Chapter 1351: The Market Needs You to Save It

~14 min read 2,665 words

"Mom, you woke up so early today."

Luo Ning's voice came, carrying a hint of laziness.

"It will probably be this early from now on." Luo Quan blinked, discovering that the fatigue that had been tormenting her for several months had completely disappeared. Her mental state had returned to before she was pregnant, and the feeling of having endless energy filling her whole body seemed to have returned.

"By the way, waking up so early won't affect you, right?" Luo Quan suddenly became worried.

Luo Ning was currently in the developmental stage, and sleep and food were the most important things; they absolutely couldn't be sloppy.

"It doesn't matter, Mom. When I need to rest, it doesn't affect whether you are asleep or not."

Luo Ning's words made Luo Quan breathe a sigh of relief: "That's good. By the way, you must be hungry now, Mom will make you some milk powder."

Saying this, Luo Quan got up and used a large baby bottle to mix a full bottle of milk powder.

It was all black-tech milk powder imported from the Universe, said to contain hundreds of trace elements, very nutritious.

Luo Quan used her not-so-good chemistry knowledge to sort it out. Hundreds of elements? Wouldn't that go directly to the heavy metal row?

Can you still live after eating this stuff?

Luo Quan couldn't evaluate it; the only explanation was that the Universe's periodic table was different from Earth's.

After mixing a bottle of at least 3L of milk powder, Luo Quan didn't care about the scorching water temperature and drank it directly into her stomach.

With her current muscle and bone strength, drinking magma might be an exaggeration, but boiling water around 100 degrees, drinking no matter how much, had no relationship at all.

Cooling it down before was entirely to take care of Ningning. Later, her daughter said she couldn't feel the temperature from the outside world, so Luo Quan omitted the cooling process.

After finishing the breakfast milk for Ningning, Luo Quan supported her lower back with her hand and walked downstairs swaying.

The living room was pitch black, and there was no one there.

Luo Quan then remembered that it was just six o'clock. According to the habits of the people in the house, several of them were probably just falling asleep.

Gao Liang might still be awake, but either he was staying up late to watch the ball game, or he had already finished sleeping and was coming to the kitchen to forage with hazy sleepy eyes.

Sure enough, just as Luo Quan arrived in the living room, she saw a figure swaying downstairs.

"Hmm, Sis?" Gao Liang revealed a quite surprised look. This was the first time he had seen his old sister wake up so early in a while.

Ever since she got pregnant, his old sister's sleep quality had been getting better and better.

She used to get up early to make breakfast for everyone, but now she basically didn't wake up until noon, and sometimes even slept until the afternoon. Why did she suddenly change her nature today?

"Old Sis, you wouldn't have been up all night, would you?" Gao Liang saw his old sister appearing in the kitchen so abnormally, so he asked with concern in his tone.

When a woman is pregnant, it is indeed possible to encounter all kinds of annoying things; insomnia and anxiety are relatively common symptoms.

Mia also had such a period when she was pregnant with Arthur.

As someone who had been through it, Gao Liang felt that if his old sister needed it, he would be very happy to counsel her.

"If I were up all night, would I be a fairy?"

Who would have thought that Luo Quan, hearing Gao Liang's concerned words, would directly glare and retort: "Waking up early naturally means I slept early. I'm going to make breakfast later, what do you want to eat?"

"Char siu bao, salty and sweet, I hope the sweetness can be greater." Gao Liang didn't stand on ceremony and directly put forward his request.

Growing up in the United States, Gao Liang's eating habits were also completely Americanized.

What are American eating habits? Heavy sugar and heavy deep-frying; they love anything high-calorie.

However, eating fried chicken and roast meat early in the morning always felt a bit strange. Hot dogs and hamburgers had both meat and vegetables, but Chinese fast food and American tastes were a bit different, and Gao Liang wasn't particularly used to eating them.

By comparison, the various Chinese-style breakfasts his old sister made were really quite to his taste.

Especially the various meat buns and meat pies; in his view, these were Chinese versions of hamburgers, just not as exaggerated in volume as hamburgers.

He had eaten a lot of fresh meat and sauce meat buns during this time, but he hadn't tasted char siu bao for a while, especially the char siu bao his old sister made, which was one of his favorite breakfasts.

"Char siu bao, do you want porridge? Century egg and lean meat or tomato and lean meat?"

Luo Quan said, opening the refrigerator, and began to pick out the various ingredients she would use for breakfast.

