Chapter 346

The next day, Qi Heng woke up from bed feeling refreshed.

As expected, there is a direct correlation between physical condition and the quality of rest. Sleeping at home is definitely more comfortable than sleeping on a spaceship.

He looked at the other side of the bed and found it was empty.

The doll that Qi Xi and Qi Lan strongly requested to be brought into bed last night was now nowhere to be seen.

Qi Heng looked at the two cubs lying in the middle, hugging each other and still sleeping, and pinched a ball in each hand, "Wake up, it's time to get up."

"I have to go to school today. If I don't get up now, I'll be late."

The two cubs moved, but had completely different reactions.

"Father Xiong, good morning." Qi Lan opened his eyes drowsily. Although he was not fully awake yet, he was waking up.

Apart from moving a little, Qi Xi didn't even open his eyes, and even wanted to shrink into the quilt.

Seeing Qi Xi's sleepy appearance, Qi Heng felt helpless, "I really don't know how he usually wakes up."

When I looked again, Qi Lan had woken up and sat up rubbing his eyes.

He reached out and picked up Qi Lan, placing her on the bedside. "Go wash up first, and wait for me to wake Qi Xi up."

"Okay."

With him around, Qi Lan felt at ease and went to find her slippers and wash up.

Qi Heng is not a gentle person. He has always treated his children casually. Now, facing Qi Xi who is staying in bed, he has no intention of coaxing him into waking up with soft words.

He got right to it.

She lifted the blanket from the kid, then picked him up and shook him, "Didn't you say you wanted Chu Xiu and I to take you to school together? If you don't get up soon, your father will have to go to work."

"You will have to go to school with Qi Lan alone."

Qi Xi, who was shaken, opened his eyes reluctantly. When he saw his father's appearance and heard what he said, he shuddered all over.

"No, no, you promised last night, you can't go back on your word."

Seeing Qi Xi open his eyes, he chuckled, "It's you who can't get up, not us who want to regret it."

He and Chu Xiu were going to work, and before going to work they had to send Qi Xi and Qi Lan to school, which meant that this time was earlier than the time Qi Xi and the others usually got up.

It is very difficult for Qi Xi, who usually has the habit of staying in bed, to get up early.

"I, I got up."

Qi Xi tried to open his eyes wide, but his confused expression was not convincing.

"It's so early. I'm so sleepy."

"I can't sleep." Qi Xi murmured to himself. After trying to stand up, he stretched out his hand to him, "Father Xiong, hold me. I need to go wash my face."

"After washing my face...I don't want to sleep anymore."

Qi Xi said this and yawned.

"Change your clothes first." Qi Heng took the clothes on the bedside.

Of course he wasn't that careful, Chu Xiu had put it there last night.

"Father Xiong, help me put it on." Qi Xi acted coquettishly without any pressure.

That male insect cub is a spoiled one. Even in school he will be given in and protected, not to mention that this is in front of his male father.

After being a stay-at-home dad for several years, Qi Heng has become very skilled in this area.

"Take off your pajamas yourself." He shook out the T-shirt in his hand.

"Oh." Qi Xi grabbed the clothes and stripped himself clean in a few seconds, "Father Xiong, I'm fine."

"Raise your hands. Um, put them down." He put the T-shirt directly on Qi Xi's head and took the pants. "Lift your legs."

Finally, there is a light but warm coat and a scarf of the same color.

Qi Heng held the clothes in one hand and put on Qi Xi's slippers with the other. Then he picked up the baby and put him at the bathroom door. "Can you wash yourself?"

"Can."

Qi Xi nodded several times and yawned, "Father Xiong, please help me wring the towel. I can do the rest myself."

Qi Xi was too weak to turn it, so when he and his brother were alone together, his brother would help him.

"good."

While Qi Xi was washing up, Qi Lan, who had just finished washing up, ran in and said, "Father Xiong, where are my clothes?"

"By the bed, the blue one."

"Do you need help?"

"No, I can put it on myself."

Compared to the spoiled Qi Xi, Qi Lan is much more sensible. Although he is sometimes very childish, he is not a complete child like Qi Xi.

After all, Qi Lan had served as the commander-in-chief of the empire for many years. Even if he didn't take care of things, it was impossible for him to be like a cub.

Outside, Qi Lan, who looks young, is actually very reliable. It is only in front of Qi Heng and Chu Xiu that he shows his less "stable" side.

Seeing that they could handle it, Qi Heng walked to the wardrobe and opened the door.

There were two different styles of clothes hanging clearly separated inside, his on the left and Chu Xiu's on the right.

He mostly wore casual clothes, while Chu Xiu's dressing style was more formal, just like the image he presented to the outside world. He also had two sets of military uniforms that he rarely wore at home just in case.

In fact, Qi Heng didn't spend much more time at home than Chu Xiu, so he naturally didn't have many clothes either.

But every time I come back, my clothes are neatly hung in the closet, each set is matched and ready to use at any time.

Without having to think, you know who matched it and who organized it.

Put on a shirt and trousers, button up the buttons, match the silver-gray shirt with a black windbreaker jacket, and the lower body is bright beige trousers.

Simple and generous, yet elegant.

“Da da da—”

Qi Heng heard a voice behind him, but he didn't turn around.

The next moment, there was a pendant on his thigh.

"Father Xiong, I'm fine."

