Chapter 10
As soon as Luo Andeli came in, he saw Jiaojiao standing at the door, holding it and looking over. He immediately walked over with a smile and said, "Jiaojiao, come here and give your brother a hug."
Jiaojiao, who was standing at the door, subconsciously reached out her hand when she heard the word "hug".
Seeing this, Luo Andeli smiled with his eyes narrowed. Seeing his uncontrollable charm, even the children who had only met twice could not resist him.
Just before he was about to proudly hug Jiaojiao, Yin Zheng took the lead and held Jiaojiao in his arms.
As soon as she fell into Yin Zheng's arms, Jiaojiao skillfully rubbed her head against his chin and called out softly and happily, "Dad."
Yin Zheng didn't respond, but just raised his hand and rubbed his furry hair.
Luo Andeli, who was left empty-handed, didn't care. Instead, he looked at Yin Zheng, whose face had no expression, with interest, and saw a rare, not-so-obvious possessiveness in him.
Luo Andeli raised his eyebrows in surprise and said calmly, hands behind his back, "You can't do that. Children need more contact with people so they can grow up healthily."
"Your quiet personality is not conducive to the development of foot language."
At this point, he suddenly remembered a question he had been curious about for a long time, and asked curiously, "Hey, why did you think of giving him such a smelly name like "feet"?"
After hearing his previous words, Yin Zheng was looking down at Jiaojiao, who was listening to their conversation with eyes wide open in his arms. Hearing his words, he raised his eyelids and glanced at him.
Is it tasty?
What does it taste like?
Suddenly remembering something, he looked at Luo Andeli expressionlessly, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "It's not feet, it means bright, bright moon, clear, and white."
"Oh, so that's it!" Luo Andeli, who hadn't thought about it that way at all, smiled awkwardly and said with a forced smile, "Why did you give him such a misleading name?"
Yin Zheng ignored him, walked over and put Jiaojiao on the sofa, handed Jiaojiao the bottle of milk that had been soaked earlier and was now at the right temperature, then went into the kitchen and started preparing breakfast.
Luo Andeli, who was watching his smooth movements, turned his gaze to Jiaojiao who was sitting on the sofa.
Jiaojiao, who was drinking milk from a bottle, tilted her head when she met his gaze. No one knew what she was thinking about, but she saw him frowning little by little.
Jiaojiao looked at the bottle in his arms, then at Luo Andeli who was staring at him with interest, shook his little head, hugged the bottle tightly, and said seriously, "No, give it to Daddy, no."
"..." Luo Andeli, who understood his words by guessing, hesitated rarely. Was the child suspecting that he wanted to steal his milk?
Come on, Luo Andeli has eaten everything. Is it necessary to steal the baby's milk?
Really, this is an insult to his personality!
However, he has never drunk milk made with milk powder, so he doesn't know what it tastes like?
It should taste good, right? Otherwise, Yin Zheng wouldn't have drunk it.
Thinking of this, Luo Andeli's eyes staring at the bottle in Jiaojiao's arms became more curious and eager.
Seeing this, Jiaojiao held the bottle tighter, and while holding it, she anxiously reached into her pocket, trying to bribe him with candy not to snatch her bottle.
Unfortunately, there was no candy left in his little pocket, as he had given it all to his father.
Remembering this, Jiaojiao blinked blankly, then cleverly turned around with the bottle in her arms and faced away from Luo Andeli.
Luo Andeli raised his eyebrows, walked forward and picked him up from behind.
Jiaojiao was stunned for a second when she was picked up. The next second, she stuffed the bottle into her pocket, covered the half-exposed bottle with her hands, and struggled, saying, "No, I won't give it to you."
The tiny body seemed so weak that even its struggles seemed limp, without any threat at all.
"Heh." Luo Andeli couldn't help laughing out loud. To be honest, if he could beat Yin Zheng, he might have really snatched the bottle and taken a sip, making the child cry, then coaxing him, and then making him cry again.
"Okay, okay, I won't take your bottle."
Luo Andeli repeated the sentence three times and explained it with actions before Jiaojiao finally understood.
He opened his big dark eyes and looked up at the person holding him from behind, his two little hands covering the bottle in his pocket and uttering "Ahhhh" twice.
