Embrace the light

Fortunately, when Marshal Auston's family held a birthday banquet, it happened to be a regular holiday.

The venue for the banquet is in the Field Family Manor, which occupies a large area and is heavily guarded, making it suitable for holding banquets with a higher level of protection.

Ian carried Hehuan on his back, and Heng was responsible for carrying the gift and following him.

Speaking of gifts, something happened that surprised Ian.

Originally, Ian planned to give two birthday presents together, but Heng took out two gift boxes from the bedroom cabinet before departure, saying that they were birthday presents for Mino and his father.

Ian was both surprised and happy, and Heng cared about his friend, which surprised Ian.

What Heng bought for Mino was a holographic game console, and the games in it were all the latest popular models.A total of two game consoles were bought, one was given to Ian before, and the rest was given to Mino as a birthday present.It was a bartending set for Mitchin.

The two birthday presents are not expensive, but for Heng, they have already cost a considerable amount of his own income.

Ian handed the invitation card to the guard. The guard confirmed the identities of Ian and Heng, scanned and checked them, and directed them to the main hall.

"Have you been here before?"

Seeing Ian observing the manor very curiously, Heng asked aloud.

Ian shook his head, "No, birthday parties are not held every year. Before Nuonuo celebrated his birthday, we just had a meal at his house. This time it was because of Uncle Mitchin's 40th birthday. 40 years old is right For the Imperials, it is a very important age divide, so Uncle Auston made a big deal."

Heng has always had a question, "So Mino's two parents are gay? Whose child is Mino?"

Ian smiled, "When I first met, I kept hearing what Nuonuo said about my father and my father, so I was also very curious, thinking that he was the child of Marshal Alston and his ex-wife, or that he was the child of Uncle Mitchin and someone else. Son, I found out after I asked Nuonuo that he is the biological son of Uncle Mitchin and General Auston."

"But aren't they both men?"

"Yes." Ian nodded, "Although marriage between a man and a man is legal in the empire, since ancient times, only the harmony of yin and yang, male/female intercourse, and joy can reproduce offspring. What was conceived in the womb was born in the incubation barn."

"Like a test-tube baby?"

"I think it's more like cloning." Ian said, "This technology is very time-consuming, money-intensive and manpower-consuming, and few medical institutions can reach this level. Nuonuo's healthy birth is also due to the help of his uncle. My uncle is a very good biologist."

"How many people are born like this?"

Ian shook his head, "I don't know. I'm just a commoner, and I don't have access to the high-end technology of the empire. It was Nuonuo who told me, so I heard about it. But, Heng, you just need to know, don't tell me about it. Others said, although this is not a secret, but I heard from Nuonuo that the empire has now completely banned this technology."

Heng nodded, "Don't worry. But why should it be banned?"

"It seems to say that this experiment violates the laws of nature and humanitarianism. Some accidents and cruel incidents occurred during the experiment."

The guards are the best direction indicators. The two walked along the road with guards and walked for about 5 minutes before reaching the main hall.

The main hall is very large, much larger than the five-star hotel restaurants Ian has ever seen.The main hall is divided into two parts. When you first enter, it is the living room. There are many sofa chairs and low tables on both sides. Guests can sit down and rest by themselves.

Behind the living room is the formal dining room, where everyone eats together at dinner.

*An'an, where are you?If you are in the manor, let the servant take you to the fifth floor of the main building. *

Ian's cell phone rang, and it was a text message from Mino.

I asked the servants in the manor how to get to the main building, and the servants took Ian there in person very politely.

"I miss you."

As soon as Ian stepped out of the elevator, he was hugged by Mino who rushed over, and then the two were hugged by the captain who spread his wings.

"I miss you too." Ian said.

The captain patted Ian on the shoulder, "Oh~ dear Ian, don't you want me to be handsome?"

Ian smiled at the captain, took off the cat bag on his back, and held it in front of the captain.

Sure enough, when he saw Hehuan, the captain stopped teasing Ian. He picked up the cat bag with one wing, and opened the zipper with the other.

Acacia and the captain also cooperated very well, it hugged one of the captain's wings, and then was put on the captain's back.

"Let's go in, Harvey and the others are here."

