Chapter 357
I don't know whether it is the mental power that affects the body or the dimensionality reduction that is not complete. After the fusion is completely completed, will he become distracted and his mind fall into a state of emptiness and confusion?
In this state, he would not miss any changes in the outside world, but he also had no energy to pay attention to them.
But strangely, as long as Chu Xiu was by his side and he could feel Chu Xiu's mental power, Qi Heng would feel much better.
It’s just a pity that among the two of them, Chu Xiu, who is responsible for more affairs, has a lot of things to do and cannot stay by his side all the time.
Look at himself.
In recent years, he has left Tianyun Star less and less.
After the new city was built, he left his top-floor office less often.
With his ability, even if he only stays in one place, he can see everything that happens in the entire new city and even the entire Tianyun Star. Everything is under his control.
Remote work and the Internet solved the problem of having to meet in person to report, so he and Chu Xiu met less and less frequently.
Not only Chu Xiu, but also Qi Xi and Qi Lan, the two children, have had fewer opportunities to meet since they turned eighteen.
Needless to say, Qi Lan, as the commander of the original Zerg, his abilities grew rapidly with the increase in the number of the original Zerg. The network constructed by the Zerg swarm was more convenient than the newly built matrix after repairs, and they had a special method of communication with each other.
After the Zerg in the distance exceeded one hundred billion and spread throughout the galaxy, countless original Zerg became Qi Lan's eyes and ears. A large amount of information was transmitted back to Tianyun Star and sorted out by Qi Lan.
Compared to the fat bug who only needed to obey orders in the past, Qi Lan today can be said to be truly worthy of the title of commander-in-chief.
After all, the only one who could command the original Zerg was him and Qi Lan.
The original Qi Lan had simple ideas and only followed his orders. Although the existence of the game meant that the transmission of orders would not be delayed, it was no match for Qi Lan himself becoming enlightened and becoming a commander who could truly command the Zerg.
Qi Lan’s years in military academy were not in vain.
Qi Lan, who absorbed the entire set of Tianjia Empire battlefield command concepts, combined them with the characteristics of the original Zerg to develop his own unique command art.
So Qi Heng was relieved.
Even if I don't care about anything, I don't have to worry about Qi Lan causing trouble.
As for Qi Xi...
I don't know if it was because of Qi Lan's influence, or because I felt that I should achieve something, but after I grew up, I completely ignored him and went to the medical department, nor did I go to the command department where the male insect's mental power could be most useful.
——He plunged headfirst into the most dangerous combat system.
That would be fine, but he chose the mecha combat department.
Chu Xiu, who came from the military and was a female soldier himself, didn't say anything about Qi Xi's choice. In his opinion, his insect cubs could do whatever they wanted as long as it didn't break the law.
What about Qi Heng? What else could he say?
Qi Xi had made up his mind, and Chu Xiu had no objection. Although he loved the child he had raised very much, he couldn't just lock Qi Xi up at home and not let him go now.
So, both children in the family went to military school.
Oh, the military academy was established ten years ago. Along with the restoration of the perfect education system, it has trained many officers and soldiers for the Tianjia civilization army in the past ten years.
Even though their parents have very high status, Qi Xi and Qi Lan would rather rely on their own abilities and have no intention of relying on Chu Xiu and Qi Heng's power to get in through the back door.
After graduating from the military academy and joining the army, the two boys have not spent much time on Tianyun Star in recent years, as they have obeyed all orders and arrangements.
Got off the car.
Qi Heng hugged Chu Xiu, rubbed him affectionately, and uttered a barely audible word.
"Let's sleep together tonight. It's been a long time since I slept with you in my arms."
This is a long time, um, about a month.
Chu Xiu has been busy this month. As the chief regent, he has a lot to do at this critical juncture.
His words made Chu Xiu blush.
Qi Heng chuckled, thinking that even though it wasn't the first time he faced such straightforward words, Chu Xiu's reaction always made him like it.
Even though he felt embarrassed, Chu Xiu didn't push him away.
Chu Xiu raised his head and kissed him on the cheek.
This was a response to what he had just said.
Qi Heng's lips curled up, and he was in a good mood.
