I'll retire when I'm done

Fu Heisher struggled to open his eyes from the dizziness of a splitting headache. The fatigue caused by the exhaustion of the boat was still lingering in his limbs and bones, and he had no intention of dissipating. If he hadn't noticed the strange breath, he might be I can lie on this overly soft bed forever.

"woke up?"

"Ah."

Fu Heisher got up from the bed with a rustle, and slowly moved his two legs that seemed to be filled with lead off the bed. He sat on the edge of the bed, bent his body with his elbows on his knees, and his hair was in front of his eyes. An ominous black shadow appeared.

The man stared at the group of soft human cubs lying on Baihong's lap with an unclear expression.

"What is this on you?"

"I'm sorry, this is your son."

"Eh--"

Fu Heisher slowly draws out the ending sound, the meaning is unknown.

The child has fried black hair and beautiful dark eyes, with two young palms tightly grasping the only thing he can rely on, shivering at his aunt's side and looking out a little, carefully and curiously looking at the man in front of him .

The child's brows and eyes are immature and his facial features are supple. Although the lines have not yet opened yet, the outlines are already clearly discernible. If he stands with this tall, broad-shouldered man, others will be able to guess the relationship between them at a glance.

But the obviously older one didn't care much about the cub who inherited his blood. Fu Heisher drooped his eyelashes, and when he looked at his own son, his eyes were almost cold, and there was not much warmth and tenderness in his eyes.

Beasts usually have a terrifying and strong sense of territory. Some people say that human beings have lost their bestiality and are different from natural animals, but some people say that human beings are just beasts with the appearance of civilization. Fuheshier has heard of both, but He has always been more inclined to the latter statement.

—Ordinary people are monkeys, conjurers are rubbish.

Fuheshier's territory division is quite precise, and the preciseness is a bit too simple, Hong, himself, and others.

All objects other than myself and Hong belong to the category of "Others", because it is barely a social animal that needs social communication and uses various means to ensure that it can live normally, so Fu Heisher will still show a little perfunctory mentality To memorize the names and definitions of others.

Fuheshier allows himself to live like a person, but it is only limited to the degree of "like a person" - the higher-level needs of human beings are more like props for simulating human beings, he does not need self , there is no need for a sense of security, and there is no need for deeper ties and links. Beasts only need instinct, wildness, appetite, filling their stomachs to survive, and ensuring that the other person in their own domain will not have problems. This is enough. .

"Ah, I remembered." Fu Heisher twitched the corner of his mouth, and showed a perfunctory smirk at his son: "I still chose the name, it's called Hui."

The boy shrank his neck reflexively, and hid himself in his aunt's arms.

"Shir..."

Bai Hong frowned slightly, and the corners of his soft mouth were slowly flattened, showing a disapproving arc.

She raised her hand to protect the boy's back and patted it reassuringly, her voice was already tinged with anger: "What are you doing?"

The young mother arched her back, her soft belly fitted to protect the fragile cub, and her fangs faintly revealed threats to her malevolent elder brother.

"I want to ask you this."

Fu Heisher's tone was cold: "You and this kid met for the first time, right? Why didn't I know that you still have a maternal side?"

"...he's just a kid."

Bai Hong frowned, and whispered slightly displeased.

Children are different.

One of the harbingers of the gradual destruction of the Age of Fire is that there have been no newborns for a long time. Countless worried believers knelt in the spiritual temple and caressed their flat bellies and prayed desperately to the gods, willing to pay any price just to hear the baby the cry of newborns;

And life on the sea is even more so. Whether it is a pirate who implements freedom or a navy that carries justice, everyone is emphasizing this point: children are hope and the future, and adults must take on the obligation to protect them. How to interpret the word justice, children must be protected.

And this child has another meaning to Bai Hong.

——This is her blood.

It is a true kinship that has never been expected, longed for, and never expected.

Even though Fu Heihui was not her own, the same blood indeed flowed through it.

