Qiao Yu wanted to go to Jiang Li’s house to sleep, but Lu Heng would definitely not agree. Unless he became the head of the family one day, then he could invite them over to have a light meal.

Head of the family.

This idiom, representing a status symbol, lifted his spirits, and he couldn’t help thinking about his life with Jiang Li after they got married. They would sleep in the same bed every day, embrace each other, and besides raising a cat, they might have a son or daughter.

“Heng ge? Heng ge!!”

The voice next to his ear startled Lu Heng. He came back to his senses and looked at Qiao Yu: “What are you doing? You scared me.”

“It’s me who should ask you what you are doing.” Qiao Yu looked at him strangely, and pointed to the corner of his own mouth, “Why are you smiling for no reason?”

“Oh, it’s nothing, just smiling casually.” Lu Heng put away the corners of his lips that were raised unconsciously just then, and said seriously, “Instructor Jiang doesn’t like to be disturbed by outsiders, so don’t think about it.”

“I don’t think so, didn’t you sleep with Instructor last night?”

“I’m different.” Lu Heng waved his hand and took his clothes to take a shower.

“What’s different? Isn’t everyone an Alpha?” Qiao Yu muttered.

Lu Heng took a shower and came out, remembering that he was going to participate in the Freshman Mecha Competition, so he asked Qiao Yu if they would like to participate together.



The three stopped what they were doing and asked in unison, “The Freshman Mecha Competition?”

Lu Heng nodded and, Qiao Yu and the others looked at each other: “Heng ge, you’ve been very motivated recently!”

“That’s right.” Lu Heng didn’t urge them to make a decision then, since the deadline for registration was the next month. He then left the dormitory after saying, “Don’t keep the door open for me at night.”



Jiang Li came out of the shower, opened his personal terminal, and checked the email that Ryder sent to him the previous day.

There were four sets of personal information in the email, all of them were born on May 21st, and one of them was Ryder.

In fact, after confirming Lu Heng’s identity, this information had lost its meaning, and so Jiang Li didn’t look at it carefully and closed the terminal after clicking ‘Confirm’.

As soon as it was turned off, the communicator rang.

Seeing Lu Heng’s name, Jiang Li was not surprised. He leaned on the sofa to accept the video call.

The three-dimensional image of Lu Heng appeared in front of him, and Jiang Li asked him, “What’s the matter?”

“Hello, Instructor.” Lu Heng greeted him first, and then said with a smile, “Instructor, I’m downstairs, at your dormitory. I’m here to see my son.”

Jiang Nuomi was lying on Jiang Li’s lap at that time. When it heard Lu Heng’s voice, it then grabbed Jiang Li’s clothes, walked to the communicator, and called out to Lu Heng: “Meow~”

Lu Heng narrowed his eyes and waved at it: “Yo, son.”

Jiang Nuomi wagged its tail in distaste, then retreated to take a nap on Jiang Li’s lap.

Jiang Li patted its back with his hand, and said to Lu Heng: “Now that you’ve seen it, go back.”

After speaking, he was about to turn off the communicator, but Lu Heng quickly said, “Don’t turn it off, only seeing isn’t enough. I haven’t touched it yet.”

“Touch?” Jiang Li raised his eyebrows, “Do you still want to come up?”

“I don’t have to go up.” Lu Heng said dutifully, “But I’m already downstairs, and it doesn’t make sense not to go up. Come down and open the door for me?”

Jiang Li looked at him being noncommittal, Jiang Nuomi started meowing again, and Lu Heng quickly said, “Look, my son thinks the same.”

Jiang Li seemed to be thinking about it for a while, and then he agreed: “Okay.”

Lu Heng beamed with joy, thinking: Jiang Nuomi, you really are my good son!

Just as Jiang Li turned off the communicator, he heard System say, “Master, you said in the morning that haste makes waste.”

“That’s the case, but things may backfire if not controlled., Wwe can’t refuse too many times.” Jiang Li said while changing his shoes, “Right?”

System: “…” You have the final say on everything, it feels like the male lead is capturing you, you guys really know how to play.

Jiang Li went downstairs with Jiang Nuomi in his arms and opened the door for Lu Heng. The two went upstairs together. On the way, they happened to meet Joel who was about to go downstairs.

When Joel saw them, the surprise in his eyes flashed, and he greeted them aloud. He couldn’t help thinking: Does the fourth prince plan to stay here for a long time?

“Instructor Joel.” Lu Heng greeted him, “Are you going to do your rounds?”

“Yes.” Joel nodded, “You are…”

“I’m here to take a look at my cat.” Lu Heng held up Jiang Nuomi to show him.

“Oh.” Joel gave him a meaningful look, then turned to Jiang Li and said, “Major, I’m going to check the rooms.”

“En.” Jiang Li nodded, while Lu Heng said, “Sorry for the trouble, Instructor Joel.”

Joel heard what he meant, smiled, and left first.

The two returned to Jiang Li’s dormitory. As soon as Lu Heng saw the robot Dada, he patted its big head with his hand: “I’m here again, are you surprised? Are you shocked?”

……

Dada: “…welcome.”

Lu Heng smiled: “You’re welcome, your help is greatly appreciated.”

Dada:”…”



The next day, Lu Heng asked Jiang Li for a day off, and flew a small aircraft back home. He went straight to the basement as soon as he got home.

After Lu Heng entered the initial password in front of the basement door, the small screen on the door flashed a blue light to recognize his face and confirm his identity. The huge and heavy door slowly opened towards both sides, and he walked in.

The indoor space was very large. Lu Heng walked straight in, and stopped in front of the innermost black mecha.

It was a combat-type mecha about twelve or thirteen meters high, its whole body was black, and under the blinding light, it was shining with dazzling brilliance.

