Chapter 9



That day, a photo set off the entertainment section of the Empire Forum.

Countless omegas shed tears. The impact of idols getting married and showing affection with idols can basically maintain the same level.

Countless alphas were disappointed. The Eagle of the Empire fell into the hands of disabled veteran A. His hand had not been broken yet. If he had not been afraid of the iron fist and worked hard before, maybe he could have held hands.

Countless betas looked at the photo and said, "Bai Li is really coquettish. He took a hand-holding photo and added a circle of pink hearts. Ugh."

When Bai Li's blog was filled with forum users, he and Lu Zhao were squeezed in the kitchen peeling potatoes.

The personal terminal was set to artificial intelligence and was reading the comments on the forum post, with a very enthusiastic tone: "'This damn Bai Li, let go of your dog paws!'"

Bai Li laughed wildly, his hands shaking so much that he couldn't hold the paring knife.

Lu Zhao looked at him and thought that this man didn't know what was wrong with him. He built his happiness on the wrath of others every day.

The artificial intelligence read again: "'Don't think you are happy now, the major general will break your hand in a while!'"

"Fuck," Bai Li said, "this is your die-hard fan, Xianhua, and knows you too well."

Lu Zhao: "..."

The artificial intelligence continued to read: "'After recognizing the reality, I actually think that Major General Lu Zhao and Bai Li are together It's not bad...'"

Bai Li peeled potatoes.

Lu Zhao also peeled potatoes.

Bai Li said, "I'm used to being scolded, so I'm a little uncomfortable with such a compliment."

"..." Lu Zhao was speechless, and after a few seconds, he said, "I didn't hear a single word of complimenting you."

Bai Li remained calm: "If you didn't scold me, you were complimenting me."

OK, I'm very open-minded. This was

the first time that Lu Zhao sincerely admired someone for being "open-minded."

The artificial intelligence read again: "'My friend wants to ask if your nightlife is exciting and harmonious!'"

Bai Li and Lu Zhao: "Fuck."

Bai Li put the peeled potatoes in a bowl on the side and sighed: "Young people's minds are very open these two years. Not only do they know excitement, they also know harmony."

Lu Zhao glanced at him and lowered his head to peel potatoes.

After a while, Lu Zhao glanced at him again.

Bai Li was a little scared: "Xianhua, can you just speak your mind? We are friendly forces, what can't we talk about?"

Lu Zhao said: "I think this person asked this because the military is saying that you are not good in that aspect."

Bai Li was struck by lightning.

Lu Zhao said: "They talked about it the day after the wedding, I guess everyone in the military knows about it by now."

Bai Li was torn.

When it comes to this, Lu Zhao feels a little guilty: "I will compensate you."

"How are you going to compensate me?" Bai Li was still in shock, "Buy me the latest type of hyperactive nutritional solution?"

Lu Zhao: "..."

Lu Zhao asked tentatively: "Do you want it?"

Bai Li almost crushed the potato in his hand: "I'm very healthy!"

"Oh." Lu Zhao nodded, rinsed his hands with potato skins under the water, and went to get his personal terminal.

Bai Li asked: "Xianhua, what do you want to do?"

"Explain it for you," Lu Zhao logged into his blog, "Write a statement."

Bai Li thought, good guy, this is trying to kill me.

He hurried over to stop her: "How do you explain this? How can an omega make a statement saying that his alpha is actually very brave and his nightlife is very harmonious?"

Lu Zhao: "... I haven't figured out how to make a statement yet, and you've already written the words for me."

"Fuck," Bai Li was amused and laughed, "Xianhua, you're quite a real person."

Stopped by Bai Li, Lu Zhao didn't have any opinions and closed his personal terminal: "I don't really understand these. Huo Cun said that posting some daily photos would be useful, so I posted them. Later, Han Miao said that I don't have a daily life, so I think I can make a statement."

It took Bai Li a few seconds to react. Lu Zhao was explaining to him the two blogs he posted during the day.

That's right, Lu Zhao only trains and sleeps, and actually lives a very simple life.

"That's good," Bai Li continued to peel potatoes, "you don't have to spend energy to understand these things, they are not important."

Seeing Lu Zhao looking at him, Bai Li said again: "If you understand, you will care. If you care about how others see you, it will never end. If you take these grandsons too seriously, you will become a grandson. You'd better not be a grandson, it's better for you to be a major general brother."

"Well," Lu Zhao is now immune to Bai Li's "major general brother". He finished peeling his share of potatoes, washed his hands, folded his arms and looked at Bai Li, "You know a lot about these."

Bai Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Of course, what doesn't Young Master Bai understand? I have been a celebrity since I was a child."

This is true.

