Everyone I kiss falls in love with me [Interstellar]

Long Jue, the third prince.

Osmanthus Yu couldn't understand that for many aliens, most of their races still retain a hierarchical system. Although ordinary civilians are still very open and equal, nobles are still nobles, and the royal family is still the royal family. There is a clear line between them.

This Long Jue is the third son of the Emperor of the Dragon Clan, and also his favorite child.

Long Jue seems to be a childish person, he seems to be flirtatious, he seems to be interested in everyone, but after a few days of contact with Osmanthus Yu, he finds out that this person is actually not interested in anyone. In the human world, he didn't even have a heart, which was more excessive than he used to be, but that's another story.

The dragon race ranks second among the four major races, but in fact it has not been very brilliant these years. There are too many outsiders from the dragon race, and there are also more mixed races, and their overall strength cannot improve. For pleasure, he thought that he still had the strength to destroy a planet by himself tens of thousands of years ago.

Listening to the science popularization given by the little mermaids, Yu Osmanthus said a lot of bad things about Long Jue, he also smiled and didn't care.

But other mermaids didn't think so. They said: "Don't worry about it. If he wants to be your guardian, it will be very difficult. You look like you have no temper. Don't be fooled by that person's rhetoric." Lied to."

Yu osmanthus shook her head and said, "How come?"

"Why not? The dragon clan is obscene. If you want me to say, the Zerg clan is better, then His Majesty the Zerg King is fine. The queen has passed away for so long, and there is no canonization ceremony. It stands to reason that there is no need to do it again. If you marry another one, you will go back. Come on? His Majesty the Insect King doesn't like it, he still likes that human, that's great."

After Long Jue handed the invitation to Osmanthus Yu, he left, as if he didn't want to scare the timid mermaids, so it was time for the mermaids to gossip again.

During the conversation, Osmanthus Yu also recognized everyone. The most talkative mermaid was the married Xilu, and the shy underage was Ivy who had been eaten by her childhood sweetheart and was waiting to get married.

After Xi Lu praised His Majesty the Insect King, she turned the topic back to Long Jue, and said with a smile, "By the way, Xiao Yu, how did you meet him?"

Yu Guixi thought for a while, organized her words, and said, "Just...he fell into the water, and I'll rescue him ashore, that's it."

Xilu stroked her braid and raised her tail with a smile, and said, "He is really bad. The powerful dragon clan has the power of thunder and lightning. Wherever he is, it can rain continuously as long as he wants. He is still afraid of water?"

Yu Guixi didn't expect this, so he thought that Long Jue was choking on water and gave him artificial respiration, and that person was already lying to him at that time?

Seeing Yu Osmanthus pensive, the timid Ivy smiled and said: "Hey, don't be too scared, anyway, he won't do anything to you, as long as you insist on not wanting him to be your guardian, then there is nothing wrong with you." It's worrying, there are many good candidates in the imperial system, and our mermaid males don't like to cheat their partners like they do."

Yu Osmanthus only felt that these mermaids were pampered and thoughtless cuties. They really were a little ignorant of the world. They didn't think too much about anything and said whatever they wanted, so he directly asked, "I can choose other things. Race people as guardians?"

"What's wrong with that?" said an older mermaid, "What era is it now? It's just that the person must have a cub care qualification certificate. Not everyone can be a guardian, and an exam is required. Of course, good males are not afraid of this kind of test."

This kind of certificate is similar to the parental qualification certificate proposed by Earth back then. Yu Osmanthus thought it was very interesting, but this certificate was not successfully implemented back then, because people who did not have the qualification certificate should be born or not, and they can't control it, and they can't be forced to abort.

"By the way, after talking for so long, Xiao Yu, do you still want to go with him to the main star of the Zerg?"

When asked, Osmanthus Yu said, "Why don't you go? Don't you just need to apply for an identity bracelet and have an adult by your side?"

Saying that, Yu Osmanthus propped her elbows on the armrest, her palms resting on her small pointed chin, she tilted her head and said with a smile, "I also want to see how the insect king canonized his late queen. Good luck." , maybe even the queen herself.”

"Haha, you can't see it." Xilu said, "The queen was wiped out in that battle, and there was no bones left. Even the insect king was seriously injured, and I couldn't see it when I went, but I can see you." It’s good to see the Insect King.” Xi Lu blushed and looked admiring, “He is the idol of many mermaids, and this time I came to Earth to visit the school where he fell in love with the queen.”

