Falling in love while doing tasks [Quick Wear]

"Klot? Why does it sound so familiar?"
Xiang Rong frowned slightly, but couldn't remember where she had heard it before.

Song Xu smiled slightly and met Salman's shocked expression.
"I'm from the Free Planet of the Klott Star Belt. Perhaps you are more familiar with the name of the Ghost Pirate."

"Ghost Star Pirates? Cloth Star Belt? Xiaoxu, are you kidding me?"
Xiang Rong said in surprise, turned her head to look at Salman's serious expression, and her heart suddenly sank.

Shu Shengyi held Song Xu's hand tightly and stood up. He bowed to the two old men, then smiled and said:
"I'm sorry to scare you two, but Ah Xu is not joking. I was kidnapped and hid on a smuggling merchant ship bound for the Kodo Federation. It was Ah Xu who saved me. If it weren't for Ah Xu, I might not be able to stand here and speak now."

"what?"
Xiang Rong was horrified, but after a moment her face showed more worry and relief.

"Are you a member of the Phantom Pirates?"
Salman's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, staring straight at Song Xu.

"Yes."
Song Xu was not afraid at all. She continued to look at him with calm eyes and a faint smile on her lips.
"To be exact, I am the leader of this generation of ghosts."

If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Salman would have wanted to gasp.

From ancient times to the present, the Ghost Pirates have been living in the Clot Star Belt, and no one has ever seen the true face of any of them.
Even the smugglers who had been captured had only seen them wearing masks.
The Ghost Pirates are wandering around Clot like ghosts, mysterious, powerful and dangerous.

Today, he met the leader of the Phantom Pirates, a young Beta girl, who was also the girlfriend of his most proud subordinate.

For a moment, Salman felt a little complicated. But he still waved his hand, indicating that the two should sit down first.

Xiang Rong's idea was simpler. She had heard of the Ghost Star Pirates and knew that they were the ones who effectively curbed the crime of human trafficking carried out secretly by unscrupulous merchants.

And now their leader is right in front of her, and he is the child she fell in love with at first sight.
She believed that the ghost pirates led by Song Xu must also be a team composed of just and kind people.

Gently patting Song Xu's arm, Xiang Rong's smile became more loving.
"Xiao Xu, can you tell me something interesting about your hometown?"

"of course can."
Seeing the reactions of the two elderly people, Song Xu's slightly tense nerves were completely relaxed, and his expression became more natural.

Shu Shengyi noticed that Salman's expression was tangled for a while, then he fell into deep thought and finally calmed down, and he breathed a sigh of relief. The two people's clasped hands loosened a little, and the slightly hot temperature in their palms slowly cooled down.

The joyful time passed by unknowingly, and by the time Song Xu had told several interesting stories, it was already noon.
Salman glanced at the time and it was time to cook. He did not interrupt the two people who were chatting happily. He just stood up and called Shu Shengyi away.

Although Salman is a respected and admired imperial general outside, at home, he is an Alpha husband who can master cooking skills for his wife.

Shu Shengyi followed him into the kitchen, watched Salman take out the ingredients from the freezer, and hurried over to help wash them.

The two of them stood in front of the cooking table, each washing the ingredients quickly.

Salman took the time to look up at her, and couldn't help but praise her at her skillful movements. "Not bad, you can cook in just a few days?"

Shu Shengyi smiled and washed the ingredients and put them on a plate on the side.
"I only know how to eat, not how to cook. Ah Xu's cooking skills are very good, and the most I can do is to help out."

"It's good to be able to help. I didn't know you. In order to save trouble, you lived on nutrient solution in the barracks. Even after coming to my house several times, you didn't have a good meal."
Salman moved very quickly, cleaning the counter while complaining.

"Yeah, now I think about it, I don't know how I got through those ten years. It wasn't until I ate the bowl of sweet porridge made by Ah Xu that I felt like I was finally alive again."
Shu Sheng, who could only help wash the vegetables, also withdrew from the front line of cooking. He leaned on the other side with his hands folded, watching Salman cut all the ingredients skillfully.

Hearing this, Salman slowed down his cutting speed a little, and then he let out a long sigh and said:
"Thank you for your hard work over the years. You have been leading your warriors in endless explorations of remote galaxies. I also experienced that feeling when I was young. It is not pleasant."

Shu Shengyi raised his head slightly and looked at the blue and white floating lights on the ceiling, and said softly: "No matter how uncomfortable it is, it's over. I am very satisfied now."

"Yeah, now you little girl can relax, but an old man like me has to stay until the end of the month."
Salman turned to look at her with a slightly envious expression on his face.

"I haven't told you yet that your retirement report has been approved. I just received the news before you came. It was a video message sent to me by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself." "So soon?"
Shu Sheng was also a little confused. She should have been relieved but it felt very unreal.