In addition to Harvey, there were Liang Xiao, Gene, and Alex in the room. The short-haired girl sitting next to Alex looked familiar, but Ian really couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

Seeing Ian looking at himself and then at his girlfriend, Alex excitedly introduced to Ian, "Ian, this is my girlfriend, everyone has seen it on Senlanxing."

That's right, this girl is Wei Na, whom Sen Lanxing met during his travels, when Alex went to strike up a conversation.However, Wei Na had long flowing hair at that time, but now she has short and neat hair.

"Hello, Vera."

"Hello, Ian."

The two greeted each other.

Seeing that Ian and Heng were carrying the things in their hands all the time, Mino said, "Is it a gift for me? Put it down quickly, aren't you tired from carrying it all the time?"

Ian took Heng and put the gift in his hand on the low table beside him, and then sat next to the big guy.

Mino smiled and said, "You two are a family, one gift is enough, why did you give two gifts, it's so strange."

"Then I'll bring another set back when I go back."

Mino waved his hand, "That's no good, it's my room, but it's my stuff."

Ian looked at Harvey and the others, "I thought we came quite early, but I didn't expect everyone to come earlier than us."

Mino rolled his eyes at those people, and Harvey replied with a smile: "They came here yesterday afternoon, to eat and drink."

Yesterday was Friday, and Gene and the others happened to have nothing to do, so they yelled in the group to come early together.Harvey, on the other hand, came to help ahead of time with his parents.However, in fact, there is nothing that Harvey needs to do.

Looking into Ian's eyes, Gene felt a little embarrassed.

Ian smiled at him, and Gene smiled back.

When I met Gene these two times, his mental state was obviously much better than when he was traveling.Sure enough, time is the best medicine for healing, his expression has become relaxed, and he is no longer full of worries.

"What's the signal for you two?" Seeing Ian and Gene smiling at each other but not saying a word, Harvey put his arms around Gene's neck and asked.

"There is no secret code. Are you a detective professional so sensitive?"

"Brother, will there be any friends joining us later?" Harvey asked Mino.

Mino replied: "There will be some relatives coming over, and they will probably sit at the same table with us."

Ian asked in a low voice, "Will Christine come too?"

Mino smiled and nodded, "Of course she will come."

"Then will you be embarrassed and sad to see her?"

Mino shook his head, "The sad period has long passed."

Harvey intervened between the two again, "Student Yi'an, why do you have a little secret with everyone?"

Ian replied, "No."

"Then what did you say to my brother just now that it hurts?"

Mino knocked on Harvey's head, "Why are you so gossip now?"

Harvey rubbed his head, "Isn't this boring?"

When everyone gathered before, Harvey and Alex walked closest, and the two were playing and laughing.But now that Alex was with his girlfriend wholeheartedly, he naturally couldn't disturb her, so he could only stare at other people.

Ian looked over to Alex, he was whispering to his girlfriend, the two looked very sweet.

"You also hurry up and find someone, so you won't be bored."

"You think I don't want to!" Harvey retorted Mino, "But it's too difficult to go in both directions!"

Gene nodded in agreement, "That's right."

"Every one of you, why do you seem to have fallen into the vortex of love?"

Jin said: "No, I just read this novel recently and posted it because of my feelings. The mermaid prince is too difficult, waiting for a hundred years just to find a human being who loves each other, but human beings will not hesitate to hurt him severely in order to get Merman Tears."

......

Harvey was speechless, "I really didn't see it, you still read this kind of novel? Aren't these sadomasochistic romances that only little girls love to read."

"bias."

Speaking of mermaids, Ian, Mino and Heng looked at each other, and all three of them naturally thought of Mo.

Looking around the room, Ian didn't see Zixing and Ziyue. Ian looked at Mino's wrist again, but he couldn't see it because he was covered by his long sleeves.

Mino caught Ian's sight, understood, shook his arms and said, "They are so cold, I won't let them stick to me in winter."

This time Harvey guessed what the two were talking about, "Are you talking about your two little pets?"

Mino nodded, "Zi Xing and Zi Yue are staying in the bathroom. Since winter came, they are not very energetic. The water in the bathroom can keep a constant temperature, and they will feel more comfortable there."

