After Yan Yue finished talking about the house with Uncle Li, he returned to the flower garden and didn't see Lu Lingxi. After a little thought, he guessed where the boy was.
He walked over alone and saw from a distance that the boy and a dark-skinned little boy were sitting together. Two big dogs, one black and one yellow, were on each side, and the two people in the middle were touching their heads, and it seemed that they were chatting very enthusiastically.
Yan Yue's lips curled up, and he walked slowly in front of the two of them. "Xiao Xi." He just glanced at the little boy casually, and most of his attention was still on Lu Lingxi.
"Brother Yan, you're here." Lu Lingxi smiled slightly and tilted his head to greet him. I don't know if it's because the reference objects on his left and right are too dark, but the skin of Lu Lingxi in the middle is even whiter. However, this makes the red bump on his neck that was just bitten by a small insect become unusually obvious.
"What's going on?" Yan Yue squatted in front of him and whispered.
Lu Lingxi touched his neck and didn't care much. "It's okay, just a bug bite."
As the two talked, the little boy's round eyes rolled around. His instinct told him that the new big brother in front of him was paying attention to the handsome brother next to him, and he had no patience to listen to him. "Brother, I'm going home to eat first." He patted his butt and stood up, called Ah Huang, and ran away. Lu Lingxi was left dumbfounded. He hadn't had time to ask the little boy's name, and he had been listening to the little boy talking.
"Who is this kid?" Yan Yue asked curiously.
Lu Lingxi shook his head. "I haven't had time to ask for your name yet, but..."
"But what?"
Lu Lingxi thought about it and did not hide the conversation between him and the little boy. Although he promised the little boy that this was a secret between the two of them, in his eyes, he and Yan Yue were one, and telling Yan Yue was not a leak. After he finished speaking, Yan Yue did not speak for a while, but frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.
"Brother Yan?"
Yan Yue came back to his senses and looked at Lu Lingxi with indulgence, "Xiaoxi, what do you want to say?"
Lu Lingxi hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Last time I talked about animal evolution."
This was not the first time the two had brought up this topic, but this time Yan Yue did not think that Lu Lingxi was overthinking it. Instead, he nodded slightly and agreed, "It's possible, but it's not certain yet." Perhaps influenced by Lu Lingxi, Yan Yue had recently read a lot of information about the earth's ecological environment. He found that he had thought too simply before. Plants, animals, and even humans are all in a large ecosystem, and they influence each other. Any slight change in one of them will bring about overall changes. Not to mention the huge variable of plant evolution. As the saying goes, a single move affects the whole body. Whether it is animals or humans, they should change with the evolution of plants and changes in the environment. As for the results of the changes, Yan Yue tends to be in a good direction.
Take Lingshui Village as an example. Since the evolution of the big willow tree, the environment of the whole village has been much better than before. Many villagers have said that they are in good health recently, have more energy to eat and work, and the elderly are no longer sick as before. Yan Yue thinks that to some extent, this should be considered evolution. "This is not a bad thing." He concluded, "If animals can evolve, humans should be able to evolve as well. Whether it is evolving to a stronger body or a smarter mind, the overall trend is good. Of course, if the direction of evolution is to communicate with animals, it is also good, just like Xiaoxi and Dahei."
Hearing his name, Dahei called out calmly. Lu Lingxi gently touched its head and felt that this was not a bad thing.
After the two finished talking, Yan Yue helped Lu Lingxi put away his tools and led him back to the courtyard. Neither of them thought much about the possible evolution of animals and humans. Everything was just their speculation, and it was not certain whether it was true. Besides, even if humans would eventually evolve, Lu Lingxi, who had the panel, would definitely be the first to evolve, so there was really nothing to worry about.
After washing up in the evening, Yan Yue held Lu Lingxi in his arms and bit the boy's ear and joked in an ambiguous tone: "As the old saying goes, if one person succeeds, the whole family will prosper. Should I hold Xiaoxi's thighs tightly now?" As he spoke, his hand slid down along Lu Lingxi's waist. As he moved, Lu Lingxi moved her body uncomfortably, and the tips of her ears turned slightly red.
As expected, Dahei was once again driven out to sleep that night. Yan Yue was already very familiar with this matter now. Lu Lingxi spoke for Dahei, and Yan Yue hugged and kissed him while considerately suggesting that Dahei find a "wife" so that Dahei's attention would be diverted from Lu Lingxi.
Lu Lingxi: “…”
The two of them slept well that night. Before leaving the next day, Lu Lingxi went to Lingshui River to take another look. The clumps of Vallisneria in the entire Vallisneria ecological community have all evolved, and the evolutionary direction of homologous plants is the same. I don’t know if it’s his illusion, starting from the location of the Vallisneria ecological community, the water downstream seems to gradually become clearer. He found a mineral water bottle and filled three bottles of water in different places, intending to go home and test the cyanide content in the water.
