Schrödinger of the Cat [Interstellar]

Chapter 17 Gossip

In the evening of that day, Qi Jun boasted about his achievements in the dormitory.

Xue Yi lay on Ares's chair, looked at the extremely unreliable captain of the patrol ship in front of him, and thought, "Wait for Ares to come out of the shower later, and see if you can still smile like this."

"It's a pity that the unbeaten record he has kept since middle school has been terminated here!" Qi Jun brushed his hair, quite complacently, "I can be proud of this record for a whole year..."

The officer with short blue-gray hair smiled and said, "It's obviously the major general's own mistake, and you insist on taking credit for it." His name is Gust Archianji, and he is one of the deputy captains of the patrol ship.

Qi Jun stared, and said seriously: "If I can win once, I can win twice or three times! No matter how powerful he is, after all, he hasn't touched a fighter for more than two years. I don't believe it..."

Another vice-captain, Toby Havana, booed at this moment: "You just won once with the simulator, how can you still win if you fight against you with a fighter plane? I thought the gravity of the major general was just playing around with it." What!"

"It's as if I don't resonate with you!" Qi Jun raised his eyes, and a cloud of water droplets suddenly splashed from the quilt on the table behind him, and then these water droplets flew towards Toby as if they had come to life.

Toby raised his hand, and the armor metal on his wrist quickly unfolded into a shield, blocking all the drops of water.

Qi Jun raised his eyebrows, and then said with a smile: "With my ability, it's not too difficult to make the guy inside make a fool of himself—" The guy inside refers to A Rui who is taking a shower in the bathroom s.

Gust burst out laughing: "You have the ability to wait for the major general to come out and say it again."

Toby also booed: "What's the point of talking about it? You really dare to do it!"

Qi Jun raised his eyebrows, but there was no movement.

Suddenly, there was a sound of fine water droplets splashing on the outer wall of the compound bathroom in the corner of the dormitory. It seemed that all the water droplets inside were scattered and hit the wall.Then there were several sounds of water, and finally calmed down.

Both Gust and Toby stared at Qi Jun dumbfounded, and were almost amazed: This guy, how dare you!

The bathroom door was opened, and Ares came out naked, raised a finger and pointed in Qi Jun's direction, smiled and nodded three times but didn't speak, and went to get a towel to wipe himself.

The two deputy captains looked at Qi Jun cautiously, but seeing that he didn't care at all, they didn't know whether they should be relieved or more worried.

Xue Yi looked up at Ares, watching him use a towel to wipe off the water droplets on his body casually, still standing there unkempt and twisting his hair, not caring at all that there were three big living people in the room.

This scene has been seen countless times after Xue Yi caught up with the patrol ship. The compound bathroom in the officer's dormitory is very small, just like the smallest glass shower room, so naturally it is impossible to bring a change of clothes into the shower.These officers have long been used to being naked in front of their colleagues. The only one who is not used to it is Xue Yi, but in the eyes of outsiders, he is just a kitten, so there is no need to shy away from it.

But after seeing them a lot, Xue Yi gradually stopped being embarrassed, and instead began to appreciate the vigorous figures of these officers.And Ares' figure is undoubtedly the best among these people.

Perhaps because of the interruption of two years of high-intensity training, the muscles on Ares' body are not particularly knotty, but smooth and look extremely elastic.Probably because he hasn't experienced many battles since he came out of the treatment cabin, his skin is still fair and smooth, with some water droplets that haven't completely evaporated, turning slightly in the light, it's actually a little shiny.

Xue Yi watched Ares put on shorts, and the fabric went up along his slender and powerful legs. The gastrocnemius muscles on a pair of calves seemed to be two strong and powerful hearts, and they suddenly tightened and stretched as he lifted his legs.The shorts covered his narrow hips and were bunched between the crotch, with the deep indentation at the spine protruding into the waistband, forming a triangular gap.

Ares raised his hand to gather the long hair from the back to the front of the body, exposing the muscles of the back in a perfect inverted triangle. In the next moment, these lines that perfectly combined strength and elasticity were all covered by the shirt he put on.

