Chapter 65 [Extra] Lantern Festival 6

Sun Tun, mezzanine. Reception room.

Su Xi walked down the stairs slowly and saw him at a glance.

Reiner Asai Zoe, now the de facto ruler of the Siren Galaxy, has gradually lost the androgynous facial features of his youth and has gradually acquired the firmness of a man.

Reina Assayi stood there straight with his military cap in his hand, chatting with the captain of the guard, Gary, about what happened after they separated.

The orcs of his clan develop very slowly during their infancy and adolescence. Most of them cannot survive the developmental stage of 'transition to adulthood', and forever remain in the incompletely developed adolescence, ending the activity of their gene telomeres and heading towards 'death' or 'degeneration'.

However, due to the disaster in his childhood, the teenage Asai rebelled and refused the help of the 'Zowei' family. He exiled himself to the Siren Galaxy and mixed with a group of pirates, waiting for the end of his own 'degeneration'.

However, fate took a clever turn and he met Su Xi and experienced what happened next.

Now, after two rounds of "complete gene integration", he has evolved into the peak state of the orc gene. After leaving behind the rebelliousness and decadence of his youth, Reina Asai has become a powerful man with an awe-inspiring aura.

Looking at the strong orc with blond hair and golden eyes standing upright, Su Xi suddenly felt a little proud. After all, to some extent, this was also her cub who grew up under her watch.

Of course, Reiner Assay also saw her at first sight. He did not salute her like Gary did. Instead, he grinned at her. The seriousness he had just shown when chatting with Gary fell away. His brilliant smile was as hot and dazzling as the sun on a summer afternoon.

Only when he smiled at her did this sunny and resolute adult beastman reveal a bit of youthfulness.

"Su Xi!"

He strode forward, opened his arms and gave her a warm hug. Not surprisingly, he smelled the scent of this omega, and then let her go without a word.

"Long time no see."

"I missed you so much."

Having gotten rid of the arrogance and awkwardness of his youth, he spoke frankly and honestly.

Gary, who was standing by, had tried to stop Reina when he came forward, but it was obviously unsuccessful. When he saw Reina Asai stretching his arms to hug him, the captain's heart almost stopped beating for a moment, and he almost couldn't help wanting to glance at the location of the surveillance camera.

But he held back.

Fortunately, Reina Assay hugged me for a moment and then let me go.

Su Xi smiled and moved a little distance away, then returned the greeting, and the two walked towards the sofa side by side.

"you……"

"you--"

They both spoke at the same time, then paused and smiled at each other. Su Xi made a pause gesture, turned around and smiled at Gary.

"Gary, please."

Gary breathed a sigh of relief. It was not right for a guard like him to stand by and watch such a situation. He was grateful for Su Xi's thoughtfulness and he readily withdrew.

The universal robot brought the drink, and Su Xi took a sip before putting it down. The adult leopard in front of her had his originally messy blond hair neatly combed back with hair wax, revealing his full forehead.

Under his resolute brows, his golden eyes watched her every move intently without blinking.

Su Xi was not affected, instead her tone became serious: "Can you tell me now? It's only been a short time since you were promoted to 3S, why are you so anxious?"

In front of her, Reina Assay was always relaxed and casual.

As soon as Gary left, they were the only two people left in the spacious public reception room. Reiner, who had been so imposing and looked like a tough soldier, seemed to have visibly changed into a different person. He leaned back lazily and sat on the sofa with his legs raised.

The sofa in the public reception room does not have the specially customized shaping function like the one in the private living room. It is just a hard seat with simple lines.

Even so, in this spacious, bright, futuristic and simple living room, he was forced to sit like he was lying in a lazy cat bed.

"Asay! Sit still and answer my questions."

He said, "It's so annoying! Don't lecture me as soon as we meet."

The atmosphere between the two people was good when they first met, but now, after just one or two words, the atmosphere took a strange turn.

However, after Reina Asai finished his retort, he just looked at her, with an inexplicable expectation in his half-closed eyes.

