31. Are you male or female?

"Okay...... You really have to take care of it......"

Zhou Yu smiled, and when he walked into the second door, Mo Ye, who had been hiding there and looked lonely, suddenly pricked up his ears, then turned around and pounced on Zhou Yu, first stepping on his knees, and then jumping up, with two little paws lying on Zhou Yu's shoulders.

Zhou Yu lifted its buttocks, then frowned: "You look a lot fatter, Mo Ye." It seems that you have to exercise more, otherwise you will get obesity! ”

"Huh?" Mo Ye tilted his head, as if he didn't understand what Zhou Yu meant by "obesity".

When Zhou Yu walked in the base with Mo Ye in one hand, everyone who passed by was startled and looked at Zhou Yu with surprised eyes.

"No, I heard that Mr. Song really asked him to raise that night spirit!"

"Eidolon isn't an E-class or a D-class creature! It's A-grade! ”

"It's ridiculous! What if this night spirit grows up and hurts us? ”

Mo Ye seemed to understand what they were saying, and buried his head in Zhou Yu's chest in frustration.

Zhou Yu continued to walk forward as if he hadn't heard anything, until he saw Wu Yun at the door of the restaurant.

"Hey, Zhou Yu, let's have a beer together. Mr. Song gave our group a three-day long vacation. You can not get drunk today. ”

"Isn't there a shortage of supplies? How many cans of beer can one person have? ”

Wu Yun stretched out a finger: "One can for one person." ”

"And you still want to get drunk?" Zhou Yu smiled.

He walked into the restaurant and found that Li Qian's kid was also there.

"Zhou Yu! Great, after hearing about you, I'm worried about you! Li Qian's gaze fell on Mo Ye's body, and he immediately stretched out his arm towards it, "Oops! Dot! Aren't you locked up in a glass room by that science madman Carlos? It's finally time to be free, and it's worth celebrating! ”

"Hmm!" Mo Ye narrowed his eyes, as if he was very proud. It was still very familiar with Li Qian, and the most important thing was that Li Qian's attitude towards it was completely different from those people he met in the passage. The sense of the ink night is keen.

Li Qian bumped Zhou Yu with his elbow: "Hey, let me hug it!" ”

"It's not a pet, you have to ask Mo Ye if he would like to give you a hug." Wu Yun teased.

Li Qian smiled at Mo Ye: "Mo Ye! Zhou Yu has named you! That's a good sound! Can I let my uncle hug me? ”

Wu Yun laughed even harder: "How can you be like coaxing an ignorant baby!" Ink Night is an A-rank creature! ”

Since Zhou Yu entered the restaurant with Mo Ye, there was no one in the restaurant except for a few of them.

Probably sensing that Li Qian had no ill will towards him, Mo Ye stretched out his left paw and placed it on Li Qian's hand, as if to say, "I allow you, a stupid human being, to hug me." ”

Li Qian hugged Mo Ye over and touched the fluff on its back: "Oops, it's so comfortable!" I want to keep touching it. ”

In the base, everyone eats in a ration.

There were some vegetables on the plate, a steak, some with rice, some with pasta.

Zhou Yu's taste is more traditional, and the rice on the plate is served.

The three of them chatted while eating. Wu Yun and Li Qian sang and harmonized, Li Qian said what kind of bull breaking system he had developed in the base, and then Wu Yun immediately sarcastically said that it was useless.

Mo Ye squatted on the table and watched them eat.

Zhou Yu used chopsticks, he picked up the cut steak and put it in his mouth with rice, while Mo Ye stretched his neck and looked at Zhou Yu's hand holding chopsticks very carefully.

"You're hungry too?" Zhou Yu stretched out his finger and tapped Mo Ye's nose.

Mo Ye snorted, brushed Zhou Yu's fingers away with his little paws, and reached over to grab his chopsticks.

Wu Yun on the other side was amused: "Mo Ye is good!" I've progressed to learning to eat with chopsticks! ”

Mo Ye tilted his head, its claws were not as flexible as human fingers, and although it grabbed it, it couldn't pick up the food.

Seeing that it was working hard, Zhou Yu reached out and touched the small wings on its back.

He knew why it took the chopsticks, not for freshness and fun, but because it wanted to become like him, to live in the way of Zhou Yu.

Mo Ye simply turned his chopsticks sideways, picked up a piece of beef, carefully stretched out his front paws, and sent it to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu opened his mouth and ate the beef.

Li Qian hugged Mo Ye and shook it: "You are so cute!" What to do! I'd love to have a Eidolon too! ”

"By the way, what about Zhou Qing? Did you see him? Zhou Yu asked.

"Zhou Qing seems to be doing research recently, eating and working in the research room...... You can rest assured that Dr. Daniel will be going to check him up every day. His physical condition...... It's the thing in his head, it doesn't seem to have grown......"

