Fluff all over the stars

Meng Qiaoxi was awakened by the pressure of the little meat mountain on her chest. The little snow leopard in her arms before going to bed was gone, and it was replaced by a heavy little lion at some point, staring at it with a pair of clear yellow eyes. with him.

"Cough, cub, you've crushed me—"

Adela regained her senses, quickly got up and moved aside, and carefully stretched out her claws to step on Meng Qiaoxi's chest.

"What were you doing just now?" Meng Qiaoxi rubbed her sleepy black hair and sat up, "Did you bully my brother again?"

Adela tilted her head.

Meng Qiaoxi laughed and squeezed it with his hands. This little lion is extremely domineering. If he hadn't been reasoned out in private, he wouldn't even give up the opportunity of nap time to other children.

"Did you forget the cat's paw sleeping mat I bought for you? It's something that other children don't have. I told you that other cubs will be picked up sooner or later—"

The little lion whined, and tapped the human's finger with its slightly sharp teeth. Meng Qiaoxi soon felt a bit itchy and wet.

He hastily pulled out his fingers, "When did you get such a habit? Obedient children never eat their hands. Be good, cub."

Adela has long lost the reservedness of a high-level evolutionary with humans, and only wants to use all intimacy methods to get close to him.

And at the latest tonight, they have to set off.

Barron will send them to Aurora, and everything after that is unknown.

Adela had a faint premonition that she was about to lose her horse, but she didn't know when this moment would come, and what reaction and attitude Meng Qiaoxi would have at that time...he didn't know either.

For so many years, this was the first time he felt a little fear in the face of the unknown, but in fact, even he himself didn't know what he was afraid of.

For humans, he seems to have gradually lost the reason and judgment that a high-level evolutionary should have, leaving only a hazy emotion that cannot be explained clearly.

It was just after lunch time, and Barron was already preparing the travel needs for Meng Qiaoxi. Except for some clothes, he had prepared no less than seven or eight pieces of information, all of which were from Aubrey's private storage. Great stuff to spare.

The Aurora Star simulated the living environment of their distant ancestors. It is a planet covered by artificial snow and artificial glaciers. Although a similar living environment has been forged, the temperature is not particularly low, basically kept at about [-] degrees, compared to Qizhu Xing is comparable to the weather in midsummer, and it can be called cool and pleasant here.

Even so, Barron still specially prepared several sets of non-heavy coats for humans, and when he was about to close the space, he worriedly stuffed a few thin cashmere scarves into it.

If it's not a secret mission this time, Aurora is actually a very suitable planet for interstellar travel, Barron secretly thought.

After packing up the basic supplies, he walked out of the living room to the spacious lawn.

"Sir."

Hearing the sound, Meng Qiaoxi raised her head, still holding the ball of bell yarn she made a few days ago, "What's wrong?"

Baron said, "Mr. Colin has a message."

"Huh?" Meng Qiaoxi stood up with one hand and replied, "Colin??"

It's been a long time since I've heard this name, and he couldn't react for a while.

"Yes, Lord Colin said that he would be able to come back in a few days, but he was suddenly caught up in some things. He contacted me to see if he could help send his pet there—"

"It's been a while, Lord Colin may miss him a little... Uh, little tiger." Barron said in words.

The incident happened suddenly, and the Marshal and the others really had no other choice, otherwise they would not let him hide anything from Mr. Xiao, and staying on the main star might not be safe, it might as well keep them under the noses of these adults all the time. , Barron coincided with the ideas of several furry bosses.

Meng Qiaoxi was startled, with a complicated expression on her face, "You mean, Er Zai... is going home?"

The furry scattered on the lawn couldn't help raising their hearts. When they were in human form, they were rational, but when they turned into larvae, they were always controlled by the most real feelings.

They don't want to see human beings lost.

Barron hummed, "Probably, so."

Barron said that Colin will not be back for the time being, and Meng Qiaoxi can understand that, after all, he is such a big man, so he must be very busy at work.Although he had prepared for a long time, Meng Qiaoxi still felt an unavoidable feeling of emptiness in his heart when he really wanted to send away Furry, who had been raised for such a long time.

The little tiger is so naive, so cute.

He nodded and said, "Okay, I see, but—Which planet is Mr. Colin now? Can you get there by the last spaceship?"

Baron breathed a sigh of relief before saying, "Yes, it's not very far from the main star, and it can be reached in half a day."

