The restorative nutrient solution with analgesic effect made Bai Li sleep unsteadily. He kept pushing towards Lu Zhao while

half asleep and half awake. Major General Lu was woken up by the squeezing in the early morning. Bai Li buried himself in the quilt, with his head against his back. He turned over and patted Bai Li gently. Bai Li could feel it, but he couldn't open his eyes and mumbled "hmm" twice.

Maybe because the temporary marking effect was still there, Lu Zhao's pheromones had some soothing effect on Bai Li. He instinctively put his head into Lu Zhao's arms when Lu Zhao turned over to face him.

Lu Zhao had lived alone for too long, and basically didn't remember what it felt like to sleep with someone in his arms. But when Bai Li's arm came up to him, he still felt a little bit of sadness and peace in the sound of the early morning rain.

"Flowers," Bai Li muttered with his eyes closed, half asleep and half awake, "Did I wake you up, Lu Zhao?"

Lu Zhao closed his eyes and replied, "No, you were dreaming."

Bai Li laughed vaguely twice and fell asleep in the smell of grass and the sound of rain.

He slept until the next morning without changing his position.

The person was lying on the bedside table, and there were several rapid sounds. Bai Li covered his head with the quilt, touched the side of his body with one hand, and then opened his eyes and sat up.

The bedroom door was ajar, and there was the sound of someone walking around. Bai Li paused for a few seconds before he remembered that Lu Zhao had to go to the military corps for a meeting this morning, and he had already gotten up and washed up.

He slept a little groggy this time, and Bai Li reached for the personal terminal by the neck to answer the call.

"Are you awake?" Jiang Hao's big face appeared on the virtual screen.

Bai Li rubbed his eyes unhappily: "No, I received the call while sleepwalking."

"Then listen to it while sleepwalking," Jiang Hao said with a smile, "Did you check StarNet?"

Bai Li found a comfortable position to lean back: "I don't have the time. Married people are busier at night. You don't understand, I don't blame you."

Jiang Hao didn't respond for a long time. After a long while, he cursed: "Can you stop reminding me that I'm single every day?"

After a few words with Jiang Hao, Bai Li's mind was completely clear: "How is it, is the effect strong?"

"Strong, it's a big deal," Jiang Hao said, "Gao Hai's inside information was exposed because of that recording, and Lin Sheng was also in trouble. He must have had a hard sleep last night."

Bai Li was very satisfied to hear the good news early in the morning: "Okay, I'll open a small account later to like the posts of those who scolded him one by one."

"No, just focus on the game, let me handle this kind of thing, I have several small accounts." Jiang Haoyong acted like a sailor and asked, "But where did you get the recording? It won't cause any trouble, right?" "

There are surveillance cameras in public places like the backstage of the opening ceremony, and there are robots with surveillance and recording functions." Bai Li stretched his waist, ruffled his hair, and said casually, "I didn't do it, I just let someone say a few words backstage. Gao's family has offended many people, and besides me, there are people who don't like them. I guess someone hacked into the surveillance robot and adjusted the recording."

Jiang Hao was a bit blindly obedient to Bai Li, which was also a sequelae of being an adjutant in the past few years. Hearing Bai Li say this, he felt relieved and nodded and said, "Just keep it in mind."

"Lin Sheng can't deny his relationship with Gao's family, so let's investigate him. When the time is right, we can throw out the rumor that he favored heavy armor in the collection competition." Bai Li leaned on the pillow and yawned.

Bai Li felt that he was very tired from the competition, probably because the world consciousness had not completely disappeared.

The plot has actually deviated from the track by a thousand miles, but it is still interfering with Bai Li's way forward. This feeling is the strongest when three competitions are played in a row at the refresh point that leads directly to the underworld.

He might have tolerated it in the past, but now that the good days have lasted too long, Bai Li can't stand it anymore.

That's enough, is it never going to end? You have to make him unhappy, right?

Fine, forget about it.

Jiang Hao is very happy, he hopes Lin Sheng will be unlucky. He chatted with Bai Li for a few more words until Lu Zhao opened the bedroom door.

