The Alliance diplomats had just started to break off diplomatic relations, and then they quickly came back to repair the relationship. Then the diplomatic celebration was ruined by two star beasts. Finally, all the evidence pointed to Bachelor Jane Miller who was seriously injured in the celebration.

After that, all the investigations of the Empire had not yet produced clear results, but the Alliance had taken the lead and characterized the whole incident as Bachelor Miller's "hatred" and "revenge". While removing him from the position of cabinet bachelor, the Alliance made a solemn apology to the Empire and published a public apology letter on the Star Network, saying that it had failed to supervise.

Less than a week after the Alliance diplomats landed in the Empire, the diplomatic situation and events had changed several times, with constant twists and turns.

Under the circumstances where such troubles keep happening, it is understandable that the diplomats of the Empire and the Alliance do not communicate with each other for the time being and keep a cool head for a few days.

In other words, no matter what the situation is, Chi Yao and Shi Xing finally have a legitimate reason to have a good rest for a few days.

This is a timely relief for Chi Yao, who is in a period of confusion, and Shi Xing, who is an inexperienced Blue Star person.

When Shi Xing woke up in the early morning, he yawned and was still sleepy.

He turned over, but unexpectedly touched someone on the bed. Shi Xing opened his hazy eyes a little and spoke unclearly. "Your Highness?"

Chi Yao slept lightly due to years of military life, and woke up quickly when there was any movement. When Shi Xing turned over and tentatively scratched his body, Chi Yao was already awake.

As soon as he asked, Chi Yao responded, pulled him over

, wrapped him in his arms and hugged him. Shi Xing's originally hazy mind was awakened by the heat of Chi Yao's body temperature.

Shi Xing rubbed his eyes, wondering, "Have I finally adjusted my schedule back?" He

was so sleepy after relaxing for the past two days, and he was also awake the whole day yesterday. Everyone said that he was listless.

Shi Xing reached for his communicator and pressed it. The floating screen made him give up. It was already past midnight when he woke up.

However, if he hadn't adjusted his schedule back, then...

"Your Highness, aren't you going to handle official business this morning?"

Chi Yao's schedule was very regular. When Shi Xing was tired, he would often sleep a little longer, and when he woke up, he was the only one in the bed.

He could still see Chi Yao while lying in bed, and Chi Yao would slowly come over to hold him and sleep together. Shi Xing didn't know if this was one of the few wonders in the palace.

Chi Yao's eyes were still closed, and he just said, "I've been too tired recently, so I'll take a rest today."

"Oh."

It's time to take a rest, he's still in a period of confusion.

Shi Xing moved, and his pajamas rolled up a little with the movement. Chi Yao's arm was across his waist, and he felt it, and his long fingers slid down and helped him pull the corner of his clothes down. It was a very normal action, and when the fingers touched the skin on his waist, Shi Xing felt itchy and dodged. Chi Yao's long fingers paused and fixed on Shi Xing's skin.

Shi Xing felt that the atmosphere had changed, and before he could think about what was wrong, two fingertips moved up along the hem of his clothes.

Shi Xing: "!"

Chi Yao hugged him from behind, it was a hug, but also a confinement.

When his fingers were squeezed together, Shi Xing couldn't help but let out a tiny hum from his throat.

After a moment, the long fingers returned to Shi Xing's waist and tapped lightly with unspeakable meaning.

"You reacted, Xingxing."

Shi Xing didn't understand how Chi Yao's voice could be so serious when saying such things. He wanted to hide, but based on their understanding of each other in recent times, it was obvious that Chi Yao would not let him hide. Shi Xing depressedly buried his head in the pillow, without saying a word, and the redness of his neck was regarded as tacit agreement.

Chi Yao suddenly said, "The report from Tree Nest said that the Blue Star people don't have too many impulses during puberty, right?"

Shi Xing gave up and covered his eyes with his arms, "What kind of impulse are you talking about?"

Chi Yao spit out two words in Shi Xing's ear, and Shi Xing felt that his whole body was as hot as Chi Yao's.

