"That's impossible?" Lu Yuanyuan didn't believe it.
Lu Yuanyuan knitted her brows and said suspiciously, "If they knew Lu Wanqing was a zombie, how could they still be so friendly with her?"
Mu Si Rui also found it strange when she thought about it. She frowned, unable to figure it out.
After thinking about it, Lu Yuanyuan finally looked at Mu Si Rui. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Ruǐruǐ, can I stay over tonight? I want to stay at your place and sleep with you for one night."
"Huh?" Mu Si Rui was stunned again, looking at Lu Yuanyuan blankly.
Lu Yuanyuan shook Mu Si Rui's arm and quickly said, "Ruǐruǐ, please do me a favor and let me stay. You know I like your brother. I want to stay and observe. I really want to see what that Lu Wanqing is capable of! I absolutely cannot let her snatch Brother Si Jie away!"
Mu Si Rui thought about it and agreed. Compared to Lu Wanqing, she preferred Yuanyuan to be her sister-in-law. After all, she and Yuanyuan had a good relationship for so many years, and Yuanyuan's family background was also good. If Yuanyuan were to be with her elder brother, it would be a match made in heaven and could help her brother a lot.
"Okay," Mu Si Rui thought, and agreed.
Lu Yuanyuan was immediately happy and gave Mu Si Rui a wet kiss on her cheek.
Mu Si Rui smiled back immediately. She took Lu Yuanyuan's hand and said, "Yuanyuan, then you must work hard and chase my brother. You can't let that Lu Wanqing be with my brother. I still hope you'll be my sister-in-law!"
"Of course!" Lu Yuanyuan said happily. For four years, ever since she entered university, she had tried every means to get close to Mu Si Rui. During her four years of university, she had racked her brains to please Mu Si Rui, all for the sake of being able to get close to Brother Si Jie through Mu Si Rui one day.
Brother Si Jie had been her male idol and dream lover for a long time. She dreamed of marrying Brother Si Jie and was determined to marry him. No one could snatch him away from her!
"Ruǐruǐ, you must help me. I really like Brother Si Jie so much. I absolutely cannot let that Lu Wanqing take him away!" Lu Yuanyuan said.
Mu Si Rui immediately nodded upon hearing this, "Of course!"
The two best friends suddenly burst into laughter as they chatted. They held hands, looked at each other, and were both very happy.

Downstairs, Lu Wanqing and Mu Si Jie chatted for a while and quickly reached an agreement: they needed to formulate a more specific plan for the child's care.
However, since many things couldn't be explained in a few words, Mu Si Jie promised to prepare a detailed list in a couple of days, outlining Xiao Mu Lan's daily schedule. After Lu Wanqing reviewed it, they would reallocate their time and take turns caring for the child.
Xiao Mu Lan quickly returned after putting his schoolbag upstairs. He cherished his time with his mother and didn't want to miss a single moment. After putting his schoolbag away, he immediately ran downstairs.
Although the little guy liked it in his heart, when he actually reached the first floor and stood before Lu Wanqing and Mu Si Jie, he became shy again, too embarrassed to express his feelings.
Lu Wanqing, however, saw the little guy come down and immediately beckoned to him with a smile: "Come here~"
Xiao Mu Lan saw his mother calling him and quickly went over.
"Do you have television in your interstellar era?" Sitting together on the sofa, Lu Wanqing couldn't help but ask.
"Television?" Mu Si Jie was stunned again at the question, but he quickly recovered and said, "There's no television in the interstellar era anymore, but we can watch holographic projections."
"Do you want to watch television?" Mu Si Jie asked Lu Wanqing.
Lu Wanqing was momentarily bewildered, but after a while, she came to her senses. Still holding the child, her eyes sparkled with excitement, "You said holographic projections?"
Mu Si Jie looked at her sparkling eyes and knew she must have never seen them before, so she was very curious. He couldn't help but chuckle.
"Yes, there's a dedicated holographic room on the fourth floor. Let's go and take a look," Mu Si Jie said, standing up.
Lu Wanqing was truly excited. Holding Xiao Mu Lan, she tried her best to suppress her excitement, then quickly picked up Xiao Mu Lan and eagerly followed Mu Si Jie.
Xiao Mu Lan was being held by his mother, which he was used to. The moment his mother stood up, he immediately reached out his hands and hugged his mother's neck tightly to prevent himself from falling.
"Mommy, do you really like holographic projections?" Xiao Mu Lan asked in a clear voice while being held in his mother's arms as they went upstairs.
Lu Wanqing looked down at the little guy, the smile on her lips almost uncontrollable. Her eyes twinkled brightly, full of light. "Of course! Mommy hasn't seen it yet. Are holographic projections amazing?"
Xiao Mu Lan also couldn't help but feel happy. He hugged his mommy's neck with his short little hands, his dark and bright eyes looking into his mother's eyes. The corners of his mouth also curved into the same arc as Lu Wanqing's, "Yes, they are very good to watch!"
"My favorite is 'Little Tadpoles Look for Their Mother'!" Xiao Mu Lan said.
Mu Si Jie, walking ahead, turned back and explained, " 'Little Tadpoles Look for Their Mother' is a movie that Wei Xingzhou invested in and had produced."
"Wei Xingzhou?" Lu Wanqing was surprised. Was this Wei Xingzhou the person she was thinking of? She remembered that among her five children's fathers, one was named Wei Xingzhou, and he was an actor.
"Yes," Mu Si Jie nodded, confirming Lu Wanqing's guess.
Mu Si Jie walked onto the platform. After Lu Wanqing, holding Xiao Mu Lan, also walked up, he said, "I heard 'Little Tadpoles Look for Their Mother' is a children's story from the ancient Earth era?"
"Wei Xingzhou's daughter always wanted to find her mother. I heard that child was the most prone to crying among the children when she was young. Wei Xingzhou also doted on his child, so he put a lot of effort into having people find this story from ancient Earth and specifically had it adapted into a movie."
Who would have thought back then that Lu Wanqing would wake up one day, become a living person, a legal citizen of the interstellar era, and appear in their world and the children's world.
Lu Wanqing was shocked. She took two seconds to react and quickly remembered. Wasn't Wei Xingzhou the lively and talkative man she met for the first time?
To be precise, Wei Xingzhou's appearance gave her the impression of a very lively young man, full of energy!
She never expected that such a man would be so dedicated when caring for his child, even going so far as to find a children's story from over three thousand years ago and have a movie made for his child just to appease her?
"Do you want to watch 'Little Tadpoles Look for Their Mother' later?" Mu Si Jie asked.
Lu Wanqing quickly nodded, "Yes."
Of course, she wanted to watch it. She absolutely had to watch it. It was a movie that her child's other father had painstakingly made for his beloved daughter, so she had to see it!
Besides, Xiao Mu Lan also loved this movie!
