During the time when Fu Qing and Chi Yao were talking, the focus of Shi Xing and Lu Lu had changed.
From the matching problem, it extended to the Lu family. Lu Lu was shocked and angry and asked Shi Xing to explain clearly, but Shi Xing did not want to talk about the Lu family. Unless
it was necessary, it was a period of time that he was most reluctant to recall.
The two pushed each other, and neither used mental power, but as a Blue Star with a poor physique, Shi Xing pushed Lu Lu away several times with a breath in his heart.
Lu Lu's eyes were red with anger. He was unwilling and unable to believe that the family he had always thought of as harmonious had a crack as described by Shi Xing. This was even more absurd than Shi Xing's rejection of him. It shook his basic cognition for a long time, and made Lu Lu feel that his world was also falling apart...
Shi Xing really couldn't get rid of him. Just as he was about to scold him, a mental force attacked him and Lu Lu was powerfully knocked out.
"During the match, all candidates are prohibited from entanglement with Blue Star people!"
Fu Qing warned.
The attack was mainly for warning. After Lu Lu's mental force took the initiative to protect himself, he quickly landed again, but the level difference was too great. After landing, Langxi retreated a few steps before he could stand firm.
When had Young Master Lu ever been treated like this before? He raised his eyes fiercely, but when his sight touched Fu Qing's epaulettes, his pupils shrank.
Royal Guards.
The next moment, the powerful mental force attacked again, forcing Lu Lu to bend his waist slightly, and he tried his best not to kneel down.
Fu Qing climbed the stairs, "If there is a next time, I will throw you out myself."
The epaulettes reflected the rank of major general.
This change came too suddenly. Shi Xing's eyes kept switching between Fu Qing and Lu Lu. He instinctively felt that he should say something, but he didn't know what to say.
Fu Qing nodded slightly to Shi Xing and said naturally, "You walked too fast. His Highness said that you still have some documents to pick up. Will you come back with me?"
Shi Xing then remembered the application form he was reviewing halfway.
He had never thought that Fu Qing would go out of his way to deliver the information to him. When asked this question, Shi Xing responded subconsciously, "Okay, I'll go get it right away. Sorry."
In the confusion, he didn't know what he was apologizing for.
Fu Qing saw that Shi Xing was not in a good state, so he just said, "Then let's go."
Shi Xing followed Fu Qing's footsteps.
Lu Lu wanted to keep him, but just as he was about to open his mouth, the pressure of the shrouding mental power rose, and Lu Lu knelt on one knee with a thud, unable to think about anything else.
Shi Xing heard this movement, and after walking a distance, he whispered to Fu Qing, "Major General, he and I just had some friction as classmates, no, it's not a big deal."
Shi Xing didn't want to make a big deal out of it, and Fu Qing didn't give in after all, "I'll take back my mental power when he can't catch up."
Shi Xing breathed a sigh of relief. He
was in a trance all the way, his mind was filled with scenes along the way to the tree nest, and then fragments of trivial things that happened long ago.
Shi Xing tried his best not to think about it, but he couldn't control it.
He didn't regret everything he said to Lu Lu today. Sooner or later, there would always be such a time, and it would never be easy.
He just... didn't expect the aftermath to be so strong.
This state continued until he was in front of Chi Yao.
Fu Qing led the people in. Chi Yao's eyes fell on Shi Xing, and his eyebrows wrinkled instantly.
"What's the matter?"
Shi Xing was stunned.
Chi Yao stretched out his hand and nodded to indicate. Shi Xing looked down and found that he was pushed so hard that his clothes were wrinkled, a collar button was broken, and one side of the collar corner collapsed, revealing his neck... He looked really rude and disrespectful.
"Sorry, I..."
Shi Xing was tidying up his clothes, trying to make himself look decent again in a panic, but Chi Yao didn't give him a chance.
With a wave of two fingers, Chi Yao's spiritual power opened Shi Xing's hand, and he said in a hushed voice, "I'm talking about here."
The wind blew over and brought a tingling sensation. Shi Xing could only then see that there were several long scratches on his neck, and the skin had broken.
"..."
He tried hard to recall that when he was pushing Lu Lu, his movements were too big and it seemed that he had really scratched his collar, but... he couldn't remember when it happened. His attention was not here at the time, and he just wanted to get rid of Lu Lu with a burst of anger.
Sure enough, the physique of the Blue Star people cannot be compared with that of the Imperial people.
Shi Xing looked at Chi Yao again. The man had no expression on his face, waiting for his answer.
Shi Xing: "I did it accidentally. I'm sorry, Your Highness."
"Accidentally?"
Chi Yao raised his eyebrows.
Shi Xing lowered his head.
There was silence in the room for a while.
Realizing that Shi Xing was unwilling to talk, Chi Yao called the attendant and asked him to take him to the pharmacy to change clothes.
When only Fu Qing and Chi Yao were left in the study, Fu Qing reported everything that happened along the way to Chi Yao.
"Friction between classmates?" Chi Yao tapped his long fingers on the table.
