Jian Luo's birthday song continued relentlessly, and Lu Shifeng tried hard to control his expression and appear less sad.
After Jian Luo finished clearing the area, she looked at him with sparkling eyes: "How is it?"
Lu Shi's expression was blank: "What do you mean?"
"Singing!" Jian Luo looked at his expression and felt a little unsure. He scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "Is it out of tune? I don't sing often, please forgive me..."
Lu Shifeng: "No."
Jian Luo was delighted: "Isn't it? I also think I performed beyond my expectations just now. My singing was not bad, right?"
Lu Shifeng nodded.
Jian Luo looked at him suspiciously, wanting to observe Lu Shifeng's expression. After all, he had worked so hard in broad daylight and hoped that the sponsor would give some reaction. Unfortunately, he couldn't figure out anything after watching for a long time. Of course, the Marshal was always like this, never showing his emotions. Jian Luo decided to unilaterally judge that Lu Shifeng was happy and didn't know what to do.
That’s right, the child is pitiful. He has never celebrated his birthday.
Jian came down and took Lu Shifeng's hand: "There's something else you won't guess. I made a cake for you!"
Lu Shifeng: "Really?"
Jian Luo had no doubts: "Of course. You know, we have a custom over there where we blow out candles on birthdays, usually one for each year of your life, but you...at your age, I heard you're five hundred, so I'll just blow out five, just to go through the formalities."
Lu Shifeng: "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's okay, it's not hard."
Jian Luo took him to the inner room. Sure enough, as soon as they opened the curtain, they saw the cake on the round table. The cake was very cute. In order to cater to Lu Shifeng's preferences, Jian Luo was very considerate and drew a few guns on the edge with chocolate. Then, he drew a cute little black dragon in the center of the cake, and then -
A few candles were inserted into the little black dragon's face.
Lu Shifeng stood by the table, trying his best to keep a straight face: "Did you design this?"
An expression similar to pride appeared on Jian Luo's pretty face: "It's okay, actually I was just doing it casually."
“…”
No one praises you.
Looking at the food on the table, all of them were things that children would eat: cakes, cheeses, desserts, ice cream, dried fruits, full of childishness. No one could imagine that this was the birthday of the legendary iron-faced, cold-blooded and ruthless general.
Lu Shifeng glanced around and should have found it very funny, but inexplicably, an unknown feeling rose in the Marshal's heart. This feeling made him feel a little warm, although the cake was really ugly and he had no interest in these snacks for a long time.
Jian Luo came over and said, "Time is tight, so this is all I can come up with. I'll try something else next time."
Lu Shifeng glanced at him sideways: "Who gave you this idea?"
…
Jian Luo said, "Please don't ask such a depressing question at a time like this, okay? My candles are almost burned out, so please make a wish quickly!"
Lu Shifeng was a little confused: "Make a wish?"
That’s right, the Dark Star people don’t understand the fashion of their Earth.
Jian Luo came over and put her hands together, signaling him to do this: "Just like that, then silently recite your wish in your heart. It may come true this year. Any wish can be fulfilled. This opportunity is rare, so think carefully before you make your wish."
Lu Shifeng raised his eyebrows: "Human customs?"
Tsk
Jian Luo pinched her waist a little angrily, her cheeks puffed up, and she muttered, "Don't look down on me. Wishing is very effective. I even managed to get five candles for you!"
Seeing him like this, Lu Shifeng unconsciously curled up the corners of his mouth into a smile, which was fleeting. However, under the dim candlelight, his usually cold and hard face melted, as if overflowing with tenderness.
Jian Luo was stunned.
Lu Shi closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and made a brief wish. Soon, he lowered his hands: "Okay."
?
So fast.
No one in the world would give up their curiosity, and Jian Luo was no exception. His gossipy spirit was burning: "What wish did you make?"
Lu Shifeng raised his eyelids and looked at him without saying a word.
The more he acted like this, the more curious Jian Luo became: "Do you hope for world peace?"
He really wasn't blaming Lu Shifeng. It was possible for this person to make such a wish, okay? There's nothing he can't make happen!
Lu Shifeng said: "No."
Jian Luo choked.
"I hope you can become smarter." Lu Shifeng opened his thin lips and said ruthlessly: "Too slow."
????
Jian Luo's eyes widened in disbelief. He pointed at himself with a trembling hand: "I, I'm stupid?"
