"No."

Xiu denied, subconsciously wanting to avoid this topic, he turned his head away from Alfred, and said with a little embarrassment, "Give... that box to me."

Alfred didn't move, Xiu urged again: "Give it to me."

Take it easy, don't force him to respond...at least not yet.Alfred meditated, and took out the box containing the pregnancy test stick and gave it to Xiu.

He stood up and followed Xiu step by step. After walking two steps, he realized that Xiu was about to go to the bathroom for testing.

To test for a baby—his baby.

Alfred grabbed Xiu suddenly, and asked in a somewhat confused way: "Brother, this, theoretically... that is, I mean theoretically, is it possible?"

Holding the slender box, Xiu nodded silently for a long while.

Alfred took a deep breath, not knowing how he felt, he held Xiu's hand tightly, unable to speak.

"I'll test it first." Xiu said with difficulty maintaining his composure.

"I'll accompany you..."

"No." Xiu said firmly, "You wait here."

Alfred had to be stopped outside the bathroom.He couldn't sit down at all, and walked around in circles in the small room, and suddenly felt that there was something wrong with his common sense. The pregnancy test actually took hours, not minutes. Otherwise, why did he feel that the time It was so slow, it seemed that Xiu would never come out of that door.

In fact, after only a few minutes, Alfred couldn't stay any longer and walked over to knock on the door.

"Brother, are you okay?"

There was a crackling sound inside, but no one answered his words. Alfred's nerves tensed up uncontrollably, and he knocked on the door again.

"Don't knock," Xiu said through the door, "Go away!"

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Alfred felt that his voice was different from usual, it seemed a little trembling... a little flustered.

Alfred's heart was beating violently, and he even felt a little dizzy for some reason.This is too absurd, why is Xiu panicking?What can make Xiu flustered?

——It is impossible to be really pregnant with his child.

Alfred's breathing became short of breath. It felt as if his reason was still there, and he kept telling himself that "this kind of good thing can never happen", but his subconscious mind already knew something.

He couldn't control himself at all, knocked on the door again, and asked as much as possible to restrain his emotions: "Are you okay? Has the result come out?"

As soon as the voice fell, the door opened.

Xiu stood there with a pale face, just by looking at his expression, Alfred already understood, but he still took the slender detector from Xiu's hand, and threw the manual on the sink Take it out and compare it carefully for a long time.

"How could it be?" Xiu sat on the edge of the bed and murmured in a low voice, "Why... there was only that one time..."

Alfred said in a daze: "It was more than once that night."

Xiu glared at him, Alfred closed his mouth, sat beside Xiu, and put his arms around him.Xiu acquiesced to his actions, closed his eyes and sorted out his messy thoughts.

When he left, he thought he was going to die, and there was no way out. People who knew his physical condition should have all died in the explosion of the spaceship... As far as this matter is concerned, he has no one to contact.

The two fell silent, contemplating each other.

After a while, Alfred said, "What do you think?"

Xiu opened his eyes, he had regained some of his composure, and said: "This simple self-test is not 100% accurate, it may be caused by other diseases."

Alfred couldn't help but asked, "What if it's true?"

Xiu seemed to tremble a bit because of this question, and he said, "Did you say that you have a confidant doctor."

"Then contact him."

"Contact him, then what?"

Xiu didn't understand what Alfred meant for a while, he looked at Alfred, and Alfred finally got up the courage to say: "I want to say, this child...you, do you want this child?"

It's strange, when he led his troops in deep space to chase down an advanced civilized spaceship that was neither friend nor foe, he didn't feel any fear at all, but now he was nervous, so nervous that he almost cringed.

Xiu's pupils widened slightly, and there was a trace of astonishment and bewilderment on his face.

—He didn't think about it at all.

Alfred only felt that the absurdly beautiful dream just now had faded away like a tide.

"...you don't want it." He stated, hoping that Yu Xiu could refute him.

"Alfred, I'm a genetically deficient person." Xiu said, looking at Alfred, his tone was almost surprised, "I can't have offspring."

People with genetic defects should not leave offspring. From ancient times to the present, this is the consensus of the entire society from top to bottom.

Obviously, this kind of thing that children know, Xiu didn't expect to need to explain it to Alfred.

Alfred said, "I don't accept it."

"……what?"

"I don't accept this kind of reason. What I'm asking is not whether you should, but whether you want to. Brother, do you want this child yourself?"

"I……"

Xiu was stunned, he suddenly realized that he was rarely asked this kind of question: Do you want to?

In the past 20 years of his life, no one seemed to care whether he wanted to or not, including himself.

So much so that when Alfred asked him if he wanted this child, he couldn't even think about it—for such a major decision, Alfred's interests should be considered, and the pros and cons of this matter for Alfred should be considered. his habitual thinking.

"You want... right?"

"I think. Maybe not just thinking, but wanting very much. How could I not want it? You gave it to me..." Alfred paused, and could hardly utter the crazy words, "It was you who gave it to me." My child."

Xiu was so burned by this sentence, he wanted to retract the hand held by Alfred in shame, but Alfred clenched it tightly and did not let him take it away.

"But brother, but..."

... Sure enough, there is a "but", Xiu thought.What he knows, there are many "buts": his genetic defect, the current situation of internal and external troubles, the pressure of public opinion in the future...

"But if you don't want it, we don't," Alfred said.

Xiu looked at him blankly.

"If you want, I promise you that I will solve all the problems you worry about. It's not all because of this. I originally discussed with my staff. I used extraordinary means to ascend to the position, so I must do something immediately after assuming the position. What a stable position. The Equality Act is already being drafted..." Alfred stopped suddenly as he spoke. Instead of continuing, he said, "I didn't try to influence your decision, I just...just told you You said, you don't have to worry about other things when you make a decision, just consider yourself. Brother, I want you to live for yourself. "

Therefore, even if Xiu decided to give up the child Alfred longed for, he would support Xiu's decision.

Xiu was almost at a loss.

He said dryly, "It's a little early to think about that. It might not be...not that at all."

Alfred nodded, not forcing him to make up his mind right away.

"That's right. Marshal Stone's direct fleet will arrive here to pick us up tomorrow. I will ask my confidant medical team to meet us halfway, and then we will do another..."

"Wait." Xiu suddenly said, "Tomorrow?"

"Yes, tomorrow. So don't worry, there will be a more professional soon..."

"Why can the Grand Marshal's direct fleet arrive within a day?"

Alfred suddenly choked, and he carefully tried to get away with it: "Because, our uncle... knows things like a god?"

"Don't call them indiscriminately. There is only one possibility. They have already arrived nearby, just waiting for your order." Xiu stared at Alfred thoughtfully, "By the way, there is also the crew, and they are not It may be that it happened to be filmed here... From the beginning of angering the emperor, this is part of your plan, and this is the location you have chosen long ago."

Once he got away from the difficult topic, Xiu's sensitivity suddenly returned, and his tone gradually became less pleasant.

"When we landed, I asked you where this is, and you said you didn't know. You also said that you didn't expect this situation, and you only brought one card, so you can only squeeze together in this small room, and there is no more Buy quilts. Actually, we're not stuck here at all."

Alfred opened his light eyes innocently, tilted his head, and his fluffy blond hair trembled with his movements, looking very innocent and cute.

"elder brother."

he yelled, leaning over and trying to be coquettish, but this time it didn't work out.

Xiu first touched his hair uncontrollably, and then pushed his golden head away mercilessly.

"Go out and open another room."
