Future Shennong Space

The drinking experience is truly unforgettable.

Probably because this body hadn't touched alcohol yet, Ji Mingxiao felt dizzy after only two drinks, and his eyes were a little out of focus.Before he could figure out how to hangover, he had no memory of it.

It was the next morning when he woke up, and the moment he opened his eyes, he found a very frightening thing—this was not his room.

A strong arm was resting on his waist, and looking up along it, one could see Xiao's tough facial features.His closed eyes made him look less sharp than usual, and his expression softened a lot.

He was absent-minded for a moment, but he quickly realized that he and Xiao were on the same bed.

So, this is Shaw's room?

His head was still dizzy from the hangover, and it took him a while to remember that he seemed to have drunk yesterday.

So he was drunk?Then what happened?

There was a blank in his mind, he stopped for a while, and began to lift the quilt, ready to get up.

As if feeling his movements, the people around him moved, and then changed their postures. The arms around his waist also pulled him slightly closer, and pulled him directly into his arms.

Compared with Xiao's, his body size was quite different, so he was almost completely wrapped in Xiao's arms, and Xiao's chin was right against the top of his head.As if feeling the furry touch, Xiao rubbed the top of his head twice.

Ji Mingxiao's whole body was stiff and he didn't dare to move.

After a while, Xiao probably also woke up.He heard a low and hoarse voice above his head: "Good morning, Xiaoxiao."

Xiao took away the arms around his waist, he moved back slightly, came out of Xiao's arms, and then raised his head to meet Xiao's blue eyes, which were smiling and looked particularly charming.

He was absent-minded for a moment, then coughed lightly, "Good morning, Xiao."

After saying good morning to each other, Xiao lifted the quilt and got out of bed and started to take care of himself.The waistband of his pajama pants was loose, and when he took off his shirt, he could clearly see the waist line. The strong muscles and the beautiful waistcoat line made Ji Mingxiao's eyes straight.

Xiao opened the closet and took out a long-sleeved shirt to put on, and when he was about to take off his pajama pants, he looked up at Ji Mingxiao—he immediately looked away guiltily.

Xiao let out a low laugh, and quickly put on his pants.

"You were drunk yesterday, and I changed your pajamas for you." Xiao explained to him, "But then you insisted on clinging to someone, and started crying as soon as you left, so I brought you here."

Ji Mingxiao blushed slightly.It seems that he had this problem when he was on the earth. When he was drunk, he would hug people and never let them go.

It turns out that the problem has not changed after changing the body.

"That..." he said shyly, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, "No," he said with a smile, "it's quite interesting, almost like coaxing children."

Ji Mingxiao resisted the urge to bury himself with the quilt, jumped off the bed, hurriedly said that he would see you, then quickly slipped back to his room with his head down.

It was embarrassing enough to encounter such an embarrassing thing early in the morning. Fortunately, Xiao didn't say anything because of this, which made him feel more natural.

After breakfast, the two went shopping together.

There are still a few days before the new year in 3068 in the interstellar calendar. The streets of Giffel City have been replaced with new year decorations early, and the shops have also started various promotional activities for the new year.

There are many more people on the street than usual. Although shopping online is very convenient, many people still prefer to go shopping in person.

A few days ago, Albert's restaurant and Louis transferred the dividends agreed in the previous contract to his account almost at the same time, and the eight-figure figure almost didn't scare him to death.So in fact, he is also a master who is not short of money now, even if it is a mecha, he can buy a few - even if he can't drive it, he can collect it (≧≦)~

Of course, Ji Mingxiao didn't intend to do such a willful thing.

Although it is an interstellar calendar, in his mind, there are always New Year's goods for the New Year.It was rare that Xiao was also at home, so I dragged him out together.

In fact, he still has a small thought: it seems that Xiao has been taking care of him all the time, and has solved many problems for him. He also wants to see what Xiao likes when he comes out this time, and then choose a New Year's gift for him.

He once thought about whether to buy a mecha for Xiao, but Xiao is very powerful on the interstellar network, and he already has a mecha in reality. Judging from the space button of the mecha, it may still be customized—if he customizes the mecha, his Credit points are really not enough.

