Xie Sen looked at the long row of trees in the distance and felt very distressed. In order to block the giant lynx, he exchanged twenty trees at once, spending twenty energy. He looked at Maine and said, "Can you find someone to transplant them to the yard?"
"Okay, I'll call someone later." Maine nodded, took him in his arms and walked out.
Xie Sen pulled his hand: "Haven't you received your diploma yet?" According to the order in which the teachers in the Department of Botany issued diplomas, with Maine's grades, he would probably be the last one.
Maine said, "Come back and get it after we go to the hospital."
"I'm fine. I'll go with you to get your diploma, and we'll leave together later." Xie Sen said.
Maine hesitated, and Xie Sen pulled him towards Information Team 1: "It's decided." The crowd dispersed and made way for them.
The people who followed Maine continued to follow them, and someone said, "Thank God, can you give me a potato?"
“I want chili!”
Maine said coldly: "Don't even think about it."
Xie Sen accompanied Maine to get his diploma, and waited for him to finish taking the group photo. Then he suggested, "How about taking a photo in front of your classroom door?"
The classrooms for college classes are often not fixed, but the classroom is still the place where all students spend the longest time. When Xie Sen thought of this, he wanted to take a photo in front of the classroom door.
Maine has been in this classroom for a long time.
Maine naturally had no objection. After taking a group photo at the door of Information Class 1, he rejected the invitation of other classmates to take group photos and left the classroom.
Just as he was leaving the teaching building, a classmate suddenly rushed over. Maine's body instantly entered a state of combat readiness, staring at the person coldly.
The man stopped two meters away and looked at Xie Sen with shining eyes: "Student Xie, I want to challenge you!"
Immediately afterwards, people came one after another and challenged Xie Sen.
Xie Sen looked puzzled, not understanding why so many people suddenly wanted to fight him. Thinking about the previous fight with the male, although he won in the end, he still felt very frustrated, wasting too much energy, and his attack power was not enough.
Many of the plants he activated later did not develop attack methods. Although the plant he activated first thought of an attack method, its actual combat skills were not very proficient.
Someone came to fight him, and now he didn't have to hide the plants anymore, so he was very excited.
Maine snorted coldly, "Challenging a pregnant man? If you want to challenge him, you have to defeat me first." He glanced around, "I'm waiting for your challenge letter."
Sitting on the shuttle, Xie Sen opened the academy forum and said depressedly: "I actually want to fight. I'm too bad at actual combat. I have so many plants and energy now. This guy should have been killed by me today, but I almost let him escape."
Maine said: "You are already very good. You are not suitable for strenuous exercise now."
Xie Sen patted his stomach lightly: "It's okay. You see, I fought today and I didn't feel anything. I mainly used plants in the fight, which didn't test my physical strength."
After the shuttle stopped, Maine folded down the seat, propped himself up with his hands, and lightly jumped to the back seat. He reached out and lifted up Xie Sen's shirt. Xie Sen shrank back: "What are you doing? Oh my god! How can it be so scary?"
There were two thin purple strips on his ribs and shoulders, which were the marks left by the vines. He touched them with his fingers and felt a little pain. "Hey, the vines are quite useful, but they are too tight when used at a fast speed."
"Fighting takes a toll on your body," Maine said, leaning down to kiss him on the lips, "If you want to fight, at least wait until the baby is born."
Xie Sen: "Okay, I'll practice more often so that I can react faster in actual combat." He looked outside, "Is this a hospital?"
"Well, go see Doctor Bai."
Doctor Bai was very surprised when he examined Xie Sen, and was a little scared: "How did you get hurt? Fortunately, you avoided the abdomen, otherwise it would be very dangerous."
After the examination, Dr. Bai breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, you and the baby are fine. You must be more careful in the future." He wrote down the name of an ointment: "This ointment is suitable for pregnant men. There are no side effects when applied. Just go to the counter to buy it."
The two thanked him, bought the ointment and returned to the apartment.
Not long after, the gatebell rang. Xie Sen opened his bracelet and saw two tall men standing at the door. Behind them was a trailer full of trees.
Xie Sen's eyes lit up and he immediately stood up. Maine said, "Let me go over there. Where are these trees?"
Xie Sen pulled his arm and said, "Let's go together. There are already tree seeds planted by the wall. There's no need to plant more. Let's plant these trees in front of the apartment."