Luo Andeli, who didn't understand but was overwhelmed by the cuteness, laughed out loud, turned him around and hugged him in his arms, reaching out to poke his soft face: "The little thing is quite good at being cute."
Luo Andeli, who was holding a child for the first time, looked very skilled on the surface, but in fact his movements were very awkward. He had learned this on the spot when he watched Yin Zheng holding Jiaojiao.
God knows how stiff he felt when this tiny, soft little ball landed in his arms? He was afraid that if he accidentally used too much force, something might happen. With Yin Zheng's fearless nature, he would have buried him right there.
Jiaojiao, who had rich experience in being held, automatically found a comfortable position in his arms, reached out to take out the bottle in her pocket and started drinking.
Luo Andeli breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was drinking with a satisfied look on his face and didn't feel any discomfort. Then he started to walk around the house with Jiaojiao in his arms.
Yin Zheng is actually a very strange person. He has no distinct emotions, no distinct likes and dislikes, and he seems to treat everything equally. In other words, everything is like air in his eyes.
He doesn't even care about the most basic necessities of life, such as food, clothing, housing and transportation. He doesn't care what he wears or where he lives. As long as he can fill his stomach with food, he's fine.
Luo Andeli had only seen this situation in elderly people who were dying and had no attachment to life.
Yin Zheng would hunt exotic species and sell them at the market, but he didn't care how much they sold for, and he didn't care at all if others lowered his price.
It gives people the impression that he sells alien meat and alien cores just to survive. He doesn't care about the amount of money, as long as he can survive for the time being.
After carefully observing Yin Zheng's information, Luo Andeli even felt that it was unreasonable for him to sneak back and kill those who tricked him out of the outer city after being expelled from the outer city.
In fact, everything Yin Zheng showed didn't seem like someone who was obsessed with living. A person without fear certainly wouldn't fear death. A person without emotion, even someone who acted indifferent to everything, certainly wouldn't care if others deceived him.
So his anger after being expelled from the outer city came very suddenly, as if a pre-set program was suddenly triggered.
Luo Andeli carried Jiaojiao to Jiaojiao's room. He raised his eyebrows when he saw the wardrobe full of childlike fun and the big bed with railings inside, and then went to Yin Zheng's room.
In his not-so-high morals, he didn't have the awareness that he couldn't enter someone else's room without permission.
After glancing at the plush bear on the bedside table and the childlike carpet on the floor, he reached out and twirled the corner of the quilt.
Isn't it that cheap fabric?
Luo Andeli walked out of the room and went to the bathroom. After finding the small washbasin, small toilet and a row of baby toiletries inside, Luo Andeli was more and more surprised and couldn't help but look at Jiaojiao who was drinking milk in his arms.
The appearance of this child did change Yin Zheng's attitude towards life and made him become a little more human.
I just don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, because people have weaknesses!
Just when Luo Andeli was about to take a walk, Jiaojiao, who was drinking milk obediently in his arms, suddenly patted him and said, "Get down, Jiaojiao, come down."
After Luo Andeli put him down, he saw him running to the kitchen with the bottle in his arms. He then handed the bottle to Yin Zheng, reluctantly saying, "Daddy, drink."
Hey!
Looking at this scene, Luo Andeli felt inexplicably angry.
Yin Zheng bent down and took the bottle, then opened the lid of the pot and took a look at the porridge. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the porridge was not mushy.
Luo Andeli, who was leaning against the kitchen door frame, watched him cooking with the bottle in his mouth, and bit his cheek hard to prevent himself from laughing out loud.
"You're just feeding him porridge?" Luo Andeli said in surprise after looking around the kitchen and finding nothing else besides porridge. "If you feed him this much, he'll be fat."
"You have to eat meat, meat, you know?"
"When I was raising my nephews and nieces, I always fed them meat three times a day. They didn't like the food cooked by the chef but preferred mine..." Once Luo Andeli started talking nonsense, he couldn't stop, and kept talking about how much his nephews and nieces loved the food he cooked.
Hearing this, Yin Zheng turned around, opened the refrigerator, took out some meat and vegetables, and pushed them in front of him. Two different eyes looked at him calmly, "Teach me."
"...It's not good to eat too much greasy food early in the morning." Luo Andeli said this in an emergency.
