Wen Xingze cried.
The parents had never seen Wen Xingze cry. Even though their Wang was very young, he would also feel unhappy, sad, and depressed...
But perhaps because of his sense of responsibility as a king, or perhaps because he has been accustomed to all kinds of unpleasant things since he was a child, he rarely gets particularly emotional.
Of course, he didn't burst into tears, just the tip of his nose and the corners of his eyes were red, and he turned his face away and quietly wiped away the tears with the back of his hand. Watching the footage broadcast by the camera, the whole nation was heartbroken, as if their hearts were being squeezed, and they wanted to rush into the camera and hug him.
A reporter from the official media was waiting nearby for a New Year's interview. The reporter, also in tears, asked Wen Xingze, "The new year has arrived. What do you want to say to the people, Your Majesty?"
Wen Xingze sniffed and thought hard for a few seconds.
The people of the whole country held their breath solemnly.
Wen Xingze: "Burp."
Parents: “…”
Wen Xingze: "Woo, woo, I want to eat roasted chicken legs."
Parents: “…………”
Eat, eat big chunks!!!
There's a reason why the Light-Giving Festival is also known as the Roasted Chicken Leg Festival. They then held a party all night long, with parents taking turns feeding him chicken legs. Wen Xingze couldn't even remember how much he'd eaten. It was late, and it was time for bed...
Of course, he remembered to call his boyfriend before going to bed.
"Teacher Chi, Happy New Year! See you tomorrow," Wen Xingze said, lying on the sofa, his phone in his arms. He looked up at the high, transparent dome in his bedroom. There were beautiful stars today. "Actually, I want to celebrate the holiday with you, too."
It’s a pity that Chi Yan is not from the Muse Empire. It’s better for them to get married quickly so that they can celebrate the holidays together.
Chi Yan hummed lightly.
Wen Xingze put on his Bluetooth headset: "Would you like me to save data?"
Chi Yan: "I'm not short of money."
So Wen Xingze chatted with Chi Yan about some trivial topics related to festivals, banquets, and parents. Because he was too tired after the whole day, he soon fell asleep during this slow-paced chat.
The Nebula headphones glowed.
Wen Xingze was sprawled out on the sofa, having a delicious dream. Suddenly, out of habit, he rolled to the side. Before he landed, he was caught in an embrace.
Cool and remote, with the smell of damp snow and grass in late winter.
Chi Yan carried Wen Xingze to the bed and wrapped him tightly in the quilt. The man's fingers brushed the ends of Wen Xingze's hair, lowered his eyes, and wanted to lean over and kiss his forehead.
But then, Wen Xingze spontaneously crawled into the quilt and hugged the SpongeBob SquarePants doll prepared by his parents, turning into a Wen Xingze rice ball.
Chi Yan: “…”
After all, it's him, there's nothing that can be done about it.
And it's very cute.
Chi Yan checked the room. The parents had checked it thousands of times. The temperature was suitable and there was no potential danger. They could call the servants through the central AI at any time.
It was already very late. When Chi Yan went to tuck in the corner of the quilt for Wen Xingze, Fantuan suddenly moved.
Chi Yan: “?”
It's not an illusion.
After a moment of silence, the rice ball moved again, and then Wen Xingze sat up from the rice ball.
Wen Xingze's hair was disheveled. He looked at Chi Yan in confusion for a long while, then pulled the collar of his shirt to make Chi Yan lower his head and kissed him.
A very loud sound.
"I'm completely full. If I don't sleep now, I'll die suddenly," Wen Xingze said these two illogical words and lay back down. "Good night."
After saying the last two words, his breathing became even and long again, and he fell asleep.
Chi Yan: “…”
Chi Yan: “…………”
He maintained the bent-over position, as if paused, and stood up again after about half a minute.
Chi Yan's expression was actually calm. It was only when he turned around that he began to feel his heart beating at an incredible frequency.
This isn't a solution. I need to marry him quickly, Chi Yan thought.
Outside the door.
"I wonder if the baby is lying in bed well and covering himself with the quilt." Douglas pushed his thick-bottomed glasses, hesitating whether to let the little robot take a look.
