The puzzled little fish turned to look at Helian Jue, its meaning clear: "Brother, this is your subordinate."
Hmm... a subordinate who's a bit mentally unstable.
Helian Jue looked somewhat embarrassed, reluctant to admit it, but had no choice but to.
"Get in here."
Luns and Cui Jing realized they had just made a foolish mistake and cautiously walked in.
"Your Highness," Luns broke the ice first, stating his purpose.
Qiao You looked up, glancing at Luns and then at Cui Jing. These two were just smart in appearance, huh?
Helian Jue pulled Qiao You closer to his chest. "Let's talk here."
Lens glanced furtively at Cui Jing. "Here?" Was such a serious matter being accompanied by background music from a children's science cartoon?
Tsk! His Highness is truly a foolish ruler!
Qiao You's attention had already returned to the television screen, which he was watching with great interest, showing absolutely no interest in what Helian Jue and the others were about to discuss.
Luns reported the message that Arad had sent back to Helian Jue in detail.
This includes the alliance's training exercises and Helian Tu's ambitions.
"Your Highness, what should we do?" Lens forced his brain back to normal and started pinching his thigh.
The cartoons that His Highness is watching seem really good? They're quite interesting.
Cui Jing, who doesn't need to report to her work, has already set her sights on someone and doesn't even turn her head back.
Helian Jue tightly grasped Qiao You's hand, who was staring intently at him and unconsciously biting his nails. "Respond to all changes with constancy."
"Continue to observe."
Lens understood. "Yes."
"Cui Jing, bring over the cut fruit from the kitchen refrigerator," Helian Jue instructed.
But Cui Jing was so engrossed in watching that he didn't hear a thing.
With the belief that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, Lens gave a light kick, leaving a bright footprint on his khaki pants—a genuine gesture of brotherly affection.
"You kicked..." The kick was real and hurt. Just as Cui Jing was preparing to fight Luns to the death, he remembered where they were and stopped.
Helian Jue repeated what he had said, ignoring the physical altercation between the two.
Cui Jing quickly went to the kitchen, where a plate of finely sliced fruit appeared before her.
A few ordinary apple slices were carved into various animal shapes; they really have the leisure and ingenuity.
Of course, Your Highness's leisurely pursuits belong solely to the young prince.
Qiao You leaned back in Helian Jue's arms, watching TV while being fed by his brother, which was very comfortable.
"When will Helian Cheng return?" Helian Jue asked. Lin Zhong was in charge of Helian Cheng and Su Sang's trip to Blue Water Star.
Cui Jing had spoken with Lin Zhong on the phone that afternoon, so he could answer the question: "Brother Zhong said we'll land on Capital Star first thing tomorrow morning."
"Um."
The living room on the first floor of the villa fell silent, with only cheerful cartoon background music and occasional bursts of laughter.
Helian Jue glanced at the little fish in his arms. He had always liked this style of animation, but how could these two people opposite him be so engrossed in it?
He truly couldn't understand...
"Lens".
"Cui Jing."
"Are you two planning to spend the night here?" Helian Jue reminded him expressionlessly.
Lens pulled Cui Jing to his feet. "If Your Highness welcomes it, that's fine too."
Helian Jue used his eyes to show whether he was happy or not!
Not daring to challenge authority, the two took their leave. Just as they reached the door, they heard Helian Jue's words.
"There are two baskets of apples at the door. Let's take them and share them with everyone."
"These were grown by the little fish herself."
"Don't waste it."
Luns and Cui Jing replied in unison, "Understood! Thank you, Your Highness!"
"We will definitely eat it all up, not even spitting out the pits."
Qiao You smiled and looked towards the door, waving to the two of them.
Luns and Cui Jing each carried a basket of apples as they walked out, their chests rumbling. The apples in the baskets were large and red, far superior in quality to other apples on the market. A slight approach revealed a fragrant aroma that made one's mouth water.
"How can apples smell so good!" Cui Jing exclaimed, wishing he could take a bite right away.
Lens deeply agreed, "This was planted by His Highness himself, it must be extraordinary."
Cui Jing expressed his agreement.
The young prince has many wonderful things to offer. Only those who don't understand the truth and are biased would think that the prince marrying the young prince is beneath his status.
If we go by their logic, it's clearly His Highness who's marrying above his station by being with the young prince.
Two baskets of apples were brought to the base. Cui Jing and Lun Si thought that since they had carried them all the way back, it wouldn't be unreasonable for them to eat one more.
So, feeling perfectly justified, they each took a bath and sat back-to-back in the rocking chairs to start munching on their food.
For a moment, the only sound in the room was the smacking of apples.
That's it, they don't want this fake brotherhood, they just want to keep it all to themselves...
Luns and Cui Jing sent a message in the base group, telling everyone to come over quickly, or they would regret it.
After sending the message, the two immediately set their personal computers to Do Not Disturb mode and began an ancient prayer ritual, hoping that no one would come over!
Hope is beautiful, but reality is cruel.
In less than an hour, everyone was present, except for Lin Zhong and Wei Yin, who were not currently on the capital planet.
One for each person, that's all.
At first, some people complained that they were tricked into coming with just an apple, which was a waste of talent.
As a result, after just one bite, I was slapped in the face.
"Did His Highness grow these himself? Where did you grow them? They taste so good!"
"Any more? Lens, could you give me another one?"
"Our prince is truly blessed! Why don't I have such good fortune?"
