CHAPTER 417: CHAPTER 141 OFFICIALLY STARTING THE SYSTEM (PART 1)_3

Although this stone bracelet is quite valuable, its size is perfect for a baby’s wrist. It seems Miao Miao mentioned this point to the Iron-eating Beast when she made the request. The thumb-sized stone hanging on the child’s chubby wrist won’t cause any inconvenience.

After Miao Miao gave her gift, it was Du Xixi’s turn. Two large boxes of snacks were placed on the table by 3533. Mo Ying couldn’t wait to open one of them and was thrilled to find it full of packaged dried fruits and jerky, so she hugged Du Xixi excitedly.

"Xixi, I simply love you to death!" Mo Ying had tasted similar snacks at the Ke Family before and would often sneak some home, but she couldn’t take much, so she always craved more.

Now that she’s pregnant, Du Xixi sent over so much, Mo Ying was overjoyed!

"Loosen up a bit!" Mo Ying hugged Du Xixi tightly. Although she didn’t have much of a baby bump yet, being cautious was necessary. "I didn’t know what you like to eat now, so I picked a variety. You can try them all, and tell me what you love. It’s easy to make at home, and I can whip up plenty for you."

Mo Ying giggled foolishly, nodded, and couldn’t wait to grab a pack of dried mango. After tearing it open and taking a bite, she immediately hummed in satisfaction.

The dried fruits were made without any additives; Du Xixi hadn’t even added simple sugar, relying solely on the natural flavor of the fruit. So, these dried mango slices were tangy and sweet, providing more chewiness than fresh mangoes.

Mo Ying kept eating one piece after another without stopping.

"Madam, thank you." While enjoying the delicious dried mango, Ye Wenting quietly watched and suddenly thought of something. She thanked Du Xixi, who was smiling nearby.

It’s unclear whether the gratitude was for today’s snacks or for Du Xixi rushing over with Ke Lian yesterday to accompany Mo Ying.

Du Xixi and Ye Wenting’s interactions all stemmed from Mo Ying. She hadn’t spoken much with Ye Wenting before. Glancing at Ye Wenting lightly, she just smiled and said, "Sister Mo Ying and I are like real sisters, no need for formalities."

Because they had a sisterly bond, there was no need to formally thank each other for the snacks today or the companionship yesterday.

The smile in Ye Wenting’s eyes deepened, and she said nothing more, just patted Mo Ying’s hair and lovingly watched her eat the dried fruit. Seeing Mo Ying eating happily, her cheeks bulging, the smile on his lips never faded.

After Mo Ying got pregnant, Du Xixi’s vacation became increasingly interesting. Besides live-streaming for her fans and audience every day, she spent most of her time discussing various pregnancy precautions with Mo Ying.

Sometimes it was through remote video calls, other times she would rush to Mo Ying’s house. For a while, not only was Ye Wenting feeling neglected by Mo Ying, but even Ke Lian, who could only return home every evening, felt like his wife’s heart was at Mo Ying’s even when her body was at the Ke’s house.

However, these leisurely days for Du Xixi quickly ended. By September 10th, the seventh day after the interstellar examination, Blue Star University informed Du Xixi and several other professors from the Food Department that they needed to be ready to return to school at any time.

And not only did Du Xixi, as a professor, receive the notice to return, but Miao Miao also received notification from Lin You—Miao Miao had already passed the special selection admission to Blue Star University and would officially become a student of political economics at Blue Star University after the semester began.

On September 10th, the admission lists for different departments at Blue Star University were announced, including the list for specially admitted students.

From September 11th to September 13th, the admission letters from Blue Star University were sent all over the All-Star regions.

From September 14th to September 15th, students from all over All-Star were entering the university and preparing for military training.

Du Xixi and Miao Miao headed to Blue Star University together on the morning of September 14th. Du Xixi was ready to welcome students from the Food Department, while Miao Miao was about to embrace her university life, which would last for years or even decades.

They set off quite early, even before dawn, but when they arrived at the gates of Blue Star University, hovercars were already lined up one after another, with people occasionally walking between the cars.

Du Xixi’s hovercar wasn’t a luxury brand vehicle, chosen for its low profile, but couldn’t avoid being discreet with mechanical soldiers guarding them, clearing the way all along the journey, making any attempt at low profile impossible.

However, being high-profile also had its advantages. Whether people guessed the owner of the hovercar was Du Xixi or the mechanical soldiers’ presence was too imposing, the congested hovercars started to clear out gradually, allowing the hovercar carrying Du Xixi and Miao Miao to smoothly reach the gates of Blue Star University.

"Miss, I’ll get off first, and you head straight to the Food Department!" Professors at Blue Star University were allowed to drive into the campus and each had an assigned parking spot. That’s why Miao Miao said this, not wanting to trouble Du Xixi.

"Everyone else has their parents dropping them off. How could our Miao Miao not have someone with her?" Du Xixi shook her head, and as the hovercar stopped at the school gate, she got off together with Miao Miao.
