Chapter 247: Chapter 85: Picnic (Part 2)
The brothers’ almost contrasting personalities were quite interesting. Ke Xing held Yiyi up in front of the virtual screen for a good while. Once Yiyi had his fill, and the livestream audience had thoroughly admired his adorable close-up, Ke Xing carried the still endlessly babbling Yiyi away.
Du Xixi patted the little faces of her two sons. Just as the hovercar dispatched to pick them up arrived, Du Xixi and the others boarded it together — the spacious back seat of the hovercar was enough to accommodate all of them.
The lively child and the calm child were both placed in comfortable baby seats, with Ke Xing watching them closely. Less than three months old, they lay strapped in the seats, helplessly waving their arms and legs, unable even to turn over.
"Our picnic spot is by a small river, with expansive grounds and abundant wild plants. It’s said there are even some edible wild animals around," Du Xixi said as she allowed Ke Lian to drape a light blanket over her.
She turned to pick up a tablet, and with a few light swipes of her fingers, the 3D imaging of the picnic spot was cast into the air. It wasn’t just for Du Xixi and the others to see but also displayed for the livestream audience.
Pointing to a small hill in the image, Du Xixi blinked at the livestream and the few people beside her, "The snow here has completely melted, and it’s quite close to the river. Today’s weather is sunny and won’t rain, so let’s set up the tent here for our picnic!"
Ke Xing shook his grandchild’s little hands with no objection to Du Xixi’s decision. 2569 also nodded and began scanning the 3D model to calculate the best setup for the tent.
Ke Lian, meanwhile, lowered his head and peeled a big apple for Du Xixi, slicing it before holding it to her mouth, "You eat some apple first. Later, I’ll set up the tent with 2569."
Du Xixi smiled and took a bite, savoring the crisp sweetness of the apple, only to see Ke Lian rotate the bitten piece before putting it directly into his own mouth.
Du Xixi’s cheeks quietly turned red.
"So sweet!" Ke Lian whispered into Du Xixi’s ear, making her already warm ears even hotter, so much so that it made her restless.
Du Xixi bit her lower lip, glancing at Ke Xing and 2569, seeing that one seemed engrossed in watching the children, and the other was bent over an electronic screen, lost in thought, apparently unaware of the interaction between her and Ke Lian.
Having had children and growing increasingly like an old married couple with Ke Lian, Du Xixi breathed a sigh of relief, not even sure why she felt bashful.
Du Xixi and Ke Lian slowly held hands, their affection and intimacy as a couple were plain to see.
Unfortunately, Du Xixi, who had been focused on capturing the reactions of 2569 and Ke Xing, forgot that she was livestreaming in full view. This meant that the audience not only saw them but could see everything clearly.
[——Hehehe! Hehehe!
——Wow, is this the way the Madam and Marshal interact? So sweet!
——Speaking of which, it seems the Madam and the Marshal have only been married for about a year? Still newlyweds! Having little romantic moments is normal...
——What to say? Just envy the Marshal!
——LS+1, why isn’t the Madam’s shy expression directed at me! So heartbroken!

Although the hovercar was driverless, it was fast and steady. After determining the destination, it took only ten minutes for Du Xixi and the group to be taken to their picnic spot.
It wasn’t as fast as Rob, of course, but it was already considered highly performant compared to the hovercars currently on the market.
Du Xixi was helped off the hovercar by Ke Lian. The slightly chilly wind and the warmth of the sunshine came together, making it pleasantly comfortable. Du Xixi sighed contentedly.
However, Yiyi and Er Er were still little kids, so they weren’t immediately carried out. Instead, Ke Xing waited until they reached the small hillside, where 2569 and Ke Lian quickly set up the tent and laid soft thick mats inside, before carrying them down from the hovercar.
Yiyi and Er Er didn’t even have a chance to feel the cold wind on CD–0329 Star; they were taken straight into the warm tent by their grandfather. When they were placed down, they weren’t touching solid ground but soft furry pads.
