Upon hearing this, Leilos was startled, and his composed expression changed slightly.
Distant memories, like a dam bursting, surged into his mind like a raging torrent.
Xiao Guai, Chen Chen, every word and every name was familiar to him, and could unearth memories that he had deliberately hidden and did not want to be mentioned.
Long-buried memories were stirred up. The person in front of him wore a faded t-shirt, trousers that looked like they had been worn for a long time but were washed clean, beautiful purple eyes, slightly long hair, and an androgynous face, but none of them resembled the person in his memory.
Bo Jichen stretched out his hand, taking in Lei Luosi's expression. His eyes were smiling as he waited quietly for him, as if he would wait for him even if Lei Luosi didn't extend his hand to him or hold his hand.
Leilos couldn't suppress the sudden shock in his heart, nor could he seal away the memories that had been stirred up. His mind was unusually chaotic, so he made up a lame excuse: "I'm sorry, Bo, I was just cleaning and my hands are a little dirty. I can't shake your hand. Please come in, I'll go wash my hands and I'll be right back."
A hint of regret flashed in Bo Jichen's eyes. He didn't shake hands with it. He chickened out. He was afraid. Well, it's understandable. Eight years ago, he thought someone was dead. Now, someone has come back to life, dressed in men's clothing. Anyone would find it hard to accept or believe it.
Bo Jichen's lips curled up slightly, his smile genuine: "Okay!"
Leilos stared at it, then retreated into the house, crossed the small hall, entered his own room, closed his door, and couldn't suppress the pounding of his heart, which was filled with disbelief.
Bo Jichen carried a bag and dragged his suitcase inside. He glanced at the room opposite Lei Luosi and went in. In the bedroom, which was less than 10 square meters, the first thing he saw was a 2-meter by 1.5-meter bed with a wrinkle-free military green sheet on it.
There was a neatly folded quilt on the bed sheet, a wardrobe, a study desk, and a stool—that was all the stuff in the bedroom.
Bo Jichen tossed the broken box into the closet, threw his backpack onto the bed, took out the red apple star diamond jewelry around his neck, kissed it, stuffed it back into his clothes, and went out the door.
He strolled slowly to Relos's door, knocked three times, took two steps back, and waited for the door to open before asking, deliberately with a hint of apprehension, "Excuse me, do you know where to get your school uniform?"
Leilos had a thousand questions he wanted to ask, but he was afraid that, just like before, after finally getting along with Xiao Guai and persuading his parents to adopt her, she would die.
The person in front of me has the nickname "Xiao Guai" (小乖), which is the name Xiao Guai used to make, but he is not Xiao Guai. Xiao Guai is a girl, and he is a boy.
Leilos barely suppressed a breath and asked, "You haven't picked up your school uniform yet? Weren't you given it to you when you registered?"
Bo Jichen shook his head: "No, they just registered me during the registration process, they didn't say anything or give me anything."
Relos frowned slightly: "You shouldn't have not given me a school uniform when I registered... Wait, what was your freshman number when you entered?"
Bo Jichen looked at him and said with extreme humility, "I didn't do very well on the exam; I was second among the freshmen."
Relos: "!!!!"
Second place for freshmen!
No wonder the registration teacher didn't give him a school uniform.
The top 10 freshmen in their grade will have their school uniforms delivered by a robot tomorrow.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Bo Jichen asked, "Excuse me, what number are you among the freshmen?"
Relos replied, "New students come first."
Bo Jichen exclaimed in surprise, his purple eyes filled with admiration: "You're the top freshman! You're amazing!"
Relos replied modestly, "Just lucky."
Bo Jichen quickly waved his hand, deliberately showing envy and playing the victim, saying in a teasy tone: "Your success is not luck, it's ability. Unlike me, I put in so much effort and thought. Before the cultural exam, I only slept three hours a day and had no money. I could only have two nutrient solutions a day. I almost fainted in the exam room before I got second place."
"My situation was even worse before the physical fitness test. I only slept two hours a day. I didn't have a professional physical trainer or a professional superpower instructor. I had to figure it out on my own. After half a day of figuring it out, I was so badly injured that I almost vomited blood and my internal organs were damaged. I barely managed to get second place."
“You are different. You are number one because there is only a limit to your full potential in the ability to split your body into parts, not your complete strength.”
Leilos's brows furrowed into a deep frown. The 18-year-old boy, because of his beloved little darling, felt a pang of sympathy as he watched her casually recount her suffering. He slowly asked, "Where are your family?"