"That's good." Zhou Yu exhaled.

After dinner, Zhou Yu and Wu Yun went to the public bathroom to shower. The two of them are one in one room, and Wu Yun hummed something on the other side, "If you love me, you will kiss me, and if you love me, you will hug me". Zhou Yu suddenly didn't have a shower.

He squatted down and rubbed Mo Ye's head: "Mo Ye, you must be normal when you grow up, and you must not be as nervous as Uncle Wu Yun." ”

"Hmm." Mo Ye nodded.

Wu Yun's voice came from the other side of the cubicle: "I'm singing a children's rhyme!" Every time my daughter sees me, she sings this song to me while being coquettish! ”

Zhou Yu smiled, took off his coat, and revealed his sturdy upper body.

Mo Ye squatted in the corner, his head up, his mouth half open, and he looked very intently, as if he was studying Zhou Yu.

When Zhou Yu's hand was about to pull open his pants, he found Mo Ye staring at his most embarrassing place with a very expectant look.

"Hey, turn around, don't look." Zhou Yu raised his chin.

"Huh?" Mo Ye tilted his head, looking like he didn't understand.

Zhou Yu pulled the corners of his mouth, this little guy is okay, he pretended not to understand?

Zhou Yu pressed his foot on Mo Ye's head: "Don't you understand?" Don't you really understand? Yes...... I never asked Carlos, are you male or female? ”

The biological sex of the Nibelungen seems to be different from the original world.

Zhou Yu didn't know where the interest came from, so he stretched out his hand to Mo Ye: "You are a male, just pat my left hand." Thou art thy mother, pat my right hand. Are you male or female? ”

Mo Ye stretched out his paw and slapped it on Zhou Yu's left hand.

Even Wu Yun next door was very interested: "Hey, is your Moye a little girl or a stinky boy?" ”

"It's a kid." Zhou Yu smiled, "It's okay if it's a kid, you can wash it together." ”

"Ah...... It turned out to be a brat...... How nice it would be if it were a girl......" Wu Yun's voice looked very lost.

"It's a girl, and you can't do anything." Zhou Yu turned on the water and poured it down from the top of his head.

"I'm not going to do anything. But you can buy her a dress to wear, and you can also tie her braids! ”

"You're talking about your daughter, right?" Zhou Yu said funny.

He lifted his hand and pulled the wet strands of hair back to his head.

Mo Ye squatted in the corner and looked at Zhou Yu motionlessly. The contours of his shoulders, the lines of his legs, are full of tension and restraint.

Mo Ye's head slowly turned to the side, as if admiring something extremely moving, and focused...... There is a faint greed.

Zhou Yu took some bath gel, suddenly thought of something, and looked at Mo Ye: "Hey, you little thing hasn't been clean since it was born, right?" ”

"Huh?" Mo Ye took a small step back to the position of the door of the compartment, but unfortunately he was carried by Zhou Yuyi before he could exit.

"I'll give you a good wash!"

After saying that, he sent Mo Ye directly under the water flow, and Mo Ye coughed several times.

As soon as Mo Ye coughed, its little wings would also open, and the water splashed, causing Zhou Yu to laugh.

"I'll get you some shower gel!"

Moye struggled, not knowing what it was.

"So we'll have the same taste."

Probably this sentence struck Mo Ye's heart, it obediently didn't move, Zhou Yu smeared the bath liquid on its body, especially the fluff on its back, Mo Ye was almost surrounded by bubbles.

Zhou Yu's hand slipped and almost threw it down, Mo Ye hugged Zhou Yu's neck, looked at Zhou Yu with round eyes, and seemed to say: How can you slip your hands!

Zhou Yu simply didn't hold it anymore, and stood directly under the water, and the two of them rushed together.

Mo Ye grabbed Zhou Yu's shoulder, rubbing Zhou Yu's chin with its head from time to time.

After turning off the water, Zhou Yu wrapped Mo Ye in a bath towel and wiped it, and Mo Ye showed his little head and looked curiously at Yi Qiē in the bathroom.

Wu Yun walked over with a bath towel and pestled Mo Ye's head: "Mo Ye, I heard my uncle tell you, this place is called a bathroom." What is a bathroom for? It's the place where you wash off the dirt on your body. As for you, come and bathe regularly. Zhou Yu likes to touch the small fluff on your back the most, if you don't take a bath, your little fluff will grow fleas. They will jump on Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu will be very itchy and itchy, and he will have to shave you and his hair. ”

Zhou Yu was helpless: "What are you talking nonsense again?" ”

"I don't." Wu Yun said solemnly, "Mo Ye, are you very similar to a bald night spirit?" ”

"Huh?" Mo Ye looked at Wu Yun very nervously, as if his hair was really gone.