The two of them were walking on the commercial street, and he didn't notice that Xiao paid any special attention to anything along the way, but just followed him casually, as if he was shopping with him.

When they were shopping at the men's clothing store, the two stopped at the same time, and then Ji Mingxiao spoke first: "Let's go and see if there is any suitable one?"

Xiao nodded in agreement: "Okay."

There were several men's clothing stores of different brands nearby, and Ji Mingxiao took him into a store with a more mature style first.Xiao froze for a moment, then slightly raised the corners of his lips, allowing him to pull himself in.

Ji Mingxiao really didn't have much research on clothing.All his current clothes were selected by Sue before he came to Giffres. After arriving here, Amy also helped him choose two seasonal clothes.

Now the men's clothing in this store seemed to him to be similar in style except for the color, and he couldn't tell the difference between good and bad.

Seeing his embarrassed look, Xiao picked out two sets of clothes and changed them.

It can only be said that Xiao is a natural clothes hanger, no matter what clothes he wears, he is surprisingly suitable. In addition, he has a very good temperament, which is even inferior to the models displayed by the holographic projection next to him.

Ji Mingxiao stared at it, with a faint sense of pride.He urged Xiao to pick out a few more clothes to try on, and then paid for the ones he tried just now that he thought were pleasing to the eye.

After Xiao came out, he just raised his eyebrows and didn't refuse, which made his eyebrows curl up, and he was indescribably satisfied.

The two visited other stores one after another. Ji Mingxiao seemed to be addicted to how to dress Xiao, and he would buy everything that looked good on him.Xiao pampered him at the beginning, but later saw that he was going too far, so he stopped trying altogether.

"You should add some clothes to yourself." Seeing that the corners of his mouth began to bend downward, Xiao couldn't help reminding, "Didn't you realize that you have grown a lot taller?"

"Eh? Really?" The corners of his drooping mouth instantly turned up again at this sentence, and he stood beside Xiao for a comparison.Sure enough, originally he could only see Xiao's chest, but now he could vaguely reach his shoulders.

This discovery made him secretly happy for a long time, Xiao saw that he wanted to laugh but tried hard to hold back the look of indifference, and smiled a little, and then began to take him to those shops whose style suits him.

In the end, Xiao bought him a lot of clothes in the end.

Then they went to the supermarket again, one person was in charge of the shopping cart, and the other was responsible for getting things into it.The two discussed and bought a lot of things that might be used for the New Year, including some ingredients, condiments and some daily necessities.Ji Mingxiao didn't pay the bill until the car was full, and ended today's itinerary contentedly.

The things were delivered directly home by the delivery robot, and he only held a cup of hot drink he just bought in his hand-it has to be said that life is indeed more convenient now than when he was on Earth.

When he came out of the supermarket, Ji Mingxiao found that Xiao who had been by his side was not there.

He turned his head, and Xiao was holding the same cup as him in his hand, standing a few steps behind him and looking at him with an inexplicable expression on his face, but he could clearly see those deep blue eyes His eyes are full of softness.

Feeling that his cheeks tended to get hot again, he coughed and asked, "Why didn't you leave? Is there anything else you haven't bought?"

"No." Xiao shook his head slightly, the expression on his face returned to normal, and then he took a few steps to Ji Mingxiao's side with his long legs, and at the same time reached out to wrap his arms around his shoulders.

"Buy everything," he said, "let's go home."

-----------------------------------------

The next few days are all about getting ready for the new year.

Because of Vivi, there is no need to clean the house. After the greenhouse was built, Xiao moved all the Lagu galaxy plants he brought back there, and bought a gardening robot to take care of it.

The only thing Ji Mingxiao can do is to prepare all kinds of food.

According to the tradition when he was on Earth, he made dry goods such as bacon, smoked sausage, wind chicken, and wind fish. After finishing these, he started to fry meatballs, crispy meat, fried fish, and chicken nuggets.The ingredients for pickling were made by himself. He used the materials in the space, and also referred to many tastes and methods that people like very much found on the Internet.So when he started frying, the rich aroma almost filled the air in a radius of several kilometers.