"Are you awake?" Lu Zhao took out the military uniform from the closet and put it on, saying, "It's still early, you can sleep a little longer."

Bai Li rolled on the bed: "Oh, no, I can't sleep."

He rolled very skillfully, and Lu Zhao wanted to laugh. He stretched out his hand and rubbed Bai Li's head buried in the quilt: "Jiang Hao?"

"Yeah," Bai Li took the opportunity to pull Lu Zhao, and pulled the neatly dressed Major General Lu to fall on the bed, pressed on him and kissed him twice, "Tell me that Lin Sheng is going to be in trouble."

Bai Li mentioned this matter before going to bed yesterday, and Lu Zhao knew: "You want me to help--"

"Help me get the instant biscuits and juice I bought yesterday," Bai Li said lazily, "I'm hungry, so eat before going to the Legion."

Lu Zhao said "hmm" after a while.

During this time, he found that he could not help.

Feeling a little frustrated, Lu Zhao tried to get up to get the things, but was strangled by Bai Li's octopus.

"Get up." Lu Zhao was helpless, turned over to face Bai Li, and wanted to push him up.

"Oh, I don't want to move," Bai Li closed his eyes and smelled the smell on his body, "or you can carry me to the living room on your back and find a stool to carry me on."

"Are you considered staying in bed?" Lu Zhao asked.

"Well, I've had trouble getting up since I was a kid," Bai Li said confidently, "I got better after being beaten by my grandfather."

Lu Zhao was a little curious: "

You had to be beaten for this?" "You haven't been beaten before?" Bai Li opened his eyes, "You haven't experienced this kind of beating?"

Lu Zhao thought for a moment and said, "I have."

"Tell me more about it." Bai Li was in high spirits. Major General Lu had been a good kid since he was a kid. This was the first time Bai Li had talked about this. "Why did you get beaten?"

"When I was a kid, before I went to school," Lu Zhao said calmly, "I had a fight with another kid, and my father was very angry, so he beat me."

Bai Li was very interested: "How did he beat you? Did it hurt?" Lu Zhao

looked at him.

"Hey, I'm asking you," Bai Li said, "Where did he hit you?"

Lu Zhao didn't say anything, staring at Bai Li's face.

"I--" Bai Li suddenly felt a hit on his butt. He was stunned for a moment. After a few seconds, he uttered a word from his throat, "...Fuck?"

"Hit here." Major General Lu pushed Bai Li away easily this time, stood up and straightened his uniform, "Does it hurt?"

It took Bai Li a long time to react to what had just happened.

After he reacted, his face turned red almost instantly, and the tips of his ears seemed to be cooked, almost sending out two strings of hot smoke.

"Steamed biscuits and juice, right?" Lu Zhao asked, but he didn't get a response from Bai Li, who was dumbfounded, so he had to walk out of the bedroom and closed the door considerately to give Master Bai some time to recover.

Before the door was about to close, Bai Li's roar came from inside: "Do you fucking know how old I am?! I've never spanked my buttocks!"

Lu Zhao closed the door and laughed for several minutes before he could find steamed biscuits and juice in the freezer.

This slap completely knocked Master Bai off the bed, but the blush on his face could not be removed. Even after heating up breakfast, the red tips of his ears could be seen under his hair.

Lu Zhao sat in his seat and looked at him for a long time, then filled Bai Li's cup with juice.

Bai Li was overwhelmed by the clumsy flattery. He started laughing halfway through chewing the pie in his mouth, and it took him a lot of effort to swallow it down.

"Oh," Bai Li sighed, "It's so embarrassing."

"It's not embarrassing," Lu Zhao consoled him a little stiffly, "It was just a slap."

Bai Li was almost choked by his comfort, "Eat!"

Lu Zhao continued to eat his piece of pie.

After a long while, Bai Li was heard asking in a very low voice: "How is it, does it feel good?"

Lu Zhao coughed.

"It looks good." Master Bai succeeded in his revenge and finished his breakfast happily.

