Chapter 69: New Planets
The aroma of meat and vegetables is different, but it is also very appealing to young children who have been eating either fruit or milky protein cubes for a long time.
The red sauce wrapped in the meat shimmered attractively in the light, and the tender color of the green vegetables seemed to be able to eat spring in one bite, so fragrant that she couldn't stop drooling.
She's been here for so long, and she hasn't seen any greenery except on the dinner plate in the four rooms, but she wants to try the meat that looks good to look at more than the vegetables she has already tasted.
Whether it's as a child in a fast-growing stage, or based on her past preferences, she does prefer meat.
"Brother, meat!" Seeing that the four of them didn't move, she put her head on the adult's arm and rubbed it softly, raised her little face and smiled at him with bent eyes.
After living with Si Qi for so long, she found that he liked to play with her hair, and her slender fingers took a wisp of ink and wrapped it around her fingertips a few times before letting go.
He also likes to see her smile at him, no matter how serious her face is, when he sees her smiling at him and gently coquettish, although she still has a straight face, her complexion will be softer, and she will always get her wish.
For example, let her sleep in his arms while working; At night he did not go back to his place of sleep and lay in his arms, and at last he fell asleep and sent her back; In the morning she blindfolded her face and asked him to dress her or something.
It's not just him, but also the guards, as long as she is well-behaved, they seem to be more tolerant of her, mainly because they are always tough when talking to others, but even their voices will be softer towards her.
It was all a knee-jerk reaction, and what made it particularly interesting to Imagi was that when they found themselves subconsciously whispering, the uncles' faces would become more serious, but after she obediently said "thank you uncle" or "okay uncle", they would see her softening a little more.
Maybe the faces of the uncles of the guards were made of plasticine, or they wouldn't have changed so much.
The elder brother, as always, responded to the child's request, sandwiched a piece of meat and pounded it with chopsticks, mixed it with rice, and fed it to her.
She ate several bites in a row, still opening her mouth to indicate that she hadn't eaten enough and that she needed more.
Si Yi frowned, and the big hand touched her little belly first, which was bulging like a small leather ball, and when the hand was withdrawn, he pressed his hand against her chin and closed her mouth: "You can't eat anymore, you will hold on." ”
Although I have never raised a child, I think about it and know that it is not good for the child to eat too much.
When she is full, she can take a few more bites, and if she eats like this, she will break her stomach before it grows into a ball.
The toddler saw that he was not fed, licked his lips and did not make a fuss, although he did not feel full, but he was not hungry, so he twisted his body from his seat and climbed down and stood on the ground, watching the news next to him and waiting for him to finish eating.
The news presenter, who she knew very well, was wearing an off-white long-sleeved shirt today, and the joy on her face made all children feel her elation, which was not at all different from the usual ceremonial smile.
She couldn't understand the interstellar lingua franca spoken by the host because it was broadcast on TV, so she could only guess what it meant from the few phrases she could tell, "new discoveries, stars, generals, armies" plus pictures.
It was a blue planet, surrounded by a moon, much like she remembered astronauts looking down on Earth, a little vegetation on the surface of the land covered by white clouds, but very different from Earth—it orbited a pair of stars.
Binary star systems don't seem to be common in this universe, two twin stars with similar mass revolve around a common center of mass, and as far as Yi Yue knows, her Es belongs to the Galactic Federation, and she has seen five habitable planets under the Federation, four of which are planets located in the binary star system.
In fact, just listening to the pronunciation of the name of this country is Miao Ke, Yi Yue felt that the transliteration of Miao Ke Federation was not good, so she changed it to the Galactic Federation in her heart, which gave her a lot of sense of belonging.
In this world, there are only a few celestial systems that orbit with a single star like the solar system, and even fewer planets that have life and are suitable for human habitation.
The host was very happy that the Federation had discovered a new colonizable planet, first giving an overview of the new planet, followed by an interview with the citizens of the Federation, both men and women, young and old, with smiles on their faces.
Even if she didn't understand them, Izuki knew that they should be imagining the beauty of a new planet or praising the military research institute or something.
The cafeteria, which had been noisy, suddenly fell silent when the news was broadcast on TV.
Unlike the jubilant group on television, the atmosphere in the cafeteria had suddenly fallen silent since the news came out, so silent that the toddlers felt very dull, until a man two tables away from them spoke up.
It was a rough male voice, and the deep voice was soaked in mockery and cruelty: "The maggot man who said, 'It's cheaper to send all the people of Ers' to the new planet,' and when I go out, he will crush his brains into mud and throw them into the stinky ditch." ”
Like a drop of cold water splashed into a hot oil pot without waves on the surface, the harmonious atmosphere on the surface exploded instantly, and fancy loud curses came from the ears, violent hormones exploded unprecedentedly, and the dishes and chopsticks were smashed and each other shouted and fought into a mess.
After being disturbed by foreign objects, a pool of clear water instantly became turbid.
The cafeteria robot began to warn the agitated crowd, and in the middle of speaking, it was kicked away by a foot sticking out of nowhere, and the rest of the electric sound streaked through the air.
The four of them got up instantly when the chaos began, and strode out of the cafeteria with the toddler in their arms, away from the chaos.
"Brother, there are new stars." The toddler still stared at the TV until it shrunk to the size of a palm, and then finally glanced at the messy cafeteria.
She had a preconceived notion that the discovery of a new planet should be a joyful thing, but the way they expressed their excitement was very different.
It looks more like anger from panic.
On the way back, many guards could be seen walking in the direction of the cafeteria, and small drones flying in the sky were also broadcasting messages to send everyone back to their rooms.
Crowd agitation can easily cause unrest, causing many casualties, and it is something that needs to be dealt with quickly in any world.
However, this turmoil should be put down soon, not to mention that the guards can use weapons, and it is impossible for a group of people to vent their emotions for long.
"Hmm." The fourth man responded, his face was not particularly happy or unhappy, as if he had heard about something that had nothing to do with him, but the expression on his face was more serious.
"My brother is not happy too?" The toddler looked at Si Yu suspiciously.
She was a little incomprehensible, and when she thought about it, it was a joy to find that habitable planets had increased in terms of resources and living environment.
Their reaction made her a little unshady.
