Chapter 157 [Revised] His father betrayed him, so he will kiss whoever feeds him. …
Yu Chen lowered his eyes slightly, and held his wrist with his hand, "Pinch the little bird's claws, and everything will go smoothly..."
Bai Ling pinched the mermaid to her heart's content.
When he put down his palms, his body temperature suddenly rose and the calluses on his hands softened a bit. He awkwardly put his hands back into his pockets, and just then the terminal vibrated, so Bai Ling took it out to look at it.
[Admiral Schloerland]: Cub! Are you back? I have something important to tell you.
Scrolling up, there is one unread message:
[Admiral Schloerland]: Run away!
escape? There is nothing to escape. Bai Ling subconsciously looked around. The lights in the town were bright and the Gobi Desert was quiet. Even the sound of birds flapping their wings as they flew across the sky could be faintly heard.
It's incredibly safe.
Did I send the wrong message? However, when Bai Ling saw the words "I have something to say", he became sensitive and asked Yu Chen:
"Did you have a conflict with the Admiral? He called me yesterday and said you had fooled him. So what happened?"
There was no need for Yu Chen to hide anything from him, so he told him everything: "He cannot accept my marriage to you and wants to deprive me of my custody rights."
"Custody?"
Bai Ling blurted out, "Why didn't you ask me about this?"
The choice between guardian and omega is a two-way one. Although the mermaid seems to have great authority, Bai Ling actually has to give him a score in the system every month.
It can be said that it is not the word "guardian" that makes Yu Chen so strong. Instead, it was the high scores given by Bai Ling in unison that gave the alpha power.
Bai Ling is the one who empowers this matter.
As for the transfer of guardianship, not to mention that the sale of a house requires the signatures of both parties, under normal circumstances, the transfer of voluntary guardianship must be approved by the person himself.
But now, why does Bai Ling feel that he, the person involved, is being ignored and invisible?
His eyes deepened slightly, and he first told Yu Chen: "Next time you encounter something like this, tell me first. Don't let me know that the account information column has been changed when I go out for a walk and come back."
Very disrespectful.
Yu Chen was stunned for a moment, then he squeezed his arm soothingly, almost compromising: "I'll pay attention next time."
Bai Ling's expression eased a little. A good husband is one who admits his mistakes and corrects them. His emotions came and went quickly. He took the mermaid's arm and his tough tone disappeared, becoming cold:
"Don't worry, I will take care of this matter."
It’s more about taking away power than taking away responsibility.
Family power.
Similar disputes and compromises always happen in a flash. This is a tacit understanding between the two people. Things should be done on the same day and no grudges should be held overnight.
As a monarch with real power, Yu Chen never bowed his head to anyone even when there were large troops stationed on the border. But diplomatic rhetoric is not the same as family relationships. Bai Ling respects and loves him, so of course he also has the right to criticize him - the equality of status is reflected in this aspect.
Besides, don't think that their relationship is really so smooth and seamless.
The conflict for the right to speak has never stopped.
His ambitious queen is very loyal when she is loyal, and even more of a bandit when she is a bandit. As an omega, he can touch the strategic virtual star map in the study in the middle of the night and murmur, "This star is good, I want this one, and I want that one too."
All kinds of desires are difficult to satisfy.
In private, sometimes when he didn't do something to his satisfaction, he would even sit on the bed and sneer at Yu Chen. If he were an ordinary alpha, his self-esteem would have been hurt by him.
Yu Chen really admired his temperament.
In Yu Chen's eyes, Bai Ling is a female who will not be dominated by sex. In the past, the ruling class always kept omegas ignorant of their bodies and delegated the management of desires to alphas, making it easier to control them based on gender.
For example, in the Mammal Federation, children are taught "how to be an omega" and are instilled with labels such as "purity, ignorance, and shame." So much so that many o don’t even know how to please themselves during estrus.
But Bai Ling knows his body very well and he won't feel ashamed about it.
Yu Chen quite appreciated this. Because Top A doesn't need a pure and ignorant prey, he needs a seasoned and skilled hunter.
And I am also quite happy to cooperate, occasionally disguising myself as my prey -
Let females get the satisfaction of hunting.
A glimmer of joy flashed across Yu Chen's eyes, but disappeared in an instant.
Bai Ling captured:?
This fish is thinking of some bad idea again and looks so proud of himself.
He wanted to ask, but when he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed a high protective net surrounding the road ahead, with a triangular warning sign with a yellow background and a red border on it:
【warn! Danger, no entry]
This fence wasn't there when he left.
