Chapter 78

Everyone looked at Tang Bai in shock and suspicion as he walked towards the huge mechanical vine. One of the leaves of that vine was bigger than Tang Bai's face, and it could easily imprison Tang Bai.

Tang Bai looked at the mechanical vines he designed with a complicated expression, like an old father who gave birth to children but did not raise them, with a hint of restraint in his kindness.

Tang Bai was just about to say hello to the mechanical vines when countless vines rustled and rushed towards him. Tang Bai was dazed for a moment as he was tied up by the vines. Compared to the military personnel who were on high alert all around him, Tang Bai was still quite relaxed.

He guessed that the vine recognized the scent of his old father.

Before giving the mechanical egg to Xie Ruheng, Tang Bai often fed it with energy crystals. He originally thought that the child had forgotten him...

A warm current of fatherly love surged in Tang Bai's heart.

Just when Tang Bai wanted to cultivate the father-son relationship with the mechanical vine, a slender green vine suddenly slid along Tang Bai's sleeve like a human hand...

Drilled in.

Not only did he drill in, he also caressed Tang Bai's soft and smooth skin slowly and teasingly, even moving towards the pink area.

The vine was clearly enjoying the physical contact, and all its leaves curled up in pleasure.

Tang Bai: "?!?!!!"

When the vine became more and more aggressive and touched the unspeakable places, Tang Bai became extremely angry and turned on the computer, called up the program he had installed long ago, and selected the sleep mode for the vine.

What the hell are you doing! Daddy doesn't have a son like you! Let the laborers sleep!!!

Tang Bai, whose fatherly love was like a landslide, watched angrily as the vine shrank rapidly, instantly shrunk to the size of a palm, and fell on the unconscious Xie Ruheng with a plop.

The people who were originally entangled by the thick vines also fell to the ground one after another. Some of them cried out in pain and woke up in a daze.

To outsiders, it looked like Tang Bai was tied up by thick vines. Tang Bai frowned and waved his hands, and the huge vines disappeared without a trace. It was a very cool scene.

"It turns out that the mechanical pet Tang Bai mentioned is real."

"Where can I buy a pet like this? I want to buy one and keep it as a pet."

"I heard it was designed by the Tang family, but the production cost is very high, so ordinary people like us should forget about it..."

Tang Bai adjusted his collar expressionlessly. His body still retained the strange feeling of being touched, which made Tang Bai want to pull out the vine and chop it into pieces.

How did this colorful vine become like this?! Although mechanical pets are affected by their owners to some extent, the owner of this vine is Xie Ruheng!

Could it be that this vine has also touched Brother Xie in this way?

No! Can! Forgive! Forgive!

I have never met Xie Ge like this before!!!

Tang Bai clenched his fists and walked towards the unconscious Xie Ruheng. Originally, seeing Xie Ruheng with his eyes closed, Tang Bai should have been worried and anxious, but at this moment his attention was completely attracted by the hateful vines.

Tang Bai pulled off the small ball of vines that were curled up on Xie Ruheng's chest, flicked the small leaves as if to vent his anger, and then put the mini version of the mechanical vine into Xie Ruheng's pocket.

When Tang Bai reached into Xie Ruheng's pocket, he felt a small, cold object. He took it out and was shocked to find that...

Isn’t this the star button he gave to Xiao Cheng?

When Xie Ruheng woke up, he saw the ceiling of the treatment and repair cabin.

Where is this?

His memory only stayed on the scene of the mine suddenly exploding and collapsing.

"Brother Xie, you're awake!" Through a layer of separating glass, he saw Tang Bai's surprised smile, as well as Gu Tunan beside him. Also sitting in the ward were Qiu Yan, Lu Lu and other classmates.

Many concerned eyes fell on him. Xie Ruheng was a little dazed. He didn't realize that so many people were concerned about his safety.

There were a lot of people, and the room was noisy and hot. Xie Ruheng removed the partition glass and sat up from the repair cabin. He saw the short Lu Xiaoshan moving a children's stool, holding a bag of medical soothing candies in his hand, and sitting next to Tang Bai's legs.

There were so many flowers and fruit baskets that they could not be put away and had to be placed on the ground. Some of them were wild flowers growing wildly in the slums. These bouquets were carefully taken care of. Although they did not look as good as the flowers carefully cultivated in the flower shop, they made Xie Ruheng feel attentive.

"We have made a contribution this time." Gu Tunan said concisely.

