A soft, cute, and the only silver-blue little mermaid in the galaxy meets the cold and invincible God of War, the Crown Prince of the Empire.
Qiao You, a former Royal Highness from ancient Ea...
Qiao You happily went out with Helian Jue. The overall environment of Bel Star seemed to be quite similar to that of Blue Water Star. The people coming and going on the road were not as free and easy as the people of Blue Water Star. They seemed to be more... sad? serious?
"Brother." Qiao You tugged at Helian Jue's sleeve and pointed to a homeless man dressed in tattered clothes by the roadside.
The man was picking up some food from the ground and wolfing it down, which Qiao You found somewhat unbearable.
Helian Jue understood Qiao You's meaning and went to the store with Xiaoyu to buy a lot of food and water. "Xiaoyu, go by yourself."
Qiao You hesitated for a moment, then pouted and said, "Brother, come with me."
Helian Jue noticed that Xiaoyu didn't like interacting with others, so he thought of training Xiaoyu in these areas.
"Brother will watch over from here," Helian Jue said encouragingly, straightening Xiaoyu's collar.
Qiao You reluctantly carried his things to the other side, looking back every few steps to make sure Helian Jue was really waiting for him.
Helian Jue looked at Qiao You with a smile, his eyes full of encouragement and comfort.
Qiao You delivered the items, said something, and pointed to where Helian Jue was.
After that, Qiao Youcai flew towards Helian Jue like a little butterfly.
"Brother, let's go." Qiao You said cheerfully, "That uncle of yours said that you have the appearance of an emperor."
"I think that's the word. I didn't hear it clearly, but it must be praising my brother."
Helian Jue smiled and nodded, glancing to the side before meeting the eyes of the homeless man.
Wise, mysterious, and with a hint of familiarity, these are not the eyes of an ordinary homeless person.
Helian Jue silently made up his mind and took Xiaoyu into the mall.
Three hours later, the two returned home laden with their loot.
Because there were still political affairs on Sol Star, Helian Jue packed all the purchased items into the spaceship and left Bell Star before dark.
"Brother, am I going to board the warship like this in a little while?" Qiao You twirled around in front of Helian Jue, inquiring if there was anything wrong with his attire.
Helian Jue rested his forehead on his hand, admiring the little fish's display. "Very beautiful."
"Brother, I'm a little nervous," Qiao You whispered as he leaned closer.
Helian Jue stroked Xiaoyu's soft hair, "Brother is here, Xiaoyu, don't be nervous."
"Little Fish only needs to be herself, and doesn't need to care about anyone else."
Qiao You replied, "Okay!"
The spaceship successfully rendezvoused with the Zhengyuan fleet, and Lin Zhong and others were already waiting in the passageway leading to the main ship.
"Baby, come here." Helian Jue changed his address, and the nickname "Little Fish" inevitably made other people think of certain things.
Qiao You pondered the term "baby" to himself; he liked it! He excitedly asked, "Brother, can you call me that from now on?"
"My mother used to call me 'baby,' and my father would also call me 'baby' when he was in a good mood."
"None of them sound as nice as my brother calling me."
Helian Jue faced Qiao You with a gentle and sincere expression, and called out again, "Baby."
Qiao You awkwardly touched her ears. Oh no! Her little ears were about to be burned off!
Helian Jue was satisfied with his catch of a bright red little fish, and dressed it in his military jacket. "Let's go."
Lin Zhong, Wei Yin, Cui Jing, and the others were waiting at the entrance of the passageway early on, but the spaceship had not yet opened the docking door.
"Your Highness, what's going on?" Vein asked Lin Zhong, who was standing on the left.
Lin Zhong ignored him with a straight face, and Wei Yin asked Cui Jing and Ye Xin the same question.
"Only His Highness knows this." Cui Jing stood swaying precariously, looking quite unsightly.
Standing together, apart from Lin Zhong who looked like a proper soldier, the others were not someone you could associate with the term "imperial soldiers."
As the metal door opened, Helian Jue's figure came into view.
But why is there a strange young man standing beside His Highness?
A spark of gossip danced in Vein's eyes. Was His Highness having a romantic encounter?
Such good luck? You ran into her on just one trip to Bell Star?
The young man's appearance seemed somewhat familiar at first glance, somewhat resembling Prince Qiao You, but upon closer inspection, it didn't seem like him...
This was the first time Qiao You had appeared in front of everyone in this way. His eyes were a little unsteady, and he was tightly holding onto his brother.
The sound of Helian Jue's military boots pounding the ground gradually approached Lin Zhong and the others.
"This is Yu Yu." The introduction of the young boy was very concise.
Then, Helian Jue gestured to Lin Zhong and the others with his eyes.
"Hello, young sir! My name is Lin Zhong, and I am His Highness's adjutant."
"Hello, young sir! My name is Cui Jing/Ye Xin..."
Qiao You hid half of his body behind Helian Jue. After listening to Lin Zhong and the others' serious self-introductions, he mustered up his courage and stepped out from behind his brother. "Hello! My name is Yu Yu."
After getting to know each other, Helian Jue dismissed Lin Zhong and the others.
Back in the lounge, Qiao You finally relaxed completely. "Brother."
"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Helian Jue immediately stopped what he was doing, held Xiaoyu in his arms, and asked her gently.
Qiao You shook his head. "I'm worried about being discovered."
There was one more thing Xiaoyu didn't say: he was worried that discovering his identity would cause trouble for his brother...
"No, it won't happen," Helian Jue said earnestly. "Baby, trust your brother, okay?"
Qiao You nodded.
In the following days, Qiao You had a legal identity as Yu Yu, but he still didn't go out much, spending most of his time in the lounge or the side room.
Helian Jue had been quite busy these past few days, so he asked Wei Yin, who had a more carefree personality, to play with the little fish.
Five days later, the Expeditionary Fleet will launch a general offensive against the Alliance-occupied planet Sol.
Helian Jue conducted a final tactical check and only issued the order after confirming that everything was correct.
"Knock knock—"
Helian Jue sat at the table in the command room, not even looking up, and said directly, "Go in."
The door to the command room opened, and Qiao You poked her head out. "Brother, are you busy?"
Hearing that it was Xiaoyu's voice, Helian Jue got up and took the tray from Xiaoyu's hands.
"This is pomegranate juice for you, brother." Qiao You pointed to the cup. "Brother, drink it quickly."
Helian Jue picked up the small fish cup and first brought it to Qiao You's lips.
"I've already drunk it," Qiao You said, struggling.
Helian Jue persisted.
Qiao You initially only took a small sip, but at Helian Jue's prompting, he took a large gulp before finishing.
Traveling day and night, the spaceship moved at almost the speed of a time machine, compressing the original half-month journey into a week, and Adrian finally arrived at Bell Planet.
