Chapter 7
According to Xu Yao, he could watch this “Dance of God” at least 20 times. But the fact is that, before he watched it for the second time, his communicator received a video call from Le Yao.
Le Yao used the code he got during the day and clicked it to contact Xu Yao.
“What’s the matter, baby?” Xu Yao’s big long legs were leisurely on the tea table again, and he said with a teasing smile, “Miss me so soon?”
“Who missed you?!” Le Yao was speechless and felt that this general really has a thick skin. “I want to ask you when we will go to Huaxia star. If we're not in a hurry, can I return something first?”
“Return something?”
“I want to return all the things my stepmother buy for me. Anyway, I don’t like them. Besides, I didn’t go to Huaxia star for a fashion show. The clothes she bought for me are not suitable for wearing there.”
He didn't know that Jiang Xinduo’s heart was so crafty like this. Most of the clothes she bought were summer clothes. There were not many good ones. Most of it was open back or super short. They were either fashionable in style with rivets and holes in places that couldn’t be said or indeed weren’t like proper clothes.
Not long after the flight, Le Yao began to think about returning all those things, and then took the money to buy what he really needed later. Anyway, he brought enough clothes to wear.
Although Xu Yao has been wearing military uniform all the year round, he was a person who paid attention to appearance, so he knew about all kinds of big brands. Even if Xu Yao didn’t take a close look at the clothes his stepmother bought for Le Yao, he knew that the clothes from those brands were not comfortable to wear in Huaxia, so he decided to go with Le Yao.
So they went to Jiang Xinduo’s previous shopping mall, returned all their clothes and get 167,000 in cash. As for skin care products and perfume, that was a special item, so it couldn't be refunded.
With these 167,000 Le Yao went to the supermarket and bought ten brushes and a dozen rice papers. There was no special rune paper, so he bought rice paper for writing calligraphy. As for the brass bell, he didn’t find it in the supermarket, so he bought a material bag for children’s handmade rattles.
“… are you going to prepare a gift for our unborn baby?” Xu Yao held a rattle kit in his hand. After the design was made, it should be a cute small blue dinosaur rattle. “So virtuous?”
“Who said I would give you a baby?” Le Yao snatched the material bag. “It is for another use.”
“It’s just a rattle. What’s the use of it besides playing with children?”
“It works anyway.” Le Yao said, “By the way, can’t Tarot star send express to Huaxia star? In case I can’t buy anything in Huaxia star, can I go to Tarot star’s shopping website for online shopping?”
“Online shopping is certainly fine. But what can’t you buy in Huaxia star?” Xu Yao asked with a smile, “Cinnabar?”
Le Yao was silent. It seemed that Xu Yao was able to see his intention. He hurriedly put something else in the shopping cart, and then went to check out. He felt that he had bought a lot of things, but it didn’t spend more than a thousand.
Xu Yao didn’t say anything. Because he saw what Le Yao did in the video before and guessed that Le Yao will buy these things to do it again. In any case, he thought that “Dance of God” was superstitious, and it didn’t affect any practical problems, so he bought it for Le Yao.
It was already dark when they left the mall, so Le Yao went back to his aircraft and followed Xu Yao to his residence in Xingdu.
When Le Yao got out of the aircraft, it felt like he was in a big hangar. At the moment, in addition to his aircraft and Xu Yao’s, there was also a domestic, smaller black aircraft next to them. It was surrounded by silver gray glass walls, which look simple and cold.
“We’re staying here tonight?” Le Yao looked around and asked.
“No. In about half an hour we will go to Huaxia star,” said Xu Yao.
“So fast?” Le Yao remembered that at that time, Le Feishan also said that Xu Yao had a lot of business to deal with, but he thought he could stay here for at least one day.
“Don't you want to go to Huaxia star very much?” When Xu Yao took Le Yao out of the hangar, he said, “Isn’t it better to hurry up?”
“That's right.” Le Yao casually walked into the huge living room.
“Then sit here and wait for me. I’ll be coming down in a minute.” Xu Yao said, calling his subordinate “Yan Jie, accompany him.” then got upstairs.
Yan Jie came up and asked in a stiff tone, “Would you like something to drink?”
Le Yao shook his head: “No, thank you.”
Le Yao sat down on the sofa and pretended not to see the precaution in Yan Jie’s eyes.
When people came to a strange place, they would look at the surrounding habitually, and Le Yao was not an exception. He found that the general’s office covered a wide area. Although he couldn’t see the whole floor where he stood, the area must be at least three or four hundred square meters. However, Xu Yao might not stay in this house often in a year, adding the design of black, white and gray was a little bit chilly and didn't show warmth of place called home.
Le Yao’s master liked all kinds of stable and solid wood furniture, which was brown and dark brown yet felt so warm. He said that this kind of furniture was unique and steady. In the past, when Le Yao was in the Buddhist shop, the environment made he felt stable and it helped him regain his composure. Comparing these two designs made him somewhat depressed.
Le Yao fixed his eyes on a huge oil painting in front of him. This painting probably occupied most of the west wall, just facing the main sofa. Maybe the painting was put in there so the guest who's sitting on the sofa could just saw it.
