CHAPTER 144: CHAPTER 50: THE NINTH TRANSFORMATION OF THE LARGE INTESTINE_3

It’s definitely a very routine retirement life.

"Not going out. What’s up? Is there anything happening at home?" Ke Xing shook his head and put down the Interstellar Morning News he finally finished reading. He couldn’t go out for a walk and engage in small talk every day; those old friends of his also needed proper rest.

"Nothing, I was just casually asking," Du Xixi lazily leaned on the soft sofa, her eyebrows gentle, and with her mask already off, she flaunted a relaxed smile. "I was just wondering if you’d be bored at home, Dad."

When Du Xixi mentioned it, Ke Xing really felt a bit bored: "At home, there’s nothing to do, it’s indeed quite boring."

Considering Ke Xing’s current age, in the entire Star Era, he’s just an aging middle-aged man, at over two hundred years old, who still has lots of days left to live.

But Ke Xing’s health wasn’t good. Early in his life, during military service and battles with the Insect Clan, he accumulated many chronic conditions, the kind that couldn’t be cured, which is why he retired early from the Military Department.

If not for this, with his age and skills, he could still have contributed significantly to the Empire for many decades in the Military Department!

Instead of his current routine of waking up to have breakfast, finishing breakfast to read the morning news, finishing the news to wait for lunch, after lunch going for a stroll, chatting during the stroll, coming back for dinner, another stroll after dinner, more chatting, then having a midnight snack, digesting it before sleeping, waking up to have breakfast again...

It’s really so boring!

"Xixi, why don’t I..." Thinking of the journey interrupted by his son’s serious injury and coma, Ke Xing laughed, "Why don’t I continue my unfinished trip and come back when you’re about to give birth."

Traveling is something to look forward to, but the grandson is definitely more important than the trip. Since Du Xixi was being protected by so many people, any unexpected early birth, or sudden attack, was simply impossible. Ke Xing figured as long as he returned before the due date, nothing would be delayed.

Du Xixi naturally had no objections, and coincidentally, Ke Lian walked out of the training room at this moment, heard Ke Xing’s idea, wiped his sweat and walked over, speaking plainly: "If you want to go, just go. Stay safe."

Ke Lian has always had a cold and noble appearance, but he wasn’t cold in front of Du Xixi, so she forgot how handsome her husband could look with such indifference.

Just out of exercise, the man was only wearing sportswear, with sweat soaking it, causing it to cling tightly to his body, revealing well-shaped muscles.

But even more captivating, were his bright eyes glancing over with lips slightly pursed, almost making one’s legs go weak.

Ke Lian still had sweat beads on him, afraid the sweat smell would affect Du Xixi, he didn’t walk over, but seeing Du Xixi staring at him blankly, Ke Lian asked curiously: "What’s wrong?"

Could it be there’s something uncomfortable?

Du Xixi wasn’t concerned about anything at home, and with Miao Miao and Ke Xing being family, she chuckled narcissistically, "I wonder if I’m secreting too much hormones after getting pregnant. Ke Lian, you’re so handsome today."

Ke Lian immediately felt like something in his mind had collapsed with a "boom", followed by a surge of heat spreading from his ears to his face. Yes, Marshal Ke, under the watchful eyes of Miao Miao and his father, was embarrassed.

He covered his mouth and coughed, avoiding Du Xixi’s smiling gaze, randomly leaving a sentence behind before walking upstairs slightly hastily.

The sentence he left was: "What... what are you talking about!"

Du Xixi felt somewhat ashamed when she spoke, but Ke Lian’s reaction was even more intense than hers, making her feel a great sense of accomplishment and causing her to hug a cute and silly pillow while bursting into laughter.

Miao Miao and Ke Xing also laughed. They had never seen Ke Lian show such a "shy" side!

In the unabashed laughter from the three, Ke Lian’s footsteps faltered slightly, followed by a loud closing of the door, seemingly loudly expressing someone’s embarrassment.

After Ke Lian finished showering and changed clothes before coming downstairs again, he appeared to have returned to his calm demeanor, even managing to pour himself a glass of warm water while being watched by the three.

Although he appeared calm on the surface, his slightly trembling hands still betrayed the nervousness within him.

Du Xixi gave Miao Miao and Ke Xing each a look, prompting Miao Miao to start "carefully" examining the fluff on the pillow, while Ke Xing picked up the Interstellar Morning News again, "carefully" counting the number of words on it.

Du Xixi leaned closer to Ke Lian’s ear, teasingly asked, "I compliment you on being handsome quite often. Why is your reaction so intense today?"

Ke Lian glared at her without enthusiasm: "Usually when you compliment me, it’s in the room, just the two of us. Earlier, it was in front of Miao Miao and Dad!"

"So that’s why!" Du Xixi laughed, resting her head on Ke Lian’s shoulder, "So Marshal Ke, is shy because of this!"