Who can bear this injustice?
Can we still live like this?
Are you talking human language, you bastard!
Lu Shifeng walked over, pulled out a chair and sat down: "At least not smart."
As the Marshal spoke, he picked up the cake knife on the table and prepared to cut the cake, but was snatched away by the angry Jian Luo next to him. The human angrily said, "Then don't eat food made by idiots. If you get infected by me and become stupid, you will blame me."
Lu Shifeng looked at him holding the knife with a fierce look, and he didn't have any killing power at all. Instead, he looked like a wronged kitten, with its fur standing on end, and it was showing its teeth and claws in a ferocious and aggressive manner, which made people want to bully him even more.
Lu Shifeng stretched out his long arm and took the knife: "I won't blame you."
Jian Luo glared at him.
"I've been infected by you." Lu Shifeng cut the cake into pieces with a knife: "Otherwise, I wouldn't be in this situation now."
Jian Luo made him relive the time when he was powerless. It had been a long time since Lu Shifeng encountered such a difficult situation. What was different was that at that time he relied on forcing himself to overcome the difficulties, but that method did not work in terms of feelings.
He could push himself but he couldn't bear to push Jian Luo.
He could achieve some goals by force and power, but he was reluctant to use those means on Jian Luo.
Jian Luo sat on the chair in a huff, "Well, I'm already like this. My brain is already formed, and I can't get smarter."
Lu Shifeng dug out a piece of cake and ate it. The cake tasted sour and sweet, as if the sweetness went all the way from his mouth to his heart. It was sweet but not greasy, and the taste was simple yet complex, making it hard to give up. It tasted completely different from the cakes sold in the market, which showed the care that went into making it.
Lu Shifeng put down the spoon in his hand and looked at Jian Luo: "No need to change it."
Jian Luo was stunned: "What?"
"It will be very hard to dwell on this kind of thing." Lu Shifeng said seriously, comforting her in a straight-man way, "Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you're always this stupid."
“…”
There's no need to relax at all!
Jian Luo got straight to the point: "Why do you think I'm stupid?"
Lu Shifeng's fingers on the table shrank slightly. The Marshal raised his eyelids and looked at Jian Luo meaningfully with a very complicated look.
Jian Luo:?
Lu Shifeng opened his thin lips and said, "All aspects."
???
This meal is inedible.
Just when Jian Luo was feeling depressed, Lu Shifeng took out a cute little blue bracelet and put it on the table: "Try it on."
Jian Luo glanced at him and said with great determination: "No."
Lu Shifeng said slowly: "This is a new generation of pain relief bracelet. If you wear it, the acupuncture will not hurt."
Jian Luo's eyes lit up. Just as he was about to reach out to take it, he remembered his lofty ambitions. He cleared his throat and pretended to be reserved: "I'm not wearing it for myself, but for your son, do you know?"
Lu Shifeng didn't expose him: "Yeah."
Jian Luo immediately picked up the bracelet and put it on his hand. He turned it around and said, "It doesn't seem to be anything special?"
Lu Shifeng: "It will only be useful in some special circumstances."
"Like acupuncture?"
Lu Shifeng's red eyes seemed to have deepened in color. He looked at Jian Luo, his Adam's apple rolling up and down. He nodded, his voice a little hoarse: "Acupuncture."
“…”
What are you doing? It's scary.
After dinner, it was time for the physical examination.
Before he put on the bracelet, Jian Luo was timid, but after putting it on, he hit out with a strong punch: "Just check it casually today!"
The doctor was a little surprised and glanced at Lu Shifeng.
Lu Shifeng gestured to her: "Just follow the procedure, he's wearing a bracelet."
The doctor couldn't help but laugh. She said to Jian Luo, "Okay, we will give you a detailed physical examination."
Jian Luo was inexplicably frightened by her laughter.
Fortunately, the doctor acted very quickly. He was also scared by Jian Luo's various screams in the past, so he used the speed of his hands that he had trained. Everything had to be done as quickly as possible. Otherwise, not only would the people inside suffer, but the people outside would also be unhappy.
After getting the medical examination form, the doctor went out to find Lu Shifeng.
Lu Shifeng: "Are you healthy?"
