Xiao Zhong Li Yi pushed harder, his hands flailing, trying to push Lu Wanqing away.
Lu Wanqing rubbed the top of the child's head, then let go of the little guy who was clearly uncomfortable with his mother's presence.
Forcing it felt good, but she couldn't overdo it. Otherwise, she wouldn't fix the little guy's bad habits; it would backfire and make him completely detest her as his mother.
Zhong Li Feiyu watched the whole thing from the side. He had never thought there was anything wrong with Xiao Zhong Li Yi before. But seeing the child struggle in Lu Wanqing's arms just now, he seemed to understand.
Xiao Yi was too reserved. At four or five years old, he should be...
Zhong Li Feiyu thought of Mu Lan. When they met on the barren planet last time, the child had obviously changed a lot compared to before. He talked more than he used to, his eyes were brighter, and especially Mu Lan's constant smile, which made everyone feel how happy he was with Lu Wanqing.
With half an hour of free time remaining, Lu Wanqing looked at Xiao Zhong Li Yi. She was curious about what Xiao Zhong Li Yi usually did during this half-hour of free time.
As it turned out, Xiao Zhong Li Yi was very uncomfortable being stared at by Lu Wanqing. He sat on the sofa for a while, then finally couldn't stand it anymore. He stood up, knitted his small brows, and looked at Lu Wanqing displeasedly, asking, "Why are you staring at me all the time!"
Lu Wanqing: "..."
Cough cough!
She didn't mean to. She was just curious about what a stoic kid like Yi would do during his free activity time.
"It's nothing, Mommy was just..."
"Alright, Mommy won't stare at you anymore. Do whatever you want. Mommy will watch a movie."
Lu Wanqing quickly changed the subject and then lowered her head to open her Guangnao, deciding to watch a movie instead of staring at the cub, who was clearly getting annoyed.
But somehow, Lu Wanqing found Xiao Yi very cute.
This little fellow, so proper and serious, seemed lifeless, yet he would get flustered by her deliberate teasing and uncomfortable being stared at, questioning her with displeasure.
From another perspective, was the little guy's personality not yet beyond redemption? Could he still be guided and corrected?
That's true. The little guy was only just over four years old this year, oh no, he should be five.
Time flew by so fast. She had already been in the interstellar era for a year. A year ago, the cubs were four years old. So, by now, shouldn't the cubs be five as well?
Five-year-old cubs were still so small. How could their personalities be so set that they were beyond redemption?
The more Lu Wanqing thought about it, the happier she became. By the time she opened her Guangnao, the corners of her mouth were turned up high. Anyone could tell that she was very happy now.
No matter the era, surfing the internet was the easiest way to pass the time, and the interstellar era was no exception. Lu Wanqing browsed the web for a while and watched some short videos. Half an hour passed quickly.
"Lu Wanqing." Zhong Li Feiyu called her.
Lu Wanqing blinked and looked up at Zhong Li Feiyu.
Zhong Li Feiyu said, "Xiao Yi needs to go for training."
Lu Wanqing reacted and quickly agreed, "Okay, let's go."
As Lu Wanqing spoke, she stood up and closed her Guangnao.
Zhong Li Feiyu watched her skillful operation and knew that she often used her Guangnao like this. However, everyone had different habits, so he didn't say anything.
Zhong Li Feiyu and Xiao Zhong Li Yi went out, and Lu Wanqing quickly followed them.
The military family area was different from the ordinary residential area. It had dedicated training grounds, practice rooms, and even competition arenas. Everything was very good, worthy of being the military family area!
Lu Wanqing trotted along behind them until they reached the entrance of a training room.
Zhong Li Feiyu made some settings on the control panel, then left Xiao Zhong Li Yi alone in the room and led Lu Wanqing out.
Lu Wanqing turned back hesitantly, "Is this it?"
"Mm-hmm." Zhong Li Feiyu nodded.
Outside, Lu Wanqing understood what kind of training Xiao Zhong Li Yi was undergoing. There was a screen outside the training room door. Zhong Li Feiyu pulled the screen down, and they could see Xiao Zhong Li Yi training in the training room through the screen.
Lu Wanqing felt this was high technology and couldn't help but focus, watching the little guy train intently.
Suddenly, many bugs appeared in the previously empty room. Xiao Zhong Li Yi, holding a glowing weapon, began to fight the bugs.
He not only had to kill the bugs but also dodge them carefully. There was a red health bar above his head, which would decrease if he was touched by a bug.
Oh, this...
Lu Wanqing understood the rules and couldn't help but turn to look at Zhong Li Feiyu. Was this not a game?
And it looked like a fun one, like the VR game videos she had seen on short videos from the 21st century during the ancient Earth era?
However, the VR game videos from the 21st century simulated characters hitting various blocks and triangles, and those obstacles came from one direction. Here, they were in a room, and the bugs could come from all directions. They could attack the player from any angle!
Ah, no, the trainee!
"This is a simulated battlefield. On the battlefield, we face thousands of insectoids. An excellent warrior must have agile dodging skills to avoid being attacked by the insectoids, and at the same time, be able to accurately target and kill them!" Zhong Li Feiyu explained to Lu Wanqing.
Lu Wanqing suddenly understood, but then her eyes lit up. She liked it!
Most things in the interstellar era were too advanced, and she couldn't understand the rules of many games quickly. But this was different. It was called training, but it felt like a game, one she was familiar with and felt was fun!
"Can I play too?" Lu Wanqing couldn't help but ask, thinking about it.
Her eyes were glued to the screen, watching Xiao Zhong Li Yi "train hard" in the game, or rather, in the training room. She felt a tickle of desire and really wanted to play!
"You... want to train too?" Zhong Li Feiyu was also surprised. In the interstellar era, insectoids were the most hated creatures by everyone. Unless absolutely necessary, no one liked to interact with insectoids, even if they were just virtual insectoids simulated by technology.
Lu Wanqing's eyes sparkled. She turned her head and looked at Zhong Li Feiyu expectantly, "I want to try, can I?"
Zhong Li Feiyu looked at her, hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "...Alright."
There was more than one training room. Zhong Li Feiyu opened the adjacent training room, thought for a moment, set it to the simplest mode, and then turned to Lu Wanqing and said, "Okay, you can try."
"Mm, thank you." Lu Wanqing was extremely happy and quickly agreed.
Zhong Li Feiyu hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but remind her, "If you can't stand it, you can press the exit button on the control panel to force quit the training."
