The tall, silver-haired man exuded an aura that made him seem difficult to approach, causing the crowd to instinctively steer clear of him, creating a subtle vacuum around him.
If it weren’t for the rarity of someone pulling a suitcase adorned with childish stars, and if his appearance and flight time didn’t match perfectly, Bai Muxing would have thought he had made a mistake.
But everything matched up, and he couldn’t deceive himself into thinking he had mistaken the person.
He hesitated for a moment, feeling oddly unsettled and unable to articulate his feelings, and didn’t approach on his own.
Before he could come to a decision, the other party had already noticed him faster.
The man glanced around the crowd, his eyes seemingly equipped with radar, taking only a few seconds to accurately lock onto Bai Muxing.
In that moment, Bai Muxing felt like he was being stared at by some large predator; the silver eyes momentarily brightened when they met his own.
The joyous undertones bursting from those inorganic colors felt like a bizarre and twisted smile from a monster lurking in the crowd.
In an instant, Bai Muxing felt as though he had sunk into a strange time layer, the people around him falling into silence, as if someone had pressed the pause button.
In the long corridor of time, all existence blurred and vanished, with colossal star beasts, shattered ships, and even the most severe galactic storms and currents reduced to nothingness, leaving only this gaze piercing through many ages, silently staring at him.
Bai Muxing’s spine suddenly tingled, as if even the deepest part of his soul was trembling.
“Bai Muxing—”
It was the other’s warm greeting that brought Bai Muxing back to his senses.
Bai Muxing snapped out of it all at once, the crowd still bustling and conversing, while the person opposite him shone brightly in the sunlight like a walking luminescence.
The momentary delay felt like a kind of hysteria or illusion, so quick that Bai Muxing couldn’t recall the specific feelings when he tried to remember.
He could only vaguely grasp at the tail of an emotion, feeling a sense of elusive loss.
Bai Muxing hesitated, nodding slightly. His heart was racing, and he still hadn’t fully recovered from that strange sense of emptiness.
Seeing Bai Muxing’s response, the other person visibly became more excited; even though there were still several meters between them, he continued to call out to him in a stack of voices.
His voice grew louder and louder: “Muxing! Muxing!”
Bai Muxing: “…”

His attention shifted to the silver-haired man opposite him.
He noticed that the sinister aura was only present when the man’s face was expressionless.
When he saw Bai Muxing, the corners of the silver-haired man’s mouth had already stretched into a joyful grin, revealing a set of standard eight teeth, forming a big smile towards Bai Muxing.
The smile was just too radiant, dispelling the gloomy atmosphere like a receding tide, replaced by a silly excitement.
Although the situation was a bit embarrassing, Bai Muxing’s heartbeat slowed down.
Vaguely, he thought: …This is more like it.
That kind of enthusiasm, so bright and silly, like that of a primary school student, couldn’t be stopped even across the internet.
This was the Black Emperor he was familiar with.
With the crisis averted, Bai Muxing breathed a sigh of relief and made a quiet gesture toward the other party.
Their eyes met smoothly, and despite the crowd separating them, the other party may or may not have understood, but at least he didn’t continue shouting his name.
However, it wasn’t exactly graceful either; he stayed in place, jumped twice, and raised his arms high, waving at Bai Muxing.
To be honest, the gesture was a bit silly.
Bai Muxing glanced around and thought, thankfully that most people were busy with their own affairs and didn’t pay much attention, so it wasn’t too embarrassing.
After jumping twice, the other party seemed to realize that it didn’t make much sense to keep flapping in place and started briskly walking through the crowd while pulling the suitcase.
At first, he walked quickly, but in the last few meters, he started running, pulling the suitcase so hard it almost flew, trailing behind them like a little tail.
Like a silver wolfdog catching sight of a bone.
It came bounding toward Bai Muxing, wagging its tail.
