Dawn arrives with a gentle breeze.
The thin white gauze curtains fluttered slightly, and the morning light belonging to Shackelford playfully penetrated through the changing gaps, bringing a hint of light of varying brightness to the quiet room.
At six o'clock in the morning, the precise biological clock begins to take effect.
Selina slowly opened her eyes, yawned lazily, and reached to the side out of habit.
There was no one there.
But her keen sense of touch could still detect a little residual temperature, proving that there was someone lying there half an hour ago.
This discovery made her yawn even wider - there was no chance that someone would laugh at it and call it a crocodile kiss.
Selina rubbed her cheeks and felt a little sour.
Well, it's definitely psychological.
With her current physical condition and the powerful effect of her evolutionary ability, even if she was stabbed and then slept for a while, she would not be left with any injuries, let alone muscle fatigue.
With this in mind, Selina squinted her eyes and walked into the bathroom like a sleepwalker. She first took out the electric toothbrush that she had asked Luke to order for her and put it in her mouth.
Feeling the vibrating toothbrush in her mouth creating rich, refreshing minty foam from the toothpaste, she walked to the shower, turned on the faucet, and let the hot water pour over her head.
The slightly higher water temperature gradually awakened her body from its slumber. Selina's squinting eyes finally opened completely, and she regained her energetic state.
After squeezing out a lot of shower gel, she looked at the white, greasy, semi-liquid mass in her palm and couldn't help but think of something. She uttered a sound of disgust, and then couldn't help but complain: "Could that shower gel bottle have become a spirit?"
Thinking of this, Selina couldn't help but burst into laughter. She pressed the bottle of shower gel a few more times and muttered angrily, "Squeeze it clean, squeeze it clean, squeeze it all clean."
…
Twenty minutes ago, Luke finished taking a shower in the bathroom on the ground floor of the farm villa. The weak shock wave ability swept across his body, shaking away all the water droplets.
He tapped the necklace-like nano device on his neck, and the nano inner armor activated, quickly covering his body, turning into a white vest and sports trousers.
Walking into the kitchen, he started making today's breakfast.
Jin Nugget slowly paused the pornographic drama on his phone, got up from the rocking chair on the porch, lazily pushed open the half-open door, and walked to the kitchen door.
Without even turning his head, Luke threw the tuna burger he had prepared over.
The hamburger showed no signs of separation in the air and fell steadily into the dog's mouth.
The dog head lay down lazily and began to chew slowly.
Luke finally turned his head and looked at it: "What's wrong, are you still mad at Selina?"
The dog head didn't say anything, but just turned its head away a little.
Luke was a little speechless when he saw its small black eyes peeking at him secretly. After a moment, he said patiently: "There's nothing we can do about it. We didn't know you could actually divide and reproduce."
Doghead remained silent, maintaining that aggrieved expression.
Luke was both angry and amused. He put down the food in his hand, walked up to the dog, and rubbed its head angrily: "Okay, from now on I will increase your energy supply by 50% every day. Deal?"
The dog's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his paw and high-fived his hand as an oath.
Luke calmed the dog's head, washed his hands again and started cooking, occasionally throwing some quick-cooked meals to the dog to satisfy its hunger.
Nugget and Selena's problems came the night after the big fight.
During Selina's awakening, it absorbed too much evolutionary energy and could not control itself and entered into self-splitting.
In a symbiote, this is reproduction, commonly known as... giving birth to a child.
Why are the symbiotes most interested in Life One, self-healing energy, and evolutionary energy? Because it will promote their evolution.
But after evolving to maturity, reproduction by fission becomes a very likely event.
What's more troublesome is that Selina's evolutionary ability is very special.
The "child" split from the dog's head received too much evolutionary energy and was directly "bound" to Selena at birth.
This "child" is a special symbiote that has no self-awareness and has completely become a part of Selina.
But it has most of the characteristics of a symbiont, such as not sharing a symbiotic goal with its own kind.
No matter how close the relationship between Nugget and Selina is, it is still a relatively normal symbiote, so it was "expelled" out of her body and could no longer coexist with her.
This is a huge blow to Doghead.
What’s even more depressing is that this can’t be blamed on Selina, because she was also enjoying the food when she evolved!
It cannot control itself, and Selina's awakening is a low-probability event, and it is equally uncontrollable.
In the end, the ones who took over its territory were its own "children", which is even more unreasonable.
Besides, its real best symbiotic target has always been the US dollar, and the US dollar will always follow Selena.
Strictly speaking, this unexpected "childbirth incident" only deprived Goutou of the right to have two relationships at the same time.
This made it depressed and listless during the long holiday, and it even ran to the porch alone at night to stare blankly.
Because now Selina no longer needs its nightly symbiosis to help absorb evolutionary energy, its "children" have been taking over the duties of this energy converter 24 hours a day.
As for the clanging sound of the second floor floor every night, it has little to do with its current mood.
Now that he had Luke's promise, Nugget's mood suddenly improved.
The 50 is not the point. The point is that the big devil allowed it to coexist, but just changed its second "ship" from Selina to him.
In this family, Luke ≈ Selina, so symbiotic Luke ≈ symbiotic Selina. It is still the closest member of this family.
Luke also felt that 50% was not the point. The point was that half represented incompleteness, while the word 50 sounded like a lot.
Well, this is by no means bullying someone because he is not good at math.
The man and the dog negotiated a result that satisfied both of them. They both calmed down and focused on doing what they were supposed to do—Luke focused on his work and Doghead focused on eating.
In this harmonious and peaceful atmosphere, two figures, one big and one small, ran over from a few hundred meters away.
When they climbed up a small dirt slope, they saw the lights of the villa's kitchen more than a hundred meters away.
The little figure cheered, "Wohoo~ Luke is finally up, Dad, hurry up, I want to go have breakfast."
The big figure showed a helpless look on his face: "Baby, Luke gets up on time at six o'clock every day. This is the "top secret" you told me."
The little girl didn't care about her father's hidden complaints. Her heart had already flown to her brother's dining table.
Luke's breakfast is still the best! She muttered to herself, and then immediately confessed: Sorry, Mom, I'm not saying your breakfast is not delicious, it's just that Luke's is better.
The distance of more than a hundred meters was just a matter of ten seconds for the two of them.
When he ran to the villa, the little guy couldn't wait to come to the kitchen window, pressed his chubby face against the glass, and squeezed out a funny "flat" face: "Luke Luke."