For Bai Hong, the concept of family has always been vague. The parents who give birth to the body are not necessarily relatives, and the companions who have no blood relationship can also be the objects of giving back and life——

If Shi Er can barely bear the concept of family, then the appearance of this child is undoubtedly the real family that Bai Hong dreams of.

Raising a child just for herself - this feels too novel, too wonderful, Bai Hong never thought that she could be a perfect mother, but she didn't mind carrying the definition of a mother for this child.

The more she persisted and the more careful she was, the lower and more vigilant Fu Heisher's mood became.

The cub is keen. Fu Heihui stared at the creature named "Father" in front of him. He did not show the same tenderness and pity as his aunt. The way he stared at himself was not too different from those of the Zenyuan family. It was different—that wasn't the way he looked at his son, and he didn't even have the least suspicion. He just stared at himself with the coldest eyes, as if staring at an outsider who offended his territory.

It's just that when the members of the Chanyuan family looked at him, they still had the so-called reservedness of a big family, and Fu Heisher, who was used to going his own way, had no intention of restraining his emotions. He stared at his own son who was brought back by Bai Hong , Displeased emotions are almost overflowing.

Fu Heisher: "... Tsk."

So Hui realized that his dislike for his son was sincere.

"..."

The child curled his lips to suppress the disappointment and grievance, turned sideways and buried himself back in his warm embrace, and Bai Hong touched the top of his head, soothing him with a gentle voice.

"benefit?"

"No dad." The child muttered in a low voice, gripping Bai Hong's sleeve even tighter.

"I want my aunt."

"You're welcome, Dad doesn't want you either."

Fu Heisher showed a hypocritical smirk, and was slapped back by Baihong.

***

Because of taking care of the child's physical condition, Bai Hong decided to pack up before leaving the next morning.

Geng Tian left first because of the affairs of the Ability Special Service Section, and they were about to leave for Yokohama immediately. The "leader who can suppress the mad dogs of the port mafia" mentioned on the phone before had appeared. The details are vague, but he solemnly stated that it is a difficult target that probably no one can deal with except Bai Hong.

No matter how much she cared about her nephew, she couldn't completely let go of her work. Fortunately, the child was obedient enough to take the initiative to speak out amidst her aunt's slightly embarrassed expression, saying that it was perfectly fine for her to take care of herself by herself.The calm expression pretending to be strong was too cute, Bai Hong touched his little nephew's tender cheek, once again making sure if it was really all right.

The child took the initiative to grab his aunt's hand and let her touch his cheek, then nodded vigorously in her palm.

"OK."

He answered crisply.

Hui is different from his scumbag father who was unreliable since he was a child. He is an obedient and cute boy. On the night of the first day, the child originally had the last hope for his father that had not been completely destroyed. They slept together, but the man sat on the edge of the bed and stared at him condescendingly for more than a minute, making the back of his son's neck feel cold and shivering slightly, and then he showed a bright smile with white teeth.

... Then he stretched out his hand and picked up Fu Heihui.

The young Fu Heihui was horrified when he discovered his father's plan. It was not an attitude of taking care of the child honestly. This guy made it clear that he was throwing out the foreign cub that broke into his territory suddenly while his sister was not paying attention. ——Not to mention being a good father, Fu Heisher didn't even intend to be a human being. When the child was picked up, he suppressed tears and had a stubborn expression on his face unwilling to admit defeat. Seconds, and then angrily pressed the military communicator that my aunt hung around his neck just in case.

Fuhesher: "..."

Afterwards, Fu Heisher reflected that he probably underestimated Bai Hong's persistence. Less than a minute before and after Fu Heihui pressed the communicator, the door of his room was violently pushed open. The child raised his head with tears in his eyes, and saw him My aunt changed into a relatively loose robe and stood at the door. She didn't even have time to cover her eyes with white silk. Her thick black hair hung down her shoulders, and her pair of blue magic eyes shone brightly under the moonlight like demon spirits. Covered by the cloth, the anger in the eyes is extraordinarily vivid.

Fu Heisher carried his son with one hand and was stared at by Bai Hong without daring to move. He could only allow Bai Hong to rush over and snatch his nephew back into his arms.

