The day went on until very late before everyone dispersed cleanly.
They left a night light for Shen Tong. The halo of light was yellowish, and the clear moonlight contrasted with it, it was a gentle color.
Shen Tong laid on the bed for a long time.
He remembered that when he was still a seed and broke out from the soil, this world was full of uncertainty and a sense of distance.
But now it was different.
He had received a lot of kindness, a lot of love, and even a home again.
A home with Caesar, with the butler, with the lovely maids and guards of Perth Palace, with his family, who shared his last name, and with …….
his parents.
What he lost, surprisingly, was all properly preserved by the years.
As he thought about this, Shen Tong’s terminal rang.
Someone sent a message.
Shen Tong opened it.
It was Shen Jue.
[Already made an appointment with a doctor for grandparents, with no surprises, they can be thawed out next week, I will notify you in advance at that time].
Shen Tong’s eyelashes fluttered.
For a long time, his brows curved lightly, and he laughed silently.
He had lost nothing.
That was good.
The next day.
Facing the rare winter sun, Shen Tong pulled open the curtains.
His room faced the garden, the Shen family obviously picked such a room for him, Shen Tong sunbathed for a while, then remembered that he hadn’t logged on StarNet for a long time, and used the terminal to casually take a picture, intending to post it.
As a result, before he even opened StarNet, a call request was sent over first.
“Tongtong, Tongtong,” Shen Hua hurriedly spoke, “Are the rumours on StarNet true?”
He said incredulously, “Is that cub really yours?”
Shen Tong: “What cub?”
Shen Hua: “That ugly cub that looks exactly like that person.”
Who?
Shen Tong was so confused by what he heard that he simply clicked on the star network himself.
As soon as the page opened, he was flooded with messages.

Shen Tong: “?”
What happened?
He followed one of the latest @ messages and opened the homepage of a rather familiar blogger.
She had reposted his updates from the day he had reported that he was safe.
@EatPomegranateSeeds:? This little lion …… is the Majesty’s cub? You guys? The cub is so familiar! /@Shen Tong: peace [pic]
Shen Tong: “?”
He suddenly had a not-so-good feeling, Shen Tong hurriedly opened the comments, and he then realized how much of a misunderstanding he had caused with his peace announcement post that day.
To be precise, it was the picture he posted, the little snow lion, caused a lot of misunderstanding.
[Grass, this little lion, is it really exactly like His Majesty? I remember last time someone said the number of snow lions is very small, this, this ……?]
[Sisters, I’ve put together a comparison picture of His Majesty and this little lion.]
[？？？？？ Are they really identical?]
[They have a cub?]
[What kind of plot is this? Get on the bus first and make up the ticket later?]
[TN: meaning have a child then get married later.]
[What?]
Shen Tong was dumbfounded, and it took him a few seconds to grasp the point–
Wasn’t his gender male?
Didn’t there exist any reproductive barrier in this era?
Shen Tong was at a loss.
As soon as this photo was posted, because it was suspected that the little snow lion in the picture was the future crown prince of the empire, it almost immediately blew up, with various verified accounts getting involved, and the Star Network also made a lot of noise about it.
Previously, the netizens were divided into two groups. One group determined that Shen Tong was their future queen, while the other group was convinced that Shen Tong was just taking advantage to be popular, first posting catnip to get attention, and now changing it to Caesar.
Once the photo of the little white lion was posted, those who thought Shen Tong was the ironclad queen became more certain, while the other group felt that Perth officials never moved and remained skeptical.
In this way, the public said that the public had a point, others concluded they had a point, the people online were arguing every day –
What’s the deal with this little white lion?
Why hasn’t Perth Palace spoken yet?
It was like this for a long time.
Shen Tong: “……”
He skimmed through it in a single glance and had quite a headache.
By all rights, there should be an explanation.
But how should this situation be explained?
It was so outrageous that Shen Tong simply didn’t know where to explain it.
Shen Tong wrinkled his eyebrows in agony.
“…… isn’t true.” It took Shen Tong a long time to find his voice and he asked Shen Hua with difficulty, “You also think it’s true?”
Shen Hua honestly responded, “I have long seen that that stinky cat also wants to raise Tong Tong, he deliberately scented Tongtong, so I thought there was a little bit of truth.”
Shen Tong: “……”
He said helplessly, “I have something to do, let’s talk about it later.”
Although Shen Hua was reluctant, he still obediently said “Okay”, and Shen Tong ended the call.
He felt that the most important thing right now was to go find Caesar to discuss what to clarify.
Shen Tong patted his face a few times and walked out of the room.