Those who are close to Mino know that he has two little pets, starfish Zixing and Ziyue.

Of course, only Ian and Heng knew about the special features of Zixing and Ziyue.

Liang Xiao had been sitting quietly on the sofa watching a few people chatting, and Mino cue said, "I didn't bring Jessica with me, so I feel very lonely."

Liang Xiao smiled and shook his head, "No."

"It's no wonder you haven't," said Harvey. "You've been brooding and reticent since yesterday."

There is also Heng who is taciturn, and Heng never participates in other people's gossip.

Yi An asked him, "Want to go see Zixing and Ziyue together?"

Heng nodded, and Ian said to Mino: "Nonuo, Heng and I want to go see Zixing and Ziyue, but we haven't seen them for a long time."

"Well, I'll take you there."

The bathroom was inside near the bedroom, and after opening the door of the bathroom, a gust of steam rushed in.

Mino grabbed Ian's arm and winked playfully at Ian.

[It's Ian, and Heng. ]

A girl's voice suddenly appeared in Ian's head.

Ian was a little surprised, and asked Mino: "Is Ziyue talking?"

Mino nodded, "Yes."

Ian greeted Zixing and Ziyue and said, "Long time no see, Zixing and Ziyue."

[[Long time no see, Ian. ]]

This time it was the boy's voice accompanied by the girl's voice.

Ian asked Mino: "Nonuo, can I catch Heng's words, can he hear him?"

[Not yet. ] Zixing replied, [Your Highness can only bring one person to communicate with us at a time. ]

Ian nodded, took Heng's hand over, and let Mino grab Heng's arm.

[Long time no see, Heng. ]

It was Zixing who was greeting Heng.

Heng also heard Haixing's voice directly for the first time, and he was quite surprised, and responded, "Long time no see."

Communicating with Zixing and Ziyue is a bit like wearing earphones, and also like a kind of meditation that pops up in the mind.It feels weird.

Zixing and Ziyue are not staying in the small fish tank now, but are wandering in Minuo's big bathtub.There are also a lot of seaweed, stones, etc. in the bathtub, and of course the oath conch and the gold and silver jewelry in the conch.

Seeing that the two starfish climbed up and down in the fish tank without showing signs of discomfort or fatigue, Ian felt relieved.

Ian asked Mino: "Has Mo contacted you recently?"

Mino nodded, "I don't know if it's because I have mastered the skills of communicating with their marine species. I have dreamed of him several times during this period."

Most of the scenes in the dream are Mo sitting on a deep-sea reef, silently looking at the night sky or the distant sea.At this time, some of Mo's cold blood faded, revealing a trace of loneliness.

Mino thought it was purely a dream, but Zixing and Ziyue said that they were communicating with Mo, and it felt like Zhuang Zhou was dreaming of a butterfly.

Mino also saw a scene of Mo hunting, which was primitive, fierce and cruel.Mino didn't like this feeling very much. He grew up in a civilized society. Although he knew that Mo was different from him and was not a pure-bred human being, he still felt uncomfortable when he saw a bloody scene of a humanoid hunting other creatures.

Fortunately, he only saw this kind of scene once, and Ziyue taught him the method of controlling mental skills in sleep.

"He didn't urge you to go to Senlanxing, did he?"

Mino shook his head, "That's not true. But so far, there is still no way to untie the contract."

Although Mo didn't bother him, Mino felt relieved.But when he thought that Mo's behavior represented confidence and assurance, Mino felt very helpless.

[Your Highness, our Sen Lanxing is really good. ] Ziyue persuaded for the nth time, [and the master is really nice, you don't have to worry about your future life at all. ]

"Shut up." Mino flicked his eyes at Ziyue.

Ziyue hid herself behind Zixing silently, but she would still do this kind of persuasion next time.

"There is still a long time, let's take our time and don't rush." ​​Ian comforted Mino.

"Well, there must be a way before the car reaches the mountain. Let's continue to chat with everyone."

Mino pushed Ian back to the living room, followed by Heng, and closed the bathroom door by the way to prevent Hehuan from breaking in accidentally.
