Bai Li subconsciously didn't want Tang Kaiyuan to get out of the car, so he blocked the door without thinking.
In the original novel, Tang Kaiyuan would have close contact with Lu Zhao every time he got out of the car, and shaking hands was a common occurrence. Bai Li knew that there was something wrong with this kid, and he didn't want him to have any physical contact with Lu Zhao. With annoyance taking over, he stepped on the car door.
After stepping on it, he was a little confused. He regained some of the feeling of lifting several tables and walking away at a banquet when he was young. It
was so cool.
The two omegas in the car were startled, and Tang Kaiyuan pushed the door twice, but it wouldn't open.
"Mr. Bai," Tang Kaiyuan looked at Bai Li, "Your behavior is too rude, not what a noble should do."
Bai Li felt relaxed and comfortable, "You are right."
He put his foot down.
Tang Kaiyuan frowned and just pushed the car door open a crack, Bai Li kicked the door shut with a "bang".
"Bai Li!" Tang Kaiyuan said angrily, "What are you doing?!"
"There is a mosquito in your car, I will help you to kill it." Bai Li's eyes were sincere, "Helping others is what a noble should do."
Everyone in the main star knew that the relationship between the Tang family and the Bai family was not good. Han Miao and Chen Nan had also heard that Bai Li was a dishonest person, and today they were enlightened.
The man was chatting with them one second, and the next he stepped onto the front of the car of the young master of the Tang family, so fast that Han Miao and Chen Nan didn't have time to think about what was going on.
"Can you be more restrained? Don't be so aggressive every time you meet..." Tang Kaiyuan chose his words carefully, "Swords are drawn!"
Bai Li drew a line: "Let me make it clear first, I am a crossbow." Whoever loves swords, he loves swords.
Tang Kaiyuan leaned to one side, gathered enough strength and pushed the car door.
Unexpectedly, Bai Li retracted his legs at the same time, and Tang Kaiyuan pushed too hard, and he almost fell off the seat.
"Slow down," Bai Li said, "You have learned four-character idioms, why is it so difficult to open a car door?"
His voice was slow, overlapping with the young Bai Li in Tang Kaiyuan's memory.
At that time, Tang Kaiyuan followed his father's advice and skipped a grade, and was in the class next to Bai Li. The two classes had physical education classes together, and Tang Kaiyuan always came in second in every physical fitness test. He looked at the first place, but he could only see Bai Li's back.
He said in a nonchalant and arrogant voice: "Hey, without challenges, there will be no success."
The words were not said to Tang Kaiyuan, but Tang Kaiyuan remembered them for a long time.
Tang Kaiyuan seemed to have lived in the shadow of Bai Li throughout his youth, living at the foot of the mountain of Bai Li. Every time he looked up, he could not see the top.
He knew that he had to cross a hurdle called "Bai Li". When they met again on the cruise ship after several years, there was a moment when he felt that he was going to cross it.
He closed his eyes, suppressed the anger in his chest, and then got out of the car and looked at Bai Li and said, "Mr. Bai, you don't have to target me because of this. I know that the incident on the cruise ship was not pleasant, but there were reasons for it. I also had a conflict with you for Lu Zhao and the people around me. I just happened to meet Lu Zhao today and wanted to say hello."
"Misunderstood," Bai Li smiled, "I just wanted to target you, it has nothing to do with whether it's a matter or not."
"Do you have to be so sharp when you speak?" Tang Kaiyuan frowned slightly, "I know you have always been dissatisfied with me, but we can't change the things of our fathers, why do you keep brooding about it."
Bai Li found for the first time that Tang Kaiyuan was actually very smart.
He knew very well what he had more than Bai Li, and he also knew how to stimulate Bai Li's nerves.
Tang Kaiyuan could write a short essay of 100 to 200 words in the original novel without any hesitation. He was full of righteousness and could make Bai Li, the original author, furious every time. He got angry in the street several times, showing his ugly side in public, and took the initiative to become a cannon fodder to increase the reader's pleasure.
