In the next half month, the Zerg and the Federation were still testing each other. Cecil and Zhou Mian discussed countermeasures and deployed troops together every day, and the atmosphere in the army became increasingly tense.
Gu Xingzhi also brought soldiers from the frontier to support him.
At this moment, Cecil and Zhou Mian were enjoying the rare leisure time in their room.
Cecil had a piano moved into the room, and Zhou Mian was playing now. Cecil held him with one hand and followed Zhou Mian’s fingers with the other.
“It’s so difficult.” Cecil rested his head on Zhou Mian’s shoulder and muttered, “Teach me a simpler piece of music. I don’t want to learn Moonlight anymore.”
Zhou Mian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
This man, when he first said that he wanted to learn to play the piano from him, Zhou Mian wanted to teach him basic skills, but Cecil insisted on playing the moonlight in one step.
“I’ve told you all.” Zhou Mian patted Cecil’s hand and said, “It’s embarrassing for the little lion to hear it when it’s played like this.” Now it was confirmed that the child in Zhou Mian’s belly was a boy. After confirmation, Cecil named him Leo, hoping that he would lead as bravely as a lion.
“He dares to despise me.” Cecil put his hand on Zhou Mian’s belly and said with a smile, “This little brat is trying to steal Mianmian from me.”
Zhou Mian said helplessly, “What are you saying?”
“Jealous.” Cecil pouted deliberately.
“You…” Zhou Mian put his hands around Cecil’s waist and said, “Do you still look like an admiral?”
Cecil smiled, lowered his head, and kissed Zhou Mian’s forehead.
‘Knock knock.’
The two of them were stunned.
“Admiral.”
Gu Xingzhi’s voice came from outside the door: “Report!”
Cecil reluctantly let go of Zhou Mian, stood up straightened his collar, and said: “Come in.”
Gu Xingzhi stood alone. Neatly dressed in military uniforms, the dusty man stepped forward with his sword in hand and said, “Half of the border army has arrived! Waiting for the general’s order!”
“Okay.” Cecil nodded.
After Gu Xingzhi and Cecil discussed for a while, Cecil raised his eyebrows and asked, “Have you seen Ellen?”
Gu Xingzhi’s expression turned serious, and he said stiffly, “I saw him before.”
Before officially moving the army, Gu Xingzhi went to Huangxing to discuss with Cecil and others and met with Ellen.
“Huh?” Cecil smiled and said, “Did you quarrel?”
Gu Xingzhi remained silent.
When he saw Ellen before, he was hugging a man and smiling sweetly, ignoring him.
Gu Xingzhi felt that the man’s back was very familiar, but he had no time to take a closer look. God knows how much effort he spent to suppress the anger in his heart.
“Brother…! We will get married when we return to the capital.”
In the dark corridor, Ellen tiptoed slightly and laughed softly: “Are you willing?”
Then the man nodded silently, and the two of them acted as if there was no one else around. They didn’t notice him.
At that moment, Gu Xingzhi only felt angry, but he had no right to interfere with Ellen’s life, so he could only strode away in anger.
Cecil and Zhou Mian knew what was going on when they saw Gu Xingzhi’s expression, and couldn’t help but feel bad.
This Ellen…is something.
Zhou Mian paused for a moment, hesitated to speak, and then said nothing, watching Gu Xingzhi leave with strong resentment.
After Gu Xingzhi left, Zhou Mian and Cecil looked at each other.
“Don’t worry.” Cecil smiled and patted Zhou Mian and said, “They have been making trouble since childhood.”
Zhou Mian nodded.
“But you believe it now?” Cecil raised his eyebrows and said, “Gu Xingzhi is more chauvinistic than me.”
Zhou Mian couldn’t laugh or cry.
Gu Xingzhi and Cecil on the other side reported and planned to return to his battleship.
Go back…
Gu Xingzhi stopped and looked at his black boots in a trance.
Ellen is here too… should we go and see him? Just, at least say hello. Not for anything, just to say hello.
Gu Xingzhi was still hesitating in his mind, but his body was very honest and his feet had already involuntarily walked towards the temporary plant on the main battleship.
‘Touch…!’
Gu Xingyi was stunned.
As soon as he reached the plant factory gate with his front feet, he saw Ellen holding a big box and fell.
“Your Highness!” A researcher on the side hurried over and asked, “Are you okay?”
