Link was silent for a few seconds.

"If people were free to choose their differentiated gender, the world...would be a mess."

Zhou Yi sighed lightly.

"Yeah, if sex-changing drugs were readily available, then the stability of empires would be a thing of the past forever. No one wants to be underdog, everyone wants to be above everyone else."

Lin Ke nodded: "From this point of view, the half-orcs' intentions are indeed very sinister. They have no way to destroy the external fortress of the empire, they can only find ways to break through from the inside. If we fall into their trap, the consequences will be terrible. Unbelievable."

Zhou Yi gave a light "hmm".

"Zhou Yi, don't think about these things for now, take a good rest. Are you hungry, do you want to eat something?"

Zhou Yi shook his head: "I have no appetite."

He looked at Lin Ke opposite, the black and blue circle around the handsome alpha's eyes was very obvious, and he couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

"Go home and rest first, don't stay with me here. I'm fine here alone."

"No, I don't trust you." Lin Ke was firm.

Zhou Yi had nothing to do with him, and said helplessly, "Okay, then you can stay here. I'm going to sleep."

"Go to sleep, I'll watch you."

Zhou Yi nodded and closed his eyes.In the dream, he seemed to have returned to the time when he was serving in the fleet. Liang Lu, who was wearing a silver uniform, was holding coffee and walking towards him with a smile...

This time Zhou Yi slept until evening, and when he woke up, the ward was empty, and there was no one else except him.He was a little puzzled, got out of bed and walked around, and was about to open the door to go out to have a look, when he suddenly heard voices coming from outside the door.

"Staff Lin...what should we do about this matter? It's spread all over the Internet..." It was Yang Li's voice.

"Don't panic, and don't tell Zhou Yi. I will find a way about this matter. You just need to do your own security work, understand?"

"Yes, Staff Officer Lin."

Footsteps sounded, and Zhou Yi heard that Lin Ke was about to come in, so he hurriedly left the door and returned to the bed to lie down.

Lin Ke walked in and was surprised to see that he was awake.

"When did you wake up?"

"I just woke up and I'm starving to death." Zhou Yi rubbed his stomach and said with a smile, "I guess this guy is hungry, he kicked me several times, and begged for something to eat."

Lin Ke's eyes were filled with tenderness, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll let Yang Li go buy dinner right away. Here are some snacks and fruits, you can eat some to fill your stomach first."

He went to the cabinet next to the hospital bed and took out a bag of things in it, which contained various breads and pastries, as well as milk and fruit.

"Why do I look like a hospital patient." Zhou Yi took a breath exaggeratedly when he saw a bag full of food.

"Aren't you a patient now?"

Lin Ke took out the milk and bread, picked another banana, and put it in his mouth.

Zhou Yi didn't think much, just took a bite of his hand, and frowned immediately.

"Damn, this is too astringent, it's not familiar at all."

Lin Ke didn't know what he was thinking, and his expression was a little lost. Seeing Zhou Yi frowning, he reacted, withdrew his hand, and threw the banana into the trash can.

"Sorry, I didn't notice. Would you like some other fruit? There are also mangoes and watermelons here."

"Forget it, I'll just eat bread."

Zhou Yi tore open the package of the bread, took a big bite, and drank a few mouthfuls of milk.After eating and drinking, he looked at Lin Ke who was sitting by the bed, his expression gradually serious.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Lin Ke was stunned for a moment: "No accident? What's wrong?"

"Don't lie to me. I heard the conversation between you and Yang Li just now at the door. What happened to the military area? Just tell me!"

Lin Ke Qingjun frowned, looking hesitant to speak.

Zhou Yi was impatient, and said impatiently: "If you don't tell me, I'll ask Yang Li directly, and I'll see if this guy dares to lie to his superior!"

After speaking, he was ready to get out of bed and go to find Yang Li.Lin Ke quickly pushed him back on the bed with a solemn expression.

"I said that's it, you cover the quilt first, don't catch a cold."

"You should hurry up!" Zhou Yi was in a hurry.

"Your pregnancy...was made public. I don't know who posted it on the Internet. Now everyone on the Star Network knows about it."

"what?"

Zhou Yi's eyes widened, and his face suddenly turned pale.

