Chapter 202 Why doesn't Mom like Xiaoyu?

Jing Weimian came to her senses and told her younger brother, "Call me later and explain."

He immediately started walking and chased after her.

He then called out to Lu Lianbai, who was holding the baby, and said in an unquestionable tone, "I'll take you back."

Without giving her any chance to react or refuse, Jing Weimian had already driven the car to the dormitory entrance and glanced at Lu Lianbai, whom she had stopped in the car.

"boarding."

Lu Lianbai stood still for a moment, then finally opened the back door and carried the child into the car.

"I'd like to trouble you, General. Just take me and the baby to the intersection on First Street."

Jing Weimian's hand on the steering wheel twitched, and she frowned slightly: "You live on First Street?"

First Street is located in a relatively remote area, and the security is far worse than in the new district. Why would Lu Lianbai live there?
She glanced in the rearview mirror and saw Lu Lianbai sitting in the back seat, carefully wiping the baby's face in his arms.

Upon hearing her words, Lu Lianbai paused noticeably, then quickly replied, "That place is close to the station, so you can go directly to work at the base."

"Oh."

Jing Weimian subtly withdrew her gaze.

The car was quiet, with only the soft sobbing of the cub.

Perhaps genuinely afraid of her, the little one answered Lu Lianbai's questions in a soft voice, not daring to lift his head, as if afraid of disturbing her and being kicked out of the car.

...Is she really that scary?

Jing Weimian stared straight ahead with calm eyes, but felt increasingly agitated.

When they arrived at the entrance of First Street, the little one was already asleep in Lu Lianbai's arms, his lips tightly pursed and his eyelashes still wet with tears.

Before getting out of the car, Lu Lianbai cradled the child's head in his hand and looked at Jing Weimian, saying, "Thank you, General, for bringing me back."

Jing Weimian turned her head to look at the child in his arms.

The image that inevitably came to mind was that Lu Lianbai's wife was likely waiting for him and his son at home at this moment.

Her face inexplicably darkened, and she remained silent.

Just as he was about to close the car door, Lu Lianbai couldn't help but add one more thing:
"The general has only recently recovered, so he should take good care of himself when he gets back."

Jing Weimian said "Hmm" indifferently, and with the car door closing, she restarted the car and drove away.

Jing Weimian drove the car out of the street and parked it by the roadside.

She raised her eyes again, staring at the spot in the rearview mirror where Lu Lianbai and the child had sat not long ago, her emotions unclear.

After a while, she finally regained her composure and pulled out a few small, translucent, light blue pearls from the inside pocket of her coat.

When she and Lu Lianbai got off at the supply station to look for the child, she followed Lu Lianbai to a grassy area and found these small and beautiful pearls next to the stones on the grass.

At that moment, Lu Lianbai was still on the phone with Jing Weichen when Jing Weimian's peripheral vision fell on the small pearls under the crack in the rock. She felt that these small pearls were both familiar and strange, as if she had seen them somewhere before.

At this moment, as Jing Weimian examined the small pearl in her hand, she still felt a strange emotion surging through her heart and lungs.

He held one of the pearls against his fingertip and carefully rotated it a few times.

For some reason, I noticed the faint pearly luster shimmering on the thin membrane of the pearl.

What flashed through my mind was something like the shimmering, deep-sea waves that had appeared in my dream not long ago…

Jing Weimian carefully examined each pearl before finally putting it back in her pocket.

Drive directly to the research institute, which is not far from the East District.

Professor Xiya was quite surprised to hear from his assistant, who had rushed over, about General Jing's sudden visit.

She stopped her work and rushed back to her office, where she saw Jing Weimian standing with her arms crossed in front of her desk, her face expressionless.

Professor Xiya raised an eyebrow, walked in, and asked, "What's wrong with the General this time?" Jing Weimian tilted her chin slightly to the right, indicating to Professor Xiya that she should look at the transparent bag on the table.

"What's this, a pearl?"

Professor Xiya returned to his desk, picked up the bag, and examined it carefully. "Huh?" he exclaimed. "Something's not right. The luster of this pearl is clearly different from that of ordinary pearls on the market."

Jing Weimian nodded. "That's why I brought it over, hoping the professor could help me with the testing."

Professor Xiya found it increasingly peculiar. "Where did the General get this from?"

Jing Weimian remained silent for a moment before giving a compromise answer.

"I'm not at liberty to disclose that right now. I'll discuss it with the professor in detail once the test results are available."

Upon hearing this, Professor Xiya examined the pinkish-blue pearl in his hand again, his expression becoming even more subtle:
"...Could this be related to the ancient marine life that the general has been researching and searching for?"

"I have no idea."

She asked Professor Xiya to notify her as soon as she had the results. When she left the research institute and got back to her car, Jing Weimian's mind was still a jumble of random thoughts.

So much so that when the phone rang, Jing Weimian was a beat slow to react and press the answer button.

"General! The pursuit team has tracked the escaped experimental subject D677 using the full frequency band and obtained the latest radar data. According to the data star positioning, D677's current location is exactly in the civilian residential area of ​​the First Street in the East District."

Jing Weimian's brow furrowed: "The First Street in the East District?"

Isn't that where Lu Lianbai and his family of three live?
How did D677 end up there?

Jing Weimian knew that the pollution level of the D677 experimental subject was extremely high, and if it were to appear on First Street at this time... the consequences would be unimaginable.

She couldn't help but think of Lu Lianbai and his child, and realized that she simply couldn't accept that something had happened to them because of this.

"Yes, Admiral. The radar data is largely accurate. The pursuit fleet is now en route to the area at full speed to conduct the search—"

Before Chen Yan could finish speaking on the phone, Jing Weimian immediately sent him her location:

"Come pick me up first, I'm near the East District right now."

Meanwhile, the residences on First Street.

After Lu Lianbai put the sleeping child into the crib, he began to pack his things to take with him when he left.

He opened the wardrobe and calmly and silently began packing his and his baby's belongings.

Not long after, the blankets on the small bed behind them were pushed aside.

Jing Xiaoyu groggily crawled out of bed, rubbed her swollen eyes, and looked up at her father who was tidying up clothes beside her.

As she watched, her nostrils twitched, as if she had realized something, and she choked out a question:
"Dad, where are we going?"

Lu Lianbai paused, his ambiguous expression vanishing.

He turned and walked back to the bedside, stroked the little fish's round face, tried his best to keep his expression steady, and coaxed it gently:
"How about we go back to Planet Gro and visit Auntie first?"

But Jing Xiaoyu was so clever, how could she be easily fooled?

From the little guy's perspective, everything was fine when he went to the medical department with his dad in the morning. He even imagined and looked forward to meeting his mom.

But when they finally met, his mother wouldn't even let him touch her. He even caused his father to argue with his mother, and he overheard his mother saying that she didn't like him...

Not only that, now as soon as he gets home, his father packs his bags and takes him away from the capital planet...

It's obvious that Mom hates him so much that she doesn't want to see him on the capital planet anymore...

Jing Xiaoyu felt increasingly aggrieved as she thought about it, and suddenly she threw herself into her father's arms, tears streaming down her face, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Mommy, why don't you like Xiaoyu?"

"Dad...is it because...because Xiaoyu did something wrong?"
