Chapter 418: Chapter 417: Extra 12: Medical Tour to the Border Defense Star 4 (He Hanshi)

When Er Er saw Liu Si, his little face lit up. "Uncle Si, you brought so many snacks again!"

After Shi Lan gave birth to her six cubs, she made a special trip to take them to Yaoxing to see Uncle and Aunt Gao. Everyone adored the little ones.

Since Liu Si was always stationed on the Border Defense Star, he saw Er Er more than any of the other children. He would give Er Er lots of treats every time he visited, so Er Er was also very fond of this Uncle Si.

In the past, Liu Si would spend all his free time training arduously. Now, whenever Er Er was around, he would enthusiastically dote on the little cub.

However, He Hanshi preferred having Bai Feng and Levito look after the children, as the two were more capable and therefore a safer choice for the cubs.

Liu Si noticed Shi Lan and He Hanshi approaching. Looking a little sheepish, he placed the snacks on a small side table and resumed his usual quiet and earnest demeanor. "Admiral. Sis."

Shi Lan warmly called him "Brother Si." Over the years, she and Liu Si had grown much closer and were no longer as distant as they had been at first.

Even He Hanshi nodded without batting an eye. "Brother Si."

They all had their own ways of addressing each other, and it simply worked for them.

Bai Feng and the others had found it strange at first, but they eventually got used to it.

Jiang Yan, on the other hand, was surprised to learn Shi Lan had a brother here. After Shi Lan made the introductions, she found out he was a son from her adoptive mother’s family.

Jiang Yan knew a little about Uncle and Aunt Gao. They were the ones who had almost adopted Shi Lan. Although the adoption never went through, they had always looked out for her, which was why Shi Lan remained close to them.

As Shi Lan’s good friend, she chimed in, "Brother Si, my name is Jiang Yan. I’m Lanlan’s best friend."

Looking a bit lost, Liu Si nodded. "Hello."

Just then, Bai Feng spoke up. "Miss Jiang Yan, I’m much older than Captain Liu, so you can call me Brother Bai too."

"Oh."

Jiang Yan nodded indifferently. "If you’re that much older, wouldn’t it be fine for me to call you Uncle?"

Bai Feng’s face instantly darkened. He rubbed his nose sullenly and muttered in displeasure, "Am I really that old?"

He was forty, but with his high Spiritual Power Level and the good care he took of himself, he looked almost the same as he did in his youth.

Er Er tilted his little face up and looked at him seriously. "You’re not old. Uncle Bai Feng is very handsome. My mommy says men your age are the most charming."

Bai Feng’s confidence was instantly restored. "Oh, our Er Er truly is an angel."

At their side, the corner of Shi Lan’s mouth twitched. She instinctively glanced at He Hanshi, who gave her a suggestive half-smile. She silently placed a hand on her lower back.

Shi Lan had originally said those words because He Hanshi had been feeling insecure, thinking he was old and worrying she would reject him. Naturally, she had showered him with compliments, but she never expected Er Er to repeat them.

’It’s one thing when the compliments are for your own partner,’ she thought, ’but directed at another male, it just feels weird.’

That night, He Hanshi took Er Er to the cub room designed especially for him. The cubs were trained from a young age to sleep alone, so Er Er was already used to having his own room.

But in the past, when he and his mommy came to visit his daddy, the three of them would sometimes sleep together. So Er Er looked at his father expectantly, blinking his big, round blue eyes. "Daddy, can I sleep with you and Mommy?"

He Hanshi looked down at his cub’s bright eyes and gently placed him on the bed. "Be a good boy. Er Er is a big cub now. You can’t always be so clingy with Mommy. You need to sleep on your own, understand?"

"Oh..."

Er Er was a little disappointed, but he seemed to think his daddy had a point. He pulled the covers over himself but was reluctant to close his eyes.

He Hanshi sighed silently and patted his son’s head fondly. He took a bedtime storybook from his Space Chain and began to narrate in a soft, unhurried voice.

"Once upon a time, there was a little White Lion who found a piece of a robot..."

Listening to his daddy’s voice, Er Er felt content and unknowingly drifted off to sleep.

After getting his son to sleep, He Hanshi finally returned to his own bedroom, his mind now free of distractions.