Xie Ruheng used the paralyzing current of the Star Button to stun Qin Wei and save his life. The military took Qin Wei away for investigation and found out that the Cheng family was going to sell this batch of high-level energy crystals to the star pirates.

The witnesses were solid, but the physical evidence...was eaten up by the mechanical vines.

At first, the military was very excited when they discovered the existence of the mechanical vines. However, when they learned that the mechanical vines had eaten up all the priceless energy crystals that the Cheng family had used to trade and evolved into this state, the military gave up the idea of ​​cultivating mechanical vines in large quantities.

The effort and reward are not proportional, and the country cannot afford to support such a prodigal vine.

This time, the Cheng family suffered not only the loss of their wife but also the loss of their army. Not only did they have to pay a huge fine, but they also had to convict a group of people. Cheng Wenhui was also among the scapegoats, and his original five years was directly increased to life imprisonment.

The military has not yet issued specific rewards, but Xie Ruheng's resume has already been gloriously enhanced, which will be beneficial to his future military or political career.

"Congratulations, Brother Xie! Brother Xie, you have done a great job this time!"

"The interstellar media has reported your name, Brother Xie!"

"If you are rich, don't forget me!"

"Thank you, brother. The doctor said that Dad can be discharged from the hospital after receiving treatment for a period of time."

When Lu Xiaoshan talked about his father's physical condition, his eyes, which had been dim and depressed for some time, suddenly burst into light.

The little kid said every word seriously: "Xiao Xie, you are a hero!"

Xie Ruheng was stunned for a moment.

He was familiar with this kind of light, which was the light that only saved people would see when they looked toward the place of faith.

It was the light that always appeared in Tang Bai's eyes when he spoke to him.

Xie Ruheng looked at Tang Bai. Tang Bai held his face in his hands, looking at him with sparkling amber eyes. His curled eyelashes seemed to be stained with the bright light. He said in a sweet voice: "Yes, Brother Xie is a great hero~"

He is everyone's hero.

But, he is my hero.

I will watch Brother Xie step by step, step by step, as he reaches the highest point, and then collapses at the most glorious moment. His presence will never fade in my heart.

As Tang Bai thought of this, his heart was pierced by the hopeless yet bright future, and sweet and sad blood flowed out.

Those amber eyes contained more and more complex emotions than those in Lu Xiaoshan's eyes. Xie Ruheng did not dare to delve into these emotions. He looked away and thought about another problem.

Even if he was in good health and managed to survive the collapse, how did Lu Xiaoshan's father survive when he was so weak?

When Xie Ruheng asked his doubts, everyone said at once: "Brother Xie, don't you know that it's your pet's credit?" "What a big vine, it's even on the hot search." "......"

Xie Ruheng: “???”

What are you talking about? A hill of vines? Or did I raise them?

In the end, it was Tang Bai who answered for Xie Ruheng: "Brother Xie, the mecha egg I gave you before has hatched, and mechanical vines have hatched..."

Xie Ruheng did not miss the discomfort on Tang Bai's face when he introduced the mechanical vines. He looked in the direction of Tang Bai's finger and saw a palm-sized vine in the flower basket at the head of the bed. It was emerald green and delicate, and shimmered with a faint metallic luster under the light.

Can such a small thing really turn into a giant and protect everyone?

Xie Ruheng picked up the small bunch of vines with a hint of disbelief. After removing the vines, he found that the vines were pressing down a piece of light pink cardboard in the flower basket.

It was a love letter.

Xie Ruheng has never received a love letter.

In fact, apart from the passionate confession of love by an omega from the red-light district in the slums, since Xie Ruheng came to the Federal Military Academy, he has rarely encountered anyone who dared to confess his love to him face to face.

One reason is that it is rumored that Xie Ruheng and Tang Bai are a couple, and the other reason is that Xie Ruheng's aura is too strong.

When Xie Ruheng saw the card, he did not react immediately. He thought it was a message that might contain important information, so he picked it up and took a look.

The confession on the card was in the form of a short poem, with the words revealing the beautiful feelings of secret love. It was pink, and the last sentence was "I like you."

The signature was a name Xie Ruheng had never heard of.

This plot...why does it seem a little familiar?

——"Love is also reflected in possessiveness. When Xie Ruheng became more and more outstanding and received love letters from other omegas, Gu Tunan finally couldn't help it. He would specifically say jealous words to Xie Ruheng."