But Bai Ling changed his mind and realized that there were no mercenaries on the ship now, and Yu Chen was the only fish left. From a safety perspective, it was indeed necessary to build some defensive fortifications.
From this perspective, the fence is not strong enough and needs to be equipped with a cement wall with particle energy.
Bai Ling thought so and walked into the door that opened automatically.
Perhaps he has become accustomed to the gloomy name of "devil".
He automatically ignored the word "Danger" on the warning sign.
·
When I walked into the lobby downstairs, I looked up and saw a sweeper squatting on the path I had to pass.
Shi Luolan had been waiting for a long time, just waiting for Bai Ling to come back so that he could have a private chat with him. But I didn't expect that he would come back with that old viper.
Shi Luolan still felt a lingering fear when she thought about what happened last time. He secretly made up his mind that he must not let the monarch seize the opportunity and deviate from the rhythm this time.
This time, the monarch only nodded and smiled, and Bai Ling spoke first:
"Admiral, do you have something to ask me?"
Shi Luolan was about to speak when he heard Bai Ling say:
"It just so happens that I just got back and haven't had dinner yet. Why don't you have a simple meal with us, Admiral? We can chat at the table."
After saying that, Bai Ling glanced at Yu Chen from the side.
Yu Mochen took over and said with a smile: "Just right, I prepared an extra dish today."
The Admiral felt strangely uncomfortable when he heard the word "more", as if he was vaguely accused of being "redundant".
Shi Luolan was a little unhappy and found an excuse: "No need to eat. Anyway, I am just a ghost now and can't taste anything. It's just a waste of food."
It's a bit sad to say.
Bai Ling immediately gave him an idea: "That's not a problem. There are quite a few spare bionic men in the warehouse, all with simulated gastrointestinal systems and taste sensors. You can find a replacement later. In this way, we can sit at the table together."
Shi Luolan was stunned for a moment, his CPU spinning wildly, racking his brains to think of other reasons.
At this time, the bionic attendant came over and bowed to Bai Ling: "Your luggage has been sent upstairs."
Bai Ling said casually: "Yeah, I understand."
He put the key on his hand, twirled it slowly with his fingertips, and raised his hand to signal them, "I'm going to take a look at the hangar. The Sidewinder needs some maintenance."
"Go ahead." Yu Chen responded.
The footsteps faded away, and the hall fell silent, leaving only the two alphas.
Shi Luolan used the screen of the sweeper to make a grimace:
"What the hell are you trying to do?"
Yu Chen asked leisurely: "Why do you repeatedly refuse a family dinner?"
What kind of dinner party is this? It must be the Hongmen Banquet!
Shi Luolan just wanted to privately remind the bird cub that the area blocked by the venomous snakes might be over its breeding season. And judging from the bird's relaxed state just now, it might not know about this yet. As a father, he has the right to take his children and escape from potential danger.
never mind. It's okay for him to go with you.
No matter what happened, he would carry his child and run away.
Shi Luolan raised his head and replied, "I just don't want to be deceived by you again."
After saying this, the servant came over to guide him and sent him to change his body.
Yu Chen looked at the back of the sweeper sliding away, and suddenly smiled and said, "So that's it. I thought Shi Luolanqing was afraid to tell Bai Ling that you are his biological father."
The sweeper got stuck, rolled down two flights of stairs, and broke apart on the ground.
The attendant said in a very human way: "Ah... the horse stumbled."
·
After Bai Ling finished maintaining the Rattler, he swept the dust inside the cabin. Before leaving, he opened the refrigerator and looked inside. The partition had been removed and placed at an angle, just enough to put one leg down.
Do you want to take it upstairs?
After thinking about it, I decided to forget it. If he carried such a big thing up there, he would definitely be seen. If the admiral asked him something, he would definitely get furious again.
But if you think about it carefully, the admiral's attention to him seems to have far exceeded that of an adopted son who is like an apprentice.
It feels a bit weird...
Jumping off the mecha, Bai Ling asked Rattlesnake if he wanted to close the gate and take a rest. The little girl answered in a serious voice:
"Master, please don't close the gate. I'm still receiving data."
The newly-acquainted Mecha Apollo was determined to find the strongest pilot in the galaxy, Shi Luolan, to be its master, so he collected data everywhere and sent it to Rattlesnake to show off.
Bai Ling paused and turned around: "What kind of data?"
Rattlesnake: "Admiral Schroland's old files. It belongs to the Imperial Military's Class III secret database."
Apollo was previously Kanei's mecha, so naturally he had high authority. But Bai Ling didn't expect that Marshal Golden Eagle would spoil his child to such an extent that he even dared to let the child see files that only lieutenant generals were qualified to open.
