MTL - I Heard That I Am a Scumbag, God of War Alpha-Chapter 33 bluff
The sun had already set in the west, and the light was dim.
The light was on in the kitchen of the major general’s house. When Chen E entered, Zhuang Yan was watching the fire while watching the recipe on the computer.
Alpha hung up his coat, put down his briefcase, changed his shoes and walked into the kitchen.
There is the aroma of food in the room, and the smell makes people move their index fingers. Chen E frowned and asked, "Didn't you ask 408 to buy it?"
Zhuang Yan raised his eyes: "I want to eat what I made."
Chen E hummed.
"You do not want it?"
He stopped talking and walked around the kitchen with his hands tied. After Zhuang Yan read the recipe, he had to tiptoe to take down the plate from a high place and adjust the proportion of the sauce.
Chen E reached out, took it off easily, and put it on the kitchen counter.
"Thank you." Zhuang Yan said.
When Omega lowers his head to pour the sauce, two swirls will appear on the top of his head.
Chen E asked, "Want to help?"
After being silent for half a second, Zhuang Yan politely declined: "I don't think the food you cooked last time was very tasty."
The atmosphere froze for a while.
Zhuang Yan raised his head and glanced at Chen E, then changed his mind and said, "Can you help me open the seasoning package over there?"
Several bottles are obviously similar in length, but have different characters written on them. Soy sauce, vinegar, olive oil, as well as oyster sauce, light soy sauce, and fish sauce that Chen E has never tried.
He frowned: "Why are there so many?"
Alpha has strong hands and is quick to drive. Zhuang Yan didn't say thank you this time, but took it quietly, poured oil and salt on the plate.
There is a crisp sound when the spoon hits the porcelain wall while stirring.
"When I was in the Bojiang Star Region," Zhuang Yan said slowly, "I heard from Principal Wen that you actually cooked by yourself when you were young."
"She told you that too."
Zhuang Yan looked at him, Chen E's eyelashes drooped slightly, but there was no obvious displeasure on his face.
"Did you say anything else?"
Zhuang Yan said softly: "There is a little more about your mother."
Chen E said, "Yes."
The pot on the stove was opened, Zhuang Yan quickly turned down the fire and let it simmer slowly.
After finishing his work, the pretty boy turned his head, with a cautious expression: "Are you not angry?"
There's nothing to be angry about. Chen E said: "When I was young, I made whatever I wanted, and my mother ate whatever I wanted. She didn't pay much attention to it. After she was gone, I didn't bother to do it myself."
He paused, and his tone was cold: "Zhuang Yan, what kind of expression do you have, that you feel sorry for me?"
Zhuang Yan shook his head quickly.
But Omega's eyes are very clear, black and white are distinct, and he can't hide any emotions.
Chen E wanted to kiss such eyes, but also hated his past for being too humble and embarrassed in front of Zhuang Yan.
Zhuang Yan didn't speak anymore, and turned to look at the fire on the furnace door and the bubbles churning out of the casserole.
Chen E opened the light brain to look at it, put it down again, and finally said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Zhuang Yan, come here."
There was nothing else to do in the kitchen, so Zhuang Yan walked over meekly.
Before taking two steps, Chen E firmly held his upper arm and staggered into Alpha's arms.
The weather hadn't fully warmed up yet, but Chen E's clothes were very thin, as if he wasn't afraid of the cold at all. His body temperature was a little high, and his chest was firm. The tip of Zhuang Yan's nose hit his hard shoulder, so sore that he couldn't speak for a long time.
She thought she was going to be kissed by Chen E.
It didn't work out, the Alpha youth just silently stroked the glands on the back of his neck with his rough fingertips.
The heartbeat was messed up, and after a while, Zhuang Yan said in an unsteady voice: "I'm going to close the furnace door."
Chen E let go of his arms and let Zhuang Yan go.
Once the fire is off, it's time to serve the food. Zhuang Yan opened the drawer, trying to find where the oven gloves were.
