“In the year 1920 of the Star Era, which should be a hundred years ago, at that time, five young individuals embarked on the journey to participate in the Second Space Warfare, carrying with them the dream of defending their homeland, this mecha is the support of the five of them, as they joined the Space Defense Corps. However, I believe that everyone have already heard about the reputation of the first four alliance leaders, and have come across numerous great stories about their heroic deeds during the war, I won’t say any more here, but let’s focus on introducing the fifth person to everyone, you might be wondering why Lin You’s name is not written there, and why it is difficult to find even a single word about him on the Internet.”
Some student asked: “Why not put his name on it?”
Lin Zimao continued: “History records the space defense war of that year, which is the Second Space Warfare, everyone should remember the end time of the Second Space Warfare, perhaps you might think that I am fabricating the existence of the fifth person, but in fact, the A0010 in front of us has already recorded his existence, in order to commemorate the day when they went to war, the five people who were still young individuals back then, engraved their names, that is, their signatures, on the inside of the mecha, they used a special technique to carve them, making it indelible, I believe even the manager in the exhibition hall may not know about this ancient secret hidden inside this mecha. If there is a chance, everyone can ask them to open the inside of the mecha and find the signatures of the five people.”
Lin Zimao used facts to explain the existence of Lin You, and affirmed his existence, so the students would not doubt the authenticity of his words.
Some impatient students asked: “Then why is there no news related to Lin You at all after the war?”
Some people also searched for the name Lin You on the Internet on the spot, it was exactly as the guide said, nothing could be found, just ordinary people who had nothing to do with space warfare.
Lin Zimao said: “Don’t worry, I was just about to tell you, why was it? You see, four out of the five people have become the top1數一數二 (shǔ yī shǔ èr): reckoned to be first or second best (idiom); among the top; to be one of the best; to enumerate; to list one by one. leaders in the alliance today, but why is Lin You reduced to an unknown person, not even the mechas he has ridden in, or even the mechas he designed maybe didn’t have his name written on them? Because an incident happened after the war, and it was not made public, perhaps these great individuals thought that this incident can offset Lin You’s contribution in the space warfare.”
The students asked again: “Then what did he do?”
Lin Zimao said: “The Second Space Warfare ended in the year 1930 of the Star Era, and in the year 1931 of the Star Era, the Alliance was established. However, when the Alliance was first established, everyone was not able to live a stable life2安安穩穩 (ān ān wěn wěn): be firm and secure; describe something that is very stable and steady. as we do now, at that time, the Alliance was still in turmoil, some space pirates took advantage of the Alliance’s weakness to commit robberies, they go around plundering remote small planets, robbing the resources of the local inhabitants, and after each raid, they would escape.”
“At that time, the Alliance not only go through the Second Space Warfare, but it had also just experienced a civil war within the Alliance, regarding the civil war, you can read the details in the historical records, let’s focus on the story of the space pirates. The actions of the space pirates were audacious and greatly disrupted the peace of the Alliance, in response, the Alliance dispatched a military force to capture the interstellar pirates, however, due to the recent civil war, there were very few mechas available, and the number of mechas that could be allocated to the military force was limited, the Alliance sent Lin You to eliminate the space pirates, not only was he a capable leader, but he also very knowledgeable about mecha, it can be said that he is a genius, so he carried the expectations of many3不負眾望 (bù fù zhòng wàng): to live up to expectations (idiom); to not let everyone down; to not let anybody down. as he embarked on the mission with a starship and two hundred mechas to eliminate the space pirates. What he doesn’t know is that this might be a conspiracy, because once he left planet Feige, he never had the chance to return…”
The students continued to marvel: “Why can’t he return?”
At that moment, however, Lin Zimao saw a young man in a uniform running towards them in a hurry, and he said: “Because he stand out from the masses, because he has higher prestige among the people than the other four, I can only tell you this much today, if I have a chance in the future, I will continue to tell you the story of General Lin You, there will be another guide to tell you about other mechas later.”
He threw the mic aside, and then quickly left the exhibition hall through another door.
The group of middle-school students looked at each other in blank dismay4面面相覷 (miàn miàn xiāng qù): to look at each other in blank dismay (idiom); to look at each other (in fear) without knowing what to do; gaze at each other in speechless despair; look at each other in astonishment/embarrassment/surprise; Describes that people look at each other out of fear or helplessness without speaking., wondering what was going on with the staff in the exhibition hall, how could the people disappear in the middle of the story?