Meng Qiaoxi: "Okay, then help me prepare. If you are in a hurry, I can take the little tiger out in the afternoon."

Barron wanted to nod at first, but suddenly thought of something, and he asked hesitantly, "Should I just bring one?"

Meng Qiaoxi was silent for a while, "Don't you just send it back?"

In half a day, if you don't stop on the road, you can come back before twelve o'clock in the evening. There are so many furry children at home, they are too clingy to themselves, Meng Qiaoxi is a little worried.

Barron's expression was a little stiff. He really felt that he should ask the marshal to give him more salary, so as to comfort his sudden increase in accident handling ability during this period of time.

"Actually, that planet is a very special planet, very distinctive. Since Mr. Xiao is going this trip, he can also take the cubs to visit the local area..."

Meng Qiaoxi noticed something strange at this moment, it was the first time that he stopped smiling in front of this considerate housekeeper.

"Butler Barron."

Barron straightened his back unconsciously, as if he had been called by the marshal.

"Actually, sometimes when you think about it, your words are quite contradictory." Meng Qiaoxi said.

As soon as his thoughts were cleared up, Meng Qiaoxi realized many issues that he had overlooked before. For example, this all-round high-intelligence butler never asked him which planet he was from or what jobs he had done before. In the eyes of the housekeeper, it was as if there was no quality, and the other party even tried his best to take care of himself without any adulteration——

But the only ones who knew something about him were the little animals who had been with her all the time. Only in front of these innocent cubs would Meng Qiaoxi unconsciously murmur some doubts.

A few days ago, the housekeeper who was extremely nervous even when he went to the bustling neighborhood of the same planet, now encouraged himself to take an unknown interstellar trip.

What made Meng Qiaoxi even more terrified was that he thought he had hidden the black vest of a foreigner, but it had already been dropped in a strange gesture without noticing it.

Meng Qiaoxi has never felt as uneasy as this time. He doesn't want to be vague anymore. If he really wants to find the answer to these questions, he must bring out the idealistic thoughts that were suppressed in his heart before.

Being looked at by humans with suspicious eyes, Barron was about to break out in a cold sweat, and the adults who saw the larva from the corner of his eye also stood up straight without any trace.

At this moment of nervousness, everyone felt that their vests were about to fall off.

Meng Qiaoxi suddenly bent down to pick up the lion cub who was closest to her, and stared at him with black eyes. Adela's tail stiffened, and she swallowed quietly.

Evolvers at their level have long been accustomed to issuing orders and then executing them, but they have forgotten the crucial link between them.

Human beings who have been "arranged" are willing to cooperate with all this.

If they are rejected by the other party, no matter how good an excuse is, the only way to wait for them is to lose the horse on the spot.

Adela looked at Meng Qiaoxi's faintly serious face. This kind of thinking is still stuck in human beings 1 years ago. Can an evolutionary with super common sense really be accepted?

Will it be frightened, and will the other party's short and unstable lifespan be affected by this extremely stimulating thing...

Barron, who was the only one present who could speak, seemed to have his throat blocked. He even lowered his head in shame, feeling deeply that telling a lie would require countless other lies to make up for it.

Meng Qiaoxi looked at the inexplicably silent Barron with strange eyes, and then turned his gaze to Adela in his hand again. He hugged the lion cub and turned around to sit down on the reclining chair in the courtyard. Others who had been with him in the past A few fluffy ones stayed in place as if petrified.

Meng Qiaoxi patted the large reclining chair, "Cubs, come here."

Colin was stunned for a moment, but after hearing this familiar call, he still walked over with the other two.

"Butler Barron, please bring me a pen and a piece of paper."

Baron paused, and obediently followed suit. They didn't know what the human beings wanted to do, but the other party didn't say such scary words at the moment, and the stagnant atmosphere was still slightly relaxed.

Meng Qiaoxi took the pen and paper handed over by Barron, first squeezed Adela who was placed on her lap, and then began to immerse herself in writing and drawing. Others did not dare to peek, so they could only wait in silence with.

After about a few minutes, they heard the other party say a word, "Okay, big boy, you come first."

Adela doesn't know why, come on?what? ?

Meng Qiaoxi tapped the table with a pen, "Basic IQ test, I need to verify some guesses."

Adela: "...!"

Barron and others: "!!!"

Is this channel turning a bit fast? ?Basic... IQ test? ? ?

