A Dan immediately agreed. "That's possible. There are countless planets in the universe. It's impossible to record every one of them on a map … Ah, what should we do then?"
Xie Sen comforted him. "Don't worry, I'll think of something … Could it be that it's not on a planet but floating in space?"
"No," A Dan said. "I can feel that it's full of energy and has a strong aura of nature around it. It can't be in space. It must be on a planet with a lot of plants!"
Xie Sen muttered, "I understand. I'll think of something."
"A Sen is the best! You'll definitely find a way! "A Sen said in a tone full of encouragement.
Xie Sen found it funny that they would praise him whenever they encountered trouble. He said, "Don't worry, I'll think of something."
"Okay, I'll go and rest first then."
Xie Sen stared at the map for a long time. He drew a circle around Brent Star according to the distance A Dan had given him, but he still couldn't find a matching planet.
Just as he was thinking, his communicator rang. He glanced at it and saw that it was Mu Lin. He picked it up. "Dean Mu, what's the matter?"
"Did you forget that it's been more than a month? It's time for you to come for a physical examination," Mu Lin said.
Xie Sen really had forgotten. "Sorry, I'll go this weekend."
"If you're not busy, come over after work tonight. Gu Luo and I are working overtime tonight. We have time."
Xie Sen said, "Okay, I'll come over after work."
After work that night, MeiIn came to pick Xie Sen up on time. Xie Sen was walking towards the parking lot when he received a call from Bai Jiao. As soon as he picked up, he heard Bai Jiao say, "A Sen, are you free tonight? I'll treat you to dinner. "
Xie Sen thought for a moment and understood. "Ah Teng gave you all the plants?"
Bai Jiao: "Yeah, I gave it to you yesterday. I was supposed to treat you guys to dinner yesterday, but it was already very late after I took care of the plants."
"I'm fine." Xie Sen smiled as he recalled the speed of the previous inspection. "I'm going to the Contract Beast Research Institute now. I should be able to settle the matter quickly. Shall we meet later?"
After he came here, there were too few gatherings between friends like this. He didn't want to miss it.
"No problem. I'll send you the restaurant's address later," Bai Jiao said.
Xie Sen hung up the call and walked to the parking lot. He looked up and saw MeiIn striding towards him. He smiled and saved the message from his bracelet.
MeiIn walked in front of him and wrapped her arms around his waist. She lowered her head and kissed him on the lips before leading him to the shuttle. "Did everything go well?"
"Very well. We'll go to the Contract Beast Research Institute first, then have dinner with Bai Jiao."
MeiIn frowned and opened the shuttle door for Xie Sen to get in. He walked around the other side and sat in the pilot's seat. He leaned over and pressed his hand on Xie Sen's shoulder. "Why do you want to eat with him? I just want to eat with you at home. "
Xie Sen looked up at him helplessly. "Bai Jiao is our friend. It's normal for us to have dinner together. We all need to socialize."
"I don't need it." MeiIn pinched his chin gently. "I don't have friends, and I don't want friends. I only want you."
Xie Sen grabbed his hand and looked him in the eyes. "You need it. You admire Long Teng and Bai Jiao. In fact, you already see them as friends. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gone on missions with them time and time again. You just don't want to admit that they're friends. You're afraid that they'll eventually betray you or leave you for various reasons. You're just afraid of being hurt, so you keep them at arm's length. "
MeiIn's eyes suddenly trembled, and his voice was stiff. "I'm not!"
Xie Sen deeply felt that MeiIn had many psychological problems. Looking at his pale face, his heart ached. MeiIn's childhood experience had deeply affected him.
He felt MeiIn's body tense up. Seeing him unconsciously show a defensive look, he raised his head and bit MeiIn's lips. "Relax, you don't have to be afraid at all. Don't be afraid to make friends because you're afraid of losing them. No matter what, I'll be with you."
MeiIn hugged him tightly. "You'll always be with me."
"Okay." Xie Sen hugged him back.
MeiIn was silent for a moment. "I'll try to make friends."
