Since this was Mrs. Tang's birthday party, Master Bai's hand still didn't slam the person's head to the ground like he did before.

He patted Mr. Gao's sleek hair, and the hearts of the noble ladies and masters who had not yet dispersed around him instantly rose to their throats.

Gao Ye felt a dull pain in his scalp almost at the same time, and he raised his hand to pull Bai Li's hand, but was caught by Bai Li's wrist halfway.

"Look," Bai Li pressed Gao Ye's hand. His pheromones were not released much, and in this small range, it was so strong that Mr. Gao, an alpha of a low level, could hardly move. "Young comrade is easily impulsive."

He said, and pressed Gao Ye's hand on Mr. Gao's head.

The three of them stood very close to each other. When the pheromone was strong enough, Gao Ye could no longer smell the pheromone. He could only feel Bai Li's silent threat.

Gao Ye had lost to Bai Li once. The pain from the last time had not faded from his memory. He was hit by this brutal pheromone. Even if he released pheromones to hedge immediately, his guilt and fear still put him at a disadvantage.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Bai Li's pheromone was more fierce and cruel than before, with a hint of violence.

The hedge of two alpha pheromones that were higher than his level made Mr. Gao immediately feel the difference in talent. Cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead. He cursed a hundred and eighty times in his heart, but his body was very honest and motionless.

There were two hands on his head, one was his son's, the other was pressing his son's, but still holding Mr. Gao down.

"Did you find it?" Bai Li's voice was very faint, with a little bit of relaxation after drinking, and it reached Gao Ye and Mr. Gao's ears, "It looks exactly like your head, even thinking the same thing."

Gao Ye squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Don't go too far, Bai Li."

But Bai Li didn't even look at him, just took Gao Ye's hand and ruffled Mr. Gao's neatly combed hair. Bai Li smiled: "You have a good head, why do you only think about other people's affairs?"

In the original novel, Lu Zhao's infertility due to injury was never mentioned from beginning to end. The text only said that Lu Zhao was left with lifelong injuries in a battle, which also caused a certain blow to his career, but he gradually came out of the haze after meeting Tang Kaiyuan.

Until the end of the whole text, Tang Kaiyuan's harem basically gave birth to children, except Lu Zhao.

In the understanding of all readers, Lu Zhao's life is divided into before and after meeting Tang Kaiyuan. Before he appeared, Lu Zhao's life was only about mecha and training. After he appeared, Lu Zhao made a place for him.

Many readers, including Bai Li, believe that Lu Zhao is a perfect circle. He devotes all his energy to his favorite things and devotes all his passion to mecha and the universe without any hesitation. He is even a little bit unlike a normal person. Tang Kaiyuan pulled him to the ground. He has feelings and has always had ideals, so it seems understandable that he is the only omega without children. Everyone thinks he doesn't need it.

Until he really got to know Lu Zhao, Bai Li never thought that maybe Lu Zhao didn't have the opportunity to think about whether he needed it.

Lu Zhao has never been a perfect circle, but this should not be his weakness.

No one can use these injuries as an excuse to attack him.

Bai Li looked at Mr. Gao's head and Gao Ye's hand that he was pressing on. The emotions in his eyes were dark and unclear, and there was an inexplicable force rushing back and forth in his chest. He unconsciously clenched his five fingers.

The smell of pheromones in the air became thicker. At first, Gao Ye's pheromones could barely offset Bai Li's, but as Bai Li remained silent, Gao Ye felt that the powerful pheromones like a giant beast almost swallowed him up suddenly. The provocative and threatening meaning wrapped around him suddenly disintegrated, revealing the true emotions inside that could not be hidden.

Bai Li wanted to see blood.

As soon as this thought came into his mind, the nerves in Bai Li's brain almost quickly stretched into a line, and the alpha blood in the blood vessels rushed and roared, rushing straight into the brain.

Lu Zhao's low voice rang in his ears: "Bai Li."

A hand grabbed his arm.

Bai Li came to his senses and found that Lu Zhao was standing beside him, reaching out to grab his arm, but his eyes were looking at Bai Li.

"Bai Li," Lu Zhao said again in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "You have to let go."

