forced guardianship

"Dean happened to be on vacation today. I didn't expect to meet us here by chance." Reunited with his friend, the young earl, who was obviously in high spirits, seemed very happy in his tone and expression.

The lieutenant general showed a decent smile and said, "What a coincidence, Dean? I remembered that I invited you to my farewell party, but you refused."

Dean blushed and said, "That's what happened, your memory is really good."

The lieutenant general narrowed his eyes and said, "Where, I only remember special people and things."

Dean blushed even more, and looked at Joshua as if he was at a loss, but saw his friend frowned slightly, staring at the lieutenant general with displeasure.Dean felt strange, scratched his hair, and said, "Well, the lieutenant general is now wanted by the new army all over the world, why don't we go to another place and continue talking?"

When Dean went to pick up the aircraft, Joshua and his guardian were waiting under the stone steps of the club. The lights inside the door shrouded their backs, making their faces not so clear in the night.

Sean looked up at the twinkling stars, and seemed to find it very interesting. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said in a low voice: "My former subordinate helped me get a temporary pass for the military supply depot. Fuxi can go to the nearest military supply depot to replenish fuel. As long as the fuel is sufficient , Fuxi can try to open the time rift, if all goes well, by this time tomorrow, we will be on our home planet."

Fuxi cheered happily, but Joshua just nodded and said, "OK."

Xiao En glanced at him and asked with a smile: "Aren't you happy to hear that your fugitive career is about to end?"

"I think I need to confirm," Joshua said with a straight face, "What kind of people and things are special to you?"

Fuxi gloated and said, "Ahh..."

Sean reached out and took off the alloy buttons on Joshua's chest, then put his hands into the pockets of his coat, and said with a light smile, "Relax, I'm just talking casually." Fu Xi's dying moan came from the pocket.

Joshua was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I hate to hear you flirting with other people."

Sean turned his face away and said amusedly, "You think I'm flirting with your friends?"

Joshua was really angry, and his tone became harsh: "Please get rid of this habit of not flirting and you will die, can you? Not only tagging other people is called cheating, flirting with others is also a sign of being unfaithful to your partner."

"Then let me answer your first question first, what kind of people and things are special to me?" Sean said solemnly, "People and things related to my baby are special to me." Say it's special."

The little count blinked twice, his expression softened, and he said, "Dean has a crush on you, don't tease him, he will take it seriously."

The lieutenant general said disapprovingly: "Really? According to my observation, he is not single. Your friend is not very reliable, but you trust him very much."

Joshua asked strangely, "Why do you say he is unreliable?"

Xiao En laughed and said, "If I remember correctly, you took a lot of risks to cheat for the exam a year ago, as if it was to help him graduate smoothly."

"...he just didn't have very good grades." Joshua defended his friend.

"There are too many reasons for poor grades, and unreliability is obviously one of them. By the way, he just mentioned the number of the unit he served in. I can be sure that the unit is stationed in another town [-] kilometers away from here. Why did he come all the way here for vacation?"

Joshua guessed: "Probably because the capital is more prosperous here."

Sean sneered and said, "It's more likely that his lover is stationed here."

Joshua asked curiously: "How did you know that he is not single? And how do you know that the other party is also a soldier?"

Sean shrugged his shoulders and said: "After you pay attention, you will find that the epaulettes of his coat are the rank of corporal, but the shirt that is exposed at the collar has the collar patch of a sergeant. That shirt is definitely not his. So, what kind Only two people who are related have the chance to wear the wrong clothes?" He deliberately lowered the tone of the last sentence, and looked at Joshua's oversized dark gray coat from the corner of his eyes, whether intentionally or not.

Joshua looked down at himself with a thoughtful expression.

A few seconds later, Fuxi in the lieutenant general's pocket said in a muffled voice, "Little cutie, do you really know what flirting is?"

Soon, Dean came to his residence with his friends and lieutenant general.

"I often come to the capital, so I specially rented this apartment for convenience." Dean explained, "It's a little small, don't mind."

Joshua looked around and asked, "Do you live alone?"

Dean said: "...Yes."

Joshua looked at him strangely, and said, "You hesitate."

Dean: "..."

Lieutenant General Kent coughed and said, "Dean, can you get me a drink?"

Dean immediately said: "What will the lieutenant general want to drink? Juice? No, no, the juice belongs to the little earl. How about a glass of dark beer in the future?"

The lieutenant general smiled and said, "Thank you, but if possible, please pour a cup of hot milk for our little Earl."

"Of course!" Dean hid in the kitchen with a sigh of relief.

The lieutenant general and the young count looked at each other for a moment, and the young count said, "He doesn't want me to know."

The lieutenant general nodded and said, "Obviously so."

