One day, they had a picnic in a boundless sea of flowers. Lu Wanqing didn't lift a finger the entire time; the cooking utensils, campfire, and ingredients were all prepared by the others.
Xavier caught fish from a nearby river, Lu Yang shot birds from trees, Ouyang Jian and Lin Sang cleaned the prey, and finally, Lu Yang skewered the fish and birds, sprinkled them with seasonings, and roasted them over the campfire.
Little Harvey had a lively personality and couldn't stay still the whole time. Fortunately, with the addition of his little sister Yaya, he had something to consider, preventing him from going wild without limits like before.
Today, Little Harvey was well-behaved, always taking Yaya to pick up twigs nearby. He would carry a large pile, while Yaya would hold just one or two small ones. The two children happily helped the adults.
Lu Wanqing wanted to help many times but was stopped by everyone. In the end, she could only follow Harvey and Yaya, occasionally helping them pick up firewood.
Yaya, having grown up in the forest, was familiar with it. Though small, her eyes were sharp, and she was always the first to spot dry branches.
When Yaya saw dry branches, she would happily turn back and call out to Harvey and Lu Wanqing, "Brother, Godmother, there's firewood here~"
Little Harvey would quickly run over and pick up the dry wood.
The fish were soon ready, as were the birds. The roasted meat smelled delicious, and Little Yaya, smelling it, couldn't help but stare, full of curiosity.
"Brother, what is this?" Little Yaya asked Harvey.
Harvey looked at the roasted meat on the rack, then at Little Yaya, and patiently explained, "This is roasted meat, it's very tasty."
As Little Harvey spoke, he carefully scooped a piece of steaming fish with a spoon and fed it to Yaya's mouth.
Little Yaya opened her mouth to eat, but Lu Wanqing's eyelids twitched, and she quickly reached out to stop her.
"Harvey, the fish is just out of the oven, it's very hot. Yaya will get burned," Lu Wanqing said.
"Hot?" Little Harvey was confused.
Lu Wanqing took the spoon, blew on it, and then fed it to Little Yaya.
Little Yaya, small as she was, ate the fish fed by her brother and godmother, her eyes instantly curving with happiness.
"Does it taste good?" Little Harvey looked at his sister, his eyes sparkling, and asked expectantly.
Little Yaya also looked at her brother, beaming with joy, "It's delicious!"
Little Harvey was instantly happy, extremely pleased. "Mommy's is even more delicious!" Today's wasn't made by Mommy.
Lu Yang, who had been working hard roasting for half the day: "???"
Lu Wanqing chuckled and quickly said, "Third Brother's is also very delicious."
Little Harvey was a sharp one and immediately understood that he hadn't phrased his words well. However, he turned his head, glanced at his little father, then at his mother, and felt... he hadn't said anything wrong.
"Mommy's is naturally more delicious!" Harvey said.
Lu Yang smiled and nodded in agreement, "Mm."
Ouyang Jian watched from the side, his gloating expression suddenly feeling a little stuck. Why were they suddenly showing off their affection?
But fortunately, he was no longer alone.
Ouyang Jian thought, and also took a fish from the campfire. He carefully picked out the fish meat, cooled it, and then fed it to Lin Sang's mouth.
Lin Sang's cheeks turned red, and she lowered her head to eat.
Lu Yang also took a fish, picked out the meat, and fed it to Lu Wanqing.
Suddenly, displays of affection were flying everywhere. Only Xavier sat alone, his mood complicated. He wished he hadn't come.
Xavier looked at his nose and then at his heart, seeing everyone eating fish. He also took a fish from the campfire and fed himself.
It wasn't that he didn't want to eat bird meat, but bird meat was harder to cook than fish, and it wasn't ready yet.
After everyone finished the fish, the bird meat was almost done, and they shared it together.
During this time, Xavier's optical communicator rang several times. He walked aside each time to quietly handle his affairs.
Lu Wanqing, however, kept an eye on Harvey. She noticed that after Yaya appeared, Harvey seemed to be turning into a sister-complex. He was truly too good to his sister!
But Yaya was so cute, she was willing to dote on her. So, Yaya became their group's darling, spoiled by her parents, her brother Harvey, and her godmother. Her godmother treated her well, and her godparent also treated her well. Everyone spoiled her like a little princess.
After playing for the whole day, as dusk approached, they all boarded the flying vehicle and headed home.
After the flying vehicle started, it wasn't long before night fell.
It was then that Lu Wanqing realized that the Empire was even more beautiful at night.
The flying vehicle passed over cities, and the beautiful night view of the imperial capital flew beneath them, truly stunning.
Lu Wanqing watched for a while, then couldn't resist opening her optical communicator and secretly taking several photos.
Lu Yang watched her dotingly. Only after she finished taking pictures and was about to put it away did Lu Yang suddenly reach out, take Lu Wanqing's hand, and say, "Let's take a photo together."
Lu Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled happily and nodded, "Mhmm."
Lu Wanqing quickly took out the memory sphere, adjusted it to photo mode, and then, holding her third brother's hand, they posed together on the flying vehicle and took many photos.
At first, it was just Lu Wanqing and Lu Yang taking pictures, but their little actions were quickly noticed by Harvey. After discovering this secret, Harvey immediately clamored to join in the photos.
So, Lu Wanqing and Lu Yang took pictures with little Harvey. Not only did they take their own, but little Harvey also insisted on taking pictures of Yaya. The situation then became increasingly uncontrollable, and in the end, everyone joined in, and they took many pictures together.
When they returned to the palace, the time was neither too early nor too late. However, after a day of activities, Lu Wanqing was truly exhausted.
After showering, she had to tell little Harvey bedtime stories. After finally completing the routine, she turned back to her room.
Upon entering the bedroom, Lu Wanqing discovered that her third brother was already waiting for her in her room. Her footsteps faltered, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
The intimacy here was a matter that could not be spoken of.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Harvey was in a good mood after listening to his mother's bedtime story. Thinking of his little sister Yaya, he secretly used his optical communicator to call Yaya.
When they left Tianxing, Uncle Ouyang had given him a Tianxing optical communicator, so Harvey now had a Tianxing optical communicator and could contact Ouyang and the others on the star network, as well as little Yaya...
Strictly speaking, what Harvey cared about most was little Yaya.
The greatest use of the Tianxing optical communicator for Harvey was probably contacting Yaya.
"Yaya," Little Harvey happily called out as soon as the communication connected.
"Harvey brother," On the other side, three-year-old Little Yaya also smiled happily upon seeing Harvey brother's projection. She reached out her little hand, wanting to hold Harvey brother's hand, but her little hand grasped empty air because Harvey wasn't in front of her; all that was in front of her was a communication projection.
"Yaya, it's getting late, it's time to sleep. I'll tell you a bedtime story," Little Harvey happily said to Yaya.
"Mhmm!" Little Yaya, small as she was, agreed with immense joy.
During this time, Harvey brother would call her every night before sleeping, just to tell her bedtime stories. Yaya loved Harvey brother's stories; they were very nice.
