《Application For Divorce》


 CH 1

    Cheng Jin snapped out of his stupor after he was patted gently on the shoulder.


    He lifted his gaze up to scrutinize the person who had patted him with a deadpan expression, and saw a sweet and charming woman exhibiting a professional smile. In a lukewarm tone, she said, ¡°It¡¯s already your turn, sir.¡±


    Cheng Jin sprang up on his feet in alarm and trotted a couple eager steps. He then halted his pace again and spoke, ¡°Thanks¡­ Thank you for notifying me.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to be polite.¡± The woman still retained her sweet smile, ¡°What a courteous man.¡±


    To hear such a compliment caused Cheng Jin¡¯s face to burn a faint reddish tint. The woman extended her finger and pointed anew, saying, ¡°Just enter through that door, there will be a staff member present inside who¡¯ll handle all the procedures for you.¡±


    ¡°Alright, thank you.¡± Cheng Jin¡¯s stride was somewhat irregular. The tip of his heart throbbed violently when he looked up and spotted the ¡°Marriage Processing Office¡± signage. He took a deep breath and proceeded to walk inside.


    The office was very spacious and its entirety was equipped with up-to-date equipment. Marriage applications could be quickly processed if you apply directly on the internet, so there were hardly any people present in the marriage area. Those who would come were there to file divorce.


    Cheng Jin currently lived on a very large planet with well-developed scientific and technological advancements, clean air and a beautiful environment. It was specially designated as the ¡°rich district¡± and tacitly known to the society as the ¡°aristocratic bloodline¡¯s¡± residence.


    Here, there existed neither beggars nor poor people. If their assets were below a certain average and without a specially appointed title, they¡¯d be exiled to other worse planets. Crimes didn¡¯t exist here, since they would be incarcerated on another dark planet once they committed anything illegal.


    It wouldn¡¯t be much of an exaggeration to claim that this planet was simply the dream home of all humanity, it was an extremely fortunate thing to be able to live here.


    This planet, however, also had its weakness, that is, compared to its vast geographical breadth, the number of humans dwelling on it was evidently quite lacking.


    For this reason, the Supreme Court had promulgated a great deal of law for instance such as the single tax that unmarried people had to pay; obtaining a rather large incentive for marriage and childbirth once; getting three years worth of income if they have an only child; and if they had more than three children, the above mentioned would be able to enjoy various kinds of benefits without paying any taxes for life.


    Nonetheless, the birthrate for newborns had still plummeted drastically every year. For this, some members of the Parliament proposed to recruit outstanding people from inferior planets and to repose the clause of the settlement rights a bit more, but it was met with a strong objection, so the proposal was left unsettled.


    The government brainstormed a lot of gimmick in order to safeguard their birthrate.The requirement to attend personally when filing for a divorce in the divorce application office rather than applying online was among them.


    After all, most people who wanted a divorce were rather hasty, and having a staff specially care for them may be able to redeem the hearts of those who were disappointed in their marriage.


    When Cheng Jin walked in, there was already an older woman sitting inside, who seemed just as gentle. She glanced at him and smilingly greeted Cheng Jin, ¡°Good morning, sir.¡± Then got up and poured him a glass of water.


    Cheng Jin received it and sat down. He thanked her, then handed over his ID. Each person on the planet has his or her own exclusive ID. Once the ID was scanned on the machinery, all of Cheng Jin¡¯s information would then appear on the screen.


    The older woman¡¯s face remained passive even when she saw that his title had a ¡°Madam General¡±. She skimmed through all the information at a glance, and smiled afterwards, ¡°You¡¯re here to apply for the annulment of your marriage with your husband, General Lu Tao, aren¡¯t you?¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s grip on the cup of water in his hands tightened as he gently acknowledged, ¡°Yes.¡± Yet he couldn¡¯t help but feel a pang in his chest.


    She asked, ¡°Can you please tell me the reason why you intend to annul your marriage?¡± She voiced, pushing a sign forward, ¡°Although this is a matter of privacy, the law stipulated that I am obliged to ask clearly, and you must tell me in detail, otherwise your application may render invalid.¡±


    Embedded inside the sign were the provisions of law printed out on paper and stamped with a red seal. Cheng Jin swept a glance, pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment before he answered, ¡°He doesn¡¯t have any feelings for me.¡±


    The woman frowned slightly.


    In fact, she was able to surmise this eventuality as early as she viewed Cheng Jin¡¯s profile.


    Cheng Jin had been married for seven years and remained at home, jobless, while his husband applied the very next day after their wedding to be deployed to a battlefield on a foreign planet, returning only once half a year later, just two days away from his second departure.


    Since then, General Lu Tao had been commanding operations on various battlefields almost nonstop. In the span of seven years, he had stayed on the planet for only five months and three days, which definitely was a neglected figure for the newlyweds.


    Furthermore, Cheng Jin also applied to accompany the army and received the government¡¯s special authorization, only to be immediately sent back after he stayed with the general¡¯s side for a day and a half.


    Logically speaking, using these figures as reference would be enough to annul their marriage, and further persuasion was no longer necessary as it would only squander this gentleman before her¡¯s youth and would cause him to miss the best childbearing period.


    After the continuous human evolution, some men had even developed the ability to give birth. This ability could be detected after they were born, so the portion of these men could marry normal men. Presently, Cheng Jin was one of them.


    The woman examined the young man before her. He possessed an excellent appearance, with well-defined features and snowy white skin that others preferred. But right now, his expression was laden with intense dejection; he was obviously trapped in love. She recalled again the hearsay surrounding General Lu Tao.


    He was rumoured to be a hard-hearted man, close to a somewhat unreasonable character. But because of his innate combat prowess, from a measly ranked soldier, he managed to climb to a very high position in just a few years.


    Countless men and women yearned for him, and there were scandals that revolved around him; his married status had casted a bit of a mysterious tint on him. Quite a good few wanted to unearth the real identity of his partner, but all arrived at a dead end.


    At this very moment, his actual partner was unexpectedly sitting before her, wanting to dissolve the marriage that the world coveted.


    The woman restrained herself, and inquired in a lax manner, ¡°It appears to me that you still have deep feelings with the lord general. Have you not tried imploring some means to improve your relationship?¡±


    ¡°I had.¡± Cheng Jin sounded quite soft and a bit exhausted, ¡°But he still hates me¡­ No, not hate, but disgusted.¡± He exasperatedly revealed a helpless grin. With a very forced smile, he remembered all those ¡°great efforts¡± he¡¯d taken to coerce and seduce him; taking the initiative to express amicability, and even follow the former regardless of his own safety, but to no avail, the other not only looked at him coldly, there was even a trace of avoidance in his eyes.


    The woman saw his expression and mentally sighed a bit. Her voice turned to a milder tone, ¡°Perhaps you misunderstood. The lord general may be so by nature. If he truly had no feelings for you, perhaps he would¡¯ve put forward the initiative to annul the marriage, but he didn¡¯t come here©`¡±


    ¡°He will come tomorrow,¡± Cheng Jin interrupted her. His lips trembled slightly, and seemed to realize that he had lost his manners. He quickly drank a mouthful of water to gloss it over. The woman held a hint of surprise. She said, ¡°Please give me a much more detailed explanation.¡±


    ¡°A month ago¡­¡± Cheng Jin shut his eyes, ¡°He said that I should prepare.¡± He could still recall what his mood had been when he received the transmission at that time.


    Lu Tao never took the initiative to contact him. If anything happened, he would only ask his secretary to contact him or send an email to inform him. It was the first time he initiated a communication request. At that moment, Cheng Jin had mixed feelings, both of surprise and delight; his hands shook as he clicked the accept button.


    He saw Lu Tao¡¯s handsome facial features emerging on the screen. For a brief moment, he almost wanted to cry. Before he felt touched, however, Lu Tao¡¯s cold voice transmitted over, ¡°I¡¯ll be returning next month on the 23rd. When the time has arrived, you should prepare in advance, you¡¯ll be following me somewhere.¡±


    As she listened to Cheng Jin reiterating his story and looking at his flushed eyes, the woman felt distressed throughout. She said comfortingly, ¡°Perhaps the lord general didn¡¯t mean this place.¡±


    ¡°Where else could we possibly go?¡± Cheng Jin let out a bitter laugh, ¡°I can¡¯t think of anywhere else he¡¯d ask me to go.¡± The lord general would socialize and have parties, but he had never brought him to attend, not even to family dinners.


    ¡°The quickest way to dissolve our marriage would only be done by both of us in this place. There¡¯s no need to apply in advance, and no need to be reviewed repeatedly. It¡¯ll be handled immediately as long as both parties press their thumbprints and sign their names. He¡¯s always been a resolute man, he could do something like this.¡±


    The older woman heard this and already realized that her persuasion wasn¡¯t fruitful. Her eyes once more returned to the screen.


    The recorded data in his ID profile was complete. There were only so many overlapping days the two parties had co-existed under the same roof that it could be seen clearly under the marriage column that they didn¡¯t have a steady relationship, and even if the system were to judge it, the divorce application would easily pass, verification unnecessary.


    In note of this, the older woman began to tap the keyboard and keyed in the data quite swiftly on the divorce application, but before she clicked the right key of the mouse, she further probed, ¡°You really won¡¯t reconsider it?¡±


    Scanning the information on the screen over, she expessed, ¡°I noticed that your asset balance already descended below the threshold. Although you haven¡¯t opened a joint account with the lord general and you couldn¡¯t use each other¡¯s money, you could still stay on the planet even with below-the-average assets because you still hold the title of Madam General.


    Once your marriage with the lord general has been invalidated, and your asset does not return above the average value within three months, you will be banished on this planet to go live on a more inferior planet.¡± She appeased so as kindly, ¡°It¡¯s everyone¡¯s dream to live here. If you fall to an inferior planet, it will be extremely difficult for you to come return even if you wanted to.¡±


    Cheng Jin was seized in terror when he heard this. Seeing the opportunity, the woman hurriedly said, ¡°You might as well think about it again, or have a talk with the lord general. Perhaps the situation will take a turn for the better.¡±


    Cheng Jin didn¡¯t believe there would be any favourable turns. He had thought that instead of being torn apart by Lu Tao, he might as well take the initiative himself.


    Maybe he could finally end up leaving a good impression in the other party¡¯s heart, even if it¡¯s just a little bit. However, when it really came down to it, he once again felt reluctant to leave.


    By rendering their marriage null, he¡¯d no longer be able to touch the other, and may not even have the chance to listen to the other party¡¯s mocking remarks. He¡¯ll be back today, perhaps he could give him time¡­


    With this in mind, Cheng Jin rose up to leave and said, ¡°I¡¯ll consider it one more time. Thank you, I¡¯ve troubled you.¡±


    The woman lightly exhaled a relieved sigh and smiled, ¡°Don¡¯t mention it.¡±


    Cheng Jin left, his pace still unhurried. He left the door of the marriage processing office as if he had spent all his strength. He raised his head and watched the azure-filled sky, heart cowering in fear when he recalled the environmental conditions of the inferior planets he had seen on TV.


    The traffic moved back and fro, and the air was filled with miniature flight ships driving by. Cheng Jin, on the other hand, had no means of transportation.


    He was about to go on foot when the communicator on his wrist rang. It was Fei Li, the secretary of his husband, Lu Tao. Cheng Jin hesitated for a bit before pressing the communicator. Fei Li¡¯s voice came over after it connected, ¡°Madam General, please allow me to inform you of the bad news. The general was invaded and attacked by the Zerg on his return trip and was critically injured. He has been currently admitted to the military headquarters hospital. The room number is¡­¡±


    His first few sentences were the only thing that registered into Cheng Jin¡¯s mind. When he heard him mention ¡°critically injured¡±, a sudden surge of chill wrapped around his body, and his five senses were blocked. None of the following information from the other party had managed to pass his ears.

 CH 2

    Fei Li had already been standing by at the entrance by the time Cheng Jin arrived at the military headquarters hospital. He was a man in his thirties, and had an ordinary yet imposing appearance.


    Living in an era where nearsightedness could be completely removed via surgery, he was still fond of wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, perhaps purely for the reason of accentuating his features as the glasses had actually made him seem more scholarly.


    Chen Jin had crossed paths with him a ton of times. Fei Li directed a polite military salute at him and spoke, ¡°Madam, I¡¯ll take you upstairs.¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s heart brimmed with distress. Completely disregarding the past etiquette he had covertly noted down in his mind, he abruptly queried, ¡°How is he doing?¡±


    ¡°Still under emergency treatment.¡± Fei Li reported as he led the way, ¡°Lord General was injured internally by the Zerg race and his head was injected with some kind of toxic fluid when he was saving a subordinate. He¡¯s currently being operated by the top five doctors in the world.¡± He walked on a few paces, but found that Cheng Jin hadn¡¯t caught up. He paused and turned back, and saw Cheng Jin with a ghastly pale complexion.


    Cheng Jin¡¯s body was trembling, each step was so heavy that he was practically unable to move. Fei Li said, ¡°Please calm yourself. The doctor mentioned that the mortality rate was only 10%, and there¡¯s high hopes that the lord general would regain consciousness.¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s still trembling body had calmed down a bit when he heard this calculated probability, but it was just a bit. He gazed at Fei Li, and asked with great difficulty, ¡°What about the possibility of it leaving after-effects?¡±


    The Zergs, formed with huge numbers, were of cruel and savage race and were quite adept with secreting toxic venom. They once invaded a small planet that lasted for a month and had let all the humans living there be infected by an epidemic, and everyone died within three days.


    At present, they were now ranked as the second enemy of all mankind. The people who were poisoned by the Zerg¡¯s venom however, would still suffer from various repercussions even if their lives were saved. And now that Lu Tao¡¯s head had been injured, Cheng Jin almost dared not imagine what would be the aftermath for him.


    Fei Li pulled his lips, his expression grew a bit more solemn. Only after a little while did he say, ¡°It is absolutely certain.¡±


    The operating room was crowded with people by the time they arrived, including Lu Tao¡¯s immediate superior, his colleagues and also his subordinates. Sitting in a wheelchair positioned in the middle was an elderly woman with silvery-white hair and face donned with creases, there was a woollen blanket that covered her knees. She was Lu Tao¡¯s only living relative©`his grandmother.


    Cheng Jin¡¯s arrival had made the people present give him a sidelong glance, after all, everyone currently standing here weren¡¯t common civilians. Except for a few subordinates, they were all people who were aware of Cheng Jin¡¯s identity. Lu Tao¡¯s superior, Mo Si, had yet to speak when the old woman situated at the center produced a light snort in an ill tone, ¡°Why did you come here?¡±


    If it were in the past when Cheng Jin was still arrogant, he¡¯d naturally not even place anyone in his eyes, and wouldn¡¯t know what respect was. Thus, he¡¯d rudely talk back if Lu Tao¡¯s grandma spoke to him in such a manner. However, he was no longer the Cheng Jin of the past. He felt embarrassed all over, and lowly muffled, ¡°I¡­I¡­¡±


    Grandma coldy pronounced, ¡°You aren¡¯t needed here.¡±


    Cheng Jin was struck speechless, but Fei Li opened his mouth, ¡°Old Madame, Mr. Cheng is the lord general¡¯s legal spouse, and whatever happens to Lord General, Mr. Cheng legally has the first right to know the situation, so I invited him over.¡±


    When the secretary dropped the law, grandma stopped talking and no longer spared Cheng Jin a glance. She showed such an attitude that the others found it hard to talk to Cheng Jin, and it turned increasingly silent.


    Cheng Jin all the more quietly leaned against the wall, with his eyes fixed on the flashing red light in the operating room, his heart ached as if it was carved apart.


    Unknowingly for how long, the red light went out with a beep. Everyone was agitated, with worried and expectant looks plastered on their faces.


    After another minute of waiting passed, the operating room finally opened, and the five chief surgeons rushed out in line, sweat marred their faces. It was quite evident that they were extremely tired. When the head of the hospital came out, Major General Mo Si immediately greeted him and asked, ¡°How¡¯s Lu Tao¡¯s condition?¡±


    The head revealed a smile and said, ¡°He¡¯s now out of danger.¡±


    With this sentence spoken, everyone cheered, and grandma even chanted Amithaba according to an old method. Cheng Jin, who was pushed out to the outermost edge,  let out a relieved sigh and wanted to acquire more details but he struggled to squeeze through. Fortunately, Fei Li asked the question he wanted to ask, ¡°Pardon me, when will the lord general regain consciousness? Would there be any repercussions?¡±


    The head said, ¡°According to Dr. Tian, he should be waking up after 48 hours have passed, and that there will indeed be repercussions.¡±


    Everybody¡¯s expression stiffened. When they heard the word ¡°repercussions¡±, their hearts unavoidably drummed.


    They were aware of various kinds of after-effects, lighter could only affect a part of daily life, but heavier effects would cause people to suffer for the rest of their lives. More importantly, General Lu Tao¡¯s status was so significantly important, and he was incomparably skilled, but if the aftermath would affect his combat prowess, he¡¯d have to retire to the rear in the future. Because of this, an extremely promising young man was doomed to fall.


    Mo Si¡¯s facial muscles twitched, and his sharp eyes fixed straight at the opposite as he asked in a deep voice, ¡°What are the after-effects?¡±


    The head answered, ¡°He lost his memories.¡±


    This response bewildered everyone, and the head continued to explain, ¡°The doctor said that his memory chip was corroded by the venom, so he would temporarily lose all his memories, and his personality would change.¡±


    Fei Li grasped the gist of it. ¡°You said it was ¡®temporarily¡¯?¡±


    ¡°Yes, temporarily.¡± The head¡¯s tone was composed and unhurried, ¡°Dr. Tian stated that his memories will recover as before in about six to eight months, as well as his body without affecting his combat capabilities, after being treated.¡±


    Everyone was greatly relieved when they heard this, and several faces showed eased expressions, especially Mo Si, who wiped the formulated sweat on his forehead. It was known that Lu Tao was singlehandedly trained by him and his most powerful subordinate.


    He was prepared to let him 1 take over his position in the future, but if he had a major accident and needed to withdraw from the military headquarters, then his influence would be greatly lacking.


    Cheng Jin¡¯s heart had also dropped to the ground, and was simultaneously baffled.


    Lost all memories? So had he already forgotten about divorcing him?


    Did God see that he really had repented, so he gave him a bit more time?


    After receiving the good news, a large part of the crowd who were guarding here left, and Major General Mo Si greeted Cheng Jin before leaving. Without the others obstructing the way, Cheng Jin finally had the opportunity to stand in front of the person in charge and asked, ¡°Excuse me¡­ Can I see him now?¡±


    The head was a little curious, ¡°You are¡­¡±


    Grandma was still sitting next to him, her eyes heavily sinking down on Cheng Jin¡¯s face, causing him to feel a sense of guilt, but he still tried to speak in a steady voice, ¡°I¡¯m Lu Tao¡¯s partner.¡±


    The head quickly smiled and said, ¡°Yes, yes you can, but he is still in the ICU. You can only look through the glass, though you might not see his face¡­¡±


    Cheng Jin hastened to say, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± His voice trembled with delight, ¡°As long as I can see him.¡±


    The head said, ¡°Then you¡¯ll go in with me. The old madam will come along, yes?¡±


    His mother nodded modestly, and Cheng Jin hurriedly said, ¡°Grandma, I¡¯ll push your wheelchair.¡±


    The old woman glared at him, her tone raw with a hint of mockery, ¡°No need to trouble your gracious self.¡± Saying that, she pressed the autodriving button herself and followed the person in charge. Cheng Jin paused, and immediately followed suit.


    The military headquarters hospital was the best hospital in the world, with the skillfully contrived and advanced medical equipment. Cheng Jin and the others passed through the cold corridor and arrived in front of the ICU, where he saw the person lying on the hospital bed through the glass window.


    And now, this excellent man was lying on a hospital bed, with a glass cover placed on his head with numerous transparent tubes inserted, which was an alarming and extremely heartbreaking sight. Seeing this scene, grandma couldn¡¯t help but stand up to see it more clearly.


    She faced Cheng Jin with indifferent eyes, but she was full of love and affection for her grandson. Unfortunately, her legs had long been disabled, and she couldn¡¯t stand up at all. When she stood halfway and about to fall, Cheng Jin agilely held her and softly said, ¡°Be careful.¡±


    Grandma immediately glared at him, swatted away his hand, and snapped, ¡°I don¡¯t want your help.¡±


    Her words pierced Cheng Jin¡¯s heart as if resembling a sharp blade. Seeing her avoiding himself like a plague, overlapping with his husband¡¯s attitude towards himself, Cheng Jin felt uncomfortable, so he loosened his hand and said submissively, ¡°I just couldn¡¯t bear to see you fall down, I didn¡¯t have bad intentions.¡±


    Grandma sneered, ¡°You instead have too many bad intentions but no good intentions.¡±


    She braced herself to look at her grandson for a while, but found that he really showed no signs of waking up now, so she could only sit back down and taunt Cheng Jin again.


    ¡°What are you pretending now for? Expecting people to change their impressions of you? Just like an old saying goes, it is easier for mountains and rivers to change than to alter one¡¯s character. You can never get rid of your bad heart! People like you, who threaten men to marry you in every means possible, should be banished to Hell Planet and reform through labor there!¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s complexion paled. Every word uttered dulled and wounded his heart, yet he couldn¡¯t defend himself.


    When he was 17, he fell in love with Lu Tao, who was 21, at first sight. Then he used the other party¡¯s weakness to his advantage to force him to marry himself, and after a year-long tug of war, he had finally got what he wanted.


    Yet his marriage life was devoid of joy, cold and detached. He thought he¡¯d be able to capture the other¡¯s heart through skinship, yet unexpectedly, who would¡¯ve thought that his husband would choose to enter the battlefield the very next day and from then on, was indifferent to him. Even if he returned once in a while, he was unfeeling and cold to him; enough to give him chills.


    He made trouble in various ways, and concocted all kinds of schemes; his spoiled temper was magnified tenfold, but it only pushed his husband farther and farther away. By the time he repented and began to change himself, he had already lost his chance.


    ¡°I bet you¡¯re glad to hear that he lost his memory, right? Think you can use all this period to keep your husband¡¯s good feelings? I¡¯ll tell you, it is absolutely impossible! My grandson only likes children with good morals, and he doesn¡¯t have the least bit of interest with people like you!¡±


    The old woman¡¯s voice grew louder and louder, completely without qualms with the presence of outsiders. She watched Cheng Jin and grinned sardonically, ¡°I look forward to seeing the day you break off your marriage.¡±


    Cheng Jin kept his mouth clammed up, and let her mock him the entire time, waiting for her to finish before saying dryly, ¡°Nevertheless, I¡¯m still his legal partner now, aren¡¯t I?¡± His vision fell on his husband lying in the hospital bed. ¡°So I will shoulder the responsibility of being his partner and take good care of him in the days before he regains his memory.¡±

 CH 3

    Dr. Tian Qi¡¯s medicinal skills were by far the most superb on the planet. He had performed all thousands of surgeries successfully, both major and minor, and had become the role model in his profession. He said Lu Tao would wake up in 48 hours, and Lu Tao really woke up after 48 hours.


    Lu Tao wasn¡¯t allowed to leave the ICU after he¡¯d woken up, and needed  to be observed inside for about a week. During the following days, he¡¯d been in a state of lucidity, reacting to people¡¯s calls but never responding. After being transferred to the general ward, he¡¯d finally woken up.


    The military hospital had strict security, particularly the senior ward where the officers lived. But even most visitors had strict requirements to pass, so when Lu Tao woke up, in addition to the doctor, only Cheng Jin, his grandmother and Fei Li were around.


    Seeing that his husband could sit up, Cheng Jin burst into excited tears, and so did his grandma. She kept wiping the corners of her eyes with a small handkerchief, then went to grab Lu Tao¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Good grandson, my good grandson, you finally woke up! You worried grandma to death.¡±


    Her hand that reached over the latter¡¯s own did not catch its target, because Lu Tao moved his hand away. He looked at the skinny elder in front of him with wariness and puzzlement in his eyes. ¡°Who are you?¡± He paused, then looked around the people in the ward. ¡°Who am I?¡±


    Although he¡¯d known in advance that Lu Tao would wake up like this, seeing that he really had no memory, everyone still found it hard to bear. Even Fei Li looked a bit pained, while his grandma was crying sadly. Soon Fei Li said, ¡°You are the general of the imperial planet, Mr. Lu Tao. This is your grandmother and your only blood related family.¡±


    ¡°Lu Tao? Grandmother?¡± The man mulled over the two names lightly, and his eyes were still at a loss, but he soon looked at Fei Li again. ¡°What about you? Who are you?¡±


    Fei Li touched his glasses and said, ¡°I¡¯m your secretary, my name is Fei Li. And this is your head doctor, Gerson, and these two are his assistants.¡± Fei Li introduced the names of the three medical staff, and finally, his eyes fell on Cheng Jin¡¯s face and said methodically, ¡°This is your partner, Mr. Cheng Jin.¡±


    The eyes of the man sitting on the hospital bed widened in surprise then gazed straight at Cheng Jin. ¡°Partner?¡±


    Fei Li thought he didn¡¯t understand what ¡°partner¡± meant and quickly explained, ¡°It¡¯s your¡­spouse.¡±


    The grandmother said indignantly from the side, ¡°My grandson doesn¡¯t love this man, they just have a legal relationship.¡±


    Cheng Jin was embarrassed for a bit, but inside he was jumping for joy. He had never been looked at by Lu Tao like this, and the other party¡¯s eyes lingered for a long time, which he had never had the luxury before.


    ¡°I did not say it incorrectly, old madame Lu.¡± Fei Li said, ¡°Dr. Tian had told us that in order to regain the Admiral¡¯s memory, we are obliged to guide him to be familiar with everything around him. The stimulation would be too great with drugs alone.¡±

    Soon Gerson noticed that Lu Tao¡¯s eyes would fall on Cheng Jin¡¯s face from time to time, with curiosity in his gaze, he said, ¡°Today¡¯s examination has been completed, I think it would be better to let Mr. Cheng be alone with the Lord Admiral for a while. Old madame Lu, what do you think?¡±


    The grandmother¡¯s attention had always been on her grandson since he woke up, so she naturally saw that he paid special attention to Cheng Jin, so despite her inner reluctance, she said, ¡°All right.¡± Before she left, she glared at Cheng Jin harshly. ¡°Don¡¯t you deceive my grandson with ill-intentions. He will recover his memory in six months, so if you pretend again, he will also tear down all your disguises. Don¡¯t even try to make things go your way!¡±


    Cheng Jin squeezed his fingers, his face felt like it was slapped. He whispered, ¡°I won¡¯t, don¡¯t worry.¡±


    The old lady snorted coldly, ¡°How can I not worry.¡±


    After the others left, only Lu Tao and Cheng Jin remained in the ward. His husband¡¯s gaze never left him, and Cheng Jin¡¯s complexion gradually flushed red.


    He cautiously approached a few steps closer, his previous eloquence completely gone; only nervousness was left as his heartbeat raced. He closed his eyes before asking softly, ¡°Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?¡±


    Lu Tao didn¡¯t answer, so he took the initiative to pour water for him. He filled half a glass of warm water and handed it to the man. Lu Tao¡¯s gaze then shifted from his face to his hand. Eventually, he stretched out his hand and took the glass.


    When their hands touched, Cheng Jin had felt electricity coursed through all over his body, which made his breathing uncontrollably rapid. Lu Tao drank the glass of water, stared at him again, and suddenly said, ¡°More.¡±


    His tone didn¡¯t sport the indifference he used to have, which made Cheng Jin¡¯s eyes sting. He quickly took the glass, poured more than half of the water, and watched Lu Tao swallow it gulp after gulp. This image reminded him of many years ago. When he first saw Lu Tao, he was also drinking water, and he drank it like this. The rolling Adam¡¯s apple was so sexy it incapacitated people¡¯s heart. After seeing his face clearly, Cheng Jin¡¯s guts had been struck by love.


    His husband handed the empty glass back to him. Cheng Jin asked him, ¡°Still gonna drink?¡± Lu Tao shook his head. Cheng Jin put the glass back where it was.


    The whole time he moved, Lu Tao¡¯s eyes never left him, and when he turned around, his curious yet blazing gaze fell back on his face. Cheng Jin wasn¡¯t quite used to his stare, he subconsciously touched his face and asked nervously, ¡°I-Is there anything dirty on my face?¡±


    ¡°No.¡± The man suddenly showcased a smile. He had handsome features, yet in ordinary days he would usually sport an unsmiling look. Only a few people know that he had a nice, sunny smile. Cheng Jin was stunned by his smile, then he heard Lu Tao say, ¡°You are very attractive.¡±


    These four words startled Cheng Jin. A moment later, his eyes felt hot, and a runaway sparkling crystal liquid rolled down from his eyes, leaving a wet mark on his rosy pale cheeks.


    Seeing him crying, general Lu Tao showed a bewildered expression. ¡°W-why are you¡­¡±


    Cheng Jin realized he¡¯d lost his temper and quickly turned his back. He kept wiping his tears with the back of his hand while sobbing. ¡°I¡¯m fine, sorry. I don¡¯t know why I¡­ All of a sudden¡­.¡±


    Actually, he knew the reason deep in his heart. He¡¯d been pursuing Lu Tao for many years and had been walking on the road of wanting to get closer to him, but the result pushed the latter further and further away. Except in the very beginning when he had not yet exposed his heart, Lu Tao¡¯s attitude towards him was extremely indifferent that he even seemed unappealed of intimacy, let alone to compliment him.


    If Lu Tao¡¯s attitude towards him remains the same, he¡¯d no longer feel wronged because he¡¯d endured too much and had long since become accustomed to it. Being complimented like this, he instead felt he couldn¡¯t bear it.


    The more he wiped his tears, the more the back of his hand turned wet, but he couldn¡¯t control his tears from rolling down, and in the end, Cheng Jin could no longer stand, almost squatting on the ground and sobbing in a low voice.


    When he felt that he¡¯d already lost a lot of face, a paper towel was suddenly handed to him. Cheng Jin froze. He looked up and saw Lu Tao standing bent over in front of him, with a worried expression on his face.


    Cheng Jin¡¯s eyes widened. Lu Tao said somewhat hesitantly, ¡°This should be used to wipe tears, right? I have some impression of it¡­¡±


    Cheng Jin stood up in a panic and hurriedly said, ¡°Y-You¡¯re not yet fit to stand up, quickly lie down on the bed.¡± He disregarded wiping tears and went to help Lu Tao. The long-awaited touch made his heart more chaotic, especially when he felt the man pressed most of his weight on him.


    After helping his husband to lie down on the bed, the aggrieved feeling just now also dispersed. Cheng Jin wiped away his tears and asked, ¡°Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?¡±


    ¡°Not so bad, I just can¡¯t remember anything.¡± But general Lu Tao didn¡¯t worry about this point that much. ¡°Will I be able to remember in half a year?¡±


    Cheng Jin said, ¡°En. In 6-8 months, you¡¯ll be able to return to your former shape.¡±


    Lu Tao looked at him and suddenly said, ¡°Partner, spouse¡­. We are married?¡±


    Cheng Jin nodded his head, flustered. ¡°Married.¡±


    Lu Tao looked as if he¡¯s very happy. ¡°When did we tie the knot?¡±


    ¡°Seven years ago.¡± When this number was mentioned, Cheng Jin¡¯s heart was cluttered in chaos. The man, however, was surprised. ¡°It¡¯s been so long.¡± He added, ¡°But you look very young.¡±


    ¡°Eighteen.¡± Cheng Jin felt guilty. ¡°I married you when I was eighteen.¡±


    Forced by special means, the man had to become his legal partner. He still remembered when they submitted their marriage application, the system needed a wedding photo, so they went to get a shot together. One¡¯s face was full of joy and some pride, while the other was full of indifference. They were obviously happy photos, but anyone who¡¯d look at it could feel that their road to marriage wouldn¡¯t go far.


    ¡°Eighteen years old? How old am I now?¡±


    Cheng Jin responded, ¡°Twenty-nine years old, you¡¯re the youngest general on the Imperial Planet.¡± There were only 30 generals and 5 senior generals in the world, and Lu Tao could occupy one of them at this age, all because his military achievements were too outstanding.


    Lu Tao was obviously not proud about it, even if he had lost his memory now, his focus was more on between them. ¡°Then, do we have any children?¡±


    He paused for a moment, and then answered himself, ¡°I don¡¯t think there is, right? Because Fei Li just said earlier that that old lady is my only blood relative in the world.¡± He looked very puzzled. ¡°Why do we still not have any children even after seven years of marriage?¡±


    This question made Cheng Jin panic more. He didn¡¯t know where to divert his gaze. It took him a long time before he said in a difficult tone, ¡°Because I feel¡­ there¡¯s no need to hurry for the time being¡­.¡±

 CH 4

    Cheng Jin was lying.


    Even though Lu Tao had lost his memory, he could still accurately judge someone, so he was able to analyze based on the expression that Cheng Jin had shown. He knew that the other party was lying, but still deliberately asked, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you in a hurry?¡±


    Cheng Jin watched him with alarm, until gradually, a layer of crimson emerged on his face. He arbitrarily changed the subject. ¡°A-Are you hungry? I¡¯ll go get you some food.¡±


    Lu Tao no longer pushed the topic and instead nodded his head.


    Cheng Jin left the ward in a flustered mood. When he arrived at the hallway, his strength felt like it had been sapped away; he used the wall as a support to stabilize his body.


    He¡¯d never talked so much with Lu Tao in such a peaceful atmosphere. From the time the man had become aware of his backhanded thoughts, his attitude towards him turned estranged, and all of Cheng Jin¡¯s initial pursuits were rejected through and through. In addition, he¡¯d very politely rejected him. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, getting married isn¡¯t a part of my plan yet.¡±


    As human beings had gradually increased over the years, when their era arrived, men had accounted for 60%, women for 30% and men who could conceive were only a mere 10%.


    Before the decree of artificial conception of new birth was passed, the birth rate of human beings had been gradually decreasing, women suddenly heightened their standards and wanted to marry good men, rendering those average, incapable men face difficulties to seek a spouse.


    As a ¡°new female¡°, Cheng Jin had an excellent family background at that time. His father and brother were famous tycoons.


    He looked good-looking, beautiful and heroic, moreover, his skin was snow-white and delicate. When he laughed, two shallow pear dimples would show on his cheeks. He¡¯d met countless suitors since he was 15. It had been the first time he chased someone, and he was firmly rejected.


    The spoiled young master tasted what rejection was for the first time. He cried all night and began to look for suspicious rival candidates the next day.


    He had ¡°underlings¡± around him, all of whom came up to cling to the Cheng family¡¯s financial power. Naturally, what he said was absolute. Whoever he pointed at would be unlucky. For this reason he drove away several people who seemed to ¡°have something going on¡± with Lu Tao, either through coercion or bribery, sometimes just upright bullying.


    The young master thought he¡¯d get a response from Lu Tao once he removed all the obstacles, but who knew that the other party¡¯s attitude towards him would turn even colder, and when he looked at him, his eyes simply looked like they contained frost. He said, ¡°I¡¯m not going to marry you. All the things you did disgusts me.¡± He also said, ¡°Are you going to keep bullying the weak by relying on your family?¡±


    The young master was simply furious, so angry that his eyes flashed red, and finally couldn¡¯t resist telling his father and older brother about the incident.

    Cheng Jin was his mother¡¯s accidental baby.  When he was born, his father was already over 40 years old. He was considered as his ¡°late-born son¡±, and he was treated as a bright pearl, the apple of his eye. His older brother single-handedly brought him up, and attached more importance to him, almost giving whatever Cheng Jin wanted, never willing to let him suffer a little bit of injustice.


    He went back and cried, which angered his father and brother. They thought that this Lu Tao character was really blind. How could he reject their little sweetheart!


    Lu Tao¡¯s origin was thoroughly uncovered in the span of one day. When he saw the balance of his family¡¯s assets, his father and older brother disliked him and felt that he wasn¡¯t worthy of their family¡¯s treasure, however, the young master just cried and cried, wanting to marry him, so the two men reluctantly accepted it.


    Thinking about the stupid things he¡¯d done in the past, Cheng Jin now remembered and his heart had nothing but embarrasment beyond belief.


    But at that time he treated Lu Tao as an obsession, a toy that he¡¯d wanted before, and


    that no matter what method he used, as long as he gets it, it¡¯s his. But what he didn¡¯t know was that the most difficult to control were the people¡¯s will, whether with money or power. He despised himself. No matter what, what he did was in every way disgusting, and what he basically insisted didn¡¯t come.


    He sucked in deep lungfuls of air, then he walked outside and went to the cafeteria and took two nutritious meals.


    When the plate was placed on the hospital bed, Lu Tao looked at the questionable thick white stuff and showed an uncertain expression. ¡°What is this?¡±


    He¡¯s currently suffering from memory loss and could easily forget a lot of things. The doctor said it was normal and that he was very fortunate he didn¡¯t lose his language skills.


    Cheng Jin hastened to say, ¡°A nutritional soup, it¡¯s most suitable for patients like you. Although the portion doesn¡¯t seem a lot, it could maintain your bodily functions the entire day, and it¡¯s also full of vitamins and protein so you¡¯ll feel stuffed.¡± He chucked the spoon on the other¡¯s palm. ¡°I¡¯m sorry I wasn¡¯t able to personally prepare it. I¡¯ll make you real soup tomorrow.¡±


    Lu Tao took a sip of the soup, and noticed that the taste seemed familiar. His taste buds seemed to be used to this savor. ¡°I seem to drink it often.¡±


    Cheng Jin said, ¡°It¡¯s true that when you were in battle, it¡¯s practically always this same staple.¡± As a matter of fact, except for the Imperial Planet and certain agricultural planets, most human foods were like this, although its nutritional composition wasn¡¯t so great.


    A lot of places only had potatoes as their raw material for their own soup. This was because although the population on the Imperial Planet wasn¡¯t high, other planets, however, had a dense relationship with its populace, and now a lot of antagonistic groups were formed. A large scale of people were thrown into war and defense against invaders, so the crops weren¡¯t cultivated enough.


    But the humans living on the Imperial Planet were completely unaffected.


    Human beings all had an innate desire for delicious food. Although nutritional soups could provide the needs of the human body, people on this planet still preferred traditionally cooked dishes most. For example, Cheng Jin had never drunk nutritional soup until he was 22.


    Until now he still found it hard to drink it.


    The first time he drank it, he had just stuck it in his mouth when he immediately spit it out, disliking it so much that he¡¯d rather not eat than drink it. Actually, the taste wasn¡¯t that bad, it¡¯s just that he was used to gourmet food, so he couldn¡¯t adapt to the coarse taste with a tang of sweetness. However, after two days of starvation and finding no other food, he still drank the remaining bowl of nutritional soup to pad his tummy.


    After experiencing what hunger tasted like, he no longer dared to be picky about food.


    For instance, the only food he could easily buy with his money was this soup.


    Lu Tao said, ¡°No wonder. I must have drunk it many times, it just tastes a bit bland.¡±


    ¡°R-really?¡± Cheng Jin was a little surprised, it turned out that when it came to food, Lu Tao would also have preferences, something he had never noticed before.


    It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t want to know, it¡¯s just that the time they had spent together was too little. Lu Tao sharing a meal with him was a rare occasion.


    Lu Tao looked at him. ¡°You don¡¯t like it either, do you?¡±


    Cheng Jin nimbly answered, ¡°It¡¯s so-so.¡±


    He added, ¡°I¡¯ll bring you food tomorrow©`no, that won¡¯t do, I¡¯ll have to ask the doctor first to see if you can eat other food.¡± The answer Cheng Jin got after asking the doctor was yes, but he¡¯d have to avoid oily, fishy spices. There were also some special foods that he couldn¡¯t eat. While listening, Cheng Jin recorded it with the gadget on his wrist, then asked some other questions, and finally asked the highlight question. ¡°When can he be discharged?¡±


    Dr. Gerson smiled and said, ¡°Normally, the observation would take another half a month, but we¡¯ll try our best to shorten the time, after all, Dr. Tian said that it would be better for him if he recuperated in a familiar environment to recover his memory. At that time, I¡¯ll have to trouble Mr. Cheng to take care of him.¡±


    Cheng Jin said, ¡°As I should.¡± He thanked him again, and only then did he walk out of the doctor¡¯s office.


    On the way back to the ward, Cheng Jin once again checked his account balance. The figure that had long been since already below the critical point worried him. He sighed softly when he thought of the expenses he would need in the future.


    His eyes fell on the schedule displayed on the screen. He had yet internally to budget the time he needed for the work; he accelerated his pace.


    Lu Tao was lying on the hospital bed, as quiet as a puppet. Only when he heard the sound of the door opening did he turn his head. When he saw Cheng Jin, his eyes evidently lit up, and his tone actually leapt up very happily. ¡°You¡¯re back.¡±


    Cheng Jin had yet to be accustomed to Lu Tao¡¯s attitude towards him. His heart missed a beat, and then he showed a shallow smile. ¡°Yes, I just went to ask the doctor and he said you can bring your own food. I¡¯ll prepare it and bring it to you tomorrow.¡±


    Lu Tao looked at him, and his expression suddenly turned a little dubious. Cheng Jin asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    His husband showed a hesitant-to-speak expression, and after a while, he finally said, ¡°I guess it''s convenient.¡±


    When he understood what he actually meant, Cheng Jin¡¯s face instantly reddened and his hands and feet moved at the same time, somewhat at a loss. He stammered, ¡°T-Then, I-I¡¯ll help you to the toilet¡­¡± He spotted the chamber pot under the bed and asked, ¡°Or do you think it¡¯s more convenient to use this?¡±


    Lu Tao responded resolutely, ¡°Help me to the toilet.¡±


    When he rose from the bed and handed Cheng Jin a paper towel, his movements were fluid, but now he looked like he had trouble with his arms and legs. Cheng Jin had to wrap his arm around his waist and place one of Lu Tao¡¯s arms on his shoulders before helping him out of bed.


    Lu Tao is very tall, almost a head taller than him. He had a well-built, sturdy figure. Although it didn¡¯t look strong, it¡¯s actually packed with tough muscles, which was a stature the women at present liked best. When he leaned most of his weight on Cheng Jin, Cheng Jin¡¯s body staggered a bit. He grit his teeth and stood firm, then helped his husband towards the bathroom.


    Because of the heavy weight, it dispersed the panic that rested at the bottom of Cheng Jin¡¯s heart. Only when he stood before the smart toilet did Cheng Jin¡¯s embarrassment crawl up his cheek anew. He raised his head lightly and met gazes with the man who didn¡¯t have the slightest intention of unzipping his own pants. He paused before he asked in a feigned calm manner, ¡°Do you need my help?¡±


    Witnessing his blushed ears, although Lu Tao didn¡¯t know how he used to get along with his young wife prior to the incident, he now had the urge to tease him more, so he said, ¡°I certainly need one.¡±


    The flush gradually crept on his pale cheeks, even his lips turned much rosy. Lu Tao¡¯s chest throbbed when he saw this, he pondered why he hadn¡¯t had a child with this lawful partner of his before. Couldn¡¯t he have one?


    What the old lady said echoed in his mind, although the word ¡°pretentious¡± was directly dismissed by him.


    He still had his sharp-wittedness and he¡¯d be certain that his young wife before him was indeed truly timid and wasn¡¯t pretending.

 CH 5

    Ch5 - Goodbye kiss


    Three months and nine days passed since he¡¯d been this close to his husband.


    Cheng Jin figured he could undeniably keep the date in mind.


    General Lu Tao returned three months ago and stayed on the planet for five days, and in those five days, he¡¯d only stayed in their shared house for two days, and in those two days they only did it twice. The second time was when Cheng Jin took advantage of the fact that he¡¯d drunk too much at a party and snuck into his room.


    Lu Tao definitely isn¡¯t gentle in sex. He isn¡¯t a fan of foreplay nor would he let Cheng Jin lay a finger on him. He¡¯d usually use the rear-entry position, then the lights in the room would inevitably be dimmed.


    So although the two were married for seven years, Cheng Jin didn¡¯t have much experience in touching other¡¯s genitals with his own hands.


    Panic-stricken, he pulled down Lu Tao¡¯s loose pants. When he saw the behemoth bound in his underwear, Cheng Jin¡¯s face soon flushed, the same shade as blood.


    It¡¯s true that he¡¯s shameless and would use unscrupulous means in pursuing others. However, he¡¯d still been a virgin until he met Lu Tao, and up until now that he¡¯s 25, his sexual experience had only been with him, yet said experience wasn¡¯t much, so he was really a little flustered.


    His breathing hitched. A pair of slender fingers stretched out a few times, yet didn¡¯t manage to touch the other¡¯s underwear. When he felt Lu Tao¡¯s scorching gaze, Cheng Jin gritted his teeth and finally pulled his husband¡¯s underwear down.


    His fingertip brushed against lithe hair, then rubbed against that thing, the touch made Cheng Jin¡¯s heart palpitate in frenzy. He watched the emerging appearance of the pillar. Even without an erection, the size was still remarkable.


    When he imagined how it¡¯d feel like if this tool rubbed inside his body, Cheng Jin felt a little embarrassed to take another peep, and retracted his fingers. Soon, a man¡¯s voice sourced above his head, ¡°Not holding it?¡±


    Cheng Jin glanced at him shyly, then he hurriedly lowered his head when he saw his husband¡¯s smiling gaze. He finally held it gently and aimed it at the toilet seat.


    Lu Tao¡¯s hesitation dissipated after seeing his little wife¡¯s funny reaction. When he saw his blushing cheeks, he just wanted to kiss him to his heart¡¯s content, and was thoroughly convinced that he must¡¯ve used to kiss him often.


    After he peed in a lax manner, Cheng Jin gave him a gentle shake, and then put his thing back. The smart toilet pumped water automatically.


    Cheng Jin helped Lu Tao back to bed, then doubled back to wash his hands. As he washed his hands, he raised his head and scanned himself in the mirror; his complexion was flushed, and his eyes held ripples, which looked like they were nourished by emotion.

    As soon as this thought emerged, Lu Tao¡¯s initial detached appearance popped up in his mind, so cold that he looked at him as if he was worse than a stranger; his tone of voice monotone when talking to him. Suddenly, the spring-filled Cheng Jin, shuddered as if he¡¯d been splashed with cold water, instantly eliminating that train of thought.


    No! Out of the question! This condition of his would only last for half a year. Persisting to cave in once again, or if he used Lu Tao¡¯s current state to deceive his feelings, was tantamount to drinking poison to quench his thirst, and once Lu Tao returns to his senses, he¡¯d definitely be disgusted to the point of vomiting whenever he¡¯d think of the time they spent together. By then, he would even fail to leave the last bit of good impression in the other¡¯s heart.

    By the time he came out, Lu Tao was already relearning to use the light screen. Everyone on the planet had one of these devices clasped on their wrist, and even the ID card is embedded in it.The light screen could search  information, communicate with people by video, and record things, just like the phones ages ago, but more advanced.


    Cheng Jin saw him operating without much hesitation, obviously showing that this knowledge was deeply engraved in his bones and had not been forgotten even if he lost his memory. He watched from the side for a moment before stepping forward and saying, ¡°Lao-gong, I¡¯ll return first.¡±


    His husband froze for a moment, not sure if it was because he heard the title, or because he said he wanted to go back. He quickly asked, ¡°You don¡¯t stay here?¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t stay here.¡± Cheng Jin pointed to a red button next to him. ¡°If you need anything or you feel discomfort, just press this button, and the artificial intelligence nurses will soon come. If you want to contact someone, you can tap the light screen on your hand.¡±


    Lu Tao asked swiftly, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you my primary priority contact?¡± His light screen cancelled its hide-from-others mode and lit up in the air, opening exactly on the very page of the address book.


    Cheng Jin saw that his primary contact was ¡°Fei Li¡± and the second was a person named ¡°Ai Xue¡±. His name wasn¡¯t in the contact even on the next screen.


    Although he¡¯d long since already guessed about it, Cheng Jin still felt really terrible when he saw it. He quickly smiled and said, ¡°You used to be too busy. We didn¡¯t keep in touch very often.¡± He abruptly changed the topic. ¡°I should go back, If I¡¯m a bit later, the last bus will leave.¡±


    Lu Tao didn¡¯t chase him for questions and just watched him. Only when he was going to leave, he suddenly said, ¡°Not gonna give me a goodbye kiss?¡±


    Cheng Jin turned his head in astonishment, unable to collect the surprise in his face. Lu Tao gave a slightly wronged look. ¡°I just checked an article about getting along with partners. It says there that when partners are about to part, they will leave a goodbye kiss for each other.¡±


    ¡°Oh, oh¡­..¡±Cheng Jin was too flustered. Obviously he knew about it, but in reality, not all real life lovers would act like this, at least not him and Lu Tao. Of course, it isn¡¯t because he didn¡¯t want to, it¡¯s the other party who doesn¡¯t.


    Goodbye kisses between partners represent ¡°love¡±, ¡°longing¡± and ¡°looking forward to being reunited¡±. Lu Tao doesn¡¯t have these feelings for him so naturally, he doesn¡¯t want to kiss him.


    To be honest, their kisses so far could be counted in fingers, and all of them were Cheng Jin¡¯s initiated sneak attacks.


    And currently, the man who didn¡¯t like Cheng Jin touching him, takes the initiative to ask for a goodbye kiss.


    Cheng Jin¡¯s heartbeat turned erratic, and his cheeks burned hot. What he¡¯d once fantasized actually happened, but it made him feel guilty, after all, he clearly knows that current Lu Tao isn¡¯t the ¡°real¡± Lu Tao.


    But he couldn¡¯t refuse.


    He walked back to the bed, leaned down and stared at the handsome man up close. He trembled when his eyes fell on Lu Tao¡¯s beautiful lips, then printed his lips on them.


    He originally intended only for their lips to touch, but he couldn¡¯t endure when he noticed his husband¡¯s smell, so his lips lingered for a few more seconds. Suddenly, Lu Tao grasped the back of his neck, and then for the first time, his warm, slippery tongue licked Cheng Jin¡¯s lips of its own accord, easily knocked his teeth open and slid into his mouth.


