Everyone watched in amazement as Tang Bai walked toward the huge mechanical vine. Each leaf of that vine was bigger than Tang Bai’s face, and it could easily imprison Tang Bai.
Tang Bai looked at the mechanical vines he designed with a complicated expression, like an old father who only had children but could not support them. There was thus a bit of restraint in his love.
Tang Bai was about to ask the mechanical vines to take care of him. Unexpectedly, countless vines swarmed towards him. Tang Bai, who was bound by the vines, was stunned for a moment. Compared with the military personnel who were on high alert all around, Tang Bai was still in good condition and quite relaxed.
He guessed that the vine had recognized his old father’s aura.
Before giving the mechanical egg to Xie Ruheng, Tang Bai often fed it energy crystals. He originally thought that the child would not remember him…
Tang Bai felt a warm current of fatherly love in his heart.
Just when Tang Bai wanted to try to cultivate the father-son relationship with the mechanical vine, a slender green vine suddenly slipped into Tang Bai’s sleeve like a human hand…
Not only did it get in, it also rubbed itself slowly and teasingly on Tang Bai’s soft and smooth skin, even moving towards the pink area.
This vine was obviously very intoxicated by such physical contact, and the leaves all over its body were curled up happily.
Tang Bai: “?!?!!!”
As the vine continued to touch an indescribable place, Tang Bai, who was surprisingly angry, turned on his optical brain, called up the program he had installed a long time ago, and pointed it at the vine to select sleep mode.
What kind of vines did he create? Dad doesn’t have a kid like you! Let labor and capital sleep!!!
Tang Bai, whose father’s love was going down like a landslide, watched angrily as the vine shrank rapidly, shrinking to the size of a palm in an instant, as it fell onto the unconscious Xie Ruheng with a splat.
The people who were originally entangled by the thick vines also fell to the ground. Several people let out a cry of pain and woke up in a daze.
In the eyes of outsiders, all this was like Tang Bai being tied up by thick vines, but then Tang Bai frowning and waving his hand, and then the huge vines disappeared without a trace. The scene was very cool.
“It turns out that the mechanical pet Tang Bai mentioned before is real.”
“Where can I buy such a pet? I also want to buy one and raise it.”
“I heard that it was designed by the Tang family, and the production cost is very high. We ordinary people still don’t need to think about it…”
Tang Bai straightened his collar expressionlessly, but the strange feeling of being touched still remained on his body, which made Tang Bai want to pull out the vine and chop it into pieces.
How on earth did these colored vines become like this?! Although mechanical pets were affected by their owners to some extent, the owner of this vine was Xie Ruheng!
Could it be that this vine also stung Brother Xie like this?
No! Cannot! Spare! Cannot forgive!
He had never touched Brother Xie like this!!!
Tang Bai clenched his fists and walked towards the unconscious Xie Ruheng. When he saw Xie Ruheng with his eyes closed, Tang Bai should have been worried and anxious, but at this moment his attention was completely attracted by that hateful vine.
Tang Bai pulled off the small group of vines curled up on Xie Ruheng’s chest, flicked the small leaves as if to vent his anger, and then put the mini version of the mechanical vine into Xie Ruheng’s pocket.
When Tang Bai put his hand into Xie Ruheng’s pocket, he touched a small, cold thing. He took it out and looked at it, and was shocked to find… wasn’t this the star button he gave to Xiao Cheng?
….
When Xie Ruheng woke up, he saw the roof of a treatment and repair cabin.
This was where?
His memory only lingered on the scene of the sudden explosion and collapse of the mine.
“Brother Xie, you’re awake!” Through a layer of isolation glass, he saw Tang Bai’s surprised smile, and Gu Tunan beside him. Qiu Yan, Lu Lu and his other classmates were also sitting in the ward.
Several pairs of concerned eyes fell on him, and Xie Ruheng was in a daze. Unknowingly, were there so many people caring about his safety?
There were many people and the room was bustling with activity. Xie Ruheng removed the isolation glass and sat up from the repair cabin. He saw the short Lu Xiaoshan who had moved a children’s bench and was holding a bag of medical comfort candies while sitting on Tang Bai’s legs.
There were so many flowers and fruit baskets that they could only be placed on the ground. Some of them were wild flowers that grew wildly in the slums. These bouquets were carefully taken care of. Although they were not as beautiful as the flowers carefully cultivated in the flower shop, they were still impressive. Xie Ruheng felt a sense of intimacy.
“We have made a contribution this time.” Gu Tunan said concisely.
Xie Ruheng used the star button’s paralyzing current to stun Qin Wei, saving the man’s life. The military took Qin Wei away for investigation and found out that the Cheng family originally planned to sell these high-grade energy crystals to the star thieves this time.
The human evidence was conclusive, and the physical evidence… was eaten up by the mechanical vines.
At first, the military was very excited when they discovered the existence of mechanical vines. When they learned that the mechanical vines evolved into this state after eating all the priceless energy crystals that the Cheng family used to trade, the military gave up on the idea of cultivating these mechanical vines in batches.
The efforts were not proportional to the rewards, and the country could not afford to support this kind of prodigal vine.
This time, the Cheng family could be said to have lost their wife and troops. Not only did they have to pay a huge fine, but they also had to deport a group of people and convict them. Cheng Wenhui was also among the scapegoats, and his original punishment of five years was directly changed to life imprisonment.
