The Universe’s Number One Healing Baby

The little child only had one meat pie, and although the meat pie seemed substantial, it couldn’t possibly satisfy his appetite compared to his eating capacity.

Huo Lin didn’t disturb him to compete for the meat pie, but the little child, holding the meat pie, insisted on making him take a bite.

“Brother, you’ll be hungry!”

Although the little child could be possessive of food at times, he also had a tender heart for his brother. Feeling the discomfort of an empty stomach, the little child didn’t want his brother to feel the same.

Unable to resist the little child, Huo Lin reluctantly took a small bite.

The little child wanted to feed him again, but this time Huo Lin refused to eat any more.

With their bellies filled by the meat pie, the little child, led by his brother, didn’t feel tired while walking. They returned to the entrance of the alley they were at earlier. The alley seemed old, unlike the nearby streets filled with a technological vibe, giving off a completely different atmosphere.

“Brother, can we buy toys here?”

The little child, eating the meat pie, looked up at his brother. He remembered what his father told him, that they could buy new toys here!

Huo Lin glanced at the alley ahead and replied, “We’re going to buy mecha.”

The little child paused, “But... Ningning already has a rainbow-colored mecha.”

The little child cherished the rainbow-colored mecha that his father personally painted for him. Although the mecha was broken now, the little child still believed that his father could fix it.

In the past, whenever something at home broke, his father would always repair it.

In the little child’s heart, his father was capable of anything.

Thinking about the little child’s previous rainbow-colored mecha, Huo Lin acknowledged its attractiveness, but compared to the customized mechas on the Sixth Planet, the latter was undoubtedly better.

With that in mind, he coaxed the little child. “The new mecha can also be painted in rainbow colors. I’ll take you to meet a grandpa who is really skilled in making mechas. This grandpa has a bit of trouble with his hearing, so Ningning, when you meet him, you can speak a little louder.”

Upon hearing this, the little child exclaimed, “Okay! Ningning will speak loudly!”

Startled by the sweet voice, Huo Lin remained silent.

There was no need to speak loudly at the moment.

At the end of the alley stood Huo Lin’s destination for the day.

As he led the little child along, the young child looked at the layout of the house and found it quite familiar.

“Ningning’s house is like this too!” The child pointed at the door and said to their brother, “Ningning’s house also has a courtyard.”

The front gate was unlocked. Huo Lin knocked a few times, accidentally pushing the door open slightly.

Through the crack in the door, the little child caught a glimpse of the courtyard inside. “Ningning’s courtyard has vegetables growing, Grandfather’s courtyard has displayed mechas. We all have wonderful courtyards!”

The child liked the vegetables and also enjoyed the beautiful mechas that the Grandfather mentioned by his brother displayed in the courtyard.

Huo Lin, at the moment, didn’t have the mood to appreciate the courtyard inside. He stepped back outside, politely continuing to knock on the door.

The little child peeked out, and joining their brother, also began knocking on the door.

Huo Lin’s knocks were polite, while the little child’s knocks were full of vigor. The old door creaked twice, giving a sense of imminent collapse, as if someone were deliberately testing its stability.

Under the little child’s enthusiastic knocking, a dark-skinned teenager emerged from inside. The teenager had a dark complexion, but their eyes shone brightly.

With caution, he looked at the pair standing at the door and asked, “Who are you? What brings you here?”

Huo Lin handed over a document, saying, “I previously commissioned a mecha here and now I want to order another one for this young child.”

The document he presented was the previous transaction record. Every mecha customized by Grandfather Ram would have such a record.

The dark-skinned teenager glanced at the price on the document, then looked up at Huo Lin, his expression changing.

The price on the document was quite high, and there were very few individuals throughout the entire galaxy who could afford such a sum.

He didn’t dare to underestimate these two children, who were younger than him. Politely, he invited them inside.

This place did not accommodate outsiders, but old customers who had placed orders were still allowed in.

“My master is currently receiving another guest. If you’re looking for him, you’ll have to wait a bit longer,” the dark-skinned teenager said, leading them inside and asking them to wait in the living room.

The living room was simple, with only a table and a few chairs.

The chairs were a bit high, and the little child looked at them before opening his arms.

Before Huo Lin could reach out to hold him, the dark-skinned teenager was faster and lifted the little child, whose arms were outstretched, onto the chair.

“You’re really soft,” the dark-skinned teenager chuckled. “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a soft little child like you.”

Actually, all little children were chubby and soft, so there was no saying that Ningning was softer. Glancing at the teenager’s expression, Huo Lin understood what he meant—

When the teenager said “soft,” he meant the same as “chubby.”

People on the Sixth Planet did indeed have good figures. Although Huo Lin hadn’t seen the little children here, he could guess that there probably weren’t any overweight ones here either.

The little child, who was told he was really soft, didn’t understand that the other person was calling him chubby. He happily moved his face closer and said, “You can pinch me!”

The dark-skinned teenager: “...”

The dark-skinned teenager hesitated for a moment.

Seeing this, Huo Lin calmly took out a tissue and wiped away the sauce from the little child’s face.

With the sauce cleaned off, the dark-skinned teenager also extended his hand.

“Your face is even softer, and you have such cute, chubby cheeks. You must have good food at home.”

Although it was a bit difficult for the little child to understand long sentences, he could catch a few words. The social butterfly little child praised his own family’s food, saying, “Uncle Ling Qi’s cooking is so delicious!”

“Big brother’s food is delicious too!”

The little child praised all the delicious food he had eaten, but he never praised his father’s food.

In the end, the child might have realized that he had neglected his father, so he thought carefully and included his father in the praise: “Daddy’s food... is always cooked perfectly!”