Xie Sen laughed and patted him on the shoulder. "That's great. Let's go to the Contract Beast Research Institute. If we delay any longer, Bai Jiao will have to wait for a long time."
MeiIn kissed him before letting him go. He set the route and started the shuttle.
The shuttle quickly landed in the parking lot of the Research Institute. Mu Lin's assistant, Gu Luo, personally received them for a physical examination. Gu Luo smiled at Xie Sen and said, "Don't be nervous. It'll be the same as last time. It'll be over soon."
Xie Sen nodded and lay down in the examination cabin.
After a while, he heard Gu Luo say, "It's done."
MeiIn bent down and carried him out of the examination cabin. His face was slightly red, and he patted MeiIn's arm. MeiIn swept his red ears and put him down, but his arms were still around him.
Gu Luo lowered his head to look at the examination results. He looked at them very quickly and was surprised when he finished. "I can't believe that your body has improved so much in just over a month!"
Xie Sen still remembered A Dan's words. He knew that the improvement in his body was due to the two types of energy he recovered. He smiled. "It's probably because my state of mind is better now. Before … I was depressed."
Gu Luo looked at MeiIn and smiled. "It seems that love can really nourish people."
"Really?" Mu Lin walked in from outside. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Luo with a deep gaze. Gu Luo looked at him and quickly looked away. He said to Xie Sen, "Your body is in good condition. You don't have to worry about the taboos I told you before. Just pay attention to your safety measures."
Xie Sen blinked and recalled the taboos he mentioned. One of them was — forbidden sex. Some unspeakable images suddenly flashed through his mind. He suddenly felt that MeiIn's hand around his waist was exceptionally clear. His heartbeat quickened uncontrollably.
MeiIn's expression changed slightly. Taboos? Safety measures? He lowered his head to look at Xie Sen and saw his face turn red. His heart skipped a beat, and he unconsciously held Xie Sen tighter.
Xie Sen's mind was filled with images that were not suitable for children. He felt very guilty and did not dare to turn his head to look at him when he felt his movements. He hurriedly greeted Mu Lin. "Dean Mu."
Mu Lin walked to Gu Luo's side and looked at the examination results. "The speed of your recovery is amazing. Did you take any special medicine or something else?"
Xie Sen shook his head. "No. Just like I said, it's mainly because of the change in my state of mind. Although depression is a psychological problem, it can also affect the body."
Mu Lin pondered. "The change is too big. Maybe it has something to do with you being a plant-type Beast Master."
Gu Luo continued, "That's possible." He smiled at Xie Sen. "Thank you for cooperating with our work. This will be of great help to our research on plant-type Beast Masters. I will look for more information on plant-type Beast Masters and compare it with your situation. I'll have to trouble you to come again in a month."
"Okay, then I'll come again in a month." He said goodbye to the two of them.
Gu Luo said, "Wait." He glanced at MeiIn and then at Xie Sen. "Can I speak to you alone?"
MeiIn frowned. Xie Sen was very curious. He did not know what he would say. He asked MeiIn to wait for a moment and followed Gu Luo out of the examination room.
Gu Luo brought him to a corner. When he saw that there was no one around, he asked Xie Sen softly, "You know your identity?"
Xie Sen was confused. A bunch of dumplings flashed through his mind and he immediately shocked himself. He did not believe that life was so melodramatic. "What identity? Of course I know my identity. "
Gu Luo muttered, "As expected, if you don't know that you're a female, how can you be with a male MeiIn as a male?"
"Wait." Xie Sen was speechless. "Assistant Gu, why don't I understand what you're saying? What do you mean by 'if I don't know that I'm a female?' I'm a male! "
Gu Luo looked at him in surprise. "Male? You still think you're a male? MeiIn knows too? "
"I am, not what I think I am!" Xie Sen suddenly felt an inexplicable uneasiness. His tone became heavier, as if this was more convincing, as if this was the truth. "Of course MeiIn knows."
"You … so the two of you are in love?" Gu Luo asked.
