Chapter 63. Mom's here.
Around the square, carefully selected personnel stood silently, the cold night wind rustling the flags.
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the silver hatch slid to the sides, and soft white light poured in from the inner door.
A slender and graceful figure stood in the halo of light. Because of the backlight, her face appeared hazy and indistinct in the light.
"Mother!"
Yu Yu broke free from Yan Xingli's hand, took short strides, and dashed out like an arrow, her little voice full of joy and excitement.
"Baby--"
The figure moved as well; it was Qi Feizhu.
Without any dazzling entrance effects, Qi Feizhu simply leaped off the futuristic spaceship and steadily caught the child who lunged at her.
"Baby, baby!"
Qi Feizhu picked up Yuyu and kissed her daughter's cheek hard: "Mommy missed you so much."
The moment Qi Feizhu picked up Yuyu, the heavy feeling made her vividly recall the spicy, fresh, sweet, and fragrant journey her precious daughter had taken.
The little one's life on Earth is more comfortable than she could ever imagine.
The child, like a koala, clung tightly to Qi Feizhu's neck: "I miss you so much too."
Yu Yu pouted, like a newborn woodpecker, enthusiastically pecking at her mother's face.
Qi Feizhu soon had her face covered in the child's saliva.
"Mom, are you tired?"
Qi Feizhu gently smoothed the stray hairs from Yu Yu's forehead with her fingertips, looking at her with a beaming smile:
"I'm not tired. Just thinking about you makes me feel all tired."
They flew from the planet Cang'ai to the Jurassic World, taking a week to travel on foot, and it only took them ten hours to get from the Jurassic to Earth.
Compared to a long week, these ten hours are nothing.
Yu Yu pressed her soft, round face against her: "Mom must be tired from running around in my head every day."
The mother and daughter cuddled together for a while, oblivious to everyone else. The others didn't feel slighted; on the contrary, they were moved.
What's wrong with aliens? As long as they're not cold-blooded animals and possess emotions and reason, then the door to communication and peaceful coexistence is already more than half open.
Having had her fill of cozy moments, Yu Yu suddenly seemed to remember something, straightened up her little body, faced the cabin door, looked around curiously, and blinked her eyes in confusion:
"Mom, why isn't Dad coming out yet?"
Qi Feizhu: "Baby, your dad got a last-minute mission, so Mom came over first."
Qi Youyu puffed out her cheeks little by little: "Daddy really loves playing in the sand."
Yan Cheng, the father, is a paleontologist. Every time he goes to a research site, he digs up soil to analyze the environment.
Qi Feizhu smiled and said, "When he comes back, you can punish him properly."
After saying this, she put the child on the ground and suppressed her overly expressive emotions.
Leading the fish by the hand, she walked calmly to the leader, a gentle and friendly smile on her face.
The leader stepped forward at the opportune moment, followed closely by Zheng Shoucheng and other senior officials.
"Hello, Ms. Qi Feizhu, you must be tired from your journey."
"It's not hard work at all."
Hands clasped together, marking the first meeting between Earthlings and inhabitants of the Cang'ai planet.
*
A simple and elegant reception hall.
The highest leader, representing Earth, personally presented two carefully selected gifts to Qi Feizhu.
A global plant seed bank and a national porcelain tea set.
This was a gift they chose after careful consideration and several discussions.
They had learned about the situation on Cang'ai Planet from Yu Yu beforehand. Although both planets are habitable, the plants and animals that grow on the two planets are not exactly the same.
The planet Cang'ai is home to magical plants that they cannot even imagine, and Earth also preserves species that Cang'ai has never recorded.
This gift is not only an exchange of material goods, but also a friendly exchange between two planets.
Qi Feizhu's eyes widened slightly upon receiving the gift.
She hadn't expected her ancestor to be so generous.
It is important to know that after the Earth exploded, many precious porcelains, antiques, craftsmanship, and material heritage were all lost.
Even when archaeologists later reconstructed the site based on available data, they could not achieve the same effect as before.
Without the charm of antiquity, without the weight and vicissitudes of history, they are nothing more than bland imitations.
“These gifts are too precious,” she murmured.
Despite being a mother, Qi Feizhu is still just a sixty-year-old girl.
Faced with the living ancestors and those precious cultural relics, they were overwhelmed with gratitude and at a loss for words.
"If you can appreciate and like them, that's the best home for them," the leader said kindly.
Qi Feizhu came from Jurassic World in a hurry and could not have expected that his beloved daughter would come to Earth in the Little Fish after he and his wife went on a business trip. Therefore, he was unable to prepare a big gift for the planet Cang'ai.
She pressed the light brain on her wrist, and a subtle ripple appeared in the air.
Suddenly, a suitcase the size of a regular suitcase appeared out of thin air in her hand.
Qi Feizhu said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I left in a hurry and couldn't prepare a formal return gift."
"The box contains some nutritional supplements and basic skincare products."
"They have all undergone special sterilization treatment, and the skin care products contain mineral complexes extracted from dinosaur eggs, which are very helpful in maintaining skin elasticity."
Dinosaur eggshell?
Yan Xingli's heart skipped a beat.
He glanced at the box out of the corner of his eye, wondering if it was a Tyrannosaurus Rex eggshell.