The dark-skinned teenager listened to the child’s innocent words and burst out laughing.

When he had come to open the door earlier, he had been a bit cautious with these two children. But now, not only was he no longer guarded, he was thoroughly amused by the young child.

“Cough, wait here for a moment. Let me check if my master has finished talking with the guest.”

“Okay.”

Huo Lin watched as the dark-skinned teenager entered the room. In that instant, when the teenager opened the door, his gaze swept across the room as if he had seen a familiar figure.

That figure... looked just like the man who had tricked him earlier.

Once the teenager went inside and closed the door, a few minutes later, he opened it again, this time with an elderly gentleman following behind him.

The elderly gentleman’s face seemed slightly flushed, as if he had been angered. Leaning on a cane, he walked slowly into the living room.

As soon as Huo Lin saw him, he immediately went forward to greet him.

“Grandfather Ram, hello. Do you remember me? I am Caesar.”

Although Huo Lin had inherited his father’s reserved nature, he had been taught royal etiquette since childhood, so he didn’t show a cold demeanor towards elders, especially when he needed something from them.

Ram looked at the young prince before him, his slightly clouded eyes moving slowly. Finally, he didn’t say anything but shifted his gaze to the little child sitting on a chair, unable to get down.

The little child was also polite and wanted to greet the grandfather upon seeing him.

But the grandfather’s chair was so high, and the child was small and chubby, wobbling his plump legs and unable to get down.

With a meat pie in hand, eating slowly, it was even more difficult for him to come down from the chair.

Upon seeing the gazes of the grandfather and his older brother focused on him, the little child who couldn’t get down from the chair felt a bit embarrassed. Feeling both embarrassed and wronged, he said, “Brother, Ningning can’t get down.”

Being in a high place, the little child was not allowed to jump down on his own, as his father and brother had taught him.

If he didn’t listen, he would be punished with three meals of vegetables without any meat.

Huo Lin had been too focused on welcoming Grandpa Ram and had forgotten about the little child on the chair.

He took two steps forward and lifted the little child down.

Once the little child’s feet touched the ground, without needing a reminder from his brother, he ran over to Grandpa Ram.

He tilted his chubby face upward and greeted Grandpa Ram obediently, “Hello, Grandpa Ram! I’m Ningning, three years old this year. I’m in the preschool kindergarten class, and my class is the Green Grass Class. My dad is-“

If the little child continued with this introduction, he would reveal everything.

Huo Lin cleared his throat in time and interrupted his childish voice.

Ram lowered his head and looked at the little child on the ground, his expression somewhat mysterious.

Under Ram’s gaze, the little child became a bit nervous. He blinked his eyes, trying to ease his nervousness.

Before he could fully relax, Ram reached out and rubbed his face, saying, “You’re clearly a fortunate child at first sight.”

Plump and fair-skinned.

It had been so many years since Ram had seen such a young child.

Huo Lin noticed that Ram had a favorable first impression of the little child, so he immediately seized the opportunity and said, “Grandpa Ram, the reason I came this time is to ask you to customize a set of mecha for Ningning. He’s already taking mecha class, but without a suitable mecha, his progress in the class isn’t great.”

Upon hearing this, Ram raised his eyebrows and asked, “In your Empire’s kindergarten, they already start teaching such young children mecha classes?”

Huo Lin nodded.

Ram furrowed his brows. “I thought the reason you came last time to customize the mecha was because you’re the prince of the Empire and needed early training.”

Never did he expect that even kindergarten students in the Empire would start offering mecha classes.

Indeed, the people of the Empire were a bunch of war maniacs.

Although Ram had reservations about the educational philosophy of the Empire, he still looked at the chubby child in front of him and reluctantly responded, “Alright, I’ll take this order.”

He was just a mecha engineer from the Sixth Planet and couldn’t intervene in the Empire’s educational system.

Since this little child insisted on taking mecha classes, Ram decided to make a sturdy mecha for him.

“You’re in a hurry, so I’ll make yours first.”

As Ram spoke, he glanced at the dark-skinned teenager.

The teenager understood and immediately went to prepare the materials his master would need.

Before customizing the mecha, testing various data was essential, from mental power to physical abilities. These measurements couldn’t be skipped.

Ram got busy and neglected the previous customer, who had been ignored for quite some time. Seeing that Ram had no intention of coming back, the customer eventually walked out.

Huo Lin saw the person coming out and thought to himself, ‘As expected.’

This man was the one who took advantage even of them earlier.

Instead of calling for Ram, he leaned against the wooden frame, watching the child in the middle of the living room getting his measurements taken.

They tested his mental power three times, and all came out as 0.

As for weight measurements, it was quite impressive, noticeably higher than the average weight of children from their Sixth Planet.

As the man kept watching, a hint of laughter flickered in his eyes.

Huo Lin was absolutely certain that this laughter was not a benevolent one.

The little child noticed that someone was laughing at him, so he turned his head and looked at the man who had just sold him the meat pie.

“Grandpa Ram, someone is laughing at me!” the child tugged on Grandpa Ram’s sleeve and complained to him.

Since Grandpa Ram’s hearing wasn’t very good, the child’s complaint was a bit loud.

The man leaning against the wooden shelf raised an eyebrow upon hearing the complaint.

Although the child was both naïve and chubby, he had quite a strong sense of self-esteem.

The child complained twice before Grandpa Ram understood.

Following the child’s pointed direction, Grandpa Ram saw the man who was being pointed at. Just as he was about to speak, the man suddenly spoke first, saying, “Mind your own business and leave me alone.”

Grandpa Ram responded with an “Oh.”

Seeing that Grandpa Ram didn’t chase the man away, the child’s chubby face became disheartened.
