"I'm here to be friends with you," Zhao Ri Tian stated his final conclusion.
Luo Qi hadn't reacted yet, but Ye Mu's internal alarm bells were ringing. One Mo Xuan wasn't enough, and now another? Kuaishu Ge.
Why did all these people want to be friends with his friends (emphasis on these four words)!
Don't you have friends?!
He took a step forward and said coldly, "Our Earth Star has also established diplomatic relations with the Insect Race."
Zhao Ri Tian looked at this human boy who could take down all his friends by himself, feeling a bit nervous. "So... so what?"
Ye Mu looked at this small cub, who was shorter than him and very frail:
"So, it's nothing amazing that your Pirate Star has established diplomatic relations with the Insect Race, and you don't need to come over to be friends with Luo Qi for this reason.
Besides, you wanted to teach us a lesson a few days ago. Why should we be friends with you?"
Luo Qi nodded: "Those were adult matters. We don't need to be friends because of that."
Zhao Ri Tian was a little anxious. "I'm not trying to be friends with you because of those things! And I know I was wrong. I won't bully people anymore."
Ye Mu still looked at Zhao Ri Tian with vigilance. Who knew if this kid from the pirate group was telling the truth?
Luo Qi didn't say anything. Ye Mu clearly didn't like this Zhao Ri Tian, and he didn't want to upset him over this.
He rolled his eyes, cleared his throat, and said, "Zhao Ri Tian, let me tell you, Ye Mu is my best friend. Although I want to be friends with you too, Ye Mu's opinion is very important to me.
So if you want to be friends with me, you have to be friends with Ye Mu first."
This sentence was not just an ordinary sentence; it was linguistic art.
In Ye Mu's heart, Luo Qi's words meant: Ye Mu is my best friend, Ye Mu... is very important.
In Zhao Ri Tian's heart, Luo Qi's words meant: I also want to be friends with you.
Ye Mu and Zhao Ri Tian's ear tips simultaneously turned a little red.
See? I'm the best/very important.
Ye Mu felt that since Luo Qi had said this, perhaps he should also give in a little.
Zhao Ri Tian also felt that although Ye Mu was a bit violent, friends were friends, and being friends with Ye Mu would be quite good.
He took the initiative to ask, "Ye Mu, are you willing to be friends with me?"
Luo Qi watched the reactions of these two with a smile. For children, making friends was probably a very ceremonial and solemn matter.
Ye Mu pursed his lips and nodded, "Then I'm reluctantly willing to be friends with you."
Zhao Ri Tian didn't mind Ye Mu's reluctance at all. Seeing Ye Mu nod, he ran to Luo Qi and said, "Okay, Ye Mu is willing to be friends with me. What about you?"
Compared to the fierce Ye Mu, Luo Qi, who was willing to give him cookies and was much cuter, naturally fit Zhao Ri Tian's criteria for choosing friends better.
Luo Qi glanced at Ye Mu, then smiled and said, "Since Ye Mu is willing to be friends with you, then I'll be friends with you too."
The two were indeed satisfied, completely unaware that they were being played in the palm of this cunning little insect cub.
This incident illustrated a principle, a principle that Ye Mu would see more and more clearly for a long time to come.
That is, Luo Qi is a player, no, a play-insect, this little cub can be friends with anyone!
For a week, Cecil couldn't find a good way to stop Luo Qi from visiting Ye Mu's home on Earth Star.
So on Friday evening after school, the father, Cecil, with his lips pursed into a straight line, watched Ye Yun smilingly take Ye Mu and Luo Qi onto the starship.
This was Luo Qi's first time returning to Earth Star since he had "died." However, after studying interstellar common sense for two weeks, he knew that Earth Star was no longer the same as before.
But after all, they shared the same origin, and Luo Qi was still very nostalgic for everything on Earth Star.
Ye Mu remembered something and suddenly pursed his lips to Luo Qi, "If someone named Ye Qi makes any excessive demands of you, you must refuse."
Luo Qi: "Who is Ye Qi?"
Ye Mu seemed reluctant to admit it, but he still confessed, "He's my brother. He... quite likes you."
Luo Qi asked curiously, "Then what kind of excessive behavior will there be?"
Ye Mu gave a weak smile, "You'll know when the time comes." He thought for a moment and added, "Although I really don't want to say this, in fact, my brother's temper is like my mother's."
Luo Qi was full of question marks and didn't quite understand what Ye Mu was trying to say. What did excessive behavior mean?
Ye Yun, piloting the starship, heard his son's words and smiled without speaking. Alas, some little insects were too inexperienced.
Luo Qi was confused the entire way. No matter how much he asked later, Ye Mu didn't say much, only telling him to speak up if he felt uncomfortable and to treat the Ye family as his own home.
This confusion lasted until they disembarked the starship and took a hovercar all the way to the entrance of the Ye family's home.
Two people stood at the entrance: one tall and handsome, the other radiant and elegant. They were likely Ye Mu's mother and brother.
Luo Qi greeted them obediently, then heard Ye Mu's brother say, "Oh my, it must be little Luo Qi, right? I'm Ye Qi. You can call me Gege along with Xiao Mu."
Luo Qi called out, "Gege."
Ye Qi's eyes narrowed happily. He suddenly stepped forward, ran to Luo Qi, and picked him up.
Luo Qi was startled and hugged Ye Qi's neck tightly. He heard Ye Qi whisper in his ear:
"Ye Mu said you're like a glutinous rice ball, and now it seems he was right. You're soft and fluffy, and quite light."
Luo Qi: "?"
Then Ye Qi said, "You're so small, can you bathe yourself? Gege will help you bathe?"
Luo Qi: "???" Mom, there's a pervert!
The Insect Mother Tree couldn't hear Luo Qi's terrified cry, but Ye Mu's mother, who was beside them, slapped Ye Qi.
The slap made Luo Qi feel pain. Ye Qi shut his mouth sheepishly and was taken from Ye Qi's arms by Madam Ye.
Luo Qi had never been held by an elder female before in his life. He felt extremely uncomfortable for a moment, feeling that something was wrong everywhere.
His little face turned red, and he wanted to get down from Madam Ye's embrace, but Madam Ye leaned in and kissed his cheek:
"Little Luo Qi, let Auntie kiss you."
Luo Qi was stunned, his eyes spinning like pinwheels. This Madam Ye was so... so... bold?
Ye Yun looked at Luo Qi, whose face was so red it was about to bleed, with a mixture of amusement and helplessness. He coaxed Madam Ye into putting Luo Qi down.
It was their first meeting, and he didn't want his eccentric aunt to scare the child again.
Luo Qi finally stood on the ground again and walked with Ye Mu.
Ye Mu quietly asked, "Scary?"
Luo Qi nodded heavily, "To be honest, I was terrified."
