A Suicidal Brainiac 14

The conference started too quickly.

Two sides gathered in the conference hall but separated in tables looking at each other. Professor Hu, together with the people he worked with on his projects were on the right side, while Xiu Lin, Fei Yang, Xiu Hao and Xiu Zou sat on the other side with Du Jin being the guard behind them.

Xiu Zou suggested the idea of them coming.

It was because they didn't want to go to work. But unfortunately, this seems to be a bit more work than they could have had imagined. But for their cute baby brother, of course, nothing is impossible.

The media personnel were gathered in the audience. The entire network were highlighting this event quite strongly. Because this had something to do with the new discoveries that actually helped majority of people, it is reasonable to know who really must take credit for it. Everyone had been wavering over whether to trust the Professor's words after learning that Xiu Lin was an Astixian.

An all in and out genius.

Looking at both sides, press began to ask questions.

"Professor is it true that you plagiarized Professor Hu's work?" the question seemed simultaneously asked to the main topic.

Xiu Lin tilted his head. "It's the other way around." he replied.

"Liar! You little cheater! You don't deserve to be a scientist!" Old Hu pointed and began to viciously attack. "It was my work! My painstaking hard work!"

The drama on the other side was so great the camera took a good shot at him.

"Then do you know that the cell restoring fluids still isn't complete?" He asked.

"I know that--"

"Do you know that if you remove the A-7 from the fluid, it will cause the fluid to become a poison?"

"I also know that--"

"Do you know that it takes half a year before an entire cell is restored--"

"I know! It's my research! How will I not know!"

"Oh?" Xiu Lin gave out a rare smile. And like a spider who's web caught a buzzing fly in his traps, he tapped his long thin finger on the table and fixed his mic. "Well, thank you for being such an idiot." he said.

People looked at him surprise and the barrage of people and reporter online and in person looked at him almost confused.

Professor Hu's eyes reddened in anger, almost as if he was about to explode. "What?!"

"Don't worry, the cell fluid had been completed. Why would I submit it when it's still in harmful state? Also, A-7 fluid is the main component of the cell restoring fluid's container. It doesn't matter if you remove it. And finally, It doesn't take half a year, it only takes half a month. I've observed it properly while I was making the fluid." He finished. "Does this answer all the question on who plagiarized who?"

Not passing by ten minute mark of the interview, everyone looked at the young Astixian shocked. Their pupils couldn't help but shake as they changed glances from Professor Hu then to the younger professor Xiu.

"It is my research, what do I not know about it?"

"But according to this proposed research, all things you asked were actually true." one of the scientists asked.

"Oh, I wrote it like that because I know someone will steal it." Xiu Lin smiled again. "Professor Hu, do you know what an A-7 is?"

The old man Hu looked at the boy. His mouth trembling, hesitating to open again. Xiu Lin's words had already made him lose his confidence which is why he became afraid of saying something at all.

Xiu Lin, seeing him looking dumb, smiled and spoke again. "A-7 fluid is just a surviving mineral left in Planet Astix, that dead planet. I found out that it's a good component for making unique container. It won't explode even with miscalculations like a bulletproof glass. Don't you think that's so useful? Did you know that only us Astix knew the existence of A-7. Only now did I mention this."

It didn't take long before the Old Hu popped a vein. His eyes rolled and turned white as he fell on the ground. Other professors stepped back on instincts and someone shouted for the medic. Everything was so fast that the reporters didn't even noticed that Xiu Lin's group had already slipped away from the commotion.

"Let's celebrate." Xiu Zou hugged his youngest brother.

"Um." Xiu Lin agreed.

Xiu Hao hugged his little brother as well. "What does our baby want to eat?"

"Ice cream."

The two older sibling simultaneously agreed. Without even consulting either Fei Yang or Du Jin, the two entered the vehicle, waiting for the two to drive them to the intended destination.

The problem on Xiu Lin's side was already fixed, not long after professor Hu woke up, the police had already taken him to custody for plagiarism case and slander. More and more people cursed him online after watching the conference that lasted for ten minutes. Being tricked by the old crying and bawling his eyes out pitifully. The heart that was once touched and pained with pity is now hardened and hateful for being deceived.

