Will Will

For things that cannot be explained, Shuichuan people have always been accustomed to follow their own feelings, and their feelings are not wrong.The crown prince's spaceship dedicated to Qi'ao slowly lifted off from the landing tower of the empire. Standing beside Qi'ao, the captain of the crown prince's guard, You Ta, and the deputy official, Duan Duan, looked at their extremely noble prince in puzzlement. Your Highness, I don't understand why His Highness went to pick up His Highness Mansangzi's son in person.

Although they all knew that His Highness the Crown Prince had a private chat with His Highness Mang Sangzi's son Xuanyuan Xing all night, this should not be enough to make His Highness have such a different attitude towards Xuanyuan Xing.It will take a long time for the people of Shuichuan to truly and sincerely accept a stranger from the outsider, and even treat them sincerely.I think His Highness Chi and Shangguan Nong of the Mangxie Federation became friends after seven or eight years of contact.His Highness's behavior at this moment is really puzzling.

Uta looked at Fang Duan, who had the same doubts in his eyes.But as Qi Ao's second most trusted person, even if the two have many doubts, they will not ask too many questions, and will only obey unconditionally.Because that is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince whom they want to treat sincerely.But they will pay close attention to the movements of that Mr. Xuanyuan Xing. His Highness trusts that person, but they don't.

It's not that Qi'ao didn't feel the doubts in his two most powerful subordinates, but he won't explain much.Even though he is the crown prince and the master of those two people in a certain sense, he will not use his status to force them to trust Xuanyuan Xing.For the people of Shuichuan, trust is not obtained by coercion.He believes that one day in the future, Xuanyuan Xing will gain the trust of Youta and Fang Duan, and that will happen sooner or later.The most important thing is, no matter whether Youta and Fang Duan accept Xuanyuan Xing or not, as long as he accepts, they will be loyal to him and treat Xuanyuan Xing differently, which is enough.

Qi Ao didn't bring too many people with him, besides Youta and Fang Duan, which he had to take with him when he went out, he also brought more than a dozen guards.Accompanied by several federal soldiers sent by Xuanyuan Zhan, he really wanted to know what kind of thoughts Qi Ao had towards his son.The unruly Shuichuan man suddenly cared so much for his son, which made people suspicious.

After all, I just went to the sky to pick up Xuanyuan Xing, so there were not too many people in the entourage.Xuanyuan Zhan was still worried, he sent a message to his son, but as Faribu said, Xuanyuan Xing didn't answer at all, and ET answered.As Xuanyuanxing's intelligent assistant, ET will never stop Xuanyuanxing from working, so it is very necessary to send someone to pick him up.

In a room of the embassy, ​​Lu Bupo poured a cup of fragrant tea, and invited a man who was restless to drink tea and relax by the way.Tea is very precious in the Mangxie Federation. It was Lu Bupo who taught the Mangxie people how to grow and use this kind of thing.Of course, the tea here is definitely different from the tea on the ancient earth.After Xuanyuan Zhan sat down, Lu Bupo pushed the teacup in front of the other party, and then comforted him with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, it's not a big deal just to pick up the stars. You're nervous."

Xuanyuan Zhan's brows were frowned: "Why is he going to pick up Xingxing? Xingxing doesn't know him well."

Lu Bupo took a sip of tea, breathed out comfortably, and then said: "Xing Xing is not familiar with him, but Xing Xing wants to strengthen their main light-brain defense system in Yilan City. If it were me, I would also fiercely Flattering Xing Xing. Well, well, it would be great if Xing Xing and this bastard-haired highness can develop into good friends like Chi and I. This will be more beneficial to the close relationship between the two countries. Qi Ao is the future Your Majesty."

Xuanyuan Zhan, who understood what the emperor meant, still couldn't rest assured, he reminded in a deep voice: "Xiao Po, don't forget that Xing Xing's physique is the same as yours."

"What?" Lu Bupo didn't understand.

Xuanyuan Zhan pursed his lips, and explained unwillingly: "Xing Xing has a fetal cavity in his body."

Lu Bupo blinked, and the next moment, the tea in his mouth sprayed out, Xuanyuan Zhan hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand and took out a handkerchief to wipe Lu Bupo's mouth.

