Chapter 36 1/2

The spaceship launched from the ground, and the buildings on the ground quickly receded, shrinking to the size of ants, and then they disappeared.

Cen Lang remained silent, somewhat amused. He and Jiang Li were separated by the Tianchen experiment and the information storm; Lu Jing and Jiang Wanlan were separated by twenty years of separation and their missing children.

What kind of miserable meeting is this? If it weren’t for the prohibition on drunk driving, he would have shared a bottle of liquor with Lu Jing.

Things were fine when he came back.

Cen Lang first went to the space force base to activate the soldiers’ balance of information element levels. Then, together with Lu Jing, he went to the Deer Star, taking turns driving warships to patrol near the research base. If they encountered Amis Federation warships, they would fiercely drive them away.

Half a month later, Cen Lang used a transport ship to deliver supplies to the research base. The transport ship stopped at the entrance, and people came out to check on and receive the goods.

The assistant to the old devil, holding a list, scanned and checked box by box, casually chatting while shouldering the mission, “Mr. Cen, how’s the weather this spring? Is it often rainy?”

Cen Lang: “The central area had half a month of rain, and it just cleared up.”

The assistant sighed, “My stepfather broke his leg while buying vegetables the year before last. I took care of him in the hospital for half a month. The doctor said it hurts on rainy days. I hope he doesn’t insist this year. If it hurts, he should go to the rehabilitation department. Fortunately, I can return with President Zhou in June.”

Cen Lang: “Your stepfather is quite miserable.”

Assistant: “…” No other conclusion? Like father, like son?

The assistant continued awkwardly, “My mom asked me to be good to my dad. When she was pregnant with me, the scumbag gambled and ran away, luckily meeting my stepfather.”

Cen Lang: ‘The last one who was sentimental in front of him was an old man whose company went bankrupt.

“Speak directly.”

The assistant was startled. “No, no purpose, just no one to chat with, feeling bored.” It’s hard to earn money.

Cen Lang didn’t pay much attention, thinking of his uncoordinated bodyguard.

He was also waiting for June, when the old devil’s research would end and Jiang Li would graduate from the laboratory. He used this carrot to hang himself, vigorously exercising self-control. If his self-control was a little weak, he would have to find ways to harass Jiang Li every day.

“Delayed gratification” is a good medicine for improving self-control. Cen Lang decided to reward himself with a text message to Jiang Li in a month. When a month passed, he would restrain himself for another month and then upgrade the reward to a voice call with Jiang Li. In two months, repeat the same process. If he could endure for three months, he would be able to see Jiang Li in person.

After rounds of this, his self-control would undergo a qualitative transformation.

In early April, as the weather gradually warmed, calculating the pregnancy date from the underground city encounter on December 3, it had now been four months.

The spring breeze faded away, and the summer days were long. Long sleeves could still be seen on the campus in the morning and evening, almost all short-sleeved by noon.

Summer clothes are thin, and Jiang’s abdomen has a slight curve. It can be overlooked if not paid attention, but those familiar with him would definitely suspect something. Jiang Li specifically bought a white coat to wear outside the last time he went to the dorm to get things. He packed the nutritional supplements into his suitcase, took the pregnancy certificate, and planned to apply for the credit system defense.

Wang Tianhu happened to return to the dormitory to get summer clothes and saw Jiang Li, surprised. “Jiang Li, you’ve gained weight.”

Jiang Li:

Wang Tianhu regretted, “How delicious is the free cafeteria? It has made our academic tyrant’s belly fat! I must go there today!” He had been busy with his internship at the hospital. Since the opening of the military academy’s free cafeteria, it has received rave reviews, but he has never been there.

Wang Tianhu naturally assumed that Jiang Li used to not have money to eat and could only drink nutritional fluids, so he was thin. Now that he is fat, it must be the cafeteria’s fault. Before the upgrade of the cafeteria, many people went to eat just to have a chance encounter with the cold beauty, Jiang Li. After the upgrade, they gradually couldn’t keep up with being a face dog.

“You eat often; which window is good? I’m going to eat three meals today.”

Jiang Li: “Zhajiang noodles, pickled fish, claypot rice, beef noodles… there’s nothing not delicious.”

Wang Tianhu: “I’m going! I’ll be late if I don’t go to line up!”

The cafeteria now has a high flow of people. Jiang Li consciously avoids crowded places, and for students, it’s hard to imagine that there would be a pregnant husband in the queue. He won’t pay too much attention.

Jiang Li doesn’t want to trouble others, so he simply soaks oats in the old devil’s lounge.

Two days later, Jiang Li saw Wang Wang at the entrance of the laboratory. “Dr. Xiao Jiang, what do you want to eat? Send me a message in advance, and I’ll help you line up.”

Jiang Li frowned. “Did Team Leader Cen ask you to watch over me?”

Wang Wang hurriedly explained, “No!”

The free cafeteria requires swiping student cards, and Jiang Li’s card records are sent to Mr. Cen’s phone monthly. Jiang Li’s patronage brings bonuses, and there won’t be future visits if he doesn’t improve.

Last month, Jiang Li swiped his card less than ten times. Cen Lang pondered for a few seconds and found the crux: cleanliness dislikes crowded places, and Jiang Li doesn’t have time to queue.

When upgrading the cafeteria, he didn’t consider it carefully. If he wants to do it inconspicuously, he can’t give special privileges to Jiang Li. Let Wang Wang deliver the food.

Wang Wang justified himself, “I’m just free! Team Leader Cen went on a mission, and I have to find something to do to have performance; otherwise, it’s a basic salary of three thousand.”

Jiang Li:

“Wang  Wang swiping Cen Lang’s bonus from him? It sounds outrageous, but it makes sense.

“Working is not easy, but you don’t have the authority of the Tianchen Lab. In principle, the things you bring can’t be taken in.” Wang Wang said. “How about you come out to eat? I’ll deliver it to the dormitory.”

Jiang Li felt a bit guilty. “Sorry, I’ve been busy lately, and I’m not going back to the dormitory.”

Wang Wang had to reflect his difficulties upward.

Cen Lang thought of the process of sending tomatoes and felt a headache. He can’t resist it.

Wait a minute… He suddenly realized that this was a checkpoint. The desire to feed Jiang Li and the impulse to release pheromones toward him were strangely similar.

If he could endure the former, he could endure the latter.

With only two months left, Jiang Li drank nutritional supplements for two months, and it should be fine. He was so addicted to research that he probably wouldn’t bother to eat. Letting Wang Wang deliver food might backfire.

Moreover, when he returned from the space force, he stuffed a lot of snacks into Jiang Li’s suitcase.

After standing on the death sea rocks of the Deer Star for three hours, Cen Lang, with difficulty, made a decision. That night, he dreamed that Jiang Fu had starved him thin. Three days later,.

Cen Lang had to humbly consult Lu Jing again: “Your wife is on Earth, lonely and sick. How do you control yourself sitting in prison on the Deer Star, ignoring everything?”

Just starving Jiang Chuan, he was almost unable to bear it.

Lu Jing:

The description of his past twenty years of life by Cen Lang seemed a bit off. “The medicine for your lover can cure him.”

Jiang Wanlan, a gentle and kind Omega, was forced to take such a poisonous oath that her beliefs collapsed and were then rebuilt. From the moment she decided to bear children for Lu Jing, she didn’t dare to think about turning back.

Jiang Wanlan…
