Celeste said truthfully: "He is very good, mature and rational, has a good temper, is very patient, and thinks of me in everything."

Celeste's praise left Fu Yunlan speechless, he asked the question himself, but he felt very depressed after getting the expected answer.

"Is something wrong?" Thurlist asked.

"No...it's nothing." Fu Yunlan still hesitated, and he was not sure whether He Xiao's attitude towards Celeste was to use, support, or have ulterior motives. He only knew that if He Xiao was right Celeste is interested, and if he wants to compete with him, he will have no chance of winning.

Celeste didn't know the little entanglement in his heart. He lightly picked an old scar on Fu Yunlan's collarbone, and said a little unhappy: "He Xiao said that the enemy is too powerful and the chance of defeating is slim, so you It's a lot of pressure, I should understand you. I understand the truth, but I'm still not happy."

"It's not your fault." Fu Yunlan kissed him on the forehead, "It's my fault, I shouldn't have neglected you."

"It seems difficult for me to think about things from the perspective of others, and I don't know how to think about others, just like you like meat and spicy things, but don't like sweets, but I always give you sweets."

Fu Yunlan chuckled: "I just don't like food very much, but I don't hate it so much. If you are willing to share with me what you like to eat, I'm too happy. I don't think I would dislike it."

"But don't you think I'm not very sensible?" Celeste said, "If He Xiao hadn't told me, I wouldn't have realized it at all."

"You don't have to worry about this." Celeste kept mentioning He Xiao, which made Fu Yunlan feel a little complicated. He kissed his lover and said as gently as possible, "Listen, Celeste, you You don’t need to deliberately learn He Xiao’s sophistication, you are you, although sometimes you are not tactful, not tactful, don’t care about other people’s feelings, and say what you think, but what I like is such a simple and pure you. "

"I like you the most too." Celeste buried his face in his chest, rubbing his shirt crumpled.

Just because Fu Yunlan knew that Celeste was a person who had something to say, this straightforward sentence immediately dispelled Fu Yunlan's depression. Although He Xiao's existence always made him feel a little bit in danger, Celeste Te's attitude somewhat gave him confidence, he chuckled and rubbed Celeste's hair: "Okay, it's really time for us to get up."

"Yeah." Celeste also sat up, "I don't sleep much, but I can adjust my schedule in the future. Do you want to sleep with me, or do you want to wake up with me?"

"You decide." Fu Yunlan said, "Hurry up and brush your teeth, let's have breakfast together."

The robot in the laboratory stretched out its manipulators with different functions, and was manufacturing a complex model according to Celeste's design. While Celeste was waiting, He Xiao came over and handed him a cup of milk tea.

"Thank you." Celeste took it and drank the milk tea that was too sweet for ordinary people without changing his face. "Did you just come from Lan's side? How is his training?"

"There's been some progress, but it's not enough." He Xiao said with satisfaction, "The lover you found is really interesting. I've never seen such a persistent person. He lost dozens of times every day without breaking down. .The commanders I recruited before often only lost a few games, and when they saw the gap between the two sides, they completely lost confidence."

"Of course, Lan is very strong and brave." Celeste praised his lover without hesitation.

"It seems that your relationship with Lan is recovering well." He Xiao said with a smile.

"It's more than good, it really blinds the eyes of us single dogs." Beethoven came over with coffee, and handed it to He Xiao flatteringly, "I brewed it myself, and added four sugars according to your taste, for a reward Face to taste?"

He Xiao took it over: "Just leave this kind of thing to Case."

Beethoven suddenly slumped to the ground, holding his chest as if he had been hit by a big blow, and said: "I just want to take this opportunity to get close to you. I didn't expect you to be so unfeeling. My heart is about to break. Do I In your eyes, is nothing but a laboratory mouse?"

Celeste and He Xiao, who were already used to it, ignored his exaggerated performance. Celeste asked: "Speaking of mice... has the t-virus extracted from Beethoven been successfully bred?"

"It's a success so far, maybe in the near future, you will have an army of mutants, but after all, we are not devourers who wish for the extinction of human beings, and we can't treat the survival rate of this kind of receptors as only a few per thousand. The virus is used directly, and it is now being improved and bred."

Beethoven, who was ignored, got up bored, and looked at them listlessly while riding upside down on a chair.

He Xiao said in a chatty tone: "I have already announced that I support you as king, but people don't seem to adapt to such a change of roles. I noticed that some scientists in the laboratory, when you exchange ideas with them, always put you Treat it like an ignorant rookie."

