Chapter 18 Surprise?
Xu Xinghe stayed in the third hospital of the military for two days, and all the physical indicators have returned to normal.
So on the afternoon of the third day, he finally got his wish and was discharged from the hospital.
Because there was a meeting to be held, Ling Changfeng sent Qin Yuan over to take him out of the hospital.
"Do you want to go directly to the Marshal's Mansion?" Qin Yuan was surprised to Xu Xinghe, "I thought you were going to find a friend for hot pot first."
Xu Xinghe shook his head: "Everyone has something to do today, I'll go back and see Xiaoqi first."
Qin Yuan asked, "Xiao Qi?"
"My cat." Xu Xinghe explained, "I haven't seen it for three days. I miss it, and I'm a little worried about it. I have to go back and have a look."
Qin Yuan: "..." It really wasn't the reason he thought.
"Then I'll take you home first." Qin Yuan chatted with Xu Xinghe while instructing people to drive, "I said, I saw another long-haired cat hair on the marshal yesterday. .I asked him if he had another cat, and he actually replied 'um' to me."
"What?" Xu Xinghe suddenly became alert, "That's my cat! How did he keep it?"
Qin Yuan: "...that's not the point, the point is that he raised a cat for you."
Xu Xinghe: "So why did he keep my cat?"
Qin Yuan looked at him with a complicated expression, "Did you think he liked your cat?"
Xu Xinghe pouted: "It's useless to look at, is it possible that he can still grab it? And doesn't Marshal Ling have a cat himself? Aaron looks so good-looking, what else is he not satisfied with?"
Qin Yuan: "..."
The brain circuits of these two people, in a sense, are quite a match.
Qin Yuan didn't say anything, and happily sent Xu Xinghe back to his home.
Back at the Marshal's Mansion, Xu Xinghe went straight to his room on the second floor.
In the end, Xiao Qi was not there.
"Where's my cat?" he asked the orderly beside him.
The steward He Han came over and said, "Your cat is in the cat room on the east side of the third floor."
Hearing this, Qin Yuan asked in surprise, "Did you keep it with aaron?"
He Han nodded: "They are together, but..."
"What!?" Xu Xinghe groaned in his heart.
Qin Yuan also frowned.
Cats are solitary animals with strong territorial awareness. When two cats meet for the first time, they can easily fight.
Therefore, if two cats are raised in the same family, they should be isolated for a period of time, and they can only meet when they gradually become familiar with each other's taste.
What's more, the cat man, aaron, is not very good-tempered. He likes to show his claws when he disagrees.
Before, I brought my Labrador dog to visit the Marshal's Mansion, and I was almost not disturbed by aaron.
How can two cats be raised directly together? The people in the Marshal's Mansion can't be so disrespectful, right?
He Han stopped for a while, and his expression became a little difficult to say: "This, you can see for yourself, they..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Xinghe had already disappeared with a "whoosh" sound.
Qin Yuan blinked behind him, hooked his two little fingers together, and asked He Han, "Is that the reason I thought?"
He Han nodded.
"Wow~" Qin Yuan whistled and walked slowly towards the third floor.
Xu Xinghe trotted all the way to the third floor and pushed open the door of the cat room.
At a glance, saw the fluffy Miss Qi, lying comfortably on the ground, holding a small fish in her arms and nibbling.
In front of Xiao Qi, all kinds of cat snacks piled up into a hill.
Not far away, aaron came over with his beloved dried fish in his mouth, and then silently placed the dried fish gently in front of Xiao Qi.
I didn't eat it myself, I just watched Xiao Qi eat quietly.
Xu Xinghe: "..."
This is not the most speechless, the most speechless is that the tails of these two cats are actually hooked together!
Major General Qin Yuan, who followed along to watch the fun, was also dumbfounded.
Is this still the cat raised by Changfeng who doesn't lose the fight against dogs and protects food better than dogs! ?
When you meet a little female cat, you change sex like this? ?
Xu Xinghe licked his back teeth and asked, "When did they start?"
He Han lowered his head in shame: "I don't know that. At first, we were worried that the two cats would meet and fight, so they were fed separately. Until yesterday morning, someone saw aaron holding his favorite dried fish. At the door of Xiao Qi's room, and then Xiao Qi began to scratch the door meow..."
Xu Xinghe said with a gloomy expression: "Is your marshal's cat neutered?"
He Han was stunned for a while: "No, aaron is a very breed cat, so I don't usually consider sterilization."
Xu Xinghe: "..."
He ran over and hugged Xiao Qi.
"Meow?" Xiao Qi's sapphire-like eyes lit up when she saw the master came back.
Immediately, Xiaoyu didn't want any more, and his two claws hooked Xu Xinghe's neck at once, and rubbed his neck affectionately.
Xu Xinghe: "..."
He originally wanted to tell Xiao Qi to stay away from the male cat and not be blinded by the food. But Xiao Qi was so softly attached to his chest, so that he couldn't say anything.
Qin Yuan sighed aside: "Your cat has a good temper."
Xu Xinghe raised his chin: "Of course, our little seven has the best temper in the world.
So it must not be easily arched!
Thinking of this, Xu Xinghe looked down at Aaron again.
The Persian cat with different pupils squatted upright on the spot, a pair of cat eyes with blue and gold like Marshal Ling staring intently at him... Xiao Qi in his arms.
Xiao Qi seemed to sense the other's gaze, and shyly covered his face with his fluffy tail.
Xu Xinghe: "..."
Haha, can't laugh.
