Chapter 68 Chapter 68 You are so handsome, let’s talk about it.

After the eldest son was born in Canaan, he adapted well and was raised in an outdoor area specially set up by the research institute for snowfield animals.

At first, it was very reluctant to let other people approach it. It only recognized the deer and would not eat anything unless it passed through his hands.

Now, a week later, the bear cub has gradually adapted to the remote feeding by other keepers. It has grown a little bigger, its fur has become more fluffy, and when it runs on the snow, it looks like a ball of pure white cream.

With its cute appearance, the ability to eat a lot, eat well and eat quickly, it has become the most popular animal baby in the entire institute.

Many keepers who were not raising cubs almost had fights every day over who would feed the cubs.

The two who quarreled the most fiercely were Fang Yi and Zhang Mu, who once boasted that "good brothers leave together, whoever asks for leave first is a dog."

As the two keepers of the newly released animal cubs, they should have taken a nice vacation and waited for the New Year holiday. However, they took one more look at the bear cubs that had just landed in the snow and could not take their eyes away from them ever since.

In the words of those two people, if they could not raise this teddy bear, some of their inner cultivation and good qualities would be destroyed.

In the office, Lu Zhiluan was holding a black stone and tapping on it with a small chisel and hammer.

On the left, Zhang Mu placed his hands respectfully on his legs and spoke earnestly, "Doctor Lu, believe me, have you seen Er Pang's plump body? I fed him all by myself."

On the right, Fang Yi's eyes were determined: "But, today it's my turn."

Being stared at by two strong eyes, Lu Zhiluan felt a little scared even if he was not distracted. He put down the awl in his hand and sighed silently, "Is there a possibility that the two of you can feed it together? It can eat eight meals a day. Is there any point in you fighting for this one or half a meal?"

"Yes!" they said in unison.

Zhang Mu insisted: "Anyway, you have to choose one of us who is the most trustworthy and can take the best care of the eldest son."

I don't know who first spread this name, but now everyone calls him the eldest son of the Turquoise Bear Cub.

The news spread before Lu Zhiluan even had time to stop it.

"Tell me, Dr. Lu, who do you choose?"

At this moment, Fang Yi and Zhang Mu were like two naive children, insisting that the teacher tell who was the best.

Lu Zhiluan had no intention of getting involved in the dispute between his two long-time buddies. As he was thinking, a name suddenly flashed through his mind that could quickly end this game.

"I choose Admiral Jing."

Fang Yi: “…”

Zhang Mu: “…”

There is no excuse, it's hateful, and I lost.

Just then, Zhuo Lan's voice was heard outside the door, "What are you choosing?" He pushed open the half-closed door and walked in. Because he arrived late, he only heard Lu Zhilan's last words.

Zhuo Lan went to the research institute every day this week, whether he had something to do or not, and joined the team that fed the eldest son. Then he became familiar with Fang Yi and the others.

"Let Doctor Lu choose who is the most trustworthy person for the bear cub." Zhang Mu omitted the beginning and the end, not mentioning that this was a childish game he and Fang Mu played to feed the bear cub. Doctor Lu's mention of the title of admiral was equivalent to mentioning the dean of studies. In short, the meaning changed and yet it seemed the same.

Anyway, when it came to Zhuolan's ears, the meaning was different.

He thought about it, picked up his laptop and sent a message to his good brother who was far away. The words were vague, but it made people think a lot.

[Be happy, Dr. Lu's first choice is you. ]

Jing Miao: [? ]

After sending the message, Adjutant Zhuo didn't care about the other party's reaction. He put away his laptop and sat down on the sofa.

"Don't you two take a vacation?" The dark male ghost envied those who could take a vacation.

Ever since the incident with the Nameless Star, Jing Miao seemed to have gone crazy, as if he had returned to his teens when he was extremely jealous of star pirates. He wanted to capture all the star pirates in the entire star field, and he would go out on patrol with his guard team every few days, leaving the affairs of the alliance to him.

Compared to catching star pirates, dealing with those old-fashioned people in the Alliance is more troublesome.

The old-fashioned people also don't like working with Zhuo Lan, thinking that he is not tough enough. Therefore, during Jing Miao's patrol, both sides are in dire straits, and they desperately hope that the star pirates will quickly turn over a new leaf and not be caught by Jing Miao again.

Hearing Zhuo Lan's question, Fang Yi shook his head and replied, "No, I will be on annual leave soon, and there are only a few days left before the February celebration. I will take a break after the celebration holiday."

Zhang Mu: Me too. "

Zhuo Lan was envious. He noticed Lu Zhiluan holding a black object and carving it. He asked curiously, "What is Dr. Lu carving?"

Lu Zhiluan lowered his eyes, his hands moving constantly, and took the time to answer: "Insect stone carving."

Fang Yi: "I know this. Soft stone carvings are very popular on the Star Network recently. After the carving is done, it is placed in the fire and baked. When it comes out of the oven, it will change color and hardness. Some are fragile, while others can be heirlooms. Recently, some young couples are using this as a test of their relationship, such as the loyalty and purity of love."

