The Universe’s Number One Healing Baby

“Ningning, focus a little more.”

‘Teacher’ Huo Lin solemnly tapped the blackboard, urging the distracted little Ningning to concentrate.

Upon hearing his brother’s voice, Ningning straightened his back immediately.

On the way, Ningning learned several new characters. He wanted to take his test paper and secretly bury it without showing it to the adults.

But his brother wouldn’t let him.

“It’s Ningning’s test paper!”

Ningning sat on the stool, anxiously tapping the table. “Brother, give it back to Ningning!”

Huo Lin: “?”

Huo Lin looked at him and said, “The incorrect questions on the paper haven’t been analyzed yet. I won’t give it to you for now. If I give it to you, you’ll definitely lose it.”

Ningning: “...”

Feeling poked at, Ningning lowered his head in disappointment.

A test paper with a score of 38, Ningning really wanted to get rid of it.

Just as Huo Lin picked up his cup, intending to correct Ningning’s attitude while drinking water, the spaceship landed.

Auben came over and respectfully reported, “Your Highness, we have arrived.”

Upon reaching their destination, it meant no more classes. Ningning cheered and opened his arms for his brother to carry him. “Brother, Ningning wants to get off the ship!”

Huo Lin walked over and skillfully picked him up.

Auben led the way in front of Huo Lin, mostly remaining silent instead of saying that he would be carrying the child.

Soon.

Everyone on the spaceship disembarked. They had already booked a hotel in advance, and the landing spot was not far from the hotel.

Ningning, being held in his brother’s arms, looked at the Sixth Planet shining brightly like daylight. His big eyes, like black grapes, were filled with astonishment.

“Big brother, there are so many lights.”

The Sixth Planet should be in darkness at this moment, but the numerous lights here make it almost as bright as daytime.

Occasionally, pedestrians passed by on the street, but they didn’t even spare a glance at their group.

Huo Lin didn’t want to draw attention to themselves. He quickly checked into the hotel and settled their belongings inside.

His big brother placed the little child on the bed, shaking his chubby little feet, waiting for his brother to change his clothes.

The temperature on the Sixth Planet was different from the White Mist Star. It remained mild throughout the year, without much fluctuation.

The clothes the little child was wearing were perfect for the White Mist Star, but they felt a bit too warm here.

Huo Lin found some clothes for him and walked over, helping him change: “Just put on something casual. We arrived too late; we should get some sleep first.”

“I don’t want to sleep!”

The little child patted his tummy and lowered his head: “Ningning hasn’t had dinner yet!”

He wanted to eat until his tummy was full before going to sleep.

Huo Lin also changed his clothes. He asked, “Ningning, do you want to eat the hotel’s food or go out to the street for a meal?”

“Outside, outside!”

Without hesitation, the little child chose to go outside. He was so eager that he didn’t even let his big brother carry him. Instead, he grabbed his brother’s hand and led him outside, saying, “Big brother, let’s go, let’s go quickly.”

In fact, the little child really enjoyed eating outside, but his father said that food bought outside was not as healthy as the food eaten at home, so he wasn’t allowed to eat out.

Now that he had the chance to eat out, the little child certainly didn’t want to miss it.

He tugged at his brother and pulled with all his might towards the entrance.

Huo Lin had already looked at the map in advance and knew about the surroundings. There was a snack street not far from the hotel.

On the snack street, you could find the specialty foods of this place. Although Huo Lin had never tried them, they looked good based on the descriptions.

They went to the snack street to eat, and naturally, the guards had to follow along.

Huo Lin wasn’t foolish enough to refuse the guards’ company. He simply instructed them, “Disguise yourselves a bit. Don’t stay too close to us, nor be too far away.”

“Yes.”

It would be too conspicuous to go out with a whole team of guards. After giving his instructions, Huo Lin let the little child lead him outside.

Perhaps due to the bright lighting, this night market snack street lacked the same atmosphere as the one on White Mist Star.

Fortunately, the little foodie didn’t care about the ambiance. He pointed at the stalls with his small finger and ordered one after another, saying, “This one, this one, and this one! I want them all!”

Huo Lin knew about his appetite, so he bought a small portion of everything, trying to offer him a variety of flavors.

The clever little child would raise the food he didn’t particularly like and feed it to his older brother.

The two of them walked the entire snack street, and their hands were never empty.

“Ningning, is it delicious?”

Huo Lin asked the little child with his head lowered. Since the little child’s hands were full of food, Huo Lin didn’t hold his hand.