Chen E said, "Stay aside."
He stepped aside in a daze, and saw Chen E raised his sleeves, revealing his muscular forearms.
There is a thick layer of calluses on Alpha's fingers, which is not afraid of being scalded. He directly lifted the casserole, then turned to ask Zhuang Yan.
"Where to put it?"
Zhuang Yan put the placemat in the center: "Here."
Putting down the casserole, Zhuang Yan ordered Chen E to serve the rice. Chen E frowned, but there was no sign of reluctance.
Finally, there is another dish in Zhuang Yan.
There was a little fume in the kitchen, and Chen E didn't go out, so he stood silently by the side and waited.
When the dishes were out of the pan, it was still Chen E who brought them to the table. Zhuang Yan washed her hands and sat down opposite Alpha.
Today's rice is good, with clear grains and a rich and full rice fragrance. The chicken in the clay pot is moderately salty, tender and tasty. The green vegetables are also crisp and sweet.
After all, it is Zhuang Yan who is very serious about everything he does. If he cooks so hard, the food he cooks must be delicious.
Chen E usually eats like a storm, but today he moves his chopsticks slowly, as if he cherishes his food.
Zhuang Yan asked with bright eyes: "Is it to your taste?"
Zhuang Yan was born in a family with a good atmosphere, and was raised with a precious, tolerant instinct since childhood.
From a young age, as long as he was stared at by his gentle eyes, Chen E could hardly stand up the surly thorns in his body.
"Not bad." Chen E said.
So Zhuang Yan smiled with crooked eyebrows.
The tableware, pots and bowls after the meal are cleaned by robots, and Chen E still has some things to deal with. So Zhuang Yan also dug up the information of the rematch from the optical brain.
There is only one study room in the house, Zhuang Yan hesitated and said, "Then I'll go to the game room."
Chen E frowned and glanced at him: "I won't disturb you."
Zhuang Yan could only obediently follow him into the study.
The table belongs to the banquet. Alpha sat down on the sofa, stepping on the carpet with long legs at a slight angle.
As expected, Chen E was very quiet, only occasionally making a slight sound when flipping the paper and annotating and signing.
Next week, I will go to see the site selection of the airport. Zhuang Yan will mark the design requirements and topographical maps on the memorandum.
This has been focused until very late.
It was Zhuang Yan who finished his work first, put down his brain and stretched.
There is a very faint, alpha pheromone smell in the room. Chen E leaned on the back of the sofa, flipping the document to the next page with a tired expression.
After a while, Chen E looked up: "What are you looking at me for?"
Caught off guard by Chen E, Zhuang Yan's cheeks burned up, and he hastily looked away.
I also felt that it couldn't be like this, so I had to pretend to turn my gaze back naturally.
Zhuang Yan said in a calm tone as much as possible: "I'm thinking about tomorrow's dinner."
Chen E's eyes were dark and he didn't speak.
"Is there anything in particular you want to eat?"
"It's all right." Chen E paused, "Are you still planning to do it yourself?"
"Now that I'm more free, I'll do it a few more times. If I'm busy studying in the future, I won't have time to do it if I want to eat."
Chen E hummed, lowered his eyes and continued to read the official documents.
But after a long time, I didn't turn to the next page.
So spent the rest of the day like this.
Zhuang Yan found out that Alpha, who always said that whatever is casual, is actually a bit picky.
Chen E doesn't like to eat fish, he hates thorns, and he will start to frown unconsciously after eating.
He rarely moves his chopsticks when it comes to seafood, but he is very patient when peeling shrimp shells. The last time the Zhuang Banquet cooked a plate of shrimp, Chen E peeled off the shell with a cold expression, put the shrimp meat in front of the Zhuang Banquet, and even urged:
"Eat it while it's hot."
In the end, I only tasted a little, and most of this plate of shrimp was fed to Zhuang Yan.
Perhaps it was because he had been in the army for a long time, but Chen E's tone of voice was hard, always a bit like an order.
