DPM Chapter 91-Sweet Sailing Part 1
Translated by Snowfall77
Reassured and keeping his hands mostly to himself, Mozun gave Wu Xingyun one more deep kiss, then spoke huskily: “Good. Let’s go home.”
Wu Xingyun nodded: “I’ll go take my leave of Wen Nuo.”
His face instantly going dark, Mozun tightly pulled at Wu Xingyun’s hand: “Haven’t you already seen enough of him just now?”
Giving Mozun a helpless look, Wu Xingyun replied: “I haven’t seen him in ten years and I’m already leaving. Saying goodbye shouldn’t be too much. Besides, he was about to tell me what’s happened since I’ve gone, and I want to know what’s been going on……”
That only made Mozun more displeased: “Don’t go! From now on, you……have to stay with me forever!”
Wu Xingyun shot Mozun an exasperated glance and headed down off the rooftop, obliged to put up with Mozun trailing right on his heels, forcefully declaring: “I’ll give you ten minutes. From the beginning, I’ve always known that guy’s been after you. And, oh, I remember now, when we were getting married, when I didn’t know who you were, you’d always talk about your ‘Company Commander’ and get misty-eyed……you’d blab on about him all besotted. No! You only get five minutes!”
Stopping and raising his head to look Mozun in the eye, Wu Xingyun said: “Hmmm, if not for Wen Nuo’s strict training of me as a
soldier, I would’ve died as soon as I arrived in the last days. I never would have been able to meet some young man who hugged my thigh and begged me not to leave him behind.”
Embarrassed a tiny bit, Mozun rubbed his nose: “Then……wrap it up as quickly as possible. I’ll wait for you outside, anyways……I’ve waited this long for you, I can wait a few more minutes.”
Wu Xingyun and Mozun walked side by side to the stairs, only to see Wen Nuo positioned at the top stair.
Mozun eyed Wen Nuo: “Wu Xingyun says……he wants a few words with you, so……make it fast.” Next Mozun turned, walking away a few steps, and even making a show of covering his ears for Wu Xingyun’s benefit.
Watching Mozun’s graceful exit, Wu Xingyun slightly shook his head, an affectionate smile on his face.
Wen Nuo stood in front of Wu Xingyun, observing the soldier’s expressions.
The unabashed indulgence, the fondness, aimed towards Mozun from the soldier before him pierced Wen Nuo through the heart.
“You love him very much?” Wen Nuo asked.
“Yes. I……will be together with him from now on. But I wanted to talk to you.” Wu Xingyun met Wen Nuo’s gaze. “I still want to know what’s been happening while I was gone.”
Wen Nuo didn’t answer right away, but just stared at Wu Xingyun. Finally he said: “You, your appearance has hardly changed……You haven’t been simply drifting through the cosmos, have you?”
Giving a little grunt, it was Wu Xingyun’s turn to be quiet for a moment. Then he asked: “The fighting continues? The Federation and the Alliance, are both sides fighting even now?”
Wen Nuo raised his head, looking up into the night sky, sighing: “Naturally. The Federation is in a bad state……The Night Shard has altered his tactics. He no longer treats ordinary Federal citizens the way he treats Federal officials……Apparently, he can be very merciful when he wants to be. While the Federation……has lost many bases and a great deal of land. The past twenty years, it’s been the worst the Federation has ever fared.”
Wu Xingyun couldn’t pretend to be surprised at Wen Nuo’s information. For the mutants, especially Mozun, their hostility towards the Federation was too deep-rooted. And Wu Xingyun’s death could only have exacerbated it. Still, once Mozun found out where Wu Xingyun actually came from, of course Mozun’s attitude towards ordinary Federal civilians would soften. From viewing the current Federation as tainted with the sinful blood of their forefathers, Mozun would now see it as the place where his lover had grown.
“Mozun has advanced Alliance technology to a bit above our own. He even enticed a couple of scientists away from Luoshi Research. Every day, people in the Federation fight to defend their home. What about you? What do you intend to do, Sergeant?” Wen Nuo serenely questioned. “Will you stand with the Federation, your parents, your family, your friends, or will you stand with the Night Shard?”
His heart torn, Wu Xingyun didn’t speak. He hadn’t been that naïve young soldier hellbent on killing the Night Shard for a long time.
There was too much water under the bridge. No matter what happened, he could never again be Ye Fan’s enemy.
Did that mean Wu Xingyun would help the Night Shard in his fight against the Federation?
Over two thousand years had passed. The people in the Federation today, they hadn’t been on Noah’s Ark. They weren’t the ones who’d committed the first crimes.
The Federation was no longer what it once had been.
Those forefathers had died, generations had passed. Was Wu Xingyun willing to be a traitor to his home?
Full of inner turmoil, unable to predict what the future held, Wu Xingyun shook his head: “I don’t know……”
Wen Nuo said nothing, silence between the two men stretching out.
Finally Wu Xingyun spoke again: “I’ll be leaving with Mozun. I just wanted to say goodbye to you before I left. I hope……I hope you don’t tell the Federation that I’m still alive. Please?”
“Why?” Wen Nuo asked, only to see Mozun heading back their way. Dully realizing the situation, Wen Nuo told Wu Xingyun: “The Federation has let you down……I can accept your choice, but I can’t……understand it.”
Wu Xingyun shook his head, not yet aware of Mozun standing behind him: “I simply want to reflect on everything without being disturbed. Company Commander, I’ll see you later.”
Taking the initiative, Wu Xingyun gave Wen Nuo a handshake: “You don’t need to blame yourself anymore. I’ve never blamed you. Truly, what you did back then……was what a soldier should’ve done.”
A cough came from Mozun, and Wu Xingyun turned his head to look at him.
Wen Nuo let go of Wu Xingyun’s hand, and saying not another word went directly back to his room. There, examining himself in the mirror, Wen Nuo acknowledged how much older he’d gotten.
While Wu Xingyun appeared completely unchanged. The same with Mozun. Would those two be together for eternity?
His head aching, Wen Nuo took a cold shower and then flung himself into bed.