Bai Li was taken back to the Bai family by Old Master Bai to be raised as soon as he was born. He basically never met the Tang family that his biological mother married into, which also meant that he had no chance to communicate with his biological parents since he was a child. Not long after, Bai Li's biological mother gave birth to another alpha, and the Tang family held a large dinner to celebrate the birth of the new generation of the Tang family.

In the Tang family, no one mentioned Bai Li.

In the Bai family, no one mentioned their parents.

This is a tacit understanding on the surface, and also a kind of discussion in private.

Bai Li is like a monkey that jumped out of a mecha. No one knows how Old Master Bai taught him. He never mentioned meeting his biological mother since he was a child. Occasionally, he had contact with the Tang family once or twice at a banquet of the nobles, and he always had the arrogant and domineering attitude of Young Master Bai, just like to everyone else.

He understands too well.

Because he understood too much, he didn't give those grandsons who watched the excitement any chance to poke him in the wound.

After finally entering the military, Bai Li showed his skills, but he was crippled before he had even started for two years. He didn't give anyone a chance to see his excitement either, and he quit the military cleanly, as if he didn't miss it at all.

It was all fake. If he didn't miss it, which grandson would drink the repairing nutrient solution every day?

Lu Zhao understood, but he didn't continue.

Are some things interesting to say? Those who ask you about your wounds are all bastards. They look at the wounds and ask you if it hurts.

Do you have to cry to feel the pain? You idiot.

Bai Li's personal terminal is still reading the comments. Surprisingly, there are not many people cursing this time. It may be that the people have completely accepted the marriage of Bai Li and Lu Zhao. Although there are still some sour words, many onlookers said that Bai Li, the alpha, is quite powerful. Just look at the pink heart special effect, and you know that this person is extraordinary.

This time, not only Bai Li was amused, but Lu Zhao couldn't help it.

"It's interesting to see these guys hanging out on forums all day watching other people's private lives," Bai Li rinsed the peeled potatoes under the tap, "and set up character sets for others every day. If I don't follow their character sets, they'll say I'm pretending, but if I do, they'll think I'm useless. Then I can only be more exciting than the character they set up for me."

Bai Li picked up the potato peeled by Lu Zhao and took a look at it, then laughed: "Fuck, Xianhua, the way you peel potatoes means we'll have to eat less."

Lu Zhao looked at the thick potato skin he had peeled, then looked at the one peeled by Bai Li, and cursed: "Fuck." This is much harder than driving a mecha.

"Don't let Situ see it, or he'll say I don't respect the fruits of his hard work." Bai Li swept the fruit peels into the trash can, and soon the robot butler would come over and take the contents of the can to the recycling bin, so the garbage would not be left indoors for more than an hour. "He's used to it, so he doesn't act like he's wasting anything. There's not much difference between him making scrambled eggs with tomatoes and tomato and egg pancakes."

"Situ?" Lu Zhao paused, "The Situ who used to be in the Mecha Research Institute?"

"Ah," Bai Li replied, "He slammed the table and challenged his leader, and was squeezed out and forced to work in the Mecha Maintenance Department for retirement. He couldn't stand the grievance and resigned. Now that I've retired from the army, I invested in him, opened a research institute, and planted potatoes."

Lu Zhao laughed twice when he heard about the "planting potatoes".

Obviously it was a terrible thing, but Bai Li was very happy after he said it.

Lu Zhao said: "Many mechas that are now put into use on the front line have records of his participation in research and development."

Bai Li nodded: "He is very powerful. We knew each other in the military academy. This grandson would pick up the wreckage of scrapped mechas when he had nothing to do. I don't know how he got into the mecha research institute. I was shocked."

"I haven't seen him since I joined the First Legion," Lu Zhao watched the robot butler rolling over to take out the trash, "The research institute you invested in was originally in charge of him."

"There was quite a stir when we first started, mainly because the media were gossipy. I had just been discharged from the army, my legs still hurt, and I limped. Situ had just left a shady private research institute and didn't take care of himself. He had dark circles under his eyes, as if he had been beaten. When we stood together, it was a big 'miserable' word." Bai Li wanted to laugh when he told him about this. "The next day, the reporters gave our research institute a nickname, 'Reemployment Base for Disabled Off-duty People', damn."

Lu Zhao subconsciously glanced at Bai Li's legs.

Bai Li's legs don't seem to have any problems now. He walks fast and steadily, but he didn't expect that he would limp sometimes.

The two were listening to the forum comments, mostly Bai Li's nonsense, with Lu Zhao replying occasionally, when they heard a text message on Bai Li's personal terminal. The artificial intelligence had no respect for personal privacy and read it out directly: "Sender Huo Cun: 'Brother Bai Li, do you have time to play a few rounds?'" It

was very Huo Cun's naivety, which made Lu Zhao confused.