"Who is so bold? I'll bite him to death." Beethoven showed his thick canine teeth.

"Don't mess around," said Thurlist.

"Oh..." Beethoven rested his chin on the back of the chair sullenly.

He Xiao put down his coffee cup and said, "Forget about the others. Even some people in the army don't care about you. This is not a good sign."

Celeste nodded in agreement: "It's really not good, but to them, after all, I'm just someone who suddenly appeared, and it's normal for them not to take me seriously."

"If we want to fight the Devourer, we must establish your authority." He Xiao said, "Tomorrow I will hold a grand enthronement ceremony for you, and from now on everyone must strictly abide by the etiquette rules. Although in our It seems that those ritual actions are a waste of time and meaningless, but for humans, etiquette norms will create a sense of class, make them more obedient, and reduce unnecessary troubles."

"The emphasis on class and obedience seems like a step backwards for civilization."

"Indeed, but after all, human beings haven't got rid of the instincts handed down from the ape tribe tens of thousands of years ago. The class system will make them more united and efficient. After the current difficulties are over, how will human civilization develop in the future? , It's their own business, I won't interfere any more." He Xiao said, "But I'm a little worried, Fu Yunlan doesn't have any real sense of your identity change at present, I don't know if we implement the imperial system. , Can Fu Yunlan accept this change in status? The little boy who relied on him for survival will become the emperor he must absolutely obey in the future. This huge gap in status is difficult for some people to accept, and Judging from his performance, he is insecure about his relationship, and your identity change may exacerbate this anxiety, causing him to do some unpredictable stupid things."

"Maybe, but I always feel that you seem to be paying too much attention to my emotional life." Celeste looked at He Xiao in confusion, "Why?"

He Xiao smiled mysteriously: "Because to me, this is a major event that is more important than the life and death of human beings."

"...is this a joke?"

"It's not a joke." He Xiao said seriously.

When Fu Yunlan heard that He Xiao was going to hold a coronation ceremony for Celeste, she didn't realize what it meant. She didn't expect that Keith would arrange everything grandly and grandly in one night. Guards of honor, military bands, red carpets and fireworks, all the elements that should be in a human grand program are all missing.

The enthronement ceremony refers to the ceremonies used by many countries. The process is complicated and time-consuming. In the most important part of the ceremony, Celeste is wearing a military uniform and sitting on the throne that is many steps higher. The forged golden crown was put on his head, and after taking a few steps back, he actually knelt down on one knee under the steps, stroked his left chest and lowered his head.

"I, He Xiao, will support Celeste as king from now on, and swear to obey your rule and become your right-hand man. May you be invincible and invincible from now on."

After being shocked for a while, everyone also knelt on the ground according to the previously established procedure.

In fact, many people were a little unhappy when Case informed them of the process of the grand ceremony. Most of the people in the Blue Shield base were elites and their descendants collected by He Xiao from all over the world. Civilization still has a clear memory. They don't quite approve of kneeling, but they have long been used to obeying management without asking why.

Even if He Xiao inexplicably sent a little boy picked up from the wasteland to the throne, even if he handed over the armed forces of the entire base to a young man of unknown origin to command, people just muttered in private without questioning , because in their minds, the mysterious and powerful He Xiao, the creator of Blue Shield Base, is always right. Even if he made a seemingly ridiculous decision, it must be because other people failed to understand the reason behind it. deep meaning.

Unexpectedly, He Xiao, whom they looked up to and revered as a god, took the lead and knelt down in front of Celeste.

As a general, Fu Yunlan knelt at the bottom of the steps closer to the throne. He lowered his head and looked at the red carpet under his feet, faintly feeling that there was something between them that might never return to the past.

At night, after the grand dinner and fireworks show, Celeste was still clinging to him as always, pestering him for a hug without taking off his dress.

"How does it feel to be emperor?" Fu Yunlan asked with a little complicated mood.

"It doesn't seem to be any different," said Thelister. "What about you?"

"I'm not used to it...but it's okay." Fu Yunlan didn't express the pressure in her heart, because it didn't help other than increasing the gap between them.

"He Xiao said that you might not be used to this change of status." Celeste asked worriedly, "Will you still like me as much as before?"

Fu Yunlan took off Celeste's military cap and ruffled his hair as usual: "As long as you wish so, I will treat you the same as before, my lord."
