After the wedding, Bai Li was exhausted.
As soon as he stepped into the lounge, he took off his coat and threw it aside, then jumped forward and fell directly into the sofa in the lounge.
Lu Zhao walked in later. He was also exhausted and had no strength to drag Bai Li off the sofa. He had to pull a chair over and sit down, loosening his tie.
He felt Bai Li looking at him just after loosening it twice, but Lu Zhao ignored him and continued his actions.
But Bai Li is not the kind of person who will not talk if you ignore him. Bai Li said, "Xianhua, you look so cool when you loosen your tie."
Lu Zhao glanced at her and said lightly, "There's no one else here now, you don't have to continue like this."
"You don't understand me, I never hesitate to praise my partner," Bai Li turned over, lying on his back on the sofa, waving his hands leisurely, "Even if there is no love between us, you are still worthy of praise."
Lu Zhao opened his personal terminal in silence. Because of work reasons, he didn't often visit the Empire Forum, especially the entertainment section. During this period of time, he also understood how heated the discussion of his and Bai Li's marriage was in the Empire, but due to his delicate personal mood, Lu Zhao never opened the forum.
During the period of preparing for the wedding, apart from meeting his legal partner Bai Li, whom he had never met before and becoming familiar with each other, he spent all day in the personal dormitory assigned to him by the army, or went to the training room to kill time.
Even though the curious and eager eyes of his comrades around him were about to swallow him up, he did not reveal a single word about his marriage. As
soon as Lu Zhao opened the entertainment section of the Empire Forum, the post of his and Bai Li's wedding photos was at the top, with an astonishing popularity. Since the announcement of his and Bai Li's marriage, no entertainment star has been able to overshadow them. The fact that Bai Li's personal information was dug out has suppressed the gossip of several small stars.
Lu Zhao was overwhelmed by the discussion on the forum. He flipped through a few posts and soon found that Bai Li's personal information had been exposed. He followed the link and found Bai Li's personal blog, where he had already been scolded several times. Now everyone has recognized the reality and has calmed down a bit.
His eyes paused on the words "concrete", "waste" and "disabled young man" and closed the webpage.
Lu Zhao rubbed his sore forehead, hesitated for a while, and said: "On the forum... I didn't expect it to be like this."
He really didn't expect it.
After all, his life was only about work and necessary rest. Before this, Lu Zhao had never cared about these public opinions.
Without hearing Bai Li's answer, Lu Zhao thought that he was in a bad mood, and pursed his lips: "I will find a way to compensate you."
As soon as the voice fell, he heard Bai Li's "Ah", which almost made Lu Zhao jump up.
He looked up and saw Bai Li playing a simulated Star Wars game with a personal terminal. A gold medal was shining on the light screen in the air, and fireworks were still being set off in the background.
Lu Zhao: "..."
Bai Li got up from the sofa excitedly and put one hand on Lu Zhao's shoulder: "Look, brother, I just beat the ranking player, I'm so awesome!"
Lu Zhao: "Yeah, you're so awesome."
He twisted Bai Li's wrist and made him scream: "Ahhhh, let go!"
Lu Zhao didn't let go and twisted his wrist, twisting the facial features of the 1.9-meter-tall A. He repeated again: "I will compensate you."
"Are you compensating me?" Bai Li was at a loss for words. "Why would you compensate me?"
Lu Zhao looked at him and said, "I'll compensate you for marrying me."
His eyes were calm and serious, so Bai Li had no choice but to say, "Okay, okay, can you let go first?"
This time Lu Zhao let go of his hand, and Bai Li quickly grabbed his wrist and saw several red marks on it. He felt so distressed that he blew on it twice before continuing, "Okay, Xianhua, how do you want to compensate me?" Lu Zhao
was stumped by the question and sat in a chair in deep thought.
He felt that he owed Bai Li something, and no one outside knew about this debt, but he and Bai Li knew it very well. Lu Zhao actually didn't expect that Bai Li would agree to marry him at that time.
"I have no shortage of money, and as for my status," Bai Li patted his left leg, "it's good enough."
Lu Zhao's eyes followed his patting action and stopped on Bai Li's left leg. He had heard about Bai Li's serious injury in the past, but he didn't know much, so he couldn't help but ask: "Your leg, can't it be completely restored?"
"Can't you ask more tactfully?" Bai Li covered his chest, looking like he was hurt.
Lu Zhao paused: "Sorry, I'm not very good at speaking."
Bai Li patted his leg again: "This leg is fine for walking, but it's impossible to do delicate work like driving a mecha."
Lu Zhao felt a little regretful, but due to his personality, he couldn't think of how to comfort him.
Before he could sort out the problem, Bai Li's personal computer sounded a notification sound. Someone in the game requested a match. He rolled up his sleeves happily and started a new round of simulated star wars.
