Chapter 266: Chapter 91 Wine Brew_2
...
——Rice wine, rice wine, no matter what, it’s still a kind of alcohol, and drinking it can make you tipsy... In our Star Era, I really haven’t tasted alcohol! What exactly does it taste like? Is it similar to drinking a Nutrition Supplement, or is it more like soup?
——In the ancient Blue Star thousands of years ago, alcohol was a common beverage with a wide variety. You could classify different strengths by their alcohol content, or divide them finely based on brewing materials. According to ancient historical records, it was common on Blue Star in ancient times to say "Fine wine for the wise ruler." It’s just a pity that after thousands of years of turmoil, the culture of wine tasting has long been lost. Thank you very much, madam, for allowing us to taste the flavor of wine again!
——An Ancient History Department class rep makes a surprise appearance upstairs!
It could also be a professor from the Ancient History Department, after all, among our fans there are many talented people. Wasn’t there a similar professor who popped up last time?

No matter how much the fan viewers looked forward to the rice wine, Du Xixi had already completed today’s live stream. She said, "See you at the next live stream," and swiftly closed the streaming room.
Almost the moment the virtual screen of the live stream disappeared, two little ones finally broke free from Ke Lian’s restraint and pounced into Du Xixi’s arms. It seemed as if they had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
"Their grip is really strong, I almost lost control of them." Not only were the two little ones clinging to Du Xixi, but thinking about it now, it seems even Ke Lian couldn’t bear to be apart from Du Xixi. At this moment, Ke Lian was slightly lowering his head, somewhat aggrievedly complaining to Du Xixi.
Du Xixi gently soothed the two children while playfully rolling her eyes at Ke Lian.
How strong could the grip of little kids be? Even if they were naturally strong, could Ke Lian, the Imperial Marshal who could defeat an Insect Clan with a single blow, not handle two nursing infants who were barely three months old and not even weaned?
Shortly after exiting the kitchen, Ke Xing, who had been out, returned home. Du Xixi and Ke Lian exchanged a glance; how could they not guess that Ke Xing was worried about the two little ones at home? Otherwise, what reason would he have to come back so early?
"Come to grandpa, little ones." Upon hearing Ke Xing’s voice, the two nursing infants immediately turned to him and then "ruthlessly" abandoned their mother, Du Xixi, and went into Ke Xing’s arms.
In this household, when asked who Yiyi and Er Er are closest to, there is no doubt it is Du Xixi, their biological mother. But under Du Xixi, it is not Ke Lian, their father, but rather their grandfather, Ke Xing.
Having temporarily freed herself from the kids, Du Xixi shrugged and relaxed into the large pillows on the sofa with no semblance of a dignified image.
She let Ke Lian massage her sore arms and, noticing that Ke Lian looked expressionless and slightly displeased, thoughtfully glanced at the three of them—grandfather and grandchildren—enjoying themselves nearby.
Du Xixi certainly didn’t think Ke Lian’s displeasure was directed at her. Knowing Ke Lian well, with an intuitive understanding between them, Du Xixi could guess without asking that Ke Lian felt uneasy because the kids were close to Du Xixi and Ke Xing but not to him.
"Regretting it now, aren’t you? You only focused on me before and always left the kids to Dad and brother!" Du Xixi teased Ke Lian, saying under his helpless gaze, "They not only get close to Dad but also to brother. The only one they’re not close to is you. That’s because, as their father, you haven’t given them enough care and love."
Don’t underestimate kids just because they’re young and don’t remember things. Their perception of the world is sharp! Just like that time when we first arrived at CD-0329 Star for a picnic, Ke Xing teased Yiyi just for fun, and Yiyi didn’t want to talk to him no matter how much he coaxed, showing how "grudge-holding" kids can be.
Ke Xing is a responsible father; he also loves the two kids very much. However, he’s also an overly dutiful husband; his greatest love will always be Du Xixi. When it came to caring for Du Xixi and the kids, Ke Xing chose the former without hesitation.
When you gain some things, you’re bound to lose others. Ke Lian’s wholehearted attention to Du Xixi naturally made him miss the initial opportunity to gain the kids’ trust.
Even Chen Yin, who has no blood relation, because he genuinely wants to take good care of Yiyi and Er Er, they still remember him. Several times on video calls, they’ve been enthusiastic towards Chen Yin.
