Strike!cowardly [interstellar]

Yao Zaier, who was aware of this emotion for the first time, felt a little scary, and did not run to Lance's side at the subsequent banquet.

Holding a plate of food alone, he sat down by the floor-to-ceiling windows, stuffing his own mouth, and glanced at the tall man in the crowd from time to time with his almond eyes.

Lance was still wearing a solemn and gorgeous court attire. The red epaulets made his shoulders look wider. The lowered brim of his hat covered half of his short light golden hair, but his profile was still three-dimensional and eye-catching.

He was listening to a lady's words, and his blue eyes suddenly swept to this side, Yao Zai'er quickly lowered his head, and stuffed a chicken leg into his mouth with a guilty conscience.

A little choked, coughing softly...

"Here you are." At this moment, a glass of colorless liquid was handed to him.

Yao Zai'er raised his head, with a piece of chicken hanging from the corner of his mouth.He poked out a bit of his tongue, carefully put the meat into his mouth, and swallowed it quickly.

The visitor gave a low laugh.It was a tall boy with flaxen curly hair, wearing an expensive navy blue dress with a snow-white scarf around the neckline, looking meticulous.

Behind him was a boy with brown hair.

The brown-haired boy poked his head out, looked at Yao Zai'er curiously, and said, "Drink!"

Yao Zai'er glanced at the cup in the hand of the flaxen curly-haired boy, shook his head, "I don't drink."

"It's not wine! It's water!" the brown-haired boy urged again.

Yao Zai'er was still a little hesitant, and the boy holding the cup said, "Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself first. I'm Owen Patch, and this is my classmate Yake from the same school. We are both from the combat department of the military academy." s student."

"Owen...Patch?" Yao Zai'er was thinking.

"Yes." Owen laughed slowly, feeling that the little guy's dazed look was a little cute, squatted down, and passed the cup over, "My surname is Patch, I wonder if Dean Arnold asked You introduced me?"

Yao Zai'er was a little embarrassed to be asked.He didn't remember whether Arnold had mentioned this name, it seemed that he had introduced a lot of family situations, but he couldn't remember most of them.

In order not to make the boy sad, he hastily took the cup and drank it in one gulp——and found that it was really just water.

Immediately, I felt so grateful, I took the cup from my lips, smiled sweetly at them, narrowed my almond eyes, and said, "Thank you."

Owen only felt his eyes flicker, and the sound of his friend breathing in came from his ear.

"Owen, this kid in your family is growing up really well." Yake lowered his voice, and sighed next to Owen's ear, "When I go to school, I don't know how many people it will attract."

Owen's heart sank.Originally, he was not interested in the new grandson adopted by Arnold. Even just now, he saw him hiding here alone eating chicken legs, and he looked a little pitiful, so he came over and handed him a glass of water.

But now seeing that he let go of his heart so quickly and accepted his attitude, he suddenly felt slightly uneasy.

Wouldn't it be easy to deceive such a simple character in school?As long as others coax you a little, they will immediately follow!

Seeing the tall boy's face turn cold, Yao Zai'er thought that his precaution just now had hurt his heart, so he stood up immediately, carefully wiped off the oil on his fingers with a paper towel, and tried not to touch the oil on his fingers carefully. He rubbed his wrist against the boy's arm, raised his eyelids and looked at him, "I'm sorry, don't be angry..."

Owen's heart softened after being shaken.He quickly completed the transformation from a passerby to a big brother. He took Yao Zai'er's hand without hesitation, and said coldly: "Apollo, can I call you that? You should call me Brother Owen, we are Family, go, I will take you to meet other brothers and sisters in the family now."

Arnold also took him to meet several powerful figures in the Patch family before, but they were all patriarchs, and their peers were only famous and never masked.

There are many boys in the Patch family, and Owen is one of the best leaders of this generation. He led the youngest to walk over, and all the boys and girls who had been chatting with each other looked over.

Lance has also been paying attention to Yao Zai'er's situation. When he saw Owen taking him away, he wanted to follow him uncontrollably, but reason made him stop again.

Although he already understood that he had moved his mind on this young boy, he also knew very well that the other party was also an independent person.It is not his appendage, and the future world cannot always revolve around him.

He should have his own new family, new friends, and his own social circle.

And Owen, at this time, is a more suitable guide than him.

He is young, outstanding, and has a high enough reputation in Patch's generation, and he is capable of protecting Apollo from being bullied and excluded.It will be easier for the child to be accepted by him taking Apollo to contact those "brothers and sisters".

Thinking of this, Lance stopped, but his eyes still followed Yao Zai'er, watching him follow Owen like a docile and docile little beast, saying hello to the others.

The Patch family is brave and good at fighting.There are many boys in the family, influenced by the atmosphere, the girls are also different from the pampering of other aristocratic girls, and they have cultivated a cheerful and free personality.

Seeing Owen walking over with a snow-skinned and snow-haired boy, a beautiful girl who was not wearing a skirt, but in a slim suit and trousers first smiled and said, "Owen, what are you doing? This child who is it?"

