Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

In the blink of an eye, ten minutes had passed quickly.

The intelligent control system emitted a crisp notification sound, drawing everyone's attention back to the incubation chamber.

The little figure inside the cabin had a tiny face, soft hair, and curled-up limbs, as if it were having a peaceful dream.

Ruan Mei pressed the control switch, and the culture chamber began to depressurize, emitting a slight hissing sound. The pale blue nutrient solution that filled the chamber was quickly emptied through the pipes.

As Lu Yao slowly descended to the bottom of the cabin along the waterline, her small body leaned against the cabin wall, her wet hair clinging to her neck, and tiny water droplets still clinging to her eyelashes.

Lu Ze rushed to the front of the cabin, the glass hatch slowly opened, and he carefully carried his daughter out of the cabin.

Ignoring the sticky residue on her body, he pulled her into his arms.

Feeling the heartbeat emanating from her small body.

Silver Wolf stood beside him, his gaze falling on Lu Yao in Lu Ze's arms, his eyes filled with a soft light. He unconsciously reached out his hand, then withdrew it.

"There's a shower room over there; you can help clean this little girl up. She'll wake up soon," the big black tower said, pointing to a hatch on the side of the laboratory.

"Thank you," Lu Ze said, carrying his daughter and striding towards the shower room.

Silver Wolf silently followed.

Xingye took a step to follow, but was stopped by Daheita as soon as he took half a step.

"Why are you going to join in the fun when other families are having a reunion?"

"That's my sister!"

Xing was held by one hand by her, while her other hand made a groping motion towards the shower room.

Not long after, the shower door reopened, and Lu Ze came out carrying his daughter.

Unlike before, Lu Yao was now wearing a brand new princess dress. Her hair was dried and tied into two small braids. She looked radiant and her little face was rosy.

She blinked her big eyes, curiously looking at the strangers she had never seen before, her gaze shifting back and forth between the Black Tower, Ruan Mei, and Xing.

Xing rushed to Lu Ze's side, then leaned close to Lu Yao and grinned foolishly at the little girl.

"Hehe, little sister, my little sister."

She couldn't help but reach out, wanting to take Lu Yao from Lu Ze's arms.

"Don't be so handsy."

Silver Wolf swiftly swatted Xing's hand away, not wanting his precious daughter to be held by this guy who had never held a child before. What if she fell?

"So love can disappear, Silver Wolf?" Hoshi looked at Silver Wolf with a resentful expression, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Silver Wolf ignored her, his attention was entirely on his daughter.

Seeing this, Xing stopped insisting and instead gave Lu Yao what she considered to be her most friendly smile.

"Little Lu Yao, call me 'sister' so I can hear it."

Startled by Xing's overly enthusiastic smile, Lu Yao shrank back into her father's arms, burying her face in Lu Ze's collar.

However, she soon realized that her parents were actually around, so there wasn't anything to be afraid of.

She mustered her courage and peeked out from Lu Ze's embrace, turning to look at Xing.

Xing thought she was about to call her "sister," so she leaned closer with anticipation.

As a result, Lu Yao tilted his head, looked her over carefully for a moment, and then asked.

How old are you?

Xing was taken aback, then blurted out.

"I am four years old."

Lu Yao thought about it seriously for a moment, then said in a solemn tone, "Then you are the younger sister. Yao Yao is six years old."

Xing froze on the spot.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

"No……"

A piercing scream echoed through the laboratory. Xing collapsed to her knees, her entire being seemingly devoid of soul, turning into a gray stone statue.

Snowflakes are falling, and the north wind is howling.