A shadow of sadness crossed Bo Jichen's eyes, but he forced a strong expression and shrugged: "I have no family. I'm an orphan. I used to live on the junk planet Aylers in the 10th star system, but I was later taken to an orphanage on Awang Star in the 9th star system."
"You know, the 9th Star System is not as good as the capital star of the 1st Star System. The orphanage provides food and schooling, but the food is not good and the teaching cannot keep up. You have to rely on yourself for everything."
"However, I am relatively lucky. I am tall and have superpowers, so I can secretly do odd jobs to support myself and give myself extra meals. Although it is hard, I can still get by."
Leilos's hand trembled slightly as he looked at it, trying to find a familiar resemblance in its face. But there was nothing, except for the similarity in the shape of its eyes.
Bo Jichen's purple eyes didn't miss any subtle changes in Lei Luosi, and he even caught the heartache that flashed in Lei Luosi's eyes and the slight trembling of his fingertips.
He paused briefly, then delivered a fatal blow to Relos's heart: "But I have an older brother."
Relos's heart skipped a beat, and he exclaimed, "You have an older brother? Where is he?"
Bo Jichen sighed softly, "They're gone. Before I had my brother, I had an older sister. My sister is gone too, and so is my brother."
"But it doesn't matter. I've been admitted to the top military academy. The aunties at the orphanage all say that as long as I stand tall enough and become strong enough, my brother will come looking for me when he sees me."
“My brother said he would take care of me. Although others said he was a liar who said he would take care of me but then abandoned me, I always believed that he would take care of me. It’s just that we got separated.”
It occupied the highest moral ground, making Leilos feel heartache and causing his long-standing memories to churn and never calm down. His heart screamed, "Xiao Guai is right in front of me, Xiao Guai, the Xiao Guai I've been separated from for 8 years."
But on the other hand, they were shouting at him, saying that he wasn't Xiao Guai, he wasn't Xiao Guai, Xiao Guai was a girl, a pretty girl, a cute little sister.
Relos's hand slowly tightened: "You applied to the First Military Academy just so he could find you, so he could see you?"
Bo Jichen swept away the sadness in his eyes and smiled brightly: "Yes, I applied to the First Military Academy and studied hard so that he could find me."
"By the way, I still don't know your name, classmate, or what month you were born?"
Leilos looked at him and said slowly, "My name is Leilos, and I was born on August 30th."
Bo Jichen chuckled and said, "You were born on August 30th, and I was born on August 31st. I'm one day younger than you, so I'll call you 'brother' from now on."
Leilos's heart trembled again as he looked at the overly familiar person in front of him, who seemed to be calling him "brother" even though Xiao Guai was clearly three years younger than him.
Relos asked, "How old are you? Are you over 18?"
Bo Jichen lowered his voice and deliberately moved closer to Lei Luosi like a thief.
When someone suddenly approached, Relos reflexively stepped back, creating distance between them.
Upon seeing this, Bo Jichen's expression changed. He straightened up, his face grim: "Of course I'm over 18. Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to ask why I don't have my school uniform..."
He's angry...
These four words popped into Leilos's mind.
My evasion just now angered him.
Leilos hurriedly said, "The top 10 freshmen will have their school uniforms delivered by robots tomorrow. You don't need to go there; you just need to wait here."
Bo Jichen gave a muffled "Oh," and said, "Thank you, Lei. I'm a little tired, I'll go back and rest now. See you tomorrow."
After speaking, Bo Jichen turned around and strode into his room, closing the door to block Lei Luosi's view, much like a villain who stirs up a pond and then leaves without a care.
Their rooms face each other, with a small living room in between. The living room contains two small sofas, a coffee table, and a water purifier.
Relos stood there, staring at the closed door opposite him. He clenched his fist, then loosened it, then clenched it again. He stared for a long, long time before returning to his room, closing the door, and making a call.
An hour later, all the information about Bo Jichen appeared in his personal computer. The information was simple, and the only thing that stood out was his grades, which were always at the top and number one.
Looking at his photos at age 7, apart from the difference in eye color, he looked exactly like a cute little boy. As he grew older, it really proved the saying that children change a lot as they grow up, becoming more and more handsome and less and less like he did when he was little...
Bo Jichen lay on the bed, watching his information being investigated. He gave himself a thumbs up for his cleverness, thinking that he was really smart and had thought of everything that was possible.
