Chapter 23, Section 23: "Uncle, how will you take care of the baby if you're like this..."
The emotional crystal received full energy at the concert with tens of thousands of people. If you ask what is most abundant on Earth, it must be people.
The emotional energy that Yu Yu had worked hard to accumulate on the Cang'ai Planet for a year and a half was accumulated in just half a month on Earth.
Unable to wait for the live stream to end, Qi Youyu had Xiaohua interfere with the signal, replaced the live stream feed, and then lay on the carpet fiddling with the personal terminal.
Thanks to the children, Yan Xingli was able to rest, but she couldn't contain her curiosity.
"Is the Little Fish's energy full?"
"Mmm." Fishy's eyes crinkled into crescents. "Little Fish is full."
Her personal computer has also restored the video call function.
Yan Xingli fiddled with the child's soft pigtails, asking with a half-joking expression, "So, are you going home soon?"
In this way, he wouldn't have to live in fear or feel the pinch of raising a little money-devouring beast.
Qi Youyu looked up: "I don't know."
Yan Xingli felt a strange sense of relief.
"I want to talk to my mom and dad." Qi Youyu tapped her short fingers on the contact list. "They must miss me a lot."
"You're going to call your parents?" Yan Xingli propped himself up from the floor. "Then I'll excuse myself for a moment."
Yu Yu called out to him, tugging at his sleeve, and said, "Uncle, you are the ancestor of me, my parents, my grandparents, and my great-grandmother. They like you very much."
Yan Xingli felt a chill run down his spine after hearing a long list of names called out by name.
He had a heart attack just thinking about how a few old men and women called him "Grandpa".
Yan Xingli once again firmly refused the child. "I'll go brush Qianjin's hair, you can continue with your own actions."
Before the child could say anything, he fled as if he were running away.
Yan Xingli sat on the bay window, holding Qianjin and casually brushing her fur, his eyes involuntarily glancing towards Yuyu, his ears perked up, listening for any sounds.
A transparent holographic screen was projected into mid-air. After a few seconds of waiting, the image flashed, and the figures of a man and a woman appeared clearly.
"baby."
"Mom and Dad!" Qi Youyu jumped up excitedly, "Where did you go?"
The background where Qi's mother and father were located resembled a tropical rainforest, with tall trees everywhere. The two were wearing silver bodysuits and large, transparent helmets.
Due to the limited screen space, Yan Xingli was unable to see much useful information.
Mother Qi's voice was very gentle, and her amber eyes were round and bright, just like Qi Youyu's.
"Sweetie, Mommy and Daddy are on an expedition on Earth and won't be home for a while."
"Is our little fish missing its mom and dad again?"
At this moment, a gentle and clear male voice interrupted, and Mr. Qi's face almost filled the entire screen:
"Honey, have you gone out? Where are we?"
Qi Youyu: "I'm on Earth."
The couple were taken aback, and then Qi's mother burst out laughing: "Did my darling build a little spaceship herself?"
"Yes, yes!" Qi Youyu was delighted that her parents had guessed the answer in a second. With a wave of her hand, a small spaceship appeared in the sky above the living room.
The child pointed proudly: "Look, it's called Little Fish, and I built it myself."
"..."
The young couple on the other side of the screen froze, and the moment they snapped out of their shock, their smiles vanished.
"Baby, are you really on Earth?" Mother Qi asked anxiously. "What happened to the video call this morning? How long have you been gone?"
Qi Youyu confessed everything in detail.
For the past two weeks, all video calls between the family of three have been made by Xiaohua using the AI Yuyu.
The AI-generated fish was so realistic that it even fooled scientist Qi's mother; its ability to deceive was astonishing.
Yan Xingli, who was listening from the side, couldn't help but clench his fists. These two little rascals really needed to be taught a lesson.
The young couple nearly fainted from anger when they learned the truth.
Xiao Hua apologized honestly: "Madam and sir, I'm sorry. You know I can't refuse Yu Yu's request. My duty is to protect Yu Yu and accompany her as she grows up healthy and happy."