In the end, twenty trees were planted in a circle to the left front of the apartment, leaving an open space in the center, where Xie Sen planned to put a set of tables and benches as a place to drink tea and relax.
After the trees were planted, Maine went to make lunch, while Xie Sen took a shower and sat on the sofa to read the news. The news about his attack had spread online, and most of the comments were indignant, demanding severe punishment for the attacker, and many people were concerned about his health.
He looked at this and switched to the anchor's control panel. Sure enough, the private messages were 999 again. He opened the first few messages, all of which were asking about his health and praising him for his ability.
He didn't read on and wrote a notice: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine and will have lunch soon! [Smiley face]
As soon as he sent it, there was a reply: "I'm glad you're alright. I want to have lunch with the anchor!"
"Please broadcast lunch live, so you can see I am happy too!"
"Same request. This live broadcast room has really broadened my horizons. I have seen many contracted beasts that I have never seen before, and also many foods that I have never heard of."
Xie Sen did not reply, and of course did not start a live broadcast.
Previously, he was eating in front of 20,000 people at a concert hall, and he felt very uncomfortable at first. However, the stage was big, and he couldn't feel the presence of the audience when he looked at the food. Most importantly, the people around him were eating very happily, and there was a very party atmosphere, so he forgot about it as he was absorbed in eating.
If the lunch broadcast was live, and it was just him and Maine eating together, in front of tens of millions of viewers, his attention would definitely be on the audience, and he would definitely not be able to eat.
Thinking about the words in private messages praising him for being so awesome, he switched back to the news page and clicked on the video of him being attacked.
The video is not long and the quality is not very clear. It starts with the giant lynx carrying its owner and running away, and ends with the crowd dispersing. Many comments under the video are discussing how the tree suddenly appeared.
"It's so cool, so many trees suddenly appeared!"
"I watched it several times in slow motion. Are the people fighting behind Xie Shen trying to grab potatoes?"
"Yes, that yellow thing that's being kicked around is a potato!"
"I remembered Xie Shen's previous sparring video. He definitely used plants to fight."
"So, these potatoes and trees are what was left after the battle?"
"Hahaha, I have a good idea. I want to challenge Xie Shen to a duel!"
"Wake up, Xie Shen is a pregnant man now. Isn't it shameful to spar with a pregnant man? And Maine has said that if you want to spar with Xie Shen, you have to get past him first."
Xie Sen read the comments and once again lamented the wit of netizens. Not becoming a detective would be a waste of talent. After reading to the end, he finally understood why those people wanted to compete with him.
They are all here for the plants!
This video was obviously taken by onlookers, and it is shaky and unclear. From this point of view, the school is quite reliable and did not let the video spread.
After lunch, Maine made a strawberry milkshake for Xie Sen. Xie Sen sat on the sofa, leaning against Maine and drinking it slowly, while chatting: "Do you have any career plans?"
Maine hooked his fingers into his black hair and rubbed it in his hands. "Keep working on various software programs. What about you? Is there anything you want to do?"
Xie Sen thought for a moment and said, "I don't have any particular favorite. I do like cooking. You guys don't eat much here. I have to remember a lot of the food myself. I don't know how to cook it, so I have to figure it out." He laughed and said, "It's quite interesting when I think about it."
From the ingredients to the finished product, he feels a special sense of accomplishment. When he made bean sprouts and tofu according to his memory, he was very happy. He had made bean sprouts in elementary school, but when he saw the bean sprouts grow, he felt a special sense of accomplishment.
On the planet Brant, or rather all the planets here, many delicacies have disappeared due to the scarcity of plants. Some recipes have been passed down, but some have not. There is still a long way to go before the revival of the cuisine.
Xie Sen became excited when he thought of this: "It's definitely not enough to just rely on system energy. We still need to grow more plants. Once we have more plants, we can make all kinds of food. In the future, we can open a restaurant and get all the ingredients and finished products in one place."
Maine: "It's fine if you like it, but the restaurant will be very tiring."
Xie Sen didn't care: "It's okay, it's not for making money, it's just a hobby. I just develop dishes, not be a chef."
Maine smiled and said, "Okay, I want to be the first to try every dish you make."
While they were chatting, Xie Sen's phone rang. Seeing the contact, he sat up straight, put the juice on the coffee table, and turned on the speaker: "Master Qi, did you find out?"
