‘How is it possible…how is it possible?’

Zhou Mian had never thought about this problem in his life – giving birth to a child.

Although this is nothing unusual, Zhou Mian only thought about wars and plant factories in his past days, as well as those messy pirates, black phoenixes, Zerg, and so on. He didn’t even think about falling in love with others. Before, Marriage is only for the two parties to coexist peacefully. After that, Zhou Mian just passively let Cecil pursue…Well, Zhou Mian thought, that should be considered pursuit.

However, now it suddenly escalates directly to having children.

Give birth to a child. To be precise, it is giving a new life from within oneself.

Zhou Mian was completely stunned. He touched his belly and couldn’t believe there was a little life inside.

So Zhou Mian suffered from insomnia that night and stayed awake all night.

Zhou Mian tossed and turned in bed, staying up until early in the morning with complicated thoughts. It wasn’t until the white fish belly appeared in the east and the sun slowly rose that Zhou Mian got up with a “snap” and hurriedly searched the Internet for “pregnancy precautions.” Matters”, “Do I need to abstain from smoking during pregnancy?”…

He also checked “Can I fight while pregnant?” and “Can I fight with others during pregnancy?”, but perhaps not many pregnant women or husbands will have such troubles. Therefore, the search yielded no results.

Zhou Mian scratched his cheek and frowned.

There is no “abortion” in Zhou Mian’s concept. What worries him is how to deal with this child and Cecil. More importantly, it is also the issue at hand – how to protect this child.

Cecil…

Zhou Mian didn’t know why, but Cecil’s facial features kept appearing from time to time that night as if to remind him of something.

Zhou Mian thought, maybe it was because the child’s father was Cecil.

It’s not because he misses Cecil!

Zhou Mian hugged his knees and was slightly lost in thought.

He never misses a person and has no worries. That’s how it should be.

Zhou Mian bit his lower lip.

Cecil could be the biggest surprise in his life.

Knock… knock.

Zhou Mian was worried when he heard a knock on the door.

Zhou Mian shook his head, forced himself to cheer up, stood up, put on a black coat, and covered half of his face with a veil, just like he did on the pirate ship before, looking exactly like Moon Shadow.

“Come in.”

The maid pushed the dining cart in. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Zhou Mian. After serving the breakfast calmly, she bowed and left with an extremely respectful attitude. It’s not just the maids. Who on this pirate ship dares to be disrespectful to Yueying, and who dares to look at the “Queen” more than once?

After the maid left, Zhou Mian pulled down his veil and started eating the apple pie in front of him.

Zhou Mian didn’t want to eat it at first, but considering the child, Zhou Mian planned to change his daily routine and eat three delicious meals a day.

After cutting into the freshly baked, hot, and fragrant apple pie, Zhou Mian frowned slightly.

There is a small note hidden inside.

After seeing the content of the note, Zhou Mian paused and then chuckled.

…

“Is it him?”

Cecil sat in front of the monitoring room with his arms folded, listening to Casper’s report.

“Yes, the spy has confirmed it and has contacted General Zhou.” Casper handed the encrypted intelligence packet to Cecil and said, “This is General Zhou’s reply to the spy. Facts have proved that Zhou The admiral did not rebel.”

“Of course, it is impossible to rebel!” Cecil said sternly: “He can never rebel.”

But Cecil didn’t know what Zhou Mian’s purpose was. Anyway, he was not joining the pirates. He understood his cotton clearly.

“Yes. I’m sorry, it was a slip of the tongue.” Casper bowed at 90 degrees, and then asked: “Then shall we…”

The pirates are about to land on F8 Wild Star to do what they always do – plunder the city, Zhou Mian not only revealed this information, he even told the landing location in a very detailed manner. What Casper asked was whether Cecil should send support to stop the pirates, or if he should turn around and go to F8.

They are currently chasing the small battleship led by Dark Phoenix.

“Since Ah Mian gave us this information, he must hope that we can come to the rescue. The Federation has been working hard on this matter, and it must send troops. But we won’t go.” Cecil naturally wants to go to F8 in person. Yes, he wanted to see Zhou Mian, and even more wanted to take Zhou Mian back.

