pet
It is not pleasant for an adult with hands and feet to be served and fed, not to mention that Yu Sheng knows that the other party treats him as a pet.
All the humiliations Yu had endured in his life were not as shocking as the impact of this meal. But now he was a trapped bird in a cage, unable to do anything except compromise.
Fortunately, Frey didn't intend to accompany him all the time. After feeding Yu Sheng the blue beast food, he asked the maid to bring in a lot of snacks that the blue beast was said to love. He placed them in a small blue and pink basket for Yu Sheng, touched Yu Sheng's head, and said, "Go and play by yourself, Lingling."
Yu Sheng: “…” He didn’t want to respond. You wouldn’t understand anyway if he responded.
Just as Frey was about to leave, the butler Luther suddenly said, "Mr. Frey, you forgot to put a collar on Bell."
Upon hearing this, Yu Sheng’s whole body stiffened.
Frey's voice turned a little colder, "No need."
"But it has not yet been tamed, you..."
“Luther, I am the head of the family.”
Luther was momentarily startled by the chill in Frey's eyes, but the next moment, Frey's tone softened, as if the murderous intent just now was Luther's illusion. "Besides, I believe my bell will be very well behaved."
Yu Sheng lowered his head and said nothing, but the fists clenched behind his back were trembling slightly, as if he would uncontrollably hit the man in front of him in the face in the next second.
But he couldn't do that, otherwise if he was really put on a collar, it would only make it more difficult for him to escape.
After Frey and his men left, Yu Sheng simply flipped through the interstellar children's books on the bookshelf. There were all kinds of childish cartoon pictures on them. When Yu Sheng poked the words on them, the book would read them aloud, and the egg-shaped little robot that Frey had just left behind would also translate them loudly in Chinese.
Yu Sheng's eyes lit up. This way he would be able to learn the language here quickly and perhaps find out the truth about why he was brought here!
So many days later, Frey, who was busy thinking of Yu Sheng, entered the pet room and saw the black-haired guy lying on the bed. His two long legs and perky buttocks came into view, which made Frey think of the word "sexy".
But Yu Sheng's subsequent performance immediately drove the word "sexy" out of Frey's mind.
Yu Sheng was holding a book about interstellar science and poked it. A gentle electronic voice came out of the book saying, "Ball Beast." Yu Sheng then read "Ball Beast" carefully. Then the egg-shaped robot opened its mouth and translated "Ball Beast" into Chinese. Yu Sheng then read the spelling of "Ball Beast" in a low voice several times.
Sometimes, he couldn’t tell what something was just by looking at the picture, so Yu Sheng would click on the introduction in the book, let the robot translate it, and listen carefully.
The spherical beast is a very common and cute little animal. It has countless branches and families, and its appearance varies greatly. However, it has one common feature: its fur is very round, like a ball. It is deeply loved by the people in the stars and is known as the cutest pet after the blue beast.
Of course, Blue Beast's top spot on the cutest list is a bit of an understatement, primarily due to the fact that this pet is so rare and expensive, and the hype surrounding it is so strong. Ordinary people subconsciously assume this pet is the most superior, so they vote for Blue Beast in every ranking, even ranking the most aegyo-like pets. But in reality, Blue Beast has nothing to do with aegyo-like behavior.
Frey glanced at the guy who was seriously learning to speak and shook his head. He thought that Yu Sheng would probably never act coquettishly towards him.
After Yu Sheng finished reading the common animals section and thought about it, he turned to the common planets section, trying to find out if there was any information about the Earth.
"Blue Star Tunnel."
"Blue Star Tunnel!" Yu Sheng recited the word several times as usual and clicked on the introduction.
Then Yu Sheng was stunned.
"The Blue Star Tunnel is a dark tunnel leading to the Blue Star in the solar system. It was discovered by the Rok Fleet in Interstellar 4004. Blue Star is the hometown of the famous high-end humanoid pet blue beast. Since the development rights of the Blue Star Tunnel are secretly controlled by the Rok Fleet, detailed information is still lacking." Obviously, this book has not been updated yet, because the Blue Star Tunnel has changed its transmission direction due to an accidental explosion, and is now an ordinary dark tunnel.
Am I no longer on Earth?
