Little Yi was raised by him bit by bit, but in all these years, this was the first time he had heard the child say this to him, and when Little Yi said it, his eyes were so bright and his voice so happy.
So, making a child happy was actually this simple?
Zhong Li Feiyu mused, and couldn't help but recall how Lu Wanqing usually treated the little fellow. He reached out and awkwardly ruffled the child's hair, saying, "You're welcome."
Lu Wanqing: "..."
The interaction between this father and son seemed a little off, yet also perfectly fine?
Little Zhong Li Yi quickly went to the medical bay. It turned out that the medical standards of the interstellar era were truly excellent. The little fellow lay down for a few seconds, and the swelling disappeared when he came out. Lu Wanqing asked him if it hurt, and he shook his head, saying it didn't hurt at all.
Lu Wanqing could only marvel at how advanced and truly remarkable the medical technology of the interstellar era was.
"Let's go home first," Zhong Li Feiyu said with a smile.
Lu Wanqing nodded, "Okay."
Back home, seeing that there was still some time, Lu Wanqing went to the kitchen and took out the space button that Mu Sijie had given her, unpacking all the appliances one by one.
While Lu Wanqing was doing these things, Little Zhong Li Yi and Zhong Li Feiyu never left her side. The father and son followed her like little tails, watching these items with great curiosity.
Not only them, but even Butler Xiao came over. Looking at these brand-new, three-thousand-year-old, old-fashioned appliances, his eyes were filled with curiosity.
"Mommy, what is this?" Little Zhong Li Yi finally couldn't contain his curiosity, pointing at a round appliance, and asked Lu Wanqing.
Lu Wanqing looked at the appliance the child was pointing at, smiled, and said, "This is a rice cooker, used for cooking rice. It can make very delicious white rice."
Little Zhong Li Yi's eyes widened, and he looked at the rice cooker with curiosity.
Zhong Li Feiyu and Butler Xiao also looked at the rice cooker, their eyes full of curiosity.
After the rice cooker came other tools: an electronic stove, a microwave oven, an oven, a crepe maker, a constant temperature fermenter, and so on. All sorts of appliances, varied and with dazzling functions.
"Can these things... actually be used?" Seeing Lu Wanqing place these appliances one by one onto the stove, Butler Xiao finally couldn't contain his curiosity and asked.
"Of course," Lu Wanqing replied with a smile.
She remembered what Butler Xiao had said earlier about those antique items, and found it amusing. She couldn't help but ask, "Is everyone hungry tonight? How about I make some late-night snacks for everyone today, and we can try out these appliances?"
"Mhm mhm!" Before Butler Xiao could even nod, Little Zhong Li Yi's excited voice came immediately.
Zhong Li Feiyu also agreed, "Sure."
Lu Wanqing smiled and said, "Alright, I'll install the appliances first, and then I'll order some ingredients from the Star Net."
Butler Xiao quickly said, "I can order the ingredients. They'll be delivered very quickly."
Lu Wanqing looked at Butler Xiao, thought for a moment, then looked at Little Yi, and finally couldn't help but turn to Zhong Li Feiyu and say, "Admiral Feiyu, since Little Yi isn't training today, can I take him to play on the Star Net? And buy some ingredients along the way."
Buying ingredients online in the interstellar era was quite good. That kind of full-sensory simulation experience would be more like a parent-child trip for a child, right?
"If Admiral Feiyu has time, you could also come along and see. You probably haven't taken Little Yi grocery shopping before, have you?" As she said this, Lu Wanqing couldn't help but guess.
Lu Wanqing was right. Zhong Li Feiyu had never taken his child grocery shopping before. To be precise, he himself had never bought groceries on the Star Net in his entire life. Kitchen matters were usually handled by others, so he didn't have to worry about them.
Butler Xiao looked at them and suddenly thought of something. He quickly said, "Yes, yes, Admiral, why don't you go with them too? It'd be good for you to see more and experience life."
Zhong Li Feiyu: "????"
"Okay." After hesitating for a moment, Zhong Li Feiyu nodded in agreement.
Lu Wanqing also smiled. She nodded, "Alright, shall we go to the Star Net now?"
With everything settled, they all went upstairs together.
Lu Wanqing watched Little Yi open the Star Net pod and lie down. She returned to her own room, opened her own Star Net pod, and lay down.
The moment she appeared on the Star Net, Lu Wanqing was in a very good mood. This was the first time she had taken Little Yi out to play, wasn't it?
However, Lu Wanqing suddenly remembered that she had bought a lot of clothes on the Star Net before, so why hadn't they arrived yet?
She couldn't help but open her online shopping records to check. The sellers all showed "shipped," but the logistics were having problems. The remarks explained that due to weather conditions, the spaceship could not traverse wormholes, and the delivery would be delayed. They apologized profusely and hoped buyers would be understanding.
So, there were such issues in the interstellar era too, Lu Wanqing realized with a sigh. But soon she relaxed. After all, they were humans, not gods. It was quite normal to encounter a few unexpected events and be slightly delayed.
She put aside the logistics information and then, through the parent-child friend connection, directly teleported herself to Little Yi's initial space.
As soon as Lu Wanqing appeared, she saw that Zhong Li Feiyu was also there.
"Mommy!" Little Yi quickly ran over and took her hand.
Lu Wanqing looked at them and asked with a smile, "Do you want to change skins?"
Zhong Li Feiyu looked at Lu Wanqing, his eyes full of confusion.
Lu Wanqing explained, "Our identities are a bit special. If we go out like this without changing skins, and people recognize us, there might be a lot of onlookers."
Zhong Li Feiyu quickly understood and immediately agreed, "Okay."
Zhong Li Feiyu quickly opened his settings panel. With just a few simple buttons, he changed his skin.
Lu Wanqing looked at Little Zhong Li Yi. The little fellow didn't quite understand yet, but Lu Wanqing had already taught him once last time. This time, with a little guidance, the child knew how to operate it and quickly changed his skin.
All three of them had changed their skins. Zhong Li Feiyu and Little Zhong Li Yi both looked at Lu Wanqing.
Lu Wanqing quickly said, "Alright, then we're ready to teleport!"
Lu Wanqing chose a few familiar locations that she had visited with Mu Sijie and Little Lan Lan before. Those sellers had good quality, and were better for bringing children to buy vegetables, catch fish, and buy meat, providing a better experience.
Zhong Li Feiyu and Little Zhong Li Yi were both visiting such a place for the first time. To be precise, Zhong Li Feiyu had seen images of farmland and vegetable patches on the Star Net before, but he had never personally been there. This was his first time. Although it was a virtual vegetable patch on the Star Net, stepping on the moist soil and looking at the surrounding vegetables gave him a novel feeling.
Little Zhong Li Yi was even more excited than Zhong Li Feiyu. As soon as he appeared, the little fellow immediately looked around with curiosity, marveling at the lush green vegetables on the ground. He was extremely curious!
