Disguised as a man, she returned to the military academy and was forced to study again.

Ji Li didn't expect that after kissing and hugging the boy, the restlessness in his heart was not soothed. Instead, it became even stronger, and he just wanted to possess and touch him further.

The man's eyes darkened, but it didn't work.

There are still some family matters that have not been resolved. It would be too cruel to let Yan Qi get involved now. He wants the young man to stand by his side openly.

After Ji Li calmed down, he felt a subtle sense of satisfaction.

Yan Qi was right beside him, within easy reach. He knew this man's kindness, cunning, and love of money, but he also knew this man's tenacity, gentleness, and softness.

He liked everything about it surprisingly, and he was willing to believe his nonsense as well.

Yan Qi suddenly turned around and asked him, "Ji Li, when can we return to the scene of the incident? Do we need to cooperate with the investigation or something..."

Haha, I have to find out first whether I want to spend the night with this beautiful lady. I have to take precautions before anything happens!

"It will probably take half a day. We will use space jumps to shorten the time." Ji Li looked at the boy who was getting closer to him and said lightly: "But you don't need to cooperate with the investigation."

Yan Qi looked puzzled. "Why not? I remember the teacher at the academy saying that if a major incident involves mobilizing the military, they'll need to cooperate with the investigation, both before and after."

Ji Li also moved sideways a little, and with the shadow of the boy reflected in his amber eyes, he warned:

"Because someone doesn't want to investigate this matter thoroughly, I might be picked up by the Li family when we reach Galaxy N. I've already made arrangements with Wan Conglun, and you'll be returning with him on the spaceship. And now that you have this medal, you can refuse anyone who wants to interrogate you individually. Don't run around until I return."

Yan Qi hadn't expected Ji Li to reveal everything. This murder was indeed a family feud. Otherwise, it was hard to imagine who could control Ji Li's spaceship and blockade the star field silently.

Yan Qi wanted to ask but didn't know where to start, so he finally said, "How is Wan Conglun?"

Ji Li said calmly: "He is fine, lively and energetic."

"That's good!" Yan Qi breathed a sigh of relief, paused, and then continued, "Will there be anyone to protect you when you return?"

If you protect me, will that protect you?

This was the issue Yan Qi really wanted to care about. She saw Ji Li lower his eyelids, his eyelashes covering his amber eyes, and he didn't speak for a long time.

It was so long that Yan Qi thought the other party would not answer him.

Ji Li was silent for a moment before he said, "Yes and no."

In that family, his mother would never protect him and would only side with his brother. And those who protected him were also biased towards him because of the existence of the Ji family. If he was really killed this time, and the Ji family did not make trouble for them, the matter would be easily covered.

No matter how noble he may appear, he who wears the crown must bear its weight. Enjoying the support of the family will be constrained by the family, and this is the case with most things in this world.

It was the first time Yan Qi had seen the beauty like this. She looked over, her distinct black and white eyes filled with worry. Although Yan Qi wasn't of noble birth, she could understand the complexity of the situation.

The military has clear discipline, but the subordinates are intricately connected, and they will scheme against others for a little profit. And with such huge wealth and power in front of the two families, who wouldn't be tempted?

Ji Li sensed the boy's approach and worry, reached out and touched his face, and couldn't help but move closer to him and confide in him:

"I'm the product of a family marriage, and my mother really dislikes me. I also have a half-brother, and he was the one who committed the murder. I went back to the family this time to suppress this matter. After all, no matter what happens, my mother won't help me."

What is more intimate than close physical contact is revealing your vulnerability to each other.

Seeing Ji Li's heartbroken words, yet his expression remained calm, Yan Qi felt truly distressed. She couldn't bear to see this person being treated unfairly. It turned out that there really were parents in this world who didn't love their own children.

The beauty's mother counted as one, and the original owner's parents also counted as a pair. It turns out that in the face of interests, family ties can also be broken.

Yan Qi was born without a family and has never felt the love of family, but she feels that family love should not be like this.

But he couldn't replace the beauty's mother, and didn't want to let him continue to be sad, so he quickly pulled up his watch and said:

"Ji Li, I will always support you no matter what you do. If you need a witness for this matter, I will testify for you even if it means I have to go through fire and water. I will stand by you forever."

Ji Li looked at the serious-looking young man who was standing close to him, as if he was about to testify in court. He raised his hand and pinched his cheek, saying, "You didn't listen to me carefully."

"How is that possible?" Yan Qi replied, she was very serious!

Ji Li really liked the young man's expression of worry for him, but seeing that he didn't realize that what he said was wrong at all, his thoughts gradually went astray, he couldn't help but frown and said:

"I'm only telling you this so you can understand me better, not to make you go through fire and water, understand?"

"Is that so..." Yan Qi thought for a moment, then said with determination in his eyes, "But I'm saying this to let you know that I'm willing to go through fire and water for you."

After hearing this, Ji Li felt his breathing stagnate. He felt like a trapped beast and tried hard not to let his emotions out at this moment.

The rooms on the spaceship were generally not large. Even the double room they were assigned was smaller than the average room, and even the bed had shrunk considerably. The two of them were originally not far apart, but after the operation, they were even closer.

Ji Li had always known that the boy was very handsome. Now lying so close to him, he looked even more handsome, making people really want to do something to him.

Ji Li glanced at him and continued, "Not yet. The most important thing for you now is to stop running around and follow Wan Conglun back to the army and wait for me to come back, okay?"

Yan Qi wanted to say something, but then he felt that since the beauty had arranged it this way, there must be a reason for it.

As a partner, she should trust the other party!

So he nodded obediently. After all, the beauty even gave him the medal of nobility as a talisman, so he must have his own plans.

However, Ji Li's next action made Yan Qi pause.