Lu Zhao: "...You are really amazing." He had never seen a person like Bai Li who didn't take his illness seriously.
There were several knocks on the door, and Huo Cun pushed the door open and said, "Major General, the marshal asked me to ask if you and Mr. Bai Li would like to meet the reporter from the Imperial News Agency?"
Lu Zhao's name was too famous, so there were a lot of troubles.
He was not very good at dealing with things other than work, and hesitated for a moment: "Must I go?"
"Ah?" Huo Cun was stunned by the question, and said stupidly, "I don't know, the marshal asked me to ask, so I asked."
Bai Li raised his head when he heard the movement, and saw the two legion elites looking at each other, and couldn't help laughing: "What's there to be entangled about? If you want to go, go, if you don't want to go, don't go."
Lu Zhao looked at him: "Not so good."
"Hey, I didn't realize you were happy to deal with those reporters." Bai Li was quite surprised. "I'm really annoyed. They ask a lot of questions and always try to get me into trouble."
Bai Li has some of the military ruffian spirit from his early years. It's okay when he pretends, but sometimes it shows up when he gets too proud. Sometimes he speaks with the roughness he developed when he was young in the military. He is always ridiculed by gossip tabloids, which makes him lose face in the aristocratic circle.
But Lu Zhao doesn't mind. He and Bai Li didn't have much contact before, but when they really get along, they find that there is no resistance and they are quite comfortable. Seeing Bai Li speaking so bluntly, Lu Zhao's frown relaxed a little, and he held back his laughter: "You've been taken in many times, too."
They both recalled the messy news about Bai Li in the past. Bai Li snorted and cursed with a smile.
"The status of a major general is a bit...delicate," Huo Cun said after careful consideration, "There are always people who want to find something to talk about."
After all, it was nothing more than exploring how an omega with no family background climbed to the position of major general.
Bai Li glanced at Lu Zhao, who had no expression on his face, obviously used to it. Bai Li asked while operating the game: "Then do you want to go?"
Lu Zhao thought Bai Li was very interesting. This was the second time he asked for his opinion tonight. Lu Zhao answered directly: "No."
Bai Li said to Huo Cun, "Did the Marshal tell us where the reporters are?"
"The main entrance."
"Okay," Bai Li closed the game he was playing, stood up and grabbed his coat, "Ask someone to park your major general's suspension car at the back door, and tell the reporters at the main entrance that my old injury has recurred, my leg hurts, and I'm rolling on the ground in pain, and your major general took me to the hospital."
Lu Zhao and Huo Cun didn't react.
Huo Cun hesitated: "Is this okay?" Your leg has been injured for many years, and it hurts again now?
"Nonsense, Lu Zhao is married now, not a bachelor anymore, his legal wife can go wherever she wants with him, whenever she wants, don't you understand that you should follow your husband?" Bai Li said righteously, as if he really had the demeanor of a head of the family.
Huo Cun held it in for a long time: "No, I'm just afraid that they will make a fuss about omegas obeying alphas after marriage, as if a major general becomes a wimp after marriage."
Bai Li was very disappointed: "So I won't say anything. It was Lu Zhao who took me to the hospital. If you say so, they can make up a bunch of stories themselves. I guarantee that the forum will be full of discussions tomorrow about how Omegas can hold up half the sky."
Huo Cun called him an expert and ran away in a flash. Even Lu Zhao couldn't stop him.
"You don't have to be like this," Lu Zhao frowned, "I told you last time we met, you just need to marry me, and I will take care of the rest."
Bai Li waved his hands: "Forget it, I don't want to deal with that group of people." Seeing that Lu Zhao was still entangled, he said, "You still have to stay in the military. Even if you don't mind this kind of mess, you should try to avoid it. I'm different. I don't feel itchy
even if I have too many lice." Looking at his arrogance, people who didn't know would think that Bai Li had taken advantage of him. Lu Zhao's mouth relaxed and he smiled: "Okay, thank you. But I will compensate--"
"You will compensate me." Bai Li immediately interjected, "I've said it several times, it's like I've lost my virginity." He opened the door of the lounge, "Come on, Xianhua, let's drive back first, and then we'll talk about compensation or not."
Lu Zhao nodded, and the two walked out of the lounge together and headed straight for the suspended car parked at the back door.
In order to avoid attracting attention, Bai Li's luxurious suspended sports car was parked at the front door as a cover, and the two took Lu Zhao's relatively low-profile public suspended car to a property of the Bai family in the main urban area.
Lu Zhao was responsible for driving the car, and Bai Li sat in the co-pilot seat, replying to posts on the forum and making trouble.