This statement was equivalent to putting the bad things of the Tang and Bai families on the table. Bai Li's behavior seemed to be venting his dissatisfaction with the Tang family. Not to mention Lu Zhao, Han Miao and Chen Nan could also hear that this statement was not very kind.
Lu Zhao frowned, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Bai Li say something.
Bai Li: "I heard that Tang Xiao liked to drive a dark red Wolf brand suspension car when he was young."
Tang Kaiyuan was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that there was such a car in the garage at home.
The car is handsome and beautiful, but my father has never driven it.
Tang Kaiyuan: "What do you mean? Don't talk about other topics."
"Go ask Tang Xiao if he remembers," Bai Li said casually with his hands in his trouser pockets, "Our old man used his car to rub the soles of his shoes several times."
In order to pursue Bai Ying, Tang Xiao drove his car in the rain to act out a sad drama, standing outside the Bai family's old house waiting for a whole night. The old man Bai was very angry and stomped on his car several times.
Tang Xiao drove the suspension car with footprints home for several days in a row, and never drove the Wolf suspension car again.
For a few brief seconds, Tang Kaiyuan seemed to hear the sharp friction of blood hitting the eardrum.
But Bai Li's voice was more harsh than the friction. Bai Li said, "You are not as good as your father. Your car is not as smooth as his."
No one said anything.
It was the first time that Lu Zhao saw Bai Li so arrogant. The glory of Master Bai's youth was not all rumors. When you insult someone, you should not be polite. When you attack, you should first point out their shortcomings.
A pheromone with the smell of alcohol suddenly rose. Tang Kaiyuan slowly clenched his hands hanging at his sides. The surging pheromones pressed directly at Bai Li. His body was tense, and it was obvious that he was suppressing his anger.
But then, another pheromone was immediately suppressed. Bai Li's pheromones bypassed Lu Zhao and Chen Nan, and almost instantly blocked the smell of Tang Kaiyuan's aggressiveness.
The pheromones of the two sides confronted each other. Bai Li's pheromones were compressed like a sharp blade under the powerful mental force. No matter how overwhelming the smell of Tang Kaiyuan's alcohol was, he could still tear a hole. The
pheromone collision produced by the high-level alpha confrontation made Han Miao immediately enter a state of alert. He turned back to protect Chen Nan, pulled Chen Nan to his side, and comforted Chen Nan with his own pheromone smell.
"Mr. Tang," Han Miao said cautiously, "this is the First Legion, please pay attention to your behavior."
The buzzing sound in Tang Kaiyuan's head gradually weakened, and his fists tightened and unclenched, and it took several seconds before he slowly calmed down.
"Sorry, I lost my composure." Tang Kaiyuan calmed himself down, and then seemed to realize something. He quickly looked at Lu Zhao and explained, "I was too reckless. Did it affect you?"
Lu Zhao took out his personal terminal, took a look at it, and said lightly: "It affects my working hours."
He really didn't care too much. Bai Li's pheromones bypassed him and also separated him from Tang Kaiyuan's pheromones. Very few of them could affect Lu Zhao.
Tang Kaiyuan's face showed a trace of embarrassment, mixed with the anger that had not yet completely subsided, making him look a little bit wolfish.
Bai Li chuckled twice, and Tang Kaiyuan opened his mouth but said nothing. He remembered that his father had repeatedly mentioned not to cause trouble before the legion selection.
The three people standing here, including Lu Zhao, were all wearing the uniforms of the First Legion. Judging from the accessories, the level of the alpha who just spoke seemed to be no lower than Lu Zhao. Tang Kaiyuan regretted not resisting Bai Li's provocation. This was not the same scene he had imagined.
He had always subconsciously felt that Bai Li was the one who got angry first.
During the stalemate, the omega in the car finally spoke up: "Kaiyuan, it's getting late."
Bai Li looked over and saw Kuai Le sitting in the back seat. The omega Bai Li and Lu Zhao were not familiar with the co-pilot. The pheromone clash just now made the omega in the car feel uncomfortable. At this moment, his eyes swept over Bai Li and Lu Zhao, and finally stopped at Tang Kaiyuan.
