FMLB Chapter 90

Chapter 90- Baldness Discovery

 

Interstellar people don’t celebrate birthdays with cakes; they choose to have a sumptuous feast instead. With the help of robots, Xi Guican prepared two dishes: one meat dish and one fruit and vegetable platter.

 

He wasn’t skilled at cooking complicated dishes, so he chose the simple steamed pork.

 

He Ruge looked at the gigantic wild boar head in front of him with wide-open eyes, its dead eyes staring back, its mouth gaping open to reveal sharp white teeth, especially two particularly strong and curved tusks, which made him involuntarily…

 

Swallow saliva.

 

Heavens, could there be anything in the world more delicious than pig’s head?

 

This gigantic wild boar head was twice the size of any pig head He Ruge had ever seen, its fur plucked clean. After being steamed, the aroma of the meat easily enticed anyone nearby.

 

“Guican, do you have any seasonings here?” 

 

Slicing the steamed pork head into thin slices and dipping them in well-seasoned sauce was simply divine.

 

This time, Xi Guican bought a bunch of assorted seasonings from the Star Network. He Ruge dipped a bit of each seasoning from the small jars, tasting substitutes for soy sauce, vinegar, chili, sugar, and other seasonings in the interstellar realm.

 

A drop of dark brown sauce splattered onto his fingertip, and He Ruge instinctively licked it. Though this was a very normal action, Xi Guican involuntarily blushed. He thought of some rather unpleasant things, like the soft tongue licking another color liquid…

 

He Ruge took a small bowl and mixed the seasonings according to his taste. After finishing, he looked up to see Xi Guican’s red ears. 

 

He Ruge didn’t think of anything else and simply said, “Guican, do you have a knife? I want to cut thin slices of meat from the pig’s head.”

 

Though Xi Guican wasn’t skilled in cooking, his knife skills were excellent. He quickly brought out a knife, and with swift movements, thin slices of meat fell into the plate. He Ruge evenly poured the mixed seasonings from the small bowl over the pig’s head meat.

 

In the interstellar world, there were no chopsticks, only knives and forks. He Ruge used a fork to pick up a slice of pig’s head meat. The delicious, juicy, and not greasy meat emitted a tempting aroma, melting in his mouth without feeling oily, offering a rich flavor.

 

“Very delicious, it’s the best pig’s head meat I’ve ever had. Guican, you’re really amazing!” 

 

He Ruge not only nodded vigorously but also gave Xi Guican a thumbs-up. Although plucking the hair off the pig and then steaming it wasn’t a technically challenging task, the deliciousness of this pig’s head meat was probably due to the superior ingredients. 

 

Besides, shouldn’t children be praised?

 

Not wanting to discourage his son’s enthusiasm, Xi Guican was moved by the fact that he could cook for him.

 

After hearing He Ruge’s praise, Xi Guican felt relieved at first, then a sense of pride welled up within him. Being able to cook such delicious dishes as a beginner, he must indeed have great talent in cooking.

 

At this moment, Xi Guican felt like when he received a thousand words of rainbow fart praise from fans, producing a mysterious self-confidence within him.

 

He used a fork to pick up a bunch of meat slices, and after finishing eating them, he also found the taste extremely satisfying. The dining table was large, rectangular, and He Ruge and Xi Guican sat together, occasionally feeding each other.

 

“Happy birthday.” 

 

Xi Guican’s mouth was oily, but he didn’t realize it. He wanted to kiss He Ruge. He Ruge wiped his equally oily lips and, before Xi Guican could lean in for the kiss, quickly planted one on Xi Guican’s cheekbone, as if highlighting it.

 

Blue eyes sparkled with brilliance, and Xi Guican immersed himself in the pleasure of being kissed, like a big cat being stroked, squinting with satisfaction.

 

He Ruge felt like he had done something bad to a child and inexplicably felt a little guilty. He picked up a tissue and wiped the oil stains off Xi Guican’s face, whispering softly, “I’m happy, this is the happiest birthday I’ve ever had.”

 

Because you’re here.

 

After feeling a bit greasy from the pig’s head meat, they ate some fruits and vegetables. The warm yellow light illuminated He Ruge’s face, enveloping it in gentle light. Watching the beautiful person eat easily reminded people of the phrase “beautiful enough to eat.” 

 

Xi Guican used to replace traditional meals with nutrient solution; he always felt that eating was a waste of time, perhaps because he didn’t have a strong desire for food, so he drank nutrient solution for many years.

 

But now he realized that traditional dining was a wonderful thing. It wasn’t just about the food; it was about the good atmosphere, the warmth, as if bathing in sunlight.

 

Seeing his beloved eating his hand-cooked food with satisfaction filled Xi Guican’s heart.

 

He Ruge ate one-fifth of the meat from the huge pig’s head, and the rest was devoured by Xi Guican.

 

He left the dishwashing to the robot and resumed his live broadcast. Xi Guican sneaked off to the bathroom to soak in a hair-growing bath. The hair transplant surgery arranged with the doctor would take place in the middle of the night. 

 

After He Ruge fell asleep soundly, Xi Guican would secretly undergo the surgery. By the time He Ruge was about to wake up at dawn, he would return with a head of astonishingly thick white tiger fur.

 

Although his hair would grow back quickly, he still needed to soak in the hair-growing bath. The doctor had already told him about the terrible hair loss two months after the hair transplant surgery, so Xi Guican wanted to soak in the hair-growing bath as much as possible now, even if the effect was minimal, he had to persist.