The anger and irritability that surged in his chest eased slightly with this calm reminder. Bai Li felt that he was still holding something in his hand. At a glance, Gao Ye's hand was almost deformed by his pinching, and it also tore Mr. Gao's hair.

Looking around, several nobles and businessmen including Zhou Yue within a radius of two meters all showed some painful expressions. Bai Li's pheromones were too heavy, and they just suddenly spread, just like a hand suddenly pinching their throats.

Gao Ye no longer had the energy to release pheromones to counter the attack. His hand was pinched by Bai Li and it hurt so much. He clenched his teeth and his cheeks bulged. He stared at Bai Li with all his stubbornness.

"Hey," Bai Li reacted, but his hand loosened and was pulled back by Lu Zhao. "I was distracted. Sorry..."

Halfway through his words, Gao Ye lost his balance because Bai Li pulled his hand back so hard. He pulled his hand back too hard and too suddenly. His fingers were still clenched, grabbing Mr. Gao's hair and pulling it back.

A bunch of black hair was directly pulled off.

Mr. Gao's shiny scalp was exposed.

Mr. Gao just breathed a sigh of relief when he felt a breeze blowing on his head. He reached out and touched it. He

touched it again.

In the luxurious banquet hall where people were toasting, this small corner was silent.

"Oh, this," Bai Li said dryly, "I really didn't expect this."

Lu Zhao pulled Bai Li with one hand, clenched his fist with the other hand, and coughed softly in front of his mouth.

Not only Bai Li didn't expect it, but no one present expected it - Mr. Gao would inevitably be bald in middle age.

With a quick low cry, Mr. Gao almost felt that everyone's eyes were on his head, his shortcomings, and his fragility. He didn't even have time to take his wig from Gao Ye's hand, and turned around and ran away with his face covered.

Situ, who had just returned from investigating the matter, bumped into Mr. Gao and was about to curse him, but when he raised his eyes, he was dazzled by Mr. Gao's reflective head and blinked to make way.

Mr. Gao trotted along the wall and disappeared.

People are merciless when they poke at others' sore spots, but they always seem to forget that they also have sore spots.

"Father!" Gao Ye came to his senses, chased after him for two steps, turned his head and glared at Bai Li and Lu Zhao, "Bai Li, just wait and see, you will be the only one left in the Bai family..."

He didn't finish, but Lu Zhao understood what he meant.

At the time of Bai Li's generation, the Bai family was left with only Bai Li. The family's decline was unstoppable, and it wouldn't even make the sound of a huge creature falling to the ground.

The decline of the Bai family was destined to be silent, and would come to an understated end with Bai Li's death, without even a speck of dust being stirred up.

Lu Zhao felt Bai Li's body move, and immediately tightened his hand that was still holding his arm.

Bai Li's condition was not right today, and it seemed that he couldn't control the fluctuations of pheromones and mental power. Just for a moment, Lu Zhao felt that Bai Li would beat someone to blood in such a public occasion.

This is not right. After all, this is Mrs. Tang and Bai Ying's birthday party. Although Bai Li never mentioned it, the silver cherry blossom necklace still reveals his importance to Bai Ying's birthday. At least he didn't think of ruining the party.

Maybe the Gao family really mentioned something that Bai Li cares about, which made his emotions fluctuate so much.

Lu Zhao thought of his medical examination report.

When Gao Ye's back disappeared from the crowd's sight, the suppressed laughter and discussions around him became louder. Situ was still rubbing his eyes: "I'm blind."

"That's true..." Zhou Yue started, suppressing the smile in his voice, "It's estimated that Mr. Gao will not appear at the banquet in the short term."

Bai Li casually took a glass of champagne and took a sip. Feeling Lu Zhao holding his arm, he calmed down a lot and said, "Teacher Si, where were you just now?"

"I contacted some former colleagues," Situ replied, "Didn't you hear what Lin Sheng's grandson said just now? He is also engaged in mecha research and development. Who knows, he may be a competitor in the future. Can the two of us defeat the emperor like this...? I have to investigate first, and then ask someone about Lin Sheng's research and development direction."

Lu Zhao didn't know much about this: "Competitor?"

