This Little Cub is Overly Cute

Shi Nian is a cute little Omega cub. His favorite thing to do every day is to cuddle in his dad's arms with his little bear doll and then stare blankly at his dad's exquisite face with his ...

Chapter 77: Sense of Ritual (Part 2)

Shi Nian had an inexplicable intuition that what Nuobi and Xulin said had another meaning that only they knew, but the two of them refused to tell him what it meant.

Not getting an answer, Shi Nian became more and more curious. After returning to the room, he couldn't wait to use the newly repaired intelligent brain to search the interstellar encyclopedia.

#Are you troubled by what you are not able to do? Dr. Wei is here to serve you, please call... #

#The deeper meaning of "no", please understand the ignorant little A#

He read the entries one by one and flipped through the pages. His porcelain-white face gradually turned a thin layer of red. After he completely understood the meaning, he lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling with a look of sudden enlightenment, marveling at the profoundness of this language.

Shi Nian hugged the pillow, pressed her face against it, frowned slightly, and muttered to herself, "So... is it because my brother never succeeded in confessing his feelings, or is it because we haven't had sex, that Nuobi and Teacher Xulin think he's not good enough..."

He still doesn't quite understand it.

Of course, this question definitely cannot be asked to Yu Chen. According to his personality, he will definitely be angry and embarrassed no matter what the reason is. Shi Nian still has a certain understanding of her brother.

The interstellar fleet has entered the second galaxy and will be back to Plant in a dozen hours. Shi Nian can hardly hide his excitement as he is about to return to the place where he was born.

It was time to go to bed. Shi Nian's dark eyes were clear as she tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. Her thin pajamas were rolled up above her waist, revealing her slender, white and strong waist.

He suddenly remembered someone, reached out and picked up the intelligent computer on the cabinet, and sat up quickly.

After the intelligent computer was completely repaired, all the contact data was still there. Shi Nian placed her slender fingers on Azel's name, but did not click on it for a long time, her little face tightly frowned.

Azel was the person closest to him besides his family, but that was before. Now they hadn't been in touch for so many years. Shi Nian inevitably felt a sense of strangeness and didn't dare to call him.

But Shi Nian didn't want to become estranged from Azel, and for a moment he felt extremely conflicted. After a few seconds, he put the intelligent computer aside and buried his face in the pillow, rubbing it hard.

"call……"

Shi Nian, with his messy hair, prepared himself mentally before picking up the smart computer again. He clicked on Azel's name, turned up the volume to the maximum, threw it aside, and dived into the soft pillow like an ostrich.

“Drip…drip…drip…”

The sound of the intelligent computer dialing made Shi Nian's heart beat faster. Her watery eyes secretly glanced at the intelligent computer, and she couldn't help holding her breath waiting for the voice from the other end.

"Little Rose?"

Alpha's voice was no longer as youthful as it had been. It was now low, slow, and magnetic, with a mixture of obvious surprise and joy. He chuckled softly, "Is the intelligent brain repaired?"

When Shi Nian heard his voice, her heart trembled. The voice that she was familiar with in her youth had changed a little, but when she listened to it suddenly, she could still hear the familiar feeling.

He threw the intelligent computer out again, his fair face stained with a slight blush. He rubbed his face and slowly calmed himself down.

After regaining his composure, Shi Nian naturally picked up the AI, adjusted his position in the bed, and spoke to Azel sideways, "Hmm... How did you know my AI was broken?"

Aizel suddenly fell silent, and Shi Nian only heard that his breathing seemed to have become much heavier.

After waiting for a long time without any response from Azel, Shi Nian called out to him again in confusion, "Brother Azel?"

The boy's clear voice came through the intelligent computer screen. Ezel sat at the desk in front of the window, his slender fingers pressing on the corner of the page, and he was reluctant to turn the page. His gorgeous purple eyes seemed to be able to imagine the grown-up boy on the other side of the intelligent computer.

He said, "Your father told me."

