He is not yet mature.
These five short words lingered in Mellor's ears like a magic sound.
When she talked with Master Ruan, she considered many issues, but she only ignored his age. Master Ruan did look a little green, but she thought it was because he looked young, but she didn't expect it was because he hadn't matured yet.
"Maybe his race matured earlier..." Before she could finish her words, she realized that Ruan Shiqing was an ancient human.
Ancient humans reached adulthood at the age of eight.
She shrugged and said regretfully, "Okay, I'll try again."
But if Master Ruan were here, he wouldn't run away.
One more time
Rong Heng, who thought she would give up the idea, became nervous again. He stared at Melaier and reiterated, "Not even a little bit."
Mellaire was completely baffled and felt that the Crown Prince was becoming more and more overbearing: "Why? Even if you are the Crown Prince, you shouldn't interfere with the personal feelings of your subordinates."
"… "
Rong Heng was speechless and could only look unhappy on his face.
Melaire looked at him, and suddenly thought of something. He said in disbelief, "Could it be that you have taken a fancy to Master Ruan?"
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was possible.
The prince used to be so cold and cruel. Not to mention taking care of a child, if any child dared to go near him, he would probably be scared to tears.
But look at him now, he not only takes care of the cubs, but also does a very good job.
And these cubs are all from Master Ruan’s family.
Melaire felt that he had discovered the truth: the Crown Prince, who had been single for 26 years and seemed likely to remain single forever, had actually reunited.
She generously expressed her understanding and support: "If you are also pursuing Master Ruan, then I can withdraw. You know, I don't like overly complicated relationships."
Patting his shoulder vigorously, Mellor encouraged him, "Master Ruan is indeed very good. You have to act quickly. Otherwise, even if I quit, there is no guarantee that there won't be others pursuing him."
Without Rong Heng's response, she left with a subtle look on her face.
She can't wait to share this big gossip with others!!!
On the contrary, Rong Heng, who stayed behind, had a face full of question marks.
What is Mellaire talking about
He retorted in a low voice: "How could I possibly like Ruan Shiqing? I just, just..."
But I can't tell what it is.
The emotion in my chest was swelled, some kind of emotion that had been accumulated for a long time, breaking through the soil like a sprout, flourishing.
When leaving, Rong Heng was quite absent-minded and distraught.
Ruan Shiqing looked at him and swallowed back what he wanted to say. He changed his tone to concern: "You don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"
Rong Heng met his concerned eyes and was inexplicably afraid to look directly at him. He turned his eyes away and said in a low voice, "I'm not feeling uncomfortable."
His heart was beating faster and faster in his chest. He clenched his hands uncomfortably, and hurriedly said, "I have something else to take care of," and strode away.
Looking at his hurried back, Ruan Shiqing said puzzledly: "Rong Xiyou looks a little strange today."
Melaire folded her arms and watched the show, smiling: "Maybe it's because spring is coming, and I'm a little restless." She leaned over and whispered to Ruan Shiqing: "You may not know that because the Bis people retain their animal form, they are similar to animals in some ways. For example, in spring, they will..."
She didn't finish her words and gave Ruan Shiqing a meaningful look that said "I understand".
Ruan Shiqing looked surprised. It was the first time he heard such a statement.
Well, this was Rong's private matter, so he couldn't discuss it any further. He could only smile at Mellor.
Rong Heng fled in panic.
After returning to Fita Manor, he locked himself in the bedroom. The neatly buttoned collar was roughly torn off, and he paced back and forth anxiously.
This feeling of being out of control made him nervous and uneasy. His reason made him stop in time, but his emotions made him unable to help but continue exploring.
like.
These two words seemed to be enchanted, wrapping around him tightly.
He felt so overwhelmed and at the same time, a little bit of joy emerged from a hidden corner.
He lay on the bed with his arms covering his eyes. He asked softly, "Noah, what do you think it feels like to like someone?"
Noah's voice came from the central control system: "Like is an emotion that only humans have. According to the literal meaning, it is a kind of 'happy, happy' emotion caused by certain hormones in the human body, which will make people blush, their heartbeats speed up, and their emotions excited." She paused here before continuing: "But I have another view on this word, which is the realization I gained while accompanying Her Majesty the Queen."
Rong Heng moved his arm away, his dark golden eyes full of confusion: "Tell me about it."
"When you like someone, or even love someone, you will always think of him involuntarily and tolerate all his shortcomings. Even Your Majesty, who is as ruthless as the Queen, often has tender moments when facing you and Mr. Si Yan. This is an emotion that is not controlled by reason and comes naturally from the heart. It will bring about many changes in people."
