After paying a long list of bills from Rawlsn, traveling from the blue sunset planet of Bonian to the icy and snowy planet of Frosen, and almost going around in a circle back to the planet of Froda, Heath finally returned home.
They did it secretly without telling anyone, but when Heath was trying to sneak into the house with Qi Guang, Shifa was sitting in the living room waiting.
He was holding a document in his hand and there were several stacks of documents on the table, as if he was waiting here for a while.
"Are you back?" Xifa heard the door open and looked up at Xisi who was walking in. His brother after molting was quite different from what he remembered, but the breath was still familiar to him.
Just appearing within the range of perception made him feel warm.
"Hey, I'm back." Heath's eyebrows were curved. After molting, the dimples on his cheeks were basically invisible. The corners of his lips were raised, making him look less obedient and cute, and more mature and sexy.
Qi Guang followed Heath and walked into the place that Heath called "home".
He had seen Shifa before in simulation scenarios, but it still felt strange to actually step into this place.
He became nervous instinctively, as if he had stepped into the territory of another predator.
"Home" gave him a strange feeling.
Maybe it’s because after the end of the world, he never thought about this matter again.
Shifa gave her brother's partner a friendly smile, "Hello, I guess I should say long time no see?"
"…Long time no see." Qi Guang's hand, held by Heath, tightened for a moment, then slowly relaxed. "Hello."
"Go call mother and the others."
After sitting down, Xifa turned his head to Rawlsn who was diluting his presence and said, "And grandfather."
"Hey, you're all here today?" Heath was a little surprised. "Isn't grandpa recuperating in Furlo?"
"We moved here in the past two days." Xifa said, pushing the snacks on the table towards Xisi, "Grandfather will live here until the hot season is over..."
As he spoke, he rubbed his forehead and looked like he had a headache.
Heath hadn't seen his family for several years, so he was very happy to hear that. "There are still more than ten days left. I haven't seen my grandfather for a long time. I wonder if he is doing well..."
"That's great. I can still deal with this ignorant brat!"
Rawlsen was dragged out by the elders of Heiyu with a bitter face, and was speechless in response to Xifa's inquiring eyes.
He really didn't do anything. In terms of fighting power, he couldn't beat any of the Phoenixes in the room. How stupid would one have to be to provoke the one with the strongest fighting power
Xifa received Rawlsn's distress signal perfectly, sighed and said, "Let him go, the insect species can't withstand your slap."
It's not like he hasn't seen Rawlsn's shell before. Although it's hard, its toughness is not that good. At least it can't withstand the strong hammering from his grandfather.
As a top interstellar searcher, Xifa felt that he had to have some conscience.
Heath's grandfather, Mr. Bligh, stared at Shifa for a while, but didn't see any clues on his grandson's indifferent face, so he let go of the little insect in his hand.
Hiss—what is the relationship between these two? Even the knowledgeable Mr. Bligh can’t explain it clearly.
It's not that it has anything to do with that. It's impossible for Shifa's personality to keep Rawlsn alive until now, but if you say it's a little bit of that...
Every time Xifa is in her reproductive period, there is no smell of anyone else on her body. It is completely different from Rawlsn's scent, leaving no room for imagination.
It was so awkward that he couldn't urge Xifa to get married.
Mr. Bligh was so worried about his eldest grandson that he was particularly fond of his younger grandson and his partner, who had settled their lifelong affairs at such a young age. He gave them a big hug as soon as they met.
Wrapped in thick black wings, the kind that makes it hard to breathe.
Heath struggled to break free from the embrace of love, and the filter created by the long separation shattered to the ground, helping him to recall the true face of his grandfather.
There are also fathers and mothers who are on their way and whose figures can be seen, and excited calls from those who hear their voices before they see them.
Heath, who had never wavered since eloping, trembled, and he and Shifa reached a consensus in their eye contact.
-Thanks for your hard work.
-The same to you.
Heath didn't even think about saving Qi Guang who was wrapped tightly in the big wings. He cheered himself up and faced his parents who rushed in with a smile.
Both his parents are feathered, but the mother is classified as a subtype of Phoenix, with beautiful completely golden-red feathers.
My father's wings are the same black as my grandfather's. If Hiss and Shifa were not atavistic, the color of their feathers should also be golden red or black.
The couple who were about to hold their poor little son in their arms quickly calmed down after seeing the mature version of Heath.
"Well, you're back." Heath's mother touched her hair and greeted Heath from a step away.