Shi Nian turned over again and said in surprise, "Really? I thought my father wouldn't talk to you."

Shi Nian didn't know why, but every time Yu Luhan treated Azel, he was like a thief who would steal his treasure, even though Azel was obviously a very good brother.

Shi Nian had never been able to understand what Yu Luhan was thinking. Now that he heard that the two of them were talking, he couldn't help but feel a little hopeful. Could it be that his father had changed his mind about Brother Aizer?

Ezel listened to the rustling noises coming from Shi Nian's side and suddenly asked, "Are you in bed?"

"Yes." Shi Nian pulled the quilt, "It's night here, I guess I can come back tomorrow."

There was another long silence from Azel's end. Shi Nian couldn't help but shake his smart brain and complained softly, "...Why is there no sound again? Is the signal bad? It can't be broken again."

Ezel's voice finally rang out. "Sorry, I was lost in thought."

Shi Nian felt that Aizer was a little different today than before. He attributed this to the fact that they hadn't seen each other for a long time and said softly, "It's okay."

"You're returning to Plante with Yuan Yunqing's fleet at the military headquarters, correct?" Azel quickly determined Shi Nian's whereabouts. "I'm also now a member of the military headquarters, and I'm your father's student. The news of Marshal Yuan's return to Plante has already been relayed back to the military headquarters."

His words simultaneously resolved all the doubts in Shi Nian's mind.

Shi Nian opened his eyes wide when he heard this, and said in surprise, "You chose my father as a professor at your university?!"

Azel smiled and said, "Yeah, Uncle Yu is very strong."

"Did he give you any trouble?" Shi Nian knew his father was very powerful, but he also knew that Yu Luhan had some prejudice against Azel. He pursed his lips, his brows filled with worry. "If...if my father bullies you, you can tell me and I can go and persuade him."

Azel didn't say what Yu Luhan's attitude towards him was, "Okay, I will."

Shi Nian and Aizel chatted for nearly two hours, and the unfamiliar feeling of not seeing each other for several years disappeared without a trace. Aizel told Shi Nian in detail what had happened in Plant in recent years.

When talking to Shi Nian, Aizer spoke very softly, and his mellow and low voice revealed a bit of tenderness. As Shi Nian listened, his eyelids began to twitch, and he responded to him intermittently.

The sleepy Shi Nian's voice was also sticky, as if he was acting coquettishly. He was so sleepy that his consciousness was blurred. He vaguely heard Azel laugh twice, and then he fell into a complete dream.

On the other side, Yu Luhan couldn't get through to Shi Nian's smart brain no matter how hard he tried. He hugged Shi Yiyu beside him in frustration, "Who on earth has been talking to Xiao Meigui the whole time? His line is always busy."

Shi Yiyu was extremely sleepy. Knowing that Xulin and Yuchen had already reunited with Shi Nian, he was no longer worried about his safety. "Little Rose will be back tomorrow anyway. Go ask him yourself. Don't talk to me. I want to sleep."

Yu Luhan was pushed aside in disgust and became even more depressed.

The next day, when Nobby knocked on the door, he called him to get up. "Brother, we have returned to the First System. Hurry up and get ready to go home."

Shi Nian struggled to get out of bed and replied without opening her eyes, "Okay, I'm up."

He went to the bathroom, scooped up a handful of water and poured it on his face. The two small balls of mental power on his wrists turned red, and a crisp sound was made when they collided.

The cold water dispelled his sleepiness and his mind became clear. When Shi Nian was brushing his teeth, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to be communicating with Azel before he went to bed.

What happened next? Shi Nian's mind froze for a few seconds. She only remembered that he seemed to have fallen asleep directly, and the communication was still on.

Shi Nian hurriedly held the toothbrush in her mouth and looked under the quilt for the intelligent computer. After finding it, she opened the communication record from last night and looked at the five hours after the communication record in shock.

In addition, there were more than a dozen communications from Yu Luhan. Shi Nian immediately sent him a message, "Father, I fell asleep last night and didn't receive your message."

