After learning that Gu Huan accepted the Second Military Academy's invitation to an exercise.
The students of the First Military Academy were extremely excited.
Because they can finally get rid of their bad feelings. As the saying goes, distance makes beauty, and when you are close, it is easy to make enemies. They have been enduring those bad neighbors for a long time!
The excitement of being able to beat up someone they hated with a legitimate reason kept many students awake, and they even had dark circles under their eyes during training.
But the instructors failed to understand their feelings.
"Students have been under a lot of pressure lately, and they all look like they haven't slept well. They may be too worried about the upcoming drill."
Listening to the reports made by several instructors in front of him, Gu Huan quickly gave an order that all staff members would be given a day off, but were not allowed to leave the training camp.
Although the brain waves of the instructors and the students were in completely different circuits, the children immediately started to have fun when they heard about the holiday. No one explained to the instructors that they actually had no pressure and just took the holiday.
Gu Huan thought that with everyone resting on this day, he would have a more peaceful time to deal with important matters, but he was suddenly interrupted by the man who put his hands on the table.
Gu Huan raised his chin slightly, "Brigadier General Chu Lin, I remember that I can rest today."
"... ..."
"Your rest consists of staying with your official duties, Admiral?"
Chu Lin looked at himself with pity, as if saying.
—General, you don’t have any entertainment life.
Frowning slightly.
No one can stand being provoked, especially... ..when he is really a general.
So, at the edge of the planet, in front of a bar that could definitely be described as dirty and messy, a black-haired man who seemed out of place suddenly appeared. He was well-mannered, calm and composed, wearing a normal white shirt and trousers, but his figure was extremely slender and perfect. The depressed beta who happened to pass by looked at him with malicious eyes, especially around his waist and hips.
Although... he seems to be an alpha through and through.
Gu Huan could feel those overly enthusiastic gazes.
But he was very confused as to why they were looking at him like that. He had not leaked any of his pheromones and was not in heat, so why were they looking at him with such explicit eyes
Just when he was wondering, suddenly, all those explicit gazes faded away, and the restless voices also faded away.
Gu Huan raised his head with a sense of something and looked straight ahead.
The black hair fell into his eyes and walked towards him step by step.
Gu Huan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the strong alpha pheromone with the aroma of wine surrounded the tip of his nose, making every cell in his body want to stay away from the other person, but there was no extra expression on his face, and he only said lightly.
"You're late."
Chu Xinglin curled his lips slightly, looked at the eyes that seemed calm and unperturbed so close to him, suddenly raised his hand, pressed down the other's neck, and hugged him directly in his arms.
Gu Huan's body was stiff as he was held in his arms, and alarms were sounding all over his body.
What was he suddenly hugging? "Let go."
"If you stand alone for so long in a place like this, some people will think you are using your body to do business." A hoarse laugh escaped from his voice. Chu Xinglin motioned for Gu Huan to look around.
Gu Huan looked to the side.
Several beautifully dressed and glamorous betas immediately cast resentful glances at him.
Not only did some people misunderstand that he was here to do business, some even thought he was here to steal business!
He just saw some people, but he thought they were also waiting for someone, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding.
Gu Huan had nothing to say. He tried his best to be less stiff as Chu Xinglin held him and walked inside.
Relative to him.
Chu Xinglin acted like he was very familiar with the place and even greeted the bartender in a friendly manner.
He suddenly remembered the other party's self-introduction, a brigadier general stationed on a remote planet, maybe it was true. He was really very familiar with people... ...
Gu Huan walked inside silently as Chu Linxu embraced him.
"Chu Lin."
A young man's voice suddenly came from behind.
Gu Huan paused and looked sideways at the person next to him.
Chu Xinglin released his arm around Gu Huan, turned around, and recognized the man at a glance.
"Fang Yue."
Standing in front of them was a slender beta with a well-proportioned figure. His features were not beautiful, but definitely delicate. In this slum, he stood out.
"You finally showed up again."
Fang Yue's voice just started to sound a little tearful, but it stopped abruptly when he saw the people around Chu Xinglin, and gave a scrutinizing and hostile look.
"Who is this person next to you?"
"Your bed partner?"
Fang Yue's voice was full of disbelief. "When you came last time, you clearly said you didn't want a bed partner."
Seeing the admiral's brows getting more and more frowned and colder, Chu Xinglin did not dare to be vague.
"Just friends."
The boy who lives here has a sense of smell like a hunting dog in this regard. He didn't take Chu Xinglin's words to heart at all. He just reached out and hooked Chu Xinglin's arm and stuck close to him.
"Since you're fine with an alpha, then it should be OK for you to join me."
Anyway, whether you do it aa or ab, it won't form a knot, so there's no point in worrying about it not forming a knot.
Fang Yue reached out his other hand and tried to hook Gu Huan's arm but Chu Xinglin grabbed his wrist with such force that it turned blue. He raised his head and wanted to say in grievance that he was hurt, but was silenced by Chu Xinglin's expression.