What’s the difference between this and reading novel that was discontinued5斷更 (duàngēng): (internet slang) to cease updates temporarily; “断” means to “discontinue,” and “更” is short for “更新,” which means to “refresh one’s social media account status or online novels.” Therefore, this term coined by Chinese netizens means to “stop refreshing one’s social media account status or online novels, often temporarily.” Similarly, another term called “停更” means to “stop refreshing them for good.”?
Keep people in suspense too much!
They had to catch the guide who had just come over and ask him about General Lin You’s matter.
The guide, who had just gone to the restroom due to an upset stomach, was confused, what General Lin You? Who is that?
And then, this fourth-year student veteran guide was ignored by a group of middle school students.
Wow, how do you know everything, you don’t even know General Lin You.
By the way, can we see the signature on the inside of this mecha? I heard that a lot of big shot have their names engraved in it.
The guide is even more confused, what are you talking about? Where did this ancient mecha get its signature, never heard of it!
Was I not supposed to go to the restroom just now, I seems to have missed a billion?
Lin Zimao, who had retire after having made his mark6功成身退 (gōng chéng shēn tuì): retire after winning merit; retire after having made one’s mark; retire after being covered with glories; withdraw from public life after accomplishing a task or achieving success; Refers to retiring on their own and not coming back again after the accomplishment., slipped out of the mecha exhibition hall.
It was still early, he sent a message asking where Jiang Xuan was.
Jiang Xuan replied to him: In the laboratory.
Lin Zimao: Are you alone?
Jiang Xuan: Um.
Lin Zimao: I’m also alone.
Jiang Xuan took the initiative to extend an invitation: Then, do you want to come to the lab?
Lin Zimao had no intention of refusing at all: Okay, I’ll come to find you.
Jiang Xuan: Um.
He sent Lin Zimao a location.
Fifteen minutes later, Lin Zimao met Jiang Xuan in the Design Department’s exclusive laboratory building.
It was Lin Zimao’s first time coming to the Design Department Faculty, the design of the building here was different from the teaching building they usually went to, it has a relatively sense of design, at a glance, it may come from the handiwork of a certain design master.
Jiang Xuan swiped the access control card for him, and Lin Zimao entered the laboratory smoothly.
There’s really no one else in the lab.
There are mecha models on the shelves, on the tables are either mecha arms, mecha legs, or parts of a certain part, there is not a single assembled mecha.
He thought the Design Department’s laboratory would be even more different.
Originally, he was looking forward to meeting Lin Zimao in the evening, but he didn’t expect he’d see him now.
At this hour, basically no one will come to the laboratory, Jiang Xuan is not afraid of others seeing him and Lin Zimao together.
What basic rules, he’s going to tear up those two pieces of paper later.
He saw that Lin Zimao was very curious about the laboratory, but he didn’t make any exaggerated exclamations, kind of like he was just observing.
Jiang Xuan asked him: “Would you like to see my workstation?”
In fact, Lin Zimao can also see his design drafts at home, but he has never seen him use the workstation, he doesn’t go up to the third floor very often.
Lin Zimao nodded: “Okay.”
Jiang Xuan led him over.
Lin Zimao looked at his workstation, it was much messier than expected.
There are two sophisticated assembly robots next to them, but now that they were told to move, they waved dozens of robotic arms of different sizes up and down in a rhythmic manner.
Jiang Xuan hurriedly explained: “It’s not usually this messy, recently, I’ve been assembling a new mecha.”
Lin Zimao could only see one leg, which looked a bit like the one he had drawn at home: “Are you going to enter it in the competition?”
Jiang Xuan nodded: “Um, it’s due in half a month.”
Lin Zimao understood: “Then, are you planning to work overtime in the lab these days?”
Jiang Xuan: “Can go back to eat and then come back to work overtime.”
Lin Zimao: “That’s too much trouble.”
Jiang Xuan: “If not?”
Lin Zimao: “Eat here.”
Jiang Xuan stuffed a small part into the mecha’s leg and tightened it, then looked up at Lin Zimao: “Then you can only eat at home alone.”
Lin Zimao shook his head: “No.”
Jiang Xuan: “Um?”
