He only saw the flowers, but not Pei Ji Ren. He did not come back until the First Fleet was about to set sail again.

Shen Que rested his forehead on Pei Ji's shoulder.

"Are you hurt?"

After returning from the Sea of ​​Life, Pei Ji recuperated for a whole year.

In the second year, Shen Que did not arrange anything else for him except cruising.

This encirclement and suppression was a direct order from Carolina bypassing Shen Que, and it was also the first time that Pei Ji led a team into battle after his mental strength recovered.

To say I'm not worried would be a lie.

Pei Ji released his spiritual power, "How dare I get hurt without your permission, my Lord Commander?"

Shen Que checked each of the spiritual tentacles that were circling around him one by one, confirming that they were as lively and energetic as before he left.

Feeling that the Omega was in a much better mood, Pei Ji tentatively asked, "So... why did you appear here today dressed up as such an attractive little cake? You weren't waiting for me to eat it, were you?"

He said as he tightened his arms, completely enveloping the Omega in his embrace, covering him.

"Narcissistic." Shen Que's ears turned red. "I'm on a mission... and you scared away my target."

"The target of the mission?" Pei Ji frowned. "The stink bug just now?"

When C was mentioned, Shen Que showed an expression of disgust in his eyes.

"An asked me to investigate this round's hidden auction items. Only the top three buyers can get some information. That bug is C. I wanted to tease him and see if I could get anything out of him..."

He paused.

"Even though it was delivered to my door... it's still too disgusting. I'd rather sneak into the collection area and take a look..."

Pei Ji then murmured, "Top three?"

Shen Que looked at him doubtfully.

Suddenly, he realized something.

Pei Ji raised his lips and asked, "Can I be teased if I'm in the top three?"

Shen Que narrowed his eyes, propped up his chin with his fingertips, and waited for his next words.

Pei Ji took out his ruby ​​ring from his pocket, took Chen Que's left hand, put it on his ring finger, and kissed the silver letter "A" on it.

"How about changing your mission target and flirting with me, beautiful lady?"
