shock!The code machine is actually an alien tentacle monster!

When Professor Chu returned home, Lin Jingyuan was cooking in the kitchen.

"Huh?" Chu Shou was a little surprised, "Why didn't you go to the studio today?"

He sniffed his nose, "What, it smells so good!"

Lin Jingyuan is now cooperating with Fuyao to create her own video team.Funded and sponsored by major kitchenware brands, a dream kitchen was built as a location for daily shooting.

Lin Jingyuan usually spends most of her time at the studio, and rarely shoots videos at home.

"The chocolate beans are finally fermented today." Lin Jingyuan smiled, and picked up a small brown-black bean from the baking tray, "Look, the skin is brittle when you take it out just after drying."

"Wow." Professor Chu opened his eyes wide in surprise, and leaned over, "It finally succeeded!"

Lin Jingyuan is currently making handmade chocolates.This chocolate is not like ordinary handmade chocolate, buy ready-made chocolate and melt it for shape.

Lin Jingyuan started from the cocoa fruit.

First, I bought fresh cocoa beans online, washed them and fermented them at a specific temperature, so that the cocoa beans can show a unique flavor.

Then the fermented cocoa fruit is dried, the skin is removed, and then finely ground to obtain cocoa powder.Then add white sugar, milk, nuts and the like to get real chocolate.

It's easy to say, but Lin Jingyuan got stuck at the first step when she actually did it.

——Obviously according to the tutorial materials on the Internet, but the cocoa beans will always get moldy during the fermentation process.

Once moldy, you have to start again, and the fermentation process itself will last for several days, so the time cost of failure is very high.

Lin Jingyuan has already failed more than a dozen times.Even Chu Shou, who was watching all this, felt discouraged, and couldn't help but think that if it was him, he would have given up long ago.

But Lin Jingyuan didn't show the slightest bit of frustration, she still carefully adjusted the temperature and humidity.Wash your hands well and handle those beans with care.

Finally, today, the cocoa beans are fermented.

Professor Chu is also very happy.

"Let me help you!" He leaned over to Lin Jingyuan and peeled the cocoa beans with him.

After fermentation is drying.The skin of the roasted cocoa fruit is dry and cracked, exposing the brown-black beans inside.

The cocoa beans in his hand were hot and exuded a burnt aroma.The whole kitchen is filled with the aroma of cocoa beans. Chu Shou likes this smell very much, and can't help squinting his eyes, feeling happy physically and mentally.

"Do you like milk chocolate, or nuts, fruits, etc?" Lin Jingyuan turned her head to the side, her eyes were attracted by his smile.

Professor Chu likes to eat sweets and can't stand too bitter things. Lin Jingyuan knew that, so she automatically filtered out the option of "dark chocolate".

Seeing that milk, nuts, and fresh strawberries and sweet oranges were prepared on the table, Professor Chu couldn't help but shine his eyes.

"I like them all!" He looked at Lin Jingyuan expectantly, "Can I do all of them?"

"Okay." Lin Jingyuan smiled, "Do everything."

Stirring is followed by tempering.Lin Jingyuan took out a marble slab, cleaned it and poured melted chocolate on it.While explaining to Professor Chu, he scraped the chocolate back and forth with a spatula several times as a demonstration.

Professor Chu was eager to try, Lin Jingyuan smiled and gave him the scraper: "Try it."

Chu Shou scraped it a few times, only to feel that the hand feels strange.Everyone is happy.

After tempering the chocolate slurry, as long as it is poured into molds to shape and refrigerated, it will become the kind of chocolate sold in shops outside.

"Just pour it in like this?" Chu Shou asked with his head tilted while holding a large bowl.

"Yeah." Lin Jingyuan reached out to help him hold the bowl from below, "That's it, pour it down little by little... that's right."

Lin Jingyuan prepared various molds.There are traditional rectangular grids, simple geometric shapes, and various small animals.

Among them are octopuses and sea otters!

The mold of this shape is not available outside, and it looks like it is specially customized.

Chu Shou couldn't help feeling: "The cost of this video is so high! Is it sponsored by which chocolate brand?"

He had just dipped his finger in some chocolate syrup and tasted it, and it tasted very good.It's better than any kind of chocolate sold outside.

Lin Jingyuan smashed the mold on the table a few times to remove the air bubbles inside.Then put all the molds filled with chocolate in the freezer.

He stood in front of the refrigerator with his back to Professor Chu.Said softly: "This time it's not a video shoot."

Professor Chu: "Huh?"