The specific rewards had not yet been issued by the military department, but Xie Ruheng’s resume had this glory added, which would be beneficial to him in both military and politics in the future.
“Congratulations, Brother Xie! Brother Xie, you have made a great contribution this time!”
“The interstellar media has reported your name, Brother Xie!”
“When you are rich and honorable, don’t forget us!”
“Thank you, brother, the doctor said that dad’s body will take a while to heal but he can be discharged after treatment.”
When Lu Xiaoshan talked about his father’s physical condition, his eyes, which had been dim and depressed during this period, suddenly burst into light.
The kid said seriously every word: “Brother Xie, you are a great hero!”
Xie Ruheng was stunned for a moment.
He was familiar with this kind of light, which was the light that the saved people had when they were looking towards their place of faith.
It was the gleam that Tang Bai always had in his eyes when he spoke to him.
Xie Ruheng looked at Tang Bai. Tang Bai held his face and looked at him with bright amber eyes. His curled eyelashes seemed to be covered with crystal light as he said in a sweet tone: “Yes, Brother Xie is a hero~”
Brother Xie was everyone’s hero.
But he was his own hero.
He would watch Brother Xie reach the top step by step and fall at the most glorious moment, but he would never fade in his heart.
As Tang Bai thought this, his heart was pierced by the thought of his hopeless but bright future, and sweet and sad blood flowed out.
Those amber eyes contained more and more complicated emotions as compared to Lu Xiaoshan. Xie Ruheng did not dare to delve into these emotions. He looked away and thought about another problem.
Even if he was in good physical condition and managed to survive the collapse, Lu Xiaoshan’s father was so weak at the time. How did he survive?
When Xie Ruheng asked his doubts, everyone said: “Brother Xie, don’t you know, it’s all thanks to your pet.”
“It’s such a big vine, it’s already on the hot search list.”
“…”
Xie Ruheng: “???”
What are you talking about? Hill-like vines? It was raised by me?
In the end, it was Tang Bai who answered Xie Ruheng: “Brother Xie, the mecha egg I gave you before hatched, and it has hatched mechanical vines…”
Xie Ruheng did not miss Tang Bai’s uneasy gnashing of teeth when introducing the mechanical vines. Looking at Tang Bai’s hand, he saw a palm-sized vine in the flower basket on the bedside. It was green and delicate, and shone with a faint metallic luster under the light.
Could such a small thing really turn into a giant and protect everyone?
Xie Ruheng picked up the small group of vines with a hint of disbelief. After taking the vines away, he discovered that the vines were pressing down on a piece of light pink cardboard in the flower basket.
That was a love letter.
Xie Ruheng had never received a love letter.
In fact, except for the enthusiastic confession from the omega in the red light district in the slums, after Xie Ruheng came to the Federal Military Academy, few people dared to confess to him in person.
One was because it was rumored that Xie Ruheng and Tang Bai were a couple, and the other was that Xie Ruheng’s own aura was too strong.
When Xie Ruheng saw this letter, he didn’t react immediately. He thought it was some kind of message that might record important information, so he picked it up and read it.
The confession on the card was in the form of a short poem, and the beautiful feelings of secret love were revealed between the lines. It was pink, and the last sentence was “I like you.”
The signature was a name Xie Ruheng had never heard of before.
This plot… seemed a bit familiar.
——”Love is also reflected in possessiveness. When Xie Ruheng became better and better and received love letters from other omegas, Gu Tunan finally couldn’t help it. He would specially say jealous words to Xie Ruheng.”
Xie Ruheng stared at this letter and his pupils trembled. He glanced at Tang Bai with difficulty, then looked at Gu Tunan, his hand holding the love letter trembling slightly.
Gu Tunan frowned in confusion. How could a love letter make Xie Ruheng so gloomy? Then he looked at Tang Bai and at him, as if looking for some recognition…
Gu Tunan first thought that Tang Bai was suspected of being with a mediocre alpha, and then he remembered that when he planned to cooperate with Xie Ruheng as comrades, Xie Ruheng violently refused his cooperation.
Could it be that Xie Ruheng didn’t want to pursue Tang Bai anymore and was going to find someone else?
How was this possible!
Gu Tunan still remembered that when Xie Ruheng was unconscious, Tang Bai held Xie Ruheng’s hand all the way, and his heart was fixed on Xie Ruheng. During the day when Xie Ruheng was unconscious, Tang Bai stayed by the hospital bed and did not leave.
Apart from anything else, high-end repair cabins could usually only be used by high-ranking officials. Xie Ruheng’s ability to use the repair cabin was only due to Tang Bai’s many efforts.
That alpha may not have marked Tang Bai, everything was just Gu Tunan’s guess, but everyone could definitely see that Tang Bai was very good to Xie Ruheng. Xie Ruheng was actually moved by a simple love letter. Was he still going to eat from the bowl and look at the pot?!
Gu Tunan, a hungry man who couldn’t even drink the soup, was angry. The midday sun shone on him, making him shine with the light of justice. He looked at Xie Ruheng with a cold expression and said firmly: “Everyone can say sweet words. Don’t be deceived by these false things. Companionship is the longest confession of love. You must cherish the person in front of you.”
Xie Ruheng’s hand holding the love letter trembled. Even though he had been mentally prepared, the words of ignoring the confession said by Gu Tunan still shocked him.
Wasn’t the person in front of him now Gu Tunan?!
Gu Tunan actually liked him?!
Gu Tunan could actually slap the person he liked?!
