Holding On to My Man

Chapter 90

Edited by Evan

No matter how stunned and disbelieving everyone was, the crazy, tyrannical admiral was so gentle when he inquired about the name of “little baby” Gu Bai, and only afterwards did he step onto the platform and start the serious departure ceremony with the king.

With the admiral’s example, the soldiers naturally didn’t take Gu Bai away, but kindly sent him back to the cadet team, making the people watching StarNet extremely mad and envious.

The king also directly ignored the existence of Gu Bai. His admiral had already said, “Be kind to the people of the Empire.” As a king who loved the people, he couldn’t lose face, ah...

Then the atmosphere finally got on the right track. After the king’s serious words, everyone didn’t delay. They all immediately got into the spaceship. The archaeological exploration of Earth’s tomb couldn’t be delayed at all.

Then, to everyone’s envy and jealousy again, Admiral Han of the Empire took a few of his own guards with him onto the cadets’ spaceship.

It was about a three days’ flight from the capital planet of the Empire to the Earth’s parent star.

In the next few days, the leader of the archaeological team, who was the authoritative expert in archaeology and the president of the Imperial College, would give everyone a general introduction to the Earth’s ancient tombs. Everyone had to save time and start working as soon as they arrived at Earth and finished setting up the camp.

There were so many archaeologists this time. As many as 30 famous experts and 20 cadets had come along to study, so the team had become very large.

After all, this was only a preliminary exploration of the ancient tomb, with none of the subsequent excavation and other required work. So this many archaeologists gathered together was also a very lively and grand thing.

Everyone gathered in the special meeting hall on the spaceship. Although Gu Bai was rejected by everyone, he couldn’t be absent from such occasions when everyone was there, especially when Han Lijun was there too. How could he miss it?!

However, due to his identity, he could only sit in the back. He lifted his chin to look for the other person’s figure and found that his man was also looking around for him, so he stood up and waved joyfully.

“Here, here, Admiral, are you looking for me? I’m here!”

His voice and actions were too obvious, and the conference room was only so big, so even if someone didn’t want to notice him, they would have to.

“Qiao Qi, sit down!”

The dean couldn’t help his mouth twitching and reprimanded him. Why did the serious archaeology team suddenly have this love-struck fool in it? He must have had a brain fart at that time when he let the Qiao family in through the back door!

Because of the live broadcast, everyone’s actions were all on camera at the moment. Everyone in StarNet was just like the Dean when they saw this scene. This person wasn’t just satisfied with their depression, this infatuated idiot wanted to approach their male god again.

“He doesn’t have any self-awareness at all. He doesn’t realize that the admiral must have been giving him some face since it was an interstellar broadcast? Such thick skin!”

The people in front of StarNet beat their hearts and feet.

Gu Bai’s face was really thick. Besides, he couldn’t see the reactions on StarNet. As for all the disdainful eyes currently glaring at him, he also automatically ignored them. His eyes were only on Admiral Han in the front row. The original host’s love-struck character intensified his love for his man.

By the end of his words, Gu Bai’s eyes were bright, and the mouth of the head of the Imperial College twitched even more. People there couldn’t bear to look directly at Gu Bai.

The netizens on StarNet roared again: “Ooooh, he’s too narcissistic and shameless! Admiral, kick him out quickly!”

It was a pity that the crazy and overbearing admiral was enjoying the pursuit of this kind of narcissist very much at the moment. There was a strong sense of joy brewing in his eyes. He looked at the bright eyes of Gu Bai, and no matter how he looked at him, he found him adorable. He couldn’t help laughing.

“Cute little baby, are you an adult? According to interstellar law, minors aren’t allowed to have boyfriends...”

“I’m still two years away from being an adult...” Gu Bai lamented that according to the life expectancy of the interstellar people, 20 years old was considered an adult, and the original owner was only 18 now.

“That’s fine, you can pursue me first...”

Seeing his sad appearance, Han Lijun couldn’t help but poke and pinch Gu Bai’s face with a completely doting smile.

The audience at the scene and in front of StarNet couldn’t help spitting blood.

What do you mean, Admiral? The subtext is that when he’s grown up, you’ve already promised to him, right? And right now you’re very much enjoying his pursuit? And what’s with the “cute little baby” and completely doting smile?!

The king and the noble ministers in front of StarNet were also horrified. Was this the merciless admiral? God, they had to be dreaming....

“Cough, Admiral Han, do you think we should start the study of ancient tombs now?”

The dean of the Imperial College couldn’t bear it any longer. They were here to be serious archaeologists, not to put on tooth-rotting shows of affection.

The beautiful atmosphere was broken, and the admiral put away his doting expression and nodded. He then conveniently pulled Gu Bai into the chair beside him and sat down to start the study of ancient tombs.

Everyone was quiet. The dean introduced a young man of about 28 to the center of the room.

“This is Mr. Li Yuhong from our department of archaeology. Mr. Li discovered the tomb of the Earth this time. He’ll explain the details to you.”

Li Yuhong walked up to the crowd, nodded politely at them, and then directly opened the projector to start talking about his work.

“This tomb of Earth was discovered by my friends and I when we were exploring together. In ancient times, human beings were really amazing. They didn’t have the high-leveled technology we have now, but they successfully built a tomb that existed for tens of thousands of years and even didn’t get destroyed by the planetary impact on Earth in the last century. You need to know that the disaster in the last century almost destroyed all the buildings and creatures on Earth’s surface...”