"Don't touch him." Chu Xinglin's low and hoarse voice seemed to carry some kind of absolute authority. The alpha pheromones dissipated instantly, and Gu Huan turned his head away to avoid being affected.
"Why are you so fierce? I'm just making a suggestion." Fang Yue glanced at Gu Huan, his eyes burning with a raging fire of war.
Every time he walked into a bar, everyone stared at him, and he took these looks as approval.
But this time when he walked into the bar, everyone was staring at the other alpha, which made him very unhappy.
Meeting Chu Lin is a small matter.
It was indeed someone who had been here once. He was generous, had a good figure, and had a good temperament, so I wanted to date him, but after a long time, I no longer thought about it that much.
He just wanted to get his place back from Chu Lin. Once they got in bed, he could use his charm to make Chu Lin ignore that expressionless, fake and aloof alpha until he had no sense of existence at all. Presumably, compared to himself, that alpha must be as boring as a dead fish in bed.
"Since you don't want others to watch us, then just leave him here and we'll find another place." Beta said with a charming smile.
The lights in the bar were dim, and it was much more primitive than the last celebration party for Gu Huan.
The golden eyes flickered and shone on Gu Huan's face. There seemed to be no joy or anger in them, but Chu Xinglin could see the displeasure beneath the ice in Gu Huan's eyes.
So, with the idea of driving the person away, he moved closer and put his arms around Gu Huan's waist.
"I said he is my friend and boyfriend, do you understand?"
The words just came out of my mouth.
The whistles around never stopped.
Someone urged for a kiss, but was frozen by Gu Huan's gaze and touched his nose.
Gu Huan frowned and looked at the beta standing opposite him who was about to cry out of grievance. His tearful eyes did not look like a beta at all. He said coldly.
"It's just a joke, you can go on."
As he spoke, Gu Huan pulled Chu Xinglin's hand away from him, turned around and left the spot, leaving Chu Xinglin alone.
Chu Xinglin raised the corners of his lips, smiled particularly brightly, and asked the bartender for two cans of beer.
"... ... My boyfriend is shy. You guys drink, I'll go find him."
Facing Fang Yue's resentful gaze.
Chu Xinglin caught up with Gu Huan who had already walked far away, and chased him all the way to the balcony of the bar, where he found Gu Huan. He was leaning on the balcony and looking out. This was the only thing that could be praised about this bar - an open-air balcony with a wide view, from which one could see a stretch of pure white snow. Chu Xinglin also felt that, unlike the chaos and dirt just now, such a clean scenery was suitable for the person next to him.
As night fell, the wind blew from all directions. Chu Xinglin looked at the railing and stood next to Gu Huan. He handed him a can of beer at arm's length. Beer was a primitive thing that could only be bought in a bar on a deserted planet, so he came here because he was craving it.
"Are you angry?"
Gu Huan didn't look back, nor did he take the wine, he just said.
"You picked a good place."
"... ..."
"Drink?"
Chu Xinglin asked, but the other party didn't answer, so he shrugged, held the beer in his hand close to his face and warmed it.
"You don't like this place either. This place has torn off the empire's fig leaf. But do you know why it has become like this?"
Gu Huan frowned slightly, "The weather here has always been bad, so it's hard to develop."
Chu Xinglin nodded helplessly.
"Yes, that's right."
"But there are more reasons than just this to make things worse here."
Gu Huan didn't interrupt and just listened to Chu Xinglin.
"It was those interstellar pirates who made this planet look like this."
"Long ago, they endlessly mined and stole the energy here and sold it on the black market."
"They made a lot of money, but what they left behind was a desolate planet with an even worse environment after losing its energy source."
"At a time when Zerg don't appear often, they are the real termites."
"And the person who nourishes these termites is Chu Fengyuan." Chu Xinglin set his gaze on Gu Huan while saying this, and emphasized the three words "Chu Fengyuan".
Gu Huan roughly understood what kind of Hongmen Banquet this was.
It is possible that Chu Lin discovered through investigation that he had some connection with Chu Fengyuan, which is why he treated him so badly.
In fact, there was no need for the other party to persuade him to recognize Chu Fengyuan's true face, because he already knew that Chu Fengyuan was not a good person.
But now that the original owner has done that to the prince, even if he wants to get away from Chu Fengyuan, he can't, because the other person won't let him off easily either.
Even if it wasn't his intention.
When the prince comes back, he will be the first to take action.
He was not interested in making excuses for the original owner, he had done it and he did not feel any guilt towards the prince. He was not the ungrateful one, and what did the prince's hatred have to do with him? Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. Gu Huan hoped that after he faked his death and left, everyone would assume that the original owner was dead, since he was dead in the novel anyway.
“I’m already on the cliff.”
The young admiral closed his eyes slightly. The wind from the snow blew his long black hair up, like expensive silk, gleaming in the moonlight. He lowered his head slightly. "I have done something unforgivable."
"What if he is willing to forgive you?"
As Chu Xinglin said this, he took the can of warm beer and handed it to Gu Huan.
