The topic started by a Kali flower has intensified. Similar cases in recent years have been uncovered and various inside stories have been exposed for the first time.

In response, the royal family and the military had to come forward and give an investigation report and statement on the failed rescue mission that year. However, the report was too vague, the details were not clear enough, and the division of responsibilities was unclear, which aroused greater anger among citizens.

Faced with a voice demanding a response, the royal family chose silent suppression. News related to this matter was not allowed to be broadcast, forum posts were deleted in large numbers, bloggers were banned, and so on. After operations, the day was about to end.

The royal family is well aware of a truth: the enthusiasm of quite a few people is time-limited. When there are new things to distract their attention, the enthusiasm of most people will soon turn into chicken blood and go to other topics.

The people who spoke out also understood this very well, so one incident after another was exposed. Bai Li's failed rescue mission was like a fuse, causing a series of explosions, directly blowing out a corner of the mud at the bottom of the pool, and putting the black and stinking facts in front of the public.

The military has long been annoyed by this kind of thing, and the marshal is even more annoyed by the royal family's unspoken privileges in the military. He took the opportunity to propose unified management of the military, concentration of power back to the top of the military, and strict control of the media's meddling in the military, opposing the media's smearing and false reporting of the military's image.

The troubles of several parties are entangled together, making the royal family's public relations very busy. The old man of the royal Lin family has long been too old to bear the blows, and many things are handled by the first heir. The marshal brought a series of reports summarizing the causes, processes, and results of the incidents to the old man, and fortunately he fainted.

The outside world is making a lot of noise, but it is actually just a game.

The lower-class citizens want a positive response and justice. The military wants to take this opportunity to gain more autonomy, establish a more stable management method, and cancel the royal family's privileges in the military. The royal family needs to find a way to cover up easily without paying any price.

Of course, you can't say that the military doesn't have true feelings to fight for justice for those drowned in the dark cloud. There are still emotions. The lower you go, the more real the emotions are, because they are in similar positions and have similar experiences, so it is easy to empathize. The higher you go, the emotions may not be so pure, there must be something else involved.

Bai Li actually doesn't care much about the final result of the matter, mainly because such things generally don't have a clear result.

"You don't know, when that old man opens his mouth, he won't shut it unless he makes several people angry to death," Bai Li took a sip of porridge, "It's too bad, worse than me."

There were several dishes on the table, but they were not made by Bai Li. They were all takeout ordered from nearby restaurants. The taste was unsatisfactory, which was quite different from Bai Li's cooking habits.

Lu Zhao's taste had been led astray by Bai Li. Now when he ate the imperial-style meals made in these restaurants, he felt that the taste was not right. He could only chew a few bites in silence and swallow them. He asked, "Which old man?"

Bai Li said, "Marshal, I haven't met the old man of the Lin family either."

Lu Zhao was a little surprised: "You haven't seen him?"

"How could it be my turn to meet him? My old man has met him several times," Bai Li said casually, "The man's health is not very good, but I heard that he is okay, but he is always listless. Out of the 365 days a year, he can't breathe for 300 days."

Bai Li's mouth is really bad, and Lu Zhao laughed a few times.

"As for my affair, nine out of ten times the one from the Lin family didn't know about it at first," Bai Li sipped his porridge slowly, "When he was still in charge, the military was fine, and there weren't so many messy things, otherwise our old man wouldn't have worked so hard. Later, his health failed, and most of the things were handled by the first heir. That thing..."

Bai Li sneered twice, but didn't continue.

He knew very well in his heart that Lin Sheng had a very good relationship with the first heir, otherwise he wouldn't have spent so much effort to suppress this matter.

But the royal family is the royal family, it is a whole, it is an image, and if there is a bug, the whole image will be tainted, and there are more than one bug.

These thoughts made Bai Li very uncomfortable. His susceptible period had not yet passed. Even with Lu Zhao's pheromones, he would still have some irritable thoughts in his mind from time to time.

Bai Li lost his appetite after a few bites, and he didn't want to eat it as soon as he put down his chopsticks: "I won't eat this restaurant's food next time, it's so bland."

The taste of the Empire is like this, and it's not that this restaurant's taste is bland.

But alphas in susceptible period are prone to temper, and Bai Li can't control it.

Lu Zhao glanced at him: "Drink the porridge." You can eat the food if you like.

"This porridge is not good either," said Master Bai, who is very picky about food, "It has no taste at all, too bland."

Bland means bland. Occasionally, some strange words will pop out of Bai Li's mouth, and Lu Zhao is used to it.