Su Xi didn't move a finger, still sitting obediently opposite him. To Reina Asai, in the past scenes, the person who doted on him without any reason would have thrown something at him.

And now in this real world, her amber eyes, still as clear and beautiful as before, just looked at him quietly.

There are no unnecessary expressions and no unnecessary emotions.

The air was slightly stagnant.

The pheromone isolator under the military-style button well concealed the depressed mood he exuded at that moment of loss.

Finally, it was Su Xi who broke the silence. She said, "Can you tell me in detail? I really want to know."

"It's just the same thing. A few kids who just awakened their spiritual power are disobedient..."

He gave a few words of explanation without much interest and then stopped talking.

Reina Asai blinked, and a strong sense of bitterness surged in his heart.

"I have a suggestion," Su Xi said with a cautious look, "but it's up to you to decide whether to adopt it or not."

After a long while, he exhaled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to whatever you say."

"Your Beast Academy, why don't you consider inviting Edelman to be a guest instructor?"

"Although the conflict between orcs and pure humans is still acute, the overall fusion trend of the Siren Galaxy is unchangeable. We just need to find a suitable entry point. Edelman is a man with a very special temperament. He has no discrimination against orcs..."

But Reina Asai had no good feelings towards Edelman. He raised his eyebrows indifferently, but rarely did he refute her immediately. Instead, he secretly listened to the omega talking about his thoughts with a feeling of nostalgia.

Su Xi was immersed in her own thoughts and did not immediately notice the thoughts of the blond alpha opposite her. She carefully expressed her long-term plan, "With his leadership and appeal, I can bring a group of followers with me, and slowly transplant the mature spiritual power training system of the central galaxy to the Beast God Planet..."

"He's the first choice that I can think of."

"Of course, given his personality, we can't expect him to stay on the Beast God Planet for a long time to do the most basic teaching work, but as a benchmark figure, his role is undoubtedly huge..."

"Reina! Are you listening!?"

Seeing the blond alpha opposite him clearly entering a trance-like state, Su Xi couldn't help but feel a familiar surge of anger.

However——

"Sorry, I wasn't listening."

Su Xi was furious!

"Tell me, apart from this, what else did you consider when you mentioned Edelman?" He suddenly looked at her seriously. "It's a 'consideration' related to me."

Su Xi didn't want to talk at all.

"You're not the type to think about specific policies," Reina Asai said, his golden eyes blinking slightly, revealing a look of joy. "If you can keep nagging for so long, it must be related to me."

"Go ahead and I'll listen."

His expression calmed down and he looked at her seriously.

"It does have something to do with you, but I didn't bring it up."

"Yeah. I guessed it."

Reina Asai curled his lips in disdain. Of course he knew who it was.

"I suggest you try to work with Edelman a few times. Apart from his weird temper, he is indeed an excellent mentor," Su Xi said very slowly, "But if you want to follow him for the trial, you need to break the previous mental circuit and rebuild a new mental model..."

At this point, Su Xi frowned, "This is a suggestion that has both opportunities and risks."

"Then what do you want me to choose?" The blond alpha, no longer as innocent as a teenager, had a look of slight longing on his face.

"I can't choose for you anymore," Su Xi looked him straight in the eye and said word by word, "That's your own life."

Looking at the sudden fragility that flashed across the other's face, as if he was an abandoned baby, trembling in the cardboard box, looking helplessly at the strange street.

Su Xi couldn't help but grab his hand tightly, "Asay!"

She called him!

Reina Assay came back to his senses.

"Asay."

Su Xi's voice became hoarse, and she slowly let go of his hand.

Seeing her trying to remain calm but with worry in her eyes that could not be concealed no matter what, he slowly lowered his head.

I smiled at myself in my heart.

"Okay," he said when he looked up, with a nonchalant expression, "I'll think about it seriously."

After saying this, there was a moment of silence between the two.

"How are Foxtail and the others?"

Su Xi changed the subject.

"Everything is fine."

