Chapter 18 Meow



I didn't expect it to be a panda cub.

The cub looked at Gu Yumian, its round eyes unusually bright. After being picked up by Gu Yumian, its little head actually nudged into his arms, as if it was very close to him and liked him.

Gu Yumian's heart melted. He carefully helped it take off the lower half of the eggshell and held it in his arms to rub its fur.

Little Snow Leopard: “…”

The little snow leopard sitting on Gu Yumian's shoulder had a face that gradually became gloomier.

Round head, fat, looks stupid at first glance, how is this stupid thing better than it, and why is it worth Gu Yumian doing this?

It first jumped off Gu Yumian's shoulder, paced on the table in front of Gu Yumian, stretched its elegant and smooth body, and tried to attract attention.

At this time, Gu Yumian was unaware of anything and was concentrating on using a soft towel to wipe off the sticky residue on the panda's fur.

The little snow leopard suppressed its anger and condescended to press its paw into the human's palm, meaning that Gu Yumian was lucky enough to have the right to kiss its paw pad.

Gu Yumian indeed kissed it, and then her attention was quickly drawn away by the cub in her arms again.

Little Snow Leopard: “…………”

I can't stand it anymore.

It squeezed into Gu Yumian's arms, stretched out its claws and pushed the new idiot hard, trying to push it out.

The panda cub stared blankly at the snow leopard cub, then squeezed aside to make some space for it, its two front paws still tightly holding Gu Yumian's left hand.

The little snow leopard narrowed its eyes and showed its sharp claws, and a school bullying incident was about to break out.

Fortunately, it was quickly strangled in the cradle by Gu Yumian.

"Tuantuan, you can't bully your brother." Gu Yumian couldn't hold the two half-grown cubs, so he simply sat on the ground and rubbed the little snow leopard's head. "You are the big brother, right?"

Gu Yumian, unwittingly imitating the kindergarten teacher's skills, played both sides. He held the panda cub's paw and waved to the snow leopard cub, "Baby, this is Brother Tuantuan. Say hello to him. Until you find your parents, you must get along well with him."

Gu Yumian had already confirmed the gender when he was brushing the fur just now.

The panda cub was very understanding. After Gu Yumian let go, it slowly and friendly waved its paw at the little snow leopard. Gu Yumian couldn't help but laugh and patted its head.

"Tuantuan, you have to get along well with your brother," Gu Yumian rubbed the little snow leopard's paw, "Okay?"

The little snow leopard had calmed down a lot when he heard "found mom and dad".

It glanced down at the panda cub condescendingly.

Its parents died a long time ago, and this human belongs to it and will stay with it forever. Can this idiot do it?

It calmed down for a moment, then slowly and methodically waved its claws at the panda cub. Its unusually sharp claws remained unretracted, and coupled with its gloomy, cold gray-blue eyes, it looked more like a provocation and threat than a greeting.

Panda cub: “…”

She couldn't help but shrink a little more into Gu Yumian's arms.

An hour later.

Fortunately, Star Network is open 24 hours a day. Gu Yumian bought milk powder with several ingredients, mixed them according to the proportions from his previous life, and fed some to the baby panda.

It was already past eleven when we finished all this. It was too late and both the panda cub and the snow leopard needed to rest.

Why do panda babies come from eggs? Where are their parents?

Gu Yumian seldom went out after coming here, and seldom checked Weibo. The promotional posters of Twenty-Four Pots were almost all over the galaxy, but he had never seen them once. He had also searched for pandas on the Star Network before, but it showed "does not exist or you do not have permission to query". He thought pandas were extinct.

Turns out not.

Now I think it's probably because humans have too low a level of authority, so a lot of information is blocked and cannot be accessed. Although humans are now nominally equal citizens like all living things, they are actually being quietly treated differently in many places.

When he saw the baby panda for the first time, he thought about whether it might be one of Da Guo's... But the hope was too slim, so he decided not to hold out hope for now, so as to avoid being doubly disappointed later.

Gu Yumian was now confused by the situation and decided to take the children to bed first and talk about more things tomorrow.

The baby panda is extremely clingy. From the moment it was hatched until now, it doesn't want to leave Gu Yumian for even a second, so Gu Yumian has no choice but to sleep with it.

