When Zhou Yan appeared over the mining plant in his A2, the crowd cheered at him, cheered so much that he was baffled, and Zhou Yan thought, These people could be so excited because they know they have brought back food. Luo Futu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, yawned, “You seem to have won the hearts of the people, they miss you after not seeing you for so many days.”

“Is that so?”

–This was a reasonable explanation, after all, he hadn’t revealed anything about the food he was bringing back, but it made Zhou Yan feel anxious, he had never been so “popular”, he didn’t even know what it was like to be popular.

Zhou Yan was confused and stopped Mecha on the ground. A1 put down his hands and threw a pile of bagged grain on the ground. Zhou Yan stepped out of the mecha cabin, and the people around A1 rushed to him immediately, but they couldn’t squeeze him – there was Luo Futu with a ghost face standing beside him, making no one dare approach.

They used to be afraid of Luo Futu as a mystic force, but now they were afraid of another layer, because of his face, since he was the High Priest. Zhou Yan understood the people’s concerns, so he took the initiative to go forward, pointing to the grain on the ground to let the workers go to distribute Fafafa. Sun Qian happened to be very close to him, while taking the grain secretly said to Zhou Yan, “Worker Zhou. These days, the marshal has been looking for you like crazy.”

Zhou Yan froze for a moment – looking for him? Before he left, didn’t he say that he was just going home first? His family lived in Kohl Town, two mountains away, so of course he could not find him, right?

Zhou Yan was puzzled, as he looked at him. Just as he wanted to ask the reason, Luo Futu beside him came over. Chen Qian hurriedly carried the grain away to avoid him, with a little backward expression on his face.

–He was glared at, so scary.

Zhou Yan was still very confused, because everyone saw him show a look of affection, but not lean over, as if he were “finally saved”.

… What the hell was going on?

This doubt was not solved until Gabriel appeared, the news of Zhou Yan’s return to the base could not be concealed from Gabriel, he almost flew over, as soon as he met, he jumped over and grabbed Zhou Yan, he looked him up and down, his turquoise blue eyes were like sapphires, his worry almost overflowed, “Are you okay?”

What did he mean? What could happen when he went back home? Before Zhou Yan could answer, Gabriel angrily shook off his hand, “Why didn’t you answer my letter? Do you know how worried I was about you?”

Zhou Yan frowned in confusion, “You wrote to me?”

“Of course! I wrote the day after you left, but no reply was forthcoming, and each of the messengers returned safely, with the letters taken from their feet. After that I wrote several more letters, and the same thing happened!” The more Gabriel spoke, the angrier he became, and he said, “The address I was told was also a fake, and I never found your house.”

Zhou Yan was confused at first, but when he heard this, he suddenly understood – so many strange things had happened, who else could it be if not Luo Futu? Zhou Yan did not move to respond, “Maybe my home is too remote, you did not find it, as for the letter… The magnetic field near our house is too strong, which may affect the pigeons’ performance.”

Gabriel didn’t understand and subconsciously repeated, “Magnetic field?” Gabriel said, “I’m glad you’re okay, I’m going to take someone to town to search for you. I thought you had met with something bad…”

“Heh.”

Luo Futu finally spoke up, and he sneered from the side, “What could have happened with me with him? Shut your mouth.”

Gabriel then looked at Luo Futu as if he had noticed him – but he didn’t dare to be too bold, he only dared to glare at him. He also felt strange about the last incident with Li Qing, he was only drinking with Li Qing at first, and somehow he drank and drank in bed. Gabriel was too lazy to mention himself and Li Qing, in any case, he did not take it to heart, but the cause of this matter he must figure out.The only person who had the guts and the ability to have this nasty idea in the mine was Luo Futu.

Gabriel actually was also considered an admirer of the High Priest, but even after seeing Luo Futu’s face, even if everyone treated him as the real High Priest, Gabriel felt more and more that this person was definitely not the real Luo Futu.

The High Priest was not as despicable as this man.

But he did not dare to mess with Luo Futu, he could not compete with him in spiritual power, and he could not beat him in force, and he had to guard against his own blackmail… Damn, this kind of person was not worthy of Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan saw that Gabriel dared not speak up, so he thoughtfully pulled him aside, away from Luo Futu, “What is it that you want from me? Are you in trouble?”

Gabriel shook his head and then looked at him with some pride, “Some time ago we went out to save people again, and I even saved a little girl.”

Zhou Yan looked at him in surprise, “Really?”

Gabriel’s face was smug, but only slightly hooked up the corners of his lips, “Of course, I am at least the chief here, saving one or two people is nothing.”

“So do you understand what a hero is now?”

“This is the third time you’ve asked me that question.”

“And your answer?”

Gabriel smiled, “The first time, I thought I knew, but then I realized I didn’t, because the second time you asked me, I found out that the life of a hero is not all flowers and applause, but also danger, to fight for your life. And this time, I had a new answer.”

Gabriel’s answer was a great surprise to Zhou Yan, who didn’t expect him to grow so quickly in such a short period of time.

“A hero is a kind of faith, a role model. It can make the weak brave and rekindle hope in the desperate. But if as a faith… What I’ve done may not be enough.” His voice was a little lower in the latter sentence, as if it was hard to admit his inadequacy, and when he saw Zhou Yan staring at him, he became a little annoyed, “I just… I just think that I can’t let those who worship me learn from the bad.”

