Chapter 41: Here Comes the Little Fox

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Editor: Sulo wants to cuddle the little snow-white fox

The entire hall was quiet.

Eighty-nine percent of the eyes of the staff and the traveling passengers were inadvertently cast over, and Gu YuMian was the center of all attention. This pompous and high-profile style, Gu YuMian felt a kind of inexplicable familiarity — don't say it's him again?

"…"

On both sides of the carpet, the servant's bowed at the same angle. The deacon held the bouquet and bowed his head respectfully.

Gu YuMian pointed to himself, "Mr. Gu, me?"

Deacon, "Of course, no one can answer to these words except you."

Gu YuMian's teeth were aching, he was embarrassed and awkward. He really couldn't stand this noble brown nosing. 1

But there was something different about that.

The young chief assistant immediately showed a clear look. The little snow leopard lowered his eyelids and watched Gu YuMian. The arctic fox kit also wagged his tail. Only the baby panda was still sucking his claws in a daze.

There were not many famous people in the Lower Urban District, but the Upper Urban District had many and were filled with gossips. They all knew about the family affairs from the Middle Urban District a few years ago.

Gu YuMian was not only a human being, but also a Gu. He came from Takk alone. Most likely, he was the only son of the former head of his family. It didn't matter anymore. The money and status earned by the original owner after he changed his family was not worth mentioning.

Moreover, Gu's family was now living in poverty. If it wasn't a certain Emperor who liked to play cat and mouse games, they would have been on the street a long time ago. They didn't even know how they had offended His Majesty.

"Mr. Gu," the chief assistant scratched his head, "do you know them?"

Gu YuMian turned to the deacon and asked, "I'm sorry, you are?"

The deacon glanced at the little snow leopard without trace and replied with lowered eyebrows, "Your friend, Mr. Shuo has given you Building 1 and 2 of the Floating Island as a private house in the Upper Urban District. I'm the housekeeper and have come to pick you up."

It was really because of Shuo Han. However, it was surprising that there were stewards and servants in this era. Weren't intelligent systems and robots enough to do everything?

It was Gu YuMian's bottom line not to pry into other people's privacy, but Shuo Han's financial resources and status were not consistent with his young age, which really made Gu YuMian confused.

The assistant listened in silence.

…Fuck, Floating Island?!

There were three top-level villas built on that Island and he couldn't afford to buy a brick even if he worked all his life! It was to be given to a Royal Family member or a noble.

What was the origin of this human anchor?

At this moment.

The chief assistant of the Academy of Sciences stood on the left side of Gu YuMian, holding the little arctic fox, while the middle-aged housekeeper and dozens of servants stood on the right side of Gu YuMian.

Both sides looked at Gu YuMian holding the baby snow leopard and panda.

Gu YuMian, "…" So, where on earth should he take the cubs to live?

An hour later.

A residential building a block away from the Academy of Sciences.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu," said the chief assistant as he opened the door with a magnetic card. "It's a bit crude. I hope you'll make do with it."

"It doesn't matter. I don't think it's simple. " Gu YuMian smiled. "I love it here."

This was the family building of the Academy of Sciences, but it didn't have the cold sense of technology that repelled people thousands of miles away. Instead, there were more pieces of original wooden furniture.

It was like a small compound with an old attic, there were many soft cushions, floor to floor windows and other places where they could bask in the sun, and kitchenware was also available. As a place to stay in for a week, it was already in line with Gu YuMian's expectations.

"TuanTuan, YuanYuan, do you like it?" He rubbed the little snow leopard's ears and held the baby panda's paws.

Of course, the baby panda chortled twice. But the little snow leopard gloomily didn't move his head because he was still angry at Gu YuMian.

Gu YuMian shook his head helplessly.

Finally, he had chosen the accommodation provided by the Academy of Sciences — after all, the Floating Island did not belong to him, so he would feel uneasy when living in it, and he felt uncomfortable and awkward with such a large group of housekeepers and servants.

Of course, the baby panda was happy, but the little snow leopard was not. He bit Gu YuMian's collar and pulled him to the housekeeper.

Gu YuMian entered into parental mode with great emphasis and whispered in his ear, "TuanTuan, don't be too greedy for enjoyment. All the gifts of fate have implied the price. Have you ever heard that? This time we owe Shuo Han. What will we pay next time?"

The Elbet Restaurant was different from the Floating Island.

When Elbet was handed over to Gu YuMian, it was in the state of bankruptcy. At this time, if Gu YuMian did not accept the restaurant and directly returned it to Shuo Han, it would either be that Shuo Han would bear the deficit, or Elbet would go bankrupt directly. Gu YuMian took over the operation, and after that, he made a profit and divided most of it to Shuo Han, which was the best solution he thought out.

— 'Owe' and 'repay' were two cold words with clear boundaries, which made the little snow leopard sulk completely.

He regarded Gu YuMian as his human, but Gu YuMian didn't think so. Why?

All the way after that, no matter how soft Gu YuMian's voice was, the little guy just lay on Gu YuMian's shoulder, ignoring him.

"Then if there's nothing to do, we won't disturb you." The chief assistant held the little arctic fox and waved at Gu YuMian.

The little arctic fox that was held by an assistant, looked back at Gu YuMian, showing an expression that was different from his clever and cunning appearance. He looked sad and a little lonely.

Gu YuMian's heart was a little sour all of a sudden.

Along the way, he felt that the little fox envied the little snow leopard and the baby panda. With an inappropriate metaphor, he was like a little vagrant wandering around, looking at other people's warm, bright, well cared children, looking forward to it while being a little timid and self abased.

Gu YuMian had held him and fed him the little wontons that were packed into the fresh-keeping box. The little fox happily and carefully ate with his small mouth from Gu YuMian's hand. Gu YuMian did feel happy at that time.

But the happiness was very short. Gu YuMian was going to take his own children home, and the little arctic fox was left behind again.

When the snow leopard and baby panda were sad, they were coaxed by Gu YuMian. The fox was sad and lonely, but no one coaxed him. He could only lick his wounds himself.

The little fox's obsidian eyes were wet, separated by a few meters from the sun in the deep winter of the Upper Urban District, they looked at Gu YuMian from afar.

Gu YuMian was stunned, as if his heart had been slightly clenched by someone.

"…"

The chief assistant could not help sighing.

To give birth to this kind of gifted youth, the chief parents were top scientists in the industry and devoted themselves to scientific research. As a child who had awakened his super brain ability at the age of two or three, the chief was sent to a professional institution at a very young age to receive the most professional and targeted education. He began to live on his own at the age of five. The chief was young and mature, with no mood swings. He was more like an AI than an AI, and those around him treated him as an adult.

But aside from knowing that before Gu YuMian came, the chief of 'no mood swings' was really looking forward to meeting the other.

At first, the chief assistant was worried about Gu YuMian's different performance and disillusionment with the chief on the Internet, but now he was worried that Gu YuMian was too good.

"Aii." The chief assistant held the little arctic fox and pushed open the door. Seeing that the door was going to close, he disappeared from Gu YuMian's sight with the little fox in his arms.

Last second.

Gu YuMian's hand supported the door frame and blocked the door from being closed.

"Um, do you want to…" He reached out and touched the fox's head. He thought and thought. Under the fox's blank and expectant eyes, he could not help but ask in a soft voice, "Stay with us tonight?"

The chief had up to a year off, but he had never asked for a single day. Thechief assistant asked the little arctic fox and superior's opinion, and this holiday was soon approved. They didn't directly tell Gu YuMian the identity of the little arctic fox, but they didn't deliberately hide it either. They were afraid that it would burden his mind. Let Gu YuMian find out for himself…

Compared with the snow leopard and baby panda, this arctic fox kit was really too good. Of course, the baby panda was also very good. He was the kind of cute baby that liked to play and eat. But the little arctic fox was shy by nature. No matter where he was, he would sit there and watch Gu YuMian or his surroundings.

"QiuQiu is staying for dinner," Gu YuMian held the snow leopard and the baby panda, and saw the fox sitting quietly on the cushion Gu YuMian found for him. "Do you have something you would like for dinner, hm?"

'Xue Tuan' and 'Tangyuan' were two stupid names. Gu YuMian forgot to ask the assistant the name of the little guy, so he temporarily named him 'Bai Qiu.' 2

Gu YuMian picked up the little fox, and he curled up his big tail and leaned on Gu YuMian's arms. His claws pulled on the edge of his shirt, and his throat made a chirping sound. It was like a small ball of fluff. 3

Baby panda, "Chii."

He and the little snow leopard were originally repellent to the new cubs, because their instinct was that they would have to share their own love and care with a new one. But the baby panda was very optimistic and kind-hearted in nature. At this time, he accepted the fox very peacefully. He had also taken the initiative to help the little fox set the mat and let him sit next to him.

He was a very sensible cub.

But Capital Star was not so receptive.

The little snow leopard was still sulking with Gu YuMian. At this time, he was not angry. He jumped on Gu YuMian's shoulder, firmly occupied his territory, and looked at the new one lazily from a high position. Moreover, unlike the baby panda, the new fool seemed to pose more of a crisis with his appearance, and the inner crisis the little snow leopard felt only grew deeper.

Was his tail short? Or his silver-white fur not soft enough?

What if his man was fascinated by this new white fool?

Fortunately, it was just a temporary stay… It had to be a temporary stay.

The snow leopard encircled Gu YuMian's neck with his long tail and pushed the fox away. But the baby panda lay on Gu YuMian's knee and greeted the little fox. The soft claw gently stroked the big fluffy tail of the little fox and sent out the baby whirring sound of praise and exclamation.

Before, the baby panda had turned into a human baby. After the assistant left, he became a panda. There was a flash of surprise in the little fox's eyes, and soon it disappeared. The little fox shyly shrank into Gu YuMian's arms, and bowed his head, YuanYuan's nose touched the paw of the fox. The two cubs got to know each other.

Apart from the little snow leopard who was still angry and careful, everything looked very harmonious.

Gu YuMian was adoring them.

Snow Leopard, "…"

Because it was a cub, Gu YuMian was not sure whether he should drink milk or eat food, so he had prepared both kinds — mixed milk and minced meat suitable for fox kits to chew and digest.

"TuanTuan is not allowed to bully the new child. QiuQiu, which do you want?" Gu YuMian took a new spare brush and brushed the fox's fur. The fur of the arctic fox was thick and long, especially the big fluffy tail. 4

"Tell me if you don't like it. I'll make you something else."

The little fox sat in front of the milk bottle with a solemn and a little shy manner. He put his paw on the palm of Gu YuMian's hand. His neck was slightly raised and extended gracefully. He wanted to drink some milk from Gu YuMian's hand but…

"Ji." He wanted to eat.

"Just a moment. I'll steam something over there right away."

Gu YuMian chopped the fat and thin synthetic rib meat, dried shrimp and dried mushrooms into small cubes. After they were cut, he then added chopped ginger into a pan to add flavor. Then he added the stuffing together with chopped scallions and carrots to the pan, stirring it evenly.

He poured in the soy sauce to improve the flavor and color. The color of the ribs was a beautiful and textured dark red. Then he mixed cooked taro paste and glutinous rice flour to form dumpling skin. He scooped the stuffing mix into the dumpling skin with a small spoon, and made dimsum. Now they needed to be steamed until done. 5

A few minutes later, Gu YuMian uncovered the steamer—

The fresh smell of meat and steam came out together. The greedy insects in the belly were immediately aroused!

Gu YuMian had made little balls to give to the cubs. Many small meatballs were delicately packed in bamboo steamers. The taro skin on the surface was thin, transparent, glossy, thick and sweet, and the steamed fresh, soft, waxy, rib meat stuffing was clearly visible.

Although the little snow leopard and baby panda had been eating with Gu YuMian for so long, they couldn't help being attracted every time the dishes came out of the pot.

Let alone the fox who came to eat at home for the first time. The arctic fox swallowed his saliva and watched Gu YuMian take a small spoon to put the meatball to his mouth.

Was this for him? Could it be eaten?

The bookworm expression, which was extremely inconsistent with the cute little face, immediately made Gu YuMian feel he was really adorable. He scratched the fox's chin with his hand, "It's for you, don't you like it?"

The little fox froze, then carefully lowered his head to grab a meatball from the spoon Gu YuMian held, and chewed and tasted it carefully.

The small meatball was warm, round and full. The thin skin made of taro paste was sweet, flexible and locked in the fresh taste. The meat stuffing inside was a mixture of the crispy meat and the elastic texture of shrimp. The little soy sauce that had survived was fresh and the slightly scalding juice dripped off of it, and the taste was boundless.

Little fox: "!"

His big fluffy tail shook more frequently, and he made a noise to Gu YuMian saying that it was very delicious!

The little snow leopard and the baby panda urged Gu YuMian to feed them a spoon, but the little fox dared not do so. Although he also wanted to eat more, he just waited on the side. Gu YuMian's heart melted. How could he not take care of him a little more?

Snow Leopard: "…"

The meatballs were sour.

The milk was sour.

The snow outside was also sour.

The world was sour.

… He needed to hold back.

Gu YuMian didn't know the frequency of the little fox's bath. At night, he bathed the little snow leopard and baby panda, and also washed the little arctic fox. The big fluffy tail had been washed and dried with a small power blower. It was fluffy and soft with a little light fragrance of leaves. Gu YuMian wanted to lie on it.

Then there was the long and patient process of combing and brushing his hair, but Gu YuMian was not tired while chatting with children and wasn't concentrating on work. Then when it was time to go to bed, Gu YuMian took the three cubs to sleep.

One night later, the little fox was no longer the prim and shy baby he was at the beginning, and his attitude was slightly relaxed. Of course, his character was introverted, not as arrogant as a snow leopard or optimistic as the baby panda.

Sunlight came in from the window. Outside, the snow had stopped, revealing the blue sky. This was the first day of their trip to the Upper Urban District.

Since they came to the Upper Urban District due to a travel live broadcast, which was usually longer, it was better to get up in the morning and go to bed at night, so as to give the audience a sense of immersive experience.

Gu YuMian made preparations in advance after the children fell asleep last night, and as soon as he got up this morning, he opened the live broadcast.

It was eight in the morning.

After careful calculation, Gu YuMian's live broadcast was the only one that started at 8 a.m. It had been such a long time — however, even when many people were sleeping late in the morning, just after the broadcast, there was still a rapid tide of audience members.

"Hello, I'm anchor Gu YuMian," Gu YuMian said, looking at the rapidly increasing number of viewers, bending his eyes and saying hello, "I'm going to go to the Academy of Sciences in a moment. Today's live broadcast will be relatively long. You can choose your favorite time to watch… Shh, the children are still asleep."

The three cubs were actually very sticky, but the snow leopard was still the most sticky one.

Now, the little fox and the baby panda were still sleeping on the soft and warm bed, which meant that the little snow leopard had to follow Gu YuMian when he slept. At the moment, he also slept on Gu YuMian's shoulder.

Gu YuMian had finished washing and putting on his clothes, and was packing for the Academy. Unfortunately, the little snow leopard couldn't go with him in the morning — he had to go to the campus of Upper Urban District to attend school, but it was too early as classes would only start in the afternoon. It would be the same if Gu YuMian picked him up at two or three o'clock.

A large number of barrages poured in.

[Jucy Chen: I waited all night for the long live broadcast. Yesterday was really too short! Other anchors broadcast eight hours a day, you go live for two hours a day, you should reflect on this. QAQ]

[Throwing Cosmetics: I set an alarm clock, got up and waited for the live broadcast. Shit! Aaah! I'm looking forward to watching the live broadcast of the Upper Urban District with Mian Mian together. I was almost so excited that I didn't fall asleep last night.]

[Vivian: Set alarm + 1]

[Human Wind and Moon: Aaaaaah! Upper Urban District! Aaaaaah! Aaah! Mianmian, Academy of Sciences! I can't!]

After yesterday's round of spontaneous recommendations, within ten minutes, the number of people had gradually approached 10 million.

Chapter 42: Fish Fillet Seafood Congee

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Editor: Sulo wants to adopt the little snow-white fox

In the early morning, the audience's growth far exceeded Gu YuMian's expectation. He was a little surprised and soon returned to his normal rhythm. He wanted to talk about today's arrangements with the audience.

"Today, I made an appointment with the Academy of Sciences to visit at 9:30 in the morning until 5:00 in the evening, and I will go around the Upper Urban District after. TuanTuan is going to school in the morning," Gu YuMian scratched the little snow leopard's chin, and the little snow leopard yawned lazily. "First, we will pack TuanTuan a small package."

The little package was like a satchel. The little snow leopard could carry it easily.

Gu YuMian filled it with little snacks like cheese salmon and cat biscuits, a small thermos, and an information magnetic card to prevent children from getting lost and to help them find their home.

He helped the little snow leopard comb his hair neatly — Gu YuMian considered it well. Children needed face when they went out. Neat and clean children would be popular at school.

When Gu YuMian did these things, the little snow leopard looked at him with his half-open gray-blue eyes. His gaze was careless and a little indulgent. Sometimes Gu YuMian found his show of disobedience funny.

There was a smile in his eyes.

Both the baby panda and fox were asleep. The audience was watching through the long lost view of the snow leopard.

[Aaaaah!]

[It's so sweet and I'm happy to see Mianmian when I got up early!]

[Can Mianmian smile a little bit more? I forgot to put sugar in my coffee.]

The number of spectators had skyrocketed and there were so many bullet screens that it was hard to see each one.

"By the way," Gu YuMian looked at the time, "I have more than an hour left. I can cook fish fillets and seafood congee for breakfast. TuanTuan, have some congee before you go."

The little snow leopard, of course, had no objection. He rubbed his head and ears against Gu YuMian's palm. The little fox and baby panda could get up and have congee. They could make more congee and take it to the researchers who were not free to have breakfast in the Academy of Sciences.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but Gu YuMian thought that the kitchenware in the house prepared by the Academy of Sciences was too complete.

—Even though the steamer and oven were used, they even had a casserole set up he had never seen in the interstellar age before.

"The fish fillet and shrimps should be prepared first and marinated."

Gu YuMian cut the fish into thin slices with a knife in one hand, and the fish was a light pink and neatly sized. He used cooking wine and a trace salt to remove the fishy smell, and then he coated them in egg yolk to ensure the taste was fresh and tender, while the shrimps were shelled and peeled to remove the vein, and slightly frozen.

"The congee needs to cook for a while."

In this era, there were few people who ate rice and noodles, but fortunately, Gu YuMian found rice on the vast Internet. Pearl rice had been soaked and washed. Gu YuMian first boiled it in a cooker with clear water, then cooked it directly over high heat. He stirred it until it boiled, and immediately turned it to low heat.

Technology shortened the time for cooking congee. Gu YuMian controlled the fire to make the congee boil without overflowing. He first boiled it with cold water and then lowered the heat. This could ensure that the rice grains absorbed enough water and became fragrant, soft, and thick.

The fragrance of the white congee itself made many audiences' mouths full of saliva, not to mention after Gu YuMian uncovered the pot. He first added some mushrooms and scallops, took a long spoon and stirred it, and then directly put the marinated fish and shrimp into the congee with shredded ginger, and added a small spoon of sesame oil. When it was almost done, he added some greens and onions.

Soon, a pot of fish slices and seafood congee was simmered on the stove until it was boiling and made a gurgling sound.

Uncovering the lid, the food inside was thick and soft. The glutinous rice congee was full and blooming. In the congee, there were white pieces of fish, tender red shrimp, and freshly cooked greens. The bright color made people salivate.

At the same time, a delicious and rich seafood congee fragrance overflowed in an unrestricted manner!

The little snow leopard who had dozed off woke up at this time and looked up, waiting to be fed. And the little fox and baby panda who were sleeping on the soft bed were also awoken from their sleep. They were also moved by the fragrance and were about to wake up completely.

