After the villainous evil god Zhu Fu was defeated, just before his death, he saw tender illusions of his fathers holding his infant self in his mind's eye. But hundreds of years ago, they had a...
Chapter 33
Among the many aristocratic families in the empire, the Xu family is considered to be among the best.
Xu Tieren had accompanied the emperor in conquering the country and had made great achievements in battle. He drove a mecha alone into a group of strange beasts, using himself as bait and determined to die together. In the end, he was rescued by his colleagues with only his last breath.
He made great contributions and was one of the first recipients of the Platinum Military Medal of Merit in the Empire. The Emperor trusted him very much and made Xu Tieren the first five-star general in the Empire.
Before the establishment of the Human Empire, the Xu family also produced war gods from generation to generation.
This is why Xu Tieren is extremely disappointed with Xu Run, his only son who is useless.
Xu Run knew from a young age that he did not have the talent to inherit the Xu family's official title and military merits. The fact that he could now reach the position of major was entirely due to having such a father. Moreover, even his father knew that his life would end at the rank of major.
Although Xu Run does not have the qualifications to be a mecha commander, he is very sociable and claims to have friends no matter which galaxy he goes to.
He comes from a wealthy family and is a generous person. He does not care about the background of his friends. As long as they are recognized by him, he will treat them sincerely.
It is true that there are many people who curry favor with the powerful and want to build relationships, but more often than not, they just exchange sincerity for sincerity.
This time at the Yinling Conference, Xu Run met Zhu Shaoquan, a peer sitting next to him, and was impressed by his talent.
He heard that the other party's father was Lord Zhu. Although his father and Lord Zhu had little intersection, he had heard that this Lord was an upright person and admired him very much.
Moreover, he has always had a filter for the surname "Zhu", so he became friends with Zhu Shaoquan, and even the accommodation they chose at the resort after the meeting were together.
Seeing Zhu Shaoquan in a bad mood today, he asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"
He felt that something was wrong with the other person while having dinner last night. At that time, Zhu Shaoquan said that he felt a little weak, and he didn't ask much.
Zhu Shaoquan forced a smile: "Well... I didn't sleep well, and I have a headache."
"Is your room not okay? Do you want to change it?"
"No, no. I just had a nightmare." Zhu Shaoquan sighed.
After he inherited another person's memories, he saw many things clearly.
For example, why he had disliked his elder brother since childhood, and why everything he did was to intentionally or unintentionally squeeze him out of the position of heir to the position of head of the Zhu family.
For example, when Zhu Xiyuan brought Si Yin back for the first time, he developed an inexplicable fear of the latter.
For example, why did Zhu Xiaofu, who had never seen him, have so much resentment towards him, to the point that she framed him again and again at such a young age?
At those times, he also felt that the other party was young, and children do things without logic, so he didn't care too much.
Now I understand.
The bad fate from the previous life was brought into this life by two of the people, and is destined to continue.
From previous events, he was certain that Zhu Fu also had memories of her past life, which was why she was so wary of him.
Zhu Xiyuan and Si Yin couldn't see it, they just wanted to stay away from him as always.
After Zhu Shaoquan realized these things, he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
This child is already very smart. If he has the soul of the evil god in his previous life, he is likely to do something to protect his fathers.
Originally, Zhu Xiyuan's sudden decision to return to Bach II had a certain impact on his future - although Zhu Zhengde was now openly biased towards him, Zhu Shaoquan knew very well that from childhood to adulthood, the eldest brother had always been the proudest and most praiseworthy son in his father's heart.
If Zhu Xiyuan comes back now, will he take away the career he has been planning and building for so many years?
What role will Zhu Fu play in fueling this?
What role does Si Yin play?
Zhu Shaoquan’s head was about to explode with pain.
In the end, he concluded that he had to strike first.
Drive the eldest brother and his family out of Bach II, preferably away from the mother planet.
If "driving out" is not a thorough enough solution, then, if necessary, cut the grass and eradicate it completely.
When Zhu Shaoquan thought of this, he was shocked.
He had hated and envied his eldest brother's family for many years, but he had never developed such a vicious mind.
