Arc 2 – Slag that Interstellar Admiral
Chapter 41

Louis gave him his oath, but Chi Zhao didn’t return one to him.

Right now, in Chi Zhao’s eyes, Louis was a 1.88m tall siren. At any moment, he may start flashing red lights and call for the police.

Chi Zhao gazed silently into Louis’s eyes and had no intention to respond. Finally, under the system’s reminder, he replied dryly, “Oh, okay. Thank you.”

Louis: “……..”

Back home, the two told their parents. Louis’s family was fine with it and his parents were happy to hear the news. In contrast, the Shao family almost fell apart.

Madam Shao immediately summoned her eldest son back from the military with the reason that ‘there was an emergency at home’. When Shao Zelin hurried back and heard what happened, he was first stunned for a moment before he turned and looked at his younger brother, “You’re going to marry Louis West?”

 Chi Zhao nodded.

Shao Zelin fell into thought for a moment, “I see. Let me know when the wedding date is set so that I can take leave.”

The rest of the Shao family: “……..”

Madam Shao had called him back with the intention to get him to dissuade Shao Ze’an because the latter seemed very determined, as if not marrying West right away would kill him. Seeing her oldest son’s reaction, Madam Shao immediately stood up and transferred her anger onto her oldest son.

That night, the entire family was in chaos for most of the night.

After returning from the Death Galaxy, Shao Ze’an’s personality had undergone great changes. Before, Madam Shao could control him somewhat but now, seeing her youngest son’s calm and determined look, Madam Shao finally understood what it meant when a son is no longer a child.

No one could convince him and both families have met so it basically meant that they are now engaged. Even if they get married tomorrow, they have already gone through all the proper procedures so no one could make any critical remarks about it.

Madam Shao almost collapsed. She was now very certain that this was a trap set up together by Louis and Shao Ze’an and they had been waiting for this day.

The parents couldn’t persuade him, and the grandfather had no intention to be involved. As they were defeated one after another, they had no choice but to agree to this matter. Chi Zhao sat quietly in the chair and lowered his eyes. He once again couldn’t help but express —– This original owner’s life is just too dramatic. He is both very lucky and very unfortunate. He was born into the best family in the entire empire and should’ve lived the happiest and most comfortable life, but god unfortunately didn’t have that in mind for him.

It was now early in the morning. If they don’t sleep now, the sky would soon be bright. Chi Zhao rubbed his eyes sleepily and stood up, preparing to return to his room. After taking a few steps, he suddenly realised that he wasn’t the only one here; Shao Zelin had not yet left.

As the two looked at each other, Chi Zhao suddenly felt a little nervous.

Shao Zelin looked at him calmly. There were no fluctuations in his eyes. He just quietly looked at Chi Zhao for a while and then asked him a question.

“Do you really like Admiral West?”

Chi Zhao paused for a moment. He blinked a few times and just as he was about to speak, Shao Zelin frowned, “You don’t like him.”

Chi Zhao: “……” But he hadn’t said anything yet!

People with S-grade spiritual power can easily tell if the other party was lying but Shao Zelin was able to reach this conclusion not because of his spiritual power but because Chi Zhao’s emotions were clearly shown on his face. Even Chi Zhao himself didn’t realise that he would subconsciously show some of his real emotions in front of his family. His parents were too concerned about him, so they didn’t notice it but Shao Zelin who wasn’t too affected by the marriage news had no trouble noticing it.

He couldn’t understand it, “If you don’t like him, why are you marrying him and why in such a hurry?”

Morris’s voice sounded again. He probably felt that Shao Ze’an’s acting wasn’t very good, so he had prepared something like this in advance to deal with it. Hearing the scripted lines read out by Morris, the corners of Chi Zhao’s lips twitched a few times.

Shao Zelin who had been watching him intently all this time naturally didn’t miss this change. He found it even stranger, “Xiao An, you…….”

Before he could ask further, Chi Zhao suddenly spoke, his voice a little stiff, “I…..I don’t like him but I want to conquer him.”

Shao Zelin: “……..What did you say?”

“…….Yeah, I want to conquer him. He is the Empire’s admiral, one of the Empire’s star duo. No one has ever been able to walk by his side. If I can do it, it will prove that I am not useless.”

After reading out those shameful lines, the rest were a lot easier to say. Chi Zhao raised his eyes and said seriously, “Brother, we’re both our parent’s sons. You have your strengths and I have mine. My strength is to make the star admiral fall in love with me, become obsessed with me and surrender to me.”

Once he was done with saying the lines Morris had prepared, Chi Zhao couldn’t help but complain to the system, “What kind of rubbish lines are those?! It’s too ridiculous!”

About three seconds later, the system’s voice sounded.

【Haha.】

Chi Zhao: “………..”

Turning his attention back to Shao Zelin, Chi Zhao noticed that his expression wasn’t what he had expected. Shao Zelin looked at him strangely. He didn’t seem to be shocked, but he was looking at Chi Zhao as if he didn’t recognise him. After long period of silence, he slowly approached Chi Zhao and carefully looked at him.

Chi Zhao subconsciously took a step back. Once he was done, Shao Zelin straightened up again and frowned, “Xiao An, this isn’t…..” something you would say.