"It's okay." Yu Luhan was concerned about something else. "Who were you talking to last night that kept you awake so late?"

"With Brother Azel, Father, is Brother Azel your student?"

Yu Luhan guessed it was him, and his tone instantly changed from gentle to cold, "Yes, I will transfer him out of Plante later. Get as far away from me as possible."

Shi Nian was anxious: "Father!"

Yu Luhan said in a light tone, "It's just a joke."

But his tone didn't sound like he was joking.

Yu Luhan talked to Shi Nian for a while, "...Send us a message when you get there. Your father and I will be waiting for you at the military building."

Shi Nian: "Okay."

After finishing her chat with Yu Luhan, Shi Nian began to worry about the extra three hours.

Could it be that Ezel had been talking to himself for three hours before realizing that he had fallen asleep, so he hung up the phone in anger?

Shi Nian quickly ruled out this possibility, because Azel was used to chatting with him while he was talking, and it was impossible that he hadn't fallen asleep in three hours.

Thinking of Azel watching over him while he slept for three hours, Shi Nian blushed uncontrollably. He shouldn't talk in his sleep, right?

Shi Nian's anxiety was obvious to those around him. When he sat in the control room, he couldn't help but stare into space in a daze, with the expression on his face changing from time to time.

Nuobi and Xulin were still sitting on either side of Shi Nian, as if they had to have someone in between to live in harmony. At the same time, they also noticed Shi Nian's abnormality.

Nobby placed the small suitcase he was carrying under the seat, leaned over to look at the dazed Shi Nian, and waved his hand in front of him. "Brot?"

Shi Nian suddenly came back to her senses, "Well, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong with you?" Nobby tilted his head and turned to look at Yu Chen who was clinging to Yuan Yunqing in the control room. "You're just like him a few days ago."

Staring blankly for no apparent reason and behaving strangely.

Xulin put on the air of a life mentor and leaned back in his chair. "Come on, little one. If you have any questions, you can ask me. My rich social experience can give you some help."

Shi Nian glanced at him dimly, "So much social experience that you can't even tell the road apart?"

Xulin retreated awkwardly, "...pretending I didn't exist."

Shi Nian didn't plan to tell them about her communication with Aizer last night. She raised her eyes towards the main control room and saw Yu Chen hugging Yuan Yunqing affectionately through the glass.

Yu Chen's Plan B worked a little. In the past one or two days, Shi Nian saw that Yu Chen and Yuan Yunqing had become closer and they often hugged each other.

Without exception, all of them were initiated by Yu Chen.

Whenever Yuan Yunqing showed an angry or impatient expression, Yu Chen would look very sad.

Shi Nian remembered seeing Yu Chen wipe away the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes after being rejected by Yuan Yunqing. "Okay, you're just fed up with me. You didn't blame me when I was younger, but now you want to hit me. Do you just like younger people?"

Shi Nian: "..."

When Shi Nian heard these words full of resentment for the first time, he was stunned. The image of a tough guy that Yu Chen had built for him for many years completely collapsed at this moment.

But Yuan Yunqing was very fond of this trick. Normally, when Yu Chen said this, he would definitely explain, "I didn't do it. Don't think too much."

Yu Chen nodded readily and shamelessly reached out to hug him, "Okay, then give it to me."

Generally speaking, Yuan Yunqing would just let him do what he wanted.

Gradually, Shi Nian began to accept Yu Chen's two sides, and also agreed with his Plan B. As expected, there is no one who cannot be pursued, only the wrong method.

But Yu Chen's appearance gave Shi Nian a momentary sense of déjà vu. Looking at Yu Chen acting coquettishly towards Yuan Yunqing once again, another person appeared in his mind, "Uncle-in-law?"

In his impression, Morpheus was just like this, crying and begging Shi Yichu for kisses and hugs, and it turned out to be very useful.

Nobby followed his gaze and saw Yu Chen and Yuan Yunqing, then shook his head. "They're much more reliable than those two Morpheus guys. Well, at least Yuan Yunqing is still very reliable. Ani and Morpheus...tsk."

