Chapter 160
Xizai had no idea that his father was criticizing him in his heart.
Why is this?
Because he was trying hard to curl himself up in Qi Heng's arms.
After struggling for a while, Xizai finally found a position that satisfied him. He then nestled in his father's arms while enjoying the affectionate pats on his head and listening to his stories.
The voice of a male father telling a story is different from that of a female father, but both are equally beautiful.
The most important thing is!
Now the one who gave me that story is my father!
Xizai likes it very much, likes it very much.
When Xizai thought of this, he felt so happy.
This was the first time, the first time that Xiong's father told him a story, and the first time that he held him in his arms and told him a story to put him to sleep.
Like the male father.
Xizai, whose heart was bubbling with joy, couldn't help but twist his body again and rubbed his father's chest.
Then the next moment he was patted on the head.
"At the bottom of the sea, Arnold saw a city that was completely different from the one on land..." Qi Heng said, raising his hand to press Xizai's fluffy head.
"Don't move."
"oh."
Xizi blinked his eyes and stopped moving around obediently.
In the quiet room, there was only the sound of Qi Heng reading a story.
Qi Heng felt the heaviness pressing on his chest and felt helpless.
He almost suspected that the kid had ADHD. Ever since he came close to him, he had been rubbing against him from time to time, like a cat and bug that couldn't stop.
It's his own. If it weren't his own child, he would have picked it up and put it aside long ago.
Qi Heng was reading the content of the story, but he was doubting whether the little bug could understand it.
Although this story has been told with simple and understandable words and a childlike narrative style, isn't it still a little difficult for a child under one year old to understand?
Forget it, the growth method of the Tianjia Zerg is different from that of humans, so it cannot be understood according to human common sense.
"Father Xiong, what does the sea look like?"
"Father, do mermaids look like us?"
"Their tears will turn into pearls? What are pearls?"
"Father Xiong, is the seaweed cake delicious?"
As Qi Heng told the story, the insect cub asked various questions.
These questions were a bit overwhelming for him.
How would he know if seaweed cake tastes good...
Qi Heng didn't have much impression of this civilization. He only vaguely remembered that it was one of the civilizations conquered by the Tianjia civilization in its early days. This impression was because the characteristics of the intelligent race of this civilization were similar to those of the mermaids in mythology.
If it weren't for this, he probably wouldn't have even had the slightest impression of it.
After all, the Tianjia Zerg has conquered too many civilizations. Except for a few special ones, the rest are not even worth remembering.
Qi Heng, who didn't want to explain so many troublesome questions, gave a panacea answer.
“You can search online yourself.”
Xizi was a little disappointed: "Father Xiong doesn't know either."
Qi Heng was silent for a while and said, "I'll take you to see the sea next time."
"You can ask A0 about other civilizations, and it will answer you."
Xizai, who was originally still thinking about other civilizations, immediately forgot all other issues when he heard that his father was going to take him to see the sea.
"When are we going? Is the female father going too?"
Qi Heng looked at Chu Xiu, and seeing that Chu Xiu had no objection, he said "hmm", which was considered as an answer to the insect cub's question.
Don’t worry about anything else for now, just fool the bug in front of you first.
There is a sea near gathering place No. 1, so it is not difficult to go there.
I don’t know what the little bug was thinking, but he smiled and hugged his arm.
Qi Heng said, "Are you still going to listen?"
"listen!"
Having said that, Xizi couldn't help but yawn.
Qi Heng found this look a little funny: "Go to sleep if you are tired."
"I'm not sleepy, not sleepy. I can sleep later." Xizi turned over and rolled to the middle, lying in the middle position tightly. He took his father's hand and held it in his arms.
Xizi placed Chu Xiu's hand on her belly, then Qi Heng's hand covered it, and finally the two little hands.
After doing all this, Xizi looked up at him, as if he was ready to listen to the story carefully.
Qi Heng's eyes twitched constantly, wondering if the kid would cry if he pulled his hand out at this moment.
In the end, he didn't do it.
...I felt uncomfortable about this, and Chu Xiu was not much better than me.
Ever since the insect cub put his hand on Chu Xiu's hand just now, Qi Heng clearly felt that Chu Xiu's body tensed up at that moment, and he was obviously not used to such "closeness".
Qi Heng sighed in his heart and continued to read the story: "Arnold met the ruler of the underwater world..."
But some things cannot be ignored just because you want to.
Unlike Qi Heng's body which was always warm and radiated heat, Chu Xiu's hands only felt cool, just like the feeling he gave people.
As time passed, the warmth transmitted from the palm of his hand gradually made Chu Xiu's hand imbued with his temperature, and it became less cold.
At the beginning, you could hear the baby bug asking questions from time to time, but later on, I don’t know when it started, the baby bug’s voice became lower and lower, and finally it became quiet.
Qi Heng looked down and stopped reciting the story.
He quickly and gently pulled his hand back and looked at Chu Xiu, who hadn't taken his eyes off him from the beginning to the end: "He fell asleep."
"This is much later than he usually goes to bed." Chu Xiu gently helped the bug cub adjust his sleeping position, a faint smile on his face. "This is the first time he's slept so late."
"He likes you very much."
Qi Heng smiled. In fact, he also liked the little bug cub.
It's not that he didn't notice Chu Xiu used the honorific, but he didn't bother to correct him. Some things require time to process. Once Chu Xiu gets used to it, he'll realize that 'now' is different from 'the past'.
Tianjia civilization needs a new management method.
Well, in every aspect.
I glanced at the time displayed on the computer. After reading the story for more than two hours, it was almost nine o'clock.
In the past, this time was when the nightlife just started, but after traveling to Tianyun Star... it was indeed a little late.
I haven't slept this late in several months. Usually, I would be immersed in cultivation at this time.
After thinking about it, Qi Heng decided to give himself a day off tonight.
Even if you have been seizing every minute to practice, you should occasionally combine work and rest. Only by having a proper balance between work and rest can you make faster progress.
Qi Heng put away the laptop and stretched his body a little.
Chu Xiu asked considerately: "Do you want to rest?"
He changed to a more comfortable position and leaned against the wall, then asked, "I'm not very sleepy. If you don't want to sleep, we can chat."
chat?
Chu Xiu was stunned and didn't react for a moment.
It has to be said that ever since waking up in a world ten thousand years later and reuniting with His Majesty, Chu Xiu has always felt like he was still dreaming.
...No, I should say that I wouldn't dare to imagine such a gentle and approachable Majesty, who would let me call him by his name, even in my dreams.
Chu Xiu's lips moved slightly as he wanted to say something, but his confused mind made him inexplicably nervous and uneasy.
"I……"
Qi Heng listened.
He didn't mind chatting with Chu Xiu. Sometimes talking more was one of the most effective ways to quickly bring two people closer.
"I asked the fireflies to dim the lights so that it would be easier to fall asleep. What do you think?" This was not what Chu Xiu wanted to say, but in the end he backed down and did not say what he wanted to say.
Qi Heng waited for a long time before hearing this sentence: "..."
Although it's a bit strange, it also feels unexpected and reasonable.
"Do as you say."
Qi Heng didn't even know what he was expecting just now.