"Tomato and lean meat, I can't stand the taste of century egg."

As soon as century egg was mentioned, Gao Liang frowned. He basically liked Chinese food very much. He felt that some strange ones, such as stinky tofu and marinated tofu, were okay.

Only this century egg, eating it in his mouth was really indescribably uncomfortable, just like eating a piece of jelly that had been expired for who knows how long.

He only tasted it twice, and in the end, he never touched this thing again.

"Understood, tomato and lean meat, right? By the way, I remember you like fried food quite a bit. Do you want me to fry a few pieces of bacon for you?"

Luo Quan glanced at the refrigerator and found that there was indeed bacon. No one in the house usually liked to eat this stuff, but Gao Liang liked it quite a bit, so she asked casually.

"Really? Old Sis, you are truly a great philanthropist."

If it weren't for his old sister being pregnant, Gao Liang would really want to give her a warm hug to express his gratitude.

Luo Quan chuckled: "Now I'm a great philanthropist? Didn't you say when live-streaming before that I was as fierce as a tiger at home?"

Gao Liang scratched his head embarrassedly: "That was all for the sake of the show."

Although his old sister was indeed very fierce at home, Gao Liang felt that he didn't have any exaggeration.

But in this situation, only someone with a sick brain would tell the truth.

Sure enough, Gao Liang's insincere answer satisfied Luo Quan. She hummed lightly and took the ingredients into the kitchen to defrost.

There didn't need to be too many categories for breakfast: buns, fried dough sticks, porridge, a bit of brown sugar and white flour steamed buns, the former eaten directly, the latter with condensed milk, all were fairy products in breakfast.

In less than an hour, the fragrance of various foods came from the kitchen.

Gao Liang on the sofa smelled the fragrance, lifted his head, and took a big breath.

Looking at the beautiful figure in the kitchen with a big belly but moving extremely nimbly, such a capable sister, I don't know which bastard will benefit in the future.

Don't look at the fact that in the eyes of the outside world, the baby in his old sister's belly came inexplicably.

Some people chose to believe her statement, thinking that this was the progress of human technology, and she was indeed pregnant by herself.

But there were also a considerable number of people who thought that his old sister already had a boyfriend or even a husband, but just because she didn't want the single person setting to collapse, she came up with such an outrageous reason.

Of course, at least for now, the label of "single" remains on the eldest sister. Even if she is pregnant out of wedlock, as long as she is willing to speak up, the vast majority of people would be willing to step in and take over.

It's already the 21st century; what can this little thing count as?

Picking up a daughter for free, plus having the world's most beautiful super rich woman as a wife, let alone those fans, if his old sister's identity wasn't his sister, Gao Liang would feel tempted.

Of course, this kind of thought could only be thought about silently. Daring to say it out loud would definitely be severely educated by his old sister's "fist of love."

And as a younger brother, he doesn't think those brave "takers" are truly worthy of the eldest sister.

At least among the current candidates, Gao Liang didn't like any of them.

So his old sister continuing to be single like this was probably the best ending.

Anyway, there were so many people in the family, even if Ningning didn't have a father's company, she would definitely be able to grow up cheerfully and healthily.

"The buns are steamed, come and eat while they're hot."

Suddenly, Luo Quan poked her head out of the kitchen and shouted at Gao Liang in the living room.

I don't know if it was because the breakfast Luo Quan cooked herself was too fragrant, but a group of people went downstairs one after another.

Just by taking a few breaths, they all entered the kitchen one after another.

"Haha, I knew it was you, Luo Lun, cooking. It's truly a familiar taste."

Wen Xia said, while impatiently using chopsticks to pick up a fried ham sausage and biting into it directly.

Unlike those perfunctory fried ham sausages, the ham sausage Luo Quan fried was truly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Biting into it, first the lips and teeth and the crispy skin made a "crunch" collision sound, followed by the soft and tender ham meat.

The texture was unique, and the fragrance was even more so. Except for the fact that fried food wasn't very healthy, this ham sausage was simply impeccable!

"I also made tea eggs, and I'll fry two sunny-side-up eggs later. If it's not enough, tell me again."

Luo Quan saw everyone eating happily, and she also revealed a satisfied smile.

Being able to make everyone feel happy with her own labor results was the greatest happiness for Luo Quan.

"Yo, did the sun rise from the west today?"

Luo Ni also walked into the kitchen at this time, seeing her daughter busy, and also joked with a smile.

