Chapter 130 I am not a child anymore.
ah.
He Xile didn't expect that the reason why His Majesty came here to wait for him was this.
Especially after hearing what His Majesty said...
He Xile pursed his lips and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm not a child anymore."
He Xile is already an adult, and calling himself a "kid" may seem a bit childish.
Moreover, when He Xile was in junior high school on Earth, he was already able to go to and from school by himself, and did not need his parents to come home at all, let alone in high school, where his parents rarely came to pick him up.
Even just now in the class, although He Xile was enrolled as a first-grade elementary school student, he was actually more like an unskilled part-time life teacher in the class who could take care of other children.
What's more...
He Xile whispered, "Do you have to come pick me up in the future? Will this delay your work too much?"
As the ruler of a country, how could he have the time to pick him up every day?
Wen Jiyu said, "It's okay."
He said calmly, "I trained so many ministers and nobles, not just to sit around and do nothing. If they can't even handle simple matters, there's no point in them staying in their current positions."
He Xile blinked.
He understands the truth...
But since His Majesty had said so, He Xile did not insist.
——Since it was Teacher Xun Shu who proposed to pick him up from school, it may also be a part of Haixinna culture. If Your Majesty does not come, it may cause Your Majesty some unnecessary trouble.
He Xile still vividly remembers the scene when the Supervisory Committee came.
He didn't want to be questioned by that group of people again.
The group returned to the palace together.
On the way, He Xile raced against time to video chat with Xiaotuan.
"Lanlan, my dad and I are in the Ice Country right now. It's snowing all year round. It's so cold."
Unfortunately, it was already night time for Xiaotuan and Majiri. The surroundings were covered with ice and snow. They could not see any houses and had no place to stay, so they simply set up a tent on the spot to keep warm.
The little ball wrapped itself up in a thick ball, leaving only a small head exposed.
If her ears hadn't moved back and forth, He Xile wouldn't have noticed that there was a little fox in the pile of clothes.
He Xile couldn't help but gasp. "It looks so cold there." He asked with some concern, "Have you been watching my videos recently? At least two hours a day, remember?"
"I know, I know." Little Chicken Pecking Rice nodded. "My dad and I watched your live broadcast and learned about your abilities, so we've kept the video on ever since. We originally planned to go straight back to the Imperial Capital, but then we realized that this kind of journey is really rare, and we're almost at the end of this journey... Now that we're here, it would be a shame not to see the scenery over there."
"Your father has already told me."
He Xile frowned, "It's a pity that when I video chat with you, I'm just a virtual image. Although I can hug you, I don't have body temperature, otherwise I can help warm you up."
"Xiaotuan is about to freeze to death."
She shuddered very cooperatively, staring at He Xile with her round eyes. He Xile suddenly had an idea and felt that Xiaotuan was going to do something bad. Sure enough, the other party stretched out his claws and opened a little space in the tent. The blizzard outside suddenly crackled and whistled and hit He Xile's face.
He Xile: “…”
He was just a virtual image and shouldn't have felt the cold wind, but after seeing this scene, his body already felt a little cold, and countless snowflakes fell on his face.
He immediately wiped his face and wailed, "Xiao Tuan, close the curtain quickly!"
Xiaotuan burst into laughter.
The curtains were drawn again and warmth returned.
Xiaotuan gently lifted a corner of the quilt with her paw, revealing a ball of light. She said happily, "But Lanlan, don't worry about me. I have the paper-carved lamp that Lanlan made for me to keep me warm, hehehe."
He Xile: “?”
Paper lanterns can’t provide warmth, right?
As if knowing what He Xile was thinking, Xiao Tuan said, "Just one look and my heart is warmed."
...That's what I said.
He Xile only felt a warm current extending from his heart to every part of his body, making him feel like he was soaking in warm water in winter.
He smiled gently, "I'm glad you like it. When you return from your trip, come find me at the palace."
"Great! I'm really looking forward to meeting Lanlan again." Xiaotuan said with anticipation, "When we meet, Lanlan can hug me with her warm body!"
He Xile: “Yeah.”
The two chatted for a while, and the hovercraft arrived at the palace.
After He Xile said goodbye to Xiaotuan, he was in a good mood and couldn't help humming a little tune. The next second, he heard His Majesty beside him say casually, "If I remember correctly, Ma Jieli's daughter is already in her thirties. Because of a genetic disorder, she is still in the state of a little fox, right?"
He Xile: “…”
Why.
Why do you have to remind me that she is already in her thirties!
Shouldn't a woman's age be a secret?
He Xile coughed lightly: "Yes."
"Oh, it seems my memory is pretty good then."
Then, His Majesty said rather sourly, "But I originally thought that your paper lantern was only given to me. I didn't expect that everyone would get one in the end."