"So do you think my mother's change is good or bad?"
Noah was silent for a while, as if thinking, and then he said after a while: "I don't think it can be called good or bad, but Her Majesty the Queen has never regretted those times. She once told me that she was very glad that she withstood the pressure and chose His Excellency Si Yan."
"I've never regretted it..." Rong Heng repeated these words, and his confused heart gradually calmed down.
During these years, he rejected marriage proposals from all sides and seldom had contact with the opposite sex, not only because he was on the front line, but also because of his mother's experience, which made him instinctively resist this kind of relationship.
He always felt that his mother's marriage was unhappy and that she received far more than she gave in this marriage.
He never thought deeply about his mother's attitude, but just jumped to conclusions from his own perspective.
His mother was much braver than him. She dared to pursue what she wanted and to overcome all kinds of difficulties in life. Even until the end, she never regretted her decision.
But he trapped himself in numerous worries and hesitated to move forward.
I don't even dare to admit my feelings.
Mellor was right. If you like someone, you should pursue them openly, no matter what the result is. If you miss the opportunity because of your timidity, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
The confusion dissipated, and Rong Heng's eyes gradually turned firm.
The next day after the kids returned home, Ruan Shiqing pulled the kids who were lazy in bed out one by one, put them on the landspeeder, and sent them to school with 09.
The little dragon and the little fox, who hadn't been to school for more than half a month, were whining and trying to act like a spoiled brat and not go to school.
After all, they are already big kids and don’t want to go to class with the little ones.
But unfortunately, all the coquettishness and trickery were useless. Ruan Shiqing coldly suppressed the coquettish kids and personally handed them over to the teacher.
The cubs had no choice but to accept their fate. The little dragon cub swung its tail and walked into the school aggressively. The little fox also had a gloomy face and its big tail was listless.
Only the little mermaid and Ruan Jiao were relatively worry-free. They followed them and entered the school obediently.
Ruan Shiqing watched from afar at the school gate for a while before going to the arsenal laboratory with 09.
He asked 09 to organize and print out the data and information, and then he carefully packed them up before driving the landspeeder again to Fita Manor.
He was going to look for Rong Xi, but because Rong Xi looked unhappy last night, he could only suppress it temporarily. But this discovery made him so excited, and he couldn't wait to verify it, so he came here early this morning.
As soon as I reached the door, I saw Rong Heng walking out.
Ruan Shiqing raised his hand to say hello, but after seeing the other person clearly, he was stunned again.
The other party was dressed very formally today. His white military uniform was neat and new, with medals hanging all over his chest, a pocket watch in his pocket, and a gold watch chain hanging down; his black boots and calves were shiny, and even his white hair was carefully groomed and tied behind his head without a single strand of disorder.
It looks like he's about to attend some grand banquet.
Ruan Shiqing hesitated and asked, "What's up today?"
If anything happened, he could only go to Mellor or Marin.
"It's okay." Rong Heng walked up to him, lowered his eyes to look at him, and tried hard to hide his nervousness and act calmer: "I'm going to go find you."
"That's a coincidence. I was looking for you too." Hearing that he was fine, Ruan Shiqing smiled, took the password box from 09, and couldn't wait to pull his wrist and strode to the conference room: "I have a major discovery, and I need your help to verify it."
Rong Heng didn't have time to finish the rest of his words as they got stuck in his throat.
He stared at the other person's hand that was grasping his wrist. The warmth of another person continued to flow from the body part that was touching him, making his heart beat rapidly.
Barely keeping calm, they followed him and entered the meeting room.
"What's the hurry?"
Ruan Shiqing did not answer him immediately, but asked 09 to wait outside the meeting room and carefully confirmed whether the doors and windows were closed.
Afterwards, he placed the password box on the conference table and opened it, revealing a thick stack of documents inside.
He looked at Rong Heng with his eyes shining like stars: "I discovered something from the Zerg. If my guess is true and the source can be successfully found, the entire Galactic Empire will undergo earth-shaking changes in the future."
Rong Heng took the report he handed over and read it carefully: "Antimatter? This theory is still just a guess, right? No one can prove the existence of antimatter today."
"That's right." Ruan Shiqing handed him another report: "But when I was studying the Zerg, I accidentally found a small amount of antimatter in their bodies."
When antimatter and matter meet, an annihilation reaction will inevitably occur.
Ruan Shiqing noticed the strange reactions inside the Zerg when he was dissecting them. After repeated tests and confirmations, he believed that there was a small amount of antimatter in the Zerg's body.
Because of their special physical structure, the small amount of antimatter remaining in their bodies is preserved intact.