"Cough cough cough..." Lu Bupo, who was choked, pointed at Xuanyuan Zhan and was speechless for a long time.After finally getting out of breath, he growled with a flushed face, "What are you thinking! I really admire you, why would you think of that!" He was about to faint.

"The stars are so big. Bah, bah, it's not this. How can you make such a simple thing so complicated?! Do you think Qi'ao might feel that way about the stars? My God, Qi'ao's Is it okay to be older than you, even if he is still unmarried, he won't be interested in Xing Xing, a young child, right? Xing Xing is a minor here!"

Rolling his eyes at the worrying Xuanyuan Zhan, Lu Bupo drank a big mouthful of tea, suppressing his shock.But Xuanyuan Zhan's half face twitched even more.

"The average lifespan of people in Shuichuan is 160 years old. People with higher abilities live longer. Qi Ao has a ruby ​​on his head." That means the most advanced abilities.

Now Lu Bupo didn't even bother to roll his eyes at the other party, and said, "Don't make this simple matter so complicated. First, Xing Xing's emotional intelligence has not yet been enlightened, so it is impossible to fall in love with Qi Ao; second, Qi Ao The Australian family is the crown prince and an "old man" and it is impossible for him to fall in love with Xing Xing; third, how could they have that kind of affection after they have only met several times; finally! Do you think that even if Qi Ao fell in love with Xing Xing, he might Are you with the stars?"

Half of Xuanyuan Zhan's face twitched.Intermarriage is not allowed among the four countries in the sub-Mu galaxy, which is a matter recognized by the interstellar system.It's not that the four countries don't allow it, but that their genes don't match at all, and it's impossible to produce offspring.Just as it is impossible for a bird and a beast to "marry".

Half of Xuanyuan Zhan's face didn't twitch so much anymore.Lu Bupo put his empty teacup in front of Xuanyuan Zhan and asked the other party to pour tea for him, as a punishment for the other party being so scared that he choked.After Xuanyuan Zhan honestly filled him with tea, he said, "What we have to worry about is not such an absolutely impossible thing, but the talent of the stars."

Xuanyuan Zhan looked over.

"Xing Xing is very simple, but Qi Ao is an experienced crown prince. I am afraid that Xing Xing will not be able to withstand Qi Ao's flickering and reveal all his technologies to Qi Ao. These are all federal secrets."

Half of Xuanyuan Zhan's face became solemn, this is indeed a problem.Lu Bupo said: "When Xing Xing comes back, you bring him here, and you have to drag him here too. I have to remind him."

Xuanyuan Zhan nodded.

Not knowing that his actions made the two fathers have other thoughts, Qi'ao's heart was also flying along with the spaceship that lifted off.Thinking of seeing Xuanyuan Xing soon, he was very happy, an inexplicable joy.That night he saw Xuanyuanxing's genius, which made him especially admired, which was his weakness.What made him even more unforgettable was that Xuanyuan Xing was willing to use such conditions in exchange for his forgiveness.It would be great if Xuanyuanxing was from Shuichuan.Qi Ao felt such emotion again.The Empire desperately needs such talents.

Looking at the person who had been standing in front of the surveillance window and had no intention of sitting down, Fang Duan said, "His Royal Highness, do you need us to contact Mr. Xuanyuan Xing and tell us to pick him up?" It seems that His Highness didn't let anyone inform Mang Xie of the main ship. that person.

Qi Ao said without looking back: "No need. Mr. Xuanyuanxing may not have time to receive our notice. Contact the captain of the main ship Mangxie directly. Master Xuanyuan should have told them that we are coming."

"Yes."

Fang Duan went to contact the captain, Qi Ao checked his clothes from the reflection of the surveillance window, it was as decent as usual, but he tidied it up again.Youta has no doubts about this. People from Shuichuan have always paid attention to their appearance, and it is normal for His Highness to do so.

Not long after, news came from the spaceship that it was approaching the main ship Mang Xie.Qi Ao did not sit on the seat and wait for the spaceship to enter the main ship, but strode towards the exit, looking a little eager.The doubt bubbles in Youta and Fang Duan's hearts began to bubble up again, after all, they had never seen His Highness so eager to meet a "stranger".The two who hadn't paid much attention to Xuanyuanxing felt that they should pay attention to that person.