They happened to look at each other in surprise at Chi Yan who pushed the door open.
The scene was very embarrassing for a while.
Douglas had actually met Chi Yan at the negotiating table. As the Prime Minister of a country and His Majesty's right-hand man, he had always been very accurate in his diplomacy, being polite to everyone and never making extra enemies.
Chi Yan nodded to him: "Hello."
Douglas also bowed slightly as usual: "Hello."
The old-fashioned dwarf prime minister began to wonder whether to call the police.
at last.
A notification tone sounded from both terminals at the same time, finally alleviating the unspeakable embarrassment.
It turned out to be a notice about the "Cub Cultivation Plan":
"Congratulations to all parents! We've achieved 100% compliance with the original novel. The game "Baby Raising Plan" will officially enter a new chapter after the update tonight. More new and surprising features will be launched soon, so stay tuned!"

…
Moderate gaming is good for your physical and mental health. I wish you a happy gaming!
Wen Xingze’s first interstellar journey ended successfully.
Because the time was so short, I didn’t have time to do many things and didn’t meet many parents, but fortunately there will be another chance next time.
After returning home, Wen Xingze slept for another whole day. It was not until Chi Yan pulled him out of bed to eat that he gradually recovered from the aftereffects of the trip.
The gifts that Wen Xingze brought back from the interstellar space and that were given by parents have been neatly stored. Only the unknown seeds given by the elf parents and the gift boxes given by the robot parents have not been opened and are placed on the shelves.
The housekeeper bent down to light the candle, folded up the floor-length curtains, and then politely said goodbye to the two of them before leaving get off work.
"Already back on Earth?"
Wen Xingze was in a trance, especially when he was sitting at the dinner table. Chi Yan took off his gold-rimmed glasses and placed them beside him, revealing a pair of light silver eyes.
It's a nice, light silver with a hint of grey metallic.
Wen Xingze: “?”
Chi Yan: “?”
"Why is it silver?" Wen Xingze was a little shocked. "Although silver looks good too, but... shouldn't it be black on this side and silver on that side?" He remembered that the blind officer he picked up at the beginning did have silver eyes.
Chi Yan: “There is no such setting.”
Wen Xingze: "Then why were your eyes black before?"
Chi Yan: "Contact lenses."
Wen Xingze: “???”
Wen Xingze became even more dazed.
Obviously, this topic made Chi Yan feel a little uncomfortable. He looked away and coughed lightly. When he looked up again, he was caught off guard and looked into Wen Xingze's eyes.
Wen Xingze had been wondering which universe Chi Yan came from, his eyes, everything he had experienced...
"If you want to know, I'll tell you everything," Chi Yan said.
Unexpectedly, Wen Xingze looked at him for a moment and said, "No."
Chi Yan was stunned.
Wen Xingze walked around the dining table, dragged the chair next to him and sat next to Chi Yan, reaching out to touch the corner of Chi Yan's eyes.
"I can touch it, right? We are in love," Wen Xingze said this in a very satisfied tone, and then said, "If you don't want me to, I will take it back."
He was about to withdraw his hand, but Chi Yan held Wen Xingze's hand: "...I want to."
Wen Xingze then gently touched Chi Yan's eyes.
"You are the most important." Wen Xingze said.
Of course he wanted to know Chi Yan's past, but his curiosity wasn't that strong, and Chi Yan clearly didn't want to talk about it. If he had wanted to, he would have had many opportunities to do so, and wouldn't have had to wait until this last moment to confront it.
Chi Yan was quiet for a long time.
It’s not that I don’t want to talk about it.
He was actually afraid, because that wasn't a glorious past. At least now, he was afraid that Wen Xingze would see that side of him.
Just like the elves would avoid Wen Xingze when they turned into dark elves, the part hidden by Chi Yan was many times more unbearable than that.
Of course, they all knew that Wen Xingze would not change his opinion of them because of these things, but the fear would not disappear because of the existence of light.
Wen Xingze: "Teacher Chi?"
His fingers gently rested on Chi Yan's brow bone, and Chi Yan closed his eyes, held Wen Xingze's hand, and kissed his fingertips.