“It’s okay, okay!” Ellen didn’t complain. He just stood up quickly and quickly threw the box out of the box with the researcher. The herbs were put back.
“Sorry, sorry… I didn’t see the steps.” Ellen wiped the sweat from his forehead and lifted the box again.
Gu Xingzhi stood aside, so shocked that he was petrified.
This is…Ellen? Wasn’t he soul-pierced? Was this the squeamish Ellen he knew?
In the past, Ellen would not let him move boxes, but even if he fell, he would hold him and cry out in pain.
But the Ellen in front of him didn’t look like a noble prince at all. He was wearing simple clothes, his blond hair was tied up high, and his sleeves were pulled up. He was so busy in the plant factory that his feet didn’t even touch the ground. If he fell, he would crawl up without saying a word. He got up and continued to direct everyone to work. He was now able to stand alone in the plant factory.
Gu Xingzhi looked at him blankly.
“That one over there! Get the instrument and come with me to B8 to see the patient. And…” he turned around and saw Gu Xingzhi, but was stunned.
“…Gu Xingzhi?”
The researchers on the side saw Ellen standing frozen on the spot, staring blankly at Gu Xingzhi, then smiled took the instrument, and left first.
Gu Xingzhi didn’t say anything, he just stepped forward, squatted down, and lifted Ellen’s pants.
“Hey…!” Ellen glared and said, “What are you doing!”
“You’re injured, please apply some medicine first.” Gu Xingzhi frowned as he looked at the bruise on Ellen’s knee.
To his surprise, there were many small scratches on the backs and palms of Ellen’s hands, and there was also a bruise on his left elbow.
Gu Xingzhi’s brows furrowed even more tightly, and he grabbed Elun’s wrist and said in a deep voice, “Where did the wounds come from?” It was not a secret after all, and Ellen said honestly: “The palms and backs of the hands got scratched while making herbs and moving things. I accidentally got it when I was carrying things, and my elbow was injured when the patient went crazy a few days ago and was accidentally pushed.”
…
“You…” Gu Xingzhi sighed and said, “Why are you doing this? Why don’t you just stay in the capital?”
“Do you look down on me?” Ellen widened his eyes and said, “I can be on my own now. My swordsmanship has also improved greatly, and I can even cope with the battlefield!”
Gu Xingzhi was stunned, but he didn’t expect Ellen’s reaction to be so big.
Ellen’s face flushed with excitement, and he slapped his shoulders and shouted, “Gu Xingzhi, you are such a bastard!”
Seeing Ellen trembling with anger, Gu Xingzhi immediately held his arms and said warmly: “What I said, that was the wrong thing to say, don’t be angry, don’t be angry.”
When the rest of the plant factory saw Ellen yelling suddenly, they immediately lowered their heads and did not dare to look at them.
Gu Xingzhi pulled Ellen away and came outside, saying, “Ellen, don’t be angry.”
Gu Xingzhi didn’t understand why Yi Lun was so angry.
“You, can’t you see my efforts?” Ellen was trembling all over, clenching his hands into fists and saying, “You still look down on me!”
“I don’t look down on you, I feel sorry for you.” Gu Xing Zhi held Ellen’s hand and frowned: “I…can’t bear to part with it either.”
Ellen was stunned.
“I do not want you to take care of it.” Ellen took back his hand and tilted his head.
Gu Xingzhi was stunned, remembering the man holding Ellen before, and his aura became cold and dangerous.
“Who was…that man who was with you before?”
“…Ah?” Aeron blinked.
Gu Xingzhi said with a cold face and dark eyes: “Who is he? Where does he live? How old is he? How do you know each other? How did he get close to you.”
“…Oh,” Ellen remembered It was Wang Zun who had pretended to be a couple with him before to show Gu Xingzhi.
Ellen sneered, rolled his eyes, and said, “What do you think? It has nothing to do with you anyway.”
“…”
Ellen raised his eyebrows and said, “Didn’t you say that I don’t deserve to be with you? Then I’m with someone else. Don’t worry about it. You hate me anyway.”
“Ellen… I didn’t, you understand, I…”
“I don’t understand?” Aeron interrupted without any hesitation.
Gu Xingzhi looked at Ellen blankly, wondering why he suddenly changed from hysterical to so cold.
