CHAPTER 5
A royal dinner for young people, an exquisite space airship, and the endless beauty of the sea of stars, in Xia Weide's view, are all the boosters for him to pursue his love.
On this romantic night, Xia Weide was very excited. He patted on the suit handed over by his home smartphone. They were two three-piece suits of the same colour, and even the pocket squares were the same.
"Chengli, I happen to have a suitable suit here. Do you like it?"
Du Chengli turned from the window, took a look and said, "I like it, thank you."
Xia Weide opened the top velvet box, revealing a pair of blue cufflinks with patterns, blue flowers and yellow stamens, and the colour was beautiful.
"This is the blue water lily." Xia Weide took a deep breath and said, "Don't you like the water lily galaxy very much? You must have heard the love legend of the imperial couple, right?"
Du Chengli thought about the royal gossip he had heard for many days, nodded and said, "I've heard it."
"Did you know? In mythology, before human beings stepped into space, the sun was born from the blooming of the lotus, so the water lily was regarded as a "sacred flower" and became a totem all over the temple colonnade, symbolising "only the beginning, A prayer that will not be disillusioned."
Xia Weide coughed twice and continued: "The origin of the name of the Water Lily galaxy is also the same. It is the promise of the imperial couple. They love each other for a hundred years and will never change until death."
Du Chengli nodded politely and looked at the other party as if he was listening carefully.
His emotions are not rich, but he has a pair of seductive eyes as if all the missing emotions are contained in the eyes.
Such eyes stared at Xia Weide, he couldn't help but blush and heartbeat, and he was stumbling when he prepared to show his love for a long time. "I picked this scarf, especially for you. I hope we can also start a period, only the beginning, undying love."
Before finishing the two most important words, the home smartphone issued an electronic voice prompt: "Master, there is a visitor."
Xia Weide was about to die of anger. He turned to see which bastard was shown in the 3D image but interrupted his confession. As a result, he was stunned after just one glance—His Royal Highness?
"You see a guest. I'll take a shower and change my clothes." Du Chengli checked the time and walked to the bathroom.
"Okay, okay." Xia Weide came back to his senses, ignored the unfinished confession, and went to open the door to welcome the guests himself.
Although he came from a high-class noble family, as a young master who had just graduated from the academy, Xia Weide did not meet the crown prince whenever he wanted, let alone the crown prince who came to see him.
The suite door was automatically opened, and Xia Weide saw the Crown Prince whom Luo Er had coveted for a long time at a close distance. He had a handsome appearance rarely seen in an alpha, dressed in an elegant dress, with a thin figure and a proud bearing, which was unforgettable.
It's not that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Xia Weide thinks that the crown prince is beautiful, but in terms of attractiveness, his "boyfriend" is more attractive.
Thinking about it this way, Xia Weide was not so nervous anymore. He nodded and said: "Your Highness, may I ask why you are here?"
Huo Tingyun couldn't wait to interrupt: "Where's your roommate?"
The reason he avoids people, even running over before the dinner party starts, is because he's sure that's his dad.
Not only his appearance but the familiar spiritual energy which only his father can have.
Sure enough, people like Dad will never die quickly. He is back.
Xia Weide ignored the other party's impoliteness and subconsciously corrected him: "Your Highness, are you talking about my boyfriend?"
Huo Tingyun narrowed his eyes to look at him and said strangely: "Is he your boyfriend?"
Although it was confirmed in the information, he couldn't accept it no matter what. His father would find such a person as a boyfriend.
"Yes, he is taking a bath. Is Your Highness looking for him for something?"
"bath?"
"Yes, Your Highness knows Cheng Li?"
Although Xia Weide felt a little strange, out of politeness, he invited this distinguished guest who came suddenly.
When Huo Tingyun took his seat, he heard water coming from the bathroom and gave Xia Weide a detailed look.
Dad's boyfriend?
He has a remarkable physique and is already considered weak among the alpha group, but Xia Weide looks even worse, younger than him, with "I am a weak person" written bluntly all over his body.
Although his adoptive father was a bastard, at least he was the most powerful bastard in the empire.
At this point, Huo Tingyun didn't even want to see Xia Weide, but he smiled formulaically: "Although it's very abrupt, I'm curious how you two met?"