The spacecraft entered the receiving compartment of the main ship steadily.After the door of the spaceship opened, Qi Ao came out.Captain Zuo Lun came to greet him with the main personnel on the main ship.Indicating the purpose of his trip, Qi Ao directly asked, "Where is Mr. Xuanyuan Xing now?"

A look of embarrassment appeared on Zuo Lun's resolute face: "Your Highness, no one is allowed to disturb Xing Xing when he is working. I have received instructions from His Highness Mang Sangzi and Master Xuanyuan, but before Xing Xing's permission, I will You can't enter his studio, let alone disturb him. And, I can't enter either."

The polite smile on Qi Ao's face disappeared, and he asked a question that puzzled everyone: "Captain Zuo Lun, do you call Mr. Xuanyuan Xing 'Xing Xing'?" This should only be shouted by the closest people Just like in the empire, only the father and mother would call him by his name.

Fang Duan and Youta were stunned, even Zuo Lun was stunned, this question is very strange.But Zuo Lun replied politely: "We all call Xing Xing that way. Children who are younger than Xing Xing will call him 'Brother Xing Xing'."

"No one calls him 'Xuanyuan Xing'?"

I don't understand why this weird His Majesty insists on this issue, Zuo Lun tried his best to recall it from a friendly standpoint between the two countries, and then said: "Yes, but not many. Everyone on the ship shouted that Not only that, we rarely call the children of His Highness Mansangzi by their full names. "Is that so?No wonder he didn't hear Xuanyuanxing's full name called by members of the mission from the Mangxie Federation.A thought slipped through Qi'ao's mind, he stopped entangled in this question, and instead said: "Wangwei will arrive soon, for the safety of the stars, we have to bring him back to the ground. The job of bringing me to the stars to the room, and I will persuade him."

Ah!Zuo Lun was stunned for a few seconds.What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince call Xing Xing?Also, why did he ask me to take him to disturb Xingxing's work in such a natural tone?Even though he knew that the people of Shuichuan treated strangers in such a way, Captain Zuo Lun, who loved their little stars like all the people of Mangxie Federation, was not happy, and this was directly reflected on his face.

Youta and Fang Duan had more doubts in their hearts, but what His Highness has to do is what they have to do.As an adjutant, Fang Duan took a step forward and said: "His Royal Highness personally came to pick up Mr. Xuanyuan Xing back to the ground, which is enough to show that His Highness attaches great importance to the friendly relations between the two countries. Does Captain Zuo Lun still need to think about it?"

Of course it has to be considered.You are looking for stars!Besides, shouldn't we be grateful that your highness personally came to pick up the stars?I was proud in my heart that I used an idiom correctly, although Zuo Lun didn't want these proud peacocks (Yaoyao said) to disturb Xingxing's work, but he had already received the teacher's order and it was not easy to stop him.However, he glanced at Fang Duan, who made him angry, and said to Qi Ao resolutely: "I can take His Highness to Xing Xing's studio, but His Highness's entourage must stay, Xing Xing's studio has never allowed 'outsiders' Enter."

Sparks immediately appeared in the eyes of Youta and Fang Duan.This man is so rude!Qi Ao was also very displeased with the disrespect in Zuo Lun's words, the expression on his face immediately turned cold, showing alienation from "outsiders".

But even though he was very unhappy, Qi Ao still remembered the purpose of this trip.He turned back and said to the people behind him: "Fang Duan, Youta, you stay here. I'll go pick up the stars."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Lead the way." Without looking at Zuo Lun, Qi Ao raised his foot and walked forward.Zuo Lun, who was not afraid of offending His Majesty, knew the people of Shuichuan quite well, took Qi Ao to Xuanyuanxing's studio, and behind him, a person's angry eyes wanted to poke a hole in his body.Zuo Lun strode forward without pain, once again contemptuous of the Shuichuan people's small belly.Staring at the disrespectful slanted man, Fang Duan really wanted to summon his holy beast to pounce on that man and bite off a piece of that man's flesh.

Without taking the opportunity to visit the internal structure of the main ship of the Mangxie Federation, Qi Ao perfectly maintained the elegance of Crown Prince Shuichuan and moved forward side by side with Zuo Lun.Taking the elevator to a hatch in the center of the main ship, Qi Ao stopped following Zuo Lun's footsteps.