.

After days of peace, Xiu Lin quit his job and let Fei Yang support him. He was living the life of a couch potato, almost merging into the sheets as he slept, eat and live.

Fei Yang would do his best to come home early and accompany his little love. Hugging and kissing the coquettish little fluff. When Xiu Lin felt that it was too much, he would push his face away and complain.

"Let's get married?" Fei Yang asked.

"Okay."

The beautiful boy looked up at him. After months of cohabiting with this man, Xiu Lin had slowly kneaded his heart and confirmed his own emotions. Although being an Astixian had it hard when it comes to loving, Xiu Lin considered that he can become a partner to Fei Yang himself even if emotions are not completely out of love.

Maybe in the next life, on the next world, his body will change and so will his emotions will finally be able to express themselves.

"I love you." Fei Yang whispered and kissed the tip of his nose.

"Um." Xiu Lin hugged the warm and strong body of his lover and closed his eyes, sniffing the manly scent that gave him a bit of comfort and envy.

Will my scent become manly on the next world? Xiu Lin expects that at least, one of his reincarnation is working out or something. Have some of that eight packs and muscles. Smelling like a big strong man that can make every girls have heart shaped eyes.

'What do you think?' Xiu Lin came to discuss this about his system.

1204 almost laughed out loud. [You're a cannon fodder of the cannon fodder, host. You might never become as suave as a male lead.] he explained.

'Speaking of, where the hell is this world's female lead?'

[Oh, she died.]

'When?'

[The female lead is part of the alliance that took you. But since Fei Yang wiped them out, she's also part of the troops that died.

In the original flow, you've already died and Fei Yang never met you. They managed to stop the alliance, meet the female lead when she was a prisoner. The male lead admired her determined eyes and found her interesting, made her slave soon fall in love, faced the typhoon and tsunami of problems, defeated the enemy and made lotsa baby.]

'Yuck.' Xiu Lin couldn't help but want to gag and imagined his lover actually being such a cliche and abusive CEO.

.

After a month when Fei Yang proposed, the two got married. It was a simple wedding where important people attended. But luxurious as hell that it was broadcasted outside for everyone to see.

Fei Yang bought an entire planet where the wedding will be held and decorated it with different kind of luxury. But he also accommodated his soon to be little husband to limit the people and lessen the time of the ceremony as the Xiu family isn't the type of people who like to do so much shit in regards of events.

If you marry, you marry. Make the fucking I do quickly and you don't need to have too much speech. The priest should read the passage quickly or the Xiu Family will faint with boredom, okay?

The demands were outrageous but they followed it anyway. The supposedly half day ceremony ended in an hour. The after party began and everyone who wants to enjoy it, enjoyed the party while the newly weds went to their destination for honeymoon.

Holding each other's hand, the ship flew away through the space. The galaxy lit by stars and and the sun on the far side. Watching as they left, Xiu Hao and Xiu Zou raised their glasses of wine in the skies in a sign of good riddance. Their identical grey purple eyes focused on the sky before turning their heads to the noisy Du Jin who was already drunk after drinking a bottle of wine.

"How long are you betting for them?" Xiu Hao asked.

"Twenty. You?"

"Twenty."

As the two agreed, they clung their glass together and took a sip.

As anticipated by the two older Xiu, twenty years later, two people were found in their home, hand held together, eyes closed and never opening it forever.

In the absolute eyes of Astixians, an Astix who made interracial relationship will never live past their forties. The reason was unknown, but it does indeed weaken an Astixian on the following years as they stayed with their beloved. But assuming that the Astix planet is still alive today, if Xiu Lin actually stayed with someone within his own kind, he could live passed a hundred and fifty. Although Xiu Lin has not reached forty yet, but the older siblings already speculated that his body would not really make it. however, in Fei Yang's case who was not affected by the forty year old rule, a bottle of poison was found beside him, an obvious sign that he followed his lover to the afterlife by force.

It seems like his love can never overturn even in death.