Before he could open his mouth, he was slapped hard on the back of the head by his furious sister. The voice was clear and echoed long. The man hissed and covered his head, staring incredulously at Bai who turned his head and began to coax his nephew softly. Hong... and the child who was lying on her shoulder and started to cry silently.

"Megumi will sleep with me from today on."

Bai Hong didn't even look at his brother, and made his decision without looking back.

This kid is extremely insecure.

If you leave it to this father who is too casual, he will kill you sooner or later.

Bai Hong, who had never raised a child before, took on the heavy responsibility of raising the cubs conscientiously.

It was later proved that even Bai Hong somewhat underestimated the difficulty of raising children, and also overestimated the sense of security children need and their reliance on "mother" instincts.

The child who inherited the blood of Fu Heisher understood his father's concept of territory without a teacher, and the scope of division was also precise to the individual—people other than aunts were not needed, and a man named father was the object of hostility. The world composition of the game is so simple and crude.

After arriving in Yokohama, Tanada arranged for her a secluded and safe place to live, and the relevant personnel in charge of the Supernatural Secret Service Division personally selected and purchased all her daily needs. Considering her current situation, most of the work is done through video calls and the like. Discuss in the same way, and then give instructions on the spot to complete.

If the sense of security that children need is transformed into reality, the amount needed is terrifying. A normal child needs a lot of love and attention to grow up normally, and Hui has been a supportive child since birth. Props are sent around and never receive the love and attention that belongs to a child.

The feeling of emptiness is accumulated infinitely, and even the endless loneliness is not a problem until happiness cannot be understood.

But once you get a taste of being pampered, you also understand the definition of fear.

I don't want to go back to those days.

Never leave your aunt's side.

The child's possessiveness is silent and pure, while Hui's outburst is even more silent.

Occasionally, Bai Hong would have to find someone to help take care of his nephew because he worked late into the night. Usually, under such circumstances, the child would ignore other people, and stand obediently and stubbornly at the door with his toy in his arms, quietly waiting for his aunt to appear.

And during this period, if Baihong doesn't open the door or ignore him, the child will stand quietly at the door all night, like a well-behaved and loyal docile puppy, holding a terrifying persistence that ordinary people can't understand, waiting for him. The only response he expected.

After a few times of tossing around, Bai Hong was the first to choose to compromise. She is not good at discipline but quite good at doting, and she is unwilling to use the way she taught her subordinates to deal with her own children, so she simply chose not to disturb her work. Under the premise, try to meet Hui's requirements.

In the future, the staff who come to Bai Hong to discuss work can often see a pile of building blocks and other children's toys next to her seat. If Hui is not playing or reading, the child will usually hang on the white On Hong's body, he either sat in her arms and played with her aunt's hair or palms, or snuggled into her arms and slept obediently.

For those who were in contact with Bai Hong, there was nothing annoying about the major general's nephew except that he was a little too clingy. The annoying screaming and crying and other willful behaviors of ordinary children did not appear at all. For a child, he was a little too well-behaved, but because he never caused trouble to the major general himself, most people chose to ignore the existence of this child tacitly.

——Fuheshier was the first to see the problem.

Whether it's the blood relationship between father and son, or the secret empathy of the same kind, he has reached a small consensus with his son where no one is aware of it.

"When there are only the two of you outside, don't call me aunt, call me mother."

The boy raised his dark eyes and looked at his father with hostility.

"It will cause trouble to my aunt."

"Don't you understand, Hui?"

Fu Heisher showed a meaningful smile at his son.

"'Auntie' means that she may have belonged to no one, and 'mother' means that she at least once belonged to someone."

Men are persuasive.

"If you call me aunt at will, some people may subconsciously think that she came here alone to strike up a conversation... You don't want her to be snatched away by others, do you?"

It doesn't matter how the father-son relationship of the blood relationship is.

But there is one person who is very important to both of them.

——If you have to have an inseparable intimate partner who is connected by blood, one is enough.

The boy fiddled with the toy slightly.

The adult waited patiently, but after a while, he heard his son's response.

"it is good."
