When Chi Yao got off the airship, he got the news that Shi Xing had returned to his dormitory.

Yan Changyue reported to Xu Jin in the dormitory about Shi Xing's real-time status.

"Where is his classmate?"

As the chief aide-de-camp, Xu Jin naturally would not ask about it only when Chi Yao asked. He had already asked about it when Chi Yao asked about Shi Xing.

Xu Jin: "He is still in the courtyard."

"Still in the courtyard?"

Chi Yao realized something and said: "He was not invited to the dormitory?"

That was the main building where they lived. If they were classmates with whom they had a good relationship, they should be invited to sit in and have a drink of water or something.

Shi Xing was not such an ignorant person.

Xu Jin shook his head, "No, we decided to stay in the courtyard from the very beginning when we met."

After thinking about it, Xu Jin supplemented the report truthfully.

"Fu Qing said that Xingxing hit him several times, and the last few times he used his mental power."

Chi Yao raised his eyebrows, very surprised.

Being sensitive to details, Chi Yao asked, "He used his mental power in the last few times, but was there any time before that?"

Xu Jin: "..."

It was too detailed, so Xu Jin had to ask Fu Qing now.

Unexpectedly, it really happened.

Xu Jin looked at the communicator in disbelief, "Uh, the first time he used his fists."

Chi Yao raised his eyebrows: "Haven't you left yet?"

"No, Fu Qing is guarding, and he said... it looks very painful."

Chi Yao nodded, "Then send the aircraft to the outside of the courtyard and drop us off, and we'll walk back a few steps."

Xu Jin: "..."

Okay, Chi Yao was curious.

But let alone Chi Yao, he was also very curious about what kind of classmate was causing such a commotion.

Xu Jin's memory of Shi Xing hitting someone still lingers on the time when the Alliance diplomats came and Shi Xing made a demonstrative move.

But at that time, he also used his mental power, and he didn't use his fists.

The aircraft dropped them off at the designated location, and Chi Yao stepped in with his long legs. The atrium was next to the bedroom, a rest area in a garden belt, built to match the bedroom. After dinner, everyone who liked to take a walk would come here for a stroll.

Xu Jin had contacted him, and Fu Qing had been waiting outside for a long time.

Chi Yao was surprised to see Fu Qing, "Gone?"

Fu Qing: "I was sorting out my emotions inside, and he didn't call me yet, and Officer Xu said you were back... so I came out."

Thinking that Chi Yao was going to do something, he ran out to make it convenient for Chi Yao to ask.

It must be said that in this regard, Fu Qing and Fei Chu are as perceptive.

Chi Yao glanced inside and saw nothing, but his spiritual power sensed that Lu Guangyu's youngest son was standing in the open space in the middle of the flowerbed in the courtyard.

So, not only was there no water, but no one was even allowed to sit.

With this knowledge, Chi Yao asked with restraint, "What did Xingxing say?"

Fu Qing: "Xingxing said that he wanted me to send him out after he adjusted his mood."

The word "send" might not mean what it means on the surface.

But since Shi Xing said so, Chi Yao nodded as well, as if he understood.

"Then you go and do it."

"Yes."

After entering from the courtyard, Lu Lu had already packed up and was standing on the side of the corridor, waiting for Fu Qing to come back.

Passing face to face, Chi Yao glanced at each other, and just this one glance made Chi Yao's eyes pause slightly.

He remembered.

It was him.

Realizing something, Chi Yao did not stop, and walked past Lu Lu without changing his expression. When passing by, Lu Lu bowed and saluted with standard movements, and did not seem to have any disrespect or dissatisfaction.

Without looking sideways, Chi Yao did not miss the bruises on Lu Lu's face in his peripheral vision.

It should be the marks left by Shi Xing's beating just now.

Yeah, you can see that he killed him.

After Chi Yao passed by, Lu Lu walked up to Fu Qing in silence, and watched Fu Qing call for the aircraft.

Not long after, Fu Qing drove the aircraft and sent Lu Lu to the door. He watched with his own eyes as the spaceship the other party was on left the palace before turning back.

Chi Yao returned to his bedroom, asked Yan Changyue, and got the answer from Shi Xing in the study.