Yu osmanthus got a lot from these few words. When the mermaids were resting and sleeping, he was lying on his wheelchair—this wheelchair-like aircraft can be folded into a wheelchair or unfolded into a small bed— Review the events of the past few days.

It’s nothing more than that he saved a little trouble. Little trouble wants to take him to the Zerg Race to participate in the canonization ceremony of the Zerg King, and now he is a mermaid without a registered permanent residence and no ID card. He needs to go to the main star of the mermaid planet in the Blue Morning Galaxy for identification. It is best to find the parents. If you can't find them, you must find the guardian within one month.

Yu Guixi had a strange thought in his heart, which made him unable to rest well.

He thought, his body was made of Fang Yu's ribs, and he might have the same gene in terms of physiology. Maybe when the time comes to identify him, he will be identified as Fang Yu's... Then it will be very strange...

Besides, his decision to go to Zombie Planet was also very hasty. What did he do there?

He was a little at a loss, he just closed his eyes and opened them, so many years have passed on Earth, and a year has passed on Zongxing, and he went to find Fang Yu by himself, what exactly did he want the other party to treat him?

Another problem is that Osmanthus Yu has not yet figured out who the personality is now occupying the main body.

He still remembered the second before he fell into the darkness, and heard Fang Yu's sad words saying that he didn't want anything anymore, so now it's his brother who pretends to be Fang Yu's insect king?

Osmanthus Yu felt that it was not right to say that. After all, those people were one body. They grew up from a certain part of Fang Yu, and their souls were formed from fragments of emotion, character and energy core in a certain memory. After all, It's like a person has nine personalities separated, the personalities are fighting each other, they all want to have a body, and the final outcome is a duel between two heavyweights, Yu You and Fang Yu.

In the duel, Fang Yu gave up the qualification, so Yu You won...?

Thinking of this, Osmanthus Yu covered her head with the quilt, suddenly her heart felt empty, as if there was no future, and she couldn't see the light...

He thought he was really contradictory, he hoped that his brother would exist forever, and at the same time he hoped that Fang Yu could live well, is this possible?

impossible……

Finally, how would I explain my current appearance as a mermaid if I saw the insect king?

The other party will definitely recognize it as a mermaid developed from his ribs. After all, he has seen it before, but he had no soul at the beginning, but now he is alive again. However, according to his brother's temperament, he may not care about it at all, because he is not interested. .

The white-haired mermaid thought about a lot of things in bed, wondering if he should tell the insect king that he was Osmanthus osmanthus?After thinking about telling it, it will be a mess again, and there must be another bunch of things after that.

So... let it be.

Osmanthus Yu looked at her hands. There were no cocoons in these hands. He still had a silver tail. This was his new life. After bidding farewell to his past self this time, he left the worm star, the worm king and his spirit. Guys, forget about living a good life in the mermaid clan.

Of course, Osmanthus Yu did not forget what she said before she died, that she would be with Fang Yu in the next life, but the problem is that her brother should be the main character now, and the relationship between him and his brother has everything, but no love. If the other party wants it, he can't give it, so let's forget it...

Let them let each other go, so maybe they can live a happier life.

The white-haired mermaid whose tail radiated gentle light like moonlight at night turned over and slowly fell asleep when she decided to make a clean break with the past.

In his dream, he saw all the fragments of his ex-boyfriend, saw that person's extreme love for him hidden in silence, and saw that person wanted to control his life, his circle of friends, and his life and even his body. Paranoid, seeing that person's occasional fear and fear of losing, that's why he has so many different personalities.

Osmanthus Yu doesn't like to be controlled, but if this person is Fang Yu who subtly influences him for fear of wronging him, he will accept it very well.

He didn't like being pushed behind, but if this person was Fang Yu, he would be willing, although the result was not good.

He doesn't like to cry for anyone, but when this person is for Fang Yu who can give up his own existence, he also shed tears in his heart...

Emotions are really troublesome and terrifying things, Yu Guixi thought, for the rest of his life as a mermaid, he doesn't want any emotions anymore. Firstly, he will lose his mind, and secondly...he is a fucking creature that can lay eggs Don't expect him to let someone poke into his unknown organ!

