The person on the bed paused, and before he opened his eyes, he put his hands out from his sleeves. No. 1 saw his father stretching on the bed, his lips slowly opened, and his thick eyelashes were wet with a few tears.
The slender fingers fell on the open lips, rubbing the corners of the lips a little red.
After its father let out a long breath, a soft "hum" came from his nose. He finally opened his eyes and looked at the light outside which was one degree brighter.
The sunlight shone in from the window, turning those beautiful eyes into a light amber color.
The person on the bed opened his misty eyes and looked at No. 1 lying on the ground in a daze.
Number 1 has never seen his father just waking up.
There was a faint red mark on one side of his cheek, where the pillow had pressed his overly soft skin when his father was sleeping on his side.
Its tail couldn't help but wag twice for such a soft father.
"Well... good morning." Its father stretched out his hand to greet it. The hand had just been taken out of the quilt and was warm. The white fingertips were also slightly red from the suitable temperature.
The cold and sharp tail subconsciously chased the hand.
The tip of its tail touched the rosy palm, and it was gently held by its father.
But soon, father withdrew his hand.
No. 1 reluctantly retracted its tail, but before it could savor the feeling of being held, a pair of feet appeared in its field of vision.
Father's legs had just been stretched out from the bed, his toes touching the ground, his pajamas sliding down his slender calves and piling up to his ankles.
Just as No. 1 raised his head and tried to look up, a piece of pajamas with body temperature remaining on it was thrown down from the bed and covered No. 1's head. It was filled with the scent of his father, so that although No. 1's vision was disturbed, he did not throw the clothes away immediately.
Its head was supporting its father's clothes, its long tail was bent, and the tip of the tail was adjusting the position of the pajamas on its head. When No. 1 pulled up the collar, it only had time to see a part of its slender waist, and the next second, that waist was covered by the shirt that was changed.
"Sorry, No. 1, I accidentally threw my clothes on your head." Tangning bent down and picked up his pajamas. He sat on the bed and put on his socks. When he got up to wash up, No. 1 also got up from the ground and followed him closely.
When Tangning was brushing his teeth, No. 1 was looking at him. When Tangning was wiping his face, No. 1 was also looking at him. When Tangning turned around to put the towel on the shelf, he found that No. 1 was still looking at him.
Tangning was used to being stared at, so he didn't have any adverse reactions. He just asked No. 1 with some concern, "It seems like you don't have much to do here. What kind of reward do you want?"
Since No. 1 behaved so smartly, Tang Ning believed that No. 1 must have a high IQ. A creature with a high IQ must have its own leisure time. Otherwise, if No. 1 had to listen to his orders every day without any rewards, even the most obedient child would be rebellious.
Tangning reached out and placed her hand on No. 1's forehead to check the reward No. 1 wanted. After a while, Tangning saw the screen that No. 1 had created -
A complete set of clothes that Tangning had worn.
Including underwear.
and socks.
Tangning: “…?”
Tangning asked in shock, "What are you doing?"
In the picture, the entire set of clothes that Tang Ning had worn was being worn by No. 1.
Including underwear.
and socks.
Tangning: “…?”
Tangning explained with some difficulty, "You are much taller than me. My clothes won't fit you."
The scene in Tangning's mind changed again. When Tangning was sleeping on the bed, No. 1 held his clothes in his arms.
Including underwear.
and socks.
Tangning: “… …” Damn, this is really weird.
He tried to get rid of the image in his mind and looked at No. 1 who was looking down at him. Tangning hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why are you wearing my clothes?"
A voice in his head responded: "Father... the taste..."
So it was because the clothes smelled like Tangning
Just like a kitten likes to crawl into its owner's slippers.
After explaining it this way, it seems... still strange!
"Let's change the reward." Tangning refused to give her clothes to No. 1. No. 1's long tail hung down on the ground in disappointment, looking pitiful.
But no matter how pitiful she was, Tang Ning would not give away her clothes, especially her underwear, as a reward!
No. 1 seemed to sense Tang Ning's firm will, so it reluctantly exchanged for another reward.
"You want to make better food?" Tangning heard No. 1's idea and repeated it with some surprise.
No. 1 nodded.
Tang Ning didn't expect that No. 1 was interested in this. This monster looked so scary, but the rewards he liked were all related to food.
However, Tang Ning's cooking skills have been surpassed by No. 1, so he can't teach No. 1 anything at the moment.