The painting was a landscape painting, which seemed to be the dark forest when night fell. It was gloomy, which reminded Le Yao of the place where he just woke up.
What Le Yao didn’t understand was how someone could make a good house like this. He felt that Xu Yao’s character didn’t match the design of the house at all.
“This painting…” All of a sudden, he just blurted out the words in his head. Le Yao was also shocked.
“What's wrong with the painting?” Yan Jie stood not far away from Le Yao. He was also looking at the painting.
“It's nothing. Have Mr. Xu’s parents moved to Huaxia star?” When Le Yao finished, he saw Yan Jie's looks worsened, and his defense deepened towards him, so he said, “I mean, it looks very empty here.”
“Normally we don’t stay here, of course it feels empty.” Yan Jie said impatiently.
What else could Le Yao ask after he answered him like that? But he really didn’t want to make fun of himself, so he simply stopped talking. He took out the communicator and looked at how much money he had left and whether he had forgotten to buy anything, so as to suppress the little uneasy feeling that rose from time to time in his heart.
Then he didn't know how long it was been. Suddenly there were footsteps outside. Le Yao looked up the stairs and saw three people coming up from downstairs. The three men were one in front and two behind. The man in front looked about fifty years old, not very tall, a little thin. He was wearing a comfortable looking black cotton blouse and a pair of ancient cloth shoes. The two at the back look in their early twenties and wore military uniforms.
Yan Jie still looked bad. Seeing the three men coming up, he suddenly softened his expression and nodded to the leader: “Uncle Ming.”
Ming Shan saw Le Yao standing up: “This is…”
Yan Jie didn’t even say a word when Xu Yao's voice came from upstairs: “Uncle Ming, he is my newly married little wife. His name is Le Yao. Le Le, Uncle Ming is the housekeeper of this house and he took care of me since I was child.”
Ming Shan looked at Le Yao slightly, and Le Yao greeted politely, “Hello, Uncle Ming.”
Ming Shan nodded and smiled: “Hello, Madam.”
Le Yao: “…” Madam?!
Light cough, Le Yao said: “Uncle Ming, you can call me Xiao Le."
Uncle Ming: “Ok, Mr. Xiao Le.”
Xu Yao saw Le Yao's pair of small ears redden because of Uncle Ming's word. He asked with a smile to him, “How about the preparation, Uncle Ming? Are you ready?”
Ming Shan said, “It's ready. When are you going to go?”
Xu Yao looked at the time: “Now.” He said that and then took Le Yao’s backpack.
In his backpack, there were brushes and rice paper that Le Yao bought, as well as some valuable personal items, such as light brain and jewelry. Naturally, the jewelry was bought by the original body. Some of the accessories he didn’t take. But he took all the real gold and precious stones. Anyway, it was not cheap, so he would not leave it behind for Jiang Xinduo and Le Tianyu to take.
Now the things in his backpack were half of Le Yao’s life, so as soon as Xu Yao took them away, he immediately followed.
Only then did Le Yao found out that Xu Yao changed his clothes. The man was wearing a casual suit when he registered with him, and now he’s in the blue suit of the Tarot air force. The colors of military uniforms here were not the same as those on the earth. The army was olive green, and the navy was pure white. The air force's color was not the ordinary blue, but the sky blue, and the higher the position was, the darker the color.
Xu Yao was a general. Although he was a major general, his uniform was the highest color in the night sky, very dark and thick. This man was as tall and straight as a pine tree originally, now when he wore this fitting military uniform, his belt was tied around his waist, so his broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs were more obvious. It was look so good that it was hard to move his eyes.
They were all men, but the different was so big. Le Yao couldn’t help but felt a little jealous!
When he got on the aircraft, he was still a little upset. As a result, just after he sat down, the intelligent safety belt was slowly fastened. The superlarge military aircraft carried him to the night sky with Xu Yao, Uncle Ming, Yan Jie and the other two guards in a low-key and aggressive manner. Its speed began to increase steadily, but in five seconds, it made to the vast Star River with an extreme speed that neither the former nor the present Le Yao had ever experienced.
As for his own aircraft, because it couldn’t keep up with the speed at all, it has carried out with external delivery.
Ten minutes later, they docked with Flying Wolf 7, which was flying to Huaxia Star and flew there at a faster speed. During this period, Le Yao and Xu Yao lived next door, but they only met few times and Xu Yao occasionally flirted with him. Fortunately, Xu Yao did not mark him in any case, so Le Yao was a little bit relieved.
Until three days later, he saw his real home planet, the originally blue planet that now shrouded in a gray bitterness.
As the global temperature rose, icebergs melt and sea level rose a lot, the place that should be the land in his memory mostly became blue at the moment, and the green land was even less. Large areas of land were submerged, and on the surface could be seen the yellow color of the sky.
For others, it was the result of hundreds of years of contamination, but for Le Yao, it was a sudden change in just dozens of hours. He could not help but saddened. His eyes wet and he suddenly felt homesick, thought of his master and his two brothers. Xu Yao was next to him and just wanted to say something to Le Yao. Seeing his red and teary eyes like this, some kind of speculation flashed through his mind.
This child… he said he wanted to find someone here, but he didn't tell me who it was. Hmm, it's better not to found his old lover.