"Your Highness, this is Xing Xing's studio." After finishing speaking, Zuo Lun took out the communicator and dialed a number.Qi Ao, who was a little taller than Zuo Lun, clearly saw that the number he pressed was XXX99653.The displeasure towards Zuo Lun's rudeness along the way instantly turned into anticipation of seeing Xuanyuan Xing soon, Qi'ao had a faint smile on his face, of course, it wasn't smiling at Zuo Lun.

After a few beeps, the communicator answered, and the person who appeared above the communicator was Xuanyuan Xing's virtual avatar, but before Qi Ao could make a sound, the voice coming out of the communicator was not what he wanted to hear.

"Hi, the boss is working. I'm ET, the boss' assistant. What's the matter, Captain Zuo Lun?"

"ET, please tell Xing Xing that the Grand Palace of the Shuichuan Empire is here, and he needs to be brought back to the ground. The situation is urgent."

"The boss is working, no one is allowed to disturb him."

"ET, now is an extraordinary time, please tell the stars."

One person interjected into Zuo Lun's words: "Please tell Xing Xing that Qi Ao is coming to pick him up at the door."

Zuo Lun glanced at Qi Ao, feeling strange in his heart.

"Wait a minute, I'm trying to tell the boss."

Qi Ao was a little anxious, but also a little happy. The reason why Xing Xing was so serious and had no time to answer the communication was because of him.Thinking of this, Qi Ao's smile became more obvious.As for whether it is appropriate for him to call the other party "Xing Xing", Qi Ao didn't think about it.

While the two were waiting for news from ET, something happened that shocked Zuo Lun.The closed cabin door of the studio was opened, and a clear and pleasant voice came from the communicator: "Your Highness, come in, I'm inside."

"Star?!" Zuo Lun exclaimed.

"Ah, Uncle Zuo Lun, let His Highness come in."

Zuo Lun was dumbfounded, so easy?But the other party has cut off the communication with him.Before Zuo Lun could make a sound, the people around him had already stepped into the studio, and then the hatch of the studio was closed.

There was a row of question marks above Zuo Lun's head, staring at the closed hatch again, Zuo Lun immediately dialed the communicator of one of them after being stunned for ten minutes.

"Mr. Xuanyuan, I want to report a very strange thing to you."

■

Qi Ao who entered the studio did not recklessly walk into the area full of various instruments and equipment, but just stood at the door.After entering the studio, his eyes were fixed on the person who was buried in front of an optical computer.

"Your Highness, come here, I can't turn back now."

Accompanied by Xuanyuanxing's voice, a robot quickly moved in front of Qi'ao: "Your Highness, please follow me."

Looking at the robot in surprise, Qi Ao did not disturb Xuanyuan Xing, but quietly followed the robot. ET brought Qi Ao to Xuanyuan Xing's side, and pulled a chair over. Qi Ao sat down, and the first thing he saw was not the optical brain screen in front of Xuanyuan Xing, but Xuanyuan Xing's face.His brows were visibly tightened, the man had lost weight, and his face was much paler than when he saw him that night.

A water cup appeared in front of Qi Ao, Qi Ao came to his senses, it was ET.He took the water glass and said thank you. ET glanced at Xuanyuanxing, and whispered, "Boss is stuck at work again, please keep quiet."

"Okay." Different from the alienation towards strangers, Qi Ao generously gave ET a smile, and at the same time praised ET's cleverness, this must be designed by the stars. ET walked away, sat down at the other end of Xuanyuanxing, and picked up a photobook.At this time, Xuanyuan Xing said: "Connect 12 light tracks to 17 light tracks."

"Already connected, it will take about 40 seconds."

"Send me the data of track 19."

"immediately."

Seemingly forgetting the existence of Qi'ao, Xuanyuanxing directed ET to help him work.These terms are strange and familiar to Qi Ao.Strange because he didn't understand these things, and familiar because the conversation with Xuanyuan Xing that night gave him a shallow understanding of these professional terms.

"There is a problem with the data of 24 light tracks, please check again."

"Yes. It takes about 1 minute to connect and 10 minutes to check."

