Bug Star Notes

"Father."

"?"

"My brother is gone again."

"!"

Yan caught the cub who came to report to him, and was dragged by Qi Yu to the side of the sofa together.

The cushion specially prepared for bug eggs in the small single-seater sofa is empty, and the eggs that should have stayed safely on it have disappeared.

"..."

Yan stared at the "Insect Egg Special Seat" which had been purposely built around a circle of barriers to prevent the insect eggs from jumping around, feeling very complicated.

It was just that he went to the kitchen to prepare some drinks and snacks, and the cub went back and forth from the kitchen to the living room to help him a lot. Compared with other newborn bug eggs, the egg that is incredibly high in mobility is no longer known. Where did he go.

again.

The use of the word "again" means that this situation has occurred many times.

Compared with the eggs of other egg-laying creatures, the eggs of the higher Zerg race have a much higher pressure and impact bearing capacity of the shell wall, but it is not without an upper limit.Egg shells are forcibly broken when subjected to impacts and crushes that exceed the capacity of the shell walls.This kind of damage can only lead to the early breaking of the shell of the larvae in it, and it may lead to the direct death of the cub in severe cases.The cubs that break their shells early will be less basic in quality than the cubs that break their shells later, this is because their small bodies are not fully grown in the eggs and are forced to come out early.

Lively and active bug eggs are not uncommon, but those active little ones usually choose to roll around behind their parents, using the cute and safe way of "rolling" to follow their parents' steps.

——But this egg in their family is different.

Relying on the strong egg shell and full of strength, Qi Yi, who is still inside the insect egg, loves to use the "bounce" method of action.

To bounce, it needs to rely on the cub's own strength in the eggshell. The little guy still in the eggshell makes large movements, driving the eggshell that wraps itself to move together.

This unconventional way of action has made the whole family worry a lot. The whole family always has to check the eggshells of the eggs from time to time, for fear that Qi Yi will bounce over his head and hit himself on some sharp edge, causing himself Forcibly break the shell early.

"If he was really too active and knocked himself out of his shell in advance, Yi would probably be able to win the title of 'the first bug in the history of the insect'." Ozzie witnessed the "bounce performance" of the insect egg "Then couldn't help joking, "It's just that the field corresponding to this title is unusual."

Unusual ways of breaking the shell correspond to unusual fields of orientation—it’s not a problem to think so.

But after thinking about it, it’s just a joke, all of them still hope that the male worm can grow well inside the egg shell, follow the most common development process, grow enough and then break the shell on its own.

All places in the main house that can be carpeted have been covered with double thick carpets to reduce the impact of some insect eggs when they touch the ground during the bounce.

"Brother seems to... went out?"

There is a row of shallow depressions on the carpet—these are the "egg prints" that the insect eggs bounced vigorously on the carpet.

The carpets laid in the home are made of materials with memory. The imprints that appear after being trampled or rolled will disappear after a period of time, and the surface of the carpet will return to its original shape. It only takes a long time to disappear according to the gravity of the local load. points.

Following Qi Yu's words, Yan squatted down, carefully looked at the depth of the several "egg marks" leading to the door, and discerned that this should be the freshly smashed mark from his second egg.

"Probably...you went out with your male father to meet the visiting guests."

The one big and one small inside the house were talking like this, and Qi Fei outside the house had already noticed the strange movement behind him.

... Rather, since he passed the living room, he noticed an egg following him in a "light" way.

"Afei, you..."

Si Ze at the courtyard gate raised his hand and pointed behind the black-haired male.

"..."

Qi Fei stopped his steps according to his words, as if he had just realized that there was a bouncing little tail behind him, he turned his head to look at the situation behind him.

"!"

I don't know why, it's clearly a big white fat egg that doesn't show any expression, but Qi Fei can see the look of "!" from the insect egg lying on the ground behind him without moving immediately .

The moment he turned his head, he felt that the wind behind him was suddenly sharp for a second.

——It was like the movement caused by some heavy object breaking through the air at high speed.

At the same time, unlike the black-haired male who had his back to Chongdan, he was always facing him and Chongdan.

Standing on the opposite side, they could see very clearly: Chongdan followed Qi Fei all the way and bounced at a stable frequency, at the same height, and the time between bouncing and falling was also very stable.But at the moment before the black-haired male was about to turn his head, the egg, which had just bounced to half the height of an adult, sensed his male father's intention to turn his head, and immediately landed at a speed several times faster than the previous one. Faster... shot back to the ground.