Qi Shao said: "Yes, he is from Booth Star, a professional spy trained since childhood. He chose the plant department because there are fewer people and the management is loose. He has a hidden identity and plenty of time to do other things. You are an unexpected surprise to him."
Xie Sen rolled his eyes: "I wonder if he still likes it now?"
Qi Shao laughed out loud: "The military is negotiating with Booth Planet, and it is estimated that there will be no results. After he is captured, he is destined to be abandoned." His voice became serious, "In addition to Booth Planet, there will definitely be people on other planets who are interested in you. The plants on your body are of great attraction to any planet."
Xie Sen said: "I will keep my distance from any strangers, and I will not easily trust people I am not familiar with."
Qi Shao: "Okay, it seems that you still don't want close protection. The military leaders have ordered that everything is based on your opinion. If there is any danger, contact me."
"Okay," Xie Sen asked before he hung up, "How's the giant lynx?"
"The Contracted Beast Research Institute has taken over. You can ask Dean Mu."
After hanging up the call, Xie Sen took a sip of juice and said, "The military here is quite easy to talk to."
After this attack, he thought the military would send people to protect him with a tough attitude. When he received the call from Mr. Qi, he was still thinking about how to refuse.
Maine was not surprised at all. "It's not that they are easy to talk to. It's just that you have a special identity. They are worried that you will be dissatisfied with Brant and go to another planet. If you were born and raised on Brant, it would be easy to deal with, but you are an adopted son. If you recognize people from other planets as your parents and leave with them, the military will have no choice but to use coercive measures, and it will also trigger a war."
"Besides," Maine smiled, "they're afraid you'll be angry and won't provide plants."
Xie Sen thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he smiled and said, "Think whatever you want, as long as the result is what I want. Anyway, I don't mind having someone following me all the time."
He opened the address book and found Mu Lin: "I'll ask Dean Mu about the situation."
Mu Lin quickly answered the call, and Xie Sen asked directly: "How is the giant lynx?"
"He's awake, but because he was separated from his beast master and was injured, he's very irritable." Mu Lin clicked his tongue, "Do you know his identity as the beast master?"
Xie Sen: "I see. What will it do if its owner is imprisoned?"
Mu Lin said in a deep voice, "Imprison them separately." He couldn't help cursing, and then sighed, "Contracted beasts will follow the orders of their masters. If they are not imprisoned, they will definitely fight. A long time ago, there was a case of a contracted beast helping its master escape from prison."
Xie Sen thought of the research he had discussed with Bai Jiao: "What if the bond is dissolved?"
Mu Lin's tone was unexpected: "What do you know?"
Xie Sen said: "I don't know much. Has the medicine to break the contract not been successfully researched yet?"
Mu Lin said, "I got a research document from Meier's bracelet before. It contains a lot of records about the mental reactions of contracted beasts after being stimulated by various stimuli. After researching the drug to release the contract, the drug was made, but the effect is uncertain."
Xie Sen didn't expect Mu Lin to explain it to him so carefully, and was a little surprised.
Mu Lin continued, "We held several meetings and decided to try the medicine. Regardless of whether the medicine is successful or not, the contracted beast may fall into mania, especially the contracted beast that has established a close partnership with the beast master. We would like to ask for your help. The previous contracted beast surgery proved that you can comfort the contracted beast very well."
Xie Sen suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Mu Lin told him everything. If he agreed to help, he would know it no matter what.
He said, "Okay, when do we try it?"
Mu Lin smiled and said, "That's nice. I'll contact the person as soon as possible. The sooner the test is done, the better. If it doesn't work, the research team will have to continue researching." He sighed, "There are quite a few contracted beasts imprisoned at the same time as the beast master."
Xie Sen: "Just contact me when the time is confirmed. I don't have anything to do recently."
At night, Xie Sen came out of the bathroom, drying his hair, and just as he stepped out of the door, Maine knelt down on one knee in front of him. Xie Sen was stunned, keeping his hand raised to grab the towel, his heart pounding.
Maine's movements were particularly sharp. Without any preparation, he took out a black box that was faintly glowing and held it up, looking at him intently: "Asen, will you be my partner?"
Xie Sen came back to his senses, grabbed the towel and threw it behind him, nodded and stretched out his hand: "Okay!" Thinking of his current outfit of big shorts and a vest, he couldn't help but sigh, "Can't you propose to me when I'm handsome?"