When he wanted to touch Zhuang Yan, he was not good at speaking, he would just force Zhuang Yan to come over, or directly pull him into his arms.
But there is a physical difference between Alpha and Omega after all, his inadvertent movements often leave some marks on Zhuang Yan's wrist or arm.
It doesn't really hurt, it just takes a while.
Zhuang Yan is not a delicate person, and he never complained to Chen E.
Later, in the kitchen, I rolled up my sleeves and washed my hands. Chen E's eyes fell, and after a while, he turned around and took the medicine box.
Chen E wiped off the water on Zhuang Yan's hands, then frowned, and rubbed the ointment on the bruise with his rough fingertips.
At the beginning, the kneading was still very heavy, Zhuang Yan couldn't help shrinking back. Only then did Chen E slowly try to find a more suitable strength.
"I don't know much either," he said.
Not very good at taking good care of an Omega.
"I know you didn't mean it." Zhuang Yan said.
The ointment that fell on his wrist was scalded by Chen E's body temperature, and he was about to blush again.
Once the medicine was applied to his wrist, Zhuang Yan quickly retracted his hands.
But there was still displeasure in Chen E's eyes, and he asked, "Is there any more on the arm?"
Zhuang Yan shook his head.
"I'll take a look."
Zhuang Yan's skin is thin, and it is obvious when there is blood on his cheeks. Amber pupils were moist, and he shook his head again in embarrassment.
Chen E's attitude is still very firm, and he insists on checking it himself.
Zhuang Yan's earlobes started to burn, so he leaned over and kissed him lightly on the side of his face.
Alpha's breathing was also stagnant.
His eyebrows stretched slightly, but his expression seemed to be at a loss.
How strange, when Chen E kissed by himself, he was extremely tough, as if he wanted to eat Zhuang Yan with a vicious aura.
But being kissed so coaxingly by Zhuang Yan reveals clumsiness.
Zhuang Yan remembered what the teacher told him about saving small animals when he was in middle school. When wild birds feel insecure or threatened, they will forcefully prop up their wings, trying to make themselves look fierce.
There are also stray cats, who also want to bluff their hair.
Maybe humans and animals do have common instincts in some respects.
Finally, after a week of classes, Zhuang Yan had to reduce the time spent in the major general's house, and had to go back to the dormitory to pack his clothes and luggage.
After receiving the news, Chen E only replied with three words: "Got it."
408 told Zhuang Yan in a private chat that before, Chen E brought work home, but now he doesn't even bother to come back.
It said: "After you leave, I will definitely charge by myself every night."
Followed by a melancholy cat lowered its head.
Zhuang Yan replied to it that the brave dog rushed forward.
"Just go for a few days, I'll be back soon."
At that time, it was said that X University was investigating the student cheating in the exam, and Mingzhou and his friends were also involved.
Many spectators on the forum are betting whether they will be punished or be suspended from school.
Chen E never mentioned these things, and Zhuang Yan didn't pay attention because he rarely checked the forum.
And Xiao Qin, who frequently browses the forum, also has no time to turn on the optical brain because of the rematch.
After the luggage was packed, before leaving the house, Chen E finally made a video call to Zhuang Yan himself.
At half past ten, the lights on Alpha's side were very bright, and the background was a plain white wall. It could be seen that he was still working overtime in the military headquarters.
Zhuang Yan was afraid of being heard by Qin Heyu, so he stepped on the carpet and walked back to his room, closing the door gently.
Chen E said, "Zhuang Yan."
His voice was low, with a hint of coldness and restraint.
But for some reason, when he heard Chen E calling himself like that, Zhuang Yan felt his heart beating wildly.
Zhuang Yan said: "I will board the ship tomorrow morning, I am going to sleep."
"Ok."
"After you finish your work, go to bed early."
Chen E didn't speak, and watched Zhuang Yan through the screen.
Maybe a boy who is too beautiful will make people feel that he can't catch him.
