Chapter 82 Chapter 82 (Updated)

He is not yet an adult.

These five short words lingered in Mellaire's ears like a magic sound.

When she talked to Master Ruan, she considered many issues, but she ignored his age. Master Ruan did look a little youthful, but she thought it was because he looked young, but she didn't realize it was because he was not yet an adult.

"Maybe his race reaches adulthood earlier..." Before she could finish her words, she realized that Ruan Shiqing was an ancient human.

Ancient humans reached adulthood at the age of eighteen.

She shrugged and said regretfully, "Okay, I'll wait a little longer."

Anyway, Master Ruan is here and he won’t run away.

?????

Wait a little longer?

Rong Heng, who thought she would give up, became nervous again. He stared at Meilier and reiterated, "It's not okay to wait."

Mellaire was completely baffled and felt that the Crown Prince was becoming more and more overbearing: "Why? Even if you are the Crown Prince, you shouldn't interfere with the personal feelings of your subordinates."

“…”

Rong Heng was speechless and could only keep a sullen face, with unhappiness in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

Mellor looked at him and suddenly thought of something. He said in disbelief, "Could it be that you have taken a fancy to Master Ruan?"

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was possible.

The prince used to be so cold and cruel. Not to mention taking care of a child, if any child dared to go near him, he would probably be scared and cry.

But look at him now, not only is he taking care of the cub, he's doing a great job.

And these kids are all from Master Ruan's family.

Mellor felt that he had discovered the truth. The Crown Prince, who had been single for 26 years and seemed likely to remain single forever, had finally found love.

She immediately expressed her understanding and support: "If you are also pursuing Master Ruan, then I can withdraw. You know, I don't like overly complicated relationships."

Patting his shoulder vigorously, Mellaire encouraged him, "Master Ruan is indeed very good. You have to act faster. Otherwise, even if I quit, there will be others pursuing him."

Then, without waiting for Rong Heng's response, she left with a subtle look on her face.

She can't wait to share this big gossip with others!!!

On the contrary, Rong Heng, who stayed behind, had a face full of question marks.

????

What is Mellaire talking about?

He whispered back, "How could I possibly like him? I just, just..."

But I can’t tell what it is.

The emotions in my chest are surging, some kind of emotion that has been accumulating for a long time, like a sprout breaking through the soil, and is growing vigorously.

When leaving, Rong Heng was quite absent-minded and distraught.

Ruan Shiqing looked at him and swallowed back what he was about to say. He changed his tone to concerned: "You don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"

Rong Heng met his concerned eyes and was inexplicably afraid to look directly at him. He turned his eyes away and whispered, "I'm not feeling unwell."

His heart was beating faster and faster in his chest. He clenched his hands uncomfortably, said hastily, "I have something else to take care of," and strode away.

Looking at his hurried back, Ruan Shiqing said puzzledly: "Mr. Rong looks a little strange today."

Meleil folded her arms and watched the show, smiling: "Maybe it's because spring is coming, so I'm a little restless." She leaned over and whispered to Ruan Shiqing: "You may not know that the Bis people have retained their animal form, so they are similar to animals in some ways. For example, in spring, they will..."

She didn't finish her words and gave Ruan Shiqing a meaningful look that said "you know".

Ruan Shiqing was surprised. It was the first time he heard such a statement.

Well, this was Mr. Rong's private matter, and he couldn't discuss it any further, so he could only smile at Mellaire.

Rong Heng fled in panic.

After returning to Fita Manor, he locked himself in the bedroom, with the neatly buttoned collar of his uniform roughly torn off, and he paced back and forth anxiously.

This feeling of being out of control made him nervous and uneasy. Reason made him stop in time, but his emotions made him continue exploring.

like.

These two words seemed to be enchanted, lingering around him tightly.

He felt at a loss as to what to do, but at the same time, from a hidden corner, a little bit of joy was bubbling up.

He lay on the bed with his arms covering his eyes. He whispered, "Noah, what do you think it feels like to like someone?"

Noah's voice came from the central control system: "Like is an emotion that only you humans have. According to the literal meaning, it is a kind of 'happy, happy' emotion caused by a certain hormone in the human body. It will make you blush, your heart beat faster, and your emotions excited." She paused here before continuing: "But I have another view on this word. This is my understanding when I was accompanying Her Majesty the Queen."

Rong Heng moved his arm away, his dark golden eyes full of confusion: "Tell me about it."

"When you like someone, or even love someone, you will always think of him involuntarily and tolerate all his shortcomings. Even Her Majesty, who is as ruthless as the Queen, often has tender moments when facing you and Mr. Si Yan. This is an emotion that is not controlled by reason and arises naturally from the heart. It will bring about many changes in people."

