Chapter 1898

After Li Hao stepped out of the doorway, he was just about to knock and go in.

With a "Bang," the door was shut.

Li Hao froze, standing in place and smiling foolishly. He felt that this warm and happy life was getting closer and closer.

He returned to the living room and saw Li Xiaohao sitting on the sofa watching cartoons. Li Hao sat down beside him, then embraced Li Xiaohao and gently patted his shoulder.

"Xiaohao, you are five years old this year. I want to give you a middle school name," Li Hao asked.

"I heard Mom say it long ago. I want to be called Li Hao," Li Xiaohao said.

"Why?"

"Because I hope Brother Hao can bless me to live a hundred years."

"Then fine, let's use that name. Rest assured, Brother Hao will definitely protect you for a lifetime," Li Hao said firmly.

"Mm." Li Xiaohao nodded hard.

"Xiaohao, we are going to leave Earth. Are you willing to go live in the New Century?" Li Hao asked. "Really? That's awesome!" Li Xiaohao said excitedly.

"But, it might take us a long time to come back," Li Hao said.

"How long?" Li Xiaohao asked.

"Maybe more than ten years," Li Hao said.

"Ah, that long!" Li Xiaohao said in surprise.

"But we can communicate often," Li Hao said.

"Then okay, I'm willing to go," Li Xiaohao nodded.

Shortly after, Li Hao, Li Xiaohao, and Li Mengqi boarded the spaceship heading to the New Century together.

On the spaceship, Li Hao always accompanied Li Xiaohao to play, while Li Mengqi was always taking care of them nearby.

The spaceship arrived at the New Century; everything here was so strange and magical.

Li Hao brought Li Xiaohao and Li Mengqi to a beautiful city. There were buildings towering into the clouds, all kinds of transportation tools, green lawns, and bright flowers.

"Wow, it's so beautiful here!" Li Xiaohao exclaimed.

"Yes, this is our new home," Li Hao said.

"Then let's go in and take a look quickly," Li Xiaohao said, pulling Li Hao's hand.

They arrived in front of a luxurious villa; a robot was guarding the entrance.

"Welcome home, Mr.," the robot said.

"Thank you," Li Hao replied.

They entered the villa; inside were all kinds of high-tech equipment.

"Wow, it's so advanced here!" Li Xiaohao exclaimed.

"Yes, everything here is intelligent," Li Hao said.

They arrived in the living room, where there was a huge screen and a comfortable sofa.

"Xiaohao, come look at this quickly," Li Hao called out.

They sat together on the sofa, then Li Hao pressed a button on the screen. A beautiful forest appeared on the screen; birds were singing happily, and a small stream was flowing murmuringly.

"This is one of the most beautiful places on our planet," Li Hao said.

"It's really beautiful!" Li Xiaohao exclaimed.

"When you grow up, I can take you there to play," Li Hao said.

"Great!" Li Xiaohao said happily.

They played until evening; Li Hao and Li Mengqi cooked dinner together.

"Xiaohao, you need to eat more," Li Mengqi said, picking up a chopstick of food for Li Xiaohao.

"Mm, Mom's cooking is the best," Li Xiaohao said happily.

After finishing the meal, Li Hao took Li Xiaohao to sleep. They lay on a large bed, chatting.

"Brother Hao, I like the new home," Li Xiaohao said.

"As long as you like it," Li Hao said, "Tomorrow we still have to go to school to register; you must perform well."

"Okay, I will," Li Xiaohao said.

The next morning, Li Hao took Li Xiaohao and Li Mengqi to school. There were all kinds of high-tech equipment here, making Li Xiaohao feel very novel.

They arrived in the classroom; a beautiful teacher was waiting for them there.

"Welcome to our school, Xiaohao," the teacher said kindly.

"Thank you, teacher," Li Xiaohao said.

The teacher began introducing the school rules and course schedule to Li Xiaohao. Li Hao and Li Mengqi were always accompanying Li Xiaohao nearby, giving him encouragement and support.

One day, Li Xiaohao met a little child named Zhang Ming at school. Zhang Ming was his desk mate and also a very lively and cute child.

"Xiaohao, why didn't you come to class today?" Zhang Ming asked curiously.

