In early September, the temperature in Emperor Star gradually cooled down.
Just two days after returning to Emperor Star, Chu Xiao's birthday arrived, and Shen Ruo was brought back to the Duke's Mansion by him. Tonight was his adult birthday party.
If it is the Cross star, September will continue to be hot for a while.
Shen Ruo was sitting on a wicker chair in the flower room on the second floor of the reception building. The windows were open and cool wind blew in. The fragrance of flowers overflowed. It was indeed very comfortable to stay here, but he was extremely sad.
The light screen in front of him was still on the chat interface, it was Shen Ping.
Almost every week, Shen Ping would ask Shen Ruo about his situation there and whether he was eating well, but he didn't dare to mention going home or say more about Crossing, for fear that Shen Ruo would miss home. .
It was only at this time that Shen Hong and Shen Yi could chat with Shen Ruo via voice. After all, their family owed Shen Ruo, so the two of them, under Shen Ping's instructions, did not say anything more to make Shen Ruo think. Unfortunate things at home.
Shen Yi was not in good health. Shen Ruo asked her a few questions and said nothing more knowing that she was recovering well now.
And Shen Yi knew that if it weren't for the credits she got from the Chu family, she wouldn't have recovered so quickly. Only with money could she buy better medicine and nutritional supplements.
Guilt makes Shen Ping's family cautious in front of Shen Ruo, and they are afraid that he will miss home, so they don't contact her very often.
The chat had long ended. When Shen Ruo saw that the light screen was still there, he turned it off. He frowned in distress.
Chu Xiao told him about the marriage again in the morning, saying that he could go directly to get the certificate today. As for the wedding, we would discuss it later.
Shen Ruo was full of reluctance, but Duke Chu called him away as soon as Chu Xiao got up. He thought about it for a long time but still didn't say it.
Tonight's banquet was very formal, and Chu Xiao's father and stepmother were also back.
Shen Ruo had already met Duke Chu yesterday afternoon. As for Wutiya, he had met him last time.
Chu Xiao's eyebrows have the erectness and handsomeness of his father, and the father and son are somewhat similar.
It's just that Chu Xiao lacks the majesty and seriousness of speech. He is handsome and handsome, which is different from Duke Chu. The man who has been on the front line for a long time and is in a high position has no expression. His appearance is resolute and tough, and he looks very majestic.
In terms of appearance, Chu Xiao was actually superior, but in terms of aura, the middle-aged man who stayed in the military headquarters all year round gave people an even more oppressive feeling.
The matter of getting the certificate is relatively simple. Just bring the gene chip and identity chip with you. Chu Xiao said it easily and asked him to get ready.
But this is a very difficult and reluctant thing for Shen Ruo. He knows that the Chu family will find someone who is a good match for Chu Xiao and is suitable for him in the future.
In the main building, the servants seemed to be nervous because the Duke and Duchess of Chu were back.
So Shen Ruo didn't wander around the main building. He thought of the flower room in the guest building and wanted to hide there, fearing that Chu Xiao would drag him to actually get the certificate.
When going upstairs, Shen Ruo saw the stairs where he fell down last time. He was still frightened, and the pace of his hurried escape slowed down a lot.
Shen Ruo, who had an ostrich mentality, felt that as long as Chu Xiao couldn't find him, he could avoid getting the certificate today, thinking about how long it could take.
Unfortunately, after hearing the footsteps outside the flower room, his plan failed. After Chu Xiao came out of his father's study, he found that Shen Ruo was not in the room, so he found him through the surveillance in the mansion.
Say Shen Ruo's name to the system, and the monitoring will start automatically. The process of finding him takes less than a minute, which is easy for Chu Xiao. He never thought that Shen Ruo was hiding from him, he just thought he was coming to the flower room to play. .
The wicker chair was for two people, and Chu Xiao sat down next to Shen Ruo.
With his arms wrapped around Shen Ruo's waist from behind, Chu Xiao seemed to be in a good mood.
He didn't tell anyone in the Chu family that he wanted to get the certificate with Shen Ruo. He knew that if he told this matter in advance, his stepmother would definitely stop him, so he planned to kill it first and then report it. When the time comes, Shen Ruo will be the one to get the certificate. his legal partner.
Leaning over and kissing Shen Ruoxi on the cheek, Chu Xiao then said: "I have nothing else to do now, go and get the certificate."
He was about to get up as he spoke, looking a little impatient.
To be honest, Chu Xiao was so anxious to get the certificate, which puzzled Shen Ruo. He knew that Chu Xiao didn't like him, but he could marry him because he wanted to do that kind of thing.
Thinking of this, Shen Ruo's eyes dimmed a little.
Seeing that Shen Ruo didn't move, Chu Xiao had no choice but to sit down next to him again. With his eyes slightly narrowed, he asked Shen Ruo, "You don't want to?"
Turning to look at Chu Xiao, Shen Ruo looked timid, but he still whispered: "No, it's just to get the certificate, it's too early."
