Born to Be Rebellious [Quick Transmigration]

9

Ge Xiu’s face was blank, his soft and messy hair got rubbed all around, two skinny hands were raised up to protect the back of his head, and a pair of bright eyes that appear bigger and darker on his thin face were stunned and looked a little pitiful.
　　
　　Lulai calmly withdrew his evil hand, without any guilt on his face.
　　
　　His posture relaxed slightly, he leaned back on the chair, staring down at Ge Xiu, half-truthfully asked:
　　
　　”You are still young, what do you think so much about?”
　　
　　Ge Xiu pouted. He flattened his messy hair and when he raised his head again, his expression had already returned to the previous level with ease.
　　
　　Lulai couldn’t help but feel a little regretful.
　　
　　He saw the boy shrug carelessly, and the arc of laughter that curled up on his lips was so stubborn that it seemed a little heartless: “All forced by life, sir.”
　　
　　Lulai’s eyes were half drooping, and under the thick light golden eyelashes, there was a pair of silver-blue eyes that were waveless, like the unpredictable ocean on a windless day, the cold and stern breath restrained in his body.
　　
　　Ge Xiu raised his eyes to meet his gaze, still with a no fear on his face, even with an innocent smile.
　　
　　Their staring at each other only lasted for a few seconds.
　　
　　Lulai hooked up his lips: “That’s good.”
　　
　　These words weren’t finished, but Ge Xiu already knew that he agreed to let him join the group.
　　
　　He smiled and bent his eyes and stretched out the skinny hand to Lulai:
　　
　　”Happy cooperation.”
　　
　　Lulai also extended his hand to hold it and gathered Ge Xiu’s small cold fingers in his wide and slender palm.
　　
　　”Happy cooperation.”
　　
　　The simple ceremony ended, but Lulai’s palm did not let him go, his fingers with well-knotted joints were steady and calm, and the power contained in them was powerful, like an iron hoop that could not be removed, his quiet voice deliberately prolonged, the magnetic tone fell down at the end:
　　
　　”But…”
　　
　　Ge Xiu was a little surprised, he raised an eyebrow and waited for his next words.
　　
　　”——That will be after you become an adult.”
　　
　　Lulai added slowly.
　　
　　Ge Xiu raised his eyebrows and stared at him with a bad manner, his brows furrowed tightly and he could hardly believe his ears: “…Huh?”
　　
　　Lulai didn’t seem to be affected by his attitude at all. He looked calm and indifferent, and even looked at him jokingly:
　　
　　”Do you think that after being in the army for so many years I can’t feel the bone age?”
　　
　　He leaned forward with warm and powerful fingertips, squeezing Ge Xiu’s thin wrist.

He shook it lightly:
　　
　　”The Alliance Constitution stipulates that the galaxy residents become adult at 22 years old. How old are you at most? Nineteen? Twenty?”
　　
　　To be honest, Ge Xiu didn’t really know how old he was.
　　
　　He was arrested with no memory, sentenced in confusion and then he was thrown into this world of punishment without any information.
　　
　　But no matter what, he surely is an adult!
　　
　　And he must’ve been one for a long time already!
　　
　　Ge Xiu became angry from embarrassment. He crunched the remaining candy, gritted his teeth and said with an arrogant attitude: “Aren’t you going to overthrow the Alliance? Why do you care about what the Alliance’s Constitution says?”
　　
　　Lulai’s expression remained unchanged. He shook his head lightly:
　　
　　”I just don’t agree with their way of governing, but I don’t object to the regulations in the constitution – for example in the area of ​​adulthood.”
　　
　　”…”
　　
　　Ge Xiu and him stared at each other.
　　
　　Lulai finally let go of his thin and warm wrists that was covered by his palm at the moment, stood up, placed the chair under the table neatly again without a sound.
　　
　　He looked at Ge Xiu:
　　
　　”From today, I will be your guardian. Wait a moment. Hall will arrange a room for you and your crew. They can stay here until the Leviathan is repaired, and your treatment will be the same as my crew.”
　　
　　Ge Xiu lied down on the table sullenly.
　　
　　Looking at the young boy who was obviously irritated because of him Lulai finally had a real smile in his eyes: “Wait a moment, I’ll let someone deliver the candies to your room.”
　　
　　Ge Xiu finally had a reaction.
　　
　　He lifted his eyelids and said reluctantly:
　　
　　”…send more.”
　　
　　Lulai’s eyes smiled deeper and his cold, thin lips lifted up a tiny arc: “Okay.”
　　
　　He straightened his clothes, turned away and walked out of the ship’s cabin.
　　
　　Hall, who stood guard at the door without squinting his eyes, followed closely behind.
　　
　　After they left that cabin and walked away a bit futher, Hall endured and endured and finally said with doubts and grievances: “…Captain, this subordinate was put under your command at the age of nineteen.”
　　
　　Lulai continued to walk forward without turning his head back: “You are not the same.” Hall was stunned. He stared at his captain’s straight and broad back. After a while, he heard his calm and indifferent voice that came from the front:
