The next morning, Cecil woke up and saw that his bed was empty, and he only felt stuffed in his heart.
Alas……. Obviously married, but still living like a bachelor.
Cecil opened his arms to the sun shining down his windows.
Ah, such a handsome and perfect me, why should I bear such a punishment.
“Admiral…!”
However, after Cecil slowly put on his military uniform and lamented his bumpy fate and steadfastness, he saw the butler knocking on the door in a hurry.
“Huh? What’s wrong?”
The butler exclaimed, “Admiral Zhou, he… it’s time for him to leave. ”
……
…… ？？？？！
“Bang! Zhou Mian, who was dragging his suitcase and preparing to walk towards the door, was stunned, when he saw that the door behind him was rudely pushed open, and Cecil stood at the door with great momentum, shouting: “What are you doing?!”
Because he was so nervous, his tongue also got knotted.
Zhou Mian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “I’m going to move out.”
“Move?! Where to? “
“Plant factory.”
“Why!”
Zhou Mian blinked and said, “I’m worried about disturbing the admiral’s life and sleep.” Cecil: “…”
These words were a bit too familiar, Cecil remembered these were his words from last night, “I’m worried about disturbing your sleep”, and got so angry that he took a few steps forward, stopped in front of Zhou Mian, bowed his head and whispered: “Are you taking revenge on me?”
Zhou Mian only felt a black shadow shrouding him, and raised his head to meet Cecil’s sharp eyes.
“I didn’t.” Zhou Mian tilted his head and said, “Can’t it…” Seeing
that Cecil didn’t speak, Zhou Mian sighed and said, “I didn’t want to say this, but…”
Zhou Mian shook his head and said, “Admiral, did I ever tell you? My senses and mental power are different from ordinary people, I can perceive what others cannot, and I am sensitive enough to get hold of the even slightly exposed emotions of others.”
Cecil froze.
Zhou Mian lowered his head, and his eyes, and his long eyelashes were slightly trembling.
“So I know you’re hiding from me these days. Whether it’s because of how I acted or what the Admiral actually did. What I know, I know.”
Cecil opened his mouth, unable to utter a word.
“I also know that I am an admiral.” Zhou Mian said with a smile: “So I moved out not only to solve the admiral’s troubles, but also to not put myself in an embarrassing situation. It’s not bad for me to move out, we are still comrades-in-arms, I will still help the admiral, please admiral do not blame yourself.”
Zhou Mian pulled the suitcase and said, “As for the outside world and the media, I have a good reason. Now that the plant factory has just started business, it is not wrong for me to live in the plant factory for easy management.”
Cecil lowered his hands to his sides and clenched his fists.
“Zhou Mian… You’re really… observative.” Cecil gritted his teeth and said, “and also decisive.” Zhou Mian has always been so aloof, he doesn’t get entangled or distressed, he simply leaves first and ends the relationship.
He leaves no way back and all the troubles are solved together.
Zhou Mian gently pushed Cecil away, and turned to Cecil before pulling the suitcase to leave: “These days, I really thank the admiral for taking care of me.” You saved me, gave me the confidence to stay here, and gave me respect and a mission.
“Thank you.” Zhou Mian bowed slightly, and then left.
Cecil looked at the empty gate stunned.
He knew why Zhou Mian wanted to give him a paper crane, it was his farewell gift.
……
After Zhou Mian went downstairs, the housekeeper was shocked to see that he was still dragging his suitcase down.
“Admiral Zhou… You are…”
Zhou Mian said indifferently: “I discussed with Admiral Cecil, and he also agreed that I would go out and live.”
The housekeeper is also an old man, how can he not know what it means if he really let Zhou Mian go out and live this time.
“Admiral Zhou…”
“During this period, I really thank Uncle Butler for taking care of me.” Zhou Mian sincerely saluted the butler.
“Admiral Zhou…!
The old butler searched for a while before reluctantly saying, “If you are gone, what will happen to Young Master Xiaole? He was going to skip eating again.”
Zhou Mian said, “I also thought about this problem. Before I leave, I will ask Xiao Le’s opinion if he is willing to leave with me, I will take good care of him, and I will often bring him back to meet with Cecil and Uncle. If he doesn’t want to move, I will visit him often.”
