one step away [Interstellar]

100.

On the way home from school, the children ate a very delicious dessert with the help of Xia Zuo, carrying He Bo on their backs.After Xia Zuo received a communication midway, he simply notified Heber's servants and looked forward to the children's next reaction.

The driver drove them all the way to the gate. The children happily got out of the car with their schoolbags on their backs. Xia Zuo followed behind them, watching them pass the schoolbags to the maids while thanking them and smiling. one time.

Xia Zuo blew the whistle, and a silver-gray figure rushed out from the open door and rushed towards her.The gray shadow blew a gust of wind, and the children were caught off guard.They looked at Xia Zuo, and when they saw the silver-gray figure pounced on Xia Zuo, their eyes lit up, "Big dog!"

The twins screamed in unison, and before they could react, weight fell to their feet.The children lowered their heads and just met a pair of gray-blue eyes, and a more pleasant voice came out of their mouths, "Puppy dog!"

"Ah! What a cute puppy!"

"Charles, can I hug them!" The happiest was Cheno. She squatted down and looked at the little snow wolf in front of her with an excited expression on her face.

"Of course." Xia Zuo stroked the big snow wolf that was rubbing against it, and looked at the children smiling very gently.This was originally a snow wolf raised by one of her very capable personal guards. Long before the mother wolf was pregnant, that personal guard promised her to give her two little wolf dogs.But it happened too suddenly, the guard was killed while protecting her and retreating, so Xia Zuo raised all the wolves in this family.

When he was in Sass, Xia Zuo had fed the snow wolf next to him, so he was very familiar with it.Except for the personal guards, Xia Zuo can be regarded as the closest person to this wolf.

Looking carefully at the children happily playing with the little wolves, Xia Zuo also heaved a sigh of relief.

The wolf cubs were already very clean when they were delivered, so there was no need to worry about the children being infected with bacteria or the like.

Xia Zuo let them play, and when Heber woke up, what he saw was the children and the three little wolves sitting on the carpet in the living room playing.She was sure that she read it correctly, and it took her a while to confirm that there were four more furry pets in the house.

"This is... your new friend?" She walked to the children, looked at Qian Nuo who was holding a little gray wolf in one hand, and then at Li Qi who was not at all ladylike, and asked.

"Yes mother, Charles said we can keep them, you have agreed, right?" Li Qi looked up, seeing the excitement on her mother's face.

"Of course." When Heber said this, he glanced around, and without seeing Xia Zuo, looked at the children and said, "Have you had dinner yet?"

"After eating mom, Charles said you are tired and need to rest, so let's eat first, mom, can we sleep with blueberries, mousse, and small cakes tonight?" Obviously, the children were very excited High, they looked at Heber expectantly.

"Blueberries are..."

"This is blueberry, this is mousse, and this is little cake. Mom, this is the name we gave our little wolves, isn't it nice?"

"Hmm...very cute..." The fact that the children like desserts, like myself, sometimes makes Heber very distressed, but how should I put it, they are still very cute when they choose their names.She glanced at the pets in the children's arms and took a step back.

The children looked at her and shouted happily, "Mom, would you like to touch them, they are very cute."

Heber smiled slightly, neither agreed nor refused, but changed the subject and asked, "Where is Charles? Do you know where she went?"

"Charles went over there." The twins pointed to the back garden together, and Heber nodded, indicating that he knew and then walked towards Xia Zuo.

Although Xia Zuo's departure from the hospital was well concealed, the eldest princess still found out.The princess's mother was very angry and gave Xia Zuo a good scolding while she was dealing with official duties.

"Didn't Mom not keep the promise? Li Qi and Chen Nuo mentioned you this afternoon." Sitting on the swing in the courtyard, Xia Zuo led the big bad wolf who had just arrived in the new environment, looking at the very bright wolf. Ye Kong chatted lazily with his mother.

"The royal family will attend the competition in Lezburg every year. Neither Winnie nor Nolan is free, so I went." The eldest princess said that she could not go to see her granddaughters.