"Everything is fine," the doctor said, looking at the list. "Luoluo is very cooperative. He's getting a balanced daily intake of nutrients, and he's doing a good job of maintaining a balanced diet. Therefore, the cub is developing well."
Lu Shifeng nodded.
The doctor looked down and hesitated again: "However, based on the initial examination of various indicators, I suspect there are early signs of prenatal depression."
Lu Shifeng didn't look particularly surprised: "I already have one."
The doctor nodded and said, "Do you want to go back?"
This prenatal depression does not refer to the emotional problems of the mother herself, but refers to a phenomenon of ancestral love that female dragons will have before giving birth after giving birth to dragonlets. In the dragon clan, the Holy Dragon Mother Tree is the origin of the dragon clan, and every dragon has a special bond with the mother tree since the day it became conscious.
The same is true for pregnant females and unborn dragons. The closer they get to their due date, the more the female dragon will miss her hometown and her mother tree. There will be many signs of this, such as increased temper and anger at her partner, gradual loss of appetite, and immersion in sadness.
The doctor said, "According to our tests, due to the cub's development, Luoluo's body is now tending towards the structure of a normal female dragon. Aside from his inability to transform into a dragon, everything else is basically the same. He's already showing this tendency to revert to his ancestral form. If we don't intervene, it might cause harm. Do you think we should take him back to Anleyuan?"
The female dragons of the dragon clan return to their ancestral tree. If Jian Luo goes home, she will definitely go back to her hometown.
Lu Shifeng didn't say yes or no, he just said: "I have arrangements."
The doctor didn't know what to say when he saw this: "Yes."
When Jian Luo came out of the examination room, she found that Lu Shifeng had been silent and his face was very tense. It seemed that the examination results were not good.
No way
Jian Luo covered his stomach, feeling a little uneasy. Could something have gone wrong?
Jian Luo probed, "Is there something wrong with the prenatal checkup? Just tell me. I can handle it. Now, can I go back and eat whatever I want, or should I name this disease after me?"
Lu Shifeng paused and looked back at him: "What's going on in your head?"
“…”
Who asked you to scare me?
Jian Luo likes to get angry recently: "What's the matter?"
Lu Shifeng briefly explained the phenomenon of atavism, trying to make Jian Luo's already busy mind understand what it was like before saying, "So, what is the hometown you've always missed, Anleyuan?"
Jian Luo choked.
If he had to say, he actually didn't have any particularly deep feelings for Anleyuan. What he thought about and missed in his heart was always the Earth. He missed the small stalls in the night market, the chattering old ladies at the village entrance, the fat otaku life of drinking Coke and eating fried chicken, and the happy life of playing games all night and then going out to the kitchen to cook a pot of instant noodles with some ham and eggs.
I miss the country without racial discrimination all the time.
Human children are free and equal, and everyone lives in harmony. He wouldn't talk about a boyfriend whose status is so different from his own...
Wait, are they in a relationship?!
Jian Luo came back to his senses and said to Lu Shifeng, "My words..."
Lu Shifeng interrupted him: "Don't lie."
“…”
It's too difficult.
Jian Luo scratched his head. "My situation might be more complicated. How should I put it? Even if I say anything, it doesn't really make sense, because the place I want to go back to is quite special. To be precise, it should no longer exist."
Lu Shifeng said: "Ancient Earth?"
Jian Luo blurted out: "How do you know?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked into Lu Shifeng's calm eyes and understood everything at once. In fact, he had not deliberately concealed anything, such as those novel dishes, his eating habits, and the things he liked. He had not deliberately catered to the humans in Anleyuan.
If you look deeper, you will find that he has many flaws.
He himself knew about this, but he was too lazy to pretend. He wanted to live comfortably. When a person suddenly came to a completely unfamiliar place, how to survive and how to adapt to this place had become a problem.
He doesn't want to live too hard.
When living in this world, people should just do their best. After all, no one can leave this world alive, and he doesn't want to force it.
Jian Luo's throat was dry: "You know everything."
Lu Shifeng stretched out his hands. The pair of large hands were about to fall on his back, but in the end they fell gently on Jian Luo's head. The man's voice was a little low: "I said, don't worry about such a hard thing."
Jian Luo suddenly looked up and met that handsome face.
Lu Shifeng raised his lips to a smile and said, "Being a little stupid isn't a bad thing."
“…”
Dog man.
