After the awards ceremony, Lu Mingming became truly famous on Xingfu Star. Leaving the stadium felt like being a thief, sneaking around and playing hide-and-seek with staff and paparazzi.
A large crowd of media reporters was camped out below the hotel, each with a camera like a cannon, hiding in the bushes for fear of missing a big scoop.
Even a simple trip to a nearby supermarket would be met with stealthy followers, or enthusiastic passersby clamoring for autographs. She could barely spend any time outside, and her return flight ticket was pushed back repeatedly.
She truly felt that too much fame was not a good thing.
The Star Governor, who had intended to personally brief Lu Mingming on the military testing as promised, dared not come after her fame exploded.
Especially with the throngs of people outside the stadium, a combination of the Star Governor's influence and the first-place streamer entering the main planet's competition, it would surely be a chaotic scene!
The Star Governor reluctantly conveyed the message online:
"If you need anything, you can contact my assistant. A personal spacecraft will pick you up. The deadline is one week, consider it your holiday."
Lu Mingming read this message and wanted to cry without tears.
She stood up, pulled aside the curtains, and peeked out. Below, a group of paparazzi eating boxed lunches were chatting animatedly, occasionally looking up at Lu Mingming's room.

Lu Mingming drew the curtains tight and sighed, "I'll wait a bit longer."
Time quietly slipped by. After three days, the popularity effect Lu Mingming brought began to fade significantly. The paparazzi seemed to sense Lu Mingming's resistance; by staying inside, she naturally provided no news.
They couldn't rely on a single streamer for a lifetime. It was better to just disperse.
The main body of paparazzi left one after another, though a few remained stubbornly camped out downstairs.
"Let's go out today, many have left."
Lu Mingming excitedly changed into casual clothes and put on a thick woolen jacket.
The two little ones had also been cooped up in the hotel long enough.
Although Lu Mingming could whip up some fresh dishes in the hotel kitchen to pass the time, they were still bored to death.
Coincidentally, Xingfu Star was holding its Flower Dawn Festival to welcome spring.
The Flower Dawn Festival was held before the planet's spring arrived, using winter's flowers to greet the spring air. Many young couples chose to exchange tokens of affection during the Flower Dawn Festival.

Most importantly, this Flower Dawn Festival was being held in the suburbs, where the chance of encountering fans was extremely low.
After reaching an agreement with the little cubs, Lu Mingming diligently booked tickets online, wearing decorative glasses and a wool hat.
The cubs, one wearing a shark plush hat and the other a dinosaur plush hat, kept their round heads firmly hidden, making it difficult for passersby to identify them.
"Shh—let's go out the back door quietly."
After obtaining permission from the hotel staff, she and the two cubs tiptoed outside.
The fresh air seemed to carry the fragrance of distant flowers, refreshing Lu Mingming and comforting her breath.
"It's been so long since I've been out, I was going crazy."
The cubs sat to the side in agreement, waiting. One tiger and one dog, exuding considerable presence.
"Meow—meow—"
A faint meow came from afar, carrying a hint of desperation.