Xie Ruheng stared at the love letter with his pupils trembling. He looked at Tang Bai with difficulty, then looked at Gu Tunan, and his hand holding the love letter trembled slightly.

Gu Tunan frowned in confusion. How could a love letter make Xie Ruheng lose his composure like this? He looked at Tang Bai and then at him, as if he was looking for some kind of approval...

Gu Tunan first thought of Tang Bai being with an ordinary alpha, and then he remembered that when he was planning to work with Xie Ruheng as a comrade-in-arms, Xie Ruheng used violence to reject his cooperation.

Could it be that Xie Ruheng no longer wants to pursue Tang Bai and is planning to just find someone else to hook up with?

How can this be!

Gu Tunan still remembers that when Xie Ruheng was unconscious, Tang Bai held Xie Ruheng's hand all the way, with his heart set on Xie Ruheng. During the day that Xie Ruheng was in a coma, Tang Bai stayed by the hospital bed and did not leave.

Apart from anything else, high-level repair cabins are usually only available to high-ranking officials and nobles. Xie Ruheng was able to use the repair cabin thanks to Tang Bai's hard work.

The alpha may not have marked Tang Bai, and everything was just Gu Tunan's guess. But everyone could see that Tang Bai was so good to Xie Ruheng. Xie Ruheng was actually moved by a simple love letter and was ready to eat from the bowl while looking at the pot? !

Gu Tunan, a hungry man who couldn't even drink soup, was angry. The midday sun shone on him, making him shine with the light of justice. He looked at Xie Ruheng with a cold expression and said firmly: "Anyone can say sweet words, don't be deceived by these false things. Companionship is the most lasting confession of love. You should cherish the person in front of you."

Xie Ruheng's hand holding the love letter trembled. Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by Gu Tunan's shameless confession.

Isn't the person in front of him Gu Tunan? !

Gu Tunan actually likes me? !

Gu Tunan can actually slap someone he likes?!

Xie Ruheng and Gu Tunan glared at each other with eyes that condemned scumbag A.

Tang Bai looked expressionlessly at the protagonists, the top and the bottom, flirting with each other in front of him, and felt like he was being fed a mouthful of dog food.

Am I not single anymore?! If you keep telling me so, I will drag Xiao Cheng and I to show our love in front of you!

Thinking of Xiao Cheng who had been out of contact for a day and a half, Tang Bai's mood suddenly dropped. He initially thought that Xiao Cheng also participated in this operation, but after asking his grandfather for the operation list, he did not find Xiao Cheng's name.

It was the star button that reassured Tang Bai. Since Xie Ruheng had Xiao Cheng's star button on him, Xie Ruheng should know Xiao Cheng's whereabouts.

At this moment, Xie Ruheng and Gu Tunan were at loggerheads, Tang Bai was saddened, and the rest of the onlookers were all in a dilemma.

Lu Lu looked at Qiu Yan.

It seems that Brother Xie and his wife are about to have a conflict, and as the younger brothers we have to help the older brother solve the problem.

Qiu Yan groaned in secret.

Is it possible for ordinary people like us to stop this Shura field of two A's competing for one O? !

"Haha, Brother Xie will definitely cherish the person in front of him." Qiu Yan came out to smooth things over. As soon as he finished speaking, the three protagonists in the center of the Shura Field looked over at him in unison, looking at him with a look that said "you don't understand".

Qiu Yan: “…”

It's so hard for me.

"Since you're awake, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Please consider carefully what I say." Gu Tunan and Xie Ruheng were not on the same page. He stood up and left with a cold face. Before leaving, he looked at Tang Bai specifically, but Tang Bai only had Xie Ruheng in his eyes.

If it was him who entered the mine... forget it.

Lu Lu also pulled Qiu Yan to stand up, "Brother Xie, you have a good rest, we won't disturb you." You have to coax your sister-in-law in private!

Everyone left, leaving only Tang Bai and Xie Ruheng in the ward.

"Would you like some fruit?" Tang Bai peeled an apple into the shape of a little rabbit and handed the fruit plate to Xie Ruheng.

Xie Ruheng took the apple and took a bite, then heard Tang Bai say, "Brother Xie, I found the star button I gave to Xiao Cheng in your pocket."

Xie Ruheng was caught off guard and coughed violently. Tang Bai patted Xie Ruheng on the back and said, "Eat slowly, don't rush."