If caught, he will be charged with dereliction of duty.
This also indirectly shows that there are more and more chaos in the military.
Bai Ling said to it: "Please send a copy of the data to my terminal."
Rattlesnake sent a message, and the electronic paper page was slowly loaded. Bai Ling's fingers slid down quickly, and suddenly stopped, and his eyes slowly stayed on the photo in the upper right corner.
He had never seen a human-shaped photo of Schloerland before.
Most of the high-level data of the old empire were destroyed, sealed, and locked up, and civilians were not allowed to read or study them.
So it was not until today that he knew what Admiral Schlolan looked like - short, neat gray-blue hair, black eyes, a young and handsome figure, with sharp eyes that seemed to have hooks. At the age of 45, he has already been promoted to admiral, and is a well-deserved top in the interstellar world no matter where he is.
Scrolling further down, there is a series of countless achievements.
He was once the strongest commander in the empire, and his reputation was well-deserved.
However, Bai Ling skipped the detailed text descriptions and turned back to the photo page. He used two fingers to zoom in, and then zoom in again. He held up the terminal screen towards the light. The light refracted on the screen and his reflection was projected. The face in the photo and his own outline gradually overlapped... But Shi Luolan looked more mature than Bai Ling now.
Or, if 42-year-old Bai Ling was standing here.
Two people will be more alike.
·
As previously agreed, white asparagus was prepared for dinner.
Of course, it’s fun to cook the vegetables you grow yourself. Yu Chen put down the knife for cutting bamboo shoots and watched a small piece of butter emulsify in the pan.
The kitchen door slid open and his bird returned. This trip took a lot longer than Yu Chen had imagined. Sure enough, before he opened his mouth to ask, the bird reached out to turn off the stove, and instead of the butter, it came directly over and melted in Yu Chen's arms.
After waiting quietly for ten seconds, Yu Chen asked carefully:
"what happened?"
"nothing."
After the bird finished speaking, it instantly stood up straight, gathered its emotions, and left. Before leaving, I added:
"I want more pepper for my portion."
It seemed as if the battery had run out somewhere and it came here temporarily to recharge.
His behavior of suddenly barging into the scene to ask for a touch and then running away usually makes Yu Chen the most favored, so at least he will pick him up and play with him on the kitchen counter for a while.
But today, Yu Chen let him leave and looked at the mushy bottom of the pot, as if thinking.
Shi Luolan was led to take a seat at the antique dining table specially provided by the royal family. After changing to a bionic body, my field of vision suddenly became much higher and I could observe more details.
Bai Ling was polite to him and greeted him like a master. She poured tea, took sugar cubes, and asked about his taste, asking, "What would you like to drink?"
Yu Chen was very generous and said with a smile: "I must let the general taste my treasures."
"Which bottle?"
"Red sherry label, bottle from 2389."
Shi Luolan looked over and found that the child had inherited her height and a slender figure. Bai Ling held the crystal glass wine glass in his left hand, opened the cabinet with his right hand, and tiptoed slightly to reach the wine bottle on the top shelf.
He stepped on the carpet barefoot, his human toes bluish-white, holding their ground. It looked like he had just taken a hot shower, but the clothes he was wearing were still the same dirty ones he had just come back from.
There were too many bottles, blocking my view, so I couldn’t find it.
Putting his heels on the ground, Bai Ling retracted his arm, picked up some nuts from the plate and stuffed them into his mouth, then prepared to bend down to get a footstool.
Shi Luolan saw this and felt jealous. The kid is here and feels as relaxed as if he were at home.
Yu Chen thought in his heart, poor child, he was so flustered that he even forgot to change his clothes.
He walked calmly across the restaurant, passed by the seated Shi Luolan, walked to the other side, and casually snatched the footstool from Bai Ling's hand.
With Yu Chen's height, there was no need to use a stool, but he still stepped on it and began to search carefully on the upper shelf of the wine cabinet:
"I have so many things and they are so messy, and the cabinets are so high that sometimes I can't even find them myself."
Shi Luolan found it strange. When the monarch stood on a stool, he was already higher than the wine cabinet, but now he had to bend his waist. Why do this?
Bai Ling stood nearby, stunned.
… He’s taking care of his self-esteem.
"Found it. It was hidden in the corner." Yu Chen wiped off the dust with his sleeve and then handed it to Bai Ling.
At this time, he noticed that Bai Ling was not wearing socks, and politely raised his head and said to Shi Luolan:
"Excuse me."
It was almost a subconscious action, like a well-educated parent apologizing for his reckless child with helplessness and love.
It seemed as if he was the father.