Yan Cheng had previously mentioned that he would use dinosaur eggshells to make face masks for the mother and daughter.
Qi Feizhu paused for a moment: "Please rest assured about their safety. My husband and I are long-term users of these products and have not experienced any adverse reactions."
"The relevant instructions for use and ingredient data are all in the box. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. I'm happy to answer them."
Experts who are listening intently: !
Xiao Qi is a good person to get along with; she's very thorough in everything she does.
The medical experts standing in the crowd smiled, their brains already racing: dinosaur eggshell extract, the life code of prehistoric behemoths!
There are also nutrients from the planet Cang'ai. Just think about it, the nutrients that Yu Yu used in the memory bread could cure Alzheimer's disease with just one drop.
Therefore, it can be inferred that the nutrients in the box must be of good quality.
They must make allocations and develop research plans as soon as possible.
Paleontologists are heartbroken.
Dinosaur eggshells! Those are the eggshells of prehistoric behemoths! Even scraping a little powder off the eggshells could be treasured in a laboratory!
What a waste!
An elderly paleontology professor clutched his chest, his eyes fixed on the box with a resentful look, wishing he could at least keep a single eggshell.
The tech giants appeared calm, but inside they were going crazy.
The time-traveling spaceship that flew in from the Jurassic World must have a lot of valuable data on it!
How exactly does it achieve such precise jumps? What is its core energy source? Each of these questions is enough to warrant rewriting existing physics textbooks.
After a simple welcome dinner, Yan Xingli and security personnel escorted the mother and daughter to their new accommodation arranged by the base.
A more spacious and comfortable suite with top-level security.

With no one around and the warm lights casting a shadow over them, the three of them sat in the living room, and the atmosphere finally relaxed.
Xiao Hua was unusually excited to see Qi Feizhu, shaking her head like a puppy, and tying on an apron to wash and scrub in the already spotless apartment.
Qi Feizhu was overjoyed: "Xiao Hua, stop busy, come over here and let me take a good look at you."
Xiao Hua put down the rag in her hand, scurried over, and stood obediently in front of Qi Feizhu.
(*^▽^*)
Qi Feizhu smiled and said, "Xiao Hua, did you knit your hat and scarf yourself? They're so pretty."
Little Flower happily twirled around, so vibrant it didn't seem like a robot at all. It pointed its little round finger at Yan Xingli:
"No, madam."
“My hat was bought by Xing Ge at the mall, and my red scarf was made by Xing Ge’s father, Mr. Yan.”
“I really like them, they suit me perfectly.”
Qi Feizhu's gaze naturally fell on Yan Xingli.
Yan Xingli involuntarily straightened his back.
Qi Feizhu stood up, came to him and sincerely thanked him: "Grandpa, thank you for taking care of Yuyu during this time. Yuyu must have caused you a lot of trouble."
Yan Xingli also got up in a hurry.
Then he was surprised to find that Qi Feizhu was about the same height as Yan Yuanqing.
Looking at Qi Feizhu, who was a head taller than him, Yan Xingli had only one thought in his mind.
I was careless; I should have asked beforehand.
Thinking back to the height-increasing insoles he used to scoff at and throw in the trash, Yan Xingli now feels nothing but deep regret.
...What exactly is he so aloof about?
"You're welcome, it's nothing."
Qi Feizhu: "Actually, I also prepared a gift for you."
Yan Xingli was taken aback for a moment, then stammered, "You're welcome."
“We’ve been preparing this gift for a while now,” Qi Feizhu said. “We started preparing it after Yu Yu told us that you were taking care of her.”
That's been about two months, right?
Yan Xingli couldn't help but feel a little curious.
Qi Feizhu pressed the light brain on his hand again, and the familiar fluctuations appeared out of thin air.
Unlike the suitcase, this time she appeared as a thin, matte black choker.
?
Are these the trendy items on Planet Cang'ai right now?
Qi Feizhu handed the neck ring to Yan Xingli: "Ancestor, this is a holographic game that can improve acting skills."
"ah?"
"YuYu said you were very passionate about the performing arts, but because of YuYu, you had to leave the entertainment industry."
Qi Feizhu spoke with heartfelt sincerity: "This holographic game can help you find the feeling of acting. Our actors on Cang'ai Planet use it to improve and hone their acting skills. Perhaps you can give it a try. We would also like to take this opportunity to express our apologies to you."
"..."
Yan Xingli looked at Yu Yu, who was secretly winking at him, and felt so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into a hole.
Help! Could it be that Yu Yu's parents were secretly watching his show in their spare time?
Yan Xingli's toes gripped the ground.
He forced a smile and said, "Okay, thank you."
"It's my turn, it's my turn."
Unable to get a word in edgewise, Yu Yu suddenly popped out from behind, hugged Qi Feizhu's leg, and raised her little face:
"Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, do I have a present?"
What gift did you prepare for me?
Qi Feizhu bent down and gently pinched Yu Yu's little nose: "Baby, if Mommy says no, will you cry?"
"I don't know how," Yu Yu straightened her little body and said righteously, "I prepared it for Mom. If Mom is happy, I'm happy."
That's how adults are; they need to be coaxed to behave, and she understands that.
