After returning home, Qi Yan took a shower, put on a black bathrobe, and went to Lu Fenghan to cut his nails.

His fingers were gently held up, and Lu Fenghan, who was sitting next to him, lowered his eyes and was very focused. Qi Yan could even clearly feel the rough lines on Lu Fenghan's palms.

Thinking of what Jiang Qi said when he stopped him in the club, Qi Yan's heart surged with irritation again. He carefully compared it to make sure that the same emotion had never appeared before, which made him a little overwhelmed.

After hesitating for two seconds, Qi Yan finally spoke: "I'm not happy."

Lu Fenghan stopped what he was doing, looked up and asked him: "Why are you unhappy?"

Qi Yan did not answer, but asked another question: "Lu Fenghan, will you sign a contract with others?"

"No," Lu Fenghan casually rubbed Qi Yan's newly trimmed nails with his fingertips to test the smoothness, and replied, "Little Confused, do you think everyone is as stupid as you and can offer a price of 10 million star coins?"

"I'm not stupid." Qi Yan eliminated the interference factors as if he was doing an experimental design, "If someone also offered the same price as me, or a higher price than me, would you sign a contract with him?"

Lu Fenghan thought about it carefully.

He would sign the contract given by Qi Yan for many reasons.

He had just escaped death from the front line, Qi Yan saved his life, the high medical expenses, Qi Yan's suspicious identity and attitude... these were all necessary conditions for the establishment of the contract.

The right time node, a coincidence, will not happen again.

So Lu Fenghan replied: "No, how could I be bribed by a mere sum of money."

Seeing that Qi Yan seemed to be relieved, Lu Fenghan threw the question back: "What about you? If you encounter the same thing, will you save that person, sign a contract with him, and let him protect your safety?"

After asking this question, Lu Fenghan subconsciously wanted to take it back and pretend that he had never asked it.

His heart was hanging, and even when he was waiting for Qi Yan's answer, every second became slower.

Qi Yan shook his head without hesitation: "I will only save you."

If the injured person was not Lu Fenghan, he would wonder if this was a trap set for him.

He would contact emergency personnel, but would never contact this person, let alone keep him by his side.

Lu Fenghan thought that although Qi Yan spoke little, every word he said made him extremely satisfied.

Qi Yan finished answering before answering Lu Fenghan's initial question: "I'm unhappy because Jiang Qi wants to take you away. I'm very angry when he has this idea, he can't think like that."

"You can't even think about it? You're really overbearing." Lu Fenghan laughed when he heard it, and then said in a tolerant tone, "Okay, you can't take me away. Even if someone gives me 50 million five times the money, I won't leave."

He remembered, "What about what you told Jiang Qi, that he is only three months younger than you?"

"That's what I said." Qi Yan mentioned it as if he was just stating a fact that had nothing to do with him. "Jiang Qi is the child of Qi Wenshao and Jiang Yunyue, born only three months later than me. According to the Alliance Law, legitimate children and legally qualified adopted children can inherit property, but illegitimate children do not have inheritance rights. So after Qi Wenshao and Jiang Yunyue got married, they did not disclose Jiang Qi's identity."

Lu Fenghan thought of the celebration at the Qi family and felt ironic.

"Jiang Qi and Jiang Yunyue are very hostile to me, probably because they are afraid that I will compete with them for the inheritance rights of the property." Qi Yan said calmly, "Now they should still be worried that I will tell this secret."

Just as Qi Yan guessed.

After Jiang Qi returned home, he bypassed the garden landscaping and the household robots that came and went, and hurried to the greenhouse to look for Jiang Yunyue.

Jiang Yunyue was not outstanding in appearance, but after being the wife of the Qi family for a few years, her temperament became more and more elegant, and she spoke and acted slowly, with a bit of the demeanor of a noble lady.

She was holding a bouquet of flowers, and when she saw Jiang Qi hurried in, she was surprised: "Didn't you go to a party with your good friends? Why did you come back so early?"

"I met Qi Yan. Xia Zhiyang and the others called him."

"The Xia family has always looked down on us mother and son, so it's normal for them to dislike you," Jiang Yunyue saw the panic in Jiang Qi's eyes, "What happened?"

