After a month of interstellar voyage, the spacecraft slowly landed on a beautiful blue planet.
The news has been spreading in the federal capital recently—General Fu’s son is coming back!
When Fu Qianzhi wrote back some time ago saying that he was preparing to return to Blue Star, the Fu family was so excited that they quickly spread the news throughout the aristocratic circle to build momentum for Fu Qianzhi's return.
You should know that General Fu and the leader of the Federation were good brothers who had gone through life and death together when they were young. They had made great contributions to overthrowing the empire and were absolutely powerful. Eighteen years ago, the leader fought on the front line and successfully brought down the empire. However, his three-year-old child was abducted by the remnants of the empire and has never been heard from since. The leader's wife was heartbroken, and the leader felt guilty, so he adopted his friend's son Fu Qianzhi as his adopted son and treated him as his own son. The couple placed all their feelings on him.
From this, we can see how high Fu Qianzhi's status is in the capital circle. All the noble young masters have to stand aside when they meet him. Not to mention that Fu Qianzhi has been outstanding in all aspects since he was a child. He graduated from the military academy with full S grades, overshadowing all his peers and is expected to become a pillar of the new generation.
But after that, he couldn't bear it anymore and was exiled to the garbage planet to be the warden.
At that time, there was a big fuss. No matter how hard everyone tried to persuade him, even the leader's wife tried to persuade him, but they couldn't change Fu Qianzhi's determination. It was as if this young talent who had been outstanding for more than 20 years suddenly became stupid.
After ten years away, he finally had enough of life and decided to come back. It was obvious that he would have a high position after his return, so those who were savvy quickly brought their young people to make friends with him.
The moment the spaceship landed, not only did General Fu come to greet it personally, but all the nobles in the capital, and even the chief and his wife, came out to look forward to it.
Only Fu Qianzhi could have such a grand occasion.
In a luxurious bedroom.
"Young Master, Master Fu is back, don't you want to go out and take a look?"
The young man on the bed covered himself with the quilt and asked impatiently, "What does his coming back have to do with me?"
"… That's your fiancé, and all the nobles in the capital went to greet him, including the chief and his wife. He is of a very important status, and it would be rude of you not to show up."
"Important status? Am I as extraordinary as you?"
"You are of course the most distinguished young master in the Federation."
"Then hurry up and don't disturb my sleep."
“…Yes, young master.”
The servant retreated respectfully, closing the door behind him.
Ji Yu heard the servants leave and muttered irritably, "Who is Fu Qianzhi?"
There is no such person in my memory.
During this period, Ji Yu heard this name being widely spread in the capital, saying that he was General Fu's son.
Does General Fu have a son
Ji Yu tried hard to search for the memories of his previous life, but he had no recollection of General Fu having a son, nor did he remember when Fu Qianzhi returned from exile on the garbage planet.
But it was normal not to know. In his previous life, he had been staying in the remote Hunter Star, and he didn't know what happened on Blue Star, and he knew nothing about the interpersonal relationships among these nobles.
At that time, his identity was not enough to be exposed to things at this level.
But it's different now.
The servants had been telling him about Fu Qianzhi these days, saying that the two were engaged. Because the Fu family and the Ji family were on good terms, when Mrs. Ji was pregnant, the two families arranged a marriage. Same-sex marriage was common in the interstellar era, and the two boys did not prevent their parents from making an engagement.
Ji Yu scoffed at this so-called engagement. He heard that Fu Qianzhi must have a mental problem to give up his bright future and go to be a warden on a garbage planet. He would never marry such a person. There were so many noble young men in the capital who wanted to please him that he couldn't even choose.
At that moment, she had no interest in this fiancé. Even in her past life, Ji Qingyu ended up marrying a space pirate named Feng Xing, not this suddenly appearing Fu Qianzhi.
Certainly not someone important.
Ji Yu continued to sleep without caring.
The Fu family’s private spaceship parking lot.
As soon as the spaceship with the unique markings of the Fu family came to a steady stop, everyone became excited.
"I'm coming."
"I wonder what Fu Qianzhi has become after ten years?"
"He was the most handsome graduate of the military academy back then."
"… "
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the cabin door slowly opened and two young men standing side by side walked out.
A tall man with sharp eyes and eyebrows, a cold temperament, and a powerful presence that makes people's backs cold. Ten years have not brought many traces of age to him. The man is still handsome and dazzling like a god, but he is more mature and stable than before.
And the other one…
He was a young man with beautiful features, wearing a red sweatshirt, looking radiant and full of vigor and vitality.