Breakfast was a bit ridiculous, but at least they were both in a good mood after eating.

Bai Li stood in the entrance and watched Lu Zhao change his shoes. Major General Lu's movements were very neat and he put them on in two or three steps.

"You have a meeting in the morning, right?" Bai Li asked, "Are you going to watch the game in the afternoon?"

Lu Zhao stood up: "Yes, drive directly from the Corps."

"Oh." Bai Li nodded, and waited for Lu Zhao to open the door of the apartment before asking again, "Are you going to pick me up backstage today?"

Lu Zhao turned his head and looked at him: "Yes."

Bai Li smiled.

This smile made Lu Zhao a little dazed, a little like the vague smile of Bai Li when she squeezed beside him in the night of Ling Chen.

Lu Zhao walked out the door, and then walked back suddenly.

In the surprised eyes of Bai Li, he hugged him tightly.

"I'm in the audience," Lu Zhao's lips rubbed Bai Li's earlobe, "watching you."

Bai Li's heart fell on a solid ground, and the drowsy dreams of the whole night disappeared. The discomfort of recalling the details of the original work yesterday was also crushed by this fierce hug.

This is different from the feeling of knowing that Lin Sheng was unlucky. That was the joy of floating in the air, and now this is the solidity of landing on the ground.

He is happy to stay with me. Bai Li said to himself, don't be pretentious and don't think too much, just enjoy his kindness to me.

Bai Li said to himself: I deserve it.

After the morning meeting, they continued their activities at the training ground until noon. The army held an extra meeting, and Lu Zhao and Huo Cun arrived five minutes before the meeting.

Jiang Hao and Han Miao had been waiting in the conference room for a long time, and they reserved a seat for Lu Zhao.

"Something may have happened," Jiang Hao whispered, "The news just came in, a five-member team found something on the barren planet." The

five-member team is usually the vanguard team that explores undeveloped barren planets. Lu Zhao said, "Energy or something else?"

"No," Jiang Hao's face was not very good, "They suspect that there are insect tribes on that barren planet."

"Nonsense?" Huo Cun whispered, "Hasn't the insect tribe been suppressed by the empire so much that they can't be found?"

Lu Zhao frowned because he hadn't heard the word "insect tribe" for many years.

The Empire has been in a stable development stage in recent years. There have been no major battles, and the whole environment is relatively peaceful. The last major battle with the Zerg has been over a decade ago. The Empire won the victory based on the iron fist of the mecha and the sacrifice of countless people.

Jiang Hao said, "But it shouldn't be a big deal for the time being, just let us prepare in advance." He paused, "You may have to speed up. This kind of exploration mission is your strong point. The higher-ups may still prefer you to lead the team."

This also means that the extension that Lu Zhao just applied for may be in vain.

The meeting will start soon. This kind of impromptu meeting usually only talks about the key points. As soon as the face of the military admiral appeared on the large virtual screen, Lu Zhao guessed that what Jiang Hao said was true.

Sure enough, the admiral briefly explained what happened on the deserted planet in just a few words. The atmosphere in the conference room was a bit heavy. Several major generals were a bit nervous, but there was also a hint of excitement.

Fighting means more opportunities, greater honor, and whether there will be one more Kali flower on the chest.

Lu Zhao knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had come the moment he heard the word "Zerg" come out of the admiral's mouth. He was already bored with the position of major general. The failure of the internal recommendation in the mecha recruitment competition brought him a greater sense of frustration than he had imagined.

But he didn't want to leave the main planet.

At least not now.

Fortunately, the upper management did not intend to add more people to the front line for the time being, but only notified the first and second legions to prepare for battle. In the middle of the meeting, several names were called out. Lu Zhao and Han Miao were both on the list. It was not stated explicitly, but Lu Zhao knew that this meant that they would be asked to lead the team.

It was already past twelve o'clock when they came out of the conference room. Han Miao had to give up watching the game this afternoon because of another mission. As a senior military officer, Jiang Hao had to stay for another small meeting and go to the main stadium later.