A thought flashed through Yin Zheng's eyes, and finally he nodded and put the meat and vegetables back into the refrigerator.
After breakfast, Yin Zheng got a small notebook and pen from somewhere, sat down in front of Luo Andeli who was playing with Jiaojiao, and prepared to learn from him how to raise a child.
What could Luo Andeli do? He just closed his eyes and talked nonsense. Fortunately, he had looked up a lot of information on how to raise children on the Internet while Yin Zheng was in the kitchen.
"First of all, raising a child is particularly important in terms of diet. You need to pay attention to balanced nutrition. It's not okay to just feed him porridge like you did, even if it's porridge with shredded pork."
Luo Andeli pinched Jiaojiao's face as she leaned against Yin Zheng's arms: "Look, you won't be able to grow meat if you feed her like this."
He waved his hand and said, "Starting tomorrow, I'll make a list for you. If you follow the list, I guarantee you'll gain weight."
Yin Zheng paused and looked at him seriously: "I don't know how to do it, you teach me."
Luo Andeli stopped talking and his eyes twitched. He wanted to slap himself. Why did he talk nonsense about food? What the hell could he cook?
Yin Zheng took out a level five alien core from his pocket and handed it to him, saying concisely, "Reward."
Holding the hot alien core in his hand, Luo Andeli was hesitant to speak, and finally succumbed to Yin Zheng's serious gaze.
After receiving the alien core, Luo Andeli continued to talk nonsense, talking about everything from clothing, housing, transportation, entertainment and mentality. In the end, he successfully took on the task of temporarily helping to take care of the children when Yin Zheng went hunting in the Endless Sea.
Luo Andeli, who had successfully dug himself up again, looked at the seriousness in Yin Zheng's right eye and didn't know what to say.
No, are you so trusting?
You just threw the child in front of me. Aren’t you afraid that I will use him to blackmail you?
…………
Luo Andeli discovered a secret, the secret that a person without emotions would be too naive when giving a certain kind of emotion.
Just like the movie called "A World Growing on Ruins" that was a big hit on the Internet some time ago, the villain robot with the lowest IQ was invincible but was defeated by the heroine in the end.
Because the less you understand emotions and the less you understand the existence of emotions, the easier it is to be deceived by emotions.
Because they are pure in emotions and have never been contaminated, they do not understand deception or betrayal.
The complexity of human nature lies in the fact that they have fear, love, hate, desire, and greed, and people who have none of these are too gullible in some ways.
But that was only one aspect. Looking at the fresh ingredients laid out before him, Luo Andeli felt a little overwhelmed. He looked at Yin Zheng, who was standing at the kitchen door with a small notebook ready to take notes, and struggled to speak, "Is it necessary to make lunch so early? It's only ten o'clock now?"
Yin Zheng had a solemn face, and the scar on his left cheek looked even more hideous to Luo Andeli. "If you cook it early, you can make more. Don't worry, I can eat it all. There's nothing to waste."
Who cares whether you can finish it or not, or whether it’s wasteful or not!
If I poison him now, what are the chances that he will be killed when he tries to kill me?
Luo Andeli began to think seriously about this possibility.
Pulling at his father's trouser leg, he looked at him, then at Luo Andeli, and nodded. With his big dark eyes wide open, he followed his father and said softly, "It's edible. It's not a big deal."
Jiaojiao could understand some daily words that often appeared in the conversations between Yin Zheng and Jiaojiao, but they were still a little unclear when spoken.
Facing the bright, dark, and ignorant eyes, Luo Andeli's remaining conscience was awakened.
Putting aside the idea of poisoning, Luo Andeli gritted his teeth and started cooking.
Maybe it was true as he lied, he had some talent in cooking. Although the final result was not too delicious, it was at least not too salty or bland and was edible.
For Yin Zheng, who has been eating burnt meat and compressed biscuits for years, the dishes cooked by Luo Andeli are indeed delicious.
The same theory can also be applied to Jiaojiao.
Jiaojiao's eyes lit up as she was being fed by her father, and she looked at Luo Andeli with a hint of curiosity.
The pure admiration and curiosity in Jiaojiao's eyes gave Luo Andeli a sense of accomplishment, and he decided to call his brother when he got home, urging him to get married quickly and give him ten or eight nephews to play with.
