Chapter 320

After dinner, Qi Heng asked the kid if he wanted to take a nap.

"No, I'm not sleepy at all." Qi Xi refused without thinking.

Qi Heng just asked this question and was not surprised to be rejected. He just reminded him, "Remember to come back if you are tired," and left him alone.

With A0 watching, nothing will go wrong.

The result was that the cub did not come back at dinner time that night.

If Chu Xiu hadn't told him in advance, he would have been spanked when Qi Xi came back.

Since Chu Xiu had taken Qi Xi to dinner, there was no need for him to rush. After the meal time was over and there were no more female insects staying in the cafeteria, he went to have dinner.

Qi Xi was told not to cause trouble for Chu Xiu, but it was obvious that Qi Xi, who only had his female father in his eyes, had thrown these words behind his mind.

Because Qi Xi came back with Chu Xiu.

After Chu Xiu's explanation, he realized that Qi Xi had run to find him and even sat in on a class in the classroom.

"If you understand, then follow me."

Qi Heng reached out and pinched Qi Xi's face, pinching it up and down, and directly pinched Qi Xi's mouth into a duck shape.

"Hmm? You just want to stick to your female father."

"Little troublemaker."

He didn't use much strength, so Qi Xi broke free from his grip with one struggle, ran behind Chu Xiu, stuck his head out and made a face at him.

"Bad father."

When children grow up, they are not as obedient as they were when they were young.

Think about the soft and tiny baby that just came out of the egg and can't walk yet... It seems that it is not very obedient and will only be quiet if you hold it in your arms or hang on your body. Otherwise, it will cry so loudly that it will make the person who can cry feel nervous.

When Qi Heng thought about this, he felt that he shouldn't ask for too much. A child who can understand good and bad words is always better than a child who has a brain as small as a chicken and can only cry.

"Xizi is very well behaved and was very quiet throughout the whole process." Chu Xiu started to speak well of him.

"That's right, I'm very quiet."

Qi Xi blinked and said, "I'm still a cub, it's normal that I don't understand. As long as I know that the female father is super powerful, that's enough."

I don’t know who he resembles in this sweet talk. Qi Heng feels that he was not as good at talking as Qi Xi when he was a child, and it is the same when he grows up.

It can't be that he looks like Chu Xiu, right?

Compared to himself, the taciturn Chu Xiu was a sweet boy when he was young - that was even more difficult for him to imagine.

Qi Heng pressed his eyebrows and said unhappily, "Come here."

Qi Xi looked up at him with an innocent look on his face, "What are you doing?"

"Take you to take a shower." He said expressionlessly.

"I want my mother-in-law to wash me."

"Father Xiong, you're rubbing me so hard it hurts."

Do you know how to say it hurts now? You didn't say that a few days ago.

Qi Heng's mouth twitched and his hands felt a little itchy.

"I'll take him there. I need to wash some clothes too." Chu Xiu said gently, "Where are Xizi's clothes?"

He turned around and picked up a set of pajamas from the bed where Qi Xi slept yesterday and handed it over.

"this."

Chu Xiu picked up his clothes, put away his toiletries, and went out holding the jumping baby in one hand.

About twenty minutes passed.

Qi Xi ran in from the door, already wearing black and white cow pajamas.

"Why did you come back by yourself?"

Qi Xi ran to his side and held out her hand to him, "My mother-in-law is not well yet, so I came back first."

He refused to come over just now, but now he reaches out to be hugged. It’s really hard to guess the kid’s behavior pattern.

Qi Heng took her in his arms and placed her on his knees.

"What are you looking at, father?"

"Replying to the message."

Qi Xi glanced at the chat window on the computer screen, saw the name in the chat box, and said, "It's Uncle Lan Yi."

He held Qi Xi in one hand and continued to reply to messages with the other.

Lan Yi came to him to ask about the ground transportation issues around Gathering Place No. 2, and asked if the "transportation tools" used in the underground city could be used on the ground.

If only underground transportation lines are used, it may not be long before additional train services will be added, but adding additional trains will result in a waste of transport capacity.

After all, apart from the peak travel times in the morning and evening, trains are often empty at other times.

Qi Heng replied and let him decide for himself. If he needed ground transportation, he could ask Ji Lin to purchase some. As for the underground city, which was essentially biological taxis transformed from the original Zerg, there were only a few of them and they would not be used in the gathering place for the time being.

However, the travel program that has been written previously can be modified and made into an app directly loaded on the terminal, which can be regarded as making full use of it.

Qi Xi leaned on him, his eyelids blinking as he watched.

Although he knew all the characters, the meaning of their combination was still too advanced for a young cub.

So the more Qi Xi looked, the sleepier he became, and the more he looked, the more his eyes narrowed.

By the time Qi Heng noticed it, Qi Xi in his arms had already yawned several times in a row, with tears in his eyes. It was obvious that he was very sleepy.

I didn’t take a nap on time, watched videos all afternoon, and listened to heavenly books for two hours in the evening.

After spending a day like this, the cub, who had always been full of energy, finally entered low-energy consumption mode.

Oh, to be precise, it's about to shut down.

Qi Heng tucked the baby into the quilt and picked out a lullaby that the baby liked before bed.

If a baby shows no response to any manipulation, there is no need to coax him. Just play a soothing lullaby and he will fall asleep by himself.

Qi Heng turned his attention back to the screen. At this time, Lan Yi and the others were still working.

It made his non-existent conscience hurt.

Looking at the main control interface of the system next to it, it clearly shows what he has, including his subordinates, the distribution of forces, and the number of different resources he owns...

I feel like I'm reloading the game.

But there are still some differences.

I am much more tired now than when I was playing games. Fortunately, I have the system to support me, otherwise it would be a daydream to recover so quickly.

