Interstellar Art Soldier 21

Dean has never asked anyone for help in his life. It was really difficult for him to ask for help for the first time, but he couldn't just ignore Elman. Who else could help Elman except him?

Dean prepared himself mentally and was about to ask Tao Yuan to give Elman one last chance when a tall figure suddenly appeared beside him.

Tao Yuan and Dean turned their heads to look over at the same time.

"What are you talking about here?" Zuo Lei looked back and forth between Tao Yuan and Dean.

"We, we're talking about..." Tao Yuan wanted to answer, but suddenly remembered that Dean hadn't gotten to the point yet, except for apologizing for Elman. Then he appeared. "We haven't had time to say anything yet."

"What nonsense do you want to talk to him?" Zore frowned and looked at Dean with cold eyes, as if he was interrogating a prisoner.

"I, I wanted to tell him about Elman." Dean explained quickly.

"You two brothers, don't say anything in front of me and Luo Xi anymore. Otherwise, I won't show any mercy." Zuo Lei said coldly.

"He really hasn't said anything yet." Tao Yuan walked over, took Zorei's hand, and used his eyes to signal him not to be so angry. Then he turned to look at Dean and said, "I know what you want to tell me. I can answer you directly. As long as Elman doesn't come to me alone again, I won't release the recording. This is my last chance for him, considering you, his brother, can't tolerate it. If he doesn't cherish this opportunity, don't blame me."

"Thank you." Dean sincerely thanked Tao Yuan.

After Tao Yuan finished speaking, he pulled Zuo Lei away.

Dean watched the two people leave, and this time he was really numb and didn't feel anything.

"Go and do your own thing. I'll tell you what happened when we get back." Tao Yuan pushed Zuo Lei, telling him to go and do his own thing, then turned around and quickly boarded the spaceship.

Zuo Lei watched Tao Yuan enter the hatch of the spaceship before turning and leaving.

Two hours later, the spacecraft took off and returned to the C61 planet base under the protection of the special operations team.

This time, the encounter was a close call, with no casualties, and every artist was sent home safely. So the performances that needed to go on must continue.

In the absence of war, each fleet must spend at least three months at the border each year. After that, they can return to the Imperial Star. Upon returning to the Imperial Star, the soldiers will have other missions, and the majority of their time will be spent training and performing. As for the art soldiers, even after returning to the Imperial Star, they have many performances waiting for them. They will perform not only at their own base, but also at bases on other planets surrounding the Imperial Star, so they will be very busy.

A month later, the Lion Fleet began to return to the Imperial Star.

After returning to the Imperial Star, Tao Yuan and Zuo Lei will be able to get married immediately. Both families have made all the necessary preparations and are just waiting for them to arrive.

Tao Yuan returned to the dormitory for the arts soldiers from Zuo Lei's room. When he entered the dormitory and passed the leisure area, he heard heart-wrenching cries. He looked over in confusion and saw a group of people gathered there. Although he couldn't see who they were surrounding, from the voice, it should be Elman.

Tao Yuan walked up to Lin Ya and asked, "What happened?"

"He just received news that something seemed to have happened to his brother." Lin Ya said in a low voice.

"Didn't his brother return to the Imperial Star a long time ago? What could have happened?" Tao Yuan wondered.

"I only vaguely heard something about a drill or something, and I don't know the details, but seeing him crying so sadly, it must be something serious."

Tao Yuan lowered his head and thought, while the probability of an accident occurring during an exercise is small, accidents do happen during practice. Dean is a civilian, so the likelihood of an accident occurring during an exercise should be even smaller. However, if someone is truly unlucky enough, accidents are inevitable no matter what.

"Let's go and stop watching other people having fun." Tao Yuan turned and left after saying that. He and Dean had no enemies nor any friendship. They just talked once, so he would neither gloat over his misfortune nor care about him any further.

Lin Ya turned around and left with Tao Yuan. Although they usually didn't get along with Elman and the others, he couldn't do such an inhumane thing as watching others laugh at their loved ones when something happened to them.

