Charles sighed.
"I want to heal you, too, Commander."
"The emergence of the mutant element threatens the entire empire. Some people have already mutated into insects. We cannot estimate how many potential mutants there are. This is a very terrifying thing."
"Its analysis report has been sent to Messiah's Life Science Academy headquarters. The Queen should have been informed and is currently making the next deployment."
"But the sample size is too small to conduct further research."
Shen Que said slowly: “I know, Doctor Li, I can wait, or I can continue to provide samples for research.”
He paused for a moment, opened his lips, and seemed to have made up his mind.
"There's one thing that Her Majesty the Queen originally forbade me to reveal to anyone. I previously thought it was unimportant, but now... I think it might be helpful for research."
Charles was stunned: "What."
Pei Ji frowned and muttered, "Why are you still hiding something from me?"
"Your Majesty won't allow me to say it, Admiral." Shen Que sighed softly, "It's also... not so glorious."
Pei Ji groaned in dissatisfaction, but the pheromones he slowly released still had a soothing effect.
Shen Que looked at Charles, and his fingertips tightened slightly.
"Actually... I was born with a physical defect. My glands are underdeveloped. Although I'm an Omega, I never had an estrus period or pheromones before I got hurt."
Pei Ji's expression froze. "Wait, so... the reason the Queen didn't let you tell me is..."
"She's afraid that Bai Shaxing will break off the engagement." Shen Que's cheeks flushed slightly.
"…I'm sorry, the situation was complicated."
"After waking up from the coma, I smelled my own pheromones for the first time, but I wasn't in estrus at that time. Because the age span of differentiation was so large, I thought it was delayed differentiation or... something like injury..."
"My pheromones become disordered as soon as they appear, making many medications ineffective. My health is getting worse and worse. Your Majesty is worried that I won't survive my first estrus period, so..."
"She used her optical computer to help me screen for matches, and unexpectedly, it happened to be you."
Pei Ji's eyes showed an unprecedented surprise. He opened his mouth and said, "...No wonder you said that the match is real and the marriage is real."
He understood something again, "No wonder Dad reacted like that when he heard about the marriage!"
"The lord must have found out something." Shen Que bit his lower lip unconsciously.
"He strongly requested a fertile Omega, but at the time no one was sure if I was capable..."
He raised his eyelids and looked at Pei Ji, his naturally cold eyes flashing with a complex light.
Pei Ji quickly held the poor little thing in his arms.
"It's okay, it's okay. That was his own request, not mine. Baishaxing is destined to have no next generation. I decided for him."
Charles also understood something, "No wonder... you didn't show any signs of estrus during the time Messiah was in a coma..."
His eyes lit up.
"So, you think it's not delayed differentiation or injury, but..."
Shen Que nodded.
"Maybe the mutant hormone repaired my glands."
The instrument was still humming, and the transparent liquid reflected a lavender light.
Charles murmured, "Although the Zerg's reproductive capacity is strong, it shouldn't be that... could it be?!"
He stood up quickly and read the test report again. As if he couldn't wait another minute, he said to the two of them:
"This information is very important. Thank you for telling me. I need to go and confirm something now, so I can't take you there. Sorry."
He gave Shen Que a final, deep look and said, "Give me some more time."
After Charles hurriedly left, only the bright white ceiling light and the two silent people were left in the laboratory.
"Can I ask a question?" Pei Ji broke the silence.
He faced Chen Que and slowly lowered his body.
"So... on the night of our wedding..."
"It's my first estrus period." Shen Que's eyelashes moved slightly, and a faint, subtle smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
"It's terrible. A disordered estrus. I don't even know how to deal with it."
"Really... I was pissed you off running around. But it's okay. I'll take care of it for you."
Pei Ji touched his cheek, his voice a little cautious, as if he was afraid of breaking something.
He remembered the refreshing scent of flowers that night and the smell of rain that almost drowned him.
"Can you... tell me what your pheromones smell like?" He was a little embarrassed, "I searched for a long time and couldn't find a flower with the same smell."
Shen Que's fair face was flushed again.
"You can't find this kind of flower on White Sand Star."
"It's very sensitive to temperature and only grows where there's a lot of rain. It blooms late at night after a rain."
It is not fragrant enough, nor sweet enough, and only when they bloom at the same time can you smell a light and elegant scent.
Most of the time, only the flower buds are so small that they are invisible. At first glance, they look like hazy stars.
But it is beautiful when it blooms.
After every rainstorm, Chen Que would sneak into the woods through the orphanage's loose door and wait quietly for the flowers to slowly open in the quiet night.
Like waiting for the moonlight to shine through the woods.
"It has the same name as the main star."
"Messiah."
The meaning is.
Savior.
…
Three days later, in the garden of Chenxing Palace.
“Messiah…Messiah…” Pei Ji flipped through the book on flowers and trees that Ai Fan had given to Chen Que.
