When Chu Xiao returned to his room, he turned on his headlight and felt relieved when he didn't see any news about him on the star network.

Knowing his reputation outside, he had not cared about it before, but for the sake of face, the Chu family had already warned that any tidbits about Chu Xiao that appeared on the Star Network would be deleted immediately.

The title of the Chu family was obtained with meritorious deeds. The ancestors have made great military exploits and have come step by step to the present. The Chu family has a certain degree of real power in the military and has the right to speak. Unlike some dukes in the Emperor Star who only have the right to speak. title.

Everything about Chu Xiao, except for the text information of the Duke's Palace certified by Star Network, not even Chu Xiao's photos appeared on Star Network.

Two years ago, when he was having the craziest time playing outside, he hugged her from left to right, and was kissed on the cheek by two people at the same time. This scene was filmed from a distance, and it was widely circulated on the Star Network.

Even though the distance was too far and the picture quality was a bit blurry after being magnified many times, Chu Xiao's outline was still captured. He looked really good.

The man and woman next to him were both gorgeous and beautiful, but the Chu family was very efficient. They took action within a few minutes. The photo was deleted from the entire Internet, and even hacked into the optical brain of the person who took the photo, without even saving it. .

Although there were no photos, the incident still spread among the people of the Emperor Star. As for the sixteen-year-old heir of the Chu family, Feng Jing fell instantly. He felt that Chu Xiao had been hugging him from left to right since he was young, and he would not be able to do so when he became an adult. It must be terrible.

Of course, Chu Xiao didn't care about this. He just followed what the Emperor Star people thought, and just got along like this. In the first year, there were news about various fights, but this year, it has completely become the kind of scandal that is flying all over the sky. He did not live up to the "expectations" of the people of Emperor Star.

However, due to the power of the Chu family, no full-face photo of him has been taken until now.

Even if there is, there is a special investigation system that will screen the star network. If a photo of Chu Xiao is found, after confirming it again, if it is really Chu Xiao, it will be automatically deleted, which is very efficient.

When he went out, as long as Chu Xiao did not reveal his identity, no one would know that he was the heir of the Chu family, so he took Shen Ruo out to play with peace of mind today, even if he met someone who knew him, in front of him, Nor would he say those words.

According to other members of the Chu family, it was thanks to their family's control of part of the empire's communications field, otherwise the Chu family's face would have been completely disgraced by Chu Xiao.

Therefore, in the past two years, the news about Chu Xiao was only known to the people of the Emperor Star. It was basically passed down orally, spread out from this so-called aristocratic circle, and then gossiped by people outside.

Obviously many people, including some civilians on the Emperor Star, know that Chu Xiao is an unlearned playboy who has been addicted to these things since he was sixteen or seventeen years old, but no photo of him has ever appeared on the Star Network. This so-called gossip, Nothing can be conclusively proven.

Chu Xiao is coming of age soon. The Chu family has put a lot of restrictions on him this year. As he gets older, he has restrained himself and no longer lets the news leak. Even if he is still changing partners frequently, if he stops the news, it will not spread as much. Guang, at most it is only known by those at the top.

A part of the people of the Emperor Star who were keen on eating melons were actually a little unaccustomed to Chu Xiao's calmness this year.

However, the Emperor Star is not just members of the Chu family. Various actors, stars, nobles and high-level people are also happy to see some exciting news.

As for Shen Ruo, Chu Xiao was not worried. Shen Ruo didn't know anything at first glance.

Even if he had searched for his information on the Star Network before he came, Shen Ruo would not have seen any negative news except for the few official lines of the Chu family introducing his birth date and growth history.

If Shen Ruo is not a veteran in the Emperor Star, if he knows where to look for any information, or if he uses some hidden words to replace it, he will definitely not find it.

――――

Because she went to bed early, Shen Ruo woke up early the next day.

He slept soundly this time, because he was really tired after running all day yesterday, and his mood improved. He came to Emperor Star and let go of his worries and thoughts.

But after washing up, Shen Ruo stayed in the room alone and suddenly didn't know what to do.

When he was at home, he had to help with farm work every day. After graduating in the second half of last year, he stopped studying. The money in hand was enough for him to live on, but it was far away to go to high-end schools on other planets for further studies. not enough.

