"..." Lu Wanqing.
"..." Mu Lan.
Not just Lu Wanqing and Mu Lan, even Mu Sijie was stunned. Looking at the suddenly excited young man, their minds went blank.
However, the youth was very excited. He circled Lu Wanqing and Mu Lan, his eyes shining.
"Ah, they're alive, I've seen live people!"
"I saw live Lu Wanqing and Lanlan on the StarNet!"
The youth muttered excitedly, and then the next moment, he raised his wrist, excitedly pulled out a light screen, and quickly sent messages to his friends.
"Ahhhhh, family, hurry to the StarNet, I saw Lu Wanqing and Lanlan on the barren planet, live Lu Wanqing and Lanlan!!!"
"Hurry up, or they'll run away!!!"
Are you... polite?
Lu Wanqing looked at the overly excited youth in front of her, her mouth twitched slightly. She turned her head, exchanged a glance with Mu Sijie, and the next second, both of them, along with little Mu Lan, initiated a teleport.
Returning to the initial space, Lu Wanqing immediately looked at little Mu Lan and said, "Lanlan, let's change our skins!"
"Mhmm!" Mu Lan quickly nodded.
Without Lu Wanqing having to say it, Mu Sijie quickly changed into another high-end skin.
After the three of them had changed their skins and confirmed they wouldn't be recognized, they decided to go out again.
"Mommy, let's go back quickly, the barren planet is so much fun!" Little Mu Lan tugged at her mommy's hand, urging excitedly.
Mu Lan genuinely loved that period of life on the barren planet. Lu Wanqing smiled, ruffled the little one's head, and then activated the teleportation mode.
Entering the simulated barren planet once more, Lu Wanqing was immediately startled by the dense crowd. Why were there so many people?
"You can block others," Mu Sijie reminded, and at the same time, he reached out to press the block button.
Lu Wanqing thought for a moment, then decided to enable the stranger blocking mode as well.
Without seeing the dense crowd of netizens, Lu Wanqing finally felt that the barren planet had returned to the feeling of that time when they were really on the barren planet. It was quiet and beautiful inside.
That night, Lu Wanqing, just like she had on the barren planet, lived on the barren planet with little Mu Lan and Mu Sijie. They fished, picked wild vegetables and grapes, then made bows and arrows for hunting, and finally made a delicious picnic. Although the picnic on the StarNet only allowed for tasting and had no actual effect on the body, Lu Wanqing felt it was worth it.
They played for a long time, and it was very late when Lu Wanqing reminded Mu Lan and Mu Sijie that it was time to log off, as they couldn't always stay up late, which was bad for their health.
Mu Lan was very reluctant, and even Mu Sijie was a little unwilling, but there was nothing they could do. They finally logged off the StarNet together.
That night, Lu Wanqing still accompanied little Mu Lan to sleep. Lu Wanqing held the child, telling her bedtime stories. Her voice was slow and soothing, with a hypnotic quality.
Little Mu Lan was clearly very sleepy, but he tried hard to keep his eyes open. He looked at his mommy, not wanting to close his eyes.
Lu Wanqing finally finished the story. Seeing Lanlan struggling to stay awake, she lowered her head and kissed the child's forehead, gently saying, "The story is finished. Goodnight, Lanlan."
Little Mu Lan quickly raised his head, kissed his mommy's forehead, and said affectionately, "Goodnight, Mommy~"
Mu Lan had developed very good sleeping habits from a young age. While there had been some changes in the past few days, overall, the child's routine remained stable. When it was time, he would become extremely sleepy and want to sleep.
Lu Wanqing watched over him gently, and the child soon fell asleep.
Lu Wanqing was also sleepy, but she was reluctant to sleep. Her hand gently held Lanlan, feeling the warmth of Lanlan in her arms. She didn't want to let go.
It was the last night, and she didn't know how long it would be before she could hold Lanlan while sleeping like this.
Lu Wanqing thought about it, and couldn't help but softly kiss Lanlan again. Her movements were very light, so as not to wake little Mu Lan.
She stayed up very late and finally fell asleep. However, early the next morning, before dawn, she woke up with a start.
She opened her smart device and checked the time. It was time to make breakfast. She quickly got up and went downstairs to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the little one.
This would be the last breakfast she could make for Lanlan at the Mu family, right?
Lu Wanqing hesitated for a long time before deciding what to make. Finally, she decided she would make wontons for the little one!
Wontons were the taste of a mother. Even though more than three thousand years had passed, she still remembered the wontons her mother made for her when she was in ancient Earth.
When she first came to the Mu family, the first breakfast she made for little Mu Lan was wontons. Today, as she was leaving, she would make wontons for her last breakfast as well.
However, wontons were not easy to make, especially the wrappers, which needed to be very thin.
Lu Wanqing patiently made them bit by bit, and finally finished a pot full of wontons before seven o'clock. She checked the time. It wasn't too long before the little one would wake up, so she immediately put them on to boil.
Once the wontons were cooked, they were sent to the dining room by the domestic robot.
Lanlan should be waking up by now. Lu Wanqing quickly ran upstairs again.
In the room, little Mu Lan had already woken up and dressed himself. He was very well-behaved and sensible.
Seeing her enter, little Mu Lan happily ran over and hugged Lu Wanqing's leg, "Mommy!"
Lu Wanqing bent down, picked up the little one, kissed his forehead, and asked, "Have you brushed your teeth?"
Mu Lan nodded, "Yes, I have!"
After little Mu Lan decided to move downstairs to live, Lu Wanqing had discussed it with Mu Sijie. Therefore, later, all of the little one's belongings, including his room's nanny robot, were moved to the guest room. When Lu Wanqing was not in the room earlier, the nanny robot was still able to take care of the little one, helping him tidy himself up, brush his teeth, and wash his face.
"That's great!" Lu Wanqing lowered her head, kissed the child, and praised him.
Little Mu Lan also reached out his hands, hugged his mommy's head, and kissed her cheek, praising, "Mommy is great too!"
Lu Wanqing smiled, holding little Mu Lan, and went downstairs to the dining room.
In the dining room on the first floor, Mu Sijie's grandparents, parents, and Mu Sijie had all woken up. Everyone was sitting in the dining room, waiting for them.
Lu Wanqing carried little Mu Lan over, first placing him in the child's seat, buckling his safety belt, and then sitting down in her own seat beside him.
"Everyone, please eat while it's hot, otherwise the wontons will be cold and not taste good," Lu Wanqing said to everyone, smiling and urging them.
Wen Lan reacted and quickly nodded. She looked at everyone and said, "Yes, yes, everyone, please eat. Wanqing worked hard all morning, and these wontons are her heartfelt gesture. Eat more, don't waste them."
No one spoke of the departure, but everyone knew in their hearts that although they hadn't felt it too strongly before, at this moment, the Mu family realized that they were all very reluctant to see Lu Wanqing leave.
But Lu Wanqing had to go. Taking good care of every child was her responsibility. Lu Wanqing couldn't just focus on Lanlan and disregard the feelings of other children.