    Cheng Jin¡¯s eyes widened in surprise, the magnified face made him hot and dry. As the tip of his tongue was licked by the other, he felt an electric current spreading up, which numbed him all over. He felt his husband¡¯s tongue exploring all the crevices of his mouth; his first movements were as if to test something out, which then gradually turned bold and fervent. Lu Tao¡¯s tongue would curl around his own and suck, so much that he even lapped up the squelchy sound.


    Cheng Jin momentarily forgot how to breathe, and was about to suffocate himself when Lu Tao released him, his eyes were gleaming with laughter. ¡°Tastes good.¡±


    Cheng Jin quickly stood up and staggered back a step, his eyes as he stared at him full of disbelief. Then he reached out to wipe his lips.


    Lu Tao cocked up an eyebrow. ¡°Don¡¯t like it?¡±


    Cheng Jin shook his head frantically. His face carried an ashamed flush that almost dripped blood. He stammered, ¡°I-I¡¯ll head back first.¡± Then he ran out of the ward.


    It isn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t like it, he just wasn¡¯t used to it.


    Cheng Jin leaned against the wall of the hospital with the back of his hand pressing his eyes, his breath rasping in his heaving chest.


    It had never occurred to him that the man who he¡¯d once stolen a kiss from in exchange for the other man ignoring him for a year would one day take the initiative to kiss him, with tongue.


    Recalling the taste of the kiss just now, Cheng Jin¡¯s heartbeat kept accelerating. Even though he knew that such Lu Tao was only ¡°temporary¡±, he still couldn¡¯t curb his enthusiasm.


    Just like in the past.


    With weak legs, he limped out of the hospital gate. Fortunately, the last bus hasn¡¯t left yet.


    In this current era of high-end sports cars and small spaceships, the idea of ??a ¡°public bus¡± was hardly appealing. After all, this planet was where the rich lived, and it¡¯d be considered a joke not to have cars or small spaceships to get around, so public buses were rarely used.


    It hasn¡¯t been cancelled because public transport is the infrastructure of a city, so despite its negative profitability, it has continued to run along the established routes as usual, although it wasn¡¯t very frequent. Take the last public bus which leaves at five o¡¯clock in the afternoon as an example, after which you wouldn¡¯t be able to ride another bus.


    After Cheng Jin got on the bus, he was the only passenger in such a huge driverless vehicle. Because the car was self-driving, the fare was very cheap, and it only required five points of balance to take a round trip in the entire city. For Cheng Jin¡¯s destination, only 0.5 points of balance was enough.


    When he arrived at his destination, Cheng Jin got off the bus not near his home, but a bustling commercial street, one famous for selling luxury goods. Wealthy people all over the world loved coming here to shop because the prices of clothes and accessories were unaffordable for the general public.


    Although the law of living on the Imperial Planet was based on assets, some people were brought in because of their craftsmanship or their contributing capabilities, and some people had titles. These people were considered ordinary people.


    The family that could be labelled ¡°rich¡± must have a lot of money in their hands and live a life of luxury. Almost all the audience of luxury goods were in this group.


    Cheng Jin did not glance at the dazzling array of goods. He used to be a regular customer here, and his favorite store was called ¡°Style¡±. He¡¯d once emptied half a floor of luxury goods in one breath and was  given the title ¡°dandy¡±.


    And now, every item displayed here, even if he spent all the balance of his account, he couldn¡¯t afford them.


    But the place Cheng Jin still went to was ¡°Style¡±. He didn¡¯t enter through the entrance, but through a hidden small door.


    He passed through the small door, and once he opened a curtain, Cheng Jin saw the person he had made an appointment with. He immediately showed a flattering smile. ¡°Andy, is there a job for me today?¡±

 CH 6

    The advanced technology of the Imperial planet not only reflected in the military, but also in the livelihood. All kinds of electrical equipment and intelligent robots could take care of a human¡¯s daily life in an orderly manner, so that people could rest easily without expending any labor.


    But, since when did hiring a ¡®maid¡® became a popular thing in wealthy areas?


    Just as the simple and convenient nutritional soup could meet the daily survival needs of humans, the rich, however, were more in pursuit of a variety of real food. If others found the rich only had nutritional soup on the table, they would be viewed as a joke.


    But somewhere along the way, the rich had felt that using cold robots to deal with housework were no different from ordinary people, and couldn¡¯t flaunt their nobility, so they began to pay high salaries to hire people to do houseworks for them.


    On the Imperial planet, it¡¯s extremely expensive to hire a human laborer, so the more household maids you have, the more proof you have of your wealth.


    Cheng Jin, for example, used to have five maids.


    Once this ¡®trend¡¯ started, more places began to follow it, and all along this fad had been in the front end.


    So up to now, the exquisite and beautiful luxuries made by machines in shops were no longer the first choice of the rich.


    What they required was something ¡®handmade¡¯, which seemed to mean that the product should be entirely created through human labor. Only then would it be considered valuable. When young masters and young ladies get together, they¡¯d compare their hand-made bags, hand-sewn overcoats, hand-cut skirts, etc¡­


    This was a complete waste of physical labor, and the government didn¡¯t allow the construction of such unadulterated handmade factories, so this job couldn¡¯t be regarded as a legitimate occupation. Yet, many brand stores would recruit ¡®illegal workers¡®.


    Because although most people didn¡¯t lack money, it didn¡¯t mean that it applied to everyone. There were still a selection of people who kept an image of decent life on the surface, yet would try to earn some money in private. If they had no other talents, to opt for such ¡®dirty work¡¯ would be the most suitable choice.


    Cheng Jin had no contact with illegal workers at the beginning. After his father and brother faced bankruptcy, the funds for him were cut off.


    The young master was kept in the dark at first. He was already trying to get rid of his lavish spending and dismissed all the hired servants, nevertheless, the money was still like running water. Cheng Jin didn¡¯t realize something was wrong until the balance was below the average line and no new money arrived.

    Although the accident caused no casualties, it nearly left the planet facing a big explosion, killed most of the ground crops, and leaked hazardous substances. When it was exposed, the government¡¯s top brass were furious and fined the Cheng family a huge sum, which simply hollowed out the family¡¯s wealth, yet it wasn¡¯t enough.


    In fact, if the Cheng family didn¡¯t have the title of philanthropist, after the accident, Cheng Jin¡¯s father and brother would be sent to Hell planet to serve their sentences.


    His father was full of frustration. ¡°I have inside info that the new energy extracting license can be passed in half a year. I wanted to be ahead of others. If it turns out successful, our family¡¯s assets can double. Who knew¡­¡± he sighed.


    His eyes were cloudy. In a short time, he seemed to have aged ten years. ¡°Jin¡¯er, dad is useless. He can¡¯t protect you anymore.¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s heart sank at the news, then he asked, ¡°What am I going to do in the future?¡±


    Cheng Xu said, ¡°Our family will cut down expenses. All the houses and cars were sold, and only a small building is left. I also found a job. Although it¡¯s not enough, I can make ends meet.¡± He patted his younger brother on the shoulder and spoke with a gentle tone, ¡°Don¡¯t worry and just live your life well. You have a title. Whatever happens, you won¡¯t be deported.¡±


    Cheng Jin understood what he meant.


    Dad and gege could be driven out of this planet to live on a dirty, messy alien planet!


    Since her mother¡¯s death, Cheng Jin only relied on two people: his father and brother. Knowing that they might be deported, his mind was in disarray.


    At the time he went back to his home and saw the luxurious house and the items he had bought, the price of each item turned heavier. He regretted beyond measure how he could¡¯ve spent his money so carelessly and then took home a bunch of useless stuff?


    He¡¯s simply sucking his father and brother¡¯s blood!


    After he¡¯d thought about this, Cheng Jin began to sell his things. Although the house was his and Lu Tao¡¯s, Lu Tao has never been involved in any affairs here.


    This ¡®home¡¯ was much worse for him than a hotel, and he probably wouldn¡¯t have returned if the government had not stipulated that people with families must be reunited with their partners once when they return from other planets.


    Cheng Jin struggled to pack up his own things. It wasn¡¯t as easy to sell as it seemed, so he entrusted someone to sell them on the black market. He¡¯s clueless. He didn¡¯t even know when he¡¯s being ripped off. Some items were obviously worth a lot of money, but he sold them at less than 10% of the price.


    He then transferred the money he earned into his father and brother¡¯s accounts, hoping to get them to stay, but it wasn¡¯t enough.


    In the end, Cheng had to sell his sports car and his high-quality flying ship to maintain the balance of his father and brother at a critical tipping point.


    Cheng Jin had yet to sigh in relief when his father finally fell ill after a series of blows.


    He was a penalized person, so all his government benefits were out of commission, he couldn¡¯t even use health insurance. If he wanted to see a doctor, he¡¯d have to shoulder the full cost.


    That time Cheng Jin was so burned out, plagued by a sequence of misfortunes. He ransacked the house again and sold all the things he had cherished before, scraping together some money, which somehow made up the cost of the operation.


    After the operation, his father¡¯s illness also needed follow-up recuperation, as well as long-term medication. Cheng Jin had no other things to sell, and the money his older brother earned was just enough to support the father and son, so Cheng Jin also thought of doing manual labor.


    He was the general¡¯s wife, and because of his title, many occupations were limited to him.


    He couldn¡¯t do the low level jobs that didn¡¯t require a degree, and he didn¡¯t have the degree required for the jobs he could do. Under such circumstances, Cheng Jin simply did not know what to do, until one day, he met Andy.


    Andy used to be a shopping guide for ¡®Style¡¯ and received Cheng Jin many times, so he knew him.


    Spotting him that time, Andy took the initiative to say hello to him and asked him when he¡¯d visit ¡®Style¡¯. Cheng Jin was full of thoughts about looking for a job and was not in the mood to deal with him, so he was just going to leave with a simple ¡°En¡±. Before he went far, he heard someone ask Andy, ¡°Excuse me, are you guys still hiring?¡±


    The young master didn¡¯t work, but he also understood what ¡®hiring¡¯ meant. His eyes lit up, he walked defiantly towards Andy, looking wistfully to the shopping guide he didn¡¯t pay attention to before. ¡°What kind of job? I also want to do it.¡±


    Andy was caught off guard.


    At first, he thought the young master wanted to flirt with him. When he found out that the Cheng family had gone bankrupt and the young master really needed money, his attitude changed 180 degrees.


    He probably wanted to see what joke Cheng Jin would make and actually offered him a job as an illegal worker in the ¡®Style¡¯s¡¯ basement where Cheng Jin used to shop.


    When Cheng Jin first went there, several people were already inside. In the not-so-spacious basement, bright white lights were on, and finished and unfinished products littered on the long table. Both men and women were working earnestly hard, with either needles and thread or scissors in their hands.


    Cheng Jin looked at them skillfully stitching. He was a bit timid because he had never done it, but at the thought of his father¡¯s situation, the steps that wanted to retreat stopped again.


    Andy laughed sneeringly, ¡°Young master Cheng can¡¯t do it, can he? Oh my, I told you you can¡¯t do it. But young master Cheng, I heard that your partner is of high status. Why? Why don¡¯t you ask him for help if you have any difficulties?¡±


    Cheng Jin was not without such thoughts. He had wanted to contact Lu Tao several times, but he gave up at the last step.


    Lu Tao hated him. When he hears the bad news of his family, he¡¯d only clap his hands and cheer, right? How could he possibly help?


    And if he knew, he might intend to divorce him.


    Although currently the government temporarily suppressed this matter for stability, it didn¡¯t mean that it would never be exposed. But in Cheng Jin¡¯s selfish heart, he still hoped to maintain his marital relationship with Lu Tao for one more moment.


    Cheng Jin pursed his lips and asked very gently, ¡°I can learn, Andy. Can you teach me?¡±


    Andy looked at him with a measuring gaze.


    In fact, he despised the young master. After all, he really did a lot of outrageous things in the past, such as directly hitting others in order to compete for the same single product. But he wasn¡¯t the kind of person who would kick someone when they¡¯re already down, so he said, ¡°Ok, I¡¯ll teach you. If you can¡¯t learn, young master Cheng will have to look for another job.¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s face lit up with joy and chirped, ¡°Thank you! I will try my best!¡±


    Andy waved his hand. ¡°Don¡¯t use ''you'' ''you'' ah. I¡¯m not used to hearing it.¡±


    It was really difficult at the beginning for the young master who had never touched a needle and thread to do handwork. Moreover, he wasn¡¯t a meticulous person. Not long after learning, the tip of the needle pierced a tiny bloody hole in his finger. Cheng Jin gave out a cry, ¡°Ow!¡±


    When Andy frowned at him, he hurriedly said, ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± He put his fingers into his mouth and sucked it.


    When he sucked the blood, it tasted a bit salty, which was similar to the taste of tears.


    Andy warned, ¡®We¡¯re using trial products now. When you¡¯re using real clothing accessories, you mustn¡¯t get any blood on them or they¡¯ll be completely ruined.¡±


    Cheng Jin quickly responded, ¡°I got it.¡±


    It took five days straight of practice in the basement. Five of his ten fingers were punctured; there were more than three dozen tiny dots, and he also shaved off a small piece of skin on his index finger with a knife. When he finally produced something that Andy could nod his head at, he was assigned an order.


    The first order Cheng Jin took was to embroider beads on a small skirt. The floral pattern had been drawn on it, and he only needed to sew beads on it one by one. The task that could be done by a machine in less than five minutes, Cheng Jin took three days to complete.


    But he was very happy, because he got the first money in his life that he had earned with his own hands, and with this money, he could buy enough medicine for his father for a week.

 CH 7

    Translator: Abo Dammen


    After two years of work, Cheng Jin had already become very familiar with Andy. The other was a young man in his twenties who not only had a very clever appearance, but also had a very witty nature, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t be promoted from the position of a shopping guide to a store manager in a short time. He casually waved his hand when he saw Cheng Jin. ¡°Just in time. There just happens to be an order for you.¡±


    Cheng Jin immediately rejoiced. Prices represented by ¡®orders¡¯ were far more expensive than that of common products, and you could take it home to make.


    In the past two years, he¡¯d worked hard to learn needlework, 24 weaving methods, and had even learned to make leather bags all to earn money. Once on a sudden inspiration, he added a little ornament to a dress, which was extravagantly praised by the person who had placed the order. To his surprise, Andy found that the young master actually had a talent in design.


    Andy was very business minded. He immediately packaged Cheng Jin as a master under the pseudonym Ruilla, and gave him private orders. But as soon as a client wanted to see him, he¡¯d immediately euphemistically say that Madam Ruilla was a noblewoman, or a titled noblewoman, so it wasn¡¯t convenient.


    Most of the wealthy people only had wealth and were without titles in their names, so they were somewhat envious of those who had one. Now that they learned that the one who made their clothes was actually a ¡®noble¡¯, their hearts were filled with pride and arrogance. So through the young miss¡¯s propaganda, people who came to ¡®Ruilla¡¯ specifically to order grew exponentially.


    It¡¯s just that Andy valued quality over quantity. He¡¯d purposely set the number of orders taken to be very low, and would usually only receive one order a month. His approach not only did not make those young ladies and masters give up, but had also made them insane. Now, at every banquet, if anyone owns a piece personally made by ¡®Madam Ruilla¡¯, they would certainly be the target of envy.


    Cheng Jin wasn¡¯t aware of it. He only knew that when he had no money, he¡¯d come here to do ¡®illegal work¡¯ and collect his own working fees after making finished products. Those rich people he knew in the past distanced themselves from him after knowing that his family was bankrupt, and no one invited him to those banquets anymore, so he didn¡¯t know that he had become ¡®famous¡¯.


    The order Andy took out was for a dress, another special custom-made dress. The client only requested what materials should be used and its general style, and had also brought a box of blue crystal beads.


    ¡°The client requested that the crystal beads be made into an ornament. The style should be your own design, and it must be eye-catching,¡± said Andy.


    He added sternly, ¡°These expensive blue crystal beads are very precious minerals. I¡¯ll give it to you, but you must not miss a single one. Count them first.¡±


    Cheng Jin piously took over the box. After the box was opened, the crystal inside emitted a blue light. The blue was extraordinarily pure, comparable to the sky. Andy saw him look dumbfounded and deliberately said, ¡°What? The young master has never seen such a fine item before? You should know that the value of this bead is worth 50,000, because these crystals are so rare. They¡¯ve only been found on a distant planet before, and the total number is no more than a thousand. You have to collect it carefully. If you lose one, you¡¯ll be in big trouble. I can¡¯t help you then.¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s spirit returned. He then counted meticulously. Only after he had counted them did he say, ¡°It¡¯s 148.¡±


    Andy said, ¡°Make sure. When the time comes, the client will check it, so it must not be less, okay? The project will take half a month, but I hope you can give it to me in ten days.¡±


    Cheng Jin firmly held the box in his arms and nodded, ¡°Okay.¡±

    Cheng Jin smiled lightly. He used to be very rude, probably because he was used to others¡¯ efforts since childhood, so he never knew those were things that needed to be thankful for, and took everything for granted.


    It wasn¡¯t until lu Tao detested him that he realized how flawed his character was.


    To the point that when he recalled it just now, he felt incredibly embarrassed.


    Then he began to change, tried very hard to change, starting from dismissing the maids at home. Before parting with everyone, he solemnly said ¡°thank you¡± which frightened several people, with consternation and some fear over their faces. Cheng Jin also realized his previous bad behavior of ganging up on others and also bullying¡­


    One thing after another, after thinking about it, Cheng Jin understood why Lu Tao didn¡¯t like him.


    But even if he changed now, it wouldn¡¯t make a difference.


    Cheng Jin took a bath, then entered his ¡®studio¡¯. He began to draw, sketched out his ideas, fixed and revised them several times, and when he finally finished the sample sketch of the dress, it was already past twelve o¡¯clock.


    He slept in bed for six hours and got up when his alarm went off. Although he was still tired and sleepy, he didn¡¯t let himself stay in bed anymore.


    He must hold on!


    The live fish he¡¯d ordered before going to bed arrived. Cheng Jin was sipping a small portion of nutritional soup while cooking soup.


    He didn¡¯t know how to cook before©`©` or to be more direct, he had never been in the kitchen at all. Later, on a whim, he wanted to be a good wife and practice good cooking skills to improve Lu Tao¡¯s impression of him, but he still couldn¡¯t do it well . In the end, he shamelessly regarded the dishes cooked by the chef as his own and brought them to Lu Tao, and was coldly exposed. After being ¡®humiliated¡¯, he settled down and finally learned how to cook.


    He boiled the fish soup to a thick white hue, sprinkled a handful of bright red wolfberries, then poured both the soup and the fish into an insulated container, and then he tidied up his appearance. Cheng Jin took the insulated container to the military hospital.


    The hospital had included his identity who had a ¡®visitation permit,¡¯ so Cheng Jin could go in directly without anyone having to pick him up. General Lu Tao¡¯s identity was important, so the floor arranged was the quietest place and the place with the tightest security. When Cheng Jin entered, he needed to go through five infrared scans.


    But as he neared the door, he realized that he wasn¡¯t the first person to arrive, because he heard voices inside.


    Unable to hear what was being talked about and unable to tell who the person was, Cheng Jin hesitated for a moment before gently knocking the door with his knuckle. After a while, the door was opened by someone who had outstanding facial features, stunning Cheng Jin.


    So beautiful!!


    Snowy-white skin, deep features, with long and thick eyelashes that resembled a small brush, and lips with the shade of rose petals. He had long blonde hair, which was tied at the back, making his whole person appear somewhat androgynous.


    But because he was tall, Cheng Jin could see his Adam¡¯s apple and flat chest at a glance, so he was sure he was a man.


    But he should be a ¡®new female¡¯ like him, right?


    ¡®New females¡¯ appeared nearly two hundred years ago, when the birthrate of that society was even lower than today. When the first man was able to conceive life, it caused an uproar all over the world. The man was sent to the Research Institute for examination, and the results were that his body was not much different from an ordinary male. The only difference was an additional reproductive cavity in his body.


    At that time, there were very few women, and there was a big fight in the higher ups over whether or not to propose laws of artificial birth. As soon as this appeared, it changed the future of mankind.


    Scientists began to worry that this was only a one-time case, but when the  second and third cases of male pregnancy appeared, a genetic examination revealed that the subjects of these cases all had something in common, which led to the creation of a ¡®screening device¡¯. The men identified by the device as ¡®could conceive¡¯ would be marked on the birth certificate, and this portion of the men would become ¡®new females¡¯.


    The emergence of ¡®new females¡¯ increased the birth rate, especially on the isolated planets, their birth rates skyrocketed. It was only on the Imperial planet where the majority of young men do it to seek a life of pleasure, but were reluctant to marry and have children, which was why the birth rate wasn¡¯t optimistic.


    Cheng Jin¡¯s dumbfounded look displeased the man sitting on the hospital bed. He coughed with the back of his hand against his lips to wake Cheng Jin up. Cheng Jin suddenly felt shy and whispered, ¡°Sorry, I was being rude.¡±


    The blonde man smiled gently and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡±


    He also introduced himself, ¡°I am Asher, general Lu Tao¡¯s subordinate, and his best partner. He saved my life so he¡¯s also my benefactor. If it weren¡¯t for him, I wouldn¡¯t be able to return this time. It¡¯s just unfortunate he doesn¡¯t remember me now.¡±


    Cheng Jin froze, ¡°He tried to¡­ save you?¡± And the name ¡®Asher¡¯ was so familiar. Cheng Jin quickly remembered why it felt familiar©` because in Lu Tao¡¯s light screen yesterday, he saw that the second name in his contacts was Asher.


    At that time, he thought it was a woman.


    ¡°Yes,¡± said Asher, ¡°I was careless enough that I didn¡¯t notice a female insect approaching me, and by the time I did, it was too late. If it weren¡¯t for him, I wouldn¡¯t be standing here right now talking to you.¡± He remembered something quickly. ¡°By the way, you are¡­¡±


    Cheng Jin glanced at Lu Tao who was staring at him. His heart felt a little empty, just because his mind suddenly thought of something.


    Black and Gold Twin Gods.


    This was reported by an official newspaper. The ¡®Black and Gold Twin Gods¡¯ refer to two people: one was Lu Tao, and the other was his subordinate, Lieutenant General Rigel. They say that they worked so well together that they were invincible on the battlefield. They were a pair of good partners with very tacit understanding.


    Official newspapers used beautiful words to praise both men¡¯s abilities and style, and they also pasted pictures of General Lu Tao in his formal suit, which was so handsome that it attracted young men and women who had just begun to think of love to buy them.


    Cheng Jin also bought a copy of it, and roughly scanned all the contents above. With regards to the person mentioned with Lu Tao, the surname ¡®Rigel¡¯ alone made him lose interest. There¡¯s no other reason. This surname had a great reputation on the Imperial planet. It¡¯s an ancient native family.


    Cheng Jin had seen some of the members in their family, almost all of whom were big men with thick beards covering their faces. Even the women were very strong and were born warriors.


    So even though the above description of their relationship was close, Cheng Jin didn¡¯t take it to heart; he didn¡¯t think that a boorish man would become his rival in love.


    But now, he may have thought wrong.


    Cheng Jin pursed his lips and asked, ¡°Is your full name Asher Rigel?¡±


    The pretty man raised his eyebrows and looked even better when he smiled, ¡°That¡¯s right, Rigel is my last name.¡±


    ¡°Oh, is that so¡­¡± Cheng Jin suppressed the bitterness at the bottom of his heart and tried to flash a smile. ¡°My name is Cheng Jin, I¡¯m Lu Tao¡¯s wife.¡±


    Although there¡¯s a good chance I would no longer be in the near future.

 CH 8

    Asher didn¡¯t show any surprise. Instead, he chuckled and said, ¡°I just figured.¡± He turned his head to Lu Tao, who was sitting on the bed. ¡°My old buddy seems to be getting impatient because we¡¯ve been talking for a long time.¡±


    Cheng Jin looked at Lu Tao¡¯s face and saw that his husband indeed looked a bit impatient. Ever since he lost his memory, he would show different kinds of expressions, and he seemed much more lively.


    But Cheng Jin wasn¡¯t used to it.


    As he walked to the bedside, Cheng Jin subconsciously apologized under Lu Tao¡¯s dissatisfied eyes, ¡°Sorry, have you waited a long time?¡± But he felt it inappropriate to ask this, after all, Lu Tao had never waited for him before.


    He¡¯d always wanted to pursue him, but he didn¡¯t know how to properly do it. Instead, he had pushed Lu Tao farther and farther.


    To his surprise, General Lu Tao said in an aggrieved tone, ¡°I¡¯ve been waiting for a long time.¡± He reached out his hand, grasped Cheng Jin¡¯s clothes and tugged it. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you¡¯d come to see me early in the morning? And instead it wasn¡¯t you who came in first, and there¡¯s also the soup you promised?¡±


    His reaction left him speechless. Cheng Jin stared at him with widened eyes. Asher let out an amused smile and thought this image was very funny.


    Cheng Jin shook again, and even his face was beet red. Both his hands and feet fumbled as he hurriedly took out what he¡¯d brought. ¡°I brought the soup, now you can eat.¡± He uncovered the lid.


    Because he could feel Lu Tao¡¯s burning gaze, he was even more nervous than when he tried to fool Lu Tao with someone else¡¯s achievements as his own labor.


    After the lid was lifted, the aroma of fish soup overflowed, and its thick, white color seemed appetizing. Cheng Jin handed over a spoon. ¡°Try it, although I¡¯m not sure it tastes good. It¡¯s still a bit hot. You have to blow it before drinking.¡± Asher had suddenly popped up in his mind, who was still standing next to him. He asked, ¡°D-Do you want one, Mr. Rigel?¡±


    Asher originally didn¡¯t want to try it, but when he saw the protective look his old partner and boss had with the food, he said maliciously, ¡°Can I really? Then I would be really honored! Thank you, Mr. Cheng.¡±


    Cheng Jin was surprised. ¡°No, don¡¯t mention it,¡± he said. Actually, he was just being polite, because Asher looked like he wouldn¡¯t eat just anything. He didn¡¯t expect he¡¯d actually have a taste. But the words had already been said, so he couldn¡¯t take them back. He could only be glad he had cooked enough soup.


    But he was willing; General Lu Tao, not so much. As he stared at Cheng Jin¡¯s action of giving Asher soup, his eyes were full of accusation, and with a little bit of distress.


    Every scoop Cheng Jin took, his eyes followed back and forth. Cheng Jin originally wanted to scoop some more, but his stare kinda gave him the feeling that he was robbing children¡¯s food. He felt like he couldn¡¯t move his hands, so in the end he only gave Asher half a bowl.


    The blond man had a gentle smile, but his eyes were full of interest. Cheng Jin felt a little embarrassed, so whispered, ¡°You, you taste it¡­¡±

    Lu Tao nodded and drank a second mouthful of the soup. ¡°It¡¯s really delicious!¡±


    Asher also said with a smile, ¡°Yes, it is delicious. Mr. Cheng is a great cook!¡±


    After tasting the soup, he laughed at Lu Tao¡¯s guarded gaze directed at him and said, ¡°Well, I¡¯d better get going. After all, the lord general doesn¡¯t seem inclined for me to stay here either.¡±


    Cheng Jin hurriedly mumbled, ¡°H-how can©`¡±


    ¡°I can feel it.¡± Asher smiled widely. ¡°Although the general doesn¡¯t remember me now, I think he¡¯s cuter now than he was before.¡±


    Cheng Jin was dumbstricken, and an alarm rang in his heart. ¡°C-Cute?¡±


    ¡°Yeah ah, cute.¡± Asher waved to Lu Tao, ¡°I¡¯ll go first, old man. I¡¯ll come again next time.¡±


    Lu Tao looked at him expressionlessly. Asher also didn¡¯t care, and took a few steps out, but then he suddenly thought of something so he paused. ¡°By the way, Mr. Cheng, if the lord general is discharged from hospital, I¡¯ll pay a visit to your home. Is that possible?¡±


    Cheng Jin nodded hurriedly, ¡°Of course!¡±


    As soon as a certain someone left, Lu Tao seemed to feel that the crisis was over, and his action of eating the soup slowed down, both refined and in line with etiquette. The Lu family was also a part of the ¡°native¡± families, but they weren¡¯t as old as the Rigels, nor do they have permanent residency.


    Their family¡¯s previous title disappeared after his grandfather¡¯s death, and the remaining grandmother and her grandchild became ordinary citizens who could be deported if they did not have enough money. It wasn¡¯t until later when Lu Tao became an officer that their balance wasn¡¯t restricted.


    So Lu Tao had learned good etiquette since he was a child. Even when he drank the soup on the sickbed, he¡¯d also revealed a temperament that would make people steal a glance. But when he finished his soup, he turned back to his lively amnesiac self. ¡°Why did you agree to let him come home?¡± He suddenly screwed up his eyebrows, and he looked cautious. ¡°Are you trying to jump off the rail?¡±


    When Cheng Jin, who was cleaning up the container, heard this sentence,  he knocked over the spoon. He scrambled to pick it up, and his face turned red. ¡°I¡¯m not!¡±


    ¡°Lieutenant General Rigel said he was coming home to see you. It has nothing to do with me,¡± he added.


    ¡°But I didn¡¯t agree to it ah.¡±


    ¡°But isn¡¯t it bad behavior to refuse since the other took the initiative to mention it?¡± Cheng Jin finally put things in order, but his face was still a scarlet shade. ¡°And how do you know the word ¡®jump off the rail¡¯?¡± If one of them would jump off the rail, that person would be General Lu Tao, okay? He silently murmured in his mind.


    After all, he was so in love with his husband that it had never crossed his mind to be affiliated with another man, even during his long ¡®solitary boudoir¡®.


    Lu Tao lit up his light screen, and in the huge screen, he could see the questions he had searched for. Cheng Jin scanned from top to bottom. The more he looked, the more he felt it was unimaginable, because all Lu Tao searched for were marriage and love problems.


    ¡ª¡ª Marriage law of the Imperial planet.


    ¡ª¡ªWhat¡¯s the reason for not having children even after seven years of marriage?


    ¡ª¡ªWhat is an extramarital affair?


    ¡ª¡ªWhat are the characteristics of cheating?


    ¡ª¡ªWhat behaviors make your partner more satisfied?


    The next were presumably auto-suggested entries, that increasingly turned yellow, such as ¡®the best way to have sex¡¯, ¡®where are the sensitive spots of new females¡¯, and ¡®what is a new female¡¯. Cheng Jin increasingly grew bright red, and in the end he was so ashamed he couldn¡¯t lift his face. He whispered, ¡°Why are you reading these¡­.¡±


    ¡°The doctor said I¡¯m currently ill and there¡¯s only so little knowledge in my brain, so I need to learn.¡± He spoke very righteously. To illustrate, he picked up an object nearby and asked Cheng Jin, ¡°What is this called?¡±


    Cheng Jin was stunned. ¡°Wu fruit.¡± It was a kind of berry, and said to be anhydrous. In fact, it was full of juice and very sweet. It was a kind of fruit that most people liked to eat.


    Lu Tao said, ¡°You see, you know what this is called, but I don¡¯t.¡± He clicked his own light screen.


    ¡°I only found out after searching. Although my condition would only last six to eight months, I can¡¯t live with an empty head. I have to study. And my secretary©` I was told he¡¯s my secretary, Fei Li said that I don¡¯t have to go to the battlefield now. I¡¯ve also been given eight months of paid leave. I¡¯ll be spending the rest of my life with you, so I¡¯ll have to relearn how to live with you all over again.¡±


    And then he added, ¡°Fei Li also explained the meaning of paid leave to me. I couldn¡¯t understand it, though I could say it.¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s eyes widened, and Lu Tao concluded, ¡°So, you still think I shouldn¡¯t read these?¡±


    Cheng Jin was completely convinced. The man raised his eyebrows again. ¡°Or perhaps, you can teach me something?¡±


    His tone was low and ambiguous. Because his voice sounded too magnetic, when it passed Cheng Jin¡¯s ears, it had a tantalizing effect, which soon made him blush again.


    So Cheng Jin spent almost all day doing a Q&A with Lu Tao. After another breathtaking parting kiss, Cheng Jin got on the bus home and spent the evening working on the expensive dress.


    General Lu Tao was in good physical condition. After another week in the hospital, he had no physical problems other than his amnesia, so he was told he could be discharged.


    On the day he was discharged from the hospital, his grandmother also came with a strong desire to take him back to their ancestral house, but Lu Tao refused, so she had no choice but to watch her grandson walk away with Cheng Jin.


    Cheng Jin sold all his valuable assets, so he had no means of transportation. Fortunately, Fei Li also came, and he drove over. After stuffing all the luggage in the back compartment, Cheng Jin thanked him apologetically, ¡°Thank you. If you hadn¡¯t come here, we would have a little trouble going back.¡±


    Fei Li threw a glance at the tall man who had sat in the back seat and said in a calm voice, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s originally my job.¡±


    Cheng Jin was a bit curious. ¡°Do you still need to go to work even when he¡¯s on vacation?¡±


    As if he had heard something funny, Fei Li couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°Of course, Mr. Cheng.¡± He paused, then said, ¡°In fact, the lord general asked me to order a car more than three months ago.¡±


    Cheng Jin looked at him with an unknown gaze.


    ¡°It¡¯s a private car,¡± said Fei Li.


    There were three types of plates on the Imperial planet: One for public transport, one for military use, and one for private use. Lu Tao had a title and the rank of a general. He had both a car and a small spaceship, but all his vehicles had military license plates. Strictly speaking, only he could use them, not others. Accordingly, he couldn¡¯t own private vehicles.


    Cheng Jin froze when he heard his explanation.


    Fei Li also seemed to find it difficult to speak. After a moment¡¯s hesitation, he said, ¡°The car arrived ten days ago, and because the lord general didn¡¯t say who he was giving it to, I don¡¯t know what to do with it. Since Mr. Cheng is in a bit of trouble, I wonder if I can put the car in your and the lord general¡¯s home first?¡±


    The secretary absolutely had good intentions, but Cheng Jin only felt sick.


    Given Lu Tao¡¯s previous hatred for him, he certainly wouldn¡¯t be a narcissist and think Lu Tao ordered the car for him.


    But to whom was it for?


    ¡°Okay, thank you.¡± Cheng Jin was too shaken out of his wits. He pursed his lips and in the end couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°You really don¡¯t know who it¡¯s for, Mr. Fei Li? Is there¡­.anyone¡­in your mind?¡± Lu Tao didn¡¯t love him, but that didn¡¯t mean he didn¡¯t have anyone he loved. Cheng Jin had imagined it a lot of times, but when he really had to face it, he was still hurt.


    Fei Li¡¯s eyes gradually grew calm, and his voice steady. ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± he said. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Cheng.¡±

 CH 9

    They only chatted for a while, but after he got back in the car, the lord general inside was bit dissatisfied and showed an unhappy expression as if his wife had just cheated on him behind his back. He had a handsome appearance, but now he looked a little cute with his lips tilted slightly. Cheng Jin couldn¡¯t help taking a few glimpses. The lord general asked fiercely, ¡°What are you looking at?¡±


    Cheng Jin hurriedly sat upright. ¡°I¡¯m not looking.¡±


    Lu Tao glared at him angrily again.


    The car was on autopilot, so Fei Li had time to observe the two men¡¯s reactions. Seeing it now, he couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°The lord general¡¯s personality has changed a lot.¡±


    ¡°What was I like before?¡± Lu Tao asked. He had a touch of the past him when he faced Fei Li. He obviously didn¡¯t do it deliberately, but his tone had a wave of intimidation. Fei Li froze, then said, ¡°It seems¡­ there wasn¡¯t much of a change.¡± He thought of something and added, ¡°Perhaps it has changed in front of Mr. Cheng.¡±


    Lu Tao still asked him anyway, ¡°What was I like before?¡± He had also asked this question to his partner before, but Cheng Jin very stiffly turned the topic, so he didn¡¯t pursue it further. But when he met Fei Li, he couldn¡¯t help but want to be clarified.


    Fei Li was a bit embarrassed. ¡°Subordinates should not judge their boss¡¯s character.¡±


    Lu Tao didn¡¯t buy it. ¡°You just commented that I¡¯ve changed a lot.¡±


    Even with amnesia, there¡¯s nothing wrong with the lord general¡¯s logical thinking. Fei Li couldn¡¯t refute, and could only say, ¡°A little more indifferent than now. The people have given you the nickname, ¡®God-slayer.¡¯¡±


    Lu Tao raised his eyebrows. ¡°Isn¡¯t it ¡®BGTG?¡® The nickname with Asher Rigel?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s a courtesy title, lord general, and an honor.¡± Fei Li added solemnly, ¡°If you¡¯re interested in your achievements, you can come to the office. There are a lot of medals there that have been awarded to you, and possibly some of your personal belongings.¡±


    ¡°Personal belongings?¡± Lu Tao was puzzled and turned to look at Cheng Jin. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t my personal belongings be together in our home? It must not be important so I put them in the office?¡±


    Cheng Jin also didn¡¯t know how to explain, thinking that perhaps what was in the office was the most important to Lu Tao.

    Fei Li took down his few luggage and said, ¡°Lord general, Mr. Cheng, I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡±


    Cheng Jin prompted, ¡°Won¡¯t you sit for a while and have a cup of tea?¡±


    Fei Li pushed his glasses. ¡°No need, thank you very much,¡± he said. ¡°I have business in the military headquarters to attend to.¡±


    Cheng Jin sent Fei Li out of the gate. After closing the gate, he turned around and found that Lu Tao had entered the house. He quickly followed up.


    There were already changed shoes on the porch. Lu Tao was squatting down, seriously studying the intelligent little robot.


    When the little robot saw the owner he had not seen for a long time, he twirled around happily. The indicator lamp in his head kept flashing as he cheerfully said, ¡°Oh, my dearest master, you¡¯re finally back! Cheng Cheng missed you very much. Cheng Cheng secretly cried twice when he heard you were in an accident¡­. crying inside. Who¡¯s crying? I¡¯m a robot ne. Robots can¡¯t shed tears¡­.. It¡¯s great to have you back safe and sound.¡±


    The lord general wasn¡¯t frightened by the enthusiastic little robot. His face was full of curiosity as he asked Cheng Jin, ¡°Its name is Cheng Cheng?¡±


    Before Cheng Jin answered, the little robot responded, ¡°Yes, this is the name that the previous master gave me. Ah, my little master, welcome back, too.¡±


    Cheng Jin smiled and stroked its head. ¡°Thank you.¡±


    ¡°Oh, my little master is getting more and more polite.¡± The little robot saw the luggage placed next to it and hurriedly took it to tidy up. Lu Tao looked at its retreating figure and said, ¡°The previous master? Is it second-hand?¡±


    ¡°No¡­ It used to be my family¡¯s robot, and was owned by my gege before he came with me.¡± Cheng Jin explained. When he got married, Cheng Xu gave him the little robot, but Cheng Jin didn¡¯t use it for some time, and instead hired a maid. Lu Tao later criticized his extravagance and he dismissed all the helpers, only then did he let the little robot out of the warehouse again.


    Lu Tao seemed to find it amusing. ¡°Has it always been this¡­talkative?¡±


    Cheng Jin chuckled softly. ¡°No, it likes handsome men. It will be more talkative when it sees one.¡±


    When he finished, Lu Tao stood in front of him, then bent over and stared at him. He was so close that the tip of his nose almost touched against his own. Cheng Jin wasn¡¯t used to this proximity, and just felt that his heart was accelerating uncontrollably. He wanted to avoid it, but was reluctant to do so, so he held back. Lu Tao asked, ¡°Are you praising my face for being handsome?¡±


    Cheng Jin eventually couldn¡¯t bear how close his face was, so he stepped back, turned away his own rosy tinted face, and whispered, ¡°It¡¯s¡­very handsome¡­.¡±


    Lu Tao was about to hug his waist when the robot slid over happily and shouted, ¡°Master, master, Cheng Cheng has tidied up the bedroom. Please check it yo. If you are not satisfied with it, I will fix it well!¡±


    The beautiful atmosphere just shattered with this interruption. Plus, Lu Tao was also curious about what their bedroom was like, so he followed the little robot to the direction of the bedroom.


    The little robot glided along the way as he chattered. ¡°The little master said you¡¯ve forgotten things about the past, so allow me to introduce you. Here is the kitchen, this is Cheng Cheng¡¯s rest room. I love sleeping here at night. Oh, my sleep is charging my batteries. And here is the guest room. A maid used to live there. Oh, I feel so angry just talking about it! The little master also abandoned Cheng Cheng for a while, wuwu¡­¡±


    Lu Tao was amused, but Cheng Jin wanted to cover its mouth.


    The little robot cried for a while and soon returned to normal. ¡°This room is the little master¡¯s bedroom oh. It¡¯s the largest room on the first floor. When Cheng Cheng cleans it every day, it takes 20 minutes to finish ah. Other rooms only take five minutes la!¡±


    With a smile on his face, Lu Tao originally wanted to go to the room pointed to by the little robot, but when he saw the little robot going up the stairs, he immediately felt something was wrong. The smile on his face faded and his tone was rather icy like in the past. ¡°I don¡¯t stay here?¡±


    ¡°No, no, no oh.¡± The little robot quickly waved his mechanical hands and pointed upstairs. ¡°Your room is upstairs oh.¡±


    ¡°Why?¡± Who Lu Tao asked this time was not the little robot, but Cheng Jin.


    He had an examining look. Cheng Jin didn¡¯t know how to explain. While he was hesitating, Lu Tao asked, ¡°Why don¡¯t you want to sleep with me?¡±


    With his accusatory words, Cheng Jin felt helpless. Moreover, his interrogation was very far away from the truth. The reason why they were divided into two bedrooms wasn¡¯t that Cheng Jin wasn¡¯t willing, but it was Lu Tao who was unwilling.


    During the marriage approval, the wedding room belonging to the two was allocated down. Cheng Jin only spent a short time decorating their place, but he very earnestly decorated their joint bedroom.


    He spent a lot of time thinking, ranging from the color scheme of the wardrobe to the furnishings of scenic items. All of it was personally inspected by him, however, when Lu Tao came, he directly refused. ¡°Sleep in separate rooms.¡±


    Cheng Jin was very sad and lost his temper, but Lu Tao didn¡¯t compromise. In the end, it was Cheng Jin who had to compromise. Lu Tao chose a guest room, with nothing but a bed and wardrobe. He didn¡¯t have any furnishings, and he also refused Cheng Jin to buy them for him. On the wedding night, Cheng Jin felt wronged as he slept on his small and soft bed alone, only to wake up and see no one beside him.


    The past flashed through his mind bit by bit. Cheng Jin pinched his fingers and said cautiously, ¡°My sleeping posture isn¡¯t good. I¡¯m afraid it will disturb you, so we just sleep separately¡­¡±


    The lord general looked doubtful. ¡°That so?¡±


    Cheng Jin braced himself and said, ¡°Yes, I love kicking the covers when I sleep. I g-grind my teeth and snore, and it¡¯s hard to change your sleeping habits from childhood¡­¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t mind.¡±


    Cheng Jin was startled and stared at the serious man in front of him. ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°I said I don¡¯t mind! I don¡¯t care if you kick the covers, grind your teeth, or snore!¡± Lu Tao grabbed his hand. ¡°I. want. to. sleep. with. you!¡±


    If Cheng Jin had heard this from his mouth in the past, he would probably have fainted blissfully, but now he just felt terrified.


    The Lu Tao in front of him was only temporary. In a few months, Lu Tao would return to his original state and turn a blind eye to himself and become even more indifferent than strangers.


    If that was the case, Cheng Jin, who was already beyond redemption at the bottom of the pit, would be crushed to pieces.


    He obviously had no expectations for this relationship any longer. Why was this Lu Tao delivered to him? Letting him enjoy the taste of being watched attentively and valued by the other, and at the same time, making it clear that this was only temporary.


    It¡¯s simply cruel.


    Lu Tao didn¡¯t know about his psychological changes. He just approached him and asked, ¡°Not willing?¡±


    The man narrows his eyes dangerously, as if Cheng Jin didn¡¯t agree, he wouldn¡¯t accept compromise. Cheng Jin was stunned. His widened eyes were filled with a void he couldn¡¯t gather. He said, ¡°Not unwilling.¡± His sight slowly became clear, showing the figure of the person who most enchanted him. Cheng Jin whispered, ¡°How could I not want to¡­¡±


    He couldn¡¯t resist hugging Lu Tao. He put his hands around the man¡¯s waist and buried his face in his chest, inhaling the smell of his body, and muttered, ¡°This is clearly what I¡¯ve been dreaming of¡­¡±

 CH 10

    Cheng Jin used to spend lavishly, but he had good taste. His bedroom was decorated in a way that made those who stayed feel special and comfortable. He also liked using a lot of small ornaments to decorate the house, it¡¯s just that the ornaments weren¡¯t cheap, unlike now where cheap goods run rampant, and some were made by Cheng Jin with the leftover materials from his work.


    Lu Tao earnestly scanned every corner. He seemed to find everything interesting. He picked up a small object woven into a wavy shape and looked at it attentively, full of curiosity. ¡°Is this¡­ a flower vase?¡±


    ¡°No, it¡¯s a container for small things.¡± Cheng Jin was a bit shy. In fact, there was a luminous pearl in it, a rare mineral which he liked a ton, but after he paid for his father¡¯s medicine, he couldn¡¯t even afford to eat nutritional soup for a few days, so he simply sold it.


    Because it was sold through his brother, he didn¡¯t lose money. That sum of money supported him for three months. After that, because he could proficiently complete Andy¡¯s orders, he was no longer poor to the point of hunger.


    ¡°This shape is a bit peculiar. Where did you get it?¡±


    Cheng Jin said, ¡°I made it myself.¡±


    Lu Tao looked at him in surprise. He didn¡¯t know why. Although he had no memory, he instinctively felt that Cheng Jin wasn¡¯t the kind of person who could do such things. Cheng Jin blushed, a little ashamed of his stare. ¡°I-If you need a scarf or gloves or anything, I-I can also knit them for you.¡±


    Lu tao¡¯s heart raced uncontrollably as the word ¡°cute¡± popped into his head at the sight of his red-faced partner. He walked over, kissed Cheng Jin¡¯s flushed cheek and whispered with a smile, ¡°I had no idea my partner was so capable. I¡¯ve checked. Handmade woven items are rare nowadays, right? At least very few people on the planet do it.¡±


    ¡°Ah, you even checked that¡­¡± Cheng Jin still felt shy about the kiss. The rims of his eyes were a bit flushed. Smelling his husband¡¯s breath who was only a few meters away, chaotic thoughts inevitably made their way to his mind.


    After all, it had been so long since he made out with this guy.


    ¡°Just took a peak.¡± Lu Tao stared at his partner and saw the spring in his eyes. His male instinct made him want to conquer. He stretched out his hand and, before Cheng Jin could escape, he had buckled his warm palm on his waist and pulled him closer to himself.


    ¡°Nngh¡­¡± Their lower bodies were almost stuck together. Cheng Jin let out a light cry and looked at his husband bashfully.

    Lu Tao stroked his cheek with his other hand, pressed the corner of his eyes roughly, and whispered, ¡°Have we¡­ not done it before?¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s breathing became more disorderly.  He could hardly look at him, but he had to. ¡°Of course we did¡­¡± he said shyly.


    ¡°And you still look nervous?¡± The handsome man came closer, his gaze rested on his face, then gently pressed close to his lips, seeming to contemplate whether he¡¯d kiss him or not. Aware of his hurried breathing, he raised an eyebrow. ¡°Afraid of me?¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple rolled. His face was beet red to the roots of his ears. ¡°Not afraid¡­¡± He plucked up his courage and kissed Lu Tao¡¯s lips.


    The worst had already happened. The man he loved did not love him and had detested him for years. What else was there to fear?


    Consider these few months as a gift from God. After Lu Tao recovers, he would leave far away and spend the rest of his life with these sweet memories in his arms.


    Warm lips pressed together, as if sparks had ¡°popped¡± on the hot oil, setting a large fire ablaze. Their tongues entangled as their lips pressed closer. When he felt his husband kissing back, Cheng Jin was so excited he shook all over, and his lower body immediately reacted.


    The erect cock pushed up his pants. When he sat on Lu Tao, he could feel the other¡¯s bigger protruding tent. Cheng Jin closed his eyes and couldn¡¯t restrain from reaching out and rubbing Lu Tao¡¯s behemoth across his pants back and forth.


    Lu Tao, who was being rubbed by him, kissed him more fiercely. After their lips finally separated, his husband whispered, ¡°Sure enough, you have experience. I searched. A virgin wouldn¡¯t dare to touch a man¡¯s bottom like this.¡±


    Cheng Jin gasped lowly, his eyes already watery. He said, ¡°You¡¯re my husband, I certainly dare to touch.¡± He whispered again, ¡°I dare to do more¡­¡±


    General Lu Tao stared at him with interest. ¡°What more do you mean?¡±


    Cheng Jin reached out to untie his belt. Lu Tao didn¡¯t stop him as he had done before, but looked at him expectantly. After he¡¯d unfastened the belt, Cheng Jin zipped down his pants again, and when he pulled down his underwear, the long, thick penis ready for action had sprang out.


    The lord general was well-endowed. It was already large when it wasn¡¯t erected. After an erection, the cock was even bigger, and the slightly bent arc proved that it was a murder weapon that could make people reach the 7th heaven. When it was Cheng Jin¡¯s first time, it brought him to climax again and again.


    Seeing the familiar giant, Cheng Jin trembled. His mouth instinctively secreted a lot of saliva . He stretched out his hand and grasped the dick. His fingers weren¡¯t short, but he could barely hold it. The lord general¡¯s penis was first-class in both heat and hardness. The heat from Cheng Jin¡¯s palm transmitted to his body, as if an electric current had run through it. He gently stroked it a few times, then knelt down in front of it, stretched out his tongue and licked it.


    ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Such a stimulus wasn¡¯t small. Lu Tao couldn¡¯t help release a muffled grunt, and a surprised and awe expression appeared in his eyes. The sensation of being licked by Cheng Jin¡¯s tongue gave rise to a strong pleasure, which made his scalp tingle. After a while, he couldn¡¯t stop himself from producing a stifled moan.