[The quilt is Soft: My God, is this edible? When can we eat it? I'm ready with my dry bread. I can chew on it at any time!]

The audience couldn't help it. A large portion of 'Aaah,' 'expectation' and 'eat fast' exploded on the screen. The growth rate of the audience, which was originally very scary, rose in another order of magnitude.

Gu YuMian took a long spoon to taste, added a little more salt and cooked it for a while, then filled a small bowl and heated it to give the little snow leopard some congee, fish slices, and shrimps.

After a while, the little snow leopard squinted contentedly and nodded his head to express his satisfaction.

—The hot and fresh rice congee was soft, tender, and fragrant. It was boiled into the salty and fresh fish slices, and dried shrimps. It had a thick taste of rice and was sweet and glutinous. The taste of the fish was soft, fresh, and tender. The shrimp was crisp and fresh, all of which retained the original flavor without a fishy smell. 1

On this winter morning, to start with such a bowl of congee, it made the whole body warm — starting from the stomach, gently awakening the spirit from sleep. Not only the taste, but the whole feeling was amazing.

The barrage was about to explode into fireworks.

[Meow Meow Meow: Aaaaaaaaah!]2

[Junior B: Aaaaah! Although I have a clear understanding of the skill level of anchor, I can't help wanting to eat it every time. Kneeling! Aaaaah! It's delicious and comfortable!]

[White Pear Blossom, Lili: So comfortable, and beautiful color! What did you call this one? Congee? Wuwu, if I had studied hard at that time, I might have been able to eat the congee made by MianMian in the Academy of Sciences.]

[There's a Cloud: The fish and shrimp are fragrant and smooth, the rice is soft and warm. Is the name 'seafood congee?' Sending five fireworks.]

[aufcn: This was recommended to me by my friend! Although I have to go to work at nine, I'm satisfied! I'm fine!]

It was half-past eight. Gu YuMian had just been on air for half an hour, and the number of audience members would soon reach 30 million. Just over half an hour, without any moderation, his broadcast had directly rushed to the top of the real-time popularity list in the living area!

Gu YuMian couldn't help but smile and divide some congee into fresh-keeping boxes, saying, "If you have a chance in the future, please taste it yourself."

Gu YuMian was thinking that things in Elbet's Restaurant were not stable at the moment. If there was a chance, he wanted to add this not too difficult fish congee to the menu later. 3

The audience only heard him say that there would be a lottery in the future, and they all agreed with both hands and feet. There was a lot of 'good' and 'looking forward to the lottery' in the barrage, and many gifts exploded.

He was keeping some congee to be brought to the Academy of Sciences. Gu YuMian let the little snow leopard lay on his shoulder firmly. He went to the living room with the entire casserole dish held with his insulated gloves and called his other two children to get up for food.

Not far away, the little fox curled up in a ball with his big tail, woke up first, sat in the bed and pondered for a while. His paws carefully pushed the soft belly of the sleeping baby panda to remind him to get up for breakfast. The baby panda smelled the food, rubbed his eyes, and soon sat up in a daze, staring at the fox with his round eyes.

"QiuQiu, YuanYuan, here's breakfast." Gu YuMian took off his insulating gloves, put down the casserole dish, and came to hold the baby. "I will visit the Academy of Sciences in a moment. We will have a full meal first because I don't know what time we will be able to have lunch."

Before Gu YuMian arrived, the little snow leopard jumped from his shoulder to the bedside. The little snow leopard sat up and looked down arrogantly at the two little guys. His tail swung and his throat gave out a very low reverberation. The other two children listened with dull eyes.

He was like the boss of some bad organization scolding his younger brothers.

The audience, "Hahaha!"

Gu YuMian, "…"

Of course, he remembered to open the live broadcast privacy setting project of the baby panda, but he forgot about the fox. Someone immediately asked him where the cub came from.

"QiuQiu is the mascot of the Academy of Sciences. He came to play at our house." Gu YuMian explained. The audience members all knew that there were arctic foxes in the Academy of Sciences, but only a few knew that the chief and the little arctic fox were related to each other.

"TuanTuan." Gu YuMian asked the little snow leopard to sit on his shoulder and looked at the small Tangyuan, who was simple and round to hold. The little fox, whose tail was fluffy and shy, looked at him. There was a sudden pressure, and it was hard for Gu YuMian not to hold his tail either.

Finally, he managed to pick up the little Tangyuan first, and then let the little fox get into his arms, and walked to the dining table in the living room to put them down.

There couldn't be any more children at home, Gu YuMian thought.

This was the first morning Gu YuMian spent with the audience in the studio.

The little milk pot heated the milk for the baby panda and little fox. It made a gurgling and bubbling sound on the stove. The steam and milk fragrance gently encircled the whole space. Gu YuMian took the children to have congee and breakfast and chatted for a while.

The snow just stopped falling outside the window, the sky was blue in the Upper Urban District, and the sound of broadcasting news in the morning was a reassuring background sound.

The mood of the 30 million audience members had also stepped into a slow and peaceful rhythm. They were ready for all the things and highlights of the whole day after this reception. They were even looking forward to it.

Gu YuMian's live broadcast had also quietly ascended the home page's real-time popularity list, slowly climbing up the ranks.

"Then we'll go out and go to the Academy of Sciences."

It was exactly nine o'clock in the morning. Gu YuMian helped the three children comb their hair and tidy up their appearance in turn. The baby panda was carried into the bassinet. The snow leopard lay on his shoulder and the cute little fox, QiuQiu, was cuddled in his arms.

Gu YuMian made a final check for anything he had forgotten and pushed the door open.

—The sun was shining down. It was a fine day today.

Just out of the door, looking up, they could see the magnificent palace and the tower suspended in the sky. There were fleets patrolling around the clock. The streets were covered with snow, but the automatic snow melting device made the roads unobstructed, and there were few people out and about.

The little snow leopard was picked up by the people from the school in the Upper Urban District. Now, as long as the two children were taken care of, Gu YuMian could be very relaxed.

"Mr. Gu, do you need someone to pick you up?" The assistant called and asked him, "Er… Do you know the way? "

Gu YuMian didn't really know the way, but he was extremely cautious when taking the children out. So he had checked the route several times last night — not to mention the distance of only about one kilometer. He thought it should be okay. "It's no trouble, I'll be there in a moment."

The assistant thought it was fine, after all, the chief was also there, so they couldn't get lost, "Okay."

[There's a family in the mine: Eh, there are so few people in the Upper Urban District. Even if it is early in the morning.]

The temperature outside was still a little low, so Gu YuMian wore a woolen coat and a scarf. Because he wore a lot of clothes, his movements were slow and he gave off warmth.

Gu YuMian held the shy and introverted fox in his arms, covered the baby panda, and explained, "Ten percent of the population in the Upper Urban District are aristocratic royalty, and the rest are servants and migrant workers of the aristocracy."

Perhaps because of the constitutional monarchy, this should be a place with the most advanced technology, because the existence of aristocracy was a little behind the Lower Urban District. At this time, the nobles were sleeping in or socializing, and they would not go out. So the streets were full of migrant workers.

"The Academy of Sciences is in area B," Gu YuMian explained to the audience in a low voice, "because area B is very close to the palace, you need to pass the checkpoint. This section may disclose personal information. I'll turn off the live broadcast for about ten minutes. Sorry, everyone."

Gu YuMian's consideration was very comprehensive, after all, passing the customs really involved a lot of private information. Although the audience was interested in seeing it, they were also very considerate and would wait for him.

It was the same as going to the airport and through security.

Although Gu YuMian was a human, he had been looked at with many different eyes. Of course, it was not very friendly. Maybe the relationships between humans and those in the Upper Urban District was even weaker. Everyone was busy with their own affairs.

When passing through the security device, the staff scanned Gu YuMian's electronic pass and personal information, thought about it, and suddenly asked him to show his paper pass.

Gu YuMian, "…"

It was true that the Upper Urban District pass had a paper with a stamp, which may be put in the bag, but he had never had to check the paper before. Gu YuMian was not sure if he brought it.

Gu YuMian was wearing thick clothes now. He had to hold the fox and look after Tangyuan. It was a bit troublesome for him to look for anything. The people behind him didn't offer to help, he just looked at the time impatiently.

As soon as the little arctic fox was in a crowded place, he became stiff and nervous. He was easier to deal with when he was held by Gu YuMian. But Gu YuMian had to put him down and touched his ears, "QiuQiu, go to the cradle and squeeze in with YuanYuan. I'll find the pass while you hold him."

The little fox gave a chirp.

Gu YuMian shifted his bag to the front of his body to look for it. It was filled with milk bottles, paper towels, and so on. Gu YuMian wore a lot of clothes and was worried. He couldn't find it for half a minute. The people behind seem to be more impatient.

That was when —

There was a sudden silence behind him. Everyone had become silent. It was like when Moses made his way through the sea, and the sound of army boots stepping on the ground from afar began growing closer.

Gu YuMian was not paying attention. A tall man was standing at a close distance behind him. He lowered his grey-blue eyes and fixed his gaze on the young man's face and pale lips.

Gu YuMian finally realized something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Just as he wanted to turn around, his right hand was suddenly, slightly clasped.

The next second.

"Use this." The man leaned over and whispered to him. The voice was low and magnetic and sounded lazily in Gu YuMian's ear.

The smell of cedar shrouded him, unlike any other men's perfume.

Gu YuMian's hands were covered with mittens. The slender and cool fingers clasped Gu YuMian's right fingers from behind, handed the pass to Gu YuMian's palm, and closed his five fingers around the card. It was a very intimate and secretive embrace, which could not be defined as one from a friend. Only lovers would have no problem in the position.

Gu YuMian's brain emptied for a few moments.

The narrow passage was not so airy. The air was a little hot…

He subconsciously followed the man's movements and looked down. It was a stamped paper pass with his name on it, but it was not the temporary one that the Academy of Sciences had helped him with that only lasted a week: this one looked permanent.

Shuo Han looked down at Gu YuMian's reaction, and a moment later, his brow rose slightly.

All the people who waited at the back were looking at them without making a sound.

The whole space was quiet

"…"

Ten seconds later.

The little fox finally plucked up his courage to come out of the cradle. He went to see Gu YuMian nervously and anxiously but saw a completely different picture from his imagination.

The human youth, who had always been very steady and flexible, had a look of consternation in his light brown eyes, a little shortness of breath, and was a little unnatural in his movements. He didn't know if it was because of embarrassment or something else, but there was a light reddish flush on his earlobe.

Ten minutes later.

From the narrow passage, Gu YuMian held the lovely fox and finally breathed out.

It was really boring there. Maybe in addition to the sense of relief that the situation just now was over after someone helped him, his heartbeat very fast, and he also felt a shake in his identity as a straight man of more than twenty years.

But now that the feeling faded, he was back to normal and could think calmly.

They were on their way. Shuo Han glanced at him lightly and said, "The pass comes with property."

It was the villa on Floating Island. One could buy property in the Upper Urban District with a pass, but Gu YuMian didn't know about it and may not use it even if he knew about it.

Gu YuMian smiled and nodded, "Thanks for the pass."

He didn't want to talk about the real estate and the gifts, so as not to quarrel.

"Shuo Han, what are you doing in the Upper Urban District?" Gu YuMian looked at Shuo Han, and he couldn't help but feel some doubts in his heart, "It's such a coincidence?"

A few days ago, they met in the Lower Urban District and both came to the Upper Urban District. What's more, it was a bit of a coincidence for Shuo Han to show up with his pass this time.

"I live in the Upper Urban District. I had to go to the Lower Urban District for work before." Shuo Han didn't explain it very seriously.

Gu YuMian: Really…

"It's too bad." Shuo Han answered the other question. He looked at Gu YuMian with half-drooping eyelids and carelessness for a while. "I was looking for you."

Gu YuMian, "Why?"

Shuo Han stopped.

Gu YuMian walked a few steps forward without feeling, then turned around and looked at him

Shuo Han's gray-blue eyes stared at him for a long time, reflecting the deep winter blue sky, and suddenly appeared lighter as he smiled. It was a bit like a little taunt, but that expression was not cold, even a little emotional, which made Shuo Han's beautiful appearance more lazy and charming.

Shuo Han stepped forward two steps, and his bony fingers gently passed through Gu YuMian's hair. He raised his head and looked at him seriously, "Because I want to see you, can't I?"

"…"

Little Tangyuan was sleeping in his bassinet and the little fox was curled up into a ball in Gu YuMian's arms. His fluffy tail shook and he raised his head in confusion. Gu YuMian had to admit that maybe this was just not the reason why the air at the gate was too stuffy.

He felt a few wrong beats in his heart.

Even if it was irrational, he forgot all the questions and doubts he had just now.

Twenty minutes later, half-past nine in the morning.

Shuo Han took Gu YuMian to the door of the Academy of Sciences, watched him enter the door, stopped for a while, and then turned to his suspension device. Through the corridor was the inside of the Academy of Sciences. Gu YuMian walked in the corridor, and the live broadcast had been reopened.

There was such a gap in time, but the number of spectators was just slightly less than as had originally been before. Once opened, it began to grow rapidly.

"Hello everyone," Gu YuMian said hello to everyone. Although he was working, his ears were still a little red inevitably. "I'm sorry, I just met some small accidents, the time was delayed, and I've kept you waiting for a long time."

[Wuwuwuwu. It doesn't matter. I was just worried about what happened to MianMian. Was my family's MianMian bullied?]

[It's okay to be in the Academy on time! Looking forward to it!]

Gu YuMian was not a romantic type of person. He tried to adjust himself, and soon pulled himself away from this new mood — maybe just for a while, and then he could think about it when he was free because there were more important things now.

He was looking forward to the Academy himself.

Gu YuMian held the fox in his arms and waved with his claws.

"Then we'll go in."

Chapter 43: Cheese Fondue

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Editor: Sulo wants to see Gu YuMian blush again

Flashback to half an hour ago.

The official work time of the Academy of Sciences was from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. After the change of office, the academic atmosphere of the Academy of Sciences was still strong, but regular work and rest were not well maintained. Because of their habits of staying up late to collect data and make reports, except for a highly disciplined chief, most of the scientific researchers would arrive from 11:00 am to noon. They would normally walk in wearing slippers and holding breakfast bread, standing outside the laboratory after brunch, putting on white coats and goggles to start work.

Today was not a normal day.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the chief, who was always punctual, was not in, but the Academy of Sciences was full of people — the ones who should have come didn't come, the ones who shouldn't have come had arrived extremely early.

"I woke up at eight o'clock today, and in the morning I made half a bowl of white rice to eat while watching the live broadcast."

"Haha, I was watching at 7:30 am. Besides, the chief looked really happy."

"The chief is really lucky, but we are not too bad. We will have porridge in a while."

"Really?" A new girl from the ancient books restoration section spoke weakly, "Watching his live, he left a small pot for those who didn't have breakfast. Will there be enough for us?"

"…"

The voice had just fallen, and there was silence.

This sentence was like a star falling on the attic from the precarious sky.

The peaceful and relaxed atmosphere on the surface suddenly collapsed. Everyone woke up from the beautiful idea and their smiles disappeared.

There were ten to twenty people in each group, totalling ten groups, nearly two hundred people. Gu YuMian didn't make a big pot of rice. That small pot of porridge was not enough. Everyone quietly raised their ears, back tight, vigilantly looked around at the potential opponents of their former colleagues, barely showing a hypocritical smile to each other.

Capital Star's first Academy of Sciences was a magnificent three-story building, surrounded by a translucent barrier. Green plants were planted around the building, and scientists' suspension devices were parked outside. Gu YuMian walked through the corridor and reached the gate. The waiting robot looked at him quietly and waited for him to verify his identity with his fingerprint information.

"…"

But Gu YuMian hesitated. He was actually a little bit socially awkward.

Before he came, he had thought about what to do if these scientists were very cold. Besides, what if they didn't like him disturbing their research? Would the atmosphere be awkward then?

For this reason, for a while he actually practiced how to say a paragraph to enliven the atmosphere, and finally gave up because the effect was not great.

The audience could see Gu YuMian's expression of slightly pursing his lips.

[Is MianMian nervous?]

"In fact, I'm a little nervous. These are all the big guys that write textbooks and are on the news. Do you think the big guys are nervous too?"

The little fox felt Gu YuMian's anxiety and held the other side's hand with his little claw. His nose nudged Gu YuMian's palm in a shy and careful manner. He was trying to comfort him in his own way.

The baby panda was now familiar with becoming a human baby, and he could occasionally stay awake. He held Gu YuMian's hand and said, "Bah."

Miraculously, Gu YuMian actually calmed down with the clumsy comfort from the children. He bent his eyes and touched the small heads of QiuQiu and YuanYuan respectively.

"Thank you, too. I'm much better now," Gu YuMian whispered to the audience while pressing the visitor key on the floating light screen. The back door opened slowly to both sides after the fingerprint was inputted, "Let's go in now, and keep it down so as not to disturb their work."

Next second, the bright and tidy Academy of Sciences would be displayed in front of Gu YuMian—

The Academy of Sciences was very large and on the hall on the first floor was everyone's desk. Through the corridor, many laboratories, large and small, were connected. One couldn't see to the end at a glance.

Gu YuMian had heard about it. The second floor was also a laboratory, while the third floor was a special place for rest and relaxation, as well as a gym. From time to time, there were crisp sounds and discussion, as well as the sound of colliding instruments. Everyone worked seriously. The whole space exuded a rigorous and elegant academic atmosphere.

It was exactly like the Academy of Sciences in Gu YuMian's mind.

"…" The little fox's mouth twitched a little. It was completely different than the place half a day ago.

When Gu YuMian entered the door, everyone's movements stopped for a short time. There were hundreds of eyes on Gu YuMian, and soon everything recovered as usual.

Gu YuMian, "?" Illusion?

The assistant who was in charge of the reception was the same person who had helped Gu YuMian earlier. Seeing Gu YuMian, he immediately walked up with a smile and shook hands with him.

"Mr. Gu, nice to see you again. Are you broadcasting live? Hello everyone."

The audience greeted him in a friendly way.

The assistant's name was Liang. Let's call him Xiao Liang. Xiao Liang handed Gu YuMian a brand new white coat and three filtering devices. As he walked in with Gu YuMian, he explained, "Some laboratories are closed for experiments, and today you may only visit four or five laboratories."

[Vivian: Aaah! MianMian in a white coat is killing me! ]

[soda robot 1: Weak + 1 It's a good fit.]

Although Gu YuMian was a live broadcaster for a living, he still wore a professional expression. This made Gu YuMian's temperament very suitable for the white coat. He was gentle and voluminous, a little like a strange and handsome surgeon in a hospital.

The filtering device was a disc, just like the holographic device, which could filter harmful substances in the air. Gu YuMian first put it on for himself, then on the side of the neck for the little fox curled up in his arms, and on the forehead for little Tangyuan.

The next visit couldn't have children, but the Academy of Sciences had a special lounge and the most advanced parenting robot. Gu YuMian could also keep an eye on the lounge through a monitoring device at any time, so he did not have to worry.

"If you are obedient, I'll be back soon."

The little fox was reluctant to let him leave, but he was still very obedient and seriously "chirped" twice. He pressed his claws on the edge of the stroller, saying that when Gu YuMian was away, he would try to take good care of the sleeping baby, Tangyuan, and would stay in a strange environment waiting for him to come back.

Xiao Liang, "…" Had he entered too far into his acting? Wasn't this his own place? Did he really think of himself as a first-time guest?!

Of course, this live broadcast was also to cooperate with the purpose of the Academy of Sciences to promote the popularization of science. A routine visit was essential. Gu YuMian said to the audience, "We will visit the laboratory with Mr. Liang, maybe for an hour or two. It'll almost be lunch time after the visit. By the way," Gu YuMian took out his own fresh-keeping box from the bag and gave it to Xiao Liang. "This is the fish and seafood porridge I cooked in the morning. If anyone hasn't had breakfast, you can —"

Before the sentence could be finished, the whole Academy of Sciences was quiet and the atmosphere was tense.