Zhang Mu grasped the key words, "Wait a minute, so, Dr. Lu has someone he likes, who is this gift for?"

Three pairs of eyes turned to him at the same time, as if they were determined to get to the bottom of the matter.

Lu Zhiluan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and explained, "I carved it for my cat to play with."

Zhuo Lan looked at the two uncarved black worm stones under his feet and said thoughtfully: "Little Coal Ball is quite greedy. He plays with three at once."

Lu Zhiluan paused and said, "No, there will be a new member joining the family soon."

"Huh? Is it some small animal?" Zhang Mu asked.

Lu Zhiluan's eyes softened: "It's a beautiful little cat named Marshmallow."

"Speaking of cats, I have some invitations to a private pet park. Do you want to go?" Zhuo Lan finally remembered the purpose of his visit.

Fang Yi took the beautifully crafted invitation letter he handed over and read it carefully. He was surprised to see the address on it and said, "Pet Park? Is it the place with the giant cat-shaped buildings next to the main area?"

Zhuo Lan nodded: "That's it."

Fang Yi: "Wow, I heard this place is very interesting, it's almost like a fairy tale world, the owner of the park even keeps many kinds of rare animals inside, and it's not open to the public all year round."

Zhang Mu took one of the cards and said, "Then I have to take my dog ​​out to see the world."

Zhuo Lan handed the remaining invitations to Lu Zhiluan: "Here, if there are other friends who want to go, you can bring them along."

He knew that Dr. Deer would not refuse all activities with small animals.

Sure enough, Lu Zhiluan did not refuse.

The things were delivered, and Zhuo Lan stood up to say goodbye, preparing to feed his eldest son before returning to the alliance. The only way to heal himself from this miserable day at work was to watch some small animals eating live.

The feeding trio immediately reached a consensus and walked towards the outdoor area arm in arm.

Soon, Lu Zhiluan was the only one left in the office.

The system sighed: "It's great that there are so many people helping. I believe that it won't be long before the eldest son grows up healthily."

Lu Zhiluan: “…” Why do you also call him the eldest son?

Thinking of the approaching day, Lu Zhiluan couldn't help but speed up the carving. The worm stone was picked up by him when he and Jing Miao went to see the worm hole a few days ago.

Originally, he was just curious about what the insect stone everyone was looking for was, but he unexpectedly picked up three pieces by accident. He brought them back and searched on the Star Network, and found that the price of roasted insect stone was not low. The texture was between mountain jade and diamond, and the purity was low and high. In other words, it was very similar to the gambling stones in the conventional cognition.

Following the online tutorial, Lu Zhiluan spent an entire afternoon carving in the office before he carved the three pieces of insect stone into rough shapes, three crooked cat heads. The next step was to send them to a professional organization for baking, and they would be ready in about seven days.

After all the busy work, it was already dark outside. He rubbed his sore wrist, picked up his coat from the sofa and put it on, preparing to go see the bear cubs and then go home.

When he picked up the laptop on the table, he found that Jing Miao had sent him a message half an hour ago, asking him if he had returned home.

Lu Zhiluan lowered his head to reply to the message, but before he sent it, there was a knock on the door. He turned around and saw Jing Miao standing at the door.

There was a flash of surprise in Lu Zhiluan's eyes, as if he didn't expect the man to appear here.

He walked over and asked, "Why are you here? Didn't you say you were going to the Starship Terminal to carry out a mission?"

Jing Miao said calmly: "The mission ended ahead of schedule."

In fact, he was eager to return home, and he dealt with the star pirates who were still resisting with a crushing force, and then hurried back without stopping.

Just because of the ambiguous message sent by Zhuo Lan.

The moment I received it, my usually calm and composed thoughts became a mess, followed by my heart beating violently.

After calming down, Jing Miao quickly realized what was going on.

Given that person's gentle and reserved personality, it is unlikely that he would express his thoughts so frankly in front of others.

Most likely, Zhuo Lan heard something and exaggerated the story.

Even so, he still had obvious emotional ups and downs because of this sentence, and he couldn't help but rush back just to confirm it again.

After seeing the person in person, I felt inexplicably at peace. No matter whether it was true or false, the look in his eyes looking at me would not lie.

Jing Miao's eyes fell on Lu Zhiluan's slightly twisted wrist, and his brows furrowed: "What's wrong with your hand?"

Lu Zhiluan moved his fingers and put his hands behind his back, "It's okay."

After closing the office door, the two walked out side by side.

Lu Zhiluan tilted his head and asked, "General, have you had dinner yet?"

Jing Miao paused and said in a deep voice: "Not yet."

"Let's have dinner together later. We'll go see the bear cub first."

"good."

In the snow, the furry little bear was lying on his back, holding an apple in his hands and chewing it with relish.

Smelling two familiar scents approaching, he rolled over and climbed up, then ran over like a puppy and threw himself into Lu Zhiluan's arms.

Lu Zhiluan picked up the bear cub and weighed it. "It seems to have grown a little bit after not seeing it for a day."

Jing Miao stood behind him, secretly glancing at the pile of food on the snow not far away, and said calmly: "Besides eating and sleeping, the speed of growing meat is indeed much faster than other animals."

