Cecil was about to return home when he received a notification from the housekeeper, saying that Zhou Mian drove the aircraft to the airport.
Cecil thought about simply going to the airport to pick him up and then go back together. This week, Mian is still unfamiliar with the place, even if there is navigation, is it enough?
However, Cecil was on vacation a few days ago to recover from his injury, and there were too many official duties to handle, so it was a long time before he had the opportunity to show Zhou Mian around after finishing the treatment.
The housekeeper had said that Zhou Mian had not gone back yet.
Cecil arrived at the airport with doubts, and saw Zhou Mian standing alone in the wilderness where the aircrafts took off, motionless.
The wilderness was windy, and the wind blew up Zhou Mian’s long silver-blue hair and the hem of his clothes. It was beautiful, but it was also a bit… lonely?
The appearance of Zhou Mian standing against the wind alone on the huge grass reminded Cecil of Zhou Mian who had previously commanded on the battlefield.
Across the battle line, Zhou Mian ordered the formation in an orderly manner, watching with high spirits.
And now Zhou Mian is standing in front of him.
Cecil didn’t know how long Zhou Mian had been standing here, but seeing the wind blowing away his long hair, he couldn’t help but took off his army green coat and put it on Zhou Mian’s shoulders.
“Why are you standing in the wind?”
Zhou Mian turned to look at Cecil blankly.
“Admiral came…?”
Cecil put the military cap on top of his head and the scarf around his neck and said, “Well, let’s go, don’t be recognized by others. I went through the VIP channel to pick you up.”
Zhou Mian suddenly laughed.
Zhou Mian was originally very good-looking, with watery eyes, a soft yet tough look, but Cecil currently felt that Zhou Mian’s long eyelashes, like black feathers could catch everything in the world.
And Zhou Mian smiled so unexpectedly, that Cecil was stunned at such a close distance.
Cecil didn’t understand why Zhou Mian suddenly laughed. He touched his nose and said, “Well, let’s go. I’ll let you drive your aircraft back later.”
“That’ll be good”.
The two went to the VIP passage. Cecil put his arm around Zhou Mian’s shoulder and said, “I’ll take you to eat first, and I have something to tell you.”
“Okay.” Zhou Mian was still smiling.
Cecil took Zhou Mian to a restaurant in the city center.
Cecil had already asked the adjutant to make a reservation, and now the two of them could use the privilege to go directly to the private room through the special elevator at the back door.
Zhou Mian slumped on the soft mat , looked at the bamboo table in front of him, and then looked at the unique designs around him, and asked curiously, “Is this… a restaurant?”
“Yes. It’s an ancient earth oriental restaurant, the chef is cooking. Now, it’s much better than those compressed foods.”
There were red lanterns and paper fans hanging all around, and the windows were also covered with red paper flowers and window decorations. Zhou Mian was stunned for a moment, unable to imagine how such a thin thing was cut out.
“It’s beautiful.”
Zhou Mian smiled and said, “Does the admiral like cooked food?”

Compressed food is not a simple nutrient solution. There are compressed canned meat, which can be eaten as soon as it is opened. There are also compressed canned vegetables, soups, and desserts, all of which can retain their original taste and be compressed and sealed.
But Cecil loves dishes that are fresh, pyrotechnic, and handcrafted.
“I can do it.” Zhou Mian smiled and said, “I can do it, but what I know is ancient earth western food, and I am not very good at oriental food…”
“You can?” Cecil’s eyes lit up.
“If the general doesn’t dislike it, I’ll do cook next time.” Zhou Mian lowered his eyes and said, “I thank you for this meal.”
“Then I earned it.” Cecil touched his chin and said, “We can’t come often, but we can cook at home every day.”
After that, the food was served, and the dishes in front of them were still smoking white smoke and aroma. The eyes of the two generals suddenly turned green, and they didn’t need to be humble, just picked up the chopsticks and did it.
The two have been fighting all year round, and in fact, there is almost no chance to eat cooked food.
