Like the deep blue sea wrinkled by the wind, Xino no longer had the leisurely composure he had at the beginning. Although he was barely standing, even the Third Prince beside him noticed that something was wrong with him.
Xino's eyes were unfocused, like a precision instrument that had malfunctioned. Even though the wound on his hand was horrific, he seemed not to notice it.
Only the uncontrollable trembling of Xino's body revealed his mood at the moment.
No, it's over. What did I say? Why did Xino become like this all of a sudden?
The Third Prince was extremely panicked and anxious, and even the indignation in his heart disappeared completely, for he was afraid that Xino would be overly irritated by his words.
It’s over. Should I just run away quickly?
If anything happens to Xino, his father will definitely punish him!
So while Xino was distracted and wondering what he was thinking, the third prince tiptoed carefully and began to move out without anyone noticing.
Yes, that's right, just move outwards step by step.
When the third prince finally reached the door after much effort, he saw a white shadow flash before his eyes, and Xino was blocking the door in an instant.
Third Prince: ...
Well, it’s all for nothing.
"Ahem... Well, I've almost said what I wanted to say. I think you must have some feelings so I wanted to..." The third prince cleared his throat honestly and began to make excuses for his escape.
"Well," Xino interrupted the Third Prince in a haughty tone, then bent down and half-knelt in salute to the Third Prince.
The Third Prince was dumbfounded. What he didn't expect was yet to come. He then heard Xino say to him very seriously:
"Thank you very much."
The expression on the Third Prince's face froze for a moment, as if he had been greatly frightened. When he came to his senses, he hurriedly reached out to pick up the insect in front of him.
Well... he really didn't expect it.
For female insects, no matter how high the other party's status is, they will never perform such a gift unless they truly recognize him.
Let’s put it this way, the last person who asked Xino to salute was his father.
Therefore, the Third Prince was truly terrified. Although he knew that he was of noble status, he always remembered his father's advice:
"Xino is a rising star in the interstellar world and the sharpest blade in our hands. Therefore, compared to power oppression, respecting him is the best choice."
The Third Prince's mind was in a mess, so he didn't notice that Xino, who was half-kneeling on the ground to salute, avoided his outstretched hand.
Xino quickly stood up and returned to his normal self, which allowed the Third Prince to finally breathe deeply.
But in response to Xino's thank you, the Third Prince rubbed his dazzling golden hair and said dryly, "Actually, I didn't do anything..."
"No," Xino nodded politely and looked at him: "Your words made me think a lot clearly."
"Oh... that's quite a coincidence." The third prince was not used to such a friendly Xino, but he had to take over the conversation awkwardly.
I have absolutely no idea what this couple is trying to do.
But the Third Prince was still concerned about Tang Yu, so he asked quietly, "Do you know when Tang Yu is free?"
Fearing that Xino might misunderstand him, the Third Prince hurriedly added, "Tang Yu and I haven't seen each other for so long..."
"I will go back and tell you." Xino did not give a positive answer, which made the third prince a little disappointed.
But it's better than nothing.
The third prince felt that he didn't need to stay any longer, so he was the first to say goodbye.
This time Xino finally didn't stop him, but slightly moved sideways to make way for him to leave.
The Third Prince walked cautiously for the first and second steps, fearing that the insect would call him again. After he had taken several steps, the Third Prince suddenly quickened his pace and disappeared in front of Xino.
Xino, who was left alone in the room, looked down at the wound on his hand and suddenly smiled.
So if he goes back to see Tang Yu like this, will Tang Yu feel a little sorry for him?
If that's the case...will he forgive me for what I did to him?
The long silver eyelashes trembled slightly, just like a dying butterfly gently flapping its wings in its last struggle.

At this moment, Tang Yu, who was lying on the soft big bed and turned over leisurely, suddenly opened his eyes.
It was not for any other reason, but simply because the system's series of announcements woke him up:
[Host, the whitewashing progress has reached 30%! ]
【The whitewashing progress has reached 40%! 】
【The whitewashing progress has reached 50%! 】
【The whitewashing progress has reached 60%! 】
As the system finished excitedly explaining the latest progress, Tang Yu lazily turned over and asked casually:
"Finished?"
"Yes!" The system nodded heavily.
It's almost crying with excitement, okay? It's already halfway through!
Wait...why doesn't the host seem excited at all? A sense of doubt rose in the system's heart.
Tang Yu waved his empty wrist, and the original light computer disappeared, replaced by a golden chain.
As Tang Yu raised his hand, the thin golden chain made a slight sound.
The system looked at Tang Yu in confusion.
Tang Yu sighed faintly: "My silly boss, didn't you notice that my computer is gone?"
"Oh~," the system said with a look of sudden enlightenment, then asked softly, "So, does this have anything to do with progress?"
Tang Yu smiled kindly, sighed at the system, and said earnestly, "Tong, since Xino has turned evil, can't you guess that he will do something to my computer?"
"If Sino really wanted to investigate, he would probably know about Kerr by now."
Kerr, who can't control his mouth, might have sold him out long ago.
If he really thought the same as he did, then Xino should have known that the rumor of "he eloped with a love bug" was just a rumor.
I guess this is how the progress was made.
After listening to Tang Yu's analysis, the system gave Tang Yu a thumbs up.
It’s settled, no one can separate it and its host from now on!
"Then shouldn't you be happy, host?" The system was still a little confused about Tang Yu's current performance, because it could not see a trace of joy on Tang Yu's face.
Tang Yu said quietly, "How do you think I'm going to tell you why I had to leave? And how am I going to explain the divorce notice?"
Oh no.
No wonder the host is not very happy. It turns out there is such a big hole waiting for the host to fill.
Well, leave these to the host.
It's time for it to disappear.
Just as Tang Yu was tossing and turning, the door downstairs made a soft "ding" sound.
If I'm not mistaken...it should be Xino who is back?
So Tang Yu silently got into position——
He was hunched slightly with his back to the door, looking forbearing and aggrieved.
