On the first day of the National Day holiday, Mingmei didn't watch the Empire's National Day live broadcast, and didn't even eat breakfast.
Early in the morning, she was taken by her second brother's starship to a private styling salon on the central star to prepare for tonight's banquet.
Can I get something to eat?
"Miss, that won't work right now," the stylist said with a smile, pointing to the data on her personal terminal and declining Mingmei's request. "It's strange, Miss, your dress size is from a month ago. When the dress was made then, we left some room in certain areas."
Mingmei: ...
Oh, is this a subtle way of reminding her that she gained weight this month?
"However, you can have some of the nutritional supplement, Miss. What flavor would you like? We have Mapo Tofu and Black Pepper Beef flavors for strong flavors, and Three Delicacies and Tomato flavors for milder flavors..."
Do you have a sweet version?
"Yes, we do! How about the durian cake flavor?"
Mingmei: "No, I'm not hungry. I'll just have some water."
What kind of weird flavors are these?
It's sad that after all these years, the people of the interstellar world still need to eat. This nutrient solution tastes so bad, it can't even beat instant noodles!
"Well then, Miss, let's continue discussing today's makeup. To be honest, I think you look great even without makeup. How about applying some moisturizing cherry red lip gloss to your lips? Also, since it's for the party, some areas of your skin should be highlighted..."
"The people who can draw me are people I know who wouldn't recognize me?"
Mingmei stared intently at herself in the mirror, speaking earnestly, completely unaware of the trouble her request was causing the stylist.
Tonight's Imperial Dinner will be broadcast live, and there will be a red carpet event.
Mingmei, who was already somewhat famous because of the game's NPCs, really didn't want to generate another wave of explosive popularity.
#Shocking! It turns out the mysterious businesswoman's character modeling is related to him!!#
Even the trending topics and headlines are full of bright sunshine.
"Oh dear, Miss, this is really troubling me! Am I making you look ugly? How can a beauty I've worked with become ugly? This would ruin my reputation! How annoying!"
Mingmei saw in the mirror that the nearly two-meter-tall, burly man behind her was almost twisted into a pretzel.
Mingmei: Significant stomach discomfort.
"Please speak normally."
Mei Qiu, who had changed her clothes and makeup, came over and saw that her makeup wasn't done and her dress wasn't bright enough. She first complained about the stylist's behavior at that moment.
Then he started nitpicking at Mingmei: "Can you please have some self-image? Look at yourself now, wearing a T-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops. Do you look like an old man going on a beach vacation?"
"Who woke me up so early in the morning? Did I even have time to change my clothes?"
"Is this your excuse for not washing your face or changing your pajamas?"
"Isn't that so?"
"Really? Didn't I tell you what time we'd meet this morning? You couldn't get up, and now you're blaming me?"
Mingmei: "..."
She didn't want to talk; her second brother was too talkative.
She spent a long time packing her suitcase for her trip with Mu Chen tomorrow last night. What's wrong with going to bed a little late?
"Cooperate well, and I'll tell you Yan Hui's new way of contacting him the day after tomorrow, okay?"
Seeing Mingmei's expressionless face and sulking, Meiqiu's attitude softened a bit.
"real?"
Mingmei had been pestering Ruan Xun for the past two days, but hadn't been able to find out Yan Hui's whereabouts. She looked at Meiqiu suspiciously: "Do you really know?"
"certainly?"
"Aren't you afraid your father will come after you?" (M.cascoo.net)
Mei Qiu: "..."
When asked about his father Mei Qiu's desire to find his uncle, Mei Qiu grinned awkwardly, his gaze somewhat unfocused, and said, "Father received an apology gift from my uncle these past two days, so... he should be less angry now, right?"
"ah?"
Mei Qiu didn't say what gift Yan Hui gave her, but Mingmei was thinking that she could contact Yan Hui later and ask him to enhance her gaming experience.
"Oh, right~"
While Mingmei was lost in thought playing a game, Meiqiu suddenly spoke up again: "How was your interaction with that Mu family boy...?"
"Um?"
Mingmei looked up at Meiqiu. The stylist beside her had already received Meiqiu's signal and temporarily left the room, leaving the brother and sister to chat.
Mingmei asked first, "Is he related to Mu Feize?"
She still remembers the role played by Mu Chen in "Prelude to Blood War".
"ah……"
Mentioning Mu Feize, Mei Qiu opened her mouth, looked down at her sister sitting in front of her, and nodded in acknowledgment: "He's my good brother, we fought side by side before, and then..."
And then stay in that place forever.
"Mu Chen is the child that the Mu family adopted into Mu Feize's family, right? The Mu family... Pfft~ Even in interstellar times, they are considered to be a rare old-fashioned family. In this day and age, they still emphasize the importance of having a successor."
Mei Qiu spoke in a deliberately relaxed tone, "Last time, during that game, the old lady of the Mu family watched the game live stream and cried so much, saying that Mu Chen looked exactly like Fei Ze when he was young."
Mingmei stared into Meiqiu's eyes and saw a fleeting look of nostalgia and sorrow in them. Before she could speak again, she heard Meiqiu say, "The Mu family once wanted to use the stem cells left behind when Feize was young to clone a child."
"Clone?" Mingmei was startled. "Then Mu Chen is..."
"No, Mu Chen isn't a clone; he's genuinely adopted. After millions of years of evolution, technological advancements, and the exploration of human genes, while human lifespan has been significantly extended, somatic cells have lost the ability to replicate into a complete human being."
Haven't you noticed that even if humans live for hundreds of years, they still only have one or two offspring?
If even the reproductive cells responsible for reproduction are so active, let alone other cells, even stem cells... it's highly unlikely that a complete living person could be cloned.
Hearing Mei Qiu's explanation, Mei breathed a sigh of relief.
"But this is for the best; it prevents the Zerg from finding an opening."
Since there was really no one else around to talk to, Mei Qiu and Ming Mei spoke without any restraint.
Seeing the look of utter confusion on her younger sister's face, Mei Qiu suppressed her disappointment and casually patted Mingmei's head, bringing the topic back on track: "So, what's going on between you and that Mu family kid? I saw you two in the game... tsk tsk! Do you think that counts as flirting?"
Heaven knows how much Mei Qiu's gossipy expression and slightly lewd smile ruined his handsome face!
This shattered the bright and cheerful impression that her second brother was actually quite reliable and a mature man.
So, with a hint of revenge in her eyes, Mingmei pretended to be naive, tilted her head at Meiqiu, and said innocently, "Hmm...ambiguous...how can it not count?"
Mu Chen: I'm pregnant!
"Heh~"
The big hand that had just been gently stroking Mingmei's head suddenly became irritable. By the time the stylist entered the room, Meiqiu had already left, leaving only Mingmei with her hair all messed up. The stylist looked at her with puzzled, beady eyes.
What were those two siblings doing just now?
