I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

When Qi Yan woke up again, he was on the spaceship. At that time, he was held in someone's hand and walked towards a room where various instruments were placed.

Qi Yan couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. He was sure that he was truly "awake". His consciousness had never been so clear before, so that he could now clearly analyze what would happen next.

Human anatomy? Biological experiments? Non-natural science research? Oh, he is an egg now...

After a moment of panic, Qi Yan calmed down.

This place is obviously not Earth, at least not the era where he lived before. The technology here is much more advanced than anything Qi Yan has ever seen. Has he come to the future?

But the most crucial question is, is he being held in someone's hands now?

While his thoughts were flying around, he concentrated his scattered perceptions into "eyes".

Qi Yan had long discovered that although he was just an egg now, as long as he concentrated, he could clearly "see" the outside world.

He quietly raised his head and looked upwards...

"do not move!"

A clear and pleasant voice seemed to ring in his ears, and then Qi Yan felt a chill on his body, and then he found himself placed in a glass container.

Qi Yan moved a little uncomfortably, then focused on looking at the source of the sound.

The first thing that caught my eye was a pair of long, straight legs, with black boots covering the lower part of the calves.

Qi Yan's gaze moved upwards, and unexpectedly met a pair of dark green eyes. Those eyes were surprisingly beautiful, and the stars seemed to be reflected in their calm and cold gaze.

Qi Yan was distracted for a moment, and then that nice voice sounded again: "It will be fine in a moment."

Then, Qi Yan felt a warm fingertip gently tapping his head. Then his eyes went dark, and an unknown hood blocked all the light.

When the light returned to his eyes, Qi Yan was lying on a soft cushion.

Next to the cushion was a hand with distinct joints. In front of the hand was an electronic glass board, on which flashed a series of data that Qi Yan could not understand.

Qi Yan watched as the slender fingertips moved across it, creating an elegant arc.

He shifted his gaze from the hand, and followed his gaze along the arm over the shoulder. The first thing he saw was the firm jaw, followed by the thin lips, the high nose bridge, the graceful eyes and the sharp brow bones.

The combination of these two words reminded Qi Yan of a melodramatic aria: How could there be such good-looking people in the world!

"Are you sleepy?" It was still that pleasant voice, clear and sharp, like a spring breeze wrapped in the scent of ice and snow, refreshing to the heart.

Qi Yan felt a little dizzy, and only later realized that the other party was talking to him. This discovery made him excited and nervous, and he couldn't help shaking all over.

He is talking to me. Does he know that I am a human? No, does he know that I can hear? Have I been reborn as some extraordinary species? Qi Yan thought.

The palm-sized egg rolled around on the blue cushion in an awkward manner, looking like a plump white glutinous rice ball.

Seeing this, the corner of the man's mouth seemed to curl slightly. He raised one hand to block the edge of the table, and quickly operated the detector with the other hand: "Wait a little longer."

Qi Yan's restless heart gradually calmed down. This person's voice inexplicably had a calming effect. He leaned towards the hand beside him inconspicuously, secretly absorbing the other's warmth.

The owner of the hand seemed to have noticed Qi Yan's little movement, and took the initiative to move closer, half-covering him in his palm.

His intention was discovered, and Qi Yan moved slightly uncomfortably. He secretly glanced upwards, and when he found that the other party's attention was not here, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then found a comfortable position to stay quietly.

The man looked at the display intently, his exquisite and perfect profile revealed to Qi Yan without reservation.

Only then did Qi Yan realize that the other person's skin was very white. Not the natural white, but a sickly pale color. Qi Yan was very familiar with this look.

Is he in poor health? Qi Yan thought.

As if to express the doubts in her heart, Qi Yan subconsciously rubbed the man's palm.

"What's wrong?" The man lifted Qi Yan up and held her in front of him. "There is no incubator prepared on the spacecraft. We will have to wait for the temporary modification."

Hatching? Hatching me? Qi Yan moved her body unconsciously. Yes, eggs can be hatched! So I... I... Thinking of this, Qi Yan was so excited that she was a little incoherent.

Having been soaking in the cold sea water for so long, he almost forgot that he was still alive, and he had no hope of breaking out of the shell and being reborn.

Now that he knows there is hope for the egg to hatch, he is naturally excited.

But then he thought of another problem. He was an egg, and he would never hatch a person...

Qi Yan felt a little disappointed when he realized this fact, but he quickly cheered up again.

Life is equal, and it is rare to have a chance to start over. What's more, the person who picked him up seems to be a powerful and good person. So even if he is a pet for life, he can have no worries about food and clothing and live a simple and happy life.

Although I was thinking this in my heart, there was another voice saying at the same time, but I was a human being in my previous life after all. No matter what I become, I still have human thinking inside. If possible, I also hope to communicate normally with others.

Qi Yan looked at the man's enlarged handsome face and fell into deep thought...

The fact that he talks to me shows that he knows I can understand him. Could it be that people of this era have evolved special abilities that allow them to communicate with other species through thought alone?

Can't I also see it by concentrating my attention? The more Qi Yan thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, so he decided to give it a try.

After formulating his thoughts in his mind, Qi Yan concentrated and organized his words:

"Hello, thank you for saving me."

"..."

"I'm from Earth. Do you know Earth?"

"..."

"Ah... Nice to meet you. My name is Qi Yan. What should I call you?"

"..."

Silence, deathly silence...

Well, he can't hear what I'm thinking. Qi Yan was discouraged. He looked listless, and even the luster of the eggshell dimmed a lot.

"Unhappy?" The man tapped the eggshell lightly with his slender fingertips.

Qi Yan moved perfunctorily, hiding herself between the man's fingers as if trying to cover up her ears and steal the bell, avoiding his touch, her unhappiness evident in her words.

"Heh~" a light laugh sounded beside her ears, excitingly making all the pores on Qi Yan's eggshell explode.

This man is not only good-looking, but his voice is also foul.

Qi Yan silently rolled her eyes and threw a silent tantrum, just like a kid who couldn't get any candy.

He also knew that his behavior was a bit childish, but he couldn't control it. The coldness that penetrated his bones when he was just reborn has always been with him. The unfamiliar environment and unpredictable future make him extremely uneasy.

Only when I am wrapped in a man's warm hands can I feel a little bit at ease.

He can accept the unknown and overcome fear, but he cannot endure a lifetime of loneliness.

If you are unable to communicate with others in this world and unable to integrate into the circle of people like you throughout your life, then until you die no one will know that you were once a human being with human thinking.

If I were the only outlier in the world, I would rather not be reborn...

The sad and negative emotions almost overwhelmed Qi Yan.

"Don't worry." The man touched the eggshell soothingly. His palms were warm, like the sunshine that dispels the haze in the cold winter.

You haven't turned into an egg, what do you know... do you... know that I'm uneasy? Qi Yan thought hesitantly.

Staring at the man's serious eyes, Qi Yan's hesitation slowly turned into certainty: He is serious, he can really feel my emotions, it's not my illusion!

It's like seeing an oasis in the desert, injecting hope into a life that is almost desperate.

Qi Yan realized this and her whole body was shaking with excitement.

People are like this. Many times what they lack is not the courage to face difficulties, but encouragement and companionship.

After figuring it out, Qi Yan was no longer anxious, and her confused heart calmed down a little.
