Chapter 330 Five Years Later
Five years later.
The Botanical Research Institute can be said to be the busiest department in the entire empire.
As the deputy minister, Ai Moye is even busier.
She starts work at eight in the morning and should get off work at five, but the emails that come in like snowflakes fill up the terminal mailbox. It always takes nine or ten in the evening to complete the processing.
Then drive home at least eleven or twelve.
Day after day, it is more intense than a spinning top.
But the good thing is that the brain is filled with various affairs and there is no time to think too much.
It was a rare Saturday, and I was able to get home before eight o'clock.
Because it was raining, Ai Moye held an umbrella. As soon as she arrived at the gate of the castle, she saw the housekeeper, Ms. Mary, coming to greet her.
"It's rare for you to get off work so early, Miss Ai."
Time did not leave any traces on Mary's face. In fact, for interstellar people, five years is just a period of time in a long life with a weak sense of existence.
Ai Moye shook the rain off the umbrella and handed it to Mary after folding it.
"The new rice just launched has caused a warm response in the interstellar space, and my work can come to an end." Ai Moye walked into the castle, and the maids pushed open the heavy door.
After entering, Ai Moye took off her black stilettos and changed into comfortable slippers at home.
Mary went to prepare midnight snacks, and Ai Moye went straight upstairs to the children's room.
First knocked on the door politely, and Ai Moye said, "Ai Beibei, mommy is coming in."
After pushing the door in, the room was very dark, except for a blue light under the small library.
Ai Moye tiptoed over and squatted next to a pile of blankets.
Blue light emanated from the blanket, and the dim room began to change. Countless three-dimensional planet projections shone between the ceiling and the ground, and the vast universe changed its brilliance in the small room.
Ai Moye clapped her hands in encouragement, "A homemade cosmic projection? Beibei is so smart. Mommy feels like she is really in the universe."
The projection suddenly disappeared, and all the lights in the room came on with a snap.
The blanket was lifted, revealing a cute face of an indifferent child, with strange light flashing in his ice-blue eyes.
"Mom, you got off work so early today."
Ai Moye hugged the cub in her arms with her backhand, and kissed the top of the boy's black hair happily.
"Today is Saturday, so of course Mommy has to come back early to accompany the baby."
Ai Beibei closed her eyes, and her chubby little hands gently patted Ai Moye's back.
This child is Ai Moye's baby, with beautiful facial features similar to hers, soft and curly black hair, and ice-blue arrogant and indifferent eyes from his father's genes.
Five years ago, Ai Moye had just returned to the empire and gave birth prematurely due to emotional instability.
I never imagined that giving birth to a child would be more grand than giving birth to a nuclear bomb.
Needless to say, Mrs. Emma and the elders of the Felix family also gathered in the hospital.
Even the Botanical Research Institute, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Medical Department, the Military Department, and almost all the acquaintances who were not involved in the interstellar battle and could spare time, were anxious and nervous to welcome the birth of this child.
The hospital was surrounded by people, and the scene was as if the end of the world was coming.
Because the interstellar has a complete set of procedures to assist pregnant women in childbirth, Ai Moye gave birth easily. After waking up from a nap, the crying child in the cradle was handed to her.
She had not yet decided on the name of the child, and Mrs. Emma and the elders also had a dispute due to disagreements.
Later, they compromised and called each other their own names.
What Douding, Naibao, Zhenzhen, Guigui, even Dandan, Tietie, Yusheng...
When he was one or two years old, facing different names from different people, Abeibei was completely confused and in standby mode.
But he was a precocious and wise child, and he could quickly judge whether these people were calling him from their tone.
No matter how serious and arrogant a person is, if he starts to call her with a disgusting, age-inappropriate and gender-inappropriate clip sound, there is no doubt that he is calling her.
Until now, five-year-old Abeibei can remember in detail which elders gave her thirty or forty nicknames.
Taking Abeibei downstairs, Mary came up and said, "The lady just called back and she will stay in the palace until late."
Ai Moye nodded, "Then I will take Beibei back to the apartment first. As for the midnight snack, can you pack it for me?"
Mary said embarrassedly, "It's raining outside, why don't you stay?"
Ai Moye shook her head gently, and Mary no longer insisted and immediately went to pack the food.
On the way back to the city center, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Beibei curled up in the seat and slept soundly.
The heating was turned on very high, so the little guy's fair face was covered with a layer of cute blush, and his chubby little hands gently held the corner of Ai Moye's clothes, and he snuggled up to her and fell asleep obediently.
Ai Moye caressed the little guy's face lovingly, with the most gentle smile in her eyes.
Although this child was born as the heir of the Felix family, Ai Moye did not want him to grow up in that family.
The nobles had too many responsibilities and too many rules, which led to some suppression of personality and it was easy to grow into a pervert. This was Ai Moye's personal understanding.
Usually, on weekdays, Abebe would spend time in the castle, carefully taken care of by Mrs. Emma and the nanny team.
But on weekends or holidays, Ai Moye would take him back to the small apartment to spend ordinary parent-child time.
Mrs. Emma would not often come to disturb the happy time of mother and son, but security and material life could not be left behind to ensure that no accidents would occur.
When the car arrived at the apartment, Ai Moye was about to pick up Ai Beibei, but saw a snow-white two-tailed white fox waiting quietly at the door.
"Dada, are you here to pick us up again?"
Dada came forward and circled Ai Moye twice. Like when she was a child, she stretched out her tongue to lick Ai Moye, then squatted down and signaled Ai Moye to put Beibei on her.
Five years is also very short for star beasts, but it is enough for Dada to grow from a little guy to a species comparable to an adult tiger.
Her hair is snow-white, her green eyes are more brilliant than jade, her limbs are slender but very powerful, and she is Ai Moye's most loyal fighting partner.
After the two people and one beast returned to the apartment, Ai Moye took Beibei back to the room.
Beibei turned over on the small bed in the tree house, and the safety lock hanging on his neck fell out.
Ai Moye looked dazed, and it took a long time before she picked up the golden lock and rubbed it carefully.
Five years.
For the former earthlings, how many five-year periods can be divided into in a lifetime?
But interstellar people feel that five years is only a very small part of time. Even if it is wasted or abandoned, they will not regret wasting their lives.
That person also said that time will dilute the longing.
Then why, after five years, she still can't forget every bit of their time together?
Seeing things reminds you of someone, which is the most painful.
Ai Moye looked sad, and Dada came over, rubbed her intimately, and made a meowing sound.
Ai Moye rubbed her head and said softly, "Tomorrow, let's go back to Planet 2B."