"Isn't this obvious?" Xie Sen felt that Gu Luo should change his name to 'weird'. "You're a little weird …"
Gu Luo was in a daze for a moment. "I'm sorry, but haven't you ever thought that males can't have offspring when they're together? Even if they can be artificially impregnated, it would be different from their own children. "
Xie Sen was speechless. "What's there to think about? If they don't have children, they can just live together. If they like children, they can adopt them. Artificially impregnated is also fine."
Gu Luo looked at him, then looked at himself. His expression was gloomy as he muttered, "We're different. You're soft and petite. Even if you mistakenly think that you're a male, you're still different from a hard male like me."
Xie Sen's mouth twitched. He sighed. "Assistant Gu, why do you always say that it's a misunderstanding? Also, I won't be happy when I hear this kind of comparison. As a male, it's very strange for you to compare like this. It's like … you care that you're not soft enough. "
Speaking of this, he suddenly realized something. "Did you fall in love with a male?" Thinking of this, Gu Luo's behavior just now could be explained. He laughed and said, "Are you still a man? If you like him, then go after him. Stop wasting time. What era are we in now? You're still thinking about offspring. If you like him, then you like him. It has nothing to do with gender. "
Gu Luo lowered his head and pondered for a moment. "You're right, but I … I'm afraid that he'll regret it. He'll regret not marrying a soft and fertile female."
Xie Sen thought to himself. Was his surname Gu so old-fashioned?
"What are you afraid of? If that's really the case, then just break up. Don't tell me you can't live without him. Aren't you living well alone now? Also, this is the worst case scenario. You should at least have some confidence in the person you like, right? "
Gu Luo's eyes lit up. He suddenly understood and said, "Yes, you're right. Thank you. I know what to do now."
As he spoke, he quickly turned around. After taking two steps, he thought of something and turned his head. "Sorry, your body was in poor condition last time. We were worried that your emotional fluctuations would be bad for your body, so we didn't tell you the truth. The reason why I always said that you thought you were a female is because — — you are a female."
Xie Sen stood on the spot in shock. He felt that his ears were ringing.
After Gu Luo finished speaking, he rushed into the examination room. After a while, he pulled a surprised Mu Lin out.
Xie Sen still maintained his shocked expression with his mouth slightly open. He must have been hallucinating just now. Otherwise, Gu Luo must have said something wrong, or was joking with him!
"A Sen?" MeiIn waved her hand in front of his eyes. She looked worried. "What's wrong? What did Gu Luo do to you? "The word 'what' was spoken was cold.
Xie Sen came back to his senses and forced a smile. "It's nothing." He wiped his face. How could this be? How did he look like a female? "Let's go to the restaurant."
As soon as they entered the restaurant, they saw Long Teng standing at the right-hand corner, leaning against the wall. He smiled brightly and waved at them. "This …" His voice stopped abruptly. He turned his head to look at the bottom left.
Xie Sen smiled. He saw that there were traces of Long Teng's clothes being pulled. At a glance, he knew that Bai Jiao had stopped him in time.
He and MeiIn walked over and sat opposite Long Teng and Bai Jiao. Bai Jiao handed the menu to Xie Sen. "We've already ordered. What do you want to eat?"
Xie Sen looked at the food on the menu. He missed the small restaurant at the back of his school. He used to think that the small restaurant had too few dishes. Now, he understood what it meant to have too few dishes.
He was shocked when he first entered the restaurant. At first glance, the menu was full. He thought that there were many types of dishes, but in fact, they were all about the same. The dishes were divided into two categories: barbecued meat or boiled meat. The reason why the menu was full was that there were many types of meat, including all kinds of animals.
He ordered a grilled fish and handed the menu to MeiIn. MeiIn didn't look at the menu. She ordered a grilled meat directly.
Bai Jiao asked the waiter to pour four glasses of water. He looked at Xie Sen. "I heard from Teng that you were kidnapped. Are you okay?"
Xie Sen raised his arm and patted his biceps. "Do I look like I'm not okay?"