This figure is indeed speechless, Xue Yi pouted in his heart, envious to death.

He thought that his figure was not too bad. Although he was not as fit as Ares's, he practiced dancing anyway, and he should have a lot of abdominal muscles and back muscles... It's a pity that later... Sigh, Don't want to.

"You, aren't you good at playing with water?" Ares put on his clothes, turned around, pointed at Qi Jun again, and said, "Dry it for me." He said and threw his hair in front of Qi Jun, which was still wet dripping water.

Qi Jun pouted, not daring to resist, but leaned back in the chair.I saw Ares's hair dry at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a stream of very thin water detached from the tip of his hair, floated in the air, and flowed obediently back into the bathroom.

Gust couldn't help laughing out loud: "Qi Jun, you can do it, you were talking boldly just now, but now you have been forced to have no complaints."

Ares raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What did he say so boldly?"

Gust and Toby looked at each other while smiling without saying a word.

"It's nothing more than winning me once, and I feel that I can keep winning." Ares said indifferently, "I don't know where the confidence comes from."

Qi Jun raised his chin unconvinced.

Ares took the cub curled up on the chair in his hand, leaned back on the chair and sat down, and said with a smile: "Since elementary school, oh, we have different schools in middle school, but then we met on the front line—— Except today, when have you defeated me?"

The familiar atmosphere in the army made Ares very relaxed. His face was no longer just a calm and cold look, but a little casual, provoking Qi Jun while stroking the cub's jaw with his fingers.

"If you win once, you have won!" Qi Jun snorted softly.

"Lieutenant Colonel Qi!" Ares said solemnly.

Qi Jun was taken aback for a moment, but he had already sat upright like a conditioned reflex: "Yes."

"Tomorrow afternoon, the training machine will conduct an actual combat exercise, one-on-one confrontation." Ares raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile, "Your opponent is me."

Gust and Toby immediately gloated and laughed together.

Qi Jun yelled with a bitter face: "Boss, can't I admit that I'm cowardly!"

When the "boss" was called out, Ares fell silent for a moment, and then shook his head and smiled lowly after a while, but did not speak.

Thinking about it, it was a few years ago when I just formed my own patrol team. At that time, there were 15 people in the team, all of whom were top picks from various military camps.At that time, everyone was young and energetic, and no matter their rank or status, they had to compete to determine the captain.That is when Ares won the title of "Boss".

This patrol team of [-] elite officers was originally a prototype, an experiment, and it was a sharp-edged soldier preparing for the future counterattack against ghosts and regaining their homeland.However, they were trapped in the struggle between the main combat faction and the conservative faction. After the formation was completed, they only got the task of patrolling the front line, and disappeared among the countless patrol teams on the front line.

Even more unfortunate, they encountered the ghost royal family. 13 people died, Ares was in a coma, and Qi Jun, who escaped due to injuries, was transferred to other patrol ships.

Seeing Ares' expression, Qi Jun reached out and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "You will always be my boss."

Ares squinted and said with a smile: "You think I'm not a major general now that I'm not wearing a military uniform or a military rank? It doesn't matter whether it's big or small."

Qi Jun didn't hesitate at all: "How can it be? You haven't officially canceled your vacation yet. The word 'front' of the former commander of the Fifth Army hasn't been removed yet. What am I afraid of, ah? Besides, what is the relationship between us? We were together when we were young. Climbing trees to dig out bird's nests, climbing over walls to skip class, and peeking at other girls' bathing friendship through windows together..."

Hearing this, not only Gust and Toby, but even Xue Yi couldn't help but widen his eyes.Did the major general do these stupid things when he was a child?No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it!

Xue Yi turned his head, raised his neck and looked at the upright Ares, thinking: I really can't tell.

Ares was stroking the cub in his arms, Xue Yi's movements were naturally noticed by him, and he smiled angrily: "Qi Jun, control your mouth, what are you talking about in front of the child?"