Speaking of which, Osmanthus Yu herself has not checked the difference between her lower body and human structure.

When talking to the little mermaids, no one mentioned the genitals.

So, when Osmanthus Yu disembarked from the spaceship, surrounded by a group of people who treated him like a cub, asked him how he was, and praised him for being beautiful and cute. up...

Serena teased him with a small dried fish, and said: "Be obedient, just check your little tail a little bit, this auntie touches it lightly, don't be nervous, after the inspection, I will give you the dried fish, okay?" good?"

Osmanthus Yu twitched the corner of her mouth and asked, "How to check?"

Serena is a male mermaid, she coughed in embarrassment, and said, "Auntie the doctor will explain this to you, I'll go out and wait for you." After saying that, Serena also brought Long Jue who didn't plan to leave with her. After leaving, only Osmanthus Yu and three or four female mermaids in white coats stood up with their tails and smiled kindly at Osmanthus Yu.

The mermaid with three small red stars on the shoulder of the white coat said: "Don't worry, just open the two fish scales in front of you to see your small bugs and excretory holes, it's very simple, or you can open it yourself. Let's not touch, okay?"

The parts of the female mermaid are extremely delicate, and the osmanthus yu doesn't look down at all when she goes to the toilet.

Now there is no way to open it completely, he sat in his wheelchair indifferently, not speaking.

The doctor coaxed him for a long time, but in the end he had no choice but to push Osmanthus osmanthus out again, saying: "There is no other way, after that, his guardian will personally examine him and take him to the hospital for a physical examination. It will be much better if there are close people by his side. "

Just as Serena was about to say something, Long Jue at the side said, "I also think it's good, just do a routine checkup."

Serena was speechless, slandering this person as if this little cutie would belong to him in the future.

Yu osmanthus was also speechless, and said, "What are you doing now?"

"Blood," said the accompanying doctor.

The purpose of drawing blood is to determine whether there are relatives. If there are relatives, they can be called over immediately to see if the little mermaid was discarded maliciously. However, such things usually do not happen. Mermaid babies are precious. If you want to die, if you have it, you want to hold it in the palm of your hand, or stuff it back in your stomach. If you don’t have it, you want to steal it from other people’s homes. Therefore, everyone agrees that the parents of Osmanthus osmanthus Yu are homeless travelers who died during the trip. That's why Xiao Yu was left to live on Earth alone.

Everyone was worried about causing Xiaoyu's lost memory, and worried that Xiaoyu would be taken away by bad guys. They surrounded dozens of males to protect him along the way. This situation did not disappear until after the inspection and Long Jue boarded his spaceship. .

Serena also wanted to go with Yu Osmanthus, but Yu Osmanthus refused to let her go, saying that the queen would come back as soon as the canonization ceremony of the queen was over, and if she couldn't come back, she would go directly to Long Jue. People with names and surnames cannot escape.

Long Jue also made a promise that he would send Osmanthus osmanthus back to the main planet of Mermaid Planet after the banquet was over.

Yu Osmanthus doesn't want Serena to follow him because he doesn't like to be controlled by others. Relatives can, but outsiders can't. Besides, he has a lot of secrets, which are things that are best not to be discovered. It's not wrong for Serena to follow him all the time. something.

Long Jue is different, this person is so foolish, Long Jue likes him, but he doesn't really want him, it's a novelty, so the more indifferent and rude you are to him, the more he will be used.

Yu Osmanthus sees this clearly, so she has nothing to fear.

Before the spaceship took off, Osmanthus Yu got his bracelet. It was a milky pink bracelet inlaid with a few small pearls. If everything is normal, you can enter.

His identity bracelet is done, but there is a problem with the blood test.

According to the test, he is a mixed blood type, and he does not know where he is mixed, so he can only be sent to the universe genetic testing center to compare the genes of all the aliens with identity in the whole universe. This comparison takes a long time , as many as three days, as little as one day, so Yu Osmanthus left with Long Jue before waiting for her bloodline report.

……

"Xiao Yu, look, that's the central city of Zerg Planet, and the biggest castle below is where the Zerg King lives." Sitting on the spaceship, Long Jue propped his head up and looked at Yu Osmanthus fragrans, trying to talk to this quiet Pretty mermaid chat.

