Bo Jichen was overjoyed, his heart pounding like a rooster's crow and a dog's leap. He kept a straight face, lowered his eyes, and squatted down to be at eye level with Agares. With an expression that said, "It doesn't matter if I suffer a little loss," he said to the innocent little Agares, "If it can help our little Agares grow into a real man, independent and capable, then it's okay if your brother Chenchen squeezes into one bed with your brother. It's alright if you feel a little wronged."
Wow, kids are so easy to fool and trick.
Look at his embarrassed face, he's the kind of guy who would sell himself to someone and then help them count the money while he himself is trying to get others to move out.
Oh dear, tonight it can finally sleep in the same bed with Leilos openly and legitimately, without having to worry about Leilos chasing it away anymore.
Hahaha, little Agares wants to steal its man, or even sleep with it? No way! Forget about it, not even through windows or dog holes.
Agares was not yet four years old and did not quite understand the complexities of adults, much less the wicked schemes and cunning of Bo Jichen.
He felt that Chenchen couldn't sleep alone and had to share a small bed with his brother so that he could become a real man.
He opened his mouth in a soft, childlike voice and patted his chest, promising, "Brother Chenchen, don't worry, I will definitely be fine and work hard to become a real man as soon as possible so that you can have your own bed to sleep in."
Bo Jichen: "..."
There's no need for that; it won't need its own bed from now on.
It only likes to curl up with Leilos while sleeping, having sweet dreams, and doing some indescribable things below the neck that make it blush.
Thinking is one thing, doing is another, but coaxing is another. Bo Jichen reached out and touched Agares' chubby little face, praising, "Okay, okay, baby is so good. Baby, wait a moment, teacher will make the bed right away."
Agares blinked his dark eyes: "Teacher, I can make my own bed..."
Bo Jichen still had a tiny bit of conscience: "I'll make your bed today, and you can make your own bed tomorrow. You can watch how I make your bed first, okay?"
Agares, the simple-minded young man, nodded heavily, hugging his little pillow. To see better, he even adorably stood on tiptoe.
To ensure Agares could sleep well at night and wouldn't come to Lelos, Bo Jichen shook out his own blanket and took out another one, making a small screen to block the edge of the bed. This way, even if Agares rolled around in bed, no one would be watching and she wouldn't fall off.
After making the bed, he took Agares to pee. He placed a small stool next to the bed, and Agares climbed onto the bed on the stool, covered himself with the blanket, and peeked out to say to Bo Jichen, who was standing by the bed, "Goodnight, teacher."
Bo Jichen bent down to tuck the blanket around him and touched his smooth forehead: "Goodnight, baby. Your brother loves you, and I love you too."
Agares burst into silent laughter, her voice as innocent as a puppy's, "I love you too, teacher. Please tell my brother for me that I love him too, that I love him the most."
Bo Jichen nodded heavily: "Okay, good night!"
Agares said obediently, "Goodnight!"
Bo Jichen turned off the lights, placed a tiny lamp in the room, slowly backed away, left the room, and closed the door.
It went on a wild, self-indulgent dance in front of the tightly closed door for ten seconds, then instantly became serious, unbuttoned two buttons of its pajamas, turned around, and went to the opposite room...
Unexpectedly, he met Leilos's dark and calm eyes.
Bo Jichen's pupils constricted, and he screamed inwardly, "No way, no way, Leilos saw the chaotic dance of demons that it just had for 10 seconds?"
Good heavens, good heavens, good heavens, isn't its chaotic dancing quite beautiful? Will he think it's crazy? Will he overthink that Agareth suddenly sleeping alone is because of him?
Bo Jichen's thoughts were in turmoil, and his words were self-deceptive, as if nothing was wrong, he said nonsense: "Relos, don't worry, Agares said he would sleep alone, and he won't even sleep with me."
"I'm not exaggerating, but he truly is the little darling you raised. He's so brave and adorable. He even asked me to tell you that he will try his best to become a real man to protect you. He also told me to tell you that he loves you, loves you the most!"
The lights in Relos's room were off. He stood in the doorway, half his body hidden in darkness and half in light, his dark eyes staring at Bo Jichen. His voice was gentle and flat: "What else did my Agares say?"
