Representatives from countless media outlets gathered outside the operating room, hoping to capture the precious moment of the birth of the Second Miss. Unexpectedly, what was captured was Lu Xingye staggering to receive his daughter. The mix of joy, bewilderment, and incredulity conveyed through the photos touched everyone who saw them. This little girl came into the world carrying the love of numerous people, especially her father’s love.

Even when Lyss saw this photo later, he couldn’t help but be moved. Lu Xingye felt a bit uneasy, fearing that Lyss might find him awkward.

“Where’s the awkwardness?” Lyss lightly patted the sleeping Lin Lang in his arms, pointing to the screen on the terminal. “So young and handsome, and you call this awkward? I actually wonder, where does this habit of self-deprecation come from?”

Lu Xingye, holding the little daughter, sighed, “No way, my wife is beautiful and holds high status. I’m just a stay-at-home husband. I need to understand my place to avoid being thrown out, right, Lin Xi?”

The little daughter blinked, her golden eyes full of seriousness, reaching out as if to touch his hair.

“You see, our second treasure also thinks I make sense.” Lu Xingye nodded solemnly, then frowned a bit. “But why won’t you sleep, huh? Your sister wasn’t like this when she was little.”

Lin Lang was very well-behaved when she was young, as if she knew it wasn’t easy for Lyss to take care of her alone. She was easy to care for, drinking her nutrients and falling asleep right after. For some reason, Lin Xi seemed to be a natural troublemaker. She didn’t like to sleep and had to be held. Even if Lu Xingye sat down for a while, it was unacceptable for her. Her eyes, so much like Lyss’s, never blinked, always watching her father’s movements. The moment Lu Xingye sat down, she would start to cry.

Lyss, with a heart of stone, suggested, “Put her in the crib. She’ll cry a couple of times and then stop.”

Lu Xingye couldn’t believe it. “I can handle a bit of tiredness, but I can’t let the baby cry.”

The result of handling the baby this way was that when both Lyss and Lu Xingye returned from work, Lin Xi clung to them even tighter than Lin Lang used to. Sometimes when Lyss and Lu Xingye came home late, Lin Xi would stick to her sister like a shadow, crawling around her and making her laugh. Lin Lang loved her, but soon she couldn’t carry her anymore.

“Oh, Lin Xi, why are you getting heavy so fast? Sister can’t carry you like this. Is it because Mommy is personally feeding her?”

Lyss was working on the terminal when he heard this. He seemed fine after giving birth to Lin Xi, going back to work the next day as if nothing had happened. He left all the child-rearing duties to Lu Xingye. And his body’s various indicators were normal. His reproductive system was as normal as anyone else’s. If he wasn’t Triss’s Chief, the hospital where he gave birth might have studied him thoroughly.

“I only fed her for a month,” Lyss said without looking up. “It’s not some magical elixir. Alphas just gain weight a bit faster at first. And it’s also because of your dad. If you grew up with your dad, you’d probably grow faster than Lin Xi.”

Lin Xi’s personality was almost the opposite of Lin Lang’s. Even though she was only a few months old, she didn’t cry or smile much. She was clingy but would stare at you without blinking. She wasn’t picky with food, eating whatever Lu Xingye fed her. Only during weaning did she grab Lyss’s clothes and cry pitifully and helplessly. It broke her father’s and sister’s hearts, but Lyss, with a heart of stone, refused to feed her. To establish good habits, he’d rather give in to her father than to the baby.

After weaning, for the past few months, whenever Lin Xi saw Lyss, she’d be stuck to him, her golden eyes watching the magnificent person. It was a different kind of cuteness from Lin Lang.

Lu Xingye had just returned from the research institute, washing his hands in the kitchen and preparing food. Lin Lang sat on the couch, holding Lin Xi, watching Lyss work. Though Lyss was focused on work, he couldn’t help but think that such a simple and happy happiness might one day fall on him.

“Mama, Xixi’s been watching you,” Lin Lang said, looking at her sister and then at Lyss. “Maybe she wants you to hold her.”

Lyss paused for a moment, then sighed softly. “I’ll finish this last bit of work soon.”

Saying this, he looked at the terminal again, and Lin Xi became anxious, reaching out to grab Lyss. Lin Lang was startled and quickly hugged her. “What’s wrong?”

Lin Xi was getting anxious, pointing at Lyss and patting her sister’s arm, blurting out, “Ma… Mama—”

This statement not only stunned the people in the living room but also froze Lu Xingye, who was carrying dishes.

“Sister can speak!” Lin Lang was the first to recover, pleasantly surprised. “Dad, Sister can speak!”

Lyss quickly regained his composure and picked up his youngest daughter. “What did my baby just say?”

Lin Xi leaned against Lyss’s fragrant embrace, grabbing his clothes contentedly. “Ma… Mama…”

“Aw.” Lu Xingye, putting down the dishes, walked over with a smile. “Daddy’s so sad. I’m the one dealing with milk powder and diapers every day. Can’t I get a hug from Mommy?”