How could a Chu Xiu like this be free of selfish motives... It was like this ten thousand years ago, and it will be the same ten thousand years from now.
Wait for them to go upstairs and open the door.
As soon as the door opened, I was met with Qi Xi's teasing gaze.
"Xiong father, do you have to be so sweet? You're already downstairs and you still have to kiss before going upstairs."
"Is there anything we can't see?"
Chu Xiu didn't expect that his previous actions would be seen by Qi Xi. He was not as thick-skinned as Qi Heng, so he turned his face away uncomfortably.
"Your father is shy, don't bother him." Qi Heng glanced at the floor-to-ceiling window with a calm expression.
He looked very upright, as if he hadn't noticed that when Chu Xiu kissed him, there was a black-haired boy standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window peeping at him.
"Then please let go, male father. I haven't seen female father for a long time."
Qi Xi pulled Chu Xiu over, opened her arms and hugged Chu Xiu's waist, rubbing Chu Xiu's shoulders, "Father, I missed you so much. This time I finally applied for a vacation and came back to celebrate the New Year together."
Qi Heng's hands were empty, and he saw that Chu Xiu, who was just in his arms, was now hugged by Qi Xi.
He subconsciously raised his eyebrows, feeling a little unhappy.
There was no way. Even if Qi Xi was the cub of himself and Chu Xiu, he would still be a male insect that big when he grew up.
Seeing his female insect being hugged by another male insect, Qi Heng couldn't bear to see this scene even though they were father and son.
"Have you hugged me enough?"
Qi Heng said, glancing at the male insect cub in front of him who was not much shorter than Chu Xiu, "You are already twenty-seven years old, don't still be obsessed with your father like a little insect cub who has not grown up."
The little dumpling from back then has now grown tall and strong, standing there like a pillar.
Oh, that's a bit of an eyesore.
Qi Xi would not let go just because of a word. He blinked innocently, skillfully using this face that was 70% similar to his female father's.
“So love disappears?”
"Father Xiong, you weren't like this before..."
While they were talking, Qi Lan also leaned out of the kitchen and called out with a smile: "Dad, you're back. I was wondering if you would be late."
"We'll be eating soon."
Qi Lan was wearing home clothes and an apron, and it was obvious that she had been busy in the kitchen for some time.
Qi Heng raised his hand to push away the kid's hand, and with a little skill he brought Chu Xiu into his arms, glancing at Qi Xi.
"How can you, as a younger brother, just let your brother be busy? Why don't you go and help him?"
"Who said I didn't help my brother? I just came out to rest." Qi Xi put his hands on his hips, and the frown he made when he was unhappy was very similar to Qi Heng. In this respect, he was not like Chu Xiu.
When they were young, Chu Xiu, who was a good cook, was not often at home. Although Qi Heng had more time later, he was not very good at cooking - he always ate the work meals in the medical school.
When the two cubs grew a little older, they didn’t want to continue taking nutritional supplements and had no choice but to fend for themselves.
Over the years, he has become much better than his father Qi Heng, whose cooking is only edible.
"Do you want my help?"
Chu Xiu didn't react at all to Qi Heng's actions. He was used to it, whether it was approaching or hugging.
"No, no, you guys sit down and rest for a while." Qi Xi snorted at Qi Heng angrily.
"We have a day off today and we'll be back early, so leave the hard work of cooking to me and my brother."
Qi Xi said as he ran into the kitchen.
In the living room, Qi Heng took Chu Xiu to sit down and put his chin on Chu Xiu's shoulder with a lazy look.
"The little brat has grown up and is such a trouble." He said casually.
When Qi Xi was a child, he was very attached to them. When he grew up, he didn’t know whether it was because Qi Heng’s temperament had changed over the years, or because the insect cubs grew up to be closer to their female father.
In short, between him and Chu Xiu, Qi Xi prefers to stick to his female father, and ignores him as the male father.
——It feels like the child’s rebellious period came too late.
Chu Xiu couldn't help but laugh, "You obviously miss them too."
“They were very happy when they received the gifts.”
The last time the two cubs had their birthdays, they were both in an alien galaxy. In order to ensure that they could receive gifts on the same day, Qi Heng rarely used some tricks to ensure that the gifts were delivered on time.