Jiang Qi made sure that there was no one else, then he said what he had turned over in his heart countless times: "Qi Yan knows! He knows that I am Dad's biological child, and he knows that I am only three months younger than him! Didn't you say this was a secret and no one else knew it?"

Jiang Yunyue stopped smiling: "What happened at that time?"

Jiang Qi told him the words he had said to provoke Qi Yan.

"How many times have I told you to keep your composure! The weaker you appear in front of Qiyan, the more your father will favor you. He has always felt guilty because he cannot let you stand in front of others openly and openly as Qiyan's family. , I always want to make up for you. The more you feel wronged, the more he will feel sorry for you and make up for you. You can't let your temper be so domineering." Although Jiang Yunyue was preaching, her tone was not serious at all, "But as long as no one sees it, it doesn't matter."

"Mom, I know, I won't be that stupid." Jiang Qi was angry, "You keep saying that dad likes me and doesn't like Qiyan, but he hasn't hidden it from us and has been secretly helping Qiyan!"

"This is an adult matter, don't think too much about it." Jiang Yunyue saw that he was indeed frightened by Qi Yan, and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, no matter how smart Qi Yan is or how good his grades are, he is only a 19-year-old boy. He has no one to rely on in Leto. No matter how arrogant he is now, if he really encounters trouble, he will eventually come to your father for help. Unless he wants to turn against your father completely, he will never dare to tell this secret without authorization."

Jiang Qi always believed in Jiang Yunyue, and his heart was at ease. He asked again: "Mom, is Qi Yan's mother really dead?"

"You mean Lin Zhi? She died eight years ago." Jiang Yunyue patted Jiang Qi on the shoulder. "You see, your father has always protected you. He married your mother only after Lin Zhi died, just to make sure that you can be legitimate whether you appear in public or inherit the Qi family's property in the future, without causing gossip from others. You should study hard and don't be afraid. No matter what happens, your mother will help you."

After Jiang Qi left the greenhouse, Jiang Yunyue continued to trim the branches, and the gemstone table on her wrist reflected the light.

She remembered that when Lin Zhi was there, her son was obviously Qi Wenshao's biological son, but he could only take her surname. At that time, Lin Zhi blocked her way, and she had no choice. Now, if Lin Zhi's son blocks her child's way, it would be hard to say.

The next day was a public class, and Qi Yan led Lu Fenghan to the classroom. Just as they turned a corner, they heard someone shout in surprise: "Brother!"

Lu Fenghan knew who it was without even looking, and thought that this guy named Jiang Qi would be quiet for two days, but he didn't expect that he would come up to them with a smile on his face.

Jiang Qi seemed to have completely forgotten yesterday's episode, and asked cautiously: "Brother, no, Qi Yan, do you find me annoying? I just want to talk to you." Qi

Yan ignored him and walked forward.

Jiang Qi noticed the eyes gathered around him, pretended to reach out to pull Qi Yan in front of him, and said aggrievedly: "Are you angry with me again?" Qi Yan

was not careful for a moment, and was grabbed by Jiang Qi's arm. He stopped and looked coldly: "Let go."

Jiang Qi let go of his hand embarrassedly, and was about to pretend to be pitiful and say a few more words, but unexpectedly, he saw Qi Yan turned to the person next to him and said "It hurts".

Lu Fenghan pulled Qi Yan's hand and found a red patch on his arm and a few marks. Looking at Jiang Qi's hand again, he saw a decorative ring with a sharp protrusion on his middle finger.

Xia Zhiyang happened to pass by and saw that Qi Yan's arm was red. He exclaimed: "Why is it so serious? Jiang Qi, no matter how much you hate Qi Yan, you can't do such a little thing! The ring you wear has so many rivets, do you really think it won't hurt when it pierces people?"

"I don't!" Jiang Qi had some intentions and deliberately used his left hand with the ring on it to pull people. Of course, it would be uncomfortable to be pierced by several rivets, but who can see it?

"The ring is on your hand, how can you have the nerve to say that you didn't do it on purpose? If you didn't pull Qi Yan's arm hard on purpose, how could the rivets leave such a serious mark?" Xia Zhiyang originally wanted to imitate Jiang Qi's tone and say a few words, but he couldn't perform on the spot, which was a pity.