The white-haired mermaid has no energy and looks a little nervous. Long Jue became a little mermaid because he had never been here before and was frightened by the savage mental suppression of the Zerg. He said, "What's wrong? Is it a little uncomfortable? Wait When you arrive at the airport in a while, you just need to take a shielding medicine, the Zerg are a bit unfriendly to you mermaids."

This kind of unfriendliness is only reflected in their physical mismatch, and everything else is good, because many Zerg have a stronger desire to protect female mermaids than male mermaids, so Long Jue always feels that he must give the little mermaid first. Yu said that this Zerg is not good.

In case he hadn't made a move yet, and brought people to Bug Star, but a certain stink bug got there first, wouldn't he be very embarrassing?

"Where does the insect king live?" Yu Osmanthus didn't sit in the same cabin alone on Long Jue's spaceship. Gorgeous castle into the clouds.

The palace covers a total area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters. Looking down from the top, it is very spectacular. Yu osmanthus smiled, and always felt a little strange. This kind of spaceship came to Fang Yu's territory by himself, and he could see the scenery that this person had seen before. What the person ate along the way.

"What are you laughing at?" Long Jue kept looking at the little mermaid beside him. As expected, the mermaid still looked like a minor. The tail of the fish was too tender, even if it was covered by the skirt, just looking at the small part of the fish tail made people feel uncomfortable. Want to touch it.

Yu Osmanthus said: "I didn't laugh at anything, I just thought that in such a big castle, could the insect king live alone?"

What he said was very casual. Listening to Long Jue, he always felt that the little mermaid and the worm king knew each other, but he knew it was impossible. The little mermaid was only in her 20s and nearly 30 years old, and the worm king was over 500 years old. , It would be strange to know each other!

"Of course he doesn't live alone." Long Jue explained, "These palaces were built in the past, and now the insect king only lives in the center, and 80.00% of the place is given to nobles and support soldiers, so The neighborhood is full of nobles, you will know when you get off the spaceship, and the insect king is not as gentle as you think, he is a boring and unpredictable freak, you better not get your hopes up."

"How do you know everything?" Yu Osmanthus raised her eyebrows, stopped playing with her fingers with her long hair, and asked, "It seems that you are very familiar with the insect king."

Long Jue said: "Of course, we grew up together when we were young. Later, something happened to his family and we stopped playing together. I continued to go to school, and he went to travel around the world. That's when he knew that human being and made himself It's a mess..." Long Jue talked about the story of the insect king very casually, as if he looked down on the attitude of the insect king.

And what he said next also confirmed Long Jue's attitude towards the current King of Worms: "Anyway, Xiao Yu, don't get too close to him, just look at him from a distance, there is nothing to see."

"Then why did you bring me here?" Yu Osmanthus asked bluntly.

Long Jue replied bluntly, "Repay the favor."

"What kind of repayment is this?" Yu Osmanthus said, "I don't want you to repay your favor either, anyway, you wouldn't drown at that time."

Long Jue smiled, knowing that Osmanthus Yu understood her identity and ability, so she didn't speak, so as not to be annoying, only when she got off the spaceship, she helped to hold the translator attached to Osmanthus Yu's bracelet and put it in her ear, saying : "This, you can understand what they say when you wear it."

The mermaid's ears were pointed, like an elf, with a small shell-shaped earplug plugged in. Sure enough, after getting off the spaceship, he could understand all the conversations of the Zerg.

Before Yu Osmanthus could understand it, it was because he was a human being and his identity belonged to a mermaid. His brain could automatically distinguish between the two languages. The language of the Dragon Clan could not, but when Long Jue talked to him, he always spoke the mermaid language. , naturally you can only wear earplugs, after all, on the Zerg planet, people who don't know you will not accommodate you...

When Osmanthus Yu and Long Jue arrived at the main star of Zerg, it was only one day before the Queen's Conferment Ceremony held by the Zerg King. The busy main road was full of Zergs in different costumes. They were all very tall, generally around two meters Yu osmanthus, a young little fish, suddenly felt the disadvantage of her height.

Then he complained that this is how Hou Wei's height came from...

Speaking of Hou Wei, Yu Osmanthus felt very complicated. There was nothing wrong with it, but it turned out to be such a virtuous person. What a pitiful big man, and there was no bones left in the end...