    Cheng Jin secretly paid attention to his expression and couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°What? Husband didn¡¯t search about this matter?¡±


    Lu tao only felt himself get more excited when he heard cheng Jin say ¡®husband¡¯. ¡°I haven¡¯t seen the video teaching sex yet,¡± he whispered.


    ¡°Then let me demonstrate to you the real deal first.¡± At this point, Cheng Jin was no longer ashamed, after all, if he had been more reserved before, there¡¯d be no chance he¡¯d be intimate with Lu Tao.


    And the familiar taste had also made him excited, making it difficult for him to stop. He was obviously on his knees sucking a man¡¯s dick, but he didn¡¯t feel humiliated at all. He just wanted to taste this cock well with his lips and tongue. He even rubbed his cheek against his husband¡¯s pillar and sucked it inch by inch with his rosy lips. He was particularly experienced in oral sex because he had once studied it very seriously.


    As long as a man¡¯s cock is hard, his heart will soften.


    This was a famous saying from a certain emotional guru.


    Cheng Jin regarded this quote as a golden word because he had learned many ways to please Lu Tao, but this was the only one that seemed to have any effect, even though Lu Tao would sometimes guard against him and tried to keep him away.


    When his tongue wrapped the man¡¯s balls into his mouth and sucked them, Lu Tao finally couldn¡¯t stand it. The desire in his eyes intensified as he whispered, ¡°You suck so good¡­.¡±


    ¡°Satisfied?¡± Cheng Jin looked at him obsessively. He had asked this sentence before, but Lu Tao never answered.


    ¡°Satisfied.¡± But now Lu Tao gave him the answer. After he spat out the big sac, Lu Tao rubbed his lips with the tip of his dick. ¡°Here too.¡±


    Cheng Jin opened his mouth, took his huge tip into his mouth and sucked it tempestuously. His features were obviously the innocent and cute type, but he looked so sexy and seductive when giving a blowjob to a man. His lips were red, and his tongue was wet and soft. The way his mouth was stretched out was even more maddening.


    He would also deliberately suck loudly. The sound of his sucking, gulping, and even the wet sounds were almost like he was eating something delicious. His face also had an expression full of enjoyment, which made his husband feel extremely satisfied just looking at it.


    Out of control, Lu Tao touched his face and held his head, trying to penetrate deeper. Cheng Jin obediently adjusted his angle. The surface of his tongue was pressed against the cock, and when it pushed against his throat, he endured the urge to gag, and vaguely said, ¡°Come inside¡­¡±


    The lord general instinctively felt that it would bring him greater pleasure there, yet he was also a little hesitant. ¡°Can I?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve eaten it before¡­¡± Cheng Jin¡¯s eyelashes were stained with moisture, his eyes roaming about. ¡°I¡¯ve eaten my husband¡¯s¡­..¡±


    Lu Tao took a deep breath and couldn¡¯t endure it any longer. He pushed his penis into the tight mouth several times. After that, the tip entered a very narrow passage. The pressure compelled him to go further and deeper recklessly, and by the time he felt the pleasure of automatic sucking, he already went a little insane.


    Cheng Jin was also going crazy. He loved Lu Tao very much, loved the taste of his body, and also liked the feeling of being possessed by him. He felt uncomfortable, but he also felt excited as he deep-throated him. He even took the initiative to rock his head to fiddle his husband¡¯s cock, even though the corners of his mouth were about to burst.


    Lu Tao¡¯s penis was 20 centimeters long, and when it was fully pushed in, Cheng Jin¡¯s slender neck was propped up in the shape of a cock, and his whole face was buried in the man¡¯s dense pubic hair. His lips soon became red and swollen, and the physiological reaction made his tears and sob flow out, and his saliva also overflowed. His originally beautiful and clean face was filthy, but it made his husband crazy.


    ¡°So good, so good.¡± The lord general jerked his waist out of control, pumping into Cheng Jin¡¯s throat consecutively. Although he had looked up about the knowledge of sex on the light screen, the written words couldn¡¯t describe the real pleasure.


    He only felt that he had lost control. He clearly felt distressed to see Cheng Jin¡¯s pitiful appearance, but he still couldn¡¯t stop himself from moving, and even became more excited because of his expression.


    It was like his delicate wife had become his exclusive meat condom for his cock to vent his desire. After an unknown number of thrusts, a strong wave of pleasure hit him, and the lord general instinctively felt like he was going to release something.


    In that instant, a powerful self-control controlled his body, wanting it to draw back. He felt that he should at least not cum inside Cheng Jin¡¯s mouth, but Cheng Jin caught up with him, his red lips sucking tightly on his penis. When his throat contracted and expanded, Lu Tao couldn¡¯t hold back and let all the burning body fluids out of his partner¡¯s mouth.


    The moment Cheng Jin tasted his husband¡¯s semen, his untouched penis also shot out.

 CH 11

    End of NSFW


    The lord general was so stimulated by the image in front of him that he had almost hardened again. He rubbed his fingertips against Cheng Jin¡¯s lips then whispered, ¡°It tastes bad, you don¡¯t dislike it?¡±


    ¡°Delicious.¡± Cheng Jin smiled gently, then stretched out his tongue to roll in the remaining liquid from the corners of his mouth, like a satiated kitten.


    Lu Tao couldn¡¯t stand it any longer. He picked him up from the carpet and kissed him on the lips, but after tasting the taste in his mouth, he scowled in disgust and retreated. ¡°It¡¯s not delicious at all.¡±


    Cheng Jin hurriedly covered his mouth, the corners of his eyes were smiling. ¡°A little fishy, right?¡±


    ¡°Yeah.¡± Lu Tao pinched his upturned nose with his fingers. Actually, when he saw Cheng Jin at first glance, he had wanted to take a good squeeze of this man.


    Although he had no memory, he just felt that he very much loved his appearance. He¡¯d been so elated when he heard from Fei Li that he was his partner and wife.


    He had amnesia. If ever he¡¯d been married, he¡¯d be willing if the other was Cheng Jin.


    Despite that moment, Cheng Jin was still a stranger.


    Cheng Jin had great skin. His complexion looked better after his lips were rubbed red. His good looks leaned more on the feminine side, sorta like a doll, with long eyelashes, round and bright eyes, and tender pale skin.


    Lu Tao pinched his nose, then couldn¡¯t resist squeezing his cheek. The contact was enough to make him happy. He had also kneaded his jaw. His eyes fell on his fair, tender and plump earlobes, then his hands he reached out to knead.


    Being touched by him like this, Cheng Jin didn¡¯t reject it at all, and just tried to keep his mouth shut. Lu Tao noticed and pinched his nose again. ¡°Why are you not talking?¡±

    In the bathroom, the little robot had already prepared the clean water. It probably knew that both his owners were at home, that it even thoughtfully laid out the cleaning supplies.


    New females, in the end, were still biologically male. They had no vagina like women, so the actual way they made love was anal sex, but a womb was still connected in the anus of new females.


    If the penis was inserted, and ejaculated into the womb while doing it, there¡¯s a chance that the ¡®new female¡® would conceive a child.


    Before making love, cleaning the anus was a must. This isn¡¯t troublesome, because scientists had long since invented a convenient cleaner, which could completely clean the insides in a very short time without any pain.


    After he finished taking a shower, Cheng Jin sat on a machine similar to a toilet. His hole was coated with excellent lubricant, then a flexible rubber rod entered him and released liquid inside. Not long after, he began defecating. After a few times, the excretions on his hole came out already clean. The whole process could be completed in ten minutes.


    After he meticulously brushed his teeth, Cheng Jin looked at himself in the mirror.


    His hair had been washed, his body and back had been washed. There was no peculiar smell in his mouth. Everything seemed perfect. But he decided to lightly spray a perfume on himself before wrapping up in his bathrobe and walking out.


    He opened the bathroom door and came out followed by steam.


    When he saw Lu Tao turning over his photo album, Cheng Jin remembered that there were naked photos of himself inside. His face turned red and he ran over twittering steps, feeling a little guilty as he asked, ¡°Do you want to take a bath?¡±


    ¡°Of course.¡± His husband smirked and suddenly pulled out a photo and waved it in front of Cheng Jin. ¡°Look what I found!¡±


    Cheng Jin didn¡¯t need to look to know that it was his own naked photos. He was so ashamed that he hurriedly tried to snatch it. ¡°Don¡¯t look, don¡¯t look¡­¡± Seeing that he couldn¡¯t get it, he covered his face and denied, ¡°That¡¯s not me!¡±


    Lu Tao looked at the handwriting behind the photo and read, ¡°Little treasure Cheng Jin¡¯s 100th day photo as a memento, with inscriptions. If not you, then who?¡± He looked at the positive side and loudly praised, ¡°So cute~ The eyes are as big as they are now, and your bare butt looks like it feels good to touch.¡±


    Cheng Jin blushed and stopped hiding. He looked at Lu Tao with eagerness in his voice, ¡°My current¡­ hand feels good too¡­¡± He closed his eyes and threw away his face. ¡°I¡¯ll rub it for you later¡­ All right?¡±


    His husband¡¯s breathing hitched. He placed back the album, stretched his arms and squeezed his ass. He whispered, ¡°Wait for me, I¡¯ll be quick.¡±


    When the sound of running water was heard from the bathroom, Cheng Jin¡¯s face burst a bright shade of crimson. He rose and began to clean the place. He was delighted that what he had ceased to hope for was now actually happening, albeit temporarily.


    He had already given up the fact that Lu Tao would have sex with him in this bed, but he didn¡¯t expect it to come true now.


    The bed was already very clean and tidy, but he still rearranged it and took out the lubricants and the box of condoms that had not been used in a long time.


    As a matter of fact, after he was cleaned, he hardly needed lubrication. The inside was already wet enough, but he still prepared it in advance, just in case. He took out another condom, laid it on the blue sheet, stared at it for a moment, then took out another from the box before putting it away.


    Twice, that should be enough, right?


    He heard the bathroom door open the same time he finished. Lu Tao really washed very fast. Only 7-8 minutes had passed before he went in.


    Cheng Jin subconsciously turned to his direction when he heard it, only to be greeted by a stark naked man. He didn¡¯t know where to rest his gaze, so he shamefully turned back. Lu Tao in contrast, did not hide away and openly flaunted it, the weight of the thing between his legs blatant. It swung around as he walked, and when his eyes fell on Cheng Jin¡¯s bare shin, it saluted bit by bit.


    Encasing his much shorter partner in a full embrace, Lu Tao then sucked his neck and teased, ¡°You smell good.¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s mental state went in disarray, as he whispered, ¡°I-I sprayed perfume..¡± He could feel the man¡¯s lust in his thin bathrobe, and a moment later, the hard, hot thing pressed against the back of his waist, so he didn¡¯t dare move at all. Lu Tao noticed something on the bed and asked curiously, ¡°What¡¯s that? ¡±


    Cheng Jin responded, ¡°Lubricant¡­ and protection¡­¡±


    The lord general¡¯s brows knitted faintly. ¡°Why do you need protection? Is it a protective sheath? Commonly known as condoms?¡± His serious demeanor resembled the past him, so Cheng Jin felt a bit afraid. He shivered then said, ¡°Yes..¡±


    ¡°Why?¡± Lu Tao frowned and stared at him with a frightening flame in his eyes. ¡°Aren¡¯t we husband and wife? The reason why even if we¡¯ve been married for seven years and have no kids is because every time we have sex you ask for a condom? Why don¡¯t you want to get pregnant?¡±


    The inquisitive words once again made Cheng Jin helpless. Of course he had wanted to give Lu Tao children, lots, and lots of children.


    He had even thought of using their child to bind him to his side. He had thought so even before the wedding because Lu Tao would give him a cold face; he thought that as long as he had a child, their relationship would be closer, and Lu Tao¡¯s attitude towards himself would also change.


    However, his vision had been interrupted on their wedding night when Lu Tao had given a requirement that he¡¯d either wear a condom, or they wouldn¡¯t have sex at all.


    Cheng Jin, obviously, wasn¡¯t so willing to be not close to him, so he had naturally agreed to his request. And after he very badly tried to make himself pregnant by breaking the condom, but was detected by Lu Tao, the other left home that night and went to the military headquarters, and did not return for more than half a year. Cheng Jin no longer entertained such an idea.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t ask for it¡± The words were already on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn¡¯t say them. If Lu Tao knew that their past relationship was very bad, he¡¯d be bound to have doubts, and if scrutinized deeply, Lu Tao might even stop giving him the current warmth he now had. Cheng Jin said softly, ¡°I-I just feel that I¡¯m still young and could take my time¡­¡±


    Lu Tao¡¯s face softened a little, but he still looked dissatisfied. ¡°You must not love me enough!¡±


    The words cut Cheng Jin¡¯s heart like a sharp knife, and he had to work hard not to show a hurt expression. He hugged Lu Tao as if clutching a life-saving straw and whispered, ¡°No one loves you more than I do.¡±


    Loved humbly, so much that reason had gone astray; his self and pride lost, yet he had still fallen in this ridiculous circumstance.


    Lu Tao, with a satisfied look on his face after he heard, kissed him on the top of his head and said, ¡°StIll not ready now? I happen to have eight months off, how about having a baby for fun?¡±


    ¡°Is having a baby for fun?¡± Cheng Jin was somewhat amused. ¡°And it usually takes nine months to give birth, not eight.¡±


    ¡°I should be able to request another leave. How about it? Let¡¯s have a child?¡± His man cupped his face with a look of anticipation.


    If Lu Tao had asked him this when he was still okay in the past, Cheng Jin would¡¯ve nodded fiercely, but reason told him that the current Lu Tao was only ¡®temporary¡¯. He said such words now only because he had amnesia. When his memory returns, with his personality, he¡¯d only think that it was just another trick, that he seduced him.


    And if he did get pregnant, what should he do by that time then?


    It would only just bring more agony in his life. Lu Tao did not love him and would never love the child he¡¯d give birth to.


    His string of reason tightened. Cheng Jin smiled gently and put on a coquettish look. ¡°Will you wait? When I¡¯m a year older, I won¡¯t be afraid to have children. I¡¯ll give you a nest of kids at that time.¡±


    Although Cheng Jin had a smile when he said this, his heart had been in unparalleled pain.


    Because he knew that Lu Tao would never want it.

 CH 12

    The lord general was obviously satisfied with Cheng Jin¡¯s initiative to throw himself in his arms. Although he could tell that something was wrong with Cheng Jin¡¯s tone, he had amnesia, and at such a moment he had no time to think it through.


    He had to earnestly taste his little wife¡¯s body.


    His hand slipped under the hem of his bathrobe, touched the round meaty buttocks wrapped in underwear, and kneaded it with vigor; the sensation felt wonderful.


    Let alone that the person in his arms had been kneaded by him into whimpering, the sound was euphonious and sweet, which excited him even more. Lu Tao whispered, ¡°It¡¯s really good to knead. Let me take a look.¡±


    Cheng Jin blushed, but still obediently knelt on the bed. Trembling, he pulled the string of his robe off. Not waiting for him to take all of it off, Lu Tao intervened, ¡°I¡¯ll do it.¡±


    Like a child peeling off a candy wrapper, Lu Tao eagerly took off his partner¡¯s clothes. When he saw Cheng Jin¡¯s bare back, and when his smooth waist line and undulating hip line was revealed, he was so excited that his breathing had turned chaotic.


    Cheng Jin wore a pair of gray underwear under his bathrobe, his skin reflecting as translucent as jade. The fabric bulged up by his upturned buttocks, and a small, wet mark could be seen at the sippet.


    Cheng Jin collapsed on his knees, his legs were still somewhat closed, and when Lu Tao gently pried them, he trembled and cooperatively opened his legs some more. Sensing his nervousness, the lord general dropped a light kiss on his shoulder and teased, ¡°Where¡¯s the courageous you just now? Where did it go?¡±


    ¡°That wasn¡¯t me¡­¡± Cheng Jin shyly buried his face in the pillow. When he was about to suffocate himself, he was picked up by his husband and kissed. This time, he kissed his lips. Cheng Jin didn¡¯t dare to look at him. In fact, although he¡¯s full of longing for the other, he¡¯d developed a kind of fear once he comes into close contact with him.


    He wasn¡¯t afraid of Lu Tao¡¯s ruthlessness, but he was afraid to see the abhorrence he had for him in his eyes.


    Especially when they were doing something intimate.


    He closed his eyes and passively accepted his man¡¯s kiss, Lu Tao had never kissed him so gently before, and between their intertwined lips and tongues, all that  uneasiness and anxiety were suppressed for a bit. He felt the man stripped him off his underwear, and the two became completely naked.


    Cheng Jin¡¯s buttocks were in good shape. The secluded hole between his buttocks had been cleaned and already turned soft and wet. When his husband¡¯s fingers rubbed  lightly against the entrance, Cheng Jin squirmed his butt uneasily, subconsciously wanting to escape. But then, the slender, calloused finger went in.


    ¡°Ahh¡­¡± Cheng Jin panted, his cat-like eyes were red. ¡°Husband, you can just come in right away¡­¡±

    Lu Tao perceived something and suddenly asked, ¡°Have I¡­ never done this for you before?¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s momentary pause answered Lu Tao. Guilty, he leaned over and kissed Cheng Jin tenderly on his lips. ¡°How could I have been so wicked before ah!¡±


    ¡°Not wicked.¡± Cheng Jin hurriedly said, ¡°I¡¯m just not good enough.¡±


    So I¡¯m unworthy, undeserving.


    In fact, Lu Tao also felt it unbearable when his slender fingers were inserted into the bottom. Even if it¡¯s just his fingers, he could feel how tight and hot Cheng Jin is inside. If he changed it into his big dick¡­ He did his best to squeeze in and expand, and suddenly asked, ¡°Where¡¯s the womb?¡±


    ¡°Push inward¡­¡± Cheng Jin blushed. ¡°It¡¯s a bit deep, your fingers may not touch¡­ ahh¡­¡± His husband¡¯s fingers had already rubbed the entrance before he even finished speaking, and the pleasure that spread instantly made Cheng Jin let out a sweet, cloying shriek.


    Lu Tao then felt a stream of liquid pouring out of the entrance, wet and slippery, glistening and moistening the entire canal. He brushed his fingertips there again, and Cheng Jin shook his ass uncontrollably, his throat emitting incessant whimpers, as the passageway increasingly turned wet.


    ¡°So sensitive?¡± Lu Tao was surprised.


    ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t know¡­¡± Cheng Jin¡¯s shyness turned endless. The length of Lu Tao¡¯s fingers could only touch the entrance, but the pleasure was already very intense.


    ¡°What would you look like if it were fully penetrated, huh?¡± The lord general¡¯s tone was full of interest. He was also a bit chagrined that he had lost his memory, and couldn¡¯t remember what Cheng Jin¡¯s reactions were like in the past.


    Cheng Jin bit his lower lip and whimpered, ¡°Never been¡­entered¡­¡± Lu Tao didn¡¯t want to impregnate him. More than just having sex with a condom on, he¡¯d also not enter his womb. It was pure anal sex.


    On a couple of occasions, the small opening of his was rubbed open a bit, and his husband had almost pushed his dick¡¯s head all the way in, but in the end he restrained himself.


    This time it was Lu Tao who froze. He looked at his soft partner who had melted in his arms. If he weren¡¯t hard down there, he¡¯d really doubt if he had been able to do it before, otherwise why hadn¡¯t he completely invaded him?


    Not allowing him to think about it, Cheng Jin climbed up and took the initiative to embrace his neck and kiss, the tip of his brows and the corners of his eyes full of spring. ¡°Do you want to¡­ try it now?¡±


    Between his partner¡¯s open legs, the pink cock was already erect, and the two little balls were also very cute. ¡°Don¡¯t you need to be loosened more?¡± asked Lu Tao.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± When Cheng Jin went to get the condom, unsealed it, and was about to put it on Lu Tao, the lord general was a little aggrieved. ¡°Can I not wear it?¡±


    Cheng Jin laughed, retained his smile and no longer spoke. He continued to sheath him, then squeezed some lubricant on it.


    When he was contemplating whether he¡¯d take the initiative to sit on it, the man had pushed him down on the bed with a violent force, grabbed his waist with one hand and firmly held him. A moment later, the thick, long penis touched his fleshy hole, rubbing against the opening of his petite hole and then drove straight in skillfully.


    ¡°Nghaa¡­¡± The moment he was stretched out, Cheng Jin had still felt a hint of pain, but was soon surrounded by a sense of satisfaction. He¡¯d get excited every time he had sex, not just physically, but also psychologically.


    Only then could he get so close to Lu Tao.


    The tears uncontrollably filled his eyes and were illuminated by the light, shattered into a whole luster. The man ambled up, leaned forward and dropped a shallow kiss on his shoulder. His tone was gentle and low, ¡°It¡¯s so tight inside, baobei¡­.¡±


    Hearing this nickname, Cheng Jin shivered all over and looked back at Lu Tao in disbelief. ¡°How did you know my nickname¡­¡±


    Lu Tao chuckled. ¡°It¡¯s written on the back of the photo ah, little idiot.¡±


    The spoiling tone frightened Cheng Jin. He whispered, ¡°That was written by my mom¡­¡±


    Seeing his wife like a small animal, the lord general¡¯s heart badly wanted to bully him until his eyes reddened and his whole body flushed pink.


    The more he thought about it, the more his penis swelled. He rammed straight into Cheng Jin¡¯s body, stretching him open, allowing the original entrance with some creases to be stretched out, similarly to a pink ring.


    The penis kept plunging deeper unceasingly. When it rubbed against a certain spot, Cheng Jin¡¯s trembled. ¡°Di-Dim the lights¡­.¡±


    The voice-activated lights dimmed, hiding his pitiful appearance in the darkness. The lord general felt dissatisfied. ¡°Turn on all the lights,¡± he shouted.


    Click. All the lights in the room lit up, illuminating the whole bedroom as bright as day, and once again made Cheng Jin¡¯s reaction visible.


    Cheng Jin trembled, his ass hole clenched the invading object tighter; he¡¯d panicked so much that he pulled the quilt to cover his face. But before he could grab it, his hand was clasped by his husband¡¯s own, and he could no longer move it forward.


    The long, thick weapon edged in slowly, the white lubricant smeared at his hole, seemingly similar to that substance, and looked very erotic.


    The lord general jostled him down altogether. ¡°Why won¡¯t you openly show me?¡± asked the General, as if he were his master.


    Cheng Jin suddenly felt wronged and whispered, ¡°You didn¡¯t want to look before¡­¡±


    ¡°Then I used to be such a jerk.¡± Unable to pry further, Lu Tao fell into a frenzied lust, and felt that the place clamping him seemed to be devouring him whole. Cheng Jin refuted, ¡°You¡¯re not a jerk, you¡¯re¡­.ahhn¡­ Hnng¡­ So deep¡­¡±


    Different personality, but still the same strength when having sex; plunging straight into the deepest depths, the pillar inside violently rubbed his sensitive spot, eliciting a scream of ecstacy from Cheng Jin.


    His rear hole grew more wet, especially when the entrance to his womb had been grinded. The sensation was so pleasurable that it shook his mind and his whole body was so soft that he could do nothing but bear the man¡¯s violent railing.


    ¡°It¡¯s all in deep.¡± Lu Tao looked joyfully at the place where the two were joined and said with a slight smile, ¡°You really can ¡®eat¡¯¡­¡±


    Cheng Jin blushed. His husband¡¯s penis was thick and long. He could gobble it smoothly every time, so he¡¯s really ¡®edible¡¯, isn¡¯t he? He felt so satisfied that every time he was able to be one with Lu Tao, he felt that his love also had some meaning.


    Their testicles were almost packed together, one small and one heavy. Lu tao played with them and also fondled Cheng Jin¡¯s dick. ¡°So excited?¡± He teased in a low voice as he felt the sticky precum on the tip.


    ¡°Naturally ah¡­¡± Cheng Jin boldly looked at him, at Lu Tao, who had the same face but carried  a completely different personality. ¡°I like making love with my husband¡­¡±


    One sentence was exchanged for an even more violent fucking from his husband. The thick and long cock pulled out most of the way and then pushed it back in deeply, reaching at the very depths, until his dick bulged in Cheng Jin¡¯s belly.


    Lu Tao¡¯s sexual prowess was top-tier. Because he had great physical strength, with his V-shaped  bod, he¡¯d usually fuck him uninterrupted for nearly an hour. Cheng Jin used to cum two or three times before he¡¯d cum once.


    ¡°Huk¡­ Hnng¡­ So good¡­¡± Cheng Jin was incredibly invigorated. It was clear that anal sex could not be considered the best way to make love, but he just felt so good that he even felt his womb opening up under the intense friction.


    Apparently Lu Tao noticed, too. He slowed down and finally positioned his tip at the entrance of his womb. ¡°This is where you can give birth to babies, right?¡± He whispered.


    ¡°En¡­¡± The womb seemed to sense that it was about to be invaded, so it shivered feverishly, and a large stream of viscous liquid gushed from the entrance. Lu Tao was stimulated by the liquid. In the end, he couldn¡¯t hold back and sent his dick in.

 CH 13

    The womb was located in the abdomen, about ten centimeters away from the anus, and would usually be in a closed state. It would only open if the flesh was stimulated. If the semen entered here, there¡¯d be a chance of conceiving a child like a woman, and would blossom.


    They would, however, be required to do a ¡¯c-section¡¯. There had been cases before where new females would have a normal delivery, but all had caused a tear in their anal holes; for the ¡®mother¡¯s¡¯ sake, the new females who were 9 months pregnant would be arranged to stay at the hospital, where they¡¯d be assigned a specialist to assist their delivery.


    Their wombs were versatile, which differed from a woman¡¯s uterus wherein penetration would be painful. If the womb was rubbed and thrusted in during the moment of passion, it would bring them to ecstasy, as the inner walls were made up of heavily-layered obsequious meat; it would give a very intense pleasure, and even the giver would receive an unprecedented bliss.


    That¡¯s where the lord general was currently invading him.


    The dainty flesh hole had been brutally stretched and propped up by him to the point where it was big enough to accommodate it in, and when the ravishing flesh sucked on its intruder for the first time, both men stifled a carnal moan. Cheng Jin¡¯s body bounced even more as his hole sucked and contracted rapidly, sensibly stimulated, and because it was too stimulating that he instinctively wanted to hide.


    But as soon as his knee moved forward, his ankle was firmly clasped by his husband, and the long, thick cock had thrusted in him again; the meat pilar had broke through the tight shackles and completely penetrated deeply, allowing the small half of the penis be wrapped around the womb.


    ¡°Wuwu¡­. Don¡¯t¡­ Husband¡­ husband¡­.¡± Cheng Jin only felt sore and numb inside; that sort of feeling where it¡¯d make people lose control, as if they¡¯d go crazy at any time; even his cock on the front had been stimulated to the extreme. He fell into a trance. The feeling seemed familiar to him, as if he had experienced it at some point, but he could not remember exactly when.


    ¡°Where does don¡¯t apply? Isn¡¯t it obviously very good?¡± Lu tao, of course, wouldn¡¯t let him go. He even hated the thin-layered condom, which prevented him from fully tasting the pleasure of being wrapped in his partner.


    The lord general suddenly thought of a bad idea. He decided to take off this cover when Cheng Jin was unprepared.


    ¡°It¡¯s so strange¡­ wuwu¡­ it¡¯s so strange¡­¡± Cheng Jin trembled all over, and his mouth couldn¡¯t close. The crystal clear saliva flowed down from the corners of his mouth, a layer of sweat emerged from his glittering skin, and his entire body was as pink as a shrimp.


    Lu tao whispered, ¡°It wouldn¡¯t be strange if we do it more than once.¡± He started thrusting in and out, unable to control his movements. He pulled his penis out of that narrow womb, threading through the intestines, then out with just the head nipped in the anal hole, and then mercilessly nailed it in, thrusting it deeper inside the womb.


    With the tightness within, he just wanted to push it hard inside, especially when the head was sucked by ecstatic layered meat. It was as if he had been brought to heaven, so he couldn¡¯t help but fuck him more violently. The person in his arms was so fucked by him that he was trembling, his tears and saliva flowed out, and he looked miserable.


    But once his movements slowed down a little, the slutty red ass hole took the initiative to clip and suck him, and Cheng Jin also unconsciously screamed, ¡°Husband¡­ husband..wuuu¡­ Husband¡­.¡±

    After he came, he had an adapting phase. At that very moment, Lu Tao moved again and he felt uncomfortable, but he tried to endure it. He didn¡¯t say anything, but Lu Tao sensed something was wrong.


    Cradling the man in his arms, Lu Tao rubbed his little balls, his little tits, and touched his soiled dick, while his penis was dormant inside him. Lu Tao said in a low voice, ¡°Cummed so soon? It hasn¡¯t even been ten minutes yet.¡±


    Cheng Jin blushed and whispered, ¡°It¡¯s because it was too good ah¡­¡±


    Lu Tao was moved by his lovely reaction. The tall man couldn¡¯t help but slowly thrust in his back hole while he kneaded him, grinding his sensitive spots with his dick¡¯s body as he kissed him again. His tongue stirred in his mouth, and when they parted, a thread of saliva was stuck together and was pulled between them.


    Cheng Jin had a sensitive body, so he got excited again. The little dick stood up gallantly once more, full of spirit. His back hole excitedly wriggled, and began its second round of eating cock.


    By the time of Cheng Jin¡¯s second release, his squirt had reached the womb. The hungry inner flesh rapidly sucked and gripped, and the reaction was more intense than the throat. The reaction was even more intense than when he¡¯d deepthroated him. Lu Tao inhaled, and completely broke his defenses. He brutally fucked his insides dozens of times, and then cummed frenziedly.


    Cheng Jin was too lazy to move his hands and fingers after he came. He was soaked all over.  His back was covered with hickeys, while his chest was covered with finger marks and pinches, and his seductive nipples kept sticking out coquettishly.


    Lu Tao dropped a kiss on his earlobe, then slowly pulled out his penis. The transparent condom was stained with white liquid. Its peak was heavy, and full of warm seed. He had a large amount of semen and looked like it filled half of the condom. Cheng Jin was also taken aback. He whispered, ¡°That¡¯s a lot¡­¡±


    Lu Tao approached, his gaze burning. ¡°If I shot directly into your womb, will it be filled?¡±


    Cheng Jin imagined that his womb was filled with his husband¡¯s semen. He felt so embarrassed that he wanted to pull a quilt to cover his head, but Lu Tao stopped him.


    His husband threw the condom into the trash, grabbed his hand and placed it between his crotch, then said, ¡°One more time.¡±He added with a low smile. ¡°You prepared two condoms, I can¡¯t refuse your good intentions.¡±


    Cheng jin was so shy that his heart beat faster as his fingers grasped the big, slippery cock. His heart had also yearned for a second union with his husband. Cheng Jin¡¯s body had quite a fast recovery. After a while he already had the strength to lick his man¡¯s penis. He directly contained the still soft cock into his mouth, and then when he spat it out, the penis had already turned thick and big, and restored its hardness.


    While he was putting the condom on his husband, Cheng Jin looked at him and asked shyly, ¡°Can you¡­ hold me this time?¡± He hooked his arms around Lu Tao¡¯s neck and spread his legs open.


    Lu Tao hugged his waist and impatiently pushed his penis into his anus. ¡°Of course.¡±


    The posture of making love face-to-face was what Cheng Jin had been looking forward to before. He felt that he could clearly see the other with this posture and facilitate kissing. It was a completely intimate position.


    He had used this position with Lu Tao once before, but it did not make him happy, and instead, made him feel sad, because it made him obviously see the indifference in his husband¡¯s eyes.


    He gave up after that. If his husband wouldn¡¯t even show a bit of affection for him during sex, the more desperate he¡¯d be to elicit a response. During that time, he¡¯d just found out about his family¡¯s bankruptcy. Cheng Jin had gained insight to how the world truly worked in just a short time, and his mentality had suffered a very large change. It had also been the first time he truly realized his previous mistakes.


    Cheng Jin realized that Lu Tao would never fall in love with him in this life. He had corrected himself too late, but he couldn¡¯t make up his mind to give up. He always wanted to put it off until the last minute.


    And it dragged on until the current change of fate.


    Though he knew it was not a favorable turn of events, but a fond dream given to him by an accident.


    What Cheng Jin saw from the broken shadow was no longer indifference, but passion. Cheng Jin felt content. He snaked his arms around his husband¡¯s neck and kissed him with trembling lips. When their lips met, he wasn¡¯t rejected, but was passionately kissed.


    Cheng Jin even felt his heart was melting away.


    The two were tightly clasped together, intertwined. The fiery cock kept pushing in and pulling out of the delicate hole. When it invaded the womb, Cheng Jin¡¯s body shook once again, and his erotic cry had become more sweet and satiny. and was finally fucked into cumming.


    Before the lord general came, he had always felt a bit dissatisfied. He licked the person in his arms like a kitten, then all of a sudden he lifted Cheng Jin¡¯s butt, pulled out his penis, and then removed the condom.


    When the hot penis fiercely pushed in again, even Cheng Jin, who was still under the effects of his post-orgasm, noticed the difference. His already big eyes had widened further in disbelief. ¡°Y-you took off the condom¡­¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want it.¡± Lu Tao closed the distance and kissed him until he had no power to refute. He shoved his cock inside the womb. It felt exactly the same as he¡¯d imagined. Unimpeded sex made him extremely excited and brave. He felt fearless. Cheng Jin had yet to fully adapt to it when he began to thrust fiercely.


    ¡°Wuwu¡­. N-no¡­ughh¡­I¡¯ll get pregnant¡­.¡± Cheng Jin was panicking a bit. He clung both his hands on his husband¡¯s shoulders, but he lacked the strength to stop his movements.


    And the fact that he¡¯d been inserted by Lu Tao without a cover had also given him intense psychological pleasure. The beautiful walls in the womb actually sucked and clamped harder than before.


    Lu Tao obviously felt it and said with a low laugh, ¡°Don¡¯t you love it? You¡¯d rather be fucked by me directly than with a condom, right?¡± He added with an evil smile, ¡°It swallows so tight ah, Cheng Jin, little treasure.¡±


    Cheng Jin blushed, but didn¡¯t know how to retort. The violent pleasure swept him like a tide, and made him only feel happiness. At the most comfortable moment, even his toes curled up. Sensing the urge to cum, Lu Tao leaned and whispered in his ear, ¡°If you get pregnant with a baby, then have the baby.¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s eyes widened and stared at him in disbelief.


    His handsome husband said softly, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, because I¡¯ll always be by your side.¡± Then he kissed his lips and pushed his penis inside him again.


    The huge cock head grinded his itchy and promiscuous inner flesh vigorously, making them secrete more juice. It went so deep that Cheng Jin¡¯s belly had often even showed the shape of his husband¡¯s dick head, which made the hard-as-steel cock tremble, then shot out semen in his womb.


    With his womb repeatedly rubbed, Cheng Jin¡¯s body trembled as he¡¯d been attacked by a strong sense of pleasure. The liquid juices gushed out uncontrollably and covered the crown of Lu Tao¡¯s dick, which made the hard-as-steel cock tremble, then it shot out semen in his womb.


    A large amount of semen sprayed on the inner walls of the womb, scalding Cheng Jin¡¯s insides as he sobbed. The womb contracted violently, and finally enclosed all the semen released by his husband.


    As Lu Tao had suspected, his womb was filled with his husband¡¯s semen.

 CH 14

    While Lu Tao bathed, Cheng Jin looked dazedly at his light screen.


    The blankets had been changed, and he had cleaned well, but he still had the illusion of the man¡¯s girth inside him, which made him feel uncomfortable, and his lower waist was aching.  He looked at the items on the screen, clicked the pharmacy tab, and right in the middle of the screen was a contraceptive.


    There were five pills in a box, which cost 15,000 points.


    A pill¡¯s efficacy lasts just a month, although there would be a change owing to physical constitution. Some people would experience a longer or shorter effect, but taking a tablet increased the likelihood of contraception within a month by 90%.


    In fact, research could achieve 100%, but the reason for ensuring this 10% was still the fertility rate. The planet had decided that abortion was illegal unless the fetus in the womb had serious deformities. Abortion was banned, and if it was discovered or reported, not only would the individual who conducted the abortion be banished, but the doctor who performed the abortion would be severely punished and sent to Hell Planet as punishment.


    Even birth control pills were a thousand times more expensive than on other planets.


    This balance used to be nothing to Cheng Jin, but now it gave him a headache. If he ever used that additional money, calculating the balance by deducting the money set aside for his father¡¯s medicine, he¡¯d only have enough for a week¡¯s supply of nutritional soup.


    But if he could hand in the order the day after tomorrow, then he could get a sum of money.


    Cheng Jin calculated carefully in his head. He no longer dared to wager on the odds of not becoming pregnant, and he no longer dreamt about staying at Lu Tao¡¯s side for the rest of his life if he conceived a kid.


    With closed eyes. Cheng Jin still clicked the purchase button. Hearing the successful purchase sound, Cheng Jin was a little relieved. He saw the door of the bathroom open, so he hurriedly turned off his light screen and then went to check on his husband.


    The tall man only wore a pair of casual pants. He had a powerful physique, with broad shoulders and a thin waist, and his pectoral and abdominal muscles were especially prominent. Even after laying in a hospital bed for so long, his muscles did not diminish, not to mention that he exercised in the hospital every day after he was able to stand up.


    Lu Tao approached him directly, a tiny grin on his lips and the corners of his mouth elevated, as if he was in a good mood. He walked to the side of the bed, stretched out his hand and squeezed Cheng Jin¡¯s cheek, then squeezed it again when he felt it was nice to touch. Cheng Jin had no intention of stopping him. He let him knead him for a while, and when he had enough, he said, ¡°Do you want to sleep?¡±


    ¡°Viffqs?¡±

    Cheng Jin shyly rolled into his arms and blocked his face. Lu Tao laughed then suddenly asked, ¡°How did we meet?¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s original grin had vanished as soon as he heard his question. He was relieved that Lu Tao couldn¡¯t see his face right now. He paused before saying, ¡°When you recover in a few months, you¡¯ll remember everything.¡±


    ¡°I want to know now. ¡°Lu Tao squeezed his ass, a bit domineering. ¡°Tell me.¡±


    Cheng Jin had no choice but to speak. ¡°You were a student of the military academy, and I was an ordinary high school student.¡± Speaking of students, he explained, ¡°On the Imperial Planet, there are no stringent learning standards; ordinary students have average grades, while those with high marks were chosen for the military academy, and those with the best grades can attend the military academy¡¯s headquarters.¡±


    He raised his head and looked at Lu Tao with adoration in his eyes. ¡°Your grades are very, very excellent!!!¡±


    He continued, ¡°The military academy¡¯s headquarters are strictly managed, but there are a few days a month when students can relax, and students from other schools can also enter and play; I was taken to your school by a classmate once, and there happened to be a basketball game going on at the school, and one of the players was you.¡±


    Lu Tao had no recollection of what he said, as if he were hearing someone else¡¯s experiences, yet he listened intently and even teased, ¡°You saw me, then you fell in love with me?¡± ¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s face turned red, and he whispered, ¡°Pretty much¡­¡±


    It was indeed almost the case. After he entered, he heard some boys and girls passionately yelling the name ¡°Lu Tao,¡± a person he had heard for a long time, but with his character as a young master, he didn¡¯t think much of him and only felt that others¡¯ praise was overdone, until he saw an active figure on the court.


    Basketball was quite a popular sport on any planet, but Cheng Jin had no interest in it since young, but even if he didn¡¯t like it, he could still tell that that person was playing well. His gaze was drawn automatically to the former, but due to the distance, he couldn¡¯t distinguish the man¡¯s appearance. He persuaded everyone around him to borrow or purchase a binocular.


    It was not until the intermission that the binoculars were delivered to him. He immediately scanned the crowd for that dazzling figure. When his gaze was fixed, he happened to see the man¡¯s rolling Adam¡¯s apple.


    It clearly was just an action of drinking water, but the sexiness he displayed made his heart palpitate. And when he chanced upon his face, Cheng Jin immediately fell.


    ¡°It turned out to be love at first sight for me. ¡± Lu Tao laughed pleasantly after hearing this, then pinched his flush cheeks. ¡°And what happened next? Just started actively pursuing me?¡± His imagination was also rich. ¡°Did I also fall in love with you at first sight, and then we fell in love quickly, and after we graduated, we got married right away?¡±


    Hearing speculations that were completely contrary to the facts, Cheng Jin only felt bitter in his heart, but tried to keep a smile on his face, and asked, ¡°Why do you¡­think so?¡±


    Lu Tao said without hesitation, ¡°Because you are very cute.¡± If he liked him at a glance even after he lost his memory, it must¡¯ve been the same before, right?


    ¡°I-is that so?¡± Cheng Jin froze for a moment. He had a little leap of faith in his heart, although it was still a bit more bitter.


    The lord general raised his eyebrows, ¡°Didn¡¯t it develop like this?¡±


    ¡°You turned me down at first.¡± Cheng Jin lied hard, trying not to reveal any of his flaws. ¡°You must¡¯ve thought I was too young, and then later, I repeatedly expressed my intention until you accepted.¡±


    No! That didn¡¯t happen!


    It was that the Cheng family took advantage of his poor circumstances and threatened Lu Tao. Lu Tao himself didn¡¯t mind being expelled from the Imperial planet, but his weakness was his grandmother, who was paralyzed at that time, and only the Imperial planet had the best doctors. He had already scheduled for his grandmother¡¯s surgery, but the Cheng family used methods to cancel his appointment, forcing him to compromise and marry someone he didn¡¯t love.


    In the end, the procedure was not totally successful due to the time delay. His grandmother could sit up, but she would never be able to walk on two legs again.


    When Cheng Jin learned the news, he panicked, worried that Lu Tao would not abide by the agreement, and also thought about how to keep him. However, Lu Tao still married him, but went to the battlefield the day after their wedding, and only came back once after more than half a year.


    Cheng Jin didn¡¯t recognize his faults in the past, but when he later realized, he could no longer make up for them.


    ¡°Still feeling wronged?¡± Lu Tao looked at his expression, mistakenly thinking that he had rejected him before, so he still felt aggrieved.


    Cheng Jin quickly shook his head. ¡°No.¡± He tempered his emotions, knowing that his grandmother might tell Lu Tao the truth soon, but he still hoped instinctively to get more warmth from him.


    Even if it was a lie.


    ¡°Saying he wasn¡¯t wronged, yet his eyes were red.¡± Lu Tao pinched his nose and teased him again, ¡°Why are you crying ah? When we just did it, you kept crying and crying, crying non-stop¡­¡± He suddenly leaned close to Cheng Jin¡¯s ear, lowered his voice and said, ¡°Crying makes me hard.¡±


    His warm breath sprayed on Cheng Jin¡¯s ears, which brought about itchiness and palpitation. The man¡¯s aura suddenly changed and became a little aggressive. Cheng Jin subconsciously wanted to hide, but before he could move, he was already firmly hugged by the other.


    His soft fingers were grabbed and pressed to a certain place. When he noticed the heat and hardness there, Cheng Jin¡¯s eyes widened in shock and looked at the man in front of him in disbelief. Lu Tao made their foreheads touch, and downright said in a suggestive tone, ¡°It¡¯s hard again.¡±


    Cheng Jin blushed, and stammered, ¡°Y-You shot three times¡­¡± Once in his mouth and twice in his body, although only a bubble of semen was poured into his womb.


    Lu Tao appeared innocent. ¡°Maybe I held it in for a long time before.¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s asshole was numb as soon as he touched his enormous thing. He didn¡¯t have a very outstanding physique. He¡¯d already shot four or five times and squirted three times today; he¡¯d surely not be able to handle another round of stimulation. That could keep him from getting up early tomorrow. But he wasn¡¯t about to turn down Lu Tao¡¯s approaches; after all, he could never ask for anything like this before. ¡°Can I relieve you with my mouth?¡± Cheng Jin inquired softly, in a bargaining tone.


    Lu Tao gave him an expectant look.

 CH 15

    After Lu Tao returned to his residence, more people had come to visit than when he was in the hospital.


    Cheng Jin had never entertained so many guests before. Although many guests visited their house when he was a young master, he merely ate, drank, had fun, and received praise and flattery. He had never had to do things like make tea or prepare sweets before, so he was anxious and uncomfortable. He didn¡¯t know if his mindset had changed after going bankrupt, but whenever he saw the well-dressed folks or those clearly in the higher echelons, he felt guilty.


    Fortunately, when they arrived, they just sat for a short while before leaving. After all, the lord general suffered amnesia and couldn¡¯t converse with them. Cheng Jin, on the other hand, received several presents.


    ¡°Wah, it¡¯s grapes!¡± ¡°Cheng Jin knelt on the carpet, happily unpacking the gift box. The presents they delivered were beautifully packaged. Cheng Jin gently opened them, attempting to cause as little damage to the box as possible. When he saw the dark-purple grapes neatly placed in the box, he couldn¡¯t help cheering, ¡°It¡¯s all delicious honey grapes!¡±


    Honey grapes were a type of grape that grew to be exceedingly huge and extremely sweet. When you peel off its skin, you¡¯ll usually find a coating of honey cream. It had a pleasant aroma and was a costly fruit. Cheng Jin used to love it very much, but he hadn¡¯t eaten it in over two years after he ran out of money.


    Lu Tao also sat casually, even supporting his chin with his palm. With his head cocked to one side, he peered at him. He lifted his brows as he noticed the apparent excitement on his face. ¡°Do you like it?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s a fruit that grows on the Sunshine Planet, where the days are long and the nights are short; there¡¯s lots of sunshine, so the fruits that grow there are incredibly delicious and ideal for growing all types of grapes. Allegedly, the production of this grape is the highest of them all, but it is still very expensive to buy on the Imperial planet. Do you know why?¡± Cheng Jin put the remaining pulp into his mouth. Because he liked the taste so much, his eyes narrowed slightly when chewing, looking like he was enjoying it.


    Lu Tao stared at him without blinking, and blurted casually, ¡°Because the distance is too far.¡±


    Cheng Jin had surprise written all over his face. ¡°How do you know?¡±


    ¡°I read about it.¡± Lu Tao seemed to like the various expressions on his face. The corners of his mouth rose slightly. ¡°I have a little understanding of the distribution, geographical location, residents, environment, laws, etc. of the 72 planets in the whole galaxy.¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s jaw nearly fell. After a while, he said, ¡°You¡¯re really amazing ah!¡± There was no fake adoration in his tone, which made Lu Tao feel a little carried away, but he didn¡¯t show it. He just nudged with his chin. ¡°Don¡¯t you want to see what the next gift is?¡±


    ¡°Of course I want to!¡± Cheng Jin looked forward to opening gifts for the first time. The young master had received mountains of gifts before, but he had never been interested in them; on the contrary, he despised the crude or insulting presents that others had given to him. Unlike right now, where he was pleasantly surprised even if he only received a bag of rice. ¡°This rice is so fragrant! You can cook porridge oh. Shall we have porridge tomorrow morning?¡±


    ¡°Sure.¡±


    ¡°Ah, this one is a very precious medicinal herb, a very beautiful ginseng. It should be very expensive ba.. It really is expensive.¡± Cheng Jin held the exquisite gift box and leaned closer to look at the ginseng tree inside, feeling a little distressed. ¡°But I forgot who sent it.¡±


    ¡°Lieutenant General Zhang Lei.¡± Lu Tao accurately named. Seeing that Cheng Jin still had some doubts, he added, ¡°The one with the big beard.¡±


    ¡°Oh oh! I remember, it¡¯s him.¡± Cheng Jin felt guilty. It was his job to receive guests, but he didn¡¯t do a good job. Thinking of this, he was a little muddled. ¡°They gave extremely costly gifts; isn¡¯t it wrong for us not to give one in return?¡±


    The lord general said decisively, ¡°It¡¯s okay!¡±


    If it were in the past, Cheng Jin would never have thought of giving anything in return, but now that he had matured, he realized that wasn¡¯t a very nice habit. He inclined his head and thought for a while, going over all the available items in the home, but still couldn¡¯t think of anything acceptable. In the end, he could only say, ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s very good. I¡¯ll think about what I can give back later.¡±


    He began to arrange the things, stooping carefully. Lu Tao watched for a while, seemed to make up his mind, then clicked on his communicator, found Fei Li, and transmitted a few words¨C No need to stop anyone who wanted to visit; anyone could come if they wanted to.


    After sending it, he turned off his communicator as if nothing had happened, looked at his little wife who was still sorting gifts, and muttered silently in his thoughts, ¡°It¡¯s best to remember to give gifts. ¡±


    Cheng Jin allied with the little robot to sort things out. Finally, only the box of dark-purple grapes was left. He stared at the grapes, which numbered less than a hundred, and looked slightly torn. Lu Tao said, ¡°Feel free to eat if you want, no need to leave it for me, I don¡¯t like the taste.¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s face turned a little red, he thanked him first, and then asked in a low voice, ¡°Can I get some for my dad?¡± He rubbed his hands nervously, as if ashamed. ¡°I-It should¡¯ve been a long time since he got to taste this. I want to take some for him to taste.¡±


    Lu Tao had no memory of Cheng Jin¡¯s father. When he was still in the hospital, he actually thought about asking Fei Li to sort out all the information about his little wife for himself, but he abandoned this idea in the end.


    He wanted to find out everything about his partner by himself. For this ¡°father-in-law¡± or his ¡°wife¡¯s dad¡±, what he currently knew was that he had gone bankrupt and was currently hospitalized due to an illness. He had no idea of his appearance and character. Now seemed to be a great time to get to know him better.


    Lu Tao said, ¡°Okay ah. When will you go to see him? I¡¯ll go with you.¡±


    Cheng Jin seemed to be frightened. ¡°Y-You want to go with me?¡±


    ¡°En. Visiting sick elders is a kind of etiquette, right? Besides, he¡¯s also your dad, and I think I have an obligation to take a look.¡±


    Cheng Jin still felt panicked. Lu Tao actually had never met his dad and brother since they got married. Even after he was promoted, his dad and brother took the initiative to invite him to the party, but he directly ignored it, which enraged his dad and brother. Cheng Jin used to defend his lover and felt that he was doing the right thing, although it had also made him a little sad. Only when he later repented did he truly understand Lu Tao¡¯s behavior.


