DPM Chapter 59-Gift Part 2
Translated by Snowfall77
After dinner, Wu Xingyun planned on taking Ye Fan to get his fingerprints registered.
By the time the two men got to Luo Ying’s new residence, it was already jam-packed. Ever since Luo Ying had initiated her divorce, she’d moved out of the three-story house she’d shared with Ouyang Yi, instead living in an apartment provided by Dai Rong.
The apartment was very small and cheap-looking, however Luo Ying didn’t care much about where she lived. Especially on the eve of departure, everyone’s attention was on ship tickets, not housing.
In the room were three scientists that Luo Ying had pilfered from Ouyang Yi, a few friends, plus Dai Rong, Lu Shi and other military personnel.
Everyone was celebrating Luo Ying’s successful divorce together.
What surprised Wu Xingyun was that this small party unexpectedly had wine!
Luo Ying laughed: “This is the last of the wine that General Dai brought. Today I thank everyone for your assistance. Cheers to the founding of Luoshi Research.”
Dai Rong drained his glass first, the others following suit.
Wu Xingyun and Ye Fan had been poured a lot. Wu Xingyun felt fine, but Ye Fan felt a bit too big for his head, and didn’t dare drink more.
Near the end of the get-together, a smiling Luo Ying came over to the two men.
“Ye Fan, thank you!” Luo Ying sincerely expressed her gratitude, “If it wasn’t for you and Yun that day, I……Wouldn’t have had the courage to take the first step.”
Taking a wrapped gift from desk drawer, Luo Ying gave it to Ye Fan: “This is from me to you, I hope you’ll like it.”
Slightly drunk, Ye Fan didn’t even say ‘thank you.’ Instead, he directly handed the gift over to Wu Xingyun, saying: “Yun, you hold onto it for me.”
Luo Ying, somewhat disappointed, asked: “You aren’t going to open it and take a look?”
Turning his head, Ye Fan glanced at Wu Xingyun for his feedback. Wu Xingyun handed the box back over to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan unwrapped it.
In a small wooden box, two golden medallions quietly lay.
Ye Fan’s name was engraved on one, and Wu Xingyun’s on the other.
Luo Ying had given them both ship tickets!
Sobering up a bit, Ye Fan knew Luo Ying had no blood relations. She’d already violated the rules by taking eight assistants, and now, she could actually get Wu Xingyun and himself tickets too?!
Also startled, Wu Xingyun asked: “Luo Ying, you……How did you get them?”
Still smiling, Luo Ying answered: “I asked General Dai to get them. I didn’t know Yun already had one until I registered them, but his ticket level……So I helped him get it replaced with this one. This was the best ticket level I could get for you. In space, the resources and supplies will be scarce, but you have a higher allocation now. So, you can have a suite for two people.”
Wu Xingyun picked up his medallion, looked at it closer, and then at Ye Fan’s, pleasantly surprised.
He thoroughly understood what Luo Ying meant.
Dai Rong, or Luo Ying, with their level they would get a room to themselves.
But ordinary scientists and officials, they were allotted two-person rooms.
Common soldiers, like Wu Xingyun and Ye Fan, were integrated eight to a room, even male and female.
The ship ticket Ye Fan had gifted Wu Xingyun, as well the one Wu Xingyun had bartered for, were for that type of cabin.
A little distrustful and uneasy in his heart, Wu Xingyun worried that Luo Ying would get in trouble for these tickets.
Luo Ying reassured them: “I didn’t expect it either, I just spoke to Dai Rong. I claimed that if you guys’ life wasn’t good, it’d affect my mood. And if I have a bad mood, that’ll negatively affect my research. So he actually got those for you. I hear the tickets were taken from Ouyang Yi’s quota, and there was almost a fight.”
In an instant, Wu Xingyun’s and Ye Fan’s small anxieties disappeared.
Wu Xingyun put the box in his coat pocket.
Since the Earth remained in darkness, everyone relied on the hands of the clock to judge the time.
Therefore, when the clock struck ten, the gathering dispersed. Having drank a little too much wine, Ye Fan’s head was dizzy. For after he learned he’d be sharing a room with Wu Xingyun in the future, he’d imbibed even more.
