By evening, the two little ones had become Luo Ning's little shadows, following her wherever she went.
But when she looked down at the little tails, they all pretended nothing had happened. When she looked away, the little tails would secretly look at her again, like two little sunflowers following the sun.
Luo Ning couldn't help but chuckle. It seemed that the two children's personalities were like Lu Xinghe's, because she wasn't shy at all; she would express her feelings directly if she liked someone.
Moreover, Lu Xinghe stayed by their side the whole time. When he took off his uniform, he was less cold and more gentle, and he would say a few words to her from time to time, like a gentle spring breeze and a soft rain, nourishing things silently.
At 7 p.m., the people from the Genetics Department brought them food. Luo Ning's food was blood, while the twins' food was half blood and half human food.
"They can eat?" Luo Ning was somewhat shocked.
"They can eat, and they have a good appetite." Lu Xinghe said as he handed the food to the little ones, and the two children obediently fed themselves with their own spoons.
They can not only eat human food, but they also eat it willingly, although they are still young and spill half of it after eating a spoonful.
Looking at them, Luo Ning thought of how some parents used to say that not being able to accompany their children as they grew up was a very sad thing. Now she also understood. She had missed a year in the role of a mother.
“Come on, let me… Mommy feed you,” Luo Ning said affectionately, gradually shifting her identity.
The two brothers, who were eating, looked up at her, then at their father. After their father nodded in agreement, they both handed their spoons to Luo Ning.
Luo Ning was busy feeding one person with a spoon and then another, her hands and feet a little flustered. Lu Xinghe smiled and then picked up one to help feed, which made Luo Ning feel a little more relaxed.
Just after dinner, Wenxi brought her daughter over for a visit. When Yuanyou and Yuanyan saw them, Yuanyan ran over and held Xiaoxiao's hand affectionately, while Yuanyou quietly played with his toys, but his eyes couldn't help but look at his older sister and younger brother. Xiaoxiao very sensibly went over and pulled Yuanyou to play with her, acting like a very big sister.
Luo Ning looked at Wen Xi, who didn't ask if she remembered her. She simply suggested that if the weather was nice in a few days, they could take the children out for a walk together. Luo Ning readily agreed. She felt that Wen Xi had a gentle and kind personality and was very comfortable to be around. She just didn't know who her husband was.
At 8:30, Wen Xi was about to leave with the child when Lu Xinghe followed her out, saying, "Wen Xi, wait a moment."
Wen Xi turned around: "What's wrong?"
“Du Lu will be back after he completes this mission,” Lu Xinghe said.
"Hmm." Wen Xi responded softly, then turned and left without saying anything more.
Lu Xinghe watched her retreating figure. She seemed to never care about Du Lu's life or death. Everyone said that she had no feelings for Du Lu, and that everything that happened between her and Du Lu in the past was just for survival. Even Du Lu thought so.
Back in their room, the two first put the child to sleep, and then tidied up the room together. Lu Xinghe washed the dishes in the kitchen, while Luo Ning tidied up the toys, showing a natural understanding between them.
At nine o'clock in the evening, after tidying everything up, Lu Xinghe prepared to leave and told her to get some rest.
“I’m right next door. Just call me if you need anything,” Lu Xinghe said, placing his hand on the doorknob.
Luo Ning nodded: "Okay, see you tomorrow."
Lu Xinghe turned the doorknob, then opened the door and left.
After washing up, Luo Ning hugged her two children and went to bed. The little ones naturally snuggled up to her, sleeping soundly and softly.
But she couldn't fall asleep no matter what she did. Looking at the furnishings in the room, she felt a vague sense of familiarity, especially when she saw the cabinet. Some images flashed through her mind, as if she had once rested in such a cabinet.
Over the next two days, Luo Ning grew closer to the two children and quickly adapted to everything there.
On the fourth day, after waking up, Luo Ning looked at the clear blue sky and immediately felt refreshed. Considering that her two children were so old but had not seen much of the outside world, she decided to go out and see the sights together today.
Lu Xinghe and An Yuan did not object. Crescent Island is now very safe. Even if alien creatures climb up from the sea, it will be difficult for them to harm the humans.
Luo Ning carried one on her back, while Lu Xinghe rode on one of her shoulders. The two little ones curiously looked at the scenery on both sides of the road.
Upon arriving at the beach, Yuan You was filled with astonishment at what he saw, and Yuan Yan kept pointing at the waves and praising them. However, no one dared to let them get too close to the sea, lest the strange sea turtle attack incident from a year ago occur again. So they stayed on the rocks and enjoyed the scenery.
"Make sure no exotic sea turtles get near, so the children can play happily," Luo Ning muttered, clasping her hands together. The two little ones followed suit.
Lu Xinghe couldn't help but chuckle: "Let's believe in science, okay? There are no gods in this world."
Luo Ning quickly told him to speak softly: "Don't say that. Children can understand. Don't ruin the fairy tale in their hearts."