"He can't understand..." Qi Jun was about to refute, but seeing the cub's eyes, he said in shock, "He, he, he can understand?!"

Xue Yi looked at Qi Jun, blinked, pretending to be innocent.

"You lie to me." Qi Jun looked at Ares suspiciously, "What can a three-year-old cub understand? Even if it's your kind, it doesn't make sense to be so scary."

Xue Yi rolled his eyes in his heart: It's as if an adult cat can figure out what it is for you humans to peek at girls taking a bath.However, my adoptive father was really unexpected. I didn't expect this major general, who is extremely outstanding and a model in the encyclopedia, to be so playful and mischievous when he was a child.

Before a few people could joke around for a while, the light-off whistle sounded, and the dormitory was quickly plunged into darkness.Several officers pulled up the flaps next to their beds one after another and went to bed.

Ares carried the cub to bed and placed it next to his pillow.

Xue Yi curled up in the gap between the pillow and the wall, but he didn't feel sleepy. After hesitating for a while, he finally couldn't hold back, and reached out to Ares with his mental strength: "Did you really peek at girls taking a bath when you were young? "

Ares sighed helplessly in the dark, and said, "Are you still asleep?"

"I'm not sleepy, I'm curious." Xue Yi persisted, "Were you really so naughty when you were young? You can't tell it at all."

Ares didn't answer, but turned sideways, looking at the cub next to his pillow in the dark.A little blue light seeped through the gap at the top of the baffle, and the cub's eyes reflected the light, reflecting two bright green grains.

"Okay, I won't ask." Xue Yi compromised, and said again, "I always thought that the military camp was a very serious place, but I didn't expect you to joke around in private."

This time Ares replied with a smile: "The front line is already suffering enough. If you don't have fun in the bitterness, it will be difficult to persevere."

Xue Yi nodded, thinking about the various trainings on the ship from morning to night, during which the soldiers would not have a day off, and even had to line up in order to eat and take a bath.The officers still have some freedom, and the days of those soldiers can definitely be regarded as dire straits.And this is not the real front line yet, it's just a troop transport patrol ship.

Thinking of this, Xue Yi asked softly: "Have you been on the front line since you graduated from school?"

"Basically, frontline officers seldom retreat. The journey is too far and takes too long." Ares finished answering, reached out and flicked the cub, and smiled, "Why do you have so many questions today?"

"Nothing, I just want to know what the front line looks like." Xue Yi asked hesitantly.

Ares was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and said in a low voice: "It's like that, training, exercises, and patrols every day. When I received the news of the ghost invasion, I was arranged to go to war. It's nothing special..."

Xue Yi's eyes widened: "Is there anything special about fighting?"

"Get used to it, it's nothing special." Ares said, "When I was a soldier, there were always three or four alarms a day, most of which were small-scale small-scale attacks, which would be wiped out soon. Although we There will also be sacrifices and wounded, but generally speaking, it is not difficult to defend. In recent years, even such small-group invasions have been less." Having said this, he laughed, and continued, "If it were not for historical records, I will always wonder how the empire was forced to retreat."

"What does a ghost look like?" Xue Yi continued to ask.

Ares said helplessly, "Are you still sleepy?"

"not sleepy."

"Okay, little guy." Ares chuckled, "You must not talk too much with others in the future, it will scare people."

Xue Yi was taken aback, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have accidentally exposed too many things, so he immediately withdrew his mental power, wondering if the Major General would take him to dissect him for experiments, right?Would he suspect that I was parasitized by a ghost?His emotions didn't seem intense, but calm, as if he didn't see anything?

Seeing that the cub didn't answer for a while, Ares reached out and took the cub into his arms. After thinking for a while, he began to talk about his first confrontation with the ghost in a deep voice.His voice was already full of masculine magnetism, and he whispered softly, slowly, and the more he spoke, the weaker his voice became.

Gradually, Xue Yi didn't have the heart to listen to Ares's story, but just immersed in the deep voice, and slowly fell asleep.