Gu YuMian, "?"

Xiao Liang realized that something shameful would happen, so he took Gu YuMian to the lab, to avoid Gu YuMian from seeing the next scene.

This somehow managed to maintain the serious image of various scientists in Gu YuMian's mind. The process of visiting the laboratory also refreshed Gu YuMian's opinion.

He used to think that the Academy of Sciences was only studying high-tech, particle guns and so on, but later found that it was not only that. In addition to physical and chemical research, there were many aspects closely related to life, such as cooking, planting and synthesis technology, intelligent life system, Ancient Earth classics information restoration, etc.

In particular, the restoration of Ancient Earth classics made Gu YuMian see a lot of things he used to be familiar with, and he felt a little excited. What's more, Gu YuMian was moved by the fact that the attitude of the researchers was very good, not only that they did not discriminate against human beings, but also that some of them even showed great enthusiasm?

For example, when he arrived at the ancient books restoration group, they all came up one by one to shake hands with him and said some polite words, such as "I wanted to see Mr. Gu for a long time now" and "I've heard a lot about you."

"Sorry, what is that?" During the visit, Gu YuMian saw that everyone was cautiously facing an object that could not be seen as it was blocked by their backs. "Something unearthed from Ancient Earth?"

"Yes," said the girl who led the restoration. "It was just unearthed last month. It may be a major discovery in abstract art and pictographs. The outline we initially recovered was like this."

Gu YuMian looked at the things projected on the light screen. The overall color was a mixture of many red elements. He worked hard to see the characters on the screen.

[KFC limited time special, fried chicken wings with new butter and jam □ □ discount]

Gu YuMian, "…"

Looking at everyone's serious expression, Gu YuMian was a little impatient. What abstract art and pictographs? It was just an advertising poster, wasn't it!?

Gu YuMian and the audience took two hours to visit the laboratories together.

It was the first time that the general people had access to cutting-edge technology. The number of visitors to his live studio had risen and was maintained well. After visiting the four laboratories, the mood was still high.

As for lunch, Gu YuMian also had preliminary ideas—

It was a rare opportunity and not easy to be able to visit the Academy of Sciences. How could he not seize this opportunity? Previously, people said that the ingredients here were safe and could be accessed at will, which would also promote the popularization of science and publicity.

But he also needed to be careful. The Academy of Sciences was more knowledgeable than other people. He couldn't expose the fact that he was indigenous to Ancient Earth.

In five minutes, the news that Gu YuMian wanted to use the Academy of Sciences to cook spread all over the Academy of Sciences. Scientists who were just about to fight for a small bowl of seafood fish porridge were shocked.

After visiting the four laboratories, Gu YuMian cut the broadcast again, giving the audience and himself a break, and used this time to prepare the next live content.

In the preparation process, the scientists in each group helped Gu YuMian, but their attitude was a little too warm, and Gu YuMian sometimes couldn't resist. And so the preparation took an entire hour.

Just before the start, Gu YuMian received another communication from the school. The teacher had something to do today. He left class ahead of time and asked him where it was appropriate to send Gu Xue Tuan to.

Gu YuMian asked the teacher to send him to the Academy of Sciences, and in a few minutes, he met the snow leopard at the gate.

"TuanTuan studied hard at school." Gu YuMian kissed the snow leopard, buried his head in the soft and fluffy neck, pinched the small paw pad and said, "Let's make something delicious for lunch."

The little snow leopard's grey-blue eyes glanced at him, and his long tail circled his human's neck, yawning lazily.

The little fox sat next to him, watching over the sleeping Tangyuan, and looked up at Gu YuMian and the little snow leopard. He looked envious. Gu YuMian thought he was very sad. He also picked up the little fox and the little Tangyuan, and kissed their foreheads. The little fox made a shy "chirp".

"It's hard for QiuQiu to help take care of YuanYuan. QiuQiu is a reliable big brother."

Snow Leopard, "…" Not very happy.

Although it was tiring to take care of three children, Gu YuMian still liked to stay with his cubs. After finishing the final preparations, Gu YuMian took a breath and opened the live broadcast again.

"Hello, everyone. I'm anchor Gu YuMian. Now we are in the back kitchen of the Academy of Sciences. We are borrowing the back kitchen and ingredients to make lunch — today we are going to have cheese fondue." 1

Many viewers had been waiting for a long time. As soon as the broadcast started, the number of viewers went up crazily. In a few minutes, it broke through 10 million, and a large number of bullet screens poured out.

[User 14878: Here we are! Although it was fun to visit the Academy of Sciences in the morning, I prefer anchor cooking and baby sucking. QAQ What's for lunch today?]

[White Pear Blossom, Lili: The kitchen in the Academy of Sciences? Will there be any new pieces of technology and new appliances? Looking forward to it! Smashing two fireworks!]

[Junior B: I liked the visit to the Academy of Sciences and cooking for the kids. In the morning, the place was too cool.]

[Sleeping in the clouds: What is cheese fondue? Looking forward to it. Aaah!]

[Cat's Meow: I can answer this question. Is cheese fondue similar to Shouxi hot pot? Shouxi hot pot was really good! I have begun to swallow my saliva!]

I want to thank the Academy of Sciences for their help. Gu YuMian wanted to make something for everyone to taste, but he was only one person and couldn't make so many dishes. And now it was winter in the Upper Urban District — thinking about it, hot pot seemed to be the most appropriate.

Of course, cheese fondue required a great amount of cheese. Gu YuMian would not have dared to try it easily if he didn't see the newly developed tools and ingredients during his visit in the morning. Gu YuMian poured the synthetic fresh milk into a small wooden bucket with an outlet below, and put it into the device provided by the Academy of Sciences for high temperature sterilization for several seconds. Then he took a small vacuum bag to pour the powder into it, and then took another one after a period of time.

"This process is complex. If you are interested, I will post it on the Internet later."

Gu YuMian himself was a cheese lover. He knew the production process of cheese. It needed factories to make it on Ancient Earth, but thanks to the high technology of the Academy of Sciences, it could be done in minutes.

The milk block was dried by steam, kneaded and matured with the help of the machine. It was divided into two parts, one of which had carbonic acid while the other did not. In a short time, blocks of cheese, which were crystal white, warm and fragrant, were arranged in order on the plate. Then the cheese pieces were rubbed into a silk shape, chestnut powder was added to prevent two kinds of cheese from agglomerating, and then they were set aside.

"By the way, it seems that QiuQiu hasn't tried the cheese I made? Do you want to try?"

The little fox gathered his big fluffy tail because Gu YuMian rubbed his head and nodded shyly. Gu YuMian's heart melted. He fed him a small spoon of cheese to taste.

The more the snow leopard looked at the fox, the more unhappy he was. This was worse than the fat fool sleeping. But he couldn't find any reason to bully the other. He could only be upset and sulk on Gu YuMian's shoulder.

Now the audience had the fox's first point of view. Gu YuMian had made cheese on Takk, but most of the new audience members on Capital Star hadn't tasted the cheese made by Gu YuMian. They were worried. Then they were amazed by the taste!

It was mellow, fragrant and not oily. It was several times better than all the cheese on the market.

Due to the rapid increase of the audience, the popularity that had been temporarily reduced due to the interruption of the previous live broadcast was quickly filled back, and soon, the live studio took the most popular seat in the living area.

—But it was not over.

Gu YuMian fired several small stoves to boil water and cut potatoes, cauliflower, shrimp, beef rolls, meatballs and chicken breast respectively. Ham and carrots didn't need to be boiled. They were cut directly. In addition, the bread slices were cut and then baked. Then he dished up each one of these.

He chose a small pot, rubbed the wall of the pot with garlic, poured a small glass of white wine into the pot, added two spoonfuls of garlic, and simmered it over a small fire. In a short time, the white wine was slightly boiling, emitting bubbles, and everyone could smell warm sweet wine.

Gu YuMian first grabbed a small handful of cheese and put it into the liquor in the pot to melt it, held a long spoon to stir the melted cheese and wine evenly, and then added more cheese in a short time. He repeated the process several times, finally put in a raw egg, added a small spoon of brandy, salt and cinnamon powder to taste.

Soon, more than half of the cheese in the small pot melted and boiled under the low heat.

The hot and bubbling cheese presented a milky and sticky texture. The mellow and strong milk fragrance mixed with the sweetness of grape wine. The scent of salty, fresh, sour and sweet items flowed along the air! It was easy to imagine that the very tender ingredients were scalded in the cheese pot for a while, and the fresh, mellow and warm feeling of the smooth cheese wrapped around them could not be more suitable for eating during winter.

The serious little fox couldn't help but look at the cheese in the pot. The sleeping little Tangyuan sucked his fingers and tried to open his eyes. The little snow leopard directly condescended and leaned his head against Gu YuMian's palm, urging him to feed him quickly.

[Like to eat marshmallows: Aaaaaah! When can we eat them? Why is it so fragrant?! Is this really the cheese I know? ]

[Tiger: I'm a new audience member. I just came to see the Academy of Sciences… I was caught off guard and entered a pit? Smash a few fireworks.]

[tgx772: In pit + 1. There is only a line between technology and a fat house, please hurry up!]

[There's a family in the mine: Don't you think this cheese is more fragrant than before? I don't care, I'm hungry, I want to eat! Wuwuwuwu!]

The thick, overlapping barrage almost obscured the picture.

It had not been more than half an hour since the live broadcast was reopened, and the number of viewers had already skyrocketed to 50 million. It was not only on the homepage's real-time popularity list, but also rushed into the top three of the entire site!

The rich milk fragrance came out from the kitchen door…

The back kitchen was on the third floor, which was in the rest, entertainment and dining space of the Academy of Sciences. In the past, the third floor was mostly empty during lunch break, as they were used to finishing lunch on the first floor before continuing to work.

Old Li, the leader of the ancient books restoration group, who finished his work in the morning, looked left and right, and then, after repeatedly making sure that he did not attract the attention of his colleagues, crept up the elevator to the third floor.

Before the elevator door opened, he could not help but take a deep breath.

His group of workaholic colleagues didn't react so fast. Maybe he would be the first to arrive. Not only would he taste the 'cheese fondue' on the live broadcast, but maybe he could also talk with the anchor for a while and make a friend.

His daughter also liked Gu YuMian very much. Their family didn't mind that Gu YuMian was human. If he could recruit him as a son-in-law, he could eat it every day—

The more Old Li thought about it, the more he thought it was a good idea.

Until the next second, when the elevator door opened in front of him.

In the past, the third floor was very empty.

At this time, it was full of people, all familiar faces.

All of them were extremely serious, with an attitude that was even more attentive than when they were doing experiments, as they stared at the door of the kitchen. From time to time, there was a sound of swallowing.

Old Li, "…"

Chapter 44: Human

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Editor: Sulo wants to hug the little snow white fox's FLUFFY tail

12:30 PM.

Downtown, Starry Sky Live Platform headquarters.

As the first cooperation between Starry Sky and Academy of Sciences, although it was lunch break at this moment, most of Starry Sky's staff, from the CEO to employees of all departments, were watching Gu YuMian's live broadcast.

"Isn't the increase a little too terrifying? We didn't see such an increase when we started broadcasting Old K." Old K, a rabbit, was one of the top anchors of Starry Sky. One of the employees pointed to the upper right corner with lingering fear. "If he broadcasts live for three or five hours this time… Will it break the record?"

Another older leader shook his head, "No."

At first the man said, "Ah? He won't break the record?"

"…" The leader of the group who answered him was saying, "It won't take three or five hours. In two hours, wait and see."

The man, "…" Fuck.

However, the anchor was really powerful.

The project with the Academy of Sciences had been planned for a long time, but it had not been implemented because it was not suitable for anyone. On the one hand, the Academy of Sciences were somewhat arrogant and couldn't see many anchors. On the other hand, the content next to science education was more or less boring.

For any other anchor, even those top runners, it was good to maintain their usual popularity.

However, Gu YuMian not only kept up, but the data was still climbing. He ranked in the real-time popularity list and popularity of the day, and soon jumped up a lot.

On the other side, the Upper Urban District.

Gu YuMian was not affected by the data or the barrage, and still maintained the stable rhythm. He didn't know when it started to snow outside the window. The milky cheese in the small pot made a rumble and boiled. From time to time, a translucent bubble arched. The strong milk fragrance was scattered and made people's throats roll.

"I was just busy preparing the bottom of the pot before I could explain it," said Gu YuMian, holding the fox, Qiuqiu, a lazy snow leopard on his shoulder, and a sleeping baby in the buggy on his waist. He still kept stirring the cheese pot with a spoon in his other hand to prevent it from caking.

"The cheese fondue is similar to the Shouxi hotpot which was made before. It's a kind of hotpot. Hotpot is a style of food where you add processed ingredients into a boiling pot and cook them directly. There are different bottoms. Today's bottom is cheese, and the main ingredients are cheese and white wine."

[Little pudding: Eh, it sounds simple? Anchor, what are the ingredients?]

"It can be whatever you like," Gu YuMian said. "Of course, different pots have different suitable food. Because the cheese hotpot needs to be turned on with a small fire to prevent the cheese from being burnt, we usually deal with the meat and vegetable dishes first."

Cheese fondue was suitable for fruit and French bread, but it was not bad to eat with cooked meat. However, it couldn't be directly cooked like Chinese hotpot.

One part of the shrimp was directly shelled and pickled with cooking wine, the other part was sliced. The fat beef roll and pork belly were cut and sliced into rolls. They were cooked in hot water, and the chicken breast was also cooked in boiling water. Potatoes and broccoli were blanched in the hot water.

Just after the cheese pot was boiling, the bullet curtain began to fill with 'hurry up' and 'want to eat.' After waiting for several minutes, they felt tortured.

"Okay," Gu YuMian glanced at the bullet curtain and couldn't help laughing. "Don't worry, we'll have some soon. Are TuanTuan, YuanYuan and QiuQiu hungry?"

Afraid that the children couldn't wait, Gu YuMian first took a few pieces of raw chicken breast meat and with olive oil, fried them in the pan until they were slightly golden on both sides. Then he took the fried chicken breast meat slices and dipped them in the cheese, wrapped a thick layer of flowing cheese on both sides, cooled them and fed them to the fox and snow leopard with a spoon.

Little Tangyuan just woke up, and he also wanted to eat, but Gu YuMian was afraid that he would not digest it, so he only gave him some milk.

After a while.

Audience, "!"

The texture of cheese was very mellow. It was more sweet and refreshing when cooked with a fruit wine. After being fried, the chicken breast was tender inside, and then covered with a thick layer of hot cheese. The raw egg made the chicken breast keep it's most smooth and fresh state.

The rich and soft milk flavor of hot melted cheese, and the fresh and smooth chicken breast meat combined seamlessly. They could taste the cinnamon flavor and the brandy. After swallowing it, they were left with a mild aftertaste. It was delicious.

[Junior B: Aaaaaah! WTF! It's smooth and tender. Eat it more!]

[Sodas and Lemonade: Delicious, delicious, delicious! I want to say it out loud ten thousand times!]

[There's a Cloud: The taste of cheese and wine was very mellow after boiling. It's delicious after scalding the fried meat. Thank you for the delicious food brought by anchor. Ten fireworks are sent.]

[White Pear Blossom, Lili: I'm in a complex mood now. The cheese fondue was really delicious, but if MianMian doesn't make it, I won't have the chance to eat the original! Wuwu! This may become a regret I will never forget in my life. QAQ.]

It was just a chopstick of chicken breast, looking at the huge amount of ingredients behind Gu YuMian — shrimp, fish slices, French bread, carrots and potato pieces. They could imagine the combination of these ingredients and the cheese hotpot, and couldn't help themselves!

The number of online viewers rose another 10 million within a few minutes. His live studio was firmly rooted in the top three of the home page's real-time popularity list, and soon shortened the gap with second place. It was only a matter of time before second place was overtaken.

The little fox was curled up in Gu YuMian's arms with his big tail and chirped twice. He was introverted and shy, saying that it was delicious. Little Tangyuan looked at them with simple eyes, round and pitiful. Gu YuMian leaned down and kissed his forehead.

The little snow leopard looked at all this and was very unhappy. He pressed his paw on Gu YuMian's palm, and the long tail circled Gu YuMian's neck to arouse his attention as he silently urged him to feed him.

Gu YuMian's heart melted, "Okay, let's start eating now. Let me get the double boiler and ingredients out… By the way, I almost forgot to prepare some for the Academy of Sciences."

The Academy of Sciences was worthy of being called the Academy of Sciences, and those who worked there were highly intelligent. Gu YuMian had made the cheese fondue by himself the first time. When he did it again, he hardly needed to do it by himself a second time. He only needed to check the key points, and other small robots would help him. In a few minutes, three more cheese fondue pots were boiling hot.

He didn't know if they would accept it, so Gu YuMian only made three more pots. Gu YuMian decided to take his cheese fondue and put it down first, and then asked the Academy of Sciences if they wanted to eat too.

Holding the pot and ingredients, he couldn't hold the little fox. The little fox was so sensible that he went down and helped to push little Tangyuan's pram outside. Gu YuMian had never had such a clever and sensible baby, and was immediately moved.

Snow Leopard, "…"

His long tail shook unhappily. It seemed to be too late to show his sensible side now. He could only lay down, depressed.

[There's a family in the mine: It's suddenly sour in the Academy of Sciences. Wuwuwuwu! I'm shedding lemon like saliva over the thought of them eating it.]

[Face Rolling Keyboard, E-racing Pig: I thought that the Academy of Sciences was very cold, will they like it? (Although I don't think any creature can refuse the delicious food MianMian makes.) Besides, I heard that they don't rest at noon, just eat some fast food and continue to work.]

The audience was also worried about it. What if the anchor was embarrassed by the big guys' collective refusal or indifference? After all, it was the most powerful workaholic group in the whole universe.

Gu YuMian was now at the door.

The sensing door "beeped" as both sides opened—

In the next second.

At the same time, hundreds of eyes responded to the fact that Gu YuMian walked out. and he was surrounded by attentive and enthusiastic workers. The small third-floor lounge was full of people. Among them were the scientists' Gu YuMian met when he visited in the morning, and many others he did not see.

Gu YuMian and audience, "…"

It was winter now and many heating devices had been added to the lounge and dining room of the Academy of Sciences. The original tables and chairs had also been transformed into heats — the ground also resembled Japanese tatami, with several cushions placed around the floor so they could sit cross-legged and eat.

There were potted plants separating the privacy space between the table and the hall. The design was very humanized.

Gu YuMian put down the pot, the small stove and the plate with ingredients on the table he had ordered, and laid a mat for the three children to sit down one by one, and then turned around.

…This group of the most powerful scientists in the whole universe were still watching him.

Gu YuMian was confused at first, but a moment later he suddenly got a flash of inspiration. It was lunchtime, and everyone sat quietly without doing anything. Were they waiting for him to cook?

He managed to find a familiar face within the crowd. It was Mr. Lin, the leader of the ancient books restoration group. Gu YuMian had shaken hands with him when he visited the place earlier. He walked up to Old Lin and whispered, "Uncle Lin, what are you waiting for? If you don't mind, I've made a few extra casseroles of cheese fondue, as well as ingredients. If anyone wants to — "

When Old Lin heard the 'Uncle Lin', he was totally comfortable and didn't have time to answer.

Originally, within ten meters of the square, all people had their ears up. They were listening to Gu YuMian carefully. At this moment, there are all kinds of voices and casual coughs immediately throughout the room:

"I forgot to bring lunch today."

"Yes, I forgot to bring it too!"

