Bamboo mouse spirit is also trying to survive today

Although the tone was very unfriendly, Edwin's voice was low enough that it did not attract the attention of the third person.

Seeing Edwin approaching him, Gray didn't seem surprised, but the moment his brother called his name, his body still froze for a moment, and he raised his eyes to meet Edwin's.

If you dare to look at each other, it means you are at least calm.

The sharpness between Edwin's brows and eyes softened slightly.

The four eyes met for about two seconds, and the two brothers did not make a sound, but turned around at the same time tacitly, walked side by side, followed the pace of the others, and did not stay in place.

It wasn't until there was a distance enough to communicate with other people alone that Edwin opened his mouth lightly, his face was as calm as usual, and his tone was difficult to distinguish between emotions and anger.

He didn't directly bring the focus to Bai Shu, but instead picked a topic that didn't bother him.

"The news of my engagement was passed on to you by your mother?"

"Yes," Gray nodded, then shook his head after a moment, "but it's my own idea to take a long vacation."

Logically speaking, just attending an engagement banquet does not need to use up the one-year rest period at once.

Edwin didn't speak, and signaled Gray to continue speaking with silence.

This time, Gray applied for all the rest periods together, obviously because he had his original plan, but now something unexpected happened and he changed his mind temporarily.

Gray's voice paused, as if hesitating.

After a long time, he sighed, "I came back this time to ask for a transfer, and I don't plan to go back there again."

"You want to stay on the central star?"

"No." Gray shook his head and denied Edwin's guess, "I hope to apply for other tasks that are more suitable for me, and I will no longer guard the border planet."

"You also know that my character is not suitable for an overly comfortable and regular life. Now that the border is peaceful, I can live like a year there."

While speaking, he quickly raised his eyes and glanced at Nie Ruan's direction, making sure that his mother couldn't hear him, so his tense body relaxed a little.

Edwin nodded, with an expression on his face.

His younger brother is a naturally restless character. He has been more aggressive than other children since he was a child. With such a nature and excellent genes, after years of reasonable training and practical training, he is now the sharpest weapon of the Federation.

And now the Federation has entered an era of peace. Except for the rebels who often cause trouble, there has been no foreign invasion for a long time.

Guarding the border might seem like a dangerous chore, but for Gray it was too easy.

"It's true that your abilities haven't been brought into play for a long time." Edwin raised his hand and patted Gray's shoulder reassuringly. "I can understand your thoughts, but I'm afraid mother won't agree easily."

Although Nie Ruan disliked their two sons, she was also a selfish mother and would not hope that Gray would always be in danger.

Gray frowned and said nothing.

But his silence didn't last long, and was forcibly broken by his brother again.

Edwin's tone was no longer as gentle as before, but hidden sharpness, with a hint of warning.

"Grey, since some things are known to be impossible, you'd better stop thinking about them. I think you can distinguish between desire and reality. After all, not everything in this world can satisfy you."

Gray's face froze, his back was stiff, his feet were half a step behind because of his slowness, and he was staggered by a small distance from his brother.

After just one short sentence, a layer of cold sweat oozed from the tip of his nose.

He and Edwin have always had a harmonious relationship, and they know each other very well, so it's hard not to have a tacit understanding.Because of this, he could immediately decipher the meaning of Edwin's words——

It's not just persuading him to give up the idea of ​​transfer.

His elder brother is using this context to warn him not to think about the existence that Xiao shouldn't think about, such as Bai Shu.

Edwin's persuasion to distinguish between desire and reality is to tell him to follow the rules, keep his duty, actively avoid suspicion, and stay as far away from Bai Xia as possible.

"I understand, brother don't have to worry," he tried his best to control his voice to make his performance look normal.

Edwin didn't respond, but slowed his pace, giving Gray time to catch up with him and continue walking side by side.

He knew in his heart that Gray's affection for Bai Shu was only slightly higher than the normal level, and it was far from reaching the point of trying to snatch him away from him.

Nevertheless, he warned the other party.

He raised his eyes to look at Bai Shu who was pinched by Nie Ruan and Nie Qing. That innocent and soft face used to only give him a desire to protect, but now it also gave him a strong desire to monopolize.

Bai Shu was keenly aware of Edwin's scorching gaze, looked in the direction, grinned, showing a row of small teeth, and smiled happily at the man, with two small dimples on his face.

It wasn't that he was so happy, it was just that he wanted to show Edwin a smile, trying to relax that tense face in this way.

A group of people entered the living room of Edwin's mansion, and the room did not seem crowded.

Ever since he came to the Federation, Bai Shu knew that the food here was basically nutrients, all kinds of nutrients.

The words "Let's eat together" came out of Edwin's mouth, which even surprised him.

How can we have dinner together?A group of people gathered around the table to drink nutritional supplements together?

After sitting for a long time, there was no sign of food. Instead, Nie Ruan and Nie Qing kept pulling him to talk, sometimes bringing aliens together, and the three of Lucius and his son seemed to be communicating.

Bai Shu's stomach finally couldn't bear the hunger, and he let out a gurgling sound.

For a moment, all the chatter stopped, and the eyes of the whole room turned to him.

Bai Shu's face turned red instantly.

"Are you hungry? Didn't you prepare nutritional supplements for you? Why don't you drink it when you're hungry?" Edwin frowned, his tone didn't mean to blame Bai Shu, but his expression seemed a little self-blaming, thinking carefully whether he had The preparation was wrong, and I got a taste that Bai Shu didn't like.

Bai Shu was taken aback by the question.

The space of the jade bracelet did contain the nutritional supplements Edwin had prepared for him, but he couldn't just drink whatever he wanted regardless of the occasion.

He is a well-educated, well-mannered and polite bamboo mouse, and he never forgets what Adi taught him.

"Don't you want to have dinner together?" He showed doubts, his round face looked a little silly, but it was so cute that people couldn't help liking it.

Nie Ruan seemed to be amused by it. First, he slapped his eldest son Edwin on the shoulder, scolding him for his lack of consideration, and then explained to Bai Shu.

"It's different from eating together in the ancient earth period. Now we just gather at a table and talk casually, not really wanting to eat."

"...The ancient earth period?" Nie Qing, who was sitting next to Nie Ruan, raised his eyes upon hearing the words, repeated Nie Ruan's words, and set his eyes on Bai Shu, with a gentle smile on his face, but there was a trace of searching in his eyes.
