Wen Shiyan felt like it sounded a little wrong. 

Why do the words of His Highness… sound so much like an oath of sovereignty?

Many thoughts flashed through Wen Shiyan’s mind in an instant.

Thinking of the immortal friendship between General Gu Huan and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that has been publicized by the media over the years.

Thinking of the scumbag who marked General Gu Huan, but never showed up during General Gu Huan’s illness. 

Thinking of the prince has never looked for an omega for so many years, and there is no candidate for the princess…

Wen Shiyan felt as if he had uncovered a royal secret.

After seeing General Gu Huan’s restrained expression, he confirmed his guess even more.

…General Gu Huan may be the omega of His Royal Highness.

After realizing that he might be robbing someone, Wen Shiyan’s legs were a little weak, even though he heard Chu Xinglin thanking him, he couldn’t stand up.

“Your Highness, you are very kind.” He flinched.

Keeping his head down until both of them entered the house, his eyes gradually turned gray.

After Gu Huan followed Chu Xinglin into the mansion, he looked back at Wen Shiyan with a disappointed expression. 

He didn’t want to say it so clearly.

But the other party really touched a point that he didn’t like.

He doesn’t want to be swayed by the estrus, but some people want him to be swayed by the estrus, making him do some unavoidable decisions, that’s why he was so disgusted and spoke so directly.

I hope that the next time he meets the omega he likes, he will not be so smart as to be misunderstood. 

They walked into the general’s mansion.

Gu Huan always followed behind Chu Xinglin with a half-body distance.

Chu Xinglin didn’t speak, so he didn’t speak, because he was struggling, whether Chu Xinglin heard what he said just now.

He probably didn’t hear it, otherwise Chu Xinglin wouldn’t have the current reaction. 

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

Gu Huan thought to himself. He just heard Chu Xinglin break the silence.

“Tbe rffw ab yf fjrlis ajgufafv ys jiqtjr.”

“P’nf rffc tlw kjcvfglcu jgbecv atf vbbg wjcs alwfr.”

“Ktjcx sbe Tbeg Llutcfrr obg tjcvilcu atlr wjaafg obg wf.”

As for why the siege was resolved, it might be because of Chu Lin.

After all, the prince knew that Chu Lin liked him.

Other than that, he couldn’t think of any other reason. 

Seeing Gu Huan’s polite appearance, Chu Xinglin suddenly missed his prickly appearance before. Maybe it’s because after living in the cracks for a long time, it’s easy to form a protective shell. Gu Huan’s attitude towards himself is much more distant than that of Chu Lin.

Although he obeyed, he couldn’t see his true thoughts clearly, as if separated by a layer of fog.

He turned his eyes, stopped, looked at Gu Huan, and asked.

“Have you been avoiding me lately?” 

When Gu Huan heard the prince’s question, he also stopped and turned his head slightly.

“No, Your Highness.”

Hearing Gu Huan’s unwavering denial, Chu Xinglin turned his head to look into Gu Huan’s eyes.

Under the golden amber, there was no depth to be seen, as if all emotions were sealed under a layer of ice, so he asked. 

“Really? So what are you up to?”

Gu Huan lowered his eyelashes slightly, speaking without any flaws.

“I’m studying how to strengthen the assault corps.”

“Although the size of the assault corps cannot be expanded for the time being, at least it can be improved in terms of weapons.” 

Seeing Chu Xinglin look over suspiciously, Gu Huan still remembered that Chu Xinglin came here in order to regain trust, so he said a few more words.

“I would like to contact a suitable mecha parts supplier, and invite a more advanced mecha designer to join the legion. But…” the admiral turned his head slightly. “It’s a little difficult.”

In order to prevent everyone from having any fantasies and expectations about the crusade against the Zerg, the empire did not train many mecha designers, and the mecha improvement technology was only in the hands of a very small number of people. Not only that, they also strictly controlled the mecha parts. The entry and exit is to prevent people from forming a large number of mecha teams.

The original owner’s regiment is already the top existence in the mecha regiment, but in the eyes of others, it is still useless and only steals merit, and it is used as waste for display, without the necessity of existence. 

One can imagine what a mecha designer is like for the Empire.

