Chapter 63: Chapter 63

Day two.

"This is the classic Battle of the Moran Sea of the First Star Corps, which one of you would like to come up and challenge us?" The tactics teacher asked.

Gu Tunan stood up, and after he did, the military cadets who had been eager to try out hesitated, after all, no one wanted to be the dish to be abused.

"Xie Ruhang , you do it." The tactics teacher said by name.

Gu Tunan and Xie Ruhang stand in front of a simulated sand table, Gu Tunan holding an Imperial Chess piece and Xie Ruhang holding a Federation Chess piece.

The Battle of Moran Sea is a classic battle in which the Federation repulsed the Imperial Army. In this battle, although the Imperial Army was strong, it was unfamiliar with the terrain and climate, and the Federation suffered a great loss due to its contempt for the Federation, while the Federation's disadvantage was in its weapons and equipment.

The Imperial Army, commanded by Gu Tunan, is steady and steady, while the Federal Army, led by Xie Ruhang, is dangerous and radical, and they are so close that the Tactics Teacher stops them due to time constraints.

"Both of you are very good." The tactics teacher commented with satisfaction, "The two of you have one offense and one defense, and your styles complement each other, so why don't we make you study partners from now on, learning from each other and promoting each other."

Xie Ruhang : "......?"

Wait, does that sound familiar?

Gu Tunan nodded coldly and said to Xie Ruhang, who seemed to have fallen into a state of stasis, "We'll settle this unfinished game later."

No, no, how did you just naturally accept the teacher's arrangement and still think about us later?

The pupils in the phoenix eyes vibrated wildly, and the words Tang Bai sent last night surfaced in his mind:

"Gu Tunan outwardly treats Xie Ruhang with indifference and even disdain, but in reality, Gu Tunan cares about Xie Ruhang very much in his heart."

Gray-blue eyes stared at him lazily, Gu Tunan's cold demeanor more like surveying an insignificant blade of grass on the side of the road than greeting his future partner.

That expression can't be the look of a place that cares very much in your heart no matter how you look at it!!!!

Calm down, trust your eyes! Gu Tunan is just being cold and dismissive of you. Don't be brainwashed by Tang Bai!

Gu Tunan saw that Xie Ruhang did not respond for half a day, he simply did not wait any longer, and walked towards his seat, with an air of indifference that he did not see eye to eye with such unruly people.

It was this arrogance that endeared Xie Ruhang to his heart: yes, that's right, he must have been infected by Tang Bai just now to create the horrible illusion that Gu Tunan isn't fond of me.

Xie Ruhang wipes a cold sweat from the corner of his forehead and returns to his seat.

It's also just a coincidence that this study partner, yes, it's a horrible coincidence!

"Let's analyze the papers from yesterday's lunch test, yesterday's perfect papers were Bai Li and Mo Zheng, these two students did very well ......"

Tang Bai browses through his test papers, and he loses points on some of the military academy's proprietary courses, which are written by the academy's teachers themselves, not for sale to the public, and not within Tang Bai's scope of self-study.

With more than a week to go before the specialty course visit, Tang Bai wasn't sure if he would be able to master the material in a short period of time, so he squeezed his sore thighs with his hands and looked up to listen to Cheng Wenhui's class.

Cheng Wenhui stood on the podium and quoted from the classics with ease, making a simple lesson on test paper analysis fascinating.

Tang Bai listened with great interest, not realizing that Mr. Cheng, who looked weak and vulnerable yesterday, was so charming on the podium.

Soon after one class passed, Cheng Wenhui called out to Tang Bai, "I've read your papers, and your missed points are all related to the school's exclusive textbook, I can't give you any help in other classes, but for this one of mine, I can usually tutor you, what do you think?"

Tang Bai, of course, nodded happily; he was fretting about how he was going to review, and Cheng Wenhui was the one who had written the textbook for the course, and there was no one who knew more about teaching than him!

Tang Bai followed Cheng Wenhui to the office. Cheng Wenhui is a very responsible teacher, helping Tang Bai to highlight the questions and explaining them patiently and meticulously, and with Cheng Wenhui's help, Tang Bai's study efficiency was so high that he could fly.

A glass of water was placed in front of Tang Bai, "Tang Bai, do you have any plans to run for chief?" Cheng Wenhui pushed up his glasses and asked in a warm voice.