But after thinking about it, he didn’t hold back and sent another message to Shen Hua:
[Can males also have children together in this era? And …… everyone no longer has a reproductive divide?]
Yes, Shen Tong always had a nagging feeling about this.
Why on earth would anyone believe such an outrageous rumor!
Shen Tong was puzzled.
Shen Hua should also be busy, Shen Tong waited for a while and saw that he didn’t reply, so he knocked on Caesar’s room door.
The door quickly opened.
The man looked lazy, the blonde hair that was meticulously combed up in the past was down, and the buttons that should have been tied to the lower end of his throat were left open, revealing a sturdy chest, and his black military uniform was loosely draped over his body.
He absently asked Shen Tong, “What’s wrong?”
His voice was very low, obviously he also just woke up not long ago.
It was rare for Shen Tong to see such a Caesar.
He looked at him for a few moments and took the terminal out and handed it to Caesar.
“What do we do?”
“Huh?”
Caesar lazily received Shen Tong’s terminal, his bony fingers touched the screen, and then he stared at him for a moment.
After a few seconds, Caesar raised his eyebrows with interest.
Shen Tong asked him softly, “Isn’t it time to clarify?”
Caesar didn’t answer immediately, he was still scrolling through the comments.
He had already seen the topic of people debating whether Shen Tong was the Queen and the cub being the suspected Crown Prince.
[@Perth Palace, come out and get beaten. Is @Shen Tong the Queen or not? Do you have the ability to update your posts but not the ability to respond?”]
[If he’s the Queen, how can Perth Palace not respond for so long? If you don’t respond, he’s definitely not ah, the officials are too lazy, there is no need to respond to such trivial thingy.]
[Why don’t you think for a moment, would His Majesty’s nature would allow someone to take him on a gimmick? Because this topic has been on the hot search list for so long and hasn’t been removed once, it must be His Majesty’s permission.]
Hot search list?
Caesar excitedly opened the hot search list.
There were three topics that were still hot:
#Queen Shen Tong of the Empire#
#You’re awake? The empire already has a crown prince and you’re not in love.
#The little snow lion and the big snow lion #
Caesar roughly skimmed through each topic, and no matter what was said in there, in the end it would devolve into a battleground for arguing whether or not Shen Tong was the Queen of the Empire. He finally said thoughtfully, “It’s time to clarify.”
Only this “clarification”, Caesar said it in a rather meaningful way.
Shen Tong didn’t think much about it.
Caesar took out his terminal, logged on to his StarNet account, which he had barely used since registering, and edited a post.
Send.
“There.”
Shen Tong nodded.
At this time, Shen Hua finally replied to him.
Shen Tong’s terminal was still in Caesar’s hands, and as soon as the message was received, it was automatically displayed on the screen, which Caesar saw without surprise.
[Can males have children together in this era? And …… everyone no longer has a reproductive barrier?]
[Isn’t incubation pod breeding the equivalent of giving birth, Kiri?]
Caesar let out a light tsk.
He returned the personal terminal to Shen Tong, his gaze sullenly fixed on him: ”What? You’re inquiring about how to give me a crown prince?”
Shen Tong: “……”
His ears burned a little, but he still tried to remain calm, “I just don’t quite understand why they all believe that little snow lion was born by me.”
He lowered his head and pretended to look at the message on his terminal, his finger absently swiping upwards on the screen, the front page of the StarNet automatically refreshed, Shen Tong glanced over, “Now that it’s been clarified, I’ll just-”
He was made speechless.
Because the StarNet algorithm automatically pushed Caesar’s post to Shen Tong.
Caesar: He’s the queen, not born yet.
Shen Tong: “?”
Just these few words, it was very concise, but it still startled Shen Tong.
“What are you rambling about?”
“What am I rambling about?”
Caesar glanced at him, looking as usual.
Shen Tong: “…… You said queen.”
Caesar calmly asked, “Aren’t you?”
“You received my crown, and I came to meet your family.” He gave a slight pause and said with a wry smile, “According to the customs of the Blue Planet, doesn’t that mean you already belong to me?”
“No.” Shen Tong had already been led astray by him and subconsciously said, “There are still people you haven’t seen.”
“Your parents?”
Shen Tong nodded and corrected him, “So, you haven’t finished meeting them.”
Caesar asked him submissively, “Then when are you going to take me to see them?”
“Shen Jue said that they will be …… next week.”
Shen Tong suddenly paused.
The key point was he hadn’t agreed to being the queen yet, not whether he had finished meeting the parents.
He wrinkled his brow, “I haven’t agreed to it.”