    He loathed his father and brother.


    For others, it¡¯s just an old woman who couldn¡¯t walk. With the advancement of science and technology, as well as the use of self-service wheelchairs, there were almost no hurdles to movement, so it isn¡¯t a huge concern. But for Lu Tao, it was his grandmother who¡¯d been with him throughout his life. When his grandma ended up like that, all the Cheng family had something to do with it. Of course, he would have grudges.


    Now, his amnesiac husband wanted to see his father.


    Cheng Jin felt guilty in his heart, and tried his best to persuade him, ¡°Actually, it doesn¡¯t really matter. My father¡¯s condition has stabilized. On the other hand, it¡¯s better for you to stay at home and rest more. I¡¯ll just go by myself. ¡± He added with a smile, ¡°Mr. Fei Li lent me his new car. It¡¯s very handy if I travel.¡±


    His husband gave a rough stare, as if indifferent to his persuasion, and said coldly, ¡°If you try so hard to stop me from going, it will make me suspect that the person you¡¯re going to see isn¡¯t your dad, but your ex-boyfriend or something.¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s face flushed. ¡°It¡¯s not¡­ And I don¡¯t have any ex-boyfriends¡­¡±


    The lord general followed in pursuit, ¡°Then let me go, too.¡±


    Cheng Jin thought for a while. Thinking that Lu Tao would no longer care so much about this matter after he woke up, he nodded. After obtaining Lu Tao¡¯s consent, he took more than half of the grapes and a jar of nutrients, then went out with his husband. Finally, their garage was no longer empty and a new car, the ice-blue color Cheng Jin loved, was parked in it. It wasn¡¯t the latest model, but it wasn¡¯t cheap either.


    Cheng Jin¡¯s mood was a bit complicated when he saw it.


    He still couldn¡¯t figure out who Lu Tao was going to give it to. He entertained several guests today, but he didn¡¯t notice anyone suspicious. There were rumors floating around about the general before, but after careful investigation, in the end they were all just rumors. Lu Tao might not even know those people who were linked with him.


    After getting in the car, Cheng Jin used the voice input to enter their destination, and the car began driving autonomously. It was the first time that they were actually going somewhere, so Cheng Jin¡¯s mood was only confused at first, and he soon jumped into joy. He even began to introduce the scenery outside the window to his amnesiac husband. ¡°Those are mini spaceships, which can usually carry four people, and they¡¯re like cars. They¡¯re all driven by wind energy, and they also have traffic laws; you can¡¯t park and drive about randomly, and if you do, you¡¯ll pay a very expensive fine. Ah! See that building? That¡¯s the World Trade Center, but it¡¯s not actually the real World Trade Center. The real World Trade Center is on the Trading Planet, which is in the center of the galaxy. I¡¯ve heard that many people do business there. However, because of the limits on access to our planet, it has essentially turned into a shelf, and there aren¡¯t many enterprises that have established in.¡±


    Lu Tao already knew all of this, but he still listened with great interest and even praised, ¡°Little treasure knows a lot.¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s face turned red, and he said shyly, ¡°I a-actually don¡¯t know much la¡­¡± After he was praised, he introduced the surrounding buildings even more vigorously. When the surrounding environment turned more green, Cheng Jin said, ¡°We¡¯re almost at the hospital. ¡±


    As soon as he spoke, a large building appeared in front of him, with the words ¡°Central Hospital¡± written on the signboard. ¡°The environment looks good,¡± said Lu Tao.


    ¡°Yes ah.¡± Cheng Jin suddenly felt a little pressure. ¡°After all, the price is also very expensive.¡±

 CH 16

    The planet was the most suitable place for human habitation because of its large area, good environment, and lack of poisonous insects and wild animals. Moreover, there were no natural disasters here, and the planet¡¯s science and technology were the most developed, so it had become a dream home for mankind. However, the planet had tight security, so it was simply impossible to smuggle in without an access permit.


    The facilities on the Imperial planet were also very complete, and the most famous one would be the hospital. The doctors on the planet were highly skilled and equipped with cutting-edge medical technology, but treatment would be prohibitively expensive without health insurance.


    In actuality, the government¡¯s denial of medical insurance and social security was a veiled expulsion, but the Cheng family had a strong family foundation, so they fought for two years and struggled on the average line, eventually preserving it till now.


    Cheng Jin¡¯s father, Cheng Zheng, got the cheapest bed in the hospital, but even if it was cheap, it was a single room with a nice view. He underwent two surgeries for heart difficulties and other diseases, which required him to stay in the hospital and take a lot of medication on a daily basis.


    Cheng Zheng had just finished his daily routine check-up when Cheng Jin and Lu Tao arrived. The previous affluent man of the planet was now a withered old guy with gray hair and piercing murky eyes. Cheng Jin was his youngest son. He was over forty years old when he was born, and now, in his sixties, he resembled his grandpa more than his father. Cheng Jin¡¯s heart would grieve every time he came to visit him, but he had become wise and wouldn¡¯t exhibit too much emotion on his face. On the contrary, he would do his best to grin so that his father would think he was doing well, thus making him feel at ease.


    He was worried this time though since he was bringing Lu Tao.


    Cheng Jin gently tapped on the door first, and as Cheng Zheng¡¯s gaze met his, he glanced up with a smile and shouted out ¡°Dad,¡± then added, ¡°Lu Tao is here, too,¡± and moved back a little to let the father and son-in-law to meet.


    Cheng Zheng¡¯s face was rigid when he saw his son-in-law, yet there was no objection. Lu Tao¡¯s body instinctively felt aversion when he saw his father-in-law, despite the fact that he apparently had no memories of him.


    Their relationship must have been strained in the past.


    This was the conclusion Lu Tao came to in his thoughts. He realized his little wife was staring at him with worry. He wanted to say hello, but the word ¡°dad¡± was caught in his throat, as if his body was stopping him from articulating it. Cheng Jin appeared to perceive it and quickly responded, ¡°You don¡¯t have to call him dad. You used to address him as Mr. Cheng.¡±


    The expression on the lord general¡¯s face relaxed, and he said quite calmly, ¡°Mr. Cheng.¡±


    Cheng Zheng scrutinized him from head to toe and then stated, ¡°It appears that he has truly lost his memory, since otherwise he would not have come to meet this old guy.¡± He swiftly waived to Cheng Jin and his voice softened. ¡°Darling, come here, let Dad take a good look at you,¡± Cheng Jin raced over, sprang into his father¡¯s arms, held his waist, and coquettishly said, ¡°How¡¯s Dad feeling today? Are you more comfortable?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m alright, but you¡¯re looking a little skinny. Have you been eating well lately?¡± The wrinkled hand stroked Cheng Jin¡¯s face, rubbing it back and forth affectionately. The old man¡¯s eyes shone with rare delight.

    ¡°Yeah, Dad likes to eat too, right? I¡¯ll peel it for you. This one is delicious and very fresh.¡±


    The image of the father¡¯s warmth and his son¡¯s filial piety made Lu Tao feel uneasy. He was jealous whenever Cheng Jin¡¯s grin was not directed at him. It felt weird, as if he¡¯d never felt it before.


    Cheng Zheng ate a grape peeled by his son. When he turned his gaze to Lu Tao, his eyes turned a lot colder. He said, ¡°Sorry, I don¡¯t have tea to entertain guests. If you don¡¯t dislike it, just drink a glass of hot water. Xiao Jin, go and pour your husband a glass of water.¡±


    Cheng Jin didn¡¯t see that there was hot water in the room, so he could only take the cup and take one outside.


    As soon as he left, Lu Tao looked curiously at the old man in front of him. ¡°Is there anything you would like to say to me alone?¡± That¡¯s why he made his son leave on purpose.


    Cheng Zheng smiled, a little desolate. ¡°What can an old father say to his son¡¯s partner? There is no other request other than I hope you can take good care of him.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t think I can help.¡± Lu Tao said calmly, ¡°I briefly inquired about your case. It was a major accident. Besides the money, you weren¡¯t sent to Hell planet also because there were no casualties. You¡¯re very lucky.¡±


    ¡°Is that so?¡± Cheng Zheng¡¯s voice was mixed with an aged tone. He sighed softly and said, ¡°It has passed, and I don¡¯t know how long I can live with this life. I just hope that you can treat Xiao Jin better in the future. He really¡­ loves you very much.¡±


    Lu Tao couldn¡¯t help but feel uncomfortable at this time. ¡°I¡¯ll be good to him,¡± he promised.


    ¡°Not now, but when you regain your memories,¡± Cheng Zheng said quietly, his eyes imploring. He¡¯d lived a good life for the most part, and now he just had his ailing body to bring him down. His main concern now was his youngest kid.


    He couldn¡¯t help but smile bitterly when he didn¡¯t obtain Lu Tao¡¯s response after a brief pause. ¡°Although my request appears to be a little hard on you, that¡¯s fine.¡±


    The two of them remained stale, and only after Cheng Jin poured water back did they break the silence.


    Lu Tao, who was holding the cup, couldn¡¯t understand why he hadn¡¯t nodded before. He wasn¡¯t a moron. He could sense that there was a major issue in his prior marriage with Cheng Jin. It was in his nature to solve problems.


    But for some reason, he didn¡¯t want to find out right now.


    It would seem that once he discovered it out, his relationship with Cheng Jin would change.


    When Cheng Jin went to get the water, he paid a portion of the hospital bills on the way. When he saw the shrinking amount in his account, he couldn¡¯t help but become anxious.


    After they returned, he went to complete his work very seriously. Of course, he didn¡¯t tell Lu Tao that this was a job, and that it was only a hobby.


    The lord general was skeptical. ¡°Is it your hobby to sew women¡¯s dresses?¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s face flushed a little, and he whispered, ¡°Yes, just making a little more money on the way¡­¡± He said in a pleading tone, ¡°I¡¯ll be able to finish it soon, and I¡¯ll accompany you when I¡¯m done, okay, okay?¡±


    ¡°I can give you money if you need it.¡± Lu added, ¡°I should be able to give it to you. I¡¯ve checked my account and the balance is quite large.¡±


    Lu Tao, as a general, would undoubtedly have a huge balance. His military accomplishments were extensive, and he was always rewarded. Furthermore, the Lu family invested in enterprises, which were now managed by his distant relatives. Cheng Jin made a shaky motion with his head. ¡°There¡¯s no need.¡±


    Lu Tao frowned, looking unhappy. ¡°Why not? Aren¡¯t we partners? Partners should be able to open joint accounts.¡±


    ¡°Just¡­ no need. ¡°Cheng Jin refused with difficulty. ¡°I can deal with it myself.¡± He looked at Lu Tao. ¡°Husband, believe me, I can do it. When it¡¯s really difficult for me, I¡¯ll talk to you. For now, let me use my own abilities to solve it, okay?¡±


    He appeared to be too well-behaved, and his face was pitiful. Lu Tao¡¯s heart naturally softened, and he didn¡¯t push any more. He, on the other hand, refused to back down. ¡°I¡¯ll accompany you,¡± he murmured as he sat down next to him, shaking his wrist. ¡°I¡¯m going to look for information here.¡±


    Cheng Jin breathed a sigh of relief. He quipped and said, ¡°Okay.¡±


    Cheng Jin was unaffected by Lu Tao¡¯s presence; he may have a natural talent for needlework. He was getting better each time, and he was also becoming more patient. He was imprisoned in his own universe when he was truly engrossed in his own task.


    He held a lovely garment in his hands and was only completing touches, that is, stitching one blue crystal after another into the hem of its skirt. Ninety-nine crystals were stitched into the hem, and the remainder were used to construct a brooch in the shape of a five-pointed star, which was attached to the chest. The entire outfit would resemble a starry sky in this manner, and if worn on the body, it would emanate brilliant brilliance.


    Cheng Jin sat up straight after stitching the final crystal ore. He had been hunched over for much too long while working. Not only were his eyes a little hurting at this point, but his arms were also a little numb, and there was in discomfort in his lower back. He was about to rub it when a large hand laid first on his waist and pressed it gently. Cheng Jin was taken aback, while a glass of water had been handed in front of him. When he raised his eyes, he saw his handsome husband.


    ¡°You¡¯re extremely dedicated,¡± Lu Tao said, admiring him. ¡°You didn¡¯t even glance up for two hours.¡±


    Cheng Jin reddened, accepted the cup, and thanked him quietly. The water temp in the cup was perfect, and there was clearly nothing in it, yet Cheng Jin believed it tasted a bit sweet. He never imagined he¡¯d be able to acquire Lu Tao¡¯s close ¡°service,¡± let alone praise!


    Unable to restrain himself, Cheng Jin asked, ¡°Have you finished reading the materials?¡±


    ¡°No,¡± Lu Tao said, rubbing his waist and pinching his shoulders. ¡°There is so much material I want to learn that I can¡¯t read everything.¡±


    ¡°Right, you don¡¯t have to rush; after all, when all the toxin in your brain disappear, you¡¯ll be able to remember,¡± stated Cheng Jin, his gaze shook, but Lu Tao didn¡¯t notice. The delight he had just felt was extinguished. Cheng Jin intuitively tried to avoid thinking about what will happen a few months later. In a deceptive fashion, he set down the water cup and raised up the dress. ¡°I¡¯ll double-check it. If there¡¯s no problem, I can bring it tomorrow.¡±


    Cheng Jin raised the garment altogether, stepped up, and shook it in front of Lu Tao, expectantly inquiring, ¡°Isn¡¯t it nice?¡±


    His husband smiled. ¡°It¡¯s very beautiful, and it matches you quite well.¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t wear it.¡± Cheng Jin blushed and examined the sparkling dress. He also liked it very much. ¡°But I particularly like the blue crystal on it since blue is one of my favorite colors, sky blue, sea blue, ice blue, azure blue¡­ I love them all!¡± he said. Then he hung the outfit up again and began measuring. ¡°There¡¯s no issue with the size or amount of crystals; alright, it¡¯s finally done.¡±


    Lu Tao also laughed. ¡°Yes ah, you can finally accompany me.¡±

 CH 17

    When Cheng Jin took a shower, he obediently cleaned himself up again, and also applied a little lubricant. After drying his hair, he walked out in his pajamas. It was autumn, so his pajamas were long-sleeved made out of soft material, with a very cute, wide-eyed rabbit on them.


    Lu Tao, who had bathed before him, was sitting on the bed, watching something on his light screen. Because the sound was turned down so low, Cheng Jin couldn¡¯t hear the contents. He crawled into bed with a rustle and was about to ask his husband what he was looking at when his eyes fell on the screen first, and he was so immediately stimulated by the flesh-colored screen that he choked on his saliva.


    The actors on the screen were doing the most naked piston movements, filmed in HD, capturing almost every trace of it, perhaps even more clearly than the naked eye could see.


    Cheng Jin had never watched nor read these yellow contents even though his father and brother had spoiled him a lot as they were strict in this regard. Before he was 18 years old, the light screen had even been equipped with software that prevented him from watching pornographic infos, so in the past, the little young master¡¯s arrogant behavior was only on ¡°eating and drinking¡±, but he really did not have much contact with the places of entertainment and debauchery, and there was no such places on the surface of the Imperial planet.


    At this time, he had already gone through said debauchery affairs, but seeing such a picture, he still felt extremely ashamed, so he subconsciously covered his eyes.


    Lu Tao laughed, grabbed his hand and whispered to his ear, ¡°Study, study.¡±


    ¡°You, you¡­.¡± Cheng Jin was too ashamed to do so, but his curiosity still prevailed. Finally, he looked at the screen with a red face.


    The film was shot by actors from the Imperial planet. Being an AV or GV actor was a legitimate profession here, but it was a relatively inferior profession, and they would be discriminated against, so most people wouldn¡¯t do it if they weren¡¯t really left with no choice. But in fact, some famous actors were actually very popular in private as well, and no matter if they were male or female, they were all labeled ¡°porn stars¡±, and one of the most famous ones had even married off to a lieutenant general after ¡°retiring from acting¡± and became noble.


    Lu Tao opened a GV film, and from the outsider perspective, he couldn¡¯t tell whether the ¡¯0¡¯ was a new female. The 0 of this film was probably a bit shy. He had a mask on his face that showed only his eyes and his prominent nose and lips, but even if he didn¡¯t fully show his face, it was obvious that he had a superior appearance. He was of better build, but a little more feminine, with pale skin, slender limbs, and would let out a whimpering cry when entered, which made him particularly sultry.


    The 1 was a tall, dark-skinned man with a bald head, who looked particularly brave and muscular, as if he could knock down a bear with one punch. His penis was as big and dark as his body, and it¡¯s visually stimulating when it sinks into the 0¡¯s pink hole. Cheng Jin just watched for a minute, and he already began breathing chaotically. His heart beat faster and faster, and his legs slowly closed together.


    His husband seemed to sense his peculiarity, and his warm palm stroked his lower body and his soft belly, then plunged into his trousers, felt his little Cheng Jin, which was already standing up and trembling, took hold of it in one hand, and began to rub it slowly


    ¡°Hnng¡­¡±


    Cheng Jin was so ashamed that the visual stimulation and touch made his whole body hot and even his womb began to contract and squirm uncontrollably, and slimy water slowly flowed out, moistening the entire intestine. In the film, the 0 was fucked so violently, his ass railed so fiercely, that he finally seemed to find it too much to take, so he cried and begged for mercy, saying things like ¡°no more¡± and ¡°it¡¯s almost broken¡± in a pitiful tone, prompting the man to fuck him even harder.


    ¡°Do you think he¡¯ll break?¡±

    Lu Tao smiled softly, his fingers already rubbing one of his little balls. ¡°Why?¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s ears were fully crimson, but his body was already so eager that he forgot about shame. ¡°Because he appears like, ah¡­ Even though he said no, when the other person tried to leave, he chased after him¡­¡± He suddenly realized that he seemed to be in the same situation before. He wanted to hide several times, but when Lu Tao truly retreated, he desired it once more.


    Cheng Jin realized his husband had asked him this on purpose after noticing the man¡¯s wicked smirk. He was embarrassed and quickly drew the quilt over his hot face. Lu Tao pursued him as he hid behind the covers, and the noises on the light screen came to a halt.


    Cheng Jin¡¯s breathing grew labored as the room fell silent. ¡°What did you think of? Acting so shy,¡± said Lu Tao as he held him in his arms and kissed him on the lips in the dim light.


    ¡°You¡¯re teasing me.¡± Cheng Jin complained in a low voice.


    ¡°How did I tease you?¡±


    Cheng Jin couldn¡¯t answer, so he whispered, ¡°You¡¯re making fun of me.¡±


    ¡°Hmm, what did I tease you about?¡±


    With this feeling of being in the same small space as his husband, he couldn¡¯t help but hook his neck, search for his lips and kiss it.


    The warm, lingering kiss tasted like honey grapes. Although the two men had little experience kissing, they could pinpoint each other¡¯s sensitive spots with pinpoint accuracy. Cheng Jin¡¯s pants were pulled off between the entangled lips and tongues. The man¡¯s fingers contacted his soft entrance and, noting the moisture, chuckled as he carefully pushed his finger in, asking, ¡°Why so wet?¡±


    ¡°Hnggh¡­¡± Cheng Jin licked his Adam¡¯s apple slowly. ¡°Con-convenient for my husband to come in¡­ Ahh¡­ ooh¡­¡­¡± He knew it was only a finger, but he instantly felt great. Cheng Jin could also let go of himself more while hidden in the bed with the not-so-bright lights. While bearing being expanded, he spread his legs wide apart and stroked his husband¡¯s large cock.


    The erected, long and thick penis lay beneath the muscular torso. It was hot, hard, and large in his hands, like a soldering iron. It didn¡¯t lose out on the 1 in the GV film at all. Cheng Jin was aroused by the film he had just viewed, then by the nude piston action, and his rear hole ruthlessly sucked. LLu Tao was taken aback when he recognized his reaction. ¡°So excited? ¡±He pulled out his fingers, opened the quilt a little bit, and showed his two fingers.


    His fingers were smeared with crystal clear liquid, which was different from the milky white lubricant. The lord general chuckled in a low voice and said, ¡°See for yourself. Isn¡¯t it very wet?¡±


    Cheng Jin was so ashamed that he covered his eyes, but he couldn¡¯t control himself from hooking Lu Tao up with his leg, gasping, ¡°I want¡­¡±


    Lu Tao moved and teased him. ¡°What do you want?¡±


    ¡°Want husband¡­¡±


    His little wife flushed crimson, all cute and sensual, and made Lu Tao feel like there was a bunny concealed in his heart, all scratchy and soft. ¡°What do you want your husband to do?¡± he teased further.


    Cheng Jin couldn¡¯t respond because he was so overwhelmed. His lust seared him, making him feel intolerable. He couldn¡¯t help but loop his legs around the man¡¯s waist, then rise his hips and utilize his moist hole to reach the large penis, but Lu Tao grasped his waist before he could.


    ¡°What do you want your husband to do? Name it and husband will give it to you.¡±


    Lu Tao¡¯s features were magnified, but instead of his original indifference, they were gentle and full of laughter, which happened to be Cheng Jin¡¯s favorite appearance. Cheng Jin was so meek that he sobbed, and he twisted his body, yet he still couldn¡¯t reach his favorite thing. In the end, he could only endure the shame and whispered, ¡°I want husband¡­fuck me¡­feed me your cock¡­eat my husband¡¯s big dick¡­Hnn...¡±


    Every remark was tinged with shame, yet it was so enticing that it appeared to melt Lu Tao¡¯s heart. Lu Tao¡¯s breathing was labored, and his lower abdomen felt dry and heated. He couldn¡¯t take it anymore. He sunk gently, pressing his erect penis against his writhing mouth. His massive cock was swallowed in by the walls.


    ¡°Uggh¡­ husband¡­husbandhusbandhnn¡­¡± Cheng Jin screamed at him, leading the general to lose control and nearly feverishly insert his penis into his womb.


    The penis entered Cheng Jin¡¯s body nude, occupied and filled him without the use of condoms or partiff. ¡°Is it alright to fuck you like this?¡± Lu Tao inquired quietly.


    ¡°En¡­ want husband to fuck¡­wuwuu¡­ not enough¡­to fuck into the womb¡­¡± Cheng Jin felt that he had lost his sanity, that¡¯s why he could say such shameful words.


    ¡°Little slut, your womb hasn¡¯t been opened yet, so I can¡¯t fuck in now.¡± Lu Tao¡¯s back sweated profusely, and his entire body was tense.


    Cheng Jin felt aggrieved and embarrassed when his husband deemed him a little slut. ¡°I¡¯m not a little slut¡­¡± he said, but he was much more aroused, and his asshole constricted the man¡¯s dick even tighter.


    ¡°Just a little slut, a little slut who loves to eat his husband¡¯s cock.¡± Lu Tao pulled out his penis and deliberately held Cheng Jin¡¯s butt up so that he could see where the two of them were combined. ¡°Look how tight the bite is, you¡¯re not willing to let go.¡±


    Cheng Jin was caught aback by the direct description. In fact, he had never seen a film of two individuals merging so clearly, yet it was right in front of him right now. He noticed that his anus had been stretched out into a circular hole, sucking his husband¡¯s penis, and that it was so moist that it could only be characterized as obscene.


    ¡°It¡¯s not¡­wuu¡­¡± Cheng Jin was so embarrassed that he didn¡¯t dare to look any farther, instead covering his eyes with the back of his palm. Lu Tao chuckled joyously and thrusted his penis again, this time hard enough to grind his entire gut.


    After much wrangling, the opening to his womb eventually opened. Cheng Jin trembled all over as the tip of the cock was pushed in, unable to stop the saliva that spilled from the corners of his mouth, while his body turned frenzied. His  little dick continued to shake, and he sobbed incessantly. Squeamishly, he called his husband when he felt good.


    Lu Tao also called him, called him a little slut, and called him baby coquettishly. He felt good all over his body, not to mention that he didn¡¯t need to spare any effort. No matter how he fucked, his little wife would only become more flirty and sweeter, sweet enough to make his heart throb.


    He only came once, whereas Cheng Jin had already shot twice and reached apex. His abdomen was slightly swollen, his stomach was completely full, and even his anus was coated with sperm.


    ¡°With all that, it should be easy to conceive, right? ¡°Lu Tao asked happily, rubbing his belly.


    Cheng Jin blushed and shook his head. The intense pleasure made it difficult for him to speak, but he knew in his heart he wouldn¡¯t be pregnant.


    After all, he had taken pills.

 CH 18

    Translator: Abo Dammen


    Lu Tao wanted to visit the military headquarters and had invited Cheng Jin to accompany him, but Cheng Jin declined.


    Cheng Jin drove to ¡®Style¡¯ after Fei Li had picked up Lu Tao and wrapped the outfit he had crafted in one of the gift boxes he had gotten previously.


    Two years ago, he would always carry a great momentum of magnificence and spry whenever he¡¯d visit the store. Many store managers would come out to greet him and invite him inside with smiling faces, all while putting out the latest luxury products for him to choose from.


    In contrast to his current situation, where he had to conceal his face with a hat as he trudged dejectedly along the isolated road.


    Today, though, his luck seemed to be bad.


    As he walked in via the back entrance, he noticed Andy chatting to someone dressed up in an expensive outfit, with a gold watch on his wrist and prominent logos of luxury brands apparent on his clothes and accessories. He had an impatient expression on his face as he spoke to Andy, who had a tentative smile on his face, but before he could cajole the huge customer, he noticed a familiar figure at the end of his eyes. ¡°Young Master Cheng!¡± He called out, almost without time to think.


    Cheng Jin didn¡¯t expect that Andy would call him, and by then it was too late to hide. He had to stop and stand stiffly in place.


    The man was attracted by his gaze. He frowned, then said suspiciously, ¡°Young Master Cheng? Which Young Master Cheng?¡± When he stared at Cheng Jin, his eyebrows narrowed significantly.


    He swiftly crossed the room and took a few steps toward Cheng Jin. When he saw his face clearly, the man sneered and mockingly replied, ¡°I asked which young master Cheng, and it turned out to be this Young Master Cheng ah?¡±


    Cheng Jin couldn¡¯t wait to shrink into the ground crevices after seeing the guy standing in front of him.


    The man scowled when he saw that he hadn¡¯t said anything. ¡°No way, ba? You don¡¯t remember me, do you? I remember you, Young Master Cheng. You were so arrogant and fantastic back then. I only handed Lu Tao a bottle of water, and you bullied me and made my eyes swell. You remember this, right?¡°


    Cheng Jin pursed his lips and said nothing, his shoulders drooping without the least bit of the arrogance he once had.


    ¡°Yo, you don¡¯t even dare to say anything now? What sort of pitiful performance are you putting on? Where did your momentum when you bullied people go? I heard that your family is bankrupt. How? Do you still have money to spend here if you go bankrupt?¡± The young man¡¯s tone was full of ridicule, and he took another step closer to Cheng Jin.


    Cheng Jin trembled all over, took a step back in fright, and whispered, ¡°Not¡­¡±

    He was a student at the Imperial Military Academy as well. He was Lu Tao¡¯s younger brother, and was a lovely ¡®new female¡¯ as well. Cheng Jin became enraged when he witnessed him carrying water and towels to Lu Tao at the time. He silently chastised him for being shameless and waited for the proper opportunity to ¡°chat¡± with him.


    It was never his desire to do so. The guy who had been at his side at the time couldn¡¯t help but punch Lian Wu first, and the move was so quick that Cheng Jin didn¡¯t have time to stop it. But he didn¡¯t feel pity at that moment, and he was even relieved to see that gorgeous face ruined.


    On the planet, Lian Wu¡¯s family background could only be described as average. He didn¡¯t have a title, wasn¡¯t a native, and wasn¡¯t very affluent. His father still sought orders from the Cheng family to survive, so even though he was harassed by Cheng Jin at the time, he didn¡¯t dare to speak out, but he also had to remain away from Lu Tao honestly.


    However, the tables had been turned. His family gained momentum after the Cheng family was punished and declared bankrupt. He married a major general, and he now looked like a wealthy wife.


    Cheng Jin didn¡¯t dare speak; all he wanted was for Lian Wu to leave after embarrassing him for a while. But the young man appeared to hold a lot of anger, and when he ran into him, he naturally had to release his rage. ¡°Do you think it¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t speak? Do you remember what you did to me back then?¡± snarled Lian Wu.


    Cheng Jin whispered, ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­¡±


    For a moment, the young man was taken aback, and he suspected that he had auditory hallucinations. ¡°What did you say?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± Cheng Jin even bowed. ¡°I was wrong about bullying you back then. I¡¯m sorry¡­¡±


    ¡°W!T!F!¡± Lian Wu sneered, looking up at the sky. ¡°Is the day and night upside down today? The Young Master Cheng, who has always been arrogant, actually told me that he was sorry? Hello, Andy, did you hear that clearly?¡±


    Andy had intended to use Cheng Jin as a shield, but when he saw the boy¡¯s pitiful appearance, he felt a little upset. He heard his question. ¡°I heard it clearly. Young Master Cheng did apologize. Master Lian, please calm yourself. Don¡¯t concern yourself arguing with the likes of him. We have a lot of new things in our boutique. I¡¯ll show you and offer you the greatest price.¡± He tried to coax the person away, but Lian Wu was unmoved. ¡°I said I don¡¯t want the stuff you displayed in the store. I want to visit Madam Ruilla. I want to find her and have her customize the outfit for me personally, no matter how much money it costs,¡± he scowled.


    Andy felt bitter. For him, ¡®Madam Ruilla¡¯ was a money-making tool. It was also a stunt that he had cooked up in private, so, of course, he refused to make it public; after all, rare things were priceless. Cheng Jin had no reaction when he heard the name Madam Ruilla, because he didn¡¯t know that he was ¡®Madam Ruilla¡¯ at all.


    ¡°Madam Ruilla can take orders,¡± Andy said with a smile. ¡°As long as you tell me your requirements, I will tell her exactly and accomplish everything for you.¡±


    Lian Wu said, ¡°No, I want to meet her in person; not only do I want her to take my order, but I also want her to take just my orders; after all, the Orange Flower Banquet is crucial, and I don¡¯t want to be overshadowed.¡±


    When Cheng Jin heard the words ¡®Orange Floral Banquet,¡¯ he had a small reaction. The orange flower was the Imperial Planet¡¯s national flower, and  was a flower that could only blossom on this planet. It looked stunning after blooming, with a lovely orange hue. It was not only decorative, but it was also edible.


    The banquet was organized by the planet¡¯s oldest native family, the Houseff¡¯s. Young men and women were allowed to play games at the dinner, and those who won received prizes. The initial objective of this banquet was most likely to establish connections; the game¡¯s success or failure came second. Gradually, there emerged a spirit of competitiveness that compelled individuals to compete.


    An invitation to the Orange Floral Banquet was a source of tremendous pride for ordinary people. After all, those who could attend were either natives, persons of title, or extremely wealthy. Cheng Jin had already participated twice before, but because he was uneducated and incompetent, he didn¡¯t win any of the games. He naturally thought that he lacked interest, so even if he was invited to go, he didn¡¯t.


    He had not received any invites in the two years since the Cheng family went bankrupt.


    Andy continued to try to persuade him. ¡± But, Young Master Lian, Madam Ruilla is really not free, and she is a person of title, so¡­¡± As he spoke, he cast a glance at Cheng Jin and motioned for him to leave first. Cheng Jin breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave when Lian Wu appeared in front of him, staring at the box in his hand and asking, ¡°What are you holding in your arms?¡± ¡±


    Cheng Jin was taken aback for a brief while and unconsciously wanted to flee. ¡°It¡¯s nothing¡­¡±


    Lian Wu couldn¡¯t resist extending his hand to grasp the box. He was about the same height as Cheng Jin, but the former was more vivacious and the latter was more weak. Cheng Jin didn¡¯t dare to fight with him, so Lian Wu¡¯s hand effortlessly snatched the box. Lian Wu scowled and began to dismantle the box. He could easily see what was within with the lighting a piece of blue light.


    Despite the fact that the outfit was not entirely unfurled and just the brooch in the shape of a star was visible, Lian Wu knew it had to be expensive. and he reached out to touch the blue crystal on it. Cheng Jin rushed up to collect the box before he could touch it, saying, ¡°Sorry, this belongs to someone else, Y-Young Master Lian¡­ I-I¡¯ll take it away first¡­¡±


    Lian Wu snatched it and refused to let go, his eyes wide with amazement. ¡°Isn¡¯t this Madam Ruilla¡¯s work?  It must be, right? I¡¯ve examined her works, and they¡¯re all in this style, and even the stitching is extremely similar,¡± he looked suspiciously to Cheng Jin. ¡°You¡¯re so poor now, yet you can still find Madam Ruilla to customize the dress?¡±


    Cheng Jin, who didn¡¯t comprehend what he was saying, instinctively responded, ¡°No, I¡­¡±


    While winking at Cheng Jin, Andy hastily responded, ¡°No, no, this is not Madam Ruilla¡¯s work.¡±


    Cheng Jin wanted to explain that this was his own work, but he quickly closed his mouth because if he was reported as an illegal worker, not only would his financial source be cut off, but he would also trouble Andy.


    ¡°I don¡¯t care whose this is. I¡¯ve taken a liking to this outfit and I want it. Tell me how much it costs,¡± Lian Wu clung to the box.


    Sweat came out from Andy¡¯s forehead. ¡°Young Master Lian, this one is a female model¡­¡±


    Lian Wu frowned and grabbed the clothes. After seeing that it was indeed a women¡¯s dress, he was immediately disappointed. But he quickly became suspicious and stared at Cheng Jin. ¡°Since it¡¯s a woman¡¯s thing, how could it be in your hands?¡±


    ¡°I¡ªI¡­¡± Cheng Jin couldn¡¯t find a reason with his impatience, but Andy remained vigilant and smiled. ¡°Didn¡¯t Young Master Cheng helped someone send the clothes over to modify the size?¡±


    ¡°Yes, yes,¡± Cheng Jin nodded immediately. ¡°Young Master Lian, please return it to me.¡± He didn¡¯t dare to grab it, so he had to plead. Lian Wu sneered harshly, threw the box on the ground, then the dress in, and said, ¡°I will graciously let you go this time.¡±  He turned away and said to Andy, ¡°I will send you the measurements and requirements tomorrow.  You must ask Madam Ruilla to do it for me as soon as possible. To be clear, only my orders are permitted to be made this month, and no orders from others are allowed.¡±


    Seeing that this deity could be sent away, Andy quickly lowered his head and said ¡°Yes yes yes¡±. As soon as he left, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    Cheng Jin had already picked up the box and wiped the dust from beneath it. Andy stared at him aggressively, saying, ¡°What a coincidence ah.  Aren¡¯t you running a bit late? If someone discovers what you¡¯re up to, you¡¯ll be fine, but I¡¯ll be damned.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± Cheng Jin promptly apologized.


    When the two entered the warehouse, Andy calmed down and turned on the brightest light. ¡°Check it for me. If nothing is wrong with it, I¡¯ll deliver it to Miss Qi tomorrow.¡±


    The light illuminated the clothing, making it even more exquisite and stunning. Andy had to admit that he had a lot of admiration for Cheng Jin. After all, it had only been two years since he had been able to accomplish such ¡®pieces¡¯ on his own. He would undoubtedly make an amazing designer in the future. ¡°Miss Qi will undoubtedly be very delighted,¡± he remarked as he examined. ¡°It¡¯s so nicely created, and this blue crystal is also gorgeous. There are no less beads, right?¡±


    Cheng Jin said, ¡°None, all 148 were used. I counted it before using.¡± His eyes widened and his body tensed as he spoke. Andy was also perplexed a moment later. It took him a long time to reach out and touch a patch on the clothing that had suddenly become empty except for a thread. Andy¡¯s voice had gone off the deep end. ¡°Here¡­ Did you lose one?¡±

 CH 19

    Blue crystal ore was not only valuable, but it was also rare because it came from a distant abandoned planet. Some explorers went in search of riches and returned with only a piece of blue crystal ore. One of them handed it over to the government. After appraisal, the crystal ore was of no use except for decorative purposes. The explorer found someone to make it into beads of the same size, totaling less than a thousand, and then sell them for a high price.


    Miss Qi had a total of 148, but now, one had fallen off.


    Cheng Jin and Andy panicked, turning over the spots where they had just encountered Lian Wu, eagerly lying down on the ground searching inch by inch, but they still couldn¡¯t see the bead¡¯s shadow.


    ¡°What do we do?¡± Andy was sweating profusely on his brow. ¡°How can we compensate for the loss of such an important crystal?¡±


    Cheng Jin was also worried; his face grew pale, and he said, ¡°Let¡¯s search for it again, maybe it¡¯s scattered over the roadside.¡± He was ready to go when Andy grabbed his arm and exclaimed, ¡°It¡¯s impossible! We basically checked everywhere for it and didn¡¯t find it, unless you misplaced it and brought it in on purpose to pretend it wasn¡¯t you who lost it.¡±


    Cheng Jin was taken aback and quickly clarified, ¡°No, when I arrived, it was still there; I also checked again, and I have preserved it carefully along the way; it¡¯s unthinkable that it¡¯ll be lost halfway.¡± A startling possibility dawned to him. ¡°Could it be Lian Wu? He just touched this outfit,¡± he speculated.


    In comparison to the young master, who was not as astute, Andy had thought of this a long time before. ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s him, then you go to him and ask?¡± he suggested.


    Cheng Jin was startled once more. ¡°If it¡¯s truly him, he did it on purpose, and even if I ask him, how can he return it?¡± he murmured gently after a long time.


    ¡°Go apologize and beg him, he might be willing to give it back! Besides, if it wasn¡¯t you safeguarding the outfit yourself, he wouldn¡¯t take this chance.¡± Andy clenched his teeth. ¡°If we don¡¯t get it back, Miss Qi, with her entitled personality, will throw a fit, and if it reaches my boss, we¡¯ll both be troubled!¡±


    ¡°Lian Wu would absolutely not return it to me,¡± Cheng Jin replied solemnly. ¡°As for Miss Qi¡­ simply see her and explain. Won¡¯t she understand?¡±


    ¡°Understand? ¡± Andy hissed, ¡°Young Master Cheng, whatever temper you had previously is what Miss Qi has. Will you be understanding if someone misplaces your belongings based on your previous personality?¡± He was probably quite upset, his tone thick with an infernal grump. ¡°I once heard that if your maids make a mistake, you will verbally insult them.¡±


    ¡°I¡­¡± Cheng Jin wanted to clarify that, while he used to lose his temper, he never verbally abused them; the words were on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn¡¯t utter them.

    According to the news, there were 891 beads, one of which was kept by the explorer himself, and a total of 890 beads were sold at auction.


    In response to his brother¡¯s protest, the older brother smiled compassionately, patted his head, and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I arrived late, so I just bought these back. When we meet again later, I¡¯ll bring it all back to you, okay?¡±


    That box of beads was Cheng Jin¡¯s treasure. Even when he was in dire straits, it was the last thing he took out to sell, because his father had to have a second operation, and he needed to have a lot of money.


    Andy didn¡¯t understand. ¡°What?¡±


    Cheng Jin whispered, ¡°I used to have a box of these beads.¡±


    He understood now. Andy¡¯s eyes glowed. ¡°Where is it now? Has it been sold? Can you still find the buyer?¡±


    ¡°I have to ask¡­¡± Cheng Jin actually wasn¡¯t sure. ¡°I-I¡¯ll ask first. If I can¡¯t find it, I¡¯ll go apologize to Lian Wu. I hope he can return the beads to me. If he doesn¡¯t admit it, I will apologize to Miss Qi¡­¡±


    Andy was relieved to see that he was taking all the blame on himself, but he was also a little embarrassed, which he immediately concealed. ¡°Go ahead,¡± he said. ¡°You¡¯d better be able to get one exactly like it,¡± he said, adding, ¡°and if you don¡¯t have enough money, you may ask me for a salary advance.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    Cheng Jin was still hesitant to seek for the location where he had the last disagreement after leaving the back door. The route was secluded, with few people passing through and little to no debris on the road.


    Even if the beads were small, they would be hard to overlook here. Despite the fact that Cheng Jin was previously aware of the outcome, he couldn¡¯t help but be upset. He pursed his lips, dashed back to the car, opened the address book, located and phoned his brother¡¯s phone number.


    No one responded.


    Rather than attempt again, Cheng Jin started the car and headed toward the factory.


    There were also a lot of factories on the Imperial Planet, but they were mostly clean, like food factories. All toxic industries have been relocated to the neighboring planet.


    Those who worked at the factory were considered the ¡®bottom-rung¡¯ of the Imperial Planet, as were those who were cruising in the center of the expulsion line. Their pay was modest. To keep the credit line in their account balanced, they usually take the initiative to request an extension of working hours and strive to cut back on spending.


    In fact, Cheng Jin¡¯s first thought after learning of the problem at home was to come here to work. He lacked both education and skills. He wouldn¡¯t be eligible for high-paying employment, and he was aware that his older brother was also present, so he sought companionship.


    But because his ¡®Madam General¡¯ status barred him from working there, he was forced to work illegally in the end.


    Cheng Xu¡¯s circumstance, on the other hand, was unique. He did, in fact, have a strong educational background. With his abilities, he could easily enter a huge corporation as an executive, but because he was a person deprived of rights and interests, an unseen ¡°deportee,¡± there were numerous constraints on the job he could perform, and in the end, he could only come here.


    Cheng Jin was so distressed when he came to visit his brother for the first time and found that he was no longer dressed in nice clothing, but in an ordinary and somewhat unsightly work uniform, that he sobbed his heart out.


    Cheng Xu tried his hardest and coaxed him for a long time, but in the end, he sobbed ¡¯till he hiccuped and wept for two hours before eventually calming down. He then told his brother, ¡°With your skills, you can absolutely create a career again on another planet; you don¡¯t need to suffer here.¡±


    When he heard his sentiments, his older brother quietly smiled, caressed his hair, and said, ¡°What about Dad? He has to stay here for treatment right now.¡±


    Cheng Jin clenched his fist and said, ¡°I-I¡¯ll look after Dad!¡±


    Cheng Xu didn¡¯t disclose his innocence; instead, he just stated, ¡°You and Dad are here, so what¡¯s the point of me going alone?¡±


    Cheng Jin wanted to cry once more. ¡°But you¡¯ve been working too hard here, your shifts are so long, and all you¡¯re doing is operating the machines; it wouldn¡¯t matter if someone else-¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t find it hard. ¡± His older brother smiled very softly. ¡°The working hours are just right. I used to find time to exercise, but now I just exercise as I work. Xiao Jin, come and touch my arm, are my muscles much stronger?¡±


    Cheng Jin quickly noticed his hand when he saw his brother¡¯s outstretched arm. His older brother used to be a man of riches and prestige. He was in his late thirties, but he was well-groomed, and his palms were broad but not coarse. Now, calluses have grown on them, and there were even cracks.


    Cheng Jin attempted everything he could to encourage his older brother to leave, but it was only later that he realized how naive he had been. His father¡¯s surgical costs were enormous, and he couldn¡¯t pay them, let alone the regular recuperating costs. He knew his gege was trustworthy, so he requested him to sell all his stuff he had later taken out, and he did not lose any more money.


    The box of blue crystal beads had been sold by his brother.


    Cheng Jin drove up to the factory gate and phoned his brother¡¯s communicator once again, but received no response. He had no choice but to walk to the guard. When he mentioned the person he was searching for, the guard said, ¡°Cheng Xu? He¡¯s gone.¡±


    ¡°Gone?¡±


    Cheng Jin was taken aback; he had not expected this outcome at all. ¡°Why did he quit his job?¡±


    ¡°Maybe he finally got tired of it and is going to live on another planet. You know, it¡¯s good not to stay here. You¡¯re lower-class here, but middle-class on another planet. If it hadn¡¯t been for my old man¡¯s old age, he¡¯d have a government pension after another year of work. I also don¡¯t want to be here anymore,¡± said the guard.


    Cheng Jin paid no attention to the long-winded chit-chatter from behind him. He turned around and went away. His sole notion was ¡°impossible.¡± His brother would never leave the planet without uttering a single word. He must have obtained another job and gone to work somewhere else.


    Could it be another factory?


    There weren¡¯t many factories developed nearby. Cheng Jin had completed asking around but had still not found his brother¡¯s location. Other factories¡¯ addresses were far away, and he couldn¡¯t locate them for quite some time.


    Cheng Jin had already begun to feel uneasy when the communicator on his wrist rang. Cheng Jin¡¯s eyes brightened up as he saw the caller¡¯s name, and he swiftly pressed to respond.


    The communicator was linked to the light screen. Cheng Jin was on the edge of tears when he spotted his brother¡¯s familiar face. ¡°Ge, where have you been? Why can¡¯t I find you?¡±


    The only thing in Cheng Xu¡¯s backdrop was a wall. His features were the same as before, although they were a little less angular and more elegant. ¡°I changed jobs and I¡¯m just at work, so the communicator needs to be switched off,¡± he explained. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, baobei?¡±


    Cheng Jin breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked, ¡°Ge, do you remember the blue crystal beads I asked you to sell? To whom did you sell them?¡±

    ¡¾The author has something to say:¡¿

    Cheng Xu was already 40 years old, but thanks to meticulous management, he appeared to be in his mid-twenties.  In contrast to the charming Cheng Jin, his look was modest, as exquisite, as clear jade, and noteworthy. He appeared to be a gentleman at first impression. When the Cheng family wasn¡¯t bankrupt, he was in charge of most of the transactions, so while he appeared friendly, he was actually rather ruthless.


    He was a bachelor. Cheng Jin observed that he had been in love and intimate with various ladies multiple times that he believed he¡¯d have a sister-in-law, but in the end it would always be left unresolved.


    Cheng Jin, on the other hand, had never taken such a thing to heart. After all, his brother was his, and he would be jealous if he spoilt someone else. When he later got more mature, he regretted that his brother was alone and had no one to keep him company.


    Cheng Xu panicked briefly when he heard his question, but quickly returned to his friendly grin. ¡°Why are you now asking about that bead?¡±


    ¡°I-I have an urgent need for one, and I need one right now. Ge, do you know who the buyer is? I-I intend to buy one back from them.¡±


    He felt like crying as he spoke. When he faced his closest brother, he used all of his strength, and his eyes turned a bit reddish.


    ¡°Sweet treasure, don¡¯t worry, I will help you get one back, is it urgent? Can I give it to you tomorrow?¡± Cheng Xu softly asked.


    When Cheng Jin heard this, he collapsed to the ground, nodded frantically, and muttered, ¡°Yes, yes, yes, you can. Tomorrow is possible.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s great, don¡¯t cry ah, don¡¯t worry, I will surely deliver it to you tomorrow,¡± Cheng Xu said with a smile. He paused before asking, ¡°Would it be convenient for me to come over?¡±


    ¡°Convenient! Of course it¡¯s convenient! ¡°Cheng Jin hastily nodded, then beamed through the tears. ¡°We haven¡¯t seen each other for a long time, either. Come tomorrow and I¡¯ll cook something delicious for you.¡± He paused before he thought of something. ¡°Ge, what are you doing now? Where did you go? Aren¡¯t you tired ah?¡±


    He hastily considered the bead¡¯s worth again and said in a panic, ¡°And is it really so easy getting it back? Your credit is definitely not enough, right? I¡¯ll transfer mine to you.

    Cheng Jin was no longer the Cheng Jin of before. Cheng Jin used to believe anything his brother said, but now he understood it wasn¡¯t that simple. His brother, though very capable, was a disenfranchised citizen unable to find a decent, legitimate well-paying job on the planet, and he had to bear more of their father¡¯s medical expenses, so he must¡¯ve struggled so hard.

    ¡°Okay.¡±


    After hanging up, Cheng Jin felt that his behavior was too impulsive. He shouldn¡¯t embarrass his brother just to save his own face. If he was at a loss for options, this should be his plan b. After all, he knew his brother would bear any hardship for him, and he didn¡¯t want his brother to suffer for him.


    If his brother could lose his dignity for his father and himself, why couldn¡¯t he?


    ¡°Even if Lian Wu took it away, he would definitely not give  it back.¡± And how could he be so judgmental when he has yet to try?


    He just knew that Lian Wu would only humiliate him, so he avoided it on purpose.


    Thinking of this, Cheng Jin clenched his fist, bit his lip, and then made a decision. He pedaled the car effectively, and while driving, he texted Andy: What is Young Master Lian Wu¡¯s address? I¡¯m going to apologize.


    Young masters, ladies, and gents who frequently purchase luxury items would normally ask the store clerks to transport their purchases back home, and Andy, as the store manager, must be knowledgeable with Lian Wu¡¯s address.


    Sure enough, it didn¡¯t take long for Andy to provide the address, along with Lian Wu¡¯s communicator access code.


    Cheng Jin was still weak-willed at the core of his being when he received that string of words. He had kept a strategic distance from his former posse since his downfall. Of course, he didn¡¯t have to do so because people would naturally forget him. At most, certain people who enjoy adding salt to an already festering injury would purposefully ask: I heard that your partner¡¯s status isn¡¯t very high? Why else would he not save your family?


    Cheng Jin never dared to respond when confronted with such sneers. Lu Tao  was still a regular military academy graduate when he married him. Because of Lu Tao¡¯s wishes, they did not hold a wedding, and Cheng Jin¡¯s father and brother deliberately snubbed this ¡°son-in-law¡± and never talked about him.


    Even those who had a good relationship with Cheng Jin at the time had no idea who his husband was. And he used to pursue Lu Tao in a high-profile manner, but was later covered up by his other deeds.


    Cheng Jin did not mention his husband for fear of angering Lu Tao, but he¡¯d occasionally create a fake ¡°my husband loves me very much¡± illusion.


    After his downfall, he couldn¡¯t to lu Tao in front of others. After everything from then on, his basic social contacts had been cut off.


    He was frightened of his history being brought up, and he was even more afraid of confronting those he had bullied in the past, for after all, those who were previously inferior to him were now leading a happy life, while he was trapped in the quicksand, drawing out the days of his puny existence.


    Once the general awakens and divorces him, he would depart this realm forever.


