Chapter 110 "Hey, you're so protective, you can't even hug me?"
After dinner, He Xile walked to the laboratory leisurely, holding the two kittens and pinching their paws.
"Hello, teachers!" He had just greeted Teacher Sang Qian when he felt the terminal on his wrist vibrate. He raised his hand and took a look. It was a message from His Majesty.
Wen Jiyu: "In the lab?"
He Xile replied: "Yeah, I just arrived."
Wen Jiyu: "Tell Sang Qian and the others to cancel the morning experiment and take you somewhere."
He Xile: “?”
Huh? What happened so suddenly?
He Xile was confused and didn't know where the emperor was going to take him, but since the emperor was looking for him and even asked him to postpone the experiment, there must be something important, right?
With this thought in mind, He Xile turned around and told Sang Qian about this matter.
He was a little embarrassed: "Sorry..."
I've been taking a lot of leave recently.
Sang Qian smiled and waved his hand. "It's okay. We just happened to have a video recording of your live broadcast yesterday. If you're not here today, we can see if this recording, along with the videos you posted on your homepage, have any effect on the two little ones. After all, when doing an experiment, all kinds of situations need to be considered."
He Xile breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Thank you for your help."
He walked out of the laboratory and immediately saw the guard who usually stayed beside His Majesty standing not far away. He bowed slightly to He Xile and said, "Sir, please follow me."
The two walked out together.
He Xile asked curiously, "Do you know why His Majesty wants to see me?"
The guard smiled and said, "His Majesty has been in a bad mood these past few days and desperately needs someone to accompany him. He likes you very much, so you don't need to do anything; just staying by His Majesty's side is enough."
He Xile understood.
It seems that the answer to his question needs to be explored by himself.
He Xile nodded in understanding: "Thank you."
The two of them walked slowly to the outside of the palace.
The small hovercraft had already parked by the roadside. He Xile had just climbed aboard when he saw His Majesty sitting in the soft chair at the back, his body practically sunken into it. It was a rare sight not to be wearing his black tunic, but the black patterns on his clothes were still tightly covered. His brows were furrowed, and the terminal in his hand emitted a faint light, as if he had seen some unwanted message.
"Your Majesty." He Xile greeted.
Wen Jiyu raised his eyes and closed the terminal interface. He glanced at He Xile and asked casually, "I'm here. How did you sleep last night?"
He Xile: “…”
Well.
It would have been fine if His Majesty didn't mention it, but as soon as he mentioned last night, He Xile immediately thought of those three silly tentacles.
It's simply a magical operation.
"Tired." He Xile sat down next to Wen Jiyu and said half-complainingly, "Your Majesty may not know that I usually have a good relationship with the giant octopus in the palace. It's just that he seemed to be drunk last night, and three tentacles came out at once! Three!" He Xile proudly recounted the incident of bathing the tentacles last night.
Finally, he pinched his sore shoulders and sighed, "Drinking really messes things up."
Wen sent: "..."
The guards around: "..."
Wen Jiyu: "Indeed."
He Xile took the opportunity to praise His Majesty: "After all, not everyone is like Your Majesty, who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."
Wen sent: "..."
His Majesty touched his nose and said, "...Indeed."
He added: "If you don't like it, I won't let him go there anymore."
He Xile said, "That's not the case."
He smiled and said, "The big octopus is still very cute when it's not drunk."
Wen Ji and Ni He Xi Le glanced at each other.
Along the way, He Xile never asked about the destination of the day. Instead, he admired the beautiful scenery unique to the imperial capital outside the floating car window while chatting with His Majesty.
"The imperial capital is really great."
Outside the window, endless greenery complemented the vibrant, multicolored buildings, creating a beautiful fairytale world. Towering, candy-colored structures reached the sky, while greenery spiraled upwards around them. At a glance, the colors were vibrant and soothing. He Xile was in high spirits. Suddenly, he pointed out the window and exclaimed, "Your Majesty, look! That building is a tender green rabbit!" He Xile paused, his ears warming.
Oh my god, what is he talking about?
Wen Jiyu was the king of Hai Xinna, having lived in the imperial capital for countless years. He had seen all sorts of rabbits. And this kind of building was the most common in the imperial capital. Did He Xile really need to point it out to him?
Thinking of this, He Xile coughed lightly in embarrassment. He wanted to change the subject, or pretend that he hadn't noticed anything and continue looking at the scenery, but then he heard Wen Jiyu behind him say, "Well, it's quite rare."
He Xile's eyes curved and his mood suddenly became cheerful.
The hover car drove for a full half hour and finally stopped in a remote and relatively quiet place.
He Xile jumped out of the car and looked curiously. Not far away, he saw a very beautiful dark carved gate with a sentence written on it: You left behind beauty.
Behind the door is a piece of land surrounded by an endless fence. Because of the well-trimmed green plants as a partition and the poor visibility, it is difficult to see what is inside.
"You just stay here." Wen Jiyu ordered behind him.
The guards all agreed.
Only the guard whom Wen Jiyu trusted very much followed Wen Jiyu and the others inside, holding a bouquet of flowers and some strange things in his hands.