This grandson called Bai Li "brother" for the sake of fighting.

Bai Li replied: "Play a few rounds."

"Sender Huo Cun: 'Play five, six, seven, or eight rounds.'"

Bai Li replied: "The 'a few rounds' is a homophone, I was afraid that it would be distorted if I typed it out."

After waiting for a few seconds, I guessed that the other party was experiencing the mystery of words.

Huo Cun finally replied: "Hey? Why are you swearing at me?"

Bai Li laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. Lu Zhao actually reacted for a second, then came to his senses and didn't

know whether to laugh or cry: "Do you have to tease him?" "I was scolding him sincerely, but he turned it into a joke." Bai Li spread his hands, "Xianhua, you keep saying you're going to compensate me, so compensate me now."

Lu Zhao glanced at him: "How are you going to compensate?"

Bai Li picked up a knife and cut the potatoes into shreds, while raising his chin and pointing at the personal terminal that was still reading Huo Cun's text message: "Tell your adjutant to stop pestering me."

Lu Zhao would of course not refuse, and directly sent a communication request to Huo Cun using his personal terminal. The call

was picked up in less than two seconds. Huo Cun's head was projected in the air by the personal terminal. His natural curly hair was combed neatly with no one knowing how much straightener he had applied. He was dressed in a suit and looked like a decent man.

Huo Cun spoke as soon as he answered the phone: "Major General, what do you have...Fuck?"

His eyes were wide open and he couldn't even finish his words.

Lu Zhao followed Huo Cun's gaze and saw Bai Li putting the pot on the heating plate.

Bai Li never dressed so formally at home. Although he dressed like a peacock who flirted with people outside, he would change into short-sleeved trousers and shorts as soon as he entered the house. His hair was washed and blown like a dandelion, which was very close to the daily life of the general public.

Bai Li looked back after hearing the voice, and when he saw Huo Cun's outfit, he also said, "Fuck."

Huo Cun came back to his senses: "Bai Li, the way you are dressed plus what you are doing right now, you are very virtuous, you know that?"

Bai Li lifted his bangs: "Better than you. Look at your hair, it's like a dog licked it, it's so shiny, you know that?"

Huo Cun quickly touched his hair with his hand. He usually wore military clothes and some casual clothes in private. This time he wore a suit and a tie, and his hair was sticking to his scalp. He felt very uncomfortable: "I didn't want to wear this. This is a blind date, and my dad insisted that I dress up."

Lu Zhao just remembered that Huo Cun had said he wanted to go on a blind date in the afternoon: "Why are you preparing for a blind date?" No wonder he almost got cheated out of the top 200.

"That O didn't like me at first sight, and he went to the bathroom now." Huo Cun basically answered all of Lu Zhao's questions.

Bai Li was amused: "Okay, Adjutant Huo, you can use your spare time to catch both the blind date game, but I don't think you can do either."

Huo Cun was annoyed: "Shut up, I get angry when I see you now."

"You are angry because of shame." Lu Zhao commented objectively.

Bai Li laughed.

"Major General, you don't know that the O who was on the blind date today, as soon as he heard that I had contact with Bai Li, he asked me about Bai Li." Huo Cun cursed, "It's a bother for me. If my dad hadn't told me not to be too embarrassing, I would definitely get angry."

Lu Zhao glanced at Bai Li.

Bai Li was pouring water into the pot, and his hands almost trembled: "Let me make it clear that I am innocent. I have been devoted to you, Major General Lu, since I married you."

Lu Zhao didn't mean to do that. He glanced at Bai Li subconsciously, and Bai Li found it funny when he said that.

"I testify, I testify, that O absolutely cannot have any hidden relationship with Master Bai," Huo Cun hurried to prove that he was different from others. He felt that Bai Li was a good person and didn't want Bai Li and Lu Zhao to have any misunderstandings. "Today, that O is a collateral branch of the Tang family, so... well, Master Bai should understand."

Bai Li was stunned for a moment, and said "Oh", "I understand."

He didn't say what he understood, and turned around to start cooking.

The water has boiled. Bai Li took out the potato shreds that had been soaked in cold water, put them into the pot to blanch, and took them out again in less than a minute and set them aside.

Pour out the hot water, put the pot back on the heating pad, pour in a proper amount of oil, and when the oil is hot, Bai Li added a small spoonful of seasoning and sautéed it.

There are not many seasonings that were available on Earth in the past. Even if they are cultivated, the taste is very different from what Bai Li remembers. After so many years of self-exploration, Bai Li found the seasoning that is most similar to the taste of Sichuan pepper.