What followed was some innocuous chat, but it didn't last too long. The second hand of the clock just passed the quarter-hour mark.

Not a minute more, not a second less.

At this moment, the chief guard Gary pushed the door open and bowed. Gary said to Reina Asai expressionlessly, "The first leader of the Siren Alliance, Reina Asai Zowei, His Highness has summoned you for a brief meeting regarding the next election for the Beast God Planet."

"The relevant personnel are already in place, and they are just waiting for you."

Reina Assay responded appropriately.

蘇熙站起來送他，看着他戴上軍帽，一如剛才第一眼那副堅毅成熟的鐵血軍人的模樣。

“可以再停留幾天嗎？五個星際日後，就是獸神行星的元宵節了，”金發alpha的嗓音低沉，“你上次的建議，我跟狐尾商量過之後打算先在谷神行星試點推廣。這次的獸神行星的元宵祭祀上，将會正式宣布這件事。”

“如果作為‘源始者’的你能在現場，那是最好不過的事情。”

護衛長加裏在一旁杵着，剛想開口催促。

然而這個時候，雷納阿薩伊卻挪動了腳步，站在了一個極為巧妙的位置，恰好擋住了幾個監視器拍攝到蘇熙的表情。而他自己卻更刻意的暴露在監視器的監控範圍之內。

成年已久的金發alpha，已經比蘇熙高出許多，就那麽站在那裏就是一種無言的威懾。

雷納阿薩伊低下頭，慢慢的沖着蘇熙展開一個極富男性魅力的微笑，于此相應的alph息素毫不掩飾的表達着他的意圖。

加裏心裏捏了一把冷汗。

蘇熙當然察覺到了，但并沒有管他那些刻意的行為，以及心裏轉的那些小九九，她很認真的考慮了一下雷納阿薩伊的提議。

雖然這個提議很讓人動心，特別是獸神行星上在‘元宵’時上升的兩顆藍色圓月，以及光源之海美麗到極致的潮汐之舞……那樣的美麗壯闊，只見識一次怎麽夠？

但想到自家那個醋王，蘇熙還是委婉的拒絕了。

雷納阿薩伊滿不在乎的笑了一笑，這時似乎才透露出那個豹耳少年的一點點影子。

“謝謝你，蘇熙。”

“湯圓很甜。”

獸人的禮儀中，并沒有吻手禮，可雷納阿薩伊一向不在乎所謂的常理和規矩。

一個标準的吻手禮，金發alpha垂下頭，墊着自己的手指，輕烙下一個吻。他眉目微擡，望向她的金眸裏依舊閃爍着那種熟悉的情感，滿滿的都是毫不猶豫的信任和依戀。

“期待下次‘元宵’見。”

他果斷的放開她，然後跟着幾乎僵硬得同手同腳的護衛長加裏，走進了前往上層會議室的電梯。

電梯合攏的最後一瞬，一臉嚴肅的金發alpha突然沖她眨了眨眼。

一如成功惡作劇的少年。

蘇熙精致如昔的臉龐，慢慢的泛起一個笑，然後嘆息着搖搖頭。她想着心事，慢吞吞的沿着螺旋的樓梯回到了艦艇生活艙。

*

吞日號改裝後的生活艙位于最頂層，曾經觀星廳的位置。

小巧的起居室位于最中心，正好在圓形的穹頂之下。只不過此刻停靠的狀态下卻是關閉的。

起居室的兩邊是蘇熙和菲茨傑拉德各自的卧室。

是的。不管是在行星上的府邸，還是在艦艇上的房間，貴族以上階層合法AO的夫妻雙方，私人的起居範圍都是嚴格區分的。

最開始陷入熱戀的蘇熙還有點不明白，鬧着要跟菲茨傑拉德住在一起，直到——

直到她在某人的‘幫助’下真正的渡過了一次正式的發情期。

那之後，蘇熙幡然醒悟，雖然固化的階層總避免不了有一些冗餘的陳腐規矩，但‘存在即合理’。不能住得那麽近果然有深刻的道理，然後等她提出要‘回歸傳統’的時候，當然被某個已嘗到味道的alpha給義正言辭的駁回了。