Chu Xiao's expression made Shen Ruo dare not say that he was unwilling at all, for fear of offending him, so he could only deny it.
"You are only eighteen years old, and so am I. You are too young."
Shen Ruo looked at Chu Xiao cautiously when he spoke, and found that he had a tendency to sink his face, so he immediately said: "It's too early now, you can wait until later."
"You haven't even finished college, you've only just begun."
Shen Ruo was anxious because he was really afraid that Chu Xiao would drag him to get the marriage certificate, and he was racking his brains to think of reasons.
Chu Xiao watched from the side. Shen Ruo didn't speak loudly and looked at him with that pitiful look, which was obviously a rejection.
However, Shen Ruo has been very good in the past month and has not messed with things, so Chu Xiao rarely loses his temper.
In fact, what Shen Ruo said was not unreasonable. Getting married just after turning eighteen seemed to be too early.
"I have never thought about getting married so early."
When Shen Ruo saw that Chu Xiao didn't speak or responded, he had no choice but to continue talking. He wanted to persuade Chu Xiao.
"It's not impossible, but..."
Shen Ruo became nervous all of a sudden. He looked at Chu Xiao intently, waiting for him to say more.
"You have to show something, otherwise I have been preparing for so long and I can't fail."
Chu Xiao spoke slowly, with a low voice. He looked at Shen Ruoyi and said she was asking for favors. Shen Ruo had been very good during this period, but she looked at him with that pitiful look. He didn't want to think about it. Forcing Shen Ruo.
As for the saying that he had been preparing for so long, it actually didn't happen at all. For him, it was just getting a certificate, and it was with Shen Ruo. Although he only said this impulsively at the time, he didn't even make mental preparations for long. Just accepted it.
For Chu Xiao, as long as people stay by his side and don't mess around, it's not that he doesn't want to be nice to Shen Ruo.
Seeing that there was room for improvement, Shen Ruo let out a long sigh of relief, as long as Chu Xiao could relax.
But this "expression" is a bit difficult.
Shen Ruo didn't know what Chu Xiao was thinking, but he was still a little afraid of how he could really do that kind of thing.
After thinking for a long time, Shen Ruo raised his head and looked at Chu Xiao sitting next to him. He mustered up the courage to lightly press Chu Xiao on the cheek and quickly retreated.
Looking at Chu Xiao anxiously, Shen Ruo didn't know if he could succeed in this way.
During this period of time, whether in scenic spots on other planets or on starships, Chu Xiao would always kiss him, and he never got tired of it. He seemed to like kissing very much, so he would do this.
The Adam's apple moved slightly, because Shen Ruo took the initiative to kiss him for the first time, and Chu Xiao obviously had a smile on his face, but he quickly stopped, and said with a straight face: "That's it?"
Chu Xiao was dissatisfied and Shen Ruo was a little embarrassed, but in order not to go get the certificate, he leaned over and kissed her again.
It should be okay now, Shen Ruo looked at Chu Xiao eagerly.
"If you want to get a certificate, just say so."
Chu Xiao was still dissatisfied. He even frowned, only kissed her on the cheek, and left as soon as he touched her. In his eyes, it was indeed not "sincere" enough.
With no other option, Shen Ruo had no choice but to kiss Chu Xiao's thin lips, but he still wasn't satisfied. In the end, he kissed her with a red ear, which finally made Chu Xiao give up the idea of getting the certificate.
Shen Ruo wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. He didn't dare to look at Chu Xiao.
"Today is my birthday." Chu Xiao said. Seeing Shen Ruo looking at him in confusion, he pinched the fair face.
"So your gift?"
This was the first time I had ever asked for a birthday gift from anyone, so Chu Xiao didn't speak very loudly.
Moreover, Chu Xiao didn't care much about this before, and even hated this kind of birthday party for a few years.
Birthdays are always like this. A group of people get together hypocritically, which is pretentious and boring. Even today, he doesn't want to go there. But he thought that he and Shen Ruo can get the certificate when the birthday comes, which makes him feel much better.
Shen Ruo was stunned on the spot. After seeing Chu Xiao's bad expression, he hesitated and said, "I haven't chosen yet."
The voice was very low. Shen Ruo lowered his head and did not dare to look at Chu Xiao. He sat there holding the edge of his pants, so nervous that he didn't know what to do.
They returned to Emperor Star the afternoon before yesterday and stayed one night at the university. They arrived at the Duke's Mansion yesterday. Shen Ruo had been worried about getting the certificate, so he didn't pay too much attention to his birthday.
As for the gift, he did think about buying one, and also searched on the Star Network, but he thought that Chu Xiao had everything, and the money in his hand might not be able to buy any better gifts on the Emperor Star. If it was cheap, Shen Ruo was a little afraid that Chu Xiao would dislike him.
After living with Chu Xiao in Emperor Star for such a long time, Shen Ruo knew that what he usually ate was at prices he didn't dare to think of before.
And as the time came, Shen Ruo became extremely distressed when he thought about getting the certificate. He had been thinking about how to refuse the gift last night, but he never saw anything.