Neighbors have been visiting the house since he started blowing things up, and everyone was very polite and didn't come empty-handed, and of course they didn't go back empty-handed when they left.

Although Ji Mingxiao prepared a lot of materials from the beginning, there were still not many left in the end. On the contrary, there were a lot of desserts, biscuits, bacon, pies and other things. It was a gift from neighbors when they visited.

Xiao acted like a very hospitable host. He didn't have the cold and hard aura that makes people stand on end with a straight face at all. He seemed to be working hard to get along with the neighbors around him.

Just as the countdown to the New Year enters the day, another visitor arrives.

"Hi!" The familiar baby-faced youth stood outside the door and greeted them, but this time his face was obviously a little sluggish.

"I have nowhere to go during the New Year," he said lazily, raising his hand, "Please take me in."

Just as Ji Mingxiao was about to ask something, he received Xiao Kan's gaze, and he immediately changed the words he was about to say with comprehension: "You are very welcome, please come in."

After entering the room, Percy greeted him, took his things and went to the guest room on the first floor consciously, and then never came out.

Xiao told Ji Mingxiao directly: "All his family members died a few days before a new year, so he will be very depressed every year at this time."

"All the relatives?" Ji Mingxiao showed an unbearable expression.

Xiao nodded: "His parents, as well as his sister, all died in a Zerg invasion."

Before Ji Mingxiao could say anything, Xiao had already patted him on the head and said, "He will adjust himself, don't worry about it, just treat him with your usual attitude."

When Percy finally came out of the guest room, it was dinner time and he looked completely back to normal.

Ji Mingxiao was preparing a New Year's dinner, Percy smelled the aroma of food all over the room and entered the dining room.

The boy, who was already in his youthful form, was standing in the kitchen wearing a light blue apron. He probably wanted to check how the pot was cooking. He picked up the lid of the pot with one hand.The rising water vapor made his facial features look a little soft, and unexpectedly calmed down his mood.

The boss of his family was sitting comfortably at the dining table waiting for the meal to be served. He kept moving his fingers against the projection wall, and the programs on the holographic projection wall kept changing with his movements.

Ji Mingxiao put down the lid, greeted him with a smile, and said, "This soup will be ready soon, please sit and wait."

Percy agreed, walked to the table and sat down at the seat opposite Shaw.

"Congratulations," he said teasingly to Xiao, "it's all hard work."

Xiao glanced at him, and then turned his attention to the projection wall, where a Star Wars movie was playing, which seemed to finally arouse his interest.

Percy watched with him for a while, and sneered, "Is this director an idiot? The double-mounted 800mm laser cannons have the effect of triple-mounted 2000mm laser cannons. What kind of cruiser is it with a destroyer?"

Xiao glanced at him again, and calmly switched channels.

Percy's scalp was about to explode when he saw it, and he raised his hand to express his innocence, "I know it's wrong to disturb the world of the two of you, I will go to this mission for you, so I can spare time for you."

Xiao coughed lightly, and finally stopped switching.

"You can't do this mission," he said, "but you can do it next time."

Percy almost laughed angrily at him, and was about to speak when Ji Mingxiao came over with a plate.

"It's been a long time." He said with a smile, "Let's start eating the New Year's Eve dinner."

Sprinkle a little spice and a little fine salt on the small crispy meat and meatballs, put them in a bowl and steam them thoroughly, and put the bowl directly on the plate after the pot is out, it is a traditional special delicacy.

Stuff soaked glutinous rice and marinated pork ribs into small pumpkins with the seeds removed, and steam them together in a pan. The pork ribs and pumpkin cup is both eye-catching and refreshing.The greasyness of the pork ribs soaks into the glutinous rice and pumpkin, and the sweetness of the pumpkin also penetrates into the pork ribs. The combination of the three flavors is really wonderful.

The fish head with chopped pepper looks a little scary to Percy, but the red layer of chopped pepper on the fish head and the salty smell make people want to try it.

The marinating time of wind chicken and wind fish is relatively short, but there is no need to add any seasoning. They are directly steamed in the pan, taken out and torn into strips. It is a delicacy with tender meat, fresh and salty taste.

