"Wife, wife, are you alright?"
Seeing that Zhou Siyu hadn't come out for a while, Yu Wei knocked on the bathroom door worriedly, wondering why she was hiding when she was just trying to contact her family.
"Shout! Shout! Are you trying to summon my soul?!" Zhou Siyu opened the door, looking at Yu Wei with annoyance. "It's only been a few minutes and you're already yelling like this. Can't you be a little more mature?"
"Waaah... but I missed you." Yu Wei pouted, fiddling with her fingers. "I haven't seen you for almost half a month, and you haven't even come to see me..."
"I'm busy, how can I have time to see you?" Zhou Siyu tiptoed and kissed Yu Wei's cheek. "I can't go back with peace of mind until I've taken care of things here."
"You're going back! Going back where?" Yu Wei looked at Zhou Siyu nervously. "You're not planning to abandon me, are you?"
"Hmm, I don't want you anymore." Seeing the panic in Yu Wei's eyes, Zhou Siyu smiled and pinched the tip of Yu Wei's nose. "I'm planning to take you back with me. Will you come with me?"
“I’ll go!” Yu Wei nodded heavily, put his arm around Zhou Siyu’s waist, and buried his head in his shoulder and neck. “Wherever you go, I’ll go.”
"How come you're so well-behaved?"
Zhou Siyu couldn't help but ruffle Yu Wei's hair. How could he be so well-behaved! It's too much!
Yu Wei smiled. During the time he spent with Zhou Siyu, he recalled many things, and the puzzle of memories in his mind was slowly being pieced together.
“You can’t let things be like this when you go back.” Zhou Siyu sighed. “Remember, you are General Yu Wei of the Alliance, who chose to go into hiding three years ago while on a secret mission…”
"I don't want to be a general." Yu Wei looked up into Zhou Siyu's eyes and slowly said, "I just want to be your hero."
“I know.” Zhou Siyu’s lips curled up and her eyes curved. “But Yu Wei, your status and background do not allow you to do this.”
"To be honest, I don't want you to go back and face all the hustle and bustle and backstabbing. Let's do business on Planet Twenty-Eight, build a small house, grow flowers and vegetables, and walk hand in hand through life. That would be really nice."
“But I can’t selfishly keep you by my side. You have your own responsibilities, your own battlefield, your father and dad are waiting for you to return, your subordinates are waiting for their leader, and the citizens of the alliance need their guardian angel.”
Zhou Siyu could hardly contain her emotions; her eyes reddened slightly, and she bit her lower lip.
Cheetahs should roam the open fields, not be collared and kept in captivity. Yuwei has a vast sky to shine on the battlefield; that is the unrestrained life they deserve.
“I understand.” Yu Wei nodded and hugged Zhou Siyu. “I will take responsibility and protect everything I should protect. What he can do, I will do better than him.”
The rebels have been eyeing the Alliance's rule with predatory intent, ready to overthrow it at any moment. If they succeed, the Alliance's citizens will be plunged into a great catastrophe, losing their human rights and becoming slaves to be slaughtered at will, losing their freedom and becoming experimental subjects, forever living under the oppression and exploitation of the royal family and nobles.
There are never true victors in war; no matter which side gains power, it is always the ordinary people who suffer.
He didn't know how long he could stand, but as long as he stood, he would protect all that was beautiful.
“Yu Wei,” Zhou Siyu said in a muffled voice, “I’m really scared, scared that you’ll leave like last time and never come back.”
"It won't happen again." Yu Wei lowered his head and kissed the top of Zhou Siyu's head. "Last time was an accident."
Things are different now. His glands are mature and completely controllable. The Kao virus, which caused widespread panic, is now completely ineffective against him. In addition, his second differentiation has given him complete control over the abilities of the Ghost Hand Vine and the Linked Wood Grass. He is now an invincible being.
"Don't accompany me around for the next few days. I'll prepare some materials for you. You need to memorize everyone's name and face in the shortest amount of time."
"But I can't concentrate without you." Yu Wei pinched Zhou Siyu's cheek, trying to negotiate, "How about I go with you to discuss the cooperation during the day, and you keep me company while I reminisce at night?"
How do you want to recall it?
Zhou Siyu tilted his head and glanced sideways at Yu Wei, feeling that this guy's words were veiled and that he was glib and untrustworthy.
"Hmm... The doctor said that doing familiar things with familiar people can help with memory recovery..."
"Which doctor said that?" Zhou Siyu touched Yu Wei's forehead and frowned slightly. "Don't go to quack doctors."
"Wife~" Seeing that Zhou Siyu was unmoved, Yu Wei began to whine, "That scumbag's child is already six years old, when are we going to..."
"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Zhou Siyu felt a sharp pain in her head. "Don't compare yourself to others, understand?"
"What do you mean?" Yu Wei tilted her head, taking Zhou Siyu's hand. "I'm not trying to compete. I'm just worried you'll be bored when I'm not home, so I wanted to have a child to keep you company."
Children are meaningless if they are not meant to be played with or used to relieve boredom.
"Heh, don't think I can't tell." Zhou Siyu pushed Yu Wei's face away, glaring at him. "You just have too much adrenaline and nowhere to release it..."
"Baby~" Yu Wei pressed closer, shamelessly saying, "I'm in my most vulnerable period..."
"You're so susceptible, my foot!" Zhou Siyu snorted, poking Yu Wei's shoulder. "Don't think I don't know that once your glands are fully developed, there's no such thing as a susceptible period."
"I'm an exception..."
"Really?" Zhou Siyu raised an eyebrow, stroking his chin in a rather lewd manner. "An exception? That's very rare..."
"Yes...yes..."