Lu Xinghe wanted to say that the little ones hadn't read any fairy tale books yet, so how could they have fairy tales? But seeing her serious expression, he swallowed his words.
Then, as he walked to the edge of the reef to keep watch, he suddenly noticed something was wrong with the sea.
The strange fish in the sea were swimming in circles, then moving away in circles, like a huge concentric circle that had been cut in half.
The others were also puzzled, as they had not seen such a scene in the six months they had been on the island.
Luo Ning was also surprised when she saw this scene. The fish seemed to be receiving some kind of instruction and were moving away from here in an orderly manner.
“I remember now. During last year’s beast tide, satellites captured similar images of alien species moving in concentric circles. Our department analyzed that the beast tide started to change direction from these concentric circles. Now the same thing is happening here, there must be some connection,” an exogenous researcher said excitedly.
Lu Xinghe immediately asked, "Are you sure?"
“Confirmed. We still have the satellite coordinates. It’s located two kilometers south of the transit airport on our way here.” The researcher took out his laptop and found the photos from that time.
After seeing the detailed location map taken by the satellite, Lu Xinghe immediately recognized the spot where Luo Ning had left her mark.
"When was this taken?" he asked excitedly.
The researcher looked at the time on the picture: "3:02 PM on April 2nd."
Lu Xinghe was shocked because he had contacted Luo Ning around 1 p.m. that day. Luo Ning said she was going to rescue Wen Xi and was heading due south. This concentric circle of different species was located at the place she had marked.
He seemed to have thought of something, but was that possible? Could there be beings in this world that could control mindless alien species?
Everyone was discussing this strange sight, and Luo Ning was also amazed by it all. Only Yuan You and Yuan Yan were happily laughing because they had found an ugly stone.
"Luo Ning, try to get these fish to leave immediately," Lu Xinghe said.
"Huh? How do I make them leave?" Luo Ning asked, puzzled.
"Just like you did just now."
"You don't think I made these fish swim like this, do you? It's impossible that they're not here. That involves theology." Luo Ning felt that Lu Xinghe was a bit naive. He had just been trying to convince her to believe in science.
But Lu Xinghe still told him to try again. The others looked at him in confusion, and Luo Ning could only silently pray to herself.
But the fish didn't move; it continued to circle at a steady pace and then swim away.
“They’re still here,” Luo Ning said.
Lu Xinghe squatted down by the rocks, observing the fish: "Be more attentive, just like before."
Luo Ning sensed that he wasn't joking, and when she first saw the satellite image, it seemed somewhat familiar, so she calmed down and silently read it aloud.
The two little ones next to them saw their mother doing this and started to imitate her again, just like her.
In less than ten seconds, the fish suddenly moved their fins and tails, speeding away and creating countless white waves on the sea surface. Even the whale in the distance rolled over a huge wave and sank into the deep sea.
"What... what's going on? Do I have mind control abilities?" Luo Ning stared at everything in shock. The novel didn't involve any theology, and the author's settings could all be explained scientifically. There was no reason why she would become a myth after transmigrating into the novel.
“It’s not you, it’s you and your two children,” An Yuan said as he walked over and watched the whole thing.
Luo Ning immediately looked at Yuan You and Yuan Yan, and sure enough, she saw their little hands clasped together, babbling something in baby talk.
“This isn’t mind control, but rather brainwave induction by alien species. Aliens are much more sensitive than humans; they can receive wavelengths that we humans cannot perceive. Just like the sonic device used to expel winged aliens, these fish are also being expelled. But for some reason, it has to be the three of you, mother and children,” An Yuan added.
“Luo Ning was already pregnant when this satellite image was taken,” Lu Xinghe said.
"So it's progesterone?" An Yuan frowned.
"It could be for other reasons, but if I'm not mistaken, the range of this influence isn't very large because the wavelengths produced by the human body aren't very strong," Han Ling added.
An Yuan nodded: "It's possible. The experiment has a new direction."
Listening to their discussion, Luo Ning touched her head, looked at Yuan You and Yuan Yan, and still found it particularly amazing.
"If this wave can drive away the alien species, can it also attract them?" Lu Xinghe asked. If they could attract the alien species, it would greatly speed up the backtracking process, instead of them having to risk driving the alien species together.
He looked at Luo Ning, who immediately replied, "Let's give it a try."
She first told her idea to the two little ones. The little ones seemed not to understand, but they still did it very meticulously. And the fish in the sea really did swim back from afar.
The atmosphere in the crowd exploded instantly, with disbelief and awe in everyone's eyes. Even the staunch materialists felt as if humanity had been divinely aided.
Back in the lab, Luo Ning and the child underwent detailed brain examinations, and then wore a detector to capture brainwave patterns.
Luo Ning looked at the equipment on the heads of the mother and her two children and couldn't help but burst into laughter, which made Yuan You and Yuan Yan laugh along with her.
"Yuan Yan, don't pull the wire with your hands, it will break it." Lu Xinghe said to the mischievous Yuan Yan. Just then, his communicator received a message from the medical officer of the planting department, which was a batch of retrospective human data.
