Li Shu's eyebrows softened, and he said softly, "Nothing, I just missed you right after we separated."

The tips of Howie's ears turned slightly red, and his eyes became a little more vague.

Seeing him like this, Li Shu, who had originally just been expressing his true feelings, suddenly became a little more malicious. He leaned closer and asked softly, "Did you miss me?"

There were several agitated cries of star beasts coming from Huo Wei's video, and Li Shu looked a little worried.

"Hmm? I heard the soldiers shouting over there. Did something happen?"

"Is there any danger? Do you need ground support?"

He asked the question quickly and urgently, and his brows, which had just relaxed, couldn't help but frown slightly again.

Seeing him like this, Howie looked distressed, coughed lightly and began to explain.

"Well, I'm in the operation room. You called me so suddenly that I thought you had something to say. I didn't even have time to turn off the external link microphone."

Li Shu's voice suddenly stopped. After a long while, his face turned red and he abruptly hung up the video.

After putting away the laptop, he covered his face with his hands and felt extremely ashamed for a moment.

Although it was not the first time that he confessed his longing for Howie, this time it was heard by so many people.

Li Shu felt as if his breathing was about to stagnate for a moment.

A new video message popped up on the light brain on his wrist. Li Shu hung up without even wanting to read it. After a long while, his heated brain finally calmed down a little.

The fatigue caused by the continuous use of supernatural powers has also been slightly relieved.

His expression became firm again and he sat up from the bed and prepared to go out to check on the situation of Da Technology.

Just as he pushed open the door, a message suddenly popped up on the light brain on his wrist.

Li Shu subconsciously looked over and saw the latest message that Huo Wei had just sent.

"I missed you, too."

Although it was just a simple text message, Li Shu felt as if he was being embraced by Huo Wei.

His low, pleasant voice whispered his thoughts softly in his ear.

Just thinking about this made the tips of his ears turn slightly red.

Huo Ran, who had come over to look for Li Shu, happened to see his posture and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Well, are you busy?"

Li Shu's cheeks flushed slightly, but she quickly returned to her work state. After calming down, she looked at him suspiciously: "Brother, what's the matter with you coming here now?"

Huo Ran took a deep breath and said, "It's not a big deal. I only know a little about Azure Star. You suddenly asked me to be the acting planetary governor. I didn't refuse because I didn't want to lose face for you."

"At this time, I always have to make more preparations for what I promised."

His expression was a little thoughtful. "What plans do you have for the future development of Azure Star?"

Li Shu paused for a moment, then subconsciously thought of the planet in his previous life.

"I just hope that this planet can be peaceful and remain blue forever."

Huo Ran's expression was somewhat thoughtful. "Stay away from war and dedicate yourself to environmental protection? That's a good direction."

Li Shu looked a little dumbfounded, as if he didn't expect that his casual remark would turn into such two high-sounding words in Huo Ran's mouth.

However, these two policies do match the direction he wants, so they cannot be said to be wrong.

Seeing Huo Ran thinking about a future development strategy for Azure Star, Li Shu suddenly thought of something and whispered, "Brother, maybe you should come with me to see a companion."

Huo Ran looked a bit bewildered: "Hmm? What companions?"

Li Shu had obviously decided to keep the secret to the end. He shook his head and refused to say what it was, which made Huo Ran look even more surprised.

The two walked together towards the research department. On the way, Li Shu looked at Huo Ran with some curiosity.

"Well... maybe it's a little abrupt for me to ask this question, but big brother and Miss Alice..."

Huo Ran's expression froze for a moment, which made Li Shu a little confused: "Huh? I heard from Chen Liang that Miss Alice's reaction at that time was not bad."

Huo Ran rubbed his fingertips slightly: "Well...it is indeed true, but after all, we haven't seen each other for many years, and many habits and lifestyles have changed."

"The most important thing is..."

He looked a little distressed, as if he was at a loss: "Aiyu, she seems to have a hard time getting close to me."

He looked very frustrated when he said this. He was obviously the head of the Huo family, and almost all the younger generations in the Huo family obeyed him.

He even has many younger brothers and sisters outside who are being taken care of by him, and these people all admire and respect him immensely.

The only exception is his own daughter. Because he was absent from her life for so many years, the sense of estrangement between the two of them is completely impossible to eliminate.

Huo Ran was obviously a little anxious. He desperately wanted to restore his relationship with Huo Aiyu and let her enjoy the happiness of having both parents around, but the result was just the opposite.

She seemed to be very resistant to this man who suddenly appeared in her life. She seemed very uneasy and sometimes even attacked him inadvertently.

When Huo Ran saw Alice smiling sweetly at Chen Liang, he looked worried as he went to send Chen Liang off to take off with Huo Wei.

An emotion called jealousy burned Huo Ran's heart madly.

He now looked like a failure, a failed father who couldn't communicate normally with his daughter...

Li Shu's brows furrowed slightly, as if he was unsure how to deal with this situation.

After a long while, when they were almost approaching the laboratory, Li Shu finally spoke carefully.

"I've never had children, so I'm not sure what your feelings are like."

"I'm also an orphan. Logically speaking, I don't understand what Xiao Aiyu is thinking right now."

"But on the contrary, I seem to be able to sense what she is thinking."

Huo Ran looked over with some confusion. Li Shu pursed her lips and said, "She is rejecting the foreign object that has penetrated her life."

Huo Ran looked anxious: "I am not a foreign object in her life..."

Li Shu shrugged: "I'm sorry to describe you like this, but I think, for her..."

"You disappeared so completely that no one dared to mention her father."

"Then suddenly one day, a man appears and says he is her father. She will definitely feel a little resistant."

"Besides, you're too anxious."