The little child, who was eating meatballs, thought for a moment and honestly replied, “Not as good as the ones on White Mist Star.”

The food vendors here made everything using machines, and there was minimal handmade effort. They also had a cold attitude when selling food.

Earlier, the little child wanted to have sweet soup and asked the auntie at the stall to add two more spoons of sugar. In response, the auntie gave him a cold glance and, in a tone devoid of emotion, said, “You shouldn’t consume excessive sugar, or else you’ll become overweight.”

Ningning was sensitive to the words “overweight.” Upon hearing that, he immediately fell silent and timidly looked at the somewhat stern auntie, replying, “Ningning won’t add sugar anymore.”

In the end, only a bit of sugar was added to the sweet soup, and the little child only took a few sips.

“Big brother, Ningning wants to eat the grilled sausages from White Mist Star.”

“Make them extra spicy!”

The child wasn’t a picky eater. Even the meals made by his dad, the child could finish them without any problem. But he still ate his meatballs while thinking about the grilled sausages from the White Mist Star.

Although the shops here were clean and hygienic, Ningning felt that the street food in the White Mist Star tasted better.

“I’ll take you there when we go back.”

Huo Lin walked by his side, protecting him as they moved forward.

The conversation between the two was not loud, but Huo Lin couldn’t help but feel that the vendors on both sides of the road looked at him with unfriendly eyes, as if they had heard their conversation.

“Ningning, are you full?”

Huo Lin bent down and touched the child’s belly. When he felt that it was round and full, he coaxed him, saying, “Let’s go back to the hotel and sleep. You ate too much today.”

The child nodded. When he’s full and satisfied, the child was always easy to deal with.

The duo, one big and one small, left the street food market. The people who were originally selling there looked at their backs and snorted coldly.

Could White Mist Star’s street food compare to their Sixth Planet?

The street food on their Sixth Planet was the cleanest and used the best ingredients in the entire interstellar realm!

That chubby little child must not be a native of their Sixth Planet. The people on their Sixth Planet strictly controled their diet and exercise, and their figures were healthy and slim, in line with the current interstellar aesthetics.

The little child walking with his big brother was unaware of being complained about by the vendors. After walking for a while, he didn’t feel like walking anymore.

“Big brother, carry Ningning!”

“No, you ate a lot. You need to walk more to digest.”

Huo Lin didn’t indulge the child excessively. He took the uneaten food from the child’s hand and took a few bites himself, then continued to walk while keeping an eye on the child.

Ningning had exercised in kindergarten before, but every time he ran, he felt tired. He was a lazy little child. Besides wanting to play, he didn’t want to move at all during other times.

“Big brother.”

The child didn’t give up, reaching out to grab his big brother’s finger. With his face still smeared with mashed potatoes, he looked up at his big brother with eager eyes and painted a rosy picture for him: “If you carry Ningning now, when Ningning grows up, Ningning will carry you.”

This was the child’s usual way of speaking, promising how things would be when he grew up. The adults in the family had all fallen for this trick.

Huo Lin remained silent for a few seconds, but eventually fell for it too.

He took out a wet wipe he had with him, wiped the mashed potatoes off the little child’s face, and then bent down to pick him up.

Huo Lin was diligent in exercising. Among his peers in elementary school, he was always the tallest. As for the little chubby child, the food he ate seemed to go straight to his body, and he hadn’t grown much taller.

With Ningning securely held in his big brother’s arms, from a distance, this scene appeared quite harmonious.

Ten minutes later.

Huo Lin carried the little child back to the hotel. There was a large bathtub in the hotel, and there were petals next to it.

Ningning’s eyes lit up when he saw the petals.

“Big brother! Let’s scatter the petals!”

Wearing sandals, the child ran into the bathtub with a patter, pouring all the petals into it, and then asked his big brother to fill it with water.

There was also a bathtub in the palace, but it was too big. Ai Wei was afraid that the child would drown if he sat in it, so she never let him use it and instead used a small bathtub for him.

Taking a bath in a bathtub and scattering petals, Ai Wei rarely did these fancy and impractical behaviors.

Ai Wei never gave Ningning a bath with petals, and Zhan Xi would never do anything so extravagant.

Now, at this hotel, the child could finally enjoy a bath with petals, and he was ecstatic.

Huo Lin saw him throwing the flowers inside and didn’t pick them up.

Soon, the water was ready.

Huo Lin made a call to the hotel front desk and asked them to bring a swimming ring. He hung the swimming ring on the little child and then put the tender young child into the bathtub.