"What's cooking in the back kitchen in such cold weather? It's very fragrant… "

Gu YuMian, "…" He couldn't help laughing. "I'll ask the back kitchen robot to help me make more pots later," Gu YuMian counted the number of people and said, "Can someone help me with it?"

The room was quiet for a moment, and in the next second, the constant noise sounded again:

"I'll take it." Old Lin was in a hurry.

The leader of the other group pushed him aside, "Old Lin, you are not strong enough, I will help. Young anchor, can you leave your contact information? I have a friend who wants to know you."

"I'm strong, anchor, that… Can I shake your hand?"

"…"

Twenty minutes later.

The room was quiet again, except for the crisp sound of the collision between bowls and plates, the bubbling sound of the cheese pot, the sound of washing down food with a drink, and the sound of everyone talking quietly while eating.

This short episode did not reduce the heat of the studio but instead made the atmosphere more heated.

[Hardcore: Hahahaha! ]

[afuhuv: The research tycoons are so cute. I thought they were very cold. Aren't they just like cats after meeting MianMian? [.jpg]]

[Throwing Cosmetics: I will study hard now and strive to go to the Academy of Sciences later! I'm really sour that they get to eat the cheese fondue made by MianMian! However! I'm happy to watch the live broadcast. What's next? I want to eat that white block!]

From the very beginning, the little fox covered his eyes with his little claws and was ashamed of the actions of his subordinates in front of Gu YuMian.

"What do you want, QiuQiu?" Gu YuMian scratched his chin, took a fork and slid a piece of shrimp over the cheese pot, then fed it to his mouth, "Open your mouth, ah — "

Gu YuMian tried to treat everyone equally without discrimination. He fed the little fox and the little snow leopard, who was still unhappy, and the baby panda.

Shrimp was easy to cook and could cook from the heat on the cheese. There was a layer of cheese attached to the surface. The crispness of shrimp was further set off by the freshness of fruit wine and cheese, which was fresh and fragrant.

After the shrimp was sliced, He moved to the fresh and smooth white fish fillet. First, he had added lemon juice and fried it on the baking tray. The skin was soft and burnt yellow. Then, he baked it in the cheese pot. The fried fish fillet was wrapped in mellow and thick cheese. It was another delicious feeling.

Besides meat, there were fruits, vegetables, and bread.

"In fact, these are the best things for cheese fondue."

Gu YuMian stabbed a piece of whole wheat bread into the cheese pot, and then picked up the bread with the hot cheese dripping off of it; the soft taste was unforgettable. There were also sweet and crisp radish pieces, sticky and sweet boiled potatoes…

[Gentle Rabbit: Aaaaaah! Why is everything so delicious? Great!]

[TGX771: +1]

[Xiaoxiong Fluorescent Pen: It's really delicious! It's too delicious to send a barrage. I'm afraid I'll miss one!]

The audience had been stunned by the delicious food coming in turn, without any aesthetic fatigue. They had painted the bullet screen with all kinds of gifts for a long time.

The broadcast's popularity was soaring wildly. At this time, it ranked second in the home page's real-time popularity list.

Different ingredients were different delicacies, but they were all unified using the mellow flavor of cheese, milk, and wine, which was the charm of a fondue.

The little fox ate from Gu Yuamian's hand, and looked at him with wet eyes, making a "chirp" sound of expectation. Because the atmosphere was very safe and leisurely, the round head of the baby panda rubbed against Gu YuMian's palm.

The little snow leopard's paw pad pressed against Gu YuMian's neck, and his long tail circled Gu YuMian's wrist to ask him to look at him.

Gu YuMian, "…" Why are they all so cute?

On this winter afternoon, he chatted with his family while eating the hot and fragrant cheese fondue, which made people sleepy.

"I'll say goodbye and we will go home for a nap." Gu YuMian held the paw of the snow leopard, pinched the small paw pad, and beckoned the little fox to help him manage his big fluffy tail. "Will QiuQiu stay in the Academy of Sciences? By the way, where is your home…"

Gu YuMian was a little reluctant. After thinking about it, he wanted to change to another topic. Little Tangyuan lay on Gu YuMian's knee, and Gu YuMian rubbed his soft belly, "YuanYuan is not full? What else would you like to eat?"

The baby panda yawned and whined twice, happy to say that he still wanted to eat, but also wanted to sleep. Gu YuMian could not help bending his eyes.

Their seats were by the window, and they could see the snow outside the window as it stacked, layer upon layer as it fell. They were heated by the furnace, and it added a crackling noise. The atmosphere of the live broadcast also fell back to the most comfortable point from just being exciting and enthusiastic. It was firmly controlled by Gu YuMian.

The air was filled with the scent of cheese fondue, mixed with the smell of charcoal, old leather paper, and cinnamon.

The little snow leopard lazily lay on Gu YuMian's shoulder. The baby panda and little fox were huddled in Gu YuMian's arms as they began to doze off. He held them and touched the two. Gu YuMian was a person who could easily remind people of the word 'home.'

The gentle magnetic field belonging to Gu YuMian fell around the whole space.

Most people had only thought of such a winter in their hearts.

Surrounding a small fireplace, the family sitting around it, chatting while watching the snowfall. When sleepy and comfortable, they could go to sleep. After waking up, if the snow stopped, they could have a snow fight. If it didn't stop, they would continue to idle away.

The atmosphere of the barrage became unusually peaceful.

[White Pear Blossom, Lili: I love the winter brought by MianMian. When will the winter come to the Lower Urban District? ]

[Hometown Spring and Autumn: I want to see the snow. I miss home! QAQ]

However, even if the atmosphere was so peaceful and gentle, the flow from artificial recommendation and a natural recommendation was still continuously led to the live room. In addition, there were also spontaneous recommendations from the audience. Due to the strong audience's stickiness, the final result was extremely amazing.

The number and popularity of the audience was still rising, 80 million, 90 million—

Gu YuMian's ranking in the real-time popularity list on the homepage soon became first place!

First place…

This meant that, at this moment, on the entire Starry Sky Platform, Gu YuMian's live studio was the most popular. This included all the top-ranked anchors that were still on the air, suggesting that they were not as good as him.

At the same time, Gu YuMian's live studio's popularity of the day and even the total popularity of this week also soared through the roof. The audience's response across the screen was so good, let alone the researchers who were close to Gu YuMian.

This group of workaholics were all doing experiments and research that would make them uncomfortable for several days and nights. Before, it was difficult to take a nap and sit down quietly for a meal. But at this moment, when they were almost done eating the hot fondue, they felt sleepy and were unable to resist the attack.

But it was a little cold indoors in winter, and since it was not their own home, there was a sense of insecurity.

But there was a different corner in the room.

At the same time, people instinctively judged that it seemed very warm and suitable for taking a nap.

"…"

Little Tangyuan had fallen asleep, and the little fox was drowsy. Only the little snow leopard was in a bad mood as he domineeringly occupied Gu YuMian's arms.

Gu YuMian held up the snow leopard and let him lie on his shoulder, intending to get up and clean up the table. In that second, he was caught by something near his feet.

He bowed his head.

A little white rabbit 1 was curled up at his feet and sleeping. Then a Shiba Inu 2 squeezed into his arms and fell asleep. The ragdoll cat 3 was next to the Shiba Inu with his claws tucked up. The entire small quilt, with Gu YuMian at the center, was full of many large and small animals. It was almost spectacular how they were pressed up against each other.

All the other seats were empty and not even one researcher could be seen.

It could be called a large-scale human attraction site.

Gu YuMian finally understood what was going on. In spite of some embarrassment, he could not help adore this large group of plush people covering his nose.

"…"

The little snow leopard, "…"

Chapter 45: Can I be Your Mascot?

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Editor: Sulo just wants to eat Gu YuMian's cooking

[Bright Red Meow: What the fuck? Hahahahahahaha? The anchor and the cubs in this picture hit me.]

[Cat's Meow: It's sour. Who doesn't want to take a nap next to MianMian? QAQ I see him across the screen every day. When can I see him offline? It's too hard.]

[Passer-by A: Who thought 'magnetic human'? Talented.]

[Soda No. 1: It turns out that reading can really change fate. At least the big guys have done what more than 90 million people want to do but can't. If I had scored a few hundred points more, I would have been the bird with him now?! ]

Gu YuMian was sitting by the window near the heater. The window was full of snow and the sky showed a winter afternoon. There was still white steam from the pots in the room.

There was a small dimple near the lips of the gentle and handsome human youth as he gave a light smile. In his arms, lying on his shoulders, and lying beside him were many large or small fluffy balls. This scene was too interesting and warm.

It was like a soft Japanese movie screenshot.

Through the lens, the audience looked at the people who were showing their bellies and were sleeping, soft and cute without any vigilance. Then they thought about the appearance of the Academy of Sciences in the news reports and various press conferences…

Because of the spontaneous recommendation of the audience, all kinds of beautiful screenshots without being fixed started to fly into circles of friends. And then were sent to micro blogs by the masses who did not know the truth.

[Is this a poster for a movie? The little brother and the cubs are so beautiful that I am in tears! [picture] I'll watch it after it's released! ]

The screenshot was uploaded to the Internet, and even if there was no 'Academy of Sciences' tag, it quickly broke through ten thousand shares. At noon, when the micro-blog's traffic soared, it rushed all the way to the hot search.

This was pushing up the popularity of Gu YuMian's studio, which many people thought had reached the peak, and the audience from all major media platforms began a new round of crazy influx!

The other side.

Gu YuMian was really happy since he liked small animals by nature. This kind of scene almost made him feel like he was dreaming. But soon, two coughs sounded from Capital Star's Vinegar King. If he didn't coax the little leopard, he would be grumpy again.

He leaned over and put the little white rabbit, with his ears closed, to sleep beside him. The silly Shiba Inu, who had been sleeping with his feet up to the sky, was also carried to the cushion, making room for the leopard.

The little snow leopard watched coldly as he did all this.

"TuanTuan," Gu YuMian picked up the snow leopard and touched his forehead and back. He found that it had little effect, so he could only kiss his soft claws, and at the same time pacify him, "Everyone is tired. It's two o'clock after lunch break. Let's rest."

The Academy of Sciences researchers liked to stay up late. They would take an hour's nap at noon and then get up to work. After that, they would be much better.

The little snow leopard was unmoved and looked away indifferently. He curled up his long tail lazily, with a look of haughtiness, no matter how sour he was on the surface. The fat, round and rolling black-and-white bear was stupid and coupled with a stupid fox, it made him very reluctant. Sleeping on the ground, what was that?

Obviously it was a human thing, couldn't he be specific?

Can't you like just me?

"…TuanTuan," he said softly, holding the snow leopard in his arms and rubbing his chin against his small, fluffy head, "I like you best."

Like you… like you best.

The little snow leopard's breathing was sluggish.

Xue Tuan was different. He was the only reason Gu YuMian had been wandering for thousands of years to settle down in the future world. Just as Gu YuMian gave the little snow leopard a home, so did the little snow leopard. Later, he had the motivation to do a live broadcast, met YuanYuan and Qiuqiu, and was seen and liked by many people, going further.

The young man's voice was soft and clean, and his breath was low and light. When he heard him speak gently, it was like he accidentally picked up the sweetest sugar in the world.

Because it was really sweet, he was reluctant to eat, and wanted to hold it in the palm of his hand, afraid of it melting. He wanted to hold the sugar carefully and not let anyone else covet it, but also wanted to show it off to the world. His brain stopped and his heart beat fast and stalled. He wanted to take all the stars and the moon out of the sky for him.

Once again he was so easily coaxed.

The little snow leopard closed his grey-blue eyes and curled up in Gu YuMian's arms. The little ears, which had been haughty and erect, were drooping down, a little nervous, impatient and arrogant.

"…"

Since both the fox and the baby panda were asleep, the audience was almost bewildered by this series of critical attacks, because they didn't know when they had switched back to the perspective of the snow leopard.

[White Pear Blossom, Lili: Groundhog 1 shriek! Aaaaaaaaaaah!? ]

[Throwing Cosmetics: MianMian seems to be saying that he likes me the most? I can't. I'm dizzy. I'm out of oxygen. This man is so foul!]

[aduhux: Shit, it's a little hot in my nose. Anchor just killed me!]

[Crown: Critical hit! I'm dead! Why do I see a red face when I watch the live broadcast? Just now my deskmate asked me if I was in love, awsl!]

Maybe it was because the mood was just right, just like boiling water at its critical point, the dizzy mood spread in the minds of those watching. There was a kind of satisfaction and sweetness that made people want to explode into fireworks.

The barrage was bursting out!

Gu YuMian looked at the bullet screen for a while, then he took back his sight, smiled and eased down the warm atmosphere without any effort. He carried the calm snow leopard in his arms, quietly asked the robot to help put away the table. Then he turned off the indoor lights, drew the curtains, and kept the heater on.

He gently moved the fluffy people who were snoring to a more comfortable position one by one, covered the cold children with blankets, and left a soft cushion for the fat ones. Finally, he sat cross legged back in his original position, holding the snow leopard, fox and baby panda, just like when he was at home.

The little fox fell asleep and found the right place in Gu YuMian's arms with two good chirps. Little Tangyuan lay on his stomach and slept. He hugged Gu YuMian's hand and gave him a grumble.

The room was quiet, with only the sound of the animals breathing regularly, and the small fire crackling. The sky light reflected the snow and was shining through the curtains, causing the light of the small stove to be warm and bright.

Following Gu YuMian's movements, the audience could not help but feel entranced.

The originally high mood and intense feeling took a few minutes to quiet down.

The audience was watching from the little snow leopard's perspective. His vision, smell and hearing were synchronized with theirs. At this moment, their heart seemed to be immersed in some warm spring air.

And then, their line of sight darkened.

Their hearing became clearer and clearer. They could hear the young man's even and gentle breathing and heartbeat with a sense of security. It seemed that there were some subtle noises in the wind. Gradually, their hearing grew completely quiet.

Gu YuMian reached for the snow leopard's eyes, and his voice seemed to overflow with a light smile. He helped close his eyes and kissed his little ears, "Mn, it's lunch break." He said, "Don't worry. I'll call you when it's time to get up. Sleep."

The little snow leopard's ear rubbed against Gu YuMian's jaw, closed his eyes, and his long tail circled Gu YuMian's wrist.

[There's a family in the mine: I love Mianmian so much. What can I do if I want to live in this kind of atmosphere all my life?! ]

[Tiger: Turn off the light, cover with a quilt, imagine yourself lying next to the anchor, and start sleeping.]

All Gu YuMian did was to create hints and the atmosphere. All possible interference of the external environment had been eliminated. There was no noise and no one would disturb them. It was very quiet and safe here, so—

Go to sleep.

The barrage was completely quiet and had calmed down.

However, the popularity was not affected, and it was still soaring with a very terrifying momentum.

—The audience had reached 120 million.

This not only refreshed Gu YuMian's personal data record, but also surpassed nearly ninety percent of the all star anchors, keeping the most popular spot steadily.

At first, Gu YuMian started all the way in the back, then broke into third, second and finally earned the most popular anchor of the day on the front page.

4 p.m.

Gu YuMian's visit to the Academy of Sciences was about to come to a close. While everyone was reluctant to let him leave, he left his prepared small gifts to say goodbye to everyone, and left the Academy of Sciences.

Gu YuMian was also reluctant to leave, mainly because of the little fox. But aides and colleagues had repeatedly stressed that the fox was the mascot of the Academy of Sciences, and was very important to the Academy of Sciences — and Gu YuMian was just a strange. Why would he keep the child around him? This was not reasonable in itself.

Finally, he said goodbye.

While there were some small mishaps, he enjoyed the visit. Not only had the popularity of Gu YuMian's live broadcast raised to a higher level, but also the purpose of publicity for science popularization was very successful.

In the afternoon, the Academy of Sciences received resumes from all over the interstellar worlds. Not only that, but also the degree of discussion and recognition among the people was high. From the beginning of the 'high cold scientific research workaholic' to the present 'fluffy, smart and lovely, but also very kind', it could be said that the transformation was earth shaking. It was all due to Gu YuMian and the 'movie poster' that became popular on the Internet.

From noon to now, the picture was still hanging on the hot search, and people kept asking when it would be released.

The comments were along the lines of,

[I can 555, the little immortal brother.]

[I'm longing for this atmosphere.]

[If it's a holographic movie, the effect must be super.]

[Squatting and squatting.]

[Is this in the Academy of Sciences?! Goodbye, everyone. I'm going to submit my resume.]

"It's not all for the anchor," said the chief assistant, looking through the resumes and letters. "It's really nice…"

There were not a small number of people who really wanted to work at the Academy of Sciences through this live broadcast. They either had a strong interest in it, or they had learned the real atmosphere of Academy of Sciences through the interaction between Gu YuMian and everyone there—

Although their main focus was on experiments, the atmosphere among colleagues was very relaxed, and their overall characters were a little dull, but people did not feel excluded even from thousands of miles away. Especially when everyone in the middle was trying to sit and wait for Gu YuMian to bring out the fondue, their expressions and postures were a little embarrassing and uniform, which made the audience think that they were lovely and adorable.

"…"

The little fox lay on his assistant's desk and gave a feeble chirp. The assistant thought that it was because he left Gu YuMian and was unable to lift his spirits. So the assistant comforted him in a low voice, "Anchor Gu is still in the Upper Urban District. There is something else he needs to do. He can visit the next week."

Arctic fox kit, "Chi."

"Eh, the chief hasn't changed back?" A colleague nearby asked, "There will be another experiment in a moment. Yesterday's work has not been completed."

The little fox turned over and stood up. His little claws stepped on the light screen and chirped more seriously.

Aides and colleagues, "What?!"

Half an hour later.

The leader of the group put down the instrument, and finally came to the conclusion, "You can't change back for a while."

Everyone in the room had different looks.

The light screen was projected in the air, showing the brain structure of the fox. The brain structure of a superbrain was complex, but the mechanism of pressure release was not so advanced as that of ordinary people. Since the age of five, this superbrain had been overworked and had not taken a day off for ten years.

Maybe meeting Gu YuMian was an opportunity, but they didn't know whether it was good or bad.

In addition to a very small number of races, the abilities and mental power of most creatures in animal form would be greatly weakened, especially the cubs under the age of twenty. This was also the reason why interstellar people generally hated humans but still maintained a human form.

It meant that the little fox's super brain ability was almost equal to none, and couldn't keep up with the experiment and work rhythm of others. He couldn't work in the Academy of Sciences for the moment, or even research and work hard for so long.

There was sympathy and sadness for the child sitting in the middle.

Little fox looked a little lost.

"…"

It was not what many people thought.

First, he was at a loss, and then what came up was not sad regrets, but relaxed and secret happiness. But he didn't show it on the surface and just kept quiet. After more than ten years of research, he suddenly found that he didn't want to be the Chief of the Academy of Sciences, which many people adored, but just wanted to be a child.

Gu YuMian's child.

That was what the leader of the biology team said — he was a well deserved expert in this field, and he was probably not going to change for the time being.

"Is he really a human being? No powers?" The group leader looked at the screen and thought it was strange. The chief's mental state seemed to be affected by another power, but none of the thousands of powers that were known to be registered would have such an effect or ability.

No one had ever heard of a human who had awakened a power before.

But that little anchor was really special. If he woke up his powers and even mental power, the team leader wouldn't be surprised. At the same time, he didn't have such keen insight. When he was eating the cheese fondue before, there was a small amount of spiritual energy that flowed through every bite.

Everyone was thinking about their own affairs for a while, and never mentioned where the chief was going. Maybe they didn't know how to mention it. It had only been a short time since he was elected. Was it necessary to change the chief?

And it was not forever. It was just temporary, right?

"What now?"

As soon as the problem came up, everyone was silent.

After returning to the residence, the baby panda turned left and right, and didn't see the little fox, Bai Qiu. He thought he had lost the fox, scratched his belly in a daze and at a loss, held Gu YuMian's palm in his paw, and made a sound.