Who is this? He actually came down from the spaceship with Fu Qianzhi
Moreover... although no one had ever seen this young man before, they all felt that he looked familiar.
Fu Qianzhi took Rongyu's hand and walked to General Fu.
"Father." Fu Qianzhi spoke.
General Fu immediately fixed his gaze on his son whom he had not seen for ten years, with mixed emotions in his eyes.
"you-"
This was a female voice, with slightly out-of-control emotions.
It came from the mouth of a well-maintained woman.
Fu Qianzhi looked at the couple next to him and called out, "Master, Madam."
The leader's wife stared at Rong Yu closely: "You..."
You look like my child.
Rong Yu asked, "Madam, is there something on my face?"
When the two of them faced each other, everyone suddenly realized why they felt that the young man looked very familiar.
Because his eyebrows and eyes are 70% similar to the leader's wife.
Because of the gender and age differences, if they are seen alone, others may not be able to connect the two together. But when they are in the same frame, everyone will feel that there should be a blood connection between them.
If it had been a few months earlier, they might have thought that the young man was the child of the chief's wife who had been left behind.
"Shi Yuan, I found it. I found our child." The leader's wife grabbed the leader's arm and said hurriedly, "He is our child."
"Yunshu, we have found our child." The leader comforted her in a low voice, "He is at home."
He smiled at Rong Yu sheepishly: "Sorry, my wife is not very emotional."
For a federal leader to apologize to a young man in his early twenties can be said to be very humble.
Fu Qianzhi asked: "Uncle Ji, is Aunt Ruan's illness still not healed?"
The leader sighed: "She has a heart disease. The doctor said that she will get better after a while."
Since the child disappeared and no one knew whether he was dead or alive, the chief's wife was too sad and mentally ill. Normally, she was fine. Once she saw a child who was about the same age as her son and looked a bit like her or the chief, she would treat him as her missing son. Psychologists said that there was no cure unless the child was found and the knot in her heart was untied.
A few months ago, the biological son was found. The birthmarks matched and the paternity test was OK, but he didn't look like his parents. The leader and his wife were both handsome, but the child was plain. But I heard that the child grew up in the slums and had a hard life. He never had time to take care of his appearance. I was heartbroken, but I didn't dare to say he was ugly to his face. No one knew what the three-year-old child would look like when he grew up. It was not impossible that he grew up to be disabled.
But the leader's wife's spirit was still not good, and she still kept complaining that her child had not come home yet. In this regard, the psychologist could only say that the pain had lasted too long and could not be reversed in a short time, and it would take time for her to heal.
It is not a place to talk under the sun. No matter how much outsiders join in the fun, the one who misses Fu Qianzhi the most is General Fu, who has been separated from his children for ten years. The nobles dispersed, and the leader's wife was also helped away by the leader. When she left, she looked back at Rongyu reluctantly.
Finally, only the father and son of the Fu family were left, along with an outsider, and the three of them returned to the Fu family together.
Mrs. Fu died early, and there were only two men in the Fu family. General Fu was not a father who was good at expressing his love, and Fu Qianzhi was even more taciturn since he was a child. It seemed that the father and son never said a few words when they were together. After being separated for ten years, they didn't know where to start when they met again.
But ever since Fu Qianzhi wrote back to inform him that he was coming back, General Fu was so excited that he ran around telling everyone and brought his old friends to have fun together. It turned out that his fatherly love was no less than before.
On the day he received the reply, he went to the chief with several bottles of wine. He got drunk, patted his brother on the shoulder and laughed: "This is a really good year. Your son is back, and my son is back too. Does the agreement we made back then still count?"
The leader also said drunkenly: "It counts!"
Now that the two children are back, it’s time to arrange their marriages.
So, when Fu Qianzhi, who was sitting on the sofa, directly introduced him to General Fu as "This is my boyfriend, and the lover I am going to marry and spend the rest of my life with", General Fu choked on his tea.
"Cough cough!" General Fu's face turned pale and blue.
"I'm sorry." General Fu smiled at Rong Yu, "This tea is too pungent. I'll ask the servant to make another cup for Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu, sit here and drink your tea first. Qianzhi and I haven't seen each other for ten years. There are many things we want to talk about between father and son." Then he lowered his voice and said to Fu Qianzhi, "Come with me to the study."
It was obvious that he wanted to get rid of Rongyu, but Rongyu didn't care. He believed that Fu Qianzhi could handle it.
The Fu family’s tea is quite delicious.
