San Zong was the first to shout, "Young Lord is back!"
Then he saw Small Dog Si Xi and exclaimed, "Si Xi? Is that Si Xi?! How did you grow so big all of a sudden!"
Everyone's attention immediately turned.
Si Xi tilted his head, looking at everyone as if he didn't understand why they were making such a fuss.
Xia Chujian picked him up and said with a smile, "Si Xi was probably too happy to see me back and couldn't control himself, so he grew up."
"Right? Small Si Xi?" Xia Chujian nuzzled his still fluffy little head.
Si Xi "Woof, woof," barked softly, his little legs kicking with joy.
Such a drastic change would have frightened most families out of their wits, sending the Small Dog to the hospital or a research institute...
But the Xia Family only showed surprise, without any excessive fuss.
Xia Yuanfang said with a smile, "Chujian, why are you back so suddenly? I was just about to schedule another video call with you."
Aunt Chen followed up with concern, "Did the training end early? Or are you on vacation?"
Xia Chujian was about to speak when she suddenly heard Wu Fu's voice from inside the house, "Ahhh! Wu Fu wants to go out! Wu Fu wants to go out!"
San Zong slapped his forehead, regretting, "Oh no! Everyone was too excited and forgot about Wu Fu!"
He quickly turned and ran back to the dining room.
Xia Chujian said, "It's okay, let's all go inside. Where were you just now?"
Xia Yuanfang said, "We just finished breakfast, and Wu Fu was still in the Children's High-Back Chair..."
Xia Chujian understood instantly.
That Children's High-Back Chair had a seat belt, and a child couldn't climb in or out on their own.
They walked back to the dining room together, where San Zong had already taken Wu Fu out of the Children's High-Back Chair.
But as soon as Wu Fu saw Xia Chujian enter, he huffed indignantly, turning his head away from her with a look of grievance.
Xia Chujian stroked Small Si Xi's head and put him on the ground.
Then she walked to San Zong, reached out to Wu Fu, and said, "Wu Fu, Sister is back. Don't you want to cuddle with Sister?"
Wu Fu's little face was chubby, and now, because he was angry, his cheeks were puffed out like two red apples, extremely adorable.
Xia Chujian couldn't resist, and despite Wu Fu's small struggles, she took him from San Zong's arms and "forcibly" cuddled his chubby little face.
Wu Fu immediately burst into tears of joy, reaching out his little chubby hands to hug Xia Chujian's neck, pursing his lips and giggling.
Xia Chujian sat down with him in her arms and said to Xia Yuanfang, "Aunt, is there anything else to eat? I miss Aunt's cooking so much!"
Xia Yuanfang said, "I'll make you some wontons, Fish Wonton, made with Ying Fish meat."
"Okay, okay!" Xia Chujian clapped her hands, holding Wu Fu's little hand.
Si Xi obediently squatted at Xia Chujian's feet, listening to her talk to Aunt Chen, Zhu Yingying, and San Zong.
Zhu Yingying was very curious about the content of Xia Chujian's training.
Xia Chujian picked out some interesting things she could talk about and recounted them.
She even gossiped about the Nobles like Ji Nabi picking on Lin Xiaoxiao.
Everyone was surprised and amazed, making Xia Chujian very proud of her "storytelling" ability.
Xia Yuanfang finished making the wontons and placed them in front of her.
The whole family watched her eat the wontons, and even the youngest Wu Fu didn't ask for another serving.
Xia Chujian hadn't eaten Xia Yuanfang's cooking in a while.
Once she started eating, she couldn't stop, and she drank every last drop of the wonton soup.
Aunt Chen teased, "Chujian, is the Cafeteria at your base that bad?"
Xia Chujian said, "It's not that it's bad, it's just that it's so much worse compared to what Aunt makes..."
Everyone laughed together, the atmosphere warm and harmonious.
Xia Chujian then greeted each family member one by one.
"Aunt Chen, have you been to the Exotic Beast Forest recently? How is it there?"
"Yingying, did you go hunting in the Exotic Beast Forest? Did you find any new Wild Rhinoceros Pigs?"
"San Zong, you seem to have gotten a lot fairer. Have you been using sunscreen when you're farming lately?"
"Si Xi, you've suddenly grown up, and I'm very curious. Is it really because you were too excited to see me?"
"Wu Fu, you've gotten fat again. Your sister can barely hold you in her arms!"
"Liu Shun, which Star Network Serials have you been following recently?"
Chirping and chattering, she alone was enough for the entire dining room, a one-woman show, comparable to a bustling farmers market.
But the family all seemed to be enjoying it.
Without Xia Chujian, the house was too quiet. Even Wu Fu and Si Xi were mostly quietly causing mischief.
Aunt Chen and Zhu Yingying usually only talked more when they returned to their rooms.
Xia Yuanfang left early and returned late to do experiments.
San Zong also went to work on time every day and went to bed before nine o'clock at night.
Now that Xia Chujian was back, everyone suddenly realized that this was how a family should be together.
So everyone began to share what had happened to them recently.
Aunt Chen said, "I've been to the Exotic Beast Forest twice to help Xia Researcher find some medicinal herbs. I haven't paid attention to the movements of the beasts there."
