Seeing Chu Rong, Qiao Zhiya’s depressed mood completely improved. After being hugged, he simply burrowed deeper into the Marshal’s hug. He tilted his head to rub against his chest, saying, “I found a lot of treasures, I think our group must be the first. There’s also the crystal and… well, I have something good to show you when we go back. I can’t tell you now, I will tell you secretly later, okay?” 

“Okay,” Chu Rong was so endeared by him that his heart melted into pieces. He wanted to just hug him, but he knew that they were being recorded now. He frowned again, touched the back of his head, and let go of him. He turned his head to look at Chu Yan next to him, and said with disgust, “Come here.” 

Under the glare, Chu Yan resigned to his fate. He went over and hugged him, and said perfunctorily,”Ah, Erge, you are here, I am so happy.” 

‘I am so happy to be this shield and acting prop, hehehehe.’

Seeing them hugging each other, Qiao Zhiya pursed his lips and smiled happily. Thinking of something, he suddenly turned around and climbed up the tree, then swished a few wild fruits down. With bright eyes, he saw Chu Yan and Chu Rong finally ended their forced hug. 

As Chu Rong came over, his ears subconsciously twitched. He wiped the wild fruit with some embarrassment and handed it over, saying, “This is very sweet, try it.”

Chu Rong pinched the twitchy ears once again as he bit into the fruit. “Not bad, very sweet.”

Qiao Zhiya became visibly happy. His little face was red, his ears moved around uncontrollably. Now with Chu Rong around, he leaned closer and started to chatter about the happenings on this event. Compared to his previous character – seldom talking, more action, and calm expression – he was 1000x sweeter. 

The audience: […It turns out that the Marshal gets along with the little Native in private… It turns out that the Marshal who always has a dark face has such a gentle and easy-going side… It turns out that the little Native boy’s ears can be so lively…]

[I heard that the little Native boy was rescued by the Marshal, and has been raised by the Marshal since then…]

[Ahhh! Such a lovely Exoplanet Native, I also want a son like him! So jealous!!] 

[So the wild fruit that the little Native secretly picked and saved was also for the Marshal? Now seeing him coming, why don’t you just pick fresher treasures?]

[And the little Native even wiped the fruit before handing it over, Chu Yan didn’t get that treatment!]

They wanted to be handed fruit by the little Native! They wanted to pinch his ears! They wanted to be looked at with his dependent and intimate eyes! They wanted to hear his nice voice keep talking in their ears!

Not afraid of death, they still want to be patted and killed by the Marshal! The Marshal was too cruel, they didn’t dare to imagine this kind of picture of him being kind to others before!

Suddenly they  don’t know who to envy and envy, so confused!

After a short period of silence, the comment area exploded again, and the atmosphere became unprecedentedly enthusiastic. The audience stared at the Marshal and the Native who were warmly getting along with each other in the live broadcast with green eyes, as if they had discovered a new world. Not enough to vent the turbulent emotions in their hearts!

Fan Xiangnan didn’t expect the audience’s reaction to be so strong. He was a little puzzled, but more happy – the public had too many misunderstandings about the Marshal, it’s great to be able to reduce some of them now.

The supervisors of several other families felt ashamed to vomit blood when they saw this, and they felt extremely regretful.

The purpose of their decision to start the live broadcast was to make the Chu family lose the hearts of the people and defeat Chu Rong’s favorability. But now, this was overturned! Chu Rong usually looked impatient and bad-tempered, but when he was under the live broadcast camera, he suddenly realized and played nice with the Native. What a scheming bastard, they misunderstood him before! Pooh!

Somewhere in the forest, Xiang Kun noticed the firework for help suddenly lifted into the sky. His eyes lit up, and he couldn’t help saying, “The fireworks of Ning-You and us have already been used up this morning. So it was Chu Yan who set it off? Did they face troubles?” 

Wei Yu looked up to the sky, and noticed that a black mecha was quickly landing towards a certain location in the forest. His heart moved, and he said, “It should be, I saw Marshal Chu’s mecha.” 

“Where is it?” Xiang Kun looked over excitedly, and sure enough, he saw the shadow of a mecha. He almost couldn’t help but gloated, but it was Xiang Jing who pulled him to stabilize his expression.

Wei Lan didn’t have the energy to pay attention to these things. He frowned and tugged at his sleeves, saying, “Let’s go, I want to go home.” These days were like nightmares to him. It’s so uncomfortable. 

Xiang Kun came back to his senses, thought about it, and immediately said, “Then let’s go faster and try to get to the top of the mountain as soon as possible.” It’s best to leave Chu Yan’s team far behind!

Ning Kongran on the other side also looked up at the sky, noticed the landing of the black mecha, and changed his mind. He looked down at Ning Kongting who was sitting on the rock with her arms outstretched for Ning Konghua to bandage her wound, and said flatly, “Give me the bottle after drinking the potion. It’s something Qiao Zhiya gave me. I want to keep it as a souvenir.”

Ning Kongting, who was going to keep the bottle and study the remaining antidote inside, froze when she heard this. She wanted to pretend not to hear, but unexpectedly, Ning Kongran, who was always easy to talk to, unexpectedly persisted. He even came over and stretched out his hand to her.

That way she couldn’t play dumb.

Ning Kongting frowned, and gave him the bottle reluctantly.

Just now she accidentally scratched her arm by a poisonous plant, the wound immediately became numb and black, and her head began to feel dizzy. The antidote from the Ning family had no effect. When she was at a loss, Ning Kongran took the antidote given from the Natives.

She was very skeptical about the efficacy of this potion. She didn’t want to use it at first, but she was really uncomfortable, so she tentatively poured a little potion on the wound. Unexpectedly, the potion was effective. It receded a lot, and her arms became responsive. 

