“Wei’an, come here and try the breakfast I made.”
Papar Xing, who had just brought out breakfast, called out to Wei’an as he came down from the stairs.
“Okay.” Wei’an quickly came down, stood on tiptoes and looked at the table. “Xingxing made so much, that’s amazing.”
“I think I have a talent for cooking,” Papar Xing said with a smile.
For some reason today, he suddenly took an interest in cooking and called Quan Yan(2nd brother), Quan Fan, and Quan Ci over early in the morning.
Quan Ci didn’t want to go, but when faced with the smiling Papar Xing inviting him, his instincts told him it was better to obediently show up.
At that moment, he suddenly felt that taking a break after graduation wasn’t really necessary.
When Alhandra came down and learned that the dishes were made by Papar Xing, he cautiously did not move his chopsticks after experiencing the encounter on his last birthday.
Based on their understanding and speculation about Papar Xing, Quan Yan and the others didn’t think he would be able to make any delicious dishes.
Wei’an, the only one who was defenseless among them, happily took a piece of food and put it into his mouth. As soon as the food came into his mouth, Quan Yan and the others could see with their naked eyes the expression on Wei’an’s face changed from happiness to one bitter melon.
Just as Wei’an was about to spit it out, he turned and saw Papar Xing looking at him expectantly.
Wei’an, who was afraid that he would be sad, hesitantly chewed a few bites of the food in his mouth, trying to force himself to swallow, but the strange taste in his mouth made his little brows furrow together.
Alhandra glanced at Papar Xing who was acting weird, and patted Wei’an on the back, “If it doesn’t taste good, just spit it out. Don’t force yourself.”
Hearing the male father’s words, Wei’an carefully spat the food into a plate meant for scraps and then grabbed a cup of water to drink down a few gulps.
After finishing the water, he explained to Papar Xing, “The food was too hot; Wei’an spit it out because it burned the mouth.”
Xingxing was tricking him, he had no talent for cooking at all!
Though it was regrettable, Papar Xing could only watch as his dish was taken away.
Seeing this scene, Wei’an let out a small sigh of relief, his little appearance making Quan Yan and the others want to laugh.
After finishing the meal, Wei’an began eagerly awaiting his friends to gather.
The male father had said two days ago that today he would take them to Snow Star, and Shang You, Quan Yu, and Quan Fan had already asked for a leave of absence for themselves.
Wei’an was very happy that everyone was going out to play together. There was a tiny sparkle in his blue eyes, which made Quan Yan and the others who were looking at him couldn’t help but look forward to this trip.
Chu Yi was the first to arrive. As soon as he was spotted by Wei’an, who had been waiting for them for a long time, he ran up and took his hand with his eyes bent, “Shang You and the others haven’t come yet, we have to wait a bit longer.”
“Uh-huh.” Chu Yi, slightly out of breath, looked intently at Wei’an’s still-chubby face with his dark eyes.
He really didn’t expect that they would invite him to go out to play. He should have refused; he should have been using all his time to gather the resources that would allow him and Uncle Alda to survive in the Zerg.
But those bright blue eyes were so pure that when they sparkled with joy and anticipation as they looked at him, he just couldn’t bring himself to say no.
As soon as Shang You and the others arrived, they gave Wei’an a big hug and then started discussing where they would go.
“I checked on StarNet, the Snow Star we’re going to is a planet very far from Kato Star,” Shang You said.
“It seems like it snows there all year round.”
“Snows?” Wei’an’s blue eyes were filled with curiosity, “What is snow like?”
“I don’t know,” Naiman shook his head; he had never seen snow either.
“Chu Yi, you came from outside, do you know?” Cole’s question drew all their gazes to him.
“Snow is like big, white petals falling from the sky that melt when they touch the ground.” Facing seven pairs of curious eyes, Chu Yi tried to describe what snow was like in terms they could understand, “At that time, a cold wind will whistle, and everything in the world will be covered in white; it’s very cold, very white, and very beautiful.”
They set off with anticipation for the snow described by Chu Yi.
………
On the starship, Wei’an nestled in his male father’s embrace, looking like a complete curious baby, “Has the male father been to Snow Star before?”
“Yes.”
“Did you go with the female father and brothers?” Wei’an asked.
Alhandra supported his leaning head with one hand and pondered for a moment before replying, “I went with my male father.”
Back then, the male father often secretly took him to various planets with unique landscapes to play, even though some of those planets were quite dangerous. He would disguise himself and Alhandra as a female zerg and then sneak onto those planets.