Jian Luo sniffed and walked back with Lu Shifeng, but the problem was still not solved: "But I still can't go back."
This kind of prenatal depression sounds scary, and he himself is also worried that it will affect the baby's health.
Lu Shifeng said: "Who said there is no way?"
Jian Luo looked at him in shock. Could it be that Dark Star's technology had advanced to the point where they could travel through time and space at will?!
Lu Shifeng didn't let him think too much: "That bed."
? ?
After returning from the infirmary, Jian Luo ate a little. His stomach was now round. The dragon cubs grew very fast, so he was hungry most of the time every day.
After eating, Jian Luo took a shower.
Weiwei from the Elf Clan contacted him and said, "We've already successfully bought the over 30 million Elf dried fruits we sold through our livestream this morning, generating a total revenue of approximately 760 million yuan."
Jian Luo was overjoyed and almost fainted from the money: "So much?"
Weiwei was ruthless: "After deducting the logistics and the share with Yuese, and then deducting the share with the elves, and then deducting the costs, the net profit is 110 million."
“…”
A basin of cold water from beginning to end.
Weiwei seemed to think that wasn't enough. "Also, we haven't factored in the salaries of the local elves who help with shipping and packing, and the costs of returns. All in all, the expected profit is only around 70 million."
Jian Luo had a heart attack: "Okay, stop talking, how is the packing work going over there?"
Weiwei: "It's ready. Anya is doing the inventory. If there are no problems, we can just wait for Yuese to come over for inspection."
The elves are very smart. Although these three dancers are professionals, they do not have any worldly airs. They are very responsible and rarely give Jian Luo any worries when doing things.
Jian Luo: "Okay, I'll contact them to come over and inspect the shipment. Please make a report of the major star systems and addresses of the orders and submit it to me the day after tomorrow at the latest. Specific classifications should be made by age and region of the potential customers. Also, remember to separately handle the 10,000 orders we're drawing. Don't forget to filter out the gifts for customers with large orders."
Weiwei: “No problem.”
At first they all thought that humans were just joking, but they didn't expect that Jian Nan was so careful in every aspect from beginning to end, and was never vague about the important things. The leadership he displayed made the elves look at him with admiration. Although this order doesn't seem to make much money, with Jian Luo's connections and abilities, it's probably just the beginning.
Jian Luo smiled and said, "I'll hold a celebration party for you guys once this order is completed."
Weiwei made a heart shape with her hands to him.
After handling the work docking, Jian Luo also has to deal with the background. Now he receives a lot of private messages every day, asking about products, asking about various business cooperation, and giving feedback, which are piling up like a mountain.
The three elves distribute the work evenly.
Weiwei and Anya were in charge of publicity and after-sales, while another very introverted and shy elf, Caicai Jianluo, was assigned to handle these inquiries.
Caicai sent a message saying, "Boss, today's consultation volume totaled 6 million, and there were about 200,000 business cooperations. I have prepared a report by category and sent it to your email. Please check it out."
Jian Luo was shocked when he saw the number: "Can you handle it, Caicai?"
Cai Cai said, "No problem, I have magic."
She is really afraid of talking to people, but she also likes talking to people. This online customer service model is really fun, as she can talk to many people without having to speak.
Jian Luo hesitated: "Don't force yourself. If it doesn't work, I can recruit more people."
Cai Cai was afraid that he would hire someone: "No, no, boss, I can do it, I really can, please don't hire anyone."
“…”
Okay.
What else could Jian Luo say? He could only thank the Elf King Laotie for his great assist.
After a brief meeting with a few employees, Jian Luo began to look at the reports. These big data were very important and could be used to understand the audience's preferences and reactions.
In the past, he was alone and earned little money, but now he has a team and a planet to support, and no matter how much money he earns, it is not enough to cover the cost.
Lu Shifeng came in from outside and saw that he was still working. He frowned and said, "Don't look at him for too long."
Jian Luo hummed, "I'll take a look. It would be great if I could produce a report. I'll then have a small meeting with Boss Nie to report on my work. I heard that someone will be coming for inspection the day after tomorrow at the latest. I'll check it again. There can't be any mistakes. Everyone has worked so hard, it can't be in vain..."
Lu Shifeng looked at his serious expression and felt inexplicably dazed. He still remembered the first time he met Jian Luo, he really felt that human beings were small and fragile. At that time, Jian Luo was indeed not so outstanding. He was very timid, weak, and had no energy in his body.
