Chapter 64 Leaders come and go, but the sister-in-law remains constant…
Holding a wedding would take too much time, and the couple didn't have many close friends. So, after discussing it, they decided not to have a wedding.
But Yu Nianqing stubbornly believed that even without a wedding, she should at least give out wedding candy to others and began to make preparations.
He plans to make some cookies and candies himself.
Heng Xing, who was usually stingy, was unusually generous at this moment: "It's fine to just buy something ready-made outside. They don't need to eat such good food."
Yu Nianqing was preparing raw materials on a shopping website. Hearing this, she didn't look up. "Captain Heng, we can't be so perfunctory."
Hengxing advised, "You must be too tired, having to make so many cookies."
Yu Nianqing: "I don't feel anything right now, it's okay. Now you can calculate how many cookies and candies you need to make."
She couldn't persuade him otherwise, so she took out paper and pen and started doing math.
Professor Wen gave them wedding candy when he got married, so we should give them some too. She and Mr. Liu aren't young anymore; they probably don't like sweets that much, so let's give them a small amount.
Therefore, add 2 cookies and 2 candies.
Chi Qingyi helped them a lot at the hospital, so we should give her some. She's an adult now, she should eat less and not be so childish, so give her less.
Therefore, add 1 cookie and 1 candy.
Who else? Wu Yi?
She's the boss, so it's fine if she doesn't send it.
Therefore, cookies +0, candy +0.
...
After purchasing all the materials, Yu Nianqing turned to look at the results she had calculated.
Yu Nianqing: "...Captain Heng, I'll calculate it myself. You go to the door to pick up the takeout; it should be here soon."
After Hengxing brought the ingredients into the kitchen, he officially began making the food.
Hengxing was still worried. "The doctor said you should avoid strenuous exercise."
Yu Nianqing: "This has nothing to do with strenuous exercise. Don't worry, I'll stop if I feel uncomfortable."
Even so, Hengxing was still worried and had no choice but to actively help him with the contracted work. Therefore, the production and packaging of these cookies and candies were basically all done by Hengxing.
Yu Nianqing was pressed into a chair by her, and she gave instructions verbally throughout the process.
One week later.
"Oh, is it for me? Thank you, and I wish you a long and happy life together."
The neighbor took the exquisite little gift box from Yu Nianqing's hand. As soon as she took it, Taro Bobo on her shoulder quickly used its claws to hook the ribbon and pull the gift box into its arms.
"This is mine, don't try to take it from me."
Yu Nianqing watched her leave with a dog and a bird, her eyes filled with a smile.
...
"Your Majesty, what is this gift box?" The Emperor Consort noticed a small gift box on the dressing table with a card that read "For Your Majesty" in beautiful cursive script.
The emperor put on his silk pajamas. "These are the wedding candies Hengxing gave me. Open them and take a look. I checked them beforehand; there are no safety hazards."
"Hengxing?" The Emperor Consort didn't open the gift box. "Is this the same Marshal Siyun from before?"
Knowing that the emperor had always treated Hengxing differently, he left the gift box for the emperor to open himself.
Despite holding a high position for many years, the emperor's deep emotions, hidden beneath his cold and indifferent exterior, never changed.
...
Wu Yi excitedly unwrapped the wedding candy the general had given her and boasted to her teammates, "Although the general only gave me two candies and two cookies, she definitely loves me."
After being thoroughly beaten by Heng Xing, he was completely convinced and even evolved into the general's sycophant.
His teammate's lips twitched: "...Is the general mocking your stupidity?"
Wu Yi: "What do you know? The general hopes that I can find another person in my life soon, so that we can be a couple, and two twos make four!"
Teammate: "...Oh, I see."
Wow, General, you're really good at judging people.

After sorting out the wedding favors, the second big thing was moving.
The move took place during the last two weeks of Hengxing Holiday.
After distributing the wedding candies, she and Yu Nianqing would go to the villa every day to check carefully and see if the construction team was slacking off.
This task could actually have been done by the robot, but the two of them were so bored that they decided to do it themselves.
Heng Xing usually supervises their work in the villa while wearing a mask, and Yu Nianqing sits on a wooden chair that has been installed in the courtyard and chats with the neighbors.
Every afternoon, she would leisurely walk her dog and parrot around the neighborhood.
Yu Nianqing found it amazing that someone could be more boring than him and Heng Xing.
"Dongling, what do you do for a living?"