The little count was quite dissatisfied, puffed his cheeks, and said disappointedly: "Dean actually has a secret."

The lieutenant general sat down on the sofa on one side and said casually, "It means he has grown up."

That night, Lieutenant General Kent slumped on the sofa in the living room, and the two little friends who had reunited after a long absence closed the door of the bedroom, telling each other about their farewell and divorce.

Dean rolled around on the bed with his pillow in his arms, and said excitedly, "I live under the same roof as Lieutenant General Kent! Hahahahahaha!"

Joshua sat cross-legged on the head of the bed with another pillow in his arms, and said, "You have ruined all the emotions I had brewed. What is the point of your concern?"

"Of course it's you!" Dean quickly got up and said, "What is the lieutenant general going to do? The arrest warrants have been issued to various cities, and the command is sure that he hasn't left Senna Star yet. The situation is not very good."

Joshua said speechlessly: "As expected, you would put away your pretentious shyness when he is not in front of you."

Dean rubbed his face against the pillow, and said shyly, "Don't pay attention to these details, you know that I am completely immune to the Lieutenant General's handsome face."

"I don't want to discuss these ubiquitous details with you." Joshua put the pillow in his arms across his knees, resting his chin with one hand, and asked, "Do you want to walk with us?"

Dean was a little distressed immediately, and said: "Actually, when the new army issued the joint announcement, the headquarters issued a document stating that officers and soldiers below the rank of captain who have relatives serving in the alliance government can apply to leave, and a special spaceship will be dispatched to send them away. return to the capital."

Joshua asked strangely, "Then why are you still here?"

Dean murmured, "In short, there is a reason."

Joshua said helplessly: "Be sober. If you wait until the official war begins, T92 will be the main force of the new army. It is very likely that you will be sent to the front line. Maybe we will meet again on the battlefield as enemies."

Dean buried his face in the pillow like an ostrich.

Joshua touched him with his toes, and said, "Do you think it's worth it for anyone or anything?"

Dean raised his head, looked at the other party seriously, and asked, "Do you think it's worth it to come to such a dangerous place for the lieutenant general?"

Joshua looked surprised, and said after a while: "I see."

After being serious for less than half a minute, Dean rubbed against him with a wretched face, and whispered, "Why did the lieutenant general fall in love with you, a brat?"

Joshua glared at him and said, "Won't I grow up?"

Dean rubbed his chin and said, "It's just strange that the lieutenant general's taste in choosing a mate has changed so much."

Joshua blinked in confusion, and asked, "What did he like in the past?"

Dean said gossipingly: "As you know, the lieutenant general has a lot of fans, especially on this planet where he lives all year round, there will be scandals about him almost every once in a while, although there are many fans afterwards. It has been proven to be false, but... there is a legend, which is said to be highly credible."

Joshua asked, "What legend?"

"Are you sure you want to listen?" Dean said deliberately, as if trying to whet his appetite, "Don't cry after listening."

At noon the next day, the Kent nephew said goodbye to Dean.

Dean, who still couldn't get up naturally in front of the lieutenant general, pulled Joshua aside with an excuse, and slipped a card to him quietly.

"A small number of anti-war people are sent to the capital every day. You can board the spaceship back to the capital smoothly with this spaceship ticket." Dean stuffed the transparent card into Joshua's tool bag and said, "Of course I I hope you and the lieutenant general will move smoothly... In short, be prepared, he has a high-level mecha for self-defense, but you don't, in case of any special circumstances, this spaceship ticket should be able to help you."

Joshua was a little moved and said, "Thank you, Dean."

Dean scratched his head and said unnaturally: "Don't show such an expression, alas, this ticket is very expensive, remember to pay me back in the future."

Joshua said, "...you bought it on the black market again?"

Lieutenant General Kent looked into the room, and the two teenagers in the room were whispering something, as if reluctant to part.

Fuxi whispered: "Fortunately, he is a beta, otherwise you must have no chance."

The lieutenant general licked his lower lip and said, "Fortunately, I'm not a mecha, otherwise there must be no chance at all."

Fuxi: "..."

The munitions depot they chose was on the outskirts of the capital, not far from the urban area, the scale was not large, and the guards were relatively loose.The reason for choosing here is of course that the safety factor is relatively high.

The guard at the entrance hastily glanced at the temporary ID. The bearded lieutenant general and Fuxi who had turned into a low-level mech did not attract their attention. Instead, they stared at the young count who was not wanted for a long time before finally Return the documents to them and let them in.

After a long way through the entrance gate, Joshua breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought there was something wrong, and they could see something."

Sean whispered: "It was indeed seen."

"Huh?" Joshua suddenly became nervous.

Xiao En chuckled and said, "Next time I take you out, I'll make you look ugly."
