Knowing that Xavier had already arranged everything, Lu Wanqing didn't have much to worry about. After leaving Xavier, she returned to her room, closed her eyes, and slept.
Lu Wanqing slept soundly. The next morning, she was woken up by Little Harvey knocking on her door.
“Mommy, Mommy, are you awake? We’ve arrived at Twilight Star, hurry up and wake up, we need to get off!” Little Harvey yelled at the door of her room.
Lu Wanqing hadn’t been awake, but she was jolted awake by the child’s shouting. As her consciousness cleared, her eyelids twitched at the kid’s loud voice. The spaceship wasn't small, but space was still limited. With such a loud voice, she was afraid many people had heard him.
She quickly got up, dressed, and then walked to the door, opening it.
Little Harvey looked at her, his eyes sparkling, “Mommy, we’ve arrived at Twilight Star!”
Lu Wanqing nodded, “Mmm.”
“Let’s go down!” Little Harvey said.
“We’re going down the spaceship now?” Lu Wanqing realized, surprised.
Little Harvey nodded, “Mmm mmm!”
Lu Wanqing quickly said, “I’ll pack my things.”
Her belongings were still in the room, not packed. If they were leaving the spaceship, she naturally had to pack them.
Little Harvey followed her into the room and watched her pack. Mommy had so many space buttons. So many things could be stored in them.
Little Harvey was envious. As he watched, his eyes became wistful.
With so many space buttons, he wanted some too. He could store so many things. This way, no matter where they went in the future, he could bring out anything, just like Mommy, which would be very convenient.
After Lu Wanqing finished packing, she turned around and met a pair of wistful eyes.
Lu Wanqing: “Harvey?”
Little Harvey gave a dry laugh and couldn’t help but say, “Mommy, you have so many space buttons. You’re so rich!”
Lu Wanqing’s lips twitched slightly, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you suddenly saying this?”
Little Harvey, unable to hold back, immediately chattered on, “Mommy has so many space buttons, it’s so convenient to carry things. When you went to many places before, you could always bring out so many things, tents to live in, food, clothes, things to use, everything. Mommy is super amazing!!!”
Lu Wanqing suddenly remembered that compared to other children, Little Harvey had been drifting around on spaceships all the time. He seemed to need a few space buttons?
“When Mommy returns to the Imperial Capital Star, how about I get some space buttons for Harvey then?” Lu Wanqing thought, and then said it.
Space buttons weren’t easy to buy. Firstly, there was the issue of money, and secondly, the sale of space buttons was also strictly controlled. People usually had to book in advance to buy one, and all their information would be thoroughly investigated.
She could buy so many mechs without any effort because of her special relationship with the Mu family and her status as an Ultra S-class mech master. For anyone else, even if they had money, they probably wouldn’t be able to buy so many space buttons.
Little Harvey’s eyes immediately lit up, and he was super happy, “Really? Mommy is going to give me so many space buttons?”
“Not so many, but… a few more. Like Mommy, enough to store daily necessities, and that would be fine,” Lu Wanqing said.
Little Harvey nodded quickly, “Mmm mmm mmm!”
Mommy said not so many, but like Mommy, enough to store everything, that was already a lot, super a lot!
“Also, you’re not allowed to tell anyone about this!” Lu Wanqing reminded him again.
“If you can’t do that, Mommy won’t give you the space buttons anymore,” Lu Wanqing added.
Space buttons were too convenient and were things that even wealthy people found hard to obtain. In the interstellar era, they were considered treasures. Little Harvey was different from her. She lived in the Imperial Capital all year round and was safe. Little Harvey wandered in space every day, dealing with a group of space pirates. He could easily be targeted in the future. Even if they just robbed his space buttons, if he lost his life over a few space buttons, she would regret it to death.
Little Harvey’s pupils dilated, and he looked at his mother in shock, “Why?”
Lu Wanqing: “…”
Harvey was really troublesome. And his brain was like a straight pipe; didn’t he think things through?
As expected, he needed to study hard and read more books to become smarter, like Shushu.
Lu Wanqing thought about it and suddenly had an idea. She said, “How about this, when we get to Twilight Star, Harvey will study hard. If Harvey studies well, Mommy will reward him with space buttons. If he doesn’t study well, then forget it.”
If he could study hard and become smarter, he could protect the space buttons given to him. Otherwise, it would be like carrying a treasure and inviting disaster. Carrying too many space buttons would eventually bring him trouble.
“Why, why, Mommy, why can’t others know?!” Little Harvey pestered, pulling on his mother’s hand, urging her on.
Lu Wanqing glanced outside, then crouched down and said softly, “Harvey, space buttons are very convenient and very important. Many people want them, right?”
Harvey nodded quickly, “Mmm, space buttons are super useful, everyone wants them!”
“So, things that people want so badly, if Harvey wants them, others will want them too, right?” Lu Wanqing asked.
Harvey nodded, “Mmm.”
“If everyone knows that Harvey has a lot of space buttons, and they also want space buttons, what do you think others will do?” Lu Wanqing asked.
“They’ll try to rob me!” Little Harvey said without thinking.
Lu Wanqing nodded and added, “Not just robbing, but also stealing, and tricking. Even the people around Harvey might scheme against you.”
Little Harvey nodded seriously, “Mmm.”
“So Harvey must not tell anyone that he has many space buttons,” Lu Wanqing said.
Little Harvey understood. He nodded, “Mmm.”
“Also, Harvey needs to study hard,” Lu Wanqing said again.
Harvey frowned, “Why?”
Lu Wanqing pinched his face and couldn’t help but say, “Because the more you read, the smarter your brain will become. Look just now, if Mommy hadn’t reminded Harvey, wouldn’t Harvey have thought of hiding the fact that he has many space buttons?”
Little Harvey nodded, “Mmm.”
Lu Wanqing said, “Harvey, you are still young now, and your father protects you, so no one dares to bully you. But when you grow up, if one day you and your father are separated, you will have to learn to protect yourself.”
“If you don’t study well and aren’t smart enough, you’ll be bullied and schemed against by others in the future. At that time, Little Harvey might even die, losing his life.”
Little Harvey pouted, “But what’s the use of studying, those things…”
“Studying doesn’t make you smarter?”
“I don’t feel it,” the little one said.