“This…” The old housekeeper hoped in his heart that Xiao Le would not be willing to move, and often dragged Zhou Mian back on that reason.
However, unexpectedly, Xiao Le actually agreed to move with Zhou Mian, and took the initiative to pick up his rabbit doll and asked if the piano could be moved together.
Butler: “…” In this way, Zhou Mian held the child in one hand, carried the suitcase with the other hand and got into the aircraft, and left the admiral’s mansion.
The aircraft headed towards the plant factory.
Zhou Mian sighed.

“We’re going to where I work.”
Zhou Mian patted Xiao Le’s back and soothed him, “It’s okay, I’ll accompany you. It’s fun outside, there are many beautiful and gentle little brothers, little sisters, and many more…”
Xiao Le squeezed his head into Zhou Mian’s arms and said, “I don’t want anyone else…”
“Uh-huh, don’t let others bully us Xiaole. “ Zhou Mian said in his heart, can’t push too hard, he’ll slowly let the child accept the outside world.
The aircraft arrived at the plant factory, and Zhou Mian moved his luggage into the room with Kevin’s help.
Later, the 12th Army also came with a few people to help set up the rooms and carry Xiao Le’s piano around.
Fortunately, the designer was very far-sighted, and the plant factory had a very large private space in the rear, living room, kitchen, room… It’s like a small house, although there is only one bedroom, it is still big enough to accommodate them.
Zhou Mian took Xiao Le’s hand and introduced him to everyone one by one.
“If I go to work later, Xiaole can stay in the room and can play the piano, draw, and do origami as before.” Zhou Mian smiled and said, “Brother Ellen, do you know him? He will also come to accompany you.”
“Don’t. “ Xiao Le held Zhou Mian’s leg, uncomfortable as he looked at this unfamiliar environment.
Zhou Mian squatted down, pinched Xiao Le’s cheeks and smiled: “Then Xiao Le wants to eat now?”
“Pudding…?” Xiao Le blinked.
“Yes.” Kevin took someone to tidy up and clean the area, and Ming Yan arrived later.
Watching Zhou Mian busy himself in the kitchen alone with an apron on, while Xiao Le sat on a small stool on the side playing with his toys, Ming Yan suddenly had a subtle feeling.
This……
This looks like the admiral’s wife running away with the child…
She shook her head to get rid of a picture of the scumbag Cecil abandoning his wife and son, and his wife gritting his teeth and living with the child alone.
“Ming Yan is here?” Zhou Mian smiled and said, “Do you want to eat pudding?”
“No, no need…” Ming Yan said with a dry smile: “I just came to check on the situation and inform the admiral on the way that your adjutant from the Glacier Capital has arrived. I brought him here, and he’s now getting checked for entry.”
In a moment, the adjutant came in.
Mingyan left with her amusing thoughts and turned to harass Kevin.
Kevin was moving when he saw his little girl spinning around him and telling him all her weird thoughts. Although he had a headache listening to them, his heart was happy and at peace.
Zhou Mian looked at the two and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“Admiral! The tall adjutant gave Zhou Mian a regular military salute.
Since Zhou Mian came to the Federation, at the beginning and at the end of each month , the adjutant would come to hand over the work, and Zhou Mian often had to return to deal with the military affairs of his Glacier Army. But after all his efforts the entrenchment of the frontier had finally declined.
“You’ve worked hard.” Zhou Mian patted the adjutant’s shoulder.
“Not hard at all!” The adjutant kicked his feet, stood up straight and saluted, then handed Zhou Mian some important documents he had brought over.
Zhou Mian was a little puzzled after looking at it.
So little?
The adjutant immediately said: “Marshal Chris will also return to visit the admiral tomorrow, and he will bring the remaining documents along!”
Zhou Mian was stunned.
Chris was coming?
For reminiscing with him?
“Good.” But in any case, Zhou Mian is still very happy about Chris’s arrival.
Now Chris is not just a big officer of the glacier family, after defeating and weakening the royal family, now the glacier is completely owned by him and Admiral Zhou Mian, and there are some fragmentary families involved, in short, both held heavy power.
