After returning from Rose Nebula, Lin Xiaodong's life suddenly became busy.

He began to live broadcast for one to two hours a day according to the arrangement of the military department, to appease those who were paralyzed by brain worms and fell into an emotional vortex, and recorded many online songs more than nothing.

Although apart from being pleasant to listen to, these online songs are basically equivalent to none in terms of healing...

Time just passed by day by day.

The situation in the central star gradually stabilized. The Imperial Conference, which was originally respected by the royal family, gradually transitioned to the Federal Parliament. The words king and noble gradually disappeared from the mouths of the public, and were replaced by keywords such as "marshal" and "speaker". replace it.

Not long ago, Gu Xi had officially taken over the position of Marshal of the Federation.

By the way, the current speaker is Xu Feng's wife Lulu.

When she was still the eldest princess of the empire, Lulu's reputation had always been very good. When she was expelled from the royal family, many people spontaneously took to the streets to petition for her.

But now she has completely broken away from her noble status. After marrying Xu Feng, Lulu can be said to have completely abandoned the past.

She had just given birth to a pair of twins, and she was not yet confinement, so she directly contacted her former contacts to establish a post-war reconstruction foundation, and adopted thousands of orphans who were homeless due to brain worms. The central star is famous.

Because she is too busy with work, she has no time to take care of the children. She once rushed to Gu Xi's office to pat the table and asked Xu Feng to take annual leave to go home to nurse the child. For this, the whole military department had to admire this The madam's iron wrist—

You know, besides Lin Xiaodong, she is the first person who can persuade Gu Xi to change his mind!

Seeing this, Gu Xi simply pushed the boat along and helped her publicize it.After going back and forth like this, naturally the title of the first speaker also fell on her head.

"I can be regarded as a glorious family member," Xu Feng sighed, and said with a smile, "I married such a powerful wife and came home, and she said two days ago that I would resign and leave the army with you if I had the opportunity, and concentrate on returning home to be a full-time grandmother." Dad."

Gu Xi hooked his lips: "Then what do you think?"

"Actually, I didn't reject it too much. After all, Lulu is indeed much busier than me. There must be more sacrifices between husband and wife." Xu Feng thought for a while and said, "But I always feel... a little unimaginable."

"Can't imagine what?"

"It's the life of staying at home and raising children every day." Xu Feng laughed dryly, "I have seen the world with you anyway."

Gu Xi did agree with this point, if Xu Feng didn't have any ambitions, and didn't bother to argue with the old guys in the military department, he should have gone out to set up his own company by now, and the military rank is at least a lieutenant general.

"By the way," Xu Feng asked suddenly, "Why haven't you seen Xiaodong recently?"

Gu Xi paused for a second before answering him: "He's been sick for the past two days, so I'll let him recuperate at home."

"Is that so..."

Xu Feng was still thinking about going to visit Lin Xiaodong with Lulu some other day, but he didn't notice that when Gu Xi beside him was speaking, his expression was unnatural for a moment.

After parting with Xu Feng, Gu Xi looked down at his watch.

There are still four and ten minutes before the end of get off work.

Seeing this, he simply ordered the orderly to prepare the aircraft, planning to leave work early.

When I got home, as expected, the living room and kitchen were silent and dark.

Gu Xi turned on the light in silence, changed into his slippers, walked to the door of the bedroom, and took a look inside.

no one.

So he turned around and went to the bathroom, where the light was on.

The little mermaid leaned quietly in the bathtub filled with water, her eyes were closed as if she was in a deep sleep, but the calm water surface did not have the slightest ripple.

Gu Xi's breathing was wrong for some reason.

He pursed his lips tightly, walked quickly to Lin Xiaodong's side, and gently touched the little mermaid's cheek, the warm feeling immediately relieved him: "Why don't you go to sleep on the bed?"

"Well……?"

Hearing the sound, Lin Xiaodong raised his eyelids with some difficulty, and looked up at him in a daze.

"You're back." He yawned big, and naturally stretched out his hands towards Gu Xi, "Hug."

Gu Xi looked at him helplessly, but finally compromised.