Although he didn't live in the 9th star system of the Troia Empire for very long, not only were the records meticulously prepared, but even if you sent someone to investigate, you could find out that he existed. Don't ask, the answer is that money makes the world go round, it's all about the power of money.
But it has hinted at so much, played so many direct shots, and the boy it has been waiting to see for eight years has not yet faced it directly and acknowledged it. It still needs to work hard.
Sigh, living under the same roof is a bit of a nightmare. Look at the scales on its arms. Even it finds them rampant and creepy. If the boy it has been waiting for for 8 years saw them, would he be scared out of his wits?
Bo Jichen pointed his left finger at his right arm. "These are useless scales. If a child who has just come of age is like this, what will happen if something happens in the future?"
Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'm going to sleep. I'll think about it after I've had a good night's rest.
Bo Jichen put away the new quantum computer, but wore an old model on his wrist that was more than ten years old, with a screen that was half black and half blurry.
It slept soundly here, oblivious to everything else. Across from it, Leilos stared at the documents, his heart filled with mixed emotions and deep contradictions. Even if he didn't believe it, the documents showed that his sister from eight years ago had become his brother.
He tried hard to recall that eight years ago, during the half-month he spent with Xiao Guai, the 10-year-old boy learned that he shouldn't watch girls bathe or help them bathe.
With Xiaoguai around, she can take a bath by herself every time. After the bath, she gets dressed neatly, and then he dries her hair.
When Xiao Guai slept with him, she wore his pajamas, all neatly dressed. Apart from her little hands, feet, face, and neck being exposed, there was no part of her body that indicated her gender...
When Bo Jichen woke up, it was already afternoon. He sat up, looked at the unfamiliar surroundings, took an old bath towel from the box, and left the room.
Hearing the sound, Leilos, who was sitting in the hall, looked at it and asked, "Little...Bo, what are you doing?"
Bo Jichen sat outside facing him, showing no surprise whatsoever; everything was within its predictable grasp. "I'm going to take a shower, change my clothes, and get my nutrient solution. I haven't eaten anything since yesterday!"
Relos jumped up: "You haven't eaten anything since yesterday, almost 24 hours?"
Bo Jichen pretended to be dumbfounded: "Yes, although I ranked second among the freshmen of the First Military Academy, my planet gave me some bonuses, and the school also gave me some bonuses, but they said the First Military Academy provides food, so I didn't buy any extra nutrient solutions."
"Of course, I'm used to being hungry. It's only been 24 hours without food. My record is about 5 days and I ate one nutritional supplement. I'm used to it, I'm used to it, it's okay."
His record of eating one nutrient pill in 5 days wasn't because of a job hunting a space pirate. The dead space pirate ran to a desert planet and chased him for 5 days, so he didn't have time to eat.
However, it didn't lose out at all. The Death Star Thief was worth 2 million Star Coins, and it didn't have to share those 2 million Star Coins with Yu Feifei; they were all its own.
Leilos looked at it carefully, scrutinizing it. It was over 1.8 meters tall and very thin. Perhaps because it had just slept, its face was pale but had a rosy glow.
"Wait a minute." Relos couldn't deny that he felt sorry for him after hearing that he had been separated from it for eight years and had been living a life of hunger and irregular meals.
Bo Jichen exclaimed, "Wait a minute, what's wrong?"
Leilos ignored it, quickly went into his room, took out his spatial key, and took out several tubes of nutrient solution, handing them to it: "It's not good to be hungry, here you go eat this."
Bo Jichen mentally gave himself a thumbs-up, then pushed the bottle away, saying pitifully, "No need, no need. I'll get it after I take a shower. I've seen the brand of this nutrient solution online before; it's very expensive. Just this one tube you have costs 1000 star coins."
“1000 star coins, that’s like three months’ wages when I was a teenager. I can’t just eat your 1000 star coin food for no reason, it’s too expensive.”
Bo Jichen, that old green tea bitch, with his teasing words, instantly made Lei Luosi feel sorry for him. He had only earned 1,000 star coins after working for three months.
The nutrients it consumes are the most basic and lowest quality versions, costing one or two star coins per vial, or even less. They might even be produced in shady workshops for a few cents per vial.
Leilos pulled its hand and placed several tubes of nutrient solution in it: "It's not expensive. This isn't the brand you're looking at, but it's similar to the brand you're looking at. This is very cheap, you can eat it."