Caesar laughed softly, his hand reached out and drew him into his arms, his jaw resting against the top of Shen Tong’s head, he held him tightly, his voice ringing out from the top down, “It’s too late.”
Shen Tong was annoyed, but didn’t push him away.
It was quiet, but Shen Tong was rarely this cooperative, Caesar lowered his head slightly. The morning light fell on the youth face, his skin was fair, eyelashes were very long, and his eyes glistened.
Caesar’s mind moved, then he planted a kiss on Shen Tong’s forehead.
Very light, as if the person in his arms was made of porcelain, lest with a little force, he would break.
This was his precious treasure.
Shen Tong subconsciously held his breath under his gaze.
In the next second, he buried his face deep into the man’s shoulder, only the slightly reddened complexion out at the back of his neck gave away his true mood.
This shy manner, was no doubt pleasing to Caesar, he allowed the youth to nestle in his arms like that, and lifted his hand to absently swipe the StarNet a few more times.
It should be known that every Star Citizen would automatically follow Caesar after signing up for a StarNet account, and he had never made a post before, so many people had forgotten that there was still this sire lying on their lists, until his post suddenly popped up.
Needless to say, the content was enough to make people scared off their terminals.
He’s the Queen, not born yet.
He’s the Queen!
The Queen ！！！！！
Was this His Majesty’s answer to the earlier dispute on Star Online?
At this moment, the netizens who always believed that Shen Tong would be the future queen finally raised their eyebrows.
They coincidentally @ the netizens who had been fighting with them in the past few days under this post.
[@Yangmei Dot Dot Dot, come out! Stop chasing after stars! Look at His Majesty himself admitting it!!!]
[@Don’t want to be a human being today either @Coke with goji berries @What time is it and you’re still up? I’m afraid you guys can’t see it, so I specially @You guys… @Shen Tong is our future queen!!!! See!!! His Majesty personally came out and admitted it!!!]
[Hahahahahahahahahaha At that time you guys didn’t believe me, and now you’re being! Beat! In The Face! Now! BAR!!!]
……
After getting out of breath, everyone started to wish them the best.
After all, Interstellar was about to have a queen, and no matter what, it was a great thing to celebrate.
[Wish +99!!!]
[Before all said that this blogger is a human catnip, I also went to see his live broadcast, I liked this blogger, and felt that the person is super gentle, your majesty, you and him should be good ah ！！！！]
[I woke up, even your majesty has a queen, where is my boyfriend ？？？？ What dump are you in, I’ll come get you?]
[Wow ！！！！ Congratulations Your Majesty ah!!!]
……
In the midst of the flurry of well wishes, someone inquired curiously, [Wondering about the Queen’s breed. He literally makes cats dizzy just like Little catnip, can Your Majesty reveal what kind of cat the Queen is, QAQ?]
Caesar wasn’t going to pay any attention to it, until his afterglow caught a glimpse of the person’s StarNet ID-
Little Catnip is my wife.
Caesar snorted lightly and replied to this person alone.
[Not a cat, Catnip.]
It was clear exactly whose wife it was.
“Little Catnip is My Wife” was a big fan of Catnip.
After she left her message, she went to revisit Catnip’s past live videos.
There was no other way, since the little Catnip successfully passed the growth period, according to his wishes, the live broadcast was suspended, everyone missed it, but could only constantly revisit the past video screen, barely to maintain the appearance of a daily inhalation.
On this day, she chose the recording screen of Catnip’s first on-camera appearance.
It was still in the Academy!
“Little Catnip is My Wife” was watching intently, but her terminal was vibrating frantically at that moment.
She didn’t want to pay any attention to it, but the terminal vibrated harder and harder, so she finally had to pause the recording and quit to read the messages.
In the large group of grass suckers she had joined, all the messages were @ing her.
“Little Catnip is My Wife” tapped on it suspiciously.
[@LittleCatnipisMyWife, Sister you’ve been flipped by His Majesty!!!]
[In? In? @littlecatnipismywife.]
[？？？？？？ What did His Majesty say??? What did he say? How come I can understand every word, but I can’t read them all together ？？？？]
[Does anyone know how to do reading comprehension? I don’t think I can understand it either.]
[Sisters calm down ！！！！ @little catnip is my wife, come out quickly to get beaten!!!]
[No, how did a good person turn into grass! And also this stinky cat took him!?!!]
……
It was obvious that everyone wasn’t too happy about it.
Based on their speeches, “Little Catnip is My Wife” knew that her message had been replied to by His Majesty, but she didn’t know what he had replied to that made the whole group go crazy.
“Little Catnip is My Wife” opened StarNet with her head full of questions.