Meng Qiaoxi didn't care about Barron's expression as if he had seen a ghost, and reached out to pick up the stunned little lion on the table, then raised the paper in his hand, and pointed to the first line of words with the tip of his pen, "Look, I know the answer to the first question." answer?"

Adela rolled his eyes stiffly, and saw a line of familiar text. The text was a multiple-choice question, and the question couldn't be simpler, so simple that he could choose the correct option at a glance.

Meng Qiaoxi spoke again: "Last time I went out and bought you a sleeping mat. Now there are four options. Let's see which one is yours?"

Meng Qiaoxi had completely given up on the picture questions and switched directly to more complex text. His intuition told him that since it is very likely that they can understand human speech, these future pets might also be able to understand text. Meng Qiaoxi thought for a while, Added a sentence.

"Big cub, if you can really understand what I say, think it over before you answer. You only have one chance. Although there is no reward for the correct answer, but now I will find out after the wrong answer...you can move it with your mat Go to the living room to sleep, and change other children to the master bedroom."

Adela's eyes widened. This threat really hit the sore spot, making him put his paws on the third option regardless of other concerns.

There are exactly three words there: cat paw pads.

Only then did Barron dare to take a sneak peek, and saw all kinds of wrong options, such as chicken paw pads, dog paw pads, and even a cunning and confusing option: heart pads.

……

He covered his face, feeling that this scene was magical.

Barron finally realized that Mr. Xiao did notice something was wrong, but he still didn't think that beasts could turn into humans. He guessed that animals in the future would have the intelligence of humans. Apart from not being able to speak human language, what else would they have? understand.

...well, in a way it does.

Meng Qiaoxi took a deep breath, moved the pen down and pointed to the next question. Adela glanced at the human beings secretly, and then carefully pointed with her paw.

That line is, which is your breed?

The bottom one happened to be the options corresponding to the four cubs. Meng Qiaoxi poked her head over and saw that it was very good, and she did it right again.

There are not many questions, and the last one is left. Meng Qiaoxi reminded again: "Review the questions carefully."

In the words, I have been completely convinced that "pets" can understand such things as words, and Adela has gradually begun to let go of herself. Forget it, let me reveal a little bit first. If this person can accept animal literacy, he will accept animal evolution It shouldn't be too difficult... right.

He chose the correct answer in a flash of thought.

Barron looked again, and the cold sweat was really about to break out. Marshal, you are on the verge of falling off the horse, and you are frantically testing yourself, why do you want to pull him on! ! !

Colin poked his head out boldly, and saw that the last line of text turned out to be asking the butler if he knew all of this?

He glanced at Barron sympathetically, alas, such an owner at the booth is really...

Meng Qiaoxi was silent for a long time this time. He put away this "test paper" and looked at Barron, "It's all too unbelievable, isn't it, but it's purely for me, for Butler Barron, These are the most basic common sense."

"No wonder you know some of my demands. It turns out that there is such a little spy behind—"

Barron hurriedly said, "Little Mister..."

Meng Qiaoxi raised his hand to stop him, "I don't mean to blame anyone, I can see and feel your sincerity, to be honest, I have never received such good care before. , you just concealed some things for unknown reasons, and it didn't really offend me."

When Meng Qiaoxi said this, he smiled and eased the tense atmosphere.

"In retrospect, if I had known these things from the beginning, I might not have accepted them so quickly, and I might have been frightened... Actually, I'm quite timid." Meng Qiaoxi laughed at herself.

"How come, Mr. Xiao is very brave and kind—" Barron comforted from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you for your compliment, Butler Barron." Meng Qiaoxi returned the pen and paper to him, then looked at the other cubs who were unusually quiet, "I won't check the rest, I know you can understand me .”

This time, Meng Qiaoxi did not let go of the momentary condensed inspiration. He vaguely felt that this was just a veil of this mysterious interstellar world, and perhaps he had fallen into a misunderstanding from the very beginning.

The future who speaks the same language as him... People, are they really the same species as him?

Is the strange and unique shape of future people really just the result of genetic mutation?Or, that's what they were like.

Are they really all human?

Meng Qiaoxi suppressed the palpitations in her chest and persuaded herself to accept the facts before she spoke.

"Okay, Butler Barron, since you said that the planet is very suitable for playing, then take all these cubs with you, and just take a look at the scenery of other planets."

Only then did Barron feel a little relieved.

Meng Qiaoxi looked at Barron's obviously relieved look and his eyes darkened. The housekeeper clearly knew that he had a problem, but he never mentioned it. Apart from the fact that he might have communicated with the pets, there are many other things. It doesn't make sense at all.

