"Harvey, Jr.: ..."
"Mommy wants to ask you a few questions, okay?" Lu Wanqing said.
Harvey, Jr. quickly nodded, "Mhm."
Lu Wanqing said seriously, "What's fifteen plus sixteen?"
Harvey, Jr. quickly lowered his head, opened his terminal, and calculated with it. It was very fast.
"No using the terminal to calculate." Lu Wanqing quickly stopped him.
Harvey, Jr. froze.
Lu Wanqing took out paper and a pen and placed them in front of Harvey, Jr. She said, "Using the method the teacher taught in class just now, can you calculate it for Mommy?"
Harvey's little face creased into a small bun, "Mommy, I don't know how."
Lu Wanqing: "..."
"Mommy, I don't think it's a problem if I don't learn it. Terminals are very convenient. I can just press a few buttons on the terminal," Harvey, Jr. said with a pout.
Lu Wanqing couldn't help but pinch his little mouth. Did pouting actually help? Did she think he was some kind of pouty beast?
"Other things can be negotiated, but learning is absolutely not something to be careless about," Lu Wanqing said.
Harvey, Jr.: "..."
"Starting today, Mommy will supervise your studies seriously," Lu Wanqing said.
Harvey, Jr.'s brows furrowed into a straight line, and he couldn't help but say, "Mommy, we can learn about mechas!"
"No, you can't even learn simple two-digit addition and subtraction, how can you learn about mechas?" Lu Wanqing refused without hesitation.
"Mommy, I'm super good at piloting mechas!" Harvey, Jr. couldn't help but say.
"I'll show you!" As Harvey, Jr. said this, he jumped up, opened his spatial buckle, and took out the Qilin Mecha.
"Even if you can pilot a mecha well, you're still a little illiterate," Lu Wanqing insisted.
Harvey, Jr.: "..."
There's no way to communicate with her!
He felt like there was a generation gap between him and Mommy!
"I'm going to play with Daddy!" Harvey, Jr. suddenly said, then turned and ran off.
Lu Wanqing was helpless. After thinking for a moment, she lowered her head and opened her terminal to send a message to Xavier.
On the other side, Xavier received the message from Lu Wanqing, his eyelids twitched, and he was a little pleased.
Being brought here by Lu Wanqing had indeed brought him unexpected surprises. Keeping her for a year seemed very worthwhile!
"Daddy, Daddy!" Just as Xavier was thinking this, Harvey, Jr. ran in.
Xavier closed his terminal and looked at Harvey, Jr., "What's wrong?"
Harvey, Jr. suddenly froze. What's wrong? It seemed like nothing was wrong.
Harvey, Jr. instantly deflated like a frosted eggplant.
"Nothing," Harvey, Jr. said.
"Pfft." Xavier suddenly laughed.
Harvey, Jr. looked at his father, and after a moment, said, "Daddy, I want to go play in the star net pod."
"Does your mother know?" Xavier asked.
Harvey, Jr.: "..."
"Let's go, call your mother, we'll go play on the star net together," Xavier said with a smile.
Harvey, Jr.'s eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded happily, "Mhm!"
Harvey, Jr. quickly ran back to Lu Wanqing's side. He said happily, "Mommy, Mommy, let's go play on the star net together. Daddy agreed. He said we'll go play together."
Go on the star net?
Lu Wanqing was surprised, but also became interested. She nodded, "Okay."
Lu Wanqing followed Harvey, Jr. to the star net pod, where Xavier was already there.
Xavier took out a new black market terminal and handed it to Lu Wanqing, saying, "Use this one."
This terminal was something they had made themselves, so there was no need to worry about being detected by people from the Federation.
"Thank you," Lu Wanqing said gratefully.
Then the three of them logged into the star net together.
On the star net, Harvey, Jr. finally became happy again, like a bird out of its cage. He said excitedly, "Mommy and Daddy, let's go fishing together!"
Harvey, Jr. had wanted to do this for a long time. He didn't know Mommy's identity before, so it felt different. But a while ago, he heard Mommy mention it, and it turned out they had met here long ago. He really wanted to come online and go fishing with Mommy!
And Daddy too!
Daddy also loved fishing very much!
Harvey, Jr. thought that Daddy would definitely like watching Mommy fish too!
Lu Wanqing looked at Xavier.
Xavier nodded and said, "Let's go."
Stepping onto the desolate planet, Lu Wanqing felt a sense of trance. She seemed to have not been here for a long time.
Her steps subconsciously wanted to turn towards home. Over there was the small home she and Xiao Yi had built together. After so long, she wondered how that small home was doing. And Xiao Yi, would he be in the small home?
However, this thought only flickered through her mind for a moment. She quickly couldn't resist. She couldn't go.
She couldn't expose her identity.
Thinking this, Lu Wanqing pretended to be an ordinary netizen and followed Xavier and Harvey, Jr. to the riverbank.
"Mommy, I can also raid bird nests!" Harvey, Jr. grabbed Mommy's hand and excitedly said to Lu Wanqing.
Lu Wanqing looked down at Harvey, Jr. and nodded with a smile, "Mm."
"I can also shoot arrows, and I'm very accurate, better than woo woo..." Before Harvey, Jr. could finish his sentence, his father covered his mouth.
Harvey, Jr. widened his eyes and stared at his father.
Xavier also stared at Harvey, Jr.
Harvey, Jr. understood. He couldn't say it. Saying Zhong Li Yi's name would expose them.
"Hmph, if you don't say it, I won't!" Harvey, Jr. snorted.
Only then did Xavier release the little guy's mouth.
Lu Wanqing found it amusing. She reached out and affectionately rubbed the little guy's head.
They arrived at the riverbank together. Xavier bought virtual fishing rods and bait, and then skillfully found a spot to fish.
Lu Wanqing watched for a while, and it actually felt like Xavier was more proficient at this than she was?
Lu Wanqing just watched, and soon took her own fishing rod and bait to fish.
"Mommy, aren't you going to groundbait?" Harvey, Jr. quickly ran over and asked Lu Wanqing.
"No groundbait today," Lu Wanqing said.
"You won't catch any fish like that," Harvey, Jr. couldn't help but pout.
"Who says you can't catch fish without groundbait?" Lu Wanqing said helplessly.
"Daddy can't catch any."
"Even with groundbait, he can't catch any."
Harvey, Jr. couldn't help but expose his father.
This surprised Lu Wanqing. She turned to look at Xavier.
Xavier still had that air of a dignified boss, his expression calm and composed. Even though his own son had revealed his shortcomings, he didn't seem to care at all. He was... very composed.
Lu Wanqing found it funny, and then said, "Maybe he's just unlucky."
"Hmph, I don't believe it," Harvey, Jr. scoffed.
"Daddy just has no skills, he can't catch fish," Harvey, Jr. said contemptuously.
Xavier, who was not far away, finally turned his head and looked at Harvey, Jr.
Harvey, Jr. couldn't help but pinch his nose and make a funny face at his father, "Nyah nyah nyah, I'm not lying, I'm just telling the truth!"
Lu Wanqing really wanted to laugh. Harvey, Jr. was too lively.
"I caught one last time," Xavier suddenly said, his voice faint, as if to defend himself.
"Only one, and it was so small, it wasn't even enough to get stuck between my teeth!" Harvey, Jr. chattered on again, unable to stop.
