Chapter 58 Wild Rose's palm moved down and slid to the edge of the shirt

Bai Ling gradually calmed down from his memories.

Looking back now, the fact that he and Mr. D had been able to get along for twenty years beyond the formalities was not just a matter of fate.

There are many factors to consider when adults interact with each other, such as social relationships, class, money... Face-to-face interactions will always be reserved, let alone two strangers who are far apart through the Internet.

He knew nothing about Mr. D's private life, and Mr. D knew very little about him.

He even lied to Mr. D, saying that he was sent abroad all year round to work on a deserted border planet, responsible for "blasting and demolition" work.

It wasn't that Bai Ling lied intentionally, but he knew very well that if he got involved with someone like himself, there would definitely be no good ending.

During those years, his wanted posters were always at the top of the wanted lists. The tyrant was furious and denounced him. The News Broadcast opened a special column for him, and the secrets of his wealth were completely exposed by spies.

If the authorities discovered that he had too close a relationship with Mr. D, the secret police might kick down his door that night and torture Mr. D severely.

Moreover, he couldn't make a long-term commitment to the other party.

The battlefield environment changes rapidly. A temporary victory does not represent any results. Either you die today or I die tomorrow.

After more than ten years of tug-of-war, everyone is extremely exhausted physically and mentally. Some escaped, some committed suicide. Bai Ling was lucky enough to hold on until the end and was kicked out of the leadership team due to injuries.

Of course, he couldn't help feeling resentful that his power was stripped away and he was forced to hand over the team he had built.

However, at the beginning of his retirement, Bai Ling still maintained an optimistic attitude.

Now that you are here, make yourself comfortable.

Maybe if I return to the capital planet under an assumed name, I can have a new beginning.

He couldn't afford to buy a house, but he could rent a small room. I can't find a job, but I can make a living by doing odd jobs with my rattlesnake. His goal is clear and planned.

I saved enough money to buy a small metal cart, get a business license, and sell milk in the square.

After going around in circles, I ended up back at the starting point.

Bai Ling would also lament that one of his dreams when he started the army was to restore the milk delivery system after conquering the empire and establishing a new regime.

Although my career collapsed midway, it would be worth my life if I could set up a small stall of my own.

At the end, he still didn't give up hope of living.

Just like what the mermaid often said of him, you are always rash and always insensitive to pain.

Bai Ling felt that it was an instinct that evolved in an oppressive environment and was one of the few treasures he had acquired in his previous life.

Just rush forward, never look back to see the explosion.

Things will work out when the time comes, and life will always turn around.

Otherwise, he would not be given a second chance by fate to start over under the protection of the mermaid.

However, Bai Ling could never remember the details about his death.

He had a feeling that he did not die from a simple illness. A bad guy like him, who was called "an invincible stinky bird" by General Sava and "a cunning and cruel scum" by the secret police, would take a group of people with him even if he died.

It would be best if we could fly a flying vehicle into the palace tower and smash the tyrant into pieces.

"I don't think there was a collision..." Bai Ling muttered to himself, wrapped in the warm duvet.

If it hits...

Wouldn't he be the indirect murderer of the mermaid? !

Bai Ling's pupils shrank, and he suddenly jumped up, all his melancholy and sadness disappeared.

He jumped off the bed and drew aside the curtains, letting the midday sun shine through the window gap onto his face. He avoided the light and blinked for a while to adjust to the lighting, then looked again and found that outside the wall were not towering floating clouds, but a greenhouse full of greenery.

The mermaid set up her master bedroom next to the greenhouse.

The blooming jasmine flowers are elegantly dotted under the windowsill.

Bai Ling climbed out of the window, stepping onto the lawn with his bare feet and then his prosthetic limbs. The freshly cut grass felt itchy and ticklish when I stepped on it. The soil under the grass slope was moist, obviously having just been watered.

There is no bird that would dislike such an environment.

Of course, they would not refuse to chirp to the owner of the greenhouse.

Yu Chen was holding a water pipe and watering the newly opened tulips. He heard a light sound of wind, then felt a heat behind his waist, and a flexible body pressed against him.

Yu Chen stood steadily, raised his left hand, and rubbed the furry head resting on his shoulder:

"Are you awake? Do you want to sleep a little longer after dinner?"

Bai Ling used his teeth to open his collar, nibbled on his neck and shoulders, and said in a muffled nasal voice:

"I won't sleep anymore. I can't let you lead me into bad habits."

Yu Chen turned his head, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What bad habits?"

"Stay in bed, stay in your bed."

