Chapter 86 Chapter 86 (Part 2)

In order to reduce mental stress, the human body will enter a dormant period after entering the escape capsule. Only when rescued and the capsule is opened will the people in the escape capsule gradually wake up.

Rong Heng looked at the egg-shaped life capsule in a panic and stopped Dareth from opening it.

"Wait a minute, wait until we get back to B3024."

At least give him some time to think about what to do next.

He dragged his tired body to take a shower first. After washing off the blood stains on his body, he lay down in the treatment cabin of the battleship.

But the wounds on his body were of varying depths. By the time he returned to Planet B3024 at the speed of the battleship, his injuries would definitely not have fully recovered.

Rong Heng thought silently for a long time and decided to wait for Ruan Shiqing to wake up, then leave in advance with the excuse that he had something else to do, and then come back as Snowball.

Snowball had been injured before, so this could make it go away.

But this is not a solution.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feels like he is walking on a tightrope on a cliff, and if he is not careful, he might fall off.

He sighed and asked Noah, "What do you think I should do?"

He simply couldn't imagine how angry Ruan Shiqing would be when he knew the truth. Would he think he was playing with him?

But at first he just didn't admit that he was Snowball for the sake of saving face.

Raising his arms to cover his eyes, he muttered to himself, "If I had known earlier, I would not have cared about this little bit of face."

In that case, perhaps he and Ruan Shiqing would have become good friends who could talk about anything, and he might even have been the first to get the upper hand, and he wouldn't be in the dilemma now.

Noah sarcastically said, "In my opinion, I suggest you be honest with Mr. Ruan. A relationship built on lies cannot last long."

He understood the principles, but understanding and actually doing them were two different things.

Rong Heng took a deep breath and said in a muffled voice: "I'll think about it again."

The fear of being kicked out lingered in his heart. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hesitated and thought, he should be honest, but should he find a better time?

Maybe if the relationship between the two of them was closer, then even if Ruan Shiqing was angry at that time... he shouldn't have decided to kick him out?

The battleship traveled at superluminal speed, gradually approaching the B3024 star.

Looking at the planet getting closer and closer, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's face became gloomy, as if he was facing a powerful enemy.

This was the last time, the last time he lied to Ruan Shiqing.

The battleship passed through the atmosphere and landed on the newly built helipad.

The cubs and the little robot Baba who were waiting on the helipad rushed up and surrounded Rong Heng who had come out first.

The kids and 09 only knew that Rong Heng and Ruan Shiqing encountered danger while out and sent back a distress signal, but they didn't know what kind of danger it was.

The little dragon climbed up along Rong Heng's trouser legs and squatted on his shoulders. He muttered and complained: "We were scared to death, and Dares didn't let us go with him." He poked his head out of his cigarette: "Why hasn't Dad come down yet?"

"That's right." The little fox echoed and pointed at the little mermaid and Ruan Jiao: "They were both so scared that they almost cried."

The little mermaid blushed, glanced at Rong Heng subconsciously, and replied weakly: [I didn’t.]

He is already a mature mermaid and won't cry.

After saying this, he stretched his neck to look out the cabin door, waiting for his father to come out.

The little robot 09 stood beside the cart, craning his neck to look at the display screen with him. The red dots on the screen kept flashing.

In the cubs' hearts, Rong Heng is absolutely strong, and as long as he is there, Dad will definitely not be in danger. So the cubs, who were worried, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Rong Heng.

Ruan Jiao, the youngest, listened to them talking, walked up slowly, held Rong Heng's hand and shook it gently.

The tentacles on his forehead, which had been lowered for a long time, began to sway happily.

The cubs chatted with Rong Heng for a few words, but before their father came out, they looked hesitant. The little dragon cub frowned and asked again, "Why hasn't Dad come out yet?"

"I'll go look for it on the battleship." The little fox was already wagging its tail, preparing to run to the battleship.

"Dad is fine." Rong Heng grabbed her collar and pulled her back, urging Dares: "Hurry up."

Dares carefully commanded the two robots and finally transported the escape capsule out.

The cubs stared at the giant metal egg with wide eyes.

The little dragon cub was shocked, his golden eyes widened: "Dad turned into an egg?!"

The little fox and Ruan Jiao rushed up directly, patting the outer shell of the life capsule and calling for their father.

Only the little mermaid pursed her lips, poked the cubs one by one, and explained: "This is the escape cabin."

Rong Heng, who was watching from the side, frowned and clicked his tongue. These kids really need to study hard.

It's really not good to be uneducated.

The cubs escorted the escape pod back to the repair shop with a lot of chatter, then watched 09 carefully transport the escape pod to the yard and finally open it.

Ruan Shiqing was still in sleep, holding the storage device in his arms, his brows were tightly knitted, with a hint of worry between his brows.

When he finally woke up from his sleep, half an hour had passed.

When I opened my eyes, I saw four worried little faces.

The cubs clung to the edge of the lifeboat, poked their heads to look inside, and saw that he had finally opened his eyes. They all rushed to call him "Dad".