Chris personally coming to the Federation to talk to him, made Zhou Mian cherish their friendship even more.
“And according to the admiral’s instructions , I have also found something.” The adjutant carefully took out a brocade box.
Zhou Mian was stunned, “My… Ring?”
“Yes, I sent someone to Miss Zhou Ying’s planet to retrieve the Admiral’s ring as ordered, but the journey was too far away, so it was delayed.” Zhou Mian turned around the brocade box, opened it, and saw a blue ring lying inside. The ring has lost its luster over the many years, and no matter how much he took care of it, it still got rusty in some inconspicuous corners.
The color of the ring is very ordinary, and there is no design, just a simple ring.
But Zhou Mian’s heart felt at ease after seeing it, this ring had become a habit for him.
“Well done. “ Zhou Mian smiled and put the ring on.
Zhou Mian took the adjutant to the living room, and after listening to the report, he returned to the kitchen to serve the little ancestor of his family his food, and put him to bed with a bedtime story.
The next day, Chris arrived as scheduled.
Chris did not use his official name, he used his own private aircraft, and did not intend to alarm the Federal Foreign Office and the official government reception.
The purpose of his trip was only to visit friends, without any identity.
“Really?”
Zhou Mian smiled and said, “Really come to just talk to me?” Why did Chris suddenly become idle, when he didn’t even have time to make a phone call before.
At this moment, Zhou Mian is taking Chris to visit his “new home”, the plant factory.
“Yes, I just don’t want to trouble Admiral Cecil, and I don’t want to do those superficial official courtesies.” Chris smiled and said, “If I came in with the official name, I wouldn’t be able to talk to you like a friend.”
Zhou Mian bowed his head and looked at the man in front of him and felt a little surprised.
After a long time, Chris has changed.
In the past, Chris was a brother on the battlefield like him, everyone gulped and talked loudly, and the image was sloppy and casual. But now Chris…
Zhou Mian felt that this was also a good thing, after all, Chris had become more handsome.
Now Chris is tall and big, hides the casualness on the battlefield, and has a little more dazzling nobility and arrogance around himself. The brown hair was arranged neatly, the military uniform was imposing, the facial features were not angry and self-threatening, and the demeanor between the raised hands and gestures all showed the speciality of the superior.
Zhou Mian said, “Glacier… Are you okay now?”
“I’m good. “Chris smiled and shook his head: “With the intervention of the Federation, the royal family quickly collapsed. Even if the royal family has supporters and causes troubles, the blame will not be on our heads anymore, the Federation has decided to carry this pot.”
“Life on the frontier is also slowly getting better, and the Federation has sent people to develop the frontier with us, first solving the problem of food and clothing for the inhabitants there.” The two parties exchanged technology and shared manpower, and the project progressed quickly. When Zhou Mian heard this, he immediately smiled.
Chris looked at this smile, slightly surprised, and then said: “Zhou Mian… What about you? ”
“…… Yes?
Chris said, “How are you doing here?”
“Good.” Zhou Mian quickly answered.
Zhou Mian can live anywhere, as long as he has food to eat, and a more comfortable place to sleep, and Cecil has already modified the second half of the plant factory because he stayed in the plant factory, and the comfort level has increased again.
Zhou Mian felt that this was good.
“Really?” Chris frowned slightly.
Zhou Mian said, “Of course. It is not as harsh as the frontier, and you can eat cooked food all the time.”
“I don’t mean that.” Chris sighed, not knowing what to say.
For a moment, Chris touched his nose, as if returning to the reckless Chris of the past, and said, “What I said is… Is he nice to you? Is it really like rumors, you have a good relationship?” Chris
always felt that such a marriage must be unfair to Zhou Mian, and he, as a person from Zhou Mian’s side, always felt that he too was being bullied.
Although in fact, no one can bully Zhou Mian, but for Glacier, he is still worried.
“Miss Zhou Ying also quietly came to ask me about your recent situation before, and she also cares about you, but… Can’t come to face you”.
Zhou Mian was stunned.
For a moment, Zhou Mian kept silent and then asked: “Why did you suddenly ask about this?”
