Just as Zhan Xi was squatting in the yard with a gloomy look on his face, Ling Qi, who came out of the kitchen and was about to pick some vegetables from the vegetable garden, saw this scene.
He frowned: "The mecha hasn't been repaired yet?"
Zhan Xi also had a professional book on mecha repair next to him. He shook his head and said, "Our Ningzi's mecha is different from ordinary mechas. I've been tinkering with it for two days and still haven't fixed it."
"Go find Ningzi's mecha teacher."
Ling Qi gave him some advice: "Ningzi's mecha was modified by his teacher. I think his teacher should be able to repair it."
"also."
Zhan Xi couldn't handle it himself, so he packed up the pile of mecha fragments and said, "When I send Ningzai to school today, I'll go find his mecha teacher. By the way, for a mecha like Ningzai's... how much does it cost to repair it?"
Ling Qi thought for a moment and said, "Give more. The cost of repairing mechas is always very high."
Zhan Xi heard this and said "hmm".
Cole gave Ningzi from their family a lot of compensation, including compensation for the mecha, medical expenses, compensation for mental damage, etc.
This money is from the royal family.
Zhan Xi opened a separate account for the little cub. Money in this account can only be deposited but not withdrawn. The amount of money saved in this account is quite considerable now.
Zhan Xi prepared the money for his child to go to college in the future.
"Zhan Xi, go wake up Ningzi."
After picking vegetables in the small vegetable garden, Ling Qi urged Zhan Xi to call people: "My meal is almost ready, send him to kindergarten early today."
"OK."
Zhan Xi wiped his hands and went to the bedroom to call his son.
When he called Zai, Huo Lin called him in time: "Uncle Zhan, my father asked me to tell you that Ning Zai doesn't need to buy a new mecha here. There are mechas for sale on the Sixth Planet. When Ning Zai and I go there, I can help him see if there is a suitable one on the Sixth Planet."
Zhan Xi knew a little about the sixth planet, so he knew that the mechas on the sixth planet were of the highest quality. If he could buy a small mecha on the sixth planet, it would be better for Zi Zi to use.
"If you say so, I won't rush to buy him a new mecha."
Zhan Xi smiled and thanked the little prince.
After the two of them exchanged a few words, they hung up the phone. They were not the type to chat on the phone for long periods of time, so they could talk about things clearly without any unnecessary nonsense.
Unlike little babies who love to answer the phone, they can chat with people for half an hour and still feel unsatisfied.
Zhan Xi woke up the little cub who was lying in bed and wiped his face with a hot towel.
"The weather is getting colder, Ningzi, you should put on more thick clothes."
Zhan Xi wiped the little cub's face a few times with a hot towel and woke the dazed cub up.
When the little boy heard his father say that he needed to wear thicker clothes, he was not happy: "I don't like wearing thick clothes."
When the weather got cold before, his father would add more clothes to him. In the end, the baby turned into a fat ball! It was inconvenient for the baby to move around when he turned into a fat ball.
Zhan Xi ignored his protest and just handed him the toothbrush, letting him brush his teeth himself.
After tossing and turning in the room for a while, when Zhan Xi brought the baby out, Ling Qi had already prepared the meal.
The little boy looked at the food in front of him and then at Uncle Ling Qi who was busy at work, and was deeply moved.
Uncle Lingqi didn’t sleep well yesterday, so I had to cook for him so early today.
When he grows up, I must make sure Uncle Ling Qi enjoys a happy life!
After finishing breakfast, Zhan Xi sent the little cub to school. The familiar tricycle, the familiar kindergarten gate, and the familiar children.
The kid, carrying a schoolbag, kissed his father and ran inside quickly.
"Roy! Wait a minute, cub!"
Roy, who was walking in front, heard the voice and looked back. This look shocked him: "Ningzi! You're here!"
Two kids carrying small schoolbags hugged each other. Other kids who were rushing to school saw this and joined in.
After being separated from the children for a week, the little one now has a lot to say to them, and the children also have a lot to say to him.
A group of children walked into the classroom in a lively manner.
The teacher hadn't come yet, so the kids were free to move around and talk. Roy, who was the first to hug the little boy, asked, "Ning, Teacher Lily said you were injured. What happened?"
