Chapter 45: The Empire's First Beta Crown Princess 14 During the Susceptible Period...
045 The Empire's First Beta Crown Princess 14
——Does this count as a quarrel?
Lu Jiu walked out of the gate under the awe and curiosity of the police officers. A low-key and luxurious black car was parked at the door, and the driver was standing by the door respectfully.
Lu Jiu twisted his wrist, thinking silently, and walked down the stairs.
Just as he was about to walk across the street, the driver hurriedly stepped forward and stopped him: "Is it Master Lu? His Highness asked me to take you back."
Lu Jiu paused.
——Well... Although his current mood is definitely not happy, the paper that has been covering his heart for days seems to have finally been torn.
——At least he felt relieved now.
"Master Lu, please get in the car," the driver seemed to be afraid that he would refuse, "This place is still dozens of kilometers away from the school, and the transportation is not very convenient. If you go back by yourself, His Highness will be worried."
Lu Jiu was silent for a moment, curled the corner of his lip, walked over, opened the car door, and sat in the back seat.
The driver breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked around the front of the car and got into the driver's seat.
The flying car started, and the whole machine rose silently from the ground.
Lu Jiu turned around and saw Chen Yu suddenly appear at the door of the Public Security Bureau.
The drizzle had stopped, and the damp night wind blew the man's black hair into a mess, and he suddenly stopped.
It was very strange. The car window glass was clearly one-way and people outside couldn't see inside at all, but Lu Jiu felt that Chen Yu seemed to have caught his attention in an instant.
——So, if you are still in a relaxed mood, does it count as a quarrel?
Lu Jiu thought to himself.
——Not really.
——After all, when two gears run in together, there will always be some jams. Regardless of whether they can run through the jams or not, it is not a dispute.
He rolled down the window.
This action seemed to make Shen Yu freeze for a moment.
The cold night air rushed into the car.
Lu Jiu hooked his finger at him.
Bai Yunfei and the two guards who followed out from the Public Security Bureau looked at Chen Yu, while His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself stared straight at Lu Jiu.
Lu Jiu's fingertips seemed to hook a trace of silk.
The thread moved with his movement, and the man at the other end slowly walked down the stairs and walked towards him step by step until he came to his car window.
Lu Jiu raised his head, his tone was much softer than before: "Are you still planning to stay here?"
"…There are still some things that have not been dealt with."
Shen Yu's voice was low and hoarse, and he lowered his eyes to stare at Lu Jiu.
Lu Jiu asked again: "You gave me the clothes, aren't you cold?"
“It’s not cold.”
Lu Jiu nodded and leaned back in his chair: "Then I'll go. Remember our agreement."
Shen Yu opened his mouth.
Lu Jiu waited, but nothing came out of his voice, so she looked at him in confusion.
Shen Yu paused, looked at him for a while, and turned his gaze to the driver's seat: "...send him downstairs to the dormitory."
"I know, Your Highness." The driver nodded quickly.
Then Shen Yu looked at Lu Jiu again, was silent for a second, and whispered: "Rest early and don't think too much."
"It's my turn to say this to you." Lu Jiu smiled and rolled up the car window.
The flying car gradually rose higher and slowly entered the empty skyway in the middle of the night.
Then with a whoosh, it sped away.
Bai Yunfei and two guards walked down and came behind Shen Yu. Bai Yunfei asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, should we bring the doctor here?"
Shen Yu's face calmed down.
"Let's go over there."
*
Of course, Chen Yu did not appear in the dormitory again that night.
Lu Jiu slept peacefully. When he woke up the next morning, he saw the empty and cold bed opposite him. He grabbed a handful of hair and laughed at himself.
I'm actually a little bit not used to it.
The day passed uneventfully.
There was no news from the Public Security Bureau. After all, even if they found out the identity of the person who left in the black mecha, they would not come to notify him, a student.
Coming out of the maintenance warehouse at night, Lu Jiu subconsciously glanced at the time. It was half past eight.
I couldn't help but be silent.
Then he lowered his head and smiled.
...Unconsciously, that guy knew his habits better than he did.
After returning to the dormitory, Lu Jiu keenly discovered that in the darkness, there seemed to be something extra on the cabinet next to the door.