Tang Bai looked up from the sea of questions as he graciously admitted, "Yes."

Cheng Wenhui nodded and encouraged, "Although it is difficult to master these materials in a short period of time, your teacher believes that with your intelligence and hard work, you will be able to make up the shortfall."

The novel in my head said that the head of the mechanical department is Cheng Yangbin, Tang Bai heard that Cheng Yangbin and Cheng Wenhui are half-brothers, but Cheng Wenhui is a commoner son, not valued in the Cheng family.

It was mentioned in the novel that Cheng Yangbin's two high scores when competing for the chief were the votes and the grades in his major courses. Tang Bai understandably had a high support rate for the votes, and in the timeline of the novel at the time, Cheng Yangbin happened to win the mecha manufacturing competition, and his persona of a mecha manufacturing genius was deeply rooted in people's hearts, and he was an idol of the Mechanical Department.

However, it is a bit strange that Cheng Yangbin's grades in his major courses are also high enough to be almost perfect, did Cheng Wenhui also help Cheng Yangbin tutor him in this way?

But the relationship between Cheng Yangbin and Cheng Wenhui doesn't look good.

Could it be that Cheng's family pressured Cheng Wenhui to give Cheng Yangbin a question?

Tang Bai held up his cup and took a few sips, "Mr. Cheng, would you like to eat the excellent dishes from the Culinary Department of the Ceremonial Academy? My friends came to bring me lunch at noon today, but they made a lot more, and I can't finish it all by myself."

Cheng Wenhui froze for a moment, his eyes falling to the desktop full of things, "I'll organize the desk then, it just happens to be the dining table."

Tang Bai messaged Xiao Cheng after reserving a bento for Cheng Wenhui, "Are you out of class now?"

Career: "Class is almost over, what's up?"

Not falling in love and getting a career: "Trying to bribe you."

Career: "?"

Do not fall in love and engage in career: "Use love bento to bribe our Commander Xiao to find a quality alpha in this department ~ No lunch is not allowed to go to the cafeteria, you have to come to me to get a boxed lunch!"

Xie Ruhang saw that the location was the office of the professor of the Mechanical Department, his first reaction was to refuse, although the Command Department was very mysterious in the Federal Military Academy, and the list of the Command Department would not be published, but the professors of each department had the right to check the internal list of students.

If he goes to the office under a false identity, if the professor recognizes his identity in one fell swoop ......

Career: "I have a secret base at school, it's very secluded, would you like to see it?"

Is this an invitation for two?

Tang Bai had a heartbeat, and since Xiao Cheng was still in class, he was ready to finish this lunch of his own before going to find Xiao Cheng and see the secret base that the other party was talking about.

Xie Ruhang was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Tang Bai's promise, and then he received another message from Tang Bai on his cell phone: "Brother Xie, I remember you don't have classes in the morning, are you in the dormitory now? Today's lunch my classmates made a lot of summer dishes oh ......"

Xie Ruhang : "......"

Ten minutes later, Xie Ruhang sat down in front of Tang Bai and ate a hearty lunch.

Twenty minutes later, Xie Ruhang, who had eaten to his heart's content, said goodbye to Tang Bai and quickly went to the shower to change his clothes, to wash off the smell of lunch, and then skillfully put on the human skin mask, not forgetting to put on the mechanical button, Xie Ruhang, who had finished dressing, hurried to the west gate of the Mechanical College to wait for Tang Bai.

Tang Bai, carrying a drawing board and a lunch box, happily joins Xie Ruhang.

Tang Bai knows that military cadets train a lot, plus alpha's eat incredibly well, so he brought a super generous lunch this time, and the bento was a bit tiring to carry, "Look! I brought you a Big Mac!"

His black eyes stared blankly for a moment, and Xie Ruhang looked at the generous portion of bento, and with great difficulty he managed to squeeze out a smile.

"You must be starving, right?" Tang Bai said, "Eat more later~"

The alpha at his side didn't say anything, and Tang Bai looked up to see dark eyes staring off into the distance in a slightly melancholy manner.

Mysterious, sad, they say that the eyes are the windows of the soul, Tang Bai seems to be able to see the other side of the untouchable inner world from the eyes of Xiao Cheng, this is the eyes of the only belong to the temperament type of handsome man to kill it.