Yu Chen couldn't help but laugh, "It's just staying in bed. Even if he wets the bed, it's not a big deal."

Bai Ling: “?”

Yu Chen pinched his cheeks: "After all, birds are straightforward, and so is my little bird."

She is clear and honest to outsiders, but straightforward and warm-hearted to him, unable to hide any emotion.

Yu Chen's teasing made Bai Ling feel a little guilty.

He had a crush on Mr. D in his previous life, but in this life he hooked up with Yu Chen regardless of everything, which seems a bit fickle.

Bai Ling tightened his arms around the mermaid's waist, leaned his cheek against his broad shoulders, and said slowly:

"I do have something I want to confess to you..."

Yu Chen turned off the water pipe and listened carefully.

Bai Ling always felt it was difficult to speak, so she gritted her teeth and confided to him: "My former guardian and I have some unresolved past, and I want to go find him and sort it out, is that okay?"

This is a question.

It means that Yu Chen can say yes or refuse.

Yu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I'm not such a generous alpha."

The bird's claws around his waist twitched, then quickly stroked his abdominal muscles, as if smoothing his scales.

"If you didn't tell me in advance and secretly went to find the other party, I would definitely be angry. However, you told me in advance now," Yu Chen changed his tone, "which means you care more about the feelings of the current parents."

"This way, I have no reason to refuse."

As he spoke, he grabbed the bird's claws and stuffed them into his shirt, as if he was teaching a child how to get what he wanted.

Bai Ling stared at him suspiciously, "Really not protecting your food?"

"Try not to protect."

Bai Ling pursed her lips and said, "Then I will try my best to feed you before I leave."

Yu Chen was very interested: "How are you going to feed him?"

Bai Ling asked calmly: "How would you like to eat?"

Yu Chen habitually wanted to hold his waist, so his hand moved down and slid to the edge of his shirt. Under his underwear... it was empty?

Bai Ling's waist and hips shook as he slapped her butt neither lightly nor hard, and her brain went blank instantly.

Yu Chen said to him seriously: "Go, put on your pajamas and come over."

Bai Ling walked away cursing.

There is no alpha who would wish for his omega to wear clothes every day.

Old thing, so hypocritical.

Despite the scolding, he still put on his trousers obediently. When he came back, he saw the old man bending over and pulling weeds.

Bai Ling couldn't recognize these thin-leaved plants, and thought they all looked the same: "What are these?"

Yu Chen touched the veins on the leaves and introduced them to him one by one: "This is narcissus, this is Christmas cactus, this is clematis, this is chives——"

Bai Ling thought he had heard it wrongly, "What is it?"

Yu Chen: "Leek, one of the ingredients in the pie you ate the day before yesterday."

Bai Ling watched him expressionlessly as he raised his knife and cut the leeks neatly. It always felt like déjà vu.

...Oh, that's what Isuparaiso did when they sent the disobedient alpha to the artificial moon to grow potatoes.

——The traditional art of mermaids.

Yu Chen wiped off the water droplets on the chive leaves and handed the whole bunch to him. Bai Ling walked out with the leeks in her arms, preparing to store them in the refrigerator.

When passing by the tulip bushes, I happened to run into the little robot.

The little robot came out from a hidden crossroads. Bai Ling plucked off the leaves on its head, and two hearts immediately appeared on its screen.

AI: "Thank you, little robot bird!"

Bai Ling smiled, looked at the direction it came from, and asked casually: "Is there anything over there too?"

"Yes, go through this path and go inside to the master's breeding room. There is a studio behind the breeding room. When the master's eyesight is good, he will do handicrafts there."

Bai Ling was secretly amazed. This place was really bigger than he had imagined, with unexplored areas popping up from time to time.

The little robot seemed to see what he was thinking and said enthusiastically: "I can take you there to have a look."

Never give up any opportunity to let the mechanical bird understand its owner.

It is such a powerful and responsible AI.

AI is moved by itself.

Walking through the cobblestone road lined with leaves, you can vaguely see a pure white roof. Considering that the greenhouse is at least four or five stories high, the cultivation room appears relatively small.

The little robot took Bai Ling to the window to look: "There are some rare and endangered plants in there. They are still in the cultivation stage, so they are kept in a constant temperature and humidity room for now."

"For example, that one is the owner's favorite wild rose."

The little robot pointed it out to him.

The light in the cultivation room was dim. Bai Ling looked over with his back to the light and could only see a few blurry flower buds. But for some reason, he was slightly distracted.

Bai Ling turned around and asked, "Yu Chen treats this flower as a treasure?"