In the few days before returning to the Imperial Star, Elman refused to eat, drink or sleep, and his condition became worse and worse. The squad leader had no choice but to send him to the medical department for nutrient fluid infusion.

Two days before reaching the Imperial Star, Elman received news that his brother had woken up and survived. He began to cheer up, eat and sleep on time, wanting to recover to the best condition as soon as possible to see his brother, and not wanting his brother to worry about him.

After returning to Dixing, the first thing they did after being welcomed by their two families was to go to the Military Marriage Department of the Dixing Marriage Bureau to register their marriage. All the materials had been prepared, and the two of them just needed to be there in person to sign.

After registering, the two families went to the hotel to have dinner together to celebrate, and then all they had to do was wait for the wedding day.

The two are now a legal couple. After dinner, Madam Ruiya took them back to their own house, because she knew that they were a newlywed couple and would definitely want to live in their own world.

Tao Yuan returned to his and Zuo Lei's new home for the first time. He looked around happily and curiously. He thought it was even more beautiful than in the animated pictures. He had to admire Madam Ruiya's taste and vision.

Madam Ruiya held Tao Yuan and said, "Alright, alright, this will be your home from now on. You have plenty of time to look around. When you get tired of it, I'll help you redecorate everything. We just returned to Emperor Star today, and you must be tired. Get a good rest tonight. We'll be leaving first."

"I'll see you off." Tao Yuan said.

"No need. We are not strangers. Why should we give you gifts? We can just walk on our own." Madam Ruiya said with a smile.

"Then let Uncle Zuo Lei see you off." Tao Yuan felt that even though they were his parents, they were already married and had their own families, so he still had to do what he should do.

"You still call him uncle?" Madam Ruiya and Isa looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"I, I just called it casually..." Tao Yuan blurted out without thinking too much about it. Instead, he felt a little embarrassed when the two mothers laughed at him.

"Then let Zuo Lei take us there. You go back to your room to rest and go home for dinner tomorrow morning." Madam Ruiya patted Tao Yuan's hand, then turned around and left with Isa.

Tao Yuan watched them walk down the stairs, then to the edge of the corridor. After seeing everyone in the hall below walk out of the door, he turned and walked deeper into the corridor, returning to his and Zuo Lei's room to take a shower and prepare for bed.

Although Tao Yuan was used to living in a big house, the decoration and layout of this house were very much to his liking, and it also included the thoughts of his two mothers, so he liked it very much.

He soaked in a jacuzzi as big as a swimming pool, closed his eyes and relaxed, enjoying himself. He didn't feel very tired at first, but after relaxing like this and soaking in the warm water, he felt like he had no strength left.

Tao Yuan didn't open his eyes when he heard the sound of the door opening.

Zuo Lei took off his clothes and walked into the water. He picked up Tao Yuan and put him on his lap. Tao Yuan leaned on Zuo Lei's chest, as if he was asleep.

"Tired?" Zuo Lei asked, stroking his pink cheek.

"I'm not tired, I just don't have the strength." Tao Yuan said with his eyes closed.

Zuo Lei asked Tao Yuan to sit on his legs facing him, holding his waist and lifting him up, and then slowly put him down.

Tao Yuan bit his lips and groaned. When Zuo Lei began to shake him, he couldn't help but open his mouth and scream. In this spacious bathroom, he heard the echo of his own voice entering his ears, and his body became more sensitive.

………………………………………………

The next morning, Tao Yuan woke up in Zuo Lei's arms. He raised his head and kissed Zuo Lei on the chin. Zuo Lei immediately lowered his head and kissed him secretly.

The two bodies were entangled together under the quilt, and time passed quickly as they played on the bed.

Tao Yuan kept making a fuss in bed until almost noon, then he begged Zuo Lei for mercy, saying, "We have to go back to my parents' house today. If we go too late, Mom will laugh at us again. Let's get up quickly and get ready."

Zuo Lei withdrew from Tao Yuan's body, hugged him and kissed him hard for a long time before he lifted the quilt and got up.

