The fox cub's eyes regained their sparkle.

"Then you have to ask Papa Chi. If Papa Chi says he can give it to you, then you can get the shiny stone!"

Looking at her chubby son's serious expression in her arms, Shen Yulou couldn't help but kiss his face again.

It smells so good, so milky.

Shen Yulou loved the milky scent of her son.

"Aha..."

The fox cub's sweet, childlike voice was full of joy as it clapped its little hands together.

The little one wants to find Daddy Chi, the little one wants Daddy Chi to give him something sparkly!

“But Dad is working right now, shall we go find him later? Let’s look at Liangjingjing here for a while and pick out your favorite one.”

Shen Yulou patiently spoke to the fox cub in his arms, pointing to the stones inside the glass display case.

He wasn't worried that the fox cub wouldn't understand; although the fox cub was a bit silly, it still understood him perfectly.

Okay, okay!

The little one's soft, chubby body pressed against Shen Yulou's chest, and kicked its feet a few times to indicate its agreement.

So the father and son stayed in the exhibition room. Shen Yulou and the fox cub carefully examined each shiny stone, trying to select the brightest one.

Unfortunately, the fox cub couldn't help but doze off in its father's arms as it watched.

She fell asleep after a while.

"Little lazybones." Shen Yulou chuckled as he patted the fox cub's bottom, preparing to put him to sleep on the sofa and cover him with a blanket.

Otherwise you'll catch a cold.

They carefully carried the fox cub outside, intending to place it on the sofa.

When Chi Yuan saw them come out, he stretched and went to greet them.

"Asleep?" He pointed at the fox cub, keeping his voice as low as possible.

Shen Yulou nodded, indicating that the fox cub should be put on the sofa to sleep.

Chi Yuan waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need it.

Pressing a button on the wall, a bedroom appeared from the wall.

Chi Yuan pointed to the large bed inside, indicating to Shen Yulou to put the fox cub on the bed to sleep.

A small light was turned on in the bedroom because of the arrival of the fox cub.

In the dim light, Shen Yulou could barely make out the interior decoration of the bedroom.

He seemed to catch something out of the corner of his eye, his eyes were certainly fixed on it.

There is a small door not far from the large bed.

What is this place?

Shen Yulou gestured with his mouth, pointing to the small door.

Because the fox cub was sleeping in the bedroom, Chi Yuan didn't close the bedroom door again.

The two walked to the sofa, and only then did Chi Yuan begin to explain.

"Those doors contain my childhood science experiments. Because I wasn't very good at technology back then, these science products all had some defects."

"They were just piled up in that little room as souvenirs."

He scratched the back of his head, a shy smile on his face.

"So even our chief commander has things he can't do right?"

Shen Yulou joked.

"By the way, what were you looking at just now?"

While working, Chi Yuan seemed to hear the sounds of fox cubs.

"We've gone to your exhibition room."

"The little fox really likes the sparkly stuff inside and was wondering if you could give him one or two pieces."

Shen Yulou spoke for the fox cub, saying what the cub hadn't said.

There's nothing we can do; the fox cub has two fathers who love him so much.

"Really, you guys like it too?" Chi Yuan seemed to have been triggered by some special switch, and his whole body sprang to life.

“I’ve always loved shiny things since I was a child. These stones are fragments that were scattered after the collision of various planets.”

"They are scattered throughout the universe, and after being exposed to various specific types of radiation for a long period of time, they begin to emit light. The longer the exposure time, the brighter the light emitted."

"I make a point of collecting these stones when I go on missions or on interstellar travel."

Once Chi Yuan started talking about this topic, he couldn't stop.

Shen Yulou wasn't annoyed at all. He propped his head up with his hand, rested it on his knees, and listened attentively with his face turned to the side.