"He is the grandson of Dean Arnold, Apollo Patch." Owen said, and then turned to introduce Yao Zaier, "Apollo, this is Selena, you should call her cousin."

"Sister Selena." Yao Zai'er was a little shy and didn't dare to get too close, so he stood behind Owen and called softly.

The gentle and pleasant voice, coupled with this expression like a newborn deer, immediately aroused Selena's maternal love, her expression changed from a little arrogant to enthusiastic, her eyes lit up, "So it's you! Apollo, I I've heard of your name! Oh...what a lovely brother, why didn't you bring it to us earlier? Come here, you guys! Come and meet Apollo!" She turned her head again and called out to the other brothers and sisters.

For a while, Yao Zai'er was surrounded by people, all watching him curiously and chirping.And Yao Zai'er was answering their questions earnestly, keeping his body close to Owen.

It was also rare for Owen to stay by his side, and the boy didn't want to admit it—but he still had to realize that he was enjoying the feeling of being trusted and relied on very much now.

Owen saw that everyone knew each other almost, and he couldn't frighten the children, so he coughed lightly, indicating that it was time to leave.Everyone listened to him very much, and all of them were well-cultivated nobles, no matter how curious they were, they would not show excessive entanglement.After inviting Apollo to their home as a guest, they all gradually dispersed and continued the chatting topic just now.

When there were not many people around, Owen asked Selena, "Where's Gordon? Why haven't I seen him?"

Selena pouted, "His restless temperament, he insisted on going out with his partner to ride a horse yesterday, but broke his leg and is lying at home recuperating."

Owen frowned, "Why are you so reckless."

"Ha, that's up to you, he won't listen to me anyway." As Gordon's older sister, Selena seemed very happy about her brother's injury, and made a small sound like a silver bell, shaking her hands. Holding a glass of intoxicating red wine, he twisted his slender waist and walked towards the girls' circle.

Owen sighed, and then explained to Yao Zaier: "The Gordon I mentioned just now should be a little older than you, and he will go to Feiluo Noble Middle School with you next year." After a pause, he said, " His temperament... is more evasive, and he likes to cause trouble. Although it may not be suitable, I will go to tell him a few words in a few days and ask him to take more care of you in school. "

As soon as his words fell, his friend Yake let out a muffled laugh unceremoniously.

In exchange for a slash, the brown-haired boy held back his smile and said, "Yes, I'm sorry! Hahaha... I just heard that Gordon was asked to take care of others... Hahahahaha!"

When Owen felt that his face was dull and embarrassed, he heard the delicate-looking young man look at him and said seriously, "Don't worry, I will take care of him and won't let him get hurt casually."

Owen was stunned, and Yake stopped laughing, looking at the snow-haired boy in disbelief.

"Why, why? Want to take care of him...?" Owen asked in a daze.

"Because we are family!" Yao Zai'er said, his almond eyes were bent, clear and pure, as if he could see into the bottom of his heart at a glance.He laughed, like a snow-white and smart little angel.

Although I have been in this world for so long, I haven't found a way to go back to Dashan to meet my brothers and sisters.But he didn't feel lonely. He was lucky to be with Lance and met so many people who were kind to him and cared about him. He was very happy.

Now he seems... to have new brothers and sisters, whether Owen, Selena, or Gordon.

So be it.

From now on, he will treat them well, his family members.

"..." Owen's voice choked, and he looked into Yao Zai'er's pure black eyes, as if he had discovered some precious treasure.

He wanted to say a thousand words, but was blocked in an instant.Looking up, he saw the tall and straight man standing behind the young man, his face turned white instantly, he stood at attention, saluted the military, and said in a serious voice, "Your Majesty!"

Yao Zai'er's eyes lit up suddenly, and he was a little panicked and embarrassed, turned his head, just in time to see Lance's resolute and graceful chin, and his heart beat violently.

"Don't bother Your Majesty anymore, Apollo, I'll see you in two days." Owen was a little reluctant, but under Lance's gaze, he turned and left.

Seeing that they were all gone, the momentum around Lance relaxed. He gently stroked Yao Zai'er's hair with his palm, and his voice was magnetic and gentle, with soothing power, "What are you talking about? Papa How are the people in the Qi family?"

Yao Zai'er froze all over, and the place on the top of his head that was touched had a more obvious sense of existence, which made him unable to think at all, and couldn't even hear what Lance was asking, so he could only nod indiscriminately as a cover-up.

I was very flustered, strange... He was not like this before, Lance often did these actions, but he had never been so nervous like now!He even... suddenly didn't dare to get close to that person!

Lance's heart was also beating a little fast. Due to the outsiders in the hall, he resisted the urge to hug the young man who was close at hand.

Thinking of the little guy who asked me to kiss him like a baby, my heart started to itch.

Well, now he feels very hopeless that he doesn't need the other party's request at all, and he can take the initiative to stick to it!

The author has something to say: Yao Zaier: "No, don't come here..."

Lance: "Huh? Don't you want to kiss and hug? Come, hug first, then kiss again. Whatever you want, I will satisfy you."