Lu Zhao glanced at the time and strode towards his suspension vehicle.

"Major General, Major General!" Huo Cun trotted behind him, "Take me with you. I really couldn't leave yesterday. I must catch up with the game this afternoon."

Lu Zhao turned around and looked at him.

"White powder!" Huo Cun clenched his fist, "For real!"

Since they had to go to the main competition area anyway, Lu Zhao nodded and Huo Cun sat in the driver's seat.

"Are you really going to watch?" Lu Zhao sat in the co-pilot seat and looked at Huo Cun in surprise, "Are you done with the work?"

Huo Cun and Bai Li were always arguing with each other about playing games, but Lu Zhao knew that Huo Cun was still optimistic about Bai Li's mecha, and he had asked about it a few times when he was free. He just didn't expect that Huo Cun was so enthusiastic and insisted on going to watch the game in person.

"I'll work overtime when I get back in the evening." Huo Cun waved his hand, not caring much about the complicated work of an adjutant like him. "There's no work to be done after the game." He then said, "I watched the live broadcast of yesterday's game. Wow, white01 is so strong. I don't know if the event committee will produce a model. I will definitely buy it."

Lu Zhao wanted to laugh: "You really like it."

"I like it, of course I like it." Huo Cun answered without hesitation. When he saw Lu Zhao looking at him, he smiled and sighed, "I really hope that the white01 model can be produced."

He drove the car onto the elevated road, paused for a few seconds before saying: "Major General, do you know how many times I have taken the military mecha driving qualification test?" He gestured, "Eight times."

Lu Zhao was stunned. It was the first time he heard it.

"The first two times it was because I lacked experience, and later it was because I lost to Alpha in heavy armor combat, lacked endurance, and could not withstand the long-term pressure of heavy armor on the body." Huo Cun said slowly, "I spent a lot of time getting used to the pressure. During this period, many of my peers transferred to other positions or went to the local military corps because they could not stand it. There are not so strict levels of driving qualifications."

Lu Zhao didn't know how to respond, so he could only say "um".

"I know you passed it in one try, and the talent type player is so lucky." Huo Cun patted the steering wheel.

The talent type player Major General Lu had nothing to say.

"But I have nothing to complain about. I am still a beta after all," Huo Cun said. "But I just thought at that time that if the threshold of mecha was a little lower, just a little bit, maybe people like me would have more opportunities."

The car drove quickly on the elevated road, flying all the way to the main stadium.

Lu Zhao looked at the scenery flashing outside the window, thinking about what Huo Cun said.

After thinking about Huo Cun, he thought about Si Dong at the research institute that day, and then he found that he still remembered what Zhou Linshan looked like.

He realized that he didn't care about these things, but he knew from the beginning that it was useless to think too much. Lu Zhao was a small person and couldn't change anything. He had to make great efforts just to get to where he is today, and he really didn't have extra energy to give to others.

Most people are exhausted just by supporting themselves, and they don't have the energy to help others. This is actually a wise choice.

You can't say they are wrong, they are not dragging anyone down, but walking with their own strength. This is already quite rare.

Those who are willing to lend a hand to others while exhausting themselves seem a little stupid, a little whimsical, and a little overestimating their own abilities.

But they are especially precious.

We will always need such precious fools.

Lu Zhao closed his eyes, and at this moment he wanted to go to waste.

The game was quite exciting, and the cheers in the stadium could be faintly heard even if you were standing near the parking lot.

It was Huo Cun's first time to watch such a live competition. The feeling was different from watching a live broadcast. He could be infected by the cheers in the venue and was quite excited: "It has already started, right? We won't be late, right? Is it too late to go in now?"

"Bai Li's competition is scheduled later, so we can make it in time." Lu Zhao maneuvered the car into the parking lot, but his eyes did not move away from the personal terminal.

He just sent a text message to Bai Li saying that he had arrived.

Half a minute later, Bai Li replied with a photo. He was wearing a competition suit, with water drops on his face and bangs.

Lu Zhao glanced at him for a few times:?

