Lin Xian carefully placed the manuscript he had copied so far into it.

“In a few days, once I’ve finished copying the entire manuscript and checked it over…

The Fifth Dreamland will be ready for the next step in the plan.”

Queenstown.

This was Lin Xian’s next target in his dreamland.

The dozen or so hafnium alloy safes in the town…

Could one of them be his own, or Uncle Wei Shengjin’s?

He was equally curious…

Who exactly was the queen of Queenstown?

He really wanted to meet her.

“One step at a time.”

Lin Xian stretched lazily and looked at the electronic clock on his nightstand:

May 12, 2024, 02:32

Was it Mother’s Day?

He unlocked his phone to search and confirm.

Indeed, it was Mother’s Day.

So, he casually opened WeChat and sent a message to his mother:

“Mom, happy Mother’s Day.”

“I can’t make it back due to work, but you and dad take care of yourselves, go on a trip, and try the delicious foods from around the country.”

After sending the message, he transferred a generous red packet to her.

He intended to put down his phone and go straight to sleep.

However, before the screen even went dark, a ding-dong alerted him to a reply from his mother on WeChat.

Hmm?

Lin Xian was puzzled.

Why was she still awake at this hour?

Or had the ringtone from the message he sent woken her up?

He unlocked his phone again and saw his mother’s reply:

“Thank you, my son!

I’m so happy!

You are the greatest pride of your mother’s life!”

Lin Xian smiled and typed back:

“Why haven’t you gone to bed so late?

You can mute the phone or turn on airplane mode at night so the ringtone doesn’t go off.”

Immediately,

his mother sent a voice message:

“Son, after you left home, your father and I have been worried about not receiving a call from you in the middle of the night, afraid something might happen to you and you wouldn’t be able to reach us…

That’s why every night, we both keep our phones off silent mode.”

“Even though you’re far away and you’re very capable and self-sufficient, a mother still worries when her child is thousands of miles away.

Not only do we keep the phone volume up, but isn’t there a feature for special attention or special ringtones in WeChat?”

“I had the neighbor’s kid help me set it up, to give your messages a very loud ringtone.

This way…

no matter when you need me, or your dad, we can see your message right away.”

“Hehe, it’s okay, it’s okay, you didn’t really wake me up.

Your dad and I don’t have much to do nowadays, and we get plenty of sleep.

Besides, receiving a Mother’s Day blessing from you really makes me happy!”

“As for you, son, it’s so late, why haven’t you gone to sleep yet?

You’re still young, but you need to take care of your body…

I won’t disturb you anymore, hurry up and go to sleep!”

…

After listening to his mother’s 60-second voice message, Lin Xian felt a flood of emotions.

60 seconds.

It was the maximum length for a single voice message on WeChat, but it wasn’t the limit of a mother’s concern for her child.

He couldn’t help but think of Zhou Duanyun.

Although this person was thoroughly wicked, he had to admit, Zhou Duanyun sent his mother a goodnight message every evening without fail.

If merely for that habit, he would have outdone 99% of children in the world.

Each goodnight sent casually by a child, merely a few taps on a phone keyboard, could keep their mother smiling at the phone screen for a long time, happy for several days.

Such is the nature of a mother’s love.

Great and yet can magnify any small kindness from her child.

So…

It turned out it was the ringtone of his message that had woken up his mother.

Because of his job in a different place.

Every night, his parents in Hang City never dared to turn off or silence their phones, and they would even deliberately turn up the volume, afraid to miss any calls or messages from him.

Lin Xian remembered a saying he had seen online—

When you’re out and about, there’s nothing to fear, except for receiving a call from your family in the middle of the night.

“Poor are the hearts of all parents.”

Lin Xian reflected.

Ding-dong.

His phone made another sound.

Lin Xian found that the large red packet he had just sent had been returned by his mother, along with a few messages:

“Your dad and I have money!

We have enough to spend!

We haven’t even touched the money you left us!

As for you, it’s not easy to strive out there on your own, save more money, take good care of yourself!”

“Good night, son…”

“Mom loves you.”

…

Twelve hours later.

MX Company, 22nd floor, Zhao Yingjun’s office.

Zhao Yingjun looked puzzled at the large and small suitcases rolling in…

and at her father, mother, and Yan Qiaoqiao who followed behind the luggage.

“I thought you said you’d only be staying for a few days?

Why bring so much luggage?”

She found the four or five travel suitcases rather excessive, given it was supposed to be just a short stay.

Last night.

Her father had called her about an urgent matter back in the Imperial Capital, and both he and her mother had to make a quick trip to handle it.

They said it would only be for a few days, and they didn’t want to drag Yan Qiaoqiao back and forth, especially since they had just traveled around nearby attractions and they didn’t want to wear her out with long travels.

So they proposed leaving Yan Qiaoqiao with Zhao Yingjun, asking her to take care of her for a few days.

After Zhao Ruihai and Yan Mei returned from the Imperial Capital in a few days, they would pick Yan Qiaoqiao back up.

Zhao Yingjun didn’t think too much about it.

She agreed immediately.

After all, there were plenty of rooms in her house, and Yan Qiaoqiao, being in her teens, could play by herself.

It was very easy to take care of her, and having her stay for a few days was no big deal.

But she hadn’t expected!

Just for a few days’ stay!

Even if they were checking in with a small bag, her home had ample toiletries and clothes, all enough for Yan Qiaoqiao to use.

Would she really be starved or deprived here?