After Bai Li had vented his temper, he felt like a fool. The main reason was that he ordered the dish and the porridge, which had nothing to do with Lu Zhao. Moreover, this restaurant was one that Bai Li often went to before, and the taste was familiar. But now he couldn't stand it.

Bai Li had not behaved so willfully many times. Although Master Bai was arrogant and domineering outside, he didn't seem to be "willful". Bai Li had a bottom line in doing things. He had a bad temper, but he didn't lose his temper easily, and he never spoke harshly because of the slightest thing.

Maybe it was because he had never been like this before. After all, no one at home gave him the opportunity to be willful.

After the two sentences of temper, Master Bai realized that he had lost his intelligence. He coughed and prepared to talk about some national affairs to improve his image.

Then he saw Lu Zhao stand up and go to the kitchen. After a while, he came back with a jar of something in his hand.

Bai Li swallowed his words back into his stomach and asked, "Xianhua, what did you take?"

Lu Zhao didn't say anything. He took a spoon and scooped half a spoonful of the stuff in the jar and put it into Bai Li's porridge, then said lightly, "Stir it."

Bai Li saw clearly that Lu Zhao was holding a jar of sugar.

After putting the sugar, Lu Zhao sat down in his seat quite naturally, and continued to stuff the two dishes that Bai Li was unwilling to eat into his mouth with a calm expression.

Bai Li calmly picked up the spoon and stirred the porridge in his bowl. He took a sip and couldn't stand it halfway through. He covered his face with his hands and held half a mouthful of sweet porridge. He swallowed it after a long time.

Master Bai has never had sweet porridge since he was born.

Lu Zhao asked, "Is it tasteless?"

After asking, he waited for half a minute before hearing Bai Li's mosquito-like humming voice, "It tastes good."

Lu Zhao wanted to laugh, but it was very difficult to hold it back.

"No, don't," Bai Li's ears turned red, "Can you stop coaxing like a child?"

"No," Lu Zhao said, "I used to drink like this."

Bai Li raised his head: "How long ago?" Lu

Zhao thought for a moment and said frankly: "Five or six years old."

"Fuck," Bai Li lowered his head again, "I'm dying."

Lu Zhao thought he didn't like it, paused: "Then don't drink it." As

soon as he finished speaking, Bai Li began to put the porridge into his mouth with the spoon in his hand. His movements were quite smooth and he drank it very comfortably.

While drinking, he said: "Did you like this kind of sugar porridge when you were a child? I'll try it next time."

Lu Zhao said: "It's okay. At the end of each year, my father's workplace would distribute some of this kind of stuff. He couldn't cook, so he could only cook porridge and put some sugar in it."

Now the two of them can calmly share the bad things in their youth. Bai Li thought to himself that this is not about liking to drink sugar porridge, it's just that he can't forget that scene.

"It's almost the end of the year now," Bai Li licked the porridge on his lips, "I was alone before and too lazy to move. This year you're here too, I'll show you my cooking skills and make you some hard dishes."

Lu Zhao didn't understand: "Hard dishes?"

Bai Li smiled and said, "Big fish and meat!"

The Empire does not have the tradition of celebrating the New Year in a big way. In Bai Li's childhood memories, the New Year's Eve was basically spent at a banquet with clinking glasses.

Bai Li had enough of the New Year's Eve filled with the smell of wine, and this year he finally didn't need to do that.

The meal was eaten slowly, and at the end Bai Li also sprinkled a spoonful of sugar into Lu Zhao's bowl. The two of them re-experienced the feeling when they were five or six years old. The dishes were not finished, but the porridge was not wasted.

The unfinished dishes were put into the refrigerator, waiting for the second processing tomorrow, and remodeled by Chef Bai.

After dinner, everyone dealt with the accumulated work of the past two days. After washing up in the evening, Bai Li realized that he was facing a major problem: How could he naturally ask to sleep in the same room with his ally?

A pretentious person is pretentious about the details, and Master Bai will never change his pretentiousness in this life. After taking a shower, he walked around the hall again and again, with water on his feet, which made the robot housekeeper follow him closely to clean up, and he was so angry that he kept cursing in a shrill voice.

Lu Zhao finished reading a document, heard the movement, and looked up at Bai Li.

"Ah, that," Bai Li cleared his throat, "Flowers, it's getting late, do you have a lot of work?"

Lu Zhao looked at the time, it was late: "Not bad."

Bai Li asked again: "Don't let Huo Cun idle, call him more. It's so late, you should rest, are you sleepy?"

Lu Zhao half-closed his eyes and looked at Bai Li: "Sleepy."