Ellen turned his head and smiled, and said deliberately: “I grew up in a golden nest, and I will never understand. So now, I just decided to give up on you. I don’t want to understand anymore.”
“You…” Gu Xingzhi’s eyes were bloody red.
Ellen snorted coldly, turned around, and left. He knew that Gu Xingzhi was doing it for his good, and he understood the truth.
But…Ellen lowered his eyes. He just wanted to win Gu Xingzhi’s respect. He just wanted an equal relationship.
Gu Xingzhi looked at Ellen’s leaving figure and clenched his hands into fists that made a crisp sound.
Gu Xingzhi took a deep breath and took out the terminal.
“Help me check someone out .”
The Zerg and the Federation have fought several times, and the losses on both sides are not huge yet. If we analyze it carefully, the Federation is better.
Under Cecil’s reorganization and command over the years, the federal military has become extremely powerful. Now coupled with Glacier’s troops, it is even more powerful.
“Brother…when will uncle come back?”
In the room, Xiao Le took Zhou Mian’s arm and said, “I miss him.”
Zhou Mian hugged Xiao Le and lay on the bed together, smiling: “It’s almost… Your uncle has sent a message back, saying that he won the battle and is now resting and preparing to come back.”
“Oh…”
Xiao Le changed his position, resting his head on Zhou Mian’s arm, and, blinked: “Brother, don’t you miss uncle?”
Xiao Le stretched out his hand and carefully placed it on Zhou Mian’s protruding belly: “Where’s my brother? Don’t you think about it?”
“I think about it.”
Zhou Mian lowered his eyes and said, “I think about it… I mean Xiao Le’s younger brother…”
Zhou Mian thought it must be related to the baby. He’s not that delicate, but he hasn’t seen him for a week, so he won’t… won’t think about it.
Zhou Mian reached out and touched his belly.
The doctor said that he would give birth at any time in the next few days. To be honest, he still felt a little aggrieved that Cecil was not around.
But Zhou Mian understands that about this matter… he cannot be willful.
News came from the secret agent that the Queen of the Zerg passed away last week. The Zerg royal family was suppressing the news, but it was already in chaos internally.
“Brother…”
Zhou Mian was thinking, when he saw Xiao Le burying his head in Zhou Mian’s arms and saying muffledly: “When my brother is born, will my brother and uncle not want Xiao Le…”
Zhou Mian was stunned for a moment and then stretched out his hand to rub it. He rubbed Xiao Le’s head and said warmly: “How could it be? Your younger brother is your younger brother, and you are you. They are two different people.”
“Really?”
“Really…” Zhou Mian hugged Xiao Le. He smiled and said, “I will love you and protect you for the rest of my life. You will always be my and Cecil’s child, do you understand?”
“Oh…” Xiao Le blinked and said, “Then will my brother become the general in the future? Can I be his lieutenant?”
“Huh?” Zhou Mian raised an eyebrow and asked, “Who told you this?”
“Brother Ellen, he said that my brother and I will protect the Federation together from now on.” Xiao Le muttered, ” Listen…it’s so hard…”
Zhou Mian looked at Xiao Le’s frowning smiling face and couldn’t laugh or cry. He pinched his chubby cheeks and said, “You’d better go to sleep. Your brother isn’t even born yet.”
“Uh-huh.” Xiao Le obediently closed his eyes: “Good night, brother.”
“Good night.”
Zhou Mian turned off the lamp.
Xiao Le has become more cheerful every day since he followed Zhou Mian. Now he is no different from ordinary children.
Xiao Le took a nap at noon today, so he could wake up at the slightest movement in the middle of the night.
After hearing Zhou Mian’s groan, Xiao Le immediately opened his eyes and turned on the lamp.
“…Brother?”
Zhou Mian’s face was pale, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
Xiao Le was a little scared and hurriedly grabbed Zhou Mian’s hand and shook it.
Zhou Mian frowned, hugged his belly, and whispered, “Go… call someone.”
“Okay!”
Xiao Le hurriedly jumped out of bed to find Ellen, who was sleeping next door.
Xiao Le remembered what Cecil told him, and before leaving the room, he ran to the bed and shook the bell hanging nearby.
That’s the doctor’s bell.
After a while, a large group of doctors who were ready around the clock rushed in.
Ellen came too, still wearing pajamas, his hair disheveled and his face confused.