In the next second, she also froze.
[Not a cat, catnip.]
Little Catnip is My Wife: ?
What catnip?
What was this Majesty talking about?
One of them must not be awake!
After pondering for a short while, “Little Catnip is My Wife” calmly opened the group and replied to everyone: [Are you guys nuts? His Majesty said not cat, catnip, he means, not cat, not catnip, he just omitted a few words, look at you all with this unproductive look].
The group members were silent for a few seconds, and one after another, someone responded: [Sister you’re right.]
[This reading comprehension is well done! May I ask if you are the roundworm in His Majesty’s stomach!]
[That’s right, how can this stinky man get Little catnip, I don’t believe it!!!]
[Grass, that makes sense!!!]
……
The 10,000-strong grass-sucking group, so vividly and vividly performed a “you failed language”, as well as forcibly made a reading comprehension.
But to everyone’s surprise, they couldn’t even keep up the self-deception for long.
Once Caesar’s posts was updated, it undoubtedly attracted the attention of all parties.
Various official blogs of course immediately reposted it.
@CapitalStarOfficeV: Repost / @CaesarV: He’s the Queen, not born yet.
@Lance Legion V: Repost/@Caesar V: He’s the Queen, not born yet.
@LanceLegionV: Repost/@CaesarV: He’s the queen, no birth yet.
……
The most notable of these was the official Perth Palace account.
Instead of reposting Caesar’s post, it posted a video it had posted earlier.
It was a video of Shen Tong with his face cut off, playing the piano, and it was accompanied by a new text.
@Perth Palace: your little Catnip suddenly appeared.jpg
Surprise, surprise, surprise?
[Video]
The pointing was so obvious that it was close to saying outright that the little catnip you love to smell is your future queen!
The crowd in the group:”…………………”
Grass.
Now they couldn’t even lie to themselves.
People were confused.
Really confused.
What was this situation?
Who would have thought that by the time they met up with Little catnip again, he would actually have become a queen!
No, who would have thought that they had actually seen Little catnip turn into a human long ago!
And used him as a catnip substitute!
For a moment, the group was as quiet as a chicken.
Surprisingly, everyone didn’t know whether to spit on that smelly cat that had taken the catnip first, or whether to hate themselves for not having the eyes to recognize catnip!
In fact, their group of people was already considered good, after all, they just used Shen Tong as catnip replacement, no matter what thoughts they had, they still seriously watched Shen Tong’s live broadcast and also sent him gifts, at this time there was also a group of people regretting incomparably.
This group of people thought that Shen Tong was rubbing the heat of catnip before, giving himself a persona of humanoid catnip.
They were actually doing this out of their love for catnip and disliked being associated with him.
So when Caesar said that, the group was almost stunned.
The blogger they hated was actually catnip himself????
They actually trolled him for using catnip the wrong way?
The point was that he was catnip in the first place?
There was no such thing as using it the wrong way ！！！！
Was it too late to apologize?
On this day, the whole intergalactic world was almost going crazy.
Those who had slagged off Shen Tong’s “catnip in human form” persona regretted it, and those who borrowed Shen Tong to substitute as catnip regretted that they were blind to it.
The Star network was filled with wails.
Who would have thought that their little catnip would actually secretly broadcast live!
Who could have thought of this!!!
Who would have thought it!!!
After the wailing, everyone unanimously focused on the “future queen”.
That was to say, after their little Catnip had passed through the growth period, a shameless lion had gotten his hands on him!
The lion stole their catnip!
Little Catnip was the treasure of all the stars, why should it be monopolized by that stinky cat!
The netizens who had previously blessed Caesar wanted to swallow their blessings.
Of course, people didn’t dare to be reckless under Caesar’s post and rushed to Shen Tong’s StarNet account to post comments.
[Little Catnip, I don’t listen! It’s that stinky man’s wishful thinking, right?!!!]
[Stinky cat can, I can also ！！！！ Little catnip , choose me ah! Choose me!!! White american short hair cat, super cute and kind, can lie flat at your disposal, what fun is that stinky lion QAQ]
[Little catnip ,mom forbids you to fall in love early ah ah ah ah ah ！！！！！！！！！！]
[little catnip how did you agree to be his queen????? Have you been kidnapped!!! Blink your eyes, I’m coming to rescue you!!!]
[Little Catnip, that smelly man next door’s speech will take you a few days of coaxing for me to get better :)]
[What? How come I woke up with no wife ？？？？]
……
There was a lot of noise on StarNet.
And that screen full of wives made Caesar very unhappy.
He wanted to have someone delete the accounts of these people who were calling him their wives indiscriminately.
