Chapter 290: Saving the Country in a Curve, Unreserved Love
Entering the simple cabin, Ifas's huge pile of luggage finally came in handy.
No one can make the lower bunk in a six-person room feel like home in the blink of an eye like he does. He brought bedspreads, sheets, towels, and generously broke off a piece of new soap and gave it to the single mother across the street.
Draw the bed curtains and turn on the small warm yellow light. To Bai Ling, this small space of 2 meters x 0.8 meters is as luxurious as a palace.
Bai Ling untied the ribbon of the bouquet and put the flowers into the vase. The rich scent of jasmine brought back many memories for him.
It was indeed a coincidence that Yu Miao bought jasmine, but it was definitely not a coincidence.
Thanks to interstellar hydroponic technology, this flower is the easiest and most common to grow among the people, and it can be seen on any planet all year round. Because of its reasonable price, it is the most affordable choice for people who want to send flowers but are short of money.
Turning around, the young mermaid was adjusting his small alarm clock.
"The flight is 39 hours long, and we can sleep until eight in the morning. But any later than that, it will be too noisy outside."
I put the alarm clock next to my pillow, and the small metallic block suddenly stood up.
It propped up two chopstick-like legs, used two simple wires to cross its waist, and scanned with its ultra-low-resolution camera, angrily: "My master, you actually bought a new machine without my knowledge!"
“It’s such a big one!”
"How much does he want? Is it much more expensive than mine?"
"Shut up," Ifas commanded skillfully, "Turn off the phone."
"Hello? I'm an alarm clock! There's no off button on the alarm clock, otherwise who will wake you up tomorrow morning? Will it be the stench coming from the cabin toilet?" The little square iron block was really mean.
But it's just bad-mouthed, the machine is still very friendly.
It faced Bai Ling, looking very familiar, and raised its body, "What's your name, new machine?"
Bai Ling couldn't stop laughing, he had already guessed who this little thing belonged to. He reached out his hand cooperatively, pinched its thin wire arm and shook it, "I am a mechanical bird."
The little alarm clock looked him up and down. The blurred pixels showed the outline of a classic bionic man, with white fiber hair, a thin but upright figure inlaid with steel bones, but the appearance was quite shabby. "You look old."
Bai Ling told the truth, "Because I'm cheap."
"How's your performance?"
"Very strong. He has protected the emperor before."
“So awesome?!”
Ifas in inner peace translation: whole milk emperor.
"Well," said the metal alarm clock, "no matter how powerful you were before, you are my little brother now. Mechanical bird."
Mechanical...bird.
The white-haired bionic man was suddenly stunned, and a huge buzzing sound suddenly exploded in his head.
He was so convinced of this name that he had called it countless times to Bai Ling's physical body. It turns out...it's not that the AI butler can't judge people well.
But they had known each other for a long time.
——Everything you experience is the result of modification by cosmic time travel. Those abnormal little details can only be discovered when you are in it.
·
Normally, bionic people are just tools, no different from carry-on suitcases, and they can be forced to stand in the aisle for a night.
But Ifas insisted that the mechanical bird stay and let it sleep in the bed. He told himself clearly that this was to prevent the bird from running away with his luggage in the middle of the night, and it was definitely not out of a desire for protection or anything like that.
The mechanical bird is charging. He had no idea what the other models were like, but he could only dream about the one he had.
In her dreams, she would speak like a bird, muttering words like "husband". When she was asleep, she would snuggle into his arms, chirping non-stop.
If the cabin hadn't been unable to receive a signal, Ifas would have posted a question in the middle of the night: "Why is the bionic man I bought constantly making noises?"
Ifas’s sleep quality is not very good and he will wake up at the slightest noise. At five o'clock in the morning, he felt someone next to him half-sitting up and staring blankly for a while, as if trying to confirm where he was. After a while, a hand reached out quietly and gently stroked his dull curly blond hair.
Then, she bent down and kissed him on the forehead quickly like a thief.
For some reason, the young mermaid's stomach suddenly felt sour. He thought that its CPU must have short-circuited and treated him like a whole milk tyrant.
"Poor fry..."
Ivars paused for breath.
Fourth class was not quiet. The passenger on the upper bunk was snoring loudly, the ventilation system was humming, and Bai Ling's whispers were almost lost in the background sound.
He looked at the young mermaid carefully in the dim light, and couldn't help but stroke the golden curly hair which was not thick enough due to malnutrition. The fry at this age are not yet fully sexually mature and have yet to grow in size and muscle mass. Although young, it has taken shape, and the shadow of the king can be vaguely seen.