Bai Li replied: In order to ease the tension, I told Teacher Si a joke.

Bai Li: He was drinking water at the time.

The face of Mr. Bai in the photo was not diminished by the water drops. When Liu Haier pulled it up, he still looked handsome and arrogant.

Lu Zhao laughed twice and put away his phone.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Huo Cun's face full of resentment.

"How can this be," Huo Cun was unhappy. "You have to send a text message before the game. It's just two seconds, right?"

Lu Zhao didn't care much. He took Huo Cun to the entrance and said as he walked, "Yeah."

"...I asked you in vain." Huo Cun patted his mouth, "I shouldn't use interrogative sentences."

The afternoon game had already started. There were not many people at the entrance. Lu Zhao and Huo Cun opened their respective admission tickets and walked to the door.

When he got closer, he saw a person standing at the entrance, looking around. He was barefoot, holding high heels in his hands, wearing a dress that looked expensive, and wearing a pair of exaggerated sunglasses.

"What's wrong with this person?" Huo Cun looked at the cloudy sky above his head. "Is it necessary to wear sunglasses in this weather?"

Lu Zhao looked at the person for a while and walked straight past.

The person standing at the door was looking inside when he heard someone behind him shouting, "Mrs. Tang."

"Oh!" The sneaky Mrs. Tang was startled, and the hand holding the sunglasses shook, causing the sunglasses to tilt on the bridge of her nose, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes.

Lu Zhao stood behind her, looking at the eyes that were 80% similar to Bai Li, and was silent for a few seconds: "Watching the game?"

"Ah... um," Mrs. Tang recognized Lu Zhao, and was a little embarrassed, and whispered, "I saw on Star Network that Lili... Mr. Bai has a game this afternoon, so I wanted to..."

"His game is scheduled later," Lu Zhao said, "It's still in time to go in now."

Mrs. Tang's expression was a little embarrassed: "I do want to go in, but..."

"I guess it's not possible to buy tickets," Huo Cun also followed, and after a brief greeting to Mrs. Tang, he whispered to Lu Zhao, "It's quite difficult to buy tickets. They are only provided to people in military academies and legions. It's not easy for others."

Lu Zhao said nothing, his eyes swept over Mrs. Tang's bare feet.

No one knew how she got to the main stadium. She probably stood at the door for a long time. Her feet hurt from standing in high heels for so long, so she took them off and walked slowly.

Noticing Lu Zhao's gaze, Mrs. Tang quickly put on her shoes, coughed and said, "Major General Lu Zhao, Mr. Adjutant, you go in first! I, I will contact my friends later, and they must have tickets."

This face that looked very similar to Bai Li had flushed red because of shyness and panic. Lu Zhao suddenly understood Bai Li's helplessness when he mentioned Bai Ying.

If she could get a ticket, she wouldn't have stood at the door for so long.

You say she doesn't care about her son, but she came to watch the game. She came but didn't have a ticket, and she didn't want to leave even though she didn't have a ticket.

Shirazakura seems to have lived her whole life in contradiction and hesitation, in a daze, unable to find a goal and without any ability to find a solution.

Lu Zhao actually didn't have any great feelings for Bai Ying. He felt that Bai Ying was like an anomaly in the Bai family. She had neither the iron-blooded perseverance of Old Master Bai nor the unrestrained and upright character of Bai Li.

Compared with them, Bai Ying was a completely worldly person. She lived a mediocre life, not knowing the difference between day and night, just getting by and retreating when faced with difficulties.

In Bai Li's words, she would stop as soon as she felt pain.

Lu Zhao usually didn't have any feelings for such people.

But Lu Zhao knew one thing, if Bai Ying came to watch the game, Bai Li might be happy.

Bai Li himself didn't realize it, but Lu Zhao felt that he had more feelings for Bai Ying than he thought. This kind of feeling is very subtle. Perhaps it is because of the lack of family affection that Bai Li finds it hard to let go of even a little bit of warmth. Li Li

is so sentimental.