Bo Jichen took three steps at a time, and in one swift stride, he arrived in front of Leilos, his pair of purple eyes shining brightly as he looked at him: "Your Agares also said that he took up my bed, leaving me nowhere to sleep, and that you should take me in and share a bed with me."
Leilos gave an "oh," his tone meaningful: "I see..."
Bo Jichen's heart skipped a beat. It had made itself so clear. Shouldn't Leilos have made way for it, let it into the house, and invited it to sleep with him?
Bo Jichen nodded heavily: "Yes, that's right. It's getting late, let's go to sleep..."
Leilos reached out to stop it: "Wait, classmate Bo Jichen!"
Bo Jichen looked at his hand: "Husband, what do you mean by this?"
Relos grunted and asked casually, "What did you call me?"
Bo Jichen might have longed for his bed too much, longed to sleep with him too much, or perhaps his heart was pounding uncontrollably and pounding at the sight of his nonchalant gaze.
Of course, it's also possible that the other person is someone he has raised his own scales to, and he tells himself from the bottom of his heart and from the bottom of his bones that he should pamper him, love him, and not make him angry. So Bo Jichen immediately backed down: "If you don't like me calling you husband, I'll call you kiss."
Relos's body slightly disappeared into the darkness, his reddened ears also vanishing into the shadows. He moved his hand away from Bo Jichen and pointed to the sofa in the small hall: "Thank you, Bo Jichen, for teaching my little darling Agares to be independent and become a man. My bed is too small, so I won't invite you. Those two sofas can be put together, that should be enough for you."
"Oh, by the way, don't sleep too soundly when you sleep. Agares might wake up looking for me tonight, so please keep an eye out for him. That's all, goodnight!"
Bo Jichen: "!!!!!!!"
What the heck?
Why aren't you playing by the rules?
Shouldn't he invite it into the house now, invite it onto the bed, cover it with a blanket, give it a goodnight kiss, hold its hands, and go to sleep?
What does this mean? What does it mean?
The soft sound of the door closing startled Bo Jichen, who took a step forward, reached out and pressed the doorknob, only to find that the door was locked from the inside.
Bo Jichen: "..."
It's locked from the inside, locked from the inside, the door is locked from the inside.
In other words, after much effort, it successfully tricked Agares into not only losing his bed but also sleeping alone on the sofa, unable to even stretch his legs out.
Heavens and earth, what grudges and hatreds, what bullshit plot settings, why don't things go as planned?
Bo Jichen, a tall man over 1.8 meters, lay on two sofas in the darkness, looking aggrieved, miserable, and sleepless, tossing and turning all night.
In order not to sit and wait for its death, it stealthily jumped out of the window, thinking of jumping into Relos's window, acting like a rogue, and sneaking into his bed.
Unexpectedly, what it thought of, Leilos also thought of. Leilos locked the window from the inside. Well, so it was to keep him out.
Bo Jichen, the fierce dragon, almost burst into tears. He returned to the hall, dispelled his invisibility, and curled up on the sofa, looking weak and pitiful. He seemed to be sulking with himself, not even covering himself with a blanket.
Leilos got up twice in the middle of the night to check if Agares had kicked off the covers and if he was sleeping well, and also covered Bo Jichen with a blanket.
He noticed that Agares hadn't kicked off the covers and was sleeping soundly, like a little pig, but a certain non-human dragon was anything but still sleeping on the small sofa.
On the first trip, Relos covered him with a blanket; on the second trip, Relos picked up the blanket for him; on the third trip, after checking on Agares, he saw that his blanket had fallen to the ground again, so he picked it up for him once more.
Before the blanket was even on it, seeing the old dragon sound asleep, who deliberately threw away the blanket every time Relos woke up, it couldn't bear it anymore. It reached out and pulled, dragging the blanket and Relos off, then wrapped its arms tightly around him and shamelessly asked, "Darling, are you worried about Agares or me?"
Leilos pressed down on it, letting the moonlight filter into the hall, and looked at Bo Jichen, whose purple eyes gleamed with cunning: "Bo Jichen, you're an adult now, you're not human yet, you don't need me to worry about you at all."
