The tutor in the palace assigned many homework assignments to the little child, but the homework assigned by the tutor was not the same as the little child’s winter vacation workbook.
Even though he had been studying for almost half a month, the little child hadn’t done his own winter vacation homework yet.
“Daddy, Ningning knows.”
The little child, who was placed on the blanket on the floor, sniffled.
It was still early before the start of school, so even though Zhan Xi reminded him, the little child wasn’t in a hurry at all.
After Zhan Xi left, there was only the little child and Lele left on the floor.
Lele saw Dad Ningning’s eyes were still red, so he raised his little hand to wipe them for him.
The little child glanced at the window of the spaceship, his voice still a bit hoarse, “Ningning won’t be able to see his big brother for a long time.”
“I’m okay, Brother, I’m okay. Ningning loves Brother the most.”
Thinking of his big brother, after saying a few more words, the little child took out his star device.
Daddy and Uncle Ling Qi weren’t here, and big brother wasn’t here either, so the little child could play with the star device for a while.
“Oh, the star device is broken.”
After opening the star device, the little child, who found that there were fewer mini-games inside, was puzzled, “There used to be 435 mini-games, but now there are only 40.”
Among the 40 mini-games, they were all childish games that the little child didn’t like.
His favorite shooting game was also gone!
The little child was completely baffled. He poked at the star device by himself for a while, but still couldn’t find the shooting game.
After failing to solve it himself, the little child called Wagner.
“Wagner, is your shooting game still there?”
“It is. What’s wrong?”
Wagner had just woken up not long ago. Now that he was full, he wanted to find the little child. “Ningning, do you want to play now? Savi has also registered an account. We can play together.”
The little child: “...”
The little child was even more confused. “The games on my star device are all gone.”
Wagner was also stunned at his words.
Both children on the phone were lost in thought for a while, and eventually Wagner, who had experience, spoke up, “Ningning, did your dad touch your phone?”
“No.”
The little child replied honestly, “Big brother touched it.”
Wagner affirmed, “It must be Caesar. Ningning, he set your phone to child mode!”
Star devices in child mode filter out many games and content unsuitable for children, including videos and text.
Just a moment ago, the little child was still thinking about his big brother, but now he was starting to feel upset.
“Was it Brother who made the games disappear?”
“Yeah! My dad did it to me before, and I begged him for a long time.”
“Did your dad fix it for you when you begged him?” Ningning asked eagerly.
Wagner said frankly, “No, even though I begged him for a long time, he still didn’t fix it for me.”
“Once he got drunk, I secretly took the star device over and persuaded him to fix it for me.”
Ningning: “...”
The little child’s face drooped. “My dad doesn’t drink.”
Zhan Xi used to drink, but since raising his son, he’s basically stopped drinking altogether.
Hearing the little child’s dejected voice, Wagner continued to offer him advice, “Aren’t you going home? Ask another uncle to fix the star device for you.”
The chances of Dad and Uncle Ling Qi fixing the star device were not very high.
The phone call made no progress. After hanging up, the little child angrily called his big brother.
Now back at the palace, the little prince had begun his training. When he received Ningning’s call, Huo Lin temporarily paused his training.
“Ningning, what’s wrong?”
“Brother, did you set Ningning’s star device to child mode?”
“Well, you’re a child, so you should use child mode.”
Huo Lin’s tone was calm, sounding completely justified.
The little child was on the verge of tears. “Ningning doesn’t want child mode, Ningning wants to play games. Wagner is playing games, Ningning wants to play too.”
When he mentioned Wagner, Huo Lin pondered for a few seconds before replying, “Don’t worry, I’ll call Marshal Twain later and remind him to set Wagner’s star device to child mode.”
Ningning, who called to scold his brother, never imagined that he would also implicate his good friend.
“You deliberately provoked Ningning!”
The little child, who was stunned by the provocation, finally lost his temper while clutching his star device, “Ningning doesn’t want to talk to you anymore!”
After hanging up the star device, the little child fell back in frustration, landing on the blanket on the floor. His small chest heaved, and his face flushed red with genuine anger.
Zhan Xi and Ling Qi were in the cockpit, and Ling Qi only came out for meals.
“Ningning, don’t eat too many snacks at once on the spacecraft, or you won’t be able to eat your meal later.”
“Ningning can manage!”
With no games to play, the little child turned his frustration into appetite and devoured the snacks Ling Qi had stocked up.
Seeing the little child still munching away, Ling Qi walked over and touched his little belly. “You can’t eat any more snacks. You’ll have to save some for when we return.”
They couldn’t buy these snacks on the barren planet. If the little child finished them now, there would be none left when they got back.
Ling Qi collected the snacks and made lunch for both children.
After the meal, the children went to bed full and satisfied.
Ling Qi returned to the cockpit and took over from Zhan Xi.
“We’re expected to arrive at night. We’ll spend the night on the spaceship and look for people during the day.”
“Okay.”
By the time they arrived, it was already very late. Two grown men going to find Lele’s mother in the middle of the night didn’t seem quite appropriate.
“Ling Qi, I’ll continue driving. You go and accompany Ningning and Lele to sleep.”
“They don’t need me to accompany them.”
Ling Qi sat down beside him and said to Zhan Xi, “Ningning is already sleeping like a log, but I noticed he wasn’t in a good mood before going to bed.”
“Not in a good mood?”
Zhan Xi thought for a moment and speculated, “He’s probably missing Xiao Lin.”
Ling Qi also felt that was the reason. “He has a good relationship with Xiao Lin. Being separated for so many days must be affecting his mood.”
Both adults thought the little child was missing his brother, but little did they know, the little child was actually feeling frustrated, wondering why his brother had messed with his star device!
He’s simply infuriated.
The little child was really upset this time!
With no games to play, the little child found watching StarNet videos boring too. He used to enjoy seeing many handsome uncles and beautiful aunties dancing gracefully, though their clothes were a bit revealing, and he wondered if they would feel cold.
Now that his brother had tampered with the star device, the little child couldn’t even see the dancing uncles and aunties anymore!
The child who usually played with the star device until he fell asleep was so angry this time that he fell asleep forcibly.
