CHAPTER 336: CHAPTER 114 BEGINNING OF PRE-SYSTEM (PART 1)_3

"You!" Hearing the undertone beneath Du Xixi’s words, both Ke Lian and Ke Xing laughed. Especially Ke Lian, who teasingly glanced at Du Xixi, then stretched out his finger to lightly scratch her perky nose, laughing, "Do you want to go upstairs and catch up on sleep? Last night, Yiyi and Er Er were making such a fuss; I feel like you haven’t slept well."

Ke Lian is a good husband and a good father. He doesn’t casually leave the two children to Du Xixi or Ke Xing, but instead takes every opportunity to help with the children. Even in the middle of the night, Ke Lian gets up to help Du Xixi soothe the kids.

But Ke Lian does have a job to manage, and recently, the Four Great Empires have been exerting military pressure on the Blue Star Empire. The Blue Star Empire Military Department, having not gone to war with anyone for many years, is naturally very excited, planning internally who knows how much. Anyway, Ke Lian has been much busier than a while ago.

Therefore, when it comes to late-night childcare, Du Xixi prefers to tire herself out rather than dragging Ke Lian, who has work the next day, with her.

Last night, Yiyi and Er Er didn’t sleep well. Just after Du Xixi had fallen asleep, as if on cue, the two kids directly started crying, startling Du Xixi into sitting up suddenly and rushing over to check on them.

Of course, Ke Lian followed her, but before he could start soothing the kids, Du Xixi stopped him, forcefully sending him back to the room to rest to avoid affecting his work the next day.

Now, seeing the slight dark circles under Du Xixi’s eyes, Ke Lian felt a pang of heartache and frustration. If he had known Du Xixi would be so tired, he should never have compromised and returned to bed last night, even if she scolded him endlessly!

"No need, I can rest here for a bit." Du Xixi didn’t mind; ever since having the kids, she hadn’t had a regular sleep schedule. Being woken up soon after falling asleep and then being unable to rest well all night was something Du Xixi had become accustomed to.

But although her complexion didn’t look good, thanks to her Purification Talent giving her a boost, her health was excellent. Even if she stayed up several nights in a row, the Purification Talent would back her up.

Hearing Du Xixi say this, Ke Lian quickly adjusted his position, lying flat as much as possible, and then watched Du Xixi blink, show a trace of drowsiness, and close her eyes.

Ke Xing lowered his voice, soothing the children, and Yiyi and Er Er sensed their mother was resting, so for a moment, the living room was silent, with only Du Xixi’s soft snoring occasionally heard.

The sunshine comfortably streamed into the yard outside, and birds built a nest between the large branches, with their clear songs drifting through the window into the living room.

The peace and quiet of life are just like this.

***

As time neared July, the two children were already almost eight months old. Able to walk and run, the two kids ran around everywhere. Er Er was better, at least willing to stay obediently in the villa. But Yiyi was different; without the Mechanical Soldiers following closely, everyone might eventually lose track of Yiyi.

Ke Xing’s aging bones were pitiful; clearly retired from the Military Department, yet he ran up and down every day with his two grandchildren, and his physical fitness was almost better than when he was in the Military Department.

The grandfather and grandchildren trio made a racket inside and outside the villa daily, with Du Xixi busy researching various recipes and occasionally live streaming to maintain her following while promoting food. Meanwhile, Miao Miao just read and read, day and night.

And because Miao Miao loved reading so much, when the knowledge in books was no longer enough for her, Du Xixi started considering finding a school for Miao Miao.

Although Miao Miao was still young, starting school more than ten years earlier than the average in the Star Era, Miao Miao was special, and treating her with a little extra care was okay. As long as Du Xixi could handle issues related to Miao Miao’s identity exposure, enrolling her in school wouldn’t be difficult.

However, arranging for Miao Miao to resolve the identity issues was already challenging enough.

Du Xixi wasn’t sure about people from other empires, but she had specifically learned about the quality of Blue Star Empire citizens. Young people raised in the Star Era were very receptive, but that was only when facing new civilizations or technological achievements.

If Miao Miao’s identity were exposed, these young people’s first reaction would definitely be curiosity—curiosity about Miao Miao’s true identity, why Miao Miao had cat ears and a tail, curiosity about everything related to Miao Miao. This might not be a good thing for Miao Miao.

After curiosity, they might accept, or they might reject, or even maliciously speculate about Miao Miao. "Different from us, their heart must be alien." A Cat Girl who looks slightly different from normal people wouldn’t be easily accepted.

Du Xixi felt a bit of a headache, but turning around, she saw Miao Miao’s lips curl up slightly, holding the book in front of her like a treasure. Even her beautiful amber cat eyes shone with an exceptionally captivating light.

Momentarily stunned, all her worries disappeared. She silently clenched her fist, having already formed a rather clear plan for Miao Miao’s future "study life!"