The three fresh spring rolls are fresh and crispy with shiitake mushrooms, shrimps and winter bamboo shoots added.

The sweet soup is small glutinous rice balls made with fermented glutinous rice. Thin dried osmanthus is sprinkled on the soup base of fermented glutinous rice, and the mouth is full of the sweet aroma of osmanthus.

There are other dishes and beautiful fruit plates made of fresh fruits, as well as the main dumpling stuffed with cabbage, fungus, diced meat, and dried shrimps. A large table is full.

Despite his preparations, Percy was still amazed by the table full of dishes.He wiped his saliva and couldn't help asking: "Where is this tradition? There are so many dishes for the New Year? And I have never seen many dishes."

Ji Mingxiao said with a smile: "The tradition of the ancient Hua Kingdom."

He raised the glass that had already been poured: "Happy New Year!"

Xiao and Percy also raised their glasses, and the three glasses made a crisp sound when they collided together.

"Happy New Year!"

-------------------------------

The time enters 3068 years of the interstellar calendar.

Percy left on the fifth day of his stay at home, but he did a lot of things before he left.What Ji Mingxiao is most grateful for is that he helped Vivi upgrade the chip, and at the same time bought a humanoid robot from StarInternet and installed Vivi's chip on it.

Originally, he wanted to buy a sexy maid-type robot, but Xiao and Ji Mingxiao rejected it at the same time, so in the end, a middle-aged butler-type robot with an ordinary appearance but a very serious and capable appearance was added to the house.

In addition, Ji Mingxiao also learned a lot about Xiao from him.

"It's true that we are comrades-in-arms," ​​he said while sorting out the chip, "but I belong to the logistics team and rarely go to the front line, so we don't interact much. Later, because he did me a big favor, we met. "

"Xiao has been on the front line?" Ji Mingxiao couldn't help asking, "Has he ever been injured? I remember he said that he retired due to injury."

"There's no one at the front who hasn't been wounded," said Percy, "but he did have a bad one."

He put down his work, looked up at Ji Mingxiao and said, "We had a relatively large-scale Star Wars, and the casualties were very heavy. At that time, Xiao's rescue capsule was searched and rescued after drifting in space for half a month. If Any time later, and he'd—"

Percy's five fingers pinched together and then opened, making a spreading movement, "Dead, dissipated, and became a small speck of dust in the universe."

Ji Mingxiao frowned and looked at him almost angrily.

"What do you think of me, it's not what I asked him to do." Percy said innocently.

Ji Mingxiao also knew that he was venting his anger, but when he heard that Xiao would die and dissipate, he still couldn't help but get angry at him.

"That..." He hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Did Xiao's injury cause genes..."

"You mean a genetic defect?" Percy didn't shy away. "Of course not. Although the injury was serious, it wasn't irreversible. However, he was discharged from the army for some reason."

Seeing that Ji Mingxiao was still asking, he immediately said, "Don't ask me, I don't know either."

The topic ends here, because Xiao's daily training time is over and he is coming down from upstairs.The two looked at each other and chose to shut up at the same time.

Later, until Percy left, he never got a chance to ask about it again.

After Percy left, Xiao realized that something was wrong with Ji Mingxiao.

First of all, he suddenly became keen on making all kinds of soups for him.It is said that it is some sort of medicated food and body-reinforcing soup, which contains a lot of strange ingredients in his opinion.

Fortunately, the taste of the soup was not bad, and Ji Mingxiao specially made it for him, and would occasionally drink it with him, so he readily accepted it.

Furthermore, occasionally he would find that Ji Mingxiao looked at him with weird eyes, and it seemed that there was an emotion called pity that often appeared on his face.

This made him get goosebumps all over his body, and then he couldn't stand it anymore and asked him twice. Although he didn't ask the reason in the end, it finally made him restrain himself.

In the end, even though it was vacation time, he always ran to school when he was free, and stayed for a long time before coming back.It wasn't until his vacation was over that he was ready to go on a mission that Ji Mingxiao stayed at home and began to prepare all kinds of takeaway food for him, and also helped him pack his things.