"Drink some water." Tang Bai saw that Xie Ruheng had stopped coughing, and passed him water of suitable temperature. She took care of Xie Ruheng wholeheartedly like a submissive wife, without accusing him as Xie Ruheng had imagined.

Tang Bai seemed... not to suspect that he was Xiao Cheng?

Xie Ruheng drank a sip of water calmly and listened to Tang Bai continue: "Did Xiao Cheng lend the button to you because he knew that you were going to take a dangerous mission?"

Not only did she not have any doubts, she also thoughtfully prepared all the reasons for him!

Looking at those amber eyes that trusted him wholeheartedly, Xie Ruheng felt a strong sense of guilt, "......Yeah."

He didn't want to deceive Tang Bai, but everything Tang Bai had told him about the future had come true one by one. If he really was going to die soon in the future, then why should he delay Tang Bai?

Just when Xie Ruheng was relaxing, Tang Bai suddenly asked, "Brother Xie, do you think it's fun to lie to me like this?"

Xie Ruheng: “!!!” Ah! I was exposed? !

The phoenix eyes that could remain calm even when facing a collapse of Mount Tai widened, revealing a fleeting flash of panic and helplessness.

"Xiao Cheng is not such a casual person. The star button is our token of love. How can he just give such an important thing away? Even if you are his idol, he would not do this!"

Xie Ruheng: “!!!” That makes a lot of sense! I can’t refute it!

Xie Ruheng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but he couldn't come up with any reason to pick up his vest.

"This is the only possibility! Brother Xie, please stop hiding it from me!" Tang Bai looked at Xie Ruheng resolutely.

Xie Ruheng's heart stopped suddenly. He could already foresee the heartbreaking scene when Tang Bai would abandon him and leave him in tears.

Then, he heard Tang Bai say with tears in his eyes: "Is it because he was also going to carry out a very dangerous special mission and was worried that he would not be able to come back, so he gave the star button to you, Brother Xie, for safekeeping?"

Xie Ruheng: “…Huh?”

That makes sense... There is actually such a reason...

Facing Tang Bai, whose eyes were red from his imagination, Xie Ruheng's conscience was pricked. There was a trace of barely detectable guilt on his handsome face. He was silent for two seconds and nodded.

Tang Bai tried hard to hold back his tears, he choked and said: "Why is he so stupid..."

Tang Bai felt so stupid and pitiful that he held his forehead in pain, not daring to imagine what the situation would be like when his lie was exposed.

While Tang Bai turned his head to wipe his tears, Xie Ruheng quickly turned on the computer, switched to Xiao Cheng's account, and sent a message to Tang Bai saying, "I will be carrying out a special mission in the next two days. There will be no danger, don't worry."

Tang Bai smiled and replied, "Okay, I won't bother you now. I'll settle the score with you when you come back!"

Then Tang Bai put down his laptop and said to Xie Ruheng, "Great, Brother Xie, Xiao Cheng got back to me!"

Xie Ruheng pretended to be surprised: "That's great."

Tang Bai's smile faded. He looked at Xie Ruheng and said softly, "Actually, Brother Xie, if we really encounter something similar next time, I don't want you to hide it from me. If there is anything, we can solve it together."

"...What if it is something that cannot be solved?" Xie Ruheng asked: "If you may get an incurable disease in the future, will you tell your lover and let him/her bear the pain and loneliness after your death alone? Or will you choose to keep it secret and separate? In this way, you have never truly loved each other, and after your death, the other person may not be so painful."

Tang Bai looked at Xie Ruheng. He thought Xie Ruheng was talking about his love with Gu Tunan.

But since Xie Ruheng asked this, Tang Bai also put himself in this situation. If he had an incurable disease, would he tell Xiao Cheng?

Tang Bai thought for a long time, his eyes fell on the bouquets of flowers in the room, Tang Bai said softly: "I will tell him."

Xie Ruheng asked: "Why?"

"I read a poem."

"You don't want to plant flowers, you say: 'I don't want to see it wither a little bit', yes, in order to avoid the end, you avoid everything from the beginning."

“Love has nothing to do with the length of time we spend together. Even if it’s short-lived, we can still become an everlasting flower in each other’s heart.”

"Xie Ge, what about you?"

"You don't want to plant flowers, you say: 'I don't want to see them wither away bit by bit', yes, in order to avoid the end, you avoid everything from the beginning." by Gu Cheng