    He¡¯d lived in two different hierarchies since then. Others could live in magnificence for a lifetime, but he would forever, never change his fortune.


    Cheng Jin suddenly felt that this might be retribution for him.


    The young master of the past didn¡¯t know how to be understanding. He didn¡¯t know how many times he threatened people previously, saying, ¡°Cause your family¡¯s bankruptcy and get your family out of the Imperial Planet.¡± Ironically, he¡¯s now the one facing his threat.


    He drove to the home where Lian Wu and his husband lived. Imperial Planet was huge but sparsely inhabited, so soldiers received excellent material perks. Lian Wu and his husband were already major generals when they married, thus the assigned house was excellent in terms of both area and geographical location.


    Unlike Cheng Jin and Lu Tao, both of them were ordinary people when they got married, and the allocated house depended on the Cheng family¡¯s connections. The geographical location was good, and the area wasn¡¯t large. The back had been upgraded and looked no more luxurious than the house in front of it. Actually, as a general, Lu Tao could also apply for high-profile real estate, but he didn¡¯t use this right.


    Cheng Jin was nervous as he looked at the home in front of him, but he still dialed Lian Wu¡¯s communicator. After a short while, Lian Wu answered the communicator, and the moment he saw his figure, Cheng Jin¡¯s breath became erratic, and a sense of shame swept over him, rendering him almost speechless.


    Lian Wu burst out laughing, as if he¡¯d witnessed something interesting. ¡° Young Master Cheng? It¡¯s really rare, ah. What are you looking for me for?¡±


    Cheng Jin mustered up his courage, but his momentum remained lackluster. ¡°Young Master Lian, I-I want to ask you something. When looking at the dress today, di-did you take away a bead by accident? They¡¯re blue, very beautiful crystal beads.¡±


    ¡°Taken by accident?¡± The smile under Lian Wu¡¯s eyes slowly dissipated and turned into a sullen expression. ¡°What do you mean? Are you trying to say I stole one of your beads?¡±


    Cheng Jin was surprised and hastily stammered, ¡°I-I didn¡¯t mean that¡­¡± He wasn¡¯t particularly bright, and he knew his choice of words weren¡¯t proper when he said them, but he said them in the heat of the moment.


    ¡°Then what do you mean? You think I stole something, so you came to my door to denounce me for my crimes?¡± Lian Wu snarled. ¡°Do you still think your Cheng family is the same as the Cheng family of the past? So unbridled!¡±


    ¡°I-I¡¯m not¡­¡± Cheng Jin¡¯s face turned pale, and he suddenly regretted his impulsiveness.


    He was so useless. Even though he worked his hardest, it seemed as if he was always going in the wrong direction.


    Lian Wu scoffed a couple times, but suddenly his smile turned to pleasure. When the camera turned around, there were two blue beads exuding a bright blue light lying in his hand, exactly identical to Miss Qi¡¯s. Lian Wu quipped, ¡°Beads? Well, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t have them, but I didn¡¯t steal them from you. After all, these aren¡¯t rare.¡±


    Cheng Jin was surprised. He may have doubted him if he only had one, but he clearly held two in his palm¡­ Cheng Jin had to apologize, hard. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry, I spoke improperly. I didn¡¯t say you stole from me. Young Master Lian, it¡¯s my fault, it¡¯s my fault. I-I urgently need it now. Is it possible for you to sell me one?¡±


    Lian Wu said, ¡°Come in.¡± He turned off the communicator after inviting him.


    Before long, the locked gate automatically opened. Cheng Jin hesitated for a moment, then resolutely went in.


    The house was spacious, but the inside decorations were not in the normal high-tech design, but rather in a highly luxury fashion. At first look, all of the decorations appeared to be incredibly costly. Thick carpets covered the floor, and numerous ornaments hung on the walls.


    The most of them were shiny items, with one or two exceptions. When Cheng Jin stared at them, he felt a bit familiar.


    It looked like the same items he had previously sold.


    He was about to take a closer look when he heard Lian Wu¡¯s voice from behind him say, ¡°What? You see something nice and want to touch it? ¡°What? You see something nice and you want to touch it? I¡¯m telling you, you¡¯re not in the position now that you could get everything you want.¡±


    Cheng Jin shook all over, immediately withdrawn his hand, flusteredly turned to face Lian Wu, shaking his head. ¡°I-I didn¡¯t want to touch¡­¡±


    Lian Wu chuckled mockingly and sat down on the plush sofa, without inviting Cheng Jin to join him. He lifted his chin and placed a blue bead on the table. ¡°Want it?¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s eyes was pulled to the bead immediately, and he nodded energetically, then got ashamed because he of his impoverished state. ¡°I only have a balance of 100,000 credits in my account, and I¡¯ll give it all for you. Can you sell it to me?¡±


    ¡°100,000? ¡°Lian Wu sneered, ¡°Say, you don¡¯t know the price of this kind of bead, do you?¡±


    Cheng Jin was stunned. He remembered that when he sold it, it was 50,000, because his brother transferred the balance of 15 million to him at that time.


    Lian Wu maintained his sneer. ¡°This batch of beads was 50,000 at the start of the auction; after so many years, they¡¯ve changed hands so many times, and the price has now climbed tenfold; what¡¯s the point of your 100,000?¡±


    Cheng Jin was terrified. Before, the young master had no concept of money. After all, he could afford all he wanted. Later, when he ran out of money, he discovered how hard it was to make money, and he learned to be frugal on his own. ¡°T-Then, how much does it cost?¡± stuttered Cheng Jin.


    ¡°I¡¯m not short of money,¡± Lian Wu chuckled, ¡°so I¡¯ll give you the beads, but you have to be my servant for a day at the Orange Floral Banquet.¡±


    He projected a victorious and cheerful smile. ¡°Everyone knew who Young Master Cheng was. Haven¡¯t you been to the Orange Floral banquet before? Isn¡¯t it true that most people recognize your appearance? If you go be a servant for me, I will certainly have a very enjoyable day, which is far better than wearing any priceless expensive clothes.¡±

 CH 21

    Translator: Abo Dammen


    On the Imperial Planet, a servant was an extremely inferior position. It was merely a label, not a profession.


    In truth, the planet had strict job and occupation rules that defined what types of work were protected by law. There were caretakers, housekeepers, cooks, gardeners, and so on in the service business, but no ¡®servants.¡¯ The word ¡®servant¡¯ connoted an insult.


    In principle, he would be appointed only when he requested something from others. Although the law does not precisely control such personal agreements, there is a time limit that should not be exceeded; it should not be more than three days.


    Cheng Jin heard his conditions. He was completely stunned, and for a while he lost his voice. ¡°Servant?¡±


    Lian Wu smiled joyfully. ¡°Yes, a servant!¡± He raised an eyebrow. ¡°You don¡¯t want to, ah? It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t want to. Then you can go back and reconsider whether you can get a blue crystal bead someplace else. However, I¡¯ll have to remind you that the 100,000 credit is far from sufficient. This bead is today considered precious and marketable, and the majority of them came from private collections. Except for me who¡¯s willing to give up my treasure, others may not be so willing to care about you.¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s achilles heel had been struck by his remarks.


    Despite his brother¡¯s guarantee to give him one the next day, where could he obtain one now that he lacked both money and power? His brother had never denied his wishes since he was a kid. It must¡¯ve been hard for him to refuse, so he agreed, but secretly, he didn¡¯t know what the price to pay would be.


    It¡¯s just a day, just one day of making a fool of yourself in front of people you were familiar and unfamiliar with. What¡¯s the big deal?


    Thinking of this, Cheng Jin¡¯s eyes became firm, and he said, ¡°I promise you!¡± He looked at Lian Wu. ¡°I promise to be your servant for the day and serve you at the Orange Floral Banquet. Can you give the bead to me now?¡±


    Lian Wu was surprised to hear him agree without hesitation. He had intended to taunt the young master. After all, the impression that he had been bullied was too strong and made him furious, so he needed to vent, but he didn¡¯t expect him to follow through on his word. He rubbed his chin. ¡°Didn¡¯t they say your spouse is of great status? Is that a rumor? Or did Young Master Cheng spread that rumor on his own when in fact, no one dares to marry you?¡±


    Cheng Jin kept his mouth shut and didn¡¯t say anything. He once wanted to reveal to the world that Lu Tao was his husband, but after learning of Lu Tao¡¯s animosity, he sought to repress such feelings, thus only a few people knew about their connection, and they could only find out their marital status by checking his paperwork. However, this was a matter of personal privacy, and only authorized employees could probe.


    He didn¡¯t say anything, so Lian Wu accepted it as the truth. ¡°Well then, you should remember the date of the Orange Floral Banquet,¡± he mockingly flung the bead across. ¡°Come to me when the time comes, and I will arrange special clothing for you.¡±


    Cheng Jin flusteredly caught the bead, thanked him, and just awkwardly walked out of the house.

    Cheng Jin immediately raised his hand and showed the small bead at his fingertips. ¡°I-I found it, ge. You don¡¯t have to ask others.¡±


    Cheng Xu stared at the bead for a moment, then asked, ¡°How did you suddenly find it again?¡±


    ¡°You know that I¡¯ve always been very careless. There was a corner I didn¡¯t look at, and when I went back to search for it, it had fallen exactly there. I got it back.¡± Cheng Jin kept a straight face as he lied. He had a quick-witted expression on his face, but there was also a note of tension in it. He was scared that his older brother would see his flaw, and he was planning to reinforce it. Who knew Cheng Xu hadn¡¯t spotted it. ¡°Good thing it¡¯s found.¡±


    Cheng Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and after putting away the bead, he asked, ¡°Ge, will you come visit tomorrow? I haven¡¯t seen you for a long time. Will you pay me a visit? O-Or I can come and see you.¡± Following the Cheng family¡¯s accident, the brothers met less often; after all, they weren¡¯t economically well-off, and the time was not so free.


    After a pause, Cheng Xu said, ¡°I¡¯ll go and see you tomorrow morning.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s good ah that¡¯s good ah, I¡¯ll wait for you to come!¡±


    Seeing his cheerful smile, Cheng Xu could not help but chuckle and asked again, ¡°Is there anything you want to eat? I can buy it for you.¡±


    Cheng used to ask everything from his older brother, who was the most important person in the world to him and the closest to him before Lu Tao came along. He spent more time acting coquettish to his older brother than his parents. But now, he was sensible and knew that it wasn¡¯t easy for his brother to make money, so he quickly shook his head. ¡°No need, no need, I have everything, you don¡¯t need to buy. Just bring yourself here.¡±


    Cheng Xu looked at his sensible brother, but instead he gently sighed, and said softly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, gege is useless.¡±


    ¡°No, you¡¯re not!¡± Cheng Jin felt sour in his heart. He resisted the urge to cry and said forcefully, ¡°My ge is the best gege in the world! The best! Invincible!¡±


    Cheng Xu laughed, a little indulgent in his smile, and suddenly asked, ¡°I heard that Lu Tao has lost his memory. How is he¡­treating you right now?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s pretty good, it¡¯s so good that I¡¯m a bit unaccustomed. ¡°Cheng Jin¡¯s tone was a little lower, ¡°But it¡¯s not real.¡±


    In fact, the two brothers seldom talked about Lu Tao. Cheng Xu had a bad opinion of Lu Tao, because he thought his brother-in-law wasn¡¯t good for his brother. But the two basically didn¡¯t see one other more than a few times, nor was there any communication. Cheng Xu said, ¡°I advised you a long time ago, but you didn¡¯t listen to me.¡±


    ¡°I lost my soul at that time.¡± Cheng Jin laughed mockingly at himself. ¡°If you lose it, you can¡¯t find it back. It would be nice to be like ge. You can afford to put it down. You¡¯ve had so many girlfriends, and yet you¡¯ve still broken up in the end.¡±


    He didn¡¯t want to talk about his own affairs, so he changed the subject. ¡°By the way, ge, are you sure you don¡¯t want to get married? It would be nice if you get married and I get a little nephew.¡± When he said this, he got a bit lonely again. With his brother¡¯s previous conditions, there had naturally been a large number of ladies who wanted to marry him, but now no woman on the planet wanted to marry him.


    When he heard what he had said, his brother¡¯s demeanor shifted somewhat. He immediately secretly regretted his mistake and hurriedly said, ¡°I-I just said it casually. Don¡¯t take it to heart, ge. Perhaps your fate will come a little late, I-I¡¯ll go back first.¡±


    Cheng Xu showed a smile, then said, ¡°Okay.¡±


    Cheng Jin was panicking, and he didn¡¯t notice that his brother¡¯s vision was a little erratic in the last few seconds of communication before he cut off the call.


    He went out to deliver the clothes in the morning, but when he returned, it was almost evening. On the way back, Lu Tao encouraged him back twice. It took a lot of effort to mend the clothing. Cheng Jin took the materials for a new order and then returned home.


    Cheng Jin had never been encouraged home by his husband before, and on the journey back, he was very delighted and pleasantly goofy, but when he saw a man whose face was almost black at the door of his house, he felt a little nervous.


    Why did it felt a bit like he was caught cheating in the act?


    Was the sun still hanging in the sky? It obviously had yet to completely set ah, so he wasn¡¯t too late coming back. In the past, his older brother gave him the curfew of ten o¡¯clock in the evening!


    Cheng Jin stepped out of the car under duress. Lu Tao¡¯s eyes were as cold as ice, yet there was anger in them, which was a far cry from his previous coldness and indifference. Cheng Jin approached his husband with caution, guiltily clutching a large amount of materials, and questioned him carefully, ¡°Husband, are you¡­ hungry?¡±


    Lu Tao glared at him and grinded his white teeth. ¡°Where have you been?¡±


    Cheng Jin shook the box in his hand. ¡°I just¡­ Another order came in. The previous one, the beautiful dress last night, had a little accident and needed to be modified, that¡¯s why I came back a little late.¡±


    The lord general did not hesitate to expose him. ¡°Lie!¡±


    Startled, Cheng rhetorically asked, almost subconsciously, ¡°How do you know?¡± As soon as he said it, he realized that he had admitted it. He was so upset that he wanted to crawl under the ground.


    Lu Tao said, ¡°Your eyes like to roam around when you lie.¡±


    Cheng Jin never knew he had such a habit. He freed a hand to touch his eyelids and quickly confessed, ¡°Actually, one of the beads fell off, so it took a long time to find it.¡± Seeing Lu Tao¡¯s distrustful expression, he hurriedly said, ¡°It¡¯s true! This time it¡¯s true! I¡¯m not lying, I¡¯m clean!¡±


    Lu Tao let out a soft snort and reached out his hand to take the box from his arms, easily carrying it inside. Cheng Jin hurriedly followed up, watched as he threw the box to the ¡®studio¡¯, and then went to the bedroom.


    He hurriedly continued to follow, saying softly, ¡°Don¡¯t be angry, I won¡¯t come back late again in the future. Are you hungry, husband? Shall I make you something to eat? Eh, why are you pulling the curtains?¡± Cheng Jin was a little surprised to see his husband¡¯s move to pull the curtains, and his face turned a little red.


    In truth, there was an automated device on the curtain¡¯s side that could only be closed by voice command, but Lu Tao persisted on drawing it manually. Not only that, but he also used his hands to turn off the lights. Because the light was obstructed, Cheng Jin was certain to have some jumbled thoughts, such as last night¡¯s¡­


    No way, ba? It¡¯s obviously still so early.


    Cheng Jin, who was still a little shy about sex, didn¡¯t quite adapt to such a rhythm, but his heart continued to beat. Lu Tao appeared in front of him just as he decided to go to the bathroom to clean up first.


    In the darkness, they could only see their own dim shapes, but Cheng Jin could feel his husband¡¯s stare on him. It was a long time before he finally asked, ¡°W-What¡¯s wrong?¡± Does his husband want to do it with him?


    Cheng Jin reached out his hand and was about to untie the other¡¯s pants, but a beam of light lit up in the darkness.


    A beam of very soft light was radiating from the palm of Lu Tao¡¯s hand, warm and light blue. Cheng Jin looked towards the light source and saw a blue planet.


    The planet was not big enough, and could only be held in one hand, and it was dotted with stars like a patch of starlight. Cheng Jin only took one look and realized that it looked familiar. He was caught off guard for a moment, and whispered, ¡°Luminous pearl?¡±


    Lu Tao¡¯s voice rang out with a bit of fake insouciance. ¡°En. I saw it when I went to my office today. I thought it might be something you¡¯d like, so I brought it back.¡±


    Cheng Jin was once again caught off guard when he heard these remarks.


    This luminous pearl¡­. was clearly the one he had asked his brother to sell before ah!


    Why was it in Lu Tao¡¯s office?

 CH 22

    With his IQ, Cheng Jin couldn¡¯t figure out why the pearl he had sold would reappear in Lu Tao¡¯s office, and it was difficult for him to ask. After all, Lu Tao now had amnesia and might not be able to answer questions. For a moment he was taken aback, Lu Tao felt unsatisfied, his brows were about to wrinkle, and he asked in a deep tone, ¡°Don¡¯t like it?¡±


    Cheng Jin quickly recovered and said, ¡°I like it! I really like it!¡± He took up the bead and put it up to his eyes to examine it closely.


    It was indeeed his old luminous pearl, not just in the same spot as the planetesimals, but with the little, tiny gash from when he had dropped it. He fumbled cautiously, inch by inch, and his mood was a little complicated after repeatedly confirming that it was his own.


    Lu Tao was unaware of his heart¡¯s ups and downs, but he was dissatisfied with his attitude. ¡°Is this the attitude you show when you see something you like?¡± he reached out and gently squeezed my face.


    Cheng Jin was stunned. He hurriedly approached him and tiptoed to kiss him on his lips. ¡°Muah! I like it very much! I really really like it! Thank you, husband!¡± The bead was really his favorite before he had sold it, or he wouldn¡¯t have sold it when he had to, including the box of blue crystal beads in the back. Cheng Jin liked shiny, glowing things. He¡¯d been very dedicated since childhood.


    After being kissed and rubbed by him, the general was barely satisfied. He kneaded his earlobe and said, ¡°didn¡¯t you just say you wanted to make delicious food for me?¡±


    Cheng Jin laughed. ¡°I¡¯ll do it right away.¡± After the light was turned on, he put the pearl back to its original place. tLu Tao was surprised to see the matching effect of the two things, ¡°It seemed as if the bead should be placed here.¡±


    Cheng Jin smiled, unable to explain that he had originally woven it himself to put this bead. He took a few steps out of the room when he suddenly thought of something else. ¡°By the way, my ge is coming to see me tomorrow. Are you going out?¡±


    Lu Tao was puzzled, ¡°Why is your ge coming to see you, and you asked me if I¡¯m going out?¡±


    Cheng Jin reflected that his question was somewhat ambiguous and quickly explained, ¡°I had no meaning. I just thought that if you don¡¯t have to go out, it would be nice to chat together.¡±


    ¡°Not going out.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± At the thought of his brother¡¯s visit,Cheng Jin¡¯s steps became brisk. As he walked, he thought about his brother¡¯s favorite food. By the time he reached the kitchen, he was calmer and a little ashamed.

    His father¡¯s heart attack, for example, was unknown to him, and his brother¡¯s tastes were unknown to him. If he was asked who his brother liked before, he would have thought hard and carefully and said, ¡°He likes me!¡±


    But if he was asked what kind of food his brother liked, what style of dress he liked, what colour he liked, his hobby, and so on, he would be completely at a loss.


    Cheng Jin felt that he was too useless, he had been living under the wings of his father and brother, without them, he was nothing.


    But fortunately, it shouldn¡¯t be too late to repent in this regard!


    Thinking of this, Cheng Jin took advantage of his free time when cooking soup, and dialed his brother¡¯s communicator.


    This time he had to ask what his brother¡¯s favorite food was, and then get ready tomorrow early!


    On the wide bed, two figures were entangled.


    The body that was suppressed underneath was slender and flexible, and the fair skin was covered with marks, some of which were still fresh hickeys, and some were bite marks and hickeys that were already bruised. He was naked all over. Not only was there sweat on his skin, but even his hair was a little wet. His ruddy lips were slightly swollen by sucking, and there were red marks on the end of his narrow eyes. Between his upturned ass, a narrow hole was being stretched to its full extent, and a thick and monstrous giant was constantly advancing.


    The thick penis was already covered with sticky juice, which made their union smoother. As the girth continued to go deeper, the man beneath was pushed down his throat which had let out a moan, but soon his lips were tightly clamped to prevent the moan from spilling.


    The handsome man gave a low laugh, and was about to taunt when the sound of his communicator suddenly burst out, interrupting the rhythm of their sex. The handsome man stopped and grabbed his wrist before Cheng Xu could react. When he saw the face of the caller, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and said with a light tone, ¡°It¡¯s your baby brother again.¡±


    Cheng Xu¡¯s originally misty eyes instantly became clear. He shook off the man¡¯s hand and whispered, ¡°Go out!¡±


    ¡°Not gonna.¡± The man clasped his waist, even pushed his penis deeper, and deliberately rubbed his prostate.


    The pleasure suddenly hit, causing Cheng Xu¡¯s eyes to be covered with another layer of mist. He bit his lip to stifle a groan that wanted to overflow, heard his communicator still ringing, and was about to say the words ¡°Connect call,¡± when the man suddenly leaned close to his ear and lowered his voice in a threatening tone, ¡°If you dare to call him a good boy again, I won¡¯t let you out of bed today!¡± He quickly laughed again, and his tone became tender and affectionate. ¡°Turn on the loudspeaker. I want to listen to your conversation, too.¡±


    Cheng Xu closed his eyes and gave the instruction ¡°Connect call¡±. As soon as the communicator was connected, Cheng Jin¡¯s cheerful voice came over, ¡°Ge!¡±


    Close at hand was a pair of beautiful eyes, which contain both interest and threat. Cheng Xu originally wanted to say ¡®good boy¡¯ but then he changed it, ¡°Xiao Jin, what¡¯s the matter?¡±


    ¡°Ge, aren¡¯t you coming tomorrow? I was thinking of preparing something nice, but I don¡¯t know what you like to eat, so I¡¯m asking you.¡± Cheng Jin¡¯s tone was filled with shame, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, ge. I don¡¯t even know what you like to eat.¡±


    There was undisguised ridicule in the eyes of the handsome man, Cheng Xu ignored him, and still said in a gentle tone, ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯m not a picky eater.¡± There was a hint of hoarseness in his voice that made him sexy. Staring at the nape of his neck, the handsome man couldn¡¯t help but lean in, put out the tip of his tongue and licked a small inch of skin, then took a bite.


    When the severe pain hit, Cheng Xu let out a cry of pain off guard, and his younger brother on the other call quickly noticed it. ¡°Ge, what happened?¡±


    ¡°¡­Nothing. I just stubbed my toe on the leg of the table when I walked.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s too careless, ba. It must hurt, right, ge? Sorry, I must have distracted you¡­¡±


    Cheng Xu heard his brother¡¯s guilty voice, but he felt that it was far away. The man began to tease him, rubbed his swollen, almost broken skin red nipple, and the man¡¯s penis, which had been dormant in his ass, began to rub. It was a hole that was obviously an unsuitable place for sex, but after being violated for quite some time, it had become accustomed to it. When his pleasure spot was poked, his inner wall would gently squeeze and suck. Cheng Xu even felt like screaming when his prostate was repeatedly rubbed.


    ¡°Will hotdogs do? I remember, ge, you seemed to like it before. By the way, by the way, I still have honey grapes here!¡±


    The clear voice of his younger brother sounded in his ears. Cheng Xu felt that his whole person was splitting, trying to pull his normal self out, but he couldn¡¯t do it. He didn¡¯t even dare to speak, fearing that he would cry out as soon as he opened his mouth.


    Fortunately, Cheng Jin sometimes was a chatterbox, and he could talk a lot by himself. When he finished a bunch of words and asked for his own opinion, Cheng Xu finally adjusted and whispered, ¡°Okay.¡± He added, ¡°I still have something to do, I¡¯ll go talk to you tomorrow.¡± ¡±


    ¡°Okay, okay! See you tomorrow, ge.¡±


    ¡°See you tomorrow.¡±


    After cutting off the communicator, Cheng Xu¡¯s whole body relaxed. As if amused, the handsome man leaned over, licked his lips and said with a cheerful smile, ¡°You handled it quite well ah, Xu-ge. But when your precious baby brother asked you what you like to eat, why didn¡¯t you answer honestly?¡±


    Cheng Xu closed his eyes, his wet eyelashes still trembling slightly. The man smiled lowly and said, ¡°You should¡¯ve told him that you don¡¯t like hotdogs. You only like to eat a man¡¯s big hotdog.¡± He pulled out his penis and plunged in again heavily and deeply. This time Cheng Xu was successfully fucked by him that he screamed obscenity. The man smiled triumphantly and said, ¡°See, look how happy your ass is eating now.¡±


    Cheng Xu seemed to finally be unable to help it, and whispered, ¡°Yan Qi, shut up!¡±


    The man named Yan Qi laughed happily, ¡°You¡¯re not the former Cheng Xu. There¡¯s only one way you could do if you want me to shut up.¡± He pulled out his penis, looked at the red hole that had been fucked so badly by himself, his eyes darkened, and turned him over. Cheng Xu had a very good figure. It was definitely a figure that women like. The muscles were tight, but it didn¡¯t appear to be majestic. The physique was just the right kind. His skin as quite pale and smooth, full of elasticity, and his facial features were gentle and refined. No matter where you looked, you couldn¡¯t tell that he was a 40-year-old man.


    The penis under his crotch was also very qualified in size, but the color wasn¡¯t very dark, and it was still a beautiful flesh pink, enough to show that he was a clean man before, and it had never been used much. At this moment, the penis stood tall, its tip was oozing pre-cum, and a few rubbed against the lower abdomen, sketching ambiguous wet marks. Yan Qi held his legs and pressed them down, causing his buttocks to tilt up, revealing the overused red and swollen anus. The huge round-like penis tip rubbed up gently, and thrusted hard, falling right back in.


    ¡°Hhnn..¡± Cheng Xu couldn¡¯t help covering his eyes when an intense pleasure hit. Yan Qi pushed his penis into the depths and felt great enough to send out a deep sigh, laughing, ¡°Your slutty ass feels good, doesn¡¯t it? Aren¡¯t I quite kindhearted? If I fucked you hard just now, your good brother would definitely be surprised to hear of his gege¡¯s, the person he admires the most, moaning gasp, right? So scared that he¡¯d cry? After all, you¡¯ve always been a pillar-like existence in his heart, right? It turns out that his ¡®pillar¡¯ needs to film a GV to pay for your father¡¯s medical bills, and if I hadn¡¯t been kind enough to help you, your good brother might¡¯ve seen you on screenÒ»¡± Before he finished his words, Cheng Xu was finally done listening. He grabbed his neck and kissed him on the lips.


    It was the only way to shut this man up.

    Cheng Jin spent a lot on items ranging from stunning and tasty hotdogs to fresh seafood and green veggies.


    He¡¯d been cooking soup since the morning, but when it started to exude fragrance, the first gues he¡¯d served for was not his brother, but Asher Rigel. He had golden hair, and as he walked in, it appeared as if the sun was shining on top of his head, and there was a particular glimmer in his golden hair that made his face even more beautiful.


    He didn¡¯t come empty-handed. He was actually carrying a very huge box with his not-so-stout arms, which couldn¡¯t have been carried in if the door had been too narrow.


    Cheng Jin was awed and asked, ¡°What have¡­ you brought here, ah?¡±


    ¡°A present,¡± the lovely guy laughed, his voice as light as a spring breeze. ¡°It was a thank-you present from our family.  After all, it was the general who saved my life. My family and I are extremely grateful. They wanted to thank you in person, but I was concerned they¡¯d bother you, so I came alone.¡±


    Cheng Jin was still astounded, staring at the box in front of him that could almost fit himself in, and murmured, ¡°Th-Then you don¡¯t need to bring so many, ah.¡±


    Asher grinned as he looked across at Lu Tao, who was standing nearby. ¡°He mentioned that you enjoy unwrapping presents.¡±


    Cheng Jin reddened when he heard this, and felt that his image was a little tarnished, but he couldn¡¯t blame his husband, so he could only thank him.


    ¡°You folks put in a lot of work¡­¡± Cheng Jin sighed, then hurriedly served the guest. ¡°Please sit down.What would you like to drink? There¡¯s tea and coffee, and I also made some hot cocoa. Would you like a cup? ¡±


    ¡°Hot cocoa, then, and double the sugar, please.¡± With great interest, Asher began to tour their house, occasionally praising them from time to time.


    Little robot Cheng Cheng must¡¯ve spotted the handsome ge since it was gliding faster than usual, and even drifted to a halt in front of Asher, its eyes flashing as it offered the hot cocoa. ¡°Mr. Pretty, drink, please. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Cheng Cheng, and I am my host family¡¯s favorite little robot. I am an excellent cleaner, and I enjoy listening to music as I clean the dust in the rooms. My favorite singer is Tim¡­¡±


    Its chattering certainly did not arouse Asher¡¯s dislike. The beautiful man part wasicularly interested in listening and even chatted with it. ¡°I also like Tim. I like his song ¡°Robot Dancing in a Skirt¡± best. That song is really beautiful.¡±

    Lu Tao wrinkled his eyebrows, clearly unconvinced by his nonsensical comments, and questioned, ¡°You¡¯re saying?¡±


    ¡°Cheng Cheng is the first and final generation of emotional robots ,¡± said Cheng Jin as he tossed a few ingredients into the soup.


    The presence of robots is, in reality, unavoidable. As science and technology advanced, people were able to live more comfortably and for longer periods of time, and when the progress reached a certain point, robots capable of replacing the majority of the human labor force were created. The issue of whether to give robots human emotions had been debated by many parties.


    Some individuals think that robots were simply instruments utilized to replace humans in a variety of tasks. They merely need to do procedural chores and therefore were not required to feel anything. Others argue that only robots with human emotions could better comprehend humans and act in accordance with their hearts. In the end, the latter section of the people triumphed.


    The newly constructed robots joined the human emotional program, and even an inventor devised a ¡°kinship bond,¡± in which robots were programmed with genetic code derived from their owners¡¯ bodies, allowing their emotions to be subtly bonded to their owners.


    When the invention came out, it made the inventor famous for a while. Many wealthy people felt the robots were interesting at the time, so they paid a high price for them.


    ¡°My family also placed an order. At that time, it was me who chose to pick it up, so Cheng Cheng had similar preferences to me.¡± Cheng Jin blushed a little as he said this, ¡°I like you the most, so of course he likes you best, too. When he first saw you, he was more affectionate to you than me, his little master.¡±


    Lu Tao found it interesting. ¡°It turned out to be like this. ¡± He suddenly narrowed his eyes dangerously again. ¡°So, you like handsome men, too?¡±


    Cheng Jin shook his head and waved his hands hurriedly. ¡°This is not like me! I-I only like you.¡±


    The lord general was satisfied, but he asked, ¡°Why is it the final generation? I¡¯ve read a lot of material, and I¡¯ve also roughly studied the evolutionary history of robots, but I haven¡¯t seen this one.¡±


    ¡°Because it was censored in the past, and if you hadn¡¯t lost your memory, you¡¯d know it was a big deal.¡± Cheng Jin was very happy to see Lu Tao listening carefully, so he said in more detail, ¡°I was young at the time, but I heard from my brother that the inventor received 30 orders and produced 30 robots with emotions comparable to their owner¡¯s, and one of them malfunctioned.¡±


    ¡°What malfunction?¡±


    ¡°I heard that one night, the little robot, which was apparently just a small household robot, slaughtered all of its household masters, leaving only the owner who had the same genetic code as him alive.¡±


    Lu Tao¡¯s eyes widened. Cheng Jin said, ¡°It¡¯s scary, isn¡¯t it? When it was reported in the media, it caused a lot of buzz around the planet, and it must¡¯ve been a lot of noise, but I don¡¯t know.¡±


    Cheng Jin felt a little embarrassed as he admitted, ¡°I was so scared that I even guarded against Cheng Cheng for several days, but my brother made it clear to me. He said the killer robot did it because it heard the strong desire in its owner¡¯s heart and was programmed by its emotion. And the reason why its little owner wanted the whole family to die was because of the abuse of his stepmother and the snubbing of his other family members.¡±


    ¡°But the little master later denied that he had any intention of killing his family, only saying that he was really tortured and wanted to run away from home, and he couldn¡¯t understand why the robot did that. After that, the robot was disassembled and analyzed, and the inventor was probably monitored as well. Most of the first 30 orders were returned, and some of the completed robots were destroyed. Cheng Cheng thought he would be finished at that time. He was in a low mood everyday. He obviously wouldn¡¯t cry, but he looked very sad.¡± Cheng Jin felt guilty. ¡°My brother kept it. ¡±


    Lu Tao listened intently and was able to explain his own concerns. ¡°The reason this subject is so severe is because there have been reports that robots may eventually replace people, since their capabilities are so great that even hardworking humans can¡¯t compete in some areas, and with this chance, the opposition¡¯s voice will naturally be louder.¡±


    He added, ¡°After listening to you about this subject, I now understand why the Imperial Planet is curtailing robot development. The previous material I read was lacking, and I thought it was a bit of a sharp turn.¡±


    Cheng Jin had never comprehended or considered something so meaningful. He was happy by the fact that he had assisted Lu Tao in resolving his concerns. He had previously boiled the soup and was simply simmering it on low heat. He scooped some out and handed it to Lu Tao. ¡°Taste it. Is it good?¡±


    As soon as Lu Tao picked it up, Asher¡¯s voice rang out at the kitchen door. ¡°Husband and husband hiding here to enjoy wonderful cuisine and snub one of their guest who specially visited; is it actually that good?¡±


    Cheng Jin was bashful and stammered, ¡°Ju-Just letting my husband have a taste. Mr. Rigel, would you like a bowl as well?¡±


    Ignoring his old partner¡¯s stabbing gaze, Asher grinned cheerfully and replied, ¡°Of course I want a bowl.¡±


    Cheng Jin served him a bowl of soup when the doorbell rang. Assuming it was his brother, he rushed to open the door without even removing his apron. Asher furrowed his eyebrows at his actions and inquired, ¡°Who came? He¡¯s so enthusiastic, is it¡ª¡±


    Lu Tao frowned and said, ¡°His brother.¡±


    Asher smirked. ¡°I was going to guess it¡¯s his brother, too. Hey, old man, what¡¯s with your look? Why do you act like I¡¯m trying to rob you? But having said that, you never mentioned your partner before, and you rarely came back, which made me assume you were at conflict with each other.¡±


    Although he had undoubtedly realized that the way he and Cheng Jin used to get along was not what he had assumed, Lu Tao was nonetheless taken away and questioned gently, ¡°Never mentioned?¡±


    Asher shrugged. ¡°Yeah, I¡¯ve been your partner for three years and I¡¯ve never met Xiao Jin. Isn¡¯t that telling something?¡± He added, ¡°But maybe I¡¯m not worthy. After all, Mr. Mo Si still knows that he¡¯s your husband, and Fei Li knows, too. ¡±


    Lu Tao was obviously more concerned about something else. ¡°Xiao Jin?¡±


    ¡°This isn¡¯t strange.¡± Asher grinned pleasantly, drank the entire bowl of soup, and added, ¡°Let¡¯s go meet your brother-in-law. Speaking of which, we also know each other.¡± He strolled out, his customary soft look returning to his face. Lu Tao followed in his steps.


    The two made their way to the living room. They expected to see Cheng Xu arrive alone, but they were surprised to discover another person accompanying him.


    That man was tall, his height should be more than 1.9 meters, and when he stood, it looked as if a little mountain had been placed in front of him, yet his attractive facial characteristics contrasted with his handsome body form, which was not in any way inferior to Asher¡¯s beauty.


    Asher Rigel was obviously more surprised than he was, and he was taken aback for a moment before saying, ¡°Cousin¡­ Xiao Qi?¡±

    The planet was home to a large number of indigenous families. There was a rumor that there were no humans inhabiting this planet when it was born. After seeing the planet¡¯s beauty, an expedition team decided to migrate. The founding team and their descendants were then dubbed as ¡°natives¡±.


    The natives had several privileges, one of which was that if they bore their surnames and were recognized by their families, they may reside on the Imperial planet for the rest of their lives and enjoy tremendous social benefits. After hundreds of years of evolution, just 10 of these indigenous families remained.


    One of them were the Rigels and the Yans.


    After the Cheng family settled on this planet, they had to deal with the ¡®natives,¡¯ most of whom were Yans.


    Yan Qi was the seventh son of the Yan family¡¯s current patriarch. He and Cheng Jin had nearly grown up together because they were the same age, and their friendship had been fairly nice when they were little. It¡¯s only that as he reached his adolescence, the Chengs and Yans lost communication, and the personalities of Cheng Jin and Yan Qi no longer matched, so they stopped playing together. Cheng Jin hadn¡¯t seen this childhood friend in four-five years.


    He was caught off guard when he saw that the guy accompanying his brother was, in fact, Yan Qi. He hadn¡¯t asked him why he was here, and he was even more bewildered when Asher addressed him as cousin. He couldn¡¯t help but wonder, ¡°Are you really cousins?¡± ¡±


    ¡°Cousin brother, our moms are sisters,¡± Asher remarked with a smile. ¡°Yeah, there was a bit of a sensation back in the day when my aunt, recognized as the most beautiful person on the world, married the rude and ill-mannered Rigels,¡± said Yan Qi as he looked at Cheng Jin mockingly, with a sneer in his tone. ¡°You didn¡¯t even know?¡±


    Yan Qi¡¯s animosity was so visible that Cheng Jin was baffled. ¡°Why should I know? But you, why are you here with my ge?¡±


    Cheng Xu was about to explain when Yan Qi handed Cheng Jin the gift box he was carrying and remarked, ¡°I came to see General Lu on behalf of my older brother.¡± ¡°His brother Yan Yi was also a general, but he didn¡¯t have a close relationship with Lu Tao. He just made a excuse to follow Cheng Xu, but those who didn¡¯t know him wouldn¡¯t be able to expose him.


    Asher clearly didn¡¯t take his earlier inflammatory remarks seriously. ¡°Old bro, let me present this guy to you. This is Yan Qi, my cousin. He¡¯s also a successful and great businessman, and he should now be firmly in the position of the richest man,¡± he remarked with a wee smile.


    ¡°Thank you for making a special trip to visit me,¡± Lu Tao replied cordially as they clasped hands.

    After arranging for the little robot to serve beverages and fruit platters, Cheng Jin could finally spend some time alone with his brother in the kitchen. The brothers used to see each other almost every other day, especially when Cheng Jin¡¯s husband wasn¡¯t home.


    Cheng Jin often visited and stayed with his family, but they started to spend less time together after the bankruptcy. It¡¯d been four months since they¡¯d last seen each other. Cheng Jin had been concerned about his brother, and even though they had frequent video chats, there were some things that couldn¡¯t be seen through the screen.


    Cheng Jin felt relieved now that he could see the real person and pay great attention to him and the clothes he was wearing. ¡°Ge, I¡¯ve been worrying about you. I¡¯m worried that you¡¯re not doing well, that you don¡¯t have enough food or clothes, that you¡¯re exhausting yourself with work. I¡¯m worried that you¡¯ll give up¡­¡± His eyes began to turn red. As he felt the urge to cry, he couldn¡¯t help but jump at his brother for a big hug.


    The hug threw Cheng Xu backwards, and his back smacked the table, causing him to grimace in pain. He almost let out a cry. He hugged his little brother, rubbed his hair and smiled. ¡°Can you rest assured now?¡±


    Cheng Jin cried in his arms, shaking his head while hugging him tightly. ¡°No, I¡¯m still worried. You¡¯ve slimmed down.¡±


    Cheng Jin thought the darkest days were when his family first filed for bankruptcy, because all the family¡¯s belongings had to be sold, and he not only did not dare to attend any party, he was also not invited to many nice events. When he sought his friends for help, he was received with a cold shoulder or ridicule, so he learnt to keep his distance from them. He felt terrible about himself, and it wasn¡¯t until he was looking for his brother and found him working in a factory that he realized the most unfortunate and miserable person in the family wasn¡¯t him, but his brother.


    What a charismatic person his brother used to be? Wherever he went, he was the center of attention, and he was constantly surrounded by the wealthy and powerful. But one day, he fell from the sky and plummeted straight on the rock bottom. His brother must¡¯ve endured much more cold shoulder and ridicule than he had.


    But he didn¡¯t complain. Instead, he tried to solve the problem and overcome the obstacle.


    Since then, Cheng Jin decided to work hard and share his brother¡¯s burden.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine. I¡¯m well. Don¡¯t worry. Don¡¯t cry, don¡¯t cry¡­¡± Cheng Xu gently patted his little brother, who couldn¡¯t stop crying, so he added, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you¡¯d cook for me? I haven¡¯t even had breakfast yet, and I¡¯m starving.¡±


    As soon as he said so, Cheng Jin stopped crying and raised his head from his brother¡¯s chest; the tears on his snow-white face made him look pitiful. He sniffed and said, ¡°I¡¯ll get to it right away, ge. The soup is ready. I¡¯ll go grab some for you.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no hurry, and it¡¯s also a bit impolite. Let¡¯s wait for the others.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not impolite at all. They¡¯ve all had it already.¡± Cheng Jin insisted on serving his brother a bowl of soup while looking at him eagerly. ¡°Try it, and see if the flavor has improved?¡±


    Cheng Xu held the bowl in his hands and chuckled, ¡°It must have improved. It smells so good.¡±


    The compliment made Cheng Jin happy. He began to fry the sausage in the pan, and asked, ¡°Ge, what are you doing for a living now? Still in that factory?¡±


    Cheng Xu paused for a moment and said calmly, ¡°En, I¡¯m at a different factory now.¡±


    ¡°What does it make?¡±


    Cheng Xu¡¯s head was a little fuzzy. He should¡¯ve come up with a good story, but he hadn¡¯t because of the guy who was constantly harassing him. He looked around the room and saw the fish Cheng Jin had just prepped and said, ¡°Processing frozen fish.¡±


    ¡°Huh? Isn¡¯t that very dirty?¡± Cheng Jin was a little distressed.


    Cheng Xu smiled. ¡°It¡¯s all machine-processed. I only need to operate the machine. It¡¯s not dirty.¡±


    Cheng Jin was ingenuous and didn¡¯t notice something was off. Instead, he was relieved. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Then he asked, ¡°How come you came with Yan Qi? Didn¡¯t you use to tell me to not get close to him? You said he was cunning. What were you doing with him then?¡±


    Cheng Xu didn¡¯t change his expression, and said, ¡°I happened to run into him at the door, so we came in together.¡±


    ¡°No wonder.¡± Cheng Jin wasn¡¯t suspicious. ¡°It¡¯s surprising that he¡¯s Asher¡¯s cousin. But they do look kind of alike.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not surprising.¡± Cheng Xu relaxed as the topic shifted. ¡°It¡¯s very common for indigenous people to marry within the family to protect their interests. It¡¯s easier to succeed when united. I remember Yan Chou ¨C Asher Rigel¡¯s mother ¨C had a better match at that time, but she ultimately chose the head of the Rigel family. Many people didn¡¯t know why and joked that their union was like Beauty and the Beast.¡±


    When Cheng Jin heard this description and recalled the other Rigels he¡¯d met, he felt it was fitting and couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°That¡¯s so mean. Maybe they were attracted to each other.¡±


    ¡°Maybe.¡±


    Cheng Jin lowered his voice. ¡°I remember Yan Qi¡¯s parents married within the family, right?¡±


    Cheng Xu¡¯s heart always raced upon hearing this name, especially this year. He gave a soft ¡°En¡± and put down the bowl after finishing the soup, and asked, ¡°Anything I can help with?¡±


    ¡°Nope, ge, you can¡¯t even cook. Just chat with me.¡± His brother seemed like he could do anything but Cheng Jin knew he had one weakness: he was a ¡°kitchen murderer¡±. He didn¡¯t know how to cook at all, and he could render the simplest dish uneatable. When he was twenty years old, he wanted to bake a cake for his little brother. Cheng Jin was really looking forward to it, but a fire ended up raging in the kitchen. If it weren¡¯t for the fire prevention system they had installed, the whole family might¡¯ve been burned to death.


    After the incident, Cheng Xu rarely used the kitchen, and even if he did, he never touched anything.


    Cheng Jin was sad while thinking of this. ¡°Ge, since nobody cooks for you, have you only been having nutritional soups for the past two years?¡±


    Cheng Xu, ¡°Not really.¡±


    Cheng Jin believed he was just trying to comfort him. After all, his brother had to pay for the majority of his father¡¯s medical expenses, and because his job didn¡¯t pay much and he had to save some money, the money he had left was probably just enough to buy nutritional soups. Cheng Jin said, ¡°It must be the case, ge, don¡¯t lie to make me feel better. I know the past two years have been hard for you. I wish you had gotten married. My sister-in-law could probably cook, and would be willing to cook for you.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the picture of a certain tall figure cooking for him appeared in Cheng Xu¡¯s head out of the blue, and he was suddenly irritated. After Cheng Jin fried the hotdog and started steaming the fish, he carefully asked, ¡°Ge, do you want to get married?¡±


    He knew he shouldn¡¯t have asked. With their current circumstances, it would be difficult to find someone willing to marry him. But Cheng Jin¡¯s heart ached every time he thought of his brother being alone. He thought that if his brother wanted to marry, he should work harder, take more orders, and make more money. That way, his brother would be able to marry.


    Cheng Xu was about to respond when the kitchen suddenly dimmed and a tall figure appeared at the door and almost obscured the light. The man said in a lazy tone, ¡°What are you talking about? Getting married?¡± Yan Qi looked at Cheng Xu, with a smile in his eyes and a laid-back tone, asking, ¡°Is there someone Xu-ge would like to marry?¡±

    Cheng Jin thought Yan Qi¡¯s attitude was weird, almost as if it was purposefully aimed at him. He didn¡¯t mind that Yan Qi eavesdropped on his and his brother¡¯s chat, but as the meal began, Yan Qi suddenly remarked, ¡°Speaking of marriage, in fact, Xiao Jin and I were arranged to marry when we were children.¡±


    This one phrase made them all stop eating; even the small robot sensed something was wrong and stopped pampering its master. Cheng Jin was disturbed, not knowing how to respond.


    An arranged marriage when they were kids? How come he didn¡¯t know that! And ¡°Xiao Jin¡±? Even when they used to get along, Yan Qi had never called him that, okay? How could Yan Qi call him that, now that he was married and his husband was right next to him?


    Asher came back to his senses before everyone else at the table, and he smiled slightly. ¡°Was there really such a thing?¡±


    Lu Tao, on the other hand, was staring directly at Cheng Jin¡¯s face, and his tone was sullen. ¡°Was there such a thing?¡±


    Cheng Jin put down his knife and fork and raised his hands. ¡°I don¡¯t know! I don¡¯t know anything about it! Never heard of this before!¡±


    Their gazes returned to Yan Qi¡¯s face. The handsome man smiled and shrugged. ¡°Why do you make it seem like I¡¯m lying?¡± He turned his head and looked harmlessly at the only man beside him who was relatively composed. ¡°Xu ge, you have to vouch for me ¨C was there such a thing?¡±


    Smiley green eyes, carefree tone, and a small passionate flame in his eyes; whenever he looked at Cheng Xu, that flame would erupt, as if to burn him to the ground. Cheng Xu calmly said, ¡°There was.¡±


    The Lord General¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly.


    Cheng Jin was shocked. ¡°Ge, what on earth happened?¡±


    ¡°Your birth dates were close to each other, and one of you was found to be a ¡®new female¡¯, so the two families were just joking at the time. It doesn¡¯t count.¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s tone was light. ¡°Don¡¯t take it seriously.¡±


    Cheng Jin was relieved. ¡°I see. No wonder no one told me before.¡±

    Cheng Jin was so frightened that he backed up to his husband¡¯s side and stammered, ¡°Y-Y-You, stop this nonsense! We have seen each other only a handful of times since we were seventeen. I-I-I don¡¯t know you that well!¡±


    Seeing that his little brother was frightened like this, Cheng Xu frowned at Yan Qi. ¡°Watch yourself.¡±


    ¡°Just kidding.¡± Yan Qi smiled at Lu Tao. ¡°The Lord General wouldn¡¯t mind, right?¡±


    ¡°Of course I would.¡± Lu Tao looked a little cold. ¡°So Young Master Yan should not make this joke again.¡±


    Seeing that his husband defended him and seemed to be jealous, Cheng Jin was pleasantly surprised, and his face turned somewhat red. Finally, it was Asher who smoothed things over. ¡°Come on, let¡¯s eat. We should appreciate Xiao Jin¡¯s efforts. This meal looks delicious.¡±


    ¡°It should be good.¡± Yan Qi smiled and suddenly picked up a piece of red hotdog and put it on Cheng Xu¡¯s plate. ¡°Xu ge, your favorite ¨C big hotdog.¡±


    ¡°Red hotdog¡± was what people on the Imperial planet called this dish. Inside of it was a mixture of meat and starch. It was not strange to call it ¡°big hotdog¡±, so the other people at the table did not mind it. Only Cheng Xu knew that the vile young man next to him meant something else. His face froze for a moment, as if the place that was overused was still being defiled by Yan Qi. Ashamed and annoyed, he did not touch the hotdog and instead ate other dishes.


    But Yan Qi deliberately prodded, ¡°What? Does Xu ge not like it anymore?¡±


    Cheng Xu saw that his brother also looked over and even asked, ¡°Ge, is it because the flavor isn¡¯t good?¡±


    ¡°No, it tastes pretty good.¡± After saying this, he picked up the red hotdog that was fried just right and slowly brought it to his lips and took a bite.


    With such a gentle and talkative person as Asher at the table, there was never an awkward silence during the meal.


    He was very thoughtful and purposely avoided talking about commercial matters, instead focusing on current events, the newest scientific research breakthroughs, etc., and, eventually, space exploration. After the meal, Cheng Jin took out all the honey grapes left over from the gifts he received. After chatting casually for a while, he called his brother to his bedroom and took him straight to the blue luminous pearl.