Bai Ling wanted to get closer.
The green eyes flickered open and stared coldly at his lips.
Bai Ling was caught off guard and looked into his eyes. His heart almost jumped out of his throat. The young alpha's oppressive aura made him subconsciously step back.
However, the next second, the thin and long arms pulled suddenly, and the mermaid, whose bones were almost as heavy as an adult, pinned him down heavily, knocking him down like a large dog.
Bai Ling's heart was pounding, and he had no idea what he was thinking. He woke up. When did he wake up? Did he find out that I kissed him? Is he angry and wants to tear me apart now?
It seems not.
The mermaid's arms were tense and stiff, and she seemed to have no idea what to do next.
Very tender fish fry.
Bai Ling couldn't help but curl his lips, knowing what to do. He tentatively touched the protruding fish back, and seeing that the other party had no intention of resisting, he slowly turned over, and naturally crawled under the mermaid's arms, embedding himself in the arched nest formed by the boy's thin limbs.
The two people's soft bellies were pressed together, the battery packs were warming them, and there was a kind of intimacy like the fusion of flesh and blood.
Ifas was pressed so tightly against its belly that he turned his face away stiffly as if he was burned. Hiding in the darkness, he looked somewhat confused and bewildered, not understanding where this inexplicable emotion came from.
"Mother……"
The child in the opposite bed was mumbling in his sleep, "Hold me..."
His arm came up in an instant, and he took control of the mermaid's waist, pulling inward.
Ifas's ears suddenly became red and the blood in his body gradually heated up. For the first time in his life, he felt what it was like to be at a loss.
"Go to sleep, Fry."
But it had to snuggle up to his ear and whisper these words softly.
The nightmare child fell asleep again with his mother's gentle pat on his back, but Ifas tossed and turned in the long night. He couldn't help but think of some things that he had ignored, such as his biological parents and unconditional love...
Half asleep and half awake, he felt the small alarm clock climb onto his pillow and begin to buzz mercilessly.
The people outside woke up and turned on the lights. Bai Ling opened the bed curtain and saw Yu Miao's bloodshot eyes, full of resentment.
Bai Ling had no psychological burden: What are you looking at? It's just a kiss, I'm not taking your virginity.
However, when everyone took turns to go to the public bathroom to wash up, the mechanical bird still took advantage of its position to observe. Well, the human-shaped one is quite heavy. It is indeed an immortal species with excellent genes. The apical dominance has no effect on the growth of side buds at all.
Ifas suddenly pulled the towel over his face, narrowed his eyes subtly, and revealed an ambiguous smile.
Bai Ling was very familiar with that expression, so he quickly ran away, trying to prevent the young devil from suddenly going crazy and doing something abominable to both humans and gods.
However, the young devil is more decent than the old bastard. Bai Ling turned around and came back, and found that Yu Miao was in good spirits, reading a book quietly.
I still read financial books.
After asking, I learned that Ifas had already planned for the future.
"I want to make money, the more the better. I plan to open a fake federal account to trade stocks, and start once I have accumulated enough capital."
Mechanical Bird: "What happens after you get the money?"
Ifas glanced at him from the spine of the book and said, "Change your name and go to another country to study plants. Any country will do."
Take a roundabout way to save the country and realize your wishes.
Bai Ling thought, I seem to be the same. His childhood dream was to become a state-owned milkman, but due to various reasons such as the turbulent times, it was impossible to realize it, and finally he embarked on the road of revolution.
Two people came to the same conclusion through different paths and had similar experiences.
But he is much more normal than Crazy Fish.
Bai Ling thought relaxedly. I just overthrew the government, but this fish fry was a tough guy who built tanks crazily and turned the empire into the world's number one military superpower when others didn't allow him to drive a tractor.
Beware of those who failed the botany exam!
Bai Ling didn't notice that the young mermaid was silently observing him from behind the book. When he raised his head again, Ivars closed the book nonchalantly.
"When the time comes, you will move with me."
Bai Ling's heart tightened and he didn't speak for a moment.
He avoided the mermaid's gaze, picked up the water glass on the table, and said loudly, "Look at me, I forgot to get you some water."
The mermaid's flashing eyes dimmed silently.
But Bai Ling didn't mean to ignore him.
He just didn't know how to tell the fish that he would disappear on time in a day and a half.
·
In the interstellar age, technological progress generally only makes class stratification more obvious.
The air in the fourth-class cabin was polluted and the people were crowded. The largest number of people occupied the smallest cabin, like rats in a sewer.