Despite having a premonition, Yu Sheng's eyes instantly moistened. No wonder, no wonder the people here were so strange. He looked just like them, yet they insisted on treating him like a pet. Had he really stopped living on Earth?
No, not only are we not on Earth, I'm afraid the planet we're on is not even in the solar system?
Yu Sheng's mind was in a mess. Loneliness was what humans feared most, and the fear of being on a foreign planet and never seeing his compatriots again was like a highly parasitic virus that invaded every part of Yu Sheng's body.
Yu Sheng was suddenly confused. All his efforts had been to escape Frey's control and find a way to return home, but what about now? Even if he left this manor, where would his home be?
Frey had been fascinated by Yu Sheng's learning to speak, but Yu Sheng suddenly stopped and remained motionless for a long time. Frey frowned, then remembered the word "Blue Star Tunnel" and felt a sense of understanding and guilt. He deliberately raised his voice and took a step forward, instantly awakening Yu Sheng from his sorrow.
Yu Sheng almost jumped out of the bed, and the bell on his chest jingled because of his movements, which sounded even more ironic to Yu Sheng's ears.
"Don't be afraid," Frey said. "I won't hurt you."
Yu Sheng frowned for a long time before he asked in a halting interstellar language, "Where is this?"
Frey could sense the uneasiness of the person before him. He was silent for a moment, then cruelly said to Yu Sheng, who was almost pleading with him, "Mantu Star. This is Mantu Star in the interstellar space."
The pair of eyes that were originally bright dimmed in an instant, and Frey's chest felt inexplicably stuffy. He looked at Yu Sheng, who seemed as if the sky was about to fall, and had an urge to go over and hug him.
Seeing Yu Sheng sitting on the bed in a daze, Frey didn't disturb him anymore and left quietly.
Although it was cruel, he had to make Yu Sheng understand that from now on, he could never return to Blue Star.
Yu Sheng covered his face and let the negative emotions overwhelm him.
His bird was dead. Even if the next dawn came, he could no longer hear its song singing toward the morning light, nor could he see the hazy and fragmented light on the road ahead. He could only kneel down, holding the bird's corpse, and let it rot in this unfamiliar land.
-------------------------------------
Frey went back to Wenxing. Due to the issue of electronic information security, some important confidential documents of the planet were still submitted in paper form, so he had to come back regularly to deal with them.
In just two weeks, a vast sea of documents piled up on his desk, awaiting his review. For five full days, Frey worked tirelessly until he had finally processed most of the documents.
Frey rubbed his brows and took a sip of strong coffee. However, this time, the Joule coffee, which was said to "lose money if you sleep through it", did not work as expected. After reading through who knows how many documents, Frey fell asleep on the desk.
In his dream, he strangely encountered a black-haired young man, kneeling in the center of a cage, motionless as if frozen in death. Frey accidentally looked into his eyes, and those beautiful black pupils were like a pool of stagnant water, suffocating Frey's heart in its depths...
Frey had forgotten what happened after that, but he vaguely remembered that he seemed to dream of his mother. The firelight illuminated his mother's face as she laughed wildly, and her eyes, more beautiful than the stars, reflected the red flames.
The mother was engulfed in flames and whispered to him:
"Ah Xiao, live on."
"bite."
The personal terminal beeped, unplugging Frey from the depths of his dream. He shifted his stiff body and opened his personal terminal. This wasn't a business trip, but an invitation from the Pet Association to attend their annual gathering of rare pets.
The nominal purpose is to prevent the nobles from illegally abusing rare pets, so the nobles need to regularly show the public the current living conditions of these rare pets.
But Frey knew very well that this was just an activity by the nobles to show off their vanity and hypocrisy.
Frey frowned and replied with two words: [No]
Within seconds, the president of the Pet Association requested a video call. Frey clicked to accept, and a man made of light appeared in front of the desk.
"Dear Mr. Fregerick, according to the eighth interstellar rare pet protection law, you must bring the rare creature blue beast number 05 to participate in this party, and the content of the party will be broadcast live to the interstellar public." The president of the association said righteously.
"Interstellar Law?" Frey took a sip of his coffee calmly and sneered, "Ha."
Following this mocking remark, the president's body trembled almost imperceptibly, but he still said with a stiff upper lip, "That's right, Mr. Frey, I'd like to trouble you to go there during your busy schedule. This is also your way of showing off your wealth and status!" He even flattered him in a flattering manner at the end.