"Sorry, you must have been waiting impatiently." Tang Kaiyuan turned around and said a few words of comfort, showing guilt, "I was a little impulsive just now. Did I scare you?"
The omega in the car shook his head impatiently: "When are we leaving?"
Tang Kaiyuan said hurriedly: "Now, I have roughly thought of the gifts. You and Lele go and see if there is anything they like."
After he finished speaking, he apologized to Han Miao and Chen Nan, and belatedly introduced himself. Then when he looked at Bai Lishi, his face was peaceful again. Tang Kaiyuan said, "Mr. Bai, the misunderstanding between us is too deep. We can no longer sit down and talk properly."
"I agree," Bai Li nodded, "It's better to say less nonsense."
"I have always wanted to exchange ideas with Mr. Bai, but unfortunately, I think we have no chance to compete in the legion." Tang Kaiyuan smiled gently, "But I have recently planned to participate in Mr. Lin Sheng's mecha research and development. I believe we will meet at the exhibition soon."
In the original book, Tang Kaiyuan did not seem to be involved in the mecha research and development. The plot seemed to have deviated again. Bai Li frowned slightly.
Bai Li's expression made Tang Kaiyuan feel much better. He opened the car door with Bai Li's footprints on it, and looked back at Lu Zhao before sitting in the driver's seat: "I apologize for my recklessness today, Lu Zhao. We didn't have a good chat on the cruise before. Next time we will have a good chat. I also want to hear how you realized your childhood dream."
After a pause, Tang Kaiyuan added: "Although our relationship is a little different from before, if you need help, "No need for support, the Tang family will still be your backer."
After saying that, he glanced at Bai Li with a warning. He had not forgotten Bai Li's rude behavior on the cruise ship. Combined with the rumors of this disharmonious marriage, Tang Kaiyuan felt a little guilty. If he had returned to the main planet earlier, perhaps Lu Zhao would not have...
Just after he finished speaking, he heard Lu Zhao say lightly: "No need."
It was unclear whether he was saying no need for support, no need for help, or no need to have anything to do with him. Tang Kaiyuan looked at Lu Zhao in a daze. He was poured cold water by the coldness on Lu Zhao's face. The smile on Lu Zhao's face when he was talking to Bai Li a few minutes ago seemed to be just an illusion.
He didn't think about it anymore. The omega in the car was urging him to get on the road quickly.
Bai Li had not come back to his senses from his thoughts until the suspended car covered with footprints drove away for a long time.
From the moment Bai Li learned that his leg injury indirectly caused Yang Han to have no chance to join the Imperial Research Institute, he realized that the plot began to change significantly. This change brought an unpredictable future.
Lu Zhao also heard about the development of mechas and was a little worried: "Bai Li--"
"Look at it," Bai Li frowned and muttered softly, "I said that the collar of my clothes is still too high."
Lu Zhao: "..." You are really good.
Bai Li said: "Hey, do you think that little bastard Tang is blind?"
Lu Zhao: "Can you please not be so..." Unable to find words, Bai Li made people speechless.
"What's going on? What's the situation!" Han Miao asked, "Why did he come to the army? To find Lu Zhao? Why did he start to curse at Mr. Bai?"
Chen Nan subconsciously glanced at Bai Li's collar, coughed, and poked Han Miao in the back.
Han Miao was caught off guard and screamed "Ah".
Bai Li laughed and didn't explain too much.
While enjoying the unprecedented comfort, he was thinking that he and Situ's mechas really had to speed up.
"Bai Li," Lu Zhao lowered his voice, "as for the mecha, is it in the original trajectory?"
As soon as he saw Bai Li's expression at the time, he knew that something seemed to be wrong.
Bai Li shook his head, and seeing Lu Zhao frown, he smiled and nudged Lu Zhao with his arm.
"It's okay, I dare not say anything else," Bai Li said, "No one is better than me when it comes to mecha."
Lu Zhao glanced at him.
Bai Li immediately stated his position: "Except my brother, the major general."
Lu Zhao couldn't help but chuckled.
