I have no pheromones, you smelled wrong

Lin Xu nodded to the emperor.

When he looked up again, he saw the emperor smiling, and he never took his eyes off him. It was obvious that he didn't just plan to say hello to Lin Xu and end it.

This disturbed Lin Xu's relaxed mood again, the corners of his lips tightened, and he followed the stairs to the atrium of the main hall.

There was a hastily ended banquet on this floor, when the large exhibits in the main hall were emptied, and now they have all been relocated.

The emperor is standing next to the piano collection in the center.

This is a grand piano from the ancient earth, and it is in a very good state of preservation. The only traces of time on the surface are the cracked paint of the wooden piano and the blurred metal inscription of the brand.

Lin Xu could barely recognize the brand of this ancient piano, which was the work of a famous piano maker before the end of the world.

That's right, ordinary musical instruments have no qualifications or opportunities to be carried to the Ark Fleet.

Alfred stood where he was, waiting for Lin Xu to come slowly.

When Lin Xu stood in front of him, he spoke calmly, "Hello, Your Majesty the Emperor."

Alfred still smiled: "Hello, Dr. Lin, the people of the empire have been discussing the ancient earth culture enthusiastically recently. I am yearning for it. Today I finally have the opportunity to visit the museum in person."

"Yes." Lin Xu replied, without any extra words.

This was a little out of Alfred's expectation. Lin Xu had a lot of words in the past. Among the crowd, he was the most eloquent, but now he was unwilling to say even a perfunctory word.

But it doesn't matter, Alfred doesn't mind, Lin Xu just doesn't answer, he can even continue the topic freely when Lin Xu sneers and mocks him: "Dr. Regarding the task of restoring this clavichord, I wonder if I can get your permission to touch it?"

Look at what he said, as if without Lin Xu's consent, he would definitely be able to withdraw his request.

In actual procedure, Lin Xu did not approve the right of tourists to touch cultural relics, but this is His Majesty the Emperor of the Marion Empire. The museum can clear the place for him at the busiest time of the day, and naturally it can also open a place for him. Fortepiano.

"Have you ever learned the piano?" Lin Xu asked.

"know a bit."

Hundreds of years can change human technology, housing, and fashion, but the structure of classic musical instruments will hardly change. People who have learned how to play the piano can still play wonderful movements on the ancient earth piano.

"Please wait a moment." Lin Xu turned and walked into the internal personnel working area on the side of the main hall, and Alfred followed him all the time.

When Lin Xu returned, he was holding a pair of white fiber gloves in his hand, followed by another staff member, who stepped forward to open the protective fence around the piano for them.

Lin Xu handed the white gloves to Alfred: "Please put these on before touching the piano."

The wooden structure of this piano is well preserved, and the metal strings inside have been corroded and damaged. After analyzing the material of the strings, the museum restored the strings one by one and installed them on the piano.

The clavichord can be used normally, and was even lent to a famous performer to play at the diplomatic banquet between the Empire and the Azaxians.

Alfred took the gloves and put them on, walked to the piano, opened the cover, and lightly tried a few notes with his fingers. He smiled knowingly, and then pulled away the matching piano stool. After sitting down, an orderly string of Notes flowed from his fingertips.

It was a bit stuck at first, as if I haven't practiced the piano for a long time, but it gradually improved, and the beautiful and gentle melody hovered in the main hall.

His Majesty the Emperor himself seemed to be getting more and more involved in playing. The sound of the clavichord was mellow and moving, like a glass of fine wine under the moon. Even the guards and female officials standing respectfully by the side couldn't help but be moved, showing a little bit of emotion during the serious work.

Lin Xu just listened indifferently. The museum employee who was standing beside him and didn't leave just wanted to chat with him about music in a low voice. Seeing his expression, he didn't dare to speak.

At the end of the song, the emperor came back to his senses, turned sideways and asked, "Dr. Lin, do you know this song?"

Lin Xu: "..."

"The Serenade by the ancient Earth composer Schubert."

Alfred nodded and smiled: "That's right."

The song didn't move Lin Xu, and the emperor's friendliness couldn't make his indifferent expression fluctuate.

Alfred once again felt that Lin Xu was different from before.

He no longer loves to laugh, he is even stingy with expression and ridicule, and his passion for human beings and power is ebbing.

But it is also more charming. Under the suit, the tide recedes, and the abyss becomes deeper and more chaotic.

But Lin Xu didn't seem to be interested in the emperor.

Alfred was sitting on the piano bench. When Lin Xu frowned slightly because of waiting for too long, he lowered his head and took off his gloves. He wanted to chat with him again, but suddenly saw the wrinkles on the back of his hands.

He thought for a while, changed the topic he had originally thought of, and asked Lin Xu, "Dr. Lin, what do you think of the prince?"

Lin Xu was confused, and said casually: "Your Highness is a prince who is close to the people."

"How do you like it?"

"?"

Lin Xu: "The heir to the imperial throne is not elected by voting...but people do like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Alfred nodded thoughtfully, and then apologized to Lin Xu as if suddenly enlightened: "Is it Dr. Lin's off-duty time now? Please forgive me for disturbing me. I will go shopping for a while, so I won't take up your time." It's time."

Lin Xu nodded again, turned and left without any nostalgia, leaving the weird-talking emperor in the exhibition hall.

Walking out of the exhibition hall, Lin Xu checked the message from Heinrich just received on the optical brain, he came to pick him up from get off work, and in 3 minutes, the aircraft will arrive at the entrance of the museum.

Lin Xu waited outside for a while, and then saw Heinrich's figure appearing beside the fountain, holding the black and white dragon in his arms.

