Chapter 61

Face-Slapping the Interstellar General and His Ger (5)

Editor: ghost

The moment he saw Ding Zhaolin, Zhou Xu knew that he could not avoid his ill-fated relationship with the protagonist. So he smiled and said to Ding Zhaolin, “Hello.”

“Xiao Xu, is it really you? That’s great, your family has been worried about you and I have also been looking for you.” Ding Zhaolin seemed to care about Zhou Xu very much, but seeing as what Ding Zhaolin was wearing was quite different from before, he should have already married Wu Mingdi. However, Zhou Xu didn’t know how far their relationship had developed.

Wu Mingdi couldn’t not speak out this time, but since he was not in the military camp and everyone was in civilian clothes, he didn’t salute, but directly introduced Mu Xinhua to Ding Zhaolin. “General, this is Ding Zhaolin, my wife, the Ger given to me by the Empire. Zhaolin, this is the general of the Empire, Mu Xinhua. What’s more, Colonel Zhou, you seem to know Zhaolin too?”

Ding Zhaolin was stunned. He was first surprised that the man in black casual clothes in front of him was the Empire’s general Mu Xinhua. Secondly, he was surprised that Zhou Xu was a colonel.

Gers’ responsibility was to give birth and were forbidden from the army camps. Women could enter the army, there were female soldiers, but what about Di-ers?

It seemed there was no law accepting or forbidding them from entering the army. Gers weren’t allowed to because of their average body fitness and their small stature. That’s why people also thought that Di-ers weren’t allowed into military camps.

Besides, Gers and Di-ers were not allowed to attend military school after their compulsory education. So how did Zhou Xu become a colonel?

“Xiao Xu, how did you get into the military?” Ding Zhaolin asked.

Zhou Xu smiled coldly. “With my own efforts.”

Ding Zhaolin heard the unhappiness in Zhou Xu’s tone. The other two people on the scene naturally heard it too.

Because he was forced to marry Ding Zhaolin, Wu Mingdi always had complaints about Ding Zhaolin. But no matter what, Ding Zhaolin was still his wife. Hearing Zhou Xu’s tone, his desire to protect erupted and he coldly looked at Zhou Xu. “Colonel, what kind of ability did you rely on? Don’t you think it’s funny?”

Other people may not know, but Wu Mingdi was very clear. Wu Mingdi had asked for Zhou Xu’s name because Mu Xinhua had taken an interest in Zhou Xu at first sight. After that, Zhou Xu had become the general’s logistics soldier, and even directly went to the headquarters a few months later. The feelings between Zhou Xu and the general was an open secret of the military.

Although Wu Mingdi didn’t say it directly, Zhou Xu understood what he wanted to say.

Mu Xinhua naturally understood too. The corners of his mouth lifted as he looked at Wu Mingdi. “Colonel Wu, I apologize if I’m wrong, but Zhou Xu’s abilities aren’t determined by what you say, but by the epaulette he carries on his shoulders. As a soldier, Colonel Wu, you wouldn’t think that this epaulette is a joke, would you?”

Mu Xinhua casually spoke some words and threw the issue back to Wu Mingdi. Most importantly, Wu Mingdi had no way to refute because he also carried the colonel epaulette on his shoulders.

As Wu Mingdi didn’t talk, Ding Zhaolin could only come out to ease the situation. “General, Mingdi didn’t mean it like that, please forgive him. My apologies, I also didn’t know it was taboo to ask about it. I’m sorry Xiao Xu, but in the future, you must absolutely contact your family, they are all very worried about you.”

“I’ll deal with my family’s matters myself, thank you for your concern.” Zhou Xu looked at Ding Zhaolin, then turned his head elsewhere. He really didn’t want to see Ding Zhaolin’s face again.

“That’s good, we’ll go then. Goodbye.” Ding Zhaolin pulled Wu Mingdi away.

Zhou Xu’s face was turned back by Mu Xinhua. “They’re already gone, you don’t have to stare at that flowerpot anymore.”

It was only then that Zhou Xu cheered up. He didn’t want Ding Zhaolin to affect his mood, so he said, “When should we go apply for marriage?”

Mu Xinhua smiled, “How about today?”

Zhou Xu thought about it and replied, “Okay. Maybe in a few days they will assign us a wedding room.”

Mu Xinghua half stood, lightly kissing Zhou Xu over the small table, and said, “I hope there can be one today.”

Zhou Xu and Mu Xinhua continued to talk about marriage. At the same time, Ding Zhaolin was informing Wu Mingdi that Zhou Xu was a Di-er.

“What? He’s a Di-er? But his height is around 1m72, 1m73.”

“I’m not clear about that, but he’s really a Di-er. His blue mole is at the corner of his eyes, I don’t know what method he used to hide it. I was at his side when he hit puberty, so I’m 100% sure.”

“Wait a minute, it seems that the military regulations only stipulate that Gers are not allowed to join the army. It doesn’t say that Di-ers are not allowed to join the army, although no Di-er has ever entered the army so far.”

“Yes, I thought it was strange, that’s why I asked earlier.”

Wu Mingdi thought about the general behind Zhou Xu and then sighed. “Forget it, it has nothing to do with us anyway. By the way, why were you looking for me?”

“I was looking for you because I wanted to talk to you about your little sister, Sun Qingxia.”

“If it’s about her, leave. I don’t want to hear it.”

“Listen to me. If I am wrong, I hope you can point it out to me. Aren’t you my husband?” Ding Zhaolin looked at Wu Mingdi with tearful eyes. Ding Zhaolin was truly good-looking. Wu Mingdi looked at his appearance and remained silent for a while.

