Chapter 416: Chapter 416: Ajue, I, It Seems I’ve Grown Mushrooms!
The little princess Gu Ruanruan rarely became very excited as she called out, "Grandpa!"
Gu Yuan looked at his granddaughter, who had once been a delicate and cute little girl, now grown so much, and felt a wave of emotion.
He was particularly fond of this pretty granddaughter, being especially close with the younger generation.
But the next moment, he saw beside Gu Ruanruan a beautiful and delicate wolf-eared baby.
He said, "This is..."
Little Gu Chen stepped forward and said generously, "Hello, Uncle, my name is Gu Chen, you can call me Xiaochen."
Gu Yuan had indeed heard from Su Wan and Gu Jue about the fact that they had a son.
But seeing the well-behaved little boy in the screen vaguely reminded him of his brother when he was a child.
All alone, lying in the cold and stark Beastman Research Center as a child...
Gu Yuan sniffed and nodded forcefully.
"Mm, hello, Xiaochen. I’m currently away, but when I return, I’ll bring you a gift."
Little Gu Chen nodded and responded obediently.
This uncle seemed quite nice.
On this end, Gu Yuan spoke tenderly with the two children for a while, and then chatted with his son Gu Zilan for some time.
His heart was filled with soft emotions.
He wanted to hurry home!
Then Gu Jue abruptly shut off the projection.
He said indifferently, "We’ll talk about the rest later. You should go and get a check-up to see if being a lion for an extended period has had any effect on your body or brain."
Gu Yuan’s mouth twitched.
Sure enough, his brother wasn’t as cute when he grew up!
Far inferior to Xiaochen!
Gu Jue didn’t have the time to care about how many thoughts his older brother had.
After ensuring the return voyage was set, he immediately headed to his private resting room.
Because he had been preoccupied, Gu Jue was still unaware of any issues Su Wan’s body might have or what she had been through during this time.
By the time he reached his private resting room, he saw Su Wan had already taken a bath and was sleeping in the soft bed.
Enveloped in the soft white bedding, her eyes slightly narrowed, she seemed less stern.
And a bit more docile.
Gu Jue felt a stir in his heart as he walked over quietly and simply tucked Su Wan in properly.
Turning around, he walked into the bathroom to take a shower first.
However, Su Wan, though tired, had good hearing. She opened her eyes and saw the silhouette of Gu Jue entering the bathroom.
Oh, Ajue must be done with his work.
Su Wan blinked and decided to sleep a bit longer when she suddenly felt something was off.
She slowly pulled back the blanket and then looked at the thing in the palm of her hand.
A small, white, Little Mushroom!
Gu Jue quickly finished grooming himself, even drying his hair, and thought about quickly curling up with his soft wife for a good sleep.
He knew that he had almost lost control of his spiritual power before.
But nevertheless, now that he had found his wife, everything felt better than anything else.
But when Gu Jue returned to the bedroom, he saw his petite wife sitting there, lost in thought.
"Wanwan, what’s wrong?" he thought she might be feeling unwell.
At that moment, Su Wan, with her long hair spread out, wearing a white nightgown, and her beautiful features had a hint of innocence.
She said softly, "Ajue, I think I’ve grown a mushroom..."
Gu Jue: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This cannot be!
Gu Jue hurried over to see, then immediately wrapped his arms around his petite wife’s shoulders, "Wanwan, what exactly happened? Are you having a nightmare?"
Su Wan shook her head.
Then, she spread out her small hand and, within the beautiful palm, a white little mushroom appeared out of thin air.
A few seconds later, it disappeared again.
Gu Jue: "..."
The couple fell silent for several seconds before Gu Jue was the first to speak.
"Is this the kind of mushroom that opens the gates of space-time?"
Su Wan nodded.
She said, "I don’t know, I just woke up when I heard you coming back, and then my palm was itching, and this thing appeared."
"Later, I could control its appearance and disappearance on my own."
Gu Jue was more worried about his delicate wife’s health. He said with concern, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Shall I have someone come over and check on you?"
Su Wan: "I’m fine, I’ve already had a check-up with them before, and this mushroom doesn’t affect me now. I’m just curious why this thing would follow me."
Su Wan truly worried that one day she would wake up and find herself in that space again.
Gu Jue: "Don’t worry, it probably has something to do with your superpower, after all, you have the Spatial Element Superpower, and these mushrooms are the medium for opening the gates of space-time."
"Stop thinking about it; we’ll have someone take a look at it when we get back."
"Okay."
For some reason, Su Wan felt especially safe by Gu Jue’s side.
Previously, in the Landis City space, Su Wan, alone, suffered much and still persevered to rescue her companions.
But by Gu Jue’s side, she instantly became soft.
Nestling into his warm embrace.
Su Wan whispered, "Ajue, I want to sleep hugging your big tail."
Gu Jue had no objections.
The fluffy big tail skillfully snuggled into Su Wan’s embrace.
Holding the fluffy big tail, Su Wan squinted her eyes and finally fell into a deep sleep.
She was truly exhausted.
**
Although this assessment encountered unexpected events,
in some ways, the people of the Eighth Starship Fleet also unraveled the secret of the Wasted Star and completed the mission.
Along with those residents, they returned from the Utopia-like Landis City to the reality of the abandoned Landis Star.
No one could go to that place anymore.
The strange white mushrooms had also disappeared.
But only Su Wan and Gu Jue knew that the little white mushrooms hadn’t really vanished.
Of course, this achievement earned the Eighth Starship Fleet a high score.
And the reorganized Seventh Starship Fleet also passed the review.
Next, they had to help settle those residents,
and arrange for some who regained their memories to be sent home.
Su Wan also wanted to stay with her companions, but because she suddenly ’grew mushrooms’,
and was suspected of being pregnant,
she could only return to the main star for a systematic check-up first.
Miao Yue had a great relationship with Su Wan, even though there was nearly a forty-year age difference.
She said with a surprised face, "I heard from Xiaojue that you’re pregnant again?"
Su Wan smiled lightly, "It’s not confirmed yet. Sister Ouyang said it’s still too early, but due to the mission, I’m a bit worried and have decided to return to the main star early to have a thorough check-up."
Miao Yue paused, then said, "You really are a miraculous girl. When I first met you, you were so cool and impressive, leading people to rescue others. And now, sitting beside me, talking about pregnancy, it’s like you’re a different person."
Su Wan said with a cry of laughter, "I was on a mission at that time, and now, I’m chatting with family."
Miao Yue really liked the word family.
She nodded her head and finally said, "Xiaojue is so lucky to have met you."
Su Wan thought of her first encounter, acquaintance, and love with Ajue.
She said softly, "Being with him is also my luck."