The topic changed fast enough. Xia Weide was stunned momentarily before picking up, "We met during the interstellar travel."
Before Weide finished his word, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and a slender man in a dark grey bathrobe emerged.
Huo Tingyun stood up suddenly and walked towards him.
Just as Du Chengli was about to say hello to Xia Weide's guest, the next second, the guest rushed towards him.
If it were an ordinary person, he would be hugged by this person in a swift and fierce posture. But Du Chengli is not an average person; he just raised his hand and stopped him.
Huo Tingyun was not disappointed when he failed to hug his father but was pleasantly surprised. This neat and familiar skill made him confirm - this is his father!
When they met for the first time, Du Chengli also rejected him like this and rushed towards him.
"Weide, who is this?"
Du Chengli looked at Xia Weide. He recognised Huo Tingyun, the young man rescued at the observatory.
Forty-One recognised him and said in surprise: "President, did you get seen by him when you saved him that night?"
Du Chengli: "No, he is a mortal."
Forty-One: "That's true. Then why is he so excited when he sees you and wants to give you a loving hug?"
Du Chengli couldn't answer, but there must be a particular reason.
As soon as Xia Weide was about to answer him who Huo Tingyun was, Huo Tingyun interrupted him. "Mr Xia, can you please leave for a while? We need some private time. "
Xia Weide can't keep up with the rhythm at all. Du Chengli and the crown prince are so close that they need private time.
Could it be that kind of relationship between Du Chengli and the prince?
The massive disparity with his rival in love made Xia Weid suddenly feel that courtship was hopeless, and he had mixed feelings.
But he is not her real boyfriend after all, so knowing that the atmosphere is incorrect, he can only leave in a daze.
Du Chengli was also at a loss.
Forty-One guessed enthusiastically: "President, I said earlier that your avatar is in this plane. You have seen him almost crying with excitement. He must have a lot to do with you. Maybe you have a clone in your belly. The mysteries are about to be answered!"
Although Du Chengli felt that this guess was nonsense, he could not identify the truth due to his memory disorder, so he could only wait for the other party to answer.
As a result, as soon as Xia Weide left, when only Huo Tingyun and Du Chengli were left looking at each other, Du Chengli heard him yelling at himself. "Dad!"
The love is sincere and intimate.
Forty-One: "!!!"
Du Chengli: "....?"
Forty-One: "I didn't expect you to be such a president! So you already gave birth to one!!!"
Du Chengli: "Shut up."
Huo Tingyun's heart was turbulent, but he didn't vent it now. He had too many problems and longings, but it couldn't be now.
"Dad, put on your dress first, and I'll take you out of here immediately; otherwise, he will notice."
Du Chengli didn't know who the "he" Huo Tingyun was talking about, but he could tell from the tone that the visitor was not kind.
What was he here before, what did he do, and why did he have a son?
Also, the other party's physique is strange, but there is spiritual energy in the body of a mortal to continue life.
Could it be that he did something shameful and had a baby?
One can imagine the complexity of the eight-hundred-year-long memories. In Du Chengli's current state, he couldn't bear it. Just thinking about it gave him a splitting headache.
Forty-One: "President! Now is not the time to think about this. Seeing your son is so anxious. Don't you have your enemy on this airship?"
If it was an enemy, Du Chengli didn't think there would be any surprises in his current state.
He doesn't like surprises.
But there are surprises every moment.
Such as this unexpected son.
Du Chengli finally changed his clothes and left with Huo Tingyun without saying anything.
Xia Weide looked at Du Chengli's back anxiously. Although he didn't want to give up at all in his heart, he didn't dare to stop them at all.
Huo Tingyun glanced at him from the corner of his eye, thinking like this, how could he be his father's boyfriend?
"Dad, you wear these new material glasses, which can cover up..."
"That's too late."
"What?"
Du Chengli felt a powerful wave of divine consciousness sweep over him. It was a violent storm, but when it fell on him, it was very gentle. The other party's spiritual consciousness seemed to have turned into many tentacles, entwined deeply and shallowly on his body, sliding from his face to his chest to his abdomen and finally locking him tightly so he could no longer move.
"He found me."