Shi Luolan suddenly felt his throat blocked and he had difficulty breathing. A feeling of anger mixed with a strong sense of offense swept through his brain.
The cuckoo takes over the magpie's nest!
In front of the child, he would act condescendingly and challenge him, showing off that he has taken over the child's life.
Because of his death and his absence, other A's took away the position in "family" that should have belonged to him. And this person is his boss, several times older than him... It's simply unreasonable!
The butler served the food, and the asparagus tips were fried until crispy and tasted the best. Yu Chen had more food on his plate, so he passed it over:
"Eat my plate."
Bai Ling habitually exchanged plates with him. At the same time, he felt the mermaid stroking his extremely tense back through the cover. He knew that Shi Luolan was watching him from the opposite side, so he didn't move and let Yu Chen finish touching him.
Yu Chen sat back down and said casually:
"The journey was so stressful. I guess I need to go to bed early today."
To Bai Ling, these words seemed to be a show of consideration for his mental instability and a way of protecting his child.
But to Shi Luolan, it sounded like an advance hint to clear the area, to drive him away, and to do something unforgivable to the bird cub!
Bai Ling lowered her eyes, her eyelashes hiding her expression, poked a piece of beef eye with a fork, and responded:
"good."
The word "good" completely made Shi Luolan lose his mind - he couldn't get a word in, as if he was the strange outsider here, and the two people opposite him were a close family. This is wrong, this is not right at all!
The chair fell over, and Shi Luolan stood up suddenly, panting, "This shouldn't be the case!"
"What's the matter?" Bai Ling asked calmly.
Shi Luolan instantly pointed at Yu Chen and objected loudly: "You shouldn't live in his house and stay with him!"
"Why?"
"Because, because..." Hurry up, come up with the crucial reason. If you don't say it, the cub will really be taken away. Shi Luolan seemed to have a fever in his brain and blurted out, "Because I am your biological father, I am your real family——"
"You should come back to me, kid..."
Before he could finish his words, Shi Luolan raised his head and suddenly his whole body froze and stood there in a daze.
There was no expression on his cub's face that could be described as "touched".
Those warm and touching family reunion scenes that he had imagined countless times did not reappear on this table at all.
There was no bird cub that shed tears of shock, then wiped its eyes and called him "Dad". With only his elbows resting on the table, he looked at Bai Ling with a scrutinizing and calm gaze.
Bai Ling had already digested the shock.
What a smart man he was. Thinking about his bloodline, the Earth woman in the admiral's diary, and then the photo, everything seemed to become clear in an instant.
"So," Bai Ling lowered his eyes and casually poked the asparagus on the plate with a fork, "You knew I was Bai Ke's child from the day you met me. You made up an excuse to transfer money to me because you wanted to compensate me."
"Yes..." After a long while, Shi Luolan could only utter one word.
"For half a year, you have been with me day and night, but you have always kept it a secret from me. Until today, in order to exercise your so-called father's power, you made a decision for me, an omega who couldn't recognize his partner, and suddenly told me the truth?"
“…”
Shi Luolan clenched his hands tightly and was unable to answer.
There was no emotion on Bai Ling's face. He was not disappointed, nor angry. He was just so numb that he didn't know what to say. If this recognition of relatives had happened ten years ago, a year ago, or even half a year ago, he would have been so happy that tears would well up in his eyes, thinking that he still had relatives and an admiral father who loved him, but it was a pity that he died too early.
But as time passed, the admiral had countless opportunities to confess, but he just looked at his face and swallowed his words.
Bai Ling didn't believe in the saying "fatherly love is as high as a mountain" and remained silent.
In his opinion, the admiral suddenly stood up now, most likely because he was stimulated by Yu Chen - Xiong Jing.
It is well known that every time a male joins a family, power is redistributed.
The admiral fought with Yu Chen and lost, and could not get the right to speak, which laid the seeds for the explosion.
In the past, a father-in-law would treat his potential son-in-law as another son and would use his own rules to test him, such as drinking or doing other "very masculine" things.
The general must have also been looking forward to testing his son-in-law.
Therefore, he subconsciously thought that Mr. D was a young man, a little prince, and a junior.
However, now he suddenly discovered that his son-in-law was a monarch whose experience and status were dozens of times greater than his. As a father-in-law, he not only could not teach the monarch anything, but had to obey the other's orders.
This was a devastating blow to him.
——He couldn't control the situation.
His male instinct naturally took over, he became angry and wanted to fight for power.
Bai Ling then remembered that it was no wonder that in the royal families in history, the status of ministers' children would be automatically raised after marrying into the royal family, and the bride's family would perform greetings when they met them - this was to avoid power conflicts between father-in-law and son-in-law.