"Hey, Xiao Yu, look at the global notification above." Although Long Jue is the third prince of the Dragon Clan, he didn't follow his father here. He was quite low-key, and there were no security guards or personal guards, only two or three guards following him. In the back, when Long Jue asked Osmanthus Yu to look up at the advertisement screen of the building, several guards waited quietly behind Xiao Yu and Long Jue, without making a sound.

When Osmanthus Yu looked up, she could see news broadcasting on the entire walls of many high-rise buildings.

The picture in the news is the insect king sitting on the retro furniture with his hands and fingers folded in front of his chest.

The King of Worms has a cold demeanor, a pair of golden pupils casually looking at the camera, his voice is slow, and his aura is strong: "Tomorrow will be the first anniversary of my wife's death, but it is also the posthumous ceremony I prepared for him, and the whole process will be broadcast live at that time, take it seriously .”

In a short sentence, the King of Worms nodded to the cameraman after speaking, ending the notification video.

The person who took the video didn't dare to stay for a long time, and was about to leave in a hurry. Who knew that before he packed it up, he heard that the insect king received a communication from the Interstellar Health Organization Bloodline Center Committee.

The photographer suddenly dawdled, wanting to know what was going on.

The insect king was also very surprised. He stood up, walked to the desk and sat down, clicked on the video communication, and a white-bearded doctor held his breath for a long time, and said to the indifferent insect king:

"Your Majesty the Insect King! Please forgive me for being unreasonable..."

The insect king was stunned for a moment, and said, "Please tell me."

"Okay." The old man over there was very excited and asked, "Your Majesty the Insect King, are you still human?! Your long-lost baby cub has been on the earth for many years, and you don't care about it?"

The insect king frowned and said, "Say clearly."

The old man was almost not pissed off by the indifferent attitude of the worm king, but he still had to be polite, and said: "Just today, we received a test task for the relatives of a mixed-race juvenile fish with amnesia, are you His immediate family, so..."

"Is there a photo of him?" The insect king was unmoved, but a dark light flashed in his golden eyes.

The old man said: "Yes, yes, I will send it to you immediately, Your Majesty the Insect King, I am not talking about you, you must take responsibility! Although I know that you are now giving the first queen a posthumous ceremony, but this person who is living outside You can’t let it go! Otherwise, we will disclose your secret to the public, and then we will appeal to the Cosmic Harmony Organization!”

The worm king listened calmly, and did not respond to the old man's threats, but when he saw the photo sent by the other party, the worm king's vertical pupils suddenly shrank!

In the photo, it is a white-haired mermaid sitting in a mermaid wheelchair. The little mermaid is wearing a light blue loose skirt, a pair of light amber peach blossom eyes revealing a trace of tenderness looking at the camera, a small nose, slightly raised lips, a silver The silvery moonlight glowed on her tail, no matter how she looked at her, she was a grown-up beauty.

Seeing that the insect king stopped talking, the old man showed a gratified smile and said, "Did you recognize it?"

The stern eyebrows and eyes of the insect king were tinged with dull suspicion, and he said: "I recognize it. This is a mermaid made from my ribs. It should be a shell without a soul. It should sleep on the earth forever..."

"What?" The old man finally came to his senses and said, "This is from that war..."

"Yes, he is just a simple body. I thought he died together with the other split bodies." Split bodies usually have no soul, but the Zerg King is special, with an energy core as a guide.

The old man was a little confused when he heard this, and said, "That's weird, why is he alive again?"

A split body is similar to an artificial human, without human rights, because it is mainly used for high-ranking nobles who do not want to die, let them perform body replacement surgery, without a soul, when an old body is about to die, the mind will be transferred to In the new world, hundreds of years ago, the Zerg race was popular for this kind of surgery, but later the side effects were too great, so few people used it anymore, and this surgery was also listed as a forbidden surgery.

In the last war, the King of Zombies illegally used split bodies, and later killed all the split bodies to force fusion, which has been criticized, but because it is a special period, no one pursues this matter.

Fortunately, the tail was not cleaned up at that time, and a little mermaid came out who didn't know what happened, and the old man had no idea.

"But, this is impossible... There is no soul transplant technology now, even if there is, it will be rejected in just a few months and go crazy..."

"Hmm." The insect king's voice was low, as if he was thinking.

"Then... what should we do now? The old doctor feels that he has found a big trouble."