After all, he was his biological brother, they shared the same blood, grew up together, and he took good care of him.
Over the years, he had never thought of causing any irreparable harm to the other party.
I suddenly had this thought. Is it... influenced by my memories from my past life?
He still needs to restrain himself, otherwise who knows what he will do.
Zhu Shaoquan was in a trance. Xu Run spread his five fingers and waved in front of him: "Hey, brother, are you okay? Do you want to see a doctor? I remember there is a medical station here."
Zhu Shaoquan suddenly came back to his senses and smiled subconsciously: "No, it's okay, I just feel a little dizzy, I can go back and lie down later."
Their itinerary today is to go fishing. In this interstellar age where everything has entered the intelligent and automated era, only fishing, a traditional ancient manual activity, has been preserved.
After all, everything can be done by machines, but there are always some things that you have to do by yourself to exercise your patience.
Xu Run likes fishing very much, and today's itinerary was arranged for him. Zhu Shaoquan arranged for several young people of similar age and family background to go fishing together.
"If it really doesn't work, go back and rest now, and come find us when you're better."
Zhu Shaoquan smiled reluctantly, "It's okay. Fishing is just sitting there, not much intense activity. I'll just rest on the lounge chair for a while."
How could he leave now?
This is the best time to build closer ties with other children from aristocratic families.
Whoever leaves is a fool.
Xu Run was a little worried, but he couldn't make decisions for others, so he said, "Okay, don't get too tired, just go and rest first. If you feel uncomfortable, you must go to a medical center in time."
"good."
Zhu Shaoquan picked up his own equipment and also attentively picked up some for Xu Run. He then called on several other children from aristocratic families to walk towards Diaoyutai together.
When he saw his brother here yesterday, Zhu Xiyuan actually hesitated for a moment as to whether he should change places.
But Zhu Shaoquan acted as if he didn't see them at all, and didn't find fault with them like he did before.
What's more, Siqin is about to be discharged from the hospital, and she can't find a more suitable place to stay now, so she has to continue staying here for the time being.
They went to the sanatorium to pick someone up today. As expected, Siqin responded to the new environment. Unlike before, she was not only focused on her violin or talking to Fu Fu. On the shuttle, she even looked at the rolling green hills outside the window.
Si Yin and Zhu Xiyuan looked at each other. It seemed that their choice of this place was beneficial.
After packing their luggage briefly, they pushed their mother out for a walk in the hover wheelchair.
There were groups of people carrying fishing gear on the road. This centuries-old pastime made Zhu Fu feel quite familiar, but she still had to pretend to know nothing and asked the fathers, "Dad, what are they going to do?"
"Fishing means using a fishing rod to catch fish from a stream or river so that you can have grilled fish for lunch." Si Yin's explanation was very vivid.
"Oh~" Fu Fu looked as if she had suddenly realized something. She ran towards those people and then came back again. "Daddy, I want to fish too!"
Anyway, they didn't have any other plans, and the next two months would be spent taking Fu Fu out for fun and relaxing with Si Qin, so the daily schedule would be decided according to their wishes.
Zhu Xiyuan rubbed the top of his head and said, "Then why don't you ask grandma if she wants to go fishing?"
Now the communication between the grandparents and grandchildren is almost as good as that of normal people, but unfortunately Siqin still only talks to Fufu.
The hoverwheelchair stopped.
The kitten jumped in front of grandma, its big eyes full of anticipation: "Grandma, can we go fishing? I want to eat grilled fish for lunch, do you want some?"
When Siqin saw him, the stiff muscles on her face forced a smile: "If you want... then go."
——Like everyone Zhu Fu met after her rebirth, she doted on him almost unconditionally and without limits.
As long as it is something Fu Fu wants to do, the adults will put down everything they are doing and accompany him.
He had never felt so surrounded by love.
After Si Yin rented fishing gear from the staff, the family set off for Diaoyutai.
It is a very heartwarming scene for three generations of grandparents and grandchildren to carry out such a family activity.
If Fu Fu hadn't spotted a familiar figure nearby with her sharp eyes.
...Why is it always you?
