Qiao Lu's expression suddenly froze. He looked at Huo Wei in disbelief. "Marshal Huo, we have known each other since childhood. I thought you understood me. Even if you didn't, you should know how I feel about you. Then, isn't the reason I came to you obvious? To tell you something, right?"
"I didn't expect you to mistakenly think I had ulterior motives." Qiao Lu's voice was still tinged with pain, as if Howie had said something outrageous. "Your words really make me sad!"
Howie's eyes darkened. Perhaps because he had been with Li Shu for too long, he really disliked Qiao Lu's roundabout way of speaking.
He couldn't help but tut a little and said indifferently, "Your Highness, you are the crown prince of the empire, and I am the marshal of a country. Our two identities have already determined that there is no personal relationship between us. What's more, I have no interest in you!"
"So, I hope His Royal Highness will stop saying these ambiguous words. It will cause misunderstandings, and I don't like it."
Qiao Lusi: "..."
This guy doesn't like it, so he likes it?
If it weren't for... Qiao Lu suppressed the flash of anger in his heart and said again aggrievedly, "Qiao Lu, do you have to talk to me in this tone? Do we really have no future?"
"No!" Qiao Lu Si said firmly, "It was impossible before, it is impossible now, and it will be even more impossible in the future!"
"Why are you so sure?" Qiao Lusi glanced at the other person, and a thought suddenly came to his mind, "Could it be that you already have someone you like?"
This is not a blind guess by Qiao Lu, he has evidence. Although Qiao Lu didn't like him before, he didn't care about the ambiguous signals he sent out.
Now the other party suddenly didn't want to be misunderstood. After thinking about it, Qiao Lusi thought that there was only this one reason.
Thinking of this, Qiao Lu suddenly looked at Li Shu.
Li Shu felt a little uncomfortable with Qiao Lu's strange gaze. He frowned and said with a smile, "Your Highness, if you want to say something, you can just say it directly. There's no need to hold it in. If you hold it in and get sick, you'll be the one who suffers."
Qiao Lusi: "..."
Huo Wei saw what Qiao Lu was thinking. He couldn't help but frown. He reached out and pulled Li Shu up from his seat. He said in a deep voice, "It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has nothing to say. In that case, we will not disturb His Royal Highness here. Goodbye."
After saying that, without waiting for Li Shu to react, he pulled him out of the room.
"Hovey!"
When Qiao Lu reacted, Huo Wei had already pulled Li Shu away from his bedroom. Various expressions flashed across Qiao Lu's face. Finally, he let out a breath and suppressed the emotions surging in his mind.
The fact that Huo Wei can now transform into a human body means that the effect of Li Shu's plants can really cure the star beast completely. The appearance of the two this time is also Huo Wei's way of telling him that Li Shu is now his.
When Qiao Lu thought about the fact that he had not obtained Huo Wei's military power or Li Shu's plant formula this time, and even lost a star beast guard that he had privately raised, he couldn't help feeling anxious.
He didn't want to see military power crushing imperial power again, so he could only find a way to solve this problem!
Qiao Lusi's gaze towards the distance began to become increasingly profound, and he said in a deep voice, "Howie, don't blame me, you forced me to do this!"
In the silent and deserted room, Qiao Lu uttered a cold word in a low voice, making the whole room even more eerie and unpredictable.
…
After Huo Wei brought Li Shu out of Qiao Lu's room, he let go of Li Shu's hand.
"We're leaving now?" Li Shu was puzzled. "Didn't Qiao Lusi say he wanted to talk to us today? We left before we even said a few words."
Hearing this, Howie once again thought of Qiao Lusi's implication. He couldn't help but frown and said in a deep voice, "No need. I already know what he wants to say to me. I came here just to confirm it."
Having said this, he paused for a moment, then looked at Li Shu and said, "You must be careful during this period of time."
"I know." Li Shu was very touched by Huo Wei's concern, but he couldn't bear the other party's care for him as if he were a child. "I know, I will pay attention to it. Besides, didn't you say that Qiao Lu Si would not make too much trouble here for the sake of his reputation?"
"It's better to be safe than sorry." Howie's expression became serious. He had a bad feeling when meeting Qiao Lu this time. "Normally, he wouldn't do anything, but I'm worried that he might go crazy suddenly. If that happens, you won't be able to handle it, and you might get into trouble."
Li Shu nodded upon seeing this and said seriously, "Okay, I'll pay attention, and you too. He's targeting me, and he's targeting you as well."
"Um."
After the two of them talked it out, they became more cautious when they went out. In order to prevent Qiao Lu from suddenly attacking Li Shu, Huo Wei also specially ordered a set of thin metal clothes for Li Shu. This kind of clothes is as thin as paper, but can withstand the sneak attacks of ordinary star beasts.
They continued like this for nearly a week, but no one came to see them.
The long period of vigilance also made Li Shu relax a little. Even when he was in a team to kill zombies in his previous life, he had to relax and work hard. It was impossible for him to be tense every day.
After so many days of persistence, Li Shu was really beginning to feel the strain. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Huo Wei, I can't stand being so intensely focused every day. How about we relax our guard?"
Huo Wei frowned and was about to say something, but before he could finish his words, Li Shu suppressed him, "I know you are worried that someone will plot against us behind our backs, but there is only a thief who can steal for a thousand days, how can you be on guard against thieves for a thousand days?"
"According to what you said, Qiao Lu Si will come sooner or later. In that case, we should eat and drink well every day. Then when the people he sends show up, we can fight them with our own strength. Wouldn't that be more comfortable than now?"
Hearing this, Huo Wei looked at Li Shu deeply, then smiled and said, "I'll listen to you."
Li Shu's smile grew even wider. "This should have happened a long time ago. Come on! Accompany me to the city to buy some gifts for Snow Leopard and the others."
Huo Wei frowned, with a hint of displeasure between his brows. Although Li Shu had become a human now, his animal nature still occupied a part of his rationality. Li Shu was his, but the other party had not bought him a gift yet, but bought one for the group of brats first. He felt uncomfortable.
Before he could refuse, Li Shu smiled and explained, "A few days ago, fans asked me to dress up the snow leopards and rank the most beautiful cubs. Because it's dangerous during this period, I haven't taken any action. Now that I'm not keeping a close eye on Qiao Lu Si, it's time to prepare for the beauty pageant."
Huo Wei: "..."
He coughed lightly and offered, "I'll help."
