"Who said it wasn't true? I held you in my arms when you were little, but I didn't expect you to be this big in the blink of an eye."
"When I was watching TV, I was wondering why this child looked so much like Qiao Sang. I didn't expect that they were the same person. If your mother hadn't planned to hold a wedding banquet, I wouldn't have known about it."
"You are the champion of the National Campus Beast Taming League, and you are a senior in the third grade. Does this mean that you are the best in the country's high schools?"
"I heard that you are going to Chaoxiu Star as an interstellar exchange student. What is the name of the school? Is there a Holy Water Middle School?"
"Ever since you were little, I knew you would be a great person when you grow up. Look, you have become a great person indeed."
The people around me were talking to each other.
Qiao Sang accepted the red envelope and smiled politely.
In fact, apart from her third aunt and uncle, she had to search for a long time in her mind to identify the other relatives who came.
The relationship between relatives is a magical thing. Even though we may not see each other once a year, we always seem to be very familiar with each other when we meet.
As long as there is a prominent figure among the relatives, even if the relative is the most distant one, they can always go out and tell others "so-and-so in my family is so-and-so" to get some of the credit.
Several waiters kept delivering food and drinks to the table.
While seeing them off, they couldn't help but take a look at the center of the banquet. They wanted to see what the person the reporters in the lobby wanted to interview was like.
Unfortunately, the central character was so attentively surrounded by a group of people that he couldn’t see anything.
As time passed, the guests finally took their seats.
Ye Xiangting held up her wine glass and clinked glasses with her relatives one by one and exchanged greetings.
It was not difficult to tell that she was really happy from the way her mouth never turned down.
Qiao Sang held Yabao in his arms and ate the food.
A cousin next to me asked, "Aren't you going to take the Burning Star Dog back to the Beast Taming Code?"
"tooth!"
Yabao turned his head, looked at the human who was speaking, and bared his teeth.
The cousin suddenly froze, stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom first."
After saying that, he picked up his phone and turned away quickly.
Qiao Sang: “…”
"Don't scare others." Qiao Sang rubbed Yabao's head and said.
"tooth……"
Yabao curled his lips.
It just brightens the teeth...
"Qiao Sang." At this time, an old voice sounded behind him.
Qiao Sang turned his head upon hearing the voice, was stunned for a moment, then stood up and called out, "Grandma."
The relatives who were chatting at the same table suddenly fell silent.
As the most promising child in the Ye family today, even distant relatives know about Qiao Sang's family affairs.
Nowadays, those who are drinking are all from the Ye family, and the appearance of people from the Qiao family makes the atmosphere inexplicably awkward.
The gray-haired old lady stared at her granddaughter with burning eyes, and her expression was a little nervous.
"Can we go talk over there?" the old lady asked.
Qiao Sang glanced in the direction of his mother.
She knew that if her mother hadn't informed her, her grandmother would never have known and come here.
"Okay." Qiao Sang nodded.
The two came to the French window.
The people around looked at him, but no one went up to disturb him.
"This must be Liaoxing Dog." The old lady smiled and touched Yabao's head: "It looks really good."
"tooth."
Yabao curled his eyes in enjoyment.
After searching for a while, the old lady looked up and took out a red envelope from her bag. She handed it to me a little awkwardly and said, "Your mother told me that you are going to Chaoxiu Star. Here, there is 50,000 in it. The password is your birthday."
Qiao Sang didn't take it and said calmly: "No, the money my mother gave me is enough."
To be honest, as a rational adult, she really has no problem with her grandmother.
But maybe because she favors her mother, or maybe because her grandmother rarely appeared when she was growing up, she really can't get close to her grandmother.
Her parents were divorced in her previous life, so she might have had some extravagant hopes when she was a child, but as she grew up, she had become accustomed to life without a father and a grandmother.
Even without her father's side of the family, she still managed to live a good life.
The old lady's body stiffened, and she looked a little lonely. After being silent for about two or three seconds, she asked, "Did you block your father?"
Qiao Sang said: "Maybe, people who didn't contact me before have been contacting me recently, and I blocked those whose numbers I am not familiar with."
The old lady's body stiffened again.
As an old man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life, I can naturally hear the hidden meaning.
The old lady was silent again for two or three seconds, then she thought of something, took out her cell phone and dialed a number.
The next moment, the phone in Qiao Sang's pocket vibrated.
She pulled out her cell phone and took a look.
Caller ID: Grandma.
The phone stopped vibrating suddenly.
Qiao Sang raised his head.
The old lady laughed heartily: "Fortunately you didn't block me."
After the old lady left, Yabao seemed to sense something and licked his beastmaster's hand with his tongue.
"tooth!"
Qiao Sang lowered his head and smiled: "I'm fine."
