Luo XiaoLou quickly found Yuan Yu’s training room. Because he didn’t have a communication device, he had to knock on the door.

A young adjutant’s face soon appeared on the intercom screen. He glanced at the person outside, then tightened his brow and said with slight displeasure, “His Highness the Prince has said that no one will be seen.”

After that, he got ready to turn off the intercom.

Luo XiaoLou was just about to say something, when a childish voice suddenly called out, “Wait! Let my dad…let him in!”

The face of the adjutant on the screen was obviously taken aback, but he quickly opened the door. He didn’t quite understand what His Little Highness meant, but still chose to obey the order.

After he opened the door the adjutant watched the handsome young man with black hair and black eyes walk in, followed by a man who was his colleague. As a senior adjutant who also belonged to Yuan Xi, his colleague was a little better than himself, so he didn’t he didn’t expect him to be assigned to this young man. That showed that His Highness Yuan Xi treated this person very differently.

As he came in, the young adjutant’s colleague winked at him. The adjutant had an epiphany. Maybe His Highness Yuan Xi was finally planning to find a lover? However, this lover was too much like the original Prince Consort…

Three years ago, in order not to affect the mood of His Highness Yuan Xi, all the Prince Consort statues in the Empire had all disappeared. In fact there were very few of them to begin with, as His Highness seemed not to like His Highness the Prince Consort to show his face. He had almost forgotten what His Highness the Prince Consort looked like. But ever since that thought flashed through his mind, the adjutant felt more and more that this person was really too similar to His Highness the Prince Consort.

He turned his head again to look at the peach-faced noble ladies and gentry in the training room, and sighed in his heart. It seemed that there was no hope for those people. No one could change the Prince’s obstinacy.

In the middle of the training room, Yuan Xi was holding a particle gun, and giving a demonstration of shooting with easy and elegant movements. But where Yuan Yu should have been, stood a young blonde girl with lace gloves who was holding a small energy particle gun. Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes lingered from time to time on Yuan Xi’s expressionless, but disturbing, face.

There were several young men and girls standing around. They maintained a reserved pride, and only a hint of jealousy as they watched.

Little Yuan Yu’s hand quickly held Luo XiaoLou’s hand, and his serious little face flashed a smile. There were two dimples on that face for an instant. He looked in the direction of the gathered crowd, then pulled Luo XiaoLou towards a spot with fewer people.

No one noticed as Yuan Yu and Luo XiaoLou walked to the side, but Yuan Xi looked over the line of sight.

Yuan Yu quietly snuggled up to Luo XiaoLou and said, “Daddy, are you feeling better already? I’m so happy. I thought you wouldn’t come to see me, at least not today…”

Yuan Yu’s adjutant who had just opened the door for them blushed, but didn’t say anything. He just tried to block the sight of others who might look over.

Luo XiaoLou stroked Yuan Yu’s head. His heart lightened a few points because of Yuan Xi’s loss, and replied in a low voice, “Well, I’m here. Are you done with your training?”

Yuan Yu’s little face immediately flushed with embarrassment. He hadn’t finished yet, but wanted to stay by his dad’s side.

“You go over and finish the training first. Daddy brought a gift for you when you finish,” Luo XiaoLou said with a smile.

“Okay.” Yuan Yu felt a burst of joy. He looked around, saw that no one else was looking, and motioned for Luo XiaoLou to bend down.

Luo XiaoLou thought the child wanted to whisper to him, so he put his ear towards Yuan Yu. Yuan Yu paused for a moment, then quickly gave Luo XiaoLou a kiss on the cheek, and ran away with a red face.

In fact, he has been thinking about doing that ever since he went back last night.

Luo XiaoLou noticed the gentle touch on his face, and was surprised. He watched Yuan Yu as he ran to the training ground and his heart was suddenly soft.

Hachi’s gaze flashed. It ran off to follow little Yuan Yu.

125, on the other hand, accompanied Luo XiaoLou and sat in the rest area next to the training field. It quickly noticed Luo XiaoLou’s line of sight, and likewise looked at Yuan Xi who was surrounded by people. He sighed decently, “Honey, it’s nothing. Married men are like this. Those who don’t have a few lovers are embarrassed to appear in the gossip of high society. Especially since you have been married for several years, and have children. Even if you are divorcing or something, it won’t be very convenient. However, don’t worry, I will follow you in your divorce, and I will try to follow you with the babies. I have done a good job of fetal education. I think they will love you more than Yuan Xi -” Of course they love me the most. But 125 wouldn’t be able to say such words. 

“You think too much. Besides, you are supposed to be my personal property.” Luo XiaoLou finally couldn’t resist the voice intended for 125’s imagination. The dog blood films had always been his favorites, especially when in this film there would be a happy ending.

A large white dog quietly came up behind them. 125 saw it from the corner of his eye. After he noticed Cloudy Sky, he immediately changed the subject. If Yuan Xi knew that he had mentioned the word divorce, he was afraid it wouldn’t be as simple as a fat beating.