After doing this, Lu Lingxi tried to dig a few evolved Vallisneria plants and walked upstream for a while, wanting to transplant them to the bottom of the Lingshui River to see if they could form another Vallisneria ecological community, but the result was not satisfactory. On the panel, the range of the Vallisneria ecological community that was formed first was not fixed. Like the willow ecological community, it was also slowly spreading to both sides with the flow of water, but it was not as obvious as the big willow. Maybe this is the difference between the first-level plants and the second-level plants?
After finishing the matter in Lingshui Village, Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue returned to Fengcheng. To his surprise, Wang Chaoliang was waiting for him at the door of Micro Gardening early in the morning, and he seemed to have something urgent to do.
"Xiaoxi, you are finally here."
As soon as Lu Lingxi got out of the car, Wang Chaoliang came to meet him. His face was a little pale, his eyes were full of red bloodshot, and the dark circles under his eyes were very obvious, but his face was indescribably excited. With his eyes wide open, he pulled Lu Lingxi hard, "Uncle Wang." Lu Lingxi was a little scared by his posture.
Yan Yue found Wang Chaoliang's actions a bit irritating and calmly pulled Lu Lingxi away.
Wang Chaoliang also realized that his reaction was too exaggerated. He smiled awkwardly, rubbed his hands, and said to Lu Lingxi: "Xiaoxi scared you. Uncle Wang is really happy. Do you still remember the pot of spider plant I took away from the store?"
Lu Lingxi glanced at Yan Yue subconsciously and nodded slightly.
Wang Chaoliang didn't notice his action. He said excitedly: "It's that spider plant. You know it's different from ordinary spider plants and seems to be more evolved, right?" Without waiting for Lu Lingxi to nod, he continued: "I've studied it. The genetic genes of this spider plant are very stable. Xiaoxi, do you know what this means? It means that the new seedlings bred from this spider plant have similar characteristics. It is no longer an ordinary spider plant, but a new variety."
At this point, Wang Chaoliang excitedly took out a magazine from his bag, which was a very important magazine in the field of plant science. He turned directly to the first few pages, which contained his research report on a new variety of spider plant.
Lu Lingxi took the magazine curiously, and Wang Chaoliang scratched his head in embarrassment. "Uncle Wang's research results have been approved by the Botanical Garden. I don't know how to thank you, Xiaoxi. Uncle Wang doesn't have anything else, so I helped you apply for the variety rights of the new type of spider plant, which is also a thank you to you, Xiaoxi."
Seeing that Lu Lingxi didn't seem to understand what the variety rights of new plants were, Wang Chaoliang explained sincerely, "The right to apply for new plant varieties and the variety rights are a type of industrial property rights, a bit like patent rights, which are a type of intellectual property rights. At present, the country's protection in this regard is quite complete. According to regulations, the variety rights of spider plants will last for 15 years from the date of authorization. Within 15 years, you will have exclusive rights to the reproduction, promotion, and sale of this new type of spider plant. Of course, you can also authorize it to others. It all depends on your own wishes. Xiaoxi, you don't understand these things, and you may not know how great social and economic benefits a new variety of plants can bring. You should make good use of this opportunity to promote the brand of micro-gardening."
He spoke too fast, and Lu Lingxi didn't react for a moment. Yan Yue understood Wang Chaoliang's words. In fact, he didn't know much about plant variety rights, but that didn't stop him from understanding what Wang Chaoliang meant. Yan Yue was a little surprised. According to Wang Chaoliang, a new plant variety can bring huge economic and social benefits, but he gave them to Lu Lingxi, which made Yan Yue look up to him.
Lu Lingxi slowly figured out what Wang Chaoliang said, and his first reaction was to refuse. Although he was indeed the one who successfully evolved the spider plant, he actually did nothing. Instead, it was Wang Chaoliang who had been studying it attentively during this period. "Uncle Wang, I..."
Wang Chaoliang interrupted him and said, "Xiaoxi, don't refuse. If it weren't for you, Uncle Wang wouldn't have this research. In the final analysis, it's all because of you. This is what you deserve."
He left in a hurry after he finished speaking. He had been focusing all his attention on this research for a while. He was relieved until the magazine was published today. Now there are still many things waiting for him to do. For Wang Chaoliang, economic value is nothing. What matters in the plant circle is the weight of your research, not who is richer.
As soon as he left, Lu Lingxi was left looking at Yan Yue helplessly, not knowing how to deal with the situation.
Yan Yue chuckled, embraced Lu Lingxi and kissed him on the forehead, and made the final decision: "He is right, this is what Xiaoxi deserves. Besides, Xiaoxi, don't you want to improve the environment? This is a good opportunity for promotion."
Wang Chaoliang's move surprised Yan Yue, but to some extent, it was an accidental help to Yan Yue and Lu Lingxi. Yan Yue had just asked An Jie to register a plant technology company a few days ago. It was originally for the convenience of launching Vallisneria in the market, and now it was just right to get familiar with the process with Chlorophytum. If Wang Chaoliang hadn't done this, the Chlorophytum in micro-gardening would have been just an ordinary Chlorophytum, but once Wang Chaoliang's research results came out, the Chlorophytum in micro-gardening became a new type of Chlorophytum that absorbs formaldehyde more effectively. In comparison, social value and environmental value are superior to economic value.