"Hey, you've got enough!" Zhou Yuyi picked up Mo Ye and left the bathroom.

There will still be people passing by who look at Mo Ye and talk about them.

Zhou Yu still calmly pretended not to see it.

When they came to the door of the room, Wu Yun suddenly said, "Hey, Zhou Yu......"

"What's wrong?" Zhou Yu opened the door, but did not enter.

"I heard...... Elpis has passed on all of its memories to you, so is there any cure for lupus erythematosus in these memories? "Wu Yun knows that he is stupid, and Elpis may not even know what lupus erythematosus is.

"I had a dream. That dream was long. ”

"What kind of dream?"

"I dreamed that you were back at home, your daughter was growing up day by day, and you were getting older day by day. She went to a good university, got a good job, and met a like-minded man who would take care of her. Then they get married, and at the wedding you take your daughter's hand and give her to the man. A year later, you have your first grandchild. Ten years from now, you'll have a house full of children and grandchildren. We are all old, and we no longer go to dangerous places to perform any tasks, and even Juli Group no longer exists. ”

"Isn't that boring?" Wu Yun said funny.

"It's boring. We were like other bad old men, making tea and playing chess on the balcony. Go out fishing once in a while. By the way, you're also obsessed with square dancing, because there's a very beautiful old lady who chases people. ”

"What the hell...... Wu Yun smashed Zhou Yu's shoulder, his eyes were a little red, "Hey...... Thank you. ”

"No thanks." That's all he can give him.

Wu Yun walked away, and Zhou Yu threw Mo Ye on the bed.

It was the first time Mo Ye had seen such a thing as a "bed", it rolled over, then tilted its head, and rolled a few more times until it rolled onto Zhou Yu's pillow.

Zhou Yu reluctantly brought it back, and suddenly thought: "When you grow up, I don't have no place to raise you?" Or I'd better throw you out. ”

Mo Ye got angry and made a gesture to bite Zhou Yu's finger, but Zhou Yu avoided it.

"It's stupid. If you really look like me, I'll lie on your belly, it's warm, and it saves space. ”

Zhou Yu was already tired, put a pillow on his head, pulled Mo Ye over and hugged him in his arms, he was really sleepy.

Accepting Elpis's memories consumed almost all of Zhou Yu's energy, and he didn't rest enough at all. Now that Song Zhi has given him three days off, he wonders if he has slept all of them.

Mo Ye was not sleepy, it arched its body, and Zhou Yu's arm pressing on it slid to the side.

It touched Zhou Yu's arm with its nose, but Zhou Yu did not react.

A few minutes later, the sound of Zhou Yu's steady breathing was heard.

Mo Ye adjusted his posture and lay on his side like Zhou Yu, leaning towards Zhou Yu's head.

It stretched out the tip of its small tongue and licked it on Zhou Yu's lower lip for a short time, then quickly withdrew it.

It looked at Zhou Yu nervously, and after finding that Zhou Yu didn't even move his eyebrows, it stretched out its little tongue and licked it on Zhou Yu's lower lip again.

Zhou Yu still didn't react.

Mo Ye seemed to be having a good time, and stuck out his tongue again, but before he could lick Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu's palm suddenly pressed down, pressed Mo Ye's head hard, and rubbed it vigorously: "You bad boy, if you don't sleep again, I will really shave all the fluff off your back." ”

According to Elpis's memory, the fluff on the back of the male Eidolon was used to attract mates and was part of its male symbolism. Zhou Yu didn't believe that he threatened to shave off all its fluff, and it could not be well-behaved.

"Hmm......" Mo Ye made a pitiful voice, turned around, and obediently nestled into the quilt.

Zhou Yu smiled with satisfaction.

At this time, in Zhou Qing's research room, all the research assistants had to go back.

"Professor Zhou, it's too late, you've been working for more than ten hours straight, go back and rest."

"Ah, okay. I'll take a look at the information again and rest. Zhou Qing smiled and nodded.

When everyone was gone, and he was left alone, he took out the fruit of Elpis, which he had kept for a long time.

The fruit has a thick coat that is soft to the touch but cannot be peeled off.

Zhou Qing could detect signs of life inside the fruit, but he couldn't make it germinate using many methods.

Neither the soil nor the nutrient-rich water of the Nibelungen was harvested, but it did not react, as if it was trapped in the placenta.

Zhou Qing was worried that if it didn't germinate again, the seed would die.

After recording the measurements, Zhou Qing walked out of the research room.

He was confronted by Dr. Daniel.

"Professor Zhou, are you going back so late? This is not good for your health, and sufficient water surface can ensure your ability to think. ”

Daniel also looked tired.