"What's going on?" Gu YuMian quickly guessed the meaning of the baby panda. Although they only got along for less than one day, the relationship between the two children was very good. Because the little snow leopard was arrogant, it was not easy to play with other cubs. On the contrary, when the little fox came, the baby panda felt he had gained a playmate of the same age.

"QiuQiu has gone home," Gu YuMian was reluctant to give up, holding up the fat little Tangyuan and touching his head. "We will stay for a few more days, and then we will invite him to come home to play, okay?"

The baby panda was stunned, stuffed himself into Gu YuMian's arms, sucked his claws, wronged, and nodded his head cleverly. This was a rare time for little Tangyuan to be unhappy.

Gu YuMian had no choice.

He would stay for a few more days, because the '24 Wok' had not been settled yet. The relatives were in the Upper Urban District, but where should he find such a big person in the Upper Urban District? Besides, Gu YuMian also cared about Shuo Han.

He didn't know if he would have a chance to see Shuo Han again in the next few days.

Anyway, the pass had one week's permission, so he'd stay a few more days.

The little snow leopard glanced at him lightly. This time, he was not jealous at all. He just lay down lazily on Gu YuMian's shoulder. Gu YuMian glanced at his watch. At 7 p.m., he planned to go out to go around the Upper Urban District. It was 4:30 p.m. and a little early for dinner.

That's when Elbet Restaurant called him, "Mr. Gu, I have sent the business reports of the past few days to you. Please check them."

Gu YuMian clicked to check the business report and was finally a little happy. Compared with the previous low period, the turnover of Elbet Restaurant had skyrocketed in recent days. The main thing was that there were many customers who made repeated visits. Some people came to the restaurant for meals all three days. Moreover, there were investors who wanted to inject capital.

The Dongpo meat sales were particularly good. They could take advantage of this momentum to launch new dishes and fight for a successful turnaround.

"Would you like to think about something new? It's just that there's still a little time."

Gu YuMian took a deep breath at the soft neck of the snow leopard, and soon decided.

Anyway, being idle was also boring. If he was idle, he would think about whether the little fox was unhappy in the Academy of Sciences and whether there was someone to take care of it… He was afraid he might steal the child in the middle of the night. He'd better do something to distract himself.

"Yangzhou fried rice? 2 Sliced Boiled Pork with Garlic Sauce? 3 Pork ribs with rice and sauce?" 4

Gu YuMian thought about his own food, took out the existing ingredients, thawed them and arranged them neatly.

… Rice ribs were good.

They were crispy and delicious, succulent and thick. It was relatively simple and was not as demanding as boiled pork with garlic sauce. Just like Dongpo pork, the key point of glutinous ribs was to prepare for marinating in the early stage. After processing, he just needed to control the temperature and time for steaming.

Glutinous rice was one of the new harvests Gu YuMian found after going to the Academy of Sciences this time. The Academy of Sciences had cultivated the extinct glutinous rice 5, but still didn't know how to use it for cooking. Many glutinous rice grains had been sent to Gu YuMian.

Gu YuMian thought, and put all the glutinous rice in cold water. At the same time, he held the knife to shred the ginger, cut the green pepper into small pieces, pat it with the back of the knife. He washed the synthetic ribs and cut them into small sections, mixed the salt and the soy sauce, grabbed glutinous rice flour, sprinkled the black pepper and marinated for half an hour.

He soaked the soft glutinous rice and added the chopped green pepper in a special high-pressure device and mixed them with sesame oil.

When he was not live, Gu YuMian was quick to deal with ingredients. He didn't want to starve his children. But this time he was a little slow. He was thinking while doing it, and occasionally couldn't help but sigh. His chin rubbed against the baby snow leopard's fluffy head, and he let the baby panda lean into his arms.

Gu YuMian took out a lotus leaf, put on gloves, evenly spread a layer of white and round sticky rice on the lotus leaf after being soaked, put the marinated ribs on top, and evenly wrapped the sticky rice over the ribs.

At this time, Gu YuMian's ears moved, and suddenly heard a slight noise at the door.

The little snow leopard opened his grey-blue eyes and looked at the door. The baby panda, who was a little down, also blinked, rolled up suddenly, and gave Gu YuMian two chirps. He didn't know what he wanted to express.

Someone knocking at the door? No, standing at the door?

Gu YuMian hesitated for a moment, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. He left the children in the same place and went to open the door.

The wooden door opened slowly.

A big fluffy tail with silver gray tip and soft white hair. The little fox sat upright, with a bit of formality and shyness while shaking his tail, "Ji."

Can I be your mascot?

Chapter 46: Tonkotsu Ramen

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Editor: Sulo is happy that all three cubs are together with Gu YuMian

Almost at the same second the live broadcast came on air, thousands of people immediately swarmed in. In the blink of an eye, the audience crossed six figures, and the barrages swarmed in one by one.

[There's a family in the mine: MianMian's on air! I said, as long as you live long, what is waiting? Was that the hot spring in chaikeshan? Looking forward to it! ]

[Vivian: The live broadcast of the first two days was too short, isn't it so short today?! The Academy of Sciences is so popular that it can take advantage of the popularity of his live broadcast. It's getting shorter. Please don't be so unpopular. How about us? QAQ]

[Brown Sea 53: Short for the first two days + 1. So what are you going to eat today? And what about the hot springs? 5555 I collapsed happily on the sofa with my bare head in my arms.]

[Green Tea Milk Flower: New people enter the pit and punch in the card.]

Within five minutes, a large number of spectators poured in, reaching more than eight million.

"We'll try to stay live for a long time today," Gu YuMian said, not expecting everyone's deep complaints about the previous two days of live broadcast. "We'll make something delicious tonight and hold a lottery, okay?"

[Fuck, a lottery?!]

[I'll listen to you.]

[I didn't expect that! 555!]

[With such a popular anchor, it would be okay to do more.]

Of course, there was a matching kitchen in the parent-child room, but Gu YuMian didn't plan to make a complicated dinner.

Octopus and Tonkotsu ramen 1— it was easy to make more ramen. It was also a pleasure to have a bowl of hot ramen after being in a hot spring

"Well, let's not talk much. Let's start."

Of course, it was important to boil some pork bone broth until it was fresh and mellow. This synthetic pork bone was also one of the new gains from Gu YuMian going to the Academy of Sciences. Gu YuMian cleaned the pork bones, added enough water, boiled them over the hot fire, and soon, a layer of impurities floated on the surface.

About to grab a long spoon to skim the froth, he turned to see the baby fox holding the long spoon with two small front claws. He handed it to Gu YuMian, shyly lowering his eyes as he was touched by Gu YuMian.

"Thank you, QiuQiu."

Since the very sensible little fox came to his family, Gu YuMian's tasks became a lot easier.

Since the baby panda was too naive and slow to do anything, Gu YuMian was reluctant to let him help. When the little snow leopard first came, Gu YuMian would serve him and help him later, but he was not as understanding as the little fox.

The snow leopard's face was expressionless, "…"

Gu YuMian carried the snow leopard, who was obviously sour again, into his arms. He sometimes felt that he had a fox, a panda cub and a lemon.

He didn't expect that the audience would begin to play with emojis, and brush a series of 'I am as sour as Xue Tuan.'

In addition to the delicious food and Gu YuMian himself, many of the audience members came for the atmosphere of Gu YuMian's home, and the warm interactions between Gu YuMian and the children.

Gu YuMian also smiled, and went on to the next step. He added two spoonfuls of vinegar to the pot to make it fresh. He sliced onion, ginger and garlic, cut them into sections for seasoning, added two pieces of ham, and then boiled it over a low heat. At the same time, he explained, "Ham is naturally salty, so there is no need to add salt."

Bone broth produced a light, medium and thick texture. Gu YuMian did an action that the audience did not expect.

—Instead of making broth, he fished out the pork bones and ham with a slotted spoon, and put the remaining bone broth directly into the refrigerator for cold storage. On Ancient Earth it would be refrigerated for a day. Now it was enough to set the parameters for half a minute. When he took it out, the bone soup turned into a translucent jelly.

Gu YuMian carefully skimmed the solidified oil off of the surface of the 'jelly' with a spoon, and then explained, "In this way, the soup and oil can be separated, and the final soup will be more refreshing, and the less fat you take, the healthier you will be…" He helped little Tangyuan knead his belly with some heartache. YuanYuan couldn't get any more fat.

The baby panda held Gu YuMian's palm and was at a loss, 'What's going on?'

More or less, the audience had guessed what was happening and there was another kind of "hahaha" on the screen.

It didn't take long for Gu YuMian's live studio to be on the homepage's real-time popularity list again. His popularity began to soar on Friday, and while the traffic began to soar, it climbed all the way to the top.

He put the jelly like soup into the pot, heated it and boiled it. When it was boiling and making bubbling sounds, he even poured in half a box of fresh cream.

The bone broth and fresh cream were evenly mixed and the milky, thick soup was steaming. Soon there was a strong and mellow fragrance coming from the pot.

Author has something to say:

Sorry for the short chapter. I don't feel very well. Will make up for it in the next chapter.

From the ExR gang to Addis: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Chapter 47: Eating Tonkotsu Ramen

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Editor: Sulo also loves Capital Star's Vinegar King

"Adding half a box of fresh cream will make the soup more mellow. If you have a lactose-intolerant family member, you can use lactose-free synthetic milk. I'm adding synthetic cream this time." Gu YuMian, holding a long spoon and stirring, explained. He used to eat Ramen in his last life, but couldn't make the same taste and color at home. He asked the manager of a Japanese restaurant before he understood this part of the process.

The milky, thick soup was boiled in the pot with a gentle fire, and sometimes a small bubble popped on the surface. The flavors of the ham and pork bone were immersed in it. The weak milk flavor further purified the fresh thick bone broth, and a small sip of it made people want to swallow their tongue. 1

The soup was almost finished at this stage. It was time to prepare the noodles and side dishes.

But Gu YuMian couldn't help but give the three children, and the audience, a spoonful for each child to taste. The mouthful of the emulsified bone soup flowed into the throat from the lips and teeth, leaving a long aftertaste

The little fox and baby panda looked at each other, and at the same time, their eyes went round! The baby panda arched his round head into Gu YuMian's arms and asked for another taste. The little snow leopard was still reserved. He only raised his chin and rubbed his head against Gu YuMian's palm.

[User 1467: Aaaaah! ]

[Liang Chen Yue: WTF, so good to drink, strong and not greasy! It is too great! Aaaaaah!]

If one used such a fresh soup to cook noodles, it would be a bit outrageous!

Anyone who knows a little bit about cooking knows that noodles will puff up the soup and destroy the original taste of the soup. Most people also acquiesced that the soup and noodles didn't need to be perfect. It was a bit outrageous to cook noodles with such fresh and mellow soup.

"Don't worry," Gu YuMian said, shaking his head with a smile. "It will taste better after you try the ramen."

The three elements of Japanese Ramen were the soup base, noodles, and side dishes. Next, he would prepare the noodles and side dishes.

The way the Japanese made noodles was basically the same as that in China. Gu YuMian put high gluten flour and salt into the bowl according to the proportions he remembered. Poured hot water into the bowl several times in one hand, and then mixed in the flour with the other hand. After the flour absorbed the clean water, it could be kneaded into a dough that had a smooth surface, and then saved off to the side. 2

"Let's cover it up with a wet towel and let it rest for a while."

After letting it rest, Gu YuMian divided the dough into several parts and quickly rubbed one of them into strips with dexterous fingers. After the dough had become a long strip, he cut it in half and applied oil. He pressed the dough with his fingers using the strength of his abdomen. He gathered his strength from the middle of the dough to both sides and rubbed it into a finer round strip one by one.

Oil was applied to both the board and the plate on which the noodles were to be placed. After the fine round noodles were piled on the plate, a layer of oil was added. After the noodles were dried, the two ends of the surface were grasped to evenly elongate the surface, and the surface was twisted from time to time on the board.

This series of movements seemed to be a little fun. The little snow leopard lowered his eyes from Gu YuMian's shoulder, and from time to time stretched out his claws to pull Gu YuMian's hand. The little fox and the baby panda also kept their eyes on him. The two front paws of the little fox were clasped and he looked as if he was bowing.

The little fox was shy and introverted, while the baby panda was charming and naive. But the two children's movements were very synchronous. The little snow leopard looked like he didn't care to be with them but was very curious and focused.

Gu YuMian thought they were so cute and he couldn't help looking at them. His heart was tickled by a cat's paw. If there was no flour on his hand, he really wanted to hold each one now. The young man's fingers were slender, white, and beautiful. He kneaded and made noodles by slowing down his movements, but the audience's focus obviously deviated.

[A good look at both hands]

[MianMian kneads the dough as if he is kneading a work of art]

[Want to hold anchor's hand.]

The little snow leopard was unhappy and circled Gu YuMian's wrist with his long tail.

"Okay," Gu YuMian washed his hands and wiped them. He shook the three children's paws in turn, rubbed their heads and hugged them again. "Can't wait? It'll be ready in a little while."

At this time, Gu YuMian's live studio had climbed to the top five of the homepage's real-time popularity list, with no stagnant trend. Moreover, this was the day with the most traffic, Friday night, and almost all the anchors that could broadcast live were doing so — this was totally different from the previous Academy of Sciences live broadcasting, which reached the top in real-time on a weekday.

The number of spectators had exceeded 40 million, and all kinds of shrapnel and gifts were flying!

"You don't have to give a lot of presents," Gu YuMian said helplessly. "It's better to save money and go out with your family… Well, let's make the side dishes."

[There's a family in the mine: Why are you so frank?!]

There were different opinions on the side dishes of Tonkotsu ramen. Gu YuMian liked the combination of beef, shrimp, bamboo shoots, green onions, seaweed, and soft boiled eggs.

It was not hard to deal with the beef and shrimp. He cut the beef tendon meat into large pieces, marinated them with cooking wine and soy sauce, scallions, ginger, and garlic, boiled it over high heat. Then he simmered it over low heat before cooling, refrigerating and slicing it. He washed the bamboo shoots, cut them into pieces, and blanched them, then coated them in vinegar.

The shrimp was more simple. He cut open the back, took out the vein, coated them with raw eggs, panko, and then fried them quickly. 3

Gu YuMian took a small fried shrimp and gave it to the baby panda who had been crying and acting like he was starving. The baby panda was immediately happy. After chewing it carefully, he held Gu YuMian's hand and chirped.

Gu YuMian thought about it and made soft boiled eggs.

The method of making soft boiled eggs was not complicated either. They were boiled with fish sauce, soy sauce, cooking wine and miso, and then cooled. This was the sauce he would serve on the side. Gu YuMian put some synthetic chicken stock in the pot and boiled it over medium heat for a while, then directly put the egg into cold water, peeled it, and soak it in the sauce. 4

"The cooking process for the chashu pork 5 is a little more complicated, and it is also the essence and focus of all the side dishes."

Gu YuMian chose the synthetic pork neck, which was fat and thin, and looked like plum blossoms. He cut the meat into many pieces with one hand holding the knife. With a turn of his fingers, he changed to the back of the knife to hit the meat on both sides and patted it gently.

"Patting it with the back of the knife is to make the meat tender and soft, which makes it easier to chew. The taste of the chashu is very important."

For marinating meat slices, Gu YuMian chose raw soy sauce and honey. The amber honey was boiled and melted into a syrup. It was thick and evenly spread on the meat slices together with the raw soy sauce. The sauce was mixed with salt, rose wine and cooking wine with sufficient dosages. The whole of the meat was almost covered with the honey sauce.

After cooling the meat down, he put it onto a baking tray and baked it. He turned it over and brushed the honey sauce over the meat several times while baking. During the roasting process, the fat layer in the pork neck meat melted, and the fat and thin meat slices made a crisp crackling sound.

The pork neck was roasted to a golden yellow on both sides, soft and juicy, with a glossy surface. The aroma of freshness and sweetness overflowed everywhere, making people's throat roll!

The nearly 50 million people and three children were stunned.

Gu YuMian set aside a small plate of chashu pork to cool and waited to let the children try it. Then, just before everyone could react, he cooked the noodles in the pot, fished them up, and drained them, then filled four bowls.

Each bowl was successively marked with red and bright beef, fried shrimp, golden and sweet chashu pork, bamboo shoots, and green onions. He spooned in the bubbling milky and fragrant Tonkotsu soup from the stove and poured it over the surface. Finally, he added two pieces of crispy seaweed and the soft boiled egg. The bowl of Tonkotsu Ramen was finished.

Under the warm light of the hot spring hotel in winter, a bowl of ramen noodles within milky white thick fragrant soup was steaming with heat, and all kinds of brightly colored side dishes were attractive and delicious. Looking at and listening to the crackle, the audience couldn't help salivating and having a big appetite

The audience, "!"

The barrage stagnated for a second, then flowed out madly!

[Throwing Cosmetics: My God, my imagination was poor. I can't imagine how delicious this is now!]

[User 18786: Please hurry up]

[Quilts: If you can cook, you can do more. Hurry up! I can't help it! I want to eat very much! ]

The little snow leopard couldn't maintain his pride. The gray-blue eyes, together with the little snow-white fox and the baby panda, stared at the bowl. They stretched out their claws and pressed them against Gu YuMian's wrist, and pushed him hastily. Gu YuMian held them and pinched them.

Gu YuMian asked the snow leopard to sit on his shoulder. First, he picked up the fox and the baby panda, went to the living room to sit near the stove, and then went back to the kitchen to serve the food.

"I'm sorry to have made you wait a long time. Let's have dinner now. We'll go to the hot spring and visit our neighbors later."

The three children were almost unable to sit down. Gu YuMian only slightly cooled down the soup to a lower temperature, so he fed each child a chopstick full of noodles and made them taste the side dishes.

—The noodles were full of the soup but were not soggy. They were still soft and smooth. The thick Tonkotsu broth soaked the taste buds along with the noodle and warmed the stomach from the throat all the way to the bottom. It was even better than their imagination by several times. The taste left a vibration on each person's spirit, as that mouthful was more than amazing!

What was more remarkable was the addition of the side dishes. The soy sauce beef was fragrant, soft and chewy, and soaked with the freshness of the soup; the soft boiled egg was like snow, and the yolk burst with flavor; the fried shrimp were thick and honey-colored, which dripped in the hot thick soup, and was soft and tender. The taste of the chashu was the finishing touch. The golden pork was soft and flavorful, oily but not greasy. It was delicious with a sweet, salty, and mellow taste after it was covered in the soup. The fresh and slightly sour dried bamboo shoots and scallions finished the soup off.

At this moment, the number of viewers had skyrocketed to over 70 million, and Gu YuMian's live studio had once again entered the top three popularity, and the barrage had reached a peak!

[Junior B: Brother, you're so amazing, isn't this too fragrant?!]

[Vivian: I'll go, I… I can't speak, is this delicious thing even real?!]

[Yang Hualuo: I've never sent a bullet comment after watching a live broadcast for so long. Now I can't help it. This is good to eat! I like the golden chashu. It's delicious to eat with the soup. I want to give a gift to anchor for the taste. Take away the fireworks!]

[Cat's Meow: MianMian has worked hard. This ramen is good to eat. How can eggs be so sweet and soft? I love what MianMian does every time. You may have been a noodle maker in your last life. Rose in September, fireworks for you! ]

[There's a Cloud: The soup is delicious and full-bodied. The noodles are delicious and perfect. Thank you for the delicious food from the anchor. Sending five fireworks.]

The little snow leopard's gray-blue eyes squinted contentedly, condescended to take the initiative to bow down and drink a sip of the soup. Gu YuMian pet the leopards back, and he could feel that the little snow leopard was lazy and comfortable. The baby panda was more direct, with a round head arched in Gu YuMian's arms, showing he liked it.