"Have you forgotten?"
Chu Xiao's voice was cold. Seeing Shen Ruo's guilty conscience, he almost hit the nail on the head.
When Shen Ruo was questioned so coldly, he lowered his head and apologized to Chu Xiao in a low voice: "I'm sorry."
This was an admission that he didn't take it to heart at all. Chu Xiao was so angry that he felt like he was gritting his teeth.
"It's okay without a gift." Chu Xiao endured the inexplicable anger. As he spoke, he leaned close to Shen Ruo's ear and spoke the following words.
"Give you to me."
The whisper in his ear made Shen Ruo panic. He looked up at Chu Xiao, his eyes full of panic.
But when Chu Xiao thought about it, he actually felt that it was pretty good. A smile appeared on Jun's face, and he suddenly became brighter.
"I've bought everything. Didn't you read it last time and know what to do?"
Chu Xiao smiled and touched Shen Ruo's head.
He was talking about what happened on the starship. The starship was sailing in the starry sky. The two of them had nothing else to do on it, so Chu Xiao asked Shen Ruo to cook for him, while he turned on his optical brain.
After Shen Ruo finished cooking and brought out the plates, Chu Xiao called him to the sofa.
Shen Ruo, who was confused, went over. He thought something was going on. Chu Xiao was looking at something with a light screen, and the mode he set was so that he couldn't see it from behind.
And when Chu Xiao pulled Shen Ruo into his arms and sat on the sofa together, and saw the scene clearly on the light screen, Shen Ruo immediately blushed and lowered his head, not daring to look.
But Chu Xiao stuck the hearing chip behind his ear, and the sound immediately reached Shen Ruo's ears. He wanted to reach out and remove the chip, but Chu Xiao stopped him and deliberately amplified the sound.
After Shen Ruo was almost bullied to tears, Chu Xiao stopped and turned off the light screen.
It was passed to him when I was chatting with Jiang Chen before. It said that he should prepare in advance and know what to do in order to avoid being secretly complained to him by his little Asian.
The movie chosen by Jiang Chen was very good. At least it wasn't harsh on the eyes. The two of them had good looks and figures. As for the content, it could be said to be a decent basic tutorial without so many messy things.
Chu Xiao was waiting for Shen Ruo to cook, so he opened it when he was bored. He was thinking about Shen Ruo, and he didn't like seeing the faces of the two people inside, so he coded their faces.
But after he saw Shen Ruo, he became interested. He called the person over seriously, held him in his arms and bullied her. He didn't do anything. He just deliberately made Shen Ruo panic and confused, but he couldn't escape. , but Shen Ruo moved around, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
The memory made Shen Ruoteng blush. In fact, he didn't see much. He kept his head down or closed his eyes, but he heard more.
"After the banquet is over tonight, let's go back to the room together."
Chu Xiao's Adam's apple slipped and his voice became a little hoarse as he spoke in Shen Ruo's ear.
But at this time, Chu Xiao's light brain rang. It was the housekeeper. Whether he wanted to celebrate his birthday or not, the Duke's Palace invited many people. It was indeed a bit busier today. Chu Xiao had to rub Shen Ruo's head and left here. .
Shen Ruo smoothed his messed up hair, his face was a little pale and no longer as hot as before. Chu Xiao's words frightened him.
Shortly after Chu Xiao left, before Shen Ruo could figure out how to reject him, someone else came to the greenhouse.
"lady."
After seeing Wutiya, Shen Ruo immediately stood up from the wicker chair, obviously nervous.
With gorgeous red lips, Wutiya was even more beautiful than in the video. She looked at Shen Ruo, curled her lips and smiled, then walked to the flower stand and pulled out a fresh pink rose.
"Shen Ruo, you also know what happened to Lance."
Wutiya spoke slowly and logically. She picked off a rose petal and gently twisted it in her hand.
During the trip, Shen Ruo learned that Lance had been sentenced. Thanks to the efforts of his mother's family, the sentence was reduced to a few months, but he still had to serve a few years in prison.
Even if you are released from intentional homicide and attempted murder, your future may not be easy.
Unless he can find a backer with a higher background in the Emperor Star, he will always have a criminal record in his mind, and these are not a surprise in the so-called upper circles of the Emperor Star.
Shen Ruo didn't know what Chu Xiao had done in this matter. When he was on the starship, Chu Xiao had asked him to sign several documents. He knew they were about Lance, but Chu Xiao hid the contents. Didn't tell him.
Shen Ruo watched his interrogation video. Lance said that he didn't care about those innocent people who were implicated. He was indeed crazy and paranoid, and he didn't know how to treat this Asian.
But he had seen the look in Lance's eyes when he looked at Chu Xiao, with admiration and nostalgia.
Shen Ruo knew what happened to Lance.
Wutiya smiled at Shen Ruo's silent reaction. She didn't stay here for long, and her red lips slightly opened: "If you want to leave, you can come to me."
After Wudiya said this, she left, leaving Shen Ruo here alone.