Like it is also like a whim, not qualitative. Now I am obedient and sweet saying that I want to pursue you, maybe I haven't seen you for a while, and I changed my mind when I came back.
He pressed impatiently: "Remember to charge the optical brain, and contact me at any time if there is anything to do."
"I'll remember."
"Send a copy of the itinerary to 408."
Zhuang Yan said gently: "It's been posted. If there are any other changes, I will report to 408."
Chen E didn't respond, and remained silent for a few seconds. His tense expression finally relaxed a bit.
"Go to sleep." Chen E said.
But he didn't take the initiative to cut off the call. Zhuang Yan put the light brain on the head of the bed, got into bed by himself, yawned, and glanced at the screen again.
Alpha read the paperwork with his eyes downcast, as if he didn't notice the movement at Zhuang Yan's side at all.
Zhuang Yan poked the screen.
"Good night, Chen E."
Zhuang Yan's earlobe was hot, and before Chen E raised his head, he slapped off the lights and closed the screen. Then buried his face in the pillow, waiting for the heartbeat that was about to pop out of his chest to calm down slowly.
The starship at eight o'clock, you have to go out before six o'clock.
Qin Heyu looked like he hadn't had a good rest, and fell asleep with his head tilted as soon as he got in the car, and his head was also knocked on Zhuang Yan's shoulder.
In order not to disturb him, Zhuang Yan sent messages with as little movement as possible to report the itinerary to important people.
"Going to Cape Town for a few days and be back by next Wednesday."
Chen E replied with a full stop, indicating that he received it.
After receiving it, Ning Huabi forwarded the news to Zhuang Jin. Meaning, take care of it.
Zhuang Jin glanced at the news from his mother and younger brother on his computer, and raised his eyebrows.
He first replied to Ning Huabi: "I know."
Then he turned around and read a frightening piece of news, reserved and dignified without saying a word.
With a shock in his brain, Zhuang Yan moved lightly and opened—
[Cape Town stardom is rampant, Omega travels alone late at night, which may cause serious consequences]
Zhuang Yan was silent for half a second, and then suddenly noticed that this so-called news was published ten years ago.
If you search again, recent articles are all praising the effectiveness of fighting crime in that place, and the people's sense of happiness has increased year by year.
And I was going with my professor and classmates, so how could I have the opportunity to travel alone late at night!
Zhuang Yan replied maliciously: "Thank you brother for caring about me."
Zhuang Jin: "?"
Zhuang Jin: "It's good to do it yourself."
When they arrived at the airport, Zhuang Yan woke up Xiao Qin and went to the waiting room to meet the professor.
Boarding and everything went smoothly, and we are both classmates. After finding a good position on the starship, everyone started to play around.
Since four o'clock in the morning that day, Chen E has been receiving urgent alerts.
The intelligence department of the border guards has detected the latest intelligence, and the remaining rebels are planning something.
The intercepted snippets of communication were vague, and a completely different encryption method was used, and the intelligence department was still working overtime to crack it.
If the situation is serious, the military department wrote in an internal letter that Major General Chen E needs to leave at any time and rush to the border.
After all, he is the youngest general with the most experience in commanding operations in recent years. He said one thing at the border and acted vigorously, so he was the most suitable candidate.
Chen E replied: "Received."
Because it was still in the wait-and-see stage, Chen E didn't tell Zhuang Yan.
He didn't want to see worry in Zhuang Yan's beautiful and clear eyes, and he was afraid that Zhuang Yan wasn't worried at all.
Being cared about by others is a very strange feeling to Chen E. He has never had it, so he is bound to show his cowardice.
In contrast, Zhuang Yan's life is much simpler.
At ten o'clock, he sent a photo of playing cards with his classmates, and then said with a smile:
"It's the first time I play this kind of card, and I haven't lost yet."
After almost twenty minutes, Chen E replied: "I will too."
Zhuang Yan: "Next time we will play together when you are free. The milk dog wags its tail.gif"
It was a very childish dialogue, but Zhuang Yan couldn't help but want to laugh after seeing it a few times.
