Chapter 150: Where? Look at the child
"One hour, 59 minutes and 31 seconds is not long," Anushka said.
Shi Cunjin looked at her carefully for a few seconds, but couldn't tell what Anushka's condition was. "Okay."
He took a few steps forward, pushed aside the heavy silk curtains and gauze drapes, and the dim night was gently split open by his white hands. More warm light leaked into the cold and lonely balcony, forming a golden carpet that stretched from the room to the stone handrail.
Shi Cunjin stood on this side and Anushka half-squatted on the other side.
"Come in first." Shi Cunjin said. The bright and soft lights of the hotel caressed him in a flickering manner.
The lovers' eyes were like silver, and the tender care in them was more deadly than love. Anushka's nictitating membrane that protected his eyeballs did not react to this silent attack. He faced this real gaze that contained tender emotions.
Anushka stretched out her four wings and paused for a few seconds before retracting her scaly wings into her armed muscles. A thought flashed through her mind: the five senses configuration of holographic communication is like insect shit.
He stepped down from the stone railing and changed his third answer temporarily. His lips moved: "Yeah. A little cold."
"Did A567 have an eyelid cramp just now?" the system whispered in Shi Cunjin's ear.
"…The room is kept at a constant temperature. I'll pour you some wine later. You'll feel better after drinking it." Shi Cunjin decided to be tolerant of Anushka's unskilled show of weakness.
He was trying his best to learn something, and Shi Cunjin really couldn't bear to crush his perseverance in learning, as it would make him feel like kicking a puppy.
"I checked all the surveillance footage before I came down. Where are you hiding?" Shi Cunjin said, "I'm really surprised and happy."
"The fence below the balcony. I used a trick of changing the order of wing scales to adjust the body temperature and fool most dual-sensor monitors on the market. It's the chief's specialty, and few rovers have mastered it. I'm the only one on this planet who can hang your balcony." Anushka walked in. The racial characteristics in reality made him cautious and unfamiliar.
But Shi Cunjin did not stop, he took the initiative to go forward and gave him a hug, smiling and said: "You are still a genius as always."
Anushka's whiskers were straightened and curled up into her messy blonde hair, clinging tightly to her scalp.
They quietly enjoyed the hug.
"I need to replenish some water. I was in a meeting with the company bugs all the way here and didn't have time to pay attention. Please feel free to sit for a while. Do you want ice or hot wine?" Shi Cunjin patted Anushka's arm, indicating that they wanted to hug each other to end.
“All is fine,” Anushka said.
He stood away and watched Shi Cunjin take off his coat, take off his holster belt, and walk around the room. Anushka stared at Shi Cunjin's back for a while, then looked away to look somewhere else.
This suite was similar in specifications to the one he was staying in, and was similar to any other hotel he had stayed in before, either for a short break or a long break: brand new and luxurious, with expensive drinks and food arranged in a gorgeous array on the table, the room was warm, the scent soothed insects, the space was spacious, and it had everything one could expect.
But this suite looked more comfortable than his.
His lover walked around the room, their feet rubbing softly against the plush carpet, the sound of closets opening and closing, the rustling of hangers, and so on. There was another presence moving in the big house.
The emptiness and silence that Anushka had been accustomed to for many years was being dispelled by another real existence, and Anushka suddenly felt that this kind of cookie-cutter suite had become crowded.
The room was filled with invisible love. Anushka had no idea where to go and could only stand there stiffly.
Shi Cunjin simply packed up and changed his clothes, then chose some wine from the wine cabinet in the suite. White wine was too polite and friendly, champagne was too social, whiskey was not suitable for tonight's chat, so red wine was just right.
He took out two wine glasses from the display cabinet and randomly picked up a few fruits that looked like oranges from the fruit basket. When he came back, Anushka was still standing there.
Shi Cunjin:?
You're standing in military posture in your room late at night?
A very new habit for military wives.
"Are there nails on the sofa?" Shi Cunjin said with a smile, raising his fingers holding two high-heeled glasses and motioning Anushka to sit over.
Anushka did not move and said, “I brought a gift.”
"I'm looking forward to it." said Shi Cunjin.
He put his glass aside and prepared himself to remain calm even if Anushka brought out a bouquet of flowers with only stems left.
But, unexpectedly.
Anushka was carrying a translucent box on her back. It was not big, but square, and contained a bunch of double-petaled flowers that looked like roses.
The petals are layered in a gradient of white, light pink, bright pink, and dark pink. The flowers are crowded together like pink clouds, dazzling and eye-catching.