The seasoning exudes fragrance under the stimulation of hot oil. Scrap out the seasoning residue and only use the hot oil after sautéing. The potato shreds are put into the pot, and the aroma instantly spreads amid the swirling steam. Lu Zhao couldn't help but take a look.

The communication of the personal terminal can transmit some smells, and this smell alone has made Huo Cun shed tears of emotion: "The fruity sparrow I just ate is no longer fragrant." When

Bai Li saw Huo Cun's eager look, he thought of the saying "coated with flour and fried until golden, the children next door cried", and couldn't help laughing.

"Major General, when will your family invite me to sit down?" Huo Cun was negotiable, but his eyes were still fixed on the shredded potatoes.

Lu Zhao raised his hand and hung up the communication.

Huo Cun will definitely make a fuss tomorrow. If he doesn't make a fuss, the whole army will know that he will never stop.

"Do you like spicy food, fresh flowers?" Bai Li put the seasoning in a casual manner, not caring about the amount, everything goes according to his feeling.

"Well," Lu Zhao said without hesitation, "put less." Eating too much will make your tongue hurt.

Bai Li also knew that he couldn't stand spicy food. He still remembered the red face of his brother, the major general, last time he ate it. He took the time to give him a thumbs up: "Okay, the major general is determined not to give in to the chili pepper. It's touching."

The dinner that made Huo Cun'an drool was actually quite simple. It was still two dishes and a pot of porridge. Bai Li searched for the remaining ingredients and finally found only a handful of green vegetables, so he fried a plate of green vegetables.

The two of them ate slowly. Bai Li turned his personal terminal to reading mode again. In the time it took to finish the meal, he had already turned over several pages of comments on the forum. He ate while listening, making it like a meal.

After a meal, he was full of food, and it was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening when he washed the dishes.

Lu Zhao came out of the shower. Bai Li was sitting on the sofa playing a virtual war. The personal terminal was connected to the system in the house. The virtual screen projected in the air was larger and clearer than the one projected by the personal terminal. A small translucent interface also appeared in front of the player for operation.

"Flowers," Bai Li was in high spirits, staring at the screen and talking, "I brought a few bottles of new repairing nutrient solution from the research institute today. You can try it and put it on the tea table."

Two patients who lived on the repairing nutrient solution lived in this apartment. Lu Zhao thought of the physical examination report he sent to Bai Li.

Since the day the physical examination report was sent to Bai Li, Bai Li had never told him anything about this matter.

Just like Lu Zhao didn't ask about the Tang family's side branch just now.

They maintained a subtle tacit understanding, not touching each other's bottom line, not interfering with each other, but there was a little mutual understanding.

Lu Zhao walked over, and the tea table was on the other side of the sofa.

As soon as Lu Zhao approached, Bai Li felt a fragrance in his breath, which spread with the movement of Lu Zhao bending down to take the nutrient solution, and it also carried the damp temperature after he had just taken a bath, and it "banged" along the nasal cavity and hit Bai Li's nerves.

Bai Li did not react. The ventilation system of this apartment was very smart. The smell of dinner had long dissipated. He clearly smelled this fragrance, which was very light, like the smell of grass after rain.

"Did you bring your own shower gel?" Bai Li was a little dizzy because of the smell, and said in a daze.

Lu Zhao was drinking nutrient solution and shook his head when he was asked.

Before he could say anything, he felt Bai Li approaching, with his face almost touching Lu Zhao's neck, and sniffing lightly at the crook of his neck.

This should be the closest they have been in recent times.

Bai Li's hair brushed against Lu Zhao's skin, which was very itchy.

Before Lu Zhao could react, Bai Li's voice rang in his ears: "It smells like grass, quite nice, what brand?"

Lu Zhao's face changed, and he took a step back abruptly.

Bai Li was still stunned in place, his eyes fell on Lu Zhao's face, and the next second he realized what happened, and he also took a step back abruptly.

That was the smell of Lu Zhao's pheromone.

"There are inhibitors in the cabinet in your room." Bai Li turned his head away and looked elsewhere, speaking quickly.

Lu Zhao stood there for two seconds, turned around and walked back to his bedroom.

The sound of the door closing was heard, and Bai Li's stiff body finally became aware, and he slowly squatted down.

For an alpha, it is not embarrassing to smell the pheromones of an omega. Bai Li had been accustomed to walking through the forest of pheromone scents released for him with a smile on his face a few years ago. He had smelled strong liquor and sweet honey. Bai Li thought he had a lot of experience in resisting temptation.

Lu Zhao's scent came too suddenly, mixed with his body temperature and moist water vapor, which pulled Bai Li's nerves hard.

Bai Li felt like a fool, and he even went up to smell it.

"Fuck," Bai Li squatted on the ground, holding his head, and could still smell the faint fragrance of grass after the rain, "Fuck."
