"Shushu, would you be willing to share some of your photos with everyone?" Lu Wanqing asked, looking down at Xiao Yu Shu.
Xiao Yu Shu's eyes sparkled, and she nodded happily, "Mm!"
"But they have to be pretty ones!" Xiao Yu Shu added.
The fans nearby couldn't contain themselves. They turned away, stifling screams.
"Ahhh, she's so cute, Shushu is too cute!"
Lu Wanqing didn't want to dwell on the fans' reactions for now. She knew Shu Shu well enough to speak these words in front of everyone.
During their time together, she could feel that Shu Shu really liked these fans, and these fans genuinely adored Shu Shu. For a girl, sharing her beautiful photos with those who truly liked her was a joyful thing, even if Shu Shu was only six, or rather, seven years old this year.
Who didn't like to have their pretty photos praised?
After agreeing to the photo session, Lu Wanqing took Xiao Shu Shu and over a thousand fans, and they stood together, forming large circles, or heading to the riverbank to fish with rods. They took many photos in various poses, capturing the style of ancient Earth.
Once the photos were taken, Lu Wanqing uploaded the files to the fan group chat of over a thousand lucky viewers. Anyone who liked the photos could download them from the group files.
The souvenirs were all taken care of; now it was time to focus on the houses.
Under everyone's gaze and the live camera's recording, Lu Wanqing went to each house. She used the photo-taking function of the recording ball to capture images of these houses and then displayed them in the live broadcast's voting area, officially initiating the vote!
Three days later, the top one hundred in the vote would receive a piece of land, as per the previous rules!
The voting began, and fans both inside and outside the live stream were excited. After waiting for so long, this moment had finally arrived!
Many fans couldn't control themselves the moment voting started and immediately cast their votes for their favorite houses!
The voting interface also displayed real-time voting records for all houses.
Within minutes, some beautiful houses began to stand out. Lu Wanqing took a look and agreed. These houses were indeed beautiful. Most importantly, the houses with high vote counts weren't exclusively those built with money. Several were small courtyards that people had built with their own hands.
Small wooden houses, small bamboo houses, and even adobe houses – houses with distinct styles and a clear connection to the ancient Earth era were beloved by everyone.
The sky gradually darkened. Lu Wanqing told everyone to go home and rest early, reminding them to be safe. She then took Xiao Yu Shu back to their own house.
Xiao Yu Shu knew her mommy would be leaving soon and became increasingly reluctant to part. She couldn't sleep that night, turning her head and keeping her eyes open, unwilling to sleep. She wanted to spend more time looking at her mommy.
Lu Wanqing leaned down and kissed her daughter, her voice gentle, "Goodnight, Shu Shu."
Xiao Yu Shu hesitated for a long time before finally whispering, "Mommy, I love you."
Lu Wanqing froze for a moment, then felt a warmth spread through her heart. She leaned down and touched foreheads with her daughter, smiling, "Mm-hmm, Mommy loves Shu Shu super much too."
A smile reappeared on Xiao Yu Shu's face. She was happy; Mommy said she loved her.
"Mommy, will you come back after you leave?" Xiao Yu Shu asked again after a while, clearly feeling uneasy.
Lu Wanqing smiled and nodded, "Of course. Mommy will come to see you all from time to time. And Shu Shu's clothes, and Shu Shu's school progress, Mommy will always care about them. You are Mommy's treasure, and Mommy will watch over you until you grow up."
"Mm!" Xiao Yu Shu was incredibly happy.
Lu Wanqing thought for a moment and suddenly recalled the past year Shu Shu had spent with her, the many changes that had occurred...
Lu Wanqing fell into silence for a long time. She couldn't help but gently stroke Xiao Yu Shu's head and say in a soft voice, "Shu Shu, do you like making money?"
Xiao Yu Shu, who was almost asleep, asked drowsily, "Huh?"
But Xiao Yu Shu quickly reacted and replied, "Yes!"
"Mm," Lu Wanqing nodded.
Looking at her child, Lu Wanqing couldn't help but say, "Shu Shu, it's okay to like making money, but Mommy hopes you remember not to make money just for the sake of making money. Each of our lives is unique, and our entire life is very short. In this short life, money is just a material aspect of our existence."
"But without money, many things can't be done," Xiao Yu Shu said worriedly.
Lu Wanqing nodded. "Yes, money is important, and you should never be without it. But didn't Mommy give you dividends from the little fox mech? Under normal circumstances, the dividends from that mech should provide you with enough money to sustain yourself, and it should be fine."
Xiao Yu Shu blinked, then her eyes brightened. She nodded happily, "Mm!"
Lu Wanqing smiled. She leaned down and kissed her child, saying earnestly, "Shu Shu, Mommy hopes you will never forget what you truly love. In this life, unless it's absolutely unavoidable, try your best to follow your heart, do what you love, do what you want to do, and live the life you truly desire. A life like that is truly worthwhile."
Xiao Yu Shu looked at her mother, a little confused. She thought hard for a long time and finally nodded vigorously, "Mm, Mommy, I understand."
"Mm," Lu Wanqing smiled and nodded.
After speaking, Lu Wanqing fell silent. She suddenly thought of the Yu family's situation. Yu Nong and Madam Yu were so simple; what if something happened to their lives after she left?
Lu Wanqing thought about this and couldn't help but look at the cub in her arms with concern, whispering, "Shu Shu, if you encounter difficulties in the future, you can come to Mommy. Whether it's a communication call, leaving a message, or any other way, always remember that Mommy will always be Shu Shu's mommy. No matter where Mommy is, Mommy will always love Shu Shu. If Shu Shu is in trouble, Mommy will definitely come back and help Shu Shu overcome the challenges."
Xiao Yu Shu's eyes immediately lit up. She nodded, "Mm-hmm, thank you, Mommy!"
Lu Wanqing leaned down and kissed her child.
"Alright, it's very late. Go to sleep early," Lu Wanqing said.
Xiao Yu Shu agreed, "Mm."
It was indeed very late. At this hour, Xiao Yu Shu would have been asleep long ago. In fact, she had been very sleepy just now, but now, she didn't feel as sleepy. She felt her mommy was so wonderful; Mommy had said so many things to her. She loved her mommy!
Xiao Yu Shu couldn't help but move gently, carefully leaning into her mommy's embrace.
It was okay even if Mommy left; Mommy wouldn't forget her. Mommy said she would always love her!
The more Xiao Yu Shu thought about it, the happier she became. By the time she fell asleep, her eyes were curved, and her lips were slightly upturned, looking sweet.
