Chapter 39
Chapter 39
Unlike Lance's depression, Lu Qiao slept surprisingly soundly.
When I opened my eyes the next day, I was still rolling half a circle on the bed in a daze.
Taking advantage of the trend, he completely retracted into the arms of the people around him.
Lance was looking at him without blinking.
Omega just woke up in a haze, giving people a sense of complete dependence.
Especially when he was leaning in his arms, his sleepy eyes were dim, and he was about to wake up, but when he opened his eyes, he subconsciously looked at him.
This appearance is enough to soften the heart of any alpha.
That pretty face seemed to be covered with a layer of innocence that doesn't know the world.
But he knew that Lu Qiao was not such a person.
However, he is still willing to be confused by this moment, and then indulge in it.
"Why haven't you left..."
Lu Qiao glanced at the clock, and then leaned lazily on Lance's chest, probably because she slept soundly last night, her eyes sparkled like clear spring water after waking up: "You seem to be late?"
He kicked Lance with his shin and looked up.
Well, Lance doesn't seem very happy, looking a little gloomy.
As for the reason for this depression...
He flipped over lightly, pressed down quite vaguely, and looked closely at Lance's face: "Did you sleep very late last night?"
Lance pressed Lu Qiao's waist with one hand, and stopped his petty petting movements, then hugged him and got up: "What do you think?"
Working hard in the middle of the night, your partner can fall asleep directly in front of you... For any alpha, this ranks among the top five most frustrating events.
Lu Qiao didn't answer, she just stretched out her hand and let Lance dress him up in a familiar way, with a little smile on her lips.
In the next second, he was hugged into a fiery embrace.
"I really don't feel it?"
Alpha's voice had a hint of gnashing of teeth.
He buried himself in Lance's warm chest, cleared his throat and drew out his voice, with an unconcealable sense of sloppyness: "Who knows, I was very angry at the time and didn't want to talk to you... But, I actually fell asleep , do you really need to learn more—oh!"
The water on the water platform was still wet, and the clothes Lance had just put on him had already declared the end of today's mission.
Morning savory dessert?
He looked up at the clean mirror on the ceiling of the bathroom, thinking wildly.
Aware of his distraction, Lance pulled his mind back with a bit of force.
"Don't be distracted."
It was clearly a declarative command sentence, but it sounded quite boring, as if it was a bit... wronged?
"..." Lu Qiao stretched her body and chuckled, "Whether you concentrate or not depends on your performance, brother."
On weekdays, Lu Qiao doesn't like being called "brother" - it always gives him a subtle sense of inferiority, and it's boring.
Especially since he has an elder brother who is not close to him.
He only likes to call Lance by his first name.
So when the elder brother called out, Lance paused immediately.
Then he looked up at Lu Qiao, and saw Lu Qiao leaning back on the table with his hands, his chin raised slightly, looking down at him with a half-smile.
He had to admit.
He loved the proud attitude of the person in front of him.
"Are you awake now?"
Lance suddenly leaned over, kissed his forehead quite tenderly, and then stared at him without blinking.
"Didn't I wake up early...w!"
The alpha who was trained day by day in the military department did have a proud physique.
Lu Qiao shivered physiologically, her fingernails dug into his shoulder, and her voice soared to the sky: "Honestly... how did you solve it when I wasn't around?"
"The military has a virtual warehouse, but I haven't used it... After all, it's not you." Lance answered every question, his voice was calm and undulating - just looking at his upper body with a neat collar, it was impossible to tell what he was doing.
That is self-sufficiency.
Lu Qiao licked her lips: "I don't mind if you use those things...Anyway, I also—s!"
Lance really increased his strength.
Gee.
He knew that his alpha had always complained about his pretty and cute gadgets.
Lance has always disliked anything entering him other than himself.
But he has always dismissed Alpha's excessive sense of territory.
The body belongs only to himself, and in this regard, he will always go his own way.
But he admits that sometimes he likes to see Lance agonizing over it.
Also love how focused Lance is on kissing him next, and the madness that's possible.
That's right, although the continuous rain is gentle, it can easily make him sleepy.
He is always fond of storms, no matter spring or summer.
But Lance is always calm, like a spring mountain that has not yet thawed, the only movement is the slight sound of the stream in the canyon.
In this regard, Lance's explanation is that he is afraid that if he can't stop it, he will be hurt.
He hadn't taken it seriously before.
From today's perspective...Lance was indeed not lying.
"Enough--" Feeling that he has followed Lance long enough, he grabbed Lance's collar, "I haven't had breakfast yet, I'm hungry!"
After a while, Lance stopped and pecked his cheek lightly to show the end.
By the time he finished changing into his second suit, Lance had already brought breakfast to his lips.