After taking off his coat, Chi Yao entered the study and saw Shi Xing frowning and looking worried at a large Forestry Bureau form. The scene was so funny that he couldn't help laughing. Shi Xing

heard the noise and turned around, saying helplessly, "Your Highness, it's not the first day that you know that I'm allergic to large numbers."

Chi Yao stretched out his hand to shrink the holographic projection, but his smile didn't diminish. "Do you need to enlarge it so much?"

Shi Xing rubbed his eyebrows, "It's all densely packed with numbers. If you enlarge it, it will give you a headache."

After a few words, the document was handed over to Chi Yao.

Chi Yao didn't refuse, and hugged Shi Xing to look at it together. Shi Xing's confusion was resolved in a few words. While talking about the document, he took the opportunity to chat.

Shi Xing was surprised: "Aren't you going to stay in the Senate and have dinner with them?"

There have been a lot of things going on in the Senate recently, and everyone has been working overtime. If Chi Yao stays there to have dinner, everyone will have a different feeling, and it can be regarded as a kind of respect for the Senate.

Chi Yao: "I don't want to eat outside, I changed my mind temporarily."

"What's wrong, are you uncomfortable?"

Speaking of Chi Yao's problem, Shi Xing sat up straight.

Seeing Shi Xing's nervous expression, Chi Yao pinched his face, "No, I just suddenly don't want to eat outside."

"Oh oh."

Chi Yao said naturally, "What about you, did you encounter anything today?"

Shi Xing thought about it, tilted his head and leaned on Chi Yao's shoulder, pointed to the document he didn't want to look at anymore, and said frustratedly, "This is the biggest accident I encountered today."

God knows how he was so lucky to choose this report with the most numbers.

Chi Yao observed Shi Xing's expression and didn't seem to be pretending. Shi Xing didn't mention Lu Lu, so Chi Yao didn't ask any more questions.

After dinner, Shi Xing went to Erya to discuss the problem of the Blue Star people.

Chi Yao stayed in the study.

After receiving the news that Shi Xing had returned to the room, he called Fu Qing.

If he hadn't asked, he wouldn't have known. After asking, Chi Yao also found out that the soldier sneaking outside the mothership on the border was actually Lu Lu.

Slightly surprised, Chi Yao laughed, "It seems that he doesn't lose if Xingxing beats him."

In fact, the moment he heard Shi Xing take action, Chi Yao determined that there was something wrong with Lu Lu.

Well, probably because of partiality.

"He keeps doing it again and again, and he never learns his lesson."

After laughing, his expression became cold again, and his voice was light, but Fu Qing could hear that Chi Yao was not very happy.

Seeing Fu Qing in a daze, Chi Yao said, "Didn't you see him in the tree nest a long time ago? Don't you remember him?"

Fu Qing was stunned. "Ah, did I see him in the tree nest?"

Chi Yao directly threw a video to Fu Qing.

He just found it.

Fu Qing opened it and found that it was a video that Chi Yao took from a distance when he saw someone entangled with Shi Xing.

His memory came back and Fu Qing remembered that it was indeed Lu Lu.

But...

Fu Qing: "Your Majesty, he didn't even show his face. How do you know it was his?"

Fu Qing only took a picture of Shi Xing's front. Lu Lu had his back to the camera and there was only a back view.

"Body shape, walking posture, hair color."

Fu Qing used his military skills to identify it. OK, it did match.

But Fu Qing was still impressed by Chi Yao's memory and observation ability, as he could remember such an old thing after only meeting him once. After

thinking for a moment, Chi Yao said, "Let's investigate. Send me his whereabouts and updates for the past two years tomorrow."

"Okay."

Back in the room, Shi Xing had already washed up and was sitting on the bed browsing the Star Network.

Chi Yao glanced at it and saw that it was the internal communication number of the army and a forum specially set up for medical practitioners. Shi Xing was reading some medical-related posts.

After washing up and coming out, Shi Xing was still browsing. Chi Yao opened the projection screen and joked, "Will your headache go away if you read such small words at night?"

He repeated what Shi Xing said when he was reading the report in the afternoon.

It's just that the numbers in the context were replaced by text.

"Your Highness..."

Shi Xing yawned. He was a little tired of reading.

Chi Yao tapped the close button and looked at Shi Xing, who nodded. Chi Yao closed the projection screen and took off Shi Xing's communicator and threw it on the bedside table with his own. "Take a break, aren't you tired?"