The farthest place he had ever been was a Merman planet next to the Zerg, a world mostly covered in ocean with very little land area.
The boundless sea nurtured countless beautiful creatures, and they dove into the deep sea to see the sunlight beneath the waves, witnessed gigantic fish leaping out of the water, and marveled at the dazzling colors refracted by the splashes.
The male father said his eyes were as beautiful as the ocean and possessed all the traits of the sea, such as calmness, tolerance, and tenacity…
“Male father’s male father?” Wei’an tilted his head and asked with his identical wide eyes, “Where did he go? Why hasn’t Wei’an seen him?”
“He was taken away by the Zerg God.”
“Why did the Zerg God take him?”
“Because he was too good, so the Zerg God wanted to keep him by their side.”
“Then he must be very, very good.” Wei’an, not knowing when he had taken off his shoes, looked down at his small feet and asked again, “What does the Zerg God look like?”
Alhandra pinched his soft little foot, “I don’t know.”
As they chatted about the male father, Wei’an fell asleep. Seeing him sleeping soundly, Alhandra felt drowsy too and simply lay down to sleep with him.
……
After two days, they finally arrived at the Snow Star. Before getting off the spaceship, Wei’an was wrapped into a round bundle by Alhandra.
“Male father, why do I have to wear this?” Wei’an asked, feeling the thick, fluffy clothes covering him, a look of confusion on his pale little face.
“Because the Snow Star is very cold, and wearing this will keep you warm.”
“Why isn’t male father wearing it?”
“Because the male father is already an adult and isn’t afraid of the cold.” Alhandra coaxed him while putting light blue fluffy earmuffs on him.
After everything was ready, looking at Wei’an, who was wobbling while walking, a smile appeared in Alhandra’s eyes. He suddenly understood his own male father’s evil intentions before. As expected, a little male cub dressed like this is really too provocative. So cute.
As soon as Wei’an stepped off the spaceship, he was surrounded by Shang You and the others.
“Why are you dressed like that, Wei’an?” Shang You asked curiously.
Seeing Shang You and the others dressed normally, Wei’an raised his hand to touch his head, but because of the thick clothing, he couldn’t reach it. After a few attempts, he gave up and seriously said, “Male father said little male cubs should wear this on the Snow Star.”
“But we have constant temperature-controlled energy rings, so we don’t need to—mmf mmf.”
Papar Xing suddenly covered Shang You’s mouth. Looking at Wei’an’s outfit, he felt so cute. He said with a smile, “Little male cubs need to dress like this to be safe in this environment. Shang You and the others just forgot to wear theirs; they’ll go put them on right now.”
Alhandra handed the clothes that had been prepared by Shang Ying and others. Shang You, Krillochuan, and the others, including Quan Yu and Cen Wei, were forced to put on identical outfits as Wei’an.
When Alhandra’s eyes fell on Chu Yi, Chu Yi turned around silently to express his refusal. The more time he spent with Alhandra, the more he felt that this male zerg named Alhandra was full of bad taste.
As soon as we stepped out of the star port, a cold wind and large, chilly snowflakes rushed towards them.
Wei’an, who had grown up on Kato Star where there was no winter, widened his eyes in surprise, looking as if he had never seen the world before.
Alhandra took them to the foot of a steep snow-capped mountain, where silver snow cascaded in the mountain streams, giving them a sense of purity that cleansed the soul.
In the snow, the laughter of several little cubs wrapped like a ball floated in the air. Wei’an’s knees sank into the thick snow with each step he took.
“Wei’an, come here.” Quan Yan suddenly waved to him.
Seeing his brother calling him, Wei’an pulled out his feet that were stuck in the snow and came to him with great effort. He looked up with his pink and tender face and asked, “What is it?”
Quan Yan wiped the snow water off his nose, smiled at the pure dependence in his eyes, and gently lifted Wei’an before letting go. Wei’an, who was wrapped like a ball, instantly fell into the snow, with only his small head exposed.
Wei’an was stunned for a moment, then he giggled when he came back to his senses. His eyes were bent into slits with laughter on his soft face. While laughing, he called Shang You and the others to come and see that he had been eaten by the snow.
Quan Yan, who successfully buried Wei’an in the snow, filmed the scene, and Quan Ci and Quan Fan silently took out their terminals.
Cen Wei, who was trailing at the back, saw this scene, sat down in the snow, reached out to pull Wei’an out, and dusted off the snow on him.