When Ningzai heard this question, he immediately bent down and rolled up his trouser legs. He pointed at his chubby legs and said seriously, "Zazi almost became a cripple."
After rolling up his trouser legs, he also lifted up the hem of his shirt, revealing his soft and round belly: "The baby's belly was also kicked and bruised. It hurts so much."
The children who were around him felt so distressed when they heard him talk about his injuries.
"Ningzi, you are so pitiful."
"Yes, yes. When my mother spanked me, she only spanked my buttocks. She said that spanking a child's buttocks won't hurt him, but you can't spank him anywhere else."
"Ningzi, who hit you?"
Ningzai sat on the stool and put his clothes down to cover his belly. He pouted and said, "It was the bad guys who beat me."
The children had never experienced anything as dangerous as what happened to Ningzai. They came over one by one to hug Ningzai, touch his little curly hair, and finally gave all the snacks in their schoolbags to Ningzai.
With the comfort of the children, Ningzai put down his trouser legs and finally had a smile on his face.
The kindergarten curriculum still made the baby distracted. When it came to the mecha class, Ningzai, who did not bring his rainbow mecha, was arranged by the teacher to watch from the side.
Teacher Rick saw the pile of mecha fragments sent by Zhan Xi in the morning. The mecha was damaged so badly that it was completely scrapped.
He couldn't fix it at all.
"Teacher, the cub doesn't have a little mecha anymore."
The little kid standing in front of the teacher said dejectedly, "How will I take the mecha class in the future?"
Rick patted his head and coaxed him: "It's okay, your father said that he would buy you a new mecha. I will find you a new mecha tonight, and you can wear it for a few days. When the new mecha is bought, you can change into the new one."
"Um!"
The teacher next door looked at the situation here, especially the little cub in front of Rick. He pursed his lips and turned his face away.
A while ago, he had criticized the little cub in front of Rick, saying that the little cub had no mental strength or something. If he could go back in time now, he would definitely go back and warn himself not to talk nonsense.
What's wrong with having no mental strength
The backer behind this cub is the imperial royal family!
The teacher next door is also an expert at eating gossip. This time, he ate all the gossip about the royal family very quickly.
After seeing the video released by His Majesty the Emperor, he discovered that the little cub, whom he had despised, was actually being held in the arms of His Majesty the Emperor and coaxed.
It was still the middle of the night, and he was shocked after seeing the video.
After turning his head away for a while, he still felt uneasy, so he simply walked over again: "Rick, here you go."
He stuffed Rick with a handful of chocolate.
Rick: “?”
Rick's eyelids twitched. "What do you want to do? I'm telling you, you're not the type I like."
The teacher next door: “?”
The teacher next door was so angry that she said, "Don't dream. All my blind dates are better than you. Please give these chocolates to Ningzai in your class."
He gave chocolates not to build relationships or gain favor, but purely to make up for his guilty conscience.
Rick saw his intention and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Now that they know that they can't afford to offend Ningzi, what have they been doing before
The classes in the kindergarten were going on as planned. Zhan Xi, who didn't have to take care of the baby during the day, originally wanted to take a day off and stay at home with Ling Qi.
But Ling Qi didn't let him hug him.
Ling Qi is actually a strong-willed person. He was able to show his vulnerability to the little cub last night, but he was unwilling to continue being vulnerable in front of the cub's father.
"Okay, I'll be working nearby today, so feel free to call me if you need me."
"Um."
After sending Zhan Xi away, Ling Qi changed his clothes and went out.
He did not go to find Ludwig, even though Ludwig had greater power and he had the convenience of going to the palace without being stopped, but he still bypassed the palace.
He knew in his heart that the reason he could enter and exit the palace and talk to the emperor of the empire was not because of his own strength, but because of the little cub.
When he went to plead with the emperor of the empire, he was wasting the favor of the little guy.
After bypassing the palace, Ling Qi took a taxi on the road. An hour later, he found an inconspicuous-looking residence. This was the residence of the imperial general Mans.
After knocking on the door, he walked in.
