In the meeting hall of the imperial palace, a group of military ministers were discussing a bill. They argued for the whole morning, and finally Emperor Chengfa waved his hand and said, "I have heard all your opinions. Let's leave it at that. We will come to a conclusion this afternoon."
Everyone else respectfully left, only a few trusted ministers stayed.
In the past, after each meeting, Emperor Chengfa would keep them to discuss for a while, so this time it was natural for him to sit at the long table and not stand up.
Emperor Chengfa stood up, and while holding out his hand for the attendant to put on his coat, he asked curiously, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
The confidants looked at each other, then said, "Oh, let's go right away."
Emperor Chengfa put on his coat and, accompanied by Uncle Chen and several guards, walked towards the villa where he lived. He asked Uncle Chen, "Has Gu Fan arrived yet?"
"We're here. We'll have dinner after you get home." Uncle Chen had a happy smile on his face.
Emperor Chengfa glanced at him and asked casually, "Is he the only one?"
Uncle Chen replied: "Two people..."
"Hmm..." Emperor Chengfa simply responded, and no emotion could be heard from his expression.
Lan Yu sat on the wide sofa, her fitted suit outlining her perfect figure. Opposite her were Gu Jun and his fiancée Qin Qin.
Lu Rankong was there just now, and when Gu Jun started talking about a wood carving from his childhood, he insisted on going upstairs to take it down to show Lan Yu. Now there are only three people left in the living room.
"The meeting should be over soon. Father's wound has just healed. I'll go pick him up." Gu Jun stood up and said to Qin Qin, "You can chat with Xiaoyu."
"Okay..." Qin Qin said.
Qin Qin is the typical aristocratic omega lady, who is tactful and noble, but she is not easy to get close to.
After the living room returned to silence, Lan Yu felt that she should say something. Otherwise, the two of them would just sit facing each other in silence, which would become more and more awkward.
"I've heard of you..." Qin Qin spoke first.
Lan Yu was stunned for a moment and looked at Qin Qin, and found that her eyes were shining, her fists were half-clenched on her knees, and her upper body was slightly leaning forward.
"I never thought you were an omega. I'm so, so, so excited. I don't know how to put it. I'm so excited." Qin Qin was a little incoherent. "You've captured so many Longte people. I can actually, I can actually sit in front of you and talk to you."
After Lu Rankong and Lan Yu dealt with Evelyn, they returned to Zata Star. They only told their family about Lan Yu through the terminal and revealed his omega identity.
Emperor Chengfa didn't say anything at the time, but Lan Yu's retirement application was approved on the same day.
Liu Deng generously gave Lu Rankong half a month's vacation, allowing him to accompany Lan Yu to travel around and enjoy the leisure time after retirement.
After resting for a few days, the two set out for Sasu Star to meet Lu Rankong's family.
"Ah, I actually..." Lan Yu was about to say something polite when she heard footsteps coming from the door and quickly stopped talking.
Lu Rankong was just coming down the stairs, looking at the door and calling out, "Father..."
Lan Yu and Qin Qin both stood up from the sofa.
Lan Yu felt nervous when thinking about meeting Emperor Chengfa soon. Only Qin Qin, although facing the gate, still looked at him straight.
Emperor Chengfa walked in, followed by Gu Jun and Chen Bo, and the guards stayed at the gate of the villa.
"Your Majesty..." Qin Qin finally adjusted his gaze and greeted him respectfully.
Although Lan Yu was in casual clothes and had already retired, he still leaned his feet together and saluted.
Cheng Fadi pointed to the table where the food was already being served and said, "Eat, eat. I'm hungry. Those people are arguing non-stop."
"Eat, eat..." Uncle Chen also urged.
The dishes were served on the table, Emperor Chengfa sat down in the main seat, and Uncle Chen stuffed two cushions behind him.
"Your Majesty hasn't recovered from his injury yet, and you've been busy all morning." Uncle Chen muttered.
Cheng Fadi said helplessly: "I am already well. If I were not feeling well, I would not force myself to go."