Bai Jiao laughed. "It's good that you're okay." He took out a small spray bottle as thick as a finger and handed it to him. "This is a new enigma agent that I've developed. You can use it when you're in danger.
Xie Sen took it in surprise. He looked at it and put it in his space backpack. "You're amazing!"
Long Teng said excitedly, "Right, right? I stayed at his house for a day and saw many plants and medicines. I also think that he's amazing! "
Bai Jiao said modestly, "Many of the prescriptions were passed down in my family. I'm just following them."
Xie Sen thought for a moment. He remembered that Bai Jiao was born in a medical family. He asked softly, "Has your family researched medicine related to contracted beasts?"
"Yes," Bai Jiao said. "We've researched medicine for contracted beasts. Now, we're mainly researching medicine for contracted beasts. Contracted beasts are very strong, but their minds are easily unstable. It's fine if the beast master is around, but if something happens to the beast master, it's easy for it to go berserk and cause a tragedy. This has happened many times in history. "
Xie Sen said, "Then, have you researched medicine to break the contract between contracted beasts and their beast master?"
Bai Jiao looked at him in surprise. After a moment of silence, he nodded. He said softly, "This is not a public research. If it's exposed, it will cause a lot of contracted beasts to panic. The purpose of researching this medicine is to save the life of one of the contracted beasts after the death of the other. "
Xie Sen's eyes lit up. "Yes, is this medicine really that important? Now, it can also be used on people who force contracted beasts to contract with them to save them. "
Bai Jiao sighed. "Yes, but there's also a worrying side. If it's used on two parties who are willing to form a contract, it will cause a tragedy."
Xie Sen held his chin. "It's reasonable to say that if two parties are willing to form a contract, the synchronization rate is higher. The contract should be more stable than those who are forced to form a contract. The effect of the medicine on them should be different!"
Bai Jiao smiled. "I even suspect that you're involved in the research. This is the current direction of research. After many years of research, the contract-breaking medicine is only a rough prototype. There are still many problems to be solved."
He sighed. "There are too few existing herbs in the world. Although our ancestors used various methods to save the herbs, our family couldn't make them grow. Many of the herbs needed for the contract-breaking medicine are replaced with animal herbs with similar medicinal properties. This will affect the efficacy of the medicine. "
Xie Sen thought that when all the energy was collected, all kinds of plants could be grown, including herbs!
He said, "Haven't we collected a lot of herbs recently? This is a good start. It will get better and better! "
Bai Jiao's eyes were clear and bright. He tucked his white hair behind his ear. "You're right. It will get better and better." He smiled. "Speaking of which, it's all thanks to you that these medicinal herbs were discovered. Next time, you must tell me where you go. I want to go with you to find medicinal herbs."
"Haha, I also told A Sen to take me with you next time. I want to go on an adventure!" Long Teng laughed.
Xie Sen thought of the next place he wanted to go and sighed. "There's a place I want to go, but I haven't found a way to get there yet."
"Eh? Where is it? "Long Teng stretched his neck and asked curiously.
Xie Sen opened the interstellar map and flattened the virtual screen. He pointed at the mark he made according to A Dan's instructions. "The destination planet is here. It's just that it's not marked on the map because it's too small."
MeiIn turned his head and asked, "When did you sense it?"
Xie Sen smiled at him. "In the afternoon. I was going to tell you when I got back at night. We happened to talk about it, so I told you."
Bai Jiao was puzzled. "Sense it?"
Xie Sen smiled. "It's not easy to explain. It has something to do with my animal pattern."
Bai Jiao nodded. Long Teng stared at the map for a while. He raised his hand and pointed at the big planet not far from where Xie Sen had marked. "I've been here before. This is Planet Blue. There's a lot of water there. It's very fun!"
Xie Sen's eyes lit up. He quickly asked, "When you passed by this area, did you see any planets?"
Long Teng touched the back of his head and smiled. "I don't remember. I went there two years ago. I've been to many places with my father and father. I might have been sleeping at that time."
