Forced to live as "worms"

The intelligent races with a similarity of more than 50% in appearance usually do not differ too much in their aesthetic concepts. The high-level Zerg and the Herders just fall into this "not far apart" category.

What's more, Yuechen has an excellent skin that is very attractive no matter which race's aesthetic point of view.

A good skin that can make others admire secretly at the first glance can play a miraculous effect in many cases.

"Hello." Yue Chen stood in front of He Jing's family members, showing a smile that could be called a "standard template".

A smile that is too regular may appear a bit rigid on the face of others, losing the vitality and affinity that a smile should have.But this one on Yuechen's face is different, even though his smile is so standard that you can use an angle ruler to draw the curve of the corners of the lips on both sides, but the eyes he looks at the object in front of him are calm and gentle, revealing a kind of charm without any charm Meaning of affinity.

Those eyes that seemed to be filled with shattered light all the time made Yue Chen's smile "live" quickly.

He Jing could tell at a glance that his little Xing Xing took care of him specially today.

Yuechen deliberately restrained his usual casualness, making him look like a more reliable scientific research elite.

This prudent and majestic elite demeanor coupled with Yuechen's handsome face successfully made the adults stunned. For a while, they couldn't compare the object in front of them with the guy who blatantly left a message "Your dearest little star" just now Taken together, the two seem to be too much of a contrast.

Among all He Jing's houseworms, only He Lun was not deceived by Yue Chen's elite style.

As the No.1 person in the family who had had close contact with Yuechen, Helun clearly remembered the appearance of the other party lying on his younger brother's bed when they first met, and also remembered what the other party said at that time.Recalling Yuechen's "declaration of undressing" at the beginning, and looking at the other party's serious face at the moment, Helun held a flat and paralyzed face, "..."

He conveyed his complex emotions into his eyes.

Keenly aware that there seemed to be another person who hadn't been "bluffed" by him, after Yuechen figured out who that complex gaze came from, he still maintained an "elite look" on his face quietly, but he sweated quietly in his heart .

Fortunately, regardless of Helun's subjective feelings towards Yue Chen, he firmly supports all his younger brother's decisions. As long as the other party is He Jing's choice, he must have the unique advantages of the other party.

Helun did not expose Yuechen's truth in front of the whole family, which made Yuechen heave a sigh of relief.

Compared with the adults who paid more attention to Yue Chen's character, Hexi, the only minor in the family, expressed a wholehearted welcome to Yue Chen's arrival.

Hexi greeted Yue Chen with enthusiasm that most young females of the same age did not possess, "Uncle!"

Yuechen's "elite smile" finally froze for a moment, he patted the head of the little female who trotted forward, "It's not uncle, it's brother."

Congenital deficiencies and lack of later education made Hersey's learning ability slower than other peers. His first impression of Yuechen was "uncle", even though Yuechen repeatedly emphasized to him that he had to be called "uncle" many times later. Brother", but because Yuechen always likes to add "not uncle" before "is brother", as time goes by, the title "uncle" has a deeper impression on Hexi.

He Xi accepted Yue Chen's pat on the head, and said obediently, "Good uncle."

Yue Chen, "..."

He sighed helplessly.

Hexi's "Uncle" reminded Ku Lan of the little female worm who heard Yue Chen's voice in He Jing's room.

When He Jing confessed to his family that he did have a relationship with Yue Chen, Ku Lan first asked why he and Yue Chen got acquainted. He Jing kept the secret of going back in time. He only told the female father that he and Yue Chen Chen met because of an accidental space experiment.Intuitively, the cub seemed to keep some information about him, but after hesitating for a moment, Ku Lan chose not to continue asking.

How normal is it for a child to grow up and have a secret of his own?

Ku Lan let go of his little question, his thoughts coincided with Heron's - as long as He Jing likes it.

Of course, Ku Lan and Heron are not the only ones who hold this idea among the whole family.