The day he dreaded most had actually come.

"Then... the military area also knows?"

Lin Ke nodded and said in a low voice, "Yes, the Chairman said he would come over later to see you."

Zhou Yi's face was full of despair, and he covered his face with a pillow.

Lin Ke stood by the bed, put his hands on the pillow, and couldn't bear to say: "Zhou Yi... don't worry, the chairman will definitely understand you. I will also intercede with His Majesty."

Zhou Yi shook his head, the voice under the pillow was muffled.

"Go away, I want to be alone."

Lin Ke sighed softly, covered him with the quilt, and left the room.

Not long after, the chairman really came.

He pushed open the door and saw Zhou Yi sitting on the hospital bed like a frost-beaten eggplant, and immediately frowned in dissatisfaction.

"Zhou Yi, what's the matter with you? You are not injured, why do you look like you are dying?"

Zhou Yi saluted him with a military salute, and said with a wry smile: "Chairman, I have let down your cultivation, and I have cultivated a subordinate like Liang Lu. I am really sorry."

Mentioning Liang Lu, the chairman also sighed.

"I've met you as an adjutant twice. She's a good seedling. It's a pity. She's on the wrong path, and she has to pay the price. Neither you nor I can change that."

Zhou Yi gave a light "hmm".

"Apart from Liang Lu, do you have anything else to tell me?" The Chairman frowned at him.

Under his extremely oppressive gaze, Zhou Yi forced a smile: "Chairman, I really didn't mean to hide it from you..."

"Are you really pregnant?"

The chairman's gray eyebrows trembled, and his expression was quite complicated: "Zhou Yi, why didn't you tell me earlier? This mission to hunt down Liang Lu is so dangerous. If I knew you were pregnant, I wouldn't let you go." !"

Zhou Yi laughed twice.

"Chairman, don't worry, I have rough skin and thick flesh. Even if I am pregnant, I will be fine, and I can still go to heaven and earth. You really don't have to offer me like porcelain."

"What are you talking about?! I heard from Lin Ke that you have been pregnant for more than four months. The child is so old, and you still don't take your body seriously? Are you still a qualified father?"

Zhou Yi lowered his head and said ashamedly: "In this respect, I am indeed unqualified. This child is also a surprise to me."

Seeing Zhou Yi's gloomy face, the Chairman sighed softly.

"It was a good thing that you were pregnant, but..."

"Did the Military Commission say something again?" Zhou Yi looked up at him.

The chairman nodded and looked out the window with a trace of worry on his brow.

"It's not only because of your pregnancy, Liang Lu committed suicide, which caused bad repercussions. In addition, she was your subordinate before. Several committee members felt dissatisfied and decided that you had shielded him, so they insisted on asking me for an explanation."

"I shield her? If I shield her, I won't watch her commit suicide in front of me!" Zhou Yi said bitterly.

"Don't get excited, of course I know what kind of person you are. It's just that He Qingyuan is lying in the intensive care unit now, and his father must be very anxious. He wanted to find someone to vent his anger on, so he naturally pointed the finger at you. Plus you Pregnant, as an oga, sitting in this position will definitely cause a lot of criticism."

"Chairman, what do you mean..." Zhou Yi looked at him anxiously.

The chairman turned around, with a trace of unbearable in his sharp eyes.

"Zhou Yi, let me give you a long vacation. You can rest well and wait until the baby is born, okay?"

Zhou Yi instantly understood the meaning of his words, he lowered his eyelashes and twitched the corners of his mouth.

"I see, thank you Chairman."

Lin Ke waited anxiously outside the ward, and when the chairman came out, he immediately went up to him and saluted him as a soldier.

"Chairman, how is Zhou Yi...how?"

"I told him about the suspension. He looked very uncomfortable, but he also expressed his understanding. Lin Ke, you have to comfort him. If he's not pregnant, it's just about Liang Lu, and those committee members can't influence me. decided, but he is pregnant, a pregnant oga, sitting in the position of deputy commander, is too dangerous..."

Lin Ke was silent for a moment, and then said: "Chairman, is there no room for change? During Zhou Yi's tenure, his talent and ability are obvious to all, so can't he keep his position?"