When the two men said their goodbyes to Luo Ying, she smiled and said to Ye Fan: “There’s one more gift for you, in the lining of the box. It’s for you both. Wait till you go out.”
His brain confused, Ye Fan went “oh,” and took his leave alongside Wu Xingyun.
Ye Fan slightly staggered as he walked. Wu Xingyun tried to lend a supporting hand, until finally letting Ye Fan climb on his shoulders.
Probably because he was intoxicated, Ye Fan hugged Wu Xingyun’s neck as they went. With his head pillowed on Wu Xingyun’s shoulders, Ye Fan kept kissing Wu Xingyun’s face. The two ran into acquaintances along the way, and Wu Xingyun would explain: “He’s drunk.”
Striding down a deserted passageway, Wu Xingyun’s cell phone rang. It was the scientist who planned to buy the curvilinear theory formula. Of course, the scientist couldn’t help being deeply interested in the formula, and when he heard Wu Xingyun say he’d changed his mind about selling it, the scientist lost it: “We physicists are the masters of the universe! Stupid humans!”
Laughing, Wu Xingyun hung up the phone. Next he and Ye Fan took out their new medallions, looking at them together, both inwardly excited.
The ship ticket business was basically an open secret. Recently, rumors were spreading all over the base, even causing a riot. However, their two tickets could be considered a definite guarantee.
After they’d pondered their medallions for a moment under a street lamp, Ye Fan recalled Luo Ying’s words before they’d left. He said: “I don’t know what else Luo Ying put in the box. What was it? Take it out and have a look?”
Ye Fan reached into Wu Xingyun’s coat pocket and took out the small black box. Still tipsy, Ye Fan couldn’t figure out the lining of the box, so he simply swatted the box with the palm of his hand.
Then, a square plastic-wrapped object started falling to the ground. Wu Xingyun reached out a hand, caught it, and glanced at it. His whole face immediately turning bright red, Wu Xingyun grasped it tight, strategically stuffing it in a pants pocket.
Grinning, Ye Fan asked: “What is it? Why won’t you let me see it?”
“It’s nothing,” Wu Xingyun answered, “Luo Ying was joking around.”
Ye Fan merely went “Mmm,” and they continued on towards the dormitory. When they went by the base lavatory, Ye Fan suddenly said: “I drank too much wine, I wanna go to the bathroom.”
""Unsuspecting, Wu Xingyun replied: “Alright, I’ll wait for you outside……”
Ye Fan stumbled, and Wu Xingyun quickly held onto the younger man, going along with him into the lavatory.
Unexpectedly, the second Wu Xingyun stepped onto the ceramic tiled floor, Ye Fan picked up the ‘cleaning in progress’ sign, hung it on the outside of the door, and then locked the door from within.
Wu Xingyun’s heart promptly became a little panicky, vaguely guessing what Ye Fan wanted to do. “Ye Fan, you’re drunk!”
“Hmmm,” Ye Fan nodded, “If I wasn’t drunk, I wouldn’t dare interrogate you……”
Saying that, Ye Fan grabbed Wu Xingyun, dragging the soldier into a toilet cubicle.
Staff had just cleaned the lavatory. Everything was gleaming, even the white enamel toilet lid was spotless.
“Say it. What the hell did Luo Ying give?” Ye Fan’s back was up against the cubicle door, blocking it, the corners of his mouth curving up.
“Nothing,” said Wu Xingyun. However, apparently that wasn’t enough to dissuade the drunk man before him, so Wu Xingyun added: “Someone will come.”
Raising his eyebrows, Ye Fan leaned closer to Wu Xingyun, his voice turned hoarse: “Don’t you forget, I’m a hidden mutant! My perception is very acute, is there anyone I need to look out for……”
As Ye Fan spoke, he advanced towards Wu Xingyun, closing in. Finally, Wu Xingyun was forced against the wall.
“So, stop trying to hide it. I already saw it clearly before. If you don’t want to take it out, do you want me to body search you?”
Ye Fan’s whole body overwhelmed Wu Xingyun, the faint tinge of wine pervaded the air, and Ye Fan’s voice was traced with imperiousness: “Don’t think that because I don’t live in the same dormitory as you, it means I can’t have you. If you don’t take that thing out, I’ll just……take you right here……”