But that was not a big deal. The First Research Institute must have chefs with good cooking skills, and those chefs could teach No. 1 on the spot. Just as they hadn't had breakfast yet, Tang Ning led No. 1 to the cafeteria of the First Research Institute.
When he ordered the food, the staff in charge of serving the food gave Tang Ning so many dishes that the table was almost overflowing.
Tang Ning picked a seat with his food tray and sat down. He didn't notice that when he chose his seat, the people around him started eating in a more elegant manner.
Many eyes were intentionally or unintentionally moving towards Dr. Tang.
Dr. Yu Tang’s anonymous chat group became active.
a: "Dr. Tang came to the cafeteria to eat today. Is the hand-pulled pancake that Dr. Tang ordered delicious? I want to get the same one."
y: "Ahhh! It's worth my hard work to come to the First Research Institute! Dr. Tang is so so so so handsome in person!!! His skin is so white, his legs are so long, his facial features are so delicate, I, I feel like I'm in love. Oh my god, is this the kind of appearance a human can have? Incoherentjpg"
w: "Seeing y suddenly reminded me of my ignorant self back then..."
f: "Is that black monster the experimental subject cultivated by Dr. Tang? It actually sat so close to Dr. Tang... I saw that experimental subject secretly hooking Dr. Tang's clothes with its tail!"
c: "What?! This is too much! I haven't even touched the corner of Dr. Tang's clothes!!!"
("c" retracted a message)
C: "This is definitely not what Dr. Tang ordered. Isn't there a risk of this experiment getting out of control?"
h: "It's an anonymous communication group, why are the people above still pretending? I'm going to say it straight, I want to be that tail!"
r: "I heard that No. 1 called Dr. Tang father before. Now seeing Dr. Tang's attitude towards this experimental subject, he seems really nice. His expression has softened a lot... Dr. Tang has never been so nice to anyone. He actually tolerated a monster getting so close to him."
e: "Anonymous groups also have the risk of revealing their identities. If Dr. Tang really wants to investigate, none of the identities in the group can be protected."
Q: "Dr. Tang doesn't pay attention to these things. Previously, a warrior went directly to Dr. Tang to confess his love, and told Dr. Tang that he could correct any shortcomings as long as Dr. Tang pointed out a direction for him. Dr. Tang pointed out the shortcomings of the warrior's paper..."
W: "I really want to date Dr. Tang. I'm willing to be single for my whole life in exchange for being Dr. Tang's lover for one day."
a: "You are dreaming."
Q: "Dr. Tang only cares about his research. As long as we don't hinder Dr. Tang's research, Dr. Tang will not even pay attention to us. Besides, our group is just a communication and progress group. Life is already so hard every day. Is it wrong to watch the fresh Dr. Tang to motivate yourself? By the way, who saved Dr. Tang's experiment video No. 153? Why didn't you upload it to the group? I want to learn more."
J: "Does that issue have a close-up of the face? I want one, too. Squat."
t: "Dr. Tang looks so good in all white today. Is there any video of Dr. Tang doing an experiment with a similar look? I want to watch it."
h: "What are Dr. Tang's selection criteria for the second phase of the experiment? My overall ability is much stronger than that of Xu Weiyun, why wasn't I notified by Dr. Tang?"
K: "I don't know. I just know that someone named Wang got Dr. Tang's signature. I thought about it all night, but I still can't figure out why I lost."
g: "Dr. Tang's selection of candidates this time was too unexpected. In the past, he always picked the strongest candidates, but this time, the selection criteria were a bit unclear. Yesterday, my friend asked around and found out that the three researchers all felt that they were not selected and that they only competed in cooking. I actually thought that I could do it, so I'll take the exam too!"
l: "Choose me. I'll make pickled fish. I'm dying of pickled fish."
e: "Is there any shady deal? I also want to be selected for the shady contest, please."
p: "How can there be any shady dealings? Old Shi has given Dr. Tang the greatest authority, and no one has interfered with Dr. Tang's ideas, so when will Dr. Tang select people again? My cooking is delicious."
n: "I heard that Dr. Tang likes people who cook delicious food. Brothers, is it too late for me to study cooking now?"
x: "I heard that Dr. Tang likes Subject 1. Brother, I don't want to be a human anymore. Is it too late?"