Tang Bai, whose head was full of pink bubbles, thought slightly shyly.

At the moment, Xie Ruhang is thinking, "No, I'm full, I want to burp.

The secret base Xie Ruhang discovered was a secluded water gazebo on which to sit and watch the fish swimming in the water.

"Wow, this koi is so beautiful, it's a pity I didn't bring any fish food." Tang Bai looks on with regret at the schools of carp swaying about, but with the thought of having a feeder right next to him, Tang Bai is motivated to open his lunch box and get ready to feed.

"This soup is really super good, you come to have a sip, there is a beauty effect oh ~" "This seafood mango marjoram sounds like a dark cuisine, but it's very delicious, but unfortunately I'm allergic to mango can't eat it, come on, you can eat more!" "And this dish too ......"

No, it's too much. You'll probably burp if you force it down!

Xie Ruhang's mind races as he tries to salvage his stomach pouch.

"Ever since my mother passed away, no one other than you has ever given me such a cozy feeling." Xie Ruhang said softly to Tang Bai who kept giving him food.

Tang Bai stopped his food-pinching motion and looked at the alpha in front of him, who was in a state of reminiscence.

"She was very pretty, with phoenix eyes and long hair." Originally, she just wanted to change the subject, but when she talked about the person she remembered, Xie Ruhang's conversation suddenly opened up.

"Her cooking was delicious because she spared no oil when she sautéed, and she told me that she didn't like meat and told me to eat more."

Xie Ruhang looked down at the dishes Tang Bai had chucked into a small mountain pile and said softly, "She had a lot of demands on me, telling me to study hard and work as a servant in a noble's house in the future, which was a good future in her eyes."

Tang Bai doesn't know what to say, but can only draw with his drawing board while listening quietly.

"My father worked in the underground arena, so my mother has always told me that our family's money is my father's hard-earned money from one ring to the next."

"When I was very young she would sit in the audience with me in her arms and watch the ring performances, her voice was so loud that sometimes I felt like the arena was full of her cheering, and when my father won and everyone was cheering, my mother was the only one who was in tears over my father's covered body."

"Our family had some savings at that time, but she said she didn't want to have any more children, she wanted to leave all her love to me. Because she didn't have a good time when she was a child in the family, she was an omega and the family just wanted to squeeze her and raise another alpha child."

"She never went to school as a child, she ate potatoes most often, even rice was a luxury, she had to contract for all the chores, and when she grew a little older she was driven to work in the mines, where her family would make her pay every cent of her labor, but would not confiscate the pretty little stones she picked up from the mines."

"One of the little stones I keep in my lucky charms is one she picked up, silver and glowing with color in the sun."

"She's actually a very artistic person, and if she had gotten a good education as a child, maybe she could have turned into a musician."

Xie Ruhang laughed a little, "But she probably didn't even know what a musician was at that time, she didn't listen to musicals, she didn't take music lessons, she just loved to sing, anytime, anywhere, and my father said the first time he ever saw my mother was when she was holding her basket of groceries, humming on a rainy day, 'Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock ' such a tune that she made up herself ......"

"Then she got sick."

Xie Ruhang suddenly fell silent, and in the silence, he softly said, "She was very sick, and spent almost all of the family's savings, but it still wasn't enough, and my father went to go over the top in order to get the money, and ended up dying in the ring."

"When she learned of her father's death, her condition worsened and she soon died as well."

"But I always thought it shouldn't be."

"If I could, I would want her to be happy singing in another world without discrimination and prejudice, to be able to go to the school she wants to go to, and that her biggest dream is not to work as a servant in a noble house, but to be a musician or some other career related to the music she loves ......"

Tang Bai shows Xie Ruhang the unfinished drawing on the board, "Is that so?"

The woman in the painting sits on a cloud singing, she has very long silky black hair, her hands cover a silver stone with a colorful shine, and she folds her hands over her chest.

The sky was blue, the hues of daylight through the clouds bright and gentle, and she was supposed to be singing a very melodious song, so melodious that you could hear the birds all around her.

Xie Ruhang stared at the painting in awe, he looked at it for a long time before he said, "This is better than all I could have imagined."