Fu Qianzhi gave Rongyu a soothing look and followed General Fu upstairs.
…
study.
"You either don't come back or you come back to piss me off to death?" General Fu paced back and forth in the room. "Do you think I don't know the identity of that child? Some time ago, you asked the Fu family to find out who put that child in jail, so I checked the identity of that child. You want to marry someone who has been in jail? And you brought the prisoner out of jail. Is this how you bend the law for personal gain when you're a warden?!"
Fu Qianzhi remained calm: "Father, Xiao Lianhua has committed no crime."
"Who is Little Lotus?"
“… Qingyu.”
General Fu stopped and sneered: "You have a good relationship. You even have a nickname for each other."
"Of course I love him."
"You love him, but does he love you? Are you sure he's not with you just to escape prison? He's using you!" General Fu was furious. "Even if he hasn't committed any crime or killed anyone, he was raised by pirates, and all he eats and uses is stolen money. Do you think he's innocent? If he really wants to be innocent, he should report those pirates, and the police should arrest them and send them to the Endless Prison, so that he can atone for his crime."
Because pirates were rampant during the Empire and once defied the royal power, the Federation learned from the lessons and began to vigorously suppress pirates after its establishment. The federal law is extremely harsh on pirates. No matter if they stole a copper coin or 100 million gold coins, did not kill anyone or killed many people, or were just family members of pirates, as long as they were labeled as pirates, no matter how big their personal faults were, whether they had committed evil or not, they would be sentenced to life imprisonment if caught. Even the children of pirates were born with original sin and could never turn back.
This is also the reason why there are more and more space pirates. The law does not give space pirates a chance to reform, so the children of space pirates can only inherit their father's business, passing it down from generation to generation, and living in exile all their lives.
"He has no choice about who he is raised by, and those space pirates have never killed innocent people." Fu Qianzhi said calmly, "If he repays kindness with enmity for the sake of so-called justice, will his father allow him to come in?"
Of course not, because this kind of person is more terrifying, he is a complete ungrateful person.
"You are looking for excuses to offend him." General Fu said disappointedly, "What was the school motto you learned on the first day of military school? It was to always stand on the side of justice and fairness and never waver."
"If they have to bear a greater responsibility than the mistakes they made, I think it is unjust and unfair."
"Do you want to change the law?"
“I could be a councillor.”
"… "
General Fu didn't know whether he should be angry or happy when his son, who had not made any progress in ten years, suddenly wanted to enter politics, but the reason was all for a man.
"Okay, let's not talk about his innocence for now." General Fu said, "He was in love with another man. If he hadn't been in prison, they would have been married now. You don't care about this?"
"Not in..."
"Think it over before you answer. Don't let this matter become a knot in your heart." General Fu could see through his son's thoughts the best. "The men in our Fu family are very possessive."
"…" Fu Qianzhi was silent for a moment, then said, "I care."
"I was jealous every moment because someone else had loved, hugged, and kissed him, and he had also loved, hugged, and kissed someone else. I was not involved in his long past, and missed his childhood and youth, happiness and sadness, happiness and suffering. And all of these were witnessed and possessed by another person. I was jealous to the point of madness."
"So, I can't miss the rest of his life, which is even longer. I want to accompany him through all the years and years, the joys and sorrows, the ups and downs. I want to have him before and after his death. I love him every moment, more than jealousy."
Fu Qianzhi said: "Father, I am serious."
General Fu was stunned.
He knew that his son was a man of few words and cold and indifferent, and he had never thought that he would hear such passionate and intense words from his son's mouth.
The general, who was once a powerful figure on the battlefield, found that his son was taller than him, and his eyes were full of seriousness. He was no longer a young boy who knew nothing about love.
The child has grown up.
General Fu was silent for a long time, and suddenly waved his hand as if he had aged a few years: "I will go get a few bottles of good wine tomorrow and apologize to Old Ji."
Fu Qianzhi was startled: "...Father?"
General Fu said, "You are not a child anymore. As parents, we cannot interfere with your life. Since you have chosen him, I will not say anything. You have been an excellent child since childhood, and your vision of people should be good. I just hope that the child also truly loves you. I don't care whether he is excellent or not, I only care whether you are happy or not."
General Fu did not mention the engagement again, as he was going to break it anyway. Jokes between parents were not as important as the happiness of their children.
He loved his wife who passed away young, and the biggest regret and pain in his life was that he could not spend the rest of his life with her.
How could I let my son make the same mistake again? If my wife knew, she would be so angry that she would crawl out of the ground and beat him.