The little fox wagged his big fluffy tail and chirped, shyly putting his little head into Gu YuMian's palm, as if to say thank you for your hospitality.

Gu YuMian's heart was almost sweet.

Gifts and barrages went on and on, and his popularity and the atmosphere continued to peak.

Especially when Gu YuMian put the chashu and the soup still boiling in the pot into the fresh-keeping box, and said that these would be sent out to thirty spectators. They were all too excited.

Although it was thirty people out of 80 million viewers, and the probability was almost impossible, but what if they were one of the lucky ones?

Whether it was the audience, Gu YuMian, or the three cubs, it was a happy meal.

The whole atmosphere was too high for people to settle down because of the hot ramen, the tonkotsu on the pot, the warm heater, and the soft mat.

"YuanYuan eat slowly, don't choke yourself, there's more," Gu YuMian scratched the baby panda's chin, and pressed little Tangyuan's forehead with his fingers. "Mmm. After a while, let's rest and go to the hot spring. The pool is not deep. Don't make any noise."

There had never been any punishment in their family, such as 'withholding pocket money' and 'banning'. But surprisingly, the children were very obedient, even the most unruly and arrogant little snow leopard was obedient. Of course, there was a little mischief, but a big mistake had never been made.

Gu YuMian accompanied the children to dinner, with a little snow leopard lying on his shoulder, a round little Tangyuan, and a little fox in his arms. He talked about the hot spring for a while and the plan for the next two days. Everything was arranged properly.

The mood of the audience was also a little gentle and relaxed. In the delicious taste of ramen in winter, the sudden taste of life was very light but very fragrant and long.

It was a wonderful feeling, very satisfying, very reassuring.

They were looking forward to every second.

The wooden houses and lanterns of Wenquan Villa were also made of paper. There was no snow on this winter night. Through the window, they could see the bright moon hanging high in the sky. Inside, there was the steaming white air and the fragrance of Tonkotsu ramen. They could smell the warm smell of sulfur from the outdoor hot spring.

The number of visitors continued to rise rapidly, and now it was about to reach 90 million. Once again, Gu YuMian was ranked first on the homepage's real-time popularity list!

The hot spring villa focused on their hot springs. Each small house had a small private hot spring, which could be used without bathing with strangers. In the evening, the hot spring would be prepared automatically. Towels and plum wine would be put on the poolside by a small robot and there was spring water available on the side.

Of course, this private hot spring was not the legendary 'energy son' hot spring. It was just a common hot spring for guests to take a bath and relax. But Gu YuMian didn't like the bath agent prepared here very much.

"I'm sorry, I'm going to prepare the bath agent and take some time to do so. I'll cut off the live broadcast for the moment and take you to the hot spring later."

The bath should have been taken before cooking, but, at that time, everyone was hungry so Gu YuMian chose to cook first.

After all, they were going to be at the hot springs for two days. Another part of Gu YuMian's luggage was sent, and because there were items that needed to be separately certified, this part would be done without an audience.

Gu YuMian would try to avoid divulging other people's privacy during live broadcasting, so outdoor live broadcasting was chosen at places where no one was, or rarely at all. The audience all said they would wait for him, and then watched as Gu YuMian's broadcast turned off reluctantly.

"TuanTuan, YuanYuan, and QiuQiu will wait for me here, okay? I'll be back in ten minutes."

There were so many people and eyes in the hot spring villa that Gu YuMian dare not take the children out. It was safer in a house with a complete security system.

Both the little fox and the baby panda were very obedient. The little snow leopard was reluctant to leave him, but Gu YuMian wanted him to stay in the room to help take care of little Tangyuan and the little fox. After a while, the little snow leopard reluctantly agreed.

Actually, the little snow leopard didn't want Gu YuMian to go out alone. There were many hot spring villas and Gu YuMian began to feel anxious the first second he stepped out of the door, which increased with time.

Of course, he was happy to have a group of cubs, that is, they had to agree to do everything before he could continue. Gu YuMian could not help but feel that it was a sweet worry.

There was a bustling crowd outside the hot spring villa. There was a family holding a wooden basin to soak in the hot spring, or the old couple helped each other for a walk and smiled at Gu YuMian kindly. This was not like the Upper Urban District in the Capital, which reminded Gu YuMian of the squares and streets in the night of the downtown area. If he was free tomorrow or the next day, he could take the children out for a stroll.

"Maybe they can make friends." Gu YuMian thought.

He was most worried about the little snow leopard. The little snow leopard's character was not bad, but a little proud and a little lonely. Gu YuMian was afraid that he couldn't make friends and would be bullied in school, but the little snow leopard wouldn't communicate with him about school. Gu YuMian hoped to visit the school some time to find out.

It wasn't long before he got to the luggage office.

There were fewer people here, and finally, there were various facilities in line with the characteristics of the interstellar era. The hot spring villa had a large flow of people and a large luggage storage area. There were a lot of high shelves arranged like a library, but the luggage on the shelves were in all kinds of bags wrapped by light balls. By inputting the fingerprint on one side of the light screen, when it matched, one could claim their luggage.

At this time, Gu YuMian heard a vague voice coming from the space between two shelves. It sounded like a conversation. One person's tone was high above the others, holding over the others like a master over the servants.

"Human beings… Nobility… Your Majesty…"

Gu YuMian stopped after catching a few keywords. Gu YuMian didn't mean to eavesdrop. He hesitated for a moment and decided to leave. He needed to hurry up and looked at his watch. It had been ten minutes since he went to pick up the luggage. He had promised Xue Tuan that he would return in ten minutes. If he didn't come back, the little brat would be angry.

As soon as he turned around, Gu YuMian was caught by a pair of gray-blue eyes.

Gu YuMian's first reaction was that the little snow leopard couldn't wait and came to find him, but the next second, he realized it wasn't.

The man was dressed in clothes similar to Japanese yukatas, the color and style were very suitable for him. The neckline showed a small piece of his solid porcelain white chest, and the left shoulder was half leaning against the luggage rack. 6

Shuo Han was much taller than Gu YuMian and he almost blocked his way. He looked down at him lazily with a somewhat displeased expression. His eyes made Gu YuMian feel like he secretly went out for a drink after work and returned home late, and was caught by his partner on the spot.

Gu YuMian, "…"

The metaphor was so inappropriate that Gu YuMian quickly erased it from his brain.

Chapter 48: Will you give a gift?

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Editor: Sulo is happy with Shuo Han's appearance

Shuo Han also came to the hot spring?

It was destiny.

Gu YuMian had a strange and familiar feeling that made him unable to speak clearly. It had been less than a week since he came to the Upper Urban District. Considering that he went to the Academy of Sciences before, he and Shuo Han met for the second time. However, Shuo Han also lived in the Upper Urban District. The hot spring was open one week a year, and more than ten percent of the residents of the Upper Urban District would come. So it was not a coincidence? Was it?

On both sides of them were luggage racks labeled F and G, which was surrounded by a narrow dead end. Gu YuMian looked into Shuo Han's eyes and made the most reasonable inference about the reason why Shuo Han appeared.

"Do you want your luggage?" Gu YuMian smiled.

Shuo Han nodded, "Yes."

Gu YuMian nodded, "Step back a little, I'll go out and give you my spot."

There was a brief pause in the air.

Shuo Han's gray-blue eyes drooped down to look at Gu YuMian, who was close to him. At the beginning, his unhappiness and anxiety had subsided, with a light sense of teasing and interest.

The familiar feeling in Gu YuMian's heart came back. Shuo Han's expression was a bit like Xue Tuan when he met a very interesting wool ball.

He casually lowered his eyes to Gu YuMian for a while, and said casually, "No."

Before Gu YuMian could say anything, Shuo Han walked up to him with long legs, leaned down to the shoulder of the young man, and with a light hand, his long and cool fingers passed his left ear, as if he wanted to go straight over Gu YuMian to pick up the luggage on the shelf behind him.

It was a very standard hegemonic style 'kabedon.' 1

Gu YuMian, "…"

Gu YuMian looked into those eyes, which were very close, and forgot what he had just wanted to say.

The eyes of Shuo Han and Xue Tuan were not very similar except for the color. After all, the little snow leopard was a cub, with round deep blue in the middle of his pupils, and a light blue to almost a silver-gray on the outer layer. 2

Shuo Han's pupils were darker overall, which reminded Gu YuMian of the fascinating Greenland Sea, 3 which he had seen in photography magazines in his last life. It was far apart from the grey of the baby.

Gu YuMian was a little distracted.

In this slightly awkward silence, they heard voices from a very near place at the same time. It should still be the master and servant who Gu YuMian just heard behind the shelf. In addition, two more people joined in, and the voices and footsteps were approaching them.

"Where is that luggage? Is it in F frame? By the way, that little anchor seems to be in the villa. Did you watch his live broadcast? I like him very much and hope to see him sometime." This was a gentle and reserved female voice.

"Hahaha, it's not like that. You are a good noble. What are you doing wrong? You shouldn't like a lower race." Another voice teased her, "Be careful. You're madly in love with him and pestering him — well, frame F seems to be leaning this way."

"Human beings are not inferior. What's the matter with nobles? Now, apart from the royal family, other nobles have no names." At the beginning, the girl was embarrassed to retort in a low voice and got more intense ridicule.

It was the voice that said, 'you really like him' which replied, "It's good to be an aristocrat's son-in-law. If you want to open your mouth, the human race will surely catch up with it. It's not very suitable. Even if the aristocrats and the common people do, the aristocrats and the human race are far away from one another."

The sound came closer.

Wasn't F-frame behind them? Gu YuMian became more and more embarrassed. Shuo Han didn't back away, so he was forced to keep a close posture to listen to other people's chat. They also talked about Gu YuMian himself and the topic was very unfriendly.

The girl's good feeling and friend's attitude towards him made Gu YuMian feel embarrassed and shy, mixed with complexity. With some discomfort, no one wanted to be maliciously speculated like that because of race. He didn't like the word 'inferior race'. He looked up at Shuo Han. Shuo Han also seemed to be listening to the chat of those people absently. The smile in his eyes was not clear.

Gu YuMian said to him, "They are going to come over."

He hoped Shuo Han would step back and let him leave, and then they would say goodbye to each other.

But Shuo Han just glanced at him.

"Recently, there are many famous people in the villa, and Danny's family is there, but that human is not famous, is it?" Not far away, the chat began again. At first, the master and the servant also joined the gossip.

"Speaking of the royal family, isn't His Majesty spending too much time in the Lower Urban District recently? Every day, there are only…"

The nobleman said, "His Majesty only works half a day every day. He used to be a workaholic. There were also video conferences at 11:22 p.m. and now he's gone. It's said that the private account has spent billions of money buying luxury goods on the Internet for no reason. Is His Majesty in love?"

Shuo Han's eyebrows raised slightly.

Gu YuMian was forced to listen to their chat carefully. This was a topic of interest to him. Danny means 24 Wok, right? What's the matter with His Majesty? He didn't realize that he wanted to listen in.

At this time, the sound of chatting that came closer and closer to them suddenly choked off, and the sound of footsteps stopped.

The sound of air flowing also stopped.

"…"

The luggage on both sides was built into a narrow alley. The light was dim. The light from the sky could be seen floating in the air. Gu YuMian opened his eyes wide, and a few steps away surprised the four people who looked at them, with the same expression of amazement and unpreparedness.

—Shuo Han easily picked up Gu YuMian and let him sit on the empty luggage rack behind him, which was a higher spot. Then he raised his eyes and looked at Gu YuMian for a long time in this posture. It seemed that he was finally satisfied. He put one hand on Gu YuMian's waist, and the other hand was used to lower Gu YuMian's head.

There was a light and cool peck on Gu YuMian's clavicle. The first button of his shirt was inadvertently loosened, revealing the tattoo of the dark rose and sword. Shuo Han's kiss stopped there. Then he went up a little bit and leaned over the young man's ear, and asked him something in a low voice.

"…"

A few steps away, the four people were completely stunned.

Their cheeks were hot like they had just found something secret, and their first reaction was to retreat to avoid it. At this time, the tall man cast them a look.

The cold and impatient glance made them feel fear in their hearts.

At the same time, they also saw the kissed human youth held by the man. The tall man was holding the youth in his arms in a close and exclusive posture, but when their eyes fell down, they were more devout than believers.

They saw the rose and sword on the clavicle of the human youth, and they knew it belonged to the royal family. The general public may not know about it, but as a noble, they didn't think it could be mistaken or forged.

This revealed huge information. And the four people were stunned by the bombshell.

Ten minutes later.

The master and the servant were in different directions. They said goodbye first. The rest of the girls went to their room with their companions.

The girl who liked Gu YuMian was Molly. She was a little aristocrat and her classmate, Yu An, was the one who joked with her. She invited her to go to the hot spring together over the weekend. After they came out of the luggage office, they were oppressed for a long time, and then they couldn't help talking about it.

"My God, is this the human anchor you like? Why does he have a tattoo? Has anyone in the royal family recently announced their marriage?"

Before Yu An could joke, she remembered the tattoo and the human and, even though Molly was a noble, she wanted to slap her. Now it seemed that this was an embarrassing joke.

The royal family's private badge was only meant for one partner for their lifetime. Of course, it was not stipulated that the badge must be for their partner. In the past, there seemed to be a custom of giving the same at the life and death of the comrades in arms and close friends in wartime, but now it was almost a tacit fact to only give the badge to their life long partner.

The private badge was created by the royal family. It would not be announced to the public at first. People who were looking for someone to spend their life with would give them the badge, and then announce and hold a wedding. This was the whole process.

"No," said Molly, who was half a Gu YuMian fan and half her girlfriend's fan, was in a state of half lovelorn sickness, "Maybe they haven't planned to announce that, MianMian is a rising star at the peak stage of his career. It's not good to marry too young."

Yu An: "…"

"I can't think of anyone in the royal family who hasn't been married," Yu An thought. "Have you heard of one? A prince? He was so young."

"His Majesty is not married yet." Molly said.

Everyone was silent.

They couldn't find anyone in the evening. The Star Net had painted more than one billion luxuries. It was known that the only unmarried royal family member, His Majesty, didn't like to appear in public, so these little nobles hadn't seen his real face…

Thinking about it, it was possible.

The atmosphere of silence and entanglement followed them to their cabin, which was then broken. The polite hot spring villa staff stood in front of the door and bowed slightly, "Miss Molly, due to our work error, the water change system in your room has failed. We have handled the upgrade procedures for your suite and upgraded it to the Maple Leaf area."

The Maple Leaf area was the farthest away from the Moon district where Gu YuMian was located. It was almost on the other side of hot spring villa. A childish gentleman who just bought the hot spring villa needed to make sure Molly and Gu YuMian wouldn't meet for the next few days.

Molly, "Ah?"

And that was not it. After talking to Molly, the staff turned to Yu An, "I'm sorry, Miss Yu, we don't welcome racists and don't agree with the concept of 'lower races'. We have gone through the check-out procedures for you and doubled the compensation to express our apology."

Yu An, "Huh?"

Gu YuMian and Shuo Han bid each other goodbye at the fork.

Shuo Han's reservation was in the Snowman area next to Gu YuMian. Gu YuMian watched him drag his suitcase into the small house, and the light in the room lit up. He walked back while thinking.

Shuo Han did have a house. He had a pass and a room card and he didn't come with Gu YuMian. Shuo Han's subtle connection with the snow leopard was cut off at this moment. All his temptations met with dead ends, but he was a little insecure.

More importantly, Shuo Han's attitude was that he was… chasing him?

Gu YuMian was sent love letters by girls when he was a student, and it was the first time that he was pursued by a male. Besides, Shuo Han was not a man who played his cards according to common sense. Gu YuMian implicitly suggested that he had no intention of falling in love, but Shuo Han's attitude was not clear.

And then there was the question Shuo Han asked him before the baggage was checked out.

Shuo Han's kiss was really unexpected. It was as arrogant as before, but it didn't have a lot of desire. It seemed that he just wanted to kiss and touch, so Gu YuMian didn't respond in time for two or three seconds.

Shuo Han's voice was very low, interlaced, and scattered in the narrow space, and the expectation and laziness was not obvious, which made his voice seem hoarse. Gu YuMian had such a momentary feeling of his heart swelling.

Gu YuMian heard him ask, 'My birthday is coming soon. Will you give me a gift?'

"…"

Gu YuMian took back his thoughts.

Birthday? A gift was normal, but he should have grasped a sense of discretion. They should have talked about it later.

Gu YuMian pushed open the wooden door of the room. The snow leopard was sitting in front of the door and waiting for him. His paws scratched the door and he accused him of violating the agreement with his eyes. It had been more than thirty minutes.

"Mn, it's my fault." Gu YuMian put his luggage aside, and a small robot helped him to pack it automatically. Then he lifted the little guy from under his arms, kissed his paw pads, and put him on his shoulder, "I was delayed for a while, but I won't be late in the future."

Gu YuMian checked the paws of the little snow leopard. They were very clean and there was no trace of him leaving the room. His silver hair was also very clean and it didn't look like he had opened the door.

The response of the little arctic fox was also very normal — if the little snow leopard had left, the baby panda would not necessarily find out, but the little fox would surely notice since he was a very smart and sensitive child. Did he react?

"Ji." The little fox was also worried and restrained. He pulled the door frame and looked out, shaking his big tail, because the snow leopard didn't dare to come forward. The baby panda moved slowly, hugging Gu YuMian's calf and making two chirps.

Gu YuMian was in a bad mood. Although he had only been away for half an hour, he still felt that he had been away from home for several months on a business trip. And when he returned home, he saw that the children were waiting for him pitifully.

I'll try my best to take them with me in the future.

First, he picked each one of them up and kissed their foreheads, kneaded the claws of the little fox, and then held the baby panda's purring belly to pacify all the little babies at home.

At 9:00 p.m., Gu YuMian opened his live broadcast again.

As soon as the broadcast began, the number of viewers began to increase exponentially!

"Hello, I'm anchor Gu YuMian," Gu YuMian apologized to the audience. "I've kept you waiting for a long time. I met someone outside and became late."

The audience magnanimously said that they were okay and that they were satisfied with the live broadcast. They were very easy to coax. Of course, there were also some people who deliberately complained in a very heavy tone saying Gu YuMian could kiss them to make them forgive him.

Gu YuMian smiled, "Mn, let's not say anything else. Now I'll take the kids to the hot spring. After soaking, I'll comb their hair, eat a midnight snack, and go to bed when it's time. All right?"

The little snow leopard and little arctic fox had long and thick hair. If they didn't pay attention, they would lose their hair and it would knot, and the knot would hurt when untangling it. They need to be combed almost every day. Gu YuMian found that the audience's response to grooming was not bad since the last live broadcast. He sometimes left this content for live broadcast.

[A Xue wants the crown: Comb! I want! Aaaaah! I am here because he combed their hair so nicely before! ]

[Tartar Sauce: What's the night snack? (=﹃=) Drooling. The ramen was delicious. I want another bowl. Can I have the ramen again? Make up for the pain of me not winning.]

[Cat's Meow: I heard that MianMian say we were going eat octopus and ramen noodles? I'm looking forward to the hot spring. Although I don't have the money to go to Chaikeshan, I'm also a cat who will spend a holiday with MianMian at the Chaikeshan.]

Gu YuMian's audience's stickiness had always been very high. Even if they were cut off for more than forty minutes in the middle, the popularity after re-broadcasting was hardly damaged. His live studio would soon make the top five on the homepage's real-time popularity list.

Several of the other anchors almost broke their teeth when Gu YuMian threw a lottery and was smashed with gifts.

"Octopus will be eaten later," Gu YuMian nodded. "It's a little late today, so I'll make some small snacks that are easy to digest."

Gu YuMian didn't plan to go into the hot spring himself. He just wanted to take the children to soak in it for comfort, and prepare for the night and comb the children. The happiness brought by taking care of the cubs was far greater than being in a hot spring.