It stood quietly, like a sharp sword that had not been polished, the blade was completely hidden under the black armor, but even so, one could still feel its oppression from the outside.

Lu Heng stood in front of it, and looked up at it. His gaze gradually changed from the calmness at the beginning to imperceptible nostalgia and pain.

After a long while, he stretched out his hand to touch the mecha, rubbing his fingertips slowly, the fine frosting on the black armor stuck against his fingertips. It was obviously a cold armor, but he felt an unstoppable heat, spreading little by little from his fingertips to his heart.

——Heng di 1, this is the mecha that second brother asked Master Ling to make for you. It uses the best mecha materials and energy fluid in the entire empire, which is slightly better than big brother’s Lion King.

——Haha, the Lion King might not be happy to hear that. Xiaoheng, give it a name, when you grow up, it will belong to you.

The words of his eldest brother and second brother resounded in his mind, and those long-lost memories slowly emerged in front of his eyes along with this black mecha.

The scenes of them running in the Penglai forest with Lu Heng on his brothers’ backs, and the scenes of flying in the starry sky with their own mechas slowly turned into vague shadows, and finally only their bloody corpses were sent back by their subordinates.

Lu Heng closed his eyes slowly, and softly called its name: “Black Eagle.”

The black mecha didn’t respond, like a soulless shell.

Lu Heng pulled out a golden bullet casing from the chain hanging around his neck, took out a small black chip from the casing, and used the elevator to go up to Black Eagle’s chest. He inserted the chip deep into its chest cavity and then activated the program.

After a short time, the black mecha that had been sleeping for ten years gradually woke up, and a calm and strong voice sounded in the empty room: “Who is it?”

“It’s me.” Lu Heng rose to eye level with it, “Lu Heng.”

Black Eagle looked at him for a while, feeling the fluctuation of Lu Heng’s spiritual power, and slowly merging with the power in his memory, but its tone was still a little uncertain: “Your Highness, Fourth Prince?”

“It’s me.” Lu Heng nodded, “Long time no see.”

“Ah.”

Black Eagle responded, with a sigh in its voice: “It’s really been a long time.”

Black Eagle was the eighth birthday gift from the second prince, Lu Yuan, to Lu Heng. It was made by the best mecha master in the empire. Lu Heng once said that he would drive it to go on expeditions through the galaxy with his two brothers when he grew up, but at ten years old, he locked it in this closed basement with his own hands.

And his eldest brother and second brother both died in the “Battle of Bailu” when he was nine years old.

Black Eagle really didn’t think that it would see the sun again one day. Facing the master who had grown from a boy to a young man, the black mecha had mixed feelings for a moment and said faintly in an elderly tone: “I didn’t expect you to have grown up so much, you were not even as tall as my knee back then, Master.”

Lu Heng: “…” I am still not as tall as your knees now.

“Do you still have energy fluid?” Lu Heng asked.

“The tank is close to being empty and needs a refill.” Black Eagle replied, “The reason you ask this is that you want to…”

“I’ll take you out.” Lu Heng stretched out his hand towards it, “Now.”

Black Eagle: “Aha?”

“Hurry up, before Mother comes back.” Lu Heng urged. He came back this time without telling his mother and if she knew that he had awakened Black Eagle, she would definitely be unhappy.

When Black Eagle heard it, it remembered the scene where the queen forced Lu Heng to lock it in here, and secretly said “My God”. A black light flashed, and the huge mecha quickly turned into a black ring, firmly circled around Lu Heng’s index finger.

“Master, let’s go!!”

The deep voice belonging to Black Eagle came from the ring, with obvious haste.

Lu Heng didn’t delay anymore. He clenched the ring between his fingers and quickly left the basement.

Black Eagle was a mecha made ten years ago, and the energy fluid in it had almost been exhausted. Lu Heng must take it to replenish the energy fluid first, and since Black Eagle had not been activated for ten years, he also needed to send Black Eagle for a checkup from head to toe.

It was Ling Ao’s grandfather who made Black Eagle back then. As Lu Heng left the military academy earlier, he had asked Ling Ao to get in touch with Old Master Ling. When he arrived at Ling’s house, he went down to the manufacturing room under the guidance of the housekeeper.

Old Master Ling was nearly a hundred years old that year, but he was still in good spirits. His voice was full of spirit and he patted Lu Heng on the shoulder vigorously: “Fourth Prince, I heard from Xiao Ao that you brought Black Eagle here. Let me take a look.”

……

Lu Heng nodded: “I brought it here, but its energy fluid is not enough.”

“It’s okay.” Old Master Ling waved his hands generously, “I have as much as you want here.”

Lu Heng thought: That’s what I was waiting for!!



It was already night when he came out of Ling’s house. Lu Heng declined Old Master Ling’s kindness to ask him to stay overnight and flew the aircraft back to the military academy.

When he arrived at the school, he didn’t go back to the dormitory. He went directly to Jiang Li’s dormitory. Same as the previous two days, he started a video call with Jiang Li once he got downstairs. As soon as the other party connected, he said, “Instructor, my dormitory is closed.”

Jiang Li had just come out of the shower, wearing a loose bathrobe, revealing a patch of reddish skin from the hot water on his chest, and drops of water dripping from his wet black hair.

He wiped his hair with a towel: “You want to borrow the access control card?”

“No, I’ll borrow…”

Lu Heng hadn’t finished the phrase “borrow your room” when he was interrupted by an exclamation: “Wow, what a beauty!!”

Jiang Li paused for wiping his hair: “Who’s talking?”

Lu Heng: “…”

Black Eagle, you’re just a mecha, why are you snatching my lines?
