Harvey told stories with great seriousness.
Little Ya Ya listened just as attentively, and she loved it.
When a story was finished, Harvey said gently, "Alright, the story is over. Goodnight, Ya Ya."
"Goodnight, Brother Harvey~" Little Ya Ya said crisply.
After ending the communication, Harvey closed his eyes, ready to sleep.
The next day, Lu Wan Qing woke up early. When she opened her eyes, she found herself in a warm embrace.
She looked at her third brother's arm around her and couldn't help but reach out her finger to gently touch it.
Her third brother's hand was very warm, just like… a real person.
He could even do such things.
She was a little curious about how such a bionic body was made, and wondered if they could have children?
However, Lu Wan Qing only thought about this idea and didn't say it out loud. She didn't want to ask, in case…
She didn't want her third brother to be sad.
"What are you thinking about?" A voice suddenly came from above her.
Lu Wan Qing jumped in surprise. She looked up and saw that her third brother was awake. Her face flushed, and she quickly scrambled up.
"N-nothing." She quickly explained.
Lu Yang pulled her back into his arms, lowered his head, and kissed her. "Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
Lu Wan Qing couldn't help but snuggle into her third brother's embrace. She didn't know what to say, nor did she want to say anything. For that moment, she felt that just being quiet was perfect.
After lying down for a while, Lu Wan Qing still got up. The time she could spend with Harvey was actually not long, only this year. And because Harvey's personality was different from other children, their way of interacting was also a bit different. Lu Wan Qing could give him much less emotional care. In this case, three meals a day became very important.
Lu Wan Qing went to the kitchen to make breakfast for the little fellow.
Lu Yang also got up, but he had to attend the Empire's morning meeting, so he couldn't help Lu Wan Qing make breakfast. The unlucky one was only Harvey, because his uncle, oh no, his little dad, always dragged him along to listen to the morning meetings and then lectured him afterward. It gave him a terrible headache.
After the morning meeting, father and son returned, just as Lu Wan Qing's breakfast was ready.
After little Harvey finished breakfast, Lu Wan Qing took him to school.
The only thing worth being happy about was that on the way to school, his mother, at his strong insistence, also went to pick up little Ya Ya. They first dropped Ya Ya off at the Imperial Kindergarten, and then turned to take him to the Imperial Elementary School.
Lu Wan Qing didn't know what was going on with Harvey, why he was so concerned about Ya Ya. However, having a little sister was just right to curb Harvey's heaven-defying mischievous nature, at least to instill a little more responsibility in him.
Days passed like this, and life was beautiful. But after living like this for a long time, Lu Wan Qing felt a little bored.
However, Lu Wan Qing didn't expect that someone would come and break her boredom.
This person was none other than Ouyang Jian's sister, Ouyang Yun Duo.
Ouyang Yun Duo was tall and beautiful. As soon as she arrived at the Empire, she looked Lu Wan Qing up and down. Fortunately, this scrutiny didn't last long, and Ouyang Yun Duo was quickly pulled away by Ouyang Jian.
Half a day later, Lu Wan Qing learned from Ouyang Jian that Ouyang Yun Duo had liked her third brother for many, many years, but her third brother had never paid attention to her.
When they went to Tian Xing last time, Ouyang Yun Duo happened to be traveling on another planet. Later, she saw the live broadcast and realized that Lu Yang had returned to Tian Xing, and not alone. Lu Yang had found the person he had been looking for; he had someone he loved.
Ouyang Yun Duo rushed back as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, the planet she was on at the time was too remote, and there were some delays in between. After much going back and forth, she finally arrived at the Empire these past few days.
"Wan Qing, don't worry, I've already had the spaceship throw that girl out of the Empire. I guarantee she won't come to bother you. Please don't take it to heart." After explaining the whole story, Ouyang Jian said cautiously.
Lu Wan Qing couldn't help but laugh and cry. "You just pulled her away and threw her out of the Empire?"
Ouyang Jian quickly nodded, "Yes, yes."
"So, be magnanimous and don't argue with her," Ouyang Jian urged.
Lu Wan Qing didn't say anything. It wasn't that she didn't want to argue, but after living in space for several years, hearing about women like this made her scalp tingle. It felt… very ominous.
"You'd better not let her come to trouble me, or I won't be polite," Lu Wan Qing said.
She was not a saint.
It was one thing if the other person had liked her third brother before. Now that she was with her third brother, if Ouyang Yun Duo still tried to hit on him or cause trouble for her, she would definitely not be polite, even if she was Ouyang Jian's sister.
Ouyang Jian forced a smile. "Okay, I'll do my best to stop her."
Lu Wan Qing understood from his tone that Ouyang Jian might not be able to stop her.
This conversation was deliberately held by Ouyang Jian away from Lu Yang. Lu Wan Qing didn't realize it at first, but after walking a few steps, she understood.
Ouyang Jian was probably afraid that her third brother would find out and be unhappy, right?
Thinking this, Lu Wan Qing's mood improved.
Lu Wan Qing returned to the palace and suddenly remembered that she hadn't prepared anything for her third brother.
Since reuniting with her third brother, he had always protected her. He had even helped her resolve the identity issues of Xavier and Harvey. He had done so much, yet he had never sought any credit.
Some things were best left unthought. The more she thought about it, the sweeter it felt.
When it came to mechas, Lu Wan Qing admitted she was helpless. Her third brother's skill level was clearly higher than hers. But she could still cook delicious food.
Lu Wan Qing decided to act as soon as she thought of it.
"Bang!" Her head suddenly bumped into someone.
Lu Wan Qing looked up and saw her third brother.
Lu Yang also looked down at her. Seeing that her forehead was bumped, he smiled, raised his hand, and rubbed her forehead. "Does it hurt?"
Lu Wan Qing just rubbed her forehead a few times, then took her third brother's hand and said, "Third Brother, does our Empire's star network sell vegetables?"
"Like in the Federation, where we can order online, and then someone quickly delivers fresh ingredients," Lu Wan Qing asked.
"There probably are?" Lu Yang said uncertainly.
"I'll ask," Lu Yang said.
As he spoke, Lu Yang opened his communicator and sent a message to an imperial minister.
The imperial minister was suddenly startled by a message from His Majesty the Emperor. When he saw the content, he was bewildered. When had His Majesty ever cared about such trivial matters?
However, despite their doubts, they quickly replied and forwarded the links to several good ingredient shops on the Imperial Star Network to His Majesty.