Fu Qing lowered his head: "Well, Shi Xing said so, and that person has not been graded yet, and his age is indeed comparable to Shi Xing."
Because of the existence of the mother tree, a large number of people pass the review and come to live in the Tree Nest for a short period of time every year. If they are too young to complete their studies, they may become classmates with the people of Blue Star while living in the Tree Nest.
Chi Yao: "Tell the administrator of the Tree Nest about this and let him call back."
Ten minutes later, after watching the surveillance of the residence, the administrator dialed Chi Yao's communicator with mixed feelings.
Chi Yao was handling official business, doing two things at once: "Is it really a classmate?"
The administrator had a subtle expression and nodded: "Yes, a classmate."
But he was also a candidate for matching, but Major General Fu and His Majesty did not seem to recognize Lu Lu, and the administrators of several major military groups did not want to get involved. Chi Yao did not ask who it was, and he would not take the initiative to mention it.
And it seems that Shi Xing really listened to his advice. His relationship with Lu Lu ended here, and the administrator would not be so ignorant as to make it known to everyone. The young man admired Ai, and it was over. It was good for both parties.
Chi Yao didn't expect it to be true. His fingertips paused on the document, "The same age as Shi Xing?"
"About the same."
Chi Yao's expression eased a little.
Chi Yao had no interest in making things difficult for a kid in his early twenties. He only scolded the steward, "The Imperials can't attack the Blue Star people either. The physical strength of the two is not at the same level. You just give a warning this time. If I see it again next time, it won't be so easy."
The steward could only agree.
Not only did he agree, he also promised to inform and emphasize to all candidates to prevent such incidents from happening again.
After the call, the attendant came to report that Shi Xing had some bruises on his body in addition to scratches, and his mood was not right. He asked Chi Yao for instructions on how to arrange it.
Chi Yao thought for a while, "Is the second reception room in front comfortable?"
After getting the affirmation, Chi Yao handed the projector to the attendant, "Then take him over to rest, and give him the application form."
The attendant went down.
More than half an hour later, all the projection screens in front of Chi Yao were turned off.
He connected to the Senate for a small meeting. When he turned off the communicator, Chi Yao felt that the world had quieted down.
After a break, he decided to go see the little blue star.
When he was at the door, Chi Yao felt that it was too quiet inside. He knocked on the door but no one answered. He opened the door with his mental power and walked in quietly. What he saw was Shi Xing, who was sleeping on the sofa with a pillow in his arms.
The projection was still on. Chi Yao flipped through it. He didn't fall asleep during the review, but fell asleep after the review.
His eyelashes drooped slightly... He didn't leave after the review was completed. It seemed that he didn't want to go back to his residence.
After turning off the projection, Chi Yao focused his attention completely on Shi Xing.
The clothes were too big for his opponent to wear. The clothes the attendant brought should be for his nephew, but even if they were for his nephew, they looked a little empty on Shi Xing. The collar of the casual clothes was exposed, and the scratches were no longer covered, and they were clearly visible on his fair skin.
"Are they rubbing against each other..." Chi Yao didn't believe it.
But since Shi Xing didn't say anything, he didn't mean to make it difficult.
After watching for a while, Chi Yao found that the opponent looked very obedient when he closed his eyes and slept, but he looked younger.
Can this face really grow more mature?
Just as he was confused, Shi Xing's brows suddenly knitted together while he was sleeping, and his relatively stable mental power began to fluctuate. Chi Yao was familiar with this situation, and was hesitating whether to comfort him. Shi Xing suddenly sat up with his eyes wide open, without making any sound, but his face was full of fear.
Shi Xing had dreamed again.
Seeing something, Chi Yao's face darkened.
"I'm curious about what is so scary in the tree nest, and is there any loophole in management?"
Chi Yao spoke, and Shi Xing realized that he was standing in front of him. He panicked and wanted to call for help, but Chi Yao pointed his finger at his eyes. Shi
Xing was stunned, trembling, and wiped it with the back of his hand. Seeing the water marks, he realized that he had shed tears.
"I..."
"Your Highness, I..."
Shi Xing was speechless, not knowing how to explain.
Chi Yao: "You don't have to say it if you don't want to. I'm just curious."
He would ask about the situation of Tree Nest every year, and he was also concerned about the growth of the people of Blue Star, not to mention that they would come to live for a period of time before and after the matching banquet. Shi Xing's behavior really made Chi Yao doubt his jurisdiction.
Shi Xing calmed down and forced himself to look back at the other person. Sure enough, he was met with a gentle gaze.
Strong, gentle and tolerant.
Even though it was sharp, Shi Xing could tell that it was not directed at him.
The smoky gray color was cold, but those smoky gray eyes were warm, and they did reveal a generous concern.
Maybe it was because they had absorbed each other's spiritual power that they were naturally close, or maybe Chi Yao had never really hurt him from the beginning to the end, or maybe it was just the right time and situation for Shi Xing to not have time to build a high wall in his heart.
After looking at each other for a moment, Shi Xing trembled and whispered frankly.
"Your Highness, I feel a little uncomfortable."