Originally, he looked at aaron from the perspective of a cat lover, and thought that it was good everywhere, with smooth and smooth fur, strong and strong limbs, and it could be said that it was of excellent appearance.
But looking at this Persian cat now, only feel that it has a dangerous aura all over it.
And Xiaoqi is soft and cowardly, what if he is bullied with him?
"I'll take Xiao Qi back to my room to raise him." Xu Xinghe said to He Han.
He thought that Ling Changfeng was rushing to raise him because he had a crush on Xiao Qi. After a long time, he wanted to get a wife for his cat?
Think beautifully!
After returning to the room to settle Xiao Qi, it was time for dinner in a blink of an eye.
Xu Xinghe asked Qin Yuan, "Are you staying for dinner?"
Qin Yuan waved his hand: "No, the marshal is about to finish the meeting, I have to go back. You have just been discharged from the hospital, so you should rest early after eating."
Xu Xinghe nodded and remembered another thing: "By the way, what was the 'surprise' you said in the hospital last time?"
"Tsk, I wanted to tell you a few days ago, but since you asked directly—" Qin Yuan smiled mysteriously, "Gamma Galaxy's joining day is approaching, and the annual state banquet will be held at Capital Star again. ."
Xu Xinghe: "State banquet?"
Born in the capital star, he knew the tradition of holding a state banquet on the day of joining the alliance.
At this time every year, the alliance government of the Gamma Galaxy invites important people from all walks of life, as well as people who have made outstanding contributions to the alliance, to a banquet and entertain them in the capital Furui Palace.
At that time, hundreds of people gathered together, and the scene was grand and extraordinary.
This state banquet has gradually evolved from an initial reception dinner into a feast that lasted for several hours, and even derived forms such as red carpets and dance parties. It is an annual feast that the media are eager to report.
"What does this have to do with me?" Xu Xinghe asked.
Qin Yuan replied: "Marshal Ling used to sit in the Eastern Battlefield, and he directly rejected the invitations for state banquets. But this year is different. This year he returned to the capital, so I suggest him to show face for such important social occasions. , attend."
"So what?" Xu Xinghe was still confused.
Qin Yuan said: "So, you have to attend Egypt too"
"Ah!?" Xu Xinghe was stunned, "Why, why?"
Qin Yuan took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Because you are the legal spouse of the marshal now, he is required to bring his family members to attend."
Xu Xinghe: "..."
He was speechless for a long time, and asked tangled: "This, can you not go?"
Qin Yuan's expression was more troubled than his: "Why? That's a state banquet.
Xu Xinghe: "I'm not in that circle, I don't know anyone, and I don't want to go to social, so why go?"
"Just because of this? Are there any other concerns?" Qin Yuan asked.
Xu Xinghe thought for a while and replied, "I can't talk about worries, I just don't want to go. What, will it cause any trouble to you?"
Qin Yuan sighed: "To be honest, it will be a bit. But everything is based on your wishes. If you really don't want to go, it doesn't matter. It's just Changfeng..."
Qin Yuan paused for a while, and didn't say any more, but changed the conversation: "The media's explanation work may be a little troublesome at that time, and the lace news will fly all over the sky again."
Xu Xinghe: "..."
Qin Yuan's words reminded him that Mu Qingyun was also invited to attend last year's state banquet - alone.
Obviously, General Mu's face is not thick enough to dare to take Mi Lu to the state banquet during the marriage, but he also did not bring himself.
How the Mu family explained this, Xu Xinghe didn't know, he only remembered that night, he seemed to be working overtime in Ark.
If I don't attend this time, some media will probably spread some inconspicuous reports again...
He wasn't afraid of being told, but he would be annoyed by too many gossips around him.
Xu Xinghe thought about it and said, "It's not that I can't go, so what preparations should I do?"
"No, no, it's fine when someone arrives." Qin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he heard him relax. He clasped his fists to Xu Xinghe and said, "Don't say thank you, our marshal will ask you."
Xu Xinghe: "?"
"By the way, can you dance ballroom dancing?" Qin Yuan asked.
Xu Xinghe was stunned for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, you have to be able to dance when you go to a banquet?"
Qin Yuan said, "What if someone invites you?"
Xu Xinghe asked back, "Who would invite me?"
Qin Yuan: "..."
He looked at Xu Xinghe silently, with a "what did you say" expression on his face.
Only then did Xu Xinghe remember that he still had a legal husband, but——
"You said Marshal Ling? How could it be 1
This option has been kicked out of his mind instinctively, that scene, just thinking about it, gives people goosebumps all over!
Qin Yuan said: "Why is it impossible? Yesterday I tried to ask a dance teacher to teach some basic movements, but he didn't refuse - the documents to be approved were piled up.
Xu Xinghe: "..."
Qin Yuan waved his hand: "Forget it, let's not talk about this for now, as long as you are willing to attend, these are all minor issues. Then let's settle the matter first? I'll find someone to measure the size and make a dress for you in a few days. I also invite a dance teacher to teach you, do you think it's okay?"
"It's okay to measure clothes, but you don't need to learn to dance? Will your marshal really invite me to dance?" Xu Xinghe was deeply skeptical. "And—" he finally realized with hindsight, "you call this a 'surprise'??"
Qin Yuan said: "Otherwise? Go to the state banquet! If you say it, you can blow it for a lifetime.
Xu Xinghe had a not very surprised expression on his face.
"Don't be like this, look forward to it." Qin Yuan winked at him and smiled: "Maybe there will be a surprise that day."