The soap was adjusted and Gu YuMian squatted in the pool to add the bath agent, and laid the soft slip mat and protective devices around the edge. The three children's towels, small brushes, and bath liquid were also arranged. Small snacks and juice were placed on the side of the pool on small plates.

"Hot springs make people very thirsty. I like preparing some fresh juice."

It was not suitable to drink something too cold in winter. Gu YuMian had prepared room temperature blueberry juice and lemonade and planned to make another hot drink later. He had not decided whether to make tea or hot milk for the time being — it would be a little cold after coming out of the hot spring, and milk was also a good choice.

While he did this, the baby panda rubbed his little belly and looked at him blankly, clapping his paws when he felt fierce. The little fox was very sensible and sat beside him. When Gu YuMian looked back, he saw that the little fox pushed the small plate he was looking for to his side. He was shy and warily chirping twice. He was so cute.

Snow Leopard, "…"

He didn't expect that the little snow leopard and the little fox would be energetic. How could they help Gu YuMian? The little snow leopard should do it first and get Gu YuMian's praise first. The little fox looked at Gu YuMian in a daze and felt a little helpless.

"…"

"TuanTuan," Gu YuMian was immediately distressed, and it was hard to say what the little snow leopard was thinking. He sighed helplessly and carried the little snow leopard and the little fox to his arms and nape. "Okay, I'll do it myself. TuanTuan, YuanYuan, and QiuQiu are both in charge of being cute, okay?"

The baby panda held Gu YuMian's hand and agreed unconditionally, "Chii."

[Throwing Cosmetics: Hahahaha! In charge of loveliness! Okay, I will try my best to finish the task!]

[There's a family in the mine: TuanTuan is so pitiful. From the first time when he was the only favorite in the east palace to now, he has been reduced to one third. Miserable.]

[I like softness very much: The only favorite in the east palace? Brother Min, are you an original fan? Have you been brainwashed by the small advertisements and so on?]

[Beauty: This family is really lovely. I think I can do nothing but watch your family eat and sleep all day.]

The audience was now watching from the perspective of the baby panda. They were not only interested in the interaction between Gu YuMian and the children but also involved in it. The feeling of family that didn't need to be deliberately created, the simple warmth of a family living together in peace, was far more nostalgic and they were reluctant to leave for any other live content.

There was a bright moon hanging in the sky. In winter, the moon and lights were rippling in the sparkling hot spring pool. The warm white steam embraced every inch of their cold skin. The bath agent flowed into the nose with a very light smell of clean leaves, and the water was gurgling.

Few people could resist the temptation of eating a bowl of hot ramen with this family, laughing and chatting, soaking in a hot spring, combing hair, and sleeping. Maybe they could see it snow before going to bed.

Although it was nine o'clock now, the overall traffic of the live platform was only slightly lower than that at seven o'clock. But it wasn't long before the popularity of Gu YuMian's live room reached the highest point again after the interruption of the live broadcast. It also ranked in the top three in real-time popularity, and again went to the top in a short time!

"TuanTuan, YuanYuan, QiuQiu, line up to wipe your paws."

The width and height of the hot spring pool would be adjusted automatically according to the guests. After Gu YuMian set it to baby mode, the pool became very shallow, only reaching a little above the baby panda's belly. Even if it was the small snow leopard and fox, the water would not reach their mouths and noses when they stepped in.

But Gu YuMian still needed to wipe the claws for the children first, so as not to slip or hurt themselves when stepping out later. The little fox and the baby panda had a kind of inexplicable respect for the little snow leopard. They lined up but the leopard was first. The little snow leopard lay in Gu YuMian's arms with his chin up and stepped on Gu YuMian's palm lazily with his claws outstretched.

Although Gu YuMian joked that the baby snow leopard was a bigger cat, it was actually completely different.

For example, the paw of a full-grown snow leopard was wider and larger than that of a cat, and the paw pad was thicker and softer after claw retraction. The little fox's claws were smaller, not so soft, but very small and lovely. The claws and the whole body of the baby panda was round and rolling. It was only necessary for Gu YuMian to wipe their front paws.

He pinched this one and that one. For a moment, he had a strong desire to show off his children.

[Soda: I'm so happy for the human and cubs at the same time.]

[Tuanzi: The little babies are so cute, and the man who is obsessed with claws is so cute. I'll hold this lemon, but I don't know who will be sour for a while.]

Gu YuMian looked at the barrage and couldn't help laughing. He was responsible for preparing the hot spring by himself, and the children were responsible for being cute. Personally, he thought that all of them had done a very good job.

"Mn, let's go into the hot spring."

Chapter 49: Crab Soup Dumpling

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Editor: Sulo sends thousands of fireworks to Gu YuMian!

Gu YuMian made a 'hot spring' for the snow leopard in Takk before, but it was not a real hot spring, just a bath. Hot springs, in such a hot spring villa, were called hot springs because of their mineral content. There was an etiquette for using hot springs, and while it was not so rigid, there was still a sense of ceremony.

"We'll take a simple bath before you soak," Gu YuMian said, wiping the paws of the children one by one. "Who wants to come first? TuanTuan can't."

He had just wiped the little snow leopards paws. Everything needed to be fair. The little snow leopard was not happy. He pushed away Gu YuMian's palm with his claws angrily and coldly. But Gu YuMian, a parent who paid attention to fairness, did not want to indulge the cubs in making special things, saying no was not enough.

Gu YuMian asked the baby panda and fox to play their favorite 'push paw' game. The baby panda's round eyes had been looking at Gu YuMian's hands and the little fox's big fluffy tail. Unfortunately, he lost and Gu YuMian picked the fox first.

[2567 like you: Eh, why take a bath before you go into the hot spring? I think the hot spring itself is a bath?]

"Even this small independent hot spring is a public resource," Gu YuMian shook his head. "So, if you wash yourself clean before going in, you can go into the hot spring without dirtying it. You can also get familiar with the water temperature in advance to prevent yourself from being burned."

The hot spring was outside, surrounded by a circle of stones. Towels, trays and buckets Gu YuMian had placed were on the edge of the pool.

Gu YuMian had grabbed a small bucket of water from the spring outlet of the hot spring pool. Afraid that the little fox would not be used to the feeling of water wetting his hair, he first soaked a towel in it, took it out and twisted it, and then gently wiped the side of the little fox.

He rubbed the soap, specially made for the little fox, until it created bubbles in the palm of his hand, and spread it across the whole body. Going from behind his ears and along the direction of the long and thick snow white fur of the arctic fox.

Then he took a water ladle, scooped up a small amount of water and sprinkled it lightly on the little fox. Using a soft little brush, he washed away the foam along with the water, and then let him feel the temperature of the water in the hot spring to see if he would be uncomfortable.

When bathing the little fox, the little snow leopard, who was on Gu YuMian's shoulder, was not happy and yawned.

The baby panda was still learning. When Gu YuMian took a towel, he also held a small towel on his head for praise. Gu YuMian couldn't help laughing because of his simple and lovely appearance.

[tgx772: Little Xue Tuan: happiness (not) written all over his ]

[Cat's meow: MianMian smiled again. It's so nice. I love MianMian's little dimples so much. From the beginning of his Takk live broadcast to now, there have been more and more smiling faces from MianMian. I hope that MianMian will be happier and happier in the future. Sending some fireworks.]

Every second, there were many new audience members pouring in. It was a little late, but the total popularity and number of people in Gu YuMian's live studio had seen an extremely high-speed rise. Although the little fox was not a dog, he actually had many characteristics from the canine family. The biggest characteristic was him being very obedient and smart. Obviously the appearance was as a smart child, but the style was a bit bookish and inflexible, and not good at dealing with people..

When bathing, the baby snow leopard and the baby panda would move around, but the little fox just sat upright. Gu YuMian asked him to lift his paws and raise his head. He was also shy and timid. Gu YuMian observed carefully, trying to judge whether he was uncomfortable or not.

The little fox seemed to have developed the habit of not giving trouble to others since he was a child. The more important he was to other people, the more cautious he became.

"You don't like little brushes?" Gu YuMian asked. The foam on the handle of the brush was washed away. Instead of using the brush, he gently rubbed the skin of the fox with his fingertips and flushed away the foam. "Next time tell me if you like it, hmm? Tell me once, I'll reward you with a biscuit."

Then he wiped his hand and took out a small plate. As expected, the fox picked out a small biscuit. This was a snack specially baked for the children's appetites. There was no sugar, salt, cocoa powder and other things that may be harmful to the internal organs. The main ingredients were cheese and synthetic milk, as well as some nuts.

Gu YuMian also used a special mold to bake the biscuits into the shape of a heart, a small bamboo, a small bow, a strawberry and so on.

In fact, both the little snow leopard and the baby panda had eaten many on their own, especially the little snow leopard, who really regarded himself as the head of the family. The whole family, including Gu YuMian, was his. When he was in the mood, he took a piece of food from the newly baked things Gu YuMian had made.

Gu YuMian caught the baby panda who was stealthily nibbling at the biscuit in his paws. Gu YuMian's heart thumped seeing his cuteness. Only the little fox abided by his duty. If Gu YuMian said no, he would never do it.

The little fox was first surprised, then after looking at the plate, he realized that he wanted to eat every little biscuit. Finally, he hesitated between a small strawberry and a small bow, and his tangled big tail was wilting.

Gu YuMian had casually said, "Tell me if you don't like something, and I'll reward you with a small biscuit."

Little fox, "…" He looked at Gu YuMian with a little grievance and wagged his tail. After he was sure that Gu YuMian would not let him move, there was an obvious struggle on his small face. He didn't want to make trouble for Gu YuMian, but he wanted the biscuit baked by Gu YuMian.

"What don't you like?"

The fox was quiet for a moment, and finally finished the psychological construction. His claws grabbed Gu YuMian's clothes and carefully squeezed himself into the youth's arms. "Ji."

Don't like sitting on the ground, want you to hold me. Can I have biscuits now? The little fox looked at Gu YuMian with a blush and covered his eyes with his claws.

Gu YuMian, "…"

Gu YuMian's heart was hit with so much cuteness that he had to turn away, and the smile on his face showed a bit of unusual stupidity. He had no time to care about the little problem that his shirt was wet from the fur of the little fox. He held the two biscuits that the little fox liked in his palm and gave them to him.

The little fox lowered his head and held two biscuits in his mouth. At first, he was reluctant to eat them. He took a picture of himself and the biscuit with his baby's light brain, and then ate them.

As spectators and participants, gave a series of,

[WTF!]

[This loveliness is beyond the standard, and both MianMian and QiuQiu are adorable!]

[Aaaaaaah!]

[I want to steal this human and fox. I'm dead, everyone.]

The atmosphere was very warm for a while.

Snow Leopard, "…"

Gu YuMian could almost directly see the sour bubbles coming out of the little snow leopard's whole body, floating up a little bit from his side. He reached out his paws to block Gu YuMian's vision and didn't let him see the arctic fox kit. He also found that he was hiding his ears and stealing the bell. He got angry with the little fox first, and finally started to get angry with himself.

He thought Gu YuMian liked stupidity. If he could be less intelligent, he may have the same status of these two fools.

… Although the idea itself was stupid enough.

The baby panda was hurt by the flow again. He held the biscuit in his arms and said, "Chirp?"

"All right," Gu YuMian said seriously after his shirt got wet. "TuanTuan, YuanYuan, and QiuQiu all liked it. Let's take a bath and wash quickly. We'll dip in the hot springs and have delicious food later, okay?"

Because the little snow leopard looked particularly sour and unhappy, Gu YuMian was also distressed, holding his little paw and holding it up for a while to coax, and finally letting him choose his own cookie.

The little snow leopard didn't want to leave all of them to the little fox and the baby panda. He took the whole plate away, and finally raised his chin arrogantly and stopped.

Gu YuMian didn't have the heart to tell him that he had baked a box.

"…"

When he calmed the leopard, Gu YuMian really sped up, but didn't make the children feel uncomfortable. First, he helped the little fox to take a bath and wipe down. He wrapped him in the plush towel to prevent him from getting cold. Then he bathed the baby panda and the little snow leopard.

The three bathing soaps, lotion and comb brushes were different. Most of them were made by Gu YuMian, and were arranged in small boxes. The baggage that Gu YuMian went to get were these.

The audience was now watching from the fox's perspective.

Gu YuMian's shower gel was different from those sold on the market. There were no extra smells or pigments. The bath gel that was made for the little fox had a very light wood fragrance. After the bath, it remained on his skin. It was like pine wood burning in the fireplace. It was a very suitable and nostalgic scent during winter.

The bathing place was close to the hot spring, and the outdoor was not cold in winter.

Gu YuMian was still holding the fox when he helped the baby snow leopard and panda take a bath. The audience could feel as if they were huddled in Gu YuMian's arms with a layer of a fluffy bath towel between them. Their visual sense, smell and hearing were telling them everything at the same time.

—It was very comfortable when Gu YuMian helped him bathe. His hands seemed to relax every inch of the bones, and the temperature of the palm was just right. After washing, the little fox was a little sleepy. The bath towel on his body also smelled like the sun.

The little fox could not help curling up again in Gu YuMian's arms.

The hot spring caused the smell of a little sulfur to go into the nose. Chatting with the family while taking a bath gave a relaxed and lively feeling, mixed with a spoonful of wind and moonlight, mixed with a kind of gentle and romantic human fireworks limited by winter.

They wanted to spend the whole winter like this.

The barrage stopped for a moment.

From the beginning, in fact, the atmosphere of the barrage had been very warm. At this moment, it was like all kinds of emotions were piled up to a peak

A moment later, like shrapnel, gifts shot out!

[There's a Family in the Mine: WTF! Hurry up, hurry up. I'm going to have a hot spring and a midnight snack made by MianMian. I'm going to sleep with MianMian! ]

[Big Underpants and Cotton Flowers: Aaaaaaaah! I love MianMian and his cubs so much. Now I want to cover up and dream. ]

[Grid: I study on a planet more than 300 light-years away from home. I can only go home once every three years. I haven't felt the feeling of home for a long time. Thank you! Throwing a few fireworks!]

The number of viewers in the studio had skyrocketed over 80 million at the moment, and more new audiences were pouring in every second!

Not only did it directly hit the top of the home page's real-time popularity, but the ranking of the live broadcast that had been interrupted and declined in the popularity list on that day also rose rapidly again, and soon entered the top three. It was about to surpass the record Gu YuMian set in the last Academy of Sciences live broadcast.

And this was just the beginning.

After taking a bath, Gu YuMian took the dumpling children and put them in the small hot spring pool. Finally, he was relaxed. The baby panda was the best one that adapted. When he was in the water, he was lively. First, he used his claws to lift the water to his belly, and then played with the little fox who seemed to be a little nervous. He wanted to continue to play 'pushing claws' with the little fox.

The snow leopard glanced at them, half immersed in the hot spring, while his little head was rolling in the palm of Gu YuMian's hand beside the pool. The other claw pressed Gu YuMian's wrist to forbid him from going away. He was still as sticky as ever.

"TuanTuan should let me get up," Gu YuMian said helplessly and jokingly. "I'll get the drinks and snacks."

The little snow leopard put up his paws unhappily.

In the last life, there was also a special hot spring tour in Japan, that is, to go to hot springs all over the country — there were many years of hot spring culture in Japan, and many places had hot spring hotels.

"You can't stay in the hot spring for too long, or you'll feel dizzy and palpitation in your heart." Gu YuMian brought out a plate with fruit wine and juice on one side, and nodded at ease after seeing the children adapt well and not fighting. It made him happy. "Besides the benefits of a hot spring, we can also…"

Enjoy the scenery, drink some wine and eat good food.

The hot springs in different places had different sceneries. Gu YuMian spent his last life in the Red Leaf hot spring in Hakone, 1 where he could enjoy the maple forest and the moon in autumn, while enjoying a comfortable hot spring. In addition, there were hot springs on the seasides, cliffs and near waterfalls.

And now the scenery of this pool was very good.

The hot spring's villa was built on Chaike Mountain and had naturally occuring pools. They could see a round of moon hanging on the hillside, surrounded by endless night. There was a pile of snow on the treetops, which would fall when the wind blew.

The three little children were getting used to the pool now. The baby panda was no longer as lively and active as he was at the beginning. He looked at the hot spring water with his head down at a loss. Suddenly, he was excited and tried to persistently get the moon out of the water. He wanted to have the little fox hold it.

The little fox was more like a sensible big brother. He carefully held the water for the baby panda and chirped at the same time. The little snow leopard was watching lazily. Suddenly he wanted to be the older one. He picked up an empty glass from the poolside and told the baby panda to put the moon in it.

Gu YuMian also watched for a while. When the baby panda walked over to him with the moon, he couldn't help laughing.

This was the moon picked by three children. Gu YuMian decided to keep it.

"Thank you, TuanTuan, YuanYuan and QiuQiu."

Bullet screen:

[Wuwuwuwuwu! They are so sweet and cute. I also want to pick a moon for Mian Mian.]

[If I live with MianMian for a long time, the sugar in my brain will exceed the standard.]

[It's lovely and romantic for the cubs to send him the moon!]

Gu YuMian's heart was also soft, like eating sugar, and quietly remembering the feeling at this time, he gently closed his hands to catch everyone's attention, "Then… Let's have some juice. We have a semi-private hot spring, so we can drink and eat. If we go to the public pool tomorrow, we wouldn't be able to eat."

Of course, the children couldn't drink. Gu YuMian had fruit wine as well as juice. He poured one glass for each of the three children.

The audience was still watching from the fox's perspective.

Hot springs with natural minerals would feel a little stuffy at first because of the sudden rise of temperature. But soon they would feel comfortable after sweating, and their backs would be very soft. Through the steam of the hot spring, they could see the moonlight in the winter night, the pine forest and snow.

At this time, they had another glass of fruit wine. The slightly chilled fruit wine had the taste of raspberry. It was sweet and slightly sour, and it could also refreshingly bite at the flesh. After a sip, it'd wash away the heat from the hot spring,

It was a wonderful world.

The little snow leopard's fluffy head pressed against Gu YuMian's palm and squinted contentedly. The baby panda scratched his belly as he made a contented whimper, and the little fox could not help shyly lowering his head and chirping twice, and then rubbed against Gu YuMian to drink a mouthful of fruit wine.

Close to 10 p.m., the number of people in the studio was still soaring!

After good wine, of course, it was food.

"I'll make some crab soup dumplings. 2 We'll eat them soon, and we won't have any upset stomachs."

The hot spring was not suitable for eating greasy things, but it couldn't be too light and tasteless. Gu YuMian decided to do this after a comprehensive consideration. Just beside the pool, there was a simple small stove to put the steamer, maybe considering the food needs of the guests.

[Pillow and flower cat: There are hot springs, fruit wine and delicious food! I'm drooling, anchor. You're so kind.]

[Cotton candy: Looking forward to it! ]

Gu YuMian directly supported himself against the platform on the edge of the hot spring pool. He could watch the children and do things at the same time to avoid accidents.

There was a lot of knowledge needed in making soup dumplings. Gu YuMian just learned a little skill from his elders, and even though it was not as exquisite as how a professional chef would make it, he thought it was delicious enough.

"There is still flour left from the ramen made in the evening. We can use this to make the dough. This time, we need to add salt and alkaline water to the dough."

There was no big difference in the general process. He needed to mix it into a ball and then knead it. Gu YuMian put the dough on a simple chopping board and kneaded it while his fingers skillfully dipped in water and folded it many times. He kneaded it into a circle and let it rest before rolling it out.

In a short time, the piece of dough, which was thick in the middle and thin on the sides, was finished.

"The stuffing should be handled separately with its several ingredients."

This time, the main fillings were synthetic chicken, pork, and of course, crab. Gu YuMian cleaned and blanched all the synthetic meat purchased on the Star Net, then boiled a pot of water on the stove, and threw all the raw materials into the fire to simmer.