At this moment, there was still some time before Cole went to court. When he saw the man in front of him, he didn't waste any words and just asked directly: "Can you save him?"
Mance sat on a chair, his long silver hair tied up, and there was no trace of surprise on his cold and handsome face. He just asked coldly: "What did he use to threaten you?"
"My mother."
Ling Qi pursed his pale lips and whispered, "He said that only if he is saved, he will let my mother live."
When Mans heard this, his cold tone softened a little: "You should know that your mother is no longer with us. You shouldn't believe a word that man says."
"But what if?"
Ling Qi raised his eyes slightly, looking at the silver-haired man in front of him whom he had never been qualified to call his brother. He asked: "What if what he said this time is true, what if my mother is really still alive—"
"Mance, how do I bet?"
Ling Qi had never said such a weak word in front of Mans. When he was a child, Cole whipped him until his skin was torn and he was locked in a small dark room. Mans happened to open the door and saw him.
In that environment, Mance asked him, "Do you want to leave here?"
He shook his head and refused.
Later, Mance left and endured Cole's imprisonment and abuse until he became an adult, never seeking shelter from anyone.
Now, for the first time, he came to Mance for help.
Mans looked at Ling Qi with no expression on his face, but he was thinking in his heart, fortunately, Ling Qi's appearance did not resemble Cole since he was a child, otherwise, he really would not be able to see this face.
"If you want to ask me to do something, then you need to be sincere."
Mans leaned back slightly, his long, beautiful fingers clasping the edge of the chair. He said casually, "The cub you raised did a great job in this regard."
"You should learn the trick he used to ask Cesar."
When Mans finished speaking, Ling Qi's eyes widened slightly. He was a little suspicious whether he had heard it wrong.
Tricks like Ningzai...
Of course he had seen this scene before, and he had seen it many times. As long as the little cub called for brother softly, Xizel would have no resistance and secretly make milk powder for the little cub to drink.
He's been caught several times.
But the problem now is that Ningzi is only three years old, how old is he now? Asking him to learn to beg like the soft Ningzi is almost the same as killing him.
His Adam's apple rolled, and he wanted Mance to change the conditions.
But Mance refused to change.
Mance had always been of such a bad temper. He once teased a little cub without any pressure at all. Now, he had no sympathy or sympathy for the brother in front of him, who was at least his only and slightly pleasing brother in the world.
Time passed by bit by bit, and the two of them were in a stalemate. In the end, Ling Qi compromised. In front of his mother's life, he had no choice but to compromise.
"elder brother."
Ling Qi almost squeezed out the word from between his teeth. He couldn't imitate Ning Zai's soft baby voice, so he could only use his own tone to call the man who was sitting lazily in front of him.
"Help."
After he finished his pleading words, Mance in front of him raised his eyes and glanced at him, as if he didn't expect that he could actually scream out.
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
After a long while, Mans raised his lips and said, "Can't you do it too?"
Ling Qi clenched his fingertips tightly in his palm and said nothing.
Mans, who had been sitting lazily, finally stood up. He did not let Ling Qi follow him, but left the hall by himself. During the time he was away, Ling Qi stood there without even moving his feet.
I do not know how long it has been.
Mance walked back and said calmly, "Well, Cole's court session will be postponed. I will dig the truth out of him before his next court appearance."
Just like once when he had played with the cub, he would allow the cub to hold his arms and swing around.
Since Ling Qi could do what he casually asked for, he would not go back on his word.
Ling Qi said "hmm" to indicate his agreement.
In the next few days.
Ling Qi stayed at Mans's place during the day. There were two occasions when he failed to come back in time to cook, and the little one had to eat lunch made by his father at home.
"Dad, what is Uncle Lingqi busy with?"
The little boy was eating the rice cooked by his father at the dining table, and his appetite was obviously not as good as before. He bit the spoon and asked vaguely: "Zizi is going to take the exam, and the parents of other children have given their children eggs and fried dough sticks."
The custom of ancient Earth: a fried dough stick plus two eggs can help children get 100 points in the exam.
The little guy also wants to get 100 points.
After coming to Baiwu Star, Zhan Xi already knew his own cooking skills. He knew how to make egg fried dough sticks, but he felt that his was definitely not as delicious as Ling Qi's.
