Chapter 53: Extra Story [Part Two]
**Life Afterwards**
** 1. **
It can be said that none of the Lu family’s eggs were born normally.
Lu Huaming and Qianshan were born without Lu Mo knowing. As for Lu Junhao, it’s even more peculiar. Perhaps because his Earthling genes were too dominant, he always had a perpetually annoying dead-fish look.
Lu Xi was an egg picked up from the lab, and his offspring were even more interesting.
Xia Baiyuan laid the egg three thousand years ago. However, by the time Lu Xi had returned to the present, it still hadn’t hatched after three years.
— Thank the zerg god, it didn’t spoil and rot, and it was healthy.
Just the thought of it almost turning into a preserved egg made the whole family barely hold it together.
**2.**
Oh, before that, there was meeting the parents.
Xia Baiyuan was the war god of the zerg race, and Lu Mo was the “savior” of the zerg race. When Lu Xi introduced them to each other, both sides were very polite.
It felt like a formal bowing ceremony.
**3.**
Of course, it wasn’t that dramatic.
After all, Lu Mo was incredibly tsundere —
No, it was more that Ling was pretty laid-back, truly living up to his reputation as the legendary, almost inhumanly tough commander of the Third Legion.
When he appeared and made eye contact with Xia Baiyuan, both noticed each other’s unique and striking silver hair, one long and one short, both as beautiful as silk.
The Lu family’s preference for males was practically written on their faces.
Lu Xi and Lu Mo looked up at the sky and down at the ground, whistling guiltily.
They couldn’t even make a sound.
Ahhhhh.
Ahhhhh.
Lu Xi’s three brothers all twitched their mouths.
**4.**
The females were considerate, and this matter was just glossed over.
**5.**
But when that egg was brought out, it couldn’t be ignored.
Xia Baiyuan said awkwardly, “It hasn’t shown any signs of movement…”
Just as he finished speaking, the big white egg wobbled and bounced!
Lu Xi: =口=!!!
Clearly, Xia Baiyuan didn’t expect this. The big white egg jumped right out of his hands and straight into Lu Xi’s arms.
**6.**
Well, after all, for the egg to hatch, it needs the nourishment of the father’s mental energy.
**7.**
From then on, Lu Xi started living a life of carrying the egg around.
To ease his burden, Lu Mo said, “It’s okay. Back when you were still in your eggshell—”
Lu Xi’s eyes brightened, “Did you carry me like this too?”
Lu Mo replied expressionlessly, “I carried you for three months, and you didn’t hatch. I threatened to bake you if you didn’t come out, and you broke out on the spot.”
Lu Xi: “……”
Xia Baiyuan turned his head away, secretly curling his lips into a smile. Ling, sitting opposite, did the same.
**8.**
Of course, Lu Xi couldn’t be as ruthless as Lu Mo.
He made a small backpack for the egg and carried it to class every day. His classmates were quite shocked by this.
But the students were energetic, and soon they started talking about this week’s news.
First news: The youngest son of the Lu family is getting married soon.
Second news: A new teacher arrived at the school, mysterious and rumored to be incredibly strong.
**9.**
“Both surnamed Lu, but someone else getting married at twenty-four shocks the entire zerg race, while you at twenty-four are carrying an egg to school.” His deskmate sighed, looking at Lu Xi with pity.
“The difference between zergs is just too great.”
Lu Xi: “……”
**10.**
Before Lu Xi could say anything, the classroom door was pushed open.
The teacher everyone was curious about appeared in front of them.
**11.**
With short silver hair and blue-green eyes like the sky over snowy mountains.
His features were delicate like a puppet’s, and he seemed to unintentionally scan the room. When his gaze paused on a certain corner, a hint of a smile appeared on his face.
His beauty was breathtaking.
Lu Xi and his classmates gaped, gasping in amazement echoed throughout the classroom.
### 12.
Of course, their reasons for surprise were different.
His deskmate frantically flipped through the history book, then compared it to the teacher standing before them.
They looked exactly the same.
“Ah.”
** 13.**
The teacher introduced himself, saying he would be in charge of the students’ shooting courses from now on, a historically strong subject at Nansheng Military Academy.
Lu Xi couldn’t help but recall the time he was sniped out of the sky.
“My name is…” The teacher turned around to write on the blackboard.
[Xia]
[Bai]
[Yuan]
** 14. **
A murmur rippled through the classroom, a mix of disappointment and relief.
Teacher Xia’s smile reached his eyes: “You can call me Teacher Xia Baiyuan, I have no objections.”
The class burst into laughter, except for Lu Xi, whose expression twisted.
** 15. **
Hmm, Xia Baiyuan is really handsome.
** 16. **
The students of Nansheng Military Academy were tough. When a new teacher came to class, they were eager to test his skills.
His deskmate glanced at the quietly sitting Lu Xi, “Everyone’s going to challenge him, aren’t you joining?”
Lu Xi innocently pointed to his bag, “I have to take care of the egg.”
His deskmate covered his face with a smack, “What has marriage done to male zergs?”
** 17. **
Lu Xi looked up as the virtual battlefield was displayed on the big screen through the camera.
His gaze was fixed on the agile figure with silver hair.
This was his partner.
His heart’s desire.
His life was not all about Xia Baiyuan, but his love had always been solely for Xia Baiyuan.
