Bai Xingluo originally had a well-proportioned figure, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. When she donned the fitted military uniform, it accentuated his advantages even further.
Indeed, he was quite eye-catching.
Bai Xingluo didn’t quite understand how to respond; he could only bluntly state, “If you like it, I can wear it for you every day.”
“No need, I like you in other clothes as well.”
After all, someone who is good-looking attracts attention no matter what they wear.
Bai Xingluo averted his gaze, looking towards the luggage that Tong Sui had yet to finish packing. “Let me help you. I’ve already prepared hot water for you; you should go take a shower first.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Tong Sui gradually became accustomed to Bai Xingluo’s obsession with these little things.
These were trivial matters that weren’t burdensome to do, and he couldn’t refuse, so he took his clothes into the bathroom.
Bai Xingluo took off his military uniform and hung it up.
She carefully hung each of Tong Sui’s clothes inside, filling the previously empty wardrobe. The two completely different styles surprisingly matched together harmoniously.
Her light-colored eyes shone brightly, and his smile warmed the coolness that surrounded him.
She reached out and adjusted Tong Sui’s clothes to fit snugly together, eliminating any gaps.
Satisfied, he closed the wardrobe with a deep sigh, as if he were not just hanging clothes.
Inside the bathroom, steam rose as the water temperature was just right.
Tong Sui soaked in the bathtub, feeling as if every bone in his body had softened.
There must have been some soothing herbs in the water.
After soaking for several minutes, Tong Sui felt as though his skin had relaxed from within.
With a splash, he stood up and wrapped a prepared towel around himself.
His hair was damp as he walked to the sink.
In the misty mirror, he saw that his body was glistening with water droplets, and his originally pale cheeks glowed with a healthy flush.
Bai Xingluo was very attentive; he noticed that a towel and toothbrush had already been prepared, although he didn’t know when.
How could someone so considerate become such a villain?
After washing up, he opened the door.
The bedroom was neat and tidy, while Bai Xingluo stood on the balcony, seemingly communicating with someone.
Tong Sui chose not to interrupt, leisurely drying his hair.
He reflected on the unfolding plot in his mind.
According to the original storyline, Bai Xingluo was exiled to a harsh desolate planet after the trial but was intercepted by space pirates on the way there.
News of his desertion spread like wildfire across the star net.
Bai Xingluo not only bore the infamy of betrayal, unable to return to the empire he had guarded with his life, but he also needed to resist the torments of the pirate gangs.
Like a mayfly without a home, he floated between heaven and earth.
Bai Xingluo had always been in a state of mental turmoil, unable to receive normal mental comfort, and with the crumbling belief of defending the empire, he began to lose his sanity.
The pirate groups took advantage of this opportunity, attempting to brainwash him with high-spirited male insects, trying to persuade Bai Xingluo to disclose military secrets through both soft and hard tactics.
Yet even in such a situation, Bai Xingluo still rejected the males’ proximity, even if it meant torturing himself to maintain his sanity, stubbornly refusing to utter a word.
But the spectators on the star net wouldn’t be willing to believe; they would always cling to their opinions, guessing others’ thoughts through their vile minds.
And some people simply didn’t need the truth.
Lu Ting, the protagonist’s attack, took advantage of this public sentiment to propose to the insect emperor that he lead a military expedition to repel the arrogant space pirates.
He had considerable popularity on the star net, and with support from financial magnates, he surprisingly got approval to lead the troops.
A male insect with no experience and not even familiar with piloting mechas, the outcomes were predictable.
The military suffered heavy casualties, and Lu Ting was captured as a prisoner.
However, he was still the protagonist and caught the attention of the head of the space pirates, who was the protagonist’s love interest as well.
The protagonist, with strong mental power and commanding the pirates, had effectively combined the forces of the financial magnates, military, and the pirates, rapidly ascending to insect emperor. To solidify his position, he subsequently took multiple noble female attendants.
Meanwhile, the once-glorious General Bai Xingluo was left unmentioned; no one knew whatever became of him.
When Tong Sui first viewed this part of the plot, he did not feel as strongly as he did now.
However, after experiencing the so-called villain up close within the plot, he felt an overwhelming discomfort at the maliciously designed narrative.
Considering the timing, the pirate group should now be lingering around the empire’s nearby star systems.
But they probably didn’t expect that while they intended to take advantage, Tong Sui had already been a step ahead, taking Bai Xingluo back instead.
Under normal circumstances, those filthy insects wouldn’t have been Bai Xingluo’s match.
Meanwhile, on the balcony, Bai Xingluo received a report from Xie Feibai.
“General, the pirate group has recently been active near the imperial star, attacking the military forces guarding the border stars. We’ve dispatched a team to investigate; how do you think we should proceed?”
Xie Feibai had been Bai Xingluo’s aide for over a decade, and even though the General was currently suspended from duty, he still reported every detail as per usual.
By military regulations, Bai Xingluo had no right to interfere or know such information.
Their actions were technically a violation of the rules.
Bai Xingluo replied, “The empire has arranged a new leader for you; you should communicate more.”
“General!”
Just as Bai Xingluo was about to hang up, Xie Feibai hurriedly said, “The newcomer is just a waste in the royal family; no one in the military respects him. We can’t leave you!”