"Yes, yes, you are right." Uncle Chen looked disbelieving.
Lan Yu and the other three sat down on both sides of the table. Gu Jun also said, "Father, please rest for a few more days. If you have anything to do, just let me do it."
"You keep saying you're busy all day long, but there are obviously some things that you can leave to big brother to do." Lu Rankong said stiffly with his eyelids drooping.
Cheng Fadi was in a good mood and shook his head, saying, "As you wish, I will rest for a few more days and let Gu Jun deal with those old guys."
"Okay, father, don't worry." Gu Jun replied.
Lu Rankong cleared his throat, took Lan Yu's hand, and said loudly: "Let me formally introduce you. This is my omega. His military name is K, but his actual name is Shu Yu. You can call him Lan Yu or Xiao Yu."
When they heard so many names, everyone else was stunned. Cheng Fadi did not react abnormally. He just picked up his chopsticks and said naturally: "Eat, eat. Don't let the food get cold. Xiaoyu, Qin Qin, you two should eat more."
The servant brought up another dish, steaming hot. Gu Jun smiled and said, "This is good. It's the Jicha mushroom from Pule Star. It's fresh and fragrant, and very rare. You can only pick one or two on very high cliffs."
Lan Yu went to look at the plate. Inside was a group of mushrooms that looked like small umbrella caps, fresh and white, surrounded by a few broccoli flowers, alternating between green and white, which made one's mouth water.
"Xiao Yu, this is your first time to eat at home. There are no rules at home. You don't need to be served food. Just like ordinary people, you can take whatever you like." After Cheng Fadi finished speaking, he stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a shiitake mushroom.
"Yes..." Lan Yu replied respectfully.
Lu Rankong also reached out to the plate and picked up a flower, placing it in Lan Yu's fine white porcelain rice bowl, and urged, "Try it quickly, it's delicious."
Lan Yu picked up the mushroom and took a bite, her eyes lit up. The taste of this Jicha mushroom is indeed delicious and smooth, better than any other mushroom he has tasted before.
Everyone else picked up a flower and started eating. Lu Rankong finished his own in two or three bites and asked Lan Yu, "Is it delicious?"
"Hmm, delicious." Lan Yu nodded frantically.
As soon as he finished speaking, four pairs of chopsticks reached out to the pile of Jicha mushrooms at the same time.
Lu Rankong picked another one and put it in his bowl, saying, "If you like it, eat some more."
Qin Qin, who had been secretly eyeing Lan Yu while eating, also picked up one, stood up and put it in Lan Yu's bowl.
Emperor Chengfa placed the flower he had picked up on a clean plate beside him, then turned around and called a servant not far away: "Bring it to Xiaoyu..."
Only after Gu Jun fiddled with the plate for a few times did he find that there was not a single broccoli left. He had no choice but to pick up the broccoli with chopsticks and put it in his mouth to chew.
After the meal, Lu Rankong wanted to take Lan Yu for a walk. Cheng Fadi walked on the stairs, turned his back to them and said, "Xiaoyu, come to my study for a moment."
"Yes..." Lan Yu replied.
He didn't know what Emperor Chengfa wanted to talk to him about alone, and was a little nervous. He looked at Lu Rankong beside him for help.
Lu Rankong squeezed his palm and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Don't be afraid, it's just something like let's live a good life, go and listen."
Lan Yu went upstairs and looked down at Lu Rankong again on the stairs.
Lu Rankong grinned at him and pressed his hands down in a calming gesture.
Lan Yu looked at him hatefully.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Lu Rankong pulled up his trouser legs, revealing a part of his calves, and mouthed to Lan Yu: "I'll let you pull my hair..."
Lan Yu stood at the heavy door of the study, took a breath, and reached out to knock.
"Come in..." Emperor Chengfa's voice sounded.
Lan Yu pushed open the door, "Your Majesty..."
"Come in and close the door."
Emperor Chengfa stood with his back to the door, holding a cup of hot tea and looking outside in front of the large French window. Lan Yu didn't dare to say anything and just stood in the middle of the room without moving.