Shi Xing wanted to bury himself in the quilt, "This has exceeded the scope of impulse, this is a specific behavior!"

Chi Yao: "Have you never tried it?"

Isn't this the point? ! !

Shi Xing curled up again, and the teasing in secret made her face flushed, but Chi Yao didn't let her go and asked again, as if he would not stop until he got an answer.

Shi Xing collapsed, "No."

The people of Blue Star might really be different from the people of the Empire. They... at least Shi Xing really didn't feel that in the tree nest.

His good friend Shi Ran didn't have this problem either.

But with Chi Yao, he was always easily excited, both mentally and physically...

A kiss came over him, and in a state of confusion, Shi Xing heard Chi Yao say, "Then try it today."

"I'll teach you."

...

Shi Xing got up and took a shower, rubbing his skin red.

He didn't want to look at the mirror while taking a shower, so he hid the mirror in the bathroom.

Chi Yao had already washed up and left. Before leaving, Shi Xing was rarely strong, so he took the initiative to hold him down and helped His Highness wash his hands several times.

After that, he specifically told Yan Changyue not to come up, and set up a robot to change the sheets and quilt covers. Shi Xing held the washing machine and watched the washing machine run. After confirming that the marks on it were soaked and disappeared, Shi Xing began to wash himself.

When he came out of the bathroom again, Shi Xing's face was still red. He didn't know if it was because of shame or the steam.

How could it be...

Even though it was comfortable.

But he didn't agree!

Even his subsequent actions didn't seem to be a rejection...

But that's enough, how could he play so, so...

Shi Xing collapsed, and didn't dare to think about it. He buried his face in the towel, wishing he could smother himself to death.

The corner of his mouth was broken again. Even though he had taken a shower, as long as he thought about it, he could still clearly remember Chi Yao scratching his body with something stuck on him, and the feeling of his teeth being pried open by his fingers. The smell and the sticky touch also lingered in his mind...

Shi Xing: "..."

He felt that he would not be able to leave the room today. He

was too embarrassed. In fact, Shi Xing still walked out. He didn't go downstairs to eat lunch, which was very strange.

After a few days of chaos, everyone in the dormitory had a holiday. Tang Mi lived here as Shi Xing's teacher and civil servant. The chief clerk Wei Wan did not come today, but there was still an extra seat at the table. Erya came.

Chi Yao took care of some official business in the study room, then waved to Shi Xing, motioning him to sit over. Shi Xing didn't say anything, but sat down with a puffed face. Chi

Yao saw this from the corner of his eye, and didn't say much in front of everyone.

Everyone was gathered, and it was time to eat.

When Fei Chu wasn't around, everyone still followed the etiquette of not talking while eating. With Fei Chu's joining, he single-handedly made this table etiquette come true only a few times.

Chi Yao picked up a piece of meat for Shi Xing.

Shi Xing was unhappy and deliberately said, "I don't want to eat this."

Chi Yao glanced at him, and just as his chopsticks left the bowl, he turned back and picked up the meat directly into his own bowl and ate it without any disgust.

Erya: "."

Erya glanced at Feichu, and Feichu whispered, "Daily, some daily."

After a while, Chi Yao picked up some deep-sea starfish for Shi Xing. Shi Xing had eaten it several times before, and he couldn't use the excuse of not eating it, so he chewed it up and swallowed it angrily.

There are thorn shrimps today, which are airlifted from the northern border. The taste is different from the ones in the imperial capital. Shi Xing likes this dish very much. After it was served on the table, he looked at it several times. Chi Yao reached out and brought it to Shi Xing.

Shi Xing: "..."

Shi Xing swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Forget it, I don't want to peel it."

Normal shrimps are served on the table with the shell peeled, but this dish is different. The meat of the thorn shrimp sticks to the shell, and it must be peeled before eating to make it delicious, and the meat is chewy, so it won't be too cold and lose its flavor.

After Shi Xing finished speaking, Chi Yao glanced at him, which made Shi Xing feel that he was being unreasonable.

