It seems that Hong Ximing has instilled a lot of common sense into Xin Yunmao, even the topics that human parents would talk about, so that he misunderstood the famous dishes in the state banquet and understood them as inducing childbirth.
Chu Zhishui hesitated to speak: "No, my parents are very open-minded, they won’t talk about these things..."
Xin Yunmao frowned and said confidently: "It was not convenient to say it before, so we used dishes to express it. Of course, we wouldn’t talk about such topics directly."
"Are you very confident in the ways of the world now?" Chu Zhishui sighed and said regretfully, "After all, my dad was wrong."
Xin Yunmao: "?"
Chu Zhishui: "He thought you were in the atmosphere, but he didn’t expect you to be underground, completely rooted in the soil, and only thinking about bamboo."
"..."
Chu Xiaohe was thinking about the harmonious coexistence of humans and monsters, but he didn’t expect that the concept of bamboo would never leave the ground after all. Sure enough, after the demonic energy was used to bloom, it could no longer think of anything else.
"Don't you want to?" Xin Yunmao retorted unhappily, "Who said last time that Zhumi was pitiful, and then turned around and refused to be a good mother?"
Chu Zhishui held his forehead and said politely, "No, at least wait until it really appears before you blame me."
"I'll tell you in advance that it's not easy to produce seeds. It's not as simple as you think." Xin Yunmao said coldly, "Because it's a new god, it's born very slowly. It's best to hurry up."
"What do you mean by that?" Chu Zhishui looked subtle, "It's like saying that the God is older and it will be difficult to produce seeds if you don't hurry up."
Shouldn't other monsters say this to Xin Yunmao? Why should he be anxious himself?
He snorted lightly, and dared to continue: "It's true, I have at least a thousand years, otherwise..."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Chu Zhishui blushed, she stretched out her hand to pinch his neck, trying to stop him from talking nonsense, and finally touched his Adam's apple as she wished.
"So come over next weekend?" Xin Yunmao stared at her and emphasized, "I can cook now."
"Obviously I can only stir-fry one dish." Chu Zhishui saw the resentment in his eyes and hurriedly said, "Come on, come on, you must come and taste the cooking skills of the God."
"That's better."
The man and the demon lingered downstairs for a long time, and Xin Yunmao was ready to go home.
In the night, thousands of lights were brightly lit, and the treetops rustled, but he was the only one wearing a white shirt, full of brilliance under the lights.
Chu Zhishui sent him to the door, but Xin Yunmao suddenly grabbed her. Just when she thought he was reluctant to let her go, he held her hand and let her gently stroke his slightly protruding Adam's apple.
He lowered his head slightly and rubbed her hand with his chin. His dark eyes were shining, and he said casually: "If you want to touch me, touch me well. You have been staring at me for a whole day. I knew you were greedy for my skin. It's useless for you to pretend now."
"No way..."
"You are very serious about your work every time, but you are especially perfunctory to me."
Her fingertips touched the warmth and delicate skin. Every time he opened his mouth to speak, his Adam's apple would slide slightly, which was so novel that it made her fingers numb, and flames jumped from her fingertips. The light breath brushed across the back of her hand, bringing a tingling illusion.
Her palm covered his neck, she stroked his Adam's apple with her fingers, felt his beating pulse with her palm, pressed her knuckles against his sunken collarbone, and even felt her hand reaching into his collar. Every place she touched was full of power, and she wanted to burn her fingers.
He took her hand and silently led her to explore herself, revealing unspeakable tenderness in his eyes, as if seducing her in the night wind.
He even became hoarse: "Where else do
you want to touch?" "... Go away!"
Chu Zhishui pulled her hand back, and she pushed him away with red ears, wishing she could directly ram him into the black gap.
She didn't expect that she would be caught by him for looking at him a few more times today, and he even took the opportunity to blame
her. But she had to admit that her annoyance was to some extent because she was hit in the sore spot. She really wanted to touch him during every meal, and felt that he was so handsome in his clothes. She guessed that she was really hypnotized. He said every day that she was greedy for his body, and finally ruined her subconscious mind.
On the way home, her heartbeat was still accelerating. She always felt that the touch of her palm could not be shaken off, and she had already memorized the temperature of his skin.
At home, Chu Xiaohe and Xie Yan had already put the dining table back to its original state. The remaining food was put into the refrigerator, and the cabinet was filled with various gifts, all of which were brought by Xin Yunmao today.
Chu Xiaohe was surprised and said, "It's a very decent gift. I saw that he didn't talk much, so I thought he didn't understand these things."