"Both of my children are excellent. Xiaojun is good at handling government affairs, and he likes it very much. I think if he becomes emperor, he will do a better job than me in balancing family and state affairs. Xiaofan has a passionate personality and doesn't like to be constrained. In the future, he can do whatever he wants, and I won't interfere."
"Xiao Fan looks like a carefree child, but he is actually very delicate, affectionate and kind-hearted." Cheng Fadi paused for a few seconds and said, "Just like his mother."
Lan Yu listened carefully, even her breathing became very soft.
"When his mother and I met and fell in love, I was just a prince. At that time, I had a lot of time to accompany her and take care of her. We were very happy together."
Cheng Fadi stood facing the window for a while and then said, "But now that I am in this position, I am not only her alpha, but also the father of Xiaofan and Xiaojun. I also have so many heavy responsibilities and obligations. I have made her sad and disappointed..."
"She left behind a lot of daily notes after she passed away, and I saw you in them."
"Did you see me?" Lan Yu couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"The weather is very good today. Xiaofan's friend Shuyu came to play with him. He is a lovely child, a beautiful omega. He gave me a small sachet I made myself and a bunch of wild flowers he picked on the road. I thought, it would be great if Chengfa and I could have another little omega like this. I watched him chasing Xiaofan on the beach, and my heart was filled with joy..."
Emperor Chengfa recited a passage of miscellaneous notes fluently in a hoarse voice.
Lan Yu looked at the tall but sad back, and his heart trembled slightly. He wondered how many times he had to read it over and over again to remember his wife's miscellaneous notes so well.
"She used to write miscellaneous notes every day, recording all kinds of interesting things in her life. She wrote several large books. But later on, the content became disjointed and chaotic. I just thought she was in a bad mood at the time, but I didn't know the reason until now."
Emperor Chengfa raised the back of his hand and lowered his head, as if wiping away a tear.
"I hope Xiaofan can live freely with the people he loves, just as his mother wished before she died, without any burdens in life."
After a moment, he turned around and looked at Lan Yu. There was no trace of blood left on his face. He was still dignified, but there was a hint of red in his eyes.
"Xiaoyu, live a good life with Xiaofan in the future. This is the greatest hope that his mother and I have for you."
Lu Rankong was waiting at the bottom of the stairs, scratching his head while looking up.
Gu Jun handed the peeled orange to Qin Qin and sneered, "Look at you, what are you worried about? Can your father eat him?"
Lu Rankong looked at Qin Qin and asked, "Sister Qin, did father talk to you at the beginning?"
Qin Qin swallowed a slice of orange and shook her head, "No, I'm very good."
"Oh..." Lu Rankong just said "oh" and then reacted, "What do you mean by you are very obedient? Our Xiaoyu is not obedient?"
"What attitude? What's your attitude? How can you talk to your sister-in-law like this? It's unruly..." Gu Jun deliberately scolded with a stern face, handed Qin Qin a piece of paper, and said softly: "Wipe your hands, don't get them stained with orange juice."
Lu Ran gave Gu Jun a blank look and said to Qin Qin, "Don't think that Big Brother is so good to you. That's fake. He didn't even remove the white veins when he peeled the orange for you."
Gu Jun asked in surprise: "Do we have to tear off this white vein too?"
"Listen, do you want to tear off the white veins too? It's too fake..." Lu Rankong fanned the flames, "Xiaoyu wants to eat oranges, and I have already torn off all the white veins on them."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the door opening from the study upstairs.
Lu Rankong quickly said to Gu Jun who stood up and rolled up his sleeves: "Let's do it another day. Xiaoyu is out, I have to go ask her."
He walked up the stairs in two or three steps and met Lan Yu who had just closed the door of the study.
Just when I was about to ask him quietly how he was, I saw Lan Yu turn around with red eyes.
Lu Rankong's smile slowly faded, and he asked in a rough voice, "Did he teach you a lesson?"
"No..." Lan Yu sniffed.
"No? Did you scream even though you were crying? I have to go ask him..."
