MTL - Interstellar Fairy Tale-Chapter 35

"I can help, but, in exchange, you have to pay me as well."

Austin unabashedly put his purpose in front of the business plane. It is true that Shang Ping would not think that he could unconditionally ask Austin to give John the green light for himself. However, he put the concept of equivalent exchange in such a straightforward way In front of him, he really didn't expect it.

"So, what do you hope for?"

Shang Ping suddenly realized that he shouldn't have told Austin what he was also interested in Liu Xi so easily. From the time Austin lowered his eyes and half-covered those emerald green eyes, it seemed that the development of things had begun to move in a direction that Shang Ping did not expect.

Why does he feel that he is gradually being led by the nose of this blond boy?

Did he just come for his friend John's expectation? When did it become necessary for him to pay the price in exchange? Should this be the case?

In addition to teaching students military skills and strategies and tactics, Madoff Military Academy also has requirements for students' philosophy of doing things. No matter what the situation is, even if you are facing an enemy who will defeat you, you need to think and try to take the initiative to negotiate. It's not just lip service. Shang Ping has always had good grades in this class, but unfortunately, he is not so confident now.

Shang Ping is not facing the situation that he is about to be "general" at this moment. At least, if he ignores John's wishes at all, he can reject Austin's conditions. However, Shang Ping did not do this. Austin's attitude aroused some bad factors in Shang Ping's personality, and he even expected Austin to express his wishes.

What would this fifteen-year-old man propose?

Shang Ping thought of some evil possibility, frowned, and then relieved.

"Are you sure you want to listen?"

"certainly."

Austin stood up, walked to Shang Ping, bent down, put his hands on both sides of the high-back chair, lowered his head, his green eyes clearly reflected Shang Ping's face, with a slight smile, but he didn't have what he expected. Panic and awkward, this made Austin a little dissatisfied, no, or should I say, very dissatisfied. It directly caused the big boy to convert the possibility of a date or dinner into another more intimate contact.

"a kiss."

Austin's voice, with the hoarseness of a young man, slowly invaded Shang Ping's hearing. Even though he was prepared, Shang Ping couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Obviously, this request surprised Shang Ping.

"Just a kiss?"

"Do you expect anything else? Even if you ask, we must abide by the laws of Mars and the rules of the college. Before being a minor, we can't do anything that violates the law and school rules, so unfortunately, it can only be a kiss. That's it."

Shang Ping was completely speechless. He didn't even know what kind of expression he should make now. laugh at? surprise? Or outraged?

No matter what kind it is, it means that he is completely led by the big boy's words and has no power to fight back. This is definitely a very frustrating thing.

Forget it, just a kiss, just a kiss, right?

Shang Jing lowered his head quietly, pondered for a while, and raised his head again, his expression had returned to his natural state, he agreed to Austin's request without hesitation, took the initiative to put his arms around Austin's neck, and blinked, "Then, do you hope now Does it come true?"

"Do not."

Upholding the decent manners cultivated by a good upbringing and aristocratic education, Austin will not accept his "remuneration" until he has fulfilled the requirements put forward by Shang Ping.

"Should I be glad? Mr. 'Gentleman'?"

"If you wish."

Austin stood up straight and loosened his two-button black school uniform jacket, which still had no wrinkle. For a moment, he thought that maybe he could take this opportunity to ask Shang Ping to agree to be his lover, but he would soon The idea was rejected.

This is completely impossible. According to Shang Ping's previous attitude towards him, if he made this request, Shang Ping would probably turn around and leave immediately, leaving no room for him.

Thinking of this, Austin wanted to smile bitterly, even if such a mature expression of suffering from love should not appear on the face of a fifteen-year-old boy.

"Shang Ping, I'm serious about you."

"I know."

"So, can you try to accept me?"

"…"

"alright, I got it."

Austin isn't going to dwell on this issue, and that doesn't do it any good. However, still a little dissatisfied.

"No matter what you think, Shang Ping, I just want to tell you whether or not to accept my pursuit is entirely up to you, but I won't give up."

Shang Ping walked into Austin's room with a smile, but at this moment he had to open the door with a feeling of running away. He had to admit that, for a moment, he did fall for Austin. It wasn't love or anything else, he was only moved by the boy's undisguised emotion and persistence, which was exactly what he lacked in his two lives. Maybe it's something he can't get in his life.

When Shang Ping returned to the dormitory, John was sitting on the edge of the bed, his eyes were almost glued to the screen of Zhinao, and the sound of opening the door did not bring the big man back to his senses. Looking at the unclear picture of Liu Xi on the screen, Shang Ping immediately decided not to tell John about his agreement with Austin for the time being. Since this brown-haired friend doesn't "look down on him" so much, let him tell him. "Keep this in mind" for now.

That night, Shang Ping unexpectedly slept well, while John stayed up all night. He woke up with two dark circles under his eyes for several days in a row, and his mental state was like sleepwalking. On the list, a big fork was drawn.

When John learned of his miserable results again, Shang Ping was sitting in the single-player fighter training bay, neatly destroying the enemy aircraft in the battle, watching the virtual cursor on the display quickly disappear, showing a long-lost happy smile.

Austin kept his word, calling Ms. Diana three days later, asking her mother to mediate. Although Shang Ping's request was only to make some adjustments to the monthly leave, so that John could smoothly not be locked up in Madoff College while Liu Xi stayed on Mars Planet. This requirement is not difficult to achieve, but Austin is very concerned about what Shang Ping said, and he is also very interested in what Liu Xi said.

"Mother, this is just my one-sided request. I hope it won't embarrass you."

Diana's digital virtual image disappeared from the screen, Austin put down the phone, he knew his mother's abilities, Diana was David South's only female adjutant in the military before becoming a full-time housewife. It was not until Diana resigned from the military for her family that David's current adjutant, Joe, opened the door to a life of overtime.

Perhaps the mother has paid too much for the family. As a husband who loves his wife deeply and has a little guilt, David South always does everything possible to satisfy all Diana's wishes. Austin takes advantage of this. Since his mother very much expects him to be able to bring his sweetheart home, it is also permissible to occasionally ask her for help, right?

At this time, Commander David South was racking his brains to deal with Liu Xi, the president of the Republic of Seth, who was not out of line, but was very troublesome.

This young president, as if he had no sense of being in Mars instead of Seth, disregarded David South's previous advice, and waited for the Mars media with the fullest spirit every day, while the Mars government And he couldn't blatantly stop him from doing so. That would only invite more suspicion. Within a week, almost all of the traditional media and electronic light guide publications became the stage for the handsome president. Liu Xi's performance on Mars Planet also appeared in front of the people of the Republic of Seth and the people of the γ Planet City Free Federation.

He is always personable, his attitude is not so serious, but his words are quite sharp. Thanks to his tireless efforts, neither Archon Martin nor Commander David South can no longer turn a blind eye to the diplomatic letters sent by the Republic of Seth. This made Marshal Helu, who was waiting in the Republic of Seth, have to start to admire Liu Xi's personal ability. In front of his staff, he said, "If you can be like this young president, perhaps impulsiveness is not a bad thing." Such ridiculous words.