    Cheng Xu was a little surprised to see this luminous pearl. ¡°How come it¡¯s here?¡±


    Cheng Jin wanted an explanation from his brother. He hurriedly said, ¡°Yeah, my husband brought it back and gave it to me. Ge, didn¡¯t you sell it? How come Lu Tao has it?¡±


    Cheng Xu picked up the pearl, looked at it carefully, and after touching the tiny crack, he confirmed that it was indeed the one that his brother had asked him to sell. ¡°I did sell it at that time. I sold it on the Internet, but I don¡¯t know who the buyer was.¡±


    ¡°Ah¡­¡± Cheng Jin was a little confused. ¡°Then how could it be in his possession?¡± He grabbed his brother¡¯s hand again. ¡°Did the buyer leave any information at that time?¡±


    ¡°No.¡± Cheng Xu shook his head. ¡°If the buyer chooses to buy anonymously, then I can¡¯t access the buyer¡¯s information. A special courier machine was there to receive the pearl.¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s mind was in a whirlwind, and suddenly an idea popped up, causing his eyes to instantly light up. ¡°Could it be, could it be that Lu Tao wanted to help me? So he bought this pearl back?¡±


    Cheng Xu said, ¡°There are many ways for him to help you, and a more direct way is to open a joint account with you, in which case you will be able to use his fortune. But he didn¡¯t do that. He never cared about you in those two years. How likely do you think he was trying to help you?¡±


    The small flame that rose in his heart was instantly doused, and Cheng Jin also felt that his thoughts were too unrealistic. Lu Tao was already divorcing him before he lost his memory, so how could he possibly want to help him? But he was still puzzled. ¡°Then why would he buy this? He usually¡­doesn¡¯t like these things.¡±


    Cheng Xu looked at his little brother¡¯s expression, although he couldn¡¯t bear it, he still said, ¡°Maybe it was a gift for someone.¡±


    Cheng Jin shuddered, as if his heart was being crushed, but soon a glimmer of hope sprang up. ¡°It can¡¯t be. After he lost his memory, no suspicious people came to visit him, and if he had another lover, then how could they never come to visit him¡­¡±


    ¡°Maybe they aren¡¯t on the Imperial planet.¡± Cheng Xu said calmly. ¡°Without a permit, if they are not a resident, they simply can¡¯t come here.¡±


    These words awakened Cheng Jin and exacerbated his anxiety.


    It wasn¡¯t because there wasn¡¯t someone else or that person didn¡¯t show up, but rather they couldn¡¯t show up?


    Come to think of it, maybe this was the most reasonable explanation. Lu Tao was always away on battlefields. Having another lover on another planet would be normal, right?


    But how could he possibly let him find out?


    Cheng Jin refused to believe it. He bit his lip and struggled. ¡°But there is nothing unusual about his communicator¡­ Even if they didn¡¯t show up, they would¡¯ve called¡­¡±


    ¡°With his personality, it wouldn¡¯t be difficult if he wanted to keep his affairs watertight. Perhaps they originally had an agreement that they would temporarily cut contacts when he came back home.¡± Cheng Xu rubbed his brother¡¯s head. Seeing his brother¡¯s withered appearance, he couldn¡¯t bear to analyze this matter further. He could only ask again, ¡°Is he good to you after he lost his memory?¡±


    Cheng Jin blinked his sore eyes and nodded vigorously, ¡°Good¡­very good, better than I can ever imagine¡­.¡±


    ¡°Then cherish these few months.¡± Cheng Xu suddenly lowered his voice. ¡°We¡¯ll leave in a few months.¡±


    Cheng Jin froze. ¡°Leave? Then dad¡¯s illness¡­¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve contacted a doctor and also found a hospital on the sixth planet.¡± Cheng Xu¡¯s voice was soft. ¡°We will depart as soon as dad stabilizes following this operation, which is likely to be near to the time when Lu Tao recovers his memory. When that time arrives, we will leave together.¡±


    It¡¯s not that Cheng Jin had never thought about leaving this place. He had thought about taking the entire burden and letting his older brother leave.


    But when he heard this plan, he still felt an unbearable emotion in his heart that he couldn¡¯t put into words.


    When Cheng Xu saw the look on his face, he knew he couldn¡¯t let go, so he kissed his brother¡¯s forehead and said in a warm voice, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, and don¡¯t be afraid. You have me. Everyone thinks this place is heaven and other planets are like hell, but I have been to those other places. The environment is indeed not as good, but we can have a good life. Sweet boy, I will take good care of you no matter what!¡±


    In this world, the person Cheng Jin relied on the most was not his husband or his father, but his older brother. He would be afraid to leave alone, but leaving with his brother gave him courage.


    ¡°Okay¡­¡± Cheng Jin resisted the urge to cry, but in the end, he still sobbed softly, ¡°Ge, you¡¯re living a hard life, right?¡±


    ¡°No.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m so childish. Yesterday, I-I wanted you to get the blue crystal bead for me, fortunately¡­¡± Cheng Jin once again realized that his brother was not the powerful brother he once was. There were times when he couldn¡¯t do anything and had to back down. The Cheng family would never return to its former glory. ¡°I must have put you in a difficult situation yesterday, I¡¯m sorry, ge, I¡¯m sorry¡­¡±


    Cheng Xu looked at his little brother in his arms, regretful and tender. He said warmly, ¡°No, you don¡¯t need to apologize, I know you have done a great job. For father¡¯s sake, you are even willing to give up the things you love the most and work so hard. I am the one who should apologize. If not for my misjudgment, you are still a carefree young master. It is me¡­¡± he sighed softly. ¡°Blue crystal ore is your favorite, but you had to sew it on someone else¡¯s dress, I¡­ When the time comes, your favorite crystal beads¡­¡± he wanted to say ¡°will be returned to you ¡°, but when he thought of how those beads were ¡°tarnished¡±, his face turned red, and he couldn¡¯t finish those words.

    When the two brothers came out of the bedroom, Yan Qi was telling Asher and Lu Tao stories when he and Cheng Jin were kids.


    ¡°When he was a child, he was as squeamish as a girl, crying at every opportunity, louder than others even when he was obviously the bully. He had a biased older brother who would comfort him with hugs and apologize on his behalf, knowing it was his fault.¡± Yan Qi did not hold back because Cheng Jin was there, nor did he lower his voice even a little.


    Cheng Jin¡¯s face turned red from embarrassment, and he said with little vigor, ¡°I-I didn¡¯t¡­¡±


    ¡°Do you have any idea what you¡¯re talking about, having a biased brother and being so reckless?¡± Yan Qi added, ¡°I was not so lucky. Although I have six older brothers, not one of them indulged me, so I wished at that time that Xu ge was my real brother,¡± he said and looked at Cheng Xu, the corners of his mouth showing a meaningful smile.


    Cheng Jin, who was standing by his brother¡¯s side, didn¡¯t even notice this look in his eyes and only felt aggrieved. ¡°Did you purposely come to reveal my shortcomings today?¡±


    ¡°Tsk.¡± Yan Qi said, ¡°You call this revealing your shortcomings? I haven¡¯t said anything outrageous yet. For example¡­¡± Before he could say anything, Cheng Jin hurriedly walked over and subconsciously tried to cover his mouth. ¡°Don¡¯t say it, don¡¯t say it! Xiao Yan Qi, don¡¯t go too far! I know things back when you were a child, too! You poured chili powder into other people¡¯s coffee, and! When you were 16, 17 years old, you cried when you got rejected after confessing your feelings to someone!¡± Cheng Jin couldn¡¯t care less about anything else than preventing his image from being ruined in front of his husband.


    He used to have a bad image in Lu Tao¡¯s mind, but Lu Tao was now in a state of amnesia, so even if it was only for a few months, he hoped to be seen positively by Lu Tao.


    Yan Qi¡¯s facial expression changed, but Asher smiled with interest. ¡°There was such a thing, huh?¡±


    Cheng Jin said, ¡°Yes, crying pathetically while facing the corner of our house. It was pouring rain that day, and if my brother didn¡¯t tell me to stay away from him, I might have sympathized with him and brought him an umbrella.¡± It had just occurred to Cheng Jin after he finished the revelation that the other party was now the richest man on the Imperial Planet. He craned his neck and chickened out, quickly hiding by his husband¡¯s side and meeting the sunken eyes of Yan Qi. ¡°Xiao Yan Qi, you started it. I-I didn¡¯t mean to tell¡­¡±


    Yan Qi looked at him sinisterly. Suddenly the corners of his mouth revealed a smile, and his tone became tender. ¡°Cheng Jin, do you want to know who I confessed to then?¡±


    Cheng Jin subconsciously wanted to shake his head, but quickly noticed the strangeness in his words, and he suddenly froze for a moment. ¡°Was it someone I knew?¡±


    ¡°Of course. Wanna take a guess?¡±

    While he was still thinking, Cheng Xu suddenly opened his mouth. ¡°Xiao Jin, I¡¯ll leave now.¡±


    Cheng Jin suddenly came back to his senses from recalling the past. He was somewhat surprised, ¡°Ge, you¡¯re leaving now? You won¡¯t spend the night here? Or at least stay for dinner.¡±


    ¡°No, I have work this afternoon.¡± Cheng Xu then looked at Yan Qi. ¡°Yan Qi, could you give me a ride?¡±


    The man met his gaze and slowly showed a smile, his eyes full of smugness. ¡°Sure.¡±


    Cheng Jin saw that he couldn¡¯t make his brother stay, so he said, ¡°Ge, I prepared some things for you to take back.¡± He hurriedly went to bring several boxes out and stuffed them into his brother¡¯s arms. ¡°It¡¯s all for you to eat. Take them with you.¡±


    Cheng Xu opened his mouth but couldn¡¯t refuse it, so he nodded gently. ¡°Ok.¡±


    Asher also wanted to leave, so Cheng Jin and Lu Tao walked them out. Asher drove a car, but Yan Qi flew a small starship of the latest style that was very stylish and eye-catching. Cheng Jin looked at it a few more times enviously, and withdrew his gaze only when the starship had flown away. A somewhat unpleasant voice sounded behind him, ¡°So reluctant for them to leave?¡±


    Cheng Jin did not hear the jealousy in the tone and said with some frustration, ¡°I don¡¯t know when I will see my brother again; of course I don¡¯t want him to leave.¡±


    Lu Tao gazed at him deeply. He grabbed Cheng Jin and brought him inside the house effortlessly, then pressed him against the wall, sullenly came close and stared into his eyes. ¡°I¡¯m talking about Yan Qi.¡±


    Seeing the look in his husband¡¯s eyes, Cheng Jin was a little surprised and couldn¡¯t help smiling. ¡°You think I don¡¯t want Xiao Yan Qi to leave? How is that possible? I used to dislike him the most.¡±


    Lu Tao also knew that his jealousy came from nowhere, but the feeling in his heart could not be contained, and at this moment, hearing the words of his young wife, he felt a bit better, so he asked, ¡°Why?¡±


    ¡°He always thought he had a high IQ, looking at me as if I was a fool. He was often against me and hostile to me for no reason. It would be the strangest thing if I liked him.¡±


    Cheng Jin added, ¡°But I was very surprised that he liked someone and was rejected after confessing his feelings, because I thought he was so arrogant that no one mattered to him. When he asked me just now to guess who turned him down, I couldn¡¯t think of who it would be. Among the group of us who hung out together back then, I was probably the only one who would turn him down.¡±


    Lu Tao saw that his young wife was indeed very confused, and recalled that man¡¯s behaviors just now. He thought of something that was strange but seemed to be the most probable answer. Just when he was hesitant whether to tell Cheng Jin, his young wife had put this matter behind him, and tiptoed up to kiss him on the lips, then said excitedly, ¡°Let¡¯s go unwrap the gifts? ¡±


    Lu Tao then put off the idea of giving his young wife pointers.


    After a week, the number of people who came to visit the Lord General finally decreased. Cheng Jin also got a great number of presents, the most of which were ingredients and sweets. Cheng Jin handpicked some that were easy to chew, threw in a folded blanket he¡¯d woven, and then proposed, ¡°Honey, should we send these to grandma?¡±


    The old lady lived alone in the Cheng family mansion. Because the citizens had good benefits, she had robots to take care of her household chores and community workers who provided services at her house every day, so she didn¡¯t want to live with them in the first place. However, Cheng Jin knew that the reason she did not want to live with them was because she hated him.


    Anyone would have a hard time forgiving the person who made them lose the ability to walk.


    In the first few years, Cheng Jin did not feel that it was his fault. He felt that the delay of a few days might not have affected the outcome of her surgery, and maybe it would have been the same result if the surgery was conducted a few days earlier. But later he realized his mistake and how unreasonable and rude he was at that time. Technology was  indeed advanced, but how would moving with the help of a machine and walking with her own legs be the same?


    He had apologized, but no matter how sincere he was, the old lady responded with harsh words and genuinely hoped that he and Lu Tao would divorce.


    Thinking of this, Cheng Jin was a bit sad.


    Lu Tao asked, ¡°Would you come along?¡±


    Cheng Jin hurriedly shook his head. ¡°I¡¯d just make her feel worse if I go. Forget it¡­¡± He hesitated for a bit, then continued, ¡°I once¡­made a really huge mistake, so grandma doesn¡¯t like me, and she might tell you what happened¡­ And if you hate me too¡­¡±He couldn¡¯t breathe normally after saying this, and he couldn¡¯t continue or even look at Lu Tao¡¯s face.


    But Lu Tao said, ¡°That won¡¯t happen.¡±


    Cheng Jin quickly raised his head.


    The handsome man¡¯s face was gentle, without the usual coldness, which made Cheng Jin somewhat relieved. Lu Tao pinched his cheek and gently laughed. ¡°Doesn¡¯t my baby know that he¡¯s wrong now? I heard them say that you used to be very spoiled, but now you¡¯re really good, as you¡¯re mending your mistakes.¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s heart was flooded with emotions. He had indeed been changing, but if this man hadn¡¯t lost his memory, he would never have seen his changes, or perhaps he would have seen them but was already appalled by him and wouldn¡¯t change his perception.


    As a result, even if he didn¡¯t detest him right now, it was just for a short time.


    Cheng Jin changed the topic, ¡°Do you think these are enough?¡±


    ¡°Should be.¡± Lu Tao rubbed his hair. ¡°You really won¡¯t come with me?¡±


    Cheng Jin shook his head. ¡°No.¡± He added, ¡°Oh by the way, don¡¯t tell grandma I made the blanket, otherwise I¡¯m afraid she won¡¯t accept it. It¡¯s getting cold, and this blanket was made of high quality wool. It¡¯ll keep her warm. She will probably feel more comfortable having it on her lap.¡±


    Lu Tao nodded in response, and did not press him again. However, Cheng Jin became preoccupied at home after Lu Tao left alone.


    He was scared that Lu Tao would learn about their past, expose his lies, and return to how he was before. He couldn¡¯t do anything all day because he was so scared. He should have finished his work, but when he picked up the needle, he even felt that the needle became very heavy. He forced himself to work for a while but couldn¡¯t accomplish anything except poking his index finger with the needle.


    He put the bleeding index finger inside his mouth and sucked on it. The taste of blood filled his mouth, but he was unaware of the pain. Not sure how much time had passed before Cheng Jin came to his senses and decided to use the old way.


    Seduction.


    Even if Lu Tao threw a tantrum after learning the truth, he was only told about what had happened and didn¡¯t experience it himself, so it should be relatively easy to calm him down. Since Lu Tao¡¯s memory loss, the two had been having sex on a regular basis..


    They had had more sex recently than what they used to in a year. There had been several nights when Lu Tao would have wanted Cheng Jin a few more times if Cheng Jin wasn¡¯t completely exhausted. And after the memory loss, Lu Tao¡¯s whole personality had changed. He not only wanted to have sex, but also liked to try new tricks, such as watching porns together.


    Thinking of this, Cheng Jin hurriedly went to clean himself in the bathroom. After washing every part of his body carefully, he went to check underneath the bed while naked, as he remembered that he had put a box of erotic toys he previously bought there.


    He wanted to seduce his husband before as well, so he bought a bunch of erotic toys online. But he didn¡¯t succeed and most of the toys were left there unopened. Cheng Jin pulled out the box, opened it, and his face turned red while looking at the various erotic toys.


    For some of the things he didn¡¯t understand, he learned their use after watching porns. And when he thought of those images, he felt embarrassed, and for a moment didn¡¯t know what to do. When he was going through the toys and trying to pick one, the palm of his hand came across a furry thing, and he picked it up.


    The furry tail was so cute, but the tail end was attached to a huge dildo. Cheng Jin was taken by surprise when he saw the shape of that thing. Just when he was about to throw it away, his husband¡¯s voice came from the door, ¡°What are you doing?¡±


    Startled, Cheng Jin stumbled and subconsciously rolled under the bed and hid.

    Cheng Jin¡¯s bed wasn¡¯t that wide, but when he hid underneath it, the bedsheet was just enough to cover him.


    But it was no use, as Lu Tao saw him.


    And that box of toys was still out there!


    Cheng Jin blushed and wished he could find a hole on the floor to escape. He then realized that he didn¡¯t put on any clothes, but fortunately the little robot cleaned the room quite well and there was no dust on the floor. He shrank under the bed, and soon a hand lifted up the bedsheet. The face that he liked the most came close. Lu Tao couldn¡¯t help smiling and said, ¡°Come out.¡±


    Cheng Jin was too embarrassed to look at him. He buried his head like an ostrich, and murmured, ¡°He can¡¯t see me. He can¡¯t see me¡­¡±


    He had been like this since he was a child. When he was shy or made a mistake, he would brainwash himself with ¡°it wasn¡¯t me¡±. His father and older brother thought it was adorable, so instead of correcting him, they indulged him.


    But, it was indeed very adorable.


    Lu Tao saw his little wife like this, and felt that his heart was going to melt away. However, he put up a stern face and said in a low voice, ¡°Come out!¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s body shuddered. He was very reluctant, but upon hearing his husband¡¯s angry tone, he didn¡¯t attempt to defy him, so he pulled his body sheepishly and slowly out from beneath the covers. Once out, he saw the box full of toys, and the dildo was in plain sight. His ears flushed, and he frantically attempted to slide the box back under the bed, but he couldn¡¯t get it to move.


    His husband grabbed the other side of the box and pinched his neck with the other hand, while moving closer towards him and whispering, ¡°What? Did I not satisfy you? Once I¡¯m not home, you want to play with yourself?¡±


    Jtfcu Alc ogbhf obg j wbwfca, atfc tegglfvis rtbbx tlr tfjv jcv raeaafgfv jr tf fzqijlcfv, ¡°P-P abbx la bea ab qifjrf sbe¡­¡±

    Lu Tao did not answer and asked instead, ¡°How are you going to please me with these things?¡± His gaze fell on his little wife¡¯s lips. Those lips were red and so cute that you would want to bite on them. He looked at the box again and frowned. ¡°You¡¯ve played with all these?¡±


    Even if Cheng Jin had used those toys with him, Lu Tao still felt jealous since he lost those memories. It was as if he was cheated on.


    Cheng Jin hurriedly shook his head, ¡°No, no, I-I never played with these. You see, they¡¯re all brand new, still in the original package.¡± In order to prove his innocence, he held up a large pile of things, and accidentally touched something rattling, attracting the attention of both of them. Lu Tao took that thing, held it up and shook it. ¡°A cat bell?¡±


    It was a collar made of black leather laced with a bell, and it looked just like the item that hung around a cat¡¯s neck.


    He bought these things a long time ago, roughly 4 years ago. Cheng Jin couldn¡¯t remember what he had bought at the time, nor did he know how to use them. He said, ¡°I probably bought them by mistake.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not a mistake.¡± Lu Tao suddenly put the collar around Cheng Jin¡¯s slim and slender neck. ¡°It¡¯s absolutely perfect,¡± he said quietly, his gaze deepening.


    His husband¡¯s gaze was aggressive. Cheng Jin¡¯s face instantly became redder. He was a little afraid of his husband, and subconsciously shrunk back. Lu Tao, however, wrapped his arms around him, came close, and whispered in his ear, ¡°My little kitty, what other toys do you want to wear?¡±


    This nickname made Cheng Jin embarrassed and his heart trembled. He suddenly found it hard to breathe. Lu Tao began to pick and choose in the box, took out the tail he had just touched and stuffed it in his hand, whispering, ¡°Let me see you stuff it in yourself.¡± Then he picked up what seemed like lubricant and passed it to Cheng Jin. ¡°It¡¯s not expired, right?¡±


    Cheng Jin felt the silicone material was too hot to hold. He wanted to throw it away but didn¡¯t dare to, so he begged for mercy in a low voice, ¡°It¡¯s too big. Can we use a different one?¡±


    The Lord General laughed lightly. ¡°It¡¯s not as big as your husband¡¯s thing. You can do it.¡±


    Cheng Jin had no choice but to crawl on the bed as he shivered. He began to open the tube of lubricant that had not expired. When he could finally open the lubricant, Lu Tao had already climbed on the bed, and in his hands were a few small toys that he had just selected, two nipple clamps and a tattoo sticker. He shook the tattoo sticker with a mockery look on his face. ¡°You also bought this?¡±


    Cheng Jin saw the text on the tattoo sticker and felt so ashamed that he almost bit his tongue. His head shook like a rattle. ¡°No! Absolutely not! Th-This was a freebie. It was a giveaway!¡±


    ¡°Is that so?¡± The man laughed in a deep voice. ¡°I thought you wanted to be your husband¡¯s little bitch.¡±


    Hearing these words, Cheng Jin was so embarrassed that he wanted to grab the quilt to cover himself, and before he could move, Lu Tao caught him and thought out loud, ¡°Where should I stick it?¡± He urged, ¡°Hurry up and stick your tail in, little bitch.¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s face blushed crimson, but he was excited. The man who used to be cold and indifferent would actually do this to him. He was so joyful that he didn¡¯t know what to do and wished he could pour his heart out for him. Cheng Jin closed his eyes for a moment, knowing that his husband was watching up close, he endured the embarrassment and squeezed out the lubricant, then reached for his asshole with his hand.


    The trembling fingers touched the hole that was already wet, and reached in after massaging a few times casually. The lubricant was probably a very high-end brand. Once inside, it turned into a sticky juice, soaking every inch of intestinal flesh and facilitating the expansion.


    Kneeling down and lowering his waist, Cheng Jin¡¯s posture greatly pleased his husband. Lu Tao¡¯s breathing became unsteady, and he couldn¡¯t help but lick Cheng Jin¡¯s back waist, ironing the skin with lips and tongue. He then tore off the tattoo stick with ¡°little bitch¡± written on it, and stuck it on.


    Stroked by a warm palm, Cheng Jin immediately knew what mark had been put on his back waist. Knowing that it was something that could be washed away with water, it still made him so ashamed that even his expansion movements were messed up. His fingers were almost caught in his intestines and couldn¡¯t move. Lu Tao admired his back waist for a moment before coming over to bite his earlobe. ¡°You haven¡¯t stuck the tail in yet.¡± At the same time, he precisely pinched Cheng Jin¡¯s right nipple with a nipple clamp.


    ¡°Ah..!¡± Some slight pain made Cheng Jin shriek out, and then he felt it impossible to handle the subtle current that followed. He looked at his husband pitifully. ¡°It hurts a little¡­¡±


    The flat nipples were pinched and turned cherry red, and Lu Tao found it sexy. He whispered seductively, ¡°Bear with it. Don¡¯t you want to please your husband?¡± Meanwhile, he pinched the other nipple with the second nipple clamp.


    The current was then turned on at both sides. At first, it was a little painful, then a tingling feeling gradually spread. Cheng Jin started to moan and no longer asked to take them down. The liquid in the hole started to spread, heat up, and itch. He squeezed out more lubricant and stuffed it in, and that tingling feeling was becoming obvious.


    Initially, the sensation could be somewhat relieved with just the fingers, but later it became harder for Cheng Jin to withstand it, and he started to breathe heavily. Lu Tao noticed that his hole contracted involuntarily like a fish desperate for water. He was a little surprised. ¡°So excited?¡±


    Cheng Jin shook his head, only to feel that he increasingly couldn¡¯t think clearly, ¡°Itchy..so itchy¡­¡± He saw the dildo on the side, and subconsciously grabbed it and pushed it into his anal opening; the movement was fast and urgent. Lu Tao grabbed his hand, stopped his movement, and came close to look into his eyes. ¡°Something¡¯s wrong.¡±


    Cheng Jin couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. He licked his lips, and his voice was full of thirst, ¡°Husband¡­itchy..itchy¡­..¡±He still tried to push the dildo inside his hole, but Lu Tao grabbed his hand firmly, and he simply could not resist him. He smelled the tantalizing scent from his husband, so he abandoned the dildo and rubbed himself at him, ¡°So itchy¡­ Husband¡­help me stop it¡­.¡±


    Lu Tao felt that he looked quite off, as he was clearly more horny and brazen than usual, so he hurriedly took the lubricant and checked the packaging. His eyes turned cold when he saw the word ¡°aphrodisiac¡± printed in small font. Before he could think further, Cheng Jin had come closer, grabbed his crotch, and began to jerk him off.


    Lu Tao resisted his movement with one hand, while reading through the instructions on the package. When he read that this type of lubricant would not harm the body and would only arouse ¡°new females¡±, he was finally relieved.


    His baobei in his arms had turned pink, his eyes misty and sexy, and his enticing tongue sticking out, as if he wanted to lick and suck something. Lu Tao saw the tail and had an idea. He patted Cheng Jin¡¯s cheek and whispered, ¡°Turn around.¡± Then he came close to his ear, lowered his magnetic voice further, ¡°I¡¯ll stuff the tail in my little bitch.¡±


    Cheng Jin whimpered and attempted to remove his pants, but after being pinched on the butt, he turned around meekly and lifted up his butt again.


    The pink hole was already wet. It opened and closed to reveal a small hole and the pink intestinal flesh inside. Lu Tao¡®s breathing became unsteady, and every time he pinched Cheng Jin¡¯s butt, Cheng Jin whimpered like a puppy while turning his head to look at him pitifully with his watery eyes. That look made the lord general extremely hard.


    The thick dildo looked like it wouldn¡¯t fit the narrow opening, so Lu Tao initially pushed two fingers in. Once inside, Cheng Jin began to moan loudly, and his hole contracted tightly, while inside of the hole was incredibly damp. Lu Tao brutally expanded his hole, played with it until his anal opening was loose and soft, only to pull his fingers out and push the dildo in.


    The tip of the dildo went in smoothly, while the bumps on the dildo made it a bit more difficult to go in further. Cheng Jin kept trying to move away, while begging with a very low voice ¡°I want you, husband¡±, which almost made Lu Tao give up this plan. He managed to resist the temptation and finally pushed the dildo all the way in ruthlessly, only exposing a hairy tail outside.


    Now, the young wife was very much like his exclusive little bitch.


    Creamy and tantalizing, those beautiful eyes looking at him filled with love, the lord general was actually a little jealous of his former self.

    The adult toys were finely crafted, so Cheng Jin used to buy them at a high price. After the tail¡¯s switch was turned on, Cheng Jin rose, as everywhere in his body trembled, accompanied by the incessant ringing of the bell around his neck. His ass kept gyrating, and the tail¡¯s furry part also kept grazing and swinging, looking exactly like a puppy begging to be fucked. Lu Tao caressed his face, a bit jealous of the item stuffed in his rear. In a deep tone, he asked, ¡°Feeling good?¡±


    Unable to respond, Cheng Jin could only turn his head and lick his fingers until they were soaking wet. He captured his lips once again, his hot breath brushing, his cheeks flushed bewitchingly. The lord general fiddled with the little tongue in his mouth with his fingers, stirring within to explore, his saliva making a squelching noise as he spoke with uncontrollable jealousy, ¡°Have you also played like this before?¡±


    Cheng Jin absentmindedly shook his head, as he said fuzzily and longingly, ¡°Hug me¡­ I want husband¡¯s hug¡­¡±


    As soon as his husband hugged him, he also bounced and grinded against his little cock very hard. The dildo in his ass was vibrating frenziedly, rubbing against his sensitive insides, stimulating his prostate and making his hole churn out more lascivious juices. Lu Tao, seeing that he was having fun feeling good, couldn¡¯t help but grab his little tail to pull it out, but as soon as he did so, Cheng Jin squeezed tightly as if he couldn¡¯t bear to part with it, all the while vaguely saying, ¡°More¡­ Don¡¯t pull it out¡­¡±


    Lu Tao frowned as he nipped his mouthful lips, saying in a low voice, ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to ask for the dildo! Just ask for mine!¡± He pulled out the entire tail and discarded it below the bed after he spoke.


    Cheng Jin stared at the vibrating fake tail, his eyes full of longing, and he felt aggrieved. Tears patteringly fell from his eyes. Lu Tao looked even more angry. He grabbed his hand and pressed it to his crotch, whispering, ¡°Here, there¡¯s a bigger one here.¡±


    Cheng Jin turned back. When his eyes fell on his face, he was dazed. Lu Tao read the lubricant¡¯s instructions and said the drug could have hallucinogenic effects on ¡°new females.¡± Generally, this sort of drug should not be available for purchase, and he did not know what means Cheng Jin had used to buy it. Cheng Jin¡¯s tears were still falling, leaving a watery trail on his snow-white skin, looking pitiful and lovely. Lu Tao squeezed his face and asked unhappily, ¡°Don¡¯t want mine?¡±


    Cheng Jin stared at him closely and suddenly said, ¡°You always refused!¡±


    Although one could speculate their former relationship wasn¡¯t particularly harmonious, Lu Tao still believed Cheng Jin¡¯s love for him wasn¡¯t fake, and his own fondness too, were unlikely to be fake, so he couldn¡¯t grasp how they used to interact before. Hearing what Cheng Jin had said just now, his heart felt like it was stabbed. His voice also softened, ¡°I didn¡¯t give it to you before?¡±


    ¡°En¡­¡± Cheng Jin felt aggrieved. ¡°Won¡¯t give in to flattery, won¡¯t give it if asked, why won¡¯t you give it¡­. Too mean¡­ You didn¡¯t even want to look at my face¡­¡± He leaned close to Lu Tao,the tip of his nose slammed in his nose, and he refused to retreat even when he was crying, persisting,  ¡°Look at me now ya, look at me¡­.¡± He seemed quite ravenous; his ass kept twisting, and the erotic fluid inside his hole flowed out, wetting Lu Tao¡¯s pants.

    His clothes were stripped off, revealing a toned body. It might¡¯ve been an ingrained habit, because even when he had amnesia, as long as the general would get out of bed, he¡¯d insist on exercising, so the general¡¯s pectoral and abdominal muscles didn¡¯t disappear. Rather, because the muscles were somewhat reduced, they appeared more contoured. Cheng Jin wantonly left his own saliva marks on it, while muttering contentedly, ¡°Mm¡­Mine¡­ My husband is mine¡­¡± He licked his lower abdomen a few times, brushed his chin against his husband¡¯s hair, and then finally pulled out his husband¡¯s penis.


    The thick murder weapon stood upright. Cheng Jin stared blankly, blushed quickly, lowered his head softly, first kissed the glans, and then rubbed his cheeks against the hot rod, and whispered, ¡°This is also mine¡­¡±


    Lu Tao was so stimulated that his breath was in chaos, wishing to fuck his little wife¡¯s body immediately. He looked at the beautiful lips close at hand, couldn¡¯t help brushing his penis against them, and whispered, ¡°It¡¯s all yours, darling. Eat it. ¡±


    Cheng Jin twisted unconsciously again, ¡°Want below¡­¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll feed it to your bottom.¡± The lord general squeezed his chin uncontrollably and rubbed his cock against his lips. Sticky fluid already flowed from the small tip, and the colourless pre-cum rubbed against Cheng Jin¡¯s lips, making him even more arousing. Cheng Jin obediently stretched out his tongue and licked it. He was obviously a newbie, but Lu Tao was ineffably aroused that he wanted to put the whole cock into his mouth.


    The poor little guy still had the little cat bell on his neck and the nipple clip on his chest. He cocked his ass and licked his husband¡¯s penis. The entire scene was incredibly erotic. The more Lu Tao touched his face, neck, and his shoulders, the more he couldn¡¯t control himself. When Cheng Jin sucked his head in, he finally couldn¡¯t bear it. Holding his head, he straightened his back and thrusted his cock into his throat.


    ¡°Hnn¡­¡± Cheng Jin, unknown whether because it was too painful or arousing, burst into tears that covered his face, looking particularly pitiful. Lu Tao, however, could not resist, and continued to plunge into his throat, frantically thrusting his waist forward, and then pulled his penis out after a while and came into Cheng Jin¡¯s face.


    Cheng Jin was still crying, with a blankness in his widened eyes and an unsatisfied lust. When the semen sprayed on his face, he didn¡¯t dodge, but he even opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue to catch it.


    Lu Tao shot out the semen with a heavy breath. When he saw Cheng Jin licking the semen and swallowing it into his mouth, he hardened again. In the end, he couldn¡¯t hold back and picked Cheng Jin up, sat him on his lap, and began to feed him his cock.


    The thick giant squeezed into the sloppy flesh hole. Even if it was a bit obstructed, it didn¡¯t matter. Cheng Jin was propped up to the point where his belly bulged, with residual sperm still on his face. Everything about him was extremely sexy. Lu Tao patted his ass again and whispered, ¡°Don¡¯t you want it? Why don¡¯t you work hard and eat more?¡±


    There was still a small part of the penis that had yet to be inserted. Obviously, as long as Lu Tao exerted force, it could penetrate completely, but he deliberately wanted his little wife to eat it by himself. Cheng Jin really started to work hard, shaking his butt and sitting down, sucking the extremely large rod bit by bit, his hole stretched to the extreme, and slowly eating all the penis in.


    ¡°Hnhh¡­wuu¡­ So good¡­¡± ¡°Cheng Jin trembled all over, and his little cock was also trembling, and then he shot out continuously, wetting his husband¡¯s lower abdomen. Lu Tao rubbed his ass, tugged the nipple clip on his body, and teased, ¡°Just came from this?¡±


    ¡°Feels so good huuu¡­¡± Cheng Jin lay on his arms and gasped, licking the semen flowing to the corner of his mouth. His insides were shrinking, sucking the big cock contained in it contentedly, as if he was imitating the shape of the whole cock, as if to figure out every arc and every groove. Lu Tao could not stand it. He hugged him for a while and tried to pull out his penis, but Cheng Jin refused, groaning and losing temper, ¡°Don¡¯t pull out¡­ it¡¯s mine¡­I ate it¡­so it¡¯s mine¡­¡±


    Lu Tao chuckled and said, ¡°Change your position.¡±


    Cheng Jin was quiet for a while. When he knew he was going to enter through a doggy position, he made a few more noises. Lu Tao¡¯s sight had been attracted by the tattoo on his back waist. He grabbed him and refused to let go. Cheng Jin couldn¡¯t resist, so he could only kneel, collapse his waist, and let him enter.


    He could see and feel his little wife¡¯s tender, pale skin, and his fleshy ass in the doggy style position. The main thing would be to clearly see the scene of his hole swallowing his cock. Lu Tao couldn¡¯t wait to open the light screen to film this scene, but when he thought that it was unsafe, he restrained the thought.


    The entrance to Cheng Jin¡¯s womb was already very wet, wriggling restlessly. Lu Ta took a deep breath, and kept rubbing there continuously, staring at the temporary tattoo on Cheng Jin¡¯s lower waist, and in the end couldn¡¯t help but lap there, and then pushed his penis into Cheng Jin¡¯s womb.


    The man under him was shaking again, his face was buried in the quilt, and a low whimper came out of his throat. Lu Tao thrusted a few times. Seeing that he didn¡¯t turn his head, he leaned over lovingly near his white jade-like earlobes, and whispered smilingly, ¡°Feeling good? Little bitch.¡±


    With the playful nickname, Cheng Jin¡¯s hole shrank even tighter, but he still didn¡¯t look up. Lu Tao thought he was shy, so he deliberately rubbed his sensitive parts, and it took a while before he realized something was wrong.


    Cheng Jin was not only shaking, but also crying.


    Lu Tao hurriedly went to grab his face, and touched the traces of wetness. He was taken aback for a moment, and then became anxious. He used some strength to break off Cheng Jin¡¯s face pressed on the quilt and make him turn to him. After seeing clearly, he found that his face was full of tears, and even his lips were bitten , covered with a ring of tooth marks. The lord general was alarmed. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± he asked. ¡°What¡¯s wrong baobei? Does it hurt?¡±


    Cheng Jin shook his head, still crying, the kind of restrained crying. Seeing that he was about to bite his lips again, Lu Tao quickly pinched his cheeks and rescued his lips. He¡¯s a smart guy, so he quickly figured it out. ¡°Don¡¯t like me doing it from behind?¡°


    Cheng Jin sniffed and finally opened his mouth, ¡°Don¡¯t do it from behind¡­¡± He looked at Lu Tao and choked up, with deep sadness in his voice. ¡°Look at me¡­ Don¡¯t not look at me¡­¡±


    The tall man was distressed, picked up his little wife, and entered him from the front. Cheng Jin stopped crying now, but he was still aggrieved. He held his neck and didn¡¯t let go, but his hole was actively eating the man¡¯s cock. He whispered, ¡°Fuck my womb¡­¡±


    When Lu Tao filled in his partner¡¯s body, Cheng Jin kissed him and rode him as he kissed him.


    Lips and tongues fiercely entangled, and the place where they merged was also extremely wet, and the transparent sticky liquid rubbed out and dripped onto the sheets. An unknown time later, Cheng Jin came again, and a large amount of liquid was sprayed out of the womb, which stimulated Lu Tao to cum inside him.


    The lubricant¡¯s aphrodisiac effect was too good. Cheng Jin pestered his husband to do it again. After cumming himself for almost four times, he finally stopped. When Lu Tao cleaned him, he fell asleep in his arms groggily.

    The author has something to say:


    The girl who said she was borrowing was probably impulsive at the beginning. She later left a private apology, so this topic can be put to an end~


    Thank you to the girls who¡¯ve read both novels and provided clarification ~ I have not read that novel, and I was, in fact, a little worried about it, and I was afraid there would be a series of similarities. Since it wasn¡¯t the case, then I can continue to write with peace of mind £¨£ª¦ä¨Œ¦ä£ª£©


    .


    It¡¯s a new week. Please recommend this novel. o£¨£ª////¨Œ////£ª£©q


    Thank you!


    Cheng Jin was sound asleep and didn¡¯t even wake up when Lu Tao helped him put on pajamas. He was very quiet in his sleep; even the sound of his breathing was very light. His thick eyelashes cast a small shadow and lips were still red, looking innocent and obedient.


    Not at all like a person who would threaten a man to marry him.


    Overly humble and always looking distressed, Lu Tao could guess that he was very cold to him in the past. Today, he went to grandmother¡¯s place and spent a day with the old lady whom he had no memory of but felt close to. She did not mention much about the past, and he did not ask. In fact, he had decided at that time that if his grandmother were to bring up this topic, he would stop her.


    Inexplicably, Lu Tao didn¡¯t seem to be eager to learn about the past.


    Now, however, he wanted to know.


    What kind of past scared him like this?


    Lu Tao opened his communicator, found Fei Li¡¯s contact page, and sent a message. Soon he received his approximate itinerary in the past.

    And the insects that fed on human blood and flesh were also evolving. In the recent decades, some insects evolved to have a human face and limbs and looked extremely scary. But because humans had advanced technology, insects had been suppressed. However, there was another enemy, the werewolves.


    The werewolves lived in a galaxy not far from the human habitat. A long time ago, the two races were living on the same planet, and the werewolves regarded humans as ¡°food¡± and used to brutally kill humans. The situation was somewhat alleviated when humans invented spacecrafts and migrated out of the original planet. But then the werewolves¡¯ intelligence also began to evolve, and one time they captured a spacecraft invented by humans, and then began the second massacre of humans. That massacre was so tragic that many human beings died and the werewolves were badly hurt, so there was a deep hatred between the two races. At the time the werewolves stole a set of human genetic samples, and developed a drug to assimilate the human mind. When they attacked again, they knew to plant ¡°pawns¡± among humans in advance.


    Lu Tao earned his first promotion by playing a decisive role in a battle with the werewolves. He noticed that a certain officer had been assimilated by werewolves and had mutinied, so he immediately killed ¡°him¡±, turning the tide of the battle and saving the lives of thousands of soldiers, thus being promoted to Major. Since then, his outstanding abilities had been revealed numerous times. He had thirty-four major and minor outstanding military services, and became an general at the age of twenty-seven. To date, he was the youngest general on the planet. The media also predicted that he would become the youngest general in the future.


    After more than a hundred years of research, humans had finally forged a protective wall outside the planet that could effectively prevent the invasion of insects and werewolves. Soldiers who returned from interstellar patrol were also subject to close inspection. The reason why Lu Tao¡¯s battleship had an accident last time might be due to a loophole, likely a man-made one.


    Since Lu Tao had lost his memory, Fei Li only briefly mentioned these things; he said, ¡°The military department is investigating this accident closely, and has identified the target. I believe that the spy will be captured soon.¡±


    Lu Tao had no objection to this, as he realized that, based on the information gathered, humankind¡¯s future enemies would no longer be the insects or the werewolves, but humankind itself.


    The planets showed varying levels of wealth and environment, but the leadership on the Imperial Planet was still widening this gap, leading to a severe hidden danger for the future.


    The itinerary Fei Li had put together was detailed, with everything written down from the time he started going to war to the time of his memory loss. And he probably knew what his boss had in mind, and listed time spent on the Imperial Planet separately.


    Seven years, a total of less than twenty trips, his longest stay was less than a month, and during those twenty something days, he even spent twenty days in the military base training for a competition and only seven days as his spare time.


    Five months and three days.


    How much time was saved for his young wife?


    Looking at this number, Lu Tao felt it cold and indifferent, then he suddenly had a thought.


    Cheng Jin liked him this much? So much so that he did not file for divorce?


    And how did his former self feel about him?


    Lu Tao wasn¡¯t sure, but he knew that unless his personality prior to memory loss was completely different, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t maintain a romantic relationship with someone he couldn¡¯t stand.


    Not to mention Cheng Jin¡¯s looks were in line with his taste.


    The Lord General felt strange, as he tried to recall the Lu Tao before the memory loss but he couldn¡¯t think of anything, as if it was a stranger. His eyes scanned the data back and forth, and finally landed on a certain event.


    Imperial Planet, the year of 887, October 22nd, the General¡¯s wife, Cheng Jin, applied for permission to accompany the army, and the senior management approved and sent a private plane to General Lu Tao¡¯s operations office. 38 hours later, Cheng Jin returned on the private plane.


    Lu Tao frowned as he stared at this message, he quickly compared the detailed itinerary sent by Fei Li and found that at this point in time, they were clearing the last wave of werewolves. At that time, the werewolves had infiltrated into the human population. They had been screening the population for half a month, and had isolated all the people to locate the spies, and had finally been able to dismiss the alarm. But Lu Tao checked his former self¡¯s usual practice, and with his caution, he would have extended the search time. Because he felt that half a month was not enough to eliminate the danger completely.


    So was it possible that the reason why he immediately sent his young wife back was because he was worried about his safety?


    Because of the memory loss, even himself had no way of verifying his speculation for why he did what he did in the past.


    He suddenly didn¡¯t want to recover his memory.


    Lu Tao wasn¡¯t sure how his former self felt about Cheng Jin.


    If he really hated him, then how would he explain his feelings now?


    Cheng Jin couldn¡¯t remember last night¡¯s craziness after he woke up, and when his husband teased him, he could only blush and whisper, ¡°I don¡¯t even remember anything. You must be lying to me¡­¡±


    Lu Tao pinched his cheek and deliberately said, ¡°I really regret that I didn¡¯t use the light screen to record what happened yesterday, otherwise you can¡¯t pretend to not remember it!¡±


    Cheng Jin looked at him shyly and timidly while murmuring, ¡°Then record it next time¡­¡±


    The Lord General raised his eyebrows. ¡°So you want to see it, too?¡± He pinched his chin again, and said seriously, ¡°Tell me the truth, you really don¡¯t remember?¡±


    Cheng Jin shook his head. ¡°I really don¡¯t remember.¡±


    His expression was sincere, so Lu Tao was a bit annoyed and pressed further, ¡°Where did you buy that kind of stuff? If someone else used it on you, wouldn¡¯t you have been taken advantage of and not even aware of it?¡± He came closer, ¡°Have you ever used it before?¡±


    Cheng Jin panicked while shaking his head. ¡°No, I-I forgot where I bought it. It may also be a giveaway from the seller.¡±


    ¡°You really have never used it before?¡±


    Cheng Jin shook his head again, and blushed from embarrassment. ¡°Even if I had used it, it would be with you. I-I have never made out with other men¡­but you¡­.¡± Cheng Jin pursed his lips. The last two words were so light that they almost didn¡¯t come out of Cheng Jin¡¯s mouth, so Lu Tao did not hear it. While his husband said ¡°you better¡±, Cheng Jin couldn¡¯t help but think of Lu Tao¡¯s scandals, and that he might have a lover on another planet, which made him feel like his heart was soaked in a jar of vinegar.


    Lu Tao was particularly fond of pinching his cheeks, and even couldn¡¯t help but kiss him a few times. After several kisses, he finally refrained himself from leaving teeth marks on it. He suddenly said, ¡°Asher invited me to a party. Do you want to come along?¡±


    Cheng Jin froze for a moment, and his heart twitched inexplicably. He looked at the handsome face up close, and even though they had become very close recently, he was still occasionally reminded of the coldness on Lu Tao¡¯s face in the past. Cheng Jin said, ¡°I¡¯m not going.¡±


    Lu Tao frowned, ¡°You don¡¯t even ask what kind of party it is before declining? And you¡¯re so unwilling to accompany me?¡±


    Cheng Jin was upset, but he tried not to show it. He said, ¡°Your party must involve some athletic activities, and I¡¯m not good at those. It¡¯s not that I¡¯m unwilling to go with you. It-It¡¯s just that I still have work to finish, and I don¡¯t have much time¡­.¡±


    ¡°It is indeed an athletic activity. He asked me to go to the shooting range.¡± The Lord General felt bad. ¡°You don¡¯t have to work so hard. We can open a joint account. I¡¯ve looked into this, and we can share the fortune once we sign the papers.¡±


    ¡°There¡®s no need.¡± Cheng Jin was getting more panicky, and he shook head vigorously. ¡°We don¡¯t need to open an account. I can manage it for now. Aren¡¯t you already paying for all of our living expenses? You shouldn¡¯t be responsible for my father¡¯s expenses. And he doesn¡¯t need money for surgery now, only the money for medicine. My brother¡¯s and my income are enough to pay for it.¡±


    Lu Tao double checked. ¡°Are you sure?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m sure.¡± Cheng Jin responded seriously.


    Lu Tao did not feel puzzled by this. In fact, on the Imperial Planet, not many couples would open joint bank accounts. After all, this required enough trust and the permission of both parties. It¡¯s just that he didn¡¯t expect Cheng Jin to have such strong self-esteem and pride given his meek looks.


    He didn¡¯t know that Cheng Jin couldn¡¯t open up to him.


    His family used despicable means to force Lu Tao to marry him back then, and in order to control him, Cheng Jin¡¯s father strongly opposed him opening a joint account.


    ¡°Sweet child, he now seeks help from our family. Only if we make him depend on us will he listen to you and treat you well. If you open a joint account with him and he takes all your money and then divorces you, what else can you do to control him?¡±


    Cheng Jin was persuaded by his father and felt he made a good point, and he didn¡¯t raise the matter again.


    However, Lu Tao actually never spent his money, nor did he ever want the Cheng family fortune. He relied on his own efforts and risked his life for a successful future, a future that did not need to depend on anyone else.


    So when the Cheng family was in trouble, Cheng Jin couldn¡¯t bear to ask him for help.


    How could he ask him for help if he had once maliciously speculated about him?

    They realized that the amnesia made Lu Tao became more approachable, as more and more people invited him to parties and banquets.


    Lu Tao did not actually decline any of the invitations, especially to gatherings with competitions. He was eager to participate as well. Originally, he enjoyed athletic competition immensely. In addition, most of the awards in the competitions were wonderful trinkets. Every time Lu Tao triumphed, he would give absolutely everything to Cheng Jin.


    This time, he returned a bracelet with blue sapphires embedded in it. Cheng Jin was immediately taken with it. Seeing the signature etched into the inner ring shocked him. ¡°This is the work of the renowned Master Quan. It has a very high value. Who is so wealthy as to offer it as a prize?¡±


    ¡°Dunno.¡± When he saw the item, his sole thought was that his young wife could be interested in it, so he chose to take it seriously and came in first place relatively unscathed despite his lack of concern for this important component. ¡°Renowned Master Quan? Is he that well-known?¡±


    Cheng Jin energetically bobbed his head, while saying, ¡°He enjoys incorporating sapphires in his jewelry. Because my brother took me to his studio, I probably developed a preference for blue. Blue diamonds of different shapes, sizes, and colors were on display.¡±


    Lu Tao felt quite upset when he listened to Cheng Jin praising others. ¡°He shouldn¡¯t be young if he¡¯s called a renowned master, right?¡±


    ¡°The last time I saw him, he was already, like, 85 years old.¡± Unaware of his husband¡¯s feelings, Cheng Jin sensibly replied, ¡°At that time, I was only seven years old.¡±


    The lord general showed a smile, feeling relieved. Cheng Jin said, At the time, I pleaded with my ge to buy all the jewelry there. My ge also asked Great Master Quan, however, Great Master Quan was adamant and had no intention of selling them at any price, so the old sir could only give me a miniature blue gem pendant necklace, although I have no idea where it has disappeared to. Great Master Quan was 92 years old when he passed away. After his passing, his studio was broken into. His works disappeared into thin air. Prior to three years ago, when three of his most cherished works appeared in the world and were auctioned at an auction house, the police had no success in locating it. I believe this bracelet was among them, along with a matching necklace.¡±


    ¡°You didn¡¯t attend the auction then?¡± Lu Tao tipped back, uncertain. If his presumptions were correct, the Cheng family was still the richest family on the Imperial Planet. Cheng Jin seemed to be very interested in following this news, so he must¡¯ve gone to participate.