Lin Zimao suddenly lowered his voice: “I can come here to eat with you.”
Jiang Xuan was in a very cheerful mood, and afraid that he would refuse: “Okay, shall we still go back and eat tonight?”
Lin Zimao looks at his progress, and first asked him: “Do you still need to revise your design draft?”
Jiang Xuan said: “There are still some small problems that have not been resolved, there will be some minor adjustments later.”
Lin Zimao: “Then let’s eat here tonight, it would be a bit of a waste of time to go back and make dinner.”
Jiang Xian found that Lin Zimao was really considerate, never picky about food, nor picky about the environment, he was so well-behaved that it made people feel distressed.
They ordered takeout from the cafeteria, and a delivery robot brought it to them fifteen minutes later.
After eating, Lin Zimao was not in a hurry to leave, but watched Jiang Xuan fiddle with his new mecha.
Lin Zimao only saw the design draft of the lower half of the body, but did not see the upper half.
The only sound in the laboratory is the sizzling sound of assembly robots drilling.
When Lin Zimao almost fell asleep in Jiang Xuan’s seat, there were doubtful voices coming from outside, which immediately scared his drowsiness away.
Someone outside said: “Huh? Is anyone still here this late? Who’s in here?”
Jiang Xuan’s workstation is separated from the outside by a polished glass wall, so the outside can’t see anyone inside.
The people outside approached slowly, Jiang Xuan was about to turn around and tell Lin Zimao that it was his classmate, but Lin Zimao, who was still lying down just now, was gone, he shrank under the workstation.
Jiang Xuan: “…” In fact, you like the basic rules more than I do… right?
In order to block Lin Zimao, Jiang Xuan had no choice but to sit on the chair that Lin Zimao had just sat on, his classmate just happened to come in and saw Jiang Xuan.
The female classmate said in surprise: “Jiang Xuan, you haven’t gone back yet?”
Jiang Xuan nodded coldly: “Um.”
The female classmate have long been accustomed to his style of speaking, each minding their own business and said: “I came back to pick up something, I thought the last person to leave had forgotten to turn off the machine, you should go home early too, it’s getting colder out there.”
Jiang Xuan was not listening to the female classmate, but found his calf was itchy, Lin Zimao was scratching his calf, Jiang Xuan reached out and held down his hand, this hand was held down, the other hand was scratching the other side of his calf, Jiang Xuan could only hold it down again, the four hands were gently held each other.
Jiang Xuan looked down at him, Lin Zimao innocently tilted his head and blinked, the place under the workstation where people can hide is too small, he can only tilt his neck sideways, this posture, this blink, gave Jiang Xuan the urge to kiss his eyes.
The voice of the female classmate continues: “By the way, the professor just posted a paper in the group, saying that it will be helpful for us to research new type of mechas, let us all take a look…”
“If there is nothing else, I’ll leave first…”
“Jiang Xuan, Jiang Xuan?”
Jiang Xuan was called by the female classmate and said: “Okay.”
The female classmate talked until her mouth was dry, Jiang Xuan just replied to her with two words, she was very frustrated and decided to leave.
“Then I’ll go first, remember to turn off the machine when you leave.”
Although she really want to stay, but the Iceberg School Grass is undeniably beautiful, but not everyone can handle it.
After Jiang Xuan’s classmates left, he let go of Lin Zimao’s hand, Lin Zimao poked his head out and lying on Jiang Xuan’s lap, tilting his head up, and asked him: “She’s gone?”
Jiang Xuan looked at him and licked his lips: “Um, gone.”
Lin Zimao suddenly asked him: “Did we just look like young couples having an affair in the office?”
Jiang Xuan’s fingers gently hooked his slightly raised chin, his voice was low and hoarse: “Not a young couple, it’s a married couple.”
As if demons and gods at work7鬼使神差 (guǐ shǐ shén chāi): demons and gods at work (idiom); doings of ghosts and gods—unexpected happenings; unexplained event crying out for a supernatural explanation; curious coincidence; As if there were ghosts and gods supporting him, he unconsciously did what he didn’t expect to do., Lin Zimao asked him: “Then, do you want to try kissing?”
Jiang Xuan didn’t hesitate even for half a second, he lowered his head and kissed Lin Zimao’s half-open lips.
Another moments where JX wished he could tear up those basic agreement~ 🤣🤣