Wen Xingze: "..." Isn't this a bit too exciting!
Chi Yan: "Really not listening?"
"I don't want to listen, so please don't tell me," Wen Xingze said, "and..."
Chi Yan: "And?"
Wen Xingze: "I'm hungry." His stomach growled loudly.
Chi Yan: “…”
Chi Yan was hit hard.
So the two of them quickly stopped talking about serious topics and started eating. Wen Xingze felt that Chi Yan and the parents seemed to have a strong sense of being breeders.
After dinner, it was finally time for the part that Wen Xingze had been waiting for.
Opening gifts.
Chi Yan placed the paper cutter and the box in front of Wen Xingze. After making sure he wouldn't cut his hands, he stood up and said, "I'll go get you some hot milk."
Wen Xingze said from the bottom of his heart: "You are so virtuous."
Chi Yan: “…” Although he was very happy, this description sounded weird.
I don’t know what the robot parents gave me. In fact, Wen Xingze would be very happy no matter what they gave him, but this did not prevent him from enjoying the process of opening the blind box.
Wen Xingze carefully opened the box. It was carefully packaged and contained a steam-like mechanical pocket watch with gears and a spring.
When Wen Xingze opened his pocket watch, the microwave oven next to him suddenly lit up, and the speaker played the stumbling sound of No. 015:
"King, did you receive the gift?"
Wen Xingze: "Got it, this pocket watch is very beautiful, what is it used for?"
He opened his pocket watch and a translucent light screen popped out.
The robots all gathered around the microphone. 015 waved his hands up and down meaninglessly. "It has many functions. The simplest one is time travel."
They could actually write the instructions directly into the pocket watch program, but they were greedy and wanted to talk to the baby for a while longer, so they arbitrarily set it up so that opening the pocket watch would automatically connect to the mechanical star's communication.
Wen Xingze: “?”
Travel through time??!
Is this what he imagined? Isn't this a bit too high-tech?
Wen Xingze was quite brave. He reached out and moved the hands of his pocket watch. The time was now 7:25 in the evening, so he moved the hands to 7:20.
The second hand stopped for a moment, then began to reverse, going back five times in the blink of an eye, and then...
Wen Xingze felt his vision go dark.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw the intact and unopened express box.
Chi Yan placed the paper cutter and the box in front of Wen Xingze. After making sure he wouldn't cut his hands, he stood up and said, "I'll go get you some hot milk."
Wen Xingze was speechless for a while, took a deep breath, and then said, "You, you are so virtuous...?"
Chi Yan: “…” Although he was very happy, this description sounded weird.
Even Teacher Chi’s inner monologue remained unchanged.
Time really goes back!!!
Wen Xingze didn't want to repeat these five minutes, so he turned the minute hand back to 7:25. The robots were looking at him expectantly and anxiously through the light screen.
Wen Xingze: "This..."
Robot parents are nervous.
Wen Xingze said sincerely, "How cool!"
Can I go back to the past, or can I go to the future? I don't know. Of course, whether it's possible or not, Wen Xingze won't choose to go to the future. The existence of this pocket watch itself seems to break and create many paradoxes...
The robot parents must have put a lot of effort into it.
The robot parent nervously confirmed that Wen Xingze was sincere.
They prepared this gift for a long time and revised it many times, because they were worried that the baby would not like it.
The robots' breathing lights flashed, and after a moment, they lowered their heads shyly.
...Fortunately, he likes it.
Time flies.
Wen Xingze finally understood why Chi Yan was not at home for a lot of time every day. In addition to his work here, he also had to go to the interstellar space to handle government affairs... This was completely different from Wen Xingze, the indifferent king. Of course, Wen Xingze was also forced.
However, Wen Xingze is not idle.
In addition to cooperating with the publicity, Rockefeller seemed serious about his plan to shoot a documentary about Feng Shui masters, and Wen Xingze also had to make a lot of preparations at home for the audition for "One Day".
"Try not to go out unless you have something to do," Jiang Ye reminded him after work that day, "and be sure to wear a mask when you go out."
