The powerful leader was tough on the outside but soft on the inside; the aloof major general fell fo

Yero glanced quickly downwards, then left as if nothing had happened.

My heart was already shattered.

A powerful ruler?

Isn't that Lord Cen Li?

The culprit behind Major General Ling's abnormal behavior has been found.

So, the major general has been chatting with his powerful lord these past few days?

Yero's expression turned strange.

The chat box is on a single page, and the messages from both insects are very concise.

It was most likely the major general who initiated the topic.

Yero could hardly believe that the Major General would take the initiative to chat with Lord Cen Li.

The images that took up the largest area of ​​the chat window were the pictures sent by the two of them, one after the other.

It was both eerie and harmonious.

After walking a distance, Yero looked back.

The major general was still fiddling with the terminal, his expression serious, as if he were making some important decision.

Yero curled his lip.

Major General, don't love him too much!

Someone as single as him would never understand.

After disembarking from the warship, Ash's terminal screen was still displaying the message he had sent to the lord during the day.

[Ashel: My Lord, I'm returning today, but it might be a little late.]

[The ruler: Hmm.]

Then, Ash posted a photo of a golden flowerbed.

This was taken by Ashel and his friends when they passed by a farm; they thought it was beautiful and took a picture of it.

Although Ashel's photography skills were mediocre, he still carefully looked for the right angles and took a few satisfactory photos.

In the end, the most beautiful one was chosen and sent to the male lord.

Before long, the powerful ruler replied.

Unsurprisingly, it was another photograph.

This became Ashleigh's most anticipated event every day.

He could tell what the male ruler was doing just by looking at the pictures.

Even though they are thousands of miles apart, they seem to be closely connected through these photos.

Ashleigh could look at his brief answers and casually snapped photos repeatedly for a long time.

[Male Ruler: Image]

A stray cat happened to stop at the male's feet.

From the photo, Ashel can see a bit of the lord's shoe tip.

The photo is mostly occupied by a small, grayish-brown cat.

Normally, their conversation ends here.

But today, Ashel stared at the cat on the screen, his fingers twitched slightly, and he inexplicably sent a few words.

[Male Master: Do you like cats?]

After a while, the terminal beeped.

[Male Ruler: General]

Ashel blinked slowly as he looked at those two words.

Their chat history ends here.

By the time Ashel got home, it was completely dark.

He glanced down at the time; a minute had passed, and it was exactly midnight.

The lord must be asleep by now.

Ashleigh could have come back earlier.

But before leaving, he had a sudden idea and went to take care of something, so he came back a little late and just missed the first group to leave.

So much so that he didn't return until this late.

The villa was very quiet.

Ashel returned travel-worn and should have taken a shower first, but he stopped in his tracks as he passed the master's room.

There was no light under the door.

The powerful ruler has already gone to sleep.

Ashel then felt reassured and carefully pushed the door open a crack.

He told himself that one look would suffice.

The room was pitch black.

A sliver of light shone through the corridor, and Ash could vaguely make out the position of the male ruler lying down.

He was afraid that going in would wake the king, so he only glanced at him from afar at the door.

With a "click," the room lights suddenly switched on.

Ashleigh's action of closing the door froze.

Look over there.

The male ruler withdrew his hand from the bedside lamp button, sat up slightly, and looked precisely at the location where he was, his eyes clear.

It's like I wasn't asleep at all in the first place.

This sudden situation left Ashel completely bewildered.

Ashel uttered a stunned sound.

"My lord, are you still awake?"

Cen Li glanced at Ash from head to toe without making a sound. "I was just about to go to sleep when I heard the noise."

The system appeared at an inopportune moment, saying, "Host, why don't you just admit it?"

"Actually, you've been waiting for the Major General all night. I saw you yawn several times, you were so sleepy, but you were still keeping your eyes open while browsing the terminal."

Cen Li narrowed his eyes. "System, you know a lot?"

Does he live up to what the system says?

He did not.

The system hummed.

The host is like this, what's his name again?

The system searched its program and found the perfect adjective.

He then pressed his face close to Cen Li's and said, "Host, this is what you call being stubborn."

"The kind that would rather die than admit it!"

Cen Li:?

The system promptly disappeared.

Ren Cenli called out to it several times in his mind, but it remained silent and did not respond.

He truly took playing dead to the extreme.

But how could Cen Li not be able to fix the system? He said quietly, "The humiliation value has been rising too fast lately. I think it's necessary to slow it down."

"The initial speed was quite good."

Initial speed?

That would be comparable to a tortoise moving.

The system, which had been secretly eavesdropping, finally couldn't help but speak up, "My lord, this is absolutely unacceptable!"

It doesn't need to be so slow!

If you can ride a rocket, who would want to ride on a turtle's back!

The system accused the overbearing host, "You're so mean! All you do is bully me!"

The system admitted its mistake very quickly and decisively, and the difference in its attitude before and after was astonishing.

The system felt that it was being manipulated by Cen Li.

It still desperately needs Cen Li to guide it.

The system said weakly, "Host, you're doing great as you are right now! Don't do anything rash, just be yourself."

The system's message was incredibly obsequious: "Host, good luck getting closer to the Major General. I'm kneeling in gratitude."

The system, being quite sensible, withdrew.

So the male ruler slept so late today.

Ashir was slightly surprised after hearing the lord's words.

Cen Li's gaze lingered on a spot on the female insect's uniform that was noticeably darker in color than the rest.

Are you injured?

Ashel followed the lord's gaze downwards, finally shaking his head. "My lord, this is not my blood. I returned in a hurry and haven't had time to wash up yet."

"So, the first thing you do when you get back is come to your room to see if I'm asleep?"

The lord's words made Ash's feet stick to the spot.

Cen Li was right.

Ash felt somewhat embarrassed by the way the powerful ruler had pointed it out to him.

But he didn't let the king's words fall flat. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

After accepting the lord's answer, Ashel felt that this would make his behavior seem strange.

The lord stared at him, as if scrutinizing something.

Ashel hesitated before saying, "Because I..."