The two of them went into the bathroom together to wash up, then changed their clothes and went out.

Madam Ruiya was receiving guests at home, and they were guests she didn't want to entertain.

Although Madam Ruiya was impatient, her years of upbringing allowed her to maintain her politeness. She waited until they finished speaking before saying, "There's no way our family would agree to your request, and there's no way Zuo Lei would agree to postpone the wedding."

"I hope Madam will consider this carefully for the sake of our friendship. We will definitely repay this favor." Gnaton continued to plead sincerely.

Madam Ruiya suppressed the urge to sneer and said expressionlessly, "There's not much affection between our two families. It's just an ordinary favor, just like most other official families. Your family feels they owe Dean something, so they want to use my son as a favor to make up for it. This is ridiculous. Please go back. I have to go out with my son and daughter-in-law soon, so I'm sorry I can't entertain you."

Genaton looked at Winnie, hoping he could help talk to him. Winnie winked at him and asked him to take Kaden away first. He knew that his mother would not give face to anyone when she was angry. If they continued to talk, it would only make his mother more angry.

When Zuo Lei walked into the house holding Tao Yuan's hand, Gnaton and Kaiden had just gotten up and were about to leave. Seeing them come in, Kaiden immediately walked up to Zuo Lei, looked at him anxiously and said, "I have something important to discuss with you."

"Who are you?" Zuo Lei looked at the person in front of him whom he had never seen before in confusion.

"He's Dean's ex-husband. He came to you hoping you'd postpone your wedding with Luo Xi to comfort Dean, who lost his leg." Madam Ruiya looked at Zuo Lei and said, "If you agree to his request, you'll never set foot in this house again, and you'll never recognize me as your mother again."

Only now did Kaiden and Genaton realize that it was a completely wrong decision to try to persuade Madam Ruiya to agree first.

"Let's talk." Kaiden looked at Zorei, not wanting to give up trying to convince him.

"There's no need for that. I won't postpone the wedding for anyone. Not to mention that Dean lost a leg, even if he only had a month left to live, I wouldn't postpone the wedding to be with him." Zuo Lei said seriously.

"You are too cold-blooded. Dean is in the most pain now. Even if he is a stranger, what's wrong with you comforting him?" Kaiden said to Zorei angrily.

"Why do I have to comfort him? I don't owe him anything, nor have I ever done anything wrong to him. It's your business if you owe him, but you're being naive if you expect me to make it up to him for you. Get out of here! If you dare to step into my house again, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

"You..." Kaiden wanted to say something, but Zuo Lei grabbed his collar and dragged him out.

Gnaton stood there in a daze. He didn't expect that Zuo Lei would not even give him face and directly drag his brother out.

"You too, please!" Madam Ruiya looked at Gnaton and said, "Our Arnold family and your Irus family have never had much in common, and there's no need for us to interact with them in the future. Even if we're like enemies, we wouldn't care."

Winned stood aside and didn't dare to say a word, because his mother was like a queen in their family. If he spoke for Gnaton and Kayden now, he would have no good days in the future.

Although Genaton looked unhappy because of the attitude of the mother and son, he actually did not dare to offend Madam Ruiya, because not only could they not afford to offend the Arnold family, they could not afford to offend Madam Ruiya's family even more.

"My apologies, Madam. I sincerely apologize for what happened today. I hope you can forgive me. I'm truly sorry." Gnaton bowed and apologized to Madam Ruiya, then said, "I'll take my leave now."

Lei Yuan punched Kaiden in the face, and Kaiden lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't stand up.

Half of Kaiden's face was twitching in pain. He struggled to get up, then glared at Lei Yuan angrily. He was in so much pain that he couldn't even speak.

"I'm giving you a chance now. If you have the guts, go ahead and sue me. Let's see who gets killed in the end." Lei Yuan looked at him and said.

Gnaton came out, looked at Kaiden and said, "Are you going to keep messing around? Why don't you leave now?!"

Kaiden clenched his fists tightly, suppressing his anger, and turned around to follow Gnaton away.