"Yeah, of course I am sleepy, you're tired all day!" Young Master Bai was very excited, "Then go to sleep!"

Lu Zhao figured it out, and said calmly: "That's right." He

turned off the personal terminal, stood up, said "good night" to Bai Li, and walked towards his bedroom.

Bai Li was stunned. He stood there and shouted twice: "That's it, good night? Huh?"

"Yeah," Lu Zhao turned around to look at him, "What's the matter?"

"Oh," Bai Li stammered, "nothing serious..."

Lu Zhao nodded, and went back to sleep with a natural expression.

Bai Li was left in the living room, hammering on the sofa for several times. Master Bai reflected and felt that he had never been in love in his life, and Lu Zhao had never been in love either. What a coincidence! These two people were forced to be in the same pot, and they had to be served separately when they were taken out.

Bai Li returned to his bedroom in a daze. He had slept in this room for several years, and now he didn't like it at all.

Ten minutes later, Master Bai did the most outrageous thing in his life so far.

He held his pillow and sneaked into Major General Lu's bedroom. He was so nervous and his behavior was so shameful that Bai Li did not notice that the door of Lu Zhao's bedroom was not closed at all. There was a gap of five fingers wide, which opened with a push.

There was no light on in the room. Bai Li had never slept in this bedroom before, so there was no virtual starry sky device installed like his bedroom, and no light could be seen.

Alpha's hearing was very useful. Bai Li tiptoed and heard Lu Zhao's steady breathing, as if he was asleep.

It is easy to be sensitive and overthink during the susceptible period. Bai Li felt a little aggrieved for no reason and wanted to wake him up. Is he a human being? Is he a legal partner? Or a good brother who got into trouble together?

Master Bai suddenly had infinite power. He threw the pillow onto the bed and jumped directly onto it.

As soon as his front feet touched the bed, he heard a few laughs from the darkness.

"Fuck," Bai Li was stunned for two seconds before reacting, "Major General Lu, you are waiting for me to do such a hooligan thing, right?!"

Lu Zhao's laughter became louder and louder. When Bai Li got into the quilt, he pulled up the quilt to cover his head, and he couldn't stop laughing.

"You are such a jerk," said Master Bai, getting angry and ashamed. "You are such a good hypocrite!" He

was rubbed from head to toe by Major General Lu. Lu Zhao was not ambiguous either. He pinched Bai Li's waist with his backhand. Bai Li was pinched so hard that he screamed and opened his mouth to bite Lu Zhao's neck.

This was really funny. Bai Li himself had no temper. After biting, he felt the vibration caused by Lu Zhao's laughter. He couldn't help but laughed hard.

What kind of person is this? He looked expressionless, and when he was holding back his anger, he was even more wicked than Bai Li.

After the fight, Bai Li hugged Lu Zhao, leaned his head over and said pitifully, "Major General brother is so cruel, I'm not even in the susceptible period yet."

His coquettish voice made Lu Zhao hate him enough, but he didn't push this grandson away, instead he let Bai Li's arm tighten him. After a few seconds, Lu Zhao said, "Leave the door open."

Bai Li remembered that the door was indeed open when he pushed it in just now.

The Imperial Eagle never missed its prey, and it had predicted that Bai Li would do this.

"You have a strong taste," Bai Li said, "Experience the script of climbing into bed in the middle of the night, is it fun, flowers?"

Lu Zhao smiled and said "hmm".

Bai Li was silent.

With the temporary mark there, Lu Zhao felt that Bai Li was in a bad mood, so he turned his head and asked, "Bai Li?"

"What if I don't come?" Bai Li said lightly, "Have you thought about it?"

Lu Zhao was stunned: "Are you angry?"

After a long time in the darkness, Bai Li's muffled voice came: "Angry."

"Why are you angry?" Lu Zhao didn't quite understand.

Good man, Bai Li almost got a choke from Lu Zhao.

Lu Zhao really didn't understand: "Why are you angry? If you don't come, I will go over."

If someone else said this, Bai Li felt that he would only get more angry.

But when it came to Lu Zhao, he suddenly lost for words.

Isn't it always like this? If Bai Li doesn't move forward, Lu Zhao will grope his way towards him. He doesn't regard this as a matter of face, nor will he be indirect like Bai Li. If Bai Li doesn't come, he will go over.

There is no separation, they have to stay together anyway. Lu Zhao's mind has no other situation.

Bai Li pulled the quilt suddenly, covering both him and Lu Zhao in the quilt. Bai Li said: "I have always liked sleeping like this since I was a child. This is called the 'quilt barrier'. I am the safest here."