“Soak in it.”

The bathtub was a bit deep, and he was afraid the little child would sink without the swimming ring.

“Brother, Ningning doesn’t want this.”

The little child tugged at the swimming ring he was wearing, a slightly displeased look on his chubby face. “Ningning knows how to swim!”

Huo Lin: “...”

Huo Lin recalled, “When you say ‘know how to swim,’ you mean doing the doggy paddle on the bedsheet?”

Ningning: “!”

The little child instinctively sensed that this was not a good conversation.

He huffed in anger, “Ningning can swim!”

Huo Lin didn’t argue with him but instead put a few small toys on the water surface for him to play with.

“Be good and enjoy your bath. I’ll go change the bedsheet and come back to hold you.”

With the swimming ring on, the little child couldn’t sink, so Huo Lin could confidently go and change all the hotel bedsheets.

As soon as Huo Lin left, the little child in the bathtub began pulling at his swimming ring. He wanted to surprise his brother and show him how great he was at swimming.

After exerting a lot of effort, the young child finally managed to remove the swimming ring. He flapped his chubby hands and feet, trying to swim.

But after a few flaps, he started sinking with a gurgling sound.

The little child, who had swallowed some water, was scared to the core!

Huo Lin, who had just finished changing the bedsheets, also heard the noise. He turned his head and glanced in the direction of the bathroom, and the next moment, his expression changed drastically.

A few minutes later.

Even the curly-haired child was drenched, wrapped in a towel, sitting on the bed with red eyes, subjected to his older brother’s stern words.

“This is an adult bathtub. It’s almost like a small swimming pool. Who told you to take off the swimming ring?”

Despite spoiling the child, Huo Lin couldn’t help but become strict this time. “You never listen to what your brother says, do you?”

The scolded child didn’t dare to make a sound.

After reprimanding the child, Huo Lin’s expression remained cold and his thin lips tightly pursed. He was also regretting not keeping a close eye on the little child.

Such a young child had no sense of danger at all and had no idea how terrifying drowning could be.

Just like before, the little child went out to play without even fearing a fierce stray dog on the roadside. He beckoned with his small hand, calling out to the not-so-friendly stray dog, wanting to pet its fur.

As a result, a few minutes later, the dog came over, and the child got bitten and went back home, crying while holding his buttocks.

Huo Lin thought about the child’s repeated mistakes, oblivious to the seriousness of his actions, and felt like he could continue scolding him for another half an hour.

After a while.

The child, who had been scolded until he felt disheartened, secretly raised his head and looked at his older brother.

His older brother had a stern face and was still angry with the child.

The child didn’t want to make his brother angry, so he held his brother’s hand and whispered softly, “Ningning knows he was wrong. Ningning will write a pledge for brother.”

The child, who frequently made small mistakes but not major ones, was often punished by his father to write pledges. His pledges were quite diverse, such as promising not to pick wild vegetables by the roadside and put them in his mouth, ensuring not to rummage through trash cans to pick up junk, and vowing not to sneak out in the middle of the night to steal candy...

Writing pledges was an easy task for the child.

For characters he couldn’t write, he would use pinyin or circles instead.

Under the child’s pleading, Huo Lin gradually regained his composure. He stared at the child and the other wrote another pledge, finally allowing the child to go to sleep.

“Sigh.”

The little child nestled in the blanket rubbed their chubby face and muttered, “It’s so hard for Ningning.”

The little child who found everything difficult had no trouble falling asleep. Before long, he began to snore sweetly.

That night passed relatively peacefully.

The next morning.

When the little child opened his eyes, he saw his older brother next to him and stared at the other for a moment.

In the morning, he would either be grumpy or still half-asleep. But now, it was obvious he was still in a daze.

“Dad.”

“Dad is at home.”

Since they didn’t have to go to school that day, Huo Lin indulged the little child in sleeping in. Huo Lin sat by the head of the bed, already reading a book for two hours.

Seeing the little child wake up, Huo Lin picked him up, helped him wash up, brush his teeth, get dressed, and put on their shoes, preparing to take him to the Mecha Street.

“Brother, Ningning wants breakfast.”

“We’ll go to Mecha Street to eat.” Huo Lin carried the little child and went out, hailing a taxi.

Although he had plenty of money, he didn’t feel like buying a car just for these few days of travel.

With advanced technology, transportation was naturally well developed. Flying cars could be seen everywhere, and they looked even cooler than the flying cars on the White Mist Star.