It didn't feel good to hold the half-wet little mermaid in his arms, but he still had patience, and carefully dried the silver-white tail that seemed to be getting darker for some reason recently with a bath towel, and then put Lin Xiaodong carried her to the bed in the bedroom.

Before the man could let go, the little mermaid lay on his shoulder and fell asleep again.

Gu Xi stared at the lotus-white arm dangling in mid-air, and frowned involuntarily.

Of course he knew that Lin Xiaodong's lethargic state was very strange, and he had seen many experts and doctors before, but the mermaid's body was a completely unfamiliar field to them, and Lin Xiaodong had no symptoms before. Such an inexplicable weakening day by day... Gu Xi's mood has become more and more depressed recently, and it is also because of this reason.

When it was nearly nine o'clock in the evening, Lin Xiaodong finally woke up.

System: "Congratulations, you have set a new record."

Lin Xiaodong rubbed his sleep-swollen eyes, and asked blankly, "What record?"

"A record of being awake for no more than five hours a day," the system said.

Lin Xiaodong: "..."

He decides to take this to mean that the system is jealous that he eats and sleeps well.

"But to be serious," he said sternly, "Is my state related to the mermaid planet that was blown up before?"

The system said: "There is an [-]% possibility, yes."

"Sure enough," Lin Xiaodong muttered to himself, "but Gu Xi hasn't told me the truth until now, so is he really planning to keep it a secret forever?"

But this is obviously impossible.

He walked out of the bedroom and saw the man sitting on the sofa in the living room, concentrating on flipping through a tome that seemed obscure.Lin Xiaodong took a quick glance and found that they were basically legends and records about mermaids.

"What are you looking for?" He couldn't help asking.

Gu Xi's movements paused, and he quickly turned his head: "Are you awake?"

"Well," Lin Xiaodong came over, staring at the books on the table and asked again, "What are you looking for?"

"It's nothing, I just flipped through it occasionally out of curiosity." Gu Xi smiled, and closed the book in his hand as if nothing had happened, "I'll make noodles for you, I haven't eaten all day."

Ignoring the little mermaid's gaze fixed on him, he got up and left the living room.

But the smile on the man's face disappeared without a trace the moment his back was turned to Lin Xiaodong.

Impossible to find, he thought.

Gu Xi couldn't help becoming anxious. He had been studying Lin Xiaodong's situation for nearly half a month, and even set up a research team for this purpose, but there was no relevant record in any materials. Even if there was, it was basically It's all fiction and fiction.

Humans' understanding of the race of mermaids is ridiculously superficial

Feeling that the female worm in his body, which had been subdued for many days, seemed to be making a comeback again, Gu Xi, who was standing in front of the stove cutting tomatoes, took a deep breath, collected himself, and forgot the dazzling bright red on the battlefield in his memory, and continued silently with his head down. Started the action of the hand.

If it doesn't work...

Then he can only find that person.

"I knew you would come to me again."

In the bright closed room, Lu Xing "looked" at the man standing in front of him with a smile, and said briskly.

"Since you know my reason for coming, then be straightforward," Gu Xi said lightly, "About the mermaid, tell me everything you know."

"Are you ordering me?" Lu Xing sat upright on the chair and tilted his head, "But look at me now, I have nothing left, bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes, what else to worry about where?"

Gu Xi's eyes sank.

"what do you want?"

"I want... Well, let me think about it." Lu Xing lowered his head and took a sip of the hot tea at hand, the smile on his face deepened, "Wealth? I don't care for it. Power? I already have it. Freedom? Sounds tempting, but it doesn't seem that important to me."

He lowered his eyes and pretended to think for a moment, then raised his head, smiled and said to Gu Xi: "As expected, I still want to see him again, alone."

"Impossible." Gu Xi refused straight away, with a cold voice, "Don't even think about it."

"Then we don't have anything to talk about." Lu Xing raised his eyebrows, "Let's go slowly."

Gu Xi stood where he was, his eyes were as cold as a layer of frost.

Lu Xing and him looked at each other. The natural suppression of the brain worm by the mother worm made the young man's originally pale face even paler, and a thin layer of cold sweat involuntarily oozes from his forehead.