Leaving aside Ku Lan, who is He Jing's biological female father, other "elders" who are worried about Yue Chen, according to the law, they are now He Jing's property, and they are He Jing's legal "living property".In the high-level Zerg family, there has never been a precedent where "property" can interfere with the behavior of the owner.

Although He Jing, who has been wandering outside the planet for decades and whose thinking has long been infiltrated by alien culture, thinks that it is very normal to bring Yuechen home for the whole family to see, but he is willing to let the whole family participate in the "consideration" The decision fell into the eyes of his houseworms, and it was considered another tolerant and preferential treatment from him.

In order to repay the male worm's kindness, the whole family worms carefully evaluated Yue Chen based on the principle of "supporting He Jing's final decision".

Bearing the pressure of being surrounded by many paralyzed faces at the same time, Yue Chen remained calm, and he followed Ku Lan's invitation to enter the main hall of the main house.

He Jing walked side by side with Yue Chen when he entered the main house, he shook Yue Chen's hand, and Yue Chen smiled back at him.

When the evaluation of Yue Chen was going on, in another residential area opposite to He Jing's residential area, Lai Yan was standing on the large terrace connected to his room, and he checked the latest received information on the terminal. news.

It was a dynamic monitoring report.

This report is mainly composed of several surveillance video clips. Lai Yan watched the above video data segment by segment. After a medium-sized aircraft appeared in the screen, his eyes fell on the aircraft.

The aircraft stopped steadily in front of He Jing's house.

He recorded the voyage number of the aircraft and was about to send it to his subordinates to ask them to check the identity of the owner of the aircraft. However, one second before the message was sent, Lai Yan canceled the sending of the message. He saw the pilot on the aircraft The flight attendant came out of the cabin, and the other party had a face he was not unfamiliar with.

The cooperative projects between the Homeless Research Group and the higher Zerg are mainly in the field of science and medical treatment, and there is no formal cooperation with the military. Lai Yan has little contact with this group of alien researchers, but this does not mean that he knows nothing about them.

What's more, it was the leader of the research team who appeared in the video data.

Excellent appearance, outstanding talent, enthusiasm and heartiness that is praised by insects, and...

Lai Yan paused the screen on a relatively clear front of Yue Chen, he zoomed in on the surveillance video in his hand, and stared at the other's face for a moment.

...and the inexplicable rumored relationship with He Jing.

Lai Yan contemplated the video for a moment, then turned off the terminal and called Lai Lei.

Unlike Lai Yan Hejing, who abides by the principle of getting up early, Lai Lei is a real enjoyment party. With Lai Yan, an almost omnipotent elder brother, in front of him, he is at ease sitting behind Lai Yan, being a bird that doesn't care about the family. affairs, and I never thought about being a happy bug who wanted to seize the family rights.When he received his brother's call, Lailei hadn't gotten out of bed yet. He stayed up late last night to play a new popular interstellar game. If he hadn't heard that Lai Yan was looking for him, he planned to sleep until he was hungry before crawling. stand up.

"Brother, are you looking for me?" Larry came to the terrace with a bird's nest head on his head.

When he came to the terrace, the wind just picked up, and the wide terrace opened its chest to the gust of wind, and Larry watched as his younger brother stepped out of the magnetic control door, and the "bird's nest" above his head began to be blown by the wind. Natural hairdressers change up the look.When Lai Lei walked slowly to Lai Yan, the bird's nest above his head had almost changed its shape three times.

Lailei, who just woke up, was still a little sleepy. He threw himself on the small sofa on the terrace, but he felt something wrong with his brother's eyes.

Lai Lei is used to laziness in front of Lai Yan, as long as he doesn't do anything that violates Lai Yan's principles, Lai Yan will turn a blind eye to him.

Larry has always regarded this as a symbol of brotherly love. He feels that no matter how strict his brother is with other males, he will always lower his standards when facing him.

But today is a little different.