It might not be right to use the verb "shoot" to describe it, but the four onlookers all agreed that this is the verb that best fits Chongdan's momentary action.

Qi Fei looked at the insect egg lying motionless on the ground, "..."

The bug egg watched by his male father, "..."

Of course, Chongdan can't speak yet, but compared to his previous lively appearance, the egg lying on the ground at this moment is very obedient, as if the egg that was alive and kicking before was not him.

This "look at each other" only lasted for a while, and Chongdan waved the small white flag first.

Dan rolled left and right like a baby, then rolled to Qi Fei's feet, stood up, and rubbed against the adult male's legs.

However, the most that an egg can do is stick the egg body to the adult insect and roll it back and forth vertically.

Qi Fei bent down to pick up the eggs.

It had only rained last night, and there was still a layer of moisture on the ground in the garden. Insect Egg followed him out of the house, and the jumping room was inevitably stained with some water.

... Now, those water stains have all been rubbed on his trousers by the egg.

"naughty."

Qi Fei bent his knuckles and tapped the eggshell.

Because the little guy hasn't broken his shell yet, the "body contact" interaction with Qi Yi can only be done to this extent, otherwise, the male insect would probably be more inclined to knock the little insect cub's head directly.

"!"

The feeling of being able to see an egg making an expression surfaced again, and the insect egg shook slightly in Qi Fei's arms, and obediently stuck to Xiongfu's chest, and did not move any more.

Holding the egg that was finally settled down, the black-haired male quickly walked towards the gate of the courtyard, continuing what he had come to do in the courtyard—to greet his friends.

"I already knew from Yan's news that this bug egg is very lively, but I didn't expect it to be so..." Li struggled for a while, searched his vocabulary, and had to use repeated adjectives, "... so lively. "

Si Ze next to him immediately burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Li was a little annoyed, he felt that Size must be laughing at himself.

— Laughing at his vocabulary.

"……nothing."

Si Ze coughed twice and restrained his smile.

He looked at the military female who still had a mixed expression of dissatisfaction and disbelief, and adjusted his expression again, putting on the paralyzed and calm face he usually wore when they first met, "Look, stop smiling."

"..."

Annoyance rises fast and goes away even faster.

Li suddenly felt a little silly for caring so much about human attitudes.

He withdrew his gaze from the other party and turned to the front.

——It just happened to bump into Qi Fei, who was talking to Lu Bei with his head turned sideways.

The black-haired male's gaze obviously just swept over him and Si Ze, but Li felt inexplicably nervous as if he had been caught.

If this was an animation scene, next to Qi Fei's head, there should probably be another small light bulb symbolizing "understand".

Keeping what he had just noticed quietly in his heart, Qi Fei continued to discuss with his friends about the "lively and active" bug egg in his arms with a normal face.

"The strength is so great that you can bounce the egg shell so high together." Lu Bei sighed, and after getting Qi Fei's permission, he reached out and touched the smooth egg body of the insect egg.

The shell wall obtained is flawless and delicate, with considerable hardness.

"At first, I always imagined it as a big egg, and then I imagined it as an ostrich egg." Zhan Kun interjected, "Now it seems that dinosaur eggs may not necessarily have the size and hardness of the shell wall, after all, the little guy is still alive." Can jump so high."

"The eggshell can still be intact after repeated bounces and impacts, the hardness must be..."

The friends chatted around the egg.

Qi Fei slightly bent his lips. They had already entered the main house, and his partner and cubs were waiting for them at the door.

After the two sides greeted each other politely, Yan wanted to reach out and take the egg from Qi Fei's arms, so that his hero could accompany his friends with peace of mind.

And Chongdan, who had just been boasted about his mobility, seemed unwilling to be handed over so plainly, Qi Fei felt that Dandan, who had been quiet for a while, violently vibrated in his arms.

"Want to go to the female father by yourself?" Qi Fei guessed Dan's intention.

"!"

So that subtle sense of parent-child perception is passed on again.

Thinking that it was just for the little guy to show his ability to move, and there was nothing wrong with letting the egg bounce into Yan's arms, Qi Fei relaxed his arms that had been conditioned to reflex when he felt the egg vibrate, and prepared to place the egg in the on the carpet.

However, the moment his arm just relaxed a little, the egg in his arms flicked——

The egg bounced out of a perfect parabola, and crashed into the arms of his female father who was right in front of him.

Qi Fei, "..."

Rather than condemning the little guy's mischievous behavior after being quiet for a while, Qi Fei cared more about Yan's slightly weird expression when he was hit by a bug egg.
