Deng Yuanbo gave a few more instructions, and Deng Shentong listened silently with an unchanging smile on his face.

His true thoughts and emotions seemed to be obscured by an invisible wall, making it difficult to peek into them.

No matter what Deng Yuanbo said, he just nodded in agreement, like an obedient robot.

Although he had a vague ominous premonition, Deng Yuanbo did not find anything unusual for the time being and could only let Deng Shentong leave.

He twirled the beads distractedly, thinking that he would intervene if things really got to that point.

Deng Shentong returned to his room. He changed his shoes and walked in. He couldn't help stretching and lying down on the sofa he hadn't seen for a long time.

Zhang Yi walked out of the room, wiping his hair. Hot steam was coming out of his body and he looked comfortable, as if he had just taken a comfortable hot bath.

He frowned as he looked at Deng Shentong, then quickly walked over to him and sat down, asking, "You haven't called a doctor to check since you came back, right? I'll go get them over."

Deng Shentong waved his hand to stop him, and raised the corners of his mouth to reveal a smile. There was a hint of relief in his smile, as if to tell Zhang Yi that he was fine.

Without waiting for Zhang Yi to react, he suddenly changed side and leaned on Zhang Yi's shoulder.

A familiar aroma came to his face. Zhang Yi's body stiffened at first, then he took Deng Shentong in his arms and said, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

His expression was calm, but his voice was full of concern.

Deng Shentong shook his head. He seemed very tired. He leaned his head against Zhang Yi's neck and said in a muffled voice, "I'm fine. I'm just too tired. Let me lean on you for a while."

How could he not be tired? Deng Shentong's heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Every action he planned and every decision he made was for the long-term interests and safety of the family. His efforts and achievements were admired by the team members, and Zhu Zheng commended him for his achievements in obtaining the Source of God and quelling the rebellion.

However, the life-and-death test he had experienced a few days ago and the battle that had just ended had brought tremendous pressure on his body and mind.

He longed for understanding and support, but when he returned home, he was greeted with constant preaching and reminders.

Deng Shentong is not a superman.

What he needs is not only recognition and praise from the outside world, but also a partner who can understand and support him.

He seemed to be doing well on the surface, they praised his achievements, but no one cared about his fatigue.

At this time, only Zhang Yi could ask about his physical condition.

On Zhang Yi's shoulders, he found a place where he could temporarily put down his burdens, a safe haven where he could temporarily forget about his responsibilities and pressures.

Deng Shentong's breathing gradually became steady, and without even knowing it, he fell asleep leaning against Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi looked down at the young man in his arms. His silver hair was scattered on his shoulders and his body showed a natural relaxation, as if all the tension and fatigue were released at this moment.

A hint of tenderness flashed in Zhang Yi's eyes. He gently played with Deng Shentong's hair, his movements soft and careful, for fear of disturbing his sleep.

He had raised cats and knew that this creature would only reveal its vulnerable side without scruples when it completely let down its guard.

Deng Shentong's facial features are still so superior. Perhaps he inherited some of his mother's genes. His skin is glowing white, and only the faint dark circles under his eyes reveal a hint of fatigue.

Although he looks glamorous, the pressure behind him is unimaginable for ordinary people.

Zhang Yi gently adjusted his posture to allow Deng Shentong to sleep more comfortably.

It is difficult for others to share this kind of pressure with him. All I can do is to protect him and give him the most solid support.

……

On the other side, Caticles rushed back to the Columbia Oceanic Fleet Naval Base.

He had mixed feelings, on the one hand because of the forced termination of his plan, and on the other hand because of his anger at his own frustration.

He originally thought that he could succeed easily, but he didn't expect the final result to be like this.

Tu Yunlie had already received the news that Deng Shentong had successfully completed the task. Under the demonstration of Ipsilon, he went with the flow and pretended to compromise before returning to the region.

Although Douglas knew that Cartiers had such a perverse and naughty character, this time he left his post without permission and caused such a big trouble. If he was not punished, he would not be able to establish his authority in the army.

As Cartiers' superior, Douglas must maintain the discipline and order of the army, even if he still has to rely on Cartiers' power.

In order to show that he was clear about rewards and punishments, Douglas symbolically fined Cartiers one month's supplies.

Although this punishment is just scratching the surface, it is at least acceptable in terms of face.

Cardiles knew that the admiral had already let him go. He didn't care about the small amount of supplies. What bothered him most was the silver-haired man.

He just wanted to sleep with a beautiful woman for one night, but he met a tough guy.

He didn't expect that the other party had such a strong background that the entire Huaxu Kingdom's military was mobilized.

Cardiles vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he didn't intend to delve into it. He was not an ambitious person.

He prefers to go with the flow and is unwilling to get involved in complex power struggles and conspiracies. For him, the fun and enjoyment of life are the most important.

Forget his conspiracy, he just wanted to go to the bar and find a pretty girl to spend some good time with. This attitude of Cartiers made him seem a little out of place with Ipsilon's identity, but he didn't care.

He gathered himself together and prepared to leave the base and head to a nearby bar.

There, he can temporarily forget all his worries and stress and enjoy his own relaxing moments. For him, this is the best way to heal.
