Yang Xi looked at the caller ID and hesitated for a while before pressing the answer button.

"Commander," Duda called out, "Can you talk?"

Yang Xi paused for a full second before saying, "I'm in the dormitory."

Duda hung up the phone, walked upstairs step by step, and knocked on Yang Xi's door.

Yang Xi was still wearing a military uniform, stroked her hair and went to open the door. She saw Du Da's uneasy, and felt a little unbearable, and suddenly remembered her youthfulness ten years ago.

"Commander, after I came back, I haven't found the opportunity to talk to you... Have you had a meal?" Duda weaved his speech in his heart, and his weakness of poor eloquence was fully exposed.

"Eat, sit down." Yang Xi sat on the single sofa with a blue face, and took out a candy box from under the coffee table, which was filled with fruit candy brought by the earth.

Seeing that Yang Xi took out the candy, Du Da felt much more relaxed and said, "Commander, it might have been..."

"I'm losing my composure." Yang Xi said lightly, "What you said makes sense. Using the army to promote your own will is a mistake. So I sincerely wish you better and further on your own path."

Du Da thought to himself: What does this cliché mean? Tell me not to get close to it, and I will go on business in the future?

"However," Yang Xi emphasized, "Don't just think I support you. The Moon Base is a team, and there are many people in the team. Everyone hopes to use their beliefs to lead everyone home safely. You said we - O'Neil, Polodin, and your classmate, are we really for that authority? For what interests? I don't see it. I never thought of getting promoted and getting rich when I was in the army!"

"That's..." Du Da saw Yang Xi willing to talk openly. Although he was very official, it was like a heartfelt word, so he was no longer nervous.

"Why sometimes I can't give in? Because I can't give in! Everyone has ideas and thinks that their ideas are the most correct. Who should I listen to? I gave in today, can I give in tomorrow? Every time I give in, it is to encourage other people's ideas! I frankly say that I definitely cannot accept some ideas, which are related to honor and faith, and there is no room for discussion." Yang Xi finished speaking in one breath, grabbed the cup on the coffee table and took a sip. Seeing that Du Da was still empty, he instinctively walked over and poured him a glass of water.

Du Da thanked Yang Xi and recalled Yang Xi's words in his heart. He was not completely unfair about Jiang Baihong's secret trampling on him, but to say how sinister this old classmate is, it is definitely not. After all, it is still a question of "thoughts". In terms of subjective value judgment, who can prove that other people's ideas are garbage? In fact, everyone regards alien ideas as garbage.

"But," Yang Xi made another twist, "It's even worse to break up like you!"

Du Da couldn't help but smile bitterly. What should I do if I don't break up? Wait for the next time to disobey the order? Or ask Yang Xi to give up his position? He suddenly thought of Gu Shaochao, and always thought that he was an ambitious man. In fact, what image did he look like in the eyes of others? Moreover, Gu Shaochao attacked Yang Xi unruly and did not do anything to directly disobey the military order.

"What does it mean to work together? Everyone on the same boat is already annoyed enough to be a captain! You are so good, if you can't be a captain, you just want to split the boat? The whole world is circling around you? You are right! You have come here like this when you grow up so old? It's really hard for your parents, teachers and classmates!" Yang Xi finished spraying in one breath and took a few more sips of water, "Okay, I'm so angry, tell me the purpose of you coming to me."

Duda thought to himself: So you are just venting your anger? This is too...well, let you vent your anger. Everyone is a little annoyed recently, and women should be tolerated during those days of each month.

"Commander," Du Da smiled, "It is not good for you to stay in the army. A soldier who does not obey orders, you always protect and let outsiders laugh at it, right? I withdraw now, but it does not mean that I oppose the army! If you have any orders, I will implement them firmly!"

"Stop coming!" Yang Xi said, "You mean that the army actually wants you to order! Don't even think about it! We have a space fleet!"

"I do some jobs faster." Du Da heard Yang Xi's looseness and smiled, "Commander, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle, while a wooden pestle can only be ground into a toothpick. Look at me, I'm useless, and I don't look like a soldier when I wear a military uniform. Now it's not hindering the organization and being self-reliant, can you support it? I'm still recruited by you!"

The recruitment work in the army is very particular. The "old squad leader" is not just a military position, but also a relationship of identity. Just like a teacher and a student, a supervisor and a graduate student, a leader and a secretary... This identity identifies a deeper connection than others. Du Da actually did not have a deep understanding, but he often heard people in the flying company say "XXX is my old squad leader" and "XXXXX is the soldier I led"... If you listen too much, you will naturally appreciate the humanistic connotation.

Yang Xi is a standard military template, and he values ​​this more than Duda. After hearing what Duda said, the resentment in his heart completely disappeared. She leaned forward, grabbed a piece of candy, and held it in her hand and said, "Duda, as a soldier, I have the obligation to protect everyone here; as a Chinese soldier, I have the obligation to keep the red flag never falling. I have the awareness of sacrificing for this. Originally, I hoped that you could grow into my assistant and sooner or later realize your mission, but now it seems unrealistic."

The word "mission" struck Duda's mind.

It’s not that he has thought about his mission.

Once upon a time, Du Da, a passionate intellectual young man, believed that promoting the rule of law, establishing legal beliefs, and pointing out the ideological direction for his comrades on the judicial front... is his mission. For this reason, he must work hard to study, master's degree, doctoral degree, and saint's degree, then assistant professors, lecturers, associate professors, professors evaluate professional titles layer by layer. Finally, master's supervisor, doctoral supervisor, standing committee consultant... truly spread his thoughts!

If reality is as full as ideals, then Duda may never encounter Yang Xi in his life, and the moon will continue to hang in the sky.

What is my mission now? Promote your ideal? What is your ideal? Take everyone home? How can I enter that mysterious portal without the corpse of the lunar human?

"Actually..." Two figures of people appeared in Duda's mind, Yurei and Obi-Wan Kenobi. The two guardian masters suddenly broke into his mind, which was obviously a subconscious reaction.

"My journey is the sea of ​​stars." Duda said.

——The mission I once thought had become a illusion, and the real mission was waving to me. This time, I will not give up, otherwise I will only die of shame in regret and cowardice!

A coward will die of shame!
