\u201cAchoo!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Bai sneezed, looked up at the banquet hall, and did not find any allergens. He then forgot about the sneeze and started searching for Woden everywhere.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Everyone around him rolled their eyes, but they were already used to it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Every time Ye Bai attended a banquet, he would look for Woden. Especially this time, since the invitation to the banquet had come from Woden himself, Ye Bai was even more obsessed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Strangely, the eldest son of the Ye family who had accompanied Ye Bai to the banquet, after greeting everyone, went to a small garden nearby. His lightpad kept sending him notifications.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cAlina, don\u2019t you know? Recently, Ye Wangxing\u2019s small company has made a fortune. He\u2019s probably busy managing the goods in his company now.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Martha, a friend who had blocked Alina at the banquet earlier, whispered to Alina.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Martha was one or two years older than the young masters and mistresses present, and she was steadier, which was why the parents felt comfortable letting them play together.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Even though Martha occasionally acted out, it was still within normal limits.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Seeing Alina\u2019s surprised expression, Martha continued to whisper the gossip she had heard.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cAfter he put those four men as model pictures on his official homepage, he sold the goods directly from the factory. Small merchants bought from him and added some accessory packs. This week, the internet has been full of those plush little persimmons, wool blankets, and similar items.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Martha sighed helplessly. \u201cMy little boyfriend fussed all day, insisting I wear the plush little accessory he bought me, and even booked a spaceship ticket to that Golden Planet. This traffic really made Ye Wangxing earn a fortune.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Alina suddenly remembered that she had indeed seen those familiar small gifts online recently. But since the following prices were so cheap, she hadn\u2019t clicked on them and didn\u2019t expect it to become such a big deal.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cIsn\u2019t he running a platform? How is he selling things himself to gain traffic? And those four\u2026 didn\u2019t they complain? Their model pictures are all over the internet\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Alina whispered.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Martha leaned closer to her ear and said: \u201cThere aren\u2019t many merchants on his platform. Naturally, he had to take advantage of the traffic himself. If it weren\u2019t for the Crown Prince\u2019s invitation today, he probably wouldn\u2019t have come.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cThe model pictures were only up for a day. After everyone knew, Ye Wangxing deleted them. But those four\u2026 I don\u2019t know what they were thinking. They didn\u2019t get angry. On the contrary, when someone told them about it, they acted like they already knew.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Martha looked slightly puzzled as she spoke.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Alina also looked bewildered. If Martha didn\u2019t know, she certainly didn\u2019t.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Fortunately, they soon stopped caring about it, since it was the Crown Prince Woden\u2019s banquet and they still had to show proper manners.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Even when Alina looked at Ye Bai\u2019s clinging behavior, she only gave him a \u201cfrustrated at your stubbornness\u201d look.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

However\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Was Crown Prince Woden a bit distracted at the banquet today?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Alina noticed that Woden had not flirted with anyone all day and thought, if it weren\u2019t for his indifferent attitude toward Ye Bai\u2019s clinginess, she would have assumed Woden had finally decided to treat Ye Bai properly.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

But Woden had not suddenly had a conscience. He even wondered if sending Ye Bai the invitation himself had been a foolish idea.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

What\u2019s strange about Ye Bai? Didn\u2019t he always come running the moment Woden beckoned?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

He realized he had overthought it. Recent undercurrents on Capital Star had made him believe that Ye Bai was acting like those four men\u2014something seemed off.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Woden refused Ye Bai\u2019s request to go out for a walk and let him leave disappointed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Meanwhile, he kept thinking about recent developments regarding General Ortas and his young uncle.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

These past few days, both Ortas and his young uncle had acted strangely. Woden did not believe the rumors that their unusual behavior was because they had fallen in love.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The four people held power that, if combined, could destabilize the entire nation. So Woden remained highly cautious of them, especially his younger uncle, who was four years younger than him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

At military school, his uncle had even equaled General Ortas record. From childhood, he had consistently outshone Woden, making it impossible to ignore him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

A few years ago, he had gone on vacation to avoid suspicion. But after returning from travel to other planets this year, it was unclear whether his uncle had ambitions or simply did not hide his intentions. He kept arguing with the Empress Mother to let him join the military.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The Empress Mother indulged him, and she was already considering helping him choose a military unit.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Woden thought about this and raised the cup of strong liquor in his hand, drank it all, and then slammed the cup back on the table.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He truly could not understand why the Empress Mother trusted her younger brother, who was even younger than her son. Did she not fear he might act against her throne?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Other ministers\u2014the Minister of Finance, Count Uno, even the Marshal\u2014held too much power. Woden believed this power could threaten the royal family.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Yet his Empress Mother ignored it, seemingly pretending to be deaf, wanting to maintain the prosperity of the entire star system.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