"Of course I want to keep it, but can a general who can't go to the front line convince his soldiers? Similarly, if Zhou Yi continues to stay in the military region, what will the other officers think? Will they think it's me? The chairman favors him? Most importantly, can Zhou Yi still get along with his colleagues and subordinates without any grievances like before?"

Lin Ke frowned and didn't speak.

The chairman sighed heavily, and patted him on the shoulder: "Lin Ke, life is easy to break, I hope you can understand this truth. Sometimes it is a good thing to avoid the edge and keep a low profile. You go back Think about my words carefully."

"Yes, Chairman."

He watched the figure in military uniform disappear behind the corridor.

Turning around, Lin Ke looked at the door of the ward and raised his hand to knock, but he was afraid that Zhou Yi would not want to see him, so he finally sat down at the door and stared at the empty corridor in a daze.

He sat on the cold floor for an unknown amount of time, when the door behind him suddenly moved, his center of gravity was unstable, and he almost fell backwards, one of them supported his shoulder.

"You want to scare me to death, don't you? What are you doing sitting on the ground? And blocking the door!" Zhou Yi was speechless.

Lin Ke patted his clothes, stood up, and looked at Zhou Yi with burning eyes.

"Are you leaving the hospital?"

"Of course, I'm not injured. What are you doing here? Isn't this a waste of beds?"

"But I asked Yang Li to buy dinner—"

"Just let him deliver it directly to his home. I'll eat it as a supper."

Zhou Yi strode towards the corridor, seeing that Lin Ke was still standing there, he looked back in dissatisfaction.

"Why? You're not leaving?"

"I'm going, of course I'm going."

Lin Ke hurriedly followed.

After returning home, Lin Ke carefully observed Zhou Yi's every move.

Knowing that he was suspended, he didn't seem to have much reaction, he did whatever he wanted, and he even had the leisure to go to the yard to water his flowers and plants.

Lin Ke walked into the backyard and looked at Zhou Yi.

"Zhou Yi, if you feel uncomfortable, you can tell me, don't bear it, okay?"

Zhou Yi poured water on his own, as if he didn't hear what he said, and took a long time to glance at him.

"I'm uncomfortable? Why should I be uncomfortable? There's nothing better than paid vacation, okay?"

"Zhou Yi, do you really think so?" Lin Ke looked at him suspiciously.

"Of course, I've wanted to rest a long time ago. I haven't taken annual leave for five years. Isn't that just right?"

Lin Ke saw that his expression was calm, and there was still a disapproving smile in his eyes, and the strings in his heart relaxed a little.

"That's good. The chairman said that keeping a low profile is also a strategy. You don't have to worry. After the child is born, you can still return to your original position."

"Well, I know. Don't just sit here and watch, there are weeds growing in this orchid, hurry up and help me pull it out."

"Okay, I'll get the gloves."

In the evening, Zhou Yi ate two big bowls of rice and went to bed early.

Lin Ke was worried about whether he would suffer from insomnia, but Zhou Yi fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow, and even snored a little. Watching Zhou Yi fall asleep.

At 06:30 in the morning, he woke up on time.The sound of the loud bugle was faintly heard outside the window. He guessed that the morning exercise in the military area had started, so he rubbed his face and got up to get dressed.

As soon as he sat up, he found that there was no one beside the bed.At this time, footsteps came from the bathroom door, and Zhou Yi, who had just finished washing, came out, yawning and sleepy.

"Still dawdling? We're going to be late."

Lin Ke looked at him with a strange expression.

Zhou Yi read something from his eyes, he slapped his head suddenly, and laughed at himself: "Look at my memory, I have forgotten that I am not the deputy commander of the military region now, well, let's sleep late."

He took off the military jacket he had just put on, and lay back on the bed, facing the wall.Lin Ke looked at him by the bed, his eyes showed pity and intolerance.

"Are you still leaving?"

Zhou Yi buried most of his face in the quilt and said in a muffled voice.

"I'm leaving right now."

Lin Ke put on his coat and walked towards the door, but after turning the doorknob, he didn't go out, but stood there, looking at Zhou Yi on the bed.