Dongling watched the dog and bird happily chasing and playing in the courtyard. "Me? I usually just play games at home."
Upon hearing this, Yu Nianqing asked her curiously, "Can I see the game you made?"
Dongling generously gave them two access keys. After entering the game pod, they could enter the keys and play these games for free.
Yu Nianqing quickly thanked her and asked, "So what kind of game is it?"
Dongling: "They are some adventure mini-games."
After returning to the spaceship that day, Yu Nianqing dragged Heng Xing to the game pod to play games.
Following Dongling's instructions, enter the access key into the white box that pops up in front of you.
The atmosphere shifted abruptly; the soothing music suddenly stopped, adding to their unease. Silence enveloped them; the seemingly warm and peaceful blue sky and grass before them were no longer gentle, but rather filled with an eerie atmosphere.
A male NPC dressed in camouflage peeked out from the bushes nearby.
He looked at the two of them anxiously, "Hey, you two, hide! What are you standing there so brazenly? The monster is coming, I'm telling you..."
Before he could finish speaking, a black, menacing monster suddenly appeared behind him.
The monster was ugly, with its mouth wide open, revealing a deep red throat that kept contracting and expanding, and long black hairs growing from the corners of its mouth.
Saliva dribbled from its mouth, dripping down the black hair at the corner of its mouth.
The boy sensed the movement behind him, his eyes widened, and his heart seemed to stop beating.
His expression froze as he slowly turned around to look at the menacing monster behind him.
His fate is sealed; he will likely perish here today.
It's alright, he's already died many times already anyway.
Hey, Black Monster, why are you coughing upside down?!
The air suddenly felt comical.
Yu Nianqing turned to Heng Xing helplessly, "Captain Heng, why did you throw a stone down someone's throat?"
Hengxing: "I'm used to it, but look, I picked this stone perfectly, it can't even be taken out if it's upside down and coughing."
A white box popped up in front of me.
"Please do not interfere with the fixed plot at the beginning."
Heng Xing: "Sorry, shall we start over?"
Yu Nianqing sighed, "Never mind, let's go to sleep."
The following afternoon, when Hengxing met Dongling, he told her that the game was a bit too unintelligent.
Dongling sighed, "There's nothing I can do about it. My skills are limited. Who knows what the players are thinking? If there weren't the initial plot restrictions, this game could be made into all sorts of strange shapes."
"I really don't understand why everyone can be so creative. Some people pick up NPCs when they're not paying attention and throw them around like frisbees, and the black monster runs around like it's on a dog; some people use NPCs as weapons; and some people just run away without even looking..."
Seeing her exhausted appearance, Yu Nianqing nodded, "That's understandable."
The two went back that night and played the game again.
To be honest, with Hengxing around, the experience was extremely poor.
Years of combat experience made her extremely sharp and powerful. She could cut down monsters as easily as slicing vegetables, and she cleared the game in just two hours, setting a new record for clearing a two-player game.
*
Two weeks later, it was time to move.
Yu Nianqing was very satisfied with the interior decoration of the house and gave the designer a five-star rating.
The night before they moved, the two couldn't sleep and paced around the spaceship, checking to see if they had left anything behind.
Heng Xing sighed, "The last time I inspected the spaceship so thoroughly was when I first bought it."
The villa was fully furnished, so there was no need to take away anything from the kitchen, such as the oven.
Yu Nianqing thought that it might still be useful in the future if she put it in the spaceship.
The most troublesome thing was that small flower bed. They were worried that the branches and leaves would be crushed in the space button, so they specially cleared out a space button to put the flowers.
When transplanting the plants into the courtyard, Yu Nianqing refused to let Hengxing help.
Hengxing felt that he had seriously underestimated his talent in gardening, and sulked while swinging on the swing next to him.
But after swinging for only a few minutes, she worried that planting flowers would be too harmful to her health, so she quietly returned to his side and asked him if there was anything she could help him with.
Yu Nianqing found it amusing and turned his head to give her a kiss on the corner of her mouth.
The best potting soil was used in the courtyard garden, which is rich in nutrients. The strawberry seedlings and rose bushes that were originally a little wilted were able to stand tall again and sprout new buds in just a few days after being planted.
Looking at the small garden, Yu Nianqing suddenly thought, "Captain Heng, why don't you like roses? I don't think it's innate."
Hengxing looked back at the red dot amidst the greenery. "Hmm, now that I think about it, it doesn't seem like such an important issue."
“When I was little, my mother used to joke that my pheromones were like an Omega’s.”