In fact, Caesar also put this into action.
His face sank, and it didn’t take Shen Tong long to notice, as he softly inquired, “What’s wrong?”
Caesar didn’t answer right away, so Shen Tong inclined his head to look at it himself; the screen full of wives and exclamation points made him smile, and he had a rough idea of what the man was annoyed about.
“They’re just playing.” Shen Tong calmed him down, “Screaming nonsense.”
“Screaming nonsense doesn’t work either.”
Caesar frowned, he had opened his contact list and was typing, Shen Tong glanced at him and helplessly yanked away his terminal, “Don’t be so childish.”
Caesar stared at him expressionlessly.
This jealousy was too inexplicable, Shen Tong thought for half a day and finally came up with a word to describe him, “Are you the king of jealousy?”
He closed the page that sent the message and was talking when he accidentally clicked on a software.
It was a live streaming software.
After clicking in, he automatically logged in, and the personal information displayed was a very simple “C”.
Shen Tong was stunned.
Of course he remembered this “C”, during Shen Tong’s live broadcasts, “C” gave him many gifts, but Shen Tong suspected that this person was underage, so he deliberately asked this Mr. C whether to return the gifts.
Shen Tong was surprised, “This C, is that you?”
Anyway, having been discovered, Caesar let out a “hmm”.
Shen Tong: “…… I thought it was a young person that stole money from their parents.”
Caesar was still unhappy, but in the face of Shen Tong, he tried to restrain himself, but his tone was still slightly cold, “What parents will be so rich?”
The implication was that no one could be richer than him.
Shen Tong: “……”
Still angry.
He sighed and looked at Caesar with a smile, his voice was very soft, Shen Tong was very good at coaxing this big cat, he smoothed up Caesar’s fur for him without any trace, “Next week, would you like to accompany me to pick up my parents?”
“Shen Jue says that’s when they can be thawed out.”
Caesar gave a lurch.
After a few seconds, he let out a flat “hmmm”, his tone unruffled.
Shen Tong looked at him for a few moments and asked him in feigned distress, “Still not happy?”
He thought a little, edited a line with his own terminal, and clicked send.
“How about this?” Shen Tong smiled and showed him the terminal.
Stuck on his homepage was a post that had only just been updated.
Shen Tong V: got a cat @Caesar
Caesar stared at these words for a long time, then slowly raised his eyes and looked at Shen Tong fixedly.
Shen Tong blinked, “Now shouldn’t you hug me, or kiss-”
Before he could finish his sentence, he was forcefully tugged into the man’s arms. Shen Tong raised his eyes, Caesar also looked down at him, they looked at each other, both saw themselves in each other’s eyes, immediately afterward, Shen Tong’s jaw was gently lifted up, a not-so-gentle kiss reached him, Caesar attacked between his lips and teeth.
Their breathing entwined.
Shen Tong’s eyes gradually moistened.
He almost lost his strength, his fingers twitched, and the terminal fell to the carpet with him.
And with that movement, it unintentionally clicked on the comments.
[QAQ finished, little catnip also posted, I’m so sour, I’m really sour, I also want to be little catnip’s cat.]
[Who hasn’t fallen out of love? I cried so loud.]
[Let me guess, the reason why Little catnip posted this is because that smelly man was too cautious and took the opportunity to be jealous. In order to appease him, Little catnip had to post this.]
[Maybe that stinky cat is still with him. QAQ, doesn’t work, the more I say it, the more jealous I get.]
[Shut up, I’m not listening!]
……
On top of that, Shen Tong also received a bombardment of messages from Shen Hua.
[?]
[Tongtong? How did you become catnip?”]
[I don’t think you remember the last time I said the catnip pendant you made was ugly OvO]
[I just looked back again and the more I look at it, the cuter it gets QAQ]
……
The world was noisy, but what did it have to do with them?
Shen Tong raised his hand and gently touched the man’s hanging strands of platinum-colored hair.
His inattentiveness apparently displeased Caesar again, and he glanced at Shen Tong disgruntledly, followed by catching Shen Tong’s hand and punishingly biting down on his fingertips.
Light and shadow swayed, it was a nice day after a long time.
And on this day, he had a cat.
His cat, a big, bad-tempered, pampered, jealous cat.
He loved him.
Shen Tong wrapped his arms around Caesar’s waist and came close to press up against his face, bending his eyes in a silent smile.
–I was once forgotten by the light of day.
I was in a cage wherever I went, and I was in a hurry in the world.
You picked me up from the lightless depths of the sea, and placed me in the clouds.
Since then, the light of the sky has been bright and clear.
TN:
