Chapter 25 Chapter 25. Compensate me, give me a kiss. ……

    Under the scorching sun, the overgrown grass around them concealed the figures of the two, so that it was impossible to tell that there were two living people standing there unless one looked closely from a distance.

    Xue Hu Su moved his wrists and rotated his neck. Yan Zhou Ping, similarly equipped, stood behind him.

    “When are you going back to C079?”

    Yan Zhou Ping reached out and pressed down on his hat, the sunlight feeling very uncomfortable on his body.

    Xue Hu Su, next to him, lowered his hands and, feeling wronged, complained softly.

    “I definitely want to go back with Brother Xiang Li. I finally got past that group of gatekeepers…”

    Speaking of this, Yan Zhou Ping was also a little puzzled: “How did you sneak into the Main Star/Capital Planet?”

    The Main Star/Capital Planet’s detection equipment and manual screening were extremely strict. It had taken a lot of effort for Xiang Li to sneak into the Main Star/Capital Planet before.

    When Yan Zhou Ping came six hundred years ago, the scale was still small. After sneaking in, he never went out, fearing that he wouldn’t be able to get back in later.

    Xue Hu Su snorted softly, arrogantly placing his hands on his hips.

    “I was transported in piece by piece!”

    Yan Zhou Ping: “…”

    He sighed, feeling a headache. Probably only Xue Hu Su could use this method.

    “Xiang Li called us both here, what does he want to do?”

    Xue Hu Su pouted boredly, resting his hands behind his head, looking completely unruly: “And what’s with that kid named Chu?”

    “Keep that kind of talk to yourself outside. Chu Qi… when you and your brother leave, get rid of him, too.”

    Xue Hu Su frowned, his facial features twisting together, but he still didn’t retort. He also always felt that Chu Qi would ruin his brother’s plans.

    “Got it.”

    Xue Hu Su’s tone was perfunctory.

    Yan Zhou Ping was silent, slowly saying to himself, as if asking himself.

    “Your brother hasn’t opened his mind for six hundred years. Now that he’s opened it, it’s better if he hadn’t.”

    “Old Yan!”

    Just as Yan Zhou Ping finished speaking, Xiang Li’s voice came from the side. At the same time, Xue Hu Su’s voice exploded.

    “Brother!”

    Yan Zhou Ping reacted quickly, Spiritual Power erupting to lock down a small area around them.

    Xiang Li reached out, his arm shielding his face. The huge explosion caused a moment of tinnitus in both of them.

    The grass, as tall as a person, had been burned to ashes. The two were exposed on the dry soil, along with a ground full of Xue Hu Su fragments.

    “…”

    Xiang Li picked at his ear, silent as he looked at the “corpses” scattered on the ground, then tilted his head back and stretched his neck.

    Yan Zhou Ping skillfully bent down to pick up Xue Hu Su’s “fragments”.

    He thought silently in his heart, this piece and that piece, put them together and you’ll have a handsome Xue Hu Su again.

    The fragments of Xue Hu Su filled an entire sack. The commotion was so great that someone quickly came over.

    The patrol soldier got out of his mech and saw the two men. He frowned, a recording robot floating beside him.

    He glanced at Yan Zhou Ping, who was carrying a large sack, and then looked at Xiang Li.

    Patrol soldier: “What are you doing here?”

    Xiang Li didn’t speak, gently pulling on Yan Zhou Ping next to him. He hid behind him, poking at the sack containing Xue Hu Su.

    Yan Zhou Ping immediately put on an apologetic expression and explained, “We were doing an experiment and looking for an open space. We didn’t expect to miscalculate and cause an explosion. I’m sorry.”

    “I’m really sorry for alarming the Main Star/Capital Planet management.”

    Yan Zhou Ping lowered his head, not letting the robot clearly capture his face. The soil under his feet was covered with Xue Hu Su’s blood, warm and vivid under the scorching sun.

    The patrol personnel scanned the surroundings and finally turned to the sack: “What is this?”

    Yan Zhou Ping spread the sack open for him to see.

    “An experimental creature. Unfortunately, it was blown up.”