Bo Jichen had finally managed to hold his soon-to-be partner firmly in his arms, and there was no way he could let go. The partner would hug him tightly, cling to him, and act weak and pitiful: "Darling, brother, husband, who isn't a baby?"
Relos: "!!!!"
Who isn't a baby at heart?
Is a giant blue dragon, tens of meters long and weighing tens or even hundreds of tons, still a baby?
This is truly an incredibly huge baby!
Lei Luos placed his hand on Bo Jichen's chest: "Bo Jichen, it's 3:30 now, and we have to get up in an hour and a half. Can I sleep for a while?"
Bo Jichen was quick and decisive. He lifted the blanket, wrapped it around himself, and pressed Leilos's head against his chest. His warm lips kissed Leilos's forehead: "Goodnight!"
Relos: "..."
Why does he have a 1.5-meter or 2-meter bed but choose to squeeze onto a sofa with other people here, a sofa with a dragon-like body?
Actually, his bed is still the most comfortable.
He was about to call Bo Jichen when he saw him fall asleep instantly, his even breathing accompanied by soft snoring sounds reaching his ears.
In this situation, he swallowed his words and tried to carefully remove himself from the body, only to find that the hand pressing on his back was like a huge mountain, making him unable to move.
Leilos felt helpless yet indulgent. He stopped moving, lay down on Bo Jichen's chest to listen to his heartbeat, touched the scales on his neck, and fell asleep.
Bo Jichen curled his lips, closed his eyes, and thought smugly, "The strong are never afraid of their environment. Just look at this. I can't sleep in the same bed as my sweetheart, but I can let my sweetheart sleep snuggled up with it on the sofa."
It was indeed an exceptionally intelligent dragon, unmatched by any other dragon.
There was only an hour and a half left until 5 o'clock. I fell asleep, and the hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Leilos woke up on time and met Bo Jichen's purple eyes.
Before I could even say good morning to it, Bo Jichen gave me a quick kiss on the lips.
Relos instinctively looked at the door to Bo Jichen's room, worried that Agares might suddenly open the door and see him, which would be bad.
Bo Jichen acted as if nothing had happened. After the kiss, he got up, took him to the bathroom, brushed his teeth, washed his face, trapped him, and begged for kisses, hugs, and affectionate touches.
Seeing its shameless behavior, Relos opened his mouth and said, "Agares, wake up..."
Bo Jichen was startled and looked toward the door.
Leilos took the opportunity to break free and leave the bathroom.
Bo Jichen: "..."
He was so angry that the kisses, hugs, and stickers he had just received were gone that he ran 10 kilometers in a fit of rage that morning.
After the rage run, I went back to my dorm and muttered to myself about it with Agareth.
It listened to Agares's nagging, but the variable was with Relos.
Since Agares slept soundly until dawn, without waking up at night, urinating, or having nightmares, and was very well-behaved, Relos stopped getting up to check on him at night.
Leilos didn't get up to see him, and went to sleep with the door locked. Bo Jichen's shameless plan to trick the child into climbing into his bed ended in failure.
Because his plan to climb into someone's bed failed, Bo Jichen was incredibly patient, kind, and friendly towards Agares Relos, but towards everyone else, he treated everyone equally with harsh criticism and beatings.
In just one month before graduation from military academy, Bo Jichen had already sorted out all the students from each department, from the first year to the fourth year.
In particular, he meticulously tidied up all the combat-themed mecha dramas for first and second year students, focusing on fighting and disguise, to vent his resentment at not being able to get into bed.
First and second graders were crying and wailing on the school forum: "Isn't anyone going to do anything about that dog Bo Jichen? In the fighting room, he punched me and slammed me against the wall."
"Mom and Dad, my head was buzzing and everything went black. I was so scared that I wouldn't see the sun tomorrow that I almost peed my pants."
"That's nothing. It just punched you into the wall. That dog knocked me into the treatment pod and I lay there for a week."
"That's it, that's it. My teacher was clapping and yelling on the side, saying that Bo smashed it well, that he smashed it wonderfully, and that these new kids should smash it like this."
"They also say that jade cannot become a useful object without being carved, and a sapling cannot grow straight without being pruned. You cannot become a strong person without being punched by a strong person."