After being pulled up, Wei’an hugged Quan Yan’s leg, his voice soft as he said, “It’s fun, Wei’an wants to play more.”
“I’ll take you to play something even more fun,” Quan Yan said, picking Wei’an up and placing him on Quan Ci’s back, then told Quan Ci, “What are you waiting for? Fly!”
Quan Ci looked at Quan Yan and then at Wei’an, who was eagerly looking at him.
With no way to refuse Wei’an, he unfurled his massive bone wings. In Wei’an’s exclamations, he slightly bent his knees, pushed off with his left foot, and flapped his wings to take off.
Not far away, Alhandra and Papar Xing’s eyes were drawn to the scene.
In the snow-white sky and earth, a female zerg with its bony wings spread, quickly and swiftly shuttled through the snow landscape at low altitude.
The unintentional yet ubiquitous sense of pressure emanating from the female zerg was shattered by the cheerful laughter of the little male cub on his back, “Hahaha, brother, hurry up, brother Quan Yan is catching up!”
Wei’an looked back at Quan Yan, who was chasing them with his wings spread wide, and shouted, urging Quan Ci to go faster.
Infected by Wei’an’s laughter and excited shouts, Quan Ci yelled, “Hold on tight!”
Then they soared towards the cliff, climbing steeply upwards, with large flurries of snowflakes falling on their faces. Wei’an’s eyes squinted slightly as the snowflakes obscured his vision, yet his youthful laughter resonated through the wind and snow.
Watching this scene, the usually composed Quan Fan couldn’t help but unfurl his bone wings to join in, while Quan Yu, not wanting to fall behind, also spread his small wings and took off.
He wanted his brother to ride on his back too, he could take his brother flying.
Having anticipated this, Shang Yan took off before Shang You could speak, leaving Shang You behind in frustration.
They weaved through tall trees, soared over high mountain cliffs, glided past wind-swept lakes, accompanied by the clear, youthful laughter, freely traversing the silver-white expanse.
Cen Wei, who also had bone wings, sat lazily against the tree root, watching the scene with half-open eyes.
“Go try it out.” Alhandra suddenly appeared behind Chu Yi and patted his shoulder.
Chu Yi shook his head. This was the first time he spoke about these things to anyone other than Uncle Alda, but he didn’t feel embarrassed. “I have Zerg genes, but I don’t have bone wings.”
“You do,” Alhandra stated with certainty.
Chu Yi looked up to meet his ocean-like eyes. At this moment, those eyes did not have the bad taste and carelessness he had seen before, but were gentle and patient, like an elder.
“I still don’t know what the Zerg in charge of this matter is doing. They haven’t told you about it until now,” Alhandra poked the zerg pattern on Chu Yi’s cheek, speaking lightly, “You don’t think the genes and bodies of other races can withstand our Zerg genes, do you?”
“As the top beings in the galaxy, no race can stand shoulder to shoulder with us in terms of physical strength, and our genes are the same. High-level genes can easily accommodate lower-level ones, but it’s a fantasy for lower-level genes to accommodate high-level ones.”
“Remember, you are a female zerg; you were just stolen away by them due to some accident and fused with some lower-level genes.” Alhandra’s posture remained proud throughout.
From his demeanor, Chu Yi understood another side of the Zerg. They were so proud, as if in their dictionary, words like inferiority and submission had been completely eradicated.
It turns out that I am a female zerg!
So he belongs to such a proud, protective, and domineering race!
He raised his hand to touch the zerg pattern on his left cheek and the scales on the other side. If you asked him how he felt inside right now, his answer would be confusion and unreality.
Beneath that confusion and unreality was a hint of joy and relief.
……
After playing until he was tired, Wei’an climbed down from his brother’s back and went to his male father’s side. Noticing Chu Yi standing on the cliff, he asked curiously, “Male father, what is he doing?”
Alhandra looked at Wei’an’s innocent face and replied, “He’s breaking free from his cocoon.”
“Breaking free from his cocoon?”
“Yes.”
“What does it mean to break free from a cocoon?”
“It means to escape from the cage and ropes that bind you.”
“Does Chu Yi have ropes on him? Wei’an can’t see them!”
“A young male cub can’t see them.”
“Hmph, Wei’an is already grown up.”
Standing on the cliff thousands of feet high, Chu Yi’s dark eyes gazed silently downward. This was his own way of breaking free of the cocoon that he came up with and decided to implement, so desperate and determined.
The moment he stood still, he jumped down without any hesitation.