"Okay, I got it. When your uncle Lingqi comes back today, I'll tell him to make you some egg fried dough sticks. You can finish this meal first."
Zhan Xi said, his face seemed to be nonchalant as he asked: "Ningzi, how is the meal that Dad made today?"
He often watched Ling Qi while he was cooking.
The little boy was stumped by this question and bit the spoon nervously. His round black eyes kept blinking. Finally, he leaned over and gave his father a kiss: "Baby, Neng Daddy!"
Zhan Xi: “…”
Oh, I got it.
The little boy heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that his father stopped asking questions.
He finished his meal in big mouthfuls, then hurriedly took his small shovel and went to the vegetable garden in the yard with Pangpang to look for insects.
There are people selling chicks on the street, and the little guy really wants to raise one.
Dad said that chicks need to eat insects. If I want to raise some, I will be responsible for feeding them and shoveling chicken manure for them.
For the sake of the cute, furry little chicks, Zi Zi is not afraid of shoveling chicken manure and will also work hard to find insects for the chicks to eat!
Zhan Xi was clearing the table, glancing into the yard from time to time.
With the habit of playing right after putting down his bowl, no matter how many fried dough sticks and eggs he eats, he will never get 100 points on the test. He watched for a while and even went to urge him.
But the little kid was so obsessed with catching vegetable worms that he ignored his father's urging.
Zhan Xi saw this and simply ignored him.
Anyway, when the exam comes, he won’t be the one crying.
The day before the exam, Ling Qi and Zhan Xi agreed on what to eat for breakfast the next day. After they finished talking about breakfast, they were silent for a moment, and Zhan Xi finally spoke up and asked, "Ling Qi, do you still not trust me enough?"
It doesn’t matter that Ling Qi goes out every day these days, Zhan Xi doesn’t care about it.
What he cared about was that something had obviously happened to Ling Qi in the past few days, and it definitely didn't look like an easy thing.
But Ling Qi didn't tell him a word.
Zhan Xi's questioning made Ling Qi's expression change slightly. The latter raised his eyes coldly and asked back: "Do you really want to know what I'm doing? Didn't you tell me a few days ago that you would respect my privacy?"
Zhan Xi: “…”
Zhan Xi almost choked to death.
He couldn't respond to a single word. A few days ago, he had comforted Ling Qi by not asking or probing into his affairs. Now, within a few days, he was going back on his word.
The conversation between the two was not pleasant.
The atmosphere between them was tense, and no one knew what each of them was holding back on.
The little guy sitting on the bed seemed to be suddenly dull this time. He didn't pay attention to his father and Uncle Ling Qi, nor did he catch the atmosphere between his father and Uncle Ling Qi.
He was clutching the socks on his feet with his little hands, and his chubby face looked a little dull.
after awhile.
The little boy raised his head and said to Zhan Xi, "Dad, I have an exam tomorrow."
Zhan Xi pinched his chubby face and softened his tone: "Well, Dad knows. Didn't you tell Dad that you wanted to make progress this time?"
Cub: “…”
The baby's chubby face is confused.
Hi.
It’s too early, babe!
As the exam was approaching, the little boy began to get anxious. He felt that he still didn't know a lot of things. He might not be able to make any progress by the time he took the exam tomorrow.
Zhan Xi looked at the time and didn't let the kid stay up all night: "Ningzi, go to bed. You have an exam tomorrow, so you'd better get up early."
Under his father's forced coaxing to sleep, the little guy had to close his eyes.
But when it was late at night and all the sounds in the room stopped, the little cub, who had his eyes closed, suddenly rubbed his eyes and sat up.
He moved closer cautiously and looked at his father and Uncle Ling Qi.
After discovering that the two adults were sleeping with their eyes closed, the little kid sneaked in with a flashlight and crawled into bed.
There is a book he has hidden under the quilt!
The little boy held a flashlight in one hand and flipped through his Chinese textbook with the other. There were new words in the textbook that would be tested, and he hadn't memorized so many of them!
The rustling sound of flipping pages could be heard under the quilt. The little boy was reading the book seriously, demonstrating the meaning of "cramming at the last minute" to the fullest.
