Shi Nian is a cute little Omega cub. His favorite thing to do every day is to cuddle in his dad's arms with his little bear doll and then stare blankly at his dad's exquisite face with his ...
Just as Shi Nian happily unwrapped the lollipop and prepared to eat it, he felt someone tap on his shoulder.
The little cub looked back blankly and saw Yun Xujing holding Sharp, mouthing to him anxiously: Save him quickly.
Oh, right! He didn't come here to eat, he came here to save Susu!
Shi Nian almost forgot what he was doing. He quickly pinched the lollipop in his hand and ran to Zhong Lao who was assembling the kitten. He pulled his clothes and said, "Grandpa, you haven't helped me fix my little one yet."
Old Zhong was stunned for a moment, and tried to open his eyes wide to look at the Sharp that Yun Xujing was holding. "Hey, look at Grandpa's memory. Grandpa will fix it for you right away."
He asked Yun Xujing to place Sharp on another workbench, and a robotic arm opened Sharp's chest cavity under the control of Mr. Zhong.
Shi Nian stood on a stool and watched from the side, her face stern and her lips tightly pursed.
It was clear to see that within Sharp's chest, a complex circuitry had replaced various organs. Elder Zhong manipulated the circuitry with ease, taking out something that Shi Nian couldn't identify and placing it into Sharp's chest.
Time passed minute by minute, Yun Xujing looked at the scene with red eyes, turned his head and wiped away his tears.
Zhong Lao obviously did not find the situation difficult to deal with, and murmured leisurely: "Beyond the lonely galaxy, are your deep eyes."
"Beside the rotating star tracks are the circles on your fingertips."
"My dear, have you ever seen the immortal pillar of stars?"
Under Kuderian's shocked gaze, Shi Nian followed his words in a childish voice, "My thoughts for you will cross light years, follow that bright light, and come to your side."
Mr. Zhong looked at him and smiled, "I wonder if you will remember me then."
"The nebula will carry my body, and time will make us overlap."
"I came to you with a glass bottle filled with fireflies, and you returned the gift with a sea of stars."
A tuneless poem echoed in the studio.
After reading it, Shi Nian and Mr. Zhong both smiled.
Sharp's bleeding stopped successfully, and the paleness on his face gradually faded, revealing a healthy color.
Before leaving, Shi Nian accepted food from Mr. Zhong again. Seeing that Shi Nian really couldn't hold so much food, Mr. Zhong directly put the snacks in his hat, stuffing it full.
"Be good, you must listen to your father." Zhong Lao held Shi Nian's hand and muttered, "I know your father doesn't like you coming to see me, so don't let your father know this time."
"Eat these first. If you don't have enough, come and ask Grandpa for more. Grandpa has a lot of food here for you."
Shi Nian was so moved that she hugged him and said, "I understand, Grandpa."
Before leaving, he waved to Mr. Zhong reluctantly and said, "Goodbye, Grandpa. I'll come see you next time."
In the dim light, the old man's only remaining eye was misty with light. "Okay, grandpa will wait for you, dear."
After watching Shi Nian leave, a tall bionic man stood next to Old Zhong. He had a handsome face and a pair of eyes as calm as red glass. If Shi Nian was there, he would definitely find that he and Kelais looked 90% similar.
——It looked like the adult form of Kles.
The bionic man said in a low voice, "He is not Shi Xianyun."
Elder Zhong smiled and said, "I know Xianyun won't listen to me obediently."
"Then why did you save that person?"
"That little guy is Yi Yu's or Yi Chu's child. I'm also his great-grandfather, so it's only natural for me to help him... Daniel, when I die, he will be your master."
Daniel's eyes flashed red, and before his eyes flashed Shi Nian's pale, baby-fat face, her non-aggressive limbs, and the soft tone of her voice...
"Giving me to a cub with negative attack power would be more valuable than selling me as scrap metal."
The old man glared at him reproachfully and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Iron is worthless these days. Even if I sell you by the pound, you still can't buy a can of milk powder."
Daniel: ...
After confronting the arrogant bionic man, the old man dragged his hunched body to continue completing the pink kitten robot.
Daniel suddenly said, "Did you know that all the things you gave him are expired?"
Old Zhong's hands trembled, and he looked up in surprise. He first asked him what year it was, then took a bag of snacks and looked at the production date, his body trembling, "...What a sin."
It was already night time, and there were still many people in Apsuri walking around excitedly.
Shi Yiyu was waiting for them outside the door. Dan saw them appear and walked over. He glanced at Sharp in Yun Xujing's arms and asked, "How's the situation?"
"I'm fine now." Yun Xujing bowed deeply to Shi Yiyu. "Thank you very much. If you need me in the future, I will do my best."