A smile flashed in Maine's eyes: "You are very handsome now."
Xie Sen raised the corner of his mouth and snorted, "You are not even one-tenth of what you looked like when you were at your most handsome." A drop of water dripped from the hair on the back of his head. He shrank his neck and saw Maine open the box. He resisted the urge to look back at his messy hair.
If you don’t see it, just pretend to be handsome.
The box opened, revealing two silver plain rings, which sparkled under the light and looked very beautiful. Maine gently pinched his fingers and put the rings on him.
Xie Sen picked up another one and looked at it carefully. He saw the initials of his name on the inner circle. He turned the ring on his finger and knew without looking that Maine's name must be on his ring as well.
He carefully put the ring on Maine's hand. They crossed their hands and placed their fingers on the back of each other's hands. Xie Sen smiled and said, "It looks good. Your aesthetic taste is proportional to your appearance."
He raised his hands up: "Get up, why are you still kneeling?"
Maine pulled out her fingers and kissed the back of his hand, then lowered her head to hold his waist, put her head on his abdomen, and said in a joyful voice: "Baby, your dad has agreed to my proposal!"
Xie Sen rubbed his hair, feeling a little embarrassed. If he had ten heads in the past, he would never have thought that one day he would see such a scene. In addition to embarrassment, he was more happy. He and Maine had no relatives, and the two of them formed a family together and would have their baby.
At this moment, he felt that it was a good thing that he could have a child.
After a while, Xie Sen pulled Maine's hair and said, "Get up. He is probably not as big as a fist now, and he doesn't understand what you are saying. I want to blow dry my hair."
Maine stood up, carried him to the stool, bent down and kissed him on the face, looking very happy: "I'll blow you."
Xie Sen tilted his head to glance at Maine. Maine's most common expression was no expression at all. When he was with him, his expression was very gentle and he would smile, but he had never been so happy, as if even his hair was happy.
He couldn't help laughing: "So happy?"
Maine pinched his earlobe and said, "Well, I've been waiting for the day to get my diploma."
Maine's movements were very gentle, his fingers running through Xie Sen's hair. The hair dryer here made no noise at all, and the room was very quiet.
Xie Sen touched his belly and said, "When are we going to get the certificate? When are we going to have the wedding?"
"Tomorrow morning." Maine had obviously thought it through long time ago, and gave an answer instantly. "I haven't planned the wedding yet, and you can't be too tired during your pregnancy. Can we wait until the baby is born before doing it?"
Although Xie Sen has never raised a child, he has seen others raise children. There are a lot of things to do after the child is born, and it is particularly energy-consuming.
"No, let's hold the wedding this month or next month. My belly isn't that noticeable yet. I don't know how busy I'll be after I give birth. Don't make it too big. Just invite friends for a meal."
Maine rubbed his hair, which was already completely dry, put the hair dryer back in its place, leaned over and hugged him: "I want everyone to know that you are my partner."
Xie Sen tilted his head and kissed him: "Who do you think doesn't know now? Don't make trouble. You are not the type who likes to be in the spotlight. I hate trouble. I don't want to think of the wedding in the future with only memories of chaos, tiredness, and exhaustion."
When Maine heard him say that, he immediately said, "Okay, let's do as you said. We won't make it too big. I'll make the arrangements, you don't have to worry about it. You just need to decide who to invite."
Xie Sen nodded: "Okay."
The next morning, Xie Sen had just finished breakfast and was drinking orange juice when he received a call from Mu Lin, informing him that the drug trial would be held at ten o'clock at the Contracted Beast Research Institute.
He and Maine went to get their marriage certificate first, and the officer looked particularly excited when he took the photo of them.
After Xie Sen and Maine received their certificates, they were very excited when they saw each other's names written in the partner column of the identity information. They were intimate on the shuttle for a long time.
The two arrived at the research institute at 9:50. Gu Luo was waiting for them in the parking lot and took them to a building at the back. Gu Luo scanned their faces all the way and came to an extra-large room.
There were six other people in the room: Mu Lin, Bai's father, Bai Jiao, and a doctor whom he had met during the contracted beast surgery. He didn't know the other two.
The room was divided in two by a transparent wall, which was divided in two by a concrete wall. On the left was an oversized unconscious kangaroo, and on the right lay an unconscious male.