"Although I'm pregnant, I can't really treat myself as an ancestor. It just so happens that I woke up early today, so I made breakfast for everyone."

"Also, if you have any dishes you want to eat, you can tell me. I've also covered lunch today!"

Luo Quan finally regained her vigorous energy, and now she naturally entered the "responsive" mode.

Once these words were spoken, Wen Xia and the others naturally didn't stand on ceremony and directly listed all the dishes they wanted to eat for Luo Quan.

Thus, after resting for two hours, Luo Quan entered the kitchen again and kept busy until 12:30 noon before finishing.

If it were before, she would have been too tired to lie back on the bed with this workload.

However, the endurance provided by the "Ten Thousand Things Mother Qi" constitution was strong. She had been busy for several hours, and she didn't have a hint of fatigue.

"It is indeed a divine skill; it solved a big problem for me!" Luo Quan couldn't help but let out a sigh.

After finishing lunch, Luo Quan returned to the room and started the long-lost live broadcast.

Previously, she used rest as an excuse to ask for a full three-day vacation from her fans.

Counting it up, the vacation would only end tomorrow.

However, she estimated that the fans couldn't wait anymore. Ending the vacation early to return would allow her to gain favor again, which was beautiful.

Thus, Luo Quan, who had finished lunch, immediately opened the live broadcast.

Sure enough, the private messages had already exploded, all asking when she would be back, using all kinds of affectionate or cheesy tones to tell her how difficult it was to endure the days without her.

Fortunately, the wait was finally over.

"I'm back."

Luo Quan took this as the title of the live broadcast room. The Bilibili employee who was both a fan and responsible for backend management directly gave her a zero-heat search ranking, which was almost equivalent to a full-site broadcast.

Luo Quan saw the barrage talking about this and immediately said: "The consciousness of this little comrade needs to be improved. How can you use public office for private gain? The hot search thing, whoever should be on it should be on it; there's no need to open a back door for me."

The barrage immediately complained:

"Typical of getting the benefit and still acting innocent."

"Taking it out on the working class as soon as you come back, look, this is the face of a capitalist!"

"Add one to the street lamp hanger."

"You're finally back, Luo Bao, I really missed you to death these past few days."

"Damn, don't you have any ambition? Didn't we agree not to say these things?!"

"Exactly, if Luo Bao knew we cared about her so much, wouldn't she become unscrupulous? Quickly take out an indifferent attitude so she won't dare to be so salty in the future."

"I understand the logic, but I really can't bring myself to do it."

"Useless things, all the good plans were wasted!"

Looking at these barrages of "hating iron for not becoming steel," Luo Quan revealed a smile of crying and laughing: "So you came up with such a strategy while I was resting?"

"But it seems your execution wasn't particularly in place. Not to mention these in the barrage, my mailbox is full of messages begging me to come back. You are all very reluctant to let me go."

"Damn, a bunch of traitors, not one with a firm stance."

"It belongs to 'accomplishing nothing and ruining everything.' It seems the first 'Anti-Luo Bao Operation' is going to end in failure."

"Now that you've chosen to compromise, won't Luo Bao be able to take leave as she pleases in the future?"

"Actually, she has always been quite as she pleases, but she always uses a consultative tone to be as she pleases. Her posture is very low, but she can always get her way."

"Seems like it, damn it, this cunning woman!"

"Speaking of which, have you noticed that Luo Bao seems to have become smaller?"

"What became smaller?"

"Below the neck."

"Is there?"

"Didn't see it."

... ===== CHAPTER 1352 =====

To be fair, quite a few viewers in the livestream have sharp eyes; it didn't take long for them to notice the changes in Luo Quan's figure.

But in reality, it was less than half a cup size smaller, and with her wearing thicker clothes, it would be absolutely impossible to tell the difference without looking closely.

This also shows what some "LSPs" (lecherous people) usually focus on.

"Some of you really don't do anything upright," Luo Quan scolded, unable to laugh or cry. "Don't bring up conclusions reached based on feelings like this. When summer comes and you put on T-shirts, you'll all be shouting 'big, big, big' again, with absolutely no integrity."

Barrage:

"Heh."

"Luo Bao still sees things the most clearly."

"It's mainly because she's been with LSPs for so long that she knows what kind of thoughts they have."

"Let's talk about something healthy and positive, like having Luo Bao do a Succubus Queen cosplay or something."
