Chapter 393 How to feel comfortable
The golden glow of the setting sun dyed the sea surface into a shimmering expanse of gold, and the satisfaction after a hearty meal, like warm waves, gently lapped at everyone's heart.
The laughter and chatter on the terrace gradually subsided, replaced by a languid and blissful tranquility.
Xiao Zhi leaned against his mother, his little head nodding slightly. He had clearly played too wildly and eaten too much, and sleepiness was starting to creep in.
Yuan Bao gently embraced his son, looking at the lingering smiles and relaxed expressions on his family's faces, his heart softening.
She knew that today's space journey had left a deep and beautiful mark on everyone.
"Mom, brother, sister-in-law," Yuan Bao said softly, with a smile, "Did you have a good time today?"
"I had a great time! I had a great time!" Yuan Baoguo leaned back in his comfortable rattan chair, gazing at the magnificent sunset over the sea in the distance. His tone was more relaxed than ever before. "This sea fishing, this seafood... and this place... Bao'er, this space of yours is truly a heavenly life."
Lin Qing smiled and nodded, gently massaging Yuan Ma's shoulders. "Yes, it felt like a beautiful dream, yet so real. Xiao Bai's cooking skills are truly exceptional." She glanced at the snow-white figure busy in the kitchen (cleaning up the mess), her eyes filled with affection.
Aunt Yuan patted her daughter-in-law's hand, her face flushed with satisfaction: "Good, all good! Seeing you all happy makes me feel sweeter than if I'd drunk honey. It's just that Xiao Xiaobai has had a hard time."
"It's not hard work, Xiaobai is very happy!" The soft, sweet voice responded immediately, with a hint of joy.
Yuan Bao looked down at his son, who had already started snoring softly in his arms. Even in his sleep, the little guy's lips were slightly upturned, as if he was dreaming of chasing the ginseng doll or that colorful clownfish.
She gently smoothed the stray hairs from Xiaozhi's forehead.
“Xiao Zhi said he wants to come every day,” Yuan Bao said softly, his tone full of affection.
“Kids are always excited about new things.” Yuan’s mother smiled kindly as she looked at her grandson’s adorable sleeping face. “But this place is really nice. It’s quiet, comfortable, and the food and amenities are all good. My darling, this place is truly a blessing for our family.”
Yuan Baoguo pushed up his glasses, regaining some of his technical composure, but his eyes remained gentle: "Bao'er, maintaining this space... does it require you to expend any energy? Will it be a burden?" As the eldest brother, he always subconsciously cared about his younger sister's efforts.
Yuan Bao felt a warmth in her heart and shook her head: "Don't worry, brother. The space relies on my origin. As long as I am stable, it will naturally exist and operate. Bringing everyone in for a visit is like opening a door, consuming very little energy. Moreover," she looked around this world that belonged to her, "seeing you all relax and have fun here is actually nourishing for me."
This is the truth.
The happiness and peace of her family is an indispensable part of her source of strength.
"That's good." Yuan Baoguo was relieved, and then said with great interest, "Next time I come in, can I bring a book? I think the small study on the second floor of the villa has a particularly good location, with plenty of sunlight and a view of the sea. It must be very enjoyable to read there!"
“Of course!” Yuan Bao laughed. “You can read any of the books in the study. If you need more, Xiao 9 can help you ‘download’ them.” She pointed to the ball of light floating beside her.
Little 9 flashed its name at the opportune moment: [Happy to serve.]
Lin Qing's eyes lit up: "Then... can I bring some yarn and crochet hooks in? The sunroom in the backyard is so warm in the afternoon sun, it must be really comfortable to do crafts there!"
“No problem, sister-in-law!” Yuan Bao readily agreed. “This space is like our second home. Everyone can bring in whatever they like. Just do whatever makes you comfortable.”
As Yuan Ma watched her children and daughter-in-law enthusiastically planning their next "project," her smile never faded.
These ordinary, mundane yet vibrant discussions made her feel incredibly grounded.
She knew that her daughter's magical space was not only a refuge, but also a paradise where her family could improve their quality of life and enjoy family time.
The sea breeze gradually carried a hint of coolness. Yuan Bao picked up the sleeping Xiao Zhi: "It's getting dark, we should go 'home' now. Everyone's tired today, let's get some rest."
Everyone nodded.
With a slight thought, the tranquil seaside terrace scene faded away like a faded painting, replaced by the familiar living room lights of my home.
After a slight sense of time and space shift, the family returned safely to their original positions.
Xiao Zhi whimpered sleepily in Yuan Bao's arms, snuggled closer, and continued to sleep peacefully.
Yuan Baoguo and Lin Qing also felt a bit tired after the mental relaxation, but more than that, they felt a sense of satisfaction.
Yuan Ma felt completely comfortable, as if the fatigue in her bones had been washed away by the spiritual energy in the space and the sea breeze.
"Alright, everyone go wash up and go to bed," said Yuan Ma, her voice filled with the loving care of the head of the family. "Tomorrow is another day."
Everyone said goodnight to each other and went back to their rooms.
Yuan Bao gently placed Xiao Zhi on his crib, covered him with a blanket, looked at his son's peaceful sleeping face, and leaned down to place a gentle goodnight kiss on his forehead.
Back in his room, Yuan Bao didn't rest immediately.
She walked to the window, gazing at the city's dazzling yet distant lights, feeling the calm, flowing power of space within her, and the warm bond that connected her closely to her family.
The little ball of light silently appeared on her shoulder: [My lady, today's energy cycle is stable, and the family's emotional index is all in a high and pleasant range. While you were leading everyone into the space, Yuan Ma's game system (No. 19) automatically entered standby power-saving mode, and no abnormal fluctuations were detected.]
"Okay, I understand," Yuan Bao replied softly.
She opened her palm, and a wisp of extremely soft, moonlight-like silver light flowed and danced in her palm, gentle yet powerful.
Everything was perfect today.
The laughter of her family, Xiao Zhi's dependence, her older brother's care, her sister-in-law's gentleness, her mother's satisfaction, and the reliability of her spirit beast companions... all of this made her belief in protecting even stronger.
She knew that the road ahead would not always be smooth sailing; there might still be the shadow of "pollution," and there might still be challenges from Crystal Forest.
But at this moment, with this sanctuary where she can shelter her loved ones, with the unconditional understanding and support of her family, and with these wonderful companions, she is filled with unprecedented confidence and strength.
She is not fighting alone.
Behind her was her warm home.
“Tomorrow…” Yuan Bao’s lips curved into a gentle smile, the light in his palm fading, “Let’s take them to the edge of Crystal Song Forest to see Ariel’s Starlight Flower Sea? Ash will definitely love it.”
With anticipation for tomorrow and fond memories of today's happiness, Yuan Bao drifted off into a sweet dream.
Inside the villa, Little White was doing the final cleaning and tidying in the kitchen, while Little 9's ball of light quietly guarded the peace of this paradise.
The boundaries between reality and space become blurred in slumber, but the warmth that is being protected remains constant and real in the quiet night.