He went forward to meet Yuan Xiao, and Yuan Xiao immediately stretched out her little white paws to him, looking like she was about to hug her. Lin Xu took Yuan Xiao and prepared to go back to the parking lot with Heinrich, but was caught by Heinrich. Rishi yelled.

"Wait a minute." He looked in the other direction and whispered.

Lin Xu followed Heinrich's gaze and turned his head to look, only to see the emperor in white uniform standing on the platform on the second floor of the museum.

Heinrich saw the emperor when he came, and the emperor also noticed Heinrich Chu. The two eyes met, and Heinrich couldn't just leave as if nothing happened.

He stopped and raised his hand to give a military salute to the emperor.

The emperor waved to him.

Seeing that the emperor had nothing more to say, Heinrich took Lin Xu and Yuan Xiao away.

Alfred stared at the family of three drifting away through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and raised his chin.

When Alfred learned that Lin Xu was married to another person, he thought it was a hallucination, but it turned out that it was only a month ago, and the two even had a child.

Still...a dragon.

The fact that Heinrich took the little dragon cub lying in the egg to register for an ID has not escaped the gossip of netizens on Starnet. Although only one or two blurry photos have been released, the black and white little dragon Valantris The popularity on Xingwang has been on par with another ancient earth rare animal, Gun Gun, who is also black and white.

Gained a lot of netizens "Little baby, come and give me a kiss!!!"

This also led to another question - it is known that Dr. Lin Xu is a human being, and human organs cannot complete the egg-laying process, so this egg may only be born by Marshal Chu, who has the blood of the dragon.

All of a sudden, the Marshal of the Empire was taken care of by black-hearted capitalists, and the rumors of sand sculptures who endured humiliation to bear a child for him were rampant.

Take a look, Marshal Chu was the only one on the day when little Valan went to register. This is the evidence that black-hearted capitalists despise Little Valan as a human being, and incidentally dislike Marshal Chu!

Fans of Marshal Chu's true feelings and meritorious deeds and fans of eating melons who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement come and go on the star network, and they are arguing over this issue.

Alfred would not believe this kind of endless gossip on the Internet. It is impossible for Lin Xu to choose Heinrich just for fun.

He has no such whim habit.

Alfred and Lin Xu met in college. After graduation, they went their separate ways and maintained superficial communication on the Internet. Later, after Lin Xu gained a firm foothold in the base of the Eastern Region, he met with the leader of the Northern Region, Alfred Norber. Only then did Sen's contacts become closer again.

They never met again. During the only meeting arrangement, Lin Xu's convoy was attacked by zombies, and the meeting and talks were forced to terminate.

But Alfred was very sure that Lin Xu never had such a thing as a lover.

Heinrich Chu was an exception.

The two also have a child.

……

Does he like him that much?

Heinrich's back was gradually receding, and Alfred squinted his eyes as he watched all this.

According to the lifespan of interstellar humans, Heinrich is still very young, with a mature and deep face, but no wrinkles, tall and strong, stern and majestic.

Does Lin Xu like this type?

And him... Alfred looked down at the hands of his body, this body is not young anymore.

"Let Admiral Neumann enter the palace to meet me." He ordered the female officer behind him.

In the next few days, Heinrich accompanied Lin Xu to the military exhibition hall on Ares several times. Lin Xu confirmed the identity of the new official who took over the position of the Appraisal Office, and went around the exhibition hall as a whole, and found Some traces of suspicious equipment.

He suspected that the large-scale equipment used to transform the time traces of the Ark Fleet's spacecraft was under the military exhibition hall.

But the basement of the exhibition hall is specially encrypted, and even Heinrich's permission cannot be opened. Lin Xu can only write down the clues first.

Later, news of the rebellion from the Dionysus region disturbed Lin Xu's peaceful life of going to work during the day, investigating cases in the evening, and rubbing the cubs of the little dragon and the tail of the big dragon at night.

The rebel army suddenly launched an attack on the planet where the imperial army was stationed. The situation is critical. The Sixth Army has rushed to the battlefield. At the same time, the Supreme Military Council hopes that the Abyss Fleet will start its inspection plan in the Dionysus region in advance to help restore peace.

Heinrich was about to leave, Lin Xu had talked with him, and he would stay in the Crescent Special Zone to continue the investigation, and Yuan Xiao would also stay by his side.

Heinrich was silent for a few minutes after hearing this, and did not refute Lin Xu's arrangement.

He knew that Lin Xu didn't want to hide in fear for the rest of his life, not to mention they still had the Lantern Festival now.

The battle situation in the Dionysus region is urgent. It can be foreseen that Heinrich is busy with military affairs and cannot take Yuanxiao with him to take care of him. The best choice at present is to let him stay with Lin Xu.

"I asked Metz and Arnold to stay in the Crescent Special Zone. Maybe it can help you. If you don't have enough authority, you can find Zhou Pingbo. His level is high enough, and he has unimpeded access to most military bases in the empire." Heinrich instructed , "Ika is currently still on Haven Planet, and can provide you with remote technical support. If you encounter an emergency that cannot be solved... put your own life first."

Lin Xu looked at Marshal Chu who seemed to be suffering from parting anxiety, and asked, "What about you? Will you put me first?"

"Of course." Heinrich didn't hesitate at all.

Yuan Xiao groaned aside.

Lin Xu showed a conciliatory smile: "Okay, this is your promise. I will make a request first. According to the promise, you must abide by the request."

"it is good."

"I can't die, so please protect your own life," Lin Xu said, "If I need you to do something later, I hope you will still keep your promise today."