Shi Nian continued to ask curiously, "What happened to them?"

Nobby sighed, picked up his bag and searched for something in it, saying, "I can only say, they are a perfect match."

The interstellar mothership has entered Plant's atmosphere. Shi Nian held on to the handrail, waiting for the few minutes of turbulence to pass.

The starship slowed down and stopped at the berth in the center of the four buildings. The elevator fell down with a loud bang and entered the underground starship weapons depot.

Shi Nian noticed that Nuobi took out a ball of gray-brown plastic from his bag and used a small air pump to inflate it. When the ball of plastic was fully expanded, he realized that it was an inflatable doll costume in the shape of a dinosaur.

Shi Nian couldn't help but ask, "What is this?"

"Life should be full of rituals." Nobby said as he took out another shrunken doll costume from his bag and gave it to Shi Nian. "Wear it out later, it will be so interesting."

Shi Nian looked at the doll costume on her knees and felt a little moved.

With the help of Nobby's air pump, Shi Nian's dinosaur dolls were completed in a short while. They got into the dinosaur suits, and two funny Tyrannosaurus Rex came out.

Xulin chuckled, reached out and pinched the two little paws in front of Shi Nian, and said, trying not to laugh, "Very cool, super cool."

Shi Nian jumped for joy.

The door of the starship was about to open. Shi Nian and Nobi were standing in the front. Yu Chen reached out to pinch their dinosaur tails. Shi Nian was worried that he would pull them off, so she shook her tail to avoid his hand.

Yu Chen kept pulling at him. Shi Nian, unable to bear it any longer, hid behind Yuan Yunqing, resting her dinosaur head on his shoulder, "Just take care of him."

Yuan Yunqing patted Yu Chen's hand as he extended it again, "Stop messing around."

Yu Chen withdrew his hand: "Okay."

There was no threat to Tail, so Shi Nian focused on looking for familiar people in the crowd. After a while, he saw Shi Yiyu, Yu Luhan, and... two other dinosaurs.

Shi Yiyu was speechless about the dinosaur that always harassed him, so he simply switched places with Yu Luhan. The dinosaur immediately turned around in disgust and half leaned on the other dinosaur.

When you see this, you can roughly guess their identities: uncle and uncle-in-law.

After the door opened, Nobby couldn't wait to pull her suitcase towards the two dinosaurs, bumping into one and pushing the other away.

Now, Zi Shi Nian was even more certain of his guess.

Xulin leaned against the door, looking at the three dinosaurs running around the hall, and sighed, "I'm not afraid of too many idiots, I'm just afraid of a bunch of idiots. No one should look down on others."

Hiding under the heavy doll costume, Shi Nian happily trotted to find Shi Yiyu and Yu Luhan. When he saw their puzzled expressions, he became playful and rushed straight towards them.

But Shi Nian was not proficient in controlling the doll costume. While running, she suddenly stepped on her own doll's tail. She only had time to let out a short scream before her body suddenly lost balance.

Seeing that it was about to hit the ground, Shi Nian closed her eyes in fear, hoping that the dinosaur suit was thick enough so that it wouldn't hurt if she fell.

At this moment, an arm grabbed his waist and pulled his entire body back, causing his head to hit the hard chest muscles, making Shi Nian feel dizzy.

After he stood firmly, he took off his hood and shook his head. His eyes, which were shining with golden light, finally regained their sight, allowing him to see clearly who was supporting him.

The tall Alpha has deep and three-dimensional facial features, and the exquisite feeling brought by his mixed-race is contained between his eyebrows. The solemn military uniform he wears makes his whole temperament look serious and cold, but his eyes like purple gems reveal obvious tenderness.

Shi Nian stared at him intently, her tongue tied. "Ai, Brother Aizel?"

The corners of Aizel's lips curled up, looking at Shi Nian who had just reached his shoulder, and touched his hair. "Well, I said I could pick you up today."