The second uncle and the second aunt still have two children to support. The situation on the farm has not been very good in recent years. They can have enough food and clothing, but they are not very wealthy.

Shen Ruo thought about a government loan, but he knew that he was not good at school. Shen Yi fell ill again, and his second aunt had to go to the hospital to take care of her. If he left, only his second uncle and Shen Hong would be left on the farm. Just too busy.

So Shen Ruo finally stayed on Cross Planet. His life was busy but also fulfilling. There were familiar people and things here.

He has no lofty ambitions, and such a plain and mediocre life is actually okay. At least Shen Ruo was satisfied when he stayed.

Compared with the confusion when I woke up today, yesterday's joy seemed to be separated by a layer of veil. Shen Ruo sat on the edge of the bed, frowning sadly.

Yesterday, Chu Xiao took him out to play in order to comfort him, but he couldn't always go to Chu Xiao, he still had to go to school.

It was still early, before six o'clock, and he couldn't stay in the room, so he went out.

If there was anything he could do, it would be better than eating free meals at the Chu family.

If Shen goes to find the housekeeper, he must know what kind of work the Chu family has to do.

The Chu family's manor-style mansion was very large. Everyone in the Chu family lived in the main building, and he was also placed in the main building. There was a reception building and a training building in front of it, and a building for servants on the side.

Shen Ruo's guest room was on the second floor. After he went downstairs, he didn't see the housekeeper in the lobby and didn't know where he was.

There were maids busy in the morning. Shen Ruo saw an older maid who was cleaning with a cleaning machine in the hall. She saw that she was not very busy, so she walked over to ask.

"Good morning, sister, I would like to ask where the housekeeper is."

Shen Ruo was very polite, because the other party was older than him, and even called her sister, and she spoke very well.

He was a guest, and the maid often cleaned the main building. She knew that. Seeing Shen Ruo asking herself, she stopped working in the book and told him kindly that the housekeeper might be doing morning exercises in the garden now.

After thanking her, Shen Ruo left the main building and went to the garden to find the housekeeper.

After walking in the garden for a long time, Shen Ruo turned around a flower bed that was in full bloom. Just now, a servant told him that the housekeeper would be here soon. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked over, he hit the housekeeper who ran over. Face to face.

The housekeeper is a bit older, but he is in good health. His running movements are light and not fast, but there is already a layer of sweat on his forehead. He is wearing a suitable training suit specially prepared for running.

"Good morning, housekeeper." Shen Ruo greeted him with a smile, her voice still soft and polite.

"Good morning, Master Shen." Seeing that Shen Ruo seemed to be looking for him, the housekeeper's trot turned into walking. Seeing this, Shen Ruo followed him while walking and talking.

"What's wrong, Master Shen?"

The butler had a decent smile on his face.

"I wanted to ask if there is anything I can do to help. It's okay to just stay in the room. I can do a lot of work."

Shen Ruo was serious about what he said. He really knew how to do farm work, weed weeds, feed cattle, thresh rice, and drive several types of agricultural vehicles.

The housekeeper didn't expect him to say this, but he did see Shen Ruo's boredom.

A simple little Asian from a remote planet, he couldn't do anything else and was bored, but he was a guest, and no matter what the Chu family did, Shen Ruo would not be allowed to work.

In fact, after finishing speaking, looking at the butler's troubled expression, Shen Ruo also felt that these words were too abrupt.

He didn't think so much just now, he just wanted to kill time, because he didn't know how long he would live in the Chu family. It was fine for a short time, but if it lasted a long time, he wouldn't know what to do. It would be too boring.

He only knows how to work and not do anything else. On Planet Cross, demi-humans who have farms at home will help with work. This is also part of their daily life.

Even if he doesn't work anymore, he has friends he knows on Planet Cross that he can go to. Even if he goes out to find a place to play by himself, he is very familiar with them and is not afraid of anything.

This was not the case in Emperor Star. Apart from the Chu family, he couldn't think of any place to go and no one he knew.

But the request he made to the housekeeper was so unreasonable. Shen Ruo was now embarrassed, lowering his head and his cheeks were slightly red.

