Chapter 2455: Chapter 2358: Running Away from Home Again
With the escort of Zhang Xiaomei and her eager team of researchers, Huo Sining brought a box of silkworm samples back to the Magic Capital.
This trip lasted more than half a month, and upon returning to the Lakeside Villa, seeing her chubby daughter, Huo Sining was surprised to discover that the little one had already learned to roll over!
Huo Sining was quite shocked. The little one was not even five months old and already could roll over. Isn’t that amazing?
Like discovering a new toy, Huo Sining kept having the little one lie on the bed, coaxing her to roll over again while feeling a bit sour at heart. She had been away so long that she didn’t even know her daughter could roll over now. What a neglectful mom she was.
The little girl, Yuanyuan, had quite a temper. Although she was initially excited to smell her mom’s familiar scent when Huo Sining returned, she soon got upset from the constant encouragement to roll over, even the fragrant Spiritual Energy scent on Huo Sining couldn’t pacify her.
The little one turned her head away, pouting and giving Huo Sining the back of her head with disdain.
Huo Sining felt embarrassed, while Gu Xu couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
Perhaps because she had been spending more time with her dad recently, the little one got closer to her father. Hearing Gu Xu’s laugh, student Gu Yuanyuan’s eyes widened in all directions, eagerly gazing toward where Gu Xu was, even trying to push away Huo Sining to crawl over to him, obviously wanting to be hugged by her dad.
Huo Sining found this amusing and said with a smile:
"You little heartless thing, back then it was your mother, I, who painstakingly carried you. When you were born, your father didn’t even know where he was. It’s only been a few days, and you’ve already switched sides?"
Feeling both sour and bitter, Huo Sining pretended to be angry and gave the little one’s butt a few pats.
Seeing this, Yue Shuwen couldn’t help herself and unreservedly poured cold water:
"Hehe, let me give you a heads up, this daughter was her dad’s little lover in her past life. No matter how well you take care of her, she’ll ultimately be close with her dad. No matter what, you’ll always be on the sidelines!"
Huo Sining twitched her lips, turning her head to look at student Gu Yuanyuan, who was in Gu Xu’s arms trying to plant a slobbery kiss on her dad’s face. A deep sense of helplessness welled up inside her.
She couldn’t help but think that the situation Yue Shuwen described might very well occur with this student Gu Yuanyuan in the family.
Perhaps sensing her mom’s jealousy, student Gu Miaomiao came over considerately, rubbing her round, egg-shaped head against Huo Sining’s cheek in an attempt to comfort her.
Huo Sining’s heart warmed up, and she couldn’t help but hug the little chubby tightly, but then sighed heavily with some disappointment:
"Son, when are you going to hatch? Always hiding inside an egg, don’t you feel stifled? I find it too fat to hold. It can’t be that by the time your sister grows up, you’ll still be an egg, right? Who will be the older one then? I think maybe we should let Yuanyuan be the big sister in the future."
This seemed to hit a sore spot for the little guy. He suddenly leapt out of Huo Sining’s arms, let out a protesting cry, bounced on the ground a few times, and quickly disappeared.
Huo Sining was somewhat baffled, not understanding what was happening.
But Qibao understood the reaction and said directly, "Sister, you shouldn’t say things like that. Miaomiao must be upset. Normally Niu Niu and I even fight over who’s the boss, insisting I call her ’sister.’ If I don’t, she’ll shock me. I think he definitely doesn’t want to be the younger one. You hurt his pride by saying that."
Huo Sining just thought Qibao was joking. After all, it’s just an egg; how could it have pride? Isn’t this ridiculous?
But by nightfall, Huo Sining realized the serious consequence of her offhand remark, as her precious egg had run away again!
On a pitch-black, hand-can’t-see-five-fingers night, a Blue Fatty was bouncing down the main road of Magic Capital, hopped onto the roof of a car headed for the port, and hitched a ride to Hongqiao Port.
Then, Blue Fatty weaved through the multitude of containers and dockworkers.
"Old Qiu, did you see some blue thing just now?" A dockworker unloading at the harbor seemed to sense a shadow flash by and couldn’t help asking his colleague.
"What blue thing, you’re seeing things, right?"
The colleague chuckled nonchalantly, "Come on, probably a rat or something. Let’s hurry up and work. If the boss catches us slacking, we’ll lose our pay again!"
This scene didn’t only play out at the harbor; traffic monitoring centers also saw a blue shadow in surveillance footage but didn’t pay it any mind due to its speed.
The little one made it through numerous checkpoints and obstacles, reaching the shore and then leapt into the sea.
An invisible Spiritual Energy spread through the water, causing small ripples, and soon a large, unknown school of fish gathered around the little one.
The little one wasn’t in the mood for games, even at the sight of the fish. An octopus, tempted by the delicious scent of Spiritual Energy, recklessly reached out to grab the precious egg.
But just as the octopus touched the egg’s head, the little one exploded in an instant.
Faster than words can describe, as the octopus tentacle touched the eggshell, countless tiny ice spikes grew from it, shooting at the tentacle like a rain of arrows.
The octopus cried out in pain, recoiling far away, terrified to act up again. Though still drawn by the enticing Spiritual Energy, it watched from a distance with frustration but didn’t dare approach recklessly.
The precious egg didn’t care about the octopus’s feelings, continuing to enjoy itself in the sea like Nezha wreaking havoc, at times riding on a sea turtle, at times smashing coral reefs, bantering with schools of fish, or surfing the waves.
It wasn’t clear how long it waited, but a silver figure finally glided in from afar.
Seeing that long-missed figure, the little one’s somber face broke into a smile, happily rushing toward it.
