Chapter 3: Breakfast and Zuo Ling
The next day, it was sunny, and the morning at the White Rabbit Apartment was still calm. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The interior of the old apartment is well-maintained, and the split-level residential design allows the living room, bedroom, kitchen, dining room, and bathroom to be on different heights, and the interior space looks spacious and bright, still and dynamic, full of layering.
Sunlight softly streamed in through the open white shutters, illuminating the two figures.
Qin Xin wore a brown and red plaid apron and was busy on the marble counter in the open kitchen. The sleeve was rolled up to the elbow, and the palm of the hand was washed twice with lime soap at someone's request, and it appeared a little fairer than usual, and it gave off a faint fragrance.
He had a light-hearted expression, as if the strange accident that had happened last night was just a hallucination.
In fact, the alien visitor in his mind, Butterfly, is constantly explaining to him the strange technique called the "Symbiosis Ritual".
After an orderly meal, Qin Xin served two Tessie-style breakfasts to the table.
A vegetarian ham, tomato, and apple sandwich, browned omelette, and a glass of warm milk.
Against the backdrop of milky white porcelain plates, the colorful breakfast looks appetizing.
The maker also thoughtfully placed a hot towel for wiping hands next to the plate, showing the sincerity.
Qin Xin smiled and said, "Please use it." ”
The beautiful man sitting at the dining table with a plaid scarf picked up the glass and took a sip of milk, his soft but gloomy face with disgust: "In order to fill the stomach to achieve such a degree of groveling, is there no concept of morality in the society of monkeys?" ”
Qin Xin took off his apron and put it aside: "Despite the cynicism, my Royal Highness Princess, it is my responsibility to tolerate you." As he spoke, he leaned over with his hands on his chest and made a nondescript knightly salute, a gloating smile on his lips.
"You sober up, if it weren't for the 'Symbiosis Rite' and Your Excellency Butterfly, how could I treat you with such an attitude? Is it meaningful to keep provoking me to expose our bad relationship in front of His Excellency? Qin Xin stared at Zuo Ling's eyes.
Zuo Ling's hand holding the glass gradually tightened, highlighting the white bone joints.
"Although the winter solstice is approaching, the temperature is not too low, and your scarf is too thick, Your Royal Highness, Princess, is too thick. Also, according to what I learned in the Forestry Department, a warm and closed environment will not cause the Adam's apple to grow back.
By the way, Your Royal Highness Princess, you better change into a loose blouse, which is not good for the growth of your breasts. ”
The fair-skinned right hand clenched and released fiercely, and finally gently put down the glass, Zuo Ling gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up, I will restrain myself in the future, and so will you." ”
"Cut, are you only realizing your situation now?" Qin Xin raised his eyebrows, and the reflection of his sharp teeth flashed between his lips.
"Unlike you, an amoeba that constantly changes its appearance to adapt to its environment, in my dictionary, as a higher creature, there is never the word 'submissive'." Zuo Ling tightened his fair and slender neck and tilted his head defiantly.
Qin Xin, who was reprimanded as an amoeba, smiled: "Then I suggest you go and buy another dictionary." Isn't it hard enough to hear that you destroyed some important parts too thoroughly when you self-harmed to stop Lord Butterfly's invasion, so that Lord Butterfly had to transform your female body when she launched the 'Resurrection Ritual'? How many walls do you have to break through before you turn back, poor worm? ”
Zuo Ling sneered: "What about the Butterfly in your mouth, what about you, who is a servant who can only survive by relying on my feeding, is that thing a reward for the obedient." ”
Qin Xin's face remained unchanged: "There is no distinction between you and me, who are bound by the 'Symbiosis Rite' together, if I do not complete the ritual of offering food and water to you, or if you refuse to pay me as a servant, you and I will starve to death."
By now, your good mind should know what the right judgment is. ”
After speaking, he picked up the plate containing breakfast, lowered his eyebrows and sent it to Zuo Ling: "Honorable and glorious one, please enjoy my offering." ”
"Cut." Zuo Ling pursed his lips and pointed to another breakfast, "That's the gift given to you, the hardworking and pious subordinate." ”
The cyan glow that only the two of them could see flickered on the plate, and according to the message left by the butterfly last night, this strange ritual from another civilization had been declared complete.
The other party has no use value for the time being, and the two people who started to enjoy the sandwich didn't even bother to raise their heads.