"I want to see more." Shi Xing muttered.

Chi Yao knew what was going on. "Are you going to treat me?"

Shi Xing woke up with a start.

His eyes were wide open. He was originally sleepy, but he was not fully awake after the sudden stimulation. He just looked at Chi Yao in an incredible way. His thoughts were written on his face. He looked silly and cute.

Chi Yao liked Shi Xing a little bit unkindly.

"Close your eyes, your expression has told me everything now."

Shi Xing: "..."

Shi Xing said sullenly, "Your Highness, you lied to me!"

Chi Yao denied, "I just asked casually, it's not worth it for such a small matter."

Well, after asking casually, Shi Xing got out of the question, and he didn't want to talk anymore.

Chi Yao got on the bed and tried to pinch Shi Xing's face, but Shi Xing hit his head on him. After a quarrel, the two of them got back to normal.

Shi Xing sighed, "Why can't I hide anything from you?"

Chi Yao didn't understand, "Isn't this normal? There's nothing to hide, it's a natural thing."

Shi Xing thought about it, felt that it was right, and sighed again.

Chi Yao's sigh made him laugh.

Shi Xing lay paralyzed on the bed, resigned to his fate, "Is there anything else you don't know?"

The question hit the point.

After lowering his eyes for a moment, the topic came to his lips, and Chi Yao naturally answered, "Of course not."

"It is said that your classmate came to see you this afternoon."

"Don't you have anything to say to me?"

The three sentences actually talked about one thing, but they were divided into three sentences because each sentence was to the point and extremely restrained.

Chi Yao did not force Shi Xing to say it. Shi

Xing felt respected.

Staring at the ceiling in a daze for a while, Shi Xing said: "Do you really want to know?"

The next moment he sat up and murmured, "Your Highness, I haven't had a nightmare for a long time."

It was an interrogative sentence, but it was a declarative tone.

Shi Xing really hasn't had a nightmare for a long time, and they all know it.

Slowly, Shi Xing looked at Chi Yao.

Chi Yao still answered, "If you want to talk about it."

Shi Xing: "I... don't resist, it's optional."

"But I don't want to talk about it rationally. It has nothing to do with the matter itself. I..." Shi Xing leaned forward and sat in front of Chi Yao. He looked obedient and defenseless, "I don't think it's necessary to waste time on this kind of thing."

"Neither your time nor mine needs to be occupied by this kind of thing."

This is true.

Back in the bedroom, Shi Xing thought he would think about it afterwards, but in fact he didn't. After opening the report from the Forestry Bureau, he was lost in the numbers. Recently, he was discussing the treatment time with Erya and practicing his second talent. His mind and eyes were all thinking about treating Chi Yao. If Chi Yao didn't mention this sentence at night... He never thought of it.

"And I beat him, too, to vent my anger."

Chi Yao stretched out his hand, and Shi Xing held it.

Chi Yao rubbed Shi Xing's knuckles, not missing every micro-expression on Shi Xing's face, and smiled: "Forget about beating him, is it so easy to satisfy?"

If Shi Xing thought, not only Fei Chu has thousands of ways to torture people, but Chi Yao probably has even more.

But Shi Xing did not hear the hidden meaning of this sentence.

Looking straight at Chi Yao, who was a little puzzled, Shi Xing suddenly said, "Because I am living a good life now."

His eyes were eager and sincere: "I feel happy every day, everyone treats me well, and my lover treats me well too."

"Environment changes people. If you are immersed in a sugar jar, you will have everything you need, and people will become much more tolerant."

"After having so many good things, you will not want to bother with people who have nothing."

"I think... it's not worth it to lower your own status?"

It was not a standard answer.

But it exceeded Chi Yao's expectations.

When they looked at each other, there was affection flowing in their eyes. Chi Yao said slowly, "If you say that, I will think it is a confession."

He did not mention him at all.

But every sentence did not leave him.

Shi Xing thought about it dully, tilted his head and smiled, "Isn't it?"

Chi Yao felt the inevitable heartbeat.

He pulled Shi Xing down, started with a kiss, and intensified his heartbeat.

Shi Xing was kissed so hard that he was dazed and breathless, and felt long fingers reaching into his clothes.

Chi Yao whispered in his ear, "Your Highness is right, there is no need to waste time on such things."

