“Harvey grew up with space pirates, so his personality might be a bit different from ordinary people,” Xavier explained.
Was this the reason?
Lu Wanqing felt a little dazed, but thinking about it, it made sense. The lives and values of space pirates were completely different from ordinary people. Harvey grew up with a pirate crew, so his personality would indeed be different from that of an ordinary child.
“I’ll talk to him later,” Xavier suddenly said, his voice still lazy but very serious.
Lu Wanqing paused upon hearing this, then suddenly remembered that among the fathers of the five children, Xavier seemed to be the calmest. When it came to educating children, she didn’t seem to have to worry too much about him.
“There’s no need to scold him. He didn’t do anything wrong in this matter. When someone bullies you to your face, you naturally have to fight back,” Lu Wanqing said.
Xavier looked at Lu Wanqing, his gaze a little different from usual.
Lu Wanqing felt uneasy under his gaze. After a moment of hesitation, she couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Xavier smiled and said, “It’s nothing. I was just a bit surprised. Earlier at school, I thought you’d make Harvey apologize.”
Lu Wanqing was speechless. “Why should he apologize? So many people bullied Harvey, and he beat them all down. Harvey is amazing, isn’t he?”
Xavier became even more pleased, the curve of his lips widening. “Yes, Harvey would be very happy if he knew you thought that.”
Lu Wanqing also thought of Harvey and couldn’t help but smile.
“He’s still young, and he’s only been back for a short time. Perhaps in a few years, he’ll know how to interact with his peers,” she said again after a moment of quiet.
Xavier looked at her with a strange expression. After a while, he nodded. “Mm.”
Lu Wanqing quickly remembered something else and immediately said, “But Harvey just said that the girls at school all like him and bring him breakfast every day. What do you think we should do about that? They’re still so young, and early dating… isn’t that not good?”
As Lu Wanqing spoke, her head started to ache. Fighting was just a small matter; the big problem was early dating. Harvey was still in primary school and was already liked by so many female classmates. Would this child have an early romance in the future?
Or perhaps… Harvey might already be in an early romance?
The thought of Harvey possibly having a girlfriend in primary school inexplicably sent shivers down her spine. She quickly shook her head. “No, they’re too young. Absolutely no early dating.”
Xavier’s brows also furrowed. He was clearly starting to consider the problem Lu Wanqing had raised. It was tricky.
Lu Wanqing looked at Xavier, wanting to know if he had any ideas. But after a long look, she saw the man frowning, seemingly unsure how to solve it.
Lu Wanqing hesitated and then said, “How about we take Harvey for a buzz cut?”
“In our time, students all had buzz cuts. And student clothes were also made to be loose and comfortable to wear, without excessive pursuit of aesthetic appeal.”
The opposite of not pursuing aesthetic appeal was to try to be as ugly as possible. If they were ugly, they wouldn’t be so prone to early dating.
Thinking this, Lu Wanqing simply explained the student rules of ancient Earth to Xavier.
Xavier was dumbfounded. He had looked up some information about ancient Earth and even seen videos of students from that era. Back then, he had thought they looked ugly. He never expected… that this was intentional?
But this seemed quite good, didn’t it?
Looking uglier and less likely to attract attention would indeed be safer and less prone to early dating.
“Alright, I’ll talk to Harvey about it later,” Xavier agreed, having figured it out.
The tension Lu Wanqing had been holding finally eased. At the same time, the hovercar arrived at the palace entrance.
Lu Wanqing got out of the car and watched Xavier drive away in the hovercar before heading towards the palace.
Inside the palace, the robot butler immediately sent a message to Lu Yang upon seeing Lu Wanqing return.
Lu Yang was in his study handling documents. Upon receiving the butler’s alert, he quickly came out of his study and walked towards Lu Wanqing. “You’re back?”
Lu Wanqing smiled and ran to her third brother, hugging him tightly.
Lu Yang hugged her back, in a good mood.
“Third Brother, how are the arrangements for Earth’s purification going? Have the people been selected to go?” Lu Wanqing asked, sitting down.
Earth was the place they cherished the most.
“Almost,” Lu Yang said with a smile.
“By the way, how has Eldest Brother been lately?” Lu Wanqing thought and couldn’t help but ask with concern.
For some reason, Lu Wanqing felt that her Eldest Brother was a bit strange, as if… he wasn’t very happy.
Lu Yang also fell silent at her words. After a moment, he replied, “Eldest Brother is studying. He says he wants to learn more about interstellar era knowledge.”
Lu Wanqing nodded and mumbled, “Mm, Eldest Brother was always a high-tech genius. Now that he’s suddenly in the interstellar era, he must be very interested in all the advanced technology here.”
Lu Yang found it amusing but still nodded. “Mm.”
Listening to her third brother, Lu Wanqing couldn’t help but look at him, feeling sweet in her heart. How could her third brother indulge her so much? No matter what she said, he always seemed to be on her side.
With that thought, Lu Wanqing couldn’t help but hug Lu Yang’s head and kiss him.
Lu Yang stiffened, as if he hadn’t expected her to suddenly take the initiative to kiss him. However… his heart was beating fast, and the tips of his ears turned red.
Ambiguous sounds soon filled the study, but there was no one else in the palace at that moment, and no one knew.

Outside the palace, at Ouyang Jian’s villa, Ouyang Yunduo was tied up and brought back by her own brother.
“Brother, are you crazy? Fine if it’s anyone else, but why are you stopping me too?” Ouyang Yunduo struggled fiercely, unconvinced.
Ouyang Jian looked at his sister with helplessness. “It’s precisely because I’m your brother, your biological brother, that I have to stop you!”
“Duo’er, be obedient. Ah Yang and Lu Wanqing are a match made in heaven. Don’t interfere unless you have nothing else to do, or you’ll only bring suffering upon yourself,” Ouyang Jian advised.
Ouyang Yunduo’s face darkened. “Who’s bringing suffering upon themselves? I… I just refuse to accept it!”
“Refuse to accept it, so you secretly leaked Lu Wanqing’s destination to Tianxing, causing Lu Wanqing to be captured by the insect empress?” Ouyang Jian said unhappily. 138 Reading Network.
Ouyang Jian looked at Ouyang Yunduo and said sternly, “Duo’er, I’ve already helped you erase the traces of this matter. Otherwise, if Ah Yang knew you did it, you wouldn’t be alive now.”
Ouyang Yunduo froze all over, then looked wronged.
Ouyang Jian looked at his sister and said again, “You should be glad that Lu Wanqing was lucky and escaped without any real danger. If something had really happened to her, I wouldn’t protect you. I would personally hand you over to Lu Yang to deal with!”