The plot turned in a direction, involving mecha, which was Bai Li's home court.
Bai Li was not afraid of anyone here.
It might be an illusion, but Tang Kaiyuan always felt that this car with footprints was driving on the road, and everyone was looking at him.
He didn't like this feeling, just like the feeling when he fought with Bai Li several times as a child and was knocked to the ground.
The narrow space in the car was filled with Tang Kaiyuan's anxious pheromones. Kuai Le shrank his neck slightly in discomfort: "Kaiyuan, don't be angry, control your pheromones."
Tang Kaiyuan usually indulges himself with his pheromones, and there is always a faint smell floating around. But because of his own peace, those pheromones are more soothing and attractive to omegas, unlike now, which are full of impatience and anger.
"I told you I didn't want to come here, but you insisted on coming here, saying that there are fun things in the store here," An Lun crossed his arms and was unhappy, "and ended up meeting your brother, and you insisted on going up to say hello, I don't know what you want."
An Lun is Tang Kaiyuan's first partner, and also a small noble from the affiliated star who saved him when he was in trouble.
She is beautiful, but a little arrogant. Tang Kaiyuan usually liked his straightforward personality, but today he found his words irritating: "Xiao Lun, you don't know that Bai Li is unreliable. I'm worried that Lu Zhao will be bullied."
"Are you worried?" An Lun was unhappy. "Does it have anything to do with you?"
Tang Kaiyuan patiently explained, "We are childhood friends. If it weren't for his physical condition, we might have been married. Although we don't have this relationship now, I can't let him be destroyed by Bai Li..."
An Lun was even more unhappy when he talked about marriage. He really liked Tang Kaiyuan. When he thought of his engagement with Lu Zhao, An Lun felt very uncomfortable.
Tang Kaiyuan stretched out his hand and pinched An Lun's cheek: "Oh, you jealous little thing. He and I are childhood friends. You have seen Bai Li's look. Don't you think Lu Zhao shouldn't marry that kind of person?"
The moment his fingers touched her skin, she felt numb. An Lun lowered her eyes, her cheeks slightly red, her mind a little confused, and she spoke: "Well, your brother is indeed a bit..."
"He is not my brother!" Tang Kaiyuan's voice became a little heavier.
An Lun came back to her senses and pouted: "If he is not, then he is not. Why are you yelling?"
Usually used to his gentle smile, An Lun and Kuai Le were a little uncomfortable at this moment. They felt that Tang Kaiyuan was different from other A's, mainly because of his arrogance and tolerance towards them, but after a long time, they were not sure where Tang Kaiyuan's bottom line was.
"Besides," An Lun muttered softly, "I don't know who is bullying whom. I have never seen an alpha that can leave marks on an omega like that."
Tang Kaiyuan was stunned: "What?"
His tone was a bit heavy, and An Lun was angry and kept silent. Kuai Le added: "The neck! Mr. Bai Li's neck is all..."
Just now he was busy competing with Bai Li and really didn't notice these details. Tang Kaiyuan listened to Kuai Le's words in a trance, but what appeared in his mind was Lu Zhao's cold face.
It turns out that such a proud person is also possessive.
A layer of gloom covered his deep facial features.
"Xiao Lun, last time you contacted your father, he said he would help me find a way to stabilize my mental power. How come there is no news yet?" Tang Kaiyuan tugged at his collar irritably.
An Lun's lips moved, but he swallowed the words back. After a while, he said, "I'll urge him again today. He will definitely have a way. You were so badly injured at that time, but it was my father who cured you!"
It was true. Tang Kaiyuan's expression eased a little, and he said "hmm".
His confrontation with Bai Li today once again confirmed the doubts in his heart.
The instability of his mental power made it impossible for him to accurately control pheromones. The chaotic pheromones could not play a real role at all, and he couldn't even compress pheromones like Bai Li did.
This won't do. If he continues like this, he won't be able to drive the mecha developed by Lin Sheng.
Tang Kaiyuan took a deep breath, ignored An Lun's protest, and drove to a nearby car dealership.