Jiang Qi knew that the more he talked, the more wrong he was, so he simply put his hand with the ring on it behind his back and walked away quickly amid everyone's questioning gazes.

Xia Zhiyang was very happy: "So that he won't always look cautious and pitiful in front of everyone, as if you always bully him!" He asked Qi Yan for credit again, "Did I perform well? It's more satisfying to give him a taste of his own medicine than to fight him directly!"

Seeing Qi Yan nod, Xia Zhiyang smiled brightly: "Next time I have the chance, I will do my best to make him angry to death!"

Without entering the classroom, Lu Fenghan saw that there was still time before class, so he took Qi Yan to the balcony in the corner and looked at his arm carefully: "Does it still hurt?"

In fact, this pain was already bearable, but Qi Yan thought of something and answered, "It hurts more."

He was not good at lying and did not dare to look Lu Fenghan in the eye.

Knowing that Qi Yan's pain perception was much more sensitive than that of ordinary people, Lu Fenghan did not dare to touch him too much. He took out the healing gel he brought with him and applied it.

After applying it, he saw Qi Yan looking at him expectantly. Lu Fenghan knew it clearly, but he deliberately asked: "What's wrong?"

Qi Yan reminded: "Bandage."

"The healing gel is enough, and the bandage is not needed."

Qi Yan did not say anything, but the expectation in his eyes was extinguished.

Unable to see Qi Yan disappointed, Lu Fenghan compromised again, "What a little spoiled child." As he said, he took out the bandage and wrapped it around his arm twice, and finally tied a standard bow neatly under Qi Yan's sight.

Qi Yan looked at the bow from left to right twice, and then he was satisfied.

Until he got home at night, Qi Yan refused to let Lu Fenghan help him remove the bandage, and he even took precautions when taking a shower - after taking a shower, the bandage was not wet.

Lu Fenghan could not understand this obsession at all.

He entered the study room with a cup of water. Qi Yan was facing the computer, not knowing what he was doing. He caught a glimpse of the bow swaying near Qi Yan's wrist. Lu Fenghan prepared himself mentally - there are thousands of planets and so many humans, everyone has some little habits.

He handed the water over, and thinking of finding Qi Yan sleeping late for several times in a row, Lu Fenghan asked, "Why do you always stay up late recently?"

"I'm working on something, it's very complicated, and I'm afraid I don't have enough time," Qi Yan said without much further ado, and took the cup to drink water.

The edges of his nails were trimmed smooth by Lu Fenghan, and his fingers resting on the cup were very eye-catching.

Lu Fenghan leaned against the table, his eyes moved around Qi Yan's fingertips twice, thinking that he sometimes had the same feeling as Qi Yan.

He was alone and not afraid of death, but worried that he didn't have enough time to do everything he wanted to do.

The rebels were eyeing the front line of the Southern Cross Region, waiting for an opportunity to seize, and interstellar pirates were also lingering. When he was young and frivolous, he made a vow to uproot the rebels and solve the Alliance's biggest problem within 20 years. But now ten years have passed, not to mention the collapse, he himself almost ended up dying in battle.

During the two months in Leto, he gradually realized, whether because he was too idle or because he had developed a sentimental habit, that Leto would not disappear and the alliance would not be destroyed without him, Lu Fenghan.

Just like when Lu Jun suddenly died in battle, he managed to grow up to this day.

Even if he really died in battle, someone would take his place. Vincent and the others might shed a few tears, but they would still have their own lives and goals.

After all, no one had to be Lu Fenghan.

He was not irreplaceable.

After Qi Yan finished drinking the water, Lu Fenghan asked the same question as before: "Qi Yan, if you meet a person who is seriously injured and falls in front of you, will you save him, sign a contract with him, and let him protect you?"

Qi Yan was puzzled, but still answered truthfully: "No, I will only save you, sign a contract with you, and let you protect my safety."

Lu Fenghan's eyes deepened slightly, staring at the person in front of him: "Except me, no one else can do it?"

Qi Yan affirmed: "Yes."

At this moment, Lu Fenghan couldn't help but raised his hand and touched Qi Yan's thin eyelids.

It was obviously an extremely abrupt action, but Qi Yan did not avoid it at all except blinking.

Lu Fenghan laughed.

How can there be so much sentimentality?

At least in Qi Yan's eyes, he is irreplaceable.