    Cheng Jin looked confused for a moment, then soon recovered his calm. He shook his head. ¡°I haven¡¯t.¡±


    ¡°Why?¡±


    Cheng Jin fidgeted with his bracelet as he stated, in a quieter tone, ¡°It¡¯s not a necessity, so it isn¡¯t necessary.¡± His connection with Lu Tao was extremely strained at the time. For three years, he was left in the cold. The feeling of helplessness and the want to do everything to get the attention of men finally overtook him and he felt as though he couldn¡¯t take it anymore. He also harboured suspicions about Lu Tao¡¯s love life and even considered seeking out a journalist to interview him and break the news that he was Lu Tao¡¯s lover, but he ultimately decided against it.


    Cheng Jin put a lot of attention into beautifying the house before his husband¡¯s return, purchased numerous beautiful and expensive accessories, and dressed impeccably in anticipation of a compliment.


    However, when Lu Tao noticed the appearance of their home, he ceased his attempt to enter the door. He stared at Cheng Jin and asked in a cold tone, ¡°Is your appearance the only thing you¡¯ll change?¡±


    Pa abbx Jtfcu Alc j ofk wbwfcar ab gfmbnfg tlr mbwqbregf. Qtfc la mjwf ab qtgjrfr bo rjgmjralm pfra, atf tjcvrbwf sbecu wjrafg kjr cba rb kfii-nfgrfv.

    He thought that Lu Tao would not hold him accountable for placing blame on others. But the man looked at him even colder, and the man asked with a touch of disdain in his voice. ¡°When will you realize that you¡¯re the one in the wrong?¡±


    No matter how bad his face looked, he should have gone through the door at that point. Cheng Jin also earned his one night of happiness, thus he should have stayed at home for one night. But no matter how much Cheng Jin wanted Lu Tao to stay, he turned around and walked out the door.


    After all this, the young master still hadn¡¯t figured out what he¡¯d done wrong. He began to question whether or not Lu Tao had a lover outside, so he decided to have him followed.


    The news he purchased for a hefty price indicated that Lu Tao would dine with a woman the following evening at the restaurant. Cheng Jin was furious and delusional after hearing the news. He failed to investigate thoroughly, so he abruptly appeared at their dining table. When he realized the age discrepancy with the other lady, it was too late to change his mind.


    Lu Tao was angered by his irrationality. In an unprecedented act of self-initiative, the man grabbed his wrist and led him out of the restaurant. He applied considerable force to his hand. Fingerprints were left on Cheng Jin¡¯s wrist when he was flung out.


    Cheng Jin felt guilty for disturbing his dinner, and whispered, ¡°I didn¡¯t mean to, I thought you¡­ I didn¡¯t expect you to be with¡­¡± Cheng Jin didn¡¯t know the identity of the other party, but the woman looked to be in her 60s or 70s, so she definitely wouldn¡¯t be his lover.


    Lu Tao said coldly, ¡°It¡¯s my aunt.¡±


    ¡°I-It was my mistake¡­¡± The young master rarely bowed his head, but he remained skeptical.


    Lu Tao appeared to see right through him. His voice became colder, ¡°Do you really know you¡¯re in the wrong?¡±


    The young master nodded somewhat guilty.


    Lu Tao gave him a cold, vicious look and declared, ¡°You know nothing at all! Since infancy, you have never understood what a ¡°mistake¡± is or what courtesy is! You only know how to glam yourself. The fact that you have a lot of money doesn¡¯t mean you¡¯re aware of the fact that your heart is nothing but trash.¡±


    It was the first time he spoke so extensively to Cheng Jin, and it was also the first time he used such weighty language. ¡°Why don¡¯t you look at yourself first if you want me to like you? What could I possibly like?¡± After he finished speaking, he merely walked back to the restaurant without another glance.


    Cheng Jin stared blankly at his tall and straight back, and felt at a loss.


    Throughout his life, he had been lavished with attention and affection by those around him. He was oblivious to the concept of mistake. It appeared that, so long as he desired it, he could do everything correctly and obtain whatever he desired with relative ease. Accusations of this nature have never come up in his life before.


    But he still loved him.


    The young master felt wronged and dissatisfied.


    Isn¡¯t it just making things right? I can do it too!


    When he returned, he let go of the helpers. He also thanked them and launched little Cheng Cheng. He also attempted to alter his privileged lifestyle. He stopped frequenting luxury boutiques and made an effort to be courteous to everyone he encountered. Because of this, my father and brother were convinced that his brains had been completely fried.


    He changed little by little, starting from small things, but despite this, his relationship with Lu Tao did not improve. Even after applying to join the army, not long after he arrived at his destination happily, he was sent back with a cold face.


    When he saw the news about the gem auction, he had the thought to acquire all of the gems. But, Cheng Jin resisted even when his brother called to see if he wanted it.


    If he bought something, it would undoubtedly be reported in the newspaper, which would inform Lu Tao; hence, the other party would think that he is the same as before and that nothing has changed.


    So he gave up.


    It took him a major event, though, in order to entirely change. Aside from the fact that he had thanked others in the past, he did not get why he was supposed to be grateful; so, his previous behavior was essentially an act of deception. Only then did he realize why Lu Tao disliked his former self.


    Lu Tao fastened the bracelet of sapphire gemstones to his wrist. It made Cheng Jin¡¯s complexion appear ivory-pale, which made him a stunning sight. His husband rubbed his chin, his eyes brimming with affection. ¡°Do you like it?¡±


    Cheng Jin nodded vigorously, showing a sweet smile, ¡°I really like it!¡±


    Lu Tao said, ¡°Asher said that there will be another banquet soon, do you want to join us?¡±


    Thinking of the approaching orange floral banquet, Cheng Jin¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and quickly asked, ¡°What kind of banquet is it?¡±


    ¡°Just operating mechas, and also getting drunk by wine. The date is at the end of the month.¡± Lu Tao said while he pawed his face. He was particularly fond of Cheng Jin¡¯s face, and always felt that pinching was not enough.


    The orange floral banquet would also be at the end of the month, but there would never be an event of manipulating mechas. Cheng Jin couldn¡¯t help but breathe a sigh of relief. With a slight smile on his face, he said, ¡°You go, I won¡¯t go.¡±


    The lord general was a little dissatisfied. ¡°Why are you always reluctant to go whenever I invite you to go to a banquet?¡± He leaned over, kissed Cheng Jin on the lips, and hung a smile, ¡°So you don¡¯t dare to meet anyone?¡±


    Cheng Jin didn¡¯t know how to answer.


    Several years ago, He knew what every banquet that Lu Tao was going to attend. He expected the other party to take him there, and even mentioned it, But Lu Tao wouldn¡¯t allow him. He wouldn¡¯t even take him to a family gathering.


    Lu Tao is cold-hearted. He could only attend military meetings. There was no way Cheng Jin could travel there unless he had an invitation letter and he was with Lu Tao. And for those ¡°celebrity¡± parties he attended, it was simply impossible to get his husband with him.


    And now Lu Tao would actually complain that he wouldn¡¯t accompany him to the banquet.


    It¡¯s hard to describe Cheng Jin¡¯s state of mind, yet he was a little fortunate. Thankfully, few people are aware that he is Lu Tao¡¯s partner. As the general¡¯s wife, he would actually serve someone else for an entire day. If this information were to spread, Lu Tao would surely lose face.


    Cheng Jin kissed his husband back and said with a smile, ¡°Isn¡¯t it good if it¡¯s just you who shows up?¡±


    ¡°Of course.¡± Lu Tao squeezed the soft flesh on his waist, then leaned over again, ¡°Take a closer look at your husband.¡±


    In the blink of an eye, the end of the month had already arrived, and before that, Cheng Jin had already completed all the orders he had received. When he arrived at Lian Wu¡¯s house as agreed, Lian Wu was wearing a dress. His husband had gone out of town. There were beautiful gems embedded in the fabric of his dress, as well as a chest decoration made of beautiful tail feathers, as requested by Lian Wu.


    He had a very good figure. In contrast to his pitiful appearance when Cheng Jin bullied him, his demeanor now resembled that of an arrogant young master after he put on the dress and applied light makeup to his face.


    Lian Wu turned around in front of the mirror, and said with satisfaction, ¡°Sure enough, Madam Ruilla¡¯s craftsmanship is excellent. The size fits perfectly, and the style is precisely what I want.¡±


    Cheng Jin crafted this dress with his own hands. The fact that ¡°Madam Ruilla¡± might be him, even if he wasn¡¯t very bright, was dawning on him now. But he had no time to consider it, as Lian Wu had already found a set of clothing and tossed it into his arms. ¡°Yes, change to this set, and then set off with me.¡±


    ¡°Servants¡± were not uncommon at orange floral banquets. When many people want to insult those who lost the bet, they let others be their servants on this day.


    Unfolding the clothes in his arms, Cheng Jin¡¯s face turned from white to red in a matter of seconds. ¡°M-Maid outfit?¡±

 CH 31

    The ¡®YouSi¡¯ family resides in the southeastern region of the imperial planet, facing its longest coastline. Among the top ten indigenous families in the country, it is undoubtedly one of the most well-known and respected. The YouSi family had one marshal, two admirals, and three generals, as opposed to the Yan and Rigel families, which each had one general and one lieutenant general. The fame of their head of the family, YouSi Kui, spread far and wide.


    This time, the orange floral banquet was hosted by YouSi Kui. Cheng Jin had met her before. She was an attractive and pleasant elderly woman who didn¡¯t look at all like a minister in the Criminal Law Department, but rather like the head of a women¡¯s group.


    Nearly all of the young men and women who were invited to the banquet intended to use it as a blind date in addition to a social gathering. But in recent years, due to the high cost of winning games, it has become a playground for the privileged youth of the wealthy.


    Attendees typically make an effort to dress formally for the banquet because photographers and reporters will be present to document the event; stunning photos may subsequently appear in print or online media.


    Cheng Jin used to work hard to find nice clothes for himself. His clothes were of high quality, and he had previously been photographed and featured in newspapers. Cheng Jin might have gotten the most attention that day if it hadn¡¯t been for a certain young master¡¯s ability to play games.


    But he could only wear a maid¡¯s outfit now.


    His clothes were the right size. When he wore it, it highlighted his waist perfectly.


    The ruffled neckline and full coverage of his chest were a nice touch, but the skirt was a bit too short to go with the white apron. His legs were wrapped in stockings and lace, and he wore a pair of black round-toed shoes with a small heel on his feet.


    Lian Wu even requested that he wear a headband made of white lace. He was obviously a man, but when he dressed like this, he exuded a certain feminine allure.


    Cheng Jin sat in the car¡¯s corner, his legs close together, his face flushed with embarrassment. He was itching to crawl into a hole and hide.


    He tightened his grip on the puffy skirt, but no matter how far he pulled it down, it could only cover half of his thighs, and he couldn¡¯t hide his figure. Lian Wu was overjoyed and asked deliberately, ¡°How is it? Are you pleased with this dress?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s clearly a male servant costume¡­¡± said Cheng Jin, embarrassed.


    ¡°Who asked you to wear that? Besides, you look great in those clothes. Your gang of scoundrels from the past will be surprised when they meet you, but I¡¯m not sure if someone will seize the opportunity and take advantage of Young Master Cheng.¡± Lian Wu smiled cheerfully. ¡°Of course, as your temporary master, I will do everything in my power to protect you.¡±

    Cheng Jin bit his lower lip but eventually got out of the car.


    Today was bright and sunny. Red carpets greeted them as they exited the vehicle, stretching all the way. Dressed to the nines in their finest, the young men and women who walked inside often stopped to chat with acquaintances they¡¯d met outside. Since he was a child, Cheng Jin had grown up on such occasions. He had never been afraid of a banquet before, but now he buried his face in his hands, wishing to hide his face. When Lian Wu ran into a familiar face, he joked around and chatted for a bit. The man was taken aback when he noticed the slender figure next to him with his head bowed. ¡°What? You also brought a maid this year?¡±


    ¡°Yeah.¡± Lian Wu smiled cheerfully. ¡°Who brought a maid here?¡±


    ¡°Henchman¡± games were played every year. Some would ask for help; some lost a bet or something else, or some were in sudden dire straits. The young masters and young ladies who used to come and go have become servants, which was a fun thing for this group of young men and women.


    The man said, ¡°Just ahead, let¡¯s go and see. By the way, introduce your maid. Let¡¯s see if we know each other.¡±


    When Cheng Jin heard this, he buried his head a little lower and grabbed the skirt tightly with both hands. But he has no way to escape. Since he had already agreed, he had to do it no matter what!


    They quickly entered the inner hall, which was more lively. The floor was covered with exquisite carpets, and they were decorated with many orange blossoms, making the house smell fragrant. But in fact, even if there were no flowers, the perfume sprayed on people¡¯s bodies was enough to make the room full of fragrance.


    Lian Wu has become a nouveau riche for the past two years and has found a good partner, so he¡¯s different from the past in terms of social interaction. Many people took the initiative to greet him, and one by one, they noticed the maid beside him. But Cheng Jin buried his head too low. He hadn¡¯t appeared in social situations for almost three years, so basically no one recognized him. There were probably two or three people who were puzzled, but for a while, they couldn¡¯t put a name on him.


    ¡°Master Lian, who is this?¡±


    Finally, someone couldn¡¯t hold back but ask. Lian Wu smiled. Seeing that there were enough people gathered, he pushed Cheng Jin and said, ¡°Young Master Cheng, raise your head ba. I remember, you have an acquaintance here, right? Come and say hello.¡±


    Cheng Jin was trembling all over and breathing was labored. The young master, who was coddled and eventually grew up, had never been in such an embarrassing situation since he was a child, but when it came to an end, he realized that he had actually grown a little because he could still stand in the same place without collapsing.


    Curious eyes gathered in greater numbers, and some people were already perplexed, ¡°Young Master Cheng? Which Young Master Cheng?¡±


    ¡°Huh, wouldn¡¯t it be Cheng Jin?¡±


    Cheng Jin closed his eyes and raised his head after hearing his name called by a familiar voice.


    His face flushed red and his vision blurred for a while, but he eventually made out the source of the gaze that was directed at him.  Teasing, mocking, and inquisitive¡­Lian Wu smiled and said, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s Young Master Cheng. He¡¯s my maid today.¡±


    Someone giggled. ¡°Young Master Lian really had evil tastes. Shouldn¡¯t he be dressed in men¡¯s clothes?¡±


    Lian Wu smiled and said, ¡°Master Cheng is petite. Isn¡¯t it only appropriate to wear a maid¡¯s outfit? If I didn¡¯t mention it, wouldn¡¯t he look like a girl from the back?¡±


    Someone laughed. ¡°Actually, he looks like a girl from the front, very cute.¡±


    Another one said, ¡°I remember the days when the Young Master Cheng got whatever he wanted. The scenery was breathtaking. Even if there was a young master of the Si family, he didn¡¯t have the same style as our Young Master Cheng here. No one could do anything about him, who told him to have a good big brother? I just don¡¯t know if Cheng Xu will be upset if he learns that his younger brother has become a maid.¡±


    ¡°Cheng Xu himself doesn¡¯t know about this now. How can he get his younger brother?¡±


    ¡°But didn¡¯t you hear that Young Master Cheng¡¯s partner has a high status? Why would he let him be humiliated like this?¡±


    ¡°Oh, you talk like you know who his partner is. If there had been such a partner, the Cheng family would not have collapsed like this.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, and Young Master Cheng didn¡¯t even have a wedding, so maybe he didn¡¯t get married at all.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. After all, Young Master Cheng is so bad-tempered that most people really don¡¯t dare and don¡¯t want to marry him.¡±


    A group of people were chatting, and those words poured into Cheng Jin¡¯s ears one after another, making him extremely embarrassed, but he was in a remote place, so there was nothing he could do but bear it. He pursed his lips and let others mock him, but luckily it was only mockery. Those people laughed at him and resumed holding Lian Wu in a fluttering fashion. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go see the old lady first.¡± He said after a while.


    YouSi Kui was the ¡°old lady¡± he was referring to. Not everyone who attended the banquet got to meet her, but since Lian Wu¡¯s partner had a close connection to the YouSi family, he always made an appearance. Cheng Jin remained in place as soon as he left. ¡°Quickly follow,¡± Lian Wu said again, turning his head.


    Cheng Jin had no choice but to follow.


    The story of the former young master of the Cheng family being someone else¡¯s maid quickly spread. Even though Cheng Jin kept his head down, many people came to see him for a joke, and some people who knew him before purposefully came to say hello to him. Lian Wu chuckled quietly. ¡°Consider how appealing you are. You¡¯re going to steal my thunder.¡±


    Cheng Jin bore the humiliation and remained silent, and Lian Wu added, ¡°Don¡¯t feel wronged or dissatisfied. . I wasn¡¯t any better than you are now when I was mocked by you. It¡¯s simply tit for tat.¡±


    They arrived quickly in a small hall. There were obviously fewer people present, and it was much quieter. The people seated appeared to be past their years, and the elderly lady in the center was YouSi Kui. She was clearly dressed up today, looking elegant and noble, with a lovely and tender orange blossom pinned to her hair. When Lian Wu saw her, he quickly performed the etiquette in an affectionate and respectful manner. YouSi Kui, too, smiled softly and said, ¡°Lian Wu, your clothes are stunning today. Where did you get them from?¡±


    Lian Wu smiled sweetly and said, ¡°It¡¯s an order from Madam Ruilla.¡±


    Yousi Kui was a little surprised. ¡°Madam Ruilla again? The skirt that Miss Qi was wearing just now was also very beautiful. When I asked, she also said that it was made by Madam Ruilla. Come to think of it, I¡¯m so ignorant. I don¡¯t know who they are and I haven¡¯t even heard of their name.¡±


    Lian Wu was a little embarrassed. ¡°I don¡¯t know about this. I just asked Andy from ¡®Fashion¡¯ to place the order.¡±


    Cheng Jin was still ashamed and was not in the mood to listen to them chatting. He just wanted all of this to end sooner. But the name ¡°Madam Ruilla¡± rang in his ears for the third time today, and when he heard Miss Qi¡¯s name, he was finally convinced that Andy seemed to have packaged himself as ¡°Madam Ruilla¡±.


    YouSi Kui smiled and said, ¡°It seems that I have to get in touch.¡± She noticed someone beside Lian Wu. She also knew the game of ¡°servant/maid,¡± and she didn¡¯t forbid it, because in her opinion, these were just a joke among young people, but today, for some reason, she felt compelled to ask, ¡°Who is that child beside you?¡±


    Cheng Jin was stunned, and his whole body tensed again. Lian Wu answered, ¡°It¡¯s the young master of the Cheng family. I joked with him that since he lost to me, he should be my maid for the day today.¡±


    ¡°The young master of the Cheng family?¡± YouSi Kui subconsciously looked at the face of a serious-looking old woman sitting next to her. ¡°Ah Jie, isn¡¯t Xiao Tao¡¯s partner the young master of the Cheng family?¡±


    When Cheng Jin heard the nickname ¡°Xiao Tao,¡± he couldn¡¯t help but raise his head. This time, his eyes fell on a familiar person, and when he met that person¡¯s eyes, Cheng Jin cried out, ¡°G-Grandmother?¡±

    There¡¯s also a distinction in Imperial Planet marriage law between ¡°being married¡± and ¡°to marry.¡± When a man and a woman get married, the woman becomes the man¡¯s wife. It¡¯s the same thing when a man marries a ¡°new female.¡± Additional applications could be submitted, but they would likely be denied unless there were exceptional circumstances.


    The goal when this law was first changed was to lessen the power of native families.


    After all, it didn¡¯t matter how lowly or poorly off the native families were, as long as they bore their surname, they were guaranteed a permanent home on this planet and access to the finest in welfare services. The Imperial Planet was extremely well-off. If a person obtains permanent residency, he or she can essentially live without working.


    However, such a large population would place a significant burden on the government. As a result, the legal law stated that if a native woman married a foreigner who was not an official or a member of a native family, the permanent residence privilege would be revoked, and the ability to live permanently on this planet would be measured by money or ability.


    Women from native families typically marry within their families or marry into other native families to obtain permanent residency. Take Yan Qi¡¯s mom and aunt as an example. One married a male family member, and the other married into the native Rigel family.


    There were, however, exceptions.


    Lu Tao¡¯s grandmother, for example, married outside the family. Her real surname was ¡°YouSi.¡± Although she was a branch of the family, she was also YouSi Kui¡¯s cousin.


    The old madame had an outlandish personality. She hadn¡¯t had much contact with her mother¡¯s family since marrying out; even Cheng Jin had forgotten about her relationship with the YouSi family. He had not expected to meet her at this time.


    The words ¡°I¡¯m done for¡± were displayed on his face. The icy stare of Cheng Jin¡¯s grandmother was a thousand times more humiliating than being the subject of widespread rumor.


    Cheng Jin was completely red-faced and speechless. He couldn¡¯t bear looking at her. When his eyes fell on her knees, he saw that her legs were covered with a blanket that he had given her, which made him feel a little more conflicted.


    Maybe their relationship could be eased a little if he wasn¡¯t humiliated right now?


    YouSi Kui laughed and said gently, ¡°It¡¯s really Xiao Cheng Jin! You look adorable in this outfit.¡±

    Lu Tao¡¯s grandmother frowned at him, while YouSi Kui smiled and said, ¡°Oh, this child has changed so much. Ah Jie, don¡¯t be angry, it¡¯s no big deal. Earlier today, my granddaughter lost to her older sister. She¡¯ll be a maid for the entire day. I think it looks pretty good.¡±


    The corner of the old madame¡¯s mouth twitched, and Lian Wu, who was standing on the side, realized what was going on. He was both shocked and nervous. He quickly replied, ¡°It¡¯s actually just a joke. If Young Master Cheng wants to change it, then-¡°


    ¡°I¡¯m not going to change!¡± Cheng Jin finally mustered the courage to raise his head. His voice, while not loud, was very powerful. ¡°This is a trade-off. I can¡¯t back out now that I¡¯ve already agreed!¡±


    He had never taken the initiative to take any responsibility in his life. A force was applied to his back, propelling him forward, even though he had never needed it before. The grievance he had imagined was insignificant in comparison to the true humiliation.


    For a brief moment, the small hall was deafeningly quiet. Lian Wu¡¯s expression was also tinged with embarrassment. Lu Tao¡¯s grandmother appeared surprised. When she looked at Cheng Jin, her demeanor was less icy.


    In the end, Si Kui was the one who smoothed things over. ¡°Okay, okay, let¡¯s not get involved in what the kids are doing. Lian Wu, if you have the time, please give me Madam Ruilla¡¯s contact information. I also want to ask her to sew me a beautiful dress. You guys go out first to play; there are many games today, and if you win, you will receive prizes.¡±


    Lian Wu couldn¡¯t say he didn¡¯t have Madam Ruilla¡¯s contact information, but the atmosphere around them was stiff, so he couldn¡¯t stay any longer and had to leave with a dry smile. Cheng Jin, on the other hand, was more composed. He bowed at them, and followed.


    When they arrived at a less crowded location, Lian Wu began to hop around. ¡°Yoyoyoyour partner is Lu Tao? General Lu Tao?! Why didn¡¯t you say so earlier?¡±


    Cheng Jin remained silent, but asked respectfully, ¡°Do you have any orders, Young Master Lian?¡±


    ¡°Stop stop stop! Our agreement ends here. I won¡¯t let you be a servant. You should get away from me quickly.¡±


    Cheng Jin refused. ¡°But our agreement is one day, and I have to keep my word. If you need anything, please tell me, and I will serve you.¡±


    Lian Wu was covered in goosebumps and couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, ¡°Have you gone insane? Weren¡¯t you reluctant to get out of the car?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll go get you champagne,¡± Cheng Jin replied. He turned and walked into the crowd, no longer burying his head, but with a calm demeanor and a normal pace. He naturally received a lot of surprised and mocking looks along the way. He didn¡¯t mind entirely, but he no longer felt the shame and resentment he had before.


    He had already learned to accept and bear responsibility.


    The drinks were all self-service at the banquet. But, of course, waiters were present to serve all of the guests. Cheng Jin discovered that he was not the only one dressed in this manner. Other men and women dressed as servants or maids were present, the most amusing of whom was a man who appeared to be from the Rigel family.


    He was a burly man, standing at over 1.9 meters, and he had a beard, but he was dressed like a maid. He could tell the outfit was too small for him because it squeezed his entire body. It looked like the fabric was about to tear at any moment. But, contrary to popular belief, he was completely unaffected by the stares of others. Only when the other party¡¯s gaze became too intense would he stretch out a cattail-leaf fan and slap it in his hands, then say, ¡°Are you enamored, dude? Yes? Do you wanna get knocked out?¡±


    The Rigel family was notorious for being warlike and possessing a formidable military force. The majority of those who attended the banquet were spoiled young ladies or young masters who didn¡¯t dare to antagonize him, so they all fled. He moved slowly to Cheng Jin¡¯s side, as if deciding which dessert to eat. After noticing Cheng Jin¡¯s outfit, he couldn¡¯t help laughing. ¡°Wow, this outfit looks great on you.¡±


    To talk to anyone else would make Cheng Jin feel awkward, but when the big man dressed similarly approached him, he immediately felt at ease. But he wasn¡¯t very good at conversing. He had intended to compliment the other party¡¯s attire as appropriate, but after looking at it, he couldn¡¯t, so he made a vague ¡°oh.¡± The big man didn¡¯t mind, and asked again, ¡°Who did you come with?¡±


    ¡°Lian Wu, Young Master Lian Wu.¡±


    ¡°Oh, I recognize him. He¡¯s Kosma¡¯s daughter-in-law.¡±


    ¡°Mhm¡­¡± After picking out the wine and getting ready to bring it to Lian Wu, Cheng Jin looked around but couldn¡¯t find Lian Wu anywhere. He eventually had to return to the buffet table. The big man had already started eating the cake. He enthusiastically handed over the plate. ¡°Would you like to try some?¡±


    Cheng Jin smiled and shook his head. ¡°No need, thank you.¡±


    ¡°This cake is delish.¡± The big man chewed, then suddenly remembered something. He exclaimed loudly, ¡°Oh, yes! My name is Eureka, Eureka Rigel.¡±


    ¡°My name is Cheng Jin,¡± Cheng Jin replied quickly.


    Eureka obviously didn¡¯t know him, but he was also obviously a talkative person, so he didn¡¯t seem unfamiliar at all, and continued, ¡°There will be a game session later. What activities do you want to take part in? I¡¯ve heard that today¡¯s prizes are quite lavish. I¡¯d like to receive the Sonne¡¯s Bakery one-year dessert supply voucher. The contest is wool knitting. I¡¯ve been practicing at home for a week, so I think I have a chance of winning.¡±


    Cheng Jin was at a loss for words. He had no idea about the banquet¡¯s game content or prizes. He did, however, have a strange feeling. ¡°Why is it wool knitting? I recall it used to be all about literature, painting abilities, poetry, and musical instruments.¡±


    Cheng Jin wasn¡¯t particularly skilled in any of these areas, but he still eagerly joined in on the first round. But after he got absolutely no place in the rankings, he was too ashamed to try again.


    ¡°Who knows.¡± Eureka shrugged. ¡°All of a sudden, fashion became a thing. I heard them all talking about a Madam Ruilla as I came along. Speaking of, Miss Qi¡¯s dress is so beautiful that it makes her bad temper less annoying to delve at.¡±


    Cheng Jin was now almost certain that he was the ¡°Madam Ruilla¡± they were referring to. All of the finished products that he had created were well received.


    Wasn¡¯t this an opportunity to make more money?


    Eureka patted Cheng Jin on the shoulder before he could think any further. ¡°Would you like to join us? You look like you¡¯ll be good at knitting with wool.¡±


    ¡°I-I still need to serve Young Master Lian¡­¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t he run off? Come on, let¡¯s sign up together. If you win the prize, you can give me the supply voucher. I¡¯ll buy it for 100,000.¡±


    As he grabbed him and pushed them both through the crowd, the big man said. Cheng Jin had intended to refuse, but after hearing the figure ¡°100,000,¡± he was unable to do so.


    Eureka obviously knew where the woolen competition was held. The competition preparations had been completed by the time they arrived, and the registration stage had begun. The people swarming around her were mostly women or ¡°new females.¡±


    Of course there were many men watching, because Eureka and Cheng Jin, who just arrived, were extremely eye-catching. Eureka didn¡¯t seem to mind their stares. He tapped the table with his large hand, and his voice was as clear as a bell. ¡°Cheng Jin and I will also participate.¡±


    His words elicited a burst of laughter, and more people naturally gathered to witness the spectacle. Cheng Jin noticed that reporters were taking photographs. He quickly covered his face with his hands. After a while, the person in charge gave each participant almost every kind of knitting needle and yarn ball that could be bought on the market. ¡°A knitted piece must be completed within two hours. You can do a variety of styles. It may include scarves, gloves, or other accessories. I will judge the final product when the time comes, and the winner will receive a Sonne¡¯s Bakery gift certificate for a year¡¯s worth of desserts. The game has now begun.¡±

    Because the banquet was also known as a free blind date banquet, most of the unmarried men invited to the banquet were young talents, so many still chose to participate in wool knitting, a quiet and virtuous competition, in order that women and ¡°new females¡± would be very suitable partners. After Cheng Jin sat down, he saw that even Miss Qi was taking part, just a few meters away.


    According to Cheng Jin¡¯s memory of the previous banquet, there were more people competing in the musical instrument competitions. That¡¯s why he agreed to take part. First and foremost, he hoped to win so that he could have a paid exchange with Eureka. Second, he thought his clothes were too eye-catching. Others might have noticed him less if he had sat down. He had not anticipated the game venue being so hot this year. Reporters were among the onlookers, and the six-tiered crowd both inside and outside was making him anxious.


    But, fortunately, there were a lot of materials on the table that could block some vision, and because he was sitting behind Eureka, the iconic majestic body of the Rigel family could completely cover his face, allowing him to relax.


    It was nearly impossible to finish a delicate task in two hours. If they choose to knit a scarf, even if they choose the simplest pattern, the time may be insufficient, so Cheng Jin considered it and decided to knit a sock.


    His level of wool knitting was a little higher than his level of sewing clothes. After all, Cheng Jin had been terrified of being pricked by needles in the beginning, so he preferred woolen orders. He was concerned about his father¡¯s medical bills at the time. He had been attempting to rush to work for several months. Perhaps he was gifted, or perhaps practice truly made perfect, as he could now recall many tricks clearly in his mind.


    Cheng Jin was still perplexed at first, fearful of being laughed at and of the reporter¡¯s camera pointing at him, but fortunately, the reporter had been circling Miss Qi the entire time. But when he gathered the materials he needed and grabbed his tools, he went completely silent, as if he were in his private ¡°studio¡± and had found his creative flow.


    He barely raised his head during the two hours, except when holding scissors or other objects, and he couldn¡¯t hear anyone else¡¯s voice. Not until the facilitator rang the bell and declared that time was up. He snapped out of his trancelike state and set down the items he was holding.


    More people showed up to watch. The person in charge smiled and began speaking. Eureka turned around and asked, ¡°How did you do? What did you make?¡±


    There was insufficient time. Cheng Jin had only enough time to complete one and a half socks. The other pair of socks was only halfway done. However, he remembered that the job only required ¡°one piece,¡± so he should be fine with just one sock. He showed Eureka his work. After taking it in his hands and mulling it over for a second, Eureka¡¯s eyes widened in surprise. ¡°You really just knit this and didn¡¯t buy it?¡±


    His voice was still as loud as a bell, and Cheng Jin had no idea how to muffle it. Cheng Jin blushed slightly and murmured, ¡°Yeah I did. How about you?¡±


    Eureka was quick to show him his work. ¡°I definitely lost.¡±


    Cheng Jin accepted the ¡®cloth.¡¯ It appeared to be a square and a rectangle, but it was about the length of his hand and had a crooked pattern on it. Cheng Jin examined it closely, but he was unable to identify the pattern. He paused for a moment before asking, ¡°Eureka, what is¡­¡±

    Cheng Jin and the others rushed to turn in their work. When the person in charge saw the sock, he was stunned for a moment, his eyes shining with admiration. After he left, an ecstatic Eureka proclaimed, ¡°Hey, you must be the winner today!¡±


    Cheng Jin had to be thankful that he knew how to control his voice this time. ¡°No, not necessarily.¡±


    ¡°Definitely, I swear!¡±


    When everyone saw how much work had been collected, curiosity grew. The evaluation period was brief. The person in charge simply looked over the collected works one by one before picking up Cheng Jin¡¯s sock and declaring loudly, ¡°I announce that the winning work this time is¡ªthis sock.¡±


    Everyone was quiet as they all looked at the sock. Only Eureka jumped up and clapped enthusiastically, saying, ¡°I knew it had to be you! So incredible!¡±


    The socks the person in charge was holding were identical to those sold outside. The color was scarlet, and the white wool outline was shaped in snowflakes, giving it a very warm appearance. However, the sock knitter¡¯s dexterity could only be felt due to the inability to tell the difference. After all, the machines used to make socks were extremely delicate as well.


    Eureka, who was still cheering, pulled Cheng Jin again, pushed him in front, and said, ¡°Hey, the winner is here. Xiao Cheng Jin, go get your gift. Remember our agreement.¡±


    Cheng Jin was taken aback by the situation. He never imagined he¡¯d one day win a game at the Orange Floral Banquet. If he had a tail in the past, he would fly up into the sky. But now he was just shy. After all, the clothes he was wearing now¡­ He could also hear other people talking. Some people recognized him as the young master of the Cheng family, and began to marvel at him. Their sneering expressions intensified.


    The person in charge smiled at him, with encouragement in his eyes. ¡°Come on, Young Master Cheng. Come and collect your prize.¡±


    As a result, Cheng Jin was compelled to lead the way. He didn¡¯t dare to walk too far to keep himself from fleeing. He then arrived ahead of the person in charge. He thanked him first and was about to accept the prize when a voice yelled out, ¡°Wait!¡± with unmistakable impatience.


    Cheng Jin drew his hand back, looked at the source of the sound, and saw a familiar skirt at a glance.


    The beautiful woman¡¯s beautiful starry skirt made a stunning impression. The radiant blue crystal beads could make the lobby lights eclipse even more, and the star-shaped brooch on the chest looked even more beautiful and luxurious, letting people know right away that this skirt was costly.


    It was Miss Qi who spoke.


    The person in charge was a middle-aged man. With a smile on the corner of his mouth, his tone was still very gentle, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Miss Qi?¡±


    Qi Mianmian yelled, ¡°He won the prize, but I¡¯m not going down without a fight! This prize should belong to me!¡±


    Her words caused an uproar at the scene and made people even more excited. The person in charge remained calm. In a pile of woolen knitwear, he found Qi Mianmian¡¯s work. It was a blue scarf with no patterns, woven with a relatively common knitting method. And, most likely due to time constraints, the stitches were a little sloppy, with many missing or added stitches, but the length was adequate. ¡°Miss Qi¡¯s scarf is not bad, but compared to this sock, it¡¯s a bit inferior,¡± the person in charge said with a smile before showing the scarf to everyone.


    Qi Mianmian said, ¡°You also said it¡¯s a sock! Who wears only one sock? If he came up with a pair, I¡¯ll consider it his win, but if he only has one pair, it can only be regarded as a semi-finished product! Didn¡¯t you say it at first? IT. NEEDS. TO. BE. A. PIECE. OF. WORK. And a sock is not A PIECE of work at all!¡±


    Her voice was strong and arrogant, and Cheng Jin looked at her and felt familiar, and after a while, he remembered that he used to speak to people this way.


    It¡¯s really hard to like this kind of person.


    Others also began to discuss. Qi Mianmian¡¯s words were not completely unreasonable, and the person in charge also felt a little embarrassed. He looked at Cheng Jin and asked, ¡°Young Master Cheng, the other sock¡­¡±


    Cheng Jin whispered, ¡°It¡¯s only halfway through, and it¡¯s not finished yet.¡± There wasn¡¯t really enough time.


    Qi Mianmian sneered. ¡°See, I¡¯m right.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re right!¡± The inserted voice belonged to Eureka. Because there were so many people at the scene, only his voice was as loud. He squeezed over and said loudly, ¡°The rule is A PIECE of work, and what Xiao Cheng Jin knitted is a sock. A SOCK. What¡¯s wrong with that? One sock is A PIECE of work, and two socks belong to two. So, Xiao Cheng Jin deserves to win!¡±


    Qi Mianmian glared at him angrily. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business, Rigel!¡±


    ¡°Of course it¡¯s my business. Xiao Cheng Jin is my friend!¡± Eureka said, and also took Cheng Jin¡¯s shoulder.


    Qi Mianmian said, ¡°That¡¯s the kind of person you are, Rigel! Big hearted! Rude! Doesn¡¯t know etiquette! It¡¯s honestly ridiculous to dress like that! Are you friends with him because he has the same attire as you? Honestly, you shouldn¡¯t have come to the competition, you should be pouring wine while you¡¯re on your knees!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re so irritating. It¡¯s none of your business what we wear. Also, there¡¯s no rule that says we can¡¯t participate in the competition.¡± Eureka was not afraid of her temper and glared at her with venom.


    Qi Mianmian mocked, ¡°I won¡¯t say anything about you, but the person you¡¯re protecting¡­ if he wasn¡¯t dressed in such a pornographic manner, he¡¯d be ineligible to attend this banquet, right? His family was bankrupt, and their family of three were like a rat crossing the street¡ªno one could avoid them. Tell me, Cheng Jin, did you dress like this on purpose to attract men? Want to marry a good husband and stay on the Imperial Planet forever? Maybe this isn¡¯t a wild hope. Don¡¯t you have a good candidate next to you? As long as the people who marry into the Rigel family can endure their vulgarity and uncouth manner, they can stay here forever.¡± She burst out laughing after speaking, which elicited laughter from those around her.


    Cheng Jin was originally pulling his skirt up to avoid being exposed, but hearing her taunt at this very moment made his face flush with shame, and he didn¡¯t know how to respond. Eureka clenched his fists in fury and was about to roar when a voice rang out, ¡°As my legal partner, he has the title of Madam General. He doesn¡¯t need any other means to stay on this planet.¡±

    Lu Tao was undoubtedly a bright figure at the military command. In five years, he went from being an average soldier to being a general, setting a new world record. His biggest accomplishment in the past was saving the inhabitants of a tiny planet. His most renowned feat was single-handedly wiping out hundreds of wolf-race murderers in a single combat. After each of his victories, his name would be front and center in the newspapers. That¡¯s why, despite his brief stay on the Imperial Planet, he was well-known to everyone.


    Women, on the other hand, were drawn to him because of his outstanding beauty. In particular, he had a picture of himself in military garb; his attractive eyebrows and icy attitude were enough to make anybody scream. Some female celebrities said outright, ¡°My ideal type is General Lu Tao,¡± and he even had a ¡°fan circle¡± to gather his images or information in secret.


    He announced his marriage in one of his official interviews, but he didn¡¯t state who his spouse was or whether they were a female or a ¡°new female.¡±


    Some minor publications even went to dig it up, but they didn¡¯t uncover any relevant information. They just made up some sensational rumor and published it, which sparked a heated debate.


    Because they couldn¡¯t discover their target, many people believed that General Lu Tao¡¯s claim that he was ¡°married¡± was really a ruse to appease his fervent supporters. In fact, he may not even be married.


    But suddenly he appeared in front of everyone, stretched out his arms and embraced the young master of the Cheng family, whom everyone believed had fallen into the dust, and announced the words ¡°my legal partner.¡±


    This shocking announcement stunned bystanders, particularly those who had previously made insulting and ridiculing comments. Really, it was inconceivable. Qi Mianmian¡¯s eyes were stretched beyond imagination, her lovely eyeballs practically falling out of their sockets.


    Cheng Jin was likewise taken aback, not only taken aback but also agitated.


    What to do? Lu Tao saw him dressed like this!


    And he also said the relationship between them was on the spot. In this instance, Cheng Jin was simply disgracing him, right?


    Cheng Jin hid his head once more and held his skirt with both hands. His cheeks were flushed with humiliation, and his thoughts were racing. Lu Tao placed his hand on his shoulder and gently squeezed it. ¡°You didn¡¯t even tell me you came here?¡± he whispered in his ear.


    Cheng Jin shook and responded, ¡°S-Sorry¡­¡±


    When the lord general saw his small wife¡¯s scarlet ears, his mouth became dry. Qi Mianmian interrupted him before he could say anything by asking, ¡°Y-You guys are really legal partners?¡±


    With his eyelids raised, Lu Tao looked about. His gaze was frigid, yet his tone was calm. ¡°What? Do I need to show you my marriage certificate?¡±


    A flush of redness followed by pallor spread over Qi Mianmian¡¯s face. Suddenly, a voice came over and said, ¡°I heard there was a disagreement about the results of the competition here. Let me take a look.¡± It was YouSi Kui.

    The attire did nothing to enhance her sexual allure; if anything, it made her appear more adorable.


    Cheng Jin eventually ventured to lift his head, but when he did, he saw that not only was his husband there, but so was Asher. Asher grinned at him as their gazes crossed, and then said hello to Eureka behind him. Cheng Jin blushed as he smiled at him, still cognizant of what he was wearing. He concealed from his husband unconsciously.


    The leader expressed his welcome and provided a quick summary of the recent events. Upon hearing this, YouSi Kui gave a little nod and chuckled, ¡°Show me the two completed items.¡±


    She was given the scarf and socks. She gave it a quick once-over before declaring, ¡°In this competition, the socks win.¡± She then turned to Qi Mianmian with a smile on her face. ¡°Do you have any objections, Miss Qi?¡±


    Qi Mianmian was haughty, but she wasn¡¯t foolish, and she didn¡¯t dare to cause problems in front of YouSi Kui. ¡°No objections,¡± she answered, pouting.


    You Sikui smiled and said, ¡°Okay, then give the present to Xiao Cheng Jin.¡± She walked up to Cheng Jin. ¡°Xiao Cheng Jin, your handiwork is excellent; I was wondering if you could complete knitting the other half of the sock and give me the pair?¡±


    ¡°Of course I can,¡± Cheng Jin said, thrilled and eager to be honored in public. He even gave birth to a little amount of knowledge. ¡°D-Doesn¡¯t the Madame still want a customized outfit? I can design one for you as well.¡±


    YouSi Kui was a bit taken aback. ¡°You can make dresses as well?¡±


    ¡°Mhm, a bit¡­¡± Cheng Jin braced himself. ¡°It¡¯s a hobby in my spare time.¡± In the end, he didn¡¯t dare to directly say that he was ¡°Mrs. Ruilla¡± in public because his previous actions were considered to be on the borderline of illegal, and if he was reported by a conscientious person, he might have dragged Andy down. Although Andy used him to make money, it would have been difficult for Cheng Jin to get through the difficulties in his situation without Andy¡¯s help.


    If he could please YouSi Kui this time, he could introduce orders via her in the future, and his labor fees wouldn¡¯t be exploited.


    ¡°Looking at how nicely your socks are knitted, you must also have the talent to accomplish something else,¡± You SiKui stated warmly. ¡°Thank you in advance.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t mention it.¡± Cheng Jin said quickly.


    Cheng Jin was a little excited as the gift voucher was delivered to him, almost forgetting that he had made a fool of himself in public. YouSi Kui said, ¡°Let¡¯s keep playing. There are still numerous events going on today. You¡¯re not here very often, Xiao Tao. You can try the scooter competition. I think you can win the championship.¡±


    Lu Tao replied, ¡°Asher brought me here just to try the scooter.¡±


    YouSi Kui smiled. ¡°That¡¯s good. Asher, where¡¯s Ah Li?¡±


    Asher responded, ¡°He lost the mecha competition, so he¡¯s sulking.¡±


    ¡°Tut, it¡¯s progress.¡± YouSi Kui smiled, beckoned to everyone, and left with her little granddaughter Shi Shiran.


    Onlookers who had been watching the commotion scattered and moved to other venues. Qi Mianmian also stormed out in rage. Lu Tao¡¯s eyes once again landed on his wife¡¯s face as he scanned his body back and forth and said in a solemn tone, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you have explained it once?¡±


    Eureka came over excitedly just as Cheng Jin was going to explain. ¡°Xiao Cheng Jin, can we make a deal now?¡±


    Lu Tao scowled, and his tone was hushed. ¡°What deal?¡±


    Cheng Jin flushed and waved his hand rapidly. ¡°No, it¡¯s not like that. Eureka wants to buy my dessert voucher. We¡¯ve already made a deal.¡±


    The lord general¡¯s jealousy flared up again as he looked at the tall and powerful guy in front of him. ¡°You fought so hard to get first place only to hand over the prize to him?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not ¡®giving,¡¯ it¡¯s selling,¡± Cheng Jin emphasized.


    ¡°No can do.¡±


    Cheng Jin was taken aback and terrified. ¡°Why not?¡±


    ¡°I gave you all the awards I earned in contests; you should give me all the rewards you win!¡± Lu Tao exclaimed, leaning closer to Cheng Jin¡¯s ear and lowering his voice. ¡°You can ask me for money if you need it, and I¡¯ll give you as much as you need.¡±


    Cheng Jin was taken aback. For a brief period, he felt that what he had stated before was perfectly acceptable, but he was apprehensive. He had, after all, promised Eureka. Eureka was also concerned. ¡°Hey, dude, how can you not follow your promise? We¡¯ve already agreed earlier. Xiao Cheng Jin, would you give it to me? I¡¯ll pay 100,000¡ªno, 150,000 to purchase it!¡± he said.


    Eureka Rigel made a threatening stare. He even made a fist. Cheng Jin wasn¡¯t worried that Eureka would beat himself up. He hesitated for a while before saying, ¡°Eureka, I only want 50,000, but can I give you this voucher one day later? I-I¡¯ll take my husband for a tasting first and then pass it on to you. He was a little worried, ¡°C-Can I pass it on? ¡°


    ¡°You can,¡± Asher, who had been watching the excitement, replied. The blonde man smiled and said, ¡°Lord General, you don¡¯t like sweets, so why do you have to fight my didi? He¡¯s a child who will cry if he doesn¡¯t eat dessert all day.¡±


    Eureka blushed, raised his fist and waved in front of him. ¡°Who are you calling a child?¡±


    Cheng Jing was a little surprised. ¡°Eureka is your younger brother?¡±


    Asher smiled. ¡°Yes, my didi.¡±


    Cheng Jin couldn¡¯t believe that the man who was as handsome as a deity and the other man whose facial features could only be described as rough, were actually blood brothers. He even raised an impolite question, ¡°Same father and mother?¡±


    ¡°Of course.¡± Asher didn¡¯t blame him for his rudeness at all. He had been questioned so many times that he was used to it. ¡°After a DNA test, we are indeed brothers with the same mother and father.¡±


    Looking at the faces of the two people, Cheng Jin had a deeper understanding of the phrase ¡°Beauty and the Beast¡±.


    Lu Tao eventually consented to the dessert coupon transfer, and Eureka had no objections to Cheng Jin¡¯s judgment. They began to walk to the scooter competition venue. Around the hour mark, Cheng Jin had tracked down Lian Wu and was about to ask him what service he needed when Lian Wu suddenly panicked and almost ran away. Cheng Jin got hold of him, preventing him from fleeing. Lian Wu was helpless and could only say, ¡°I don¡¯t need your service anymore. In fact, I lied to you. That bead is all yours. I took it off my clothes because I wanted to humiliate you once.¡±


    Cheng Jin was taken aback. Even though he hadn¡¯t considered it, he had some reservations. ¡°But you certainly had two in your hand at the time¡­


    ¡°I got another one from my husband.¡± Lian Wu had to explain himself fully. ¡°His father was the one who discovered this kind of ore in the first place. After turning the ore into crystal beads, he kept one as a souvenir and sold the rest, so he had money to settle on the Imperial Planet. He later gave the bead to my husband, and my husband gave it to me¡­¡±


    Cheng Jin released the hand holding his arm and said dumbly, ¡°Then can I¡­ can I change my clothes now?¡±


    ¡°Sure, of course. You were allowed to change it long ago.¡± Lian Wu grumbled and rubbed his arm, but seeing the Lord General not far away, he didn¡¯t dare to linger any longer and rushed away.


    Cheng Jin walked back to his husband and whispered, ¡°I¡¯ve finished my agreement. I¡¯ll find a place to change my clothes first.¡± He came in Lian Wu¡¯s car, so his previous clothes were still at Lian Wu¡¯s home. Now it seemed that he would have to locate someone from the YouSi family to borrow a change of clothing. He was ready to locate someone when Lu Tao grabbed his arm.


    Cheng Jin was a little puzzled. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    The general pretended to be calm and said, ¡°No need to change.¡±


    Cheng Jin blushed and asked in a low voice, ¡°Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s v-very embarrassing for me to dress like this?¡±


    Lu Tao¡¯s brow furrowed. ¡°I simply think it¡¯s adorable.¡± Then he used his fingers to pull at the lace on Cheng Jin¡¯s clothing.

    The name ¡°scooter¡± may make this mode of transportation seem easy to learn, but in practice, it can be rather challenging, particularly when it comes to water scooters. Ordinary individuals may need 2-3 months to learn, and others may need more than three years to become competent. It is propelled by wind energy. Its frame was very lightweight, and it could only carry a single rider. The design was similar to that of a standard automobile. All controls are on the right-hand handle, and if you twist it, it will accelerate and achieve a maximum speed of 120 mph.


    However, few would really attempt to achieve such a goal. The braking mechanism would not take action quickly since the scooter was light and speedy. If an accident happens at high speeds, it is quite likely that the riders will be killed. When the scooter neared the water, it would retract its little wheels, like a ¡°sail.¡± It would be more like floating on water than riding on it. It takes a good sense of balance to master. As a result, although there were not many individuals engaging in the water scooter as a game project, there were many people observing.


    The majority of contestants were males, with just two women among them, which was notable. When the participants came out, the crowd screamed, particularly the girls and ¡°new females,¡± practically breaking their necks.


    Cheng Jin had never seen a scooter race before, but now that he had, he knew why they yelled.


