When Gu Mingyuan returned home, the house was pitch dark.
He did research all day at the institute.
The institute was bustling with activity—although the new graduate students were a little afraid of him, and his students would secretly spread rumors about him to their younger classmates.
He doesn't really care.
But after returning home, I was exhausted, and saw that the house was dark and cold without any human presence, so I couldn't help feeling a little empty inside.
Gu Mingyuan took off his coat, tugged at his tie, turned on the bedroom light with his other hand, changed his shoes at the door, and walked into the house.
He opened the refrigerator and took out a can of beer. Holding the can in one hand and with his coat draped over his other arm, he walked towards the sofa in the living room.
As soon as he sat down on the sofa, Gu Mingyuan suddenly felt a little strange.
He frowned and whispered, "Lan Bai?"
… No response.
Gu Mingyuan paused for a moment.
He stood up and walked to a cabinet in the living room. He opened the cabinet and took out a can of cat snacks. He shook the can in his hand, and the snacks made a sporadic clanging sound in the can.
Looks like you're almost done eating
Gu Mingyuan shook the snack can and continued to call out, "Blue and white? Golden retriever? Come and have some snacks."
… … Still no response.
Gu Mingyuan frowned and walked into the house.
He walked around several rooms but couldn't find the little guy he was looking for.
Finally, I saw my pet on the balcony.
The whole big golden retriever was lying on the ground, holding the chubby blue and white baby in his arms.
Blue and White is a British shorthair, "blue and white" refers to his fur color.
In fact, its "blue" looks gray at first glance, because it is a bluish-gray color, and gray cat doesn't sound very nice...so this grayish color is called "blue".
The blue cat is pure blue-gray, while the blue and white cat has more or less white hair on its body.
The blue and white one from Gu Mingyuan's family is mostly blue, with only four of its paws having white gloves.
Half of his body was hidden under the golden retriever's body, with his round little butt sticking out. He was twisting left and right constantly, and no one knew what he was doing.
Gu Mingyuan's frown relaxed a little, and he looked at the big dog and called out again: "Golden Retriever?"
… He really named it at will.
One is golden, the other is blue and white.
The golden retriever lay on the ground, looking up at him, with its long tongue sticking out and breathing heavily, looking like it was grinning.
Gu Mingyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he reached out his hand and patted his head: "What's wrong?"
The golden retriever seemed to want to get up, but because of the things hidden under his body, he dared not move anymore, feeling aggrieved.
Gu Mingyuan probably figured it out a little.
The golden retriever didn't know what "treasure" he had found, so he protected it under his body.
Lan Bai was trying hard to pull it out from under him.
He touched Lan Bai's back again.
The blue and white buttocks lifted up with his movements, with the tail standing high, revealing two deflated balls.
Gu Mingyuan bent down and picked up Lan Bai.
Lan Bai struggled desperately in his arms.
"... Stop it." Gu Mingyuan touched Lan Bai's head, "Golden Hair, what are you hiding?"
The golden retriever whimpered in grievance and raised his paw.
A little bit of white stuff was revealed.
Gu Mingyuan: “?”
The golden retriever looked dejected and very aggrieved, but he still got up from the ground.
Gurgle Gurgle—
From his arms rolled out a huge... egg.
Gu Mingyuan's movements froze for a moment.
The blue-white monster screamed and jumped out of his arms, stretching out its sharp claws towards the egg in front of it without thinking -
Gu Mingyuan quickly grabbed Lan Bai's neck.
He carried Lan Bai back to the living room and found an empty second bedroom to lock Lan Bai in.
When I turned around, I saw the golden retriever sitting next to the huge egg, breathing heavily, as if he was laughing foolishly.
The egg looked to be the size of two or three blue and white ones.
Lanbai is a fat cat weighing over ten kilograms.
Gu Mingyuan walked over with a headache, rubbed the golden retriever's head, and said to himself: "Where did you find it...?"
Golden Retriever: "Woooooooooooo!"
Gu Mingyuan: “…”
Golden Retriever: “Woooo ...
Looks very happy.
Gu Mingyuan touched his head and said nothing more.
He knew that no matter how smart humans were, after raising pets, they would try to communicate with their pets, whose language they did not speak, like a lunatic. However, he was trying hard to avoid such idiotic behavior.
This huge, egg-like object...
The best way may be to contact the research institute and hand it over to colleagues with expertise in this area...
But Gu Mingyuan hesitated.
The balcony is connected to his bedroom, separated only by a huge floor-to-ceiling window.
Gu Mingyuan placed the egg on the balcony and initially didn't know how to deal with this strange thing.
A voice in his heart told him - this is your treasure, you have to keep it.
This idea is crazy.
It's crazier than an hour-long conversation with the blue and white at home.
Gu Mingyuan was silent for a while, and fell into a rare state of confusion.
Just as he was hesitating, the golden retriever stretched out his fleshy paw and pressed on the egg.