When I turned on the light, I found... a bunch of nutritional supplements? ?
Lu Jiu's forehead was full of question marks. He walked over and picked up a box to have a look.
The only one who can enter and leave his dormitory freely is Chen Yu. What weird thing did this guy send him?
Xxx brand multi-nutrient supplement, suitable for...beta early pregnancy? !
It was like a bolt from the blue, and Lu Jiu stood there in a daze.
…………He immediately called the doctor, and when the call was answered, he asked bluntly: "Uncle, have you seen him?!"
The uncle came up and started crying: "You still say that! Your Highness the Crown Prince is too scary. I almost thought I was going to be imprisoned again yesterday. Fortunately, I have been a doctor for half my life and have always abided by the law for mankind..."
Lu Jiu interrupted his mumbling: "What did you say to him?"
"Do I need to say anything? The ultrasound machine has recorded everything that should be recorded. The doctor brought by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is more professional than me! It's really not my fault for what happened to Jiujiu. It was Ah San who brought the enemy in..."
Lu Jiu's head was buzzing.
He suddenly recalled the somewhat flustered look when Shen Yu stepped out of the Public Security Bureau last night.
Did you know it at that time...?
"...Jiujiu, you are so mean. You didn't even tell me that the child is the Crown Prince. If something happens to the child by accident, I'll be doomed..."
Lu Jiu's mouth twitched: "You said yesterday that you wanted to give me a caesarean section."
"Is dissecting the Crown Prince's baby the same as dissecting your baby?" the uncle said confidently.
"...You still have the nerve to say that you have been abiding by the laws of mankind for half your life as a doctor!!"
Lu Jiu couldn't complain and looked at the things in his hand again: "He gave me a bunch of nutritional supplements."
"What supplement?"
Lu Jiu read the name of the product, and the uncle said, "You have to eat some. People nowadays are lacking in nutrition, and pregnant women have to take a lot of supplements since they get pregnant. I didn't tell you yesterday because I thought you didn't have the spare money to buy these things. People like us can only live a lazy life..."
Lu Jiu listened to the mumbling in his ear and fell silent.
After hanging up the phone, he looked at the pile of things in front of him, lowered his head and sighed.
…
This stack of supplements is like a start.
The next day, Lu Jiu returned to the dormitory and found a pile of neat and thick clothes on the desk.
...Although the temperature has dropped, it doesn't seem to be necessary to wear such thick clothes yet.
He turned on the holographic screen and wanted to send a message to Shen Yu to ask him not to send anything, but then he remembered... he didn't have this guy's contact information at all!
He sat down at the desk, held his head in silence for two or three seconds, then pulled aside the clothes and found a small note hidden at the bottom.
There were a few lines written on the note, telling him how to take the supplements.
…It was obvious that the words were written by that man himself.
Just like his style, it seems elegant, but in fact his brushstrokes are powerful and forceful, and the force can be seen through the paper.
Lu Jiu stared at the note in a trance for a long time.
…………What era is this? You’re still writing little notes!
He slapped the note down and picked up a piece of clothing - ha! A pair of furry bear pajamas! What an aesthetic!
…
On the third day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought a bunch of snacks and wrote a note asking him in confusion why he didn't take the supplements.
Lu Jiu pretended not to see it and just crunched down a bag of potato chips.
On the fourth day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent a pile of mechanical parts and materials.
Lu Jiu was sorting the materials on the dormitory floor, very excited, and finished a bottle of supplements quickly and efficiently.
On the fifth day, Shen Yu sent several professional books on weapon manufacturing.
These books were not even included in the school's online library. Lu Jiu's eyes lit up and he read until two in the morning.
On the sixth day, the books disappeared.
Lu Jiu was going crazy, huh? He only made it through one night!!
On the seventh day, the books appeared again.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wrote another note: I would like to arrange a comprehensive examination for you. If you don’t want to see me, you can let Bai Yunfei accompany you.
Lu Jiu bit the pen cap and stared at the line of words.
He wrote at the bottom: Don’t you know that I just checked with the uncle?
When you’re done, cross it out.
And wrote: You haven't thought about it yet
I didn’t finish writing it and crossed it out.