With a head of rough black hair, Qi Xi raised his head and looked at him with his round eyes.

"Xiaoxi, come here. Your hair is not combed yet."

Qi Lan was holding a comb in his hand. His hair had been combed neatly and tied at the back of his head, leaving a small tuft. He had been growing his hair for several years and it had gone from being as short as Qi Xi's to being able to tie it up now.

Qi Xi, however, was too lazy to take care of her hair and cut it short every year.

"Father Xiong, please help me comb my hair."

"...I'm not good at this, so let your brother help you comb it." Qi Heng had short hair himself, so for convenience, he just combed it with his hands.

Qi Xi was unhappy again because her hair was not combed well.

Qi Heng, who knew Qi Xi's conceited personality well, had no intention of getting involved in this mess.

"Hurry up, your father-in-law is waiting for us to go out for breakfast."

"Oh well."

Qi Xi let go of his hand and ran to Qi Lan, "Brother, come here, you have to look better."

"Don't worry, it will definitely look good. Brother has never made you look bad before."

"That's true." Qi Xi felt relieved.

…

After some tidying up and having breakfast, I could finally send Qi Lan and the others to school.

The school is not far away, and the little bug boy of this age doesn’t have much homework to take home, so his schoolbag is empty and only contains the water bottle he usually drinks.

The schools in the residential area are all direct-entry schools. Although the teacher standing at the door has no impression of them, he can tell from their appearance that they are related by blood.

After sending Qi Xi and Qi Lan to the school gate, the teacher on duty standing at the gate greeted them with a smile.

Qi Heng smiled back, then lowered his head and said to the two children, "Study hard, I'll pick you up in the evening."

"——Is the male father coming to pick us up?"

Qi Xi said this, glanced at Chu Xiu, and asked expectantly, "Really? Will the female father come?"

"Isn't having me enough?" Qi Heng rubbed Qi Xi's head and said unhappily, "Your father doesn't have time today, but there will be a chance next time."

"Come in quickly."

"Okay then." Qi Xi felt a little disappointed.

"Goodbye, father." Qi Lan held his brother's hand and said goodbye to them.

The school gate was crowded with parents sending their children to school. Fortunately they arrived early and there were not many people around, otherwise the traffic would have been jammed.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were few people around, Qi Heng and his friends called a hover car after they finished sending the guests off.

He was going outside Area 49, and so was Chu Xiu, so they could go together for a while.

After getting in the car, he noticed Chu Xiu looking at him, "What's wrong?"

"You said you were going to pick them up tonight, aren't you leaving?"

"Well, we will all stay on Tianyun Star from now on. We won't be away from home all the time like before."

He smiled and said, "I should be able to stay at home longer than you. Qi Xi and the others can be left to my care."

"That..." Chu Xiu paused and said, "That's great."

Somewhat confused by Chu Xiu's meaning, but it didn't matter to Qi Heng. "I'll be working at the medical center as a 'doctor'."

"I'll tell you first. If anyone asks, you can tell them directly."

On the ground, the roads around the residential area have been built long ago, and can lead to any area in all directions.

At the speed of the hover car, speeding on a relatively empty road, it only took twenty minutes from departure to arrival.

When Qi Heng got off the car, his appearance had changed.

It looks like a 'doctor'.

The system's disguise was always effective. The 'Doctor' looked completely different from himself. Even if someone knew both of them, they wouldn't think they were the same person.

However, there are not many Zerg who know both 'Qi Heng' and 'Doctor', and even fewer who know that they are the same person.

At this time, there were quite a few Zerg coming to work, but there were not many people at the door.

Qi Heng walked towards the gate.

The original central hall was built on the site of the former Dead Egg Pit. It is a large building with nearly ten floors from the ground to the basement.

The building that was alone three years ago now has several new buildings standing around it - all of which were built later.

One of the buildings is a dormitory, and the rest are all inpatient buildings.

At the beginning, when only a small number of male parasites were admitted, the original inpatient area was sufficient, but as time went on, the beds became increasingly scarce, and there were plans to admit female parasites, so expansion became a natural necessity.

Construction has not stopped for three years, and it was not until this year that the entire area was completed.

Each building here is connected by an aerial corridor, making it convenient for the Zerg working inside to travel back and forth.

But most of them are in the area they are responsible for. Apart from Qi Heng himself, the only ones who run back and forth are his students.

Enter the central hall.

Qi Heng found the elevator going upstairs and waited for it to stop at the floor with a fast sliding walkway.

Ten minutes later, he appeared in his work area for the day.

He glanced at the time, put on his white coat, and headed to the meeting room.

We were notified yesterday, and everyone should be here by now.

Pushing the door open, he saw a group of male insects sitting inside, led by Jiang Chen.

"Teacher." Jiang Chen greeted him.

The fact that the genders present were too uniform wasn't Qi Heng's fault; he didn't favor boys over girls... male? female? But when it came to designing mental healing, only male insects could currently perform.

He nodded at Jiang Chen, walked to the side and sat down, "Enough of the nonsense, tell us in order what you have experienced in using mental power for treatment during this period."

Of course, these words were not directed at Jiang Chen, who had been with him for three years.

This was said to the other male insects present. They had only been here for three months and had been learning to use their mental power, occasionally helping those with more experience.

It was only recently that they began to take over the entire clinical treatment process of regenerating wings in female insects.