Lan Yu grabbed Lu Rankong and said, "Really? Go back to your room. I have something to tell you."
Lu Rankong lowered his head to observe his expression, did not refute, and led the person towards the room.
As soon as they entered the room and closed the door, Lan Yu hugged Lu Rankong's waist and buried her face in his shoulder.
Lu Rankong leaned against the door, put one arm around Lan Yu's shoulders and the other hand on the back of his neck, gently stroking the skin on the side of his neck with his thumb.
"What's wrong? Have you been wronged?" he asked softly.
Lan Yu's voice was still a little muffled: "Xiao Fan, you know, I don't have any parents."
When Lu Rankong heard this, he stopped what he was doing and said in a gentler voice, "Yes, I know."
"I've always envied those children who have parents." Lan Yu raised her head and looked at Lu Rankong with sparkling eyes: "Your father loves you very much, especially. I envy you very much."
Lu Rankong swallowed, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and said, "I know..."
"He loves your mother, too." Lan Yu raised her hand and stroked Lu Rankong's hair, saying softly, "Reconcile with your father, reconcile from the heart."
After a while, Lu Rankong buried his face in his soft hair and nodded gently.
Three years later…
The ship parking area in the main city of Sasu.
It is now eight o'clock in the evening. There are many reporters waiting in the hall outside the apron, with their long-barreled and short-barreled guns pointing at the exit of the ship.
At today's largest Interstellar Film Festival awards ceremony, a new actor who had never been heard of, with only a few shots in a movie, actually won the Best Supporting Actor and Best Newcomer awards, shocking countless people and driving the media crazy.
"He has mature acting skills and can portray characters vividly, which makes many veteran actors who claim to have good acting skills unable to catch up. But... he is indeed a newcomer." This is the comment made by one of the most venomous film critics.
"His facial features are very suitable for the big screen, very perfect, impeccable." The best actress, who never compliments others' appearance, shrugged into the microphone and rarely praised the newcomer.
The information of this newcomer is very mysterious. Even the most skilled reporters could not dig up any information about his past experience. When interviewed, he just smiled and did not give a direct answer.
The more mysterious it is, the more speculation and rumors there are.
Some people said that he looked very much like Colonel K, especially some retired veterans, who insisted that he was their former Colonel K.
Of course, no one would believe it.
They just look alike.
What's even funnier is that when a prison showed a movie, some prisoners stood up to claim the newcomer, saying that they had served time in that prison before.
Just listen to these rumors.
After all, even confinement centers have come out, and a childcare worker said that the child was his colleague and they had taken care of the child together.
However, this newcomer surprised everyone. When asked if he was going to take on some good dramas and play the leading role after winning the award, he actually said that he was just acting in this movie out of temporary interest and would take a break until he wanted to continue filming.
So willful?
Reporters gathered here, waiting for the newly-crowned best newcomer to come out on the tarmac. Because according to the itinerary accidentally leaked by the staff, he would take the current starship back to the main star of Sasu at this time.
While the reporters were waiting anxiously, they didn't expect that the best newcomer had already left the apron through other channels.
Before Lan Yu had time to change her clothes, she walked out of the apron wearing a dress and dragging her suitcase through the empty military passage.
He pressed the car key in the direction of the parking lot, and a streamlined limited edition luxury coupe flashed its lights.
He put the suitcase away, got into the driver's seat, took off his suit and threw it on the back seat, then picked up a paper bag, took out the black windbreaker from it, and put it on.
He brushed the hair that had been sprayed with styling spray and kept it neat. A few strands hung on his forehead, revealing a bit of wildness in his handsomeness. The high bridge of his nose cast a shadow on his face, and he wore a pair of black sunglasses on top.
Beep, beep.
The terminal rang.
When Lan Yu saw the number, a smile appeared on her lips and she pressed the answer button.
Lu Rankong's voice immediately rang out: "Baby, are you there yet? I can't pick you up today."
"We're here..." Lan Yu said.
"I was lying in ambush in the bandit's lair this afternoon. I quietly opened the terminal, turned off the sound and watched the award ceremony. You are so charming that I was excited watching you..." Lu Rankong's low and hoarse voice came over.