The light of the flashlight seeped outside through the quilt, and after a while, Zhan Xi opened his eyes.
Not only Zhan Xi woke up, but Ling Qi also woke up.
The two adults looked at each other, and finally, they decisively lifted the quilt of the little one.
The quilt was lifted, and the little kid inside was caught on the spot before he could react.
Zhan Xi looked at the caught kid with complicated eyes.
"Ningzi, what are you doing?"
Zhan Xi looked at his child, who was wrapped in a small quilt and holding a flashlight in his fat hands. He didn't know what to say: "Flashing a flashlight in the quilt in the middle of the night, do you want to blind your eyes?"
He took away the kid's flashlight and his Chinese textbook, saying, "You'll have an exam tomorrow. It's no use cramming now."
"Be obedient and go to bed now."
Zhan Xi confiscated the little guy’s equipment, then turned his head and glanced at Ling Qi.
Ling Qi understood and picked up the dumbfounded little kid: "Ning, you need to sleep well now. If you sleep well, you will do well on the test tomorrow."
The consolation from Dad and Uncle Lingqi didn't comfort the little one at all.
The little boy frowned, his eyes still looking at the Chinese textbook that his father had confiscated: "I haven't learned the new words yet. The teacher said there will be a test."
Ling Qi: “…”
Ling Qi held him in his arms and laid him down with him: "Don't be afraid. The more nervous you are, the more likely the teacher will test you on words you don't know. When you are no longer nervous, the teacher will test you on words you know."
Under Uncle Ling Qi's gentle coaxing, the little boy, who was not very good at staying up late, started to droop his eyelids after a few minutes.
A few minutes later, the little guy was leaning against Uncle Ling Qi's chest and was snoring in his sleep.
Zhan Xi looked at the little cub who was still struggling in the middle of the night and found it funny: "He was usually careless in class, but now that he has an exam, he is so anxious."
The little boy who was cramming for an exam was very superstitious. The next day, he ate a double portion of eggs and fried dough sticks before rubbing his little belly and going to school contentedly.
"Dad, I will work hard to get you 100 points!"
"Okay, Dad will wait for good news from the cub."
Zhan Xi sent the cub to take the exam, and when he came back, Ling Qi was gone from home again.
at the same time.
Ling Qi, who had already arrived at Mans' place, was listening to Mans say to him: "You don't need to come again, I have to go out."
Mans's job is not an idle one, he can't just sit around at home doing nothing every day.
When Ling Qi heard that he was leaving, his expression suddenly froze: "Where are you going?"
"On official business."
Mans said calmly, and after he finished speaking, he added casually: "Don't worry, I will explain your mother's affairs to you."
"good."
Compared to Cole, Ling Qi felt that Mance's words were more credible.
After leaving Mans, Ling Qi felt relieved at the thought that he wouldn't have to come here again in the next few days.
The days just passed one by one.
In kindergarten, the little boy took exams in all his subjects. Under the arrangement of Mr. Rick, the little boy's mecha exam was temporarily replaced by his usual scores.
On the day when the little guy finished all his exams and the test results were about to come out, Ludwig in the palace also arranged for César to go to the sixth planet.
Xizel and Ningzi are going together. In addition to Xizel's guards, there is also a person who can protect their safety.
Mance.
"Mance is using the vacation time he's saved up over the years to go on vacation to Planet Six."
Ludwig said to his son in front of him, "It's just right that you and Ningzi can go with him."
With Mans around, César's trip is undoubtedly more secure.
"Xizel, Planet Six is not a place that welcomes guests warmly. When you go there with Ningzi, you must keep a low profile as much as possible."
After Ludwig gave his instructions, he also reminded him: "Especially Ningzi, keep a close eye on him and don't let him get into trouble."
"I know, father."
Ludwig's arrangement for his son did not cause any trouble for the stingy emperor of the sixth planet.
He even sent a message in advance to tell the emperor of the sixth planet that his children were just going shopping and did not need to stay in the palace or receive any reception.
This message received a response from the Emperor of the Sixth Planet.
