I have no pheromones, you smelled wrong

Heinrich's movements and expressions froze for a moment, and it always made people feel that there was a flash of confusion in the sharp and strange light golden eyes.

It was the first time he knew that Lin Xu could joke, and he didn't know how to reply for a moment.

"What does the marshal want to tell me?"

Fortunately, Lin Xu asked in person, breaking the short-term deadlock between the two.

Heinrich finally had the opportunity to speak: "After a long table dinner, you follow me and sit by my side."

But Lin Xu walked along the end of the corridor, looked in through a gap in the restaurant door, and shook his head lightly, "Marshal, if you sit next to Commander Hill, I won't join in the fun."

"Who will guarantee your safety?"

Lin Xu chuckled, "It's been so many days, can't the marshal trust me in my ability to protect myself?"

He fought alongside Heinrich in "Star Sea" and never tried to hide his skills.If you don't use the mecha, Heinrich, the commander who floats in the universe every day, may not be able to beat Lin Xu in melee combat.

Heinrich frowned slightly, but it made Lin Xu seem to see a large dog that had been wronged by its owner, and explained in a gentle voice: "Maybe the Marshal needs me to continue talking with Miss Hill." Tell me about the estimated results of the ancient earth investigation?"

"No, just sit where you are and pay attention to safety."

The electronic clock showed that the time ticked and arrived at the fortress at seven o'clock, and the guests were seated one after another. The nine long tables in the spacious dining room were enough to accommodate all the invitees.

Supreme Commander Karl Hill occupies the main seat at the front center long table, on the left hand side are Heinrich, Zhou Pingbo and other senior officials of the Abyss Fleet and the investigation team, and on the right hand side are members of the Hill family and fortress officers.

Catherine sat beside Karl Hill, facing Heinrich.

Zhou Pingbo saw that Heinrich said a few words to Lin Xu before taking the table, but he didn't know what the content was. Now his eyes were cold, and he looked up from time to time to search for Lin Xu who was sitting at another long table.

Zhou Pingbo, who didn't want to be harmed by the freezing ray, took the initiative to help Heinrich take over the conversation of the officers.

But he couldn't take Carl Hill's words for Heinrich, so he could only listen in horror as Karl Hill introduced the dishes to Heinrich and asked, "I don't know if Marshal Chu still remembers the three The royal New Year's banquet years ago? That was the first time my sister saw the heroic appearance of the marshal, but the little Omega was too shy to express her reverence on the spot. After the banquet was over, she asked me, who was that tall Alpha in black military uniform? ?”

Catherine showed a smile following her brother's words, which was quite different from the shy girl Carl said back then.

"I told her that it was the Blade of the Empire, Marshal Heinrich Chu." Karl asked the waiter to add amber liquor to Heinrich's goblet, "It's a pity that Marshal Chu has been fighting outside all year round, and Catherine is very sad." It is rare to have the opportunity to meet your idol, today is really a lucky day, come, let us raise our glasses and wish Marshal Chu all the best for this mission."

There was also a glass of aromatic wine in front of Catherine. Omega's slender fingers touched the glass wall, and Heinrich's hand holding the knife and fork paused, but did not make any further moves.

Catherine's face froze, but she soon regained her charming smile, "It's a pity, I can't drink too much, please forgive me. I wish Marshal Chu all the best for this mission."

Finally, Heinrich put down the knife and fork, took a sip from the goblet, the wine wet his dry lips, through the crystal glass wall, Heinrich hoped to see the person sitting on another long table Lin Xu.

He put down his wine glass, and his hazy vision became clear. Lin Xu was dining at the same table as strangers from the investigation team, and Yika and Ryan surrounded Lin Xu.

As the chief engineer, Ika was supposed to sit next to Zhou Pingbo, but he has always been low-key and socially fearful. Even on the Victoria, only technicians had seen him, so even if he changed his seat, almost no one would notice. .

Ryan warmly welcomes Ika to sit beside Lin Xu.