Frey cut off the communication with an expressionless face.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
There was a knock on the door, and Frey stared at it intently. Normally, his subordinates would contact him directly through their personal terminals, but the only one who insisted on coming in person for a face-to-face conversation was his butler Luther.
"Come in," Frey said.
The person who came was indeed the butler Luther. He was wearing a neat uniform. Even though he was an old butler of the Glick family, his words and actions did not show any rudeness at all.
"Mr. Frey," Luther said in a flat tone, "The president of the Pet Association just sent you an invitation to attend a rare pet gathering."
"I understand." Frey said.
"Do you need me to hire someone to train Bell?" Luther asked in a measured tone. "Your blue beast will represent the image of the Glick family, but Bell has yet to be tamed. With all due respect, Mr. Frey, you're being too lenient with your pet."
"That's nothing for you to worry about." Frey's voice turned cold.
However, Luther did not give in this time. "Mr. Frey, the dignity of the Glick family does not allow any literal disgrace. You are unwilling to give special training to Lingling. Is there something you cannot explain?"
"I don't have time for this."
"You don't need to worry about it." Luther lowered his head, but did not budge. "I will invite the most professional aristocratic pet trainer for you."
"..." Frey was silent for a while, "Go down, I'll do it myself." It seems that the butler will not give up.
He can't yet...
Luther stayed for a few seconds, as if examining Frey, but as soon as Frey looked up at him, he bowed respectfully and left.
On Mantu Star, in Fregerik's mansion, Yu Sheng was still lying on the bed in the pet room reading.
Although Frey, who posed the greatest threat to him, had left this place, the butler Luther suddenly broke in while Frey was away and forced a collar on himself. Afterwards, no matter how Yu Sheng operated, the collar was firmly on his neck, and there was no way out unless he cut off his own head.
Within the mansion, neither the servants nor the guards would stop him from moving freely, but his freedom of movement was limited to the mansion's confines. Once, in order to survey the terrain for escape, Yu Sheng reached the mansion's back door. He had barely been there for a second when his collar issued a sharp warning beep. Two guards, armed with photon rifles, rushed over, grabbed him, and sent him back to the pet room.
"Anna, can you give me some other food?" Although the blue beast food tasted pretty good, Yu Sheng was still very upset after eating it three times a day for many days in a row. Now he just wanted to eat hot pot, barbecue, malatang or any other hot dishes!
Bringing him food, Anna was looked at by such a pair of beautiful and pleading black eyes, and she felt her heart was about to melt. Her tone was particularly gentle, "I'm sorry, little bell, the housekeeper only ordered me this kind of food. How about you wait a moment, I'll go to the kitchen to see if there is anything else and steal it for you to eat."
"Thank you, Anna!" Yu Sheng's eyes lit up. "Well...it would be better if it were steak or something."
Anna covered her pounding heart and thought in surprise, Lingling is really smart. She learned the interstellar common language so quickly. Now, except for the complex professional vocabulary, she has no problem in daily communication.
As expected of Mr. Frey's pet, Anna immediately felt proud of it, even though she was just a little maid in the Glick family.
After sending Anna away, Yu Sheng rubbed his brow, put down his book, and continued to study the collar around his neck. If he didn't remove it, he would probably be under Frey's control forever, with no escape.
Unfortunately, there were no sharp objects in the entire pet room, so Yu Sheng decided to find a way to get a knife and fork or something like that to try to remove the collar.
Before he could figure out the collar, Anna, who had brought him food, came back. Anna happily carried a plate with a steak smothered in sauce on it, and next to it was the silver knife that Yu Sheng had been longing for.
"I stole this from the kitchen," Anna said, handing Yu Sheng a knife and fork. "Come on, Lingling, try it. By the way, do you know how to use a knife and fork?"
"Yes, thank you." Yu Sheng took the knife and fork calmly. "It's late, Anna. You'll attract attention if you're here. It would be bad if they found out you were stealing my food."
"Yeah, that makes sense. If that annoying Qiao Lu finds out, she'll deduct my money!" Anna, who had no ulterior motives, was touched by Yu Sheng's thoughtfulness. "Then you eat by yourself. I'm leaving first!"