Qi's mother pushed her husband's head away, leaned closer to the screen, and said anxiously, "Baby, quickly send us your coordinates, and your parents will pick you up right away."
Qi Youyu opened her mouth and gave a coordinate. The young couple opposite her paused slightly, their eyes meeting briefly in mid-air.
Mr. Qi spoke up: "Yu Bao, tell Daddy, did you go to see our ancestor?"
Yan Xingli's brows twitched violently, sensing that something was terribly wrong. He put down the cat and tried to slip away.
The child happily turned the camera around, and his figure with his butt sticking out was projected straight onto the screen.
"Mom and Dad, I'm at my uncle's house. My uncle is our ancestor."
The child ran over happily and grabbed Yan Xingli's pants, "Uncle, look, my mom and dad are on your head."
Yan Xingli looked up and his gaze met that of the young man and woman on the holographic screen.
His vision went black, and he asked... How should a 25-year-old ancestor greet a younger generation?
Let's get high right away?
Or, to say, "Hello, granddaughter/son."
It sounds weird no matter how you call it.
Yan Xingli remained silent, his face tense, as he brainstormed.
Mr. and Mrs. Qi were not at all shy; Mr. Qi, a direct descendant, immediately said:
"Ancestor, you are truly in the prime of your life."
"I am your fourth-generation grandson, my name is Yan Cheng, thank you for taking care of Yu Yu."
So Yu Yu is his fifth-generation grandson. Let's just treat this as a movie shoot. Yan Xingli forced a calm expression and spoke to the man on the screen who was probably a few years older than him:
"You're welcome, it's nothing."
Mother Qi: "Grandma, I am Yu Yu's mother. My name is Qi Fei Zhu. I'm so sorry that Yu Yu has caused you trouble."
Yan Xingli resembled a socially awkward homeroom teacher chatting with students' parents; although he had a lot to say, he remained polite and restrained.
"Aunt Qi, don't be nervous, Yu Yu is very obedient."
Qi Youyu put her hands on her hips and chimed in, "Yes, I am very obedient."
Their daughter had been eating and drinking at the old lady's place, and her face had become noticeably rounder, showing how well the old lady took care of her. Yan Cheng and his wife were relieved.
Just as the two were about to have another chat with their ancestor Yan Xingli, the ground beneath their feet suddenly trembled slightly, followed by a deep and long hum.
The sound was like muffled thunder coming from the depths of the earth, containing a penetrating power that could transcend time and space.
The four members of the family, grandfather, grandmother, and granddaughter, were all startled by the noise. Qi Youyu tilted her head and pressed her chubby ears against the computer.
"Dad, what's that sound?" The child's bright eyes were full of surprise.
The young couple exchanged glances for two seconds, then made a decision together. Yan Cheng smiled and said softly:
"Baby Fish, that's the sound of a dinosaur."
Yan Cheng's Qi Feizhu tacitly turned to the side, making way for a large area behind them, and the first thing that came into view was a vast swamp.
Not far away, a huge, mountain-like figure slowly emerged from the dense coniferous forest.
It was a Brachiosaurus that only existed in science fiction movies and museums. The setting sun cast its glow on its gray-brown skin as it leisurely ate the tender leaves at the top of the tree.
The sight of him leisurely munching on leaves reminded Yan Xingli of a giraffe.
“Yu Bao, this big guy is called Liang Long. He loves to eat plants and is the gentlest big guy in the dinosaur group,” Yan Cheng said.
Yan Xingli's pupils dilated in shock.
Dinosaurs! They were in the Jurassic World?!
Not only was he shocked by the news, but the child beside him was also taken aback.
Qi Youyu's mouth was slightly open. She thought of the dinosaurs in the children's picture book and whispered excitedly:
"Mom and Dad, so you went to visit the dinosaurs."
Yan Cheng smiled and nodded: "Yes."