Yeah, I had so much fun just now that I didn't even notice that the camera wasn't on when I was making the chocolate.Lin Jingyuan wasn't shooting a video at all.

Lin Jingyuan lowered her eyes and was silent for a while before turning around.

"What is your home planet like?"

Professor Chu didn't expect him to ask such a question.But now that he knows that he is an alien tentacle monster, it is normal to be curious.

Chu Shou then described his home planet to him.

The pink atmosphere, you can watch the sunrise more than forty times a day, and the smell of baobab trees in your breath.

As he spoke, his nose felt a little sour.

After all, it was his home planet, where he grew up.

I miss it, there must still be a little bit.

Professor Chu sniffled and smiled a little embarrassedly.The eyes are shining.

Lin Jingyuan looked into his eyes and pursed her lips.As if finally mustering up the courage, I asked:

"Then, can humans survive there?"

Chu Shou tilted his head and thought for a while: "It should be no problem. The ecological environment of the mother star is better than that of the blue star, and the temperature, humidity, and oxygen content are also more stable. In contrast, it may be better for humans to live there Blue Star is more comfortable."

Lin Jingyuan smiled: "That's good."

Professor Chu looked at his expression of "I'm relieved when you say that", and suddenly realized something, and blurted out: "Wait...you're going?!"

"Yeah." Lin Jingyuan stared at him, said seriously and solemnly, "If you go back, I'll go with you."

Professor Chu was stunned.

"You landed on Blue Star because of an accident, and you have been working hard to get home this year." Lin Jingyuan's voice was very gentle, "Think about it too. Your home planet is so beautiful, like a fairy tale world It's different in Blue Star, you can't adapt to the climate alone, summer is hard, winter is hard too. And you are not familiar with everything here, you have to learn everything from scratch. It's very tiring."

"If I were you, I'd be homesick too."

"It's good that you can go home in a moment."

"But I miss you."

Chu Shou's pupils trembled slightly, and he opened his eyes wide, looking at Lin Jingyuan.

Lin Jingyuan still looked at him with a smile:

"I'm so sad to think you're going. I'm so sad to die."

"But I can't keep you. I know that if I ask, you will stay for me. You are so kind and gentle, as long as I ask you, you will definitely stay for me. You are too kind."

"But Blue Star is not your home. How can I stop you from going home?"

"I've been feeling like this for days. I don't know what to do."

"Then one day, I suddenly figured it out."

The timer rang suddenly.It's time for the chocolate to be refrigerated.

Lin Jingyuan didn't bother with the timer, and let the timer beep beeping.

He stared at Chu Shou with a smile in his eyes.Warm and soft, like holding out a heart.

"If you want to go, then I'll go with you, isn't it all right?"

Chu Shou opened his eyes wide and stared at him blankly: "You, you are..."

"Hmm." Lin Jingyuan touched his nose, his face flushed a little.But still holding back her shyness, she looked at him with a smile, "I'm confessing. I like you and want to be with you. That's what it means."

thump.

Like a big bell in a temple, Chu Shou's heart was hit hard.

So sour and bloated.

Professor Chu's vision suddenly blurred.

"Wow——" Tears rushed out of the eyes, Chu Shou couldn't control it, and burst into tears.

"Hey???" Lin Jingyuan didn't expect him to react like this. She panicked and said at a loss, "You, what are you...why are you crying? You...don't cry...why...why..."

Lin Jingyuan was terribly nervous. She didn't know if she said something wrong, or if Chu Shou couldn't accept his feelings.

The thought of the latter almost broke his heart.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." Chu Shou couldn't stop crying, and he couldn't speak clearly in his mouth.Lin Jingyuan tried hard to distinguish his words, and comforted him: "Don't worry, speak slowly...it's okay...you don't have to take my thoughts into account...whatever you want to say, just say it. It's okay..."

He was already struggling to come to terms with the fact that he had been rejected.

Chu Shou shook his head desperately: "No woo woo woo, I woo woo woo..."

Chu Shou didn't know what was going on, he obviously didn't want to cry, he was obviously very happy - no, it should be said, he was obviously very happy!

Lin Jingyuan confessed to him!

Lin Jingyuan likes him!

And Lin Jingyuan said that he wanted to go back to his home planet with him!

He obviously knows that he is a tentacle monster, and also knows that his home planet is so far away from Blue Star...but he is still willing to go back with him!

Why is Lin Jingyuan so nice!

Such a nice guy - he said he liked me!

I like him too! ! !