Li Yuhong spoke with such fervor that people were immersed in his story. People on StarNet were quiet while watching the live broadcast online.

So many things had been destroyed by the disaster of tens of thousands of years’ on the old mother planet that the surviving people couldn’t forget that they had originated from Earth. It was a deep-rooted concept of all races to return to their roots.

“At the beginning of the discovery, we carried out a simple test in the ancient tomb. According to the test results, we can’t infer the ancient tomb’s specific origin date, but we can be sure that it was earlier than the extinction era...”

The extinction era was 10,000 years ago. If the tomb was created earlier than the extinction era, that meant that it was from the past ancient times!

Everyone was shocked. Gu Bai also thought about it. According to that person’s words, the time of the extinction era was the modern times he had once lived in. So that meant that something still earlier than the extinction era was ancient times calculated forward.

The more ancient things were, the more mysterious they were. Everyone grew more and more interested in the ancient tomb, including Gu Bai. However, what he was more interested in was the energy that could make this tomb survive beyond the past era.

Li Yuhong’s story was still continuing, and he talked as he flipped through the projector.

“In addition to the origin date of the tomb, what’s more amazing is that our detectors can’t determine the situation inside at all. There’s a strange force blocking it. If you want to know the specific situation, you’ll have to go in by yourself, as we had only been able to take some external pictures at that time...”

“Let’s all have a look first. There’s also a picture of the characters taken at the entrance of the tomb. We have studied the characters on it, including Miss Nangong, who is known as an expert of ancient Chinese, and we still can’t explain them.... Our ancestors are so mysterious.”

In the end, Li Yuhong was pitied and adored. A beautiful woman in a purple dress sitting next to him nodded her head and agreed.

“Yes, I can’t translate these words, but I can be sure that these words should be from about 3,000 years ago, from the Western Zhou Dynasty culture before the end of the era. Looking at the pictures of this tomb, I guess it should be an ancient imperial tomb...”

When hearing this voice, Gu Bai looked up, and his memory of the plot popped up. The beautiful woman in purple was Nangong Xuan. She was the only one who could accurately talk about the culture before the end of the era.

There was no doubt that this woman was a transmigrator. Besides a transmigrator, who else in the interstellar world could know so much about Earth’s culture?

“The Western Zhou Dynasty?” People were puzzled by her words.

“Yes, recently I’ve been studying the different dynasties before Earth’s extinction era...”

Nangong Xuan smiled and nodded. Everyone admired her highly educated appearance.

No one had thoroughly studied the culture of the time during the extinction era, but Miss Nangong had even studied the more ancient culture. Indeed, she was worthy of being the talented young lady professor who had restored countless long lost characters of Earth.

StarNet was also filled with exclamations of, “Miss Nangong is really talented. Only someone talented like this is suitable for our Admiral Han. Qiao Qi, that fool, can’t even compare to one of her toes!”

Han Lijun also nodded his head to show appreciation. Such a young archaeology professor who was also a woman was really admirable. Few girls could persevere in such boring and hard work as archaeology.

Noticing Han Lijun’s appreciation, Nangong Xuan raised her chin slightly and became more confident.

Admiral Han was not only handsome, but also had a noble family status. Towards such a rich and handsome man, any woman would be moved even if she was a transmigrator with a protagonist’s halo.

It was just that she had always been confident, and now she had a reputation as a talented young lady in the Empire. With her reputation on the line, naturally, she couldn’t just straightforwardly declare her love like Gu Bai did.

What was more, this wasn’t a matter that should be rushed. What was too easy to get wouldn’t be treasured by men. It was only right for her to use her unique charm to attract the other party and get him to worship her at her feet.

However, who knew that the demon Gu Bai would suddenly appear here and make a killing. It seemed that the admiral was quite interested in him, and if she were to show off a little now, it would become tricky.

It turned out that even if she had no ability at all, the simple knowledge gleaned just from once living on Earth was enough to fool these interstellar people who were smart in science and technology but ignorant of ancient culture. People were amazed and admired her talent.

But one of them was an exception. Gu Bai, who also knew “ancient culture” well, stared at everyone and said, “You’re so capable. How could you be so capable?” And he couldn’t help but laugh.

His laughter was so sudden in the quiet seminar that everyone suddenly looked at him, and the camera for StarNet also turned towards him.

“Classmate Qiao, this is an archaeological seminar. Please be serious! Do you have any comments you want to make?!”

The dean could not help but grit his teeth and roar in his heart. It was this guy, it was this guy again!

“Yes, dean. I have something to say. I have very detailed suggestions for this archaeological exploration...” Gu Bai nodded seriously.

“If you have something to say, then say it!” The dean’s forehead was blue.

“My suggestion is...”

In the eyes of everyone around, Gu Bai coughed and cleared his throat. He spoke at a serious and slow speed. He stopped midway through his speech, looked around at all the people and smiled, then turned his head sharply to look at Han Lijun.

“My suggestion is... Can Admiral Han give me a kiss first? Is a deep and hot kiss okay? My love for you has been beyond my control. I need you to help calm me down...”

As he said it, he moved by himself and blew him a kiss.

Everyone on site: (⊙ o ⊙)!

Interstellar netizen: Smelly, shameless, disgusting, and lovesick fool!

Admiral Han smiled and said, “Okay.”

“......”

Everyone fell over.