Giving gifts is a science. Chu Xiaohe doesn't smoke, so there is no tobacco in it. The other gifts are all good, but a bag of pomegranates caught people's attention. The peels are full and bright, with a red glow, and they look very fresh.
Xie Yan picked up a red pomegranate and exclaimed, "Are pomegranates on the market?"
Pomegranates are usually on the market in autumn, and it's still a little early now. I don't know where Xin Yunmao found such a good one.
"He went to look for it on purpose, he was really thoughtful, but a little impatient." Chu Xiaohe sighed, "If we understand it from the perspective of the ancients, what he gave really seemed like a marriage proposal."
Chu Zhishui was stunned: "Huh?"
"Don't you know? He is a top student at Bank University." Chu Xiaohe joked, "Pomegranates have a lot of seeds, and they are given to relatives and friends to wish the family prosperity. Pomegranates are 'millions of seeds in the same bud, separated by a golden room and jade', representing a happy marriage and many children and blessings."
In some areas, newlyweds will also plant two pomegranate trees together, meaning eternal marriage and commemorating their love.
Chu Zhishui numbly said: "I didn't understand it at first, but when I heard about seeds, I understood."
Plant monsters can never escape the limitations of plant thinking.
Xie Yan broke open a fresh red pomegranate, revealing the crystal red pomegranate seeds, and exclaimed: "It looks good. I'll ask him where he bought it later. He knows how to choose fruits better than I do."
"If you want to eat it, ask him for it another day." Chu Zhishui said vaguely. She suspected that he used his demonic energy to irrigate it, otherwise it would be impossible for out-of-season fruits to appear.
Chu Xiaohe nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, although not a human, but also very good, the advantage is that he is very sincere."
"Not a lot of people is good, but no family." Xie Yan said, "If it were a human, it would be unreasonable at home, and it would cause a lot of troubles. I would definitely have to deal with them. I can't stand meeting someone like Liu Kemei."
Chu Zhishui said weakly: "Dad, Mom, are you accepting it too quickly? You start talking about the advantages..."
"Of course, we also have to consider our lives. If you find someone with a simple family situation, we will be much more relaxed." Chu Xiaohe said, "When the child needs to go to school, he will be sent to the kindergarten next door. I will be responsible for picking him up after I retire."
"...Isn't this a bit too far-sighted?"
She just told Xin Yunmao that her parents didn't mean that, but now they're talking about kindergarten directly, and have even thought about Zhumi's schooling?
Xie Yan suddenly remembered something, she quickly put down the pomegranate in her hand, wiped her fingers clean, and called Chu Zhishui aside: "I didn't know before, so I didn't tell you. Now that there is a situation, I know you are older, so I just remind you a little bit."
Chu Zhishui looked confused.
"Be careful on a daily basis, think about how to deal with some things, and protect your body." Xie Yan said tactfully, "If you occasionally don't go home on weekends, just tell me and your dad."
Chu Zhishui was speechless, but unexpectedly, the topic of adulthood came up, and she said stubbornly: "I want to go home, I have to go home."
"Why are you coming back?" Xie Yan was surprised, "I've settled down in my new home."
"..." Chu Zhishui swallowed and said lightly, "This is not to protect him."
Xie Yan: "?"
Chu Zhishui calmed down and said, "He is a plant monster, so it's not my problem, but he pollinates and bears fruit. You misunderstood, mom."
Xie Yan: "???"
After listening to her daughter's popular science about bamboo rice, Xie Yan was dazed for a moment and gave in, "Then go home, not too fast..."
Chu Zhishui agreed, "Right, you have to consider other people's feelings."
Xie Yan was dizzy now, she nodded blankly and replied, "Yes, that's good, then don't save money in the future, help him find a confinement center."
"..."
Xin Yunmao's first meeting with his parents ended successfully. When Chu Zhishui went to her new home again, she felt much more at ease and had nothing to hide.
The man and the monster went to a physical store to buy a mobile phone the next weekend, finally allowing Xin Yunmao to step into modern life. He used to only contact Chu Zhishui, and he could borrow the token to move to her side at will. He was too lazy to deal with other people, so naturally he didn't need communication equipment.
Now, the mobile phone is bound to Xin Yunmao's ID, and with the contact information of Chu Xiaohe and Xie Yan, the communication channels have finally been broadened a little.
Chu Xiaohe often sends current affairs news to Xin Yunmao, and it seems that he really wants him to understand the country's renaissance history. He also extends some concepts of the community of human destiny to humans and monsters.
Xie Yan didn't do this. She liked the cover of Xin Yunmao's circle of friends, which was a photo of Chu Zhishui and Xin Yunmao at Danshan.
Chu Zhishui's family opened their arms like hers, gradually bringing a clump of green bamboo into the courtyard, nourishing him silently.
