Bai Wei looked at the profile and felt that something wasn't right so he looked through the backstory and deciphered the problem. Having a deeper grasp of Hu Xing's character he immediately formed a plan of action.

...

Dai Chengming was walking with Bai Wei around the greenhouse when Bai Wei stopped completely and stared at someone out in the field. Dai Chengming was confused for a moment and looked at Bai Wei who now had stars in his eyes before looking out into the group. The one who Bai Wei was staring at was Hu Xing. His mentor and good friend as well as comrade in the battlefield. He sensed a bad foreboding and was about to distract Bai Wei to the best of his abilities and get him away from Hu Xing, but his plans came to not as Bai Wei ran up to Hu Xing, his eyes shifting from excitement to adoration. Bai Wei raised himself up and down on his metal limbs a few times in excitement and asked with baited breath "Are you Hu Xing from 'The Midnight Shines'?"

Everyone was immediately taken aback by this question. Bai Wei hadn't even recognized Dai Chengming, the leader of the base when they first met. But, Bai Wei not only knew Hu Xing's name ,but also knew of a show that he had starred in. Dai Chengming felt his eyebrow twitch as he thought further into the matter. The show the midnight shines was a period drama centered around romance novels in ancient china. The director of this show was a stickler for correct historical facts and even made the cast speak in traditional Chinese dialect. As such the viewers had a hard time understanding the actors and the show did poorly as a result. This show now served as a stain on Hu Xing's otherwise perfect acting career, but now it did make sense why Bai Wei had talked in a traditional Chinese accent until now. The accent had faded away quickly as the two toured the base but a slight hint of it remained in Bai Wei's speech patterns. It seemed Bai Wei had learned the language simply from the show.

Bai Wei who was simply talking in a funny accent: let's go with that :)

While Bai Wei's excitement boiled over, Hu Xing was greatly taken aback. This type of reaction had been common place before the doomsday, but as the months went by his presence had slowly faded into the background. Today it was rare for someone to notice him, even the previous most hard core fans would at most smile at him a bit more. After all, in the end of days there was nothing like cold hard mortality to ground people and end their fascinations. But here Bai Wei was.

Judging by Bai Wei's appearance and the fact that Dai Chengming was showing the little one around, Hu Xing figured that Bai Wei was most likely a child of an important figure that came to tour the base. Bai Wei's reaction only further proved his conjecture. It would be beneficial to him to get on this young one's good side.

Hu Xing stretched out his palm to pat Bai Wei's head and said "Hi, you must have been a fan of mine. It's nice to meet you...?"

"Bai Wei! My name is Bai Wei!!"

"... Bai Wei. You have a very suitable name."

At this Bai Wei's smile grew even wider and he rocked back and forth on his metallic arms. Hu Xing then took notice of the large limbs and looked at Dai Chenming for answers. He had expected that Bai Wei was a scientist or a little genius at best, but nothing could have prepared him for Dai Chengming's answer.

"This is Bai Wei, the leader of the alien race"

Hu Xing looked back at Bai Wei in surprise but had no time to react before Bai Wei grabbed his hand and said to Dai Chengming "Okay, I've found what I was looking for! I will take my partner back with me to my ship, there's no need to continue the tour."

Bai Wei tried to drag Hi Xing with him but found that he couldn't move the man a single inch. He had a slightly annoyed look on his face for a second and looked at Bai Wei who was still in shock at the whole situation.

"Partner? What do you mean?"

Bai Wei stopped and explained with a patience that he had not shown anywhere else "Partner... kind of like... what's the word you humans use... a husband!"

Hu Xing got his answer and started digesting all of this information. Bai Wei made another move to pull Hu Xing along with him and became extremely annoyed when his actions failed again. He wrapped his metal limb around Hu Xing and picked the other up into the air. He then started to leisurely walk out of the base with Hu Xing in his grasps. Hu Xing subconsciously started to retaliate and shot scalding water at the arm until it started to melt. The limbs grew weak and slammed into the ground freeing Hu Xing with a thud.

Dai Chengming quickly helped Hu Xing up from the ground and prepared to defend against any of Bai Wei's attacks.

"You can't just take Hu Xing! He's a beloved member of our base!" Dai Chengming yelled.

Bai Wei looked at the weakened limb on the ground in deep thought for a moment. A plethora of emotions flashed in his eyes. There was sadness, then confusion, then annoyance. Finally, Bai Wei looked back up at them with a fiery look and stated "Let's see about that!"

Bai Wei snapped his fingers and the blue ship appeared at the entrance of the greenhouse. Bai Wei quickly walked onto the ship and gave a triumphant smile at the two as the door closed. After Bai Wei was gone, the two shared a sigh of relief when a loud blaring sound came from outside. At this sound, all electronic things within the base flashed with a bright light and a set of words appeared on them.