The bear cub let out a low cry, as if expressing his dissatisfaction with what he said.

Lu Zhiluan couldn't help laughing. He stroked the little bear's soft head soothingly and said softly, "Eat more so you can grow up quickly and return to your parents sooner. A bear alone in an unfamiliar environment will feel very uneasy."

Jing Miao turned his head slightly and looked at Lu Zhiluan. The frost and snow on the ground and the light from the distance reflected on the young man's profile. His fair skin was as shiny as white porcelain. His eyebrows were drooping, with a faint smile on the corners of his lips. The emotions in his eyes were hidden under his long eyelashes. No one knew what he was thinking.

Jing Miao's eyes dimmed, and he slowly tightened his hands in his pockets, rubbing his knuckles gently.

After the system examined the little bear, Lu Zhiluan played with it for a while before leaving the institute.

The two found a place outside to have dinner.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Jing Miao sent Lu Zhiluan to his doorstep.

After getting off the Star Shuttle, Lu Zhiluan rubbed his wrist unconsciously and said to Jing Miao, "Then I'll go up first."

"Wait." Jing Miao called him.

Although Lu Zhiluan looked a little confused, he still stopped and stood where he was.

Jing Miao got off the Star Shuttle, walked up to him, and said in a tone that did not allow for argument, "Give me your hand."

Lu Zhiluan did as he was told, and the man immediately held his wrist. The warm light from the therapist penetrated into his skin, relieving the soreness in his muscles very well.

He raised his eyes gently, his gaze sweeping across the man's stern brows. Normally, he always looked at people with a bit of coldness, so much so that when Yuanyuan saw the photo for the first time, he didn't dare to look him in the eye. Now, they were only a few feet apart, but he didn't feel the slightest sense of oppression. Lu Zhiluan blinked and looked at the man in front of him recklessly.

It's amazing.

Even the dullest person could sense someone staring at him like that.

Especially when the other person is someone you care about.

Jing Miao's eyes flickered slightly, and he tried his best to restrain himself and finish the task at hand first.

After a few minutes, the light of the therapy device slowly dimmed and went out.

Jing Miao turned off the treatment device and tried to be as gentle as possible. He pressed with his fingertips to check if there was anything that had been overlooked. The wrist bones in the palm of his hand were slender and easy to hold. Due to his cold-sensitive constitution, his skin felt cool to the touch.

After pressing it a few times, Lu Zhiluan didn't show any reaction of pain. Instead, he remained very quiet, his eyes still on his face, as if he was confirming something.

Jing Miao's mind moved slightly, and he raised his eyes, looking straight at Lu Zhiluan.

An ambiguous and charming atmosphere lingered around them; the noisy sounds in their ears faded away, and the only thing that seemed to echo clearly was the sound of each other's heartbeats.

A few seconds seemed to be stretched infinitely.

Jing Miao looked at him intently, his Adam's apple moving up and down, and he leaned slightly, slowly approaching...

Lu Zhiluan stood there without moving, his beautiful eyes flashing with tiny lights, his clear pupils were like a lake, completely reflecting his appearance.

At the moment when their lips were about to touch, Lu Zhiluan's eyelashes trembled, and he came to his senses. He just turned his head to avoid it, and only his cheek touched it. He raised his hand and placed it on Jing Miao's chest to create a little distance. His ears turned red and he didn't dare to raise his head. "I'm sorry, give me a little more time, I..."

Jing Miao stopped, raised his hand and rubbed his hair, his tone was full of infinite tenderness and tolerance, "It's okay, it's late, go up."

"Good night."

Lu Zhiluan fled back upstairs and stood by the window, watching the star shuttle take off and turn into a stream of light and disappear into the horizon.

Even with the curtains closed, my face was still terribly hot, and my cheeks could still feel the soft touch of someone brushing against them.

The system said faintly: "Did you kiss or not?"

Lu Zhiluan was startled by the sound and stuttered a little when he spoke, "You, you can see it too?"

System: "You can't see it. I have a green harmony mode, which absolutely guarantees the privacy of the host. However, your brain waves are so active now, and the frequency is different from that of eating melons. Combined with the fact that Admiral Jing just left, I can probably guess a little."

Lu Zhiluan: “…”

The gossiping system took over: "Are you two still not together? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the admiral has obvious feelings for you, and you like him too, so why don't you start a relationship?"

Lu Zhiluan was hit in the heart, and his confidence was obviously lacking: "It's not that easy to fall in love."

The system really doesn't understand the twists and turns of human emotions. According to its understanding, if you like each other, you can stay together. What else is there to consider? "You are just worried that you will leave after the task is completed. Wouldn't it be fine to break up then? Many people are like this. It doesn't matter who leaves."

Lu Zhiluan turned a deaf ear to it.

The system becomes a repeater.

"You're so handsome, let's talk."

"If you miss this opportunity, you will miss this shop. Let's talk about it."

After being nagging for the entire night, Lu Zhiluan was brainwashed by the voice of "Let's talk about it" in his dreams.

I successfully woke up late the next day.

It's not like he won't talk, he's just not ready yet.
