Chapter 768 - 368: Unpleasant Reunion (Part 2)

Every little bear has a period of reckless youth, and these memories are like landmines, whoever dares to step on them will be blown up.

Gu Ningxuan thought of this as just childhood fun, but he didn’t expect that the little boy who was so excited to wear girls’ clothes back then has now grown into a rather mature teenager. When he showed childhood photos, the impact was immense!

No surprise, Huaifeng completely lost it. Unlike Huaixi, who merely shows an irritable expression when he loses it, Huaifeng became furious and directly started fighting with Gu Ningxuan. Unexpectedly, the teenager in a rage was completely suppressed by the man who claimed to be his father.

"Enough, what are you two up to! Whether it’s true or false, let the great-grandfathers discern. How can a few questions and pictures explain anything?" Huaixi was already somewhat agitated, and when he found out these two guys didn’t hold back at all, his temper flared to the extreme, his words cold and piercing, "Now, everyone fall in!"

Gu Ningxuan fended off Huaifeng’s attack with just one hand throughout. When Huaixi got angry, he easily took Jun Feng from Huaifeng’s hand. Seeing the child who once looked at him with wet eyes had grown up, he felt an indescribable emptiness.

The headquarters was not far from here, and Huaifeng fell behind on the way to pick up three friends trapped on the rooftop of a high building.

Gu Ningxuan sat in the co-pilot seat of Huaixi’s mecha, turned his head slightly, and could easily see the young boy skillfully maneuvering the gigantic machine, performing various delicate actions, everything under control. Recalling back then, the child would drool over the simulated mecha cockpit, but now he had obtained the Mecha Master’s license, with remarkably proficient driving skills.

Huaixi had very keen senses, naturally not missing Gu Ningxuan’s gaze. Unconsciously, he tightened his grip on the object in his hand, his facial muscles taut, looking somewhat stiff and deliberate on the outside. Despite his lack of expression, like Huaifeng, he was anxious, was this man truly the Gu Ningxuan who disappeared years ago? Or... just a high-quality imposter?

Rationality told him that Gu Ningxuan couldn’t have survived the cosmic turbulence and black hole, but he didn’t want the other to be an impostor. Gu Huaixi’s current state of mind was extremely complex; from the first moment he saw him, he was convinced this person was not fake.

But years of education repeatedly reminded him that the truth of the matter needed absolute evidence, not a reckless judgment tainted with personal feelings. Is this person... real or fake? Gu Huaixi maintained a calm expression, secretly thinking, the truth will soon surface.

Returning to the temporary headquarters, he asked the others to keep an eye on Gu Ningxuan first, then returned to the single dormitory to change into clean clothes, decisively connecting to his great-grandfather’s private line. Given the Insect Race’s special abilities and destructive power, communication devices could inevitably be affected. To ensure signal clarity, certain special measures had to be taken.

Gu Molin received the communication request and connected without hesitation. Seeing the projection of his great-grandson’s face on the virtual screen, the old man’s heart was greatly comforted. Because of the years of running around, he aged faster than ever before. Although his voice was still full of vigor, the oldness could not be hidden, "Xiao Xi, is today’s mission already completed?"

"I’m sorry, great-grandfather, the mission failed..." Speaking of the mission, Huaifeng’s mood dipped slightly. Over the years, he had been trying his best, even for the simplest tasks. He didn’t want to fail, as that would make him appear useless and weak.

"No one has a perfectly smooth life. One or two failures don’t mean anything. To me, your and Xiao Feng’s safety is far more important than the mission. Wherever you fall, just get back up from there, isn’t life exactly like this."

Since the two little ones were under Gu Molin’s care, the old man had always taught them with this kind and gentle attitude. Success wouldn’t make them conceited, as they were appropriately reminded, and failure wouldn’t be met with ridicule, as tender and forgiving encouragement was never lacking.

Sometimes Huaixi always felt very fortunate, having lost his father and mother but still having many truly caring and protective relatives. Even though these relatives had the Alliance as their top priority, at least he wasn’t alone.
