The Married Beast Marshal of the Stars

Chapter 56

Xiu Ling returned to the room, took out the small ebony box from his pocket, took a deep breath, and opened the box carefully.

The light filled the box little by little as he moved, and a budding narcissus slowly appeared in front of his eyes.

The flowers have been preserved and are crystal clear and fragrant.

Xiu Ling's heart thumped twice in his chest. He shook his hands and peeled off the petals. There was a silver ring lying quietly in the tender yellow stamens.

An ordinary plain circle, old style, without any pattern, looks a bit shabby in such an exquisite box.

Xiu Ling took it out like a treasure, made gestures with his fingers, and unconsciously showed a bright smile on his lips. He lowered his head, planted a kiss on the ring, and then carefully put the ring on his finger, with a serious expression and a pious tone.

The ring seemed to be tailor-made for him, neither loose nor tight. It was embedded on his white finger and shone brightly.

Xiu Ling looked over and over for a long time, then lay on the bed, quietly placed the finger with the ring on the corner of his lips, and fell asleep peacefully.

He got up early the next day, first walked to his brother's door, hesitated for a long time, and knocked on the door tentatively.

The door rang twice, and suddenly it opened from the inside. Xun Sheng stood at the door with Xun Yi in his arms, with a calm look on his face, and whispered: "Is something wrong?" "

..." Xiu Ling asked straightforwardly: "My brother Are you awake?"

"Still sleeping." Xun Sheng's eyes darkened, he walked out of the room with Xun Yi in his arms, closed the door lightly with his hands and feet, and said, "Let him sleep for a while... Can you lend me the kitchen? Do you want to use it?"

Probably because Xun Sheng left such a bad impression on the Xiu family, Xiu Ling couldn't help but be startled when she heard such a polite question from him.

He picked his ears and said, "What?"

"Let me borrow the kitchen." After Xun Sheng finished speaking, he didn't seem to want to wait for Xiu Ling's reply, and strode downstairs.

Xiu Ling followed him, feeling deeply that what he began to hear was an hallucination. The man named Xun had no intention of discussing with him at all. He was still as overbearing and going his own way as before.

Xun Sheng put down his son, found the kitchen accurately, and closed the door with a clear sound. Half an hour later, he came out with a solemn expression, looked down at the time, pulled on one side of his coat, and said to Xiu Ling: "I'll wake you up at half past eight, brother. He's not in good health during this period." ...It's not very good. I often feel nauseous after getting up. I cooked light rice porridge. When I woke up, you persuaded him to drink some. I've already made breakfast. In the kitchen, you and Xiaoyi can go first. Eat."

"If you have time, go for a walk with him. The time should be controlled within forty minutes. Don't make him too tired. He will take a nap at noon, which will last about an hour. You Set an alarm clock and remember to wake him up. It will be sunny this afternoon. You and Xiaoyi can go out with him and I will let Lu Qin protect you." "

Xiaoyi--" Xun Sheng said to his son . wave?.

Xun Yi knew that his father was about to go out, so he ran over with the unicorn in his arms, kissed Xun Sheng on the cheek, and said obediently as usual: "Father, please come back earlier." "

Yes." Xun Sheng touched it. His head said: "You are an alpha. When father is away, you have to learn to protect him, you know?" "

I know." Xun Yi whispered in a low voice: "You have said it many times."

Xun Yi Sheng Xiang smiled, bent down and kissed the top of his son's hair, fastened the buttons neatly, and walked out.

Xun Yi watched eagerly as he boarded the aircraft. When the aircraft flew far away, he stood up with Zai Gui in his arms, touched his belly, and said, "Uncle, let's go have a meal.

" I can't understand Xun Sheng more and more. But this is not surprising. This is how the upper class of the empire evaluated Xun Sheng. The people in the city were so deep that even some old politicians who had been in office for many years sometimes couldn't figure out what Xun Sheng wanted to do.

"Uncle?" Xun Yi directed the unicorn to grab Xiu Ling's trouser leg and drag it to the kitchen, making a pitiful look: "I'm hungry.

" Come back to God.

"Okay. Go, let's eat." He shook his head and led Xun Yi to the dining room.

He went to his brother's room on time at half past eight. Xiu Cheng had been awake for a while, leaning on the bedside, and was following an online course to learn the language of the Pardo Galaxy.

When he heard the noise, he raised his head and saw that it was his younger brother. He lowered his head again and quickly memorized a few words before closing the terminal.

"Brother, there's porridge simmering in the kitchen. Would you like to go downstairs for a drink?"

Xiu Cheng stood up, without avoiding suspicion, and naturally took off his pajamas in front of his younger brother, took out a set of casual clothes and put them on.

He is about four months pregnant. Except for a little bulge in his abdomen, his limbs are still slender, probably because he has been in poor health. Xiucheng's skin is unhealthy and pale. When he bends slightly, his two butterfly bones are very prominent. .

Above the butterfly bone, close to the neck, there is a trace of red. Xiu Ling and Gu Yin had been hanging out together for many days, and of course he knew what those traces meant. He averted his eyes and pretended not to see it, scolding Xun Sheng in his heart.

Even with Xun Yi, he could make such a mark. Without Xun Yi, he wouldn't have been able to do it to what extent - he was simply worse than a beast.

Xiu Ling gritted his teeth.

Xiucheng was indifferent. He went downstairs and brought the porridge. He barely drank half the bowl and commented: "This porridge looks like it was made by the Xun family's aunt.

" Pulling it out from the stack of books, he said without saying anything: "This is what father endured!"