“Honey, want to come up for a little training or something? A little training is good for your body’s recovery.” 125 eagerly asked. The point wasn’t that Luo XiaoLou could make small Yuan Yu gifts, it was time to make him a few energy boxes.

“No need. But I can do a little overhaul work for you first.” Luo XiaoLou glanced in little Yuan Yu’s direction, then asked Yuan Yu’s adjutant to relay to him that they were in the workshop not far away.

125 happily jumped onto Luo XiaoLou’s shoulder. He hadn’t gotten an overhaul in a long time, and this kind of work was no less essential or extremely comforting for a mecha, than an owner grooming his pet.

He glanced back over Luo XiaoLou’s shoulder, and sure enough, Cloudy Sky was following them with careless steps.

“In addition to the overhaul, I think you should also give me a change of parts.” 125 continued to make requests.

“Where?” Luo XiaoLou could not help but ask. 125 shouldn’t have lost anything..

“Helmet. The key is the helmet. I fell in love with several stylish helmets…,” Under the cloud of Luo XiaoLou’s despairing eyes, 125 enthusiastically described the details of the helmet shape.

“So, funky is the point? Actually, the point is, I really don’t hold much hope for your aesthetics,” Luo XiaoLou muttered.

Several people came from across the way. Luo XiaoLou, whose sight was blocked by 125’s body, wasn’t paying attention. The adjutant behind Luo XiaoLou wanted to help him, but was too late.

At the woman’s cry of alarm, Luo XiaoLou dodged to the side as far as possible, but was still hit.

A bony, long, good-looking hand held him. Luo XiaoLou heard a soft laugh, and then a voice asked, “Are you all right?”

Luo XiaoLou quickly stood up straight. He found three people were standing in front of him, including the man with blond hair. He was wearing a black military uniform that made him more handsome and extraordinary.

The one who was holding his arm was a woman in a dark dress. To his right was a young girl wearing a blue training uniform, Luo XiaoLou had bumped into the person on the right.

At that moment, the girl looked at him in apology because Luo XiaoLou had managed to avoid her in time. In front of the master, it was a joke.

The blond man in front of Luo XiaoLou whispered something to them, and the two women bowed and left.

“I’m fine, thanks.” Luo XiaoLou replied after a few cautious moments. If he remembered correctly, this was the same Prince Wade he had met the day before. A prince of the second level civilization, and it was said that this Highness was as much in the limelight as Yuan Xi.

However, since he had just woken up, and didn’t understand the current state of affairs and politics, he didn’t want to have anything to do with such a prince at all.

Prince Wade’s gaze fell on Luo XiaoLou’s face, and he said with a smile, “This is good. If I heard correctly just now, you are a mecha maker?”

Luo XiaoLou hesitated a little, but said, “Yes.”

Prince Wade quickly said, “Oh? I was just trying to let the lady observe my mecha, but I found a problem. Can you take a look at it for me?”

“I’m afraid I can’t. I haven’t come into contact with the mecha of a second level civilization.” Luo XiaoLou frowned and refused.

Prince Wade didn’t back down. Between his lightly raised eyebrows, his smile carried warmth. “If it’s convenient for you, help me take a look. My mecha maker is out today. If it’s really difficult, I’ll wait until he comes back.”

Luo XiaoLou was too embarrassed to refuse again, and had to take him along to the workshop. 125’s eyes glowed, while Cloudy Sky had a disapproving look on its face.

Luo XiaoLou first helped 125 and Cloudy Sky with their overhauls. Although his body hadn’t fully recovered, his Yuan Power wasn’t damaged in the slightest, so he quickly finished overhauling the two mecha, and solved some minor problems along the way.

His Royal Highness Prince Wade sat elegantly on a sofa to the side. He didn’t mind the long wait. On the contrary, as he watched Luo XiaoLou’s skillful movements, his eyes sparkled slightly.

Finally, Luo XiaoLou inspected Prince Wade’s mecha. Although he was reluctant at first, Luo XiaoLou quickly became serious when he finally came into contact with the advanced mecha of a second level civilization. He was even a little excited, and secretly paid attention to the structure of the mecha as he inspected it.

The problems with the mecha were quickly checked out. Luo XiaoLou had forgotten to hide his deftness long ago, and using his Yuan Power, he solved the problems quickly. He also changed a part on Prince Wade’s mecha to make the mecha move more smoothly and naturally.

If, at first, Prince Wade just wanted a reason to contact Luo XiaoLou, now he couldn’t help but truly appreciate him. He had extremely good feelings towards well-behaved and neat people, and when he first met Luo XiaoLou, he gave him both of these feelings.

Now Luo XiaoLou, with his technique and aura as he repaired the mecha, his gentle and perfect movements, his bright eyes that looked towards the gods, was even more dazzling.

Luo XiaoLou felt tired when he came down from the console. He quickly sat down on the sofa and said, “It’s fixed. Do you want to try it?”

Prince Wade smiled, “Yes, please. My name is Wade. May I ask your name?” At the same time, he surreptitiously swept a look over 125 and Cloudy Sky, who glared at him. Of course he knew that they were the Prince of the An Empire’s mecha, but it would be too much of a pity if this gently smiling youth were to become Yuan Xi’s lover.