Bo Jichen deliberately paused for a moment, disbelieving: "It's really cheap, so cheap, 10 star coins a tube. That's still expensive. The most expensive one I've ever had was 5 star coins a tube, and that was because someone saw that I was small, pitiful, and hardworking, so they gave it to me."
"Ah, no, no..." Bo Jichen, this old green tea, said, denying himself: "The most expensive one I ever ate was a tube that cost 50 star coins. A rich family's young master bit into it, thought it didn't taste good, and threw it away. I picked it up and ate it."
Relos's voice trembled: "You've even picked up food that other people threw away and ate it?"
Bo Jichen, with an air of arrogance and fearlessness, said, "What's the big deal? That young master only took one bite and then threw it away. It's just a full tube."
“I’ve already cut the incision, so I don’t have to worry about saliva or infectious diseases. Besides, it’s only 50 star coins a tube, while I only get 20 star coins a day at work.”
“Let me tell you, Lei, I’m not like you. You have food and drink. If you really didn’t have food and drink, you would dream at night that someone would throw 50 star coins of nutritional supplements into your mouth every day so you could pick them up and eat them and not go hungry.”
Leilos suppressed a sigh and said, "You're not allowed to pick up other people's food to eat from now on."
The boy's voice had changed, becoming more composed and steady.
Bo Jichen praised himself in his heart, but said aloud, "If I don't eat other people's food, will you support me?"
Without a second thought, Relos said, "I'll take care of you!"
Bo Jichen mentally gave himself another thumbs up, praising himself for being awesome, and then held up the nutrient solution in his hand, saying, "Lei, I'm a big spender, you probably can't afford to support me."
"But thank you anyway. I don't need these nutrients; one vial is enough for me. Thank you!"
Bo Jichen knew how to fish and how to make Lei Luosi feel sorry for him. After he finished speaking, he threw the several tubes of nutrient solution on the coffee table, took only one tube, bit it open and held it in his mouth, and walked into the bathroom as if no one else was there.
Leilos watched it go into the bathroom. Looking at the nutrient solution on the table, he felt both heartache and anger, completely forgetting what had happened before. He thought about turning back to acknowledge it and asking it why it had lied to him and that he was its sister.
I feel so sorry for He Qi now.
I feel sorry for him because he has had such a hard time for the past eight years, yet he still had to be positive, study hard, and get into the top military academy.
The First Military Academy is incredibly difficult to get into. It's not just about passing the liberal arts exam; you also need physical fitness and special abilities. Every year, there are 20 to 30 million graduating students, and only a select 2,000 outstanding students are chosen from among them.
He had to endure so much hardship and suffer so many scornful looks to get into the top military academy. When I touched his hand, which was just being given nutrient solution, I could see how rough his hands were and how calloused his palms were.
He was angry at himself for assuming he was dead after the spaceship exploded, and for not sending anyone to search for him.
He still remembered his older brother, remembered that his name was Xiao Guai, and remembered that the name he chose was Chenchen. He sealed him away in his memory, intending to... leave behind.
Bo Jichen closed the bathroom door, threw away the empty nutrient solution tube, took off his clothes, hummed a song, and went to take a shower.
It doesn't care whether outsiders can hear it or not. If they can hear it, it means it's positive and sunny; if they can't hear it, it means the house is well-insulated.
It took it half an hour to take a bath. After it was done, it wrapped an old bath towel around its waist, went out with its upper body bare, its head still wet, and a small red apple pendant around its neck, all in a very nonchalant and blatant manner.
When Lei Luos looked up, he saw the small red apple star diamond pendant hanging around Bo Jichen's neck with a red string, as well as the bruises on his body.
Bo Jichen's lips curled into a smile. Seeing the way the boy it hadn't seen for eight years was staring at it, it was worth it for it to take a bath without clothes and only bring a towel.
It was well worth it that before it left Yu Feifei and faked its death, it went and swept through three underground boxing rings in the no-man's-land, winning nearly 100 million and getting bruises all over its body.
Bo Jichen walked over casually, waving his still-wet hand in front of Lei Luosi's eyes: "Lei Luosi, what's wrong with you? Are you interested in my amulet?"
Relos snapped back to reality, his eyes fixed on him: "How did you get injured?"
Bo Jichen pretended to be taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said nonchalantly, "How else could I have been injured? Before coming to the First Military Academy, there are regional selections to assess physical fitness and special abilities. I fought with them and practiced with them. That's how it is."