"So do you think my mother's change is good or bad?"

Noah was silent for a while, as if thinking, and then he said: "I don't think it can be called good or bad, but in those years, Her Majesty the Queen never regretted it. She once told me that she was very glad that she withstood the pressure and chose His Excellency the Banquet Master."

"Never regretted it..." Rong Heng repeated these words, and his confused heart gradually calmed down.

Over the years, he rejected marriage proposals from all sides and rarely came into contact with the opposite sex. Not only because he was on the front line, but also because of his mother's experience, he instinctively resisted this kind of relationship.

He always felt that his mother's marriage was unhappy and that she had given far more than she had received in that marriage.

He never thought deeply about his mother's attitude, but just made arbitrary conclusions from his own perspective.

Now it seems that his mother was much braver than him. She dared to pursue what she wanted and to overcome all kinds of difficulties in the process. Even in the end, she never regretted her decision.

But he trapped himself in numerous concerns and hesitated to move forward.

I don't even dare to admit my feelings.

Meryl was right. If you like someone, you should pursue them openly. No matter what the result is, at least you have tried your best. If you miss the opportunity because of your cowardice, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

The confusion dissipated, and Rong Heng's eyes gradually turned firm.

Early the next morning after the kids returned home, Ruan Shiqing pulled the kids out of their beds one by one, carried them onto the landspeeder, and sent them to school with 09.

The little dragon and the little fox, who haven't been to school for more than half a month, are whining and trying to act coquettishly and refuse to go to school.

After all, they are already grown-up kids and don’t want to take classes with the younger kids.

But unfortunately, all the coquettishness and pranks were useless. Ruan Shiqing coldly suppressed the coquettish kids and personally handed them over to the teacher.

The helpless cubs could only accept their fate. The little dragon swung its tail and walked into the school in high spirits. The little fox also had a gloomy face and his big tail was listless.

Only the little mermaid and Ruan Jiao were relatively calm. They followed them and entered the school obediently.

Ruan Shiqing looked from a distance at the school gate for a while before going to the laboratory of the arsenal with 09.

After having 09 print out the data and information, he carefully packed them up before driving the landspeeder again to Fita Manor.

He was going to find Mr. Rong, but he had to put it aside because Mr. Rong didn't look very well last night. But he was so excited about this discovery and couldn't wait to verify it, so he came over early this morning.

As soon as I reached the door, I saw Rong Heng walking out.

Ruan Shiqing raised his hand to say hello, but after taking a closer look at the other person, he was stunned again.

The other party was dressed very formally today. His white military uniform was neat and tidy, with medals all over his chest, a pocket watch with a gold watch chain hanging down, black boots and calves, shiny, and even his long white hair was carefully groomed and tied behind his head without a single mess.

It looked like some grand banquet.

Ruan Shiqing hesitated and asked, "Do you have anything to do today?"

If anything happened, he could only go to Mellor or Marin.

"It's okay." Rong Heng walked up to him, lowered his eyes to look at him, and tried hard to hide his nervousness and appear calm: "I'm just about to go find you."

"What a coincidence, I was just looking for you." Hearing that he was fine, Ruan Shiqing smiled, took the password box from 09, and couldn't wait to pull his wrist and strode to the conference room: "I have an important discovery, and I need your help to verify it."

Rong Heng didn't have time to say the rest of his words before they got stuck in his throat.

He stared at the other person's hand that was holding his wrist. The warmth of the other person was transmitted from their touching parts, making his heart beat rapidly.

Barely keeping her composure, she followed his steps and the two of them entered the conference room.

"What's the hurry?"

Ruan Shiqing did not answer him immediately, but asked 09 to wait outside the conference room and carefully confirmed whether the doors and windows were closed.

Afterwards, he placed the password box on the conference table and opened it, revealing a thick stack of documents inside.

He turned his head to look at Rong Heng, his eyes shining like stars: "I found something from the Zerg. If my guess is true and the source can be found successfully, the entire Galaxy Empire will undergo earth-shaking changes in the future."

Rong Heng took the report and read it carefully: "Antimatter? This theory is still just a guess, right? No one can prove the existence of antimatter now."

"That's right." Ruan Shiqing handed him another report: "But when I was studying the Zerg, I accidentally discovered a very small amount of antimatter in their bodies."

When antimatter and matter meet, annihilation reaction will definitely occur.

It was when Ruan Shiqing was dissecting the Zerg that he noticed the strange reactions occurring inside them. After repeated tests and experiments, he confirmed his guess - there was a high probability that antimatter existed in the Zerg's bodies.

Because of their special physiological structure, the small amount of antimatter remaining in their bodies is preserved intact.
