Chapter 249 Chapter 249 A sharp contrast
The behavior of these two unfamiliar Gavin people made Li Hua ask No. 666 in his heart:
Aren't the people of Gavin very smart?
So what's going on with these two people?
No. 666 said: [Maybe it's because they're stupid. After all, stupidity is a personality issue, not an IQ issue.]
Li Hua looked at the Gavin alien, who was turning his back and quickly using his tongue to wipe away the evidence on his hand: [...Such a small creature, yet it can't even hide and eat. Is it really that smart?]
Are you busy licking your hands and not wiping your mouth?
No. 666: [Albedo can't even bring himself to eat chili fries, he's childishly blaming others and arguing with Benjamin. Can you say he's not stupid? No. But at the same time, Albedo can single-handedly create a replica of the Omnitrix with exactly the same performance. Can you say he's not smart? No.]
...It's such a powerful argument that it's impossible to refute.
Li Hua took a few tissues from the dining table and handed them to the two Gavin people. "I won't complain. Please wipe your hands and mouths."
"Thank you, you're so kind."
The two Gavins took the tissues from Li Hua and cleaned themselves up. Afterward, the Gavin, who looked more... stocky and without tentacles, took the initiative to speak.
"Hello, I'm Driba, nice to meet you."
The tall and thin Gavin, with tentacles on his chin and a small hat on his head, said, "I'm Bruch, and we're technicians assigned by the Earth Celestial Union."
"Hello, I'm Li Hua." Li Hua extended two fingers to shake their hands. "You are truly the friendliest Gavin people I have ever met."
"We Galvans are friendly... well, mostly," Triba said. "But you know, there are always some unfriendly people everywhere. We Galvans are very intelligent, so there are always some who are particularly arrogant and look down on other species."
"Where did you meet that unfriendly Gavin? You can whisper bad things to us," Bruchi said. "After all, we're not familiar with the other Gavins at the Earth base."
Li Hua: "The first Gavin person I met was Azmis."
Triba: "...The Azmis, the creator of the Omnitrix? The one who said something particularly hurtful?"
Bruchi: "The one who's always angry?"
"Yes." Li Hua gestured. "He's this tall, his beard is longer than Bruce's, and his temper is inversely proportional to his height, but he's not a bad person."
"That's not surprising. Mastermind Azmis is known for his bad temper even on Gavin," said Bruch. "Don't be sad. Azmis isn't targeting you."
Cui Ba patted Li Hua's hand sympathetically. "Yeah, don't take it personally. Azmis's bad temper is directed at everyone. In that respect, he's quite fair."
Li Hua:.......
Even people who respect their own people say so. Azmis, it was not unfair for you to take the physical straight ball from the thunder bomb back then.
As everyone knows, secretly saying bad things about the same person is the best way to build relationships and promote conversation. And Li Hua was more happy to chat with Cui Babluchi, who obviously shared the same passion for food, rather than with other people he didn't know what to talk about and didn't know.
Li Hua asked Triba and Bruch, "Are you two brothers?"
"No," said Tripa, who was more lively and talkative. "But we are more than brothers. Bluechi and I have known each other since we were tadpoles!"
Bruchi said, "Yes. We took the exam together, joined the Gavin security team together, launched a spacecraft together and ended up on Earth together, and met Mark together... He was only a little older than you back then. Only fifty years have passed, and his grandchildren are already this age."
"It's not 'a little older' or 'only fifty years have passed,' Bruch," Tribba said. "Earthlings grow at a different rate than we Gavins do, and a few years makes a big difference to them."
"Time flies by so fast," said Bruchi. "You Earthlings grow up so fast."
As Jason had speculated before, the time perception of the Gavins in normal state is completely different from that of the Earthlings. For these two Gavins, fifty years is just a blink of an eye.
Li Hua asked Cui Ba, "If you are the same age, then why don't you have a beard? I thought you Gavins grew tentacles when you got older, just like the carp on Earth."
Bruchi laughed and said, "Because Tribba is too fat, his tentacles are stretched out."
Cui Ba put his hands on his hips and said angrily, "I'm called strong! And more fat storage will help me cope with long-term work and keep me looking younger!"
Li Hua: “…….Ah?”
I never thought it would be this reason.
"Is it hard to understand?" Triba said, "Just like your wrinkles, if you accumulate more fat, your wrinkles will be reduced."
Sometimes, seemingly fascinating questions can be answered with just the simplest knowledge of physics.
A blue moth sneaked up to Li Hua's head, sniffed it like a thief, and then stretched out its underdeveloped little hand to wipe it.
After discovering that the guardian's hair didn't have a pungent smell and didn't feel strangely stiff or uncomfortable to the touch, "He" let out a small cry of delight and quickly coiled around Li Hua's head. Its dark blue wings embraced the guardian's head, resembling a dark blue hat with a unique pattern.