Xie Sen said helplessly, "Looks like we have to ask the people at the observatory for help. We can use a telescope to observe it."
"We can drive our own spaceship. Won't we know when we get there?" Long Teng's eyes lit up. "Exploring is more interesting, isn't it?"
MeiIn glanced at him. "If we don't set the route well, we'll get lost in the universe."
"Is that so?" Long Teng's eyes turned. "Then I'll ask my father. He drove the spaceship to Planet Blue. He might have an impression of this area."
"Your father knows how to drive a spaceship?" Xie Sen was surprised. From what he knew, driving a spaceship required extremely advanced technology. It was especially high-end.
"Of course, he's very good. He taught me how to drive a spaceship himself." Long Teng raised his eyebrows proudly. He opened his bracelet and contacted Long Yu. Long Yu picked up the call very quickly. "Brat, what's up?"
Long Teng was used to his father's "pet name". He asked directly, "Father, we went to Planet Blue two years ago. Are there any small planets near Planet Blue?"
"Are you trying to make fun of me? I can't even count the number of planets I've been to in a year with both hands. How can I remember a small planet? "
Long Teng muttered, "Father's memory is too bad."
"You …" Long Yu was about to scold his son with words when he suddenly stopped. Then, An Ming's gentle voice came from the other side. "Teng, are you talking about the vicinity of Planet Blue?"
"Yes, Father!"
An Ming said, "Wait a moment. I'll look through the album from two years ago." He smiled. "When I was traveling with you guys, I would take photos as souvenirs. There should be related photos."
"Baby/Father, you're so nice." Long Yu and Long Teng said at the same time.
"Brat, your father is mine. Don't disturb us." Long Yu warned. An Ming reminded him, "Yu, I've said before. Be gentle with your son."
Long Teng smiled brightly. "Father and Father are both very nice."
Long Yu snorted proudly. An Ming chuckled. After a while, he said, "Found it. Wow, it looks very beautiful now. There are a total of three small planets of different colors. I'll send you the photos."
The sound of a message notification came. Long Teng said, "Thank you, Father."
An Ming asked, "Why are you looking for these planets?"
"I want to go there!" Long Teng said excitedly. "It'll be fun to go with A Sen!"
Long Yu said, "Don't fool around. There's no public spaceship station there."
"I know how to fly a spaceship. Father, you taught me personally!" Long Teng was not worried at all.
Long Yu said seriously, "It'll take at least four days to get there from Planet Blue. There's no fixed route. You can use Planet Blue's route and adjust your position nearby to reach your destination. But do you know how to do it? Can you fly for four consecutive days by yourself? It's not fun to have an accident in the universe. You're not allowed to go. "
Sen could not help but frown when he heard this. It was not easy to reach the place where the wood energy was. It seemed that they might have to hire a spaceship pilot.
Long Teng pouted. "Father! I want to go. I want to go. I must go. I know how to calculate the route. As for a pilot, Father, you must have a way, right? You just need someone to take my place. Father, you're the best! "
Long Yu laughed and scolded, "Where did you learn to pester people? I don't see your father pestering me … Hey, baby, don't hit me …"
An Ming said, "Long Teng, we'll arrange for a suitable person to accompany you. When you go home tomorrow, I'll check if you really know how to calculate the route. I'll also test your ability to fly a spaceship. If you don't pass, my words just now will be nullified. You're not allowed to go either. "
"Don't worry, Father. I'm super awesome!" Long Teng said. "I'll go back tomorrow."
After hanging up, Long Teng opened the photo An Ming sent. The most eye-catching one in the photo was a blue planet, Planet Blue. In front of it were three small planets.
"A Sen, which one are you talking about?"
Xie Sen looked at the small planets of different colors and pointed at the nearest green planet. He remembered that A Dan had said that it was a planet with many plants. "It should be this one, but I'm not completely sure."
Long Teng said, "Then we'll go to this one first. We can change the route temporarily."
The four of them finished dinner and went home separately.