After taking a sip of water, Qi Ao lowered his head, it wasn't water, it seemed to be the "cocoa" of Mang Xie Xing.It wasn't Qi'ao's favorite flavor, but he took another sip.

Seeing Xuanyuanxing's gloved fingers crackling on the optical keyboard and running various complicated programs at dizzying speed, Qi'ao looked at Xuanyuanxing with a little more tenderness and gratitude in his eyes.I don't know why, seeing Xuanyuan Xing so focused on his affairs, forgetting to sleep and eat, Qi Ao is very happy, and he also has a satisfaction that he can't explain.

Typing a set of commands on the keyboard, Xuanyuanxing dragged the swivel chair under his buttocks to get to another large optical brain.But when he turned around, the sudden extra person in front of him startled him.When he saw the face of the visitor clearly, he realized that Qi Ao was here.

"Your Highness! I'm sorry, I forgot you were here." Xuanyuan Xing grabbed his head with both hands.

The hands that abused the hair were grabbed, the very apologetic Xuanyuan Xing saw the person in front of him with a smile and said to him: "Thank you, Xing Xing."

Star?Xuanyuan Xing was stunned.

Qi Ao raised his hand to straighten Xuanyuan Xing's messy long hair, took advantage of Xuanyuan Xing's temporary absence from work and said, "Xing Xing, Wangwei is coming, considering your safety, I'll take you back to the ground."

Xuanyuan Xing, who was still at a loss for what Qi Ao called him, called out in doubt, "Your Highness?"

Seemingly not understanding why Xuanyuan Xing was at a loss, Qi Ao said again: "Xing Xing, I'll take you back to the ground, the Wangwei people will arrive soon, it's not safe here."

It's really not that I heard it wrong!Xuanyuan Xing's cheeks were inexplicably hot because of Qi Ao's address.Habitually scratching his head, Xuanyuan Xing suppressed the doubt and surprise in his heart, and said awkwardly: "Your Highness, I can't leave here now."

"It's not safe here." Qi Ao smoothed Xuanyuan Xing's messy hair again.

Uh, he remembered that His Majesty seemed to be older than Dad in the information, His Majesty probably regarded me as a child.Thinking that he was a minor in the eyes of everyone, Xuanyuan Xing nodded in his heart for his guess, and was very happy.His Majesty has completely accepted me, that's great.But he scratched his head again: "No, I can't leave now, or all previous efforts will be wasted. Your Highness, thank you for coming to pick me up. I think it should be very safe here. Didn't the Wangwei people come to negotiate peace? What will happen to me."

"Boss, do tracks 12 and 17 need to be integrated?"

"what!"

Thinking of his work, Xuanyuan Xing hurriedly dragged the swivel chair to the light brain he was going to just now, and said quickly: "Your Highness, I will be fine, I will go back after I finish these. Thank you."

After saying this, Xuanyuanxing fell silent, his eyes fixed on the screen of the optical computer, and his fingers became dazzled again.

"Boss, the data of 12 light tracks can be completely discarded."

"Integrate 17 light tracks."

"Yes. It will take about 20 minutes."

After gazing at Xuanyuan Xing for a long time, Qi Ao stood up quietly and left the busy area along the passage when ET brought him here.Stopping at the door, Qi Ao took out his communicator.

"Fang Duan, I want to stay here and ask Foti to preside over the meeting for me before I go back. Contact me as soon as the Wangwei people enter the sky above Elan. Also, send me my photobook."

Without explaining his strange behavior to his adjutant, Qi Ao found the button to open the door and pressed it. Outside the door, Zuo Lun was still standing there.

"Captain Zuo Lun, Xing Xing cannot go away for the time being, I will wait for him here."

Without giving Zuo Lun a chance to react, Qi Ao pressed the button again, and the door closed.

Five minutes later.

"What?! Your Highness, you cannot stay here!"

Sensing the seriousness of the situation, Zuo Lun hurriedly contacted the ground again, this time he was not contacting Master Xuanyuan, but His Highness Mang Sangzi.Why does His Highness stay here!

In the studio, Qi Ao sent another message to his father, explaining why he stayed here, and then quietly returned to sit beside Xuanyuan Xing, picked up the cup of cocoa he hadn't finished, Looking at Xuanyuanxing's busy figure, he smiled lightly.