Bai Ling could roughly understand it, but it was not so easy to accept.
Because he was a falcon that was raised with great difficulty by his mother, and then sent to a place like an animal shelter and raised by the government. Such a falcon would not have any attachment to its biological father.
He kisses whoever feeds him.
It's just that simple.
So he was almost inhumane and said bluntly:
"Admiral Schlolan, thank you very much for your genes, and thank you for loving my mother. You saved my life, and I will repay this favor with the rest of my life."
"But I also want to tell you that Isupalaiso is very important to me. Even if you are my biological father, you have no power to order him to leave me."
"Because in this family, it is not him who decides his spouse's rights, but me."
After Shi Luolan heard this, he said anxiously: "Child, those are just some sweet words. He just wants to control you and get your loyalty!"
Bai Ling raised his eyes and said seriously and evenly: "You only saw that he demanded loyalty from me, but didn't you see that he swore in front of the whole world and gave up the so-called 'husband's rights' on the spot?"
Shi Luolan was speechless for a moment.
Yu Chen put away the cold plate and walked away gently, "Excuse me," giving them space.
After the mermaid left, Bai Ling took a deep breath and walked to the side to smoke a cigarette, but then he remembered that this was inside the house and the furniture would be tainted with smell. He held back, and when he spoke again, his voice was not as steady as before:
"This is the first time you admit that you're my biological father, just because you want me to listen to you."
As a child, how can you not feel wronged?
Shi Luolan saw him standing alone, his knuckles turning white and his slender figure looking lonely. Shi Luolan felt a pang in her heart, and her voice choked up as she spoke:
"I...Dad didn't mean to hide this from you..."
"Dad, I haven't figured out how to tell you... I haven't raised you for even a day, so what right do I have to recognize you as my biological parent? The first time, I missed my love, the second time, I missed my child's growth. My life has been a complete mistake..."
No one is born knowing how to be a parent.
What’s more, it was a male bird that died early.
"I will learn, son. If dad does something wrong in the future, you must tell me and I will change for the better... I will learn to be a less bad father... I will learn..."
The once powerful imperial figure burst into tears when facing his lost and found child.
All his achievements and the glory that had been sung for years became secondary when compared to his blank upbringing experience. Now he is no longer a respected admiral, he is just a guilt-ridden and collapsed ghost, a male bird who is in a panic and doesn't know how to be a father.
Bai Ling looked at him and remembered that he was 45 years old when he died, about the same age as himself in his previous life.
Perhaps, people should be given one more chance.
It was as if fate had given Bai Ling a chance to be reborn, and Bai Ling felt that he should also give others a chance. So he said "hmm" softly, which was a bit stiff, but he finally gave a response.
Shi Luolan was stunned for a moment, her eyes were still crying, but the corners of her mouth were smiling. He used the back of his bionic hand to wipe his bionic tears in a panic, threw away his so-called father's dignity, and tried to speak frankly:
"Thank you, cub..."
In the end, the kind-hearted kid still allowed him to become a family member. Although from now on, he will be a trainee dad for a long time...
The mechanical butler reheated the food, and the first family dinner ended in silence.
Bai Ling sent Shi Luolan to the door.
When saying goodbye, Shi Luolan realized it later... If the monarch had not shown concern for his son in front of him and brought out his dark side, he might not know how long it would take for him to confess.
Thank you——
Huh? ! Wait, bringing out the dark side, isn't that what demons are good at?
Turning back, he saw the gentle and dignified devil looking at him with interest across the corridor.
Shi Luolan's scalp went numb, as if his soul had been taken away. Only now did he suddenly remember why he came here. He quickly pulled Bai Ling over and lowered his voice:
"Cub, the monarch is going to have a breeding season. I don't know if he told you. If you stay with him, you may have to take a leave of absence this month. I still hope you can have a good talk with the monarch--"
Before he could finish his words, Bai Ling frowned, turned around and asked coldly:
"You were going to have a breeding season, why didn't you tell me?"
From a distance of five meters, Yu Chen saw Shi Luolan outside the door suddenly raise his eyebrows. The meaning is very clear - my old boss forced me and Birdie to blow ourselves up, so I will also expose your secrets!
Dad, let’s cheat each other.
A faint smile appeared on Yu Chen's lips, and his tone was gentle and harmless:
"From the beginning to the end, I never planned to let Bai Ling accompany me."
"What?" The other two were shocked and said in unison.
The monarch said slowly, "My queen is much more than a vessel to satisfy the alpha's reproductive desires."