She thought rationally that, rather than family affection, her grandmother was more of a debt. If she hadn't won the National Campus Beast Taming League this time, she might not have remembered her for a while, and it would have been impossible for her to contact her during this time period that was not the New Year.
Qiao Sang looked up at his mother who was holding a glass and smiling not far away, and walked towards her.
…
Weekend morning.
Shengshui Middle School, no classes.
Normally, everyone should be in the dormitory, but most of the students were standing in the corridor, looking at the figures below and whispering.
The people who are going to take Qiao Sang to the star port have arrived.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
"Remember to call me when you get there." Ye Xiangting looked at her daughter and said gently.
Qiao Sang nodded: "I will."
"Remember to eat on time and go to bed early at night. You are only in the first year of high school. Although you have fallen behind in many courses because of the competition, don't expect to make up for it all at once. You have to study step by step, understand?" Ye Xiangting advised.
"I understand." Qiao Sang responded softly.
She didn't tell her mother that she was going to take the college entrance examination directly. It would be better to tell her about this matter after she passed the exam. After all, the chance of failing was very high. Telling her would make her mother worry about her. And given her mother's habit of making phone calls, she was afraid that she would tell everyone about it, and it would be embarrassing if she failed the exam.
"Listen carefully to your teacher. If you are not allowed to bring your cell phone to school, don't bring it. Just come over to talk on the phone on weekends." Ye Xiangting continued, "Remember to take good care of Yabao and the others' meals."
Qiao Sang said, "Don't worry, I know."
Ye Xiangting looked at her daughter with an expression that was softer than ever before.
The excitement and pride faded away, and what followed was worry and reluctance.
My daughter is still so young and has just started high school, but she has to leave me for such a long time... Ye Xiangting felt an indescribable sadness in her heart.
Just as she was about to give him some more instructions, Qiao Sang said, "Well, Mom, how about we talk while we walk? Actually, you can take me to Star Harbor together."
Ye Xiangting: "..."
…
Yuhua Star Port.
Where the starship is parked.
As a passenger starship capable of traveling in space, the ship is extremely large, and its shape and silvery-white luster give people a strong sense of futuristic science fiction.
It seems out of place with some of the buildings in the Yuhua area.
Under his mother's reluctant gaze, Qiao Sang waved his hand and stepped into the starship.
"There are two more people going with you as exchange students this time, a boy and a girl. They have already arrived, and you should know one of them." The man who spoke was about 1.9 meters tall, had a buzz cut, and was very strong.
It was Officer Chen who was arranged by the state to escort the three exchange students.
I know him? Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, "Is it Tang Yi?"
Officer Chen said admiringly: "Your guess is quite accurate."
Nonsense, I know him, and he was chosen as an interstellar exchange student. Of course, he is my opponent in the national competition. Besides me, the other one is naturally the runner-up... Qiao Sang said modestly:
"No, I'm just guessing."
Officer Chen led the way and said, "We should have set out from the starport in the hollow area, but considering that you are the youngest, we asked them to gather here. They arrived last night, and you can have a good chat with them later."
"Okay." Qiao Sang replied.
Along the way, Yabao in my arms looked around curiously.
Little Xunbao appeared and looked around curiously.
The starship's cabin adopts a fully transparent design, allowing you to clearly enjoy the scenery outside.
Many small pets are walking around in the starship.
An interstellar tour takes at least a month, and it is impossible for a pet to stay in the Beast Taming Book for such a long time. Therefore, the design of the starship allows pets to appear and move, but the size of the pet cannot exceed 3 meters in height and 4 meters in length.
As we all know, the larger the size of most pets, the higher their level.
Among those who can travel in the interstellar space, there are many beastmasters who own high-level pets. At this moment, their pets are basically wearing light shrinking bracelets like Yabao.
Not everyone has been able to buy it, but before entering the starship, the staff at the starport will give out a coded lightweight shrinking bracelet based on the pet's information, and then take it back when you arrive at the destination.
"The starship is divided into cockpits, sleeping cabins and cabins. The leisure areas are also separate. The country has reserved cabins for you to ensure that you have enough space to rest." Officer Chen introduced as he walked:
"On the starship, pet battles are prohibited, and offensive skills cannot be trained."
As he was speaking, a voice rang out: "Officer Chen!"
Officer Chen paused.
Qiao Sang looked in the direction of the voice and saw Tang Yi and a pretty girl with waist-length hair, wearing a leather beret, and dressed fashionably.
In her arms, she was holding a cat-like pet that was also wearing clothes and a hat, with green fur exposed.
Tang Yi was holding a smaller version of Parelulu in his arms.
Almost at the moment their eyes met, Yabao and Parelulu's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
“Xunxun!”
At this time, Xiao Xunbao stood in front of Yabao with an expression as if he was ready to sacrifice himself heroically.
Don't be impatient, let it get beaten up first! Qiao Sang: "."
Yabao: “???”