"The Imperial Research Institute will publicly solicit new products and new data from private research institutes for mecha research every once in a while," Zhou Yue answered all the questions from the major general. "It can be understood as a small mecha research and development competition. After passing the review and assessment of the Imperial Research Institute, there is an opportunity to jointly develop with the institute. Private research institutes provide data and technology, and the Imperial Research Institute can provide different materials for making mechas."

Situ added: "The metal materials that can be used in mechas are very special, and the Empire strictly controls their mining and use."

"The military will have the qualifications to recommend private research institutes," Zhou Yue said lightly, "I think the reason why Mr. Lin Sheng came to say hello to Mr. Bai Li is partly because Major General Lu Zhao is now in the limelight, and the relationship between the two of you and the Marshal has always been good."

Lu Zhao understood and turned his head to look at Bai Li.

He saw that Bai Li was distracted again.

Bai Li went through the original plot several times in his mind and was sure that Lin Sheng was not a character in the original novel. In the original novel, Bai Li was always depressed after being injured and had no intention of doing anything else. But now he took the initiative to choose to develop mechas with Situ and try to return to the military.

Maybe because of this, Lin Sheng appeared. Just like when he avoided the injury plot in the original novel.

He blazed a trail, and fate blocked him on the way.

It's unreasonable, but the world has always been like this to supporting roles.

Situ said, "It's a pity that Lin Sheng's research has always been carried out on the satellite planet. Most of my colleagues are concerned about the research institutes on the main planet and don't know much about the situation on the satellite planet."

Zhou Yue smiled and said, "Mr. Lin Sheng's research direction should be different from yours. He chose to develop mechas that can better match Alpha's strong body, hoping to further enhance the offensive power."

Situ was surprised, "You know quite a bit."

"In recent years, our family has had some relationship with the mining of special metals." Zhou Yue answered casually without saying much, only saying, "If necessary, Major General Lu and Mr. Bai can just speak up, and I will do my best to help."

Bai Li was stunned for a few seconds. He just remembered Zhou Yue's family, which was mentioned several times in the original book. The Zhou family did not decline, but instead had a tendency to hold their heads high. In the following years, they provided a lot of technical support to the male protagonist Tang Kaiyuan in improving his mental strength.

He did not expect Zhou Yue's attitude to be like this, but he still smiled and nodded: "Thank you."

Lu Zhao also nodded in thanks.

"It should be," Zhou Yue drank the champagne in his hand, "Although the research and development of mechas will contribute to the empire no matter how they are improved. But out of selfishness, I still hope that Mr. Bai Li's mechas can be put into actual combat."

He sighed and continued: "I thought my brother would be a beta, so I concealed his age and sent him into the military. That was his ambition and the help the family needed, but..."

Situ knew a little about the situation: "You almost ruined him."

"Yes, I have no excuse for this," Zhou Yue said, "but my brother shouldn't miss his ideal because of his gender."

No one spoke this time, this topic was very heavy.

A waiter came up and whispered something in Zhou Yue's ear. Zhou Yue frowned and said, "I have something to do. I'll leave you now." After

saying hello to Lu Zhao, Bai Li and others, Zhou Yue took two steps and looked back at Bai Li.

"Mr. Bai Li, this Kali flower is a good match for you." Zhou Yue said with a smile, "At least the optical computer didn't make a regrettable match this time."

He walked away with the waiter.

Mecha research is a difficult and addictive long-term job. Situ basically spends two-thirds of his time in the research institute. Coming to the banquet today is as painful as a business trip for him. It's okay if others don't say anything. As soon as the topic of mecha is mentioned, he feels uncomfortable and wants to dive into the research institute and live with his research.

"I'm not staying here anymore," Situ said, looking listless. "I'm going back to my room. Si Dong is probably fast asleep by now."

Bai Li asked, "Where's Jiang Hao?"

"He must be blocked somewhere," Situ replied. "I heard that several omegas of the right age are asking about him. He's almost at the age of O. If he can't fall in love freely, he can only wait for the optical computer to match him." After saying that, he paused and added jokingly, "It would be great if the optical computer could always maintain the accuracy when it matched you and the major general."