Xiao always felt that the problem was with Percy, but unfortunately he didn't know the reason from Ji Mingxiao's mouth after several conversations.

The New Year's holiday is not long, and it seems that there are two days before returning to school.

Ji Mingxiao finally stopped making soup every day.On the one hand, because Xiao is about to leave, on the other hand, last night, when they were sitting together on the sofa in the living room watching a romantic movie dressed in Star Wars skin, his tonic soup finally showed its effect —— Xiao had a nosebleed.

Always steady and calm, Ru Xiao couldn't help cursing in a low voice, and before Ji Mingxiao could react, he quickly got up and went to the bathroom in the guest room on the first floor.

When he came out, he saw Ji Mingxiao's worried face, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.

Seeing Xiao's expressionless face, Ji Mingxiao seemed to see the dean, and immediately raised his hand to express: "I swear, those things are not harmful, nosebleeds...that's normal..."

Xiao couldn't help but glared at him, then lowered his head and rubbed his nose, and said in a muffled voice, "I know..."

Seeing that Ji Mingxiao was still a little uneasy, he sighed first and softened his attitude.

"I know. But in the future, you should tell me what these things are for, and then we can discuss whether we need them or not?"

Ji Mingxiao shyly put down his hands and agreed in a low voice: "Okay, I understand."

The consequence of this incident was that when Xiao was about to leave the next day, Ji Mingxiao gave him a small medicine box. He looked at the six small medicines inside and looked at Ji Mingxiao suspiciously.

Ji Mingxiao scratched his head in embarrassment, and then explained: "This is the medicine I made in the school laboratory two days ago. The lower row is hemostatic medicine, which can be used when injured, and the upper row is First-aid medicine, if there is an accident that endangers your life, you can try it."

Seeing Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, he hastily added: "I know you have healing instruments and repair cabins, but bring them just in case. I tried the hemostatic medicine, and it worked very well. As for Although I haven't tried the first aid potion, it uses a lot of precious materials, so it should be useful."

It sounds like the little guy made something in some magical way.Xiao thought that a few days ago he stayed at school until late every day before coming back, and finally left the medicine box behind.

When Ji Mingxiao approached, he still did not forget to ask: "Be sure to take it with you and put it in your space button."

"Yes." Xiao promised him, then naturally pulled him over and kissed him on the forehead to say goodbye.

"I'm going first," he whispered, "wait for me to come back."

Ji Mingxiao is now very calm about his behavior, but after Xiao left, he still couldn't help but blush a little.

-------------------------------------------------- -

After Xiao left, Ji Mingxiao went to visit Amy's house.

Because the two sons in the family go to school in Giffer, the Amy family has always lived in the house on Giffer's side.

They went back to their home for New Years to spend the holidays with their elders and a family reunion, and then returned to Giuffres two days before school started, so it wasn't too far to visit them.

After arriving at the address Amy told him, Ji Mingxiao was a little surprised.

In the list of the richest people in the singular Tuckerman star, Albert's family is definitely at the top.But Ji Mingxiao couldn't see any difference between their family and ordinary families.

Their house is not as luxurious as imagined. Although the area is large, it is not too outrageous. The interior layout looks very comfortable.In addition to the housekeeping robot, there is only one old butler at home, and there are not as many servants as imagined.

Amy's parents are also very easy to get along with.They didn't use methods to keep their appearance youthful. They looked about the same age as they actually were, but they were in very good spirits.Mr. Albert is a bit fat, always smiling, and looks very kind.Madame Albert came from a famous family, with a gentle and elegant temperament.It looked like Louie was more like her, and Amy was more like Papa.

Mrs. Albert, the new perfume reagent brought by Ji Mingxiao, liked it very much. During dinner, she personally cooked authentic Tuckerman-style dishes, which tasted quite good.

The gift for Mr. Albert was a box of tea that Ji Mingxiao made himself.

Cocoa, coffee, and tea are still the mainstream non-alcoholic drinks, so the process of making tea can be easily found on the Internet.