Qi Feizhu is a national treasure-level spaceship expert from the planet Cang'ai, while Yan Cheng is a paleontologist.
In the Jurassic world, where giant beasts abound, many previously undocumented plants and animals can be found everywhere. Here, they will fill in all the gaps in their knowledge, and many historical mysteries will be answered during this expedition.
A child's face, like the weather in June.
Qi Youyu hugged her short arms and stared at the screen with her eyes wide open: "You guys didn't take me with you, you went by yourselves."
Yan Xingli silently added in his mind, "Exactly, is it right for someone to sneak off without their ancestors?"
Qi Feizhu deftly shifted the blame, "Yes, Mom originally wanted to take you, but your dad wouldn't allow it."
Yan Cheng: "..."
Qi Youyu started making a fuss: "I want to go, take me with you."
Yan Xingli: Staring at jpg.
Yan Cheng wanted to press his brow with his fingertips, but forgot he was wearing a helmet, so he changed his mind and started massaging his shoulders instead.
"Dad, does it hurt down there again?" the child asked.
Yan Cheng seized the opportunity to play the victim: "Yes, Dad has to dig in the dirt every day, and his shoulders are sore from all the work."
Qi Youyu immediately raised her hand, looking very eager: "I'll help you dig the soil, you go play."
Yan Cheng felt a lump in his throat after failing to fool anyone.
Qi Feizhu glanced at him, sighed, and put on a motherly smile, saying, "Sweetie, Mommy and Daddy have to go now. Let's talk later, okay?"
"Mom and Dad, are you going to steal dinosaur eggs?"
The Qi couple were startled.
"No, no."
"We didn't intend to steal!"
"That's a long way off."
Qi Youyu looked at him suspiciously: "You really didn't go to steal eggs?"
"Really, really."
Fishy, with her little belly sticking out, instructed, "Okay, then you all need to be good at the dinosaurs' house and don't scare them, okay?"
After hanging up the phone, the holographic screen disappeared, and the shocking scene just now seemed to be just Yan Xingli's illusion.
Yan Xingli clutched his pounding chest and turned to look at the bustling traffic and neon lights of the modern world.
After a while, he looked at the child's round back of the head: "Yuyu, are you going home?"
Yu Yu: "Mom and Dad are here to pick me up."
Yan Xingli: "When?"
Yu Yu rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment, then looked up at her uncle: "My parents' spaceship was built by the uncles and aunts at the aerospace institute. It's much faster than my little fish. It will probably arrive tomorrow."
Yan Xingli's lip line slowly straightened, and his expression was no longer as relaxed as usual.
"Uncle, I'll stay with you until you finish work."
"No need." Yan Xingli came back to his senses. "Going home is the priority. Uncle is an adult and can handle things on his own."
He squatted down and reached out to rub Yu Yu's head: "You shouldn't run around like that anymore. Even if you go out, you have to ask your parents for permission. You might not be so lucky as to run into me again. The outside world is very dangerous."
Qi Youyu grabbed Yan Xingli's hand: "Will you cry when I go home?"
"Like this." The child, who had learned this from somewhere, lowered his face, rubbed his eyes, and made a couple of fake cries.
"..." Yan Xingli replied without hesitation, "No..."
Feeling awkward, Qi Youyu pouted and said, "Uncle, how are you going to take care of the baby if you keep acting like this?"
Yan Xingli thought to himself, he doesn't even have a girlfriend right now, so how can he worry about the future?
The child put his hands in his pockets, sighed deeply, and muttered, "Looks like I'll have to help you take care of your baby from now on."
Yan Xingli burst out laughing: "This is nothing, and you're already worrying about nothing."
"You're still laughing." Yu Yu rolled her eyes at her uncle as if he were a naughty child, her tone full of helplessness, "Isn't it all for you, for my old lady, for your little baby?"
Yan Xingli opened his mouth halfway, then immediately closed it again.
ah.
So will he have a daughter in the future?