“Hey, cooked food is indeed different.” Cecil took a bite of the pig’s foot and said, “Good enough!”
Zhou Mian couldn’t help laughing.
When he was almost done eating, Cecil wiped his hands, snapped his fingers and said, “I have something to tell you, first of all this.”
Cecil took out a stack of papers from his briefcase and handed it to Zhou Mian.
“Contract?”
Zhou Mian frowned slightly.
Surrender contract, marriage contract… how come there is still another contract?
Zhou Mian read it after taking it, but was stunned.
“This…”
Cecil proudly put down his chopsticks, grabbed a pig’s foot in his hand and bit it while saying, “Here it is, it will make things easier for you.”
Zhou Mian looked down at the burning contract in his hand, For a while, he even forgot to pick up vegetables to eat .
It turned out that Cecil went out earlier to find someone from the Glacier Government, for him.
Cecil negotiated with the Glacier government, and then asked them to return Zhou Mian’s army and let Zhou Mian regain command.
Originally Cecil wanted to return all the troops to him, after all, Zhou Mian was the general of the Empire. However, Zhou Mian’s identity as a criminal is still there, and after much running-in and negotiation, he can only retake the legion directly under his name.
“Let me state this first, your fiancé is powerful, handsome, and dashing, and he just grabbed it for your convenience. I didn’t pay any attention to your legion. “Cecil held up the pig’s feet and smiled: “You call the shots in your legion, it’s none of my business.”
“Okay.” Zhou Mian couldn’t help being amused by Cecil’s appearance.
Zhou Mian received the contract, and his heart was even more shaken.
In theory, he and Cecil would need to work together to take down the maggots of the royal family.
Should he exchange information with Cecil? He was holding on to the secrets in those USB drives, no conscience.
“I…”
“And…”
Zhou Mian and Cecil spoke at the same time.
Zhou Mian paused, then said: “You talk first.” Cecil said :”There is a second thing, I need your cooperation and help.”
“The 12th Legion is now investigating the relationship between the Glacier Royal Family and the Zerg.” Cecil observed Zhou Mian’s expression and said, “Do you know?”
Zhou Mian looked up at Cecil.
It turns out that Cecil said this too…
Cecil smiled: “I believe you know about this, and I guess this is also the reason why you are being hunted down. Someone has to take a step, I will come first, I trust you , I am willing to tell you the information I have found.”
“I know…” Zhou Mian whispered: “My father had also collected a lot of evidence. The Glacier Royal Family realized that my father was a threat. They poisoned my father when he was unable to guard against it, and I was unable to save him.”
Cecil looked up and saw Zhou Mian’s face as usual, but he could not see any emotion.
This man…isn’t he sad?
But then Zhou Mian didn’t speak, just lowered his head and continued to eat.
Cecil raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn’t mention it again.
After the two were full, they went back to the house. Cecil switched on the autopilot, lying on the driver’s seat with his hands on his head, and listened to a song leisurely.
Zhou Mian sat in the co-pilot, thinking a lot.
The aircraft traveled for a while, and Zhou Mian suddenly said, “Admiral, open your terminal.”
Zhou Mian took a deep breath, opened the terminal and entered the absolutely encrypted file area. After typing the password several times, the secret information was opened. .
It was too dangerous to carry a piece of hardware, so Zhou Mian destroyed the USB flash drive his father gave him and stored it in his terminal.
“I will send the information collected by the Zhou family to the admiral.”
Zhou Mian decided to trust Cecil once and take a gamble.
Bet on what they’ve learned about each other on the battlefield over four years.
Zhou Mian smiled and said: “It’s a pleasure to cooperate, Admiral.”
“It’s a pleasure and honour.” Cecil was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and said, “Leave it to me, I don’t believe they can’t be pulled down.
The Glacier Royal Family and the Zerg colluded to smuggle drugs, which harmed not only the Glacier system, but all of humankind. The enemies of mankind are not each other, but the Zerg.