然後她第二次發情期到來了，這一次無論是腺體的成熟度，還是身體狀況都好了很多。已經開過葷的某個alpha，難免少了點克制，最後等菲茨傑拉德回過神來，自家的omega已經是一副凄慘得不得了的樣子。

再懊悔也沒用，第二天就只得老老實實的吩咐把新的房間給裝修出來。

就這樣，兩個發情期新手才算磕磕碰碰的就‘住哪兒’‘怎麽住’‘做什麽’‘做到什麽樣的程度’達成了基本的共識。

磨合之路很漫長。樂趣也不少。

其實按理說，吞日號生活艙的陳設和房間布局，都是非常不符合皇室相關的禮儀規範的。

但是這裏卻是蘇熙最喜歡的居所之一。

小小的蝸居，讓她有一種熟悉的安心感。

現在這裏沒有人，那個男人被叫去開會了。哦，或許應該說是他嫌剛打完仗時間太空閑，故意折騰一個會議出來。

蘇熙心裏沒有半點同情的想，小時候的豹貓就心眼兒特別多，長大成人經過兩次完整基因修複的強獸人，更不好對付，這個會議估計不會那麽早結束的。

蘇熙踢掉了鞋，簡單洗漱了一下。就拉了一塊毯子，從移動書架中随意抽出了一本紙書，窩在沙發上随意翻了起來。

納米智能塑型沙發按照她細微的姿勢調整，貼心的變化成一個雲朵一樣軟蓬蓬的窩，慢慢離地十五厘米，懸浮着漂起來。

沒翻兩頁，完全放松下來的蘇熙，就這麽睡着了。

*

或許是長達四個月的時間，都缺少這種真正意義上睡眠，也或許是私密空間中熟悉的氣味讓人安心，這一覺她睡得非常沉。

中間似乎被一雙有力的手臂給抱起來，輕微的颠簸後被放置在一處更舒适柔軟的地方，又似乎還有熟悉的嗓音呢喃着貼在耳邊說着深情甜蜜的情話，可她只迷迷糊糊的掀了一下眼皮，在對方的胸膛上蹭了一蹭，就抱緊了男人的腰，徹底昏沉沉的睡了過去。

吞日號的起航，一如既往的平穩。

一路上，吞日號在飛梭狀的‘時空躍遷模式’和銀灰色海蝠狀的‘巡航模式’之間跳轉自如，偶遇行星帶亂流的時候，吞日號的生物中樞依舊條件反射性的張口吞噬，跳躍折騰……

但無論外面是什麽狀況，處于何等環境之下，吞日號裝載的那個小小的生活艙，都一副美人安眠，歲月靜好的模樣。

菲茨傑拉德并沒有睡，雖然他多少有點睡意，但隔了四個半月才重新把她攏在懷裏，無論如何也舍不得就這麽‘安靜’的睡覺。

但他更舍不得吵醒她。

蘇熙醒了。

她精神飽足的打了一個哈欠，然後映入眼簾的是赤裸光滑的胸膛，她略一擡頭，就對上一雙溫柔極了的眼。

菲茨傑拉德披着睡袍，半卧着陪她躺在卧室的床上，她展眼一看，這是他的卧室。

然後——

她看見了他手上拿的筆記本。

剛睡醒臉蛋紅撲撲的omega，這下臉更紅了！

“快！還我！”

菲茨傑拉德此時早已經解開了束發，及肩的紅發随意披散，一副含笑慵懶的樣子。

“這不是你要送我的禮物嗎？”

“我等了半天，等到你打呼嚕了都不醒，難道不能自己拆嗎？”

蘇熙被他調侃得耳朵更紅了，那是她的雲游日記，想他了就會随手記一點心情或者某些奇妙的小點子。

原本并不打算讓他看見，但實在是因為雷納的事情，兩人又鬧口角，以往的小伎倆都不好哄了。

她才打算舍掉羞恥心，在衆生之柱面前，念首情詩表個白什麽的。

那知道一下子睡過頭，不但錯過了衆生之柱的航線，還把整個本子都暴露在目标對象的面前。

“不用害羞，”他低下頭揉着她的腦袋，認真的說，“我很喜歡。”