Even the mecha designers in Gu Huan’s regiment were all trained in starship repair and had nothing to do with mechas.

Gu Huan has never seen any mecha designer who specializes in mecha design.

Chu Xinglin rubbed his chin, thinking deeply in his eyes, “In this regard, I can help.” 

In order to completely crusade against the dream of Zerg.

Over the years, Chu Xinglin has secretly cultivated a group of mecha designers with the money earned from the energy stars he was awarded. The mecha parts that these mecha designers use to learn were also sold to himself.

If there is no industrial chain of mecha parts, he is afraid that one day, the Empire will block the sale of mecha parts and prevent him from forming a large army.

In this regard, Chu Xinglin has been planning ahead. 

所以太子特卫队的mecha设计技术比普通军团里的mecha设计技术，要高出至少一个量级。

Therefore, the mecha design technology of the Prince’s Special Guard is at least an order of magnitude higher than that of an ordinary legion.

Gu Huan’s eyes lit up slightly, and he even forgot that he just mentioned this just to cover up the fact that he didn’t want to go home.

Chu Xinglin also saw his excitement, and reached out to rub Gu Huan’s head. 

“As long as you are serious about doing things for me, I will never treat my own people badly.”

Only one arm away, Gu Huan could feel the hot, intoxicating smell emanating from Chu Xinglin’s body. When he rubbed his head, the fingertips pressed slightly, carrying a trace of electric current, which spread all the way to his neck.

The nerves were intoxicated by pheromones, and there was a trace of longing in the golden eyes, but this longing was soon suppressed to the deepest part of the eyes because of the thought of what happened at the door just now.

There was a hint of self-mockery in his eyes. 

Obviously… he just rejected an alpha just because he didn’t want to be in heat…

Covering the somewhat chaotic emotions in his eyes, Gu Huan lowered his head.

“Thank you Your Highness.”

“Then if there’s nothing else.” 

“I also want to water the flowers in the garden. Go and rest first.”

He glanced at Gu Huan’s vaguely resisting his approaching expression.

Chu Xinglin darkened his expression, but did not refuse. Today, he is satisfied with getting rid of the little boy who has been robbing him all the time, and getting a little closer to Gu Huan.

“Good.” 

Gu Huan nodded slightly, turned around and entered the garden. Because he just wanted to water the garden, he didn’t wear an apron.

Beneath the alpha’s golden hair, his blue eyes flashed with regret.

Originally, he wanted to see Gu Huan wearing an apron with his own eyes, but it seems that he has to wait for the next chance.

He went to the kitchen and took out a bottle of colorless premium vodka and drank half of it. 

He came back today by accident, because he saw Gu Huan talking to that little boy in the air traffic, so he couldn’t help but swoop down.

Fortunately, that little boy was much easier to deal with than he imagined, and it was because he didn’t show up that he had a slight chance to take advantage of it.

Chu Xinglin drank alone, waited for a long time, but did not wait for Gu Huan to enter the room again.

Looking out of the French window, the black-haired young man who seemed to want to extend the watering time to infinity chuckled softly in a deep voice. 

“He said he didn’t hide from me.”

Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Chu Xinglin shook his head lightly, turned and went back to the room.

Gu Huan, who was watering the flowers in the yard, stopped the movement of his hands, his eyes flickering, and he withdrew his mental power from focusing on Chu Xinglin.

Looking at the water, half of it is poured to the ground but not to the flowerpot. 

Gu Huan pursed his lips slightly.

He didn’t expect… that one day he would use his mental power to avoid a person.

In order not to attract Chu Xinglin’s attention, Gu Huan entered the room in the dark, and because he was a little thirsty, he took out a bottle of water from the refrigerator.

As soon as he took a sip, he spat it out. 

The back of his hand wiped the wet light-colored lips, and his brows furrowed.

How could there be alcohol in his house?

Oh, it’s been a long time since I came back, he forgot that someone else lived in the house.

A red cloud gradually appeared on the admiral’s fair face, his forehead rested on the cold refrigerator, and he let go of the wine bottle he was holding with his fingers. 

The wine bottle hit the ground heavily, making a loud noise.

It woke up Chu Xinglin who had already gone to bed.

“Gu Huan?!”