"Before coming to the First Military Academy, I heard that the cost of living on the capital planet was very high. Even though the First Military Academy provided food, drink, accommodation and clothes, it would still cost money to go out on occasional holidays. So I went to fight a few boxing matches and earned some money, and that's how I ended up like this."
"But it's okay, my amulet will protect me. See this? A little red apple. It's my amulet. I didn't sell it even when someone offered me 200,000 star coins. My brother gave it to me."
Every word it uttered was like a knife, stabbing at Leilos's heart, causing him pain, making him feel foolish, and making him feel that he shouldn't have failed to send someone to look for it.
Relos took a deep breath: "Get dressed, I'll take you to the school's treatment center."
Bo Jichen looked completely bewildered: "Why go to the school's treatment department? There's no broken skin, it'll heal in half a month, no need for such troublesome treatment."
Leilos said forcefully, "No, we have to go."
Bo Jichen instantly transformed from a tiger into a soft kitten. He let out an "oh," put down the red apple star diamond pendant in his hand, and felt a deep sense of regret. Logically speaking, now that he had seen the little pendant, shouldn't he have stretched out his arms, hugged it tightly, and called it "Little Darling"?
Pretend you don't know it!
Ha, what a scumbag!
When Bo Jichen came out again, the red apple star diamond pendant around his neck was stuck in the little bun at the back of his head, revealing his face, eyebrows and eyes. He had deep purple eyes, was incredibly beautiful, and had an androgynous face that was both feminine and masculine.
With his slender yet upright figure, even dressed in ordinary, faded clothes, his overall demeanor was sharp and commanding, making him impossible to ignore.
Of course… Bo Jichen deliberately suppressed his aura, otherwise, given that he had been out in the world for 8 years, with blood on his hands, and the way he could kill someone with a punch to the head or a kick, he was obviously not a good person.
He waited for it at the door of Leilos's room, and as soon as it came out, he took the lead and left.
Bo Jichen: "!!!!"
What does this mean?
Did it not offend him?
Why is he acting like he doesn't want to touch me?
Bo Jichen hurriedly went out and followed him: "Lei, there's really no need to go to the school's treatment center. I'm used to it. If I'm not better in three to five days, it might take half a month. If I'm not better in half a month, it will eventually get better in about 20 days. Going to the treatment center will just cost money..."
"Don't say anything now. Whether you spend money or not, it's all on me!" Leilosk told himself that he hadn't called him Xiaoguai or Chenchen, yet he was still here, not taking his injuries seriously.
It's all his own fault. If he had been more attentive eight years ago and had someone check on him, he would have known he wasn't dead and could have brought him to his side.
If he takes care of him, he won't have to suffer so much, won't have to be constrained by spending money, and won't lack common sense by thinking that the school's treatment department needs to cost a lot of money.
Bo Jichen shut up and really didn't say anything. He followed Lei Luosi leisurely, as if he were at home, through the corridor, into the elevator, and downstairs.
During the registration season, many people come and go, all with smiles on their faces, happy and happier. Whether they know each other or not, they greet each other as they pass by.
Leilos's face used to appear in the news twice a year, but now many people see him at school and greet him.
When others greeted him, he returned the greeting with a smile, leaving those who saw him and those who greeted him staring at his departing figure, exclaiming, "His Highness the Crown Prince is so approachable and handsome."
"He's not only good-looking, but he also has a great temperament. He looks like he was raised in a wealthy family and has the appearance of a top aristocrat. His appearance and bone structure are so attractive."
"What do you mean by saying that he looks like a top-tier noble? That's such an offensive statement. Compared to the Crown Prince, what are top-tier nobles? Do you even know how to use a metaphor?"
"I don't know how to use metaphors, I don't know how to use metaphors, but... who is that behind him? I've never heard of him having any friends, I've never heard of any friends coming to school with him."
Does the Crown Prince have any friends?
The answer is no.
"It's probably a new roommate. I heard that this year, the freshmen of the First Military Academy were assigned according to their ranking. The top 50 freshmen were paired up in a dormitory, the top 100 were paired up in a dormitory ...
"With my grades, there are five people in one dormitory, so the person following behind the Crown Prince should be the second freshman, and the Crown Prince is the first."
"You tell me, you tell me, the Crown Prince is the heir to the throne, born with 15 star systems in the Troia Empire. He's good-looking, has a great physique, and a great temperament. Why is he still working so hard? Isn't this just a blow to our lives?"