The center of the flower is strange, a deep red fern, long and curled, like a butterfly's mouthparts. A subtle golden light can be seen between the double petals.
Shi Cunjin couldn't help but ask: "Is that a villain?"
The fresh and juicy exotic rose was faintly shining with golden light under its petals. Shi Cunjin was sure that he was not mistaken, as there were several little people with dragonfly wings on their backs in the flower.
The little thumb man peeked out from among the petals, occasionally flapping his wings and dropping golden powder, just like the little goblins that often appear in fantasy movies in Ji Shi Cun Jin's memory.
“Yeah,” Anushka responded.
He placed the translucent tactical box on the coffee table and after a few operations, the glass of the box disappeared. Shi Cunjin then realized that the glass was actually a special windproof technology and not a real object.
During this period, Shi Cunjin had learned a lot about Zerg common sense and some military equipment on the market. He was a little skeptical: "You use a dialysis box for biological weapons to store flowers?"
Anushka: "This one contains healing kits, not poison gas. I got this empty box from the military warehouse. These flowers are semi-living, they can only be stored in this type of box."
Shi Cunjin decided not to ask about the style. He touched the petals with his fingers, and the gold powder on his fingertips seemed to be real. He exclaimed: "It's amazing."
They sat down, and Anushka placed the flower between them. The thumb fairies hid themselves, but a few pairs of glittering dragonfly wings could not be hidden, and their tips were exposed outside the flower, trembling slightly and shaking off the gold powder.
Anushka: "The gentlemen I escorted took a detour to see several scenic planets, one of which was a newly developed wild wonder planet."
"Each of the wonder planets is different, and the planetary ecology is varied. Some wonder planets have strange biological ecological chains, while others have bizarre weather or landforms."
"This century has seen several spectacular planets classified as high-order stars. One is very special, Mercury, with very few continental plates and native animals that are humanoid marine creatures. There are many species, with human bodies and snake tails or fish tails or octopus-like creatures. Their voices are strangely powerful and extremely beautiful, but they are ugly and their intelligence is very low."
"Your Excellencies like their singing voices very much. The four armies spent a lot of effort to relocate that planet to the Ring of Law system, and it became a cat-eye ocean park. Every year, many of your Excellencies go to that water planet to relax and cultivate themselves, and it has a very high reputation."
"A new wonder star was born near the star zone route we are circling this time. It is a wonder of the green forest system and it produces this in abundance." Anushka shook it, and the little people rolled out of the petals in a mess.
He stared at the villain expressionlessly.
The little people began to flap their dragonfly wings tremblingly, flying around the flowers, shaking up a cloud of golden powder.
The golden powder turns into mist, and the double-petaled flowers magically stretch and move. The curled stamens of the pistil move as if breathing life, which is bizarrely beautiful.
"Stop threatening these little things." Shi Cunjin flicked the back of Anushka's hand with his fingers.
"They are not completely living organisms. The four armed forces have tested them and found that these little creatures have no brain nerves," said Anushka.
"Huh?" Shi Cunjin touched one of them with his finger. The little guy reached out and hugged Yingbai's finger, rubbing it with his pink little face.
Anushka: “…”
He shook the flower, and the little man immediately fell down.
Anushka: "They are the companion products of flowers. When the flowers wither, they will wither together. Their bodies will turn into mud and become a nutrient dish for new seeds. When new flowers grow again, a small thing will appear in the center of the flower."
"The report manual of the four armies' planet development says that these creatures have no intelligence. They are more like primitive bees, only chasing nectar and fragrance to bring pleasure to you."
Shi Cunjin took the bouquet from Anushka and said, "It's so beautiful. I like it very much."
Anushka didn’t let go for a moment.
"Why would I compete with them?" Shi Cunjin laughed. "No one would hold on to a gift."
Anushka pursed her lips, her thin lips looked fierce, but she quickly recovered and said, "As long as you like it."
"The fragrance of this flower can make you feel cheerful and happy. The four armies have tested it and it works for B-level officials. You can put it by your bed before going to bed, and it should help you have a sweet dream. Pruning and breaking leaves will have no effect on these little things." Anushka said.
Shi Cunjin suddenly asked: "Did you buy this planet?"
"Yes." Anushka responded, looking away again. "After this mission, I will be assigned to my own fixed military area, a habitable star area covering dozens of ecological stars and mineral stars."