AI: "Of course! The master won't even let me touch the leaves. He said the flowers are very delicate and my cold hands would damage the veins of the leaves. But the master does have a point. He has been growing this variety for so many years and has only grown a few pots."

Bai Ling exhaled again, wiped the glass, and tried his best to see: "It seems to be just an ordinary flower... Aren't there roses outside the greenhouse?"

The little robot shook its pliers in a pretentious manner: "No, those colorful 'roses' are actually Chinese roses. Florists often use them to impersonate roses."

"Roses bloom almost every month, but wild roses only bloom once a year."

"These roses have so many thorns that they can't be made into bouquets to give away. But their scent is much more intoxicating than the roses grown in the golden pot and jade soil with high filtration nutrient solution. The Encyclopedia of Roses says, 'The Damascus hybrid rose is a thorny beauty in the desert.'"

Bai Ling asked, "Damascus?"

The little robot nodded. "Yes, it belongs to a country called Syria on ancient Earth. When the master was young, he was sent to another planet and bought this small packet of seeds from a smuggler. Actually, the plants in this greenhouse are all seedlings he brought back from various places."

The Little Prince and the Mermaid, every planet has his flower.

Bai Ling's heart was filled with ripples, and he couldn't help but lean on the window and sniff gently. But the glass in the cultivation room was too thick and he couldn't smell the scent of the wild roses at all.

The little robot suggested: "This rose will only bloom in the next two days. We can wait until the owner falls asleep in the middle of the night and secretly take it out to admire it!"

"Why not take me with you?" a voice came out of nowhere.

The little robot: "Okay, you'll be on guard, and the mechanical bird and I will be in charge of—Gah!"

It let out a disorderly scream and the camera flew around, but it didn't dare to aim at Yu Chen who was walking out while pushing aside the grass.

Yu Chen: "Turn off the phone."

AI: "...Yes, sir."

The little robot crashed on the spot, and the little mechanical bird was captured on the spot by being led by the hand.

"Perhaps you would like to visit my craft room?"

Yu Chen's words were long and lingering, and he didn't allow anyone to refuse.

Bai Ling followed the mermaid through the lush bushes. The seeds grew into trees, and the little prince became an old emperor.

As a latecomer, he could enjoy the lushness of the forest without any worries.

Bai Ling quietly grabbed a handful of the thick and rich golden hair, pulled a strand down and wrapped it around his finger.

Yu Chen pushed open the door of the studio, Bai Ling looked inside, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

So many tools!

The shelves and walls are filled with all kinds of exquisite hand-made molds, welding guns, measuring rulers, and raw materials. It is simply the toy room that adults dream of.

"It just so happens that I also have something I want to give you as a return gift for the scrambled eggs." Yu Chen groped deep in the drawer.

Bai Ling knew that this old man brought him here for a purpose.

He was excited in his heart, but said coldly on the surface: "But you have already treated me to milk, you can't give me anything else."

Yu Chen smiled unabashedly and said, "Just think of this as the old bastard's trick. By the way, I'm already looking forward to the next bird gift."

His bird was instantly convinced.

Bai Ling: "Okay." He quietly raised the corners of his lips in front of the old blind man.

"Here..." Yu Chen muttered to himself, took out a simple wooden box, opened the clasp, and took out a thin chain from it.

It's a necklace, a necklace with a pearl.

pearl. Bai Ling's heart was beating like a drum. He tried his best to hide his nervousness and asked tentatively, "Whose pearl is this?"

Yu Chen tilted his head and thought for a moment: "Xiao Yi's."

Bai Ling bit her lips hard to prevent herself from laughing.

Yu Chen untied the platinum chain and hooked his finger at him. Bai Ling quickly moved her neck closer and held it close to his hand so that he could carefully adjust the length of the chain and tie it into a low-key clavicle chain that was neither loose nor tight.

Bai Ling tilted his neck and looked down. The pearl was not big, only 7 mm in size, a true small pearl.

But its base color is gray-blue and its luster is bright, like a clear moonlight falling on his collarbone.

Bai Ling asked quietly: "Why did you suddenly...give me such a valuable thing?"

He didn't believe it was to return the scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Yu Chen adjusted his collar and, after being slightly satisfied, he raised his lip and said, "You are going to report to another alpha, so of course I have to find ways to keep Xiaoniao's heart."

The mermaid tapped his nose with her long finger and said seriously:

"Take my little Pearl with you, and you can only fly back to eat my meal."

"Haha, you're so cute!" Bai Ling laughed and fell into his arms.