"You're so sensitive, thinking the Crown Prince is trying to put you down. Bah, I think it's the exact opposite. He's not putting you down, nor is he putting me down. He's encouraging us. Excellent people should become even more excellent. We can't rely on our family's wealth and power to be ignorant and lazy, becoming a spoiled brat or someone who just sits around waiting to die."
"Yes, yes, yes, what my classmate said is right. That's exactly what the Crown Prince meant. The Crown Prince is our role model and our motivation to keep studying."
"We must study hard, become even better like him, serve our country, and protect the people of the Troya Empire."
Bo Jichen isn't here. If he were, he would definitely applaud and shout a few words: "That's right, that's right! We should learn from his youth."
In the treatment department of the First Military Academy, the people coming and going were mostly upperclassmen. They wore either light blue t-shirts and light blue military pants, or light blue camouflage uniforms, or red camouflage uniforms, exuding both flamboyance and solemnity.
Bo Jichen and Lei Luosi, dressed in their own clothes, arrived at the treatment department, like large mutated beasts entering a zoo, attracting the attention of passersby.
Especially Leilos, besides his face, his height of over 1.8 meters, plus his status, he is a moving radiant body, attracting attention and drawing eyeballs.
Bo Jichen, disguised as a complete novice, followed Lei Luo Si step by step, watching him register and scan his ID code with his personal terminal. And when Lei Luo Si's personal terminal screen malfunctioned, the heartache deep in his eyes deepened.
After registering and scanning his ID code, Bo Jichen deliberately asked, "Is each treatment very expensive?"
This cautious question made Leilos feel even more distressed, so he directly said it wasn't expensive and was free.
Bo Jichen's eyes lit up, and he happily followed Reynolds into the treatment room, where the best treatment chamber and treatment fluid were used.
Before lying down, Bo Jichen took off the red apple gem that was tied in a small tuft at the back of his head and handed it to Lei Luosi along with the broken light brain.
The two items that Leilos held in his hands, especially the small red apple gem, were gifts from him. Their feel, style, and everything else seemed to tell him that Xiao Guai had returned to his side, Xiao Guai had returned to his presence.
Because of Xiao Guai's experiences, and because Xiao Guai went to great lengths to come to the First Military Academy to find her brother and let him see her, Lei Luosi could not bring himself to be angry that she had gone from being a sister to a brother.
They even made excuses for him, saying that at the underground trading post on Planet Aylers in the 10th Star System, not only were girls threatening him, but boys were also in danger, especially handsome boys.
Looking at news from the Empire and other countries, there are countless stories of handsome young men being deceived or bullied.
He dressed up as a girl to protect himself. If he got angry with him again, it would hurt the heart that had been drawn to him for the past eight years.
Moreover, the fish sister he mentioned had already perished in the exploding spaceship. If he continued to be angry and ignore her, he would have no relatives left.
Relos held the Red Apple Gem tightly, standing outside the treatment chamber watching him as the blue healing fluid covered his entire body, healing his wounds.
Half an hour later, Bo Jichen came out of the treatment pod, twisting his whole body and moving his arms. Like a country bumpkin who knew nothing, he cheerfully said to Lei Luosi, "Lei Luosi, Lei Luosi, the treatment pod and the treatment fluid are amazing! All the bruises on my body are gone, the scars are gone, and my hands don't feel rough at all anymore."
"Oh my god, let me tell you, my injuries would have taken at least 20 days to heal, but they were healed in just half an hour. It's true what they say, the lives of the rich are so simple and unpretentious."
Looking at his smiling, curious expression, Leilos slowly said, "The First Military Academy's treatment chamber and treatment fluid are the most advanced and best in the entire empire."
"I've put money on your card. If you ever get injured or upset in the future, come here for treatment of this standard, understand?"
Bo Jichen deliberately exclaimed, "You topped up my account, it must have been very expensive, right? No, no, I can't spend your money for nothing. I have money, however much it is, I'll pay you back."
Leilos grabbed his hand as he reached for the quantum computer to transfer money: "It's not much money. Study hard, strive to be number one, and serve your country. That will be the same as paying me back."
Bo Jichen knew how to manipulate Lei Luosi, making him soften his heart and feel guilty: "I know without you saying it. Study hard, strive to be number one, join the army in the future, serve the country, guard the star field, protect the people, become a hero and a general, so that the brother I'm looking for can see me and be proud of me."