Gu Mingyuan was startled and subconsciously wanted to protect the egg.
But the golden retriever's actions were not rude.
He grinned foolishly, pulled the egg under his body, half-knelt down, and covered the egg with his body.
It seems to be hatching eggs.
… It’s quite similar.
Gu Mingyuan rubbed his temples, feeling like he might be dreaming.
A dog can hatch eggs
Is it possible
He thought he might be under too much pressure.
Gu Mingyuan went to take a shower to calm down.
After I came out, I still called a close friend.
He contacted a friend majoring in bioengineering, who first thought that he was under too much pressure recently and then began to ask for some details.
Of course, I didn't think he was joking.
Obviously, it was conceded that Gu Mingyuan was the kind of person who would never joke with others even if he had hallucinations.
He gave Gu Mingyuan an idea, asking him to put the egg in the cage that Golden Retriever used before, so as not to alert the enemy.
Wait until he gets off work tomorrow, go home with him and visit his house.
—Nothing like handing it over was mentioned.
Obviously, it was tacitly agreed that if Gu Mingyuan wanted to hand it over, he would contact the person himself and would not find him.
It can be considered a bit of tacit understanding over the years.
Gu Mingyuan thanked him, found the cage that the golden retriever had used before, opened it, hesitated for a while, turned around and went to the house to find a few thick cotton jackets that he wore in winter, and spread them in the cage.
Then carefully put the eggs in.
The golden retriever followed him closely, its tail shaking so much that an afterimage was left.
Seeing him put the eggs into the cage, the golden retriever clutched the cage aggrievedly and made a whining sound in his throat.
Gu Mingyuan: "...You want to go in?"
Golden Retriever: “Woo-oo!”
Gu Mingyuan: “…”
He was actually talking to the dog again.
He opened the cage, and the golden retriever really went in very consciously, scratched it with its claws a few times, and then hid the egg in its arms.
Then he smacked his lips and fell asleep contentedly.
Gu Mingyuan: “…”
In the past, trying to get him into the cage was like killing a dog, but what was going on today
All this made him feel a little subtly strange.
At one moment, he even felt that he might be dreaming.
But Gu Mingyuan had too much work to do today, and he didn't have much energy to think about these messy things.
He decided to go to bed first and talk about it tomorrow.
This was a strange thing for Gu Mingyuan, who always did things today.
…
Gu Mingyuan did not sleep well that night.
He always saw a girl vaguely in his dreams.
Gu Mingyuan couldn't see the girl's face clearly, he just felt that she looked soft and fragile, as if she would die if he pinched her.
But she was very strong and bold, holding his arm and saying something, and even stepped on his hand to climb onto his shoulder.
Gu Mingyuan woke up in fright.
He sat on the bed with the alarm clock ringing beside him.
He held down his wildly beating heart.
In the dream, I was so worried that she would miss a step and fall.
Gu Mingyuan rubbed his head and heard the whimpering sound of the golden retriever outside.
In a trance he recalled the strange things that happened the night before.
He got up and walked out of the room, and saw the cage in the corner of the living room.
The golden retriever was still in the cage, whining and howling at the eggs in front of him.
… It seems that what happened last night was not a dream.
Gu Mingyuan walked over and opened the cage, and the golden retriever immediately ran out with its tail between its legs in fear.
It seemed that the egg inside that he loved so much was actually something very scary.
Gu Mingyuan lowered his head and looked at the egg in front of him.
… The egg cracked.
He panicked for a moment, and then he saw the egg making a continuous crackling sound, and the cracked area was getting bigger and bigger.
Gu Mingyuan stretched out his hand towards the egg.
A piece of eggshell flew out and brushed past his fingertips.
Gu Mingyuan had to take half a step back.
Then he saw the eggshell completely shattered and a fleshy hand stretched out from it.
It's a hand - a human hand!
A human being hatched from an egg! !
Mr. Gu Mingyuan, who has worked at the National Academy of Science and Technology for ten years, felt for a moment that he was still in a dream, and he even rubbed his eyes.
After kneading it, I saw that the eggshell was completely broken.
In the middle of a pile of debris, there sat a white and soft little creature, who looked like a human of about two years old - except that he had something that humans didn't have.
The little guy stood up shakily.
She had a pair of tender horns on her head, a pair of wings wrapped around her body, and something like a lizard's tail sticking out from her back, which she seemed to be holding in her arms to cover the area not covered by the wings.
A pair of plump and round calves were exposed, and the tender little feet were curled up anxiously.
There was a broken eggshell on her head.
The little guy hugged his tail, his pink cheeks were no different from those of a human, his round eyes were watery, and he looked a little aggrieved, as if he would cry at any time.
But her eyes were amber vertical pupils.
It's the eyes of a reptile.
"Eh... Eh wow." The little guy held his tail, put the tip of his tail into his mouth, pretending to suck it, "Wow wow wow."
Gu Mingyuan: “…”
… … At least, what hatched from the egg was not a human being… right