Before he could say the next four words, Chi Zhao’s brain suddenly rang an alarm. His strong intuition told him that Shao Zelin must not be allowed to finish this sentence and, if he does, Chi Zhao’s life would be in danger.

Out of instinctive reaction, Chi Zhao immediately spoke up, “This is really what I think, brother. Don’t ask me about it anymore. Although I don’t like him, I like the way I feel now. Marriage doesn’t necessarily have to happen out of love. It’s fine as long as I’m happy, isn’t that right?”

Shao Zelin was stunned. He could only change his words, “Alright then. If that’s what you want.”

Hearing this, Chi Zhao nodded and turned back to his room.

Shao Zelin watched his leaving back and couldn’t help but feel that something wasn’t right with his younger brother. Even after Chi Zhao’s figure had disappeared, he was still standing there. After a long time, he slowly paced back to his room.

There was no wedding, no ceremony. Standing at the Marriage Registration Centre and watching the staff register his marriage, Chi Zhao was finally able to set down the stone in his hart.

Plot point………. Completed!

Chi Zhao was very excited. Even his expression showed rare excitement. Louis turned his head and looked at him tenderly.

“Shall we go home now?”

Before leaving, Chi Zhao had already packed everything up. When he heard this question, he looked up at Louis and smiled faintly, “Yes, let’s go.”

The wedding ceremony would be held after graduation. Madam Shao was very dissatisfied with this, but she also understood that a decent wedding couldn’t be arranged in such a short time. Seeing the newlyweds, Madam Shao however was still upset. Even until the family banquet began, she didn’t have a good attitude towards Louis.

Louis understood her feelings very well. No matter how sharp her words to him were, he didn’t react and just continued to treat her politely. In the end, even Madam Shao felt bad about her treatment of him.

After sending off the adults, Chi Zhao stood at the door, watching their hovercars get smaller and smaller in the distance. Louis turned around and gently held Chi Zhao by the waist, “Go in now?”

Chi Zhao’s body stiffened. This position was a lot more ambiguous than the hug they shared before due to

special circumstances. It wasn’t that he hadn’t done it with others before, but the person who held him at the time was Li Yihan. He was willing to be touched by the other party but, now, the person touching him was Louis.

Right now, they weren’t under any special circumstances and the two of them are also very sober, so it wasn’t done out of impulse. Chi Zhao subconsciously wanted to resist Louis. Louis also sensed the person in his arms stiffen. He was surprised for a moment and looked down at Chi Zhao. Chi Zhao quickly readjusted his state and looked up at Louis with a natural expression, “What is it?”

Louis paused. He shook his head and said, “Nothing.”

After saying this, his hand lowered naturally. He then turned and went inside first before turning back to look at Chi Zhao with a smile in his eyes, “It’s time to go home, my wife.”

He acted as if nothing had happened. Chi Zhao was silent for a moment before following along and going back with him. Although he looked calm, both his arms were in fact very tense and he didn’t know where to put them.

“System, I suddenly thought of a problem.”

【Speak.】

“That is…….You see how Louis is right now? Do you think it is likely for him to let me live a life on par to that of a widow?”

After not hearing the systems response for a long time, Chi Zhao said, “You can say it. I can bear with it.”

【Then I’ll say it straight. From the looks of it, Louis is——–】

Before it could finish speaking, Chi Zhao changed his mind, “Stop, stop, stop. Don’t say it. I’ve realised that I’ve overestimated myself. If you don’t say it, I will be okay but if you do, I definitely won’t be able to bear with it!”

System: “……”

【Then what should we do? You’ve already moved into his place. Isn’t this equivalent to personally entering the tiger’s den? With the food right in front of him, how could he not eat it?】

Chi Zhao didn’t want to have any physical contact with someone he didn’t like. What’s more, the plot also didn’t mention anything about giving up his body! His task was to act, and the script didn’t mention it so why should he sacrifice himself? Since he had deceived him until this point, it wouldn’t hurt deceiving him a little more. There must be a way for him to not be driven out of Louis’s place but also at the same time keep his morality safe.

While Chi Zhao frantically tried to find an excuse for himself, Louis who had been following behind him suddenly spoke up, “Xiao An.”

Chi Zhao looked back subconsciously. After turning around, he realised that Louis had changed his way of calling him. He was stunned for a moment before quickly accepting this more intimate title. It was just a name; it didn’t matter what he was called.

He called his name but didn’t say anything after that. Louis’s place was decorated rather simply, and everything was spotlessly clean. One could tell with one glance that it was a soldier’s residence. Standing in the lobby on the first floor, Chi Zhao looked up and saw that the interior had a central courtyard and there was even a floating corridor stretching across the second floor. Suddenly, the vision ahead darkened. Chi Zhao moved his gaze back and looked questioningly at Louis who was now standing in front of him.

Louis was also looking at him. He reached out and rubbed Chi Zhao’s head again. This level of touching was something Chi Zhao had already grown used to, so he obediently stayed in place, accepting it. After a moment of rubbing, Louis’s hand once again rested onto the back of his neck. As he rubbed the young mans smooth and delicate skin, Louis spoke up again, “There is something I haven’t heard you say to me.”