The Insect King asked faintly, "Where is he now?"

"Now I followed Master Long San to your insect star, saying that I was attending your posthumous ceremony." After the old doctor finished speaking, he heard the sound of the insect king's fingers tapping on the table, the voice was inexplicably horrifying , and continued, "Then what... the follow-up content of this matter will be handed over directly to your Majesty, what do you think?"

The insect king nodded and said, "Let's do it this way."

After hearing such an answer, the old doctor immediately hung up the communication video, and quickly wrote the ins and outs of the whole thing into a report and sent it to the public relations and royal management subordinates of the king of insects.

In less than 10 minutes, the King of Worms received a more detailed and accurate report, from where the mermaid was salvaged on Earth, to how he met Long Jue, to his name, personality traits and a few short videos, The King of Worms looked at it no less than a hundred times, and finally loosened his tightly clenched fists and raised his forehead. His black hair covered his eyebrows and eyes, only his tall nose bridge and thin lips hooked into a smile...

"Osmanthus fragrans..." He read the name on the report, "Osmanthus fragrans..." over and over again, making people's ears tingle, revealing endless love...

……

Osmanthus yu didn't know that her files and bloodline certification had all been in the hands of the king of insects.

He really came to Zerg to travel, and he went to the food street with thousands of years of history with Long Jue, and received all kinds of idiots' amazing eyes along the way, and there were people wanting to strike up a conversation wherever he went, but Long Jue was still cold in the end Face, rejected a bunch of people's peer requests.

The fact that the charming little mermaid came to the insect star was secretly photographed by many people and uploaded to the Internet, causing a larger-scale sensation, and many people who could not come to the insect star to see the Little Mermaid said: This year's most beautiful There is no need for a beauty pageant for the little cub, this is the f*cking one.

Unaware that she had just come to Zhexing for a day and had quickly become famous, Osmanthus osmanthus became sleepy after eating a large cup of pudding unique to Zongxing.

Long Jue belongs to the royal family, and naturally he would not live in a hotel outside when he came to Zerg Star. He also has a guest room in the Zerg Palace, which is specially reserved for their Dragon Clan.

So, in a state of extreme sleepiness, Osmanthus fragrans yawned and followed Long Jue into the palace together. After bypassing the huge garden and entering the main hall, she was caught off guard by a standing man in black with dark patterns. Waiting for their bug king on the huge spiral staircase!

Osmanthus Yu really wanted to slander the appearance of the insect king, because this person clearly looks like Fang Yu!It's just that Fang Yu doesn't have such long hair, nor golden eyes.

But this appearance really does not have a handsome taste...

Yu Osmanthus silently compared the appearance of her current brother with that of her former brother in her heart, feeling that he could not call her brother with this face, and gave her current appearance full marks.

But Osmanthus Yu didn't think about admitting relatives either.

He just came to see, to say goodbye.

Long Jue looked up at Fang Yu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and didn't speak. The king standing on the stairs was also very quiet. The insect king slowly walked down from the top, and the footsteps sounded and landed on the ground very crisply. There is also a sense of oppression.

Osmanthus Yu always felt that the brother occupying Fang Yu's body was looking at her, but when he looked into the eyes of the other party, the other party seemed not to see her, which was really weird.

When the Insect King walked up to Long Jue and the white-haired mermaid in the quiet and luxurious hall, he only nodded slightly to Long Jue, and then said to Yu Osmanthus: "I remember the last time I saw you, you were just an empty shell. "

Osmanthus yu was a little terrified by these reptile-like eyes, and blurted out, "I've become a sperm, can't I?"

The insect king suddenly pursed his lips and smiled. This smile had the taste of Yu You in Yu Osmanthus Yu's memory, but it was very complicated.

The insect king said, "Of course, Xiao Yu..."

Being called by this person's nickname, Yu Guixi felt a little bit sour in his heart, because in his fantasy, he and his brother should not meet again in such an occasion, so quiet.

"Hmm... His Majesty the Insect King."

The worm king's golden vertical pupils stared at the tip of the mermaid's flicking tail, and finally looked at the peach blossom eyes of Osmanthus osmanthus Yu, and said, "That's not right."

"What's wrong?"

The Insect King reached out and rubbed Osmanthus Yu's hair, and said, "Call me Dad."