The optical computer matches based on the comparison of the genes and mental strength of alpha and omega, hoping to produce more capable offspring through the combination of high-level people.

Human emotions are not within the calculation range of the optical computer.

Bai Li felt a little sleepy, perhaps because he hadn't drunk for a long time.

The plot of the original novel kept replaying in his mind, and his emotions were a little fluctuating. He knew that something was wrong with him. Bai Li thought he had extraordinary self-control and was always good at controlling his pheromones, but today he was a little out of control.

"You don't look well." Lu Zhao whispered beside him.

When Bai Li came to his senses, Situ had already left. Because of the pheromone threat just now, a space was intentionally or unintentionally vacated around him and Lu Zhao.

"It's okay," Bai Li leaned against the transparent wall, "I'm a little sleepy."

Lu Zhao looked at him for a while, waved to a robot, and took a disinfectant towel from the tray and gave it to him.

"Fuck," Bai Li wiped his hands with the disinfectant towel and thought of what happened just now, "It scared Lili. The wig was too realistic."

Lu Zhao also thought of the fluffy black hair that flew out of Mr. Gao's head, and couldn't help laughing.

The two laughed for a long time in a very wicked way.

After wiping his hands clean, Bai Li touched the Kali flower on his chest. When he hugged Lu Zhao just now, he pressed the flower and the petals were slightly damaged, but fortunately, it was just picked not long ago, and it still looks beautiful.

Bai Li said, "This is the first time I'm so close to Kali."

These words stung Lu Zhao like a bee's tail, just for a moment, but soon a bulge appeared.

"I have to ask Situ to make something to preserve it," Bai Li said again, still looking at the Kali flower, "otherwise it will wither soon."

Lu Zhao said, "There is another one."

Bai Li reacted for a few seconds and couldn't help laughing, "You want to give me that one too?"

"Yeah," Lu Zhao glanced at him and said lightly, "You like it."

No one doesn't like golden Kali, but to Bai Li, the meaning is different.

He was very close to the flower, but in the end he fell to the bottom of the valley while leaping.

Bai Li teased, "Do you know how much this thing is worth? If I like something more valuable, or more awesome, do you have to buy me one?"

Lu Zhao also smiled and said lightly, "Yeah." After a few seconds, he said, "As long as I can give it."

Bai Li looked at him. If they were not in the noisy banquet hall now, he would definitely kiss him.

"Bai Li," Lu Zhao half-lowered his eyes and whispered, "I didn't tell you that my injury is lifelong. It's not written in the physical examination report, but the doctor basically confirmed it."

From the first moment he saw the mecha, Lu Zhao forgot the fact that he was an omega.

His life list only had military titles one by one and mechas of different models. The universe and the stars were the only scenes that had ever appeared in his dreams, and he had never considered getting married and having children.

Bai Li... Bai Li was an accident.

The feelings that came with this accident were also accidents.

Lu Zhao's voice was still very calm, but he didn't look at Bai Li's face: "I will never be able to have children in this life."

The banquet hall was bright and dazzling, and outside the transparent wall was the vast universe. Lu Zhao had never thought that he would say this at this time. Facing the vast universe and galaxies, the troubles he and Bai Li had seemed to be only the size of sesame seeds.

But human beings are bound by sesame-sized troubles throughout their lives.

Lu Zhao felt Bai Li holding his hand and kissing him on the cheek.

The dragonfly-like kiss was mixed with the scent of Bai Li's pheromones. He was in a state that was not right today, and the smell could not be suppressed, so no one dared to get close.

But as soon as Lu Zhao smelled this scent, he didn't want to lower his eyes anymore.

"It seems that we haven't talked about this," Bai Li said in his ear, "As usual, if you have anything to say, go back and talk about it?"

Lu Zhao finally raised his eyes to look at him.

The smile on Bai Li's face was not obvious, but very gentle.

He was an unexpected event in Lu Zhao's life so far, and the gentleness he brought to Lu Zhao was a feeling that he could not understand but still loved.

Lu Zhao held Bai Li's hand: "Yeah."

The universe and the galaxy cannot respond to the tiny troubles of human beings.