The Black Emperor—
Oh, wait, he couldn’t call him the Black Emperor anymore. After agreeing to meet, Bai Muxing and the other person exchanged their real names.
The person with the overly edgy username surprisingly had a very serious and nice-sounding name—
Yin Yeyou.
When Bai Muxing saw this name, he was taken aback.
He thought that this name was quite serious. It was quite different from the image the person portrayed online.
And coincidentally, the meaning of this name corresponds quite well with Bai Muxing’s.
Someone who didn’t know might think they were intentionally matched.
However, since the two of them didn’t know each other before, it was just a simple coincidence.
Yin Yeyou. quickly pulled the suitcase and arrived in front of Bai Muxing. He was in a hurry, causing a gust of wind to blow, hitting Bai Muxing’s face.
“Hello, hello.”
He swooped to a stop in front of Bai Muxing, with only a distance of less than ten centimeters separating them, warmly greeting Bai Muxing.
Bai Muxing looked at him, and that feeling of something being off subtly resurfaced. His stature was really—too big!
Bai Muxing’s height among betas was not low; he was 1.85 meters tall, similar to many alphas. Yin Yeyou claimed to be 1.9 meters tall, but Bai Muxing felt he was understating it. This big guy looked close to two meters tall, and Bai Muxing had to tilt his head slightly to meet his gaze.
Moreover, he had a sturdy build, with such broad shoulders that the light autumn clothes couldn’t hide the contours of his muscles, which were vaguely visible.
With Bai Muxing’s experience in the military for a few years, although it didn’t look that exaggerated, he was definitely all tough sinewy muscle, perhaps capable of breaking C-class mechs barehanded, which would be extremely difficult to deal with.
Bai Muxing always disliked this kind of opponent.
With such a presence suddenly appearing in front of Bai Muxing, even though he didn’t look very intelligent or friendly, wagging his tail, he still had a strong presence.
Bai Muxing took two steps back and pursed his lips. “Hello.”
Yin Yeyou immediately stuck to him like a dog with an automatic navigation system, trying to get closer.
Bai Muxing stepped back two more steps.
This was repeated three times.
Yin Yeyou: “…”
He finally realized that Bai Muxing was intentionally avoiding him, and he froze for a moment, not daring to move rashly.
Standing there as a tall figure, he looked at Bai Muxing with a mixture of frustration and confusion and then glanced at himself, his expression transitioning from perplexity to understanding.
He seemed to have found the reason and sincerely apologized to Bai Muxing, “I’m sorry, I’m too tall.”
Bai Muxing: “Uh, it’s not—”
He didn’t intend to blame him; after all, height was not something one could change. Mainly, he just wasn’t used to being so close to people.
But before Bai Muxing could finish his sentence, Yin Yeyou quickly found a solution. He loosened his grip on the luggage and squatted down on the spot, dropping from a height that towered over Bai Muxing to a level where his gaze met Bai Muxing’s waist.
Bai Muxing looked down in surprise, meeting the man’s lifted gaze. The silver eyes sparkled with brightness, reflecting Bai Muxing’s figure, and he could see his own face clearly in them.
In fact, Yin Yeyou’s unique appearance, with silver hair and silver eyes, made him resemble a humanoid star that emitted its own light.
—If not for anything else, this appearance made Bai Muxing find him quite pleasing to the eye.
He had always been fond of silver-colored things resembling stars since childhood, and this appearance could be said to perfectly align with Bai Muxing’s few aesthetic preferences.
The tall man with silver hair and silver eyes curled up like a stray dog that had wandered for a long time and finally found its owner, afraid of being kicked out of the house. He tried to show that he could become smaller and wouldn’t eat much.
With both hands neatly placed on his knees, he looked up at Bai Muxing with eyes shining like stars.
He greeted Bai Muxing again, “Hello, Muxing, nice to meet you.”
Ah, this is too silly! Bai Muxing thought.
But, it’s kind of cute.
Silly husky