"Be careful, why are you looking at the terminal when going on a mission?" Lan Yu's heart suddenly rose.
Lu Rankong quickly said: "It's okay, there were other soldiers there at the time, and I was in command."
Lan Yu started the car and asked, "Have you found out who the leader is?"
"Not yet, but I just found a clue unexpectedly, which may be related to the previous attack on the Dikunxing military camp." Lu Rankong replied.
"Where are you now?"
"I'm eating something at the fast food restaurant on Yunlu Street, honey. I've been so busy today that I'm only having dinner now." Lu Rankong's tone sounded a bit like he was acting coquettish.
"Then I'll pick you up..."
Lan Yu turned the car onto the main road, rolled down the window, and let the cool evening breeze blow her hair up, revealing her full forehead.
"Where's Xiaoxiao? Is she still with grandpa?"
Gu Ningxiao is his and Lu Rankong's son, an energetic alpha baby who is a few months away from turning two years old.
Lu Rankong sighed, "He woke up as soon as you left yesterday, crying and asking for his mom. No matter what I did, I couldn't comfort him. This little thing tormented me for a long time."
Lan Yu glanced at the photo hanging in front of the car, which showed their family of three smiling.
His expression softened, and he asked, "When was it sent to the palace?"
"This morning, as soon as we received a call from Liu Deng, the guards who were there to pick up the child came over." Lu Rankong replied.
After they got married, they lived on Zata Star and only left after Lan Yu became pregnant. Because Lu Rankong was worried about the medical level on Zata Star, he simply returned to Sasu Star.
He originally wanted to transfer to the military department of Sasu Star, but Liu Deng refused to let him go, so he had to keep his position on Zata Star. However, when encountering tasks involving Sasu Star, Lu Rankong would be in charge.
Lan Yu, a retired former garrison officer of Zata Star, was inexplicably hired as a consultant by Liu Deng.
Over the past two years, Lan Yu suddenly discovered that she, a temporary consultant, had actually undertaken many missions with Lu Rankong.
"Liu Deng, this cunning old fox." Lan Yu gritted his teeth.
However, his mission is not mandatory, but is chosen by himself. He would only go there when something difficult happened and he was worried about Lu Rankong being alone.
Generally speaking, it's a leisurely time, and I can also play a supporting role to satisfy my acting craving.
Emperor Chengfa never said that he wanted to see the child, but as soon as Liu Deng issued a task, the guards would come and carry Gu Ningxiao to the palace.
The reason was that they couldn't let the child interfere with their work, so he had to reluctantly help take care of the child.
Later on, Liu Deng would report to Emperor Chengfa in advance. Before Lu Rankong received the task, the guards had already arrived.
"Xiaoxiao seems to have diarrhea." Lu Rankong mumbled while eating.
"What's going on?" Lan Yu felt nervous.
Lu Rankong said, "He drank ice water secretly and cooled his stomach, but he only had diarrhea once. I gave him some medicine and he's fine now. I just asked my father and he said he hasn't had diarrhea since then. The two of them are riding horses now. Don't worry, he's in good health."
“What does poop look like?”
Lu Rankong said: "Just like the meat sauce on the bowl of noodles I'm eating now, the color and consistency are the same."
Lan Yu: ...
Lu Rankong snorted twice again, and suddenly said loudly: "We have news about the leader."
"I'll be at your fast food restaurant soon. Wait."
In a private room of an entertainment venue in the East District, a burly man with a fierce face was plotting with several of his men when the door of the room was suddenly kicked open.
Several people looked in astonishment and saw two men in black windbreakers standing at the door.
One of them was tall and handsome, the other was tall, strong, handsome and fierce, both holding an ion gun in their hands.
The handsome one raised his chin arrogantly, his eyes were cold and without a trace of emotion. When his dark eyes swept across the room, everyone present began to feel a chill in their hearts.
"Advisor K of the Third Force of the Empire stationed on Star Tower, orders you to raise your hands and cooperate with the inspection."