"Qi Xi is too noisy. I don't want to be bothered by his noise just because the gift wasn't delivered."
Qi Heng snorted. If he had a mirror to see his current appearance, he would find that his expression was almost identical to Qi Xi's just now.
The barrier formed by mental power can transfer all information to the system when he does not want to be disturbed, and the system will be responsible for organizing and summarizing it.
With the system's amplification, this ability can cover the entire Tianjia star field if necessary.
However, it puts a heavy burden on the body, so it is best not to use it if possible.
In the kitchen.
"Father Xiong must be saying bad things about me again." Qi Xi curled his lips.
Qi Lan laughed out loud, "You obviously miss Father Xiong too, why don't you be more frank? You weren't like this before."
Qi Xi in the past would not be so hypocritical.
"Okay, brother, you are not allowed to say anymore." Qi Xi complained.
He is already an adult insect, how can he be the same as a baby insect? Moreover, his father has changed so much over the years, sometimes he doubts whether this is still his father.
It can be seen that the female father's attitude towards the male father remains the same, and Qi Xi knows that he has been overthinking.
Besides being so gentle to the male father, who else has the female father been to? Even the female father's insect cubs have never enjoyed the female father's obedient attitude.
…
Under the warm light, Qi Heng's family sat around the table, which was filled with delicious food.
Qi Xi: "Female father."
Qi Lan: "Heroic father."
"Happy New Year," they said together.
Qi Heng looked at them and replied with a smile, "Happy New Year."
"Father, try this. I made this." Qi Xi put the food in Chu Xiu's bowl. "I just learned how to make it. My brother said it tastes good."
Qi Lan nodded, "Xizi has been studying for a long time."
Qi Xi, who was already in his twenties, rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, I'm already that old, can you please stop calling me that?"
"Both the male and female fathers have changed their tune."
When he grew up, Qi Xi was very resistant to this childish name and refused to be called that anymore.
So Qi Heng and Chu Xiu changed their way of speaking, and in the end only Qi Lan would forget from time to time and still call Qi Xi that.
"Sorry, sorry, I forgot again."
"Brother, you have such a bad memory." Qi Xi poked Qi Lan and smiled, "But forget it, I'll just pay more attention next time."
next time.
There’s always a next time, Qi Xi always said this.
"Is it only the female father who has this?" Qi Heng pointed at his empty bowl, "As expected, you've grown up and become less considerate."
Qi Xi: “???”
Qi Lan smiled and said, "Then father Xiong, try what I made."
"You are so considerate, unlike Qi Xi..." Qi Heng tasted it and said, "Hmm, it tastes better than last time."
"Female father, look at the male father!"
"Hurry up and take care of him. If you don't take care of Xiongfu, he will die!"
Chu Xiu smiled and said, "I can't do anything about it. Your father doesn't listen to me."
"Who said that?" Qi Heng turned around and raised his hand to stroke his hair. "You haven't tried it, so how do you know I won't listen to you?"
Qi Lan and Qi Xi, who were sitting opposite them, looked at each other and saw the same thought in each other's eyes.
It's so corny.
Ahhh, the male father has been speaking more and more directly over the years, and he doesn't care whether there are other insects around him. I really can't imagine how the insects around the male father and the female father survive.
Flash bombs were fired from time to time, and my eyes were almost blinded by the flash.
Qi Heng didn't pay any attention to the boys' thoughts. After all, these actions were nothing out of the ordinary in his eyes.
Wait until we have a lively dinner.
Not long after, Qi Xi pulled Qi Lan to the rooftop of the building, took out the high-altitude fireworks he had bought early in the morning, and used the lighting tools in his hand to set off the fireworks one by one.
I probably won’t come back until the show is over.
Qi Xi has a childish nature. As a male who was spoiled by his parents and took advantage of his gender in society, he has not become very mature even though he is in his twenties.
Qi Heng and Chu Xiu had no intention of forcing them to grow up. Being able to spend the New Year in such a relaxed and happy way was his original wish.
The children have grown up, but he is still here.
No matter how many difficulties we encounter in the future, as long as I am here, Qi Xi and others will not have to stand in the way.