Shi Lan had already washed up and was lying under the covers. He stared at the small lump she made, the smile on his lips deepening as he nonchalantly undid the buttons on his shirt.

"Lanlan? My wife, are you asleep?"

He called out twice. When there was no response, he murmured, "Looks like she’s asleep."

With that, he stepped into the bathroom, closing the door softly behind him. The gentle sound of running water could be heard from within.

Shi Lan waited a moment. Once she was sure it was quiet, she glanced guiltily toward the bathroom and let out a soft sigh of relief.

’He’s taking a shower, so nothing’s going to happen, right?’

Her heart pounded nervously as her thoughts ran wild. She buried her head under the covers, not even noticing when the sound of the water stopped.

Then she felt a sudden coolness behind her as a scorching hot body slowly pressed against her from behind, a broad, warm hand landing on her waist.

Shi Lan shivered instinctively, unable to suppress her reaction.

He Hanshi’s low, husky laugh came from behind her. "So Lanlan wasn’t asleep after all."

Shi Lan’s heart skipped a beat. She was too stunned to reply.

He Hanshi’s hand began to wander, sliding from her slender waist until it found her own hand.

Shi Lan wondered what he was about to do, but he simply took her hand and placed it on his body.

He guided it down from his chest, slowly past his well-defined abs, and seemed intent on moving it even further down...

She couldn’t keep up the act any longer. She snatched her hand back, her face flushed as she stammered, "You... Why aren’t you wearing any pajamas?"

He was completely naked...

He Hanshi sighed softly, his voice laced with amusement. "Giving up the act, Lanlan?"

Shi Lan turned her head to glare at him, retorting with a flushed face, "What act? You’re the one who woke me up."

"Alright, it’s all my fault. In that case, will my wife punish me?"

He Hanshi looked at her meekly, the very picture of remorse.

Of course, Shi Lan wasn’t actually angry, so there was no reason to punish him.

She put on a magnanimous air. "It’s fine, it’s fine. I forgive you. Let’s just go back to sleep."

"No, the fault is mine. If Lanlan lets me off this easily, my conscience will bother me. I won’t be able to sleep."

"In that case, please allow me to serve my wife properly, until my wife is in high spirits again."

With that, he threw back the covers, rolled on top of her, and candidly presented his body to her.

Alright, alright. Now Shi Lan understood perfectly.

’Her man is trying this hard to seduce her,’ she thought. ’I can’t be outdone.’

"Fine. Serve me well tonight. If your performance isn’t up to par, you’ll be sleeping alone tomorrow."

"As you command!"

He Hanshi’s eyes danced with amusement. He dropped the pitiful act from before and began to physically demonstrate the sincerity of his service.

But even in the throes of passion, he didn’t forget to ask, "Lanlan, do you like an older man like me, or do you like all older men who are like me?"

In her daze, Shi Lan didn’t quite grasp the difference and mumbled vaguely, "I like them... I like them all."

He Hanshi immediately stopped, his eyes tinged with disappointment. "So, Lanlan likes all older men?"

The blissful feeling hung suspended. Shi Lan’s mind cleared a bit, and hearing his words, alarm bells screamed in her head. She immediately hugged him tightly, leaned in to kiss him softly, and repeated firmly several times, "No, no, no! I only like you! The one and only you!"

"Oh? What about my clone?"

It seemed he wanted to draw a comparison, so he brought up his clone.

Shi Lan was a little bewildered. "Your clone... isn’t that also you?"

"Is it?"

He Hanshi’s eyes narrowed slightly as he said softly, "In that case, perhaps Lanlan should take a closer look to be sure."

As he spoke, a faint silver light flashed over his body, and another identical He Hanshi appeared on the bed.

Shi Lan stared at the two identical faces, then frantically dove under the covers. But she was slowly drawn back out by the two He Hanshis, who began to pepper her body with gentle kisses. With every kiss, one would ask, "Lanlan, do you like me, or ’him’?"

All night, the two He Hanshis kept asking her which "older man" she truly liked.

By the end, Shi Lan had no idea what she had said to finally make the two of them let her go.

And so, she learned another lesson: she could never again say anything misleading in front of her son, especially not about being ’old,’ lest a certain ’older man’ get wildly jealous over nothing.