Was he being unreasonable?

Thinking of the scene in the morning when he said forget it, but was dragged over and over again to explore the new world, Shi Xing's unhappy mood came to his head again. No matter what, he was not the first to go too far!

Chi Yao didn't say anything, so Shi Xing continued to eat. When Chi Yao put down his chopsticks, Shi Xing was still eating.

He always eats slowly.

Chi Yao brought the plate in front of him, and then began to peel the shrimps.

Erya looked at Fei Chu again, and Fei Chu also sneered and said reluctantly, "It's just a daily routine, haha."

When the first shrimp was placed on Shi Xing's plate, Shi Xing was unmoved. The second shrimp, the third shrimp... Shi Xing began to be less determined.

Shi Xing raised his eyes and met the pair of smoky gray eyes scanning down. Something was exchanged silently. Not wanting to be bought so easily, Shi Xing bargained boldly, "One plate?!"

Chi Yao laughed, "If you can finish it, I'll help you peel the plate."

Shi Xing felt comfortable and started to use his chopsticks, eating a prawn in two bites.

He enjoyed the food with peace of mind.

Erya looked at Feichu again, and Feichu couldn't stand it anymore, "Sister, if you have something to say, ask the person involved. I didn't get to eat the peeled shrimp!"

Chi Yao added, "If you want to eat, peel it yourself. If it's not enough, the chef will have more."

Feichu: "..."

Feichu: "To be honest, if you didn't say that, I could eat an extra bowl of rice!"

Chi Yao: "That's just right, it saves food for the palace."

Feichu was going to make a fuss: "You're not going to stop treating me differently, right? Can you stop?!"

Erya finally put down her chopsticks and said truthfully, "I thought it was just a normal match, but I didn't expect you two to look...good."

At least this side of Chi Yao, Erya had never seen before.

Chi Yao just smiled and put another shrimp in front of Shixing.

And Shixing... Shixing didn't know what everyone was talking about at all, and was already addicted to the delicious food.

After having a good lunch, I was in a good mood. I took a long nap in the afternoon and was woken up by Chi Yao.

Shi Xing rubbed his eyes and wondered, "What's wrong?"

Chi Yao: "Miller's diagnosis is out. We need to go and take a look to confirm it. By the way, we need to sign the apology letter from Will and Li Yu to accept the alliance."

"Accept it so quickly?" Something

happened at the celebration the day before yesterday. The investigation took a day yesterday. The alliance sent an apology letter in the evening. Today, the Empire is going to sign it?

Isn't it too fast? !

Chi Yao said, "Tianyuanxing will compensate the Empire. It has already hinted that it is a low-priced crystal stone and crystal ore order that the Empire needs. It said that we will discuss it in detail when signing the apology letter."

In other words, one hand gave the compensation and the other hand signed the acceptance letter.

"The diplomatic meeting with the Alliance to discuss the purchase price of crystal stones and crystal ore is about to start, and I don't want to delay it until then."

If it's compensation, then it's better to negotiate it as soon as possible, otherwise the timeline will be extended, and with the changes in diplomatic relations, there may be uncontrollable impacts.

Shi Xing understood.

Thinking of something, Shi Xing asked, "Have Miller and his followers' communicators been cracked?"

Chi Yao shook his head, "The technology from Deka was just developed and used this year. The encryption technology is exceptionally good. The Empire can't do anything with it. In addition, the Alliance has also discovered the loss of their communicators. On the grounds of protecting political secrets, it has already asked the Empire to return the two communicators on the interstellar."

Shi Xing nodded.

There is nothing we can do now. Accepting the apology and receiving compensation is the best.

More than half an hour later, Chi Yao, Shi Xing and their group arrived at the hospital. Will felt that Chi Yao looked much better. Thinking of Erya's arrival and Miller's guess, he felt that Chi Yao was in a disordered period. However, Erya was already here, and they could not make use of the issue to make a fuss. They could only let the matter go. He

felt a little sorry in his heart, but did not show it on his face.

