Face-Slapping the Interstellar General and His Ger (7.1)
Editor: ghost
While Zhou Xu waited, he again carefully sorted out his present memories. The more he sorted, the more he was convinced that he was intentionally placed into this system by someone.
By the time he finished sorting his memories, hurried footsteps could be heard along the corridor. Zhou Xu smiled; it was time for a show.
Zhou Xu turned and went to a hidden corner of the kitchen, taking out Sun Qingxia’s light speed laser gun.
Even if an accident occurred, Zhou Xu was not afraid. Soldiers were not permitted to have a firearm with them when they went out. Having a weapon with him was to guard against unarmed personnel. Of course, he was not going to cause trouble; he only wanted to watch a show.
The door was unable to be opened. Zhou Xu heard Wu Mingdi speak, “Move aside, I’ll do it.”
A loud bang ensued. The door was kicked open and Wu Mingdi and Ding Zhaolin entered.
“Ding Zhaolin, I’m telling you, if you are slandering her, I definitely will not let you off.”
“Mingdi, believe me. She really has bad intentions. She even prepared a gun to kill you.”
“Then what about Zhou Xu? Unless I saw it myself, how could I believe that a woman could tie up a senior colonel?”
“Zhou Xu is in that storeroom. Mingdi, I don’t have the key; I can only let you kick the door open.”
“Where? This storeroom? Move aside, I’ll kick it open.”
“Bang.”
Zhou Xu was in the corner of the room and was getting more and more unhappy with Ding Zhaolin. That storeroom was pitifully small and the door opened outwards. In other words, if Wu Mingdi kicked the door from outside, there was a 100% chance that anyone inside would get injured. However, Ding Zhaolin unexpectedly let Wu Mingdi kick the door without any hesitation. He really did not think of Zhou Xu as a person at all.
The door was kicked open. The small storeroom did not even reach a square metre in size. Things were strewn about; brooms, mops and old boxes made a mess of the room. There was supposed to be a tied up person, but at present, other than the mess of things in the room, there was no one.
Ding Zhaolin froze. Wu Mingdi flared up.
“Where is Zhou Xu?!”
“He&#k2026;he&#k2026; When Sun Qingxia threatened me today, he was clearly here&#k2026; Mingdi, you need to believe me. It must be Sun Qingxia’s scheme&#k2026; She definitely knew that I would go find you so she intentionally let Zhou Xu go.”
“Pa!”
It was a loud and crisp sound. Ding Zhaolin was in a daze. His face felt an intense pain and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
“I’ve said it before. If you dare slander her, I definitely would not let you off.” Wu Mingdi’s tone was filled with anger. He was like an enraged ox, ready to attack the powerless Ding Zhaolin at any moment.
Ding Zhaolin’s heart turned cold. He understood that this was the man that the empire paired him with. He had no power to reject; he was a Ger and a Ger’s duties were to give birth, give birth and give birth.
A marriage between a man and a Ger was strongly protected by the empire. Unless there was a special reason, he would forever be unable to leave Wu Mingdi. Was the rest of his life going to be just like this?
Tears would not stop running down his face. Ding Zhaolin tried to pull on Wu Mingdi’s hand, but he was fiercely shaken off.
“Mingdi, I didn’t slander her. She really intended to harm you. If you don’t believe me, you can search her bedroom. I know she bought a gun and a knife to kill you.”
“I! Won’t! Search!” Wu Mingdi roared. His eyes were bloodshot. He was losing all hope for Ding Zhaolin. Even now, why did he still want to slander his younger sister? How much did he hate Sun Qingxia? “Ding Zhaolin, I will plainly tell you the truth. I hate you and only feel disgust when I see you. I don’t need children. Qingxia is enough for me.”
Ding Zhaolin did not understand how the matter had developed to this point. Clearly, it should have gone the way he hoped. This wouldn’t do. Ding Zhaolin slowly stood up. He must put in more effort and work harder.
In Wu Mingdi’s rage, Ding Zhaolin pushed open the door to Sun Qingxia’s room. He found some permitted weapons and placed them in front of Wu Mingdi. He spoke, “Mingdi, look. These were all secretly bought by Sun Qingxia to kill you.”
Wu Mingdi looked at everything in front of him and coldly laughed, “Hehe. I let Qingxia buy whatever she likes. I wouldn’t care even if she wanted to buy a light speed laser gun. Moreover, who knows if this is just something you prepared beforehand to slander her. Ding Zhaolin, you’re so painstakingly trying to slander her; I really can’t forgive you.”
Ding Zhaolin was stunned. He lifted his head, “What do you mean?”