Write down: Okay, if you can be assured if I go and check it out once, I will go, but you don’t need anyone to accompany you. Just tell me the address and I can go there by myself.
He placed the note on his desk.
The next day, when he came out of the cafeteria after lunch, the familiar driver who was waiting outside came forward and saluted him respectfully: "Master Lu, I will take you for a check-up."
The prenatal check-up arranged by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is naturally much more advanced than that arranged by the doctor.
Lu Jiu was sent to a building that seemed to have good confidentiality, and the doctor's assistant who came to pick him up took him to the 20th floor.
The doctor who examined him was very tight-lipped, smiling gently throughout the entire process, and didn't ask any questions that were unnecessary.
Lu Jiu had a more detailed B-ultrasound and had a tube of blood drawn. After these tests, he asked casually, "You will inform him of the results, right?"
The doctor responded quickly: "Yes, we will send the examination report to your and His Royal Highness's mailbox."
The doctor's assistant was not very understanding. He subconsciously glanced at a room with a closed door at the back of the corridor.
Lu Jiu followed him and looked over.
The doctor's assistant was frightened by him and quickly looked away, nervously looking at his nose and his heart.
Lu Jiu laughed and said nothing.
Someone is really...
Lu Jiu couldn't think of an adjective.
never mind!
He swaggered past the door of the room and went to the elevator.
That evening, he received the email.
The result is that he is very healthy and the cubs are developing well, so there is nothing to worry about.
Lu Jiu touched his belly.
Lu Chenxi, ah, Lu Chenxi, it should be you, right?
You are such a strong little baby.
*
That day, after class, Lu Jiu was called to the office by the head teacher.
"Do you want to go to the actual combat training of the insect beast tide?"
Lu Jiu was stunned.
The insect and beast tide is a phenomenon that occurs at the border of the empire at a fixed time every year.
Low-level insect beasts will pour out from unpredictable space channels and invade surrounding planets. Sometimes there are large numbers, and sometimes there are small numbers. Humans can only judge the approximate star region where the insect beast tide will occur based on years of experience, but there is no way to determine the specific location, nor can they predict the exact time.
Generally, such tides of insects and beasts will come in waves and last for two to three months.
The military's usual response method is to divide into three forces. The first force is responsible for the source area where insects and beasts emerge, the second force is responsible for the vast space area, and the third force is responsible for the ground areas of major planets that have been invaded.
In order to test the military academy students from various universities and to give them more experience, the military allows each authorized university to send a certain number of students to be incorporated into the third force to join the actual combat in the early stages of the insect and beast tide every year.
Generally speaking, such places are given to students in the second and third years of the mecha class, and first years do not have a chance.
The head teacher said, "This year is special, and other schools have also sent some first-year students. For example, from their Royal Academy, Bai Yunzhe, who is close to you, was enrolled this time. Of course, if you go there, you will definitely have to enter a mecha and go to the battlefield, so I am also asking for your opinion--"
"I'll go, teacher." Lu Jiu said without hesitation.
"Are you sure? If you are sure, I will register you. The departure time is in a week, which is pretty fast."
"I'm sure, thank you, teacher."
The head teacher chatted with him for a few more words, saying that this year happened to be an exchange between their two colleges, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was coming. At that time, their school's team would probably go together with the Royal College, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would probably also set off and personally command the battles that involved cadets.
After hearing this, Lu Jiu's heart was filled with emotions.
At night, he stayed in the maintenance warehouse until very late.
During this period, he improved his weapon energy circuit design framework again and again, and changed the material configuration plan again and again. Now he has finally broken through the bottleneck and entered the final stage.
He was concentrating.
He worked until nearly ten o'clock, then finished his work and returned quietly to the dormitory.
After taking a shower and lying on the bed, the holographic screen popped up.
【Stranger xxxxxxxxxxx requested a video call】
Um?
Who is calling so late at night, and the number is encrypted?
Lu Jiu didn't react for a moment and subconsciously hung up the call.
【1 message from a stranger】
Lu Jiu clicked it.
"It's me, Shen Yu."
【Stranger xxxxxxxxxxx requested a video call】
Lu Jiu slowly raised his eyebrows.
He answered the phone.
A picture popped up on the holographic screen.