But he still gritted his back molars firmly, without making a sound, instead he raised the corners of his lips provocatively towards the man in front of him, as if silently mocking Gu Xi's helplessness.

"Marshal, please don't..."

The nurse next to him walked over in fear and said.

Although Lu Xing was rescued by them and recuperated for a period of time, the identity of the young man was the former prince of the empire after all, and a little carelessness would cause public opinion, so he could neither die nor let him live as recklessly as before , there are guards to take care of them when they go in and out. On the surface, they are caring and considerate, but in fact they are monitoring. This is also something that the military department acquiesces.

Win or lose, that's all.

After being stopped by the nurse, Gu Xi then withdrew his gaze.

He glanced at Lu Xing without any emotion, turned and left without saying anything.

After the man left, Lu Xing's tense body finally relaxed.

The young man exhaled slowly.

Until now, his hands on the table were still trembling slightly.

Although he was defeated in the confrontation, Lu Xing still firmly believed that Gu Xi would definitely agree to his conditions.

Because he has no choice.

However, even though Lu Xing was already mentally prepared, when he heard Lin Xiaodong's voice ringing in his ears again, he couldn't help but feel a wave of complicated emotions in his heart.

It might be called... "joy".

"Long time no see." said the little mermaid, "what's the matter with your eyes? Are you blind?"

"Yeah." Lu Xing replied gently, "But it's okay, there are some things that you can't see."

He sighed, and said with some regret: "It's just a pity, I can never see you smiling again."

Lin Xiaodong thought in his heart that this guy was so restless even when he was blind, and his sweet words were repeated one after another, no wonder he was fascinated by Noah, who was not deeply involved in the world.

He didn't intend to come, but Lu Xing still has a fragment of a good person card here. In order to complete the task, Lin Xiaodong can only endure the humiliation.

"You've lost a lot of weight," he said with a hint of worry in his voice, "Didn't they let you eat properly?"

Lu Xing laughed out loud.

"That's not true, Gu Xi won't abuse/treat prisoners," he joked, "But you also know that I'm blind now, even if I'm hungry, I can't find anything to eat, so I can only wait until mealtime." Fill the stomach."

After he finished speaking, Lin Xiaodong suddenly fell silent.

Lu Xing was a little puzzled. He heard a rustling sound coming from the front. Before he could ask what happened, the little mermaid suddenly grabbed his hand and put a small object in his palm.

Lu Xing touched it, it seemed like a lollipop?

"This is my favorite taste, and I have never been willing to eat it." In the dark, the soft voice said to him, "If you are really hungry, then take this cushion."

The young man froze for a moment, then lowered his head, and slowly clenched the candy in his hand.

"Those things I did to you before," he said softly, "do you really...don't hate me at all?"

Lin Xiaodong shook his head first, but soon remembered that Lu Xing couldn't see, and said again: "I don't hate it."

"……why?"

Lu Xing really couldn't understand the mermaid's thinking.

If he suffered such a betrayal, he would take revenge at all costs, and let that person also taste what it means to be let down, deceived, and trampled on.

But why Lin Xiaodong has never been disappointed with this world except for being sad from the beginning to the end?

"The queen told me about your past." The little mermaid whispered, "Although you are a liar and those nobles are also bad people, you have already been punished. Besides, the person who should really hate you is not I."

"He never forgave you. I think this is probably retribution."

Lu Xing's throat rolled up and down.

"You're right," he replied hoarsely after a long time, "This is indeed retribution. My retribution."

"Ding, good person card +1."

Lin Xiaodong smiled with satisfaction.

It seemed that she felt that her words were a bit harsh, and the little mermaid apologized to him very embarrassedly, but her tone was a little careless compared to before: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. Did it make you sad? "

Lu Xing silently shook his head.

He groped, slowly unwrapped the lollipop in his hand, and put it in his mouth.

Seeing the young man's suddenly distorted expression, the system couldn't help but ask, "What kind of smell did you give him?"

"Cucumber and durian flavor," Lin Xiaodong snorted softly, taking it for granted, "Dogs won't even eat it."

system:"…………"

You are still ruthless.