If you put it this way, it seems that it makes no difference whether you exist or not.

Or anyone else can do it.

For example, you can just find another Zerg to bind to in the Tianjia Zerg. Anyone who is bound by the system can use it, and there is no need to pull yourself through.

He thought so and told A0.

In fact, he just said that and didn't mean anything else, but he didn't expect to provoke a strong reaction from A0.

[You are wrong. The system exists for you.]

Only you can do this. You are never dispensable. You are the only one in the system.

Listening to A0's rebuttal, Qi Heng felt helpless. How could he not know that A0 also had a procedure for flattery?

A0's tone has always been like a human with emotional ups and downs. Although I know that this is just the result of its emotional simulation module working, I still unconsciously ignore this and treat it as a "human".

He said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I get it. I am the chosen one."

“It has to be me.”

[Of course.] A0 said as a matter of course.

[Don't doubt it, you just can't live without me.]

"Who are you talking to?" It was Chu Xiu's voice.

Just now, Chu Xiu walked to the door and vaguely heard voices in the room.

I originally thought that His Majesty was talking to someone again, but when I came in, I only saw Qi Heng sitting by the bed and the sound of soft and pleasant music.

The music was familiar, it was the lullaby that Qi Xi liked.

"nothing."

Qi Heng met Chu Xiu's gaze upon hearing the voice. Of course, he couldn't say that he was talking to A0.

Seeing that Qi Xi was asleep, he turned off the music that was playing.

Without the music, the room suddenly became quiet.

He walked over and sat in the same seat as yesterday. "It's getting late, let's get started now."

“End it as soon as possible.”

The process of mental combing is not uncomfortable for female insects. On the contrary, it makes them feel comfortable... and produces physiological desire, which is inevitable.

Is Qi Heng aware of this?

Of course he knew about it, but he just pretended not to know.

He knew that the more natural his attitude was, the less embarrassed Chu Xiu would feel.

"Turn off the lights and go to bed early if you can."

For four or five hours, the lights were on too brightly.

Female insects have keen senses, and the feeling of lying down and being exposed to direct sunlight is much stronger than that of ordinary people. They will inevitably feel uncomfortable after a long time.

"……good."

Chu Xiu responded, turned off the lights as he asked, and lay down on the bed, adjusting his position so that his head rested on his legs.

"I'm starting."

Qi Heng said this, without any intention of waiting for Chu Xiu's response.

His palm covered Chu Xiu's fragile gland. With his previous experience, he was now able to control his strength so as not to be too heavy and make Chu Xiu feel uncomfortable.

However, there was nothing he could do about the "discomfort" on the other hand, and Chu Xiu could only rely on himself to get through it.

Once again, Qi Heng condemned those who allowed the Tianjia Zerg to evolve into what they are today. He was too magnanimous and how could he allow such a deep bond to develop between the two sexes of this race.

But there's nothing I can do except condemn him.

The Tianjia Zerg is already a mature race. The relationship between male and female Zerg is like that of two intertwined trees and silk vines, a symbiotic relationship in which they support and depend on each other.

It can't be changed in a short time.

Besides, there is actually no need to change it. The combination of the two makes the development of the entire civilization very stable.

——Regardless of individual strength or racial potential, to be frank, there is no one else like him in the entire galaxy.

On the surface, it seems that male insects have a greater impact on female insects, but the opposite is actually the case.

The influence of female insects on male insects is also significant, but it is more covert.

Qi Heng's thoughts were wandering aimlessly, mainly to distract himself.

Turning off the lights didn't seem appropriate for him. Any movement in the darkness seemed to amplify his perception... Chu Xiu, however, seemed to be much more relaxed, and his body was not as tense as yesterday.

He couldn't quite smell his own pheromones. He didn't know if it was because he hadn't quite adapted to his current identity, so he couldn't put himself into it and that caused the dullness.

Or is it that pheromones are more noticeable when placed on the opposite sex?

Maybe.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so keenly aware that Chu Xiu's aura at this moment was different from usual.

There is a difference between female insects in the sub-adult stage and those in the adult stage. The adult female insects have fully developed bones, while the sub-adult stage is just like their appearance, more like a juvenile that has not yet fully developed.

Although it is very ambiguous to say this, there is indeed no place on Chu Xiu's body that he has not touched.

Chu Xiu, who should have been an adult but regressed to sub-adulthood, looked very thin and frail, but when measured inch by inch with the fingertips, one could see that his skin and bones were well-proportioned, and beneath his tight muscles lay an explosive power that could not be ignored.

Recalling memories that gradually merged in dreams.

If… the present Chu Xiu and the past Chu Xiu were put together, he would be more familiar with only what is in front of him.

It’s not because the memory has become vague due to time.

However, up to now, the Chu Xiu he had seen in his memory seemed to have an inexplicable barrier between him and the Lord, making it difficult for him to see the relationship between them.

Qi Heng was somewhat reluctant to think too much about it.

It's rare that he acted like an ostrich in this matter, and only comforted himself that he would definitely not be able to do anything with his dominant personality.

I must be overthinking it.

After all, no matter how one looks at the interaction between the Chief Consul and the Lord in memory, there was no intention of crossing the line.

——Intuition is too subjective. It might just be your own illusion.

Qi Heng thought calmly.

Let's get back to the point and focus on the present. There are more important things to do now than to let your mind wander.

He carefully sorted out Chu Xiu's mental power. He has always been a patient person, otherwise he would not have spent a year playing a game.

Now using this patience on Chu Xiu, the results are naturally not bad.

Time passes slowly.

Just when Qi Heng thought Chu Xiu was asleep, his hand on Chu Xiu's waist was grabbed.

This sudden action made him unable to react for a while.

Especially when he found that Chu Xiu had no intention of letting go, Qi Heng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