“也不用懊悔。你沒有錯過‘衆生之柱’的航線。”

“擡頭看看，嗯？”

卧室的落地幕簾慢慢打開，透明的舷窗外，年輕的衆生之柱就在他們視野最好的正前方。

“在觀測站你休歇的宿舍，我就不小心看到了你的筆記。”

“啊？”

“會怪我翻動你的東西嗎？”

“不不不！”蘇熙讨好的湊上前去，啵幾了一下，“我最喜歡你‘翻’我的東西了。”

作為‘得過且過星人’，有這樣一個對環境整潔要求極高，并且熱愛自己動手的男盆友！簡直就是最幸福的了好不好！

蘇熙環視一周，發現落地舷窗旁已經準備好了一架視界望遠鏡。

她起身走過去，熟練的操作起來。

“你來看。”

“就在剛才，”她拉着他的手，圈住自己的腰，然後又把他的頭按得低了一點，這個姿勢讓兩個腦袋挨在一塊兒，正好共享一個觀測視線。

蘇熙興奮的說：“在‘宙墓’湮滅的地方，衆生之柱有了新的波動。”

“我還想再追溯幾次，”蘇熙眼裏閃着極為璀璨的光芒，她望着視界望遠鏡中呈現出的奇妙景觀，低聲說：“說不定能開辟出一條次元通道……”

正在說話的時候，年輕的衆生之柱，再次噴發出一條新生的星域。

“啊！快看！”

蘇熙滿足的眯着琥珀色的眼眸，放松的靠在身後的胸膛上，像貓咪一樣伸展着腰肢，任由自家的alpha拱着腦袋在側臉、耳垂和腺體之間來回的溫柔親吻，早以熟悉他親昵的愛撫，蘇熙放松身體極為配合的敞開着自己。

Every reaction, every subtle entanglement, was played out in the small fighting room by the dance of the increasingly dense A-factor in the air.

She exclaimed, "So beautiful."

"It is very beautiful," he said, but he lowered his eyes to look at her.

Fitzgerald absentmindedly held her waist with one hand, and pulled! Her soft, concave curves were even closer to his hardness, so close that they were inseparable, as if they were mountains and valleys that had been leaning against each other since the creation of the world, a natural intimacy. With the other hand, he untied the long straps of her nightgown and wrapped her in his arms, who was only wearing a thin silk nightgown.

Like wrapping up your most beloved baby.

Su Xi's gaze shifted a bit, and she saw two figures snuggling together printed on the transparent floor-to-ceiling porthole. The two people wrapped in black bathrobes looked like conjoined twins.

"How childish!" She scolded him with a smile, but couldn't get away. Su Xi didn't care about him anymore. Firstly, it wasn't her estrus period yet, and secondly, they were going to leave for the central system right away. She didn't worry about what he would do in this situation. At most, he would just rub against her like before.

Su Xi's attention was once again drawn back to the continued eruption of the Pillar of Life, and she even dropped the Vision Telescope in her hand.

"From a distance of light years, it looks as beautiful as fireworks during a festival." Su Xi was completely stunned by the magnificence visible to the naked eye!

Although two similar small eruptions have been observed in the past four months, they are nothing compared to the scale of this one.

She was completely unaware of it, with a smile that would dazzle someone. When someone teased her too much, she would occasionally kiss her alpha on the side of the cheek and continue to sigh and immerse herself in the magnificence of the universe.

While caressing her waistline affectionately, Fitzgerald responded to her sigh in a particularly absent-minded manner.

Because what he really wanted in his heart was another kind of fireworks, the kind of dazzling dance between lovers that did not need to be expressed in words.

He did not resort to language to express this romantic idea.

Su Xi soon experienced this herself.