People from the Empire had seen Miller outside the ICU. Miller was wearing a breathing mask and fell asleep. It was said that he had not woken up much since he was rescued last night. Shi Xing took a few glances and was calm.

The face-saving work was done well, and the next thing to talk about was signing and compensation. The First Hospital specially set aside a conference room for the use of royal family and alliance diplomats.

Ren Yanyong, Wei Zhen, and Wei Wan all came along. Shi Xing didn't quite understand what was going on, so he didn't join in.

After sitting outside and waiting for a while, he got up to go to the bathroom and ran into Li Yu when he turned around.

Li Yu greeted Shi Xing, and Shi Xing nodded.

To be fair, although he knew that the three people from Tianyuan Star were not good people, Li Yu was not talkative, and Shi Xing's impression of him... was not particularly annoying, but it was impossible for him to have a good impression of him.

He nodded and was about to leave, but Li Yu stopped Shi Xing. He

was concerned about whether Shi Xing was frightened at the celebration, and asked him if he was okay facing the two star beasts.

Shi Xing smiled falsely, "I didn't know Admiral Li Yu cared about me so much."

Hearing the sarcasm, Li Yu didn't care and continued to smile, but what he said made Shi Xing's heart jump.

"Your Highness Shi Xing is a Blue Star person. It is well known that star beasts particularly like the mental power of Blue Star people. Based on this, as a diplomat of the alliance, and the incident was caused by Miller's confusion, he will naturally care more about you."

Shi Xing's smile faded.

He had not told the diplomats that he was from the Blue Star.

But if you think about it carefully, his race is not difficult to guess.

The physical features and the fact that his mental power is not offensive can roughly determine it.

Without waiting for Shi Xing to answer, Li Yu suddenly said, "Your Highness Shi Xing has not yet passed the mature period, right?"

Shi Xing frowned.

Li Yu did not want him to answer, and said to himself, "Your Highness Shi Xing and His Majesty the Emperor seem to have a good relationship."

Shi Xing felt strange and became alert. He only replied, "Of course, couples have a good relationship."

"Oh, really?" Li Yu laughed, which made Shi Xing very uncomfortable. "But in the Empire, isn't it the only way out for mature Blue Star people to be matched with imperial officials and become their partners?"

"I thought that, in a marriage relationship produced under such coercive means, there would not be much affection between the two parties."

Shi Xing said coldly: "You were wrong."

Li Yu was not annoyed, but still smiled, almost talking to himself, "But having been educated by the Empire since childhood, the people of Blue Star should not have much resistance to the matching. Including the past history of Blue Star, the Empire selectively instilled it into you, and you have no access to the most authentic and comprehensive records."

Shi Xing frowned: "What do you mean?"

Li Yu: "It seems that His Highness Shi Xing is very interested in the disappeared Blue Star."

"If you are interested, then do you know that the Empire once destroyed a large number of historical books and documents about Blue Star on the market?"

Shi Xing didn't know.

But when his spiritual sea dried up in his last life, Shi Xing had nothing better to do and flipped through the records of Blue Star. If Li Yu hadn't mentioned it, Shi Xing wouldn't have realized that the Empire's records of Blue Star were indeed less than those of other planets.

Even resource mineral planets like Campbell have four or five historical documents that have been handed down to this day. The knowledge about Blue Star in the Empire, including what he had learned, essentially came from only one historical document, and the publication date of the document...

If Shi Xing remembered correctly, it was a book number from the past hundred years, within a hundred years... This was obviously wrong.

Seeing Shi Xing thinking, Li Yu continued, "There are no less than five authoritative books about Blue Star in the alliance. If His Highness Shi Xing is interested, this is my contact number. Feel free to contact me at any time. I am happy to provide you with books and explain the contents in detail."

Li Yu smiled and handed over the contact number in his hand.

Shi Xing took a look at the piece of paper, and just when Li Yu thought he was safe, Shi Xing passed him by and left.

Li Yu's hand in the air froze.