Now the little snow leopard was unhappy again.

It used to pretend to sleep separately from Gu Yumian and then sneak onto the bed in the middle of the night, but now it just squeezes in between Gu Yumian and the baby panda angrily. The baby panda is not strong enough and is almost crying out of grievance.

Gu Yumian was almost asleep, but he still held both cubs in his arms in a daze, muttering, "Tuantuan, don't bully the babies. Go to sleep quickly, and we'll get up tomorrow..."

After saying this, he fell asleep first.

The air was still filled with the scent of warm milk, the night was gentle, and with two fluffy little babies in his arms, this was the most relaxing and happiest moment Gu Yumian could imagine.

The room was silent.

The baby panda hadn't been weaned yet, and was completely clueless about the world. The only thing it was familiar with was Gu Yumian. It couldn't help but nuzzle into Gu Yumian's arms again, making a soft, almost milky sound.

Next second.

A pair of slender, bony hands grabbed the baby panda by the scruff of its neck and unceremoniously tossed it to the foot of the bed.

"Stupid thing."

This is the major flaw of the egg-shaped life capsule. After the potion makes people return to their infancy, their knowledge and memory will return to their childhood state - of course, this is not permanent, and they will eventually come back. Some people recover in a few minutes, while others take decades.

Of course, this does not achieve immortality. For example, if you return to childhood at the age of 20 and return to your original state after 30 years, your physiological state will directly jump to 50 years old.

Today's baby panda is indeed a real "stupid thing".

The baby panda stared blankly at the strange man who suddenly appeared with his eyes wide open. After confirming that the breath was that of the previous 'Brother Tuan Tuan', he blinked and slowly crawled from the foot of the bed to Gu Yumian.

Once again, he was coldly thrown away.

There was also a transparent barrier in front of it, so it could crawl anywhere except to Gu Yumian.

The baby panda was completely stunned. After a while, he pursed his lips and let out a more rapid and aggrieved whimpering sound from his throat.

Gu Yumian was sleeping soundly, and unconsciously wanted to rub the fur of the crying baby panda. When he reached out his hand, he touched the strong and tight chest and abdominal muscles. He was stunned - and then, his hand was completely held by another hand.

Gu Yumian asked dazedly, "Baby?"

The man's eyes froze slightly, and he bit his palm as if to vent his anger.

Gu Yumian was already a little tempted to wake up, but for some reason, something felt like a heavy weight pressing down on his eyelids, making him feel tired and unable to wake up. He subconsciously judged it and coaxed softly, "Tuantuan...be good."

The smell and feel were indeed his little snow leopard, but the touch was completely different. Gu Yumian really didn't have the brains to think about it anymore. He kissed the back of his hand as usual, hugged his "little ancestor", and went back to sleep.

The panda cub felt very aggrieved and helpless, rubbing against the place closest to Gu Yumian, separated by a transparent barrier. Soon, its attention was diverted, and its round eyes looked at the two with great curiosity.

Too close.

Shuo Han pursed his lips and stared at the young man before him. He wanted to reach out and brush away the hair that had fallen from his forehead, but his palm accidentally touched Gu Yumian's eyes. The butterfly-like eyelashes fluttered against his palm, and he withdrew his hand as if burned.

The moonlight shines through the white gauze curtains and spreads onto the floor.

Every breath was inexplicably difficult.

He stared at Gu Yumian intently, a hint of bewilderment gradually appearing in his gray-blue eyes. He stretched out his hand, and slid his index finger from Gu Yumian's brow to the corner of her eye, creating a beautiful kissable shape.

“…”

The light brain suddenly flashed rapidly.

Shuo Han's face darkened, and he stared at the computer with displeasure and impatience. Just like last time, he began to seriously consider whether or not to crush this stupid thing that only caused trouble.

Finally, he gave up and left the bedroom, laptop in hand. As he left, he grabbed the panda by the scruff of its neck. The baby panda frantically waved its paws in the air before Shuo Han casually tossed it onto the sofa in the living room.

"You'd better be in a hurry," he said indifferently, standing on the balcony and connecting to the optical computer communication. "Thirty seconds."