“What… what’s wrong?!” Ellen smoothed out his messy hair, hugged Xiao Le, and comforted him, “Is he okay?”
“It’s okay! It’s Admiral Zhou… who’s giving birth!”
Ellen’s eyes widened. Eye.
“My younger brother is about to be born?!” Xiao Le hugged Ellen’s neck and whispered, “Really!”
“Yes…!” Ellen hurriedly took out the terminal.
He wanted to contact Cecil.
At the same time, doctors and nurses quickly moved the instruments over.
“Admiral Zhou, you must calm down and relax…”
Dr. Ford grabbed Zhou Mian’s wrist and said warmly: “Relax…”
The pain coming from his stomach made Zhou Mian unable to relax. At this moment, he could only try.
This pain is different from the pain of ordinary injuries. It is twitching from deep inside the body.
Zhou Mian frowned and adjusted his breathing.
“Doctor…” Zhou Mian opened his mouth wide and said with sweat on his forehead: “Is… is it soon?”
The doctor comforted: “It’s almost, it’s soon! At least two hours, at most twenty-four hours. For the average person, It’s half a day.”
Zhou Mian paused and whispered: “Two hours…so fast…”
Zhou Mian looked a little depressed.
The doctor was puzzled, wouldn’t it be better to give birth as soon as possible? Is it possible that the pain should last as long as possible?
“Doctor.” Zhou Mian asked, “Can you go slower?”
“What?”
Zhou Mian said, “I want to give birth slower, can you delay it for a while?”
“Admiral, what you mean is…” Ford felt incredible.
Is he crazy?
“Director.” Another middle-aged doctor on the side was not as old-fashioned as Ford. He had been immersed in the laboratory all year round and had more practical experience and more operating tables. He pulled Ford and whispered: “General Zhou wants us to wait for Admiral Cecil.”
Ford was stunned.
Ford sighed, lowered his head, and said to Zhou Mian: “Admiral Zhou, you can’t control the time of delivery. You must relax and let nature take its course.” Another middle-aged doctor also smiled and said: “It’s all fate, no matter what. Junior admiral will receive the blessing of Admiral Cecil.”
“Well…” Zhou Mian tilted his head in disappointment.
Ellen stood aside, holding the terminal, and asked Cecil in a low voice.
“Where are you…!”
“Trust me.” Cecil’s firm voice came from the other end of the terminal: “I will come back.”
“Okay…!”
Then the doctor transferred Zhou Mian to The isolation ward in the main battleship.
…
“Big brother, where do people come from?”
“They come from mother’s belly.”
“Why?”
In the dark little room, little Zhou Mian pulled the sleeves of his big brother and opened his eyes. He asked with big curious eyes: “Why is there a child in the mother’s belly?”
“Because… this…” The big brother in the memory seemed to have a troubled face.
“Because… you are married. Once you get married, you can have a baby.”
“Huh?” Xiao Zhou Mian tilted his head, and after thinking for a moment, he said seriously: “Then I will marry my eldest brother.”
“Pfft—— ”
The eldest brother was drinking water, and a mouthful of water spurted out.
…
Zhou Mian opened his eyes drowsily, only to feel that the world fell into chaos.
In the past, women were responsible for reproducing offspring. Although men can now do so with evolution, it is not as easy as women. Fortunately, Zhou Mian was used to pain, so he gradually got used to the rhythm of labor pains.
Zhou Mian was lying on the bed, and Xiao Le had been forced to sleep in another room by Ellen. Only Ellen and a few doctors were guarding the bed.
Ellen looked at Zhou Mian who had a painful look on his face, but the expression on his face was even more uncomfortable than Zhou Mian’s, and his little face was pale.
Oh my god…
Will he also have children like this after he and Gu Xingzhi get together?
It hurts so much…
Ellen secretly decided that he would never give birth in the future, and if he did… it would be Gu Xingzhi who would do it!
That’s right, why let Gu Xingzhi live? Anyway, he will die!
Thinking about it, he felt even more sorry for Zhou Mian. He held Zhou Mian’s hand seriously and said, “A-Mian, don’t be afraid. It is just this time. We won’t have any more babies in the future. Let Cecil do it by himself.”
“Okay…” Zhou Mian’s face turned pale in pain, but he was suddenly amused by Ellen.