"Meeting the Dragon at Night" has reached the climax of the plot. Hengzhi's identity is revealed, and the whole plot is heading towards the most intense conflict, accompanied by flashbacks of Hengzhi's memories.
Yu Long Ye was already very explosive, and as the plot progressed, it gradually got better and better, reaching an unprecedented level at this point.
When Wen Xingze went out, he heard the security guard and the cleaning lady talking about who was the real culprit of the Dragon Clan's genocide.
Wen Xingze himself has seen a surge in the number of fans. He is often asked for autographs when he walks on the street, and when he goes to the community supermarket to buy yogurt, aunties will stop him and smile and ask him to introduce him to a partner.
At least this was the first time that Wen Xingze could see marketing articles about him whenever he browsed his Moments, with titles like "Five years! Forbearance! The former tricycle-riding idol with a gorgeous face but a poor and obscure personality, actually..."
...Wen Xingze didn't read any further, after all, this was too embarrassing!
Wen Xingze: "Oh, okay."
The live broadcast effect before was actually quite good. In the end, the official of Yu Long Ye came out and said that it was a surprise prepared by the crew for everyone. The whole scene was produced with green screen and projection. At least they got away with it, but they themselves know that this is bullshit.
"Forget about your previous live broadcast," Jiang Ye sighed. He couldn't dwell on this matter too much. Thinking about it too much would have a negative impact on his worldview. "What other big news do you have? Tell us all at once."
Wen Xingze: "Chi Yan and I——"
Jiang Ye: "You're not in love with him, are you?"
Wen Xingze was just about to say, "So you knew it now," when he saw Jiang Ye holding the handlebars of the bike, while his other hand was groping for the quick-acting heart pills in the front cabinet of the bike.
Wen Xingze: “…”
The car was driving across the overpass, and the tires began to slip slightly, visibly.
"Wait, Sister Ye," Wen Xingze said, "Calm down first! Teacher Chi is on a business trip recently, so the thing you're worried about won't happen for the time being..."
Let's put this topic aside for now.
Wen Xingze returned home and went to the small open-air garden to look at the potted plants he had planted.
This seed was the New Year's gift that the unicorn had brought him and that the elf parents had given him. However, Wen Xingze had no impression of it when he played "Desolate" before. The elf parents did not tell him what it was, nor did they give any planting instructions. They just put a note on it and told him to find some soil and bury it.
Wen Xingze bought special growing soil and didn't dare to water it too much. He just stared at the soil where no sprouts had grown every day and cheered for it in his heart.
The live broadcast channel of "Cub Cultivation Plan":
[Marry His Majesty Team: I guessed what this seed is, but the way he tries to guess and wait for it to sprout is so adorable. I want to watch it a little longer.]
[YaYa Aster: So who was chosen to travel for the first time? ]
User 12743: I really want to see my son, even though we only met a short time ago.
【Bizhan Xia: Me too...】
The main star of the elves.
This is an extremely quiet planet.
The elves have many bards who make songs about the king's stories. They hold harps and let their songs flow across streams and mountains under the moonlight.
The most romantic and the most morbid race.
There was no singing that night.
This is the night of the dark elves.
The king had not come to the holy tree for a long time, and their throne was empty, but the dark elves were still accustomed to getting close to it and resting their foreheads on the cool armrests, which made them feel calm.
The old movie projector was turning hoarsely, playing a delicate and slow-paced art film that tells the story of poetry and travel, freedom and love.
Their king knew them well enough to choose this film as a New Year's gift. It was the Light Elves' favorite type of film, one they could sit through many times with gusto, even shedding tears when moved.
“…”
In the center of the vast forest, a lonely and silent light shines down from tens of thousands of meters in the sky.
Frames from old movies flashed by one by one. In corners where light could not reach, many dark elves sat silently in the shadows.
They had long hair that reached the ground, dark eyes, and silver chains around their ankles that looked like some kind of thin shackles.
——Dark elves prefer blood, violence, and killing to poetry and love. Watching such a long, boring movie for even one second longer is a waste of life.
And they have already seen this movie for the 359th time.