His personal terminal kept ringing with new message notifications. Lu Zhao glanced at the screen and saw Bai Li provoking in the forum in a very provocative tone. The content was too arrogant, so Lu Zhao stopped reading.
While driving, he was thinking about how to compensate Bai Li.
The car stopped at the bottom of the newly built apartment building. As soon as Lu Zhao got out of the car, an apartment housekeeper-type robot took over the car and parked it in the garage for him. Lu Zhao took a box of nutrient solution from the back seat and went upstairs with Bai Li.
"Nutrient solution?" Bai Li glanced at the box in Lu Zhao's hand in the elevator, "Repair type, are you injured?"
Lu Zhao was a little surprised: "You know this?" This is a new type that has just been developed in the legion not long ago.
"I've had all kinds of restorative drinks over the years." Bai Li said lazily.
Lu Zhao thought of his legs.
They soon arrived at the floor they were going to. This floor was bought by Bai Li. There was no furniture and the space was very open. Outside the huge French windows was the night sky and lights. Even if the lights were not turned on indoors, the lights outside would be enough for people to move freely.
Lu Zhao stood in this room on a high-rise apartment and looked out, and once again realized that he was standing in the heart of the imperial capital.
"Where are you hurt?" Bai Li waved his hand, and the lights in the room came on. "I have some other types of nutrient solution here, see if you can use it."
Lu Zhao took off his white suit jacket, watched Bai Li casually take out a few bottles of nutrient solution from the refrigerator, and finally said: "The last time we met was too short, and there are some things we haven't discussed clearly."
Bai Li looked up at him: "I thought we had said almost everything, I won't interfere with you and you won't interfere with me, I support you 100% to continue working."
Lu Zhao didn't say anything, he stood in front of the French window and looked out, the brilliant lights of the empire made his expression a little blurry.
I guess he wouldn't have any expression, Bai Li thought. He didn't mind Lu Zhaohui not answering. He took out a few boxes of nutrient solution from the thermostat, and continued while checking the model number: "Are you more worried that I can't control myself when I'm alone? Be more confident. You have to believe that you can pin me to the ground and beat me up."
Lu Zhao didn't expect to hear such words from an alpha of the Empire in his lifetime. It was really amazing. He was completely sober from his own contemplation. He didn't know why the Jing'er he had finally mentioned leaked out.
"I'm not worried." Lu Zhao replied. He walked towards Bai Li from the floor-to-ceiling window and took the nutrient solution that the other had placed on the table. "It's quite complete."
"These are all repair types. Some of them developed by the Imperial Research Institute are pretty effective." Bai Li pulled out a few at random. "It's just that the taste is not that good. It's so expensive and so unpalatable. It's really acrid."
Lu Zhao asked, "Does it work for your legs?" He felt like he had said something wrong after asking. If it had worked, Bai Li wouldn't be like this today. Lu Zhao pursed his lips, "Sorry."
Bai Li waved his hands to show that he didn't care: "These few shots are effective in relieving pain. Oh, by the way, where are you injured?"
Perhaps because Bai Li's attitude was very casual, Lu Zhao also relaxed, and he opened his personal terminal: "It's troublesome to explain, I'll send you a copy of the medical examination report."
"Okay." Bai Li also opened his personal terminal.
After a few seconds, Bai Li suddenly said: "Well, flowers."
Lu Zhao buried his head in looking for his medical examination report: "Huh?"
Bai Li cleared his throat: "Have we added the communication number?"
Lu Zhao was stunned, thought about it, and couldn't help but "Fuck": "I really didn't add it, I forgot."
This couple who got married didn't even add the communication number until now.
Bai Li couldn't help laughing. Lu Zhao also felt that this matter was confusing. He didn't even feel nervous about getting married until now. He and Bai Li became legal partners inexplicably, and then they started exchanging phone numbers on the wedding night, which was later than exchanging rings.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhao finally couldn't help but laughed softly.
His laugh was very light, and when his lips raised, the coldness on his face was swept away. When Lu Zhao laughed, he looked gentle and focused, as if he was immersed in a happy mood instead of just floating on the surface.
Bai Li's eyes stayed on Lu Zhao's face for a long time before he was interrupted by the notification sound of Lu Zhao's communication request. He didn't care about his own life, leaned forward a little, and got closer to Lu Zhao: "Major General, there is something I want you to consider."
Lu Zhao was not disgusted by Bai Li's approach, nor was he timid like other omegas when facing unfamiliar alphas. He raised his eyes calmly and looked at Bai Li: "What?"
"If you don't want to use inhibitors one day, consider letting me be the alpha marked for you." Bai Li's voice was very low, with an ambiguous hoarse ending.
Lu Zhao looked at him, spread his five fingers on Bai Li's big face, and pushed him away: "Just say what you want to say, why are you pretending."
Bai Li: "..."
You are really good.