The tea leaves were picked from a few tea trees in the space. He only did the simplest greening, rolling and drying. He wasted a lot of fresh tea leaves to successfully make two boxes.Although the preparation is simple, the effect of brewing is very good. The tea soup is green and tender, and the fragrance of the tea is refreshing. Even Xiao, who has never loved tea, expressed his love for it.

One of the two boxes of tea made was taken away by Xiao, and the other box was given to Amy's father, Mr. Albert.

Mr. Albert accepted the gift with a smile, and put it away without paying attention.

Because he had agreed to go back to school with Amy, he stayed at Albert's house that day.After dinner, Amy took him to her room, the two chatted for a long time, and then Amy insisted on taking him to see her collection.

Amy can't fly the mecha due to physical reasons, but he is particularly fascinated by the mecha.There is a door in his bedroom that leads to a collection room, where various models of mecha models are collected, and there is a whole room.

Seeing Ji Mingxiao's expression of surprise and admiration because of the mech models in the room, Amy was very proud, but she still tried her best to put on a humble look.

"In fact, my old house has more collections, and many classic old models of mechas are also collected. Here are only models that have been released in the past few years, and the collection is not complete."

"That's amazing," Ji Mingxiao exclaimed, "I've never seen many mechs, they look great!"

Amy couldn't help being proud again, and pulled Ji Mingxiao to introduce her collection one by one.

"This is the fourth-generation storm armor, the color has been changed to red, and it is more dazzling than the previous three generations. Both hands are equipped with i-22 ion cannons at the same time. Four missile vertical launch systems are installed vertically on the rear of the mech, and a new type of guidance is used. device, a small launcher is installed on the shoulder, which can be filled with armor-piercing high-explosive shells, and the firepower of an instant burst is equivalent to two Wanderer mechs."

"There is also this Cherno, the drave-1 first-generation machine, which is the longest-serving mecha model on the battlefield. There is no such mecha on the market now. This is the official commemorative model. I paid a lot of money It took a lot of effort to get it.”

"This is the explorer mecha, which belongs to the sixth generation machine. The drive system and weapon configuration are the most advanced. It is also the most popular mainstream mecha for mecha fighters..."

There is a holographic projection wall in the collection room, on which various types of mechs are displayed in turn. Amy introduced the real objects while excitedly switching the content on the wall for detailed explanations, until the mechas above were replaced by a personal character.

"Are these all mecha fighters?" Ji Mingxiao looked at those characters and asked.

"Well," Amy said shyly, "These are the mecha fighters that I have always liked all these years. At first, I also became fascinated with mechas because I watched their battles."

"This person is Tolan Gerrard," he introduced, pointing to the black-haired middle-aged man on the projection wall, "He is the holder of the three-time Mecha League champion, and no one has broken his record until now. A legend."

He swiped with his fingers, and a woman with a hot figure was replaced on the projection wall. Her short red hair and heavy makeup made her look a bit rebellious.

"She's Carol Murphy. Everyone prefers to call her Flame Girl. Leaving aside the mech technology, at least she has a hot body, right?"

Amy drew out several characters and introduced them one by one. It seemed that she really liked them very much.

"And this, you must like him very much." Amy looked obsessively at a tall man who appeared on the projection wall, his figure was unexpectedly familiar.

Ji Mingxiao's eyelids twitched, feeling uneasy for some reason.

"He..." Ji Mingxiao hesitated, "Who is it?"

Amy looked very surprised, "How come you don't know who he is? He used to be everyone's idol, the future star of the Federation, the champion of the two-time Mecha League, the youngest colonel, and he is likely to become The youngest general. His image was used in the federal recruiting advertisements back then, and I don’t know how many people joined the army because of him.”

As he said, the man looked very good.The holographic projection made him appear very real in front of their eyes. He has dark hair and dark blue eyes, and his facial features are tough and handsome. He looks vigorous, with a convincing firmness and confidence.

The facial features are not the same as that person's, and the temperament is also different... He tried to convince himself, but his fingers still clenched tightly, and his palms were full of sweat.

"His... what's his name?" He heard himself asking, his voice was unexpectedly calm, but it didn't seem to be coming from him.

"Shaw Sterling," Amy replied, "Colonel Sterling."