But Bai Li can.

Or maybe not.

Lu Zhao let Bai Li support him with one hand without any expression, and jumped forward on one foot.

"Major General brother, can you hold me a little bit," Bai Li said aggrievedly, "If you want to pretend, you have to pretend to be like that. My legs hurt!"

You hurt ass.

Lu Zhao stretched out his hand stiffly to support Bai Li.

As he was about to walk out of the banquet hall, someone came towards Lu Zhao with a glass of champagne: "Major General—"

Before Lu Zhao could reply, he heard Bai Li exclaim, "My legs hurt! I can't stand it! How about you hold me, darling?"

The person who was walking this way immediately turned around and walked away with an embarrassed look.

"Why do you have to be like this..." Lu Zhao wanted to find an adjective, but he really couldn't think of any words that could accurately describe Bai Li.

Master Bai hung on him and whispered in his ear, "As long as I'm not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed."

That's quite right.

At least with Bai Li shouting "Aiya" and "Oh my God" all the way, the two of them didn't meet anyone to talk to along the way, and they walked out of the banquet hall without any obstacles.

As soon as he got on the elevator, Master Bai stood up straight and smoothed his hair in a serious manner: "This is how the gang

is. If you say hello to one of them, you have to say hello all the way. It's endless." Lu Zhao really didn't know much about this kind of thing. He just couldn't understand what was going on in Bai Li's mind. He could even use his leg injury as an excuse to get out of the situation.

"Flowers," Bai Li said while tidying up his hair, "Is it true that only I, the Tang family, and the hospital know about your physical condition?"

Lu Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Yeah."

Indeed, such a relatively secret injury should not be disclosed. But Bai Li felt that the Gao family was referring to Lu Zhao's physical condition in their words and there was a hint of gloating in their tone, and it was obvious that they knew about Lu Zhao's situation.

Thinking of this, Bai Li felt a little anxious and angry. He took a few deep breaths before suppressing the anger.

The elevator goes directly to the guest check-in floor. With the help of personal terminals, guests can find their assigned rooms and check in.

The two got off the elevator and walked all the way to the room number. Lu Zhao followed Bai Li and turned a corner. Bai Li, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.

"Bai Li?" Lu Zhao called out and looked forward in the direction Bai Li was looking.

Mrs. Tang stood in the corridor, clasped her hands, and looked at Bai Li nervously.

The light in the corridor was a soft warm color, which made Mrs. Tang's slightly pale face even softer. Her eyes stayed on Bai Li for a long time before she moved to Lu Zhao, smiling and nodding slightly: "Major General Lu, Mr. Bai."

Lu Zhao nodded as a reply.

"I want to talk to Mr. Bai alone," Mrs. Tang said softly, "Is it okay?"

Lu Zhao subconsciously looked at Bai Li, but without waiting for Bai Li to answer, he took out his personal terminal and went to find a room: "Yes."

"Thank you." Mrs. Tang smiled happily.

Lu Zhao was about to leave when he felt Bai Li pulling his arm. Before he could react, Bai Li hugged him and whispered in his ear: "You go back first, we'll talk later, okay?"

Lu Zhao's heart softened, and he raised his hand and hugged him back: "Yeah."

He walked around Mrs. Tang, and turned a corner in the order of the room numbers, and finally found the room number on the invitation letter.

Using the personal terminal to swipe the door, Lu Zhao heard Mrs. Tang's voice the moment he walked in.

Mrs. Tang's voice was slightly trembling and very low, but Lu Zhao still heard it clearly.

She said: "Li Li, do you like Major General Lu very much? I think you are very happy."

Lu Zhao stood at the door and did not enter.

He felt that such behavior was as shameful as eavesdropping, but he did not move.

Lu Zhao exhaled.

It turns out that in Bai Ying's heart, Bai Li is not Mr. Bai, but Li Li.

He heard Bai Li's voice, very short, just one word: "Yes."

It seemed like he was back to that rainy night.

He leaned on Bai Li's legs, and Bai Li thought he was asleep, so he kept talking to him.

Bai Li could still use a "yes" to make a thundering sound in Lu Zhao's heart.