Well, if you are immature, then so be it.
Qi Heng and Chu Xiu came to the living room from the dining room. They had no interest in setting off fireworks.
There are several soft sofas placed near the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room. Sitting on the sofa and looking out, you can clearly see the night sky outside from the height of more than 20 floors.
In order to make the fireworks show more beautiful, all unnecessary lights in the upper parts of the city were turned off. Apart from the light coming through every household in the high-rise buildings, the commercial streets below were brightly lit.
This year's New Year is more important than any other New Year in the past.
Because this year, we are truly saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.
The glorious era created by the old Tianjia civilization has long passed, and the broken life of struggling for survival is also far away. More than ten years of changes have finally produced qualitative changes today.
Let civilization be reborn, let glory be recreated, and let "Tianjia" step into reality again from the past history.
Chu Xiu leaned against him.
When they are alone, they are always close to each other. They were not used to it at first, but later they got used to having another person around.
There is no need to say anything, just snuggle up to each other and you can stay together for a long time.
Qi Heng took back his hand from Chu Xiu's waist and said to him in the face of his doubtful gaze, "Close your eyes. I have a gift for you."
Subconsciously, Chu Xiu closed his eyes.
Without even asking what it was, he just closed his eyes obediently and Qi Heng smiled silently.
Something appeared in his empty left hand.
Pick it up with your right hand.
It was a necklace with a silver-white chain, as shiny as Chu Xiu's long and lustrous hair.
There is a circular pendant hanging on the chain. The ring looks like a rectangle that is twisted and folded in half. The clear material is as transparent as crystal, but there are a few strands of gold wire wrapped around it.
This thing is more like a ring than a pendant.
Well, if Chu Xiu had ever taken off the necklace and tried it on, he would have found that the size of the ring matched the size of his left ring finger.
He raised his hand, put it around Chu Xiu's shoulders, and put the necklace around Chu Xiu's neck.
Facing Chu Xiu who closed his eyes obediently, Qi Heng did not withdraw his hand. He pressed Chu Xiu against his chest, lowered his head and placed a very light kiss on Chu Xiu's eyelid.
Stayed a little longer.
Finally, he tilted his head and whispered in Chu Xiu's ear, "You can open your eyes now."
Chu Xiu opened his eyes and saw him very close to him, then he looked down and saw something very familiar around his neck.
He unconsciously reached out to touch the pendant and held it tightly in his palm.
A long, long time ago, Chu Xiu also received a gift from the Lord... but after he woke up, it disappeared.
That gift was exactly the same as the pendant I was holding in my hand at this moment.
"Do you like it?" Qi Heng asked.
"His Majesty……"
"Um."
"I like it." Chu Xiu opened his arms and hugged him, burying his head in his neck, "I didn't expect I could have it again."
If I were to say what regrets I have after recalling my memories, then losing the gift sent by His Majesty is one of them.
Whenever I think about it, I always feel a little upset.
"Then keep wearing it and don't take it off."
The same conversation happened again, but this time it was not text entered through the game interface, but spoken by Qi Heng himself.
He didn't tell Chu Xiu what this thing was, so he let Chu Xiu just treat it as a decoration.
"Don't lose it this time." Qi Heng raised his hand and patted Chu Xiu on the back, saying with a smile.
"No, I will never lose it again. I will always wear it."
Qi Heng played with the hair that fell on his side and gently twisted it around his fingers a few times.
Looking at the silver hair entangled with his fingertips, it was like a female insect holding him tightly and not letting go, close and attached.
Their postures were relaxed, and anyone could see that their relationship was close and unusual.
Qi Heng looked out the window, seeing the colorful fireworks flickering, and a sentence just came out of his mouth.
"When everything is over, we should make up for the wedding. I hope you won't think it's too late."
After saying this, he felt relieved.
It turns out that these words are not as difficult to say as I imagined.
Feeling the female insect in his arms stiffen for a moment, Qi Heng suppressed his lips but still couldn't help laughing.
"Did that surprise you? I thought I was obvious enough."
Qi Heng, who had long since overcome his psychological barrier and admitted that he was just an ordinary person, considered himself a responsible person.