But they are adults, admirals.

God knows how hard it took Cecil to convince himself to let reason replace impulse.

Zhou Mian thought he had other purposes for leaving without saying goodbye, and Cecil could not destroy his plan without permission. Black Phoenix finally tracked down clues here, which were related to Zhou Mian’s antidote, and he couldn’t give up.

Casper was stunned by Cecil’s decision, then nodded and said, “Okay.”

Casper felt that Cecil had changed.

Originally such a person who had his way… Casper originally thought that Cecil would go to Zhou Mian at all costs and take back what belonged to him.

But Cecil didn’t.

Cecil asked: “Is there anything else?”

Casper came back to his senses and then said: “Yes, Kevin sent back the news that the Supreme Court of the Federal Capital has completed the death penalty for the criminal Mo Qing, and the execution went smoothly… Mo Qing has no relatives, so all his belongings and family property were donated to charities.”

Cecil nodded and sighed heavily.

“How are Mingyan and the others?” “Although the secretaries-general are reluctant to leave, they understand the admiral and the court’s judgment.”

Casper said: “Admiral, there is no need to worry.”

Cecil waved his hand.

Casper left to investigate on the deck. Cecil looked at the monitoring screen in front of him, slightly lost in thought.

Cecil held a ring in his hand and kept stroking it.

…

“Brother… I will give you this ring. If we are separated, don’t forget me.”

“You must find me…!”

The ring has been rubbed by the owner until it faded.

Cecil closed his eyes slightly.

Cecil’s fingertip was cut because of too much force, and a few drops of blood flowed out from the wound, but Cecil didn’t notice it, as if he had lost consciousness.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu”

Cecil was in a trance when a sharp alarm sounded. Cecil reacted quickly, put all his emotions away immediately, took his sword, and stood up to leave.

“The Zerg attacked the ship from the southeast! Repeat, the Zerg attacked the ship from the southeast!”

Cecil raised his eyebrows.

Oh, the old man had a falling out with the pirates over the competition for Zhou Mian, and the pirates even teamed up with the Federation to attack the Phoenix main battleship. Now this old man has turned around and hooked up with the Zerg?

Cecil sneered.

‘So this old man is quite capable? I don’t know how he hooked up.’

Cecil shook his hair, drew his sword, and stepped onto the deck.

“F8… has arrived.”

Chi Ying stood by the mast, looking at the city in the distance, and smiled: “Ahmian, are you looking forward to it?”

Zhou Mian frowned slightly.

Chi Ying lowered his eyes and said, “Ah Mian, you are the same kind of person as us. It’s just that you forgot.”

“I’m not.”

“You are.” Chi Ying didn’t want to argue with Zhou Mian, but just smiled and said, “Wait for you. When you have to fight, you will understand that you and I are the same people.”

“Boom–”

These desert stars have federal troops stationed to defend them, and when they see the pirate flags, they open fire to stop them.

Chiying smiled and raised his hand to wave.

“Kill.”

The pirates put down the ropes and hooks and attacked the city along with the artillery fire.

After the ship landed, all that could be seen was fire, killing, and roaring.

The people living in Desolate Star were all strong recruits or farmers. At this moment, they all came out to carry the enemy together with the soldiers stationed there. The two sides fought, and blood spurted out.

Zhou Mian stood aside, his ears buzzing.

The pirates’ methods have always been cruel and bloody. Unlike the Federal Army and the Glacier Army, soldiers usually kill with one knife and stab the vital part. However, the pirates’ knife skills are haphazard and stabbed continuously, and they specialize in the head and face. They usually die from death. In the hands of pirates, the corpses were very miserable.

Zhou Mian closed his eyes, but those voices were still in his ears.

“Crash—”

A blast of wind came from behind.

Zhou Mian subconsciously turned around to defend himself and used his sword to deflect the weapon of the person behind him.

Zhou Mian was stunned. That man was a Union soldier.