Virtual sweat dampened Xia Baiyuan’s silver hair, sticking to his slightly flushed cheeks. His eyes were sharp, his movements skilled, making Lu Xi’s heart race.
** 18. **
When he left, Xia Baiyuan, though already an adult, still had a bit of a youthful zerg’s frame.
Slim and slender.
But now, he was entirely in his adult form, with broad shoulders, a slim waist, and long legs. His sleeves were rolled up to his forearms, revealing lean, powerful muscle lines.
Even his once slightly chubby cheeks had become well-defined, with clean, sharp lines.
** 19. **
Ahh, wow.
Ahh, tail hooks.
Ahh, they all went boom.
** 20. **
The bell for the end of class rang. His deskmate’s eyes were unfocused, cheeks flushed, as if shy beyond measure: “Ah, he’s so strong!!”
So in love!!
Looking at Lu Xi again, he calmly packed his bag. The stunningly handsome male zerg seemed completely unaffected. His deskmate was shocked: “What do you think of Teacher Xia?”
The black-haired, red-eyed male zerg cast a cold glance: “What do I think?”
His deskmate was moved to tears. Although the status of female and male zergs was now almost equal, a male zerg like Lu Xi, who showed no interest in females after having an egg, was still very rare!
One must know, after this class, countless male zergs were extremely excited—they all had betrothed partners!
** 21. **
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving.” Lu Xi turned and walked out.
Deskmate: “Where are you going?”
Lu Xi: “To find my wife.”
His deskmate waved a little handkerchief behind him: “Go quickly, oh woo woo woo.”
He could believe in love again.
** 22. **
Lu Xi pushed open the door, and Xia Baiyuan was leaning against the window, looking back at him.
Xia Baiyuan blinked: “I thought I should get a job…so my female father sent me here. I almost became a teacher before.”
How could he really be as calm as before, he seemed unaffected suddenly arriving in a completely unfamiliar era?
This “before” referred to three thousand years ago, of course.
Lu Xi took in everything about Xia Baiyuan.
The flickering gaze, the slightly clenched hands with nowhere to place them, his back leaning against the wall.
This now-adult female zerg suddenly seemed to revert back to the awkward Xia Baiyuan of the past.
Uneasy, anxious, at a loss.
Even if he was Xia Baiyuan.
What kind of emotions did he harbor to come to this era?
His only connection to this era was almost solely Lu Xi.
Lu Xi did not feel joy from this thought; he felt deep pity for Xia Baiyuan.
The original love and this pity mixed together, ultimately developing into an uncontrollable, unstoppable urge.
His entire being was screaming: he wanted to be intimate with Xia Baiyuan. As if doing so could merge Xia Baiyuan into his very body.
Alright, to put it simply… it might sound a bit inappropriate.
He, Lu Xi.
Right now, in the office, wanted to create a harmonious union with his teacher.
Lu Xi was always a man of action, so he really did it.
Xia Baiyuan?
He glanced at the classroom door with concern: “It’s not closed—”
Alright, a female zerg, no matter what, could never refuse their beloved little male zerg.
Especially in such matters, they were almost endlessly accommodating to males.
Even though his entire body was almost completely flushed with shame.
“Teacher Xia!! I had a question I wanted to ask you—ah ah ah—”
“Sorry, I didn’t see anything!!”
“Bang!!”
His deskmate squatted outside the door, scratching his head awkwardly.
Forgot to knock, damn it!!
Luckily, they had just started—
—or rather, they really didn’t lock the door!
Eye-opening realization, indeed.
Three minutes later, the door opened.
In his deskmate’s slightly desperate gaze, a neatly dressed Lu Xi indicated: “Let me reintroduce, this is my female consort.”
Compared to the usual calm, serious Lu Xi, there wasn’t much change, but…
His deskmate couldn’t help but think:
Huh? Was Lu Xi always like this?
Lu Xi’s demeanor had always been composed, but there was now a subtle, perceptible difference.
His deskmate, looking at him, felt an inexplicable sense of transformation.
It was the first time seeing Lu Xi exuding such an intense aura, his eyes deep and lips sharp like a sickle.
Looking over at Xia Baiyuan.
His once neat clothes had a button askew, and under his silver short hair, those sharp, clear eyes seemed a bit hazy.
Hard to imagine he looked like a killing god just a moment ago.
Wow, this is something to savor.
“Ahem, although we’re not married yet…” Lu Xi felt a bit guilty (shouldn’t call him ‘female consort’ yet), but he quickly regained his confidence.
He pulled out an invitation and handed it to his deskmate: “I’ve been meaning to give you this, it’s for my and Xia Baiyuan’s wedding. Can you make it?”
His deskmate’s full name was Luoxi Qilan, and while his family wasn’t particularly prominent, they did have some status.
Still in shock, his deskmate didn’t quite catch the subtle pronunciation of that word. “I’ll be there!” he nodded vigorously.
Here’s some background.
At midnight, Luoxi Qilan suddenly sat up.
“Holy crap, July 20th? I was planning to attend the Lu family wedding that day!”
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
After three days of agonizing over it, Luoxi, with dark circles under his eyes, sorrowfully informed his male and female father that he “had something important to do and couldn’t make it.”
Female father : “I’ll record it for you, hehehe.”
Male father: “Maybe we’ll even take a photo together, hehehe.”
Luoxi’s face fell instantly.
Love had faded, as they say.