Although Lai Yan didn't directly condemn his brother's lazy behavior, Lai Lei noticed his brother's gaze.

——That was not the helpless and tolerant gaze he was familiar with.

From the moment Lai Lei appeared at the magnetically controlled door, Lai Yan's eyes fell on his younger brother. There were some complexities and scrutiny in his eyes, and there were some things that Lai Lei didn't quite understand, but felt a little flustered. .

"Brother." Lai Lei sat up straight, "What's wrong with you?"

"...It's nothing." Lai Yan restrained his gaze as if he realized that he had revealed too much emotion in front of his younger brother.

Lai Lei frowned at the answer, but before he could ask any more, Lai Yan changed the subject.

Lai Yan mentioned to his younger brother that he called the other party over, "Do you know Yue Chen?"

"The leader of the foreign race who has both talent and appearance?" Lai Lei was taken aback, apparently he did not expect Lai Yan to inquire about this character.

Seeing that the feeling of depression just now had been eliminated, and his elder brother had returned to the familiar elder brother, Lailei couldn't help but jump out of his mind as usual, and he quickly analyzed in his mind why Lai Yan would inquire about Yue Chen.

Combined with his elder brother's performance that he never showed much attention to the female of his clan, the first thing that Laili thought of was—couldn't it be that his elder brother who seemed to be alone for the rest of his life finally had an eye-catching object? !

Lai Lei stabilized his expression and let himself ask casually, "Brother, are you interested in him?"

Lai Yan replied very seriously, "Yes."

Larry's heart immediately said, "!"

Thinking of the inexplicable relationship between the head of Yue Chen and He Jing, after a moment of entanglement, Lai Lei turned to He Jing, "Brother, I think, you should find someone else you are interested in. It's better." He persuaded sincerely, "After all, I met you first."

Lai Yan quickly realized his younger brother's misunderstanding. Even though he was busy with a lot of serious affairs in his heart, he couldn't laugh or cry because of this bizarre misunderstanding, "What do you think I'm interested in?"

After all, he is a real brother. After hearing Lai Yan's words, Lai Lei realized that his analysis result was wrong. He obediently bowed his head and let his elder brother correct his thoughts, and waited for the truly correct answer.

Knowing that his younger brother is a "He Jingtong", the other party knows all the information that his own intelligence network may not be able to find out, so Lai Yan specially called Lai Lei to ask the other party about the relationship between He Jing and Yue Chen how many things.

No, after getting the correct answer, Lailei still stared at his elder brother for a while, "...Brother." Lailei's voice was full of hesitation, "So, the person you are interested in is actually He Jing?"

Lai Yan, "..."

In a sense, Larry's statement is also true.

The object of Lai Yan's interest is indeed He Jing, but the direction of interest is slightly different from what Lai Lei imagined.

"Although neither of them has disclosed who the mysterious person they like is yet, I think it is very likely that they are mutual admirers mentioned in the topic discussion on the public Internet." The friend didn't have bad intentions, so Lai Lei was relieved and talked about his views on the relationship between He Jing and Yue Chen, "At first glance, these two people seem to have no intersection, and the number of times they appear in public at the same time is very rare. , but the operational technical information submitted by He Jing to the college was directly from within Wuxiang, and the first operation cooperation between the Wuxiang Research Group and the Imperial Central Hospital was also proposed by Yuechen to intervene in the operation of Hejing's worm, and And the most important point, it is said that the head of the Yuechen group started asking around a few days ago what gifts to bring for the first visit. A researcher in the base asked him if he was going to visit Xinshang Chong's house. Guess what he answered What? He confirmed it!"

After finishing the long list in one breath, Lailei felt his mouth was a little dry. Just when he was about to find something to moisten his throat, a glass of water was handed to him.

The cup containing water was held in Lai Yan's hand.

