Lu Wanqing lowered her eyes to look at Xiao Lanlan. She couldn't help but crouch down, give the little one a tight hug, and kiss his forehead.
"Let's take you back first," Mu Sijie said.
Lu Wanqing was taken aback, then nodded, "Okay."
They had a hovercar, which was indeed more convenient.
Little Mu Lan's eyes lit up; he could spend more time with Mommy.
Lu Wanqing got into the hovercar with them. Little Mu Lan kept holding Mommy's hand, unwilling to let go.
The hovercar was quite fast, and they soon arrived outside the military family residential area, stopping at the entrance.
"Mommy," Xiao Lanlan tugged at Mommy's hand reluctantly.
Lu Wanqing kissed her child again, smiling, "Lanlan, don't be afraid. We can still communicate tonight, and if you have free time on weekends, we can log into the StarNet together, and Mommy will take you to play on the StarNet."
"Really?" Little Mu Lan's eyes immediately lit up with excitement.
Lu Wanqing smiled and nodded, "Yes."
Little Mu Lan was completely happy. He hugged Mommy, voluntarily kissed her, and said excitedly, "Mommy is the best!"
Lu Wanqing smiled, rubbed the top of his head, and stood up.
Lu Wanqing turned to look at Mu Sijie, "I'll get off now."
"Okay," Mu Sijie agreed.
Lu Wanqing thought for a moment, looked back at Xiao Lanlan, and then turned to get out of the car.
"Mommy, you must take me to play on the StarNet this weekend~" Lanlan ran to the door and said to her nervously.
Lu Wanqing smiled and nodded, "Of course, what Mommy promises, Mommy will do!"
Little Mu Lan was happy, his eyes sparkling, overjoyed. "Yes, yes!"
The hovercar started again. Lu Wanqing watched them leave, then turned and walked towards the residential area.
Halfway there, Lu Wanqing suddenly remembered something. She raised her wrist and checked the time on her light-brain. At this hour... Xiao Yi should be in the training room, right?
Thinking this, Lu Wanqing turned directly towards the training room.
She entered the training hall and searched for a while. Sure enough, she found Zhongli Feiyu in front of a light screen.
Lu Wanqing smiled and walked towards Zhongli Feiyu.
Zhongli Feiyu was staring intently at the light screen, his brows tightly furrowed, as if worrying about something.
Lu Wanqing got closer and saw what was on the light screen. Little Yi was surrounded by a swarm of insectoids in the training room. The little guy was holding a weapon, nervously trying to fend off the surrounding insectoids. But the insectoids reacted too quickly. He was in danger of being bitten at any moment, his health bar was almost depleted.
Lu Wanqing watched intently. Suddenly, she saw an insectoid sneak attack the little guy from behind. She couldn't help but call out, "Be careful!"
Her shout startled Zhongli Feiyu beside her.
Zhongli Feiyu turned to look at her. Seeing it was her, he paused, then asked, "You're back?"
Lu Wanqing came back to her senses at his words. She turned her head to look at him and nodded, "Yes."
Lu Wanqing thought for a moment and explained, "Didn't I want to have a kitchen made earlier? I'm not very familiar with the appliances of this era. When I was at the Mu family's, they helped me set up a set of kitchen appliances from over three thousand years ago. They worked very well, so I asked him to make another set for me."
"He just came to deliver the appliances just now. These appliances should be installed tomorrow," Lu Wanqing said.
Zhongli Feiyu nodded, "Mm."
While they were talking, in the training room, Little Zhongli Yi's health bar also emptied, and his weapon turned into light spots and disappeared.
Lu Wanqing came back to her senses and quickly looked at the light screen.
Zhongli Feiyu also looked at the light screen. He saw the result and stopped the training from outside.
The next moment, the door of the training room opened.
Inside the training room, Little Zhongli Yi saw that the training mode had suddenly disappeared and the door of the training room opened. He turned his head and looked at the door outside blankly.
He had just entered the fifty-sixth level, so losing was normal. This had happened often before. But the training wouldn't stop immediately; he just needed to set it up at the control panel and start again. Why had the training mode stopped today?
As soon as the training room door opened, Lu Wanqing walked towards it. Seeing the little guy inside, she felt heartbroken. "Xiao Yi, how are you? Does it hurt?"
Just now, watching the little guy being attacked, bitten, and ambushed by insectoids in the training room on the light screen had made her heart ache.
Little Zhongli Yi looked at Mommy, who was right in front of him, and was a little dazed. Mommy?
Little Zhongli Yi reacted. An uncontrollable smile spread across his eyes and lips. He carefully reached out his hand and held Mommy's hand, "Mommy~"
"Yes, yes," Lu Wanqing quickly responded.
"Did it hurt just now?"
"Are you injured anywhere?"
Lu Wanqing hugged the little guy and asked with concern.
The insectoids in the training room were fake, but the little guy running and jumping, being attacked by insectoids, and accidentally falling were all real. The child was so young.
Lu Wanqing carefully lifted the little guy's knee and indeed saw a red and swollen area.
"Does it hurt?" Lu Wanqing asked.
"It's okay, a short time in the medical pod will fix it quickly," Little Zhongli Yi answered earnestly.
But even as he said this, the little guy's heart felt very sweet. Was Mommy concerned about him?
Looking at Mommy frowning and worrying as she stared at the small red mark on his knee, the little heart in Little Zhongli Yi's chest beat faster. An emotion he had never felt before surged within his chest, making him feel full and buoyant.
Zhongli Feiyu also walked over. He glanced at Lu Wanqing's worried expression, then at the small red mark on Little Zhongli Yi's knee. He frowned slightly, not quite understanding.
It's just a small red mark, isn't it?
A short time in the medical pod, just a few seconds, and it would be gone. Why was she so worried?
Lu Wanqing's feelings were naturally different from those of the interstellar people. In the distant past, over three thousand years ago, such a red mark on the knee might have hurt for many days before disappearing. Seeing her child injured, she naturally felt heartache.
But in the interstellar era, medical technology was highly advanced. For such minor red marks, they only needed to lie in a medical pod for a few seconds after leaving the training room, and not only would the redness and swelling disappear, but the pain would also vanish. Therefore, people usually didn't pay much attention to such minor injuries, let alone feel heartache.
"This little injury is nothing," Zhongli Feiyu couldn't help but remind her.
Lu Wanqing was also stunned for a moment, then she remembered. Right, the medical technology in the interstellar era was very advanced. Such a minor injury should be easily healed.
Zhongli Feiyu looked at Little Zhongli Yi and commanded, "That's enough training for today. Go to the medical pod for treatment, and we'll go home later."
Little Zhongli Yi looked up at Zhongli Feiyu in surprise, "We're going back now? No more training?"
Zhongli Feiyu paused for a second, then said, "We'll rest today."
Little Zhongli Yi's eyes lit up. He was overjoyed. "Okay!"
"Thank you, Dad!" Little Zhongli Yi blurted out involuntarily, very happy.
Zhongli Feiyu froze slightly. Little Zhongli Yi had just called him... Dad?