Even from such a distance, Grand Duke Finnick felt a cold sweat running down his face, as if his head might be chopped off at any moment. He quickened his pace, trying to explain as quickly and clearly as possible:

"Your Majesty, we have thoroughly investigated the egg-shaped lifeboat. It belongs to Panda Pot. We have determined that there is no threat at this time. The information has been sent to your computer.

"Also, Duke Rick's affairs have been dealt with, and we will be able to set off back to the capital planet soon. When do you plan to come back—"

Come back and continue to be emperor?

Previously, it was due to internal and external troubles. Shuo Han had experienced atavism for unknown reasons, and his condition was unstable, but now he has stabilized, and the external troubles have all been resolved. If His Majesty regards this as a "vacation", it seems to be long enough.

Grand Duke Finnick waited anxiously, not knowing what His Majesty's attitude was towards the human youth.

If it was just treated as a plaything and brought back to the palace to be raised, there would seem to be no problem, but the monarch did not seem to have this intention.

After a long time, Finnick heard a faint voice from the other end of the computer:

"I'll think about it."

Then, the communication was disconnected.

The next day.

Because he had been selected for the new talent support program, Gu Yumian needed to sign another contract with Xingkong. When he woke up, the little snow leopard and the baby panda were still asleep, so Gu Yumian left on his own. Fortunately, his home had a smart home system with comprehensive childcare features, so he could leave and return quickly, avoiding any danger.

This time when I arrived at the Star Building, I was still greeted by Kelly, but the attitudes of the other staff members were very different.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw many employees pointing at him curiously.

"Is it that human? Hahaha, didn't you guys complain and despise him for a long time the last time he came?"

“I didn’t understand then…”

"Yes, the one who became so popular within a week that he even squeezed out all the cigarettes. Are you here to sign a contract this time?"

"He does look very special in person, very... cat-pleasing. I want to take him home and have him comb his fur for me."

"I went to get his autograph. His cooking is incredible and delicious."

“…”

"Mr. Gu," Ke Li coughed and smiled a little embarrassedly, "The benefits of the support project are all written here, please take a look."

With so many anchors vying for this spot, the benefits are of course quite generous.

Not to mention the bonuses, there are also a series of rewards such as advertising endorsements. Gu Yumian originally signed the lowest-level Class E contract, but this time he was directly upgraded to Class B, and all his benefits have been greatly improved.

"Also, the Capital Star will hold a newcomer competition in a month. New anchors from all over will attend, and the travel and accommodation expenses will be covered by the Starry Sky official. My personal suggestion is to participate... Mr. Gu, would you consider it?"

This is also the top priority for supporting newcomers. Streamers like Yanjuan, who are not short of money and have good contracts, came here to participate in the competition from the beginning.

Go to the Capital Star to continue participating in the rookie competition. If you pass the preliminary round, you can get a key recommendation. If you are lucky enough to pass the finals or even win the championship, it will be no problem to directly join the ranks of first-line anchors.

Tak is so remote that while it has a large audience, it's a drop in the bucket compared to the entire interstellar landscape. Gu Yumian's current popularity is among the highest on Tak, while on the capital planet, he's at best a third-tier celebrity, someone most people wouldn't even know his name.

"However, if I go to the Capital Star, I won't be able to broadcast live on Tak Star for a while, and my popularity may be affected." There is a VPN on the Capital Star that can be used to access the Tak Star website. In a small place like Tak Star, even if someone has developed a VPN, it is not widely used.

This is also the reason why many people hesitate.

To Ke Li's surprise, Gu Yumian nodded without even thinking: "Okay."

"My kid... well, anyway, I can leave in the next two days."

——Yesterday’s live broadcast also made Gu Yumian think a lot.

He wanted to grow up with the little snow leopard, but in the interstellar age, the lifespan of humans without awakened superpowers was only about a hundred years, and even animals that could not awaken superpowers had a lifespan of about two hundred years.

His little snowball still can't speak. How will it live when he passes away in a few decades?

Prepare early.

Furthermore, when Gu Yumian woke up this morning, he found a light computer on the baby panda. However, the light computer had the structure of an adult light computer and could not be unlocked with the baby panda's fingerprint. The logo on the back of the light computer said "Made in Capital Star".