She even suppressed Woden\u2019s desire to place her own people near them and had pulled him aside to warn him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cDo not treat everyone as fools, Woden. You are still too immature and inexperienced.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Her sharp gaze made Woden lower his head in submission.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But only Woden knew how unwilling he truly felt. What frustrated him even more was that when he shared his thoughts and actions with his so-called allies, few supported him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In the end, even only Ye Bai was willing to take some data from his father, the Minister of Finance, for him, but it was just data\u2014after all, Ye Bai himself did not have the mind to handle power.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But\u2026<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2018Besides being incapable, he is the only one who completely trusts me.\u2019<\/i><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Woden thought this while drinking half-drunk.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

While Woden drank alone, frustrated at his grand ambitions and the unreliability of those around him, Ye Bai was in the small garden, crying sadly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

By his side were Alina and the others.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Bai spoke about his sadness and grievances, complaining that Woden had really gone too far this time.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

None of his friends present moved to comfort him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

They simply ate and drank as usual. Alina casually used a small silver fork to pick up a heart-shaped piece of fruit from the table and popped it into her mouth, nodding to Martha beside her.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cBesides being molded into shape, this fruit actually tastes pretty good.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Martha, curious, picked up another silver fork and tried a bite. Her eyes widened as she nodded.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cIndeed, the texture is very nice, sweet and slightly sour, somewhat like strawberry but not as acidic.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Bai, completely ignored, muttered: “\u2026Woden really went too far!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

His friends ignored his complaints. They had even tried to advise him when he first came into the garden, but no one could endure listening to someone cry for over half an hour.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

They were even curious how Ye Bai could cry for so long, his eyes still brimming with tears.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Alina watched as Ye Bai finally stopped crying. She placed her silver fork back onto the small plate and took a deep breath.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

She was ready to scold Ye Bai about everything\u2014from Woden to his own mistakes.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

However, before she could speak, a noise came from nearby.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Wait\u2014it wasn\u2019t from the side. It came from behind her.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Alina turned toward the tree wall behind her, and the voice became clear.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u2014Ortas! Stop messing around!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Alina\u2019s eyes widened instantly, and the friends behind her also all turned their heads toward the tree wall. Even Ye Bai reached for the warm towel on the table, wiped his face, and stood up, trying to hear more clearly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cBut I just wanted to show you properly\u2026 the ring you gave me, I\u2019ve been wearing it on my hand~\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

A deep, magnetic mature male voice came from behind the tree wall.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Everyone present instantly realized which two people were behind the wall.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

They were all anxious but dared not move the tree wall. Even the slightest noise could alert General Ortas.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Still, they desperately wanted to see what was happening behind the tree wall.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Then, Martha\u2014the calmest among them\u2014made a shocking move.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

She stepped on a chair in the pavilion and climbed onto the tree wall.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cDon\u2019t worry, from their angle they won\u2019t see us behind the tree wall. We just need to keep our voices down.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Martha spoke very quietly. The friends, although surprised, allowed their curiosity to overcome caution. They covered their mouths, stepped on chairs, and cautiously watched the two behind the tree wall.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The two sitting there seemed completely unaware of them\u2014or perhaps they were simply too preoccupied to notice.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Thanks to the genetic modifications in the interstellar society, everyone\u2019s eyesight was 2.0, even 3.0 on average, allowing them to clearly see the movements of the two from afar and hear what they were saying.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The tall man and the young man in his arms were sideways to them.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

General Ortas held the young man from behind, placing his hand in front of him. The golden snake on his index finger shone brightly. The engraved scales had worn smooth from frequent touching.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

It was obvious the ring had been fondled many times.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been wearing the gift you gave me all the time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

General Ortas voice was lazy, and he deliberately drew out the ending, like a spoiled forest python.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

This made the onlookers on the wall shiver.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

However, Ye Wangxing, who could spend time with General Ortas and even give him gifts, was clearly not an ordinary person.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The young man looked at the ring, softened his gaze, and whispered: “\u2026I\u2019m really glad you like it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The gentle voice noticeably lifted General Ortas mood. He curved his lips, rested his head against the young man\u2019s neck, and lazily said,<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cYes. I wear it every day. Didn\u2019t you notice the snake scales on this ring have brightened? Since it\u2019s a one-of-a-kind ring you designed, of course I like it very much.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