He is not the same now as before.
Confident, responsible, and very eye-catching, like a piece of gradually glowing jade, gentle and dazzling.
Jian Luo said: "I'm going to a meeting."
Lu Shifeng held him back: "Open tomorrow."
"ah?"
"I won't come until the day after tomorrow, so it won't be too late to open it tomorrow." Lu Shifeng pointed at the light screen: "Jian Luo, check the time."
Jian Luo looked at the time and was stunned: "It's already 11:30?"
He had been looking at it for so long without realizing it. It was really too late to have a meeting. He couldn't disturb others from resting.
Seeing that he finally reacted, Lu Shifeng was satisfied: "Come and rest."
Jian Luo suddenly remembered what he had said that day: "Can this bed really take us back to ancient Earth?"
Lu Shifeng: "Yes, the bed can take you back to your past dreams, but remember, you can't do anything that goes against the consciousness of that dream world. Otherwise, once the order of the dream is destroyed, you will be trapped in it forever."
Jian Luo scratched his head, thinking he was very clever: "Even though we are wearing clothes again, we still have to live an honest life. We can't rob banks or walk naked on the street."
"……right."
After discussing it, the two of them put their hands on the crystal ball as usual. Jian Luo suddenly thought of his previous dream and wanted to ask Lu Shifeng if he knew what happened in his dream, but he was too timid to speak.
Forget it, just pretend you don’t know!
Jian Luo closed his eyes and fell asleep. He had thought that it would be difficult to fall asleep because of the heavy worries in his mind, but he did not expect to fall asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.
…
“Chuckle!”
A rooster crowed from the window, waking Jian Luo up immediately.
Jian Luo sat up from the bed, staring blankly at the mosquito net above his head and the mosquito's blood. He was dazed for a moment.
A voice came from outside: "Luoluo, your father and I are going to visit relatives in Xiaozhang Village today. Remember to feed the pigs at home and then go to the fields to pull the weeds."
? ?
Jian Luo's brain didn't react, and he answered with a voice: "Okay."
Then the sound of a door closing was heard outside, and the woman took her two children and husband to visit relatives.
Jian Luo slowly sat up, but before he could react, he saw Lu Shifeng sitting on a chair not far away. He was frightened and covered his mouth: "Sir?!"
This is too incongruous. An officer in military uniform and looking cold is sitting in a thatched hut. How incongruous!
Lu Shifeng: "Awake?"
"Oh my god." Jian Luo touched his stomach and found nothing. He slapped himself, not looking very smart. "Are we really in a dream woven in bed?"
Lu Shifeng: "Well, is this the hometown you miss?"
“…”
That bed must be a fake product. Why do I miss this place so much?
Jian Luo said, "It's kind of, but not quite. But since you're here, you can't wear this. If you go out, other villagers will talk about you."
Lu Shifeng: "What to wear?"
Jian Luo was in a dilemma. He didn't dare to steal his father and brother's clothes. He thought about it over and over again. When he was in a dilemma, there was another knock on the door. It was a relatively honest voice: "Luoluo, I came to see you. I don't have work to do today, so I wanted to come and see you."
The knocking on the door was so urgent, it was like a call to action.
Jian Luo shouted outside: "Wait a moment!"
He was just about to open the door to see who it was when he was suddenly stunned. Wasn't this voice Tiezhu, his first boyfriend from the countryside?
Strictly speaking, they couldn't be considered as dating. It could only be said that they had an ambiguous relationship at the beginning, because Tiezhu was the only person in the village who treated him well. Although Tiezhu was later forced by his family to get married, the two of them broke up.
It’s nothing actually. Everyone has a first love that ends in failure.
The door outside was still knocking: "Luoluo, Luoluo, open the door for me!"
Jian Luo was a little flustered by the urging, but Lu Shifeng said slowly: "Why don't you go and take a look?"
"Um...I'll go now."
For some reason, he felt a little guilty. His current girlfriend was outside, and there was a cuckolded man in the house. How could he explain this? Wait, that's not right. Strictly speaking, the Marshal was his current girlfriend. Could it be that he was cuckolding two men at the same time?
That's not right. He hasn't really married anyone, so how can this be counted? To round it off, it should be that no one is wearing it!