Upon hearing this, Leilos felt even more regretful, wishing he could turn back time eight years and send people to search for him, even if it meant turning over every inch of the ruins, to find him.
Bo Jichen is like a hunter, digging a pit, waiting for his prey to jump in, and then using all his strength to bury himself in it.
He was now hunting with great confidence, completely unaware that in the future, the roles of hunter and prey would be drastically reversed, with the hunter becoming as lowly as a dog.
As the two left the treatment department, Leilos, holding the red apple star diamond pendant, was pondering how to tell him that he was his brother, the brother he had been looking for, when Bo Jichen appeared curious about the First Military Academy and wanted to visit it.
However, his personal computer was not working properly and the navigation could not be turned on, so Leilos naturally accompanied him and walked with him through the first few departments of the First Military Academy.
The First Military Academy covers too many departments and has a very large campus, so there are electric scooters and bicycles on campus that can be ridden or used by scanning a code.
Leilus and his companion rode together on a bicycle, passing through one campus after another, seeing one building after another, and encountering countless senior students. Each senior student was dashing, upright, serious, and exuded a powerful aura and righteous spirit.
They wandered around until dark, when all the lights on campus were on, before Lei Luo and Bo Jichen returned to their dormitory, covered in sweat and smelling strongly of sweat.
After returning to the dormitory, the two took showers one after the other, went back to their rooms, and read books. After Lei Luos fell asleep, he suddenly remembered that he had been acting as Xiao Guai's guide and introducing him to the First Military Academy on the way out of the treatment department, and he had forgotten to return his little apple star diamond pendant to him and had forgotten to tell him that he was the brother he was looking for.
Just as he was about to get up and deal with the two matters, the tightly closed door was suddenly opened. Before he could even open his mouth to call out, Bo Jichen pressed him down.
Since separating from Xiao Guai at the age of 10, Lei Luosi has never shared a bed with anyone else. He was so close to others, and now he was suddenly pinned down by someone, so he instinctively struggled.
Unexpectedly, the thin, dusty hand that was pressing down on him went through his neck, hugged him, buried its head in his neck, and said in a low, muffled voice, sounding aggrieved: "Brother, I'm your little darling, Chenchen, you don't know me, you don't recognize me..."
Leilos stopped struggling and stopped moving. He slowly reached out and patted Bo Jichen's back, feeling guilty and remorseful: "I'm sorry, little darling. I recognized you. It was my fault for not recognizing you in time. It was all my fault."
Because there was only a blanket between them, but Bo Jichen was holding his neck, it was the most intimate contact on his body, and the scales on his body sprouted out like crazy.
Fortunately, its exposed skin was free of scales, and its wildly beating heart, filled with the excitement of a long-awaited reunion, went unnoticed.
Bo Jichen slightly raised his bare arm and wiped his eyes. Instantly, his eyes stung, and tears streamed down his face, wetting Lei Luosi's shoulder.
He opened his mouth, his voice choked with sobs, and cried out in anguish, "Brother, I studied so hard, trained so hard, and tried so hard to get into the top military academy for you, just so I could be your classmate and be closer to you."
“I’ve always known that you are the Crown Prince, the heir to the empire, and I am just an orphan. I have suffered so much in order to keep up with you. I have given you so many hints during the day, but you never respond to me at all.”
"I know, I know, you must be mad at me, you must think I'm not a good child for lying to you and saying I'm your little sister, but it's not my fault! When I was locked up, people said little boys were fun, I can't be a little boy, sob sob sob..."
"Brother, I didn't mean to lie to you, I didn't mean to lie to you, really, really, brother, brother, please forgive me, please don't abandon me, brother... Waaah..."
Leilos's neck and shoulders felt as if they were scalded by his tears, and his entire heart was filled with a dense, tingling pain of guilt, self-blame, and heartache.
He is the crown prince, the heir to the empire. He has been standing at a high position since birth. He is an orphan. If he wants to meet him and stand with him, he must go through what ordinary people cannot do and suffer what ordinary people cannot endure.
He lost him 8 years ago, and when he saw him again 8 years later, he introduced himself and stared at him intently. He reached out his hand, hoping that he would take his hand, hug him, call him "little darling," and tell him that he was his older brother.
He was stunned, hesitant, he couldn't believe it, he was still wondering whether he was a man or a woman, and he was still thinking about why he lied to him and said that he was his sister.
Compared to his arduous journey to reach him, he seemed like a villain, giving him hope only to shatter it.