"I'm glad you're back safely." Heath's father's expression changed from tears in his eyes to a serious yet slightly tender one in three seconds, and he stood one step away from Heath.
This is the same way they get along with Shifa.
Heath was ready to be overwhelmed by the hug, and was stunned for a moment, but he immediately came back to his senses and smiled, "The journey was relatively smooth, and I even bought some gifts."
This is the difference between juvenile and adult plumage systems. No matter how old they are, juvenile plumage systems are still their parents’ babies, and when not all the chicks in a nest have reached adulthood, the parents’ breeding season will hardly occur.
But once the chicks grow up, no matter how young they are, they are considered self-reliant adults in the eyes of their parents, and the extremely close bond previously built between the parents and the chicks instantly cools down to social distance.
This helps parent birds, who are overly caring for their chicks, to give birth to new life as quickly as possible, which was a very successful survival strategy in ancient times.
Heath thought that in a few years or even more than ten years, he and Shifa would have a bunch of chirping brothers or sisters.
Well, Mr. Bligh's over-enthusiasm is an exception.
Qi Guang survived Mr. Bligh's wing attack by holding his breath (bu), and when he breathed air again, little stars appeared in front of his eyes.
He could have broken free just now, but for reasons he couldn't explain, he stood there and didn't move away, but let Mr. Bligh hug him.
Qi Guang attributed it to the stress response of entering unfamiliar territory.
Heath's parents were also very kind. They did not show any dissatisfaction with Heath's relationship. They enthusiastically arranged meals and even arranged a bedroom for him and Heath.
When Qi Guang went to take a shower, Heath was searching around the room and almost broke into a sweat right after he finished taking a shower.
"I knew my brother would help me get it out." He found what he was looking for under the bed, pulled out the square box, and skillfully entered the password to open it.
Heath held the box in his arms and turned to look at the big bed in the bedroom.
The feather beds are not flat like those of humans. The shallow semicircle is more like a nest, but the materials are no longer ancient branches, weeds and feathers.
No, there is still a scenario where feathers will be used to build nests.
Qi Guang had no idea what Heath was doing outside, so he opened the system and looked through it while taking a shower.
After the system upgrade, he used the points he had to buy some things, and there was still a reasonable amount of points left.
It’s definitely not as good as the time when you could use your points freely to buy things, but it’s still plenty if you plan to use it.
The system does not have any mandatory tasks for him. Given the current points situation, Qi Guang can stop the live broadcast directly if he wants.
Qi Guang turned to the system’s latest updated time-travel function.
As the name suggests, this new feature does exactly what it says on the tin.
Although the system's explanation is a full page long, there are two pages of detailed terms and three pages of example descriptions. Even if you just want to inquire about the activation conditions of this function, you will be forced to watch a nearly two-hour explanation video by the system.
Qi Guang had read every word of these things and was almost able to memorize them.
If this function was upgraded when he was alone, he would definitely not hesitate at all.
Qi Guang heard the system prompt him that an uninvited guest was about to arrive, and he and Heath had about five hours to escape calmly.
This was enough time for them to escape to another planet and disappear from their pursuers' sight again.
Qi Guang turned off the water and shook his hair. The machine in the bathroom dried the water off his body in seconds.
…
In the bedroom, Heath had already crawled into the nest-shaped bed and was lying on the side waving at Qi Guang.
His cheeks were flushed and his eyes were wet, which made Qi Guang feel that he must be planning something.
It was not visible from the outside, but as soon as Qi Guang got into the bed, he immediately realized something was wrong.
What he touched was not the texture of the bed, but the texture of velvet, fluffy, feathers.
Qi Guang’s first reaction was that Heath had lost his hair.
Picking up a few feathers and looking at them carefully, those feathers looked like flight feathers, but they were different from Heath's current feathers. They looked small and soft.
More like feathers that fell during the chirping period.
The fluffy white feathers were supported by the bed and built into the shape of a nest.
Heath knelt in the middle of the feather nest, looking at Qi Guang with moist and sparkling eyes. His white and slender neck raised an attractive arc and touched Qi Guang's arm with his fingertips.
The intention is obvious.
There is no intention of hiding anything at all.
Qi Guang looked into Heath's eyes. The clear blue color spread out layer by layer, like the sea reflecting the sun on a sunny day.
He took the hand that fell on his arm.
Be careful, your palms are hot.
The first kiss fell on the knuckles.
It would be nice if there was a ring.
Qi Guang thought.
The author has something to say: Happy Valentine's Day!
Today is also sweet dog food!
Kisses to all the little angels!