He Xile's eyes curved: "You are the first one to get it!"
Wen Jiyu paused, then said nonchalantly, "You don't need to use honorifics. Actually, according to human calculations, the age difference between us isn't that big."
That's true.
He Xile had considered the age issue of both parties before, but after all, His Majesty is His Majesty and is He Xile's guardian.
"Your Majesty is so powerful that I can't help but want to address him like that," He Xile said. "On the Blue Planet, people usually show great respect to those they respect, and sometimes age has nothing to do with it."
"snort."
Wen Jiyu said slowly, "...not that great either."
The other party said so, but He Xile keenly noticed that Wen Ji and His Majesty, who turned their heads, had their ears a little red and their gazes shifted to the side.
He looked as if he was embarrassed to look at He Xile again.
He Xile was very surprised.
——I didn’t expect that Your Majesty would be shy.
Soon, the hovercraft stopped at the door of the laboratory.
He Xile had been in school all day today and had already made an appointment to meet with the teachers in the laboratory in the evening. He jumped off the hovercraft, said goodbye to His Majesty, and hurried to the laboratory.
The two little black cats had been waiting for a long time. When they saw He Xile, they immediately rushed forward and asked with eager eyes, "Is school fun, meow?"
"I missed you, meow meow meow."
He Xile: "It's fun."
He told her what happened at school today, and while stroking the cat's head, he said, "When you grow up a little bit, you will also go to school. Then we can become alumni."
"Wow."
"Can we...can we really?"
"Of course."
He Xile said, "In Haixinna, primary school is compulsory education, so you can definitely go."
The brother and sister looked at each other and were both very happy. Even the shy sister couldn't help but walk to He Xile and rub her head against him.
As the little black cat rubbed, its eyes became slightly moist.
The dark days when I was hungry and was beaten by my parents every day as a vent for my anger, all disappeared after I met His Majesty He Xile. Instead, I now have a very spacious and comfortable room where I feel safe; there is endless delicious food; there is love and care from countless people, and a promising future.
Even their mental disorders were cured because of your presence.
They may be miserable in the first half of their lives, but they will definitely be very happy in the second half.
That's great.

In the evening, He Xile had just returned to his room and had not had time to change his clothes when he saw a tentacle lying limply on his carpet, as if it had been waiting for a long time.
Although the tentacles had no faces and could not have any expressions, He Xile could still feel that they seemed a little aggrieved, as if accusing He Xile: Why did you come back just now?
For some reason, a stone tablet appeared in He Xile's mind, and on the tablet were three large characters engraved - Waiting Husband Stone.
…What a mess this is.
He Xile was a little amused and helpless.
Looking more closely, he saw the mark he had made on the tentacle: "Ah, it's the boss who's here today."
Yes.
Because the giant octopus had too many tentacles, eight in total, and except for one that was relatively thin and didn't even have a sucker, He Xile couldn't distinguish the other seven at all.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future, He Xile simply marked the eight tentacles separately to distinguish them.
For example, this one is the eldest one, the tentacle that won He Xile’s first mark and has a very good personality.
Hearing He Xile's words, the tentacle tip moved up and down. Just as it was about to come over to rub He Xile, it heard the human in front of it say in a vigilant tone: "Wait, did you take a shower before coming here?"
tentacle:"……"
The tentacle mistakenly thought He Xile thought he was dirty, and immediately became unhappy, but he couldn't just let go and leave. He could only nod weakly, and then heard He Xile say: "You can't hug me now. I haven't showered yet. Let's talk after I get out of the shower. Be good."
He Xile reached out and rubbed the tentacles.
Then he went to take a shower humming a little tune.
It turns out that you don't dislike him.
The tentacle's mood immediately improved.
It's so easy to coax.
It was not until about ten o'clock that He Xile and Chushou finally lay down on the bed and prepared to sleep.
He Xile found a comfortable position and fell asleep.
In a dream.
He discovered that he was conscious.
The surroundings were in chaos and filled with swirling smoke, and the whole person felt like being in a fairyland.
There was only a long road in front of me, similar to a country road, with tall trees on both sides. When the wind blew, the leaves rustled.
He Xile walked along the road, as if he could not see the end, but the next second, the trees disappeared, and the scene in front of him suddenly became clear, and a stone tablet appeared not far away.
There are three words "Wangfu Stone" engraved on it.
He Xile was a little embarrassed.
hateful.
It’s all because of all the random thoughts during the day that I have these weird dreams at night.
He Xile was staring at the stone tablet when he suddenly felt something and turned around to look.
I saw a figure appear not far away.
Who is it?
His Majesty?
An imaginary giant octopus?
He Xile was curious.
The figure gradually approached.
He was stunned and said in surprise: "Strange, why did I dream of a bird man?"

Birdman:?