Heinrich wondered for a moment, if he wasn't the marshal, could he also follow his wish and sit next to Lin Xu?

But he is.Even Lin Xu would call Ika, the Chief Engineer of the Victoria's Intelligence, whom he had only known for a day, but still called him Marshal.

"Ika, does this necklace have any special meaning? I see that Godric Chasman also has one." Lin Xu asked.

The three of them hardly touched the tableware and wine utensils. Fortunately, there were other guests on this table who refused to use cooking food due to digestive system discomfort or unbalanced tastes, so that the three of them would not look too conspicuous.

Ika pinched the eye-shaped necklace and looked at Lin Xu: "This is... a special jewelry of Star Haven, called the 'Path of Truth'. Chasman is also from Star Haven, so he will wear it. Does Dr. Lin like it?"

As he said, he wanted to take off the silver necklace and give it to Lin Xu, but was rejected, Lin Xu pushed the necklace back in Ika's hand: "If I go to Haven Star one day, I will buy one as a souvenir of my trip. "

"Oh." Ika looked down at the necklace, sounding a bit regretful.

As soon as he lowered his head, Ryan noticed the scar on Ika's neck where the gland was not covered by the necklace. The scar was hideous and chaotic, as if it had been dug out alive.

Ryan hesitated several times before finally plucking up the courage to ask, "Ika, what happened to your glands?"

"Ah?" Ika touched his neck belatedly, "Oh, I dug out the gland myself."

"Why?! You, you..."

Ryan's voice froze. He couldn't imagine how much pain and helplessness it would take for Ika, who is so peaceful and knowledge-seeking, to dig out his glands resolutely. Was he forced to marry an Alpha?Or is his family trying to force him into marriage?

No!Ika's talent should not be buried by trivial life and marriage!

Ika: "The hormones secreted by the Omega glands made my thinking confused. I couldn't do the questions well, so I dug it up."

"Huh?" Ryan was dumbfounded.

Ika: "Later, I found out that this only solved the problem of estrus, but the organs that Omega males still have may be able to..."

"Stop, stop, stop." Ryan was about to be terrified by Ika's devotion to science, but seeing Lin Xu's calm face, he couldn't help but continue to ask, "So you used a knife... ?”

"No." Ika replied, "The medicine is used, which can avoid the wound recovery period."

The old man sitting next to him opened his eyes wide when he heard Ika's words. He was even more shocked than Ryan, and turned his head tremblingly to stare at these eclectic young people.

Yika took it for granted, but Lin Xu was a little tired of the gazes of strangers, so he got up and told Ryan to be careful, and he was going outside for a walk.

Ryan nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and after Lin Xu left his seat, he looked at Ika with a trembling expression, as if he was walking on thin ice, as if he was afraid that Ika would pour him a bottle of heartless potion if he was happy.

As soon as Heinrich Chu saw Lin Xu get up and walk towards the door, the waiter in front of the garden respectfully opened the glass door for him, said "excuse me", immediately got up to follow Lin Xu, and sent another message to Arnold to remind him Take care of Ryan.

Karl Hill's face sank, and he gave Catherine a look. The latter stood up gracefully and followed behind Heinrich.

The entire back garden of the Hill family is a huge greenhouse. The electromagnetic barrier traps warm and humid air in the garden, and melts the snow that falls on the electromagnetic barrier into rainwater. The raindrops roll along the hemispherical barrier into the water resource cycle. system.

There are no habitable planets around the Silver Airport, and all water resources in the airport must be transported by starships from terrestrial planets ten astronomical units away.

The Hill family used these waters to raise rare and rare plants that could not even be compared to the gardens of the capital star nobles.

Tulips and lavender give off a delicate fragrance under the moonlight. Stepping across the lawn, the garden designer ingeniously used alien shrubs to imitate a giant ancient earth shrub maze. The three-meter-high shrub wall is green and dripping, and the leaves are stretched and dripping water.

With the cover of shrubs, it is more convenient for possible voyeurs to hide their figure.