Zhu Yingying also said, "I went once to scout the way. I'm waiting for you to come back, Chujian, so we can go hunting together!"
San Zong stammered, not knowing what he was saying, and Xia Chujian didn't hear him clearly.
However, Xia Chujian took out the special permit that Huo Yushen had obtained for him and handed it to San Zong, saying, "San Zong, this is for you. You don't have to hide anymore."
She also said, "I don't regard you as a slave, but this special permit can only be like this. San Zong, believe me, I will definitely help you get rid of your Humanoids slave status in the future."
San Zong was stunned. After a long while, he suddenly knelt down to Xia Chujian with a thud, kowtowing and saying, "Thank you, Young Lord! Thank you, Young Lord! San Zong is willing to be a slave to Young Lord! San Zong is willing!"
Xia Chujian sighed and helped him up, saying, "San Zong, I understand your feelings. I treat you as family. This special permit, for me, is just a temporary legal document that allows you to legally stay in my home. When there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely find a way to change your status."
San Zong wiped away tears of gratitude.
Xia Chujian patted San Zong's shoulder and then looked at Wu Fu.
Wu Fu, looking adorable, fiddled with his fingers and said, "When Sister wasn't home, Wu Fu missed Sister and wanted to grow up quickly to find Sister..."
Xia Chujian tapped his slightly upturned little nose: "So you ate a little too much, right?"
Wu Fu smiled so wide that his eyes disappeared.
Si Xi raised his head and barked twice, gently placing his little head at Xia Chujian's feet.
Liu Shun said cheerfully, "Master, Liu Shun hasn't been reading CEO Romance Novels recently. But Liu Shun has found several good Star Network Serials. According to Liu Shun's Big Data Analysis, they are the type that Master likes. Liu Shun will send you the links, okay?"
It actually remembered that she didn't allow it to read CEO Romance Novels.
Xia Chujian: "..."
How did it even do Big Data Analysis of her reading habits?
She was very eclectic. She read great female lead power-up novels, and she also read little spoiled wife causing trouble novels...
Although the latter made her very ashamed, she usually didn't tell anyone.
But with Liu Shun doing this, her little secret couldn't be kept...
Could a person not have any privacy?
Xia Chujian immediately glared at Liu Shun: "Liu Shun, the Star Network Serials I read are not necessarily the type I like. I think your Big Data Analysis is very unreliable."
"Ah? The Star Network Serials that Master reads are not the type that Master likes? Then what is the type that Master likes?" Liu Shun was confused, and the logic calculation components in its chip were running so fast that they were almost smoking.
Xia Chujian said triumphantly: "...Guess!"
Screw you, guess! Liu Shun's eye display flashed a red wave, then it lay flat.
"Not guessing."
A robot's logic is one is one, two is two, there's no 'a white horse is not a horse' kind of annoying thing that can burn out its logic chip!
Xia Chujian had a good chat with her family, and immediately felt refreshed and her spirit greatly comforted. She felt she could go back to the base and argue with people for three hundred rounds.
She took out the Cangge Star Specialty Fragrant Fruit Chestnut she had brought back to share with everyone, and then gave Mei Jiangli's Autographed Napkin to Liu Shun.
Liu Shun didn't understand why its owner gave it this thing at all, but it still cherished it and put it in a small Storage Room on its chest.
Usually, it kept small snacks, small toys, and other things to coax children in there.
Xia Chujian's cheerful mood lasted from morning until evening. When she returned to her bedroom and was about to sleep, she received an emergency communication from her roommates.
[Mao Yonggui]: Chujian, come back quickly! The base is telling us to return to Kanli Star immediately!
[Chu Qingjuan]: Chujian! This training is cancelled! Everyone's scores have been cancelled! Including our four scores! The base is telling us to return to Kanli Star immediately!
[Sang Yadi]: Chujian, other trainees encountered Magnetic Field Storms and Supernova Energy Bursts in the Asteroid Belt and sent out withdrawal signals one after another. The Interstellar Airships from the base went to pick them up, but they all disappeared. Now all parties are preparing for rescue. The base is worried about our safety and will send an Interstellar Spaceship to pick us up back to Kanli Star. The time is one hour from now, come back as soon as possible!
Xia Chujian sat up in bed at once.
She had known about these situations for a long time, and even planned to participate in the Military's search and rescue operation on Monday.
Seeing these messages from her roommates, she was a little nervous, worried about some changes she didn't know about.
Therefore, she directly sent a message to Meng Guanghui's Quantum Optical Brain number.
She knew that Huo Yushen was holding Meng Guanghui's Quantum Optical Brain now, so she directly used Huo Yushen's title.
[Xia Chujian]: Marshal Huo, we have an emergency message from the base, asking us to return to Kanli Star directly. But I still want to participate in the Military's search and rescue operation here on Cangge Star on Monday!
Three seconds later, Huo Yushen replied.
[Meng Guanghui]: Don't worry, I'll inquire about the situation.
Although Huo Yushen told her not to worry, how could Xia Chujian not be anxious?
She got out of bed, took off her pajamas, and began to re-dress.
...
The second update is here.
It's the beginning of the month, please give me Moon Tickets!
There will be a new update at 0:05 tonight.