“I bought this Wonder Planet and am planning to move it over there.” Anushka’s voice suddenly became formal.
He stared at the table next to him. "We are engaged now. You should come live with me. According to the law, we can use the same master bedroom in the suite."
"If you don't like purely scenic landscape stars, there are many other stars in my star zone..." "Of course, if you want to live with that table, you can move it away now." Shi Cunjin said seriously.
Anushka turned around and looked back so quickly that Shi Cunjin could even hear the sound of the butterfly's whiskers flying in the air.
"Why are you tied up so tightly tonight?" Shi Cunjin was a little confused. Anushka's condition tonight was obviously different from the previous times. He didn't quite believe that Anushka would be frozen by the cold air outside, but it was really strange.
Shi Cunjin reached out and touched the back of Anushka's hand, it was warm.
He asked with concern: "Did I delay the news for too long? Sorry, can you stay tonight so we can have a good chat?"
Anushka's expression became even more tense. She persisted for a few seconds and soon surrendered.
He was reluctant to let confusion remain in those eyes.
"During this journey, I observed some behaviors and gained some experience," Anushka said. "After the engagement, inviting you to live with me requires a well-publicized banquet and valuable gifts. Most of them are cities or planets that you like. The more expensive the gift, the more face you will have. I copied a copy of the gift specifications for invitation banquets throughout the ages recorded in the Four Armies."
Anushka grabbed Shi Cunjin's wrist and said in a sworn voice, "My army was the first to discover the Wonder Star. I have the priority to deal with its ownership. I fought for it from the four armies. The location of the Ring of Law Galaxy is very remote, and many Wonder Stars that were moved there could not withstand the Roche limit and were shattered. Over the years, there are only 9 Wonder Stars in the Ring of Law Galaxy."
"We are engaged, and I want to give you a more memorable engagement gift." Anushka stared at Shi Cunjin, her pupils quietly changing, and she said persistently: "A better, more perfect, and more decent gift. Even without Cat's Eyes backing you up, you will be treated like a high-ranking official, and everything will be better than Cat's Eyes."
"This is just the first Wonder Star I have captured, and there will be more in the future." Anushka pursed her lips for a moment, "My gift tonight is the Wonder Star and a better and more mature new impression."
Anushka: “I screwed up again didn’t I?”
Shi Cunjin didn't say anything for a while, but his narrowed eyes said it all.
Anushka turned away and brushed her hair back with her hands in annoyance and frustration. Her lips moved slightly and many words rolled out of her mouth, hot and broken, and she couldn't find a good word to say for a long time.
"Anushka." Shi Cunjin called out.
Anushka tilted her face to the side with a particularly nasty expression, but immediately responded: "Yeah."
"Anushka." Shi Cunjin motioned for him to turn around.
Anushka stared at the table. “Listening.”
Shi Cunjin: “…”
He suddenly reached out and flicked the hormone suppressant ring on Anushka's neck, "Click."
"Huh!" Butterfly Whisper swung her hair and Anushka turned her face around.
"I will always remember all the times you appeared before me. Each one is worth remembering, even though it may have been reckless at times."
"It's so hard to forget you." Shi Cunjin smiled and tapped his shoulder, "General."
Anushka stared at Shi Cunjin.
They looked at each other, their eyes were equally dense, and the threads of water slowly came together and gathered into a drop of water.
They kissed naturally on the sofa.

"Sir, this is the recent port arrival report for Carnival Star. There are not many changes in ordinary star ports, and the families that landed and entered the country normally are all in our social network. But." The servant handed over the work tablet and spoke hesitantly.
Gobelier took the tablet and said, "Speak."
"We focused on the VIP port and SVIP entry channel, but no targets were found. But another group of four fleets that arrived a week earlier to escort the mid-level noble reported that four hours ago, a planetary ring floating port in the east of Carnival activated optical shielding." The servant was puzzled. "Apart from our hundred-ship guard and the First Army's dangerous armor, what else can open and close the planetary port of Carnival?"
Gobelier had no strange expression. After reading the list of all the families that entered the country normally, he said, "Got it. Continue to observe."
"Sir, the protocol officers of the middle-level dignitaries who arrived a week earlier also want to visit you tomorrow. They think the tour route arranged for this carnival..." The servant reported one by one.
The servant said, "Finally, at 9 a.m. tomorrow, several heirs of the family would like to invite you for morning tea. Two of them are from the newly emerged technological families of the Southern Cross."