The classmate who played cards on the opposite side exploded when he lost: "Xiao Yan, you actually mocked me! You laughed even after you won the grand slam. Come on, replace this villain with me."
Zhuang Yan gave up his seat with crooked eyebrows, and half-truthfully complained to Chen E:
"They lose so much that they don't want to play with me anymore. I'll learn first."
Chen E:.
There is a single bedroom next to the lounge, and the school has limited funds, so the room is not big.
A bed, a table. If you want to study, you can only sit on the bed.
People playing cards and laughing outside sounded a bit noisy, Zhuang Yan gently closed the door, took out a pen and paper to write calculations on the table.
He was so focused after he was immersed that he almost missed the sound of his classmates knocking on the door.
It was Qin Heyu who pushed the door open and came in: "Xiaoyan, do you want to eat?"
Zhuang Yan thought for a while: "I've just finished half of this question, you go first, I'll find you after I finish the calculation, it won't be too long."
Qin Heyu: "Okay, let's go first and save a place for you."
Then call friends out of the lounge and go to the restaurant.
There is only a buffet on the starship. When Xiao Qin saw the food, he almost forgot about his friends.
The vacant seats have been left for a long time, everyone is almost finished eating, and the Zhuang Banquet has not come out yet.
Someone said: "Is that question too difficult? Let's just pack a meal and give it to Xiaoyan."
"Yes." Qin Heyu said.
Because he didn't know what Zhuang Yan wanted to eat, he poked his roommate on the optical brain.
There was no reply for five minutes.
Qin Heyu frowned, thinking that Zhuang Yan was too obsessed with doing the questions today, so he made a phone call.
Still no answer.
"Order whatever you want," Qin Heyu said, "Anyway, Xiaoyan is not picky and eats everything."
The other students asked the waiter for a lunch box, filled some fried rice, and then piled beautiful dishes on it.
Talking and laughing all the way through the selection, it took almost five minutes. Qin Heyu picked up the box and waved to the people next to him: "Then I'll go back to give Zhuang Yan first."
"Okay, see you later."
But classmate Xiao Qin opened the door, but there was no sign of Zhuang Yan.
At first, I wondered if Zhuang Yan went to the bathroom.
But he suddenly noticed that the homework paper on the table was messy, and the optical brain was thrown in the corner, as if there were traces of being stepped on it.
Qin Heyu's heart skipped a beat.
He exited the room slowly, not daring to move. He just stood at the door and anxiously contacted the teacher who led the team.
"Professor Xu, something may have happened to Zhuang Yan. His room is messy, and he hasn't taken his brain. He doesn't know where he is."
Qin Heyu was so anxious that he cried a little: "Teacher, I want to contact the starship patrol to see if I can find him in the surveillance."
The long-distance starships are equipped with patrol officers, and they rushed to the scene after receiving the notice.
There were some problems with the surveillance cameras in this area, and the relevant staff in charge said that it was originally planned to carry out repairs after arriving in Cape Town Star.
But at this moment, Zhuang Yan disappeared inexplicably.
There was no trace of him on board. That night, the patrol police, equipped with guns and documents, knocked on the door of each passenger's room, searched every room, and found nothing.
Although Zhuang Yan's own room was messy, there was no sign of a fight.
According to the analysis report, that should indeed be the first scene of the accident.
Zhuang Yan himself was probably held hostage or fainted, so he didn't call for help or struggle.
Qin Heyu thought anxiously, this is not like a robbery, after all, the expensive optical brain was also left at the scene and was not taken away.
——Only abducting a large living person, does this group of people have any special purpose?
The level of investigation and technical support of the Starship Patrol is limited, and many things have to wait until the next day to land before we can have a follow-up.
Xiao Qin was very frustrated, and went back to the room to face Zhuang Yan's optical brain, struggling for most of the day.
Qin Heyu actually knew Zhuang Yan's password, although he had never used it.
