Ding dong, Mr. Yu's arms shot out instantly, fully extended like a protective mother hen.
"Don't move! Everyone, stay still!"
Mr. Yu felt his heart tight, an unprecedented sensation.
He opened his Light Computer and saw a reply from Earth Bar, he held his breath halfway, uncertain whether it was good or bad.
Clicking on the email, a glance at the word count left him slightly disheartened.
Nine words.
What could that possibly say?
Oh well, might as well take a look.
Mr. Yu's eyes moved downward as he read the email.
"I want all, won't leave, thank you."
Those simple nine words conjured a look on Mr. Yu's face, a smile best described as "elder's indulgence."
Not bad, someone who listens to advice.
On the other side, Yu Zeming, noticing Mr. Yu's unusual smile, had already sidled up to his brother Yu Zeling, elbowing him in the ribs.
"Bro, have you ever seen Dad make that face?"
"No."
"Me neither," Yu Zeming pondered. "What if Earth Bar turns out to be some old geezer?"