"What about you, Dr. Daniel? You didn't leave your post so late. How is Zhao Xiaoping? ”

When it comes to Zhao Xiaoping, Zhou Qing is guilty. Before Zhao Xiaoping left the base, Zhou Qing had asked him if he could help him get some soil from Elpis. I don't know if it's because of this that Zhao Xiaoping had an accident and is now unconscious.

"It's still the same. Fortunately, Song Zhi really wants to know how he feels about being controlled by Elpis Ez, otherwise I am worried that Juli Group will directly ...... in order to save expenses."

"It shouldn't be. Although there are many talents here, cultivating a capable and experienced research institute like Zhao Xiaoping is not only something that money can do. I'd like to see him, okay? ”

"Yes, but after seeing him, you're going to go to sleep."

"Of course." Zhou Qing nodded in promise.

Zhou Qing came to Zhao Xiaoping's ward, he was injecting nutrient solution, and there were various instruments to test brain activity on his head, the expression on his face was very calm, there was no pain or happiness, and there was no thinking.

One of Dr. Daniel's patients seemed to be in danger, and he hurried over. Only Zhou Qing and Zhao Xiaoping were left in the ward.

Zhou Qing sat down on the side of the bed, he took a breath, and stretched out his hand to cover Zhao Xiaoping's forehead, as if to confirm whether he still had any temperature.

But Zhou Qing didn't expect that Zhao Xiaoping, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed Zhou Qing's wrist.

"Have you treated my child well?"

Zhou Qing gasped, holding back and almost didn't call out.

Zhao Xiaoping obviously spoke, but the instrument that measures brain activity did not respond at all, so he ...... It's not like Zhao Xiaoping is talking?

"What do you mean...... The fruit of Elpis? ”

"Yes, I mean my fruit." Zhao Xiaoping turned his face sideways and looked at Zhou Qing.

"You...... Is it Elpis? Zhou Qing asked.

"I am."

"You...... Aren't you dead? ”

"This is what you humans think of as the form of life. If you want this fruit to germinate, you must use the purest water. ”

"The purest water ......" Zhou Qing suddenly thought of the liquid sample extracted by the Alpha Team from the center of the withered Elpis .

"Looks like you've got it."

After speaking, the instrument that monitored Zhao Xiaoping's brain activity rang.

The doctors rushed over and saw Zhao Xiaoping sitting up.

"Zhao Xiaoping, are you awake?"

Zhao Xiaoping looked ignorant, as if he didn't know what was going on.

Zhou Qing slowly got up and retreated outside the medical staff.

In the end, is the current Zhao Xiaoping Zhao Xiaoping himself, or Elpis?

But for Zhou Qing, the question he had been pursuing finally had an answer.

Zhou Yu slept very deeply, and when he woke up, it was already noon.

Mo Ye was lying in his arms, looking very well-behaved.

Zhou Yu touched the fluff on its back, and it felt better after washing the bath gel. No wonder the night spirits use the fluff on their backs to tease their sisters, it is indeed an artifact!

Zhou Yu got up, washed up and walked to the restaurant. He didn't hold Mo Ye anymore, but let it follow behind him with its little paws.

The people passing by still cast vigilant glances, and Zhou Yu didn't care.

Someone even said, "Hey, are you optimistic about your pet?" ”

Zhou Yu held his pocket and raised his chin: "Which eye do you see that it is my pet?" ”

"You ......" The other party probably thought that Zhou Yu was too dragged, and as soon as he raised his fist, he was dragged by the person next to him.

"Don't fight him...... This guy is a monster that can't die. ”

Zhou Yu fell into the angel horn for the first time, and the base thought he was dead, but he returned.

Captured by Elpis for the second time, the base thought he was dead, but he came back to life.

No one is as fatal as he is.

"Tsk...... That's right, the big monster raises the little monster. ”

Zhou Yu came to the restaurant indifferently, he came late, there was no one in the restaurant, only Wu Yun, who was also on vacation, crossed his legs and looked up at TV.

The content of TV is really inappropriate for children.

Zhou Yu knocked on the table: "Hey, who chose this?" ”

"I chose it. The content is rich and enriches the horizon. Wu Yun looked at it very attentively.

"Will Juli Group still provide such a film for the people in the base as a pastime?"

Zhou Yu didn't see it, and the sound of those graces was like wind in his ears. He lowered his head and ate his lunch.

Today it was a potato stew and it tasted pretty good.

"What are you kidding, no matter what world you are in, we normal humans have everything we need in this regard, okay? And there are almost no women in the base. Now that I think about it, Han Li's figure is also good. ”

The picture shook even more exaggeratedly, if Li Qian was here, his ears would definitely be red.

Zhou Yu has always been relatively cold in that regard, probably because he is more self-disciplined.

He took a bite of food, and as soon as he looked up again, he saw Mo Ye tilting his head up, looking in the same direction as Wu Yun, his eyes wide open, as if a new world had opened up in front of him.