This shows that the baby panda is not a homeless child. It has a home, most likely on the capital planet.

The interstellar space is so vast that Tak Star cannot connect to the Capital Star Network. If the baby panda stays on Tak Star, it may never find its family... Even for the baby panda, Gu Yumian has to go to the Capital Star - of course, he has not taken the baby panda to the local police station to report the case, and plans to go there today or tomorrow. It would be great if he can find his family on Tak Star.

"Okay," Ke Li couldn't be more surprised. As a native of Tak Star, even if Gu Yumian could pass the preliminary round, it would be a great honor for them. "Then I'll go and help you arrange the procedures."

No one thought Gu Yumian could make it to the finals.

But Keli believed that if Gu Yumian went, he would definitely go further than any other anchor on Tak Star.

When Gu Yumian returned home, the little snow leopard and the baby panda were both awake.

The little snow leopard had just pushed the panda off the sofa and onto the floor, where it sat gracefully, licking its paws. The baby panda, dazed, sat down on the soft carpet. But when he saw Gu Yumian coming back, he suddenly relaxed and happily crawled towards him.

Gu Yumian: "...Snowball!"

He really wanted them to get along well, and the baby panda was also very friendly, but the little snow leopard obviously didn't think so. Gu Yumian couldn't help but sigh, picked up the baby panda, thought for a moment, and tried to pick up the little snow leopard as well.

"We're going to the capital planet in the next two days, so let's start packing today."

Although it is likely that neither of the two children at home can understand what he says or respond to him, Gu Yumian will still discuss everything with them first.

There isn't much to collect.

Since they hadn't lived here long anyway, they couldn't take the catnip they'd grown with them, so Gu Yumian only took some seeds. The rest were things for the little snow leopard and daily necessities, which they could buy on the capital planet.

However, in order to say goodbye to the fans on Tak Star and tell them that he would be going to Capital Star for the next period of time, Gu Yumian decided to hold another lottery.

"By the way, we need to give the baby a name." Gu Yumian rubbed the baby panda's head. "What do you want to call it?"

“…”

The baby panda blinked blankly.

"Why not call them Tangyuan first?" When Gu Yumian was raising Erguo and Sanguo, the agency officials would occasionally shoot some short videos of the dads and upload them to the video network. People often joked that Erguo and Sanguo looked like 'sesame dumplings with the filling exposed'.

This name is so stupid.

The little snow leopard looked at the baby panda with a gloating look.

"嘤." The baby panda actually liked it very much. He held Gu Yumian's hand, nuzzled in his arms, and made a soft, baby-like sound in his throat.

Gu Yumian's heart melted again, and he tried hard to resist the urge to kiss her forehead.

Little Snow Leopard: “…”

It doesn't go online often, otherwise it would be able to accurately describe its current mood.

It's like watching your boyfriend being completely bewildered by green tea and white lotus.

Anger and jealousy burned together.

At the same time, the capital star.

Twenty-Four Pot's agent was going crazy. He'd just taken a day off from accompanying Twenty-Four Pot to an interview, and when he came back to his senses, he was gone?!

"How do you manage to be an assistant?" the agent said, nearly losing his mind. "We're going to Tucker... on a starship... and you won't even accompany him on board? You'll just let him drive on his own?"

If Twenty-Four Pot's fans knew about this, who knew what kind of uproar they would cause. Being the most popular person in the entire galaxy wasn't just a casual statement. He hadn't been able to contact Twenty-Four Pot all day, no communication at all. Now he could only feign illness and hide it from the public, but he didn't know how long he could keep it a secret.

"Didn't I apply for a visa?" Xiaoduo was about to cry. Twenty-Four Pots was exempted from visas in the entire galaxy because of her special status. Tak Star was too remote, and she had never applied for a visa before.

Although the entire galaxy is now unified, the visa system is still retained for the sake of governance. They are all law-abiding citizens, so how can they sneak across the border?

Moreover, the Twenty-Four Pots were in a hurry at the time and they just picked one of the three starships and drove away.

"Forget it," the agent said, a headache splitting. "Book me a ticket to Tucker Planet."

Xiao Duo hesitated and said, "Um, have you applied for a visa?"