Although I don't know why the other party didn't tell the truth, since the future housekeeper who cared about him didn't intend to tell, there is only one possibility.

That truth must not be what he wants to see, at least Barron feels that he cannot accept it now.

The vest of his immigrant family has almost fallen off with this housekeeper. Meng Qiaoxi simply stopped deceiving himself and said directly, "Get ready and see what the cubs need to bring. Bring them together."

Barron coughed twice in embarrassment, "Actually... everything is ready."

Meng Qiaoxi: "..."

Well, it turned out that I was alone.

He originally wanted to reach out to pick up the lion cub and go back to the living room as usual, but he withdrew his hand after thinking of something, rolled his eyes around and finally didn't hold the cub, and walked back by himself.

And Adela, who was supposed to enjoy the super-level treatment, was almost overflowing with depression, and that strange feeling came again, and the hands that stretched out and retracted really made him extremely uneasy.

Thinking of this, he didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and quickly took small steps to chase into the house.

Barron looked at the adults who stayed where they were thinking, and heaved a long sigh.

I hope this trip to the Aurora Star will go smoothly.

When Meng Qiaoxi came to this world, she really had only clothes on her body and nothing else. When she returned to the bedroom, she didn't know what to bring until she saw the familiar silver belt by the bed. He just found something for himself to do.

He bent down and picked up this thing called an information convergent device, turned around and walked to the bathroom.

In any case, this thing is a must.

I don't know when the lion cub that came in walked around her legs step by step, but Meng Qiaoxi was not yet mentally prepared to face a high-intelligence animal that could understand human language. Cubs lack nothing more than themselves.

Standing in front of the sink in the bathroom, a water mirror automatically appeared on the opposite side. Meng Qiaoxi looked at herself in the mirror and raised her hand to put on the restraint carefully. Seemingly unable to wait any longer, he climbed onto the edge of the sink in one jump.

Meng Qiaoxi was taken aback, and quickly stretched out her arms to wrap her arms around the cub.

He pursed his lips, still couldn't bear to be awkward with a furry, besides it was so small and had been with him for so long.

"Forget it, what are you fussing about with a cub—but let me tell you, if you keep hiding it from me next time, I'll be really angry," Meng Qiaoxi curled up her fingers and tapped Adela's head , "You can understand me clearly, you little liar!"

Adela, who just settled down: "..."

To tell you the truth, I haven't taken off my thickest vest yet.

After wearing the constrictor, Meng Qiaoxi pushed the door out. Barron was waiting in the living room with a small object in his hand. Seeing him coming out, he hurriedly said, "Sir, this is a personal terminal for expedited delivery. can be used."

Meng Qiaoxi paused and asked, "When was it delivered?"

"This morning."

It's such a coincidence again, it seems that every time he makes a big move, Barron will take out one or two things, last time it was an information convergent device, this time it is a terminal that is necessary for interstellar personnel.

Meng Qiaoxi no longer expected that the terminal could find anything. Since it could be sent to him, it meant that some things inside must have been blocked, and only some basic functions were left to be used.

When Baron introduced him, it turned out to be similar to what Meng Qiaoxi guessed.

"I have already transferred all your previous accounts to this one. With the terminal, you can use it freely as long as it is within the federal territory."

Meng Qiaoxi hummed to express that he knew that he and the housekeeper were in a very delicate state. He didn't know what the other party was hiding, but the other party seemed to know all his secrets.

Barron smiled as gently as possible, "Just wear it on your wrist. If you feel in the way, you can also choose the invisible state. There is a red button on the left side of the terminal. Press it once for emergency contact. If you press it twice, it will automatically turn on the invisible state. Differential attacks can be regarded as some preventive measures used by the Federation to protect the safety of citizens."

This terminal, Barron, was checked by Adela, and it was impeccable in terms of appearance, defense, and touch. Master Aubrey's three consecutive nights of extra shifts were not in vain.

Meng Qiaoxi turned her wrist, and sure enough, she saw a hidden red button, which looked like a bright red mole on the milky white terminal, which was too conspicuous.

"Thank you, Butler Barron."

Barron shook his head, "It's all what I should do, yes, and this."

and also? ?

"This is a space twist. You can wear it on your finger. There are some basic reserves and clothes that need to be changed. You can use your fingerprint to unlock what you need." Barron gave a lot of instructions carefully, and finally said: " Mr. Xiao must remember that no matter what time, you must keep a cub by your side."

