Qiao Xi's sentence "Are you tired of living?" made Lu Heng really speechless. He really didn't know whether to say that his daughter-in-law was too powerful, or that he was too useless in his mother's heart.
"Mother." Lu Heng said disapprovingly, "I am not convinced by what you said, why am I tired of living? Instructor Jiang is not such a cruel person, and I am not that bad, am I?"
"You were born by me, don't I know how much you weigh?" Qiao Xi said.
Xuanying laughed out loud, Qiao Xi heard it, and said with a sullen face: "Xuanying, do you still have the face to smile? One of you broke your promise, the other sneaked around, and you are completely ashamed!"
Lu Heng: "...the queen mother, calm down."
Xuanying: "...the queen calms down."
Qiao Xi calmed down, said "Follow me" to Lu Heng, and walked towards her palace, Lu Heng followed.
When they arrived at the palace, Qiao Xi asked what happened to Lu Heng and Jiang Li. She also heard about Jiang Li being transferred to the military academy as an instructor, but she didn't expect that it happened to be Lu Heng's instructor, and this little brat of hers still treated him I had this thought.
"Literally, my future daughter-in-law." Lu Heng said succinctly.
Qiao Xi really never thought that her son would have a relationship with Jiang Li, and from what he said just now, it seems that he hasn't chased anyone yet.
Before the incident on the planet Will, Jiang Li had been living as a Beta, but he was powerful, handsome, loved and admired by everyone, and countless people courted him.
It's just that I haven't heard of anyone he accepted in these years. For him, the people around him are divided into three categories: superiors, subordinates, and friends.
Although Qiao Xi talked against Lu Heng, in the eyes of his parents, his son was always excellent.
However, if his son is looking for someone who is much better than him, that's another matter.
Thinking of this, Qiao Xi frowned and asked, "The future? You're not wishful thinking, are you?"
"Of course not!" Lu Heng retorted. Although the relationship has not been formally confirmed yet, judging from Jiang Li's reaction, he doesn't hate him and even likes him a little bit. It's just that he is still too weak now, so he must at least take down the machine first. Only by giving him the trophy of the A competition can the relationship be clarified.
"Then you didn't use your identity to chase after others, did you?" Qiao Xi asked again.
"...Am I this kind of person?" Lu Heng looked at her speechlessly, not to mention that he didn't bother to do such a thing, first of all, Jiang Li was not the kind of person who would be willing to be chased by force, after all, he broke up on the first day he took office. own bed board, and hit Kate.
Of course Qiao Xi knew that her son was not that kind of person, so she nodded and said, "Although I am not familiar with Major Jiang, I have heard a lot about him and admire him very much, so you remember Never force him."
"Queen, please rest assured, the master will not do such a thing." Xuanying said.
Lu Heng heard it make a sound to reassure himself, thinking that he had risked the storm and let it out from the basement, and the next second he heard it say: "Instructor Jiang is not something that ordinary people can force. Do it with the strength of the master." not."
Lu Heng: "..." Shut up.
Qiao Xi's anger towards Xuanying still hasn't dissipated. Hearing its sound, she said in a cold voice, "Shut up, I'll deal with you later."
Xuanying: "..."
Qiao Xi looked at Lu Heng: "Tell me honestly, are you serious about Major Jiang, or is it just a whim?"
"Of course it's serious." Lu Heng immediately stated his position, and said with a serious face, "If he didn't disagree, I would have brought them back."
Qiao Xi nodded, very satisfied with his attitude.
Although Jiang Li has dug his own glands, in the eyes of most people in this interstellar world, he is no longer a complete Omega, but Qiao Xi is not included in these people.
For her, glands and information are just the catalyst of emotions, and they do not represent everything. People's emotions should be controlled by the brain.
If Lu Heng is serious about Jiang Li, and Jiang Li doesn't object, then she would like to hear it, after all, in her impression, the other party is really a very good person.
"If you have a chance, bring it back home and let me meet your father." Qiao Xi said.
"Okay!" Lu Heng nodded with a smile. Seeing that her face had improved a lot and the anger she had just dissipated, he said while the iron was hot, "Then I don't need to transfer schools, right? Cross-school love is too unsafe."
What he said made Qiao Xi's attention drawn away by Jiang Li's matter just now come back, and he snorted coldly: "You seem to have caught up with someone, put other things aside first, and leave Xuanying behind." Now, you can go back."
Xuan Ying whispered: "No..."
Lu Heng: "My mother..."
"I'm not joking with you." Qiao Xi was not as angry as before, she had calmed down, but her tone was still strong, "I won't pursue what happened to you before, but what you promised me, I hope you will keep your word. "
Lu Heng once promised her that when she grows up, she will not be admitted to the military academy, will not enter the army, and will not go out to war. Because of her soft heart, she agreed to him to go to the military academy, but now she can no longer let him take Xuan Ying away because of her soft heart.
Many years ago, when her two eldest sons were still alive, her husband once said that the younger son was also born to go to war, and that he would be as outstanding and invincible as his two elder brothers.
At that time, she didn't stop her youngest son from learning battlefield command, mecha combat, etc. She just wanted to let him do what he liked, and let him fulfill his dream of fighting in the galaxy.
It wasn't until her two sons died in battle that she realized that the world was impermanent, and if she was not careful, she would never see them again.