 

Xi Guican happily opened his broadcast that he had arranged before, preparing to watch He Ruge’s broadcast while soaking in the hair-growing bath. But before watching the broadcast, he needed to handle military affairs.

 

A tiger shark from the headquarters asked him to rush to the front lines of the Star Wars in the next few days.

 

The Star Wars was taking place at the Sixteenth Star. The Sixteenth Star was a very magical planet, with its eastern hemisphere entirely covered by sea and its western hemisphere almost entirely land. 

 

The Star Wars initially broke out in the western hemisphere, but by now, the front lines had gradually advanced to the dividing line between the eastern and western hemispheres. The eastern hemisphere could only engage in air and sea battles, and although the insect race had an advantage in aerial combat over the Federation, their strength would be greatly reduced once they entered the sea. 

 

Therefore, no one could predict the subsequent battle situation.

 

For the sake of feeding the Wings of Slaughter, Xi Guican didn’t have much resistance to participating in the war. He just didn’t know how to arrange for He Ruge.

 

For the sake of He Ruge’s safety, he shouldn’t take He Ruge to the Sixteenth Star. 

 

But… 

 

Once he thought of separating from He Ruge, his entire body was filled with resistance. The ten days when the game ended were the most difficult for Xi Guican; he couldn’t accept a day without He Ruge’s company, not even a second.

 

It felt like there were two souls fighting in his mind, one being the red-eyed little white tiger, who sneered, “You’re practically dying without him for just ten days. Don’t you have any idea how long the Star Wars will last? By then, let’s see if you’ll be wishing for death.”

 

The blue-eyed little white tiger calmly retorted, “But the Star Wars is very dangerous. What if something happens to him, if he gets hurt? Then I’ll truly wish for death.”

 

The red-eyed little white tiger snapped, “You coward! Useless! You can’t even protect the person you like, what kind of man are you!”

 

The blue-eyed little white tiger retorted, “You brute! Impulsive fool! Making jokes about his safety for your own selfish desires, who are you to protect him!”

 

The two little white tigers roared angrily, charging at each other, biting and scratching, turning into a mess.

 

The bald white tiger burned with anger, slamming its large paws onto the water surface. Even though the room had excellent soundproofing, Xi Guican was afraid of disturbing He Ruge outside. He suppressed his anger and withdrew his claws. 

 

With fierce blue eyes, he turned on the game, wanting to see how much the fatherly love of He Ruge had deteriorated to cheer himself up. But when his gaze fell on the following line of data, the white tiger froze—

 

[Fatherly Love as Steady as a Mountain]: He Ruge loves you very much, it’s the affection of an old father towards a bald cub, even if your fur is gone, He Ruge’s fatherly love for you remains unchanged (Fatherly Love Deterioration Progress: 9%).

 

The two fighting little white tigers simultaneously froze, their gazes blank as if struck by lightning. After a long silence, the sound of a collapsed tiger’s roar echoed through the bathroom.

 

Roar—!!!

 

When did the fact that I’m bald get exposed?! 

 

How did He Ruge find out?! 

 

And why is the deterioration progress of fatherly love still regressing?!!!

 

He Ruge continued to livestream in front of his desk, the most frequently asked questions in the barrage being selected and presented in front of him. He glanced over them and chose a few to answer.

 

For example, “Is the food made by Xi Guican delicious?” 

 

He Ruge replied seriously, “The food made by Guican is delicious, I’m so full.” 

 

He then placed his hand on his slightly bulging belly.

 

The barrage began to scream again:

 

“Oh my god, I’m so jealous, I want to eat the food made by General Xi too!”

 

“I want to have dinner with Ruge, sniff, sniff, sniff, just looking at that beautiful face makes me want to eat four big bowls!”

 

“I envy this figure, so slim, even after eating there’s no trace of fat left QAQ”

 

“Ah ah ah ah ah, this pose looks like he’s pregnant, the child of two gods must be incredibly handsome! I really want to see a mini version of the gods ah ah ah ah, I want to cloud-raise a baby!”

 

He Ruge: “…”

 

You guys are thinking too far, you’re even thinking about children? 

 

Wait, no, he and Xi Guican are the same gender, how can they have children? Could it be that same-sex reproduction is possible in the interstellar world? 

 

Then this technology is too, too, too amazing.

 

Thinking about the little snowball-like white tiger for a moment, He Ruge’s body once again radiated the radiant glory of an old father. The cub’s fur hadn’t even grown back yet, and raising Xi Guican had already consumed all his energy. There was no extra love to spare for other furry creatures.

 

He Ruge looked back at the other questions, like “God, how did you and Xi Guican get together? Who pursued who? How long have you been together?” 

 

These questions were about his and Xi Guican’s relationship.

 

There were also questions like “God, why are you so beautiful and have such a nice voice? Where are you from, and what race are you? I want to fall in love with someone from your place and try to have a baby as good-looking as you!” 

 

These questions were about his personal information.

 

He Ruge pressed his finger against his lips, making a shushing gesture. He spoke softly, “Today’s livestream is about storytelling and singing, not answering questions.”

 

Before the disappointed barrage, He Ruge said gently, “Next, I’ll sing a song for everyone.” 

 

He used his spiritual energy to produce a melodious voice and sang a song.
