Interstellar Fairy Tale

November 3, 1128, Galactic Calendar

Khanom Fortress

The red-haired military doctor Rowling walked into the medical room. The black-faced Colonel Edgar got up from the chair impatiently. On one side of the table, there was a transfer report that was not classified as confidential. S's name is on the list. Rowling raised her well-shaped eyebrows. Sure enough, the rumors in the fortress were not groundless. This heroic and adept commander of the fleet, who can be regarded as a model in the army, seems to have a serious lover complex. The poor "lover" of the dark-haired boy, the handsome blond boy, obviously suffered a lot from the Colonel. And 100% of the suffering will continue.

Strangely, Rowling has no sympathy for Austin South, not at all.

Rowling motioned Colonel Edgar to lie down in the medical examination cabin, and pressed the button on the console. Speaking of which, Austin Soth, the youngest son of the Marshal Space Fleet Commander-in-Chief, and the proud son of Mars' upper class, was unexpectedly taken by him. The Colonel used various excuses to send the almost abandoned Royce artificial celestial body to be stationed there, euphemistically called it: actual combat exercise! God knows what the Lord Colonel was thinking.

The data on the virtual light screen kept scrolling, showing that the Colonel had fully recovered from the previous trauma, but he could not let the red-haired beauty military doctor show a smile. From the first time he saw Colonel Edgar After the adopted son, the black-haired boy, Rowling couldn't have a good impression of that boy. The reason, it would only make people laugh.

In Rowling's eyes, Shang Ping is not considered a mere adopted son, but more like a potential rival in love.

This made the red-haired Rowling, who came from a family of military doctors, very uncomfortable, and she was ashamed for having such an inexplicable idea.

Pressing the green button on the left side of the console, the transparent cover of the medical examination cabin slowly opened, Edgar sat up, moved his neck, and took out his military jacket. Completely harmless to the body.

The red-haired military doctor Rowling was obviously troubled by something, but Colonel Edgar naturally ignored the expectation in the beauty's eyes, buttoned the last button of his military jacket, picked up the medical report and glanced at it. The data are quite satisfactory.

The order of the capital Hercules has been issued for half a month. Even if he is extremely reluctant, Colonel Edgar still cannot disobey the order. Shang Ping and Rochette must return to the capital this time to accept representatives from government departments and military circles. review.

Yes, review.

Colonel Edgar didn't like this word very much, but Shang Ping found it strange. The father and son had a long talk on the night that Edgar drove Austin Soth out of Shang Ping's bedroom. Although Colonel Edgar was dissatisfied, at Shang Ping's insistence, he could only temporarily approve it. Austin South, as an adopted son suitor.

"Of course, only suitors. Lovers? Impossible!"

Colonel Edgar put an end to this topic decisively, Shang Ping scratched his head, and seemed to have no intention of arguing, which made the handsome adoptive father even more suspicious of Austin South's status in Shang Ping's heart.

If Shang Ping can have a dispute with Austin South, maybe Colonel Edgar will have a headache, but he will also accept the fact that his adopted son has a lover, but now?

Colonel Edgar sneered, blond boy, you still have a long way to go!

After finishing the topic about the suitor of blonde hair, Colonel Edgar had a straight face, and told Shang Ping the order from Hercules word for word. After a short silence, Shang Ping accepted the order very calmly. Order.

"Baby, you really surprised me."

"Really? Am I supposed to show a rage? Or cry out why it's so unfair to me?"

Shang Ping curled his lips and looked completely indifferent. Colonel Edgar couldn't help but start imagining the tragic scene of his baby hugging his head against the wall and yelling unfairly, with tears streaming down his face. He shivered involuntarily.

"Uncle Edgar..."

"what?"

"I hope you can keep silent on this matter. At least, don't make any outrageous actions until I return to the Kanon military fortress after my review."

Colonel Edgar put away his relaxed expression and looked at Shang Ping blankly. This was the first time he looked at the child he raised with this expression.

"Tell me why, you're making me turn a blind eye to my child's injustice? Even if you're the one involved?"

"Uncle Edgar, we are soldiers, we have a natural mission, but in the face of certain positions, we must learn to compromise."

"Is this what you really think?"

"Yes." Shang Ping nodded, his black eyes slowly closed, and then opened again, already wearing a little helplessness, "Because you are too good a soldier, you are already powerful enough to make people look up, so, In the face of certain things, you have to back down. If you are too tough, then a big hat of deterring the government and ulterior motives will be put on your head, which I don't want to see. You have your position, You have your bottom line, but sometimes, the bottom line is not necessarily inviolable at all, and prudence and concession are not an absolute bad thing. In the distant galactic era, there was a saying, "If you lose your horse, you will know it's not a blessing." Of course, this matter is not a good thing in any way, but it is not an absolute bad thing, at least, it is only a review, not a trial, is it?"

"Boy, where did you learn this stuff? Damn Madoff Military Academy, stupid Gus, how can you instill such a politician's trick into a cadet!"

"No, Uncle Edgar, you know, that's not the case." Shang Ping no longer used the serious honorific "you", but replaced it with a relaxed tone, but he still couldn't make Colonel Edgar frown. Stretching, in desperation, he could only walk to Colonel Edgar, jumped onto Colonel Edgar's thigh neatly, sat astride, and wrapped his arms around Colonel Edgar's neck, just like he did when he was a child. Like countless times, when two big hands habitually wrapped around his waist, his forehead lightly pressed against the Colonel's full forehead, breathing was clearly audible.

"Uncle Edgar, you know me, I am no longer the child who can only ride on your shoulders and look up at the stars, you don't have to think about everything for me, stand in front of me all the time, I have enough ability to protect yourself..."

"Protect? Protected to the point of being captured by those guys?"

"…"

"Stinky boy! Why haven't you changed your biting habit?!"

Col. Edgar patted Shang Ping's head indistinctly, and rubbed his bitten ear. Well, for that matter, he still couldn't easily let go of what Shang Ping said before. It was as if at this moment, the young man's flexible body was leaning obediently in his arms, but Edgar had already clearly realized that the boy in his arms was no longer a chick waiting to be fed, but a gradually plump wing. A young eagle fluttering its wings.

Well, he sighed helplessly, as Shang Ping said, he can't always keep the baby in his arms shelter from the wind and rain, but, at least, let him do something for this smart and well-behaved child...

Burying his lips into the top of Shang Ping's black and smooth hair, Colonel Edgar slowly closed his eyes.

Outside the door, Austin Soth leaned back against the wall and raised his head slightly. Patrolmen passing by walked past him without squinting. The blond boy seemed to have become a gorgeous statue. Passionate flame.
