After dining together that day, Lu Cheng’an’s attitude towards Mohr seemed to have subtly changed. For instance, aboard the eagle-class starship, whenever Lu Cheng’an had free time, he would visit Mohr in the medical room under the guise of “concern for the sentinels’ mental well-being”. During meal times, he would actively sit with Mohr. And when they had leave on the capital star, he would find excuses to go shopping and cook with Mohr.

The two of them were almost inseparable.

The sentinels privately speculated, “Is there something going on between Captain Lu and Mohr?”

“Captain Lu is always with Mohr. Could it be that Mohr is the person he likes?”

“He cares about all his comrades, but he seems especially concerned about Mohr.”

On the day when someone went to plead with Lu Cheng’an to pursue Mohr, a sentinel suddenly realized, “No wonder he told me not to bother Mohr, not to encroach on a comrade’s territory – he was warning us!”

The sentinels could all see that something was off with Lu Cheng’an. But Mohr didn’t think much of it. Since Lu Cheng’an was a good captain, caring for all his teammates like an elder brother, Mohr didn’t feel like he held any special place in Lu Cheng’an’s heart.

In the blink of an eye, two months passed, and the Eagle Special Forces Team was dispatched to a distant galaxy for a mission. This mission required exploration of an unknown resource star. After the eagle-class starship arrived at the target location, Lu Cheng’an led the team for reconnaissance. Before departing, he deliberately activated the wireless headset and said to Mohr, “Can you hear me?”

Mohr replied, “Yes, communication is normal.”

Lu Cheng’an whispered, “We don’t know much about the alien life forms here. You stay on the starship, seal the doors, and if you encounter any danger, contact me immediately.”

The concern in his eyes warmed Mohr’s heart, and he nodded, saying, “Okay, you all be careful too.”

Lu Cheng’an nodded and gestured for the sentinel team to board the warship and depart.

Mohr stood patiently by the porthole, listening attentively to Lu Cheng’an’s calm instructions through his headset. He didn’t notice at all that a purple cloud was slowly drifting from the distant sky toward the starship.

After some time, the starship suddenly shook violently, almost causing Mohr to lose his balance. He quickly grabbed onto the nearby table and looked outside in confusion—

Outside the porthole, there were numerous purple flying birds, each with wings over two meters long, covered with thick feathers, and sharp beaks like thorns. They formed a group surrounding the entire starship, viciously attacking the external protective shield of the starship with their sharp beaks!

One of the giant birds happened to be facing Mohr’s direction. Through the porthole, Mohr met its deep purple eyes, and his heart trembled. He hurriedly ran out, shouting, “Quick, stabilize the starship! Retreat to the command room!”

There was a special protective shield outside the starship, which they couldn’t penetrate for the moment. So, they collectively flapped their wings above the starship, attempting to drag it down.

Mohr felt like he was on a roller coaster, unable to stand steadily, almost feeling nauseous from the back and forth shaking.

He pressed down on his headset, trying to report the situation to Lu Cheng’an as calmly as possible, “Captain, we’re under attack by a type of bird-like creature about 4 meters long. The number is unknown, and the entire starship is surrounded. They’re attacking the shield and trying to pull the starship down!”

Lu Cheng’an’s breath hitched, and he quickly said, “Roger, protect yourself, wait for my return.”

Before he finished speaking, Lu Cheng’an had already turned the direction of the warship.

The black warship elegantly maneuvered in the air, disappearing from everyone’s sight in an instant. At the same time, a cold and stern voice sounded in the sentinels’ headsets, “Everyone, return immediately for rescue!”

The members of the Eagle Special Forces Team saw General Lu so nervous for the first time.

Before they could react, he had disappeared. How fast was that? After realizing what was happening, they quickly followed General Lu’s lead and changed direction to return for rescue.

When they arrived at the location of the starship, Lu Cheng’an had already charged into the midst of the bird encirclement alone! Under the joint attack of numerous birds, a gap was opened in the protective shield at the rear of the starship. Bird after bird rushed into the starship, wrapping it up so densely that the original color couldn’t be seen.

Mohr was still inside…

Watching this scene, Lu Cheng’an’s eyes widened with fury.

He jumped out of the cockpit of the warship, golden wings spreading from his shoulders, and wielding an electromagnetic knife fiercely, he cut through the birds, creating a path of blood, and rushed into the starship through the breach at the rear. At the same time, he ordered through the headset, “Teams 1 and 2, deal with the birds on the east side; Teams 3 and 4, handle the west side; the rest, provide support from behind! Be careful, our comrades are still inside the starship!”

With General Lu’s command, the members of the eagle Special Forces Team immediately sprang into action.

The starship was still shaking violently. Lu Cheng’an charged into the starship, slashing his way to the medical room, where he found bird carcasses everywhere. The corridors and walls were covered in blood, whether it belonged to humans or the birds, he couldn’t tell.

Lu Cheng’an’s heart clenched. As he continued to slay monsters, he asked through his headset, “Mohr, Mohr, where are you?!”

Mohr’s voice came through the headset, “I… I’m in the command room.”

Lu Cheng’an quickly turned and flew towards the command room.

Outside, his teammates were engaged in fierce battles with the monsters. The starship kept shaking, but Lu Cheng’an steadied himself, swiftly wielding his weapon to slay all the monsters hindering him!