He guessed they attacked him as a pirate.

Zhou Mian understood what Chi Ying said, but he refused to fight and allowed the federal army to keep attacking him. Zhou Mian did not fight back but kept dodging, and finally found a chance to escape.

Zhou Mian stood on the watchtower, thinking that there would be no one here.

“Boom!”

“The federal army is coming…!”

“Boss! Their support is coming!” One of the pirates shouted to Akei: “What should we do!”

Akei raised his eyebrows slightly.

Zhou Mian, who was standing at a high place and witnessed the rows of federal warships approaching, was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

Cecil trusted him and was still willing to send troops to support him despite uncertainty.

Chi Ying said coldly: “Retreat.”

There are so many federal troops that there is no benefit in a head-on confrontation.

Chiying smiled and went to the observation deck.

“A-Mian.”

Zhou Mian was stunned and saw Chi Ying standing aside, looking at him with a smile.

Chi Ying shook his head and said, “You are really capable. I didn’t expect you to be able to send messages right under my nose.”

Zhou Mian lowered his eyes and said, “Thank you for the compliment.”

Chi Ying stepped forward and held Zhou Mian’s hand. Drag him down and take him back to his study.

The pirates retreated, and F8 suffered no major losses. The federal army, on the other hand, went after the pirates with all their strength. Although they were finally thrown away by the pirates who were familiar with shortcuts, they also succeeded in destroying several of the pirates’ ships and captured a large number of people. On the contrary, they originally planned to The pirates who plundered the city suffered heavy losses.

“Not bad for you.”

In the study, Zhou Mian was sitting on the sofa nearby. Chi Ying was beside him. He glanced at Zhou Mian and said with a smile, “A-Mian, I suggest you tell the truth about the federal spy, otherwise you and I will …It’s not over yet.”

Chi Ying pushed the strands of hair that fell onto Zhou Mian’s cheeks behind her ears with a gentle movement.

“I don’t mind the loss, what I mind is your attitude.” Chi Ying lowered his eyes and said, “You are here with me, but your heart is towards the Federation and Cecil. I don’t like it very much.” Zhou Mian was not angry Xu Dao: “I don’t know what the spy is, and I don’t know what the message is. I think you may have misunderstood something.”

Chi Ying just chuckled. “A-mian.”

Chi Ying called out. Seeing Zhou Mian tilting his head and not responding, he paused, curled his lips, and punched Zhou Mian.

Even when Chi Ying is beating someone, his posture is still contented, noble, and elegant, and his expression has not changed. Rather than an adult, it is more like he is caressing someone intimately.

The movement looked very light, but the strength was sufficient.

Chi Ying was so fast that by the time Zhou Mian reacted, he had no time to dodge, so he had to move away embarrassingly, letting his fist land on his heart instead of his stomach.

“Hmm…”

After all, the heart is a vital point. Zhou Mian’s face turned pale and he bent down while pressing his heart.

Seeing Zhou Mian hugging herself into a ball, Chi Ying was also stunned.

He didn’t intend to strike hard, so he hit him in the stomach. Why did Zhou Mian deliver the vital wound himself…?

Seeing how Zhou Mian looked like he was injured, Chiying shook his head and called a doctor.

Zhou Mian vaguely heard what Chi Ying was talking about as a doctor, and felt a chill in his heart.

He couldn’t let Chi Ying find out…

Zhou Mian took a deep breath, stood up regardless of the pain, and wanted to stop Chi Ying. However, Chi Ying turned around and grabbed Zhou Mian’s waist with one hand, and pinched his chin with the other, forcing Zhou Mian to be with him. Look at each other.

“I said, no matter what you do, I will forgive you.” Chi Ying tilted his head and smiled: “But, I still need an explanation.”

Zhou Mian gritted his teeth and said: “The explanation is… me… me and you, Never more than a stranger.”

Chi Ying’s eyes darkened.

“Okay.”

“Very good.”

The two of them faced each other next to the door.

Ahhhhhh the baby is here