The little child pointed his chubby hand, and the two of them boarded a flying car for transportation.

The street itself wasn’t actually named Mecha Street so blatantly, but because it sold a lot of mechas, the name caught on over time.

The little child had never been to a big city in his life except White Mist Star, so when he arrived at Mecha Street, he was like a naïve country bumpkin entering the city.

“Wow! So cool!”

“Brother, that robot can talk!”

“Wow, Uncle’s hand is so cool!”

The little child looked at the shops on Mecha Street and the shop owner working on the mecha, exclaiming in awe again and again.

Due to highly advanced technology, the people here heavily rely on their smart companions, which could be described as their everyday life necessities.

There were smart doors, smart floor sweepers, and even a smart housekeeper robot that managed the entire family’s smart devices.

Not only were there many smart products in their daily lives, but the people here also integrated smart technology into themselves.

Among them, the advanced faction advocates implanting smart chips into their bodies to enhance their intelligence, learning abilities, scientific research, and so on. However, where there were advanced factions, there were naturally conservative factions. The conservatives believe that the act of implanting chips brought more harm than benefit and was not feasible.

The King of the Sixth Planet belonged to the conservative faction.

Huo Lin held his little brother’s hand, and there was no excited expression on his stern face. He had been here before, so coming here again didn’t bring much novelty.

The shops on both sides of the street sell pre-made mechas as well as custom-made ones.

Huo Lin was quite experienced, always moving forward. After wandering around for a while, he arrived at a slightly secluded alley.

The little child, who was initially excited, now hugged his brother’s neck, feeling less excited.

“Brother, Ningning is hungry.”

Brother had promised that they would buy food for the child when they came to Mecha Street, but after strolling around for so long, they hadn’t come across a single food stall.

Huo Lin furrowed his brow slightly. He remembered that there used to be food stalls by the roadside.

Why couldn’t he find any this time?

The little child touched his growling stomach. He had a big appetite and usually got hungry quickly. It was already past noon, and he hadn’t eaten anything. The little one was feeling very down.

Huo Lin had no choice but to find a way to continue searching for food.

After searching for a while longer, the child suddenly sniffed and, in the next second, struggled in his brother’s arms, signaling for his brother to put him down.

Huo Lin was a bit puzzled, but still let him down. The little child, once released, ran determinedly in one direction.

Huo Lin didn’t expect that as soon as he landed, the little child started running with his short legs, full of energy. Just a moment ago, the little child was saying that he was so hungry he didn’t even want to breathe.

Afraid of losing him, Huo Lin followed a few steps behind.

After running for a while, the little child suddenly slammed on the brakes, but he was running too fast and bumped his head into the leg of the man in front of him.

The man who was bumped into by the little child had his left hand holding a simple-looking but delicious-smelling meat pie.

After stopping from the collision, the little child rubbed his head. He didn’t say it hurt, just raised his head and looked at the man in front of him.

The man had a very handsome face. He held a meat pie that looked delicious, and the packaging was still unopened.

The chubby-faced little child looked up and eagerly asked, “Uncle, where did you buy your meat pie?”

The man raised an eyebrow and said, “The place that sells pies is far away. I don’t have time to take you there.”

“Uncle.”

Huo Lin, who had caught up, stood behind the little child and politely asked, “Can you sell your pie to me? I’ll pay you double the price.”

The man paused for a moment and looked at Huo Lin. There seemed to be a hint of a hidden meaning in his eyes, but then he extended ten fingers and said, “Ten times.”

Huo Lin fell silent for a few seconds. Selling a meat pie for ten times its price, this adult in front of him was truly trying to deceive even a young child.

But the way the little child looked at the meat pie was so pitiful. Huo Lin reached into his pocket and gave him 200 star coins.

The man took the star coins, readily handed over the meat pie to the child, who was eagerly staring at it, and casually pinched the little child’s cheek while doing so. “Tsk, this little chubby child sure knows how to spend money.”

A meat pie that cost 200 star coins, and the big brother was willing to indulge the little child without hesitation.

After pinching his chubby cheeks, the man turned and walked away.

Huo Lin looks at the man’s figure, furrowing his brows.

“Brother, the meat pie is so delicious!”

The little child who successfully got to eat the meat pie was so satisfied that even the little tuft of hair on top of his head wanted to stand up.

Huo Lin touched his hair and, seeing how content he was with his meal, decided that it’s fine even if he was taken advantage of.

He could just avoid that person if he ever saw him again in the future.

“Brother, have a bite!”

“You eat it, I’m not hungry.”
