The red clouds render the horizon look like an oil painting.
Extremely gorgeous.
In the hall of the room, after dinner.
After Ellu stuffed the dishes into the dishwasher, she turned around and was about to walk back to the living room when she saw Cao Wei, who had eaten and drank enough and was rubbing her belly, walking over.
"Sister Lulu."
"What's the matter? Is something wrong?" Ellu asked gently with a smile.
Cao Wei nodded, then blinked and said, "Can you do me a favor?"
"What's the business?" Ellu wondered.
"Come over here."
Cao Wei reached out and grabbed her immediately, then came to sit next to the sofa.
Afterwards, under Ailu's confused eyes, Cao Wei opened her schoolbag, took out the English textbook from it, and turned it to the appendix word page at the end. Then, holding the textbook in both hands, she solemnly said:
"Test me!"
"??" Ai Lu was stunned and didn't react for a moment. It wasn't until Cao Wei explained a few sentences that she realized that he was going to test her on memorizing vocabulary.
"This is homework. There will be a test in class tomorrow. Come and test me to see if I know it by heart." Cao Wei said seriously.
"That's it." After hearing that it was about Cao Wei's study, Ai Lu immediately agreed, her eyes narrowed with laughter, and then she hesitated as if she remembered something, "But... I don't know how."
English class is the second language that elves need to master. After all, if you want to have a deeper understanding of earth civilization, it is necessary to learn this common language.
However, as the high priest of the Elf King's Sacrifice Hall, Elu naturally does not need to learn everything as a "leader", and always attending classes with Lily and the others would greatly damage their dignity, so after learning Chinese, Ailu
Lu rarely enters the classroom.
Therefore, of course, I don’t know English.
"Isn't Cheng Lin here? You can ask him to test you." Nuwa suggested.
Hearing this, Cao Wei said: "He disappeared after eating. I don't know where he went to play again."
Before she could speak again, Cao Wei said immediately:
"It doesn't matter. I made the phonetic notation. Look, the pronunciation is written after each word. Just look at it."
"Then... okay." Ai Lu thought for a while and could only agree. Then she took the textbook, glanced at Cao Wei who was standing in front of her with her hands behind her back, and said: "Paper, paper."
"Bah!"
"Use, exploit."
"Grapefruit!"
"The future, the future."
"Corrupt postmark!"
"Probably, maybe."
"Purao Bo Lei!"
…
After finishing the last word test, Ailu closed the textbook and praised: "It's all right, it's really amazing."
Cao Wei was so happy immediately, and then turned to go upstairs to play. When she disappeared on the stairs, Ailu suddenly remembered that she didn't take her schoolbag.
He sighed helplessly and reached for it, but accidentally dropped a book on the ground.
"Crack."
Ellu hurriedly bent down to pick it up, then casually glanced at the cover, was slightly startled, and then stared at the word "creature" for a long time. Suddenly, she opened it accidentally and started reading slowly.
This look lasted for dozens of minutes.
At first, there was just a curious expression on her face. The more she read, the more surprised she became. As the reading deepened, her brows slowly wrinkled, as if she was lost in thought.
…
…
When Cheng Lin came back from practicing swordsmanship in World No. 4, he pushed the door in. He glanced at Nuwa first, and when she saw that she didn't respond, he walked in. Finally, he found Ai Lu in the kitchen.
She is currently wearing an apron and washing a green pepper. In the middle of summer, she only wears thin home clothes. Her pink-white neck has her hair tied at the top, completely exposing her two pointed ears.
Cheng Lin suddenly smiled, deliberately lowered his steps, walked slowly over, came behind her, and then slowly hugged her from behind.
Ellu immediately tensed up, and then she felt a familiar chin placed on her shoulder, and a voice with a warm breath came from her left ear: "It's me."
Ai Lu breathed a sigh of relief, then bit her lip and said, "Don't make trouble."
"No trouble." Cheng Lin said, and moved his hands dishonestly. Ailu's ears immediately turned red, trembling slightly, and said, "Nuwa is still here..."
"It's okay, she won't notice, I used my powers to block it." Cheng Lin continued, untying the string of his apron. Over the past three years, he had already become familiar with it.
Immediately, he suddenly frowned, forced Elu to turn around, and said curiously:
"You seem to be out of sorts today, what's wrong?"
Without using his divine realm perception, he could clearly feel that Elu was a little depressed and absent-minded.
This made him extremely confused.
Auntie? No, it should be decades before Ellu becomes Auntie.
Facing Cheng Lin's fiery and doubtful eyes, the Elf High Priest hesitated for a moment, and finally raised his head. This time, Cheng Lin completely saw the complexity in her eyes.
"What's going on? Tell me." Cheng Lin asked again.
Then, I heard Ailu's lips move and said, "I just read the biology textbook Xiaocao brought back."
"Then what?" Cheng Lin became more and more confused and couldn't figure out what this was.
Then, Ai Lu bit her lip and said pitifully: "Cheng Lin, tell me honestly, did you already know this?"
"What do you know?" Cheng Lin's tone became increasingly anxious.
Ai Lu's eyes suddenly became misty and she said, "We...do we have reproductive isolation?"
wtf?!
Cheng Lin was confused for a moment and couldn't follow her train of thought.
Immediately, he heard Elu continue:
"The book... the book says that different species have reproductive isolation, and there is no way... there is no way to give birth to the next generation, so... I... I can't get pregnant?"
"..." Cheng Lin didn't know what to say for a moment. It wasn't until this moment that he finally figured it out. He was stunned for a few seconds before he laughed and said, "So, is this why you are unhappy?"
Elu immediately pinched his leg and said angrily: "You're still laughing!"
"Hahaha... I'm sorry, I couldn't help it." Cheng Lin was so happy that he couldn't stop laughing.
Fortunately, it was shielded with special powers, otherwise such a big movement would have attracted others.
After laughing enough, he looked at the elf who looked like he was about to cry and explained:
"Well... ok, I won't laugh, I won't laugh, um... let me ask you this question... how do you say it?
It stands to reason that reproductive isolation is indeed possible, but according to the information I have learned before, this possibility is not very high.
Didn't the people on Earth conduct genetic sampling on you during the projection? I later learned about the relevant research, and there is a high probability that there will be no delay."
"Really?" Ellu asked in surprise.
"Why did I lie to you? It's just..." Cheng Lin said, suddenly hesitating.
"Just what?"
"It's just that, according to research, although there is a high probability that it can be done, the success rate is relatively low..." Cheng Lin said seriously.
"The success rate is low?" Ai Lu said blankly.
"Yes, so if you want to win the bid, you can only use the number of times to increase the success rate." Cheng Lin smiled narrowly.
Ai Lu finally understood the implication, her face turned red with embarrassment, and said: "You... you..."
Before she could say a word, she suddenly let out an exclamation.
Cheng Lin suddenly used both hands to lift her up, strode upstairs, and said with a smile:
"So... let's not waste any time!"