In the blink of an eye, the corpses of those monsters fell around him like rain. Lu Cheng’an was covered in blood, quickly reaching the door of the command room.

The two of them faced each other through the door of the command room, and Mohr quickly stood up and opened the door. Before he could speak, Lu Cheng’an rushed forward in one stride, tightly embracing him and whispered in his ear, “Are you okay? Did you get hurt?”

Mohr’s voice, hoarse from tension, gripped Lu Cheng’an’s arm, seeming to tremble slightly. Mohr was startled for a moment, his heart suddenly filled with a soft and warm emotion. Just now, when the birds broke through the shield, Mohr was also terrified. It was his first time facing such fierce alien creatures at close range, and the sharp beak grazed his body, sending a fiery pain throughout his body.

He calmly led two sentinels, retreating and fighting, holding the command room, waiting for their comrades to rescue them. He hadn’t expected Captain Lu to come so quickly, and to be the first one to rush in. Watching Lu Cheng’an, covered in blood, carving a path through the encirclement of birds to save him, Mohr’s eyes couldn’t help but well up.

The person he liked was a powerful, reliable, and loyal sentinel. Even if it wasn’t him trapped today, but any other comrade, Lu Cheng’an would still rush to their rescue first. It was no wonder the members of the eagle Special Forces Team respected their captain so much.

Mohr gently grasped Lu Cheng’an’s arm and said, “I’m fine, just… just a minor injury.”

Hearing this, Lu Cheng’an furrowed his brows. He lifted Mohr horizontally, walking towards his own quarters, calmly asking through his headset, “What’s the situation outside?”

A report came through the headset, “General, about half of the monsters have been slain, and they’re starting to retreat.”

Lu Cheng’an ordered, “Don’t pursue. Drive them away and return to the starship as soon as possible, prepare for evacuation.”

After a moment, the shaking starship finally stabilized. The sentinels cleared the monsters outside and returned to the starship in an orderly manner. Lu Cheng’an had someone tally the casualties. Thanks to Lu Cheng’an’s timely rescue and Mohr’s quick reaction, retreating to the command room, no one had been sacrificed in this encounter with the airborne monsters.

The eagle-class starship temporarily withdrew, and Lu Cheng’an carried Mohr into a room and laid him on the bed.

Mohr’s white coat was already stained red with blood. Lu Cheng’an quickly helped him take off the coat and tore open the shirt underneath, revealing his upper body. He then saw a long wound on Mohr’s shoulder, probably inflicted by one of the monsters. The ten-centimeter-long wound was still bleeding, contrasting starkly with his fair skin.

Lu Cheng’an’s eyes darkened as he carefully disinfected and bandaged it. He softly asked, “Does it hurt a lot?”

Mohr had been in a state of tension just now and hadn’t felt much pain. Now, as the wound came into contact with the cold medicine, the pain became more pronounced. Sensing himself half-naked in front of Lu Cheng’an, Mohr involuntarily shrank his shoulder, his ears turning red. He said softly, “It’s… it’s okay. I dodged quickly, and the wound isn’t deep.”

Lu Cheng’an furrowed his brows as he carefully disinfected and bandaged the wound.

Because of the wound’s location, Lu Cheng’an’s hands accidentally brushed against Mohr’s sensitive chest as he was bandaging him. Mohr was touched repeatedly, his ears turning completely red, feeling embarrassed.

Lu Cheng’an finally finished bandaging. Looking down, he saw Mohr’s snow-white skin, slender figure, and the two red spots on his chest… Lu Cheng’an realized that his behavior had been quite rude. He had hastily stripped Mohr of his clothes in his urgency just now. Mohr, with his head lowered in shy embarrassment, made Lu Cheng’an feel awkward too.

He hurriedly grabbed a blanket to cover Mohr and cleared his throat, saying, “Um, you should rest for a while.”

Blushing, Mohr said, “I’d better go back to my own room.”

Indeed, he was a guide, and it wouldn’t look good for him to spend the night in General Lu’s room. However, his shirt had been torn by Lu Cheng’an, so Lu Cheng’an had to turn around and rummage through the wardrobe, pulling out one of his own shirts for Mohr to wear.

With a height difference of more than ten centimeters between them, the shirt naturally didn’t fit. Lu Cheng’an sighed and said, “Just make do with it for now.”

“Thank you.” Mohr lowered his head and put on the shirt Lu Cheng’an handed him, then turned and left the room.

Mohr’s slender figure was noticeably smaller in Lu Cheng’an’s shirt. But for some reason, Lu Cheng’an found this scene quite harmonious. It was a way to assert ownership, letting everyone in the team know… Mohr belonged to him.

The possessiveness of a sentinel towards a guide was indeed terrifying. Only after Mohr left the room did Lu Cheng’an retract his gaze, awkwardly rubbing his nose. He finally confirmed that he also liked Mohr. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so nervous when he received Mohr’s distress signal just now. Nor would he have felt so heartbroken seeing Mohr injured. And he wouldn’t have dreamt so frequently of intimate scenes with Mohr.

Since that moment when Mohr unexpectedly kissed him after drinking, this guide had unknowingly walked into his heart.