General Ortas proudly raised his hand again in front of the young man, while his other hand rested on the youth\u2019s shoulder, seemingly wrapping him up completely.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a bit of a shame, this ring of mine was actually the cheapest one in the model photos.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Although General Ortas seemed to speak casually, the few onlookers perched on the wall immediately held their breath.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

They feared he might notice something.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

However, they soon began to laugh at their own unnecessary worry because if General Ortas had really recognized that the people in the other three model photos on the official website held the same status as him, he would have rushed over to start hitting them long ago.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He wouldn\u2019t have sat here ambiguously yet warmly with the young man.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Still, Ye Bai felt somewhat worried. Even if others relaxed, his heart remained tense because it was his own brother.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Then Ye Bai realized that his elder brother having four boyfriends wasn\u2019t just due to luck.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cShould I make you a necklace next? Or a choker?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The young man looked up at the man behind him, who suddenly froze, and smiled beautifully.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cWhen I designed the ring, I was already thinking about what kind of jewelry would suit you. The design is still in my light-brain. But back then\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He trailed off, his eyes lowering as if slightly downcast, then he lifted his gaze happily.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cGiving jewelry to friends is normal now, right?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cSir Ortas, would you honor me with this?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Bai watched the blush slowly appear on General Ortas\u2019s tanned face and silently sighed.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The next moment, he saw the tall man suddenly bury his face in the youth\u2019s neck, seemingly not wanting him to see his reddening, and clicked his tongue a few times.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

His elder brother truly was someone who had four boyfriends.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014This technique, anyone would be dazzled by it!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

After hearing the youth\u2019s words, General Ortas\u2019s entire aura softened from that of a freelancer to a harmless pig-nosed snake, obediently letting Ye Wangxing measure his neck.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He even occasionally echoed the young man\u2019s murmurs.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve slimmed down a bit, haven\u2019t you? Been busy with year-end reports and not eating properly?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The few people perched on the wall watched as the tall man, clearly larger than the young man, spoke as if wronged.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cThe military cafeteria food is terrible, and if you miss meal times, there\u2019s nothing to eat. Plus, you can\u2019t order delivery there\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The youth guided the light-brain around the man\u2019s neck, saying: “Why do you keep being picky? Even back then\u2026 I don\u2019t know how you grew so big\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Alina watched the warm scene, her heart fluttering wildly with youthful feelings. But\u2026<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Thinking that the youth cared about this man as he did the other three, Alina\u2019s heart sank.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

She couldn\u2019t solve this emotional problem, after all, the youth had been ex-boyfriends with these four men.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

This was what Ye Bai had told them before.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The youth still had lingering feelings, so it was normal for him to unconsciously care for them.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The problem now arose:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014The four across also still had lingering feelings!<\/i><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Wangxing, like that day with the fishing bait, only had to hang a little bait, and the four sharks snapped at it desperately.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Even the youth\u2019s lingering feelings for these four seemed equal\u2014they all received gifts.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2018I wonder who Ye Wangxing will ultimately choose. Whoever he picks, the other three will go crazy\u2026\u2019<\/i><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Alina worriedly thought, even linking it to potential changes in the empire\u2019s political situation.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

When she realized she couldn\u2019t solve this situation, she calmed down.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

If the sky fell, at least a tall person would hold it up. They could deal with things when it got that far.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Still, Alina felt frustrated. If these men were slightly more restrained and one stood out, it wouldn\u2019t be so complicated.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

When Alina looked up, she saw General Ortas walking toward the banquet, leaving only Ye Wangxing in the garden, editing something on the light-brain.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cThis is\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

With Ortas gone, Alina finally dared to speak softly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

After all, the youth didn\u2019t have Ortas\u2019s battlefield-honed hearing.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Just as Alina glanced at General Ortas, her eyes met a pair of deep green eyes.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2018Caught?!\u2019<\/i><\/span><\/p>\r\n