"What can I do? What can I do? After lying in the treatment pod for a week, I'll get up and party, and then get beaten up again."
"You guys just got beaten up, we were outsmarted. In the simulated battle, this guy, with 1,000 men, swept through our simulated 50,000, killed our leader, and wiped out all my base points. I hate it, I'll never forgive it."
“Upstairs, upstairs, none of this is a big deal for you. You’ve only suffered physical and mental torment. But it’s different for me. I’ve suffered psychological torment.”
"Me, me, me, the top student in the second-year Disguise Department, who swept through the entire second year and was invincible, guess what happened? I was defeated by this bastard."
"It disguised itself as an unparalleled beauty, with a great figure, a pair of affectionate eyes, wearing a white dress and standing there like a queen, like a goddess, like the white moonlight I can never have."
"I'm a 1.85-meter-tall guy, and I was completely stunned. Then...then...he took off his hair, and he's taller than me. I bet his...things are bigger than mine too."
"My precious heart, my white moonlight, it's all gone, all gone! Now the whole department is laughing at me, saying I can't even walk past a dog. My pride, my dignity, my very essence are all gone!"
"Waaaaah, my life is so miserable, I don't want to live anymore. My teacher makes me look at beautiful women every day so that I can live. They are all my white moonlight type."
"Family members, who understands? I spend 20 out of 24 hours a day looking at my ideal girl, until my ideal girl has become like mosquito blood."
"Seeing my juniors so miserable and wretched, I feel relieved and at peace as their editor. Don't ask me why I feel relieved and at peace. The answer is that Bo Jichen has dominated me for four whole years!"
"I can never look it in the eye, yet I have to submit to it. This love-hate relationship is just like being a madman, and it also has a strange sense of satisfaction."
"Hahaha, what's that saying again? It's either death in silence or an explosion in silence. You guys are getting a thrill from being tortured."
"If you ask me, there are still a few days until graduation. If you want to be tortured by it, hurry up. Once it leaves the school, it will be like birds flying high and fish swimming in the vast sea. If you want to see it again, it's probably a long shot."
"No, no, I'd rather die than go. Let's just indulge in our own sentimental notions: 'a beating is a sign of affection, scolding is a sign of love.' Let's keep this complicated feeling towards it."
With only a few days left until graduation, fourth-graders, whether in school or not, are all preparing for this important moment in their lives.
Only Leilos Bo Jichen wasn't busy with graduation matters.
One reason was that his father, the Emperor of the Empire, suffered a sudden mental breakdown and genetic mutation during his treatment, and his days were numbered. Relos brought Agares back to the palace.
One reason was that he was worried about Leilos. He hadn't received an invitation from the palace and could only wait. He would send messages every day, but it would take several hours to receive a reply.
The news of His Majesty the Emperor's poor health swept across the entire Troia Empire. Countless citizens expressed their different opinions online: "His Majesty the Emperor is ill and his days are numbered. Crown Prince Relos is only 22 years old this year, just a few years into his adulthood. Is he really capable of shouldering the great responsibility, inheriting the throne, and leading us to glory?"
"Such a young crown prince would be easily manipulated by the elders and nobles of the council, so why not abolish the monarchy and establish a republic?"
"Exactly, exactly! Abolishing the royal family and making them just figureheads with no real power would be much better, wouldn't it? 'Your Majesty, Your Majesty'? We've been in interstellar space for thousands of years, can't we adopt some modern practices?"
"His Highness the Crown Prince began handling state affairs at the age of 10 and has continued to do so until his graduation this year. All the state affairs he has handled have been successfully completed and achieved remarkable results. His abilities are evident to all. Why can't we have some confidence in him?"
"Abolish the monarchy and establish a republic? Who do you think this would serve? The Council of Elders, the Council of Representatives, the great nobles, wake up! The royal family has been working hard to abolish the nobility, but the Council of Elders and the Council of Representatives disagree."
"Without the royal family, ordinary people with superpowers would just be organ donors for nobles and the wealthy. They would have no chance of getting ahead."