The moth language in the guardian's head is that you'll lose everything if you're slow!
In order to host today's banquet, Benjamin was forced by his family to dress up. He sprayed his hair with spray and wore a suit, which was enough to show how much importance he attached to today's party to announce the children's identities.
But in the eyes of the newly intelligent ice ghost cubs, even their mother's head, which had been particularly suitable for nesting today, became pungent and irritating. Even their mother's shell (clothes), which they could usually hang on, became slippery, making the moth's experience of staying there extremely unpleasant.
They don't like this party. There are too many strangers, and there are always strangers who want to come over and touch them...
The ice ghost cubs wanted to leave the room and find some peace and quiet, but they found that the walls and floors of the room were impenetrable. They didn't want to leave their parents, but their parents were the hardest hit by the group of strangers.
That's why the ice ghost cubs would excitedly shout and rush to Li Hua's face when they saw his other familiar guardian appear, and would sneak over to him when their parents weren't paying attention, just like they are doing now.
At first, due to the school's appearance inspection, Li Hua had a buzz cut. This short length prevented babies from grabbing his hair, saving Li Hua from having to grit his teeth and fight against babies' hands to protect his hair and scalp, as Jason and Benjamin did.
But now, as the months passed, Li Hua's hair grew steadily as his experience showed. At this time, he was grabbed by the aggrieved Ice Ghost Cub, which had gained a lot of weight and physique. He felt that his scalp was about to leave his body along with his soul.
Babies have strong hands, and Nakfuji babies have especially strong hands.
Even the two hairless Gavins gasped, and Bruchi exclaimed, "Wow, this is definitely going to hurt."
"Hey my little ancestor, if you have something to say, just talk it over instead of pulling my hair."
In order to protect his poor scalp, the painful Li Hua had to press the wings of the ice ghost cub to reduce the secondary damage to his scalp caused by gravitational potential energy and the weight of the moth.
"Lower your head!"
Cuiba and Bruch jumped onto Li Hua's shoulders and used their small size to get under the wings of the Ice Ghost cub. No one knew what they did, but the Ice Ghost cub clucked twice and let go.
"Thank you, that's a great help."
Li Hua quickly caught the rebellious brat in his arms to prevent him from jumping on his head, and thanked Triba and Bruch who jumped back onto the table.
"What did you do? Every time they started pulling at our hair we had to work so hard to get them to let go."
But the ice ghost cubs haven't done this for a long time. What happened today?
"We tickled his little spot." Triba showed his fingers in front of Li Hua and said proudly, "Baby Nakfuji's shell is very tender, and the Gavin people's small and powerful fingers will make it very itchy!"
"You guys are geniuses!"
After Li Hua finished speaking, he cast his gaze towards the ice ghost cub in his hands, which was stretching out its two short hands and intending to return to its godfather's head. He placed it on his knees, bent down and pretended to be angry and scolded the child.
"Little Thirteen, have adults ever taught you that you shouldn't grab someone's hair without saying hello?"
The ice ghost cub could distinguish the tone and expression of its guardian. Seeing that the guardian it had finally found was angry, it immediately lowered its big watery green eyes and looked at Li Hua pitifully.
Li Hua felt a little soft-hearted, but the dull pain in his scalp told him that as a guardian he still had to criticize this behavior: "It hurts to have your hair pulled, so I won't play with you tomorrow."
Now, even the pair of wings on top of its head that usually stood up like rabbit ears and moth antennae drooped down, and it let out a cry of grievance and guilt.
Li Hua: “…”
So cute, but I can't give in! I can't even hold the poor little ice ghost in my arms and rub it!
Otherwise, if they develop the habit of grabbing hair, when they grow up and have more strength, they will directly pull off people's scalps.
The Ice Ghost Cub sat dejectedly, like a depressed blue winged teddy bear.
"Nakfuji cubs are very vigilant. There were too many people here today. Perhaps this individual was timid and got scared."
Cui Ba squatted at the edge of the dining table, bent down and patted the big head of the ice ghost cub, then patted his chest and said to Li Hua.
"But you can rest assured, we have installed super barriers throughout the entire venue. We will never let a baby Nakfuji get lost!"
"So we weren't stealing food earlier. We were just replenishing our energy after work. We're Gavin people who follow the rules," Bruch said. "But please don't tell Mark. We don't want to be scolded."
At this moment, Li Hua really wanted to cross time and space to pull Azmis and Albedo over and let them learn from Bruch and Triba's frankness.
We are all from Gavin. Look at them, then look at you!
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Li Hua's stereotype that the Gavins are bad-tempered and difficult to approach is because the first pure-blooded Gavin he came into contact with was Azmis, and the second was the explosive Albedo. He once wondered whether it was the social culture of the Gavins that it was better to keep silent than to speak.