Xiu Ling: "..."

Xiu Cheng slowly put down the spoon, raised his hand and tapped his son's head with his fingers. : "Read your book."

"Oh." The child responded and ran away with the book in his arms. The unicorn followed him, jumped up, and got into his arms.

It has only been a day, and one person and one beast are already inseparable. Xun Yi was lying on the carpet reading a book. After returning home early, he squatted on the other side of the book and very cleverly used his paws to help Xun Yi turn the pages.

Xiu Cheng stayed at the third star for five days, probably with his younger brother whom he had loved since childhood. He was in a pretty good mood and would make jokes from time to time. Even though they were all bad jokes, it couldn't stop him from being cheered by a little flatterer like Xun Yi, so his life was quite lively.

Of course, the premise is that you ignore the four wooden bodyguards around you, as well as Lu Qin's cold face that remains motionless.

Xiu Cheng didn't have time to go back. In addition to the two large boxes of third-star specialties that Xiu Ling packed for him, he also bought two boxes of ancient books from a used bookseller.

Xiu Ling felt that the main reason why he was in a good mood was because he bought these books that he had been resenting for a long time.

Xiucheng's life in the Xun family was very monotonous. After waking up every day, he would go to the study to read. He would spend the whole day reading and sometimes have lunch in the study. Therefore, although he has left his scientific research position, his studies have not fallen behind and he publishes several papers every year.

He wrote the paper not to evaluate his professional title, nor to earn royalties, but purely to kill time. Once, the editor-in-chief of a core journal in the empire contacted him and invited him to be a special editor and reviewer. He would only review academic papers without having to work on duty, but he politely declined.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but because the baby in his belly will be born in a few months, he will be more than willing to do so.

Xiu Ling sent his brother to the flight center and watched him bend down to get on the spacecraft, tears streaming down his face for some reason.

He waved his hand vigorously, Xiu Cheng saw it, put his face against the window, and smiled softly at him.

"Brother..." Xiu Ling put a hand on his heart and prayed silently: "I hope you can be happy every day." As soon as

Xiu Cheng left, Gu Zhai became deserted again. Xiu Ling was okay, but he was the most unaccustomed to returning early. He had been carried around by Xun Yi these past few days, and because of his rarity, he stole the show. No matter where he went, people would come up to touch him. Its fur is simply stunning.

But the peak of life is short-lived after all. Zao Gui felt sad for a while, picking up Xiu Ling's trousers and begging to be touched.

Xiu Ling: "..." The book said that unicorns are very noble and arrogant, and are not very friendly to people. The one he raised is just the opposite. It is clingy and loves to join in the fun. Among unicorns, it is probably an outlier. .

Xiu Ling held it on his lap, stroked its fur, and opened the terminal to search for news about Nan Shengxing as usual.

Some time ago, he spent money to open the interstellar network and bought the authorization for the Empire and Nansheng Star portals, so that he could follow the developments of the two countries at any time.

Nanshengxing has not been peaceful recently. The civil war has been going on for more than a month. The network suddenly crashed three days ago, and Xiu Ling no longer knows the situation there.

When I search on websites from other countries, I find that they are all the same "Chelulu" talk, which is not timely and has little reference value. Some media even belatedly broke the news about the civil war in Nansheng Star yesterday.

Nanshengxing is located in a remote place and has been closed to the country for a long time. The domestic situation has always been a mystery. Many interstellar situation analysis experts mentioned that Nan Shengxing shook his head repeatedly, with an expression on his face that he really didn't know what to say.

In the past three days, whenever he had time, he tried to log into Nan Shengxing's national network, but the interface kept showing "Loading". He sent a message to Gu Yin, but it took a long time for the other party to reply, and the sentences were short. It was obvious that he had no time to spare. .

Xiu Ling waited for ten minutes, but the page was still dark, and he became more and more anxious.

It was okay when Xiu Cheng was around and could help him divert his attention, but now he was left alone and couldn't control his random thoughts at all.

He didn't know what role Gu Yin played in this war, whether he would go to the battlefield in person, whether there was any danger, and whether he could come back earlier as he promised himself.

He walked around the room in a panic, but couldn't help but send a message to Gu Yin.

Because he was afraid that Gu Yin would be distracted, he had seldom video-recorded with Gu Yin recently. At most, he only sent a series of texts with very ordinary content, asking him to take care of himself.

Gu Yin replied briefly every time, but the final signature never changed.

——"I love you, baby."

Xiu Ling called up the call history, flipped through the dialog box page by page, raised the corners of his mouth a little bit, but his eyelashes slowly lowered, fluttering up and down, trying to The fog in my eyes was driven away.

The days seemed to become calm and empty all of a sudden. He worked out, read, returned home early, and slept as usual...

Xiu Ling woke up suddenly in the early morning. He subconsciously raised his wrist and glanced at the communicator. Gu Yin There was still no movement there.

The author has something to say:

To make a digression, the world of academic masters is really not something that ordinary people like us can understand. Last time I met a top student. After chatting for a few minutes, he suddenly invited me to do questions with him. He said that their research group has a question-answering competition every day, and his usual way of entertainment is to do questions. So I turned on my phone and showed him my entertainment options - Bilibili, Jinjiang, NetEase Cloud, Onmyoji...

He was shocked: I thought you liked reading books, Proust, Tovtoyevs Ji, Keigo Higashino, Li Yuya, Mei Yaochen, "Poetry", "Sao" and so on (I mentioned a lot, but I forgot about it anyway).

Me: ...

I think I may have gone to a fake school.