"Then you also gave them rose rings." The rose ring is the status symbol of the Steward royal family, and as the eldest princess of the royal family, Eyster is qualified to give her children this status symbol.Whether it is Xia Zuo, her elder sister Ellen or the younger sisters, they all received rose rings from the royal family when they were born.

This is a congratulatory gift for the newborn of a member related to the royal family, and the child of a noble duke can also receive this congratulatory gift.Thinking about his mother's actions, Xia Zuo only felt a little headache.

The relationship between her and Heber was not clear enough, and this behavior of her mother made Heber think a lot about what to do.

"What are you nervous about, Charles. Hebe doesn't even mind." The eldest princess snorted and said, "Are you worried that your mother will mess up your marriage? Charles."

"I didn't mean that, it was just..."

"Just what? Shire, you're about to get married." If it wasn't for the fear that Heber and her child would not be exposed after something happened to her child, or that the two children would become so-called illegitimate children, the eldest princess would not Will be so anxious to see Heber's child.

"A lot of people in San Lorenzo know about this matter. Are you going to let Heber face those rumors again? Her career has just started, and if she can avoid some bad things, she should try her best..."

"Mom, do you think so too? You think Heber's career will be because of me..." From the moment Heber returned to San Elense, Xia Zuo began to worry about such things.She used to stay with Heber for a while, and during the time she was Lynn's wife, she heard a lot of bad remarks.

About Lynn, about Maureen, everything will be blamed on Heber.

"Charles, I think you worry a little too much. Heber is not such a child." The eldest princess felt that she had to save her child's glassy heart, so she said softly, "You know, Heber is such an outstanding child." The children are worthy of many people's pursuit, and the children are so cute, there are many people who are willing to be their father or mother."

"And you are so incomprehensible, and you are still a soldier, so you can't be by her side at all. Charles, do you still remember the reason why I divorced your father?" The eldest princess flipped through the official document in front of her with a satisfied expression on her face. Talk to Xia Zuo.

"Of course I remember, Mom. You've said it many times, it was my father who cheated on me when he was on a business trip." This was the words Xia Zuo heard many times when he was a child, she said with a sigh.

"Hmm... almost, the cheating partner is still a beta. It was at the celebration banquet, and the belt was not tightened. At that time, your father was no longer stationed, um... Shire, look at you, you are still just a major general , how much to face... Mom is not hitting you, have you seen the rankings of the most popular types in the past few years? If you want to find a military one-night stand, it is at the top of the list, but getting married is..."

"After all, it's rare for you to go home, and you can't take care of the children. By the way, the first good companion at home is the teacher, Charles..."

"Heber is so busy at work. If you want to get married again, it's better to find a leisurely place. You see, my mother thinks the same, so I found your mother Connie when I remarried."

"I think you need to have a clear understanding of yourself, Charles, if you don't work hard, it will be really difficult for you to get married, just like your father, who only had his first wife when he was almost 90 years old." The eldest princess She didn't deliberately hit her child. If she hadn't been young and ignorant back then, she wouldn't have married Ellen's father.

An imperial general, what a dangerous profession.

If she had a choice, she would rather Xia Zuo casually marry a wife with a suitable status.A long separation is a long longing, a long torment.

But sure enough, Xia Zuo should like it.What's more, she also likes Heber very much.

As for He Bo being her stepson's ex-wife and Xia Zuo's former sister-in-law, it was nothing to her.

It's just that things like the half-brother's ex-wife have to restrict them from being together. Such a reason is too unreasonable.

The mother's words were either explicitly or secretly urging her to get married, and she seemed very anxious.Xia Zuo thought about it for a while, probably because what happened a while ago frightened her mother so much, that's why she was so anxious about her own affairs.

A pang of apology welled up in his heart, Xia Zuo chuckled lightly, and rarely contradicted his mother, "I will work hard, mother. Of course, the premise is that I can return to Emperor Star smoothly."

Regarding this, the eldest princess had no choice but to say, "Okay, please do your best. However, this year's vacation will allow Li Qi and Cheno to come to Greenville. Connie also wants to meet them. They can live here for a summer vacation. I will accompany them to play everywhere."

Sure enough... Is the child the ultimate goal?

Xia Zuo sighed and had to remind, "Mom, you are very busy at work."