After dinner, Luo Andeli left in a proud and confident manner, while Jiaojiao helped her father wash the dishes in the kitchen.
After cleaning the kitchen, Yin Zheng took Jiaojiao for two walks in the yard to help digest the food.
The afternoon sun fell on his tall body, and the shadow cast by it completely covered Jiaojiao who was walking with his trouser legs pulled up.
Yin Zheng lowered his head and looked at Jiaojiao who was walking seriously, not missing a single glance.
In another world that Yin Zheng temporarily forgot, his body lying in the nutrient tank had indeed undergone some operations.
It is not known which researcher initially proposed the idea of removing unnecessary elements from human genes to make room for other potential.
In the beginning, in order to avoid the fear of war, people prioritized eliminating fear, despair, and sadness.
By eliminating fear, humans have achieved remarkable results in warfare.
However, humans are greedy and ambitious. After tasting the sweetness of success, greed caused everything to develop in an unpredictable direction. In order to become more powerful and to occupy a place in the universe, they began to transform themselves unscrupulously.
First is the desire of the eyes, which are not attracted by beautiful sights. Then comes the desire of the ears, which are not swayed by praise or bad words. Then comes the desire of the body, which does not covet touch, enjoy, or comfort the nose... The desire of the mind, the desire of the mouth...
Joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, love, hate, and desire were all completely eliminated in the end.
They turned themselves into the greatest and most terrible weapon.
Until you have a long life, until you occupy the dominant position in the universe, until you have everything you have ever wanted, suddenly you go to destruction without any warning.
Humanity, devoid of all emotions, begins to crumble from within!
Yin Zheng was once the sharpest knife, but also the first to break.
He was rushed to the research department, his consciousness extracted, his memories erased, and he was thrown into another world. He once again possessed a complete body, devoid of any emotion. The people in the research department hoped that the emotions once possessed by humans would spark his desire to live.
So, Yin Zheng was like a blind man born blind, unaware that the world had colors and light. Suddenly, one day, he could vaguely see colors. For a variety of reasons, he instinctively blocked out those colors, yet he couldn't help but secretly cast his gaze towards them.
The idea of the World Research Department was good, but unfortunately they forgot that human emotions are very complex. They can make people feel good and stimulate the desire to survive, but they can also make people feel desperate and stimulate the desire for self-destruction.
Just before being destroyed again, Yin Zheng met Jiaojiao, a small, white, fragile child whose eyes were full of him.
The first soft and tender voice of "Dad" invisibly touched his heart, which had long been calm.
In the yard, Yin Zheng, who thought he had almost digested his food, bent down, picked up Jiaojiao, and walked towards the room to take a nap.
Luo Andeli said that nap is the key to whether a child can grow taller.
Yin Zheng remembered all the key points he said and followed them meticulously.
It was a novelty for Jiaojiao to sleep during the day for the first time. He first looked around the bright room and then at his father. His eyes like black grapes blinked and he showed no intention of sleeping at all.
Yin Zheng met his curious eyes, found a bedtime story on the Internet, and read it to him with a slight stutter.
The tone is cold and emotionless!
Not only did Jiaojiao not fall asleep, but she also started to recite along with him, "ah ah".
After reading a story, Yin Zheng's eyes met Jiaojiao's, who was nestled in his arms and playing with her feet.
Jiaojiao met her father's gaze, her big eyes slightly curved, and she gave him a lovely smile.
"…" Yin Zheng reached out and poked his face, then spoke slowly and hoarsely, "Will you go to the market with me to sell meat tomorrow?"
He planned to go to the Endless Sea early tomorrow morning, catch two pigeons, and hunt another alien species to sell on the street. With the money, he would take Jiaojiao to the outer city to buy toys and bring back all the ones she liked.
Originally, he didn't plan to take Jiaojiao out. The child was too young and too fragile, and it was too dangerous outside. However, Luo Andeli said that children need more contact with people to be mentally healthy.
Jiaojiao didn't understand the words "market" and "selling meat" which rarely appeared in his life, but he understood his father's question when he asked him if he wanted to go with him tomorrow.
"Yes." He grabbed Yin Zheng's sleeve, his dark eyes filled with Yin Zheng's image, and said crisply, "Yes, Jiaojiao wants to be with Daddy."