"Warning!!!!" The optical brain was affected by something, and its operation became extremely sluggish. At this time, a row of exclamation marks suddenly jumped out, "It was detected that the dopamine content in the host body exceeded the standard, the heart rate was too fast, the blood pressure increased, and the neural language The system is not functioning normally. Please get rid of the source of dopamine as soon as possible!!!!”

Chu Shou only felt that his chest was sore and swollen, and it was filled with a hot feeling.

He couldn't hear the light brain's warning at all, and even if he heard it, he wouldn't take it seriously - the source of his dopamine rise was Lin Jingyuan, how could he leave Lin Jingyuan now!

Now Professor Chu is full of "I like you too".The five words circled in my heart countless times, but the words still turned into——

"I woo woo woo—"

"I wow wow wow—"

"I keep talking..."

He was so anxious that he even burst out the B512 star language!

——But why can't the tears stop!

Chu Shou was crying so hard that he was almost dying of anger!

What's the matter with this body!broken!

Why can't you speak human words! ! !

Lin Jingyuan was frightened by his sudden burst of crying, panicked all of a sudden, and said in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry, don't cry...I'm sorry..."

He wanted to wipe Chu Shou's tears, but he didn't dare, so he hurriedly searched for a napkin, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, just pretend I didn't say it...don't make things difficult...don't cry..."

He even took a deep breath and forced a smile, "Don't cry. The chocolate is ready, I'll bring it to you, let's not talk about it, okay?"

Professor Chu: "!!!"

How could this be! ! !

I heard!I heard you confess! ! !

How can I pretend that you didn't say it! ! !

Seeing Lin Jingyuan pretending to be indifferent but obviously very sad, Shou Chu was also very anxious.

How is the human body like this!When the dopamine level is high, you can't talk!

This does not delay things! ! !

The tentacle monster, which had lost its ability to speak, couldn't bear it anymore in desperation, and threw itself into Lin Jingyuan's arms with open arms!

"...?" Lin Jingyuan was stunned.

Chu Shou hugged him tightly.The tears still couldn't stop, making Lin Jingyuan's chest wet and hot all of a sudden.

Excessively excited emotions triggered an overly intense biochemical reaction, which made Chu Shou's human body unable to adapt.

His head was always in a daze, unable to speak, and he whimpered when he opened his mouth.

The only thing he could do was to hug Lin Jingyuan tightly.don't let him go.

I don't want to hear his apologies anymore.

"..." Lin Jingyuan opened her eyes wide, in a daze.

The person in her arms was crying and trembling all over, Lin Jingyuan only felt that her heart was being pulled, and the pain was almost broken.

He couldn't help raising his hand, gently stroking Chu Shou's back, feeling that the person in his arms was trying to take a deep breath.

He took deep breaths one after another, as if he was brewing something.

Lin Jingyuan vaguely sensed something, and her heart began to beat wildly.

Even though it was only a few seconds and a few deep breaths, he felt it was as long as tens of millions of years.

It is said that the distance from planet B512 to the blue star is tens of millions of light years.

Then, it will take tens of millions of years for a ray of light to travel from B512 to the blue star.

But now, a small alien tentacle monster, traveling tens of millions of light-years away, threw itself into his arms and hugged him tightly.

He took a deep breath desperately, as if trying to gather strength.

Then, with all my strength, I said to him——

"I like you too!"

"Lin Jingyuan! I too - I like you so much!!!"

Lin Jingyuan: "!!!"

His heart was also hit.Suddenly I understood.

It turned out that the reason why he cried so hard was not because he was frightened by his confession.

It was not rejection, it was not anger.

It turned out to be just—too touched.

I was so moved that I couldn't cry, I was so moved that I couldn't speak clearly!

...Really, like a child.

It's too cute.

Lin Jingyuan raised the corner of her mouth uncontrollably: "...um."

Chu Shou buried his head in his chest and rubbed it happily: "I won't go back. I want to stay and be with you all the time."

Lin Jingyuan: "Okay."

The two hugged each other tightly.Like a koala holding a tree trunk, like an octopus holding a mast, like a big otter holding a small sea otter.

After hugging for a while, Shou Chu raised his head again, and whispered: "...do I still have chocolate to eat?"

Lin Jingyuan smiled: "Yes."

It's really a child who loves sweets.

Give you everything.

He lowered his head and kissed the top of Chu Shou's hair lightly.

Feeling that soft kiss, Chu Shou shrank shyly.

But he hugged him even tighter.