“This is what I mean!” The raging Wu Mingdi kicked Ding Zhaolin in the chest, “Scram. I don’t want to ever see you again and you are forbidden from my home. I will think of a way to dissolve our marriage. I will marry Qingxia and live a happy life with her. As for you, such a despicable vile person, why don’t you go find a place to quickly die? It’s nothing if you harmed me, but I never thought that you would try again and again to harm the person I like. Once was enough, but you unexpectedly tried it a second and third time. For Qingxia, I can no longer tolerate you. Scram, scram!”
Holding onto his chest, fresh blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Ding Zhaolin’s face was covered in tears, “Mingdi.. I, where could I possibly go…”
“Scram!”
Ding Zhaolin finally walked off with misty, tearful eyes. In the pitch black city, he felt extremely lonely. He thought of his childhood; he and Zhou Xu were both so joyful. Both of them said that they would awaken to be Gers, give birth together and bring their children out to play together. But, reality?
He indeed awakened to be a Ger and was even proud of it. A few months later, Zhou Xu also awakened. Only, he pitifully awakened as a Di-er.
Di-ers were the most inferior existence in this world. Simply being able to support themselves was already not bad.
At that point, Ding Zhaolin was actually very happy; he finally had a point that was better than Zhou Xu. However, within ten years, not only had the gap between them not shrunk, it unexpectedly grew.
Zhou Xu became a senior colonel and was pretty much a legend in the army. What about himself?
Indeed, he got married, but what happened afterwards?
Ding Zhaolin bitterly smiled. There wasn’t anything afterwards.
Life seemed to particularly like playing pranks on him. At present, the joke seemed too extreme, to the point where Ding Zhaolin could not take it anymore.
He had always been a sensible child . He was an obedient kid in others’ eyes. Even after marriage, he was a figure of admiration for others; his marriage partner was a colonel of the empire. However, whose life wasn’t only known best by the person himself?
Ding Zhaolin’s life was, in reality, just as cold as the south pole.
Since this was the case, why did he still want to bear with it patiently? Did he want to bear it for his whole life? There would hardly be any meaning to living. He should just die.
No. Ding Zhaolin clenched both his fists. He could not die just yet. He could accept not being married and having children and could accept a life without people’s admiration. But before he died, he must make Wu Mingdi hit rock bottom. Right, there was also Zhou Xu. How dare he have everything. He is a Di-er; how could he become a soldier, a senior colonel?
Twenty years of patient forbearance burst into a twisted hatred within a night. Ding Zhaolin held his chest and walked alone along the night lights. He walked lightly, like a lonely ghost spirit.
After Ding Zhaolin left, Wu Mingdi’s rage still had not abated. He roared and kicked the tea table next to him. He still wanted to vent and kicked the trash can beside the table, as well as a few stools before calming down.
Zhou Xu was still hidden. He felt that this play was not satisfying enough. It would be more gratifying if Sun Qingxia was present.
As for Ding Zhaolin, his world did not have friends, only people he could use and people he could not. Even Wu Mingdi was just someone he could use. Zhou Xu did not believe that he really liked Wu Mingdi. If he truly did, why would he need to hatch so many plans?
Someone once said miserable people must have something detestable about them. This saying has some truth in it.
This could also apply to Sun Qingxia. A stupid woman full of contradictions would pay a price for her stupidity in the end.
After Wu Mingdi calmed down, he silently sat down for about ten minutes before leaving.
Zhou Xu came out of hiding and put the light speed laser gun back where it was originally in Sun Qingxia’s room. He tidied up and prepared to leave.
Just as Zhou Xu was about to leave, some voices could be heard from the corridor. One of the voices was Wu Mingdi’s, but the other two were unfamiliar.
Zhou Xu hid again; he did not want to bump into Wu Mingdi.
“Is it this door?” An unfamiliar voice sounded.
“Yes, I kicked it and it broke. How long do you need to fix it?”
“Hold on, let me take a look. Oh, it’s nothing major so it will only take an hour. I just need to take out the screws, repair the door frame and then put the screws back in.”
“Okay, thank you. I’ll pay double the fee.”
Zhou Xu thought, seems like Wu Mingdi found people to repair the door; he was quite thoughtful.
Hold on, if he trusted Sun Qingxia, why was he so impatient to find people to repair the door the same night?
Hehe, Zhou Xu really wanted to laugh. Really, like husband, like wife. Ding Zhaolin could easily betray his friends and did not care about their safety while Wu Mingdi was a credulous person who suffered from paranoia. In other words, in the end he was still suspicious and wanted to sound out Sun Qingxia.
The workers were busy at the door. Wu Mingdi arranged the tables and chairs to their original positions. Afterwards, he went downstairs to buy some alcohol and sat to the side, drinking it one cup after another.