"Hmm, maybe you're lucky."
Salman started to heat the oil in a pan, took out the only seasoning: salt and put it aside, and said:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hinted that the Second Prince had fallen into trouble. Judging from the tone of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he had committed a serious crime. His Majesty is having a headache, so he can't take care of you."

"Then I have to thank him a lot, but what could he have done wrong? Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came out to handle the matter personally?"
Shu Shengyi was not idle either. He took the bowls and chopsticks and put them on the dining table in the dining room, then came back to serve the dishes.

"Anyway, it won't be a good thing, but since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has taken over, the impact won't be that big. Let's just wait and see if there will be any results announced in the end."
Salman waved the spatula and urged Shu Shengyi, "Go and ask them to come over for dinner. Really, once they start talking, they can't stop."

Shu Sheng also agreed, then took the prepared rice out and walked into the living room to remind Song Xu and Xiang Rong who were gathered together looking at the online mall.
"Aunt Rong, Ah Xu is almost ready for dinner, let's go to the dining room first."

The two people who were discussing the new styles of the season were a little reluctant to be interrupted, but the increasingly strong smell of food in the air only attracted their attention.

Xiang Rong put away the smart brain and stood up. She took Song Xu's hand affectionately and said with a smile: "Let's eat first. We'll have plenty of opportunities to talk about this later."

"it is good."
Song Xu nodded in agreement. His well-behaved appearance was extremely pleasing, and Xiang Rong's heart softened more and more.

Shu Shengyi smiled as he watched the two people getting along harmoniously, and found that Song Xu was no longer as nervous as he was at the beginning. A bright smile appeared on his face that touched everyone's heart.

Song Xu also looked over, her eyes sparkling with excitement. The two looked at each other, their eyes full of deep love.

Xiang Rong smiled without saying a word. Watching the interaction between the two young people, she felt as if she had eaten candy and felt sweet to the heart.

In the evening, after having a sumptuous dinner at General Salman's house, Song Xu and Shu Shengyi slowly walked back to their residence.

Along the way, Song Xu keenly felt that Shu Shengyi was in a good mood, and she could probably guess the reason.
But she didn't ask, just waited for Shu Shengyi to speak on his own initiative.
Maybe she was just gambling, gambling whether Shu Shengyi in this world had really fallen in love with her.

System 33 has fallen into hibernation and will not wake up until Shu Shengyi's mission is % completed.
So Song Xu could only rely on his own heart to feel Shu Shengyi's feelings for him.

But in front of Shu Shengyi, Song Xu will never learn to be confident. She can only rely on luck and slowly guess every hard-earned emotion.

Song Xu hid his emotional changes very well, and Shu Sheng didn't notice at all.
She tried hard to suppress the infinite joy that was about to burst out from the bottom of her heart and pretended to be calm, but she didn't know that her happiness had already been exposed.

It was already dark when they returned to their residence. As soon as they entered the room, Shu Shengyi made an excuse that he wanted to drink some water and asked Song Xu to go upstairs first.
Song Xu didn't say anything, just nodded and went up the stairs.
Shu Shengyi looked at Song Xu's back and felt that she was a little tired after going out with him today. After all, Aunt Rong's enthusiasm was not something that ordinary people could withstand.

While feeling sorry for his wife, Shu Shengyi hid behind the kitchen door, opened his personal intelligent brain and sent a message.

After a while, she received a reply, and her eyes lit up. Then she sent several messages in a row, and only then did Shu Shengyi put away the smart brain with satisfaction.

Holding the cup of water, he slipped to the stairs and listened to the noise upstairs for a while, then tiptoed towards the door step by step.

Song Xu went upstairs to get her clothes and went straight into the bathroom. When she came out of the shower, she didn't see Shu Shengyi in the bedroom.

The wet hair was still hanging on her shoulders, but Song Xu held a towel in her hand but did not wipe it. Large patches of water slowly soaked through her cotton pajamas, bringing a sense of inexplicable coolness.

Looking at the bedroom with gray and blue tones, Song Xu felt a chill in his heart. Standing here, he couldn't hear anything going on downstairs, and the silence made Song Xu feel a little breathless.

Holding the towel tightly in his hand, Song Xu turned and left the bedroom expressionlessly. He walked down the stairs, and the brightly lit living room was empty. He then went into the dining room and kitchen, but there was no one there either.
I turned my head to look out the window. The night was falling. Thick clouds covered all the stars and the crescent moon. The wind started to pick up and a storm was about to come.

Bright white light sprinkled in the empty room. Song Xu stood there motionless, lowering his eyes slightly to look at his own shadow clearly reflected on the floor. His cold heart finally sank gradually.