    In the office, Shen Gui was processing the documents piled up in front of him when he received a message from his subordinates.

    “The explosion at the military academy has been investigated. Someone was doing an experiment there… Hey.”

    Shen Gui tried to make himself feel important, making a show of mystery: “Guess who it is?”

    “Experiment… Professor Lai? His laboratory was destroyed, and he still wants to do experiments outdoors. He’s really obsessed.”

    Xing Zi Mu flipped through the documents in his hand, not even looking up.

    “No, it’s Yan Zhou Ping and Xiang Li!”

    “Xiang Li?”

    Chu Qi turned his head, asking with his eyes, how was it related to Xiang Li?

    Shen Gui sent the message to Chu Qi, which explained the whole story. He saw Chu Qi’s thoughtful look and wondered.

    “Chu Qi, what are you thinking about?”

    “Thinking about what to eat tonight and when the military academy will let out.”

    Shen Gui asked sincerely, “When did you start thinking about these things?”

    Chu Qi was stunned by this question and fell into thought.

    Just as Xing Zi Mu and Shen Gui thought he had figured it out, Chu Qi turned to ask them.

    “What do you think would be a good gift to give to Xiang Li in return?”

    ……

    Xiang Li brought the pieced-together Xue Hu Su to squat at the gate of the military academy. Ke Shi Zhuo squatted in front of them, chattering non-stop, while Ke Man stood next to him, staring at Xue Hu Su.

    Xue Hu Su pouted, looking around restlessly. He narrowed his eyes when he met Ke Man’s gaze, and then gave him a smiling flying kiss.

    Immediately after, he received a punch from Xiang Li.

    “Hiss… that hurts!”

    Seeing Chu Qi not far away, Xiang Li stood up abruptly.

    “Officer Chu.”

    Xue Hu Su: …

    Numb, indifferent, even a little disdainful.

    Simp.

    He raised his eyes and smelled the strong scent of his brother on Chu Qi.

    Heh, a simp entertaining himself.

    “Hey, Little Four…” Ke Shi Zhuo moved two steps closer to Xue Hu Su.

    “Who’s Little Four?” Xue Hu Su tilted his head, asking with his eyes.

    “You,” Ke Shi Zhuo said sincerely. “You’re Xiang Li’s younger brother. Welcome to join us.”

    Xue Hu Su raised his eyebrows.

    “There are two of you, and there are two of me and my brother. Why shouldn’t you join us?”

    “Which number is my brother?”

    “Same, same. Xiang Li is the strongest, ranked first.”

    Xue Hu Su shrugged: “Then… it’s my turn to sit in the second position.”

    “Are you very strong?”

    Ke Shi Zhuo saw Chu Qi coming and kicked one of the two who were squatting on the ground with their heads together.

    “Let’s go, back to the dormitory.”

    “Oh, oh, let’s go, Little Two.”

    Xue Hu Su laughed angrily. Ke Shi Zhuo didn’t care about the nickname at all and waved happily at him.

    “Idiot,” Xue Hu Su said softly, watching them leave. In his heart, he was wondering whether to take the two of them with him when he went back.

    Planet C079, that’s a good place.

    Chu Qi’s eyes fell on Xue Hu Su for a moment, nodded slightly to indicate he understood, and then took out a box from behind him.

    “A return gift.”

    Xiang Li was a little surprised. Until the box was placed in his palm, he had a rare look of helplessness on his face.

    “Return what gift?”

    “That day you gave me a box, now I’m giving you one too.”

    Xiang Li was speechless. Xue Hu Su came out from behind, reaching out with a smile on his face, imitating Xiang Li’s tone.

    “Officer Chu, do I have a meeting gift~”

    Chu Qi pursed his lips, a little apologetic on his face. He said, “I didn’t know you were coming, I’ll give it to you next time.”

    Xue Hu Su wasn’t disappointed either. He leaned into Xiang Li’s ear.

    “Brother, let’s switch identities tonight. I want to play with this Officer Chu.”

    “Get lost.” Xiang Li said expressionlessly.