"The Crown Prince cracked down on organ trafficking, shut down the black market for organs, and severely punished those involved in organ trafficking. Have you all forgotten the pain once the wound has healed?"
"Whether the Crown Prince is suitable to inherit the throne or not has nothing to do with you. Your family has no inheritance of the country or the throne. You are just jealous of others because they are good-looking, intelligent, and have legs below the neck."
Bo Jichen single-handedly wreaked havoc online, directly attacking the ancestors of those who said Lei Luos was unworthy to be emperor, that the monarchy should be abolished, and that the king should be treated as a mascot.
It's reluctant to speak ill of those it cherishes and protects, and anyone who dares to criticize them is practically challenging its bottom line and risking its life.
Negative comments were increasing online, as if he were being manipulated. Bo Jichen rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight back against the manipulation of public opinion, when his personal computer beeped.
Bo Jichen opened the message and saw that it was from Lei Luosi. After reading it, it was still wearing its school uniform. Without even changing its clothes or taking the elevator, it jumped out of the window on the 9th floor, ran away from the school, and got into a royal flying vehicle at the school gate.
After a three-hour flight, it arrived at Relos's home, the centuries-old royal palace that served as the center of power in the Troia Empire.
It thought it would see Leilos when it arrived at the palace, but instead it saw the beautiful, gentle, virtuous, dignified and elegant queen.
The empress wore small wedge heels, a floral dress, and her long, slightly curled hair cascaded down her back. Her gentle eyes were red with worry and weariness.
Leilos and the Queen share a 60% resemblance; both have gentle features and clean, handsome appearances that are completely harmless.
As it sized up the queen, the queen was also sizing it up; the two of them were sizing each other up.
After a moment, the Queen's lips curled up slightly: "You must be Bo Jichen, the classmate who shares a dorm with Lei Luosi and guarantees he gets first place in every department."
In front of his prospective partner's mother, Bo Jichen was very proper and bowed to her, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty, I am Bo Jichen. It is a pleasure to meet you and get to know you."
The Queen nodded and praised, "I've heard Leilos mention you before. You're a very handsome child, and I quite like you."
Bo Jichen's purple eyes involuntarily brightened a bit. Leilos had mentioned them to the Queen, which meant that now it was time to meet the parents.
I should have dressed up a bit more, looked better, and put on some nice clothes. I shouldn't have let him come in his school uniform. What a blunder!
Bo Jichen smiled back at the Empress: "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is just as Lei Luosi described, beautiful, generous, and gentle. You are the best mother in the world."
The Empress pointed ahead and said, "Such a sweet tongue, how about a walk with me?"
Bo Jichen lowered his head slightly: "It is my honor."
The Empress took the lead and walked away, while Bo Jichen followed half a step behind her.
The Queen talked to it about Relos and Agares, asked about some ordinary things at school, about its relationships with classmates, and about the things Bo Jichen had done, the hidden military achievements he had made, and its future career plans.
Bo Jichen answered each question respectfully and properly.
After hearing this, the Empress stopped and nodded, asking, "Bo, if your pursuit and your convictions are not fulfilled, what will you do?"
Although Bo Jichen didn't know whether this was a test or something else, it firmly replied: "There is nothing I cannot achieve in my pursuit and conviction."
"If I can't achieve my goal in one day, I'll chase it for two days; if I can't achieve it in two days, I'll chase it for three days; if I can't achieve it in ten years, I'll chase it for eleven years until I achieve my goal."
"In my understanding of life, there is no compromise, no giving up, and no abandonment of what I want or believe in."
Hearing its resounding answer, the Queen looked at it with even more tenderness, much like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law with increasing satisfaction: "It's rare for a child your age to be able to set clear goals, but you are exceptionally sensible."
Bo Jichen corrected the Empress: "No, some children my age have been handling national affairs for over 10 years. Compared to them, my maturity is nothing."
No mother dislikes others praising her son, whether it's a young person or an old person; a mother is always happy to hear it.
The Empress removed the ring from her ring finger. It was a beautiful, simple ring with a distinctly historical feel. She handed the ring to Bo Jichen and said, "Bo, this is for you."
The Empress gave it a ring, which completely baffled Bo Jichen. It obediently extended both hands to accept it, asking with a hint of confusion, "Your Majesty, what is this...?"