"Military training has already started..." Lu Qiao realized later, and picked up the topic when she just woke up, with a slightly hesitant tone, "Aren't you going?"
The Lance in his memory, unless there is an injury, will never miss functional training.
Comparing Lance's daily words and deeds, he reckoned that for Lance, functional training is not only a habit, but also an instinct carved into his genes, just like eating and drinking.
Otherwise, how could his alpha be so powerful... He glanced at Lance quietly.
It was because his cheeks were flushed and the corners of his eyes were moist now that Lance didn't realize that this look had any other meaning.
"I'm on leave." Lance was taking out the freshly warmed milk from the window of the robot, and put it in front of Lu Qiao. "I'm going overseas tomorrow."
"..."
"what happened?"
Noticing that Lu Qiao was unusually quiet, Lance looked at him, and then put on an extra thin coat for him.
"Five years, 365 days a year, this is the first time you asked for leave to accompany me..." He said slowly, "And there is no reason, neither I was sick nor you were injured."
Very strange.
In those days, he was unavoidably sick several times throughout the year, and Lance was on missions abroad.
Sometimes when standing in the consulting room, or making medicine for myself before going to bed, there is always a busy tone on the other end of the communication, which remains unchanged.
He didn't bother to call anymore.At most, it is to take the drug list to Lance.
By the time Lance found time to return to his video, he would have been fine.
"I was wondering if I treated you too..." He swallowed a few mouthfuls of hot milk, "When I heard that you asked for leave to accompany me, I was... not used to it."
Not only was he not used to it, but his heart was so soft that he even spoke a little slower.
Not to mention the anger last night, it has long since disappeared.
Lance remained silent, reaching out to wipe the milk stains from the corner of his mouth.
"But you don't have to do this... There is nothing important, it's not good to ask for leave."
After saying this slowly, he didn't continue the topic, but simply put away the dishes, sat next to Lance again, and opened the star map.
"I wanted to show you a detailed look at this place yesterday."
Lu Qiao circled a small area in mid-air, which is located on the straight line connecting the seventh star and the black star belt, next to a small smoky crimson nebula.
"Rose triangle?"
"Ah."
The rose triangle is a famous observation sight.It is said that when viewed from a distance on the Lover's Bridge in Midsummer Night, you can see the crowded nebula shaped like a bouquet of roses.
This is also the original origin of the name Rosette Nebula.
Due to the obstruction of small celestial bodies, this area has always been a blind spot of the military's field detection. Fortunately, the Zerg rarely set foot here.
Traditional patrol routes bypass this small area.
"Last month, I found traces of Zerg infestation here at my observation point..." Lu Qiao paused, and raised his mouth, "That planet is my private territory. The observation point just built, the military should It's unobservable."
From the very beginning of the empire, it was established that the nobles' private property was sacred and inviolable.No state agency can easily get involved in the private star domain of nobles, especially for a behemoth like the Percy family.
Therefore, even if Lu Qiao's star may be the only place in the empire where the rose triangle can be observed, no one would say such stupid things as "incorporate this planet into the military headquarters".
Everything on this planet belongs to Lu Qiao only.
"I know you will also receive news, but your military department can't see this place, so I collected some information, just in case."
The traditional observation points of the military are actually sufficient for the defense system.
But as Lu Qiao said, just in case.
"When you come back from patrolling, my botanical garden will be finished, remember to come back and accompany me."
He stared unblinkingly at Lance, who was flipping through the papers.
"Of course," Lance seemed to have just woken up when he heard the words Botanical Garden, "By the way...did you say before that you planned to inspect it before it was completed?"
"Yeah, what's the problem?" He said softly.
"Be safe," Lance squeezed his hand, "I'll be back as soon as possible."
"When the bug swarm comes, remember to wear a protective chain just in case," Lance asked, "Where's the chain?"
"Here," Lu Qiao handed it to him, the transparent chain had a faint glint of luster, "it was put away before."
So Lance leaned over to tie him.
There is also a chain hanging around Lu Qiao's neck, and a round medal is hanging from the chain.
He knew this round seal, it was left to Lu Qiao by Lu Qiao's father.
Whenever there are important events, Lu Qiao will take it with him, saying that his father will protect him in the depths of the star sea.
……
A silver light streaked across the sky, indicating that the army had set off to leave the planet.
Lu Qiao looked at the sky for a while, until the ray of light disappeared completely, until the clouds cut by the silver light gradually gathered and merged.
Ding—a message came from Guang's brain:
【Hina: I have reached the seventh star. 】
【Haina: My brother said that I want to go to the botanical garden with you, and I want to go too. 】【Haina: By the way... I don’t know if you still remember Luo Xi.He returned to the Seventh Star with me, so he probably broke up with your brother. 】【Lu Qiao: Alright, I'll take you with me. 】
