CHAPTER 127: CHAPTER 45: TWINS

"I see..." Du Xixi clung to Ke Lian’s arm, a gentle smile on her face, "I’ve been living on a primitive planet for some time. The bamboo and bamboo shoots I gave you were found there by the Rob. Why not transplant some to the Iron-eating Beast Empire?"

Du Xixi naturally wouldn’t rashly suggest that the Iron-eating Beasts should switch their everyday food to bamboo and bamboo shoots, as it would seem too meddlesome of her.

But finding an excuse, that was something Du Xixi could manage.

"I heard from the Rob that the birth rate of young Iron-eating Beasts has increased significantly in recent years." Du Xixi smiled as she glanced at the little Iron-eating Beasts who climbed onto the Iron-eating Beast Majesty’s shoulder and were looking curiously towards her, "Consider it a gift from me to them."

"Is it okay?"

If it were a gift for the Iron-eating Beast Majesty alone, he might hesitate for a while, but with Du Xixi bringing up the little ones, the Iron-eating Beast Majesty found it hard to refuse.

However, having witnessed too many cold shoulders in the Star Era, the Iron-eating Beast Majesty found Du Xixi’s ongoing goodwill towards them somewhat unreal.

"Of course!" Du Xixi nodded without hesitation.

Though the CD-0329 Star belongs to Chen Yin, he has always wanted to transfer several primitive planets under his care to Du Xixi. How could he mind if Du Xixi took some bamboo and bamboo shoots to give to the Iron-eating Beasts?

Moreover, the relationship between Chen Yin and Du Xixi is closer than that of siblings; Du Xixi taking a little extra wouldn’t bother him—in fact, it might make him happier.

After happily chatting with the Iron-eating Beast Majesty, Du Xixi finally ended the video call, though she still felt reluctant to part with the fluffy Iron-eating Beasts.

"Do you really like Iron-eating Beasts?" Ke Lian naturally felt a twinge of jealousy. Without a word from Du Xixi and under Miao Miao’s curious gaze, he suddenly hugged Du Xixi, making her lean back with him onto the hospital bed. "Do you like them more, or do you like me more?"

The longer Ke Lian spent with Du Xixi, the less he wanted her attention on anyone else. Be it Mo Ying or Miao Miao, at least they were both female, and one of them already had a partner, so Ke Lian could tolerate it a bit.

But... that Iron-eating Beast Majesty in his prime—why would Du Xixi look at him with such an "obsessed" gaze! Ke Lian did not like it!

Du Xixi (helpless expression): I just want to cuddle something fluffy...

Du Xixi was truly speechless at Ke Lian’s sudden jealousy. Clearly, there were no particularly close males around her, and now it was just a video call with the Iron-eating Beast Majesty from who knows how many light-years away, yet he was getting jealous!

However, his serious jealousy was obviously a sign of how much Ke Lian cared for her. Du Xixi felt helpless yet sweet inside, so she leaned in to plant a kiss on Ke Lian’s cheek.

"Of course, you’re my favorite."

In this world, Chen Yin was the one Du Xixi had the deepest bond with, Ke Xing was someone she trusted, but Ke Lian was the one she entrusted her whole heart to. Ke Lian was her husband. Du Xixi never thought she would like anyone else more than him.

A simple kiss from Du Xixi was enough to put Ke Lian’s jealousy right in its place, even reinforcing it. Ke Lian hugged Du Xixi tightly, rubbed her forehead with his still-scar-laden chin, and said, "Xixi, you’re also my favorite!"

silently picked up a cloth left behind by someone unknown and wiped the impeccably clean table. Miao Miao silently turned to look out the window, recalling the phrases learned in recent days. The barely-open door to the infirmary was closed again by Mo Feng from the outside as he quietly returned to the rehabilitation room...

The two plus a robot: ... We hate this lovey-dovey stuff the most!

Half a month later, Ke Lian could already get out of bed, walking briskly, showing no signs that he had been bedridden for several months. This made Mo Feng very envious.

You see, when Mo Feng got out of bed, never mind walking; even a slight move seemed laborious, requiring 2569’s support to take a few more steps.

And now, Mo Feng appeared to walk as usual, thanks largely to his willingness to endure hardship, spending most of the day in the rehabilitation room, undergoing various therapies to ensure he could regain his peak strength in the shortest time possible.