…
Tang Ning felt as if someone was looking at him. He looked up in confusion and saw a group of people all eating. The entire cafeteria was very quiet except for the sound of people chewing their food. Tang Ning thought with some emotion that these people were worthy of being the talents of the First Research Institute. They all knew how to make good use of their time and would finish their meals early so that they could get back to work.
However, Tang Ning saw someone nearby holding an empty bowl, still staying in the cafeteria as if eating air.
Yu Tangning couldn't help but sigh in his heart: He is worthy of being a talent of the First Research Institute. He did not forget to think about profound questions while eating, and did not even realize that his bowl was empty.
The not-so-bright Tang Ning stood up with awe for the smart people, carrying his finished bowl and leaving his seat. He heard faint sighs coming from all around him.
As expected of the talents of the First Research Institute, he is still worried about various situations while eating...
Dr. Tang fan group.
b: "Wow, wow, Dr. Tang is gone. The steamed bun in my hand doesn't smell good anymore."
v: "Fuck, who was so quick to act? He immediately sat on the seat that Dr. Tang just sat on!"
i: "Help, help, help! Dr. Tang looked at me and asked, why didn't I comb my hair properly before leaving the door today?!"
n: "Why is it that the number 1 who made eye contact with me... made me impotent."
Z: "I was also seen by that monster. It is said to be an S-level monster. I feel that it will eat people at any time. Wouldn't such a monster harm Dr. Tang?"
…
Tangning had no idea what his classmates were really thinking. He led No. 1 to the cafeteria kitchen and found the most popular chef.
The chef knew that he was teaching a monster how to cook, and his expression froze for a moment. He wanted to refuse at first, but when Tangning asked No. 1 to perform a vegetable-cutting exercise and said that the chef did not need to communicate with No. 1 and only wanted No. 1 to watch from the side, the chef hesitated for a moment and finally agreed.
No. 1 watched the chef cook while Tang Ning stood in the corner of the kitchen looking through the various materials left by Dr. Tang.
In the room of the First Research Institute, Tang Ning did not find any information about Dr. Tang's past. What he knew about Dr. Tang's past basically came from what Li Haoyuan told him last night. Tang Ning asked the system, but the system did not reveal any more information.
Tang Ning had no choice but to look up Dr. Tang's emotional control theory. He felt sleepy when he saw the theoretical stuff. He read a simple paragraph over and over again before he understood its meaning.
According to Tang Ning's own understanding, emotional control is to continuously transmit positive energy to the monster through the mental link, deepening the feelings between the two parties.
Judging from the way Tang Ning and No. 1 are getting along now, they have already reached the stage of Dr. Tang's emotional control theory, and No. 1 is basically not at risk of losing control.
In other words, based on the current emotional foundation between Tang Ning and No. 1, it is entirely possible to try to strengthen No. 1 as the First Dean suggested.
The aroma of food wafted in and Tang Ning sniffed. He looked up and saw that the chef had prepared the meal.
Under the chef's vigilant gaze, No. 1 on the side walked confidently to the chef's original position, cutting vegetables, putting them into the wok, and stir-frying them in an orderly and professional manner. The chef slowly widened his eyes and revealed an expression of disbelief.
Tang Ning found that the current No. 1's cooking style had changed slightly from before. Although he was cooking the same braised pork, he did not copy Tang Ning or the chef's every move. It was more like he integrated the two, taking the essence and discarding the dregs.
Knowing that No. 1 was just a novice who had only been cooking for less than a day, Tang Ning was dumbfounded by his incredible learning ability and speed of improvement.
The braised pork pot is almost ready on the 1st.
It served the food skillfully, even though it had never used chopsticks before. It learned the skill quickly based on its experience of watching other people eat over the past two days. It picked up a piece of fatty and lean, fragrant braised pork and carefully placed it next to Tang Ning's mouth.
Although Tang Ning was not hungry, he was still a little hungry when he smelled the fragrance.
Tang Ning opened his mouth and took a bite. He was surprised to find that it tasted better than what he made himself.
No. 1 looked at Tangning expectantly.
Even though Tang Ning didn't use physical contact to deepen the spiritual connection, he could still see deep anticipation on No. 1's blank face.
If No. 1's cooking skills continued to improve every day, Tangning suspected that it would not be long before it could catch up with the average cooking level of the princes.
… If No.1 has really improved to this extent, then wouldn’t No.1 be the prince he has been looking for
Before Tangning could even begin to be shocked by this discovery, he received a message from the First Dean on the communicator.
"Tangning, are you ready for the enhanced experiment No. 1?"