"Thank you brother." After taking the glass of water and drinking it, Laili continued, "So, as long as he can confirm that he has indeed visited He Jing's family, he can be [-]% sure that there is indeed a romantic relationship between them. "

Young Master Lai, who was woken up after sleeping until just now, did not know that Yue Chen had indeed visited He Jing's home.

Aware of his younger brother's lack of information on this point, Lai Yan was not prepared to remind the other party. He knew how much his younger brother admired He Jing, or how much he admired He Jing's face. His spying on He Jing was not convenient for Lai Yan. Ray made it public.

"I see." Patting Lai Lei on the shoulder, Lai Yan signaled that his inquiry was over.

Lailei accepted his brother's slap calmly, holding the cup, "I didn't expect you to be interested in the gossip about the two of them."

"After all, it is a marriage with a different race."

Larry had no doubts about his brother's answer, so he nodded his head, "Yes."

The cases of marrying with different races are rare, among them, the cases of excellent males actively marrying with different races are even rarer. Considering the rarity of such events, and the fact that the elder brother is optimistic about He Jing's promotion, he will be interested in this matter. no problem.

Realizing from Lai Yan's tone and demeanor that he could be "liberated", Lai Lei stretched his waist. He instinctively sat up straight when he was shocked by his brother's eyes just now, and finally sat upright until Now.

When Lai Lei was moving his body and was about to continue to collapse back to the big bed for a sleep, he heard Lai Yan calling out to him from behind.

Since Larry had walked quite a distance, when he turned around, the wind was blowing on the terrace again, and the wind blowing wantonly across the terrace lifted his brother's hair and the bruise on his forehead. hair.From the line of sight and face covered by the hair, Lai Lei vaguely noticed that his brother seemed to have the same eyes as when he first came.

"Brother?" Lai Lei called Lai Yan.

Lai Yan looked at his younger brother who was about to grow up in a year from that distance and the wind, and he said after a moment of silence, "After the intermediate combat training in this interval holiday is over, you will start to learn how to deal with it with me." Housework."

"...Brother?" The wind that was blowing was obviously not cold, but Lailei felt a bit of coolness inexplicably. He felt the tip of his nose being scratched by the hair and itched slightly, so he couldn't help but sneezed.

When Lai Lei rubbed his nose and raised his head again, he found that Lai Yan had already walked in front of him.Worried that his younger brother, who just took off a single shirt and ran out on the terrace, would catch a cold, Lai Yan temporarily pulled himself out of his affairs, and pushed Lai Lei back indoors.

The wind outside has stopped, and his brother's concern is still the same as usual. Lai Lei felt the warmth of the hand on his shoulder, as if the strange feeling just now was just an illusion brought by the wind.

And is that really an illusion?

Larry lowered his eyes, hiding doubts in his eyes.

About twenty minutes later, Lei Lei returned to his room and sent a message to He Jing.

When hearing the vibration of new news from the terminal, the "assessment" in the He family's living room has almost come to an end.

Leaving aside his alien status, Yuechen was indeed very good. He maintained his calm appearance under the scrutinizing eyes of Qi Shuang, and answered every question Ku Lan asked politely.

If it wasn't for the problem of reproduction in front of him, Ku Lan almost felt that Yue Chen was the most suitable partner for He Jing.

almost.

Yue Chen didn't reveal his real age, but just falsely reported a false age that was slightly older than He Jing's. Ku Lan thought that this age difference was just right.

They are older than their own cubs, and they should be better at caring for insects in daily life, Ku Lan thought so, and looked at Yue Chen with more satisfaction.

"Unfortunately, the reproductive rate of intermarriage between our family and other races is extremely low." Thinking of the fact that her excellent cubs might not be able to have offspring with the other party, the sub-female sighed, with a look of worry on her brows.

No, Yuechen smiled slightly, "You don't have to worry about that."

The reproductive material of the Herder family, which was originally intended to be used as a "killer mace", has degenerated from a "killer mace" to a "heart booster".