Zhou Yi probably thought he was gone, his tall body was huddled in the quilt, his shoulders trembled, and after a while, a suppressed sob overflowed from his throat.Lin Ke had never seen him so fragile. At that moment, his heart seemed to be thrown into a hot oil pan and fried repeatedly.He clearly felt the sadness and helplessness in Zhou Yi's body, but he couldn't do anything about it. He gritted his teeth, and his eyes blushed silently.

He walked over lightly, got on the bed, and hugged Zhou Yi's back from behind.Realizing that he hadn't left yet, Zhou Yi shrank back in embarrassment and struggled.Lin Ke hugged him even tighter, the alpha pheromone on his body wrapped him gently and forcefully, kissing the back of his neck constantly.

"Zhou Yi, don't cry. You still have me, I will always love you and protect you..."

"I didn't cry! Don't frame me!" Zhou Yi quickly wiped away his tears and choked up.

Lin Ke pulled him out of the quilt, no matter how Zhou Yi struggled like a little beast with teeth and claws, he firmly hugged him into his arms and kept stroking his face.

"I know you feel uncomfortable, cry if you want...it's not shameful..."

Zhou Yi leaned in his arms, smelling the comforting incense on his body, and hearing Lin Ke's gentle words, all the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly burst out. He tightly grabbed Lin Ke's shirt, dumbfounded. Said: "It's not ashamed to blame, I'm ashamed to death... It's all your fault... Woo..."

It was the first time he cried in the arms of an alpha when he grew up so big, and he was out of breath, as if he had been greatly wronged.

"Isn't I just pregnant? Why should I suspend my job! This is discrimination against oga during pregnancy...uh...discrimination against all oga, I don't accept it...why!"

Lin Ke didn't speak, just hugged him in his arms, listening silently to his grievances.Zhou Yi's tears dripped on his hands, which were almost as hot as flames, and the heat spread from his fingertips to his chest, causing fine pains.

He lowered his head and kept kissing Zhou Yi's cheeks and ears, stroking his black hair with his fingers, comforting him in the most clumsy way.Language is so feeble at this moment, all he can do is accompany.

Zhou Yi cried enough in his arms, vented enough, and then raised his red and swollen eyes and glanced at him.

Lin Ke's eyes were gentle, his beautiful black eyes were lowered, and his amber pupils were bright and transparent, looking at him with affection like he had seen countless times.

"Did I...did I delay you from going to work?" Zhou Yi thought that he couldn't help but cry in Lin Ke's arms just now, and was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground.

"It's okay, it's okay to be late for a while. How about I take a leave of absence and stay with you at home today?"

Zhou Yi shook his head quickly.

"Don't, don't, go to work as soon as possible. We were married and got a certificate before, so we asked for enough leave."

"it is good."

Lin Ke reluctantly let go of him, and wrapped Zhou Yi in a quilt.

"You rest at home and wait for me to come back at noon."

Zhou Yi didn't feel sleepy for a long time. After Lin Ke finished washing, he also got dressed and got out of bed.

"Here, you can take the shoulder badge and badge of the deputy commander to the military area."

Zhou Yi's eyes were still red, and there was a hint of embarrassment on his handsome face.

Lin Ke took what was in his hand and carefully put it into his pocket.

"Well, I'll put it away for you. The housekeeper has prepared breakfast, so hurry up and eat some."

"how about you?"

"I don't have time to eat, let Zhang Yue help me make some breakfast in the cafeteria."

"alright."

The two went downstairs together, and when they reached the entrance, Lin Ke picked up his optical brain and turned around to find Zhou Yi standing behind him, hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong?" Lin Ke was puzzled.

"You don't fasten the button well, it looks uncomfortable." Zhou Yi frowned.

It is estimated that he was too hasty when he just came down, so he didn't pay attention.Lin Ke gave a soft "hmm", put down the briefcase in his hand, and raised his chin to button it. There was no mirror here, and he couldn't see his own image. After the button was buttoned, the neckline was wrinkled again.

Zhou Yi couldn't see it, "tsk", stretched out his hand to straighten his neckline.

"That's right."

Lin Ke looked at the man who was close at hand, and when Zhou Yi retreated a little, he grabbed his hand, unable to hold back the surging emotion in his heart, leaned over and kissed Zhou Yi's lips.