Gobelier thought for a few seconds and said, "I'll arrange for the Southern Cross's technology family heir worm to have breakfast with me tomorrow morning."
"I will inform you of other arrangements before 7 o'clock tomorrow morning," Gobelier said. "I need to have a good rest tonight. Except for the news from Mr. Valentine, don't accept any news from anyone else until tomorrow."
"Okay, I wish you a good night." The servant bowed and left, closing the door.
The door's electronic lock automatically turns locked white.
Gobelier sat for a while and murmured, "In addition to the Fourth Army and the First Army, there is another planet port? How rare."
There is no evidence that the port was used by Fit.
However, Gobelier's premonition told him: Don't doubt it, that is Fate's traveling team.
"He actually has such a strong army in his hands? This is a bit tricky." Gobelier thought.
After a moment, he opened his smart ring and pulled out a few new photos from his private gallery.
Gobelier popped a new message into Fate's account.
This time, he didn't use flowery social opening remarks. He first sent three photos and then wrote his request.

“Ding buzz.”
"Ding buzz." The smart ring on Shi Cunjin's wrist made a series of light sounds with different sound effects, ringing frequently, like an annoying electronic puppy that kept squeezing between its owners and barking to create a sense of presence.
"A..." Shi Cunjin opened his mouth to speak, but half a word came out and was sucked out by Anushka.
"Ding buzz!" Shi Cunjin remembered this sound effect, which came from Gobelier's unknown account.
But now!
Shi Cunjin was completely unable to free his shot or block the ball.
Inside the suite, the sofa had fallen over, and pillows and exotic flowers were scattered all over the floor.
Anushka's motorcycle jacket was hung on the sofa, and a transparent palm-sized gift box fell out from the upper edge of the jacket pocket, containing the Gold Star Medal of the branch chief.
The goblins were running around in the room in a panic, and the thin gold powder emitted by their wings formed a light golden mist in the room.
Shi Cunjin was pressed on the carpet and kissed by Anushka until his eyes sparkled. Petals of exotic flowers were tucked in his hair and golden mist enveloped him. Shi Cunjin was not sure if he really heard the special level prompt sound.
"Ding-hum~!" Another sound, and Shi Cunjin was sure.
He pushed hard on Anushka's chest, trying to create some distance.
Anushka understood very quickly! She immediately reached out to intertwine her fingers with Shi Cunjin's and pulled Shi Cunjin's hand to hug her waist.
"Anu...ah." Shi Cunjin opened his mouth several times and soon started coughing violently, with his eyelashes quickly wet.
Anushka raised her head to kiss Shi Cunjin's tears.
Shi Cunjin took a deep breath and subconsciously touched the brain ring. Anushka frowned and licked Shi Cunjin's eyelids hard.
The feeling of having his eyeballs licked was very strange, and Shi Cunjin got goosebumps all over his body. He had just caught his breath when Anushka lowered her head again.
Shi Cunjin didn't have time to utter a single word from beginning to end.
Does the happiness that the scent of exotic flowers and gold powder bring to you refer to this kind of excitement? ? The wording used by the Four Armies in the test is really conservative!
A few times, Shi Cunjin almost raised his tail and wrapped it around Anushka's neck.
Shi Cunjin was very busy, fighting the insect instincts and Anushka's tongue.
"What news was sent over there? Is it urgent?" Shi Cunjin took the time to ask the system in his mind.
System: “Uh, I’m not sure!”
"Gobelier sent three VV photos. The three photos are set to be read at once. If I read them in the background, they will be automatically destroyed. He used the photos to ask you to have a holographic meeting with him tonight." The system said uneasily: "He didn't talk about social conversation at all. He directly asked you to open the video to see the fake worm baby we made here. It seems that he is very sure that we will open it after seeing the photos."
"Also, not only Gobelier sent you a message this hour, but also Theodore, the chief of the Hu Feng Army, sent you a new email, as well as an email from Gwen the Heart, and Fran Jane also sent you an official email in the name of the family." The system hesitated: "...well...that's right, I saw that your tail was entangled tightly with the butterfly tail of A567, and it seemed very happy, so I didn't disturb you."
Shi Cunjin's hormone-clouded brain suddenly became clear and he immediately touched the smart brain ring.
His fingers are caught by Anushka.
Anushka reached out to remove the annoying smart band on Shi Cunjin's wrist. He was a little impatient. Concerned about hurting his lover, he didn't dare to pinch or flick the finger knife. He could only hook the black wristband with his fingers, and tried several times to remove it without success.