Even if he and Chu Xiu have always been tacitly aware of their relationship, there must be a result. They can't keep going on in this muddle.
"In the future... after you leave office, we can still travel through the stars on the Deep Blue."
"Go and see those wonderful cosmic landscapes with your own eyes..." It will definitely be more spectacular than what you see on the screen.
Qi Heng's voice was very soft, as if he was talking to himself.
But Chu Xiu, who was so close to him that there was not a single gap between them, could hear every word clearly.
Feeling the tightening force on his shoulders, Qi Heng sensed Chu Xiu's unpredictable emotions and said in a relaxed tone, "You didn't say 'I do', so I was rejected—"
"No."
Chu Xiu interrupted him, his voice still as steady as usual, yet with a subtle urgency.
Without asking him why, without further questioning, Chu Xiu's answer was firm and decisive.
"I do."
"Even if you don't tell me, I won't leave you and will always stay by your side."
Qi Heng laughed and suddenly wanted to tease him, "Well, what if I chase you away?"
Chu Xiu's tone was calm: "I am the chief consul appointed by you. Even if you ask me to leave you, I will be as close to you as possible."
This is the truth.
The Lord is equivalent to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tianjia Empire. Under His Majesty who does not take charge of affairs but has an upper hand, the person who is only below His Majesty in status is the Chief Consul of the Empire.
At this point, even the commander of the original Zerg has to stand aside.
There is no way, since Your Majesty is not in charge of the affairs, all the real power is in the hands of the Chief Consul.
As long as Your Majesty is not out, the entire empire will follow the orders of the Grand Consul.
In this situation, even if he asked Chu Xiu to stay away from him, he wouldn't be able to stay much further away.
Qi Heng jokingly said, "You wouldn't say that before. It seems you've changed a lot."
"Do you like my change?"
"It's pretty good. Not as dull as before." He didn't think much about it. After all, if you like someone, you like everything about them.
To him, no matter how Chu Xiu changes, he is still himself, just like no matter how he changes, he is still 'Qi Heng'.
"That's good."
As long as Your Majesty likes it, I can do it even if it requires me to show my emotions a little more.
Qi Heng held Chu Xiu and motioned him to move, "You can't see like this."
"It's okay, I'll just watch over you."
Qi Heng had no choice but to follow Chu Xiu.
He released a faint pheromone to soothe Chu Xiu, and his mental power gently penetrated into Chu Xiu's star core. One should always be gentler and more tender to one's partner.
——I’m not the only one who misses someone after a long time of not seeing them.
——Chu Xiu felt the same way about this.
In the night sky, brilliant light reflected in Qi Heng's dark eyes.
I thought of something that happened a long, long time ago.
"If there must be a female insect accompanying me in the future, then why can't it be Chu Xiu?"
When this thought suddenly appeared in Qi Heng's mind that day, he understood what he was thinking.
The smile on Qi Heng's lips has never disappeared since he met Chu Xiu today.
His hands hugged the female insect's thin waist, and he thought that such a future was not bad.
The past self was worthy of being himself. He knew clearly what he wanted, and before he even realized it, he had made a detailed plan to push him on the road.
For Chu Xiu's sake, Qi Heng could forgive himself for digging a hole for himself in the past.
Outside, the New Year's bells rang and fireworks bloomed.
The atmosphere inside was warm and cozy, just when we were about to do something, a sound came from the door.
"Father, let me tell you, my brother almost blew up the firecrackers on me..."
The noisy voices of the two cubs were heard along with the sound of the door opening. Qi Heng straightened his lips and gave up his plan to carry Chu Xiu back to the room.
With these two oversized light bulbs around, there's no way I'm going to do anything this New Year.
Don’t ask, the answer is that he still has some shame, Chu Xiu is thin-skinned.
Well, but Chu Xiu being shy and nervous has its own unique feeling...why don't you give it a try?
As he was thinking, Chu Xiu, who heard the footsteps, had already raised his head from his neck and slightly changed his posture.
Qi Heng lowered his eyes and thought to himself that it was time to kick the two kids out of the house. They were old enough and should have their own family.
——In the future, it will be enough to have just me and Chu Xiu at home, there will be no need for two cubs to cause trouble.
