Life in the capital city of Xingqiao is happy and joyful every day.
With Qiao You's encouragement, Helian Jue nodded in agreement to Eleanor's proposal.
Yu Qin and Lucy rubbed their hands together and started planning, while Qiao You also chimed in with his ideas in a low voice.
"Your Highness Qiao You, what are your thoughts?" Yu Qin was meeting Qiao You for the first time, and both his expression and words were somewhat timid. But this wasn't his fault; the face was simply too striking...
Lucy glanced at Yu Qin with a pathetic look, but she could only steal a glance before quickly lowering her head.
Yu Qin sneered inwardly, "Aren't you just as useless?"
Qiao You had no idea that these two had such rich inner thoughts. Swinging his tail and munching on dried fish, he said, "You can just call me by my name."
Little Fish thought for a moment and said, "Can I take a picture of my brother telling me a story?"
"After that, I can listen to it using my personal computer!"
Lucy and Yu Qin took note of the suggestion; they had to get it done!
While discussing matters with Eleanor, Helian Jue was somewhat distracted by Qiao You, fearing that his little fish might be wronged.
For the rest of the time, Yu Qin and Lucy discussed the matter, and Qiao You listened with great interest.
The three did not leave until nightfall.
"Brother, is a public opinion poll really that important?" Qiao You asked, as everyone was discussing it today.
Helian Jue patted Qiao You's head, "Not as important as Xiao Yu."
Qiao You pouted, "Brother, you're so annoying!"
Before we knew it, it was the end of July. The little fish had grown a bit more, and now it was sitting in Helian Jue's palm with its tail drooping down.
In reality, the little fish was no longer suitable to always curl up in the palm of the hand at this age, and Helian Jue also felt uncomfortable with his tail curled up, but Qiao You only loved the palm of the hand.
“Little Fish, it’s not that I don’t want you to sit, it’s just that I’m afraid you’ll feel uncomfortable.” Helian Jue explained earnestly. He used to be a man of few words and wouldn’t break things down, and he was the same way with Lin Zhong and Eleanor.
But when facing Qiao You, he couldn't help but explain everything in detail.
Qiao You pouted and remained silent.
His older brother complained that he was too heavy! But... but he's growing up! He'll be an adult soon.
Qiao You's eyes darted around, and Helian Jue knew what he was thinking, so he quickly said, "Brother, don't you think the little fish is heavy?"
"Little Fish is my only treasure, I cherish her too much."
When facing Qiao You, Helian Jue was naturally adept at deceiving people.
Qiao You burst into laughter through his tears, and the matter was considered closed.
The ordinary days passed by one by one. The newly opened track on the Donggong account received unanimous praise. Even His Majesty Helian Chengdu summoned Helian Jue to the palace to praise him.
Although Helian Jue didn't care about these things, Qiao You was very happy.
That day, Helian Jue took Qiao You to the Spirit Pet Pavilion for a routine check-up in the morning.
Just as Qiao You arrived home from the petting zoo, a rapid alarm sounded from Helian Jue's personal computer, startling him.
"Your Highness, something terrible has happened!" The next second, Lin Zhong rushed in.
"Last night, David Du led his army to occupy the planet Sol."
Helian Jue's face darkened, and in the blink of an eye, he had already come up with a solution.
"Lin Zhong, take my Crown Prince's decree and immediately summon everyone on the Space Force's Expeditionary Ship. We'll depart for Sol Star in one hour," Helian Jue ordered. "I... will be there immediately."
Lin Zhong accepted the order and left.
Helian Jue looked at Qiao You, unsure how to tell Xiaoyu.
He had solemnly promised that he would definitely take Xiaoyu with him in the future, but he broke his promise so quickly.
"Little Fish, I'm sorry." Helian Jue felt very apologetic, but the situation on Sol Star was unclear, so he dared not take Little Fish with him.
Qiao You cupped Helian Jue's face in her hands, and the two touched foreheads. "Brother, I understand."
"You must come back safely."
"Little Fish is waiting for you at home."
Over the past few months, Qiao You has been aware of the conflicts between the Empire and the Alliance, and Helian Jue, as the Crown Prince of the Empire, has his own mission.
Hearing Xiaoyu say this, Helian Jue felt even more sorry for Qiao You.
"My dear little fish, if you miss your brother, just send me a message using your personal terminal." Helian Jue reluctantly instructed, "I'll have Su Yinchen bring Su Xia to stay with you."
Qiao You nodded obediently, without crying or whining that he wanted to go too. In just a few minutes, Xiao Yu's emotions were unusually stable, and she even comforted Helian Jue.
Five minutes later, Helian Jue boarded the shuttle, looking back every few steps, leaving Qiao You alone in the huge villa.
Only after Helian Jue's shuttle was completely out of sight did Qiao You begin to silently wipe away his tears.
"elder brother……"
The sobbing was particularly noticeable in the empty villa, but there was no one to comfort her. Qiao You could only cry and wipe her tears as she did so.
The little silver-blue fish cried until its eyes were swollen, and its little hands wiped away the tears until its face turned red.
Qiao You just leaned against the window, looking at the villa's gate and the direction Helian Jue had left in.
In this era, Helian Jue was Qiao You's only support.
When Su Yinchen and Su Xia received Helian Jue's message, they immediately rushed from Yunlai Manor to the villa.
"Su Yinchen, hurry up!" Su Xia was extremely anxious and kept urging Su Yinchen, wishing she could kick him by the tail. If he kept dragging his feet, Youyou would be very sad!
Su Yinchen remained rational and personally packed Su Xia's daily necessities. The little spirit pets were precious and had to be taken good care of.
Amidst the chaos, Su Yinchen and Su Xia finally arrived at the villa.
Qiao You, as always, sat on the head of the housekeeping robot to open the door, greeting her with a smile: "Xiaxia."
Seeing that Qiao You's eyes were red, Su Xia knew that she must have just been crying, and replied, "Youyou."