Yuechen opened the information he had brought, and let the stereoscopic optical projection float above the coffee table to play. He explained to He Jing's houseworms the special way of reproduction of his own race.

"Except for the special reproduction method that is different from other races, when our family is preparing to conceive the next generation, there is no restriction that the incubator can only give birth to a limited number of cubs at a time."

Ku Lan's eyes were completely attracted by the unheard-of reproduction method. Hearing Yue Chen's words, he was still in a daze for a while, and his thinking could not keep up with the speed of receiving information.

Seeing that the Ya female did not speak for a long time, Mu Qiu, the oldest adult among the adults, took over the conversation. He asked Yue Chen to explain why he was not restricted.

Yuechen replied, "As long as the parents have enough ability, if there are still spare branches on the tree of life, they can inject the energy of the same source on multiple branches at the same time, and these branches that have inherited the energy of the parents will germinate at the same time."

Then you only need to wait until the fruit of life matures, and you can get multiple cute young at one time.

He Jing sat beside Yuechen during Yuechen's narration. He observed the unpredictable expressions of the houseworms, and couldn't help wondering if he was so shocked when he first heard the news.

After being stunned for a long time, Ku Lan managed to find his voice, "In that case..."

Yafe's voice hesitated, and he remembered the total number of members of the Homeless Research Group.

Yuechen guessed the question that Ku Lan hesitated to say, "You want to ask me why our family has such a convenient way of reproduction, but the number of members is not huge, right?"

Ku Lan nodded, "Yes."

"It's because of the difference in the way our marriages are formed."

The way of concluding a marriage that shares the original energy determines that the link of the Herder family is for life. As the name suggests, a life-long link can only be linked with the same person for a lifetime, and this link cannot be revoked and cannot be damaged. In later life, I repented and found that the two parties were not suitable for being together for a long time, and could no longer re-establish a link with another object.

Therefore, every Herder nation is very cautious when choosing their life partner. They never establish a connection easily, and even refuse to establish a connection for tens of hundreds of years in order to prevent themselves from being mistaken.

It is worth mentioning that combining with one's own chosen partner is the last step in establishing a successful link.Due to this restriction, all Herder people who are away from home, no matter what kind of career they decide to engage in, or how famous they are in the universe they live in, even if they choose to become heinous, the labels above their heads are all There must be one - [Never have sex easily].

There were also crew members on the No Country who went to certain erotic trading areas to "see the world", but they really only went to see the world, only to admire the luxurious atmosphere before leaving, and never stayed overnight.

"Since I am the only one in the whole group who has decided on a lifelong partner, even if the other members already have a favorite goal, they still need to spend a little more time to investigate how the two parties are compatible." Yue Chen's smile was full of foreseeing "spring The joy of planting an autumn harvest", he held He Jing's hand beside him, "We have an entire idle tree of life."

He Jing, "..."

Imagining the juveniles popping out of the fruit directly, I still can't imagine it. The bugs sitting opposite the sofa tried to replace the fruit with adult eggs. They imagined a whole tree full of insect eggs at the same time, and gave birth to cubs in batches. scene.

The rest of the insects in the living room, "..."

In the end, it was the lunch that interrupted the wonderful atmosphere in the living room. While the houseworms were mobilizing to prepare for the lunch, He Jing took Yue Chen around the house.

After entering the former punishment room that had been converted into a training room by He Jing, Yuechen looked around and asked, "Is there no surveillance here?"

"It used to be, but I removed it later." Yue Chen replied casually, and suddenly realized something was wrong.

When he was just looking around in the house, every time Yuechen went to a new place, it was convenient for him to look around. At that time, He Jing only thought that the other party was observing the surrounding environment, but now he realized that Yuechen was probably checking for surveillance cameras.

He Jing looked at Yuechen, and found that Yuechen's expression was serious.

"what happened?"

"It could also be just an illusion."

Yuechen frowned slightly, "The moment I got off the aircraft, I felt someone watching. Have you checked the camera at home recently?"