Leilos patted his back, blaming himself, apologizing, and coaxing him: "Don't cry, don't cry, brother doesn't blame you, brother doesn't abandon you. Even if you hadn't come to brother today, brother would have come to find you."
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault. It's all because of me that you've suffered so much. I'm so sorry, you have to forgive me..."
Bo Jichen couldn't wait any longer. Understanding and considerate, he opened his mouth, his voice choked with sobs, "I forgive my brother, I forgive my brother, I forgive whatever my brother does, I will never blame my brother."
Leilos could feel his trembling and fear, all of which stemmed from him.
Because he lost him once 8 years ago, he is now just like a lost puppy who has found his owner again. Afraid that his owner will lose him again, he hugs his owner tightly and eagerly absorbs his owner's warmth.
His tears had soaked his neck and his pillow. Leilos didn't know how to comfort him or coax him. "Then... then don't cry... little darling, don't cry, okay..."
Bo Jichen: "!!!!"
None of his family members understand, and he doesn't want to cry.
The key thing is the insanely spicy chili pepper he rubbed on his arm before he came—the one from the school beauty of the Fifth Military Academy in the Fifth Galaxy, a pointed, mutated chili pepper.
Afraid that I wouldn't be able to cry, afraid that I would burst out laughing, I wiped some on my arm. Goodness, now not only is my arm burning, but my eyes are burning even more, and the tears are flowing like a dam bursting, unstoppable. Who would believe it?
It's one thing to be unable to stop the tears, but it's quite another to say it out loud.
Bo Jichen pressed down on Lei Luosi, his face pressed tightly against the crook of his neck, tears streaming down his face from the stinging spittle: "I don't want to cry, I don't want to cry at all, but I'm so happy, so happy! I found my brother, I'm never alone again..."
It was like a giant whining monster, pitifully crying and hiccuping.
Leilos's heart was filled with heartache: "You'll have your brother from now on, you won't be alone. Your brother will always be here, always here."
"It's all my fault, please don't cry. Get up, I'll get you a towel to wipe your face, okay?"
Bo Jichen didn't want to get up, but his eyes were burning so badly he couldn't stand it. Tears were streaming down his face like they were free.
To save its eyes, it reluctantly, unwillingly, and against all reason, got up and sat on the bed, lamenting in its heart, "What a blunder, what a blunder, what a terrible blunder."
Relos was freed. He propped himself up on his elbows, sat up, turned on the light, and saw the person sitting at the head of his bed. The person's eyes and nose were red from crying, and tears were still streaming down his face. He looked as pitiful and wronged as could be.
Leilos felt heartbroken and remorseful, thinking he was utterly wicked and had committed heinous crimes. He quickly got out of bed, rushed into the bathroom, grabbed his towel, wrung it out, and came out saying, "Little darling, wipe your tears."
Bo Jichen cursed the ancestors of this mutated, broken creature for eighteen generations. It only used a tiny bit of it. These tears and this discomfort were more painful than being exposed to the scorching sun in the desert for five days.
It reached out and took the towel, covering its eyes to slightly reduce the burning sensation, but it couldn't truly alleviate it. It hiccuped, sniffled, and choked out with a heavy sob and nasal tone, "Thank you, brother..."
Leilos stood by the window, reached out and ruffled his hair, his voice softening just like eight years ago: "You're welcome, it's what I should do."
Bo Jichen vigorously rubbed his eyes with a towel, wiping away the slight sting. He then removed the towel, raised his head, looked at Lei Luosi, and cautiously asked, "Brother, can I sleep with you tonight?"
Leilos was taken aback. The bed was 2 meters long and 1.5 meters wide, which could fit two people, but it was a bit cramped. The main problem was that he had always slept alone since birth and had never slept with two people before.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Bo Jichen held a towel in one hand and reached out to pull his hand with the other, looking pitiful, shameless, talking nonsense, and acting coquettishly: "Brother, you told me to wait for you, and I waited, but you didn't come back. As soon as I opened my eyes, I couldn't find you."
"I've finally found you, and I don't want to be separated from you. I want to sleep with you like when we were little. I'll be a good boy, I won't snore or kick off the covers, brother..."
"Okay, you can sleep with me." Lei Luosi's hesitation and doubt crumbled under Bo Jichen's pitiful, expectant, and fearful gaze. Let alone sleeping with him, he would send someone to pluck the stars from the sky and bring them to him!
