On Bell Star, Helian Jue, Qiao You, and Bai Heng rode together in a hovercar back to their residence.
The coat Bai Heng was wearing was the same one Qiao You had given him last year.
As soon as they got in the car, Helian Jue and Bai Heng fell silent. Qiao You glanced at the two of them and, sensing the awkward silence, tentatively asked, "What are we having for lunch?"
After Qiao You finished speaking, he kept looking at Bai Heng. Seeing that Bai Heng didn't react, he continued to suggest, "Brother, why don't you make meat porridge later?"
I want to eat fish cakes.
Helian Jue patted Qiao You's head. "Good!"
"Where is General Bai Heng? Is porridge and fish cake alright?" Qiao You kept staring at him.
Although Bai Heng was tough, he couldn't help but soften his stance when facing Qiao You. This child was the most innocent and pure person he had ever met in all these years, without so many twists and turns or tests.
His question only addresses the issue itself; there's no need to think about the deeper meaning.
Under the gaze of those ardent, clear eyes, Bai Heng succumbed and managed to squeeze out a single word, "Mmm."
Qiao You was pleased; it seemed that General Bai Heng was quite easy to get along with.
"Hehe, brother's cooking is excellent. General Bai Heng must try it later," Qiao You said with a smile.
In just a few words, the distance between them was shortened considerably.
Qiao You kept trying to find topics to talk about, He Lianjue chimed in, and Bai Heng occasionally chimed in, no longer as defensive and resistant as at the beginning.
Soon, the hovercar arrived at its accommodation.
Bai Heng walked alongside the two, occasionally glancing at Helian Jue and Qiao You.
It's actually quite amazing that these two got together.
One is naive and innocent, the other is mature and insightful.
"May I wash up first?" Bai Heng suddenly asked as they reached the door.
Qiao You volunteered, "I'll take you there."
Helian Jue quickened his pace and led the people to the room. Qiao You enthusiastically shared his experience with Bai Heng, saying, "General Bai Heng, the green and yellow bath bombs smell especially good."
"Green apple flavor and orange flavor."
"I like orange flavor because orange juice tastes especially good."
General Bai Heng looked at the child in front of him, who was talking animatedly, and his fierce expression softened unconsciously. "Hmm."
Previously, Bai Heng didn't think much of his injured voice, but now he's determined to recover it once he returns to the capital planet.
My throat was injured during a previous battle and wasn't properly treated. I also didn't get proper rest on Bell Star over the years, which gradually led to this condition.
After entering the bathroom in the bedroom, Bai Heng's hand paused in front of the yellow bath sponge.
In the end, we listened to the child's suggestion and used the orange flavor.
Qiao You followed Helian Jue into the kitchen. "Brother, General Bai Heng seems quite easy to talk to."
Before coming to Bel Star, Qiao You had done a lot of research. General Bai Heng had won countless battles during his years in the Empire and was known as the Empire's killing machine.
At the time, Qiao You thought this person must be very fierce, but after actually getting to know him, he seemed... quite peaceful.
Helian Jue smiled but didn't say anything. It wasn't that General Bai Heng was easy to get along with; he just sensed that Xiao Yu was harmless and automatically lowered his guard.
Along the way, aside from responding to what Xiaoyu said, he didn't pay any attention to him at all.
"Brother, look at the vegetables I washed, aren't they clean?" Qiao You loves water and always takes the initiative to do anything that requires water.
Of course, besides washing vegetables, Helian Jue wouldn't let the little fish touch anything else.
An hour later, Bai Heng finished washing up, and the three of them sat down at the dining table.
Meat porridge with fish cakes.
"General Bai Heng, isn't it delicious?" Qiao You took a spoonful of the meat porridge. Mmm! Delicious as always!
After washing up, Bai Heng changed his clothes. Even in ordinary casual clothes, his inherent aura was still undeniable.
There is a scar on the right side of my face below my ear, about three or four centimeters long, and there is also a small incision above my left eyebrow.
Bai Heng knew why Helian Jue had come, but he had been extremely patient the whole way and hadn't mentioned the matter at all.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Your Highness and the young master. It was delicious." Bai Heng stood up and performed the proper courtesy for a subject to a prince.
This action was also a clear signal, indicating that Bai Heng acknowledged his former identity and was willing to communicate with him.
Helian Jue immediately stood up and took Bai Heng's wrist, saying, "General, there's no need for such formalities."
"It's just a simple meal; I'm glad the general is happy with it."
Qiao You, holding a spoon, watched this scene with a very good mood!
My brother has finally completed half of what he's been thinking about.
After dinner, Qiao You asked someone to play in the courtyard, while Helian Jue and Bai Heng went into the study.