Thinking of the corpses of the two sons sent back by their subordinates, their shirts were soaked in blood, they hugged her and said they would wait for their triumphant return, but they lay in front of her and could no longer open their eyes.
For a long time, she dreamed that the next person to fall would be Lu Heng. She was anxious, restless and even afraid. She couldn't bear the pain of losing a loved one again, so she could only use her own method to force him to break the original dream.
Her husband once said that her actions like this undoubtedly broke Lu Heng's wings, suppressed his potential before he had grown up, and turned him, who was extremely talented, into a mediocre person.
Why doesn't she understand these things? She gave birth to her son, and she knew very well how outstanding he was. He should have stood at the top and looked down on everyone. It's just that as a mother, emotions overwhelm rationality, and she doesn't want her younger son to follow the old path of her older son.
Even if he will resent himself for it in the future.
Lu Heng fell silent, and his eyes fell on the black ring on his index finger. After a while, he still shook his head at Qiao Xi: "I'm sorry, mother, I can't give it to you, please forgive me."
Qiao Xi's hand was clenched instantly. Judging from Lu Heng's attitude just now, she had expected it, but she couldn't help but feel disappointed when he refused again, and looked straight at Lu Heng: "Lu Heng, you really Why are you so determined to confront me?"
When she said this, it was more chilling than disappointment. She couldn't help thinking of her two sons who died young, and her voice trembled a little.
Hearing the vibrato in her words, Lu Heng felt pain in his heart, and reached out to shake her hand: "Queen Mother, don't be sad, that's not what I meant..."
"Shut up." Qiao Xi shook off his hand, "Now that you've grown up, I can't control you anymore, right? You don't even listen to me, why do you care if I'm hurt or not? Why don't you just..."
"I'll take care of it." Lu Heng interrupted her in a low voice, "If I didn't care, I wouldn't have locked the Xuanying in the basement back then. Empress, do you know what the Xuanying is to me?"
Qiao Xi turned her head in silence, and Lu Heng continued: "For me, it is not just a mecha. After the big and second brothers left, it is the belief left by the two brothers. , it can be a little bit easier for me, and I have not been happy for so many years."
Qiao Xi was shocked, and turned to look at him: "Are you blaming me?"
"No." Lu Heng shook his head. "I just want to tell you that I don't want to be a mediocre person. I want to be like the two imperial brothers. When danger comes, I can stand up and protect you and this country."
In Qiao Xi's impression, when Lu Heng first received the Xuanying, he excitedly took her to look at it, pointed to the Xuanying and said that when it grows up, he and Xuanying will protect her.
The past cannot be traced back, Qiao Xi suppressed the embarrassment in her heart: "I don't need your protection, you just need to protect yourself well."
"But I want to protect you." Lu Heng said seriously, "I also want to protect my father and brother, and now I have another person I want to protect."
"There are so many guards in the empire, we don't need you. As for Major Jiang, he is better than you, so don't even think about protecting him." Qiao Xi still didn't let go.
Lu Heng knew that the matter would not be so easy to solve, so he changed his method and retreated: "Mother, otherwise, the military academy is still five years away. I will go to school first, so you can think about it slowly, okay? Let Xuanying go first. On my side, it is also for my safety, after all, it is quite dangerous for us to go out for actual combat training."
As soon as he said it was dangerous, Qiao Xi frowned, and became angry again: "I told you not to read this, you go!"
"Queen, please don't worry!" Xuan Ying quickly stated, "I will definitely protect the fourth prince."
Qiao Xi snorted coldly, looking into Lu Heng's expectant eyes, his ears were filled with the words "I've been unhappy for so many years" just now, she couldn't say the words of refusal, in the end she could only grieve Said: "Go back to your place, it's annoying to watch."
"Okay!" Lu Heng immediately got up to leave when he heard this, and finally remembered something, "Mother, look, I will have a daughter-in-law soon, brother Huang is in his thirties and is still single. Shouldn't you be taking care of it too?"
Qiao Xi: "..."
These words hit Qiao Xi's inner worries, and said angrily to the maid: "Call me the third prince!!"
On the way back to the palace, Lu Heng ran into Lu Qi who was rushing over. Seeing his bitter face, he felt very happy. He wondered who told you to do the "brothers are birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes" , now you know you are wrong? !
Although Qiao Xi didn't explicitly agree to Lu Heng's proposal, she didn't refuse either. Lu Heng returned to the military academy that afternoon.
When he arrived in Zone D, it happened that everyone was resting at halftime. There was only one adjutant on the training ground, and there were no figures of Jiang Li and Joel.
Lu Heng was eager to share with Jiang Li the results of his half-persuaded mother, and asked the adjutant to ask Jiang Li's whereabouts, and then went to find someone.
Jiang Li was on the back hill of the training ground. Lu Heng saw him leaning against a tree just as he passed by. He was overjoyed and quickened his pace. When he got closer, he realized that there was another person there. It was the last time he and Joel came to look for Jiang Li. One of two Alphas away.
Seeing the other party, Lu Heng paused, just in time to hear the other party say: "Major, I admire and like you very much. When I come back from this mission, can you give me a chance?"
Lu Heng: "..."
I'll go back for a long time, and someone will pry the wall