“I mean…”
Chris looked at Zhou Mian’s eyes and said seriously: “If he really treats you badly, you don’t have to be wronged here for the sake of the glacier.You can tell me directly, then we can negotiate with the federation, and at most suffer a slight loss in the contract. “
Zhou Mian was completely stunned at this moment.
Chris said coldly: “If you are not comfortable, divorce.”
Zhou Mian glared at him slightly.
Chris’s protection warmed his heart.
“I…”
“Get divorced yourself!”
Zhou Mian and Chris were stunned in unison, and when they turned their heads, they saw Cecil standing behind, his face was like a black pan, and his aura was like a very evil god.
“Does your brain have a problem? Yes? Who are you, coming from the glacier? As soon as you come here, pry me into a corner, encourage Ah Mian to divorce me, you can do anything you want, you… Yo?” Cecil initially stood in the distance and saw the back of Chris, so he didn’t know who it was at first, but now he was surprised when he saw the face, and became even more energetic.
Well, it was actually the commander next door who came to provoke him and provoked his family to break!
In his turf, not to mention his shampoo, Cecil felt that even the strands of his hair were green.
Cecil stepped forward and swore an oath of sovereignty, stood between Zhou Mian and Chris, separated the two, raised his eyebrows and looked at Chris: “The marshal came all the way to visit the Federation, why didn’t he say a word about it to me?” If he hadn’t recognized him, wouldn’t he have beaten up the unknown guy uncontrollably?
Chris was stunned and said quietly: “I just came to visit my old friend this time, and I’m sorry if I caused trouble to the admiral.”
Cecil stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhou Mian’s shoulder, and said with a smile: “No trouble, no trouble, Amian’s friend is my friend.” Zhou Mian couldn’t laugh or cry.
Understanding a Man’s heart was harder than finding a needle under the sea. The day before yesterday, he said with a straight face that he wanted to live separately , why did he go rogue again today?
Zhou Mian did not want to offend both sides, so he simply held Cecil with one hand, patted Chris’s shoulder with the other, and said, “I specially made fried chicken for Xiaole today, you guys should come eat together, right? It’s good to accompany the child.” Zhou Mian had already made an appointment with Chris for lunch, and now that Cecil was here, Zhou Mian felt that if he didn’t invite him, the two would fight again.
Chris said gently, “I was going to accompany you to a meal.”
“Accompany! My child can eat whatever he wants!” Cecil surrounded Zhou Mian and arrogantly went to the dining room.
Zhou Mian looked at these two people, a Glacier marshal, and a Federation Admiral who was like a three-year-old child at this moment, and couldn’t help but chuckle.
A few people went to the dining room, and Zhou Mian put on oil-proof gloves and brought out a large plate of fragrant fried chicken.
Xiaole resisted outsiders, and Cecil could barely accept it, but Chris was there, so Xiaole walked around holding Zhou Mian’s thigh the whole time. When several people sat at the dining table and started, Xiaole sat on Zhou Mian’s knee, and Zhou Mian held the child with one hand and peeled chicken for the child with the other.
Looking at Xiao Le’s silent eating, Zhou Mian asked in a low voice, “Is it delicious?”
“Delicious…!” Xiao Le immediately raised his head and smiled sweetly at Zhou Mian.
He loves fried chicken.
Cecil looked at Xiao Le on the side, and was immediately stunned.
Looking at a Zhou Mian with such gentle eyes again, his heart moved slightly.
Chris was also looking at Zhou Mian, he noticed that there seemed to be some gap between Zhou Mian and Cecil, and they were not naturally getting along, and he couldn’t help but have his own thoughts in his heart.
“Zhou Mian.” Chris took a small chicken leg and put it in Zhou Mian’s bowl, and said with a smile: “In a few days, our glacial harvest celebration will begin, do you plan to come back? Last year, you were in charge of the celebration guard. “
The celebration will last fifteen days, and if Zhou Mian goes back to help, he will stay for fifteen days.
Zhou Mian lowered his head and groaned.
