“You came all this way just for this flower?”
Hu Tu, whose entire body was a mess, watched as Lin Hao, as if he had found a supreme treasure, meticulously applied layer after layer of mental energy shielding to the simple white flower.
He asked with a tone of exasperation.
Despite his body being on the verge of collapse, he still kept wasting mental energy to add protection to the flower.
Did he truly have any mental energy left?
Lin Hao, after ensuring the flower was safe, turned to him and asked, "Do you regret it now?"
Regret coming to this dangerous place with him.
Although they hadn't encountered the Zerg, they had met many ancient creatures.
Each one was a being they couldn't defeat.
Their two-day stay here was the absolute limit.
"Why would I regret it? I'm happy anyway," Hu Tu leaned against the wall and said nonchalantly.
He had nothing else to do wherever he was, and he only annoyed the old man. Wasn't it better for everyone if he was out here now?
They had found a small cave to recuperate, as the creatures on this planet could easily crush their mechs.
So, they decided to rush out once their mental energy had recovered sufficiently.
The next day, their mental energy had mostly recovered, and they piloted their mechs directly towards the direction of the atmosphere.
Just as they were nearing the atmosphere, Lin Hao suddenly spotted a strange large bird appearing in the clouds behind Hu Tu.
'If you want Fei'er to be well, you must observe and protect the people on the first two pages properly, otherwise, I can ensure you never see her again.'
At this moment, Zhao Jianye's voice suddenly echoed in Lin Hao's mind.
Then, Fei'er's face appeared.
Without a moment's hesitation, he used all his remaining mental energy to rush behind Hu Tu, using his mech to shield them from the strange bird's attack.
Due to the impact, the mech's control interface cracked again. Lin Hao, sitting in the pilot's seat, looked at the mech Ye Xue had given him; it was functioning normally before, but now alarms were blaring everywhere.
'Warning, warning, propulsion system damaged, thirty seconds until complete loss of function.'
'Warning, warning, raw material storage room has completely lost function.'
'Warning, warning, observation equipment damaged, please repair immediately.'
However, Lin Hao, who should have responded to these machines, couldn't utter a word.
The monster bird's claw had nearly pierced Lin Hao's heart, missing his vital organ by only a dozen centimeters.
To prevent the mech from plummeting faster, he used all his strength to operate it.
"Lin Hao, Ri Tian, what's wrong? Answer me."
Hu Tu, protected by Lin Hao, had a premonition of disaster when he saw Lin Hao's mech heading towards him.
By the time Hu Tu saw Lin Hao, all he saw was a shattered mech and the large bird nearby.
This.
Had he saved him?
Even though they had been on cold terms for over a year, why did he still want to save him?
Hu Tu quickly piloted his mech, moving behind Lin Hao's mech to shield it, and swiftly flew towards the atmosphere.
This was not the time for sentimentality; the primary mission was to escape this cursed place as quickly as possible.
Fortunately, the strange bird did not pursue them.
They reached space and spotted a spaceship not far away.
Hu Tu, carrying the severely injured Lin Hao, directly entered the spaceship. His mech had been conveniently stored in his spatial ring. As he entered the spaceship, Hu Tu noticed a strange atmosphere around him.
He placed Lin Hao in a clean spot and casually found a seat for himself.
He observed the pirates, who were eager to act.
He casually touched the blood on his face. The bright red blood made his pale cheeks even more striking, perfectly complementing his hair color. He smiled at them and asked, "Do you think these few of you can defeat me?"
He had initially thought they would behave, these scum of the universe. If Lin Hao hadn't told him to spare their lives back then, he would have killed them all directly.
Besides, he had been piloting ships like this since he was eight years old.
Did they need to lead the way?
Hu Tu leaned back against the seat, his gaze casually sweeping over the group of people holding weapons.
"There aren't that many of you. I expected more. If you want to fight, fight. If not, just send me to Fenglan High School."
Everyone glanced at the big bearded man in the pilot's seat. The big bearded man glared at them, then smiled and said to Hu Tu, "What are you talking about, Dad? I'll send you guys back right away. You should get some rest."
At that moment, if it hadn't been for the person holding the young man, he would have truly seen the killing intent filling the young man's eyes.
Despite being seasoned warriors, their killing aura was no match for the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy's.
Were these people truly so oblivious?
The father of the one in the middle was unconscious, and no one dared to control this father!
Hu Tu glanced at them again, briefly bandaged Lin Hao's wounds, applied some medicine, and then leaned against him, falling asleep.
Since you protected me so fiercely.
No matter why you approached me, no matter what demands you make in the future, I will do my best to help you.
Time flew by.
Lin Hao's wounds were slowly healing.
That group of people, after dropping them off, quickly fled.
Because they were wanted criminals.
Lin Hao tidied himself up and bid farewell to Hu Tu. After a long journey, he arrived at the Zhao family's mansion.
He directly found Zhao Jianye and asked loudly, "Is Fei'er back?"
Zhao Jianye, who had been poring over documents, looked up at Lin Hao, who was covered in blood. A flicker of disgust crossed his eyes, and he replied, "Fei'er isn't back yet. Didn't I tell you not to come back without a good reason?"
"I came to deliver something for you."
Lin Hao, not noticing the disgust in Zhao Jianye's eyes, directly produced the well-preserved small white flower.
Zhao Jianye glanced at the plain-looking white flower and scoffed, "Do you think Fei'er would like this kind of thing? What does she want that I won't give her? This kind of cheap stuff is what people like you from small places would think she likes. It's just a flower, who doesn't have flowers?"
He seemed oblivious to Lin Hao's darkening expression as he continued, "She deserves better. Stop embarrassing yourself here and get lost."
"I want to know what Fei'er truly thinks."
Lin Hao was not discouraged by Zhao Jianye's few words. After all, he only cared about Fei'er.
What did other people's opinions matter?
"Since you want to hear her refusal, I won't stop you."
Zhao Jianye casually dialed a video call, and within a minute, the girl Lin Hao yearned for appeared.
"Fei'er, I picked this for you. Do you like it? Look, this is for you. You've probably never seen it before. You must like these little trinkets, right? If you like it, I can help you." pick more.
"No, it's disgusting."
Before Lin Hao could finish speaking, he saw the princess-like girl on the other side look at the flower stained with his blood with utter disdain and say.
Then, without another word, she hung up the call.
"Since you've heard Fei'er's words, you can get out now."
Zhao Jianye said this after seeing what happened and then no longer paid attention to Lin Hao.
Lin Hao didn't know how he made it to school.
Right. She wouldn't like such a plain flower.
Perhaps it was truly only people like him from small places who thought a princess would like it.
But.
He truly wished she would see this and like it.
Had he really been wrong?
"What's wrong? Where have you been these past few days?"
A slightly cold but caring voice echoed from above Lin Hao's head.
Why was Qin Mohan here?
Hearing the concerned words, Lin Hao, for some reason, felt an inexplicable urge to cry.
He compulsively brought the white flower, stained with his blood, before them. Tears like soybeans rolled down his cheeks.
He sobbed and asked, "You... you don't want it either?"
