Chapter 66

After promising Lin Huaichen that he would go home early and repeatedly assuring him that he would bring Claude back, Lin Huaichen hung up the phone with satisfaction, leaving Yu An and Claude looking at each other in bewilderment.

After a moment of silence, Yu An suspected from the bottom of his heart, "Did you offend my father again?"

Judging from Lin Huaichen's tone, this time it was more like a Hongmen Banquet targeting Claude, a one-way trip.

Claude was deeply puzzled. "No...right? I think he simply hates me. Is he determined to kill me this time? Should I fight back?"

Yu An: "...not really."

In fact, Yu An couldn't guarantee it. He pondered Lin Huaichen's attitude and said, "He was acting normal before we left. Is he under some kind of stimulation?"

In order to ensure Lin Huaichen's safety, Yu An specially called Wen Xun. At this time, Wen Xun was still busy with work. After two unanswered calls, the call was successfully connected. The background sound was noisy, mixed with the heart-wrenching roar of the researcher.

"Parameters! The parameters are wrong, you idiot!"

"I've already said that the growth temperature of this fungus is very strict, and you actually lowered it by three degrees. If you want to piss me off to death, just say it!"

"You're asking me such a basic question! Did you buy your master's degree?! I'm not your mother, get lost!"

“…”

Among a bunch of crazy researchers, Wen Xun's mental state was as stable as ever, and his clear and smooth tone gave Yu An a great sense of reliability. "An An, what can I do for you?"

Yu An thought for a moment and slowly asked, "...Dad, I want to ask, do you know if Dad encountered anything unhappy today? He seems to be in a bad mood."

Wen Xun hit the nail on the head: "Is he crazy?"

"Uh...no."

Yu An told Wen Xun everything that had just happened.

After listening to this, Wen Xun was silent for two seconds, then soothed her, "Okay, I get it. Don't go home yet. I get off work at five o'clock, so you can go back at the same time. It's okay with me here."

With Wen Xun's words, Yu An felt much more at ease. He looked at his watch and saw that it was almost time for lunch. He definitely couldn't go back, so Yu An and Claude decided to just eat something outside.

At noon, the scorching heat wave burned the earth. Yu An sat in the passenger seat, leaning his head against the car window, and glanced at Claude who was concentrating on driving.

Claude rolled up his sleeves slightly, and the muscles on his arms were just right, not too exaggerated, and full of power. Yu An stared at his hands on the steering wheel unconsciously until he was hit on the forehead and came back to his senses.

Yu An looked at the tentacles that were slowly withdrawing in confusion, "What happened?"

The red light came on, Claude stopped the car and turned to look at him, "I kept calling you just now, but you ignored me."

"Oh, I was distracted." Yu An turned his head, "So what did you call me for?"

Claude: "My colleague recommended a private restaurant to me. I remember you don't like spicy food, and the dishes there are very light and taste good. Do you want to go?"

Yu An was not picky about food and nodded in agreement.

After spending two hours eating, Yu An sincerely sighed that the food in this private restaurant was just as Claude said, and it was very much to his taste, especially the seafood porridge, which was delicious and thick, but without any fishy smell.

During the meal, Claude also killed an alien and gave Yu An an extra meal. The students from Xinqi Academy who arrived later were bewildered by the empty restaurant.

Where is the alien species? Why is it gone?

Finally, they saw Claude and Yu An sitting opposite him in the crowd. The moment they saw Yu An's appearance clearly, the students opened their eyes wide in amazement.

Claude's calm eyes swept over them without saying a word. The group of students lowered their heads like timid little chickens and hid behind the captain.

The captain groaned inwardly. He had just been browsing the forum and the couple was still at school. How could they appear here again? But now, the captain could only bite the bullet and walk to Claude. "Instructor."

Claude glanced at him indifferently and said, "I'm taking a day off today." The implication was that anything related to work was out of the question.

The captain was very tactful. "I know. I just came to ask, instructor, if you have seen a humanoid alien with goat horns and a horse face. This is our mission this time, and it's worth two credits."

Yu An paused while eating porridge. This familiar and embarrassing appearance was the same one he had just eaten, but now it was dead and there was not even a corpse.

"Cough cough..." Yu An pretended to cough twice. Claude immediately looked over and handed him a glass of water. Yu An hurriedly signaled with his eyes in a short time.

Whatever excuse you use, you must give students credits! No matter what you do, you can't damage their credits!

This is the bottom line for college students.

Claude successfully received Yu An's message and said to the team leader, "I killed the alien. You report it directly to the school and the credits will be yours."

The team leader was ecstatic, "Thank you, instructor, thank you, thank you." Then he bowed to Yu An, "Thank you, thank you, thank you very much."

The team leader knew that Claude's attitude changed because of Yu An's cough. The credits that were about to be lost were suddenly returned. All this was thanks to Yu An.

If there weren't so many people around, the team leader would have wanted to kowtow to Yu An to express his gratitude for his great kindness.

After getting the credits, the students left contentedly. Yu An watched their backs from afar. If he had chosen Xinqi College, he would be the one doing tasks outside all day long. Just thinking about it made him feel physically and mentally exhausted.

Yu An finished the last mouthful of porridge, stood up and said, "Let's go."

Claude naturally took his hand and asked, "Where to now?"

"Since we can't go home, let's just walk around the mall or go to the movies."

A one or two hour movie was the most time-killing entertainment that Yu An could think of. Claude naturally would not object, so the two of them went to the top-floor cinema and bought two movie tickets.

On the way, Yu An and Claude met the student group again. The students stood up straight and watched Yu An and Claude walk into the cinema with great solemnity.