But Ortas only glanced at them once and turned toward the banquet, seemingly unconcerned.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Alina and her friends, pale, finally breathed a sigh of relief. They only relaxed completely when Ortas entered the banquet hall.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But just as they relaxed and looked at Ye Wangxing, an angry voice rang out: \u201cYe Wangxing! Who is he?!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The people on the wall widened their eyes and looked toward Ye Wangxing, and the person who appeared made them gasp.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014The boy confronting Ye Wangxing, face flushed, had a pair of glacier-like eyes. Wow! Prince Janus!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The people on the wall thought: it\u2019s over, over, over.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Bai feared their whole family would immediately be regarded as a thorn by His Majesty, exiled to a remote planet, or even imprisoned as criminals!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014No need to wait for Woden to ascend the throne.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Bai anxiously paced the wall while Ye Wangxing, confronted by Janus, seemed equally surprised.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cJanus? You came to this banquet too?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Wangxing\u2019s expression brightened, which stalled Janus\u2019s previously fierce momentum.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cI\u2019m obviously at this banquet. When that brat Woden sent the invitation, he used me as a lure. Don\u2019t tell me you didn\u2019t expect me here,\u201d Janus said, his face flushed.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Wangxing looked puzzled: \u201cOh? Really?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He scratched his cheek, slightly embarrassed.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cMy younger brother brought me. I\u2019ve been busy with factory matters these days, didn\u2019t carefully check the invitation. Sorry, Janus.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

His sincere apology eased some of Janus\u2019s anger, but meeting Ortas still left Janus momentarily choked.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cFine, you got away with that. But why did you talk to Ortas? And why were you so close?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The boy narrowed his glacier-like eyes, royal aura clear. His voice carried danger, and the people on the wall held their breath again.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014But the youth\u2019s next words immediately turned the boy from a polar wolf to a husky.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cJanus, I\u2019m so glad!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The youth ignored Janus\u2019s aura, gave him a friendly hug, then let go. His eyes shone as he looked at him: \u201cI thought you were mad about the previous thing, you didn\u2019t contact me all this time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Janus stood dumbfounded. His anger had faded, replaced by a blush spreading across his cheeks.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cLooks like you were busy with finals, and didn\u2019t throw away the wool blanket I knitted for you, right?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Wangxing smiled warmly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cYes\u2026 I was just busy this week. Actually, I didn\u2019t mind being a model for you. I forgot to tell you last time, sorry.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Blushing, Janus stammered.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

After the emotions settled, he remembered what he wanted to ask, though his energy to question had diminished. He only said, slightly jealous: \u201cBut Wangxing, why were you so close to Ortas? That guy\u2019s definitely not a good person!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The boy spoke seriously. The youth, however, didn\u2019t speak ill of Ortas. He only asked curiously: \u201cReally? But Sir Ortas is actually quite good.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He happily showed several business cards.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cYou know I\u2019ve been expanding southeastern systems. One Capital Star is too slow. Ortas, because of that gold ring, contacted some officials for me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Janus saw the officials were all from the southeast, and his expression turned angry.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He didn\u2019t forbid the youth from contacting them, that would be childish.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014He instead dug through his contacts and handed a few to Ye Wangxing.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cThose officials are useful but too few. He\u2019s military, doesn\u2019t know many business officials. For sanitation, firefighting, and quality inspection, I know a few, you can introduce your subordinates.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He pretended not to care, but his pride almost overflowed seeing the youth\u2019s surprise.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The youth thanked him, chatted a while, reminded him to eat properly, then left the garden after slimming down.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The people on the wall watched Janus, still lingering, shaking their heads.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

They had feared he\u2019d notice something, yet\u2026<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Wangxing hugged him, didn\u2019t pursue it, and even received his contacts.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Seeing no more excitement, Alina worried about lingering too long, so she took her friends back to the banquet.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Bai, still immersed in gossip, immediately stuck to Woden like a magnet once back at the banquet.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Alina ignored him, chatting and eating dessert with friends, when she glanced toward the pool and saw what appeared to be Woden\u2019s male companion pulling Ye Bai\u2019s hands, about to fall into the pool.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Alina immediately leapt from the sofa, and her friends, not knowing what had happened, ran toward the same direction.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But Alina panicked and could only see Ye Bai being pulled by that man, she didn\u2019t notice General Ortas and Ye Wangxing standing beside him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014She also didn\u2019t see Prince Janus rushing in from the small garden toward the banquet hall entrance.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cBang\u2014!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cSplash\u2014!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Alina stared at the pool in shock and confusion.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Bai, standing safely in place, and the male companion whom Alina had knocked aside, both looked at the two men in the pool, equally shocked and bewildered.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

A minute later, Woden stared blankly at the two by the pool, utterly confused.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Who could tell him why, just because he stepped away for a moment\u2014his uncle had somehow knocked General Ortas into the pool?<\/span><\/p>\r\n
