Lu Ming held the four-dimensional pocket in his hand as he teleported out of the Manufacturing Space.
He looked at the closed window, walked slowly toward it, pulled open the curtains, and pushed the window open. The morning sun was slowly rising at the edge of his vision.
Lu Ming took a deep breath of the morning air. A dense mist floated in the wind, and he could smell the faint fragrance of flowers from the yard along with the fresh scent of earth.
Just as he stepped out of his room, he heard movement coming from the living room. Lu Ming walked slowly to the dining table in the living room and saw his parents and his nominal daughter.
No, she was his younger sister now.
Lin Wan looked at her son, who had woken up particularly early today. "Oh, Little Lu Ming, you're up early today! You've even caught up with your parents' breakfast time," Lin Wan teased.
Lu Yue snapped out of her focused eating. "Papa, you're awake! I have delicious fried dough sticks and soup dumplings here. Do you want some?"
Hearing Lu Yue blurt out "Papa," Lin Wan felt a bit of a headache. "Xiao Yue! You can't call him Papa anymore. Just call him Big Brother from now on."
Hearing this, Lu Ming was somewhat speechless. "Mom! Lu Yue has the basic common sense for living in this world. How could she not understand? She just doesn't want to change it.
When we're outside, she won't call me that. Don't worry."
Lu Ye rubbed his head awkwardly. Last night, he and his wife had spent the whole night teaching Lu Yue basic common sense.
Lu Ye and Lin Wan stared straight at Lu Yue.
"Lu Yue, why didn't you tell us you already knew basic common sense!"
Lu Yue tilted her head. "I thought you knew! And Papa introduced it to you in detail last night."
After the two of them exchanged a look, they thought about it seriously. "It seems he did say something, but we were so shocked by the manufacturing method Lu Ming mentioned at the time that we didn't listen carefully," Lin Wan said.
Time passed quickly, and breakfast was finished in no time.
After breakfast, Lu Ming placed the four-dimensional pocket on Lu Yue's small belly.
His parents watched in confusion as Lu Ming attached a light blue pocket to Lu Yue's stomach.
The two of them stared blankly at the pocket, not knowing what it was for.
Lu Ming looked at the dazed pair. "This is a four-dimensional pocket. It contains some of my gadgets. The functions and usage have already been transmitted to Lu Yue.
If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask her!" With that, Lu Ming took his schoolbag and went to school.
A bored Lu Ming spent most of the day at school until it was finally over. Just as he reached the school gate, someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind. It was Gian.
Lu Ming turned around and saw Gian and Suneo. "Is something the matter?" Lu Ming asked curiously.
"We're going to the Back Mountain to play. Do you want to come?"
Lu Ming thought for a moment and agreed! Then he followed Gian and Suneo to find Nobita and Shizuka.
The group headed toward the Back Mountain in high spirits. Lu Ming looked at the lush green mountain in the distance with a face full of anticipation; after all, he had never been to the Back Mountain to play before!
As they walked, they saw a straight stick by the roadside. Gian was the first to pick it up, walking at the front and swinging it at the newly sprouted weeds.
The stick in Gian's hand was like a sharp sword, cutting the grass in half with a gentle swing.
Nobita looked at the wooden stick in Gian's hand with envy. "Gian, can I have a turn with it too?"
Suneo also looked at Gian expectantly!
Gian's gaze swept over the two of them before finally landing on Lu Ming. He brandished the stick in front of Lu Ming. "Lu Ming, do you want to play with the sword in my hand?"
Lu Ming hesitated for a moment but still nodded. "Are you going to let me play with it?"
"No, I just wanted to see if you all wanted to play." Hearing this, Lu Ming looked at Gian with a speechless expression.
Shizuka, standing beside them, smiled at the sight.
Just then, a brown figure ran past Lu Ming and the others. Seeing it, Gian excitedly chased after it with his stick.
Nobita and Suneo followed behind Gian, and seeing this, Lu Ming and Shizuka followed as well.
Following behind, Lu Ming and Shizuka saw the bushes not far away moving.
Lu Ming and Shizuka slowly approached and parted the bushes to see a round Raccoon Dog.
"Wow, that little guy is so cute! Lu Ming, do you know what it is?" Shizuka looked at Lu Ming.
"I think it's a Raccoon Dog! I didn't expect there to be one on the Back Mountain," he said, looking at the creature.
After chasing for a while, Gian found that the brown figure in front of him had disappeared.
"That guy ran too fast! It made This Great Master chase for so long without any reward. Don't let me see it again," Gian said, panting heavily.
By then, Nobita and Suneo had also caught up, looking at Gian who was leaning on his knees.
Nobita was also gasping for air. "What... what was that just now? Did you catch it?" Nobita asked Gian.
Panting, Suneo looked at Gian. "Why were we chasing it, Gian?"
Having caught his breath, Gian said gruffly, "I just thought it would be fun at first, but now it's made me this tired. I have to vent my anger."
Gian and the others headed back the way they came and happened to see Lu Ming and Shizuka crouching by the bushes.
Gian quietly walked up behind Lu Ming and Shizuka and suddenly asked curiously, "What are you guys doing?"
As soon as he spoke, Lu Ming and Shizuka were startled. The two turned around to see Gian and the other two behind him.
Suneo, walking up, looked at the brown figure not far away. He hurriedly tapped Gian's shoulder. "Look, isn't that the same figure from before?"
Gian turned to look. "Whose dog is that? It looks so strange!"
"That's a Raccoon Dog, not a dog! Gian, look, it looks just like the figure we were chasing," Suneo said.
Gian looked closely; the size was about right, and the color was identical.
Gian handed the stick to Suneo and gave a cold smile. "Good! I've decided to catch that Raccoon Dog."
Seeing Gian about to catch the Raccoon Dog, Shizuka hurriedly blocked his path. "Gian! Let's not catch the Raccoon Dog."
Seeing this, Gian looked at the people behind him and then at Shizuka, who was stopping him.
He sighed. "Fine, in that case, This Great Master will let it go!" And so, the matter ended.
The group played on the Back Mountain for a while before heading home.
After Lu Ming returned home, he entered the Manufacturing Space again, preparing to create a Conceptual Gadget.
After returning home, Nobita thought of that cute Raccoon Dog on the Back Mountain.
Nobita went to the kitchen, rummaged around, and found some food, planning to go to the Back Mountain to feed the Raccoon Dog from earlier.
Nobita hurriedly ran out with the food.
At that moment, Doraemon was on the roof chatting with a Little White Cat. From the rooftop, Doraemon saw Nobita acting suspiciously while carrying something, and he was filled with confusion.
After saying goodbye to the Little White Cat, Doraemon followed him.