Soon, the water in the pot was boiling. Gu YuMian fished out the pork and diced the synthetic chicken. As for the skin, he scooped it out with a long spoon and chopped it with a knife in one hand.

The synthetic crab was steamed on the top of the cage, and was directly crushed in the shell. Then it was stir fried with ginger powder and cooking wine in the lower pot, and soon there was a strong fragrance overflowing from the pot.

The broth made from the bones on the stove was thick. Gu YuMian took out a bowl and filtered it, skimmed off the floating grime and boiled it again until it was done. The diced chicken and pork were added. But at this moment, the broth was bubbling on the stove.

Audience, "!"

The three children were so dizzy that they leaned against the pool, including the reserved snow leopard, and looked curiously into the pot.

"Just a moment, it'll be ready soon." Gu YuMian bent his eyes and said, "I'm going to shape the dumplings. Do you want to learn?"

At this time, he added a few spoons of soy sauce, sugar and fried golden crab powder, stirred it continuously, waited until it condensed into soup stuffing, and then stirred it to pieces — at this time, Gu YuMian gently picked up the prepared dough, scooped up the soup stuffing, pushed it forward with one hand and pinched pleats onto the dough. He closed the dumpling with his hand and when he opened it again, what sat on his hand was a delicate and lovely bun.

[Junior B: Kneeling, brother! Who can learn? Anchor, can you send me some of those or teach me to do it as fast?]

[A line of Egrets: It's impossible to learn in the next life, but I'm more concerned about when I can eat!]

Now there was only one last step left. Gu YuMian filled the steamer with soup dumplings and steamed them on the stove. The hot spring pool was steaming hot. From the moon in the middle of the sky, to the unique hot spring wine and food on the winter night, it made people feel that they could remember this night for a long time.

The number of spectators soared, reaching 90 million at this time, and the ranking of his live broadcast on the hot list of that day also went all the way to the top three, and would soon reach the top.

At the same time…

Gu YuMian glanced at the time and nodded. After a while, the first soup dumpling came out in front of the eyes of the three children and the 90 million people—

The crystal clear skin was as thin as paper. One could see the tender and soft crab meat, and the flowing thick and mellow soup; the soft and abnormal strong fragrance came to the nose. Just watching and smelling the almost imaginable mouthful, it would be overflowing with taste, refreshing, delicious and not greasy.

Just a glance was enough to catch people's desires!

Chapter 50: Ai!

Editor: Sulo wants to capture all the stars for the cubs TvT

One by one, the snow-white soup dumplings with thin skin and meaty filling were arranged in the bamboo steamer. Under the light, the steam could be seen. A vague smell of the crab and the diced meat plus the delicious and rich scent of the soup, made people swallow their saliva.

The three children and 90 million people were stunned.

The little snow leopard was still standing in the hot spring. His two little forepaws reached out and were placed on Gu YuMian's knees as he messed with the steamers. Gu YuMian quickly moved him. The baby panda over there wanted to stretch out his paws to eat while Gu YuMian was not paying attention. Fortunately, the little fox helped Gu YuMian stop him.

Gu YuMian said helplessly, "It's still very hot now, and the way of eating soup dumplings is different. Wait for me to teach you later, or it will be wasted. This is a Wenlou soup dumpling," 1 he said, holding the little snow leopard, who was now dangling in the middle of the air and waving his paws unhappily, and touching the withered baby panda's head. He said this sentence and stopped, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Well, it's a Wenlou soup dumpling. I haven't made them very well. We used to have a saying that 'The sweet-scented osmanthus colored the yellow chrysanthemum color, the thin wrapper is stuffed with delicious crabs, and once people try the Wenlou Soup Dumplings, they will feel refreshed when they bite into it'." 2

The characteristics of Wenlou soup dumplings were the filling being all soup, and the skin being thin. When one used their chopsticks to clamp it, the soup would flow out with a little effort. It was extremely delicious, especially suitable for eating in autumn and winter.

Gu YuMian lived in Jiangsu and Zhejiang when he was a child. During the Mid Autumn Festival, he had the honor to go to Huai'an with his family to taste the real Wenlou soup dumpling. It was made by an actual craftsman who worked hard day and night. The material selection was rigorous and exquisite. He had to choose the fattest yellow crab for filling and make sure the shaoxing wine, sugar, dried bamboo shoots, and spices were all excellent.

He had stolen his teacher's recipe, but what he made was far from the real Wenlou soup dumpling. He had learned two successful steps at most.

… But the audience didn't think so.

[Throwing Cosmetics: Aaaaaaah! It's so sweet, MianMian. Hurry up! Fireworks for you]

[Vivian: It's very fragrant and beautiful. Like art, if this is called 'not too good', then the meals I usually eat may as well be rubbish.]

[Soda No.2: Showing me this in the middle of the night?! I'm angry. I need the anchor to kiss me and feed me soup dumplings!]

All kinds of gift effects and bullet screens flashed one by one. They were urging him to eat quickly. The atmosphere of the bullet screen was very warm. However, Gu YuMian couldn't rush with the soup because of the urging of the audience. On the one hand, making soup dumplings and on the other hand, eating it, both had their own concerns. If it was not eaten carefully, it was likely that the soup would overflow and scald them.

Gu YuMian prepared four round porcelain plates to hold the soup dumpling. He opened his fingers and gently lifted the dumpling. Then he quickly put it into the round plate. It was dangerous and unbroken. After serving, there was the part of dipping it in the sauce, dropping some wine into the vinegar, and then adding the ginger and cilantro.

The three children couldn't wait for Gu YuMian to feed them. Finally, Gu YuMian divided the three small dishes into one, dipped them in the sauce first, and said, "This one can't be eaten directly. Take a small bite and suck the soup out first. When the soup is finished, eat it again."

Gu YuMian demonstrated with his steamed buns. He didn't bite. He took the chopsticks and poked a hole in the skin. In fact, a straw could be used, but Gu YuMian did not have the right size of straw at hand.

Although the baby panda was greedy and naughty, he listened to Gu YuMian very well. He found that he couldn't understand and didn't understand. Holding the plate, he scratched his head and didn't dare to move. So he tilted his head to see how the snow leopard and the fox ate.

…He didn't expect that the snow leopard had finished eating.

The snow leopard lowered his head to drink the soup, ate the rest of it, squinted his eyes with satisfaction, and rubbed Gu YuMian's wrist with his long tail to ask him for another one. The baby panda could only place his hope on the little fox. The little fox had a very rigorous academic spirit. It seemed that he was trying to poke the dumpling with his little claw.

The audience were viewing things from the perspective of the little fox. Many people were waiting while swallowing their saliva: only when the little fox learned to eat, could they taste the 'soup dumpling'.

Fortunately, the little fox did his best to study it. He put the white porcelain plate beside the pool and lowered his head to hold a corner of the bun. Then, the soft and thin skin broke in his small mouth, and the thick and delicious soup flowed out—

The thick soup made by stewed crab and rib meat slid into his throat. After several processes of stewing and cooking, it was extremely warm and mellow. After one bite, the thick, delicious and mellow hot soup immediately overflowed in the mouths of the audience, bringing satisfaction to the entire body.

What's more, they could taste the soft, waxy and tender crab and the meat stuffing as the little fox chewed. With an attractive flavor from the cooking wine, they could savor the delicious taste under the flavor from the ginger. All the delicacies came together and bloomed on the tip of their taste buds!

The soup was savory and tantalizing. For any discerning chef or gourmand, they couldn't say anything about it except 'delicious'.

What's more, every cell from the back to the skin was soft and comfortable from being in the hot spring on such a winter night. There was a refreshing fruit wine at hand, accompanied by people who they liked. In front of them was the bright moon, the snow and the soft soup dumpling.

The barrage was crazy.

[Junior B: I died. WTF, how can it be so delicious?!]

[Xu Tiantian likes Sugar: It's delicious, so delicious that I want to change my name to Baozi! 3 This soup is too fresh. The meat is delicious. The hot spring, fruit wine and anchor are all good. Aaah! Isn't this my dream life?]

[Electric Light Gallbladder: I think I'm going to pack myself and express the package to MianMian's house now. QAQ It is so delicious that I almost swallowed my tongue.]

[Strawberry Clip: Although I don't want to increase the number of love enemies, the whole world should watch MianMian's live broadcasts! Throwing ten fireworks!]

Thick barrages were stacked one after another. Although it was 10 o'clock in the evening, the barrage was as busy as it had been in the daytime. The number and total popularity of the audience in the live broadcast room were pushed and pushed by this crazy flow.

It wasn't long before Gu YuMian's live studio topped the hot list of that day, with more than 90 million people, even reaching 100 million! It was still soaring!

Gu YuMian steamed two baskets of twelve steamed buns. The snow leopard and the fox ate their first ones while the baby panda were still at a loss. He held the small round dish and scratched his ears, feeling wronged against Gu YuMian's hand.

"YuanYuan, come here," Gu YuMian finally found a suitable small straw, and helped him to poke a small hole in the bun with the straw, so that the baby panda could hold the straw to drink. "This'll be easier."

The baby panda holding the plate, a moment later, "…!"

Gu YuMian looked at the baby panda's head still resting in his hand, leaning against the hot spring pool, sucking the juice of the steamed bun, and showing an expression of happiness to depression, which made people laugh.

Gu YuMian had long found that the baby panda seemed to be a little gifted at acting. He was very dramatic and expressive in everything he did. However, the little fox was really worried about the baby panda's brain problem. He carefully guarded beside him and pushed his round head with his claws from time to time.

At this time, the little snow leopard had laid lazily in Gu YuMian's arms to doze off, and Gu YuMian's shirt became wet again. He helplessly carried the little snow leopard back.

"Let's soak for a while, and then we'll get up and brush our hair, drink some milk, and go to sleep."

[There's a family in the mine: Shocked, I suddenly realized that I was watching the live broadcast. Just now I almost thought that I had gone on a vacation in Chaike Mountain with MianMian, and I woke up too suddenly. If only MianMian could broadcast forever.]

[Cotton with big underpants: + 1, I like MianMian so much.]

"Thank you for your love," Gu YuMian looked at the bullet curtain and nodded seriously. "You can go to the hot spring with your family and friends in your spare time, or go somewhere alone and enjoy your life. It's not good to watch the live broadcast often."

Gu YuMian's live broadcast time was not long, and he would not deliberately choose to extend when the traffic was soaring. On the one hand, he hoped that his audience would not be too addicted to the live broadcast. This was the biggest truth, that is, few anchors thought this way.

[The anchor is too straightforward.]

[+ 1]

[I've been in the house for a long time. After watching the live broadcast from MianMian, I have decided to go out!]

The water temperature of the hot spring was not very high but it was only suitable and comfortable to soak for twenty to thirty minutes. Otherwise, one would faint. Gu YuMian took a towel, soaked it in cold water, wrung it dry, pasted it on each child's forehead to cool them down. He made them soak for a little longer, and then wrapped the children in a big bath towel and picked them up one by one.

"There's salt in this mineral hot spring. It won't be very cold after soaking, will it?" Gu YuMian took the children into the room with the heating on, and sat directly on the wooden floor. One by one, he scrubbed their fur until it was dry.

The baby panda loved to eat and sleep. Now he was sleepy and Gu YuMian wiped him dry and let him sleep. The little snow leopard, wrapped in a big towel, occupied Gu YuMian's arms and enjoyed the service of his human. However, he was not so dignified and noble, and he was a little more lovely.

Finally, there was the little fox. The little fox put out his paw and put it on Gu YuMian's hand.

The audience was still viewing from the fox's perspective.

The plush towel was very warm and soft. When the heating was turned on and the floor was warm, the right heat kept rising. There was a light smell of wood from the bath gel, a burning smell of sulfur, and a scent of hot sweet milk from the milk pot.

The warm yellow night light gently wrapped everything in its path, and it had begun to snow outside the window.

Gu YuMian thought that the children were sleepy and although he wanted to brush their hair, he wanted them to go to bed earlier instead. "Let's drink some milk and go to bed. It's snowing outside. Maybe we can have a snowball fight tomorrow."

The little fox and the baby panda were sleeping with their heads next to Gu YuMian's hands. Gu YuMian fed the little fox some hot lactose free synthetic milk. The little fox smacked his lips and burped, half asleep.

The hot milk itself had the effect of helping one sleep and soothing the mood. The fragrance of the milk permeated between lips and teeth. It flowed all the way down from the throat to the stomach. In such a drowsy feeling of comfort, he was carried to a soft bed by the youth, listening to the subtle sound of snow falling outside the window.

This was destined to be an unforgettable winter night.

The audience had already guessed that the live broadcast was coming to an end.

[Crying: Is the live broadcast coming to an end? Wuwu, I hate to agree with the anchor, but I'm really sleepy.]

[A Lemon Essence: Every time I watch the live broadcast, I feel very comfortable and satisfied. Although I can't bear it, I have to say good night to MianMian! Good night, MianMian. Good night fireworks.]

Gu YuMian glanced at the bullet curtain, his eyes slightly bent, "Mn, today's live broadcast ends here. Good night. See you tomorrow."

With this very light and low voice, the live picture went dark.

—Just a second before Gu YuMian shut down the live broadcast, the number of viewers had skyrocketed to 150 million! Not only that, it firmly took the first place in the popularity list of the day, and even made it to the top ten of this week's popularity list, completely setting the official record on Starry Sky Live Broadcast.

Everyone knew that 100 million viewers was a watershed, so was this week's popularity chart.

Being on the 'real-time popularity list' and 'popularity list of the day' represented this live broadcast, which was very popular, but not difficult to do. Many anchors had taken advantage of their traffic or were caught up with it, and they had been on these two lists, so most of them could claim such a thing.

But this week's popularity list was not the same. To be on this list, which was almost monopolized by the top-ranking anchor, meant that the anchor had a very fixed fan base, a certain reputation, and a better and better development trend. Even for the biggest red and purple stars of Starry Sky, it would take at least four or five months to get from the 'popularity list of the day' to the 'popularity list of the week'.

And Gu YuMian had used…

Less than a month.

If he could be more diligent in his live broadcast, and didn't reduce his time on air in order to take care of children and deal with life chores, the time rate could have been shortened again.

All the people who were paying attention to this live broadcast and today's live data couldn't help but gape.

While Gu YuMian and his family were sleeping peacefully, in the same hot spring pool as the log cabin rented by Gu YuMian, there was a raft floating on the pool, on which, standing in the wind, was a creature with an unusual appearance.

It looked like a wolf, with thick white fur and a gray-black back that spread to the forehead and looked like the 'three fires' 4 burning. Though only a little older than a puppy, the ferocity of the race had begun to show.

The most striking were those eyes. The brown eyes were slanted, which, at first look, were ferocious and contemptuous eyes, showing wolf-like meaning. 5 However, when he looked up at the full moon, he opened his snout freely, "Awoo!"

Three seconds later.

"…Awoo! Awoo!"

Obviously, it was his own echo coming back, but the little guy was stiff all over. He picked up his tail, put on an alert attack posture, 6 and looked for enemies that didn't exist in the night.

Then he looked down and saw his reflection in the hot spring pool. He grinned at the enemy, and the enemy grinned back, which was obviously a challenge.

Little guy, "…"

Good.

From all directions came the sound of him asking, 'Who's your daddy?' War was raging in his veins.

The next morning.

With the help of the hot spring villa staff, the editor of the publishing house opened the door and saw the mess in the suite. The wooden door was gnawed in a crooked way, and a hole was chiseled in the newly repaired wall. All kinds of papers, books and materials were jumbled in the room, including several manuscript papers and dental prints.

The worst was the hot spring pool.

The little raft had long been leaking air, floating in the pool in tatters, and the little husky, who had gotten completely wet by the water, had withered. With a pile of snow on his head, he was stuck at the edge of the pool in a magical position. When the editor came in, he sneezed a lot, "Awoo — sneeze!"

Editor, "…"

He finally knew why the famous writer, who had been popular for more than three years, still couldn't afford a house in the Upper Urban District. All the money he made was used to pay for all kinds of compensation. It was strange to not pay for the damage he caused.

Well, he wished he could find a nanny or guardian to take care of this… brat.

"Teacher Ha, I'm here to receive the manuscript." Ten minutes later, facing the sneezing little guy, the editor finally found a crumpled manuscript paper from the corner. "Right… The guest next door said that he made too many steamed buns. He sent you some. Would you like to try it?"

"Awoo." The little fellow despised, and showed his fierce and contemptuous eyes.

Until the Editor took out the container, opened it and revealed two white and thin soup dumplings inside—

The disdainful little husky was stunned.

Then, the expression on the editor's face gradually went out of control.

"…"

At the same time, on the other side of the wall.

Gu YuMian's biological clock was very punctual, and he would definitely wake up at eight in the morning. It snowed all night, and then after it stopped, the sun came out.

"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will take my children to watch the sunrise." Gu YuMian yawned and went to wash and make breakfast, thinking, "I heard that the sunrise at Chaike Mountain is very beautiful…"

In a few days, he would go back to the Lower Urban District but he hadn't settled the matter for little Tangyuan yet. Gu YuMian was able to confirm that the 'Danny' family was in the hot spring villa last night. He wanted to visit today, but when he got up early in the morning, he saw the news.

[Star Danny's house is on fire. All members of the family are rushing back.]

It said that Er ShiSi Guo's house caught fire in the Upper Urban District yesterday. Since there were important things about their ancestors in it, the descendants of the family were rushing back, but Danny's side was still quiet. It was speculated that Danny was suffering from a serious disease and may die soon… And so on.

Then their family may be busy for a while. Gu YuMian originally wanted to visit the Guo family in the hot spring villa. But now he didn't think this plan would work, and it was not appropriate at this time.

This made Gu YuMian feel lost for a while, but he was also relieved.

In fact, his mentality was very complex, concerning the panda. He wanted to help the baby panda find his family members. After all, children would grow up happier and happier around their relatives.

But Gu YuMian didn't want to be separated from the baby panda. Subconsciously, he had made himself, the little snow leopard, little TangYuan and little fox into a complete home. He felt sad at the thought of not having any one of them. But he also knew that this was wrong.

In addition, he thought that the baby panda and the panda star "24th Wok" may be related, and the name "4th Wok" was also too similar to "Second Wok and Third Wok". In short, he wanted to confirm his theory but he was afraid that his joy would become empty, and so he was tangled for a long time.

"Ai." Gu YuMian shook his head and went to make breakfast.

Chaike Mountain was mainly for vacation, which meant sleeping late, soaking in hot springs, relaxing and entertaining, and doing whatever they wanted, so Gu YuMian didn't wake up little fox and the baby panda. Now only the sticky little snow leopard slept on his shoulder.

Last night, they had tonkotsu ramen and soup dumplings. For breakfast, Gu YuMian didn't plan to make anything too complicated, so he made Chinese yam congee 7 and spareribs.

"It's not easy to come here. We're going to take a dip in the hot spring," Gu YuMian said, chatting with the snow leopard who was rubbing his eyes to wake up, while taking care of ingredients. "Let's go to see the sunset and sunrise today, hmn?"

The little snow leopard's tail, which was rubbing his eyes with his little claws, stiffened.

Gu YuMian didn't know that watching the sunrise and sunset at Chaike mountain was a famous place for lovers on Capital Star. When someone invited another person to see the sunrise there on Capital Star, it was almost like a secret advertisement—

The little snow leopard's ears turned a little red.

Gu YuMian thought about it. He peeled and sliced the yam, washed the rice with water, and then said, "I just don't know if YuanYuan and QiuQiu can afford to get up. Don't we have to get up by at least five to watch the sunrise? YuanYuan can't afford to do that."

Snow Leopard, "…"

It turned out that they would all go see it together.

The snow leopard lay down.

Those two fools were always getting in the way.
