Chapter 300: Chapter 293 That One

Okay, although reluctant, it turns out there was a misunderstanding after all.

Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, until Li Yang quickly translated and explained it to him, only then did he understand where he had gone wrong.

"Uh, sorry, I didn’t mean that ’that’, my ’that’ was just this and that’s ’that’, not the real ’that’, can you explain it to him?"

As Gao Yuan was explaining the difference between ’that’ and ’Nigger’ to Andrew’s translator, Andrew’s face was full of anger, while that translator was stuttering, trying to explain to Andrew in not-so-fluent Chinese.

Gao Yuan knew where the problem lay because his ’that’ sounded exceedingly similar to the English racial slur, and, without a doubt, the black officer had misunderstood.

The black officer, furious, rushed over, and Li Jingang stood up, extending a hand to stop the black officer.

Strictly speaking, it was Gao Yuan’s fault, so Li Jingang didn’t want to take any action, and the translator at Andrew’s side stood up and quickly said in English, "Buddy, don’t be angry, he hasn’t said the insulting word that begins with N. He said a very common phrase in Chinese without any insult, just with similar pronunciation. Buddy, believe me, he didn’t mean to insult you."

The black officer looked dubious, but Andrew nodded and then said to him, "You misunderstood, go back and sit down. This is a welcome banquet, not... a place to fight. Besides, he really didn’t insult you, sit back down."

The black officer hesitated, and then he made no further movements, while Gao Yuan also stood up politely and said, "I regret that my words led to a misunderstanding, but please believe I had no ill intentions."

The translator conveyed Gao Yuan’s words, after which the black officer seemed to accept Gao Yuan’s explanation, but the translator turned to Gao Yuan and said in Chinese, "You didn’t apologize, you only expressed regret but didn’t apologize. I think you should apologize to him."

Gao Yuan shrugged and said, "I didn’t intend to insult him, so why should I apologize? Isn’t it enough to clear things up? I’ve already expressed my regret, isn’t that the international norm?"

Li Yang looked at Gao Yuan, he seemed somewhat helpless, and Gao Yuan also knew that he should just apologize, but he just didn’t want to.

It was a misunderstanding caused by a language difference, not a true attempt by Gao Yuan to insult anyone. Why should he apologize?

Andrew waved his hand again and said, "Alright, this should be a pleasant... meal, let’s all relax a bit."

The black officer accepted the explanation and sat back in his original place, while Gao Yuan also sat back down. And then, while everyone was arguing, Xinghe had almost finished eating an entire twelve-inch pizza.

"Tastes good, really good, I’ve saved a slice for you."

Xinghe passed the last triangular piece of pizza, still with a bite taken out of it, to Gao Yuan, saying, "Try it."

To accept or not to accept was problematic because he had to protect Xinghe’s identity as an alien, so Gao Yuan couldn’t let Xinghe appear ignorant about everything.

He naturally took the pizza, took a bite, and then smiled, "For frozen food, this really isn’t bad, thank you, my dear."

Since he had to cover up the identity of Xinghe the alien, he might as well dress her up as a girl in love.

So Gao Yuan leaned over and kissed Xinghe on the cheek.

Everything had gone smoothly, but as soon as it was over, Gao Yuan immediately regretted it, feeling that he had gone too hard; the drama was excessively played out.

Indeed, the public display of affection between Gao Yuan and Xinghe, regardless of the occasion or time, left many people stunned.

Xinghe first gasped in surprise, then she froze, and finally, she pushed him on the shoulder and smiled sheepishly, "Stop it, there are so many people here, you didn’t give me any mental preparation, you’re so annoying."

Since it had come to this, they might as well carry on with the act. They couldn’t just apologize and say, "Sorry everyone, she is an alien, so she gets surprised by a lot of things."

His shoulder did hurt quite a bit, and Gao Yuan smiled and said, "What’s there to be afraid of?"

Li Yang cleared his throat a couple of times and then he said to Andrew, "Uh, our captain and his girlfriend are both... technical officers. This operation relies on the two of them, so, uh, it’s perfectly normal, right?"

Andrew immediately nodded and said, "Yes, yes, very normal, of course, it’s normal. In these apocalyptic times, one should enjoy every moment together, we understand completely, we all do."

Just then, a person at the table behind Gao Yuan asked in accented English, "Hello, Captain, you haven’t introduced yourselves or your mission, could you tell us about it?"

After Li Yang’s translation, Gao Yuan nodded and replied, "Here’s the thing, our mission is... highly classified, but I am willing to reveal some of it to you, and that is, if the plan succeeds, we can destroy two of the aliens’ mother ships. And that’s only part of the plan. We are going to collect the origin virus so that a highly effective vaccine might be produced, a complete vaccine, which could give full immunity to the virus released by the aliens, so we need to go to Africa State, because that’s where the aliens first conducted their virus experiments."

"How are you going to destroy the alien ships?"

"I must beg your pardon on that, I cannot disclose it."

Andrew listened attentively and nodded frequently, but at that moment, the officer who asked the question suddenly switched to German.

German, now there really is no one in Spark Squad who understands that.

And the lieutenant who spoke in German seemed to be testing them; after noticing that his question in German got no response, he sat down and said a few words with a dismissive tone to his tablemates.

Andrew probably didn’t understand either, but when there was a break in the conversation, Andrew turned to Gao Yuan very seriously and continued, "Just to get back to the subject we were interrupted on, we really have had microwaves for a very long time. In my country, every household has a microwave."

Gao Yuan was ready to let it slide with Andrew who was just ignorant, but he didn’t expect that Andrew would even put aside important matters to argue about this issue.

"Oh, I thought you considered microwaves precious, after all, in our place, microwaves really belong to the very cheap kitchen appliances, so cheap and common that nobody cares about it, that’s why I was surprised that you cared so much about that microwave, especially since that microwave was a Shenzhou brand."

Just then, Xinghe suddenly furrowed her brows and said to Gao Yuan in a serious tone, "That jerk is insulting you, I am very angry."

Gao Yuan was very surprised and said, "What?"

Xinghe looked at the table behind her, then she stood up and burst into a stream of German.