But now that the matter is urgent, the only person he can contact and help Zhuang Yan is Chen E in Zhuang Yan's address book.
How should I tell Chen E?
They didn't know each other at all, they just met once or twice occasionally.
After all, Chen E is a major general of the military department. He is majestic and taciturn on weekdays, and his sense of distance is too strong. Qin Heyu is actually a little afraid of him.
Qin Heyu hesitated, and began to struggle with the manuscript.
Halfway through the thought, a new message suddenly popped up—
"Xiao Yan, has your itinerary changed? Cat shakes his head.gif"
The sender ID is [Major General Chen's robot assistant].
Qin Heyu:!
It would be great to be able to talk to the robot, he immediately typed: "I'm Xiaoyan's classmate."
Then he continued to type quickly: "Something happened to Xiaoyan on the starship, and he couldn't be found."
A second later, the robot: "Received."
The robot seems to have a high AI, and it handles things more seriously than the patrolmen on the starship.
It kindly asked Qin Heyu to take the optical brain to go around the room where Zhuang Yan disappeared, and then took pictures of all angles with the camera. Then there, you can do data analysis.
Qin Heyu said uncertainly: "The police may have flipped through the scene before."
Robot: "It's okay, I'll use AI to do the math."
After finishing, Qin Heyu stopped recording and couldn't help but sigh.
The robot comforted: "Don't worry, we have some channels that the police can't reach, we can get Xiao Yan back as soon as possible. Thank you for your hard work, I will tell you later if there is any good news."
This is the only way to go now.
Classmate Xiao Qin added anxiously: "If you still need any help from me, you can call me at any time."
Robot: "Yeah."
Putting down the optical brain, Qin Heyu thought to himself, wondering if this robot assistant has passed on the news.
I hope that Zhuang Yan will be safe and sound and be found soon.
central star.
"Xiaoyan is gone." 408 said.
At the same time, all relevant clues and details, travel routes and areas that need to be searched are all sent to Chen E's optical brain.
Alpha frowned and glanced over. The disappearance happened at noon local time, and it has been more than half a day since now.
"Why did you say it now?"
"The Starship Patrol classified the matter at a very low level, so they didn't report it much. I got the news from my friend from Xiaoyan."
The identity of the person who took away Zhuang Yan was unknown, and he also left the optical brain behind to avoid being traced.
408 said: "But those people seem to have forgotten to take off Xiaoyan's necklace, and I can receive some weak signals here."
This is the signal usually used to monitor Zhuang Yan's whereabouts.
Chen E didn't trust the police force in that star field, so he only brought his documents and necessities, and was ready to travel within three minutes.
"Prepare the car, and help me transfer the mecha to Kepler." He said in a strong tone, "Notify the military department, I will be on standby there."
"clear."
The most urgent thing is to quickly find Zhuang Yan.
It was rare for him to turn on autopilot, and he lowered his head and continued to read the information sent by 408.
The small signal point representing Zhuang Yan is indeed very weak, which may be shielded and separated by too long a distance.
Chen E squeezed the space between his eyebrows, and took a serious look. Suddenly realizing that something was wrong, he dug up the information sent by other departments about the change of the rebel army.
The details that were vague and unexplainable before were all confirmed in this instant.
—The target of their actions turned out to be Zhuang Yan.
Alpha's tone became cold: "408, help me re-analyze these two pieces of information and make a sand table model."
The 408 never refuses any order, it says "OK."
But why did you take Zhuang Yan away?
How could Omega, who grew up on the central star and never set foot on the border, become the target of the rebels?
Chen E's back stiffened, his eyes were fierce, and he waited for 408 to analyze and verify his intuition and hunch.
He used to have a dead life, no worries and no worries. Even though he suffered several serious injuries that were almost fatal, he was never afraid.
But Zhuang Banquet is different.
There are not many people that Chen E cares about in his life. From his childhood to now, there is only one person.
Zhuang Yan is an Omega that he wants to hide under his wings, no one will touch it, and no one can take it away.
