Lu Mingming had always been a person of her word.
Thinking of this, she quickly opened her lightbrain.
In the pinned chat window, the conversation with the other party still remained at the last thank you.
The little white tiger, nestled in the warmth of her neck, had happily narrowed its eyes, sniffing the fragrant scent of her hair, and was about to fall asleep.
Drowsily, it was suddenly kicked by a little Samoyed, and its body jolted awake.
The little guy had just bared its teeth at the puppy when it was startled by the Samoyed's almost twitching reminder from across the way.
It doubtfully shifted its gaze, and finally its eyes fixed on Lu Mingming's star net screen behind Xue Gao.
It happened to be the chat window with him.
At this, even the most persistent sleepiness was scared away. The little guy's neck puffed out a circle of white fluff, appearing like a scarf in its daze – it was scared.
It stiffly got up, pretending to be casual, and with awkward movements, walked to Lu Mingming's arm, tilting its little face to gaze at the screen.
The little guy wanted to see what Lu Mingming was doing, but it was also guilty and afraid of its true identity being discovered.
Lu Mingming unconsciously patted the little white tiger's head with her palm, stroking it from the skull all the way down to the tailbone. Several tufts of thick undercoat floated in the air.
The little white tiger felt as though the other party's touch was a warning mixed with a massage, and its muscles instantly tensed up.
"I'm a little embarrassed..."
It heard Lu Mingming softly mutter.
The next moment, Lu Mingming seemed to make a major decision. She pressed the
As usual, there was no reply.
Oh, so that's what it was about.
A spark flashed in the little white tiger's mind. The word "sing" precisely hit its memory nerve.
In a blink, it thought again that next time it must agree on a specific time with Lu Mingming, so she wouldn't always miss her chance.
And... it had not spoken to Lu Mingming twice already.
After waiting for about five minutes, there was no reply.
Lu Mingming let out a soft sigh, shedding the burden from her heart.
Fortunately, the other party was busy. Otherwise, being late again would have been truly embarrassing.
She continued, "I see you're not online, so I'll send you a recording of me singing this song."
Lu Mingming quickly got up and poured a glass of warm water, first to moisten her throat, so she wouldn't crack her voice.
The warm water trickling down her throat made it feel a bit better. Lu Mingming wiped away the lingering moisture on her lips, and turned to look.
The little cubs were sitting in a row on the pillow. The eyes of both cubs were filled with anticipation, quietly waiting for the great musician to showcase her singing voice.
She was stunned for a moment, then "pfft," she chuckled, her eyes curving into two cute crescent moons, and the joy on her face seemed to overflow from the dimples on her lips.
Lu Mingming reached out and gently petted each cub on the ear.
"Sister is going to sing now, be quiet."
She lightly coughed to relieve her nervousness and pressed the recording button again.
A light and ethereal hum emerged from Lu Mingming's throat, captivating like the bass notes of a piano, giving a sense of peace and grounding.
Her tone was magnetic and gentle, with a strong attraction, making one want to move closer every second.
As the melody of the song shifted, her voice became rich and melodious in every turn, and also as clear and cheerful as a lark.
The lingering sound filled the air, and the interstellar cubs remained in a daze for a long time.
It was like a familiar melody buried in memory, drifting from the galaxy, appearing in their lives and replaying, highlighting and illuminating future hope.
In an interstellar world where fragmented culture was prevalent, when had they ever heard such a profound song again?
After listening to the playback of her singing again, she found that the effect of the first recording was actually quite good.
Lu Mingming decided to send this version.
Being able to avoid interaction brought her, an old social recluse, a little bit of joy.
After finishing everything, seeing that both cubs were still in a daze, Lu Mingming was not surprised at all.
Ode to Joy was a piano piece composed by a famous pianist from Earth, which was later given lyrics and became a globally popular song.
The first time Lu Mingming heard it, she was deeply captivated by its melody. It was as if she could see the prosperity and development of the country in peacetime, and people happily dancing together, creating a scene of happiness from small families to the entire nation.
"How was it? Did sister sing well?"
Lu Mingming nestled between the cubs, rubbing her cheeks against their plump little faces. The soft fluff tickled her nose.
The little white tiger reacted and was the first to nuzzle back affectionately with its wet nose.
At the same time, he heard a familiar clear male voice speak in his mental sea: "Send me that song by Lu Mingming."
After living together for a long time, the two cubs were no longer as formal as "Your Highness, Your Highness" and had become best friends who fought and played all day.
The most obvious manifestation was that they would bicker with each other regardless of their status.
Why should that be? That song was sung to him by Lu Mingming.
The little white tiger sneered in its heart, turned its head away, and continued to snuggle, pretending not to hear.
"If you don't give it to me, I'll expose you to Lu Mingming."
Threatening him?
The little white tiger's eyes dimmed. Its gaze passed through the air filled with floating fluff, over Lu Mingming's nose, and landed on her innocent, angelically sweet smile.
What a heartless person. Don't let me catch you by the hair.
Lu Mingming, unaware of the battle raging between the two cubs, leaned back on the pillow, her entire chin sinking into the velvet cushion.
Lu Mingming always adhered to the principle of not pushing herself to the limit. Her fingers quickly scrolled through the screen, searching for interesting attractions around Sal City.
As the saying goes, it's important to balance work and rest. She wanted to take a day off to go out and play with the cubs.
"Cubs, do you have anywhere you want to go?"
Lu Mingming searched for guides on the star net tourism forum and found a few famous tourist attractions that were nearby.
The first was the Dreamy Sea of Stars, where it was said one could see meteors and make wishes every day.
The second was a small forest to the northwest, which firmly occupied the second place with its reputation for being the most还原 to ancient forests.
The last one was the Interstellar Park, which perfectly embodied the combination of technology and nature.
Lu Mingming curiously looked at all the photos of each attraction. As someone from Earth, she, a rough person, found it difficult to make a choice, so she asked the cubs to pick one together.
The little Samoyed glanced at the screen, quickly scanning all the information into its mind, and its little paws swiftly pressed on "Dreamy Sea of Stars."
Then, its little meat paws slowly moved to a small line of text in the night program: celebrity Yi Fu would be participating that night.
It could be said to be the best value for money.
Lu Mingming's eyes lit up as if she had found a great bargain.
She didn't know who Yi Fu was, but spending the price of one ticket to not only see the attraction but also a celebrity, wasn't that earning back the cost?
The little white tiger was indifferent to which one they chose. It lazily stretched its body and yawned. Then, it smacked its lips and listlessly looked at the pictures on the screen. Since they all had intentions, it nodded in agreement.
Having been to many places, these attractions held no particular surprise for the little white tiger, so it was fine to let them choose.
At this moment, Orlanar was still nonchalant.
He had no idea that a fiercely competitive rival would appear during their trip.
Having decided on the travel destination with satisfaction, Lu Mingming exited the travel forum, got up from the bed, and called out:
"Let's go eat dinner first. Sister will make you picnic food for tomorrow!"