Luo XiaoLou pursed his lips. He hesitated, and was wondering how to answer, when the door of the workshop where he was working suddenly opened.

This wasn’t very polite behavior, especially without informing Luo XiaoLou, but he didn’t get angry because he saw that it was Yuan Xi who was standing at the door with Yuan Yu in tow.

When he saw the person inside, Yuan Xi’s face instantly darkened as he glanced at Luo XiaoLou, then he turned his head to Prince Wade and said, “Your Highness Prince Wade. Your adjutant is looking for you.”

A trace of chagrin flashed across Prince Wade’s face, but he kept his smile, and said to Luo XiaoLou, “Thank you very much today. Then I will leave first. See you sometime.”

After he said that, he greeted Yuan Xi again, and left the workshop.

Yuan Xi’s face became unusually ugly. He came over and tugged on Luo XiaoLou’s arm then headed for his lounge. Although the action was rough, the force of the hand that held Luo XiaoLou’s wrist was gentle. After the family and the two animals entered the lounge, an adjutant guarded the door.

Yuan Xi pulled Luo XiaoLou to his side, and sat down before he asked unhappily, “What did you do when you stayed inside there with him for so long?”

“I just helped him check his mecha. I tried to excuse myself but he was very insistent,” Luo XiaoLou said. He followed Yuan Xi’s forceful movements, and almost leaned into Yuan Xi’s arms.

“Don’t pay any attention to him in the future. Even if he asks,” Yuan Xi said immediately.

Was it really  okay to offend a second level of civilization like that? However Luo XiaoLou still replied, “Okay.”

Yuan Yu, who was sitting across from them suddenly said, “Daddy, I’m done with my morning training. Where is the gift you have for me?”

Yuan Xi’s attention shifted, and he looked at Luo XiaoLou as well.

Luo XiaoLou smiled and took out the storage box he carried with him. After he opened it, he took out a small plate from inside.

Yuan Yu’s eyes lit up. “Wow, it’s ice cream! Thank you, Daddy, I love it!” He had never received such a gift before.

Surprised, Yuan Yu looked at his ice cream. It was on a small dish, in the shape of a naive little fat cat. Yuan Yu hesitated for a while before he picked up the spoon and started to eat. But after he tasted a bite, his dimples appeared again, and the frequency of the spoon also accelerated.

Yuan Xi’s expression changed. He quietly looked inside the storage box, found that there was no other ice cream, and couldn’t help but secretly sulk.

Luo XiaoLou didn’t notice Yuan Xi’s look. Since Yuan Xi had been ignoring him, then alternately reprimanding him lately, he didn’t yet understand Yuan Xi’s thoughts. He only knew that Yuan Xi still cared about his body.

Luo XiaoLou took out a thermos bucket with aromatic corn rib soup and served it to all three of them. Then he took out the main food inside and set it in front of them. Simple fried rice with eggs.

Yuan Xi looked at Luo XiaoLou, and silently picked up the spoon. Although his heart complained, he had to admit, even the egg fried rice was very delicious. And it wasn’t just egg, but lean meat, cut carrots, onions, then lined with green beans. The color looked good, and the taste was also very good.

The point was, he hadn’t eaten food made by Luo XiaoLou for a long time.

After father and son almost licked the plates clean and finished the soup, little Yuan Yu looked up with crystal eyes and asked Luo XiaoLou, “Daddy, which chef made this? I want to eat it next time!”

Luo XiaoLou’s mouth showed a smile, “Daddy made it. If you like it, I’ll–“

“It’s awful! Not allowed to do it again in the short term!” Yuan Xi suddenly interrupted Luo XiaoLou’s words.

Luo XiaoLou looked at Yuan Xi, but he wasn’t angry. He put down his spoon, and began to drink his soup. While little Yuan Yu turned his wet black eyes to his father, he also didn’t speak. He vaguely felt that his father had a reason for saying no.

Yuan Xi looked up, saw the leftover rice on Luo XiaoLou’s plate, naturally reached for it and quickly ate it all.

Afterwards, Luo XiaoLou wrapped his arms around little Yuan Yu and began to nap on the bed. Little Yuan Yu was excited for a long time before he finally fell asleep.

Yuan Xi came over after the two were asleep, and lay down next to Luo XiaoLou. He took Luo XiaoLou’s hand. Then he took off the two rings from around his neck, and put them on for both of them.

These were their wedding rings. Since Luo XiaoLou’s accident, he had worn the rings on his own.

As he stared at the ring on Luo XiaoLou’s finger, his heart settled down. He lowered his head, and gently kissed Luo XiaoLou’s hand.

As he looked up a little, Yuan Xi found that Yuan Yu was watching him from within Luo XiaoLou’s arms with eyes that shone. Then he whispered, “Father, I saw it.”

 

Yuan Xi stiffened, but Yuan Yu quickly closed his eyes. He couldn’t teach his son a lesson, and lay down stuffed with anger.
