Zerg: The female warrior's male master is acting strangely!
Chapter 21 Going Out
A few days later.
The beast tides on the border continued to erupt one after another, and to avoid being disturbed, Heroyen could only focus all his attention on the ever-changing battlefield.
He silenced his personal computer, only glancing at the brief reports sent by Nimon late at night.
Nimon told him: Yiyi seems fine; he hasn't heard her crying for the past few nights, and Yulis doesn't seem to have had another attack...
When Herroyne saw these messages, the weight on his heart finally eased a little.
But he knew that he could never truly put his mind at ease until he saw his baby in person.
Life in the villa was a completely different story.
Wenshu spent several days at home with his son, playing with him building blocks, watching cartoons, and sunbathing in the yard...
Heroy's laughter grew louder each day, and her tail swished more and more enthusiastically; the insect itself visibly became more cheerful.
However, Wenshu noticed a detail: the baby only wore a few clothes over and over again, and the fabric was already somewhat faded from washing.
That morning, when Wenshu was changing the baby's clothes, he picked up the little sweatshirt and stared repeatedly at the frayed edges of the cuffs. He unconsciously muttered a complaint:
"There aren't even cell phones here. I wonder if Yulis left any money behind..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the silver-gray 004 in the corner—the robot bug in charge of housekeeping—suddenly emitted a crisp beep, its mechanical voice ringing out flatly:
"A question about the master insect has been detected. 004 will answer for you: The master insect is extremely wealthy."
"If the main insect needs to go out to make purchases, 004 can retrieve your bank card for you."
Manjushri turned his head sharply, his eyes lighting up: "We need it! We desperately need it! Quick, bring 004 here!"
He didn't know where the original owner's cards and money were, but since 004 had given him a heads-up, he figured he might as well use it.
Besides, he just wanted to get some money to buy his son some decent clothes; he wasn't going to do anything shameful.
Upon receiving the instruction, 004 nimbly turned its round body to the cabinet next to the wardrobe, and its mechanical arm reached out to precisely open the drawer, taking out several silver-gray cards from inside.
Yulis had almost all his property and various identification documents carelessly left in that drawer.
After all, in this society, no one dares to touch the male insect's things casually. In addition, Yulis himself was well-off and didn't care much about money, so he just left them scattered around.
004 presents the three cards to Manjushri.
Manjushri picked it up, looked at it over and over several times, and suddenly felt somewhat helpless.
Every card looks almost identical, and you can't tell how much money is on them with the naked eye...
He could only tentatively ask, "004, can you detect how much money is in these cards?"
"Can."
004's screen flickered, and a robotic arm extended, gesturing for him to place the card on it.
Manjushri placed the cards one by one on the sensor area of card 004. After scanning for one second, the screen of card 004 displayed a clear balance.
The first bill was for 30 million, the second for 10 million, and the third for 60 million.
Manjushri's eyes widened in disbelief. Good heavens, so many zeros! The three cards together are worth almost a hundred million!
Why worry about not having money to buy clothes for the baby?
They could probably buy the entire children's clothing store!
However, he really didn't expect that Yulis would be so rich.
Manjushri sighed for a moment, then casually took the card with 60 million and put it in his pocket. He told 004 to put the other two cards back in their original places, and then turned around and went downstairs to find Zai Zai.
"Dragon father!"
He had just stepped out of his room when Heroiyi's voice came from the stairwell, crisp and bright, with a sticky, dependent quality.
When Wenshu looked down, he saw that the little one was standing at the bottom of the stairs, hugging a small plush toy and looking up at him. His big eyes were sparkling, and his tail was wagging behind him like a husky.
"Here they come!" Manjushri strode down, and Heroiyi immediately came running up to him.
His little paws tugged at his father's clothes, and he sweetly called out again, "Father."
Looking at the baby's adorable little face and hearing the soft "father" from the baby, Manjushri felt a warm glow in his heart.
He looked down at the shirt his son was wearing, which was "washed until the collar was a little loose," and his desire to buy his son new clothes grew even stronger.
He bent down and picked up Heroie, saying as he walked forward, "Iroie, how about your father takes you out to buy clothes?"
Holoiyi was stunned, nestled obediently in her father's arms, and remained silent for a moment.
Seeing his silence and noticing the child's expression, Manjushri asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Doesn't Yi Yi want to wear her new clothes?"
"I want to," Heroie shook her head quickly, but her mouth opened and closed again, her little brows furrowing slightly, "But Father, I..."
His clothes have always been bought by his female father, but now that his male father says he wants to buy him clothes, he doesn't know how to respond.
What if he buys too much and his father thinks he's greedy?
What if he buys too little and his father thinks he's picky?
It seems like no matter which option I choose, it's wrong.
Moreover, what if the father was just saying it casually?
What if the father finds it too troublesome once they get to the store?
Countless chaotic thoughts flashed through Heroy's mind, and her little brows furrowed more and more tightly.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Manjushri roughly understood what was going on.
He didn't press further, but instead phrased it differently, his tone carrying a hint of feigned disappointment and grievance: "What's wrong with Yi Yi? Does she not want to wear the clothes her father bought?"
"No!"
Upon hearing this, Holoiyi became so anxious that her tail stood on end. "No, Father! I just... I just think it's too much trouble for Father..."
He had a lot of fun with his father these past few days, so much so that he was even a little scared—afraid that any 'new changes' would shatter everything.
He cherishes his present days, like guarding a small lamp that has been painstakingly lit, fearing that a slight breeze might blow it out.
Seeing his anxious and uncertain expression, Manjushri felt both tender and sad.
He didn't say anything more, but simply lifted the little one up a bit so he could sit more steadily on his arm, and then strode towards the door: "Isn't that good? Let's go, Daddy Xiong is taking Yi Yi to buy new clothes."
"Mmm..." Holoi nodded blankly, her little paws unconsciously gripping her father's collar.
By the time he realized what was happening, the insect had already been carried into a small starship by his father.
The interior of the starship was spacious, and the seats were as soft as marshmallows. Heroi sat on his father's lap, watching the scenery rushing past the window, and only then did he belatedly realize that his father had really brought him out.
As Manjushri sat in the driver's seat, looking at the dense array of buttons and instrument panel in front of him, he felt a chill run down his spine.
He has absolutely no idea how to drive this thing.
Fortunately, he spent a few days at home studying the robotic insects and unexpectedly gained some understanding of this insectoid world.
The insects here mainly rely on starships to get around, and almost all starships on the market have an autopilot mode. He only needs to say "Activate autopilot mode" to the main control area, and the starship will run automatically.
The starship took off smoothly and headed towards the city not far away.
Holoiyi lay on the porthole, watching the houses below grow smaller and smaller, her tail swaying gently behind her.
He secretly glanced back at his father's profile.
Sunlight streamed through the porthole, landing perfectly on the father's gentle brow bone and nose bridge—a truly beautiful sight.
Heroie quietly turned her head back, a small, barely concealed smile curving her lips.
Before setting off, his worries were like a fishbone stuck in his throat;
His happiness after setting off was genuine!