After passing through the carved gate and the partition, the view in front of you suddenly opens up and you can see everything at a glance.
He Xile paused and his pupils contracted slightly.
——It’s a cemetery.
The cemetery at Hai Xinna looked slightly different from that of China on Earth. Each plot was neatly divided into small sections, each covered in a variety of plants and flowers. He Xile guessed that these were probably the species favored by the deceased. The wooden plaques standing nearby were engraved with the deceased's name and life story.
He Xile pursed his lips and walked slowly behind Wen Jiyu.
The three of them passed countless wooden signs and finally stopped beside one of the tombs in the inner part.
This tomb appeared much larger than the neighboring ones, and was covered in vast expanses of blue flowers that He Xile couldn't name. The petals were large, the stamens a bright yellow, and they swayed gently in the breeze. In front of the tomb, bouquets of various colors were already piled high, almost leaving no room for standing. Clearly, many people had come here before He Xile and Wen Jiyu.
The guard stepped forward and handed the flowers in his hand to Wen Jiyu, who bent down and casually placed them there.
He stood quietly in front of the tomb, looking at the flowers without saying anything.
He Xile looked at the wooden sign beside him.
There were only three simple words written on it: Phyllis.
He Xile had never heard of this name before, so he couldn't help but take a second look.
Wen Jiyu seemed to notice He Xile's gaze. He scoffed softly, "It's my mother."
He Xile was stunned.
It turned out to be——
He immediately stepped forward and raised his hand to grab Wen Jiyu. Wen Jiyu was startled, but did not hide. The two of them clasped their dry hands together. He Xile said nothing, but silently gave Wen Jiyu strength.
Not long.
Wen Jiyu turned around and looked down at He Xile: "Let's go, I'll take you to the mountain to eat."
Are you leaving so soon?
He Xile looked at the flowers on the tomb again and nodded.
The two of them walked out of the cemetery together. Wen Jiyu never let go of He Xile's hand. He suddenly said, "I will never have children."
He Xile: “???”
ah?
Why did Your Majesty suddenly tell him this?
He Xile was a little confused.
"If nothing unexpected happens, you will be my only guardian in this world." Speaking of this, Wen Jiyu thought of when He Xile was first brought to the palace. He was even reluctant to be He Xile's guardian. In a blink of an eye, so much time has passed, and his state of mind has undergone countless changes.
He paused, savoring the strange feelings in his heart, and said, "Rounding it off, we are a family. Bringing you to see her is also an explanation."
Ah this.
What kind of weird explanation is this?
He Xile was inexplicably happy.
Forget it, His Majesty is in a bad mood. It’s better to coax him at this time.
but……
He Xile wondered, "How could His Majesty's birthday be so close to his mother's death anniversary?" Could this be the main reason His Majesty didn't want to celebrate his birthday and avoided it so much?
He Xile pursed his lips and pulled His Majesty's hand even harder.
It is said to be on a mountain, but in fact it is just a small slope. After climbing up, a very beautiful white building comes into view. The building looks like a bear paw, very delicate and looks very cute.
He Xile's eyes lit up and he let out an ignorant "Wow——"
He pointed at the bear's paw and turned back to say, "Your Majesty, this building is so cute."
Wen Jiyu: "Do you like it?"
He Xile nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "I like it."
Wen Jiyu said: "Then I will build one in the palace later."
"...That's not necessary," He Xile said. "It's better not to do something this time-consuming and laborious. Besides, the palace looks great now!"
Wen Ji moved his lips.
He didn't know what he was thinking about, his eyes became deep and profound, and he said calmly: "It's okay, don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities for post-disaster reconstruction in the future, and we will build one for you by the way."
He Xile: “…”
Post-disaster reconstruction???
Depend on.
He Xile thought about the size of the giant octopus and the destructive power it had used to knock the building away... maybe there really was a chance... Bah, bah, bah, he couldn't have such an idea!
I hope the giant octopuses will behave well in the future.
He Xile followed Wen Jiyu into the building.
Pushing the door open, Wen Jiyu reached out and pulled a bell next to him, calling out, "Sister."
"I heard you." A lazy voice sounded not far away, "I guessed you would come over in the next few days, so I waited for you in the store."
He Xile looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw a charming woman sitting up, her light eyes looking over here.
She has long light purple hair and is wearing a well-cut black dress. Her waist is so thin that one arm can pinch it. She is not particularly tall, but her body proportions are very good.
The woman walked up to the two of them gracefully, a smile on her lips. "Ah, this is the human you were forced to take over earlier. You actually brought him here. Come, sweetheart, let me hold you."
As she spoke, the woman stretched out her hands, and the unsuspecting He Xile was almost trapped by her. Fortunately, he was stopped by Wen Jiyu at the last moment.
His Majesty reached out and pulled He Xile in front of him, half-protecting him.
He said calmly, "Is lunch ready?"
The woman was stunned, looking them up and down, raising an eyebrow: "Oh, you're so protective, you can't even hug me?"
