Chapter 169: Sky Screen Live Streaming System (44)

With a single sentence, they agreed to spend every future Spring Festival together.

In their daily lives, they would work when they had to work and study when they had to study, each busy with their own affairs.

Every winter break, Xie Yang would drive her recreational vehicle, carrying her nephew, niece, and a cat, to Fenglu City to pick up the Wen family elders, then head south to find a warm town for a vacation.

Islands where the four seasons are like summer, cities with the reputation of being "Spring Cities"... any town that was relatively warm in winter was left with the footprints and laughter of the whole family.

Every summer break, Xie Yang also frequently took her nephew and niece out for trips—the first half of the month for domestic study tours, and the second half for travel abroad.

She left a month in between for the children to do homework at home, take afternoon naps, watch cartoons, or go to the Youth Palace to learn useful skills, such as swimming, ball games, martial arts, painting, paper-cutting, pottery... focusing primarily on practicality and a balance of arts and athletics.

The days seemed ordinary and plain, yet they truly opened the door to a new world for the two children, and also opened the eyes of the Daliang People beneath the Sky Screen.

【Are all the people in the Heavenly Palace able to swim? The Princess is still so young, why must she also go into the water to learn?】

【If my child had known how to swim back then, they wouldn't have drowned.】

【Swimming can be learned like this? This pool is actually divided by depth, suitable for children of different heights; the Heavenly Palace truly dotes on children! They even considered such small details; they are indeed practicing the belief that "children are the flowers of the motherland," and must be carefully nurtured and cultivated with heart.】

【The children of the Heavenly Palace are all so carefree, how wonderful!】

【Is this study tour the same as traveling? But the Little Marquis is so young, is his aunt at ease letting him go on a long journey all by himself? Oh, so it's a large group of children of the same age gathering together to eat, live, and travel, with multiple teachers accompanying them for protection and guidance? That is truly not bad!】

【Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles; this saying is truly well-spoken!】

【If our Daliang could also establish such an institution to escort young children on long journeys, allowing them to broaden their horizons and learn knowledge and skills they cannot learn at home during their travels, how wonderful that would be!】

【There will be! In the past, many of our Daliang people could not eat their fill or dress warmly, living in constant fear of being conscripted and dying at the border. Now, not only has everyone achieved having enough to eat, but the soldiers at the border are also regrouping with the support of ample provisions to repel the foreign tribes attacking the city. Given time, everything the Heavenly Palace has, our Daliang will surely possess one by one!】

【The Little Marquis is worthy of being the child of the Chang Gongzhu and the Imperial Son-in-law; he is truly clever! He skipped two grades and is first every single time! He is being fought over by every middle school!】

【The Princess is not bad either; at such a young age, she dared to recite poetry on such a large stage and even won the gold medal.】

【The Little Marquis and the Princess have truly brought honor to our Daliang!】

【That is inseparable from their aunt's support and dedication. To say nothing else, just look at the skills the Little Marquis and the Princess have learned and the places they have been over these years; that cannot be done without enough Silver.】

【That is true; the aunt sits in front of that thing called a computer year after year, day after day, just to earn money. If there were not enough Silver, it would be in vain even if the Little Marquis and the Princess had the heart to excel.】

【The aunt has never married for the sake of the Little Marquis and the Princess; the sacrifice is too great!】

【Sigh...】

Xie Yang did not know that the Daliang people had gone from talking about the Little Marquis and Princess they were so proud of, all the way to her own lifelong marriage, and were still deeply worried about her marriage across time and space, worrying for several years at a time...

She recently discovered that her nephew and niece were a bit abnormal, often staring blankly in a certain direction, and sometimes looking at her with hesitation.

Xie Yang worried they had suffered some grievance at school, so she contacted their homeroom teacher. As it turned out, the teacher sent over their performance at school, and everything was quite normal, which was strange.

Suddenly, she thought of a possibility: "System, could it be that the Live Streaming System bound to them is full of energy and has exited sleep mode?"

Main System: 【Yes, but the binding between it and your nephew and niece is still very firm; it is impossible to use a Prop to forcibly reclaim it.】

Xie Yang pondered and speculated: "Looking at it this way, every time its energy is exhausted, it needs four years to recover."

Xie Ci was brought to the ancient plane by the Sky Screen Live Streaming System after a car accident, and then it went into sleep mode for four years.

After finally filling up its energy and exiting sleep mode, it discovered that the bound Host had detonated Gunpowder to save his two children, forcing it to bring the newly bound Xie Jilin and his sister to the Modern Plane.

After arriving at the Modern Plane, it fell into sleep mode again, and from now, it has been exactly four years.

Xie Yang twitched her mouth: "Why do I feel like this Sub-system is a bit dim-witted? It takes four years to recharge after one jump; with such low efficiency, how does it still have users in your high-dimensional civilization?"

【...】

"Oh, no wonder it needs to be sent back to the factory for repairs."

【...】

A critical hit.

After Xie Yang finished complaining, she began to ponder whether or not to reveal the true situation to the siblings.

After all, it still needs to be bound for six years... unless the Daliang people under the Sky Screen reach the maximum pleasure threshold ahead of time, but she felt that possibility was not high.

But how to bring this up?

However, before she could figure out a feasible plan, the siblings confessed to her first—

Just as the bedtime story finished, Xie Yang was tugged on her pajama sleeve by her little niece:

"Auntie, my brother and I have a secret we want to tell you."

"What secret?"

"My brother and I heard a very strange voice. It always wants to trick us into going out to play; playing in the residential compound isn't enough, it even wants to trick us into going to the big park to play. Jinbao needs to do homework, but it won't be quiet. My brother and I ignore it, but it keeps saying all sorts of messy things! It makes Jinbao so angry!"

"..."

She never expected—

The Sky Screen Live Streaming System, which released a series of daily Tasks after restarting, was actually treated by this pair of study-loving siblings—a gifted student who skipped two grades in four years and a first-grade primary school student who still had a sense of novelty about learning—as "a dirty thing that is always in our ears inciting us to go out and play, neglecting our proper work, and harboring bad intentions"...

It almost made Xie Yang burst out laughing.

If she could see the mimicry of the Sky Screen Live Streaming System at this moment, the other party would probably be in a very speechless state.

Xie Yang held back her laughter and touched her little niece's head: "Does Jinbao think it's bad to go out and play all day long?"

"Of course it's bad!" Xie Jinchu opened her round, dark, bright star-like eyes, "I'm in first grade now! I'm a primary school student who has to wear a red scarf just like my brother! I can't just play whenever I want!"

Xie Yang smiled with relief: "So Auntie believes in Jinbao, you definitely won't be influenced. We must learn to judge what others say."

Perhaps Xie Yang's words comforted her little niece to some extent; after listening, she didn't pester her to continue the story, pulled up her quilt, and closed her eyes: "Goodnight, Auntie."

"Goodnight, Jinbao."

Her little niece was fooled by her just like that.

But her Scholar nephew was not so easy to fool...

Seeing that Xie Jilin neither went to sleep nor did anything else, but just followed her step by step, his face serious and his little mouth tightly pursed, as if he had encountered something more serious than the sky falling down.

Xie Yang sighed and pushed open the door to the study: "Come, let's have a good talk, Aunt and nephew."