"You have rested for a few days..."

"Let's do something that a couple should do?"

Shi Xing's neck was red, he heard it and nodded.

The next moment, a corner of his pajamas was stuffed into his mouth, and Chi Yao let him bite it, and asked, "Take the initiative?"

Shi Xing felt hot, closed his eyes, and nodded.

That night, Shi Xing cried while sitting on Chi Yao.

He couldn't control his physical tears.

But the more he cried, the more Chi Yao pressed down on his shoulders...

Well, bad guy.

The next day, Chi Yao peeled another plate of shrimps.

Later in the evening, after discussing with Erya, Shi Xing decided to go back to the tree nest to see the mother tree.

Chi Yao agreed naturally because he was sleepy and found his pillow.

However, he had other things to deal with, so he did not accompany Shi Xing back.

Of course, the imperial capital and Ancheng can be traveled back and forth within a day, so there is no need to go along.

Goodbye in the morning.

At noon, Chi Yao had time to look at the information collected by Fu Qing, and he read it all without scrolling a page.

Closing the information, Chi Yao said to Fu Qing, "Make arrangements. Try to deal with this matter before Xingxing comes back."

Fu Qing understood and went to make arrangements.

At noon, have a make-up dinner with the Senate.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Chi Yao left the Senate.

When Lu Lu returned to his classmate's home, he felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

His classmate's parents were both diplomats, and they were on a business trip to the Alliance. Only his classmate was at home, so Lu Lu had the conditions to stay for so long.

When he arrived at the door, it was different from the past. It was the housekeeper who opened the door.

It seemed that the housekeeper had been waiting at the door for a long time.

Lu Lu was surprised, "Are uncle and aunt back?"

Didn't they say they would be back in a month or two? Could it be that they returned home because of a job change? The butler smiled and shook his head

, "It's not that the master and the mistress have returned, but that a distinguished guest has come to visit."

Lu Lu understood, "Do you need me to step aside?" The butler shook his head again, smiled, but the smile was not very natural, and pointed inside, "Young Master Lu, you will know when you go in." Entering the main hall, Lu Lu froze when he saw the people in military uniforms, and subconsciously thought they were from the Lu family. Looking again, he saw the emblem of the Royal Guard, and a secret expectation rose in his heart. Could it be Shi Xing... "Is it Lu Lu?" Lu Lu nodded. Xiang Fei made a gesture to lead the way, "Please." This expectation reached its peak when he saw Fu Qing, unbelievable. Then, when his eyes swept to Chi Yao sitting on the sofa and his particularly nervous classmates, it turned into deep disappointment and loss. "What are you standing there for? Salute!" Seeing Lu Lu was stunned, the classmates wanted to rush up and slap him. Lu Lu saluted belatedly. Chi Yao looked at him quietly, sitting upright on the sofa. He was obviously looking up at Lu Lu, but the aura around him was not comparable to Lu Lu's. When saluting, Lu Lu had a flash of the pressure that Shi Xing gave him. Now he knows where Shi Xing's superiority comes from. Or in other words, who did he learn it from. When he stood up again, Chi Yao's first words were not to him, but to his classmate, "Can we have a few words alone in your house?" "Of course, Your Majesty." Just kidding, the phone calls have been made to his parents, and the whole street has been cleared. Is it his turn to refuse such a thing! The classmate left with special courtesy. Before leaving, he looked at Lu Lu deeply and couldn't help but worry about him. As soon as the classmate left, the faint smile on Chi Yao's lips fell. "Lu Lu, right, the youngest son of Lu Guangyu, who has been in the Tree Nest with my approval?" Lu Lu nodded awkwardly. As soon as the classmate left, the pressure of being stared at by those smoky gray eyes increased exponentially. After a long while, Chi Yao finally said, "Hello." Lu Lu was nervous, "I am also very happy to meet you, Your Majesty." He spoke dryly and was a little at a loss. Lu Lu knew that Chi Yao had not released his mental power, but under close contact, there were several senior military officers standing around, and the solemnity of the scene made him a little unable to control himself and unable to relax. Chi Yao curled his lips, and his mood had nothing to do with happiness.

When he spoke again, his words were blunt and sharp.

Chi Yao: "Do you like Shixing?"

Lu Lu's mind buzzed, and he was blank.