"I was sick; Mom asked me to rest at home," Li Xiaohao said.

"Sick? Are you feeling better now?" Zhang Ming asked with concern.

"Mm, I'm much better, thank you," Li Xiaohao said.

"Where did you go to play yesterday?" Zhang Ming asked.

"I went to a great amusement park with Mom and Dad!" Li Xiaohao said excitedly, "There were all kinds of amusement facilities there, plus all kinds of delicious food and performances; it was really so much fun!"

"Sounds awesome!" Zhang Ming said with envy on his face.

"You can come find me to play too; I welcome you to my home as a guest anytime," Li Xiaohao said enthusiastically.

"Really? That's great!" Zhang Ming said happily.

From then on, Li Xiaohao and Zhang Ming became best friends. They went to school together, played together, and shared each other's joys and worries.

One day, Li Hao received an urgent notice: he needed to go to Earth to provide help to the people there. He knew this trip might bring many dangers and challenges, yet he chose to go without hesitation.

"Xiaohao, I will be away for a while. You must listen to Mom and study hard." Li Hao said to Li Xiaohao.

"Brother Hao, be careful," Li Xiaohao said, reluctant to part.

"I will. Rest assured," Li Hao said.

Li Mengqi escorted Li Hao to the spaceship entrance, and the two embraced tightly.

"I will miss you," Li Mengqi said, tears glistening in her eyes.

"I will miss you both too," Li Hao said.

Li Hao boarded the spaceship and vanished into space. After Li Hao left, life became even harder for Li Xiaohao and Li Mengqi. Yet they did not give up; instead, they supported and encouraged each other.

"Mom, I will definitely study hard and wait for you and Brother Hao to return," Li Xiaohao said.

"Good child, Mom believes in you," Li Mengqi said.

Every day, they contacted Li Hao via video call to let him know about their lives. Li Hao also tutored Li Xiaohao through the video, ensuring he would not fall behind other children due to the lack of family care.

During the time Li Hao was away, Li Xiaohao also made many new friends. They often played and studied together, making each other feel warm.

One day, Li Mengqi received an urgent notice: she needed to go to Earth to provide help to the people there. She knew this trip might bring many dangers and challenges, yet she too chose to go without hesitation.

"Xiaohao, I will be away for a while. You must listen to Dad and study hard," Li Mengqi said.

"Mom, be careful," Li Xiaohao said, reluctant to part.

"I will. Rest assured," Li Mengqi said.

Li Mengqi boarded the spaceship and vanished into space.

Li Xiaohao waited alone at home for his parents to return. Every day, he contacted them via video call to let them know about his life. Though he missed his parents greatly, he did not sink into despair; instead, he studied harder to become even more outstanding.

During the time his parents were away, Li Xiaohao also made many new friends. They often played and studied together, making each other feel warm. Though he missed his parents greatly, Li Xiaohao knew they had left for a greater cause. He believed that as long as he studied hard and grew into an outstanding person, he would surely reunite with them. In the days that followed, Li Xiaohao studied hard every day. He received remote education from Li Hao via video call and completed every assignment diligently. At the same time, he began learning various skills, such as cooking and repairing household appliances—skills he considered essential for becoming an outstanding person.

"Xiaohao, you have been performing very well lately. Keep it up!" Li Hao encouraged during the video call.

"Thank you, Brother Hao. I will work hard," Li Xiaohao said.

As time passed, Li Xiaohao's growth and development brought great comfort to Li Hao and Li Mengqi. They knew their departure had not greatly affected Li Xiaohao; instead, it had made him stronger and more independent.

One day, Li Hao and Li Mengqi finally returned from Earth. As soon as they entered their home, they saw a tall, confident teenager standing before them.

"Xiaohao, you have grown up!" Li Hao said, surprised and delighted.

"Yes, I am no longer the little child who needs your care," Li Xiaohao said.

"Our Xiaohao has become an outstanding young man," Li Mengqi said. "We are proud of you."

"Thank you, Mom and Dad," Li Xiaohao said. "I have missed you all along."

The family reunited, sharing each other's growth and experiences. They discussed future plans and goals, looking forward together to a brighter future.