    But after not being honest for a while, Xue Hu Su poked Xiang Li with his arm again. Chu Qi was walking in front of them. He tilted his head and whispered to Xiang Li.

    “Is Chu Qi conscious now?”

    Xiang Li’s eyes shifted from the box in his hand to the back of the person in front of him, then lowered, looking quite lonely.

    “I modified some of his memories.”

    “For example?”

    “He likes me and obeys my every whim.”

    “…” These words made Xue Hu Su couldn’t help but look sideways.

    Xiang Li only stared at the back of the person in front of him, his jaw slightly tense, with a serious expression, which made Xue Hu Su couldn’t help but seriously examine Chu Qi.

    He slightly pushed the side of his cheek with his tongue, his red eyes becoming even more profound.

    Back at home, Chu Qi gave Xue Hu Su a direct recommendation certificate. Xiang Li spent a minute stuffing the certificate into his hands and kicking him out.

    Chu Qi came out of the room and saw his movements, leaning his whole body against the door frame, tilting his head.

    “Isn’t he staying here for one night? Yan Zhou Ping’s house is quite far from here.”

    “He’s such a big person…”

    “How big? As old as you, over six hundred years old?”

    Xiang Li’s expression stagnated. Chu Qi’s voice was filled with laughter, not noticing the change in his expression. It sounded like a joke.

    “Officer Chu.” Xiang Li leaned over, reaching out to pull Chu Qi, resting his head on the other’s neck, slowly nuzzling.

    “Officer Chu, do you like me?”

    Chu Qi reached out and pushed, but didn’t move him, and sighed helplessly.

    “I like you.”

    Xiang Li raised his head from his collarbone, pouting, muttering, “You had a direct recommendation spot, but you lectured me for a long time, and finally let me enter the military academy through the Energy Measurement Day.”

    Chu Qi patted Xiang Li.

    “You are a person in the Empire’s training program. Even if you get the direct recommendation spot, those trainings will still be indispensable.”

    “Compensate me, give me a kiss.” A trace of cunning flashed in Xiang Li’s eyes, taking the opportunity to rob him.

    He thought he would see Chu Qi smiling and pushing him away, but he didn’t expect the other party to really lower his head. Just when they were about to touch, Xiang Li quickly turned his head, and Chu Qi’s lips finally landed on his face.

    Xiang Li narrowed his eyes, imperceptibly taking the initiative to move his face closer to his lips, not giving Chu Qi a chance to speak.

    “Kiss me deeper.”

    The corners of Chu Qi’s mouth raised in a smile, his tone like coaxing a child, gently pecking the person in front of him twice.

    “Okay, kiss you deeper.”

    “…”

    Xiang Li nestled in Chu Qi’s arms, but his heart was tinged with unease. He pursed his lips, suppressing the words he wanted to say in his throat.

    Chu Qi, I will leave the Main Star/Capital Planet in three days.

    At the same time, Xue Hu Su pried at the door but couldn’t open it, and made a soft cut, disdainfully.

    Looking at the few pots of cactus at Chu Qi’s door, an unhappy expression was written on his face. He walked a few steps and then turned back.

    “These cactus… are so ugly.”

    With this return, he couldn’t move.

    He poked at them as if he couldn’t feel the pain.

    “Let me tell you, my brother used to raise a few pots of cactus, and they were raised very ugly, but you are much better looking than them.”

    “But he didn’t raise them later, and I don’t know where they were thrown.”

    Xue Hu Su squatted on the ground, babbling, with the posture of not stopping until he had nagged the cactus until they withered.

    “?”

    Xue Hu Su tilted his head, watching the void in front of him slowly begin to distort, with sparks slowly gathering.

    Did Bai Yan have something to look for him?

    The sparks slowly formed a line of words, engraved in the void, making the surrounding air a little hot.

    Xue Hu Su’s expression became serious after seeing the line of words clearly. When he raised his head again, his eyes were already scarlet.

    Next door, Chu Qi’s house was quiet, with no sound.

    【Return to Planet C079 immediately. People from the Main Star/Capital Planet are coming to survey!】

    【What did my brother say?】