Yun Xujing left with Sharp in his arms, and Shi Yiyu also set his sights on Shi Nian who was peeling the candy wrapper.
Shi Nian didn't notice him, as she was completely satisfied with the candy he was eating.
He finally peeled off the outer layer of paper and was about to put the candy into his mouth. He raised his little head as if he sensed something and met Shi Yiyu's eyes. The latter raised his eyebrows and walked up to him and opened his hands.
Shi Nian was like a frightened kitten. She immediately put her hands behind her back and cried pitifully, "Dad~"
He hasn't eaten a single bite yet.
The next second, the candy in his hand was snatched away by the doctor who happened to be standing behind him and thrown to Shi Yiyu.
Shi Nian: “!!!”
It's okay, he still has it.
Shi Nian comforted herself in this way.
But the next second, he was betrayed by the doctor.
"He's got plenty more in his pocket and in his hat."
“Crisp!”
Shi Nian's eyes were red with anxiety, and he looked at the doctor with a pout, looking like a heartbroken little pitiful person.
The doctor crossed his arms, stopped teasing him, and said bluntly, "These things are expired and can't be eaten."
Expired? How is that possible?!
Shi Nian couldn't believe that his happiness ended so quickly. He struggled to pull out a bag of potato chips from his hat and looked at the production date. It was thirty years ago.
This bag of chips is older than he is!
Shi Nian was completely dumbfounded, and he didn't come to his senses until Shi Yiyu took away all the snacks on him.
A few seconds later, Shi Nian hugged Shi Yiyu's neck and cried. The whole thing looked like an eggplant hit by frost, wilted and limp.
He could have had so much food, but in the blink of an eye, he had nothing.
Shi Nian felt a huge sadness in his heart, and he only felt the world's deep malice towards him.
Returning to the doctor's office, Shi Nian saw Yu Luhan sitting inside waiting for them, and immediately cried out aggrievedly, "Dad, hold me."
Yu Luhan hugged him and looked at his pouting mouth, then smiled and asked, "Who made our little rose suffer?"
Shi Nian secretly glanced at Shi Yiyu and the doctor, then threw herself into Yu Luhan's arms and said sadly, "All the snacks are gone."
Shi Yiyu placed all the snacks on the table. The table was full of food: potato chips, chocolate, sandwich cookies, milk...
Yu Luhan picked up the potato chips and looked at them, and said in surprise: "This looks like the kind we ate when we were kids, but hasn't this company been bankrupt for years?"
"This is what we ate back then." Shi Yiyu looked at the snacks with a look of nostalgia in his eyes. "It's an antique that's over a hundred years old."
It was obvious that Mr. Zhong had saved up all the food that children liked to eat, waiting for his beloved little one to come and eat it. Unfortunately, when the food's expiration date had passed, the little girl he was waiting for still didn't come.
Yu Luhan didn't know where Shi Nian got these snacks, so he coaxed him, "It's okay, Dad will buy you some later. These are expired and can't be eaten."
Shi Nian nodded, and suddenly remembered that Grandpa still had a lot of these expired snacks. She nervously tugged at Yu Luhan's sleeve and said, "Father, Grandpa can't eat them either. What will happen if he eats them?"
Yu Luhan was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Shi Yiyu.
Yu Luhan is the only one left in the Yu family, and Shi Yiyu's only mother has also passed away. Where did Shi Nian get her grandfather?
Shi Yiyu: "Don't worry, Grandpa doesn't eat snacks."
Grandpa saved all his snacks for his little granddaughter.
Shi Nian nodded with relief. He was very tired today and fell asleep on Yu Luhan's shoulder without realizing it.
Yu Luhan carried him back to his little bed and covered him with a small quilt.
When the doctor saw him come back, he whispered to them about the scene he saw in Mr. Zhong's studio, and also talked about the poem that Shi Nian and Mr. Zhong recited together.
Shi Yiyu frowned, "What kind of poem?"
The doctor recalled, reciting a few sentences from memory, "...the nebula will carry my body, and time will make us overlap."
Yu Luhan shook his head after listening to it, "Little Rose has never read this poem in front of us."
Shi Yiyu fell silent for a few seconds, then slowly said, "I've heard this poem before. My mother would occasionally recite it when she was still alive. But how would Little Rose know it?"
Shi Xianyun died before Shi Nian was born, so how did he know?
Kuderian questioned, "Are you sure you didn't mention this to Xiao Nian Nian?"
"No," Shi Yiyu told him firmly, "I don't understand this poem at all, and I certainly can't recite it."
Shi Yiyu hates everything related to literature.
Kuderian: "..."
It seems that I can only wait for Shi Nian to wake up and ask him.