Xie Sen recognized him immediately: "Is it the contracted beast dealer?"
Mu Lin nodded: "It's him."
Father Bai, who was standing next to the huge instrument on the right, said, "Everyone is here, let's get started."
"Okay." The tall middle-aged doctor beside Bai's father nodded and clicked on the instrument. The ceiling above the transparent wall opened, revealing various instruments above. Two bundles of thin tubes hung down from above, with the same light blue liquid under the thin tubes, but the kangaroo's side was three times that of its owner.
The pointed tip pierced into the unconscious man and beast, and the light blue liquid gradually disappeared.
Except for Xie Sen and Maine, everyone gathered around the instrument and watched the changes in the values on it.
Xie Sen kept looking at the kangaroo, and soon he noticed that the kangaroo kicked its legs. He immediately said, "The kangaroo seems to be waking up." He took a step forward and put his hand on the transparent wall.
Mu Lin said: "The effect of the mystery drug is almost gone."
Soon, the kangaroo woke up completely. It yelled and jumped up, then froze and turned its head around in confusion. When it saw Xie Sen, it stopped and jumped to the transparent wall. It put its head against Xie Sen's palm and opened its mouth to yell.
Tuan Tuan translated: "It said sorry, it didn't want to hurt you."
Xie Sen looked at the kangaroo in surprise. The kangaroo blinked its big eyes, and its extra-long eyelashes brushed against the wall, just like two brushes. It called out weakly again.
Tuan Tuan continued to translate: "Is my beast master dead? I can't feel him anymore. That's great. I hate him so much. I don't want to form a bond with him at all. If the beast master dies, I will die too. I deserve to die. I have done so many bad things and hurt many of my companions."
Kangaroo shed big tears onto the wall. Xie Sen felt distressed and angry. It was obvious that Kangaroo was forced to sign the contract.
He comforted her, "You will be fine, don't be sad, you are just following the orders of the beast master, you are not a bad person."
"What is this?" a doctor asked in surprise.
Xie Sen touched the kangaroo through the wall and turned to look at the doctors: "It worked. It can no longer sense the presence of its owner."
The tall middle-aged doctor operating the instrument nodded, his voice suppressing excitement: "Yes, the data shows that it is currently in an unbonded state, but it is physically and mentally weak."
He looked at Xie Sen and said, "You are really amazing. Can you talk to it?"
Xie Sen pointed at Tuan Tuan: "It translated it."
This result made all the doctors extremely excited, and Bai Jiao's eyes were particularly bright: "That's great."
The contracted animal dealer was taken away for exile, and the kangaroo was sent to the research institute's maintenance area for recuperation. After Mu Lin discussed with the doctors, they decided to proceed with the termination of the contract.
After all, there is enough time, and Xie Sen is also here. Only by breaking the contracts of a few more groups of people can we determine whether the efficacy of the contract-breaking medicine is stable.
The first few groups of contract-makers to terminate their contracts were all contract beast dealers. The termination went very smoothly. The contract beasts were all forced to enter into the contract, and they were all very happy after the termination, but they were physically weak, so they were all sent to the care area.
When they arrived at the giant lynx and its owner, the situation suddenly changed. After the giant lynx woke up, it roared loudly and kept attacking the wall. Its huge eyes were blood red as it stared at the doctors, as if it wanted to rush out and eat it alive.
Tuan Tuan said, "It's cursing at you, saying you should return it to its owner, or it will eat you all!"
After translating, Tuantuan flapped his wings and flew to the same height as the giant lynx's eyes, chirping non-stop: "Humph, don't you see what you look like now? You're still making harsh remarks. Are you kidding me?"
"Your beast master attacked Asen, and it's obvious that he is not a good guy. You are just like him, not a good guy!"
In order to see Tuantuan clearly, the giant lynx squints its eyes and roars at Tuantuan.
Tuan Tuan: "You can shout until your throat is hoarse and no one will help you. Do you think your loud voice can scare me? This is a big joke. I am braver than you!"
The entire outside room was filled with the roar of the giant lynx and the constant chirping of Tuan Tuan. The giant lynx shouted that it was tired and stopped for a while, but Tuan Tuan was still chirping non-stop, very excited.
"What...is it saying?" the tall middle-aged doctor pointed at Tuantuan and asked.
What else can I say? Just quarrel!