So, she just drank all the potion, and when she calmed down, she immediately paid attention to this strange potion. She wanted to take it back to study it, but before she could do it, Ning Kongran slighted her. 

“Remember to say thank you to Qiao Zhiya when we meet again, he saved you,” Ning Kongran took the empty bottle and gave instructions like a good brother who taught his sister to be polite.

Ning Kongting nodded, her hands tightened unwillingly.

Seeing this, Ning Konghua frowned. He patted his sister reassuringly, and shook his head slightly at her.

The You family siblings stood on the other side, pretending not to see the small problems between the Ning family. 

On the No. 8 and No. 9 screens, the audience’s envious and jealous comments were increasing crazily, and the sour smell was covering the screen.

“Xiao Yan is so good this time!” Qiao Zhiya did not forget to praise Chu Yan while talking, and asked very intimately, “His mecha’s energy is used up, and there is a little problem with the driving system…” 

Chu Rong glanced at Chu Yan whose eyes lit up instantly after hearing this. Remembering his excellent performance in the past few days, Chu Rong nodded and said, “Yes, I will ask Master Ren to upgrade the driving system for you again.” 

‘Upgrade the system? Does that mean that I can learn more difficult mecha operations?’

“Erge,  you have to keep your word! Don’t go back on your promise!” Chu Yan immediately howled out, ran to Qiao Zhiya’s side excitedly and bumped into him, and said happily, “Good brother, it’s interesting! I’ll invite you to the club later—”

“Chu Yan,” Chu Rong called out coldly.

“…I’ll take you to buy mecha models later, and I’ll buy you one set! No, I’ll buy two sets! I’ll use my own savings!” Chu Yan immediately changed his words, throwing morality out of the blue.

Qiao Zhiya was also very happy, his ears moved back and forth excitedly. He shook his head and said thoughtfully, “No, you keep your little coffers for yourself, and I’ll give you all the treasures we found this time, and it’s more expensive for you to maintain the mecha.”

Chu Yan was so moved that he was about to cry, and the audience was almost crying when they heard it.

What a child… he could make money, was caring, cute, sensible, and… in short, very very very good! 

[I wanna take him home TT_TT] 

“Qiao Zhiya,” Chu Rong said suddenly, and after Qiao Zhiya looked up, he raised his hand to hide the youth’s ears and said, “After this event is over, there will be many people approaching you with various purposes.” 

“There are both well-intentioned people and malicious ones. Some of them come for you, some for your ability, and more, for what you have in your hands. You have to learn to distinguish them. Your kindness is your strength, but it can also be your weakness. If someone deliberately approaches you with malicious intentions, and you can’t solve them, come back and tell me, understand?” said the Marshal, deliberately looking up at the live broadcast equipment coldly. After a few seconds passed, he continued petting Qiao Zhiya’s head and ears. 

The audience who were howling with excitement were shocked by the murderous look, causing a brief period of absolute silence in the barrage area. Then the audience who really liked Qiao Zhiya immediately echoed, shouting that the Marshal was right! 

[The little Native boy is so powerful and yet so simple. I’m afraid he will easily be fooled by others. It’s better if he’s well-protected and educated!] 

With some careful thoughts in mind, for example, the supervisors were shocked. Knowing that Chu Rong was giving a tactful warning, he brought Qiao Zhiya into his protection circle in front of everyone in the Federation.

Ning Tianya actually noticed the potion Ning Kongting used, and he also had a little thought budding in his mind. Seeing this, he decisively put this thought behind him. He stood up and said, “It’s time to prepare for the welcoming ceremony at six o’clock. I’ll go first.”

Xiang Lingyun and Wei Xiongchang looked at each other, and got up one after another. They greeted Fan Xiangnan, then turned and left, not paying attention to the live broadcast.

Qiao Zhiya quickly understood the meaning of Chu Rong’s words. He nodded quickly, and said obediently, “I will.” He also tilted his head and rubbed against the Marshal’s palms to express his trust and intimacy.

The audience blushed seeing this action, while Chu Yan rolled his eyes at the sweet atmosphere exuded by the two.

He couldn’t help stepping forward and inserting himself between the two of them, boldly bumped Chu Rong away, put his arms around Qiao Zhiya’s shoulders, and said, “Erge is right! Aren’t you going to skip a grade after next year? Let me tell you, those in the upper grades are much more scheming than the low-grade radish heads you meet now, especially the bunch who get close to Xiang Kun, none of them are good! After you skip the grade, ignore them. If they bully you, you beat them up, but don’t forget to call me so I can be your back-up!” 

“No messing around in school,” Chu Rong frowned. He stretched out his long arms and pulled Chu Yan’s arms off Qiao Zhiya, then grabbed Qiao Zhiya by the back collar and lifted him up. Blocking the audience’s vision, he looked at Chu Yan and warned, “You’re going to be admitted to the military academy in the second half of next year, so don’t cause trouble for me.” 

Chu Yan folded his arms angrily, and said in a drawn-out tone, “Fi–ne! I promise won’t take the initiative to cause trouble.” 

‘But if others provoked me, then don’t blame me for fighting back fiercely, hehe.’

Understanding what he meant, Chu Rong glanced at him again, and said nothing more. He looked back at Qiao Zhiya who was being carried to this side. He patted his hair once again, seemingly never bored of this affectionate gesture. “Don’t be afraid of causing trouble, if they dared to provoke you. Don’t be bullied.”

Qiao Zhiya nodded vigorously. He looked up and smiled at him, trying to assure Chu Rong, “Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone bully me.”