"Does seeing roses remind you of her?" Yu Nianqing hugged her from behind.
"A little. Actually, when I was in school, some classmates said my pheromones were like an Omega's." She smiled. "Then I dragged them to the bathroom and beat them up."
As the setting sun descends the steps to the west, it also throws a long, blood-orange river down upon the world.
The world seemed to be shrouded in an orange dome, making everything appear somewhat distorted.
Heng Xing took Yu Nianqing's hand and said, "Come on, I'll take you to the swings."
The swing seat is long enough for two adults to sit side by side.
Hengxing carefully helped him sit on the swing, and the two of them swayed gently on the swing.
Yu Nianqing looked up and saw Taro Bobo standing on the opposite balcony, looking down at them, and couldn't help but laugh. But then he suddenly realized something, and his whole demeanor turned somber.
Hengxing put her arm around his waist, her hand resting on his abdomen, not daring to exert any force, just supporting him lightly.
"What's wrong, Mr. Yu?"
Yu Nianqing: "Tomorrow the baby will leave me, and then you will leave a week later."
This wasn't the first time he'd said something like that.
Hengxing learned from popular science articles on the Star Network that pregnant Omegas tend to be more melancholic and sentimental.
She gently repeated her previous answer, "Mr. Yu, you can see us every day."
Yu Nianqing knew this principle, but it didn't stop him from secretly crying under the covers at night.
Hengxing stroked his back again and again, kissed his face repeatedly, and did her best to give him a sense of security.
The hormones secreted during pregnancy turned the normally mature Omega into a childlike one, but Hengxing thought that he might just be venting emotions that he wouldn't normally dare to express.
When the doctor saw Yu Nianqing's swollen eyes, which even concealer couldn't hide, he wasn't surprised.
"This is normal; almost every Omega who comes to have their embryos removed is like this."
Heng Xing secretly observed the Omegas sitting on the chairs around him and found that it was indeed the case.
The technique is very advanced, the surgery is quick, and it was completed in half an hour.
Yu Nianqing recovered quickly after the surgery, and could go in and out standing up.
"What's your baby's name? We'd like to register it," the doctor at the registration desk asked them.
Hengxing: "Hengming'an, Ming as in 'clear' and An as in 'peace'."
Yu Nianqing's emotions were more stable tonight than last night; at least he wasn't hiding under the covers and crying secretly. He projected the hospital's video footage onto the wall, radiating a warm and comforting fatherly love.
To ensure transparency in all procedures, the hospital will send the monitoring data of their children to the parents to avoid any concerns that the hospital might switch children.
"Captain Heng, our baby is so cute!" he said to Heng Xing with delight.
Actually, a baby who is less than two months old is still a blur and can't see anything clearly.
Lying beside her, Hengxing was also overflowing with maternal love, finding her child adorable no matter how she looked at him.
Time flies, and so does parting.
No matter how unwilling Yu Nianqing was, a week passed quickly.
The emperor decided to hold the award ceremony on Monday, three days later, so Hengxing had to set off for the central star the day before, which was Sunday night.
Yu Nianqing couldn't bear to part with her, so on Saturday night he put on his newly bought black stockings and stayed in bed with her until three or four in the morning.
He had worried that Hengxing would get tired of the style and had considered trying something different.
For example, should I buy a white one?
But Hengxing was unusually devoted. The night she wore white, she pinned him down on the bed and insisted in his ear that she wanted black and wouldn't change.
Not only that, she also has a fondness for small trinkets with bells.
Yu Nianqing took it all in stride.
Never mind, her preference is the most important thing.
Time is equal for everyone; Sunday night will not arrive a few minutes later because of the world's resistance.
He wanted to take Hengxing to the port, but Hengxing refused. He even invited Dongling to his home to have tea with him before boarding his aircraft and leaving alone.
It was nearly midnight when he lay in bed, tossing and turning.
He went through the same thing a few months ago, living and sleeping alone, so why is he still feeling so miserable now?
I miss Captain Heng.
He got up and sent her a message.
"Let's give it a try. If she finds it troublesome, she can hang up," Yu Nianqing thought.
Inside the spaceship bound for the central star, Wu Yi smiled as he connected to a communication device next to the general beside him. A familiar male voice came from the other end of the terminal.
She got up and left with the terminal, watching her cheerful figure as she walked away.
He couldn't help but feel a little emotional; the leader had changed, but his sister-in-law was still the same.
How amazing.