The breakfast, where no one spoke, took about ten minutes.
Qin Xin picked up the black sword bag and put it behind his back, picked up the schoolbag with his other hand and stood up from the dining table: "Let's go." ”
Zuo Ling sat still with his arms crossed: "Going to class with monkeys will be ridiculed for my choice of pet taste, so I refuse." ”
Qin Xin lowered his voice: "You should also have some understanding of the dark side of the imperial scientific community, especially those unscrupulous folk researchers, now you are excellent material for them, if you ......"
Zuo Ling interrupted with disdain: "A layman who knows nothing wants to intimidate me with a thriller story about a mad scientist? 700 years since the constitution of the empire, in the modern ...... of the strict legal system"
"Zaire small-clawed otter, guinea pig broad-toothed, white-snouted dolphin, three-lined-necked possum ...... Excuse me, in the modern era of strict legal system, how do you obtain these rare and protected animals as dissection materials? Did you buy it at a convenience store around the corner? ”
Zuo Ling's face suddenly sank.
Qin Xin looked at his furrowed slender eyebrows happily, his eyes full of pride.
"How could you ......"
"Oh? Do you want to ask me how to distinguish the material garbage that you have devastated with features? How can a stupid monkey with a well-developed motor nerve do something that even a professional scholar can do, and your excellent mind is thinking about it.
Let me tell you, it's the quality of the meat and the taste.
In hundreds of independent field exercises organized by the Department of Forestry, I have eaten almost all the edible species on the Imperial Rare Flora and Fauna Conservation List, and I can determine the species based on the quality and taste of the meat alone.
What's more, the direction of your research is too obvious, and the strict selection of experimental subjects is almost like obsessive-compulsive disorder, if you guess correctly, you should dissect the four butterfly species of the genus Antelope next week.
Tsk, don't show that surprised expression, how can I say that I am also a preparatory forest ranger from Dongming Forestry University, isn't it normal to have this level of knowledge?
In order to make peace with you, I have been pretending to be unaware of your dealings with illegal suppliers for three years. But now you still want to pretend to be a good child, I can't help it. ”
The tall, sunny man happily reveals his roommate's secret in a bad tone that goes against his image.
Zuo Ling said coldly: "Your comfortable expression that has been constipated for many years and finally relieved is really disgusting to the extreme, are you afraid that I will lose my mind and spread the word that I was turned into a woman by a foreign civilization visitor, and then I was caught by the madman of the Imperial Academy of Sciences to be sliced and studied?" If you still want to talk this pointless nonsense and wait until the rest of the apartment wakes up, I will not accompany you. ”
Qin Xin narrowed his eyes: "I'm worried about you, Zuo Ling." After I leave, you'll be eager to run to the underground lab of your apartment and start studying yourself desperately.
Don't argue, there's no point.
As a knight, how can I let the princess be hurt. Unlike the relatively free superiors, the 'Symbiosis Ritual' is very restrictive to the subordinates, isn't it, Lord Butterfly? ”
Die, who had been silently watching the pair of roommates bite each other, replied, "Yes, but taking on strict responsibilities will also pay off handsomely, Qin Xin." Holding the symbiosis ritual consumed a lot of my energy, and I will fall into a deep sleep for a long time in the future, and the responsibility of restraining and protecting Zuo Ling's classmates will be handed over to you. ”
As soon as the words fell, the butterfly's consciousness fluctuations disappeared.
Zuo Ling was silent for a while, and said, "Since your academic literacy is enough to guess the direction of my research, why do you still believe in such a ridiculous thing as 'a contract that cannot be broken once it is made'?" There must be some kind of pattern that we don't know yet, and if we can find it through experimentation, our situation and yours can be improved. ”
"Really? It's a pity that you and I don't have any extra lives to experiment with. Qin Xin's tone suddenly turned cold, "From today until the end of Your Excellency's sleep, you can't leave my line of sight unless you have my consent." Your butterfly ability also has merit in combat, but you should understand how far apart you are from me. ”
Qin Xin said as he plucked out a short inch long hair and nailed it into the solid wood tabletop, his face full of malicious threats.
"Cut, stiff-haired monkey who is afraid of death."
"Call it however you want, change your clothes, and get ready to go to school."
Qin Xin got up and walked to the entrance and pushed open the door, and the golden sunlight poured in, dispelling the slight night chill that was still left in the room.
Anyway, a new day begins.