The little dragon took advantage of his body shape to climb onto the escape capsule and snuggle into his arms.

The second one who was not willing to be outdone was the little fox.

The two little cubs clutched their father's clothes tightly, rolling and rubbing against each other, and were extremely happy.

Unable to crawl in, Ruan Jiao could only cling to the edge, waving his tentacles anxiously and calling out weakly, "Dad, Dad!"

Ruan Shiqing handed the memory stick to 09 beside him, carried the two cubs out, and gently hugged Ruan Jiao and the little mermaid. The two cubs who failed to jump into their father's arms and acted coquettishly finally smiled with contentment and curved their eyes.

His eyes fell on Rong Heng who was one step away. Ruan Shiqing finally smiled and looked relieved: "I'm so sorry for you this time."

Rong Heng pursed his lips, turned away uncomfortably, and said softly: "I said I would take you out."

…

After the false shock, Ruan Shiqing and 09 went into the kitchen again and prepared a sumptuous meal to celebrate, and even got two bottles of good wine.

The cubs sat together, chattering and talking.

Mellor and others sat on the other side drinking. Dares sipped the wine and couldn't help gossiping with Mellor in a low voice.

He still didn't quite believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would ever fall in love, but facts told him that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treated Master Ruan very differently.

Even when speaking, he is kinder than he is to others.

Single Dares was in a bad mood and didn't really want this to be true. If even the Crown Prince was single and he was still single, it would be too embarrassing.

The others were in their own groups, only the Crown Prince, who was worried, came out from under the sheets.

Ruan Shiqing walked up to him with a glass of wine, raised his glass and clinked it with his in a friendly and natural manner. Although Mr. Rong still had that cold and hard look on his face, he no longer kept his distance out of courtesy, but truly regarded him as a close and trustworthy friend, not just a trustworthy partner.

"The glory is gone. I will build you a new shuttle in the future."

Just bring back antimatter.

He knew that Mr. Rong had been driving "Glory" all along, and the two of them had gone through life and death together. It would seem strange to talk about human relationships again.

Rong Heng keenly noticed the change in his attitude towards him. He stroked the wine glass with his fingertips and raised his eyes to gaze at the young man with rosy cheeks. His Adam's apple rolled several times, and finally he just uttered a low "hmm".

In the end, he still didn't have the courage to be honest with him.

Wait a little longer, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thought with a lack of confidence.

After the meal, Rong Heng said goodbye to Ruan Shiqing, using the excuse that he had to leave for a while because of something at the military department. He was too guilty to even go to see Ruan Shiqing: "Snowball's injury has almost healed, Dares will send him back."

Ruan Shiqing knew that he was always busy, so he did not try to keep him. He just personally sent him to the helipad and watched him launch the battleship and leave.

When he returned to the repair shop, he saw the Xiong brothers carrying the life pods into the yard, preparing to send them back to the arsenal - the undamaged life pods could be recycled and reused.

Ruan Shiqing paused and stared at the lifeboat: "Is there only one?"

Xiong Yuanyuan scratched her head and nodded in confusion: "Just one, is there any problem?"

"Nothing." Ruan Shiqing shook his head, frowned his handsome eyebrows, and revealed a thoughtful expression.

He always felt that something was not right.

This feeling of uneasiness became stronger when I saw Snowball.

Taking Snowball from Dares's arms, Ruan Shiqing touched the cub's furry head, which felt very nice to the touch, and smiled at Dares, "Thank you for your hard work. I always trouble you to bring Snowball to me."

Dares waved his hands repeatedly and said it was not hard.

But she couldn't help but glance at Rong Heng intently.

If we talk about hard work, it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who has the hardest time.

He looked exhausted.

Rong Heng nestled in Ruan Shiqing's arms. He couldn't help but rub his head against his arm and groaned softly.

He narrowed his eyes in pleasure.

He clearly regretted not being honest with Ruan Shiqing in the beginning because he was concerned about his reputation, but now he was held in the other person's arms, smelling the other person's familiar scent, feeling the other person's body temperature, and the gentle touch.

He couldn't help but indulge again.

This feels so good.

He can get close to others without any scruples and is not afraid of causing disgust.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was secretly delighted, but at the same time he couldn't help but blame himself.

He squinted his eyes and sniffed the other person's breath, thinking to himself, just for a while, just delay a little longer.

Even the fearless Crown Prince has moments of lack of courage and hesitation.

Snowball's return was warmly welcomed by the cubs.

The little dragon and the little fox had already jumped on Snowball and rolled around with him. Ruan Jiao, watching from the side with his head tilted, his tentacles wagging, joined in the fun.

Only the little mermaid sat in the stroller, her chin resting on her palm, looking at Snowball who was surrounded by the other cubs. She blinked her sapphire eyes and gave him a knowing smile.

Ruan Shiqing watched the cubs playing, and the wrinkles between his brows became more serious.

He finally realized what was wrong.

The situation between Snowball and the cubs was exactly the same as the situation between Mr. Rong and the cubs.

And... he realized belatedly that Snowball and Mr. Rong seemed to have never appeared at the same time.