Ding Zhaolin felt that he had to work hard because his parents needed him, and as long as he could get Wu Mingdi’s heart, he could have children. Most of the children born by Gers were men. When the time came, he would be able to rely on his son.

“Fine, then say it.”

“Mingdi, I know you like Sun Qingxia, but what I’m trying to say is that in her heart, she has always been thinking about revenge. She knows that her parents were killed by your parents, so she wanted to kill you. She even secretly bought a gun in order to kill you…”

“Shut up.” Wu Mingdi angrily interrupted Ding Zhaolin. “I thought you would say something important. I didn’t think you would slander someone. Yes, I do love her. Unfortunately, I had to marry you because of my parents. However, I will never like you in this life, nor touch you. Even without my sister, I wouldn’t touch you. At first, you said you would be honest, it was enough as long as you could stay in our house, but unexpectedly, you are the kind of despicable person that would stab my sister in the back. Scram. If you dare come to me again, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Wu Mingdi’s face reddened from anger. He had really thought that Ding Zhaolin was an obedient person, so he had married him according to his parents’ wishes, but it turned out that he was disappointed.

Ding Zhaolin was yelled at by Wu Mingdi until he was in tears. He was originally born beautiful–with his tears falling, he was even more bewitching, but no matter how enchanting he was, it couldn’t enter the eyes of the blind.

After Wu Mingdi left, Ding Zhaolin wiped away his tears. He thought for a while in silence and grit his teeth. He could only show Wu Mingdi evidence, the more straightforward the evidence was, the better. Otherwise, Wu Mingdi might still remember Sun Qingxia’s good points.

Two days after Wu Mingdi returned to the army, he heard that Zhou Xu and Mu Xinhua had gotten married, and that the Empire’s marshals bore witness to it.

Shaking his head, Wu Mingdi thought to himself, it seems that Mu Xinhua was crazy. Even if Mu Xinhua had greater achievements, it would all be useless without children.

In front of the Empire’s marshals, Zhou Xu took off the skin-coloured plaster from the corner of his eye. From then on, all the people in the army knew that a Di-er had become a colonel and married Mu Xinhua.

Zhou Xu once again became a legend — this time he became the legend of all Di-ers.

It was unclear if it was because Wu Mingdi now knew that Zhou Xu was a Di-er, but when Wu Mingdi saw Zhou Xu again, he suddenly remembered the Zhou Xu he saw that day in the dining hall. In the dim light, Zhou Xu had played the piano intently. At that time, he had felt a little sorry because he had thought Zhou Xu was a man. But now when he saw Zhou Xu again, Wu Mingdi felt that he found Zhou Xu annoying without any reason.

Wu Mingdi was very upset with this sudden realization, but he also didn’t think that this kind of feeling was like in the romantic sense. He obviously liked his sister, Sun Qingxia, so what was he feeling towards Zhou Xu? Wu Mingdi furrowed his brows.

He could not make sense of his thoughts, so he could only drop the subject.

A month after Zhou Xu married Mu Xinhua, the two of them finally got a new house. Except, as soon as they got the key to the new house, Zhou Xu ran.

Yes, he “ran”.

Mu Xinhua had never seen Zhou Xu so nervous. His running speed was so fast that Mu Xinhua needed to do his best in order to catch up with him.

They ran so fast that they didn’t have time to talk, but Mu Xinhua knew that Zhou Xu would never be so upset for no reason. There was definitely something wrong, so he would never abandon Zhou Xu at this time.

Zhou Xu quickly ran to the control room and hurriedly shouted to the person in charge of observation. “Wei, wei, can you hear me, can you hear me, I’m Zhou Xu, I’m Zhou Xu.”

“I can hear you, colonel, what are your orders?”

“Quickly check the interstellar coordinates 23 / 45 / 397 / 106 and the surrounding area. Hurry, our radar may be blocked! Use manual search!”

“Understood, colonel.”

Zhou Xu spoke quickly and clearly, and the observation team immediately began to investigate according to Zhou Xu’s words. After a few seconds, feedback was sent back. “Reporting, reporting, enemy attack, enemy attack! The Royal Arms unit of the Ox Star are incoming. There are a total of three large-scale spacecrafts.”

Zhou Xu’s intuition was never wrong, especially in the sense of danger. This was the lesson and result of dying a hundred times. When he felt the danger, he suddenly remembered that there had been such a war in the last life.

In the last world, because the other side attacked quickly and avoided their radar scanning, it had resulted in major losses, with more than a dozen casualties. There were also more than 40 mechas destroyed.

This time, Zhou Xu didn’t want this kind of history to repeat.

“How fast are they going?” Zhou Xu asked.

“97 lightspeeds per hour.”

“Good. Give me the data of the three large spaceships.”

“Yes, the three spaceships have the same body. In terms of light cubes, each spaceship is about 1600 light cubes.”

Zhou Xu calculated in his head. He knew that this volume could carry about 50 mechas. Good, this way they knew exactly what the situation was like.

Zhou Xu ordered the observation team, “Continue to observe and give me the feedbacks at any time. In addition, pay attention to the interstellar coordinates 24 / 85 / 597 / 796. If there are any problems, report it immediately.”

“Understood.”

Hanging up, Zhou Xu turned his body towards Mu Xinhua. Mu Xinhua possessed the highest military rank between the people present on the scene — Zhou Xu naturally reported back to him.

Zhou Xu stood straight and saluted. His voice was loud and powerful. “Reporting, Ox Star is attacking, they have three warships and approximately 150 mechas. The distance to our side is about 270 light years. Please, give instructions.”

“Engage the enemies!”