Bai Ling could still bear it, but he didn't expect that Ifas was also calm about it.
No wonder, as an emperor, he could sleep peacefully in the small cabin on Commander Bai's warship. Everything was traceable.
Space travel is day and night, and the lower-class cabins don't even have windows, so people sit together and chat about everything under the sun.
A young mermaid was also sitting among them. He didn't talk much, but he was good at listening. He knew exactly where the kelp harvest was poor, where the taxes were harsh, where the scenery was beautiful but was being exploited, and where there was no harvest but no one was managing it. He heard every detail.
He had a small map and marked a location wherever he talked about it. Just tick the places you have been.
He said, "I want to go around and see how people live."
At first Bai Ling thought his trip was to relax. But when he really came here, Bai Ling realized that he was living up to the name of Floating Peeping Diary and was really observing the human world.
Ifas cares about prices, boat tickets, and even the production of a single potato. Because these things are closely related to him, he lives in them and has always maintained a close connection with the fields and the sea.
And his brothers and sisters and nobles will never understand this. They are high enough up there, detached from production, and will never pack their bags and walk down to the grassroots level, walk with the suffering, and open their eyes to see the world.
While others were immersed in the vanity and prosperity of the royal family, this abandoned prince had already reaped a great deal. Perhaps it was no accident that he would become emperor and eventually destroy the entire system.
It is unknown whether it was the pain that forced him towards fate or fate wanted to test him.
But there is one thing Bai Ling can be sure of.
The young mermaid appeared here because he had always wanted to come here. He has an indefatigable love for this sea of stars, and even without the help of fate, he would have been a benevolent king.
At dinner, Ifas gave half of the remaining bread to the orphan and his widow.
"Those males always abandon their eggs, making it very hard for the omegas who have to raise the babies alone." He looked at them from afar.
"They need this piece of bread more than either of us."
Mechanical Bird: "Do you often help the poor?"
The mermaid turned her head with her golden low ponytail swaying slightly, raised one of her handsome eyebrows, and rarely revealed a hint of youthful pride. "I'm so young, it won't be a problem if I skip two meals."
Bai Ling was most afraid of what he said. He relies on his youth and endless energy to make himself look unrecognizable, just like a saint.
That’s not all. After a while, a crew member came down and said that the first and second class cabins upstairs were too busy, and asked if anyone was willing to be a temporary waiter. No ones over 30, the younger and prettier the better, 800 star coins.
Ifas was about to raise his hand when he heard this.
Bai Ling managed to pin him down, pushed him to the lower bunk, clamped his waist with her thighs and held him down tightly, looking down threateningly:
"I'm fully charged now. I have plenty of strength and means. If you dare to go, I'll let you know what a cheap product is and what a bad one is!"
Bai Ling had done that kind of job before, as a waiter in a buffet restaurant. It was so exhausting. Generally, you have to carry trays, each tray has at least 5 dishes on it. The weight of the dishes is pressing on your shoulders, and after working for half an hour, you will feel that your spine and shoulders are separating.
But the young mermaid said calmly: "I see that you always walk with one leg higher than the other. I have to buy you a new leg."
He is a long-termist and always takes it as his responsibility to cherish things. Whether it is people or things, they must be well maintained.
"…Buy it! Wait until you have money!"
There are inexplicable emotions and inexplicable sadness. It is probably because I see a good person who cannot live a good life but always wants to be good to me. I feel uncomfortable because of the injustice for the other person.
This job was in great demand and we found someone in no time. Even if Ifas wanted to go, he couldn't.
Bai Ling finally felt relieved when he saw that he had calmed down, and prepared to teach him a lesson in earnest about the value of life. However, just after a while, I heard a shout from upstairs:
"Everyone, get out of my way! Hey, Your Highness, please be careful with your feet. It's dirty here. Don't get your soles dirty."
The second most noble heir to the empire, the incomparably beautiful princess, looked down at the panic-stricken crowd from her alpha height, and covered her mouth and nose with the fan in her hand.
The captain asked flatteringly, "Excuse me, what kind of workers do you need?"
It is said that the birthday party of this popular crown prince is coming. Since I was on the ship, I suddenly felt like going to the fourth-class cabin to have some fun.
The captain thought that she was probably looking for a pretty poor guy to play some consensual games with.
Unexpectedly, Boyi stared at the widowed mother in the corner and the Ocean Tribe child she was holding, and said slowly:
"I'm missing a candle for my cake. I want it to be tender and the fattier the better."