The reason why Zhou Mian thought about it was because there were many officers who could do the job in the celebration of glacier, and now that the plant factory was just on track, he was very much needed. And he considers Xiao Le, if he went to the celebration, then he has to take Xiao Le out of the Federation … Can Xiaole withstand this now?
Seeing that Zhou Mian seemed to be hesitating, Cecil was extremely stunned, as if he had won a battle, and slowly stretched his chopsticks into Zhou Mian’s bowl with his eyes and nose turned up…
Picked up the piece of meat that Chris gave to Zhou Mian.
Zhou Mian: “???
Then, seeing Cecil very calmly clipping the piece of meat back into Chris’s bowl, his attitude was very polite, and he smiled and said: “Marshal eat more.”
Zhou Mian: “…”
Zhou Mian changed the topic and said to Chris: “I don’t think I can leave for the time being, but I will go back to the celebration when I have the opportunity.”
“Alright.. Chris sighed secretly.
A meal was completed in the confrontation between Chris and Cecil.
Zhou Mian is shielded throughout the process.
In the end, Cecil is naïve, and Chris is just fighting for him, these two are not clear headed for the moment, simply out of their minds. So after eating, he directly took off the disposable gloves, picked up Xiaole and planned to leave on the grounds of coaxing the child to sleep.
At the moment when Zhou Mian took off his gloves, Cecil was stunned.
Cecil looked at the blue ring on Zhou Mian’s ring finger, and was directly petrified in place.
This……
Cecil’s throat was astringent, and the blood all over his body seemed to freeze in this instant.
The…… Ring!
Cecil felt his heart beat faster, almost jumping out of his chest, and his breathing became progressively rapid.
“Zhou Mian!”
Zhou Mian was stunned, and when he turned around, he only felt a figure flash in front of him, and there was a pain in his wrist.
“Admiral…?”
Zhou Mian saw Cecil with red eyes, clutched his wrist tightly, and asked him word by word: “Where did the ring come from?”
“……？ “
The ring?
Cecil said in a deep voice, “Let me ask you, where did the ring come from!”
Zhou Mian glared, he almost got breathless by Cecil’s heavy momentum, fortunately, he was not an ordinary person, and then calmed his mind, flung off Cecil’s hand and frowned: “I don’t know.”
“Why don’t you know where your ring is from?!” Cecil’s tone was too excited, which made Zhou Mian couldn’t help but wonder.
“Admiral Cecil, what are you doing!” Chris saw that Cecil suddenly looked at Zhou Mian with an almost murderous intent without warning, and his heart was even more dissatisfied.
Cecil glanced at Chris, took a deep breath and directly took Zhou Mian’s hand and walked out, and the strength was so great that Zhou Mian was stunned.
“Admiral Cecil …!”
Chris was immediately angry, and subconsciously wanted to stop him by drawing his sword, but Zhou Mian immediately looked over with a sharp and firm look, silently asking Chris not to catch up.
Then, Zhou Mian didn’t have time to see Chris’s expression, and was forcefully pulled into the room by Cecil.
Cecil let Xiaole go out to play, and he blocked Zhou Mian against the wall.
Zhou Mian was trapped by Cecil’s sturdy arms, his back was against the wall, and in front of him was a gloomy looking Cecil.
“What happened to the Admiral?” Zhou Mian met Cecil’s eyes.
“I asked you where the ring came from.”
“I lost my previous memories, and this ring was always with me.I don’t know where it came from.” Zhou Mian was methodical and half-concealed his words: “Why does the admiral care so much?”
“You…” Cecil clenched his hands into fists and made a crisp “creaking” sound.
He is patient.
Resisting the urge to peel away the person in front of him, he wanted to peel away everything about this person, peek into what he was thinking, and see through all his past. Little by little, without a single omission.
He also has this ring, but his is red. Xiao Qi gave him the most beautiful red of the pair of rings back then, saying not to forget him.
Is the snowman a coincidence, and the ring also a coincidence?
If it was a coincidence, why did he like Zhou Mian, and Zhou Mian said in his dream that he wanted to be a snowman and have a ring?
But the blue ring is not necessarily only Xiao Qi’s, what if it’s really a coincidence?
Cecil looked at Zhou Mian with a deadly glare.