Will this make the housekeeper think that he is deliberately expressing himself and finding such a clumsy and incomprehensible reason

He didn't consider the Chu family's situation at all. He didn't need to be like this at all. Moreover, Shen Ruo was also a little worried whether his words would make Chu Xiao or the old lady unhappy.

Shen Ruo was so upset that she almost didn't dare to go see the housekeeper, feeling frustrated that he said such stupid things. He didn't know anything, he couldn't even speak, so he might as well stay in the room, even if it was boring.

"Master Shen has good intentions, I can understand."

The butler spoke considerately. He had observed Shen Ruo, and the simplicity was almost written on his face, without any twists and turns.

His mind was quite sensitive. After realizing that he had said the wrong thing, he lowered his head dejectedly and felt the low pressure all over his body. He was standing next to Shen Ruo, so of course he could feel it.

"If there is nothing to do, I can take Master Shen to the reception building. There are many entertainment facilities there, as well as a special movie room. You can also make your own movies..."

The housekeeper was introducing Shen Ruo and planning to take him around when Chu Xiao's voice suddenly sounded.

"What's wrong?"

Chu Xiao came out of the main building and happened to see Shen Ruo and the housekeeper walking past the garden. Shen Ruo lowered his head and looked uninterested.

"Master."

The housekeeper stopped, and Shen Ruo also stopped.

"Chu Xiao."

Seeing Chu Xiao, Shen Ruo tried his best to look good and said hello to him.

It was just six o'clock, and it was not yet Chu Xiao's school time. He was wearing training clothes, and his forehead was wet with sweat. He had just done indoor training, and now he was out for a run.

Shen Ruo discovered Chu Xiao's habit of getting up early for training the morning before yesterday.

"Why are you unhappy?"

Chu Xiao was trying his best to calm down the panting caused by high-intensity training. He asked Shen Ruo with a smile, but he was looking at the housekeeper.

The housekeeper hesitated for a moment, knowing that Shen Ruo was sensitive and was afraid of hurting his self-esteem by speaking out, but after Chu Xiao looked at him for a while, he still told the truth.

"Master Shen is kind enough to ask if there is anything he can help with in the mansion. There are no other arrangements for today. I am discussing with Master Shen whether we should go to the reception building. There are many entertainment facilities."

After the embarrassment was told, Shen Ruo stood there, originally looking at Chu Xiao's raised face, but lowered it again, very sad, fearing that Chu Xiao would be angry if he thought he had too many things to do.

Seeing Shen Ruo's actions, his head was dejected and his shoulders slumped, Chu Xiao chuckled.

He couldn't guess other people's thoughts, but Shen Ruo's thoughts were the best. They were basically written on his face. If he could ask him to go to the housekeeper, he must be too bored and looking for something to do.

Hearing Chu Xiao's chuckle, she knew that he was not angry, but Shen Ruo became even more upset. Chu Xiao must have thought he was stupid, so he laughed like this.

"If you're bored, I'll show you something."

Chu Xiao was still panting slightly and said to Shen Ruo with a smile.

Shen Ruo looked up and saw Chu Xiao smiling softly. She didn't laugh at him anymore and followed Chu Xiao towards the training building.

After going up to the second floor, Shen Ruo followed him into the equipment room and watched Chu Xiao take down a thick board from a high shelf.

Shen Ruo looked at it and recognized it as a flying board, which he had seen in Area A yesterday.

"Have you ever played this?"

Chu Xiao asked Shen Ruo if it was because of the sweaty hair on his forehead after training, which looked a little sexy. Moreover, Shen Ruo also noticed that Chu Xiao seemed a little different today than yesterday.

"No." Shaking his head, Shen Ruo had indeed never played with a flying board, and one was very expensive.

"I'll teach you." The smile on Chu Xiao's face grew bigger, he said to Shen Ruo and led him outside.

Chu Xiao went out first, Shen Ruo was a step behind him, but Chu Xiao was waiting for him outside.

Looking at the smile on Chu Xiao's face, Shen Ruo suddenly understood the difference. Chu Xiao's smile was sunny and bright, which was different from the gentle gentleman's smile yesterday.

But for Shen Ruo, no matter what kind of smile he has, Chu Xiao is the best. He is good-looking, has a good personality, and is a very nice person.