The man seemed to have taken a shower as well. He was wearing a dark blue pajamas. He was sitting on a brown sofa with his arms folded. Behind him was a floor lamp that emitted a dim glow.
"You signed up for the insect-beast tide combat training?"
After not seeing him for a few days, Lu Jiu found that he really missed this guy. Even though he was frowning and being so straightforward at the moment, he still looked somewhat pleasing to the eye.
Lu Jiu turned over in bed and answered slowly in a prone position: "Yes, the teacher asked me if I wanted to go, and I signed up if I wanted to go."
"Under the current situation?" Shen Yu narrowed his eyes, "The military has no precedent of letting pregnant women go to the battlefield."
Lu Jiu said frankly: "You also know that I have been pregnant for more than two months, right? Didn't I fight with you before when I was still pregnant?"
Chen Yu seemed a little annoyed by his unreasonable arguments.
He had an expression that said, "You also knew you were pregnant at the time." "If I had known you were pregnant at the time, do you think I would have let you get on that mecha?"
Lu Jiu surrendered.
"I dared to fight you then because I was confident that it wouldn't affect the baby in your belly. It's the same now. I promise I won't hurt the baby."
"I'm not worried about him." Shen Yu said slowly.
"As long as nothing happens to him, nothing will happen to me. What's the difference between me and you? The most I have is a little more fat on my belly."
"How can you guarantee that nothing will happen?"
"Some metaphysics," Lu Jiu put his hands together, rested his chin on the back of his hands, and looked at the man, "like the metaphysics you would have in a dream."
Shen Yu was silent.
The two of them stared at each other through a holographic screen, across the week.
"Does it have to be this time?"
"If you can go, why give up this opportunity?" Lu Jiu said in a soothing tone, "What I said to you at the Public Security Bureau a week ago was not a joke."
You know that's not a joke.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have stepped into this dormitory until today.
Shen Yu was silent again.
Lu Jiu tilted his head and looked at him.
"Where are you now?"
Shen Yu looked like he didn't want to talk.
"If you don't want to talk anymore, I'll hang up." Lu Jiu pretended to close the holographic screen, "I'm going to read a book."
"In the guest building of your school," Shen Yu replied calmly, "the top floor."
Lu Jiu withdrew his fingers, raised the corners of his lips calmly, then immediately smoothed them down, pretending to be calm.
"You actually live in the school?"
"I've been resting here before moving into your dormitory."
"The room looks quite big. Is it comfortable to sleep in?"
"You can come and try it yourself."
"Your tone is too calm. It doesn't sound seductive at all." It even makes people feel a little wilful.
Shen Yu pulled the corner of his lips apart.
He glanced down, then raised his eyes again: "Is it okay to lie down like this?"
"It doesn't matter. I told you that metaphysics protects the body."
"You are so powerful in metaphysics, can't you just keep you safe?" Shen Yu asked suddenly.
Lu Jiu was stunned.
"If it can guarantee that you won't get hurt or killed in any accident, I won't stop you from doing anything."
“Hmm…” Lu Jiu chuckled, “I also want such a powerful function, but unfortunately, metaphysics is not so powerful.”
He seemed to hear a sob from 111 who was eavesdropping.
Shen Yu was quiet for a while, and when he opened his lips again, his voice became softer: "Have you still felt like vomiting recently?"
"No, I just felt a little sick for a day or two, but it will be fine after that."
“What are the other symptoms?”
"No, this pregnancy was pretty hassle-free."
Much better than the last world.
Chen Yu stared at him for a long time, with a hint of tenderness and pity in his voice.
"I didn't know you could get pregnant."
"Well, I don't know."
But it doesn't matter.
He has accepted it.
It's not about accepting it out of desperation, but about knowing that this thing is bound to happen, but it will only happen between you and me...so it doesn't matter, just accept it.
*
On Monday, the actual combat training team set off in a mighty procession.
Two flying ships with their respective school emblems slowly rose into the air and gradually shrank into two small white dots in the clear sky.
It takes about a whole day to get to the combat base from this planet. After lunch, the team leader called everyone together and turned on the holographic screen.
The instructors from the military who were in charge of their academy began to give them advance lessons.