The other party expressed respect for their arrangements and said that if His Highness Xizel encountered any trouble on the Sixth Planet, he could communicate with him at any time.
The fact that the plastic friendship between the two emperors can be maintained to this level of dialogue is already acceptable.
After Ludwig finished giving all his instructions, he informed his son: "The departure time is six o'clock. Zhan Xi has packed Ningzi's things. You can set off when Ningzi comes back from school."
"You have three days to complete what you need to do. Cesar, I hope you can manage your time well."
"Father, I will take good care of it."
Huo Lin stayed in the study. After listening to his father's words, he read a lot of books about the sixth planet.
The intelligent technology and machinery of the sixth planet are highly developed, but the relationships between people are very cold.
The International Star Newspaper conducted a special study on the sixth planet. After two years of observation and research, the scholars who conducted the study believed that the people of the sixth planet were too dependent on smart technology and rarely socialized with others. The reduction in social interaction also means a reduction in emotional communication.
If this goes on for a long time, they will naturally become "indifferent".
After reading the information about the sixth planet, Huo Lin looked at the ruler of the sixth planet.
Good looking.
Very stingy.
There are only these two keywords, and they don’t seem to go together.
Huo Lin thought about what his father said. He and Ningzai didn't need to go to the palace, so there was actually no need for them to read this information.
He put the documents down, stayed in the study for a while, then got up and returned to his bedroom.
He was going to take Ningzai out with him. He didn't know if it was a psychological illusion, but he always felt that the things he brought were not complete enough.
It was evening.
Zhan Xi came to the palace with his schoolbag in one hand and the cub in the other.
The little cub's suitcase had been delivered in advance, and this time, Zhan Xi came to send the little cub off.
"What happened to Ningzi?"
Seeing the little kid being led in, Ivy asked in confusion, "Why do I see his eyes are red? Did he have a fight in the kindergarten?"
"no."
Zhan Xilue explained helplessly: "The results are out."
They all knew that the little one had an exam two days ago. The little one was still in Haikou at the time, saying that he wanted to get 100 points!
As a result, when the results came out today, the little brat who usually didn't study hard but instead crammed at the last minute was exposed and did even worse than last time.
The little boy thought about what he had said before, and then looked at the test paper with so many red crosses on it, and felt sad and ashamed.
When his father took him away, he was clutching the test paper, so sad that he didn't want to say a word.
soon.
Huo Lin and Ludwig also saw the test paper. The father and son, one big and one small, were both silent when they saw the little boy's results.
After a long while, Huo Lin finally calmed down and said, "It's okay. There is still one final exam. If we study hard this time, we will definitely do well in the final exam."
The little cub sniffed, clenched his chubby little fists, and promised his brother: "Next time, cub, if you don't make progress next time, I will punish you by not giving you meat for a week!"
Such a punishment is too severe for a little kid who loves meat and has to eat meat every day!
The little cub with the guarantee certificate hugged his brother's legs and asked his brother to take him away.
The little kid who has lost face now doesn’t want to see the adults!
Huo Lin saw this scene and carried him onto the spaceship.
The spacecraft flew all the way towards the sixth planet.
General Mance had a different departure time from them, so he was not on their spaceship at the moment. They had to reach the sixth planet before they could reunite with General Mance.
As the spaceship was flying along, the emperor, who was far away in the palace of the sixth planet, suddenly stopped for no reason.
He frowned and pressed it towards his heart.
He didn't know what was going on, but he suddenly felt a little panic in his heart, and a hint of ominous foreboding.
His intuition has always been accurate, but he couldn't figure out what caused this ominous omen.
If you can't think of it, you can only wait.
On the spaceship that came over, the little boy sat on a stool. Even after getting on the spaceship, he still had to listen to his brother explaining the test paper to him.
"Ningzi, listen to the class carefully. You can rest when you get there."
Huo Lin said that he wanted to make it easy for the cub to learn, but in fact he also paid close attention to the cub's learning. He found a blackboard on the spaceship and personally became a teacher for the cub.
The little boy bit the tip of his pen and looked at the test paper. He looked at it for a long time and murmured, "I really want to be illiterate."
If you are illiterate, you don’t need to study.
