesn't he?"

"It would be a big mistake to think that we would thank him for it!"

"Isn't it wonderful to have a colonel's adoptee?"

Shang Ping frowned, feeling that he really didn't need to entangle with them.It's not that he doesn't understand the sense of competition and jealousy in the subconscious of these students, but this is an unavoidable part of human nature, especially in the case of fierce competition, it would be a bit ridiculous to care about it seriously .

Austin snapped the book in his hand, sat on the chair, and turned his head to look at the people on the other side, with mocking eyes in his emerald green eyes.

"Everyone, have you forgotten one thing? Shang Ping's adopter is the commander of the Sixth Fleet, and my father is the commander-in-chief of the Space Fleet."

A very ordinary sentence, not a harsh tone, but it made the temperature in the room drop to freezing point in an instant.Austin is reminding these people how ridiculous it is to speculate and baseless jealousy.

For a full 5 minutes, apart from the sound of breathing, there was no other noise in the room.Shang Ping blinked, a little surprised by Austin's words of self-protection, this big boy said he likes him, isn't it just a talk?

Perhaps it was because Austin's warning took effect. On the second day, several lower grade students headed by the gray-haired boy obviously restrained themselves, but they still couldn't completely get rid of some negative emotions when they looked at Shang Ping. Shang Ping It was only when they were looking forward to today's actual combat exercise too much that their eyes were bloodshot because they didn't sleep well.Regarding Shang Ping's obviously malicious statement, Austin's reaction was to put his arms around Shang Ping's shoulders, and seemingly inadvertently dropped a light kiss on Shang Ping's black hair.

This scene happened to fall into the eyes of Colonel Edgar who was getting off the land vehicle.

The colonel in the military uniform straightened his military cap. That blond boy is the boy who is pursuing him in the baby's mouth?It looks good.But why is that face familiar?

I don’t know if Shang Ping deliberately omitted Austin’s surname when he introduced Austin to Colonel Edgar. This made Colonel Edgar think that when Austin’s handsome face was familiar, he did not expect that this blond boy would be The man was serious before him, but he left behind a mountain of work and was talking on the phone with his wife, the son of David South, the commander-in-chief of the space fleet.