The banquet restaurant was crowded with people, and the commander-in-chief of the fortress, Carl Hill, was personally in charge. Lin Xu felt that no assassin would choose to sabotage the Hill family's territory and fight Hill.

They just don't know if they had the courage to strike again when Lin Xu left the banquet hall alone in the dark and deserted bush maze.

The night was quiet, and there were no birds or crickets in the garden.

Lin Xu walked aimlessly along the maze for a while, followed by the sound of footsteps behind him, but he never fully stepped forward.

He listened intently, and because his consciousness was too focused, he was startled when Catherine's voice sounded unobstructed.

It sounded like Lin Xu and Catherine were only separated by a wall. Catherine's words attracted him to stop and approach the high wall of bushes.

"Marshal Chu, please stop... Heinrich Chu, stop!"

The footsteps that had been following Lin Xu stopped.

Lin Xu recognized the crisp metal sound of the military medals on his chest colliding with each other when Heinrich turned around through the high bush wall.

"Miss Hill." On the other side of the high wall, Heinrich's voice was as cold as the metal outer wall of the airport, reflecting countless moonlight and shallow starlight.

"Marshal Chu, we need to talk." Catherine's voice lost her usual prettiness and was reserved and calm.

"What does Miss Hill want to talk about?"

Catherine said bluntly: "Talk about the marriage between the Hill family and Marshal Chu. Marshal, I can see that you like Dr. Lin."

Heinrich's lowered hands were gradually clenched, his lips were drawn into a straight line, and he did not answer.

Catherine smiled, "I heard that he bit Dr. Lin in the susceptible stage, but he is a Beta, you can't mark it successfully."

"I offended him."

"Marshal Chu, let me have a showdown with you. Marry me and ally with the Sixth Army of the Hill family. I promise you won't regret it after seeing the benefits. If the outside world says you can't, I won't get into it. After marriage Let's go our separate ways, raise a child with gene synthesis technology, and then I can help you deal with outsiders no matter what kind of rhetoric you want.

"I will not leave the Capital Star. If you like Dr. Lin, take him with you, take him on board the Victoria, and I will not say a word. Marshal, this is a guaranteed deal."

Heinrich was silent. Lin Xu couldn't see Heinrich's movements and expressions, but only heard the familiar breathing rate on the other side.

Catherine waited, as if she was sure that Heinrich would agree. After a long time, Heinrich replied: "Miss Hill, you have misunderstood many things, and I am not interested in your plan. There are many noble children in Capital Star If I want to marry you, you don't have to stop me."

"You... Heinrich Chu, of course I have my way out, but what about yourself? The group of old aristocratic newcomers in the capital planet are all human supremacists and imperial supremacists. How could it be so easy for them? Can you tolerate a monster like you? What's more, you still have to look for things you shouldn't be looking for, and when you can't even protect yourself, how can you protect a little Beta?"

"What is something I shouldn't be looking for?"

Catherine's face turned pale suddenly, "It's nothing... You should think about it for yourself. After a while, you will bring tulips to me at the ball, and I'm leaving."

The sound of Catherine's high heels hurried away, but in the artificial breeze, Heinrich seemed to be still in place.

Lin Xu waited for a while, and suddenly heard.

"Lin Xu, Miss Hill has left, come out."

Lin Xu blinked lightly, walked around the high bush wall and walked in front of Heinrich. He suspected that he had neglected to practice in the past few years in Interstellar, and his concealment skills had deteriorated a lot.

Heinrich slowed down his breathing, allowing the night breeze wrapped in a faint sweet aroma to stay in his nasal cavity longer.

The sound just now was just Heinrich's attempt. He smelled the fragrance that belonged to Lin Xu, but he also wondered if it was the fragrance of some kind of flower in Hill Manor, but in the end it was Lin Xu who came to the light blue night moon Under the radiance, his eyes are like abysses.

Heinrich still hasn't figured out what the sweet smell on Lin Xu's body should be called.

"marshal."

"Do you have a favorite flower?"