Lyss cuddled with his youngest daughter for a while and then handed her over to Lu Xingye. “Instead of feeling sad, let’s strike while the iron’s hot. She might call you ‘Dad’ soon.”

Lu Xingye reached out to take her, and Lin Xi grabbed Lyss’s clothes, not willing to let go. “Ma… Mama…”

Lu Xingye jokingly pushed her hand away, half-seriously saying, “What are you doing, Miss Lin Xi? This is my wife. You can’t just hug him. Understand?”

Lin Xi actually let go, and Lyss looked at them amusedly.

Lu Xingye carried the little girl into the kitchen. Lin Lang, watching Lyss resume working, blinked and asked, “Mama, why have you been so busy with work lately?”

Lyss intended to surprise his daughter, but upon hearing this, he paused, then eventually revealed, “Because I’m taking a break next week.”

Lin Lang hadn’t grasped his meaning yet, but she was also pleasantly surprised. “A break? Can you take me somewhere fun?”

Due to work commitments, although Lyss spent a lot of time at home, he unavoidably neglected some things. Seeing Lin Lang’s expectant and surprised eyes, he felt a bit guilty.

“It’s to take you and your sister out for fun.” Lyss ruffled Lin Lang’s head. “To see the Starfall Sea.”

Lin Lang hesitated for a moment and then almost jumped off the couch. “Really?!”

“Of course.” Lyss smiled and went back to finishing his work. “If you don’t believe me, ask your dad.”

Lin Lang immediately turned and ran into the kitchen. “Dad—Mommy said we’re going to the Starfall Sea next week! Why didn’t you tell me?”

Successfully diverting her daughter to find Lu Xingye, Lyss completed the last step of his work with a smile.

The vacation was hard-won, but after half a year, everything had returned to normal. Lyss accumulated a whole year’s worth of leave and soon received approval from the Council. It might be a bit troublesome to take the less-than-a-year-old baby out, but those weren’t things Lyss needed to consider. Lu Xingye had already prepared all the baby supplies and had spent the previous day assembling some things that needed to be attached to the mecha.

On the day of departure, the sun was shining brightly. Lyss held Lin Lang’s hand, Lu Xingye carried Lin Xi, and at first, they didn’t feel much. It wasn’t until they sat on the mecha and left Triss that Lin Lang leaned against the window, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the scenery outside. “It’s so beautiful. Is that the Starfall Sea?”

Lyss, holding the little daughter, moved closer, and Lin Xi, curious, squirmed next to her sister, their faces pressing against each other, looking incredibly cute.

“Starfall Sea is also a sea?” Lin Lang asked curiously. “How did Mommy and Daddy meet there?”

Before Lyss could answer, Lu Xingye, who was operating the mecha, suddenly laughed. “I’m an alpha your mommy bought.”

Lin Lang widened her eyes. “Wow—Mommy’s really rich.”

Lyss couldn’t help but glance at Lu Xingye. “Don’t listen to your dad’s nonsense.”

Lin Lang obediently responded, then turned to her sister and whispered, “Mommy’s embarrassed.”

Lin Xi didn’t understand but nodded seriously. Lyss, both amused and exasperated, gently patted the fuzzy ears of his younger daughter. “You don’t even understand and are nodding along.”

Just as Lyss was playing with his two daughters by the window, a dazzling light suddenly appeared outside. Lu Xingye pulled back the controls to stop the mecha, and Lin Lang instinctively looked over, her emerald eyes slightly widened. “Wow—”

“We’re here.” Lu Xingye stood up and took Lin Xi from Lyss. “Luckily, we’re not too late. The Starfall Sea is still here.”

Lyss watched quietly through the window for a moment, then lightly tapped the mecha’s shell. The next moment, the metallic outer shell of the mecha gradually faded from the top, and bright and brilliant light poured in through the transparent shell into the cabin.

Even Lin Xi, who didn’t understand anything, widened her eyes slightly, and her fuzzy black ears slowly perked up, “Wow—”

Lin Lang looked at the stunning scenery in disbelief. The myriad stars gathered into a vast sea of stars, as if the legendary Milky Way had descended to the mortal realm.

Originally, the mecha didn’t have this function. Lu Xingye’s expression tolerated this change slightly. Despite the dazzling stars outside, his gaze remained firmly fixed on the face of the person next to him. “Is this a gift from Brother?”

“Yes.” Lyss turned with a smile, looking at him. The light of the stars reflected on his handsome face, making him appear more like an unattainable god, yet his eyes held a myriad of tenderness. “Do you like it?”

“I love it… I love it very much.” Lu Xingye couldn’t help but laugh. “Happy Honeymoon, Chief.”

“Happy Honeymoon.” Lyss gave a light smile and reached out to touch Lu Xingye’s handsome face. “My little puppy.”

Eventually, the divine being learned to love a mortal, thus becoming attached to the earthly realm. 

With stars hanging upside down outside and the sky shining brightly, at this moment, they only saw each other. Just as the future was bright and the world vast, they would accompany each other, forever.