Yu An felt the attention focused on him and felt uncomfortable all over. He quickened his pace and vaguely heard the voices of students discussing excitedly behind him.

"Honestly, the Chief Instructor and his boyfriend are so affectionate. They're always together, eating together, and now they're even watching a movie together. It's so romantic."

"Indeed, it was unexpected that the Chief Instructor had a boyfriend. Now he's actually out on a date. Wow, men in love really change."

"By the way, do you know the identity of that little sweetheart? He doesn't look like an ordinary person. Is he also a superpower?"

"Those who can enter the academy should all be people with special abilities, otherwise it would not be in compliance with the rules. But I didn't detect any special ability fluctuations from him."

“…”

From the students' conversation, Yu An suddenly realized that something was wrong. He lowered his head and looked at him and Claude's hands tightly held together, and his head buzzed.

The habit of holding hands originated from childhood, but now Yu An has grown up, and the meaning of holding hands has become different. Yu An hesitated for a few seconds and finally did nothing.

Claude's body temperature is lower than his. Yu An is reluctant to give up the coolness of summer and thinks that maybe he will be able to quit this bad habit by winter.

"Wait a moment, I'll go buy the tickets." Claude took Yu An to sit on the sofa in the waiting room. "Would you like me to buy you a passion fruit cup?"

Yu An liked this the most, "Okay."

After waiting for a few minutes, Claude came back with juice and movie tickets. He handed the juice to Yu An and said, "I put less ice in it for you."

Yu An took a sip, feeling incredibly happy. "What kind of movie is it?"

"It's said to be a romance." Claude only knew a lot about fruit tea because he often accompanied Yu An out to drink it, but he knew nothing about movies. "The other shows are all full, only this one is available."

Yu An took a sip of juice and said, "That would probably be very boring."

Otherwise, nothing would be left. The audience has sharp eyes.

But their purpose was not to watch a movie, they just wanted to kill time. If that didn't work, they could just go to sleep. The dim environment in the cinema was also very suitable for sleeping, Yu An thought.

But half an hour after the movie started, Yu An realized what it meant to be on pins and needles. The shrill cries of the heroine on the big screen, the almost voice-breaking howling of the hero, and the embarrassing love words that made people's scalps numb, were constantly challenging the limits of human endurance.

Finally, the male protagonist made a classic statement, [Although I am fascinated by your soul, I am also addicted to her body. You two are unique to me! ]

Yu An: “…”

I've never seen such a thing in my life.

Some audience members who could not bear it any longer stood up and fled, and the rest basically watched while cursing, but they could not hold on for long and left in anger.

Yu An wanted to take out earplugs to plug his ears, but suddenly realized that the people around him were ridiculously quiet. He turned around and saw Claude staring intently at the big screen with a serious attitude, as if he was learning important knowledge.

Yu An poked his arm and asked, "Do you want to see more?"

Claude nodded. "Human love is very complicated. I don't quite understand it. Do you understand?"

Even though Yu An has lived in human society for so long, he is still completely clueless when faced with such a love movie that destroys his worldview. But judging from the attitude of the audience around him, it is estimated that even pure humans may not be able to understand this earth-shattering concept of love.

"I don't understand, and I don't want to understand." Seeing the plot heading towards the scale of an adult film, Yu An panicked, "Hurry up, hurry up, I don't want to watch it anymore."

Claude still looked like a curious baby, "Why do they take off each other's clothes when they have a disagreement?"

"Don't ask." Yu An's face flushed, and he pulled Claude out. "Don't tell me you don't know what they are going to do. I know you have lived a long time, don't try to lie to me about this."

"I really don't know." Claude looked at Yu An with a curious look, "An An, tell me."

Yu An's face was so red that it was about to bleed, but Claude obviously would not give up until he got an answer. Yu An didn't want to know whether he was pretending to be ignorant or he really didn't understand.

Yu An suppressed his shame and spoke very quickly, "...mate, they want to mate, do you understand? If you understand, then leave quickly."

Claude was surprised for a moment, then nodded. "I see. So this is what human horny is like. Very different."

The waiting room of the cinema was empty. Yu An sat back in his original seat and drank a sip of ice-cold juice to calm himself down. After listening to Claude's words, he asked curiously, "Could it be that the mating method of Usatos is different from that of humans?"

Claude opened his mouth, but then closed it again, perhaps because he was worried about something.

Yu An was relentless, "Hurry up and tell me."

Claude wanted to struggle again, but Yu An held his hand and stuffed the passion fruit tea into his hand, his eyes full of curiosity and expectation, "Here, drink it, and tell me about it."

"No..." Claude's refusal was about to come out but stopped abruptly when he looked at Shang Yuan with a pleading expression. He sighed and said, "Okay."

Yu An immediately sat up straight, like a good student, and waited attentively for Claude to speak.

Claude said slowly, "I'm not very familiar with how humans reproduce, but the reproduction method of Ultatos is very simple. The male Ultatos will wrap its tentacles around the female Ultatos's tentacles, and the combination will form a fertilized egg."

"The eggs will initially grow in the female's tentacles. Once they grow a bit bigger, they will be transferred to the male's tentacles. Therefore, in our tribe, fathers usually raise their children."

This is completely different from humans.

After hearing this, Yu An was silent for a long time. He had long expected that the reproduction methods of the two races would be different, but he never expected the difference to be so great.

Wait...using tentacles...the tentacles are equivalent to their...

Yu An slowly looked at the man holding Claude's hand, his mind exploded, and he shook his hand away in a second. His mind was full of one thought: There is something dirty!