Lu Zhao remembered that Bai Li always slept like this, wrapping himself up in a quilt.

Just like a shell, he curled up inside and was unwilling to come out.

It turned out that this person has been like this since he was a child. In the quilt barrier, Bai Li has always been the child.

"I'll take you with me," Bai Li whispered, "I'll take you with me every day from now on."

Lu Zhao groped in the dark and touched Bai Li's cheek. It felt hot when he touched it. He knew that Bai Li's face must have turned red.

Bai Li was childish and a little cute during his susceptible period, or maybe Bai Li has always been so childish.

But Lu Zhao likes it very much.

Lu Zhao hummed, "Take me with you, Bai Li."

With the quilt barrier and two bowls of sugar porridge, they will return to their childhood years. Those

years without each other's involvement.

Once the susceptible period is over, Bai Li and Lu Zhao will have to start their own work.

There are many things to be solved at the end of the year. Lu Zhao has to report to the army early in the morning. There will be a new round of army selection at the beginning of next year. Senior officers without front-line tasks are called to a meeting.

Bai Li was rushed to the institute in the afternoon by Situ. Without the influence of the susceptible period, Master Bai has regained his former style. He walked with long legs and smiled cheerfully as soon as he entered the door of the institute.

Almost blinding Situ: "I know you are going to make a comeback, so you don't have to laugh like that, right?"

"What comeback?" Bai Li said, "Why do I need to make a comeback? I am the most handsome in every aspect."

Situ handed Bai Li the personnel information for the interview and said, "There is a new version of your story, the relationship between the Marshal and your family is there, I will definitely give you an explanation this time. When the time comes, Lin... that kid's story will be exposed, and you will be completely turned over, right?"

Bai Li said lazily, "Can my leg recover?"

Situ was stunned and said disappointedly, "Damn, yes, what can I do."

"Besides, this matter is still uncertain," Bai Li said, "If the old Marshal could give me an explanation, he would have given it a few years ago. He can't give it to me. He has more and longer-term things to consider. The first thing he puts on the table is to use this opportunity to gain some benefits and rights for the military."

The two spoke in a low voice. When Situ heard this, he shouted, "Is this still a good relationship?!"

"Keep your voice down," Bai Li slapped Situ on the face and said lightly, "There were too many things like this that happened to me back then. If I had to give an account of them one by one, the military and the royal family would have lost face. If you can give an account, that would be good. If you can't, you should at least give up some benefits. At least there will be fewer people like us and fewer things like this in the future."

He paused and added, "When I was injured and hospitalized, the Marshal did ask for an account."

Situ was a deadbeat who was engaged in scientific research. Even though he was from an aristocratic family, he didn't really understand the twists and turns here.

In fact, Bai Li didn't know it very well. He only analyzed it based on his own understanding. Anyway, he didn't think that this matter would have a particularly bright ending.

"Then doesn't it mean that your leg was wasted?" Situ couldn't stand it.

Bai Li smiled and put his arm on Situ's shoulder: "You have to think like this, if I didn't have this leg, how could there be such a big commotion today?"

In the original novel, the news and public opinion that only appeared in the background when praising Tang Kaiyuan seemed to have changed differently. Bai Li read a lot of reports in the past few days, and also visited forums or blogs where citizens speak out the most, and found that people began to argue spontaneously.

For the same thing, there are supporters and opponents. There are ambiguous reports, doubts and speculations.

The crowd that once leaned to one side seemed to gradually break away from a template and had more ideas and opinions.

Not all are good, and not always bad.

Bai Li realized that the plot in the original novel where he was injured was completely an accident and did not involve moral issues at all. But now, because he escaped the accident in the original plot, the plot had to create a second accident to injure him, and this accident gave the whole world a glimpse of gradual awakening.

These are details that the original plot cannot cover, so it has not been forced back to the original mode. Bai Li didn't know what this meant, but he vaguely felt that he seemed to hit a tree. The tree shook, but it didn't fall down, but dropped a leaf.

Maybe if he continued to hit it, the leaves would fall off one by one, revealing the bare trunk.

A trunk without branches and leaves is naturally not lush.

"The interview will start in 20 minutes," Situ's voice interrupted Bai Li's thoughts, "Just relax and don't think too much."

He was worried that Bai Li would get stuck in a dead end.

Bai Li responded and took out the little white ball and handed it to Situ: "There is a damaged recording in this thing. Can you try to repair it?"

"Okay." Situ took it.

The two turned the topic back to the interview and walked into the house discussing the interviewees' resumes.