After returning, Cecil got Zhou Mian’s terminal information, and then quickly went to find more information and evidence with his hands and feet and the people of the 12th Corps.
Since the royal family knew that the information was leaked and leaked into Zhou Mian’s hands, they began to destroy the evidence in full swing, but no matter how much it was destroyed, what happened will definitely leave traces. Cecil caught these small traces.
With Cecil and his personal escort and shadow guards, the Twelfth Army, intervening, Zhou Mian believed that it would be no problem to find a few leaders and suppress them for the truth.
As for whether or not the real leader behind the scenes can be caught…this will have to be done slowly.
When Zhou Mian was about to wash up, he passed by Xiaole’s room again.
It was still the shredded broken piano sound.
Zhou Mian gently pushed open the door.
“Xiao Le, good evening. What are you doing?”
Xiaole’s eyes widened, he jumped off the piano chair defensively, and hid in a corner of the room. The slender body was nestled by the window, and he pulled the curtains desperately trying to hide himself.
Zhou Mian ignored Xiaole, just sat in front of the piano and put his fingers on the keyboard.
He smiled, closed his eyes and started to play the tune.
Zhou Mian could feel the spiritual power slowly flowing to his fingertips with his control, and finally drifted away through the song.
The song is very slow, like the moonlight illuminating every corner of a dark night where you can’t even see your fingers, soft but not blinding, just quietly accompanying.
Zhou Mian could feel that the fear in the air was covered by his own mental power, and Xiaole’s original grim expression slowly loosened.
Zhou Mian didn’t leave his seat, didn’t take the initiative to talk to Xiaole, just played different songs very patiently all night.
It wasn’t until the middle of the night that Zhou Mian got up.
“Good night, Xiaole, have a good sleep.” Zhou Mian waved and left the room.
To be honest, he didn’t feel tired at all. First, he felt sorry for Xiaole, and secondly… Zhou Mian also liked the piano very much.
“The last piece is very beautiful.”
The housekeeper who was guarding outside praised: “It turns out that the young master is so good at musical instruments.”
Zhou Mian smiled and said, “I created it myself, and the piece is called Moonlight.”
“Moonlight…? Very good .Poetic, how did you come up with this song?”
“I forgot.” Zhou Mian rubbed his chin and thought for a moment before saying, “I created it when I was a child, it seems to be a song given to someone… My fingers remember the notes, but my mind can’t remember who it is for.”
“It’s very romantic.” The housekeeper shook his head.
The housekeeper asked so casually, which made Zhou Mian also think a bit.
However, until lying in bed, Zhou Mian couldn’t remember who the song was composed for.
In fact, Zhou Mian has never given up searching for the origin of this song in his broken memories, but it is still fruitless.
‘It seems that it happened when I was very young… The other party…is a big brother, right?’
A special, especially gentle and powerful older brother.
Anyway, it’s all old stuff.
Ohlala…. I smell childhood history between our two general~😁
The older brother would probably be Cecil
Thank you for the chapter<3
Yes but their past isn’t very sweet or carefree!
Oh no 😢
How modest you are Cecil ~ I had a feeling that our ZM played Beethoven’s ‘Moonlight sonata’, so I picked it as a background for reading this chapter ^^ And for sure there is a story between our CP from childhood days~
Thank You for the new chapter (˘︶˘).｡.:*♡
OMG!! Now I cant read this anymore without Moonlight Sonata ringing in my ears! Thanks for helping me imagine the scene better though!(^‿^)
Thank you for the update ❤️💯
Oh, date and love

Cliché but i love it (˘︶˘).｡*♡
Thank you for the update.
I really do appreciate what you do and I know how hard it is to make sense from Chinese to English translation, but it looks like you need an editor as some sentences don’t quite flow smoothly. I’m sorry. I don’t know how gently I could say this. T T
But I really do appreciate your efforts, don’t get me wrong ❤❤❤
Thank you.