Zhou Yan felt that something must have happened on this “mission” to make him change so much, and he would have to find out in private later what had happened. Zhou Yan nodded approvingly, “It’s not shameful to realize your shortcomings, because it proves that you are becoming better.”

Gabriel looked at him and smiled, his smile had the openness and confidence of a teenager, which made people happy to look at him.

Zhou Yan thought for a moment and said, “By the way, I can’t stay long this time, there’s something I need you to do for me.”

His estrus period was coming up, and Luo Futu’s monthly curse was about to kick in, so the two of them staying at the mine in this state would only create trouble.

But Gabriel didn’t know the reason and frowned at his words, “What’s wrong again? You’re too irresponsible as my partner, you think about running away all day, don’t you have to take care of the mine?”

Zhou Yan was amused by him, while walking forward and said, “I am not irresponsible, but there really is something. Besides, I see that you have grown a lot recently. You are already a qualified leader, I am relieved that you are watching over the mine.”

Zhou Yan’s feeling towards Gabriel has changed a lot, although this guy was always doing ridiculous things, Zhou Yan treated him as his own student – more like a real student than the 400 year old “student on the side”. Gabriel started out as a fop, dreaming of being a hero, afraid of hardship and refusing to work hard, and arrogant to the point of treating people of lower status than himself. In theory, such a person was Zhou Yan’s least favorite type, and Zhou Yan’s initial intention to nudge him was just a whim, not expecting Gabriel to really change so much.

His intention was not to change him, but he became better and better when he didn’t see it.

Gabriel was very comfortable with Zhou Yan’s compliments, but his mouth was still complaining, “You praise me just to make me work, right?

Zhou Yan couldn’t help but laugh, Gabriel was just about to say something, but suddenly felt a small ball of flesh bumping into his feet, Zhou Yan also felt off. He looked down and found a little girl less than his knee height jumping on Gabriel’s calf, big eyes staring at Gabriel’s face, eyes full of admiration. Zhou Yan obviously felt Gabriel straighten his spine, originally seeming to want to pander to him, but the moment he saw this little girl, all the words were swallowed back.

“How did you get here? Why don’t you stay in your room and run around?”

“I came to play with Gabe after I woke up from my nap!”

Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this – Gabe? This kind of nickname is called by children…

Gabriel was very nervous when Zhou Yan heard the little girl call him that, and hurriedly picked up the little meatball and whispered, “Didn’t I tell you not to call me that? You have to call me Marshal!”

The little girl was dumbfounded and just ducked her head into Gabriel’s arms, and her mouth changed, “Marshal Gabe, play with Lucy.”

Zhou Yan looked for a while, immediately understood, this girl was the one that Gabriel had saved. He suddenly became a normal person in front of her. He suddenly wanted to become an idol, but also because had such a small fan …

Who said the power of idols was strong? The power of fans could also make idols become better. Gabriel was the type of person who would become good for his little fan.

Gabriel was a little embarrassed to see Zhou Yan looking at him and smiling, but he also introduced him to this girl named Lucy, she was really the one he saved. They said a few words, the little girl had fallen asleep on Gabriel’s shoulder.

“This little girl is so troublesome… By the way, Zhou Yan, what is it that you said you wanted me to do?”

Zhou Yan hesitated and shook his head, “You can send her back first, I’ll talk to you later.”

–He hadn’t even thought about how to say it yet, and the two experiments he did… Both were scary.

Gabriel took a look at the little girl in his arms, then at Zhou Yan, and finally nodded, “Okay, I’ll send her back to bed first, and I’ll come to you when she’s asleep.”

Zhou Yan then nodded his head.

After Gabriel left, Zhou Yan looked back at Luo Futu, who was honestly standing at a distance, not acting like a demon for the first time, “You already knew about this?”

Luo Futu raised his eyebrows at him and played dumb, “What?”

“Gabriel’s rescue of the little girl.”

“How would I know? We came back together.”

Zhou Yan sneered, “High Priest is so powerful that he would not only intercept Gabriel’s pigeon that sent the letter and know in advance that he had saved a little girl, but he also has the ability to change my house from Kohl Town so that people who want to find me can’t find me.”

–From the moment Gabriel told him about all the strange things he had encountered, Zhou Yan guessed that Luo Futu was the only one in the world who could keep the people who came to Kohl Town from finding traces of him.

Luo Futu kept smiling at Zhou Yan and simply admitted, “I just don’t want to let outside voices bother you. This guy is like a mother-in-law, not at all like an alpha, he wrote all kinds of trivial things to you in a letter.”

Zhou Yan glanced at him, “What if it was an emergency? What if we have to go back to rescue?”

“Then I will personally come over, how can I leave it unattended? But I also can not let it bother you.” He walked up and wrapped his arm around Zhou Yan’s waist, rubbing his head, “I don’t like other alphas getting too close to you, and we haven’t done anything as romantic as sending a letter, so why let this kid get the jump on me?”

“…” Isn’t that because they’ve been stuck together? What’s the need for a letter? Zhou Yan didn’t blame him too much, but on the way back, he suddenly said, “Gabriel has grown up a lot.”

He didn’t expect Luo Futu only to give a soft “hmm”.

“Yo, you can also accept compliments about him.”

Luo Futu curled his lips towards Zhou Yan, “As long as he doesn’t focus on you.”

Zhou Yan didn’t break him down – in fact… He also admired this kid, right?