The Queen looked at it gently and said, "This ring was given to me by Relos's grandmother. His Majesty has another one that he has already given to Relos. This one is yours."
Bo Jichen's gaze, which had been fixed on the ring, suddenly shifted to the Empress, his purple eyes flashing.
This ring is his/hers!!!
Relos told the Queen that it wanted to be her companion.
The Queen giving it this ring signifies her approval and consent.
Did it pass the first meeting with the parents smoothly?
Looking at its stunned and incredulous expression, the Queen's expression softened even more: "Your Majesty is 20 years older than me, and we are in love with each other. I hope you are as you say, and I hope even more that my son, Relos, has made the right choice."
“Bo, as a mother, I hope my son will be happy, I hope my son will be joyful, and I hope that every step he takes and every question he chooses will be smooth and correct.”
"I don't want my son to lose. Can you promise me that you won't let my son lose? Can you let my son be happy, joyful, and able to win even amidst his busy schedule and heavy burdens?"
Bo Jichen slowly clenched his fingers, holding the ring in his palm. He looked at the Empress with unwavering eyes, his words pouring out like a vow: "Your Majesty, rest assured, he will be happy, he will be joyful. As long as I live, he will not lose."
"He will have what others have, and he will also have what others don't have. I will do everything in my power to achieve what he wants. I will make him stand at an unprecedented height to save all living beings and look down upon them."
The Queen looked at it, and even though it was only in its early twenties, its words were inexplicably believable, as if it would not let go of its hand no matter whether Leilos let go or not.
Leilos had someone to rely on, someone to assist him, and someone to accompany him. She was happy for him, proud of him, and blessed for him.
The Queen's gentle eyes revealed deep sorrow and grief. Relos had someone to accompany him, but Agares was not even four years old. If she left with His Majesty, what would become of him?
"Her Royal Highness the Queen..."
"Mother..."
Leilos's voice rang out, drowning out Bo Jichen's.
Bo Jichen heard his voice and looked in the direction of the voice. He saw him rushing over with a worried expression. Before he even arrived, his voice came: "Mother, Father is looking for you."
Upon hearing that His Majesty was looking for her, the Empress quickly said to Bo Jichen, "Excuse me, Bo, my husband is looking for me. I have to go see him. Please excuse me."
"It's alright, please take your time!"
Bo Jichen responded and watched the Empress leave in haste.
Leilos followed the Queen, but after walking a few steps he realized that Bo Jichen hadn't followed. He turned around and called out, "Bo Jichen, hurry up and catch up!"
Bo Jichen clearly hadn't expected Leilos to send it to see His Majesty.
When Leilos called it, it paused for a moment, then followed and asked softly, "Darling, are you alright?"
Leilos glanced at the Queen who had already left, and answered as he walked, "Bo Jichen, my father was afraid he wouldn't make it through today, so my mother called you here. She sent you a message using my personal terminal and sent someone to pick you up."
Bo Jichen exclaimed "Ah!" and followed him, standing beside him. Confused, he asked, "What do you mean?"
Leilos's eyes reddened instantly, his steps came to an abrupt halt, and he turned to look at Bo Jichen, his eyes full of determination, his voice choked with emotion: "What do you mean? It means that my father will not survive today, and my mother will go with him."
"She used my personal terminal to send you a message and sent someone to pick you up. She heard about you from me and wanted to see you before leaving with His Majesty. She wants me to be happy, she wants me to be joyful, she wants you to stay with me, not to betray me, and to always stand by my side."
Bo Jichen was deeply shocked. For the dragon race, if one mate dies, the other will never live on alone. This is a tradition, an innate nature of every dragon.
For humans, dying for love is just an ancient legend, but now the ancient legend has suddenly appeared before them and is about to become a reality. For a moment, they did not know how to express their current feelings.
It was as if all the words of its inherited memories and the languages it had learned had become scarce at this moment.
Unable to speak, it could only step forward, open its arms, and gently embrace Leilos, assuring him and swearing an oath: "Leilos, you will be happy, you will be joyful, you will be good to me, I will not betray you, I will always stand behind you, no matter life or death!"