    It was really¡­ He, too, wanted to shout.


    The image of a row of half-naked guys with fantastic physiques emerging together was disorienting, and he had no idea where to look. Cheng Jin, of course, stared at his partner first. Lu Tao was not the tallest or strongest of the group, but his physique was the most appealing. Under the sunlight, his wheat-colored skin gleamed softly. His shoulders were wide, his waist tight, and his physique was sleek and proportionate. He was neither muscular like the Rigel family nor skinny, but rather a well-defined block. The approaching mermaid line made people¡¯s lips dry under the unmistakable abdominal muscles.


    Participants often wear swimsuits during competitions so that they may cut down on the amount of resistance they face throughout the event to the greatest extent feasible. Men will directly wear swim trunks.


    ¡°Fuck, if I¡¯d known sooner, I¡¯d be here too.¡± Eureka¡¯s tone was laden with sadness as he heard the women¡¯s gasps of appreciation.


    Cheng Jin chuckled and said, ¡°Asher is greeting you.¡±


    Asher was certainly waving to them. He was also a dominant figure amid a bunch of half-naked males. His long blond hair remained braided behind his ear. His face was so pale that it glowed in the light, and his eyebrows were so deeply etched with charm that they were more attractive than the eldest lady of the YouSi family, who stood by his side.


    Eureka sighed. ¡°There¡¯s no difference, it¡¯s all two eyes and one mouth.¡±


    ¡°You really¡­¡± Cheng Jin was dumbfounded. He instantly realized there was another member of the crew. It was Yan Qi. Yan Qi¡¯s towering figure stood out among the crowd, and just by looking at him, he would never have guessed that Yan Qi¡¯s body was so powerful, his muscles were full, and his eight-pack abs appeared firm. ¡°He and Asher¡­wouldn¡¯t be kept by mistake, right?¡± Cheng Jin couldn¡¯t help but wonder.


    The tournament had not yet begun when the players appeared. They seemed to be still prepping. During this period, Lu Tao and Asher came over.


    Cheng Jin¡¯s cheeks blushed even more as he saw his spouse draw closer. He yanked on the hem of his skirt again, unconsciously. The number of people¡¯s gazes that landed on him grew after what had happened before, but this time it was not to scorn or ridicule him; rather, they were shocked and even jealous.

    Lu Tao¡¯s tone was tinged with envy. ¡°I asked you to cheer for me. Where did your eyes go just now?¡±


    Cheng Jin hastily glanced up, wanting to establish his innocence, but his partner¡¯s eyes were filled with grins. He was relieved when he learned he was kidding. Asher approached him and smiled, saying, ¡°I just noticed Xiao Jin staring at me.¡±


    Cheng Jin was astonished for a minute, trying to reject it but being wordless. Lu Tao glared at his partner and said, ¡°It was just a casual glance.¡±


    The two started joking. Cheng Jin noticed that Yan Qi was also heading over, expecting that he wouldn¡¯t say anything nice. Just when he was thinking about how to deal with it, Yan Qi suddenly raised his wrist, quickly opened his light screen, adjusted to the shooting picture, and pressed the shutter on Cheng Jin. Cheng Jin¡¯s eyes widened, and he said suspiciously, ¡°W-Why are you taking a picture of me?¡±


    Yan Qi raised the corners of his mouth, ¡°Your clothes look so ridiculous, of course, I took it and sent it to your gege to appreciate.¡±


    ¡°Hey!¡± Cheng Jin felt embarrassed and tried to seize his wrist, but when Yan Qi lifted his hand, he couldn¡¯t. This wicked individual also purposefully opened the light screen in front of him and displayed the transmitted symbol. ¡°It was already sent.¡±


    ¡°Yan Xiao Qi!¡± Cheng Jin stomped his feet in anger, but out of the corner of his eye, he vaguely felt something was wrong.


    Although he only glanced at the communication information on the photo, why did he seem to see the words ¡°eat well¡±?


    It¡¯s too strange for this dialogue to appear between Yan Qi and his brother, isn¡¯t it?


    Before he could think about it, Lu Tao had already stood in front of him, frowning at Yan Qi. ¡°Young Master Yan, Xiao Jin is my partner, please don¡¯t take photos of him casually.¡±


    ¡°Ah, I deleted it after I sent it.¡± Yan Qi responded lazily and added, ¡°I¡¯m not interested in him, Lord General. If I was, we would have been married long ago.¡±


    If you¡¯re not interested, don¡¯t come here ah!!!


    Cheng Jin roared in his heart, his face turning pale. Lu Tao frowned and glared at Yan Qi. He was about to say something when an announcement came that the game was about to start.


    Seeing that his partner was going to make preparations, Cheng Jin quickly said, ¡°Jiayou, husband!¡± Then added, ¡°Don¡¯t get hurt.¡±


    The lord general¡¯s expression only softened then. He pinched his cheek again, and said with a light smile, ¡°Wait for your husband to bring you the prize.¡±


    When they started to prepare, Cheng Jin asked Eureka, ¡°What¡¯s the prize for this competition?¡±


    ¡°Great Master Quan¡¯s posthumous work, a necklace with blue gems embedded in it. It¡¯s called a Sea Casket.¡± Eureka replied casually, obviously still lamenting for not participating in this game competition.


    ¡°Ah¡­¡± Cheng Jin was stunned. ¡°As expected of the YouSi family, it¡¯s really a literary piece.¡±


    The scooter was a remarkably significant feat in science and technology since it utilised aerodynamic energy and included an internal kinetic energy conversion system. Strictly speaking, as long as it was running, it would never run out of electricity because as it moved ahead, it would capture wind and turn it into energy, allowing people to utilize the automobile. This innovation was very powerful, but since only one person could use it and mastering it was extremely tough, it did not become widely known across the globe. After all, people have more efficient and pleasant modes of transportation. Most individuals would not choose to ride scooters if they were not looking for thrill.


    So the scooter has essentially become a tool for competitions.


    After the command was given, the participants started their machines one after another and surged towards the magnificent ocean. The content of the competition was very simple. Just follow the established road, from the starting point to a small island 50 kilometers away from here, sign the name on the signature table above, and then go back the same way. The first person to arrive would be the winner.


    There was satellite monitoring throughout the competition, and those who weren¡¯t participating could sit on the balcony or in the hall and watch from the huge light screen.


    The round-trip distance was only 100 kilometers. Normally, the results of the game could be obtained within an hour.


    Those who dared to participate in the competition were all proficient in scooters. After just two minutes, people could no longer see the contestants¡¯ figures with their eyes. When Eureka saw them set off, he was a little bit intrigued. ¡°I¡¯ll go see if there are any other games.¡±


    Cheng Jin didn¡¯t move, and said, ¡°Go, I¡¯ll wait for my husband to come back.¡±


    Just as Eureka was about to leave, he heard a specially invited commentator shouting, ¡°The first player to overturn has appeared, we have the first player who overturned!!! It¡¯s Qi Kongkong, the young master of the Qi family. What a pity, he went ten kilometers ahead and fell down during a sideslip.¡±


    The screen also showed Qi Kongkong falling down. The scooter seemed to be light and ingenious, but when it fell, it stirred up a wave, which scared some watchers. Fortunately, Qi Kongkong was quickly pulled up by the rescue team. Eureka raised his eyebrows. ¡°I¡¯d better stay here, it doesn¡¯t look bad.¡±


    Cheng Jin became nervous. He had a deep understanding of his husband and he even joined his ¡°fan group¡±. However, there was too little effective information that was collected about Lu Tao. He only knew that his husband could scoot, but he didn¡¯t know exactly how he drove it. He clenched his palms tightly, his voice trembling a little, ¡°Is the strength of falling down so great? There¡­wouldn¡¯t be an accident, right?¡±


    Eureka didn¡¯t understand his mood at all, and said, ¡°When I was studying, I almost broke my head once.¡±


    ¡°Ah¡­¡± Cheng Jin panicked even more, but fortunately, everyone present could connect to the video of this game on their screens, and they could also select whose individual players they¡¯d watch. He quickly turned on the light screen and found Lu Tao¡¯s exclusive camera. After clicking on it, he was finally relieved to see the figure still steady on the scooter. But before he could relax, his heart tightened again.


    Lu Tao drove so fast!


    Judging from the speed next to him, he¡¯s already driving 115 miles!


    This number made Cheng Jin¡¯s face pale, and he couldn¡¯t help but grab Eureka, ¡°W-Why is he driving so fast¡­ It¡¯s too dangerous.¡±


    ¡°In order to win the first place, why else?¡± Eureka said with a ¡°why are you suddenly acting stupid¡± expression. ¡°Can¡¯t you see? My cousin is chasing after him.¡±


    Cheng Jin did see the figure closely following Lu Tao, but his mind was in a confused state that he couldn¡¯t tell who it was for a while. He knew it was Yan Qi when he heard Eureka saying ¡®cousin¡¯. His heart was in turmoil. Every time Lu Tao went up and down with the waves, his teeth would grit. He wasn¡¯t excited to witness the stimulating competition; instead, he was scared and worried.


    The participants were returning at an unusually rapid pace. When they halted, three of them fell out, and when they got back up, they couldn¡¯t catch up to the folks in front of them. Finally, just three individuals ran ahead of the pack.


    ¡°The speed limit has been used! General Lu Tao, Young Master Yan Qi and Lieutenant General Asher Rigel all used the limit speed! 120 miles! I can already see their figures! So fast! Come! Come! They have passed the checkpoint and are docking! Docked successfully! Now, let¡¯s see who the winner is! The winner is ¡ª it¡¯s General Lu Tao!¡±


    The narrator¡¯s passionate voice surrounded the entire banquet, and after uttering the name, the audience cheered.


    Cheng Jin was stunned, his legs softened, and if he hadn¡¯t held the railing, he would have collapsed right there.

    It was nearly time for supper once the game concluded. The YouSi family¡¯s dining hall was enormous. Three long tables were put up, and the tables were piled high with delicacies such as appetizers and meals. Then there were sweets, as well as a variety of fruits, and the prized honey grapes were stacked up here as well. The vast majority of young men and women, especially young ladies, are reserved. They just consume enough to feed a little bird. And if someone was eating or drinking, under careful identification, that person must be a Rigel family member.


    Cheng Jin and Lu Tao did not attend the dinner. They had already boarded the returning aircraft.


    The aircraft was intended for military usage. Under Lu Tao¡¯s name, the sealing and privacy performance were top notch. It glided smoothly and steadily in the air, and when it got to a traffic light, it stopped on its own.


    There were two persons onboard the plane, and neither of them felt like taking the controls at that time.


    Cheng Jin was shoved against the tiny hatch after being brought onto the aircraft. The towering man¡¯s eyes were clearly filled with lust. After sucking his lips, he gazed at him intently, as if he were trying to decide whether or not to devour him. Cheng Jin was embarrassed by his stare. He put his hand against Lu Tao¡¯s chest, wanting to push him away, but he couldn¡¯t, so he could only murmur, ¡°L-Let¡¯s do it once we get back home, okay?¡±


    ¡°Not okay.¡± The man approached him once again and nibbled his lower lip. ¡°I¡¯m hard.¡± He brought Cheng Jin¡¯s palm to touch it. He started by tugging at Cheng Jin¡¯s clothing laces, acting as if he enjoyed doing so. ¡°Really cute.¡±


    Cheng Jin reddened and felt compelled to grab at his skirt. The skirt he was wearing today was excessively short, and as he walked, the lace suspender was often exposed, so he would pull the skirt up every now and again to keep it from scooping up. But as soon as he moved, his husband¡¯s hand shot out and immediately touched the inside of his skirt, grasped his ass, and stroked it furiously.


    ¡°Nnh¡­.¡± His desire was readily provoked. Only the heat of his husband¡¯s hand registered on Cheng Jin¡¯s skin, and it seemed as if it could melt him. His palm stroked hard and then touched his front. His fingers pushed in from the edge of his underwear, brushing Cheng Jin¡¯s flaccid cock and gradually erecting it. Cheng Jin eventually closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around his husband¡¯s neck, offering his own crimson lips.


    Not only did Lu Tao want him, but Cheng Jin also wanted this man.


    The moment Cheng Jin saw Lu Tao appear in front of him, the moment he saw him win, and the moment he handed him the gift with a smile¡­ Cheng Jin¡¯s only thought was to hold on to this moment and fight to the death with this man.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid of exposing yourself when you¡¯re dressed so cutely?¡±


    Hearing the jealousy in her husband¡¯s tone, Cheng Jin whispered, ¡°I¡¯ve been paying attention¡­ I¡¯ve been covering my skirt¡­¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s even more eye-catching. People can¡¯t help but want to look at your butt.¡± Lu Tao bit his lip hard, as if to punish him. He bit Cheng Jin¡¯s lip to the point of tears. Lu Tao added, ¡°The stockings on your legs are also very sexy.¡± His hand touched Cheng Jin¡¯s leg wrapped in stockings, then he stroked his thighs back and forth in a very erotic way of caressing. ¡°Makes me want to fuck you.¡±


    If others heard this, no one would know whether they¡¯d be shocked or scream. After all, no one could imagine that the lord general, who was known for his indifference, could actually say such a thing.

    His little wife¡¯s active response made the lord general excited, but his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said deliberately, ¡°So skilled? Didn¡¯t you dislike using this posture?¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s face flushed red, like a round apple, making people want to take a bite. He whispered, ¡°There is a mirror so I can see my husband¡­ Isn¡¯t there no lubricant? It¡¯s easier to expand¡­¡±


    In fact, what was in front of him was not a mirror but glass. But because the entire aircraft was set to privacy mode, he couldn¡¯t see the outside, and the glass could reflect the silhouettes of two people. Cheng Jin licked Lu Tao¡¯s fingers obediently with his fleshy tongue. He quickly licked Lu Tao¡¯s two fingers until they were wet, and then shyly said, ¡°Y-you can now¡­¡±


    Lu Tao smiled lowly and said, ¡°I¡¯ve got a lubricant.¡±


    Cheng Jin was stunned. ¡°Where did¡­it come from?¡±


    ¡°Asked Ah Li for it.¡± Ah Li¡¯s full name is YouSi Li. He was YouSi Kui¡¯s youngest nephew. He was about the same age as Lu Tao and the others. He played best with Asher, and recently, he got along well with Lu Tao. Lu Tao took out a tube of lubricant from his pocket and deliberately shook it in front of Cheng Jin.


    Cheng Jin¡¯s face turned even redder, and he even wished to find a hole to burrow in.


    ¡°Y-You asked him for this¡­ Doesn¡¯t he know about u-us¡­¡±


    ¡°What about us? We are legal partners.¡± That¡¯s right. He was teased, but the Lord General didn¡¯t take it to heart.


    Cheng Jin¡¯s face was still very red, even his breath was a little hot, and his eyes were almost dripping wet with shame. Lu Tao had already opened the cover of the lubricant. He squeezed the white liquid into the palm of his hand and said, ¡°Lift up your skirt.¡±


    Cheng Jin had been tugging his skirt down all day, but now that he was in front of his husband, he took the initiative to hoist his skirt and raise his buttocks a bit higher. His skin was as pale as the snow, and a little pink hole loomed in the midst of his round buttocks; with his legs spread wider, he could get a better look.


    It¡¯s already a bit drenched.


    When a ¡°new female¡± is in estrus, the womb secretes sexual fluid, but it is insufficient to function as lubricant and usually necessitates the expansion of the lubricant. Cheng Jin shook when the white secretions were spread over him. Because the temblor was so cute, Lu Tao couldn¡¯t help biting his buttocks.


    ¡°Hmp¡­¡± This was hardly a hefty mouthful. Cheng Jin¡¯s throat moaned like a little animal, and he sheepishly cried out ¡°husband.¡± Lu Tao looked at him intently and then put his middle finger inside his steamy flesh.


    Since he lost his memories, they engaged in sexual activity often. They had been singing practically every night. Only lately, when Lu Tao was dragged to compete in certain competitions, did the number of times they did it reduce, but Cheng Jin was also used to the invasion. It wasn¡¯t like before, that even after seven years of marriage, every time the small hole was used, it was like a virgin that had yet to bloom.


    His husband¡¯s fingers were long and thick, and when he fully pushed them in, Cheng Jin¡¯s waist was completely pliant. He could only hold on to a bar beside the hatch door to support his body while moaning very thinly. Lu Tao left various hickeys on his butt, and whispered, ¡°So beautiful.¡±


    In addition to the deep joy in Cheng Jin¡¯s heart from being praised, there was also some sadness. No matter when, he couldn¡¯t stop thinking of the ¡°expiration date¡±. As long as he thinks that his husband will return to indifference when facing him soon, he¡¯ll feel uncomfortable.


    ¡°You¡¯re not paying attention. What are you thinking about?¡± Lu Tao was keenly aware of his distraction and rubbed his fingers on his sensitive areas in dissatisfaction. Cheng Jin let out a whimper and shook his head vigorously. ¡°I¡¯m not distracted. I¡¯ve been thinking about my husband¡­¡±


    Lu Tao squeezed his second finger in. ¡°Thinking of the old me?¡±


    Cheng Jin closed his eyes. A tear rolled down his cheeks uncontrollably, and he gave a soft hum in agreement. Lu Tao suddenly said, ¡°Don¡¯t think about it!¡±


    Cheng Jin was stunned, ¡°Why?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m jealous!¡± Lu Tao put on a jealous look and even leaned over and bit his lips.


    The tingling sensation made Cheng Jin pull away from his sadness. His eyes widened. ¡°Why¡­ it¡¯s obviously still you ah¡­¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t have any memory of the past, so I can¡¯t think of us as the same person.¡± Lu Tao declared his desire to monopolize him. ¡°So you can only think of me now!¡±


    Too much novel conversation sometimes made Cheng Jin torn. He felt that he was just getting along with someone who looked like his husband, but the one within had changed.


    But he loved it!


    This man was no longer indifferent to him. He would love him, kiss him, hug him, and be jealous. Getting along with him was simply his best dream.


    ¡°Still thinking?¡±


    Cheng Jin hurriedly shook his head, pursed his lips, and kissed him back. ¡°No. I miss my husband now¡­¡± His eyelashes trembled, and he whispered, ¡°Enough is enough, you can, you can come in¡­¡± He raised his butt a little higher, full of invitation.


    The bright red hole was already wet, and the smeared liquid looked like some kind of bodily fluid. Lu Tao¡¯s breathing turned messy. He pulled his fingers out, started to unzip, then took out his thick and long shaft. He pointed it against the narrow hole, rubbed it a few times on the buttocks, and then pushed his shaft in.


    ¡°Ah¡­.¡± The thrill of being filled made Cheng Jin want to cry. He grabbed the hatch tightly but was reluctant to close his eyes and stared at their figures on the glass obsessively.


    His husband was fucking him, and he also showed a pleasant look.


    Thinking that he could make Lu Tao happy, Cheng Jin¡¯s little hole shrunk subconsciously, and a lingering lewd scream came out of his throat. ¡°Husband¡­husband¡­¡± And he praised in a very shy tone, ¡°Husband is so big¡­aahh¡­¡°


    The general showed a pleasant smile and said deliberately, ¡°Isn¡¯t it long?¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s face turned red. ¡°It¡¯s too long¡­it¡¯s so deep¡­it¡¯s going to reach my stomach¡­¡±


    This experience was truly incredible; he was still dressed as a maid, but he was making love with his husband on an aircraft. The unique location magnified Cheng Jin¡¯s senses. The rubbed area became more stimulated as flowing liquid kept flowing out of the hole. And with his husband¡¯s thrusting, it dripped onto the floor in strands, and finally gathered into a small group of ambiguous wet marks.


    ¡°It¡¯s so good¡­ hoo...good¡­¡± When his womb was penetrated, Cheng Jin was so happy that he almost collapsed. His mouth couldn¡¯t close at all, and his face was flushed. He looked at his face on the glass window. It became so gorgeous because of his husband¡¯s love, like an orange floral in full bloom.


    Lu Tao suddenly pulled out his cock, held Cheng Jin up against the hatch, and entered his body in this position. Cheng Jin quickly wrapped his arms around his neck, and a long, lewd scream came out of his throat. His husband came over, sucked his tongue, and asked, ¡°Do you prefer your husband to do you like this?¡±


    ¡°Nhhn¡­ Like¡­..¡± Cheng Jin, who was obsessed with his love and would take the initiative to kiss him, said obsessively, ¡°I love my husband¡­and I love my husband to fuck me¡­¡±


    It was too cute and too sweet. Lu Tao only felt that his heart was throbbing frantically. At the same time, his lower body also pistoned Cheng Jin¡¯s entrance even faster, pumping his cock violently until he sent his little wife to the top and filled his womb with his seed.

 CH 37

    After the orange floral banquet, the content of the banquet made headlines in newspapers and portal websites the next day, and all the journalists selected the first photo of Cheng Jin.


    The next day, the content of the orange floral banquet made headlines in newspapers and online websites, and all of the journalists chose asthe irvery first photo was of Cheng Jin.


    Cheng Jin was taken aback when he saw the photo.


    He happened to be knitting socks at the time the shot was taken. The camera captured his total focus and commitment. His attire was obviously incompatible with the banquet environment, but for some reason, it looked very special..


    Lu Tao¡¯s public image was not just strong and attractive, but also cold and unsociable. They didn¡¯t anticipate him to smile so sweetly and act so personally when approaching his spouse.


    It¡¯s as if he was a different person!


    However, the banquet revealed his partner¡¯s identity. The fact that the Cheng family¡¯s young master, who was noted for his arrogance, was actually his partner startled most people, and the Cheng family¡¯s bankruptcy was brought up again by the public, and it was hotly discussed on the Internet for days.


    Cheng Jin had not anticipated the outcome. This year, it wasn¡¯t Qi Mianmian¡¯s starry sky dress or Lian Wu¡¯s sparkling gown that drew headlines, but his maid attire. He also wouldn¡¯t have guessed that many individuals would dress up as maids to gain attention at the upcoming orange blossom dinner.


    Cheng Jin was no longer the youthful maestro who reveled in the adulation he received. His photographs have gone viral. The only thing that troubled him was the thought of his brother and father seeing him, especially his brother. He didn¡¯t know what his gege would think if he saw the headlines. But Cheng Jin never dared to ask because he was too shy.


    What he really wanted to do now was use the precious Sonne¡¯s Bakery voucher and bring his husband to sample it with him.


    There were several dessert stores on the Imperial Planet, but Sonne¡¯s Bakery was without a doubt the most successful. It not only existed on the Imperial Planet, but also on every other planet. It would generate things swiftly, with new products virtually every week, and it not only tasted excellent, but it also looked good, making it suitable for putting on personal blog pages. It also has a unique feature, which is its store itself.


    Sonne¡¯s Bakery on the Imperial Planet was constructed to float in midair. From a distance, it appeared to be a hot air balloon floating in the sky. It was especially captivating and stunning. The decorative hues were vibrant, and when the sun shone, those who saw it felt their spirits raise.


    And it was also a venue for couples to meet.

    ¡°It¡¯s a keychain.¡± Cheng Jin opened the small gift box and saw the contents inside. His eyes lit up. ¡°It¡¯s a planet-shaped keychain, so pretty!¡± It was obviously just a complimentary gift, but it was finely crafted. It¡¯s a small round ball and if zoomed in closely, the mountains, rivers, and city buildings inside could be seen.


    Lu Tao glanced at it and said. ¡°It¡¯s a figure of Planet 12.¡±


    ¡°Planet 12?¡± Cheng Jin took a closer look, but he  couldn¡¯t tell. ¡°How can you tell?¡±


    ¡°It has the biggest lake in the world, and the big cities are almost built on the water. Look closely.¡±


    Cheng Jin almost rubbed his eyelashes on the planet given how close his face was. After seeing it clearly, he said excitedly, ¡°It¡¯s true! Wah, it¡¯s so beautiful. The water¡¯s flowing!¡± Cheng Jin was surprised and delighted. ¡°This is also great. It¡¯s just a complimentary gift, but it¡¯s done so finely.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s a whole set of this giveaway, 72 in total.¡± Suddenly, a voice came in. Cheng Jin raised his head and saw the Rigel brothers standing at their table. Eureka was the one who talked, and Asher waved to them with a smile.


    Eureka took a seat beside them at the table. ¡°To explain, I have 70 planet keychains and just two are still missing.¡± Eureka was beaming with pride. He cast a peek at Cheng Jin¡¯s keychain. ¡°I have nine of those.¡±


    Cheng Jin was a little taken aback. ¡°What brings you guys here?¡±


    Asher answered with a smile, ¡°My brother wanted to come over for dessert, so I joined him. What a happy coincidence! We happened to run into you.¡±


    Cheng Jin burst out laughing. ¡°It is, in fact, a coincidence.¡± He continued, ¡°What would you want to eat? Let me invite you to join us.¡± The dessert voucher in his hand was limited. He could only serve two people dessert once a day. If he wanted more, he would have to pay more money to obtain them.


    Asher smiled and said, ¡°Our order has already been placed. It will arrive later.¡± He also grinned cheerfully at Lu Tao. ¡°Do you mind if we share a table, old man? Did we ruin your date?¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s face flushed instantly, although Lu Tao¡¯s face was composed. ¡°Your presence is quite bothersome, but it¡¯s all right.¡± He turned to face Cheng Jin. ¡°After all, we are legal partners, so we could still spend a considerable amount of time together.¡±


    Cheng Jin was constantly embarrassed by his remarks, so he swiftly changed the subject. ¡°What are the two planets that you haven¡¯t gathered yet, Eureka?¡±


    Eureka said, ¡°The Imperial planet, which is the ¡®autocrat kind,¡¯ is one example. The figure is quite low. They claim that there are only 72 in the world.¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that difficult to obtain?¡± Cheng Jin asked.


    Eureka exuded confidence ¡°Every day, I come here to eat. I¡¯m absolutely going to get it!¡± As he spoke, he clenched his massive hand. Cheng Jin chuckled a little and seemed concerned. ¡°Will eating sweets every day cause any problems with your body?¡±


    ¡°Oh, don¡¯t be worried.¡± Asher laughed. ¡°His body appears to be quite capable of digesting sugar. He¡¯s been eating this way for the past 22 years and has had no problems.¡±


    ¡°22 years?¡± He was taken aback and immediately thought of another question. ¡°How old is Eureka?¡±


    ¡°23 years old, four years younger than me,¡± Asher remarked with a smile.


    Cheng Jin stared in awe at the rough huge man in front of him, his jaw almost dropping. ¡°Eureka¡­ is younger than me?¡±


    Eureka¡¯s expression looked as if it was a matter of course. ¡°Yeah.¡± His eyes trained at the dessert in front of Cheng Jin again. ¡°Xiao Cheng Jin, can you¡­give me a bite of yours later? Just one bite, I¡¯ll dig it with a clean spoon later.¡±


    Seeing that the other party¡¯s saliva was about to flow down, Cheng Jin quickly said, ¡°Of course.¡± He also had lingering fears as he directed his questions towards Asher. ¡°So it¡¯s actually harmful to eat too much sugar, right?¡±


    Asher laughed, ¡°You mean my didi looks old?¡±


    Of course ah! Eureka doesn¡¯t look like a twenty three year old!


    But he should have thought of it a long time ago, because he had heard Eureka call Yan Qi ¡±cousin¡±.Yan Qi and him were the same generation, and he was only half a year older thanYan Qi, so in retrospect, Eureka¡¯s age should be younger than him.


    Eureka obviously didn¡¯t care about age. He was only staring at Cheng Jin¡¯s cake and gulping. ¡°Another planet I haven¡¯t collected is Planet 6.¡±


    Cheng Jin was originally unconcerned. But after hearing the words ¡°Planet 6¡±, he became serious. He remembered that his brother said he was going to take him away, and that their future destination was Planet 6. Cheng Jin¡¯s heart was in a mess, but he quickly pretended to be calm and asked, ¡°Why? Is Planet 6 hard to find?¡±


    Eureka was a little upset. ¡°It¡¯s not rare. Some people come to buy desserts and they can get it by chance, but I just can¡¯t come across it. I have definitely come every day since I got this set¡­¡±


    Cheng Jin pretended to ask unintentionally, ¡°What is Planet 6 like?¡±


    ¡°A very ordinary planet.¡± The person who answered his question was Lu Tao. ¡°Their economy ranks second to none of all planets, and the climate has four distinct seasons. If there is any unique characteristic, it is that their water is colder yet not frozen, so the fish produced is more delicious.¡±


    ¡°Ah?¡± Cheng Jin was a little surprised, ¡°Husband, you even know this? Why is the water colder?¡±


    Lu Tao said, ¡°There is an extinct volcano there. The volcano has sealed off the heat, and because it still exists, no matter how cold the weather is, the water flowing in the river will not freeze.¡±


    Cheng Jin nodded blankly, while the ever-smiling Asher asked, ¡°Has Xiao Jin ever been to another planet?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve never been.¡± Cheng Jin was born on the Imperial Planet, and was nurtured by the idea that ¡°The Imperial Planet is the best planet in the world¡± since childhood, so he had a natural prejudice against other planets.


    Asher rubbed his chin. ¡°How come I remember that you applied to join the army?¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t go to other planets that time, because the landing site was directly at the operating base.¡± Cheng Jin felt a little sad when he thought of this. ¡°And returned after a short stay.¡± His husband at the time may not have known that he was actually a little timid, and that he was a little afraid of leaving the Imperial Planet. In fact, when he was able to set out at that time, he mustered up courage. It was love that overcame his fear.


    They couldn¡¯t continue the topic because the dessert that Asher ordered was finally served.


    Cheng Jin¡¯s eyes were full of shock when he saw at least a four-pound cake in front of Eureka, and he asked almost impolitely, ¡°Y-You eat this much alone?¡±


    Eureka was generous. ¡°Would you like to try some?¡±


    Cheng Jin hurriedly shook his head, so Eureka didn¡¯t bother being polite. He dug out a large spoonful of other people¡¯s cakes and placed them on top of his own, before tasting it with satisfaction.


    He had this kind of magic when he ate. It made people feel that the food was particularly delicious. Cheng Jin had completely given up the idea of ??dating with his husband today, and began to relax and chat with Eureka.


    Eureka was undoubtedly a very good friend. Although he had no sense of humour, he was very honest, and he was talkative and knew a lot of things. After seeing that Cheng Jin seemed to be interested in the affairs of foreign planets, he began to talk about his travel experience.


    Before they knew it, the other two men on the table had disappeared.


    The bakery even made the bathroom look very cute. All the faucets were cartoon-shaped. Lu Tao pressed the sink down, and warm water flowed out. He washed his hands while looking at the other person in the mirror.


    Asher was also washing his hands slowly, with a light smile on his face. His gentleness made him look like the title ¡°God of War¡± wasn¡¯t associated with him. He seemed to notice that his old partner was staring at him, but he slowly washed his hands before raising his eyelids and smiling. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Lord General?¡±


    He made another little joke. ¡°Am I good-looking? If you keep staring at me like this, it will make me misunderstand.¡±


    Lu Tao did not smile, and his face was even expressionless. After a while, he asked in a deep voice, ¡°Why are you monitoring me?¡±

 CH 38

    Translator: Abo Dammen


    The author has something to say:


    I don¡¯t know science, so there would surely be a bug, please don¡¯t take it seriously o£¨£ª////¨Œ////£ª£©q


    Thank you for your support!


    When Asher Rigel heard the question, he didn¡¯t panic and instead grinned. ¡°Why do you ask? What, you believe I¡¯m monitoring you?¡±


    ¡°There are just too many chance encounters.¡± Lu Tao¡¯s expression was apathetic. ¡°Although we used to be partners in combat, our personal relationship never went beyond the professional one. This was revealed to me through the itinerary Fei Li sent me. We¡¯d never even been to a banquet together before.¡±


    Asher lifted his brow. ¡°That¡¯s because you used to be a workaholic who avoided banquets at all costs.¡± Otherwise, I¡¯d have learned your partner¡¯s name a long time ago.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not convinced by this reason.¡± Lu Tao gazed at him without oppression in his eyes, yet it put pressure on him. ¡°You still haven¡¯t explained why you¡¯re monitoring me.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Asher shrugged, looked around, and said, ¡°It¡¯s not convenient to chat here. Actually, I need to take you somewhere.¡±


    The next morning, he drove Lu Tao to the military hospital. They walked through rigorous security and into an office where Lu Tao met his superior, Major General Mo Si, his former attending doctor, Gerson, and another guy in his 50s. Lu Tao knew he was Tian Qi, the one who rescued him from the gates of hell, based on the information he had gathered. The rear door was pushed open again after they sat down, and the person who came in was Lu Tao¡¯s secretary, Fei Li.


    All of the people in the room looked quite serious, and even Asher managed to hide his usual grin. Finally, Lu Tao broke the stillness by asking, ¡°What is it?¡± He paused, then said, ¡°It seems to be related to my condition?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s correct.¡± Gerson was the one who talked. Even after you were released from the hospital, we continued to keep an eye on you, General Lu Tao, because your condition seemed to have oblique ramifications. It is not that simple.¡±


    Lu Tao¡¯s expression did not change in response to this phrase, and he answered calmly, ¡°What oblique ramifications do you pertain to?¡±


    Gerson hurriedly said, ¡°Please relax first, it is definitely not a life-threatening hidden meaning. Your life is now quite safe and healthy, but in terms of memory¡­¡± He seems to try to describe the situation in milder terms. Tian Qi raised his head and stated, ¡°According to my study and judgment, as well as the data acquired over the previous few days, it is concluded that you are not amnesiac owing to the toxin damaging your memory, but rather the toxin aroused your second personality.¡±


    His direct explanation seems to have dropped a tiny bomb into the office. Except for Gerson, everyone else appeared surprised, and Lu Tao grimaced heavily. Mo Si was the first to react, ¡°Why do you think so?¡±

    Lu Tao¡¯s physique was completely relaxed. ¡°I¡¯ve studied the information, and I¡¯ve also used a scooter in the past,¡± he explained.


    ¡°But you¡¯re not skilled, and you certainly can¡¯t run 120 kilometers.¡± Tian Qi said, looking across at Asher.


    Asher said, ¡°Indeed, Lord General. We¡¯ve competed before, and I¡¯ve always won this one. And manipulating mechas is also my forte, but I also lost the competition to you two days ago.¡±


    ¡°Both of these activities rely on balance,¡± Tian Qi explained. ¡°In the past, you didn¡¯t get the best balance. What you are most powerful at is combat competition and weapon application.¡±


    ¡°My shooting performance is no different than before,¡± Lu Tao frowned.


    ¡°That¡¯s correct. The issue of balancing is rather enormous. The cerebellum is in charge of equilibrium. This cannot be aided by a toxin that may cause memory loss.¡±


    Lu Tao said, ¡°If your inferences are correct¡­¡±


    Tian Qi interrupted him, ¡°It¡¯s not an inference, but a conclusion based on science and data.¡±


    Lu Tao straightened up and replied, ¡°Okay, even if I was triggered to have a second personality instead of amnesia, I don¡¯t believe this would affect my balancing abilities. My body, after all, hasn¡¯t changed, has it?¡±


    ¡°That is not always the case.¡± The physician¡¯s expression was one of grave concern ¡°Even if two people with split personalities share the same physical form, they will have vastly different interests, skills, and personality quirks. General Lu Tao, there is no big problem with your body in terms of your ability to balance. The reason why you can¡¯t get the best is because of your previous personality. If you feel that you can¡¯t achieve the best, you simply give up and choose to strengthen your other skills. According to Asher Rigel and Fei Li, you used to believe that mastering and controlling weaponry, as well as strengthening your own strength, was the most essential thing while fighting the enemy.¡±


    ¡°I know you may not be persuaded by me,¡± Tian Qi continued slowly, ¡°but let me ask now, have you remembered your prior memories at this time?¡±


    Because the toxins dissipated gradually, the memory would be restored gradually, never overnight. Gerson had informed Lu Tao before he was released from the hospital that he should gradually be able to remember the past in 6 months and not to worry about the things he didn¡¯t remember.


    It had been two months since he had been poisoned.


    ¡°Although I don¡¯t recall anything, I had some unusual emotions,¡± Lu Tao murmured as he closed his eyes.


    Tian Qi rushed to open the light-screen keyboard and began recording, ¡°Please describe it.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve met two people, and my initial impression of them was not favorable. I looked into the information and discovered that our past relationship was not amicable. This, I believe, is the friction left by my previous memories.¡±


    Tian Qi promptly took note of it and then said, ¡°Are there just two?¡±


    Lu Tao nodded.


    ¡°Can you tell me who those two are?¡±


    ¡°One is my partner¡¯s father, and the other is my partner¡¯s brother,¡± Lu Tao explained.


    Tian Qi halted the movement in his hand, fixedly gazed at him, and said, ¡°Please explain the scenario of the encounter in as much detail as possible.¡±


    The eyes of everyone in the room landed on his face; he wasn¡¯t anxious, just a bit ludicrous, but he recounted the scene of the two encounters seriously. Tian Qi remained quiet after speaking, then abruptly stated, ¡°Please pardon me for what I¡¯m going to say.¡±


    ¡°Please speak,¡± Lu Tao said.


    Tian Qi said, ¡°The discomfort in your heart is not because of the influence of past memories, but because of jealousy.¡±


    Lu Tao was stunned, a little incredulous. ¡°¡­Jealousy?¡±


    ¡°Jealousy, indeed. A jealous disposition toward those who come into intimate touch with one¡¯s spouse is a common symptom of extreme possessiveness.¡±


    When Lu Tao heard this statement, he realized it didn¡¯t make sense. ¡°Impossible. I know that they are Xiao Jin¡¯s father and brother. Apart from family affection, there is no other relationship between them. Why would I be jealous?¡±


    ¡°Jealousy doesn¡¯t make sense, especially for someone who is possessive. And your partner might¡¯ve shown attachment to his relatives in front of you before meeting you. Jealousy makes you plant the seeds of rejection in advance, so it is obviously the ¡®first¡¯ meeting, but your impression of them is still not good.¡± Tian Qi added, ¡°And you have a strong possessiveness towards your partner, which is completely different from your original personality. According to my verification, General Lu Tao, you were very indifferent to your partner in the past.¡±


    He paused. ¡°Very indifferent that it made your partner feel discouraged and wanted to file for divorce.¡±


    After hearing the last sentence, the lord general¡¯s calm expression became tense, and he lost his voice. ¡°Xiao Jin¡­applied for a divorce?¡±


    This time, it was Fei Li who answered him, ¡°Yes, Lord General.¡± He added, ¡°And before your return trip, you should have also decided to divorce your partner, because you agreed to go to a place.¡±


    ¡°Why?¡±


    No one answered his question. After a long silence, Tian Qi interjected, ¡°So our current inference, or conclusion, is that the toxin did not make you lose your memory, but rather triggered your second personality, which is now you. General Lu Tao, have you ever been in a trance or confusion since you woke up?¡±


    Lu Tao said, ¡°No.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s it.¡± Tian Qi turned off the light screen. ¡°If there¡¯s no accident, your current personality will disappear after the toxin completely disappears, and it may even include all your memories during this time. But I need to do another check on your body to make sure the result is correct and to make sure that the toxin doesn¡¯t have any other side effects.¡±


    The doctor¡¯s calm words floated in Lu Tao¡¯s ears, and he looked as if he had suffered a severe blow. After a long time, he murmured, ¡°Disappear?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Tian Qi said, ¡°This is beyond human control.¡±


    There was some sympathy in the doctor¡¯s eyes. ¡°Actually, I didn¡¯t agree with telling you about this. Although your current personality appeared temporarily, I still feel that this is not very good news for you now. However, I need to extract more data from you to document the evolution of this toxin, so I must inform you. And now the military suspects that the werewolves may have come into contact with the Zerg, because the toxin in you has the characteristics of two races.¡±


    ¡°The zerg can bring diseases, and the blood of the werewolf can contaminate human genes. If they are combined to deal with humans together, then the future fate of human beings¡­¡±


    The doctor looked at Lu Tao with a straight face. His tone was firm, ¡°We can only be glad that there are no serious consequences for this now. But if the enemy¡¯s target chooses a general with an unstable mind, it will cause a catastrophe. In order to prevent this from happening, we must solve this problem as soon as possible. And you, General Lu Tao, are now our only sample.¡±

 CH 39

    Because of the banquet, Cheng Jin became a celebrity again, and his fame was even greater than before, and the impression of ordinary people on him changed from ¡°the young master of the Cheng family¡± to ¡°Madam General¡±, and there were even reporters who wanted to come to give him an exclusive interview, but Cheng Jin refused.


    The young master who used to be complacent about this has long since become a low-key and simple Cheng Jin, who just looked forward to earning more money and spending more time with his husband every day.


    Cheng Jin appeared at YouSi¡¯s house again after he was invited there, and he also brought the finished sock. YouSi Kui warmly entertained him, and praised his craftsmanship, and then said, ¡°Xiao Cheng Jin, why do I think your knitting style is very similar to the mysterious ¡®Masam Ruilla¡¯ that was passed down by the young people?¡±


    Cheng Jin was a little surprised, ¡°How did you see it?¡±


    YouSi Kui smiled, ¡°Sure enough?¡±


    Cheng Jin naturally did not dare to lie in front of an elder, and admitted it a little nervously.  He originally wanted to tell it all, but when he said it himself, there was some difference between the two being exposed by YouSi Kui and speaking out on his own. He was a little apprehensive, worried that YouSi Kui would be angry. After all, the other party was the minister of the Criminal Law Department, and his behavior had already involved a borderline crime. Thinking of this, Cheng Jin hurriedly said, ¡°Grandma YouSi, I-I didn¡¯t intend to hide it, it¡¯s really¡­¡±


    ¡°I know.¡± You Sikui smiled tenderly and patted his head. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, Xiao Cheng Jin, I¡¯m not trying to give you trouble, and I know your plight. It has been really hard for you. And to be able to do this is really impressive.¡±


    Cheng Jin breathed a sigh of relief, put his mind at ease, and blushed a little after being praised.  YouSi Kui asked again, ¡°You also knitted the blanket that my sister had on her legs that day?¡±


    Cheng Jin nodded slightly.  YouSi Kui smiled and said, ¡°She didn¡¯t know it before, and thought it was Xiao Tao who bought it for her in the store. Later, I shared my doubts with her and compared the socks with the blanket. She still couldn¡¯t believe it.  ¡°


    Cheng Jin was startled, and quickly said, ¡°P-Please don¡¯t tell her¡­¡± His eyes showed loss. ¡°Grandma doesn¡¯t like me. If she knew that I knitted it for her, she would definitely not want to use it.¡±


    You Sikui raised her eyebrows. ¡°She didn¡¯t lose her temper at that time.¡±


    Cheng Jin was stunned. ¡°Grandma¡­ didn¡¯t lose her temper?¡±


    ¡°Yeah. Seems to be trying to change their mind. Maybe it¡¯s time for you both to reconcile.¡± YouSi Kui smiled and said, ¡°And looking at the way Xiao Tao is treating you now, the relationship between you should also be good. Don¡¯t be discouraged, what¡¯s yours belongs to you. You are slowly earning them now.¡±


    Cheng Jin was not so optimistic in his heart, but he was still comforted by her. Cheng Jin smiled and said, ¡°Well, Grandma YouSi, let me make you a dress. What style do you want? What occasion do you need to wear it?¡±


    When he came back from YouSi¡¯s house, Cheng Jin held another big box in his hand, which was full of materials for making dresses, most of which he bought from Andy, and some from YouSi¡¯s house. When he arrived at the door, the little robot greeted him cheerfully, ¡°Welcome back, my little master, please give me the box to carry in. At this moment, Cheng Cheng is a strong man!¡±


    Cheng Jin smiled, ¡°Thank you.¡± Handing the box to it, he asked, ¡°Has my husband come back yet?¡±

    There was a familiar scene entrenched in his mind. In the past, he also walked up the stairs like this, with anticipation and excitement in his heart, and a little panic. He then walked to the door. Every time he opened the door, he had hoped that he could get along with his husband a little more happily, even if the other party said a few words to him, it would be good. But the only thing he has always faced was indifference.


    The image of Lu Tao looking at him with cold eyes was frozen in the depths of his mind. The fiery heat in Cheng Jin¡¯s heart was extinguished little by little, the blood flow seemed to stop, and the heartache that he hadn¡¯t felt for a long time came back again. He didn¡¯t even have the strength to push the door open.


    He was afraid of facing Lu Tao in the past.


    If you have never tasted the sweetness of sugar, you will not feel that the bitterness you are eating is particularly bitter, but once you have tasted it, it will be difficult to bear it again.


    Cheng Jin stood there for several minutes, until the little robot approached and asked, ¡°Little master, do you want Cheng Cheng to knock on the door for you?¡±


    The little robot¡¯s big eyes blinked, and its artificial eyelashes were fluttering, looking extraordinarily cute. Cheng Jin was about to shake his head when the door suddenly opened, and the light sound hit Cheng Jin¡¯s heart like a heavy hammer, making his whole body stiff. He didn¡¯t dare to look at Lu Tao. A few seconds felt like a century.


    It¡¯s like he was on trial.


    Until a familiar voice sounded, ¡°Are you back?¡±


    He breathed a sigh of relief. Cheng Jin¡¯s eyes finally fell on the face of the man in front of him. There was a little smile and tenderness in the eyes of the man in front of him, but there was no indifference and alienation in the past.


    At that moment, Cheng Jin felt like crying.


    It was obviously difficult for him to control his emotions. Tears quickly accumulated in his beautiful eyes. Seeing that the general was flustered for a while, he quickly hugged him, and asked softly: ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Have you been wronged in Yousi¡¯s house?¡±


    There were still four months, and in these four months, Lu Tao wouldn¡¯t be indifferent to him. He would care about him, love him, and take the initiative to hug him¡­ Cheng Jin¡¯s heart was filled with joy and adrenaline again, and he suddenly realised that he should not be sad, but happy.


    Four more months, just four.


    The little robot was also in a hurry, waving its mechanical arms, shaking back and forth. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, little master? What¡¯s the matter? Who wronged the little master? Cheng Cheng will go to punish him!¡±


    Cheng Jin laughed through his tears, rubbed the little robot¡¯s bare head, and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Then he said to his husband,¡±I didn¡¯t suffer any grievances at YouSi¡¯s family. Grandma YouSi is very nice.I measured her today, and I have decided on the style of the gown, and I have received a deposit.¡± He excitedly gestured five fingers. ¡°It¡¯s five times more than the price of making a piece of clothing before.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s great.¡± Lu Tao also laughed.


    ¡°What are you doing here?¡±


    ¡°Just looking at the things left over from before.¡± Lu Tao raised his eyebrows. ¡°But there are so few things it looks like no one lives in this house.¡±


    The little robot said beside him, ¡°Master really rarely came back here before.¡±


    Cheng Jin¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said to the little robot, ¡°Cheng Cheng, can you go down and rest first?¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± The tone of the little robot became cheerful, ¡°The two masters want to get intimate, right? Cheng Cheng will avoid and never disturb you guys.¡± It said, took a quick step down the stairs, and then went back to its charging room.


    Cheng Jin¡¯s face turned red. Lu Tao grabbed his wrist and led him into the room.


    In the past, Cheng Jin actually came to this room often, especially in the few days after Lu Tao left. He would also specifically tell Cheng Cheng not to tidy up the room and keep the windows closed, as if it could keep the breath of his husband here. He used to be such a fussy person. He would sleep here for a few days until his husband¡¯s smell completely disappeared.


    It was so humble that he didn¡¯t seem like he was raised being pampered.


    But after all, Lu Tao would come back and stay shortly. He even had only a few days to feel the breath of the other party.


    Now everything in the house was still the same. Lu Tao almost had no personal items here, only two sets of pyjamas in the closet. But now Lu Tao took out something from the drawer.


    It¡¯s a box of condoms.


    In fact, there was only half a box, and the remaining half was used up.


    Seeing such a thing, Cheng Jin only felt himself blushing. ¡°Husband, why are you¡­¡±


    ¡°Came up and looked around, then found this.¡± The tall man sat on the edge of the bed, with his long legs spread open casually. He shook the box in his hand, and there was a rattling sound in the box. Lu Tao looked at his embarrassed little wife and said, ¡°Who bought it?¡±


    Cheng Jin was embarrassed to answer, but then had the courage to rush over directly, and then ran into his husband¡¯s arms. His waist was hugged by the man, and then sat him on his lap. The curtains were drawn automatically, and the light in the room dimmed a lot and became ambiguous. The two of them were very close, their noses almost touching together, and in the end, it was unknown who started it first, their lips hovered on each other, and they soon developed into a passionate kiss.


    Kissing Lu Tao in this room made Cheng Jin feel a bit out of touch in reality. Everything was like a dream that he imagined because he was too eager. His body trembled slightly, and the corners of his eyes were red, and after a while, tears rolled down from there.


    Lu Tao felt his tears, but he didn¡¯t ask him anything, but kissed him more intensely, and at the same time put his hand into his clothes to touch his slender waist. The skin under his palms were soft and smooth, like fine silk and satin. Only his hands were a little rough, especially on the fingertips, where calluses could still be felt.


    Clasping each other¡¯s five fingers, Lu Tao pressed his little wife on the bed, their eyes met each other, their breathing was chaotic. Cheng Jin¡¯s eyes were as pure as a deer, and he was still a little ignorant, as if he didn¡¯t understand his husband¡¯s current behaviour. Lu Tao was amused by his cute appearance, rubbed his nose against the tip of his nose, and said in a low voice, ¡°Did I treat you badly before?¡±


    Cheng Jin was almost sure that his knew about their past. He endured the sadness in his heart and whispered, ¡°It¡¯s my fault. I used to¡­ have a bad temper¡­¡±


    Lu Tao laughed, ¡°Then I¡¯m so lucky, I met you at the best time.¡±


    Cheng Jin didn¡¯t quite understand what he said, but he didn¡¯t want to continue this topic.


    He has already decided to spend these four months well, and then leave this planet with his brother and father, and spend the rest of his life with the beautiful memories of this period.


    So he raised his neck, took the initiative to kiss his husband¡¯s lips, and eagerly said, ¡°Husband, let¡¯s do it¡­¡±