In the Huaijiang Observation Bureau, the staff of the Observation Department returned from Kongsang and brought back a large number of brand new labor reform monsters to speed up the construction progress in the bureau.
Chu Zhishui stood by the window, she looked at the construction site from a distance, and said curiously: "Why does it feel like the construction site has become lively? Didn't Director Miao say not long ago that the furnace was about to be emptied and they couldn't find a suitable one."
Although the bureau can rely on labor reform monsters for infrastructure construction, the actual operation is still difficult, and not all monsters have the ability to build a building. Some old monsters who have been imprisoned for many years do not have enough knowledge and cannot use various equipment at all. Monsters that keep up with the times must be captured.
Jin Yu: "It is said that a group of people were arrested during a business trip to Kongsang. The observation department there could not hold all the people, so they had to divert them to other observation bureaus. They picked the plant monsters who were good at building buildings and brought them back."
"So the observation department will limit the flow of people?"
"Yes, if there are too many pressures, the bureau will be unstable."
"Is that so."
In the Kongsang Bureau, Huang and other monsters experienced a long battle. With the support of other bureaus, they finally completely wiped out the arrogant Dragon Temple forces.
However, arrest does not mean the end. Detention is also a big problem. The huge pressure is about to collapse the Kongsang Bureau. Even if it is constantly diverted to other bureaus, the speed of outflow is still not as fast as the speed of inflow, because the long-distance escort of prisoners is too slow.
At the Kongsang Observation Center, a dragon roared and a dark demonic aura spread out, suddenly breaking free from the iron chain that had been restraining it for a long time!
A black shadow emerged from the fierce stone dragon head, and was about to leap into the sky, breaking free from the confinement of sleeping for a thousand years!
"Close the door, close it now!" Director Huang said in surprise, "Don't let him escape from the observation center!"
Countless iron chains rang, fiercely slapping the black shadow back to the dragon head, but the shadow stood up unyieldingly and waited for an opportunity to slip out of the majestic door again. The furnaces that imprisoned the Dragon God's believers were in turmoil, taking advantage of the situation to put pressure on the Kongsang monsters and help their former god.
The sky shook and the earth trembled. The iron door was shaken open a crack, and the next moment it was hit again. Unexpectedly, the black shadow still floated out half a inch. People and horses
were thrown to the ground, and all the monsters panicked.
Director Huang was so scared that leaves fell off the tree. He slapped his forehead and said in shock: "It's over, it's over, I'm going to be dismissed. He actually escaped!"
"Director Huang, only half of his soul escaped, which should be one-eighth of his soul, and he has been weak for a thousand years..."
"Even if one-sixteenth of his soul escaped, it would still be a safety accident! This kind of thing is either there or not, no matter how much escaped!"
The news quickly spread to the other three bureaus, and the remaining dragon soul wandered out and is now missing.
In the director's office, Hu Chenrui felt the situation was tense. He immediately called Xin Yunmao and Miao Lu to discuss countermeasures. He said seriously: "Lord God, now that the Dragon God has escaped, I'm afraid something bad will happen. Please take action quickly..."
Xin Yunmao was sitting on the sofa. He was not nervous at all and asked calmly: "Why should I take action?"
"Ah?" Hu Chenrui looked at him in surprise, "But that is the remnant of the Dragon God, he will definitely..."
"That is one eighth of his remnant soul, and it has been weakened for thousands of years. Do you think he couldn't beat me before, but he will take the initiative to come up now?" Xin Yunmao frowned, "He doesn't have a problem with his brain. He always needs to recuperate and then come back."
"Then we can't let him rest. We must press on to win..."
"After he recuperates, it will be several hundred years, and I won't have anything to do with him by then." Xin Yunmao said calmly, "I will live another hundred years, that's your job, it has nothing to do with me, why should I get involved?"
If the Dragon God didn't beat him, he wouldn't have done it at all, plants are not warmongers.
"Lord God, this is inappropriate, isn't it?" Hu Chenrui was dumbfounded, and said kindly, "We can't just enter the system and not work, what kind of bad habits are these, can't you learn these?"
Why did he start to mess up as soon as he solved the organization! ?
"I belong to the Economic Development Department, not the Observation Department, you can't control me." Xin Yunmao mocked, "You can't even do one-eighth, you are too useless."
Hu Chenrui was extremely anxious: "Miao Lu, you should also say a few words to persuade the God!"
Miao Lu meowed softly, and he raised his eyebrows slightly, and said lazily: "What is there to persuade? He got pregnant before he joined the system, I think he is quite moral."
Hu Chenrui: "???"
Xin Yunmao: "..."