Lu Mingming instinctively hunched over to look—a scruffy little kitten was hopping towards her.
The little one wobbled as if it had just learned to walk, finally stumbling onto Lu Mingming's shoes, struggling with its thumb-sized paws to push itself up.
The little white tiger's expression darkened. Somehow, it felt like something annoying was about to appear.
This time, it was a real kitten.
Lu Mingming observed for a long time, confirming that the kitten was only slightly larger than Tangyuan's face, with a thin face.
The little kitten was not afraid of strangers at all, darting between Lu Mingming's legs and feet, rubbing away the scent left by her two cubs.
After doing this, the little kitten collapsed tiredly on Lu Mingming's shoes, completely unconcerned with its image.
Lu Mingming found it amusing, crouched down, and tentatively reached out to pet the kitten's head. To her surprise, it offered no resistance, willingly rubbing against her palm.
"Be good, if you want to be petted, I'll let you."
Lu Mingming suddenly recalled Hua Hua being like this too.
Hua Hua hadn't contacted her for a long time. After her last competition ended, the Star Governor had mentioned that she was taken back to her sacred land by some bird tribe people, but didn't elaborate.
She supposed Hua Hua had returned to live with her family.
Lu Mingming rummaged through her bag and took out a few small biscuits, offering them to the little one, barely serving as cat food.
"Are you hungry?"
The eggy, milky aroma of the biscuits wafted around the kitten. The little one twitched its nose, smelling the scent, lowered its head, and used Lu Mingming's palm as a cat bowl, lapping up the morsels with its small pink tongue.
After finishing the first bite, it couldn't get enough. Enduring the gaze of the two massive creatures in front of it, it wriggled its body and rubbed against Lu Mingming's leg again.
"This little one is clinging on. Unfortunately, I already have two cubs."
Lu Mingming was amused and helpless.
The little kitten was a Silver Chinchilla, with short, small limbs, about the length of her fingers.
Its fur was evenly distributed, with a white undercoat and large patches of black tips on its face.

Clearly a cat, its personality was like a dog's. Unlike other aloof cats, it was very lively and cheerful, a young cub that had grown up with a happy childhood.
Having reached this conclusion, Lu Mingming became even more convinced that this little cub was not an orphan. She suspiciously felt around the kitten, eventually finding a well-hidden light brain under its belly.
Lu Mingming dismissed the subconscious doubts and breathed a sigh of relief without realizing it:
"So you're just a lost cub. Don't worry, big sister will help you contact your parents."
Seeing that Lu Mingming was no longer questioning it, the little cub's internal turmoil and tension dissipated, and the immense pressure on its body slowly lifted.
It had guessed earlier that if another cub with the so-called "ancestral gene disease" appeared, Lu Mingming would surely become suspicious.
With this in mind, it specifically asked a friend to make a toy light brain for disguise, essentially a display model, with no actual communication function.
It shouldn't be discovered, right?
The "little kitten" didn't realize its facial expression was being observed by the little Samoyed. Xue Gao blinked its innocent big eyes, marveling in its mind, "Who has turned back into their original form to beg for food again?"
Having parents made things easier.

Lu Mingming, following the contact information displayed on the little kitten's light brain, used her own light brain to make the call—if she used the cub's light brain to answer, it would be too strange to hold it near its belly!
Lu Mingming cleared her throat and spoke after the call connected:
"Hello, may I ask if your cub got lost and is at my door? It's a Silver Chinchilla. Can you come pick it up?"
"Ah, my apologies, I'm currently on a business trip."
The other party's voice was deep. He explained that it might be due to his nanny not taking good care of him.
"I'll be back in a while. Could I trouble you to look after it for now?"
The man's tone was very urgent, as if afraid Lu Mingming would refuse, and he added:
"I can offer you satisfactory compensation."
Lu Mingming pondered for a moment before agreeing.
If there was truly a problem, helping out was nothing.

She hung up the star network and added the other party's star network contact information based on the ID.
Wait...?
Looking at the man's information displayed on the search interface, Lu Mingming's face showed a momentary bewilderment, which she quickly and carefully concealed, not letting the three little ones notice.
Quickly weaving words in her mind, she suddenly said, "Since we promised, we must fulfill it. We won't be going out today."
Huh??
The cubs visibly wilted. The little white tiger's face darkened, and it glared at the little kitten.
Unfortunately, Lu Mingming's mind was set. The cubs followed her, one by one, back to the hotel.
The little kitten was overjoyed, as if it had won the world. Forgetting to maintain its disguise, it eagerly hopped along the steps with agile movements.
All the way, Lu Mingming's mind was filled with the man's officially certified information interface—Yi Fu, the agent.
So even the light brain was fake, and an adult could transform into a cub...

Thinking of her own cubs' intelligence and affection over the years, Lu Mingming's mind became increasingly hazy.
Was she thinking too much?