He was tired of Bai Li's footprints on the car, just like he was tired of the mark Bai Li left on his life when he was young.
The research institute was still as busy as ever. As soon as Bai Li stepped into the door of the sixth laboratory, Situ came over with a data tablet.
"It has been readjusted in the past few days. You can try it first." Situ handed the helmet to Bai Li.
Bai Li took the helmet and said as he walked, "I met Tang Kaiyuan today."
Situ: "Why?"
"He said he wanted to participate in Lin Sheng's mecha research and development," Bai Li said, "He should compete with us for the joint research and development quota of the Imperial Research Institute next year."
Situ: "He has no experience and qualifications in research and development. Is he going to participate as a driver?"
Bai Li nodded.
"Shit," Situ cursed, "I really don't want to compete with the Lin family."
Although the public recruitment of the Imperial Research Institute is fair and transparent, once the royal family is involved, no one can guarantee that it will be fair.
Situ didn't want to waste the hard work of several years of research and development.
The assistants around him were also somewhat disappointed.
Bai Li glanced at Situ, and nudged him with his body, causing Teacher Si to stagger.
"I spent so much money and didn't say anything, why are you so anxious?" Bai Li turned around and dodged Situ's fist, "Just focus on your work and give me the most satisfactory mecha."
Situ was about to curse, but was stunned when he heard the second half of the sentence: "You really...you really want to be a driver?"
Bai Li said, "What else?"
Situ didn't say anything. He was not sure whether Bai Li could withstand the heavy pressure brought to his body by the mecha after several trials.
Although the purpose of developing this mecha is to open up a way for people like Bai Li who are physically disabled or have high mental strength but weak bodies. But after all, it is still in the development stage, and no one can predict what unstable things will happen.
On the large virtual screen in the sixth research room, a blue mecha was projected in the air.
Bai Li raised his head. The background of the virtual screen was a vast starry sky. The mecha floated in the galaxy, and stardust rubbed the blue spray paint of the fuselage, coating it with spots of light.
Tang Kaiyuan's provocation today was like a spark, jumping into Bai Li's brain and burning his blood.
The plot has been changed, and Bai Li will no longer sit and wait for death.
He still has a lot to do.
"We have invested too much time in this mecha. I am not young anymore. The age requirement of the first-line army is upper limit." Bai Li looked at the mecha and said softly, "I don't have time to do it again, and I can't wait any longer."
He has been silent for too many years, and he almost forgot the thrill of the mecha traveling through the universe.
Every time Bai Li got on the simulation warehouse and entered the virtual space, he hoped that he had returned to the depths of the galaxy.
He told Lu Zhao that he could accept the regret brought by the failure of research and development, and this sentence was not a lie.
But he did not tell Lu Zhao that the expectation in his heart had already swelled in the silence year after year. He is not only the developer Bai Li who hopes that this mecha can become a way for many people, but also the major general Bai who still has a fire burning in his heart.
This is very contradictory, but Bai Li has no choice. He can't wait for this mecha to be completely developed and stabilized, he must make a desperate effort.
He wants to drive this mecha to the battle arena of the Kingdom of Heaven Research Institute himself. He is the most suitable driver, no one else.
Situ's lips moved, and after a long pause, he said: "I know."
I know your thoughts, and I also know that there will never be a second choice.
"There is still some time, speed up and increase the number of experiments," Bai Li turned his head and patted Situ on the shoulder, "Give me the best mecha, this time Major General Bai will take you flying."
He put his arm on Situ's shoulder, just like when he was in the military academy.
Damn, Situ thought, this guy's mouth is not in vain, he is so damn good at talking.
Situ was moved when he heard Bai Li coughed twice.
After a while, seeing that Situ did not move, Bai Li coughed twice again.
Situ looked at him inexplicably. The two were very close. He turned his head and saw the faint marks on Bai Li's neck wrapped in a high-collared shirt.
"Hey, that," Situ did not react, "the one on your neck is..."
Bai Li said in a clear voice: "Yes! Yes!"
Situ: "..."
Dog is just one word, it looks like you.