So, don't even think about playing with children.

"Connie is not busy, isn't it Connie, we can spend time with those two children, can't we?" The eldest princess who was talking to her child raised her head and looked at the woman who came to her with a glass of milk before going to bed. Mate, she rolled her eyes with a smile.

"Yes, dear. Charles, you can bring the children here, I will take them well, I promise." The Duke of Rose put the milk in the princess's hand, leaned over and kissed her on the cheek, and said to the communication The stepdaughter on the other end said.

"This matter needs to be discussed with Heber." Xia Zuo sighed and said, "Mom, you should go to bed, and I'm going to rest too. Bye, Mom, bye, Connie."

"Remember to go to the hospital for a physical examination tomorrow, or I will tell Heber." Before the eldest princess's communication was cut off, Xia Zuo could only sigh and said, "You can always find a way to make me obedient."

"I'll go, goodbye mom." After saying this, Xia Zuo finally ended his mother's caring moment.

At this moment, the sky is full of stars shining brightly above.Xia Zuo raised his head, glanced at the sky filled with stars, and let out a long sigh of relief.She leaned on the swing, holding the wolf beside her, with a very contented smile on her face.

The spring night breeze was very warm, gently blowing on her cheeks, she sat in the yard where she had only stayed for a day, as if she had returned to the villa she lived in Haisong a few years ago, and she felt very comfortable.

Those heavy things in her heart dissipated with the wind. Looking at the stars all over the sky, it was the first time she realized so deeply what she wanted.

There are more important things in life than victory.

That is to live well.

Live well towards what you dream of, just like Heber.

"Xia Zuo... Xia Zuo..." A woman's soft voice came from behind, Xia Zuo turned his head, and looked at the figure slowly approaching from under the street lamp amidst the branches and leaves.

Compared with the tall and slender figure that Alpha was born with an advantage over, Heber, who can be called tall even among male omega, looks so petite and slender.

Xia Zuo watched her walk out from the end of the path, and felt a softness in his heart.So she waved at the woman and said, "Here I am, Hebe."

Yes, I am here, so close to you, just a step away.

Her voice was so recognizable, He Bo raised his head, and by the dim streetlight, he saw Xia Zuo sitting firmly under the swing frame surrounded by wisteria flowers at a glance.

Of course, she also saw the giant dog with dark green eyes squatting beside her.

Heber stopped in place suddenly, unable to step on his high heels anymore.

"Heber, come here." Xia Zuo, who didn't know why, looked at Heber who stopped suddenly, and waved again.

He Bo took a deep breath, and after calming himself down, he said, "Xia Zuo... what's next to you?"

"Well, wolf." Xia Zuo tilted his head, looked at He Bo under the street lamp, and said with a slight smile.

"..." For a moment, Heber felt that he was going to void all the things he had just promised today.

She took a deep breath, turned around without hesitation, and walked towards the bright room.Xia Zuo watched her leave suddenly, and for some reason led the wolf to follow.As he walked, he called her, "Hebe? Hebe?"

The call from the people behind made Heber want to respond, but the sound of the large pet's breathing made Heber quicken his pace.She walked quickly on her high heels, a little panicked, Xia Zuo quickened his pace and followed her easily.

At the moment when one person and one wolf were about to approach, Heber finally couldn't suppress his fear, and raised his voice and said, "Don't come here, Charles!"

Hebe's voice made Xia Zuo's heart cold for a while, she stopped, led the wolf, and looked at Hebe's bewildered face.

She turned around suddenly, stood under the eaves, looked at Xia Zuo who was leading the wolf under the street lamp, her pretty face was pale.With a voice that was almost trembling, she said in a crying voice, "Don't let your pet come with you, Charles!"

Xia Zuo looked up, and finally saw the tears in the corners of her crimson eyes.

Suddenly, she understood the reason why Heber didn't let her approach.This was the first time that Xia Zuo saw Heber's tears when he was under the bed, and it was also the first time that he realized that the strong and brave Heber in her eyes had other weaknesses besides going to bed.

So Xia Zuo led his own wolf, looked at He Bo on the steps, and couldn't help but laugh.