The "Insect Beast Tide Zone" spans approximately 1,500 light years horizontally, and there are approximately 360 planets inhabited by humans in the area.
The military has set up five major bases, which are evenly distributed in this area to ensure that troops can arrive as soon as possible wherever a tide of insects and beasts emerges.
"The insect beasts that appear in the beast tide are generally of relatively low level, and the difficulty of the battle is only related to their number... Generally speaking, there are two ways to end the battle as quickly as possible: the first is to find the spatial channel that is the source of this wave of insect beasts and blow it up; the second is to find the king beast of this wave of beasts and kill it."
Everybody listened attentively.
"In the past, there were two plans in parallel, but now the first strategy has basically been abandoned, because if you get too close to the space channel, you will accidentally fall into it, and those who fall in have never come out. No one knows what is on the other side of those space channels."
A student raised his hand: "Could it be the insect beast base? Because there are too many insect beasts, those soldiers can't defeat them..."
"We have also considered this, so we once sent a force of 10,000 people, but..." The instructor did not finish his words and just shook his head.
Everyone was shocked.
A troop of 10,000 people was killed in there?
What on earth is inside that space channel?
Canxing was assigned to Base No. 3, and they and the Royal Academy's spaceship parted ways after entering the insect and beast tide area.
Lu Jiu was a student of the weapons department and did not have a mecha. Before he entered the lounge assigned to him, the team leader hurried over and handed him a space box: "This is a mecha in the army. Go to the training ground and try it out later. If there is anything that cannot be adapted, tell us. You can go to the battlefield after it is adjusted!"
"Okay, thank you, teacher."
Lu Jiu took the space box pendant, felt something, and looked across the corridor.
Lin Miao pressed the door handle but did not push the door open. He stood sideways, as if eavesdropping on their conversation.
Noticing Lu Jiu's look, he immediately opened the door and walked in, slamming the door shut in a panic.
...I don’t understand what this escaped player is thinking about all day.
Lu Jiu tossed the pendant and went into his room.
Speaking of which, where is Chen Yu?
*
A starship quietly floats in space.
In a room without portholes, Shen Yu sat on the bedside with his sleeves rolled up, and the doctor was injecting him with medicine.
After slowly pushing the needle in, the doctor warned: "Your Highness, if you still feel uncomfortable, you must tell me immediately. You must be very careless recently."
After saying this, he packed up his things, left the room, and closed the door carefully.
Bai Yunfei frowned, looked at Chen Yu indifferently and put down his sleeves.
The susceptible period for indulgence in lust is just five days away.
Having said that, the timing of pheromone release is not always so precise. It may be delayed or advanced.
Theoretically, he shouldn't have come to this practical training.
"Your Highness, relying on powerful inhibitors to suppress the susceptible period is not good for your health." He advised tactfully.
Shen Yu raised his lips.
"Is it good for your health to solve the problem by yourself every time?" The man moved his shoulders and said calmly, "At least it's not good for my wrist."
Bai Yunfei was choked and an embarrassed look appeared on his face.
...So, how come His Highness and Lu Jiu got pregnant so quickly!
As we all know, in this society, if one of the two people gets pregnant, it will be a bolt from the blue for any couple.
Love will give rise to an unprecedentedly intense puberty and susceptibility period, especially in the early stages of a relationship. This kind of outburst is often difficult to suppress with drugs. Suppression will only make people "explode" (it's hard to say whether it's mentally or physically). They need the help of their partners...
The intervention of a partner can ease this "volcanic eruption" to a level that a normal human body can tolerate. This is often a good opportunity for young couples to warm up their relationship. Now...
"Why do you look like I'm already sacrificed? No one in this world will die of hunger or thirst." Chen Yu looked at him puzzled.
Bai Yunfei was choked again, and this time not only was he choked, but his face also turned red with shame.
"Your Highness, this is your first time in love," Bai Yunfei tried to keep himself serious, "We can't predict what will happen during your susceptible period this time."
"Then let's take it one step at a time," Shen Yu stood up and walked towards the door, "Even if the medicine really can't be suppressed, it doesn't mean I have to go back to the palace to use my hand."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince waved his hand.
Bai Yunfei's face instantly turned red like a tomato that was about to explode. He quickly lowered his head with a look of regret on his face.