"Go in," Lu Zhao said, "I'll borrow the admission ticket from a friend." He took out his personal terminal to contact Han Miao. Han Miao was on a mission on a satellite planet this afternoon and had no time to come to the scene or watch the live broadcast. He quickly made a one-time copy of the admission ticket and sent it to her.

Mrs. Tang was stunned for a moment, then showed a happy smile: "Is it okay? It won't cause you any trouble, right?"

"Watch the game," Lu Zhao said lightly, "Bai Li is very good."

With the admission tickets, the three of them entered the main arena and sat in the audience seats under the guidance of Lu Zhao. Huo Cun's seat happened to be nearby, so he specially asked someone to change seats and sat behind Lu Zhao.

Chen Nan came by himself today and had already watched a show. Seeing Lu Zhao bringing Huo Cun and a strange omega, he greeted: "Are you here? Who is this?"

"Mrs. Tang." Lu Zhao introduced briefly, "This is my colleague, Chen Nan."

Mrs. Tang hurriedly stretched out her hand to shake hands with Chen Nan, and smiled gently: "Hello."

"Hello, hello..." Chen Nan's eyes stayed on Mrs. Tang's face for a few seconds. This face looked very much like Bai Li, and he suddenly realized, "Tang! Oh, you are Bai Li's--"

He didn't finish his words, and Huo Cun poked him quietly with his elbow.

The relationship between the Tang family and the Bai family is indeed a bit complicated. Chen Nan smiled awkwardly.

"I came to watch Mr. Bai's competition," Mrs. Tang didn't want to embarrass Chen Nan, so she hurriedly smiled and said, "

It's thanks to Major General Lu that we can get in." Chen Nan also smiled: "Then you must be a die-hard Bai Li fan."

"What?" The shouting was so loud around that Mrs. Tang couldn't hear clearly.

"Bai Li fans!" Chen Nan said with a hoarse voice, "It means everyone supports Bai Li!"

Mrs. Tang sat in her seat, and after a few seconds, she answered in a louder voice than usual: "Yes!"

The sound of metal collision rang out, indicating that the new round of competition would start in ten minutes.

The projection of a heavy mecha flashed from the starlight. This was one of the participating mechas in this competition. The commentator shouted out the name of the model and the driver loudly, which won the cheers of the audience who liked this mecha, and some people blew a few whistles.

Then, the main stage was filled with starlight, and a dark blue mecha appeared on the holographic projection.

"--White01 model," the commentator's excited voice echoed in the main arena, "It's the fourth game!"

Mrs. Tang sat nervously in her seat, her body stiff, her heart pounding. She had never been to such an occasion, but she knew that the moment this familiar mecha appeared, the audience around her burst into applause, and the flashing lights of the suspended robot were as bright as stars.

"This is the model that Bai Li will drive," Lu Zhao, who had not spoken much, said beside her, pointing to one side of the main stage, "He will enter from there and sit in the simulated warehouse on the right."

"Okay," Mrs. Tang clenched her fists, "Okay."

She didn't know what she was saying.

But it's good.

Lu Zhao crossed his arms and stopped talking to Mrs. Tang.

He didn't tell Bai Li that Bai Ying came to the main arena. This grandson is very sensitive, and Lu Zhao is afraid that it will affect him.

This may be the first time that Bai Ying saw Bai Li in such an occasion, and he didn't know she was there.

This is Bai Li in the eyes of others, living in the universe and the starry sky, living in cheers and applause, and living in supporters.

The commentator has introduced the driver of the first team to enter, and then shouted: "-The driver of the other side's white01 model, Bai Li!"

Chen Nan and Huo Cun shouted "Ah", but it seemed quite normal amid the cheers of others.

Mrs. Tang stood up and looked at the main stage.

A man in a race suit and helmet walked onto the main stage, the spotlight followed him, and every step sent up dust.

Bai Li stood on the main stage and raised his thumb toward the audience.

Everyone in the audience had already formed a tacit understanding from the first day of the competition, and many of them raised their thumbs in return.

"Here he comes!" someone shouted, "Major General Bai!"