After the test just now, some things don’t need to be covered up like before. Barron simply broke the can and finished the whole story. He only hopes that the day Mr. Xiao knows the truth of the matter, he can forgive himself for being forced to conceal it.

Meng Qiaoxi looked at the cubs nestled on the sofa obediently and neatly. They were so soft and fluffy that he couldn't quite understand Barron's last sentence.

But no matter what, I am a novice, and I can never go wrong listening to other aborigines.

Meng Qiaoxi carefully memorized the other party's instructions until he walked out of the gate and saw a spaceship that was completely different from last time.

This spaceship is bigger and more majestic than last time, and its whole body is black like a streamer. It is a very cool future spaceship. Barron smiled helplessly when he received Meng Qiaoxi's eyes and was about to speak. But the opponent took the lead.

"It's okay, if you don't know how to say it, don't say it." Meng Qiaoxi said.

How could this kind of spaceship be leased? There is a high probability that it is Barron's own spaceship, or...he knows the owner of the spaceship.

I only hope that when I come back from delivering the little tiger cubs, I can see clearly the truth behind this layer of veil. Maybe then, Barron will tell him the secret about this "rescue center".

Several furries consciously lined up to get on the spaceship. Meng Qiaoxi hugged the cub and finally closed the tail. Barron closed the hatch of the spaceship with the control button, and then began to accumulate energy and start.

The spacecraft quickly and silently slid into a sky orbit.

Meng Qiaoxi looked at the mansion retreating rapidly, and suddenly realized that they seemed to have forgotten a question.

"Butler Barron..."

"what happened?"

"Uh, I don't seem to know which star we are going to?" Meng Qiaoxi hesitated.

Barron: "..."

The fear of being dominated by a falling horse made him completely forget the most important thing to tell. He said awkwardly: "It's a snow-white planet called Aurora Star, which is covered with artificial snow and glaciers all the year round. It is a beautiful tourist star." planet."

Aurora?

Meng Qiaoxi unconsciously rubbed the little lion's hairy head. Isn't the aurora the scenery that can be seen at the two poles of the earth?In the future, it has become the name of a planet, and apart from man-made, it even sounds similar to the environment.

"Is Colin working there temporarily?"

Baron nodded, "But you don't need to send the little tiger there right away. Lord Colin is a bit busy these days, so he may not be able to spare time to receive you right away."

Meng Qiaoxi understood: "It's okay, I'm just an ordinary person, and a person of his status must be too busy to touch the ground. How about this, tell me Mr. Colin's terminal number, and I will contact you when the time comes." he."

Barron could only send the real contact information to Meng Qiaoxi's terminal, and only hoped that Master Colin would find a chance to reply to Mr. Xiao's message.

The milky white terminal beeped, and Meng Qiaoxi lowered his head to save Colin's contact information, and looked out the window while stroking Furry.

This trip was full of bugs, and Meng Qiaoxi bundled these bugs together. His life experience of more than 20 years told him that some clues can be solved, but some things can’t be solved. Yes, it’s time to eat and play, and the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge. Maybe all the hidden truths will surface at some point.

It was almost mid-afternoon when we left the main star, and when the spaceship entered the universe, the surrounding area became even darker. Worried that human beings would be afraid of the sudden change in the environment, the furries consciously nestled up one by one, and then skillfully activated the emperor engine. Under such four layers of hypnosis plus constant temperature "blanket", Meng Qiaoxi soon became drowsy.

After a while, Barron felt something and looked sideways, and saw a familiar and tall human figure behind him carefully covering the human body with a thin quilt.

Since Mr. Xiao came, the marshal has really changed a lot.

After completing this series of actions, Adela turned and walked towards Barron, "The spaceship is docked near the military base of Aurora Star. There are troops stationed there, and they know my aircraft."

Barron respectfully replied yes.

This time, in order not to startle the enemy, the marshal did not even contact the army of the stars for the time being, but if the Aurora Necklace really cannot be found, I am afraid that the power of the army will be used...

The master and servant stopped talking, and tacitly maintained an absolutely quiet environment so that Meng Qiaoxi could rest at ease.

I don't know how long after that, a pure white planet appeared in sight. Adela had already nestled in Meng Qiaoxi's arms again. He shook his ears and heard the sound of the spaceship gradually slowing down and landing. sound.

Aurora, here we come.
