Little Harvey was so endearing that Lu Wanqing's heart fluttered. How could anyone not love such a cub?
"Alright, Harvey, it's time to go down. It's getting late," Lu Wanqing said to Harvey.
Little Harvey nodded quickly in agreement, "Mm-hmm."
They descended from the star net together. Leaving the star net cabin, both of them were overjoyed, especially little Harvey, who was radiating happiness.
Xavier was not home; he had gone out for some reason.
Lu Wanqing found herself with rare free time. However, she soon remembered something. Xavier had mentioned before that after arriving on Mù Yǎn Star, he would arrange a school for Harvey.
If he was going to school, would he need a backpack?
Lu Wanqing lowered her gaze to look at little Harvey.
Little Harvey suddenly noticed his mother looking at him and asked happily, "Mommy, why are you looking at me?"
Lu Wanqing's mouth twitched. Harvey was indeed a social butterfly; wasn't he ever shy? She recalled how Lan Lan and Xiao Yi used to...
Thinking of those two children shyly hiding behind their father, Lu Wanqing felt a surge of happiness.
"Let's go check out the kitchen," Lu Wanqing suggested.
Little Harvey was taken aback, but then he remembered that his mommy could cook. When Mommy used to livestream, she had cooked for other children, and it looked incredibly delicious.
"Mommy, I want to eat your cooking too!" Little Harvey immediately said, his face full of anticipation.
Lu Wanqing found it amusing and agreed, "Okay."
Now that they finally had a house and a place to settle down, she could truly cook delicious meals for her little one.
The kitchen here was still a fully intelligent domestic robot kitchen. To cook herself, she would need to modify it. Fortunately, Lu Wanqing was very familiar with this kind of work. In fact...
Lu Wanqing thought of an idea. Besides repairing mechs, could she livestream cooking?
No matter the era, food should be something everyone enjoys, right?
When she was with Xiao Yi on the barren planet, many netizens had said they liked the cooking methods from ancient Earth and that many wanted to learn.
Later, after she and Xiao Yi were successfully rescued and left the barren planet, she had also considered making a set of ancient Earth tableware and selling it online. It should have earned some money, but unfortunately, she became too busy and couldn't arrange it.
However...
Things like this, even if she didn't do it, others probably would, right?
When she was on the barren planet, she had played with exploration and fishing, and before she was rescued, many people on the star net had already imitated her tools. No, it couldn't be called imitation; they must have looked up the appearance of ancient Earth tools and made them.
If others were making those things, kitchenware should be the same, right?
Lu Wanqing thought about it, opened her datapad, and began searching for kitchenware. The moment she searched, she felt happy. They really existed!
However, after carefully looking at the prices, her eyelids twitched. They were too expensive! What profiteers!
But regardless of the price, she still had to buy them. It wasn't that she didn't have any, but if she used her own tools for livestreaming, she would be too conspicuous and would be recognized immediately.
If she used kitchenware purchased from the star net, the problem should be minimal.
Everyone knew what her tools looked like. If someone suddenly appeared on a livestream with cooking utensils that were not the set created by the Mu family for her, it would be less likely to reveal her identity, right?
"Mommy, what are you smiling about?" Little Harvey suddenly noticed his mother smiling again and asked curiously.
Lu Wanqing snapped back to reality. She looked down at little Harvey and said with a smile, "Mommy wants to buy a set of kitchenware on the star net."
Little Harvey's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly, "Mm-hmm."
But soon, little Harvey became confused again. "Doesn't Mommy have any?"
Lu Wanqing shook her head. "I do, but Mommy wants to livestream, like, livestream cooking. It should earn some money."
As Lu Wanqing spoke, she pinched Harvey's nose and smiled, "If Mommy earns money, I can spend it on little Harvey and raise Harvey to be plump and healthy, right?"
"I don't want to get fat!" Little Harvey immediately became alert and said quickly.
Lu Wanqing suddenly laughed. She nodded, "Yes, Harvey won't get fat."
However, to buy the tools, she still needed money, and quite a substantial amount at that. Lu Wanqing couldn't help but look towards the door, wondering when Xavier would return.
Just as she was about to indulge in her thoughts, a noise suddenly came from outside the door.
Lu Wanqing froze, then quickly moved to go outside and check.
Little Harvey followed Lu Wanqing.
But the moment she stepped out and took a look, Lu Wanqing's heart leaped into her throat. She instinctively grabbed Harvey and quickly retreated back into the house.
She locked the door and subconsciously reached for her space warp, intending to retrieve her Super S-level mech, but... if her advanced S-level mech was exposed, wouldn't their identities be exposed soon too?
"Let's go upstairs," Lu Wanqing thought, quickly leading little Harvey upstairs. They hid in a room and locked the door again.
After doing all this, Lu Wanqing quickly sent a message to Xavier.
"Xavier, where are you? Many people have entered the house, acting suspiciously. They don't look like good people!" Lu Wanqing messaged nervously.
After sending the message, Lu Wanqing looked back and realized that Harvey had already climbed onto the window and was curiously looking down.
Lu Wanqing's heart pounded. She quickly went over and grabbed Harvey.
However, at that moment, she froze because she saw the scene downstairs through the window.
Xavier had returned at some point. He and Uncle Wu were dealing with the intruders, taking them down one by one, and they were fierce!
After knocking people down, Xavier, like discarding trash, threw them all out one by one.
Lu Wanqing: "..."
Little Harvey was extremely happy and couldn't help but share with his mother, "Mommy, isn't my dad amazing? Even more amazing than the dad of that kid from the Zhongli family!"
"When I grow up, I want to be as amazing as Daddy!" Little Harvey said admiringly.
Lu Wanqing's relieved heart finally settled. She came back to her senses, looked at little Harvey, and asked with a smile, "Mm."
But...
Lu Wanqing hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "Does Harvey really have to be a space pirate?"
However, the moment Lu Wanqing asked this question, she quickly shook her head and hastily added, "It's nothing, forget I said it."
Harvey's identity was special. From birth, he was destined to be different from ordinary people. There was no way around it.
"Harvey," Lu Wanqing thought, and couldn't help but say, "If you become a space pirate when you grow up, you must protect yourself, understand?"
Those who didn't understand might think being a space pirate was cool, but those who truly thought would understand that space pirates faced the greatest dangers and could face life-threatening situations at any moment.
Little Harvey looked confused again. He didn't understand why his mother suddenly said this to him.
But remembering what his father had told him – that if he didn't understand something, he should just remember it and consider it later – he nodded again, "Mm-hmm!"