I can’t even think about it, I just want to laugh when I think about Cecil’s bulging belly.
Ellen occasionally says a few words to Zhou Mian to relieve his tension. But in the second half of the night, Zhou Mian really couldn’t laugh anymore.
“Ah…”
Zhou Mian raised his head and held the sheets tightly with his hands.
“Ah, A-mian…” Ellen’s face turned pale.
“It’s okay, normal…” Zhou Mian turned to comfort Yi Lun and said, “You… you can go out first…”
“No, no, no, I, I, I will stay with you.” Ellen took a deep breath and stood up and went to help the nurse.
Zhou Mian bit his lower lip tightly.
It hurts…
Zhou Mian closed his eyes and fell into a drowsy state again.
They stayed like this until almost early in the morning, and the doctor asked Ellen to step forward and help Zhou Mian up.
Ellen’s eyes lit up.
About there……!
Zhou Mian bit a strip of cloth in his mouth and clenched his hands tightly into fists, and his back was already wet.
Ellen stepped forward and was about to stretch out his hand when he heard a deafening sound.
“…I’ll come!”
‘Thud’
Everyone in the room was stunned.
The door was rudely opened, and a tall man pushed the door open with one hand. He bent over and held his knees with one hand, gasping for breath: “Has A-mian given birth?!”
It was Cecil.
“Admiral…?”
Ellen’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Cecil looked extremely embarrassed, his hair and clothes were in a mess, carrying the dust and dirt from being on the battlefield for many days, plus Cecil was in a panic at the moment, and he looked like he had just appeared out of nowhere. The homeless man.
Ellen rubbed his eyes, thinking he was hallucinating.
“A-mian…!” Cecil didn’t care anymore. He rushed back like crazy. Even now, the shock caused by speeding still lingers in his head, and he was all dusty from traveling.
“Oh, General! You can’t come in, you haven’t disinfected it yet!”
“Admiral, calm down first——!”
“Admiral, you can’t get close to General Zhou! Quickly, bring the disinfectant and clothes…”
A large group of guards The nurses and guards outside immediately stepped forward to hold Cecil down. The scene was chaotic.
Ellen stood aside. Seeing Cecil like this for the first time, he couldn’t help laughing.
Zhou Mian opened his eyes in a daze and saw Cecil being held up.
“Cecil…?” Zhou Mian was also stunned.
How is it possible…
Is it really… him?
“A-mian! A-mian! I’m here!” Cecil shouted: “A-mian, don’t be afraid! Don’t be afraid, I will be back! I will accompany you, you wait for me!”
“Cecile… Admiral…” The guard who stopped Cecil at the side couldn’t laugh or cry, so he went out to wash his hands, making it seem like he was about to leave.
Zhou Mian blinked and looked at Cecil blankly.
For a moment, Zhou Mian curled his lips and smiled with satisfaction.
“Okay…”
It’s him.
It was his Cecil. Cecil came back…
Of course, it still hurt, but Zhou Mian seemed to have been given a lot of strength, and he felt happy and warm in his heart.
Zhou Mian reached out his hand in confusion and grabbed a handful of air.
“Don’t worry.” Ellen stretched out his hand scratched the hair on Zhou Mian’s forehead and said with a smile, “Cecil will come right away after disinfection and cleaning!”
After waiting for a while, Cecil came back wearing a white isolation suit.
As soon as Cecil entered the door, he rushed forward like crazy and hugged Zhou Mian, helped Zhou Mian up, and let him lean against him.
“A-mian…Mianmian…don’t be afraid, I’m here.” Cecil put his head on Zhou Mian’s shoulder and kept talking in his ear.
“Don’t panic, don’t panic…”
I don’t know who is panicking.
Despite this, Zhou Mian still felt at ease. Peace of mind like never before.
“I’m not afraid.”
Just as the sun was rising, Zhou Mian finally gave birth.
The pain of childbirth was indeed no ordinary pain, it was the unbearable tearing pain. Even Zhou Mian couldn’t help but scream.
Fortunately, everything went well, Zhou Mian was safe and sound, and the baby was healthy and crying loudly.
It is like a little lion, born to face the rising sun.
Thinking about it, this is the best news for the Federation in recent years, except for the marriage between Cecil and Zhou Mian.
Ellen… Oh Ellen
The baby is here
