Chapter 404 The Observer's Glasses 3
Xiao Zhi's naive understanding of "love is energy" was like a pebble thrown into a lake, creating ripples in Yuan Bao's heart and subtly changing the way he perceived the world around him.
Those magical observer glasses were no longer just his "secret weapon" for peering into the flow of microscopic energy, but also became a special window for him to understand the warm energy field of "home".
On the new day's "super observation time," Ash no longer just rushes to the spirit field or the spirit spring.
His gaze began to linger more on those familiar, homey corners of the villa.
Goal 1: An "Energy Dance" in the Kitchen!
He pulled Yuan Bao along, turned on his glasses, and pointed directly at his grandmother who was busy at the stove.
Through the lens, he saw the spatula in Lao Lao's hand flipping the pot. Each stir brought up a golden, fragrant heat wave (a personification of flames and wok hei). The energy flow was like a nimble dancer, enveloping the ingredients in the pot.
When chopping vegetables, the moment the blade falls, the fresh vegetables (especially those produced in the space) emit extremely fresh, pale green light spots that represent vitality. These light spots intertwine with Lao Lao's focused mental focus (a soft, milky-white halo) and blend into the dish.
As Lao Lao hummed an unknown tune and plated a fragrant dish of stir-fried vegetables, Xiao Zhi clearly "saw" that the dish was not only steaming, but also shimmering with a warm, golden-green glow!
"Hey! You put 'Happy Light' in the dish!" Xiao Zhi couldn't help but exclaim, pointing at the plate of food. "The green (vegetable energy), the white (heavy focus), and the golden (wok hei)! They're all mixed together and glowing!"
Grandma Yuan was amused by her grandson. Although she couldn't see him, she could feel his childlike joy: "Really? Then Xiaozhi should eat more of this 'Happy Light' vegetable dish!"
Xiao Zhi nodded vigorously, realizing for the first time that eating was not just about filling one's stomach, but also about "receiving" the "delicious energy" that his elder brother cooked with love and focus!
Objective Two: "Starlight" and "Radio Waves" in the Study!
Then, Xiao Zhi turned his glasses toward the study. His uncle, Yuan Baoguo, was wearing headphones, deep in thought, staring at the complex data charts on the computer screen, his fingers occasionally tapping rapidly on the keyboard.
Aunt Lin Qing was holding a thick paper book, reading quietly, with sunlight streaming through the window onto her.
From the perspective of a novice observer:
Uncle's direction: His brain area seemed to be shrouded in a deep, constantly flashing and changing dark blue nebula (the mental field generated by deep thinking). Countless tiny, silvery-white data streams shot into his eyes from the screen like shooting stars, and then transformed into more condensed silver light threads flowing back to the computer from the action of his fingertips tapping the keyboard.
The entire area was filled with a sense of calm, focus, and high-speed operation, like radio waves.
The scene in the direction of my aunt's house was completely different.
She emanated a serene, moonlit, pale silver aura (the tranquility brought by reading).
As she turned the pages, incredibly fine, pale golden particles of light, imbued with the weight of time and the weight of history, rose from the ancient paper, slowly being absorbed by her. Occasionally, when she looked out the window in thought, the pale silver halo would ripple slightly, as if resonating with the soft light outside.
"Uncle's head is filled with stars and lightning! Auntie has moonlight and the little gold dust from books on her body!" Xiao Zhi lowered his voice and excitedly described this completely different yet harmonious "study room energy field" to Yuan Bao.
Yuan Bao was also engrossed in watching. Although she could sense spiritual power, this concrete and childlike perspective of "energy visualization" was the first time she had "seen" it through her son's eyes.
Goal 3: The "Guardian Light" in Mothers!
Finally, Xiao Zhi turned his gaze to his mother, Yuan Bao, who was standing beside him.
He wanted to see what kind of energy flowed through his mother.
Yuan Bao stood relaxed, looking at him with a smile.
The world behind the glasses made Ash hold his breath instantly.
A soft, warm, pale golden halo, like the morning sun in spring, surrounded Yuan Bao's body.
The halo was not dazzling, but it was exceptionally stable and inclusive, like an invisible, warm cocoon enveloping Yuan Bao.
But what surprised Ash even more was that this warm, pale golden halo was not static.
It seemed to have a life of its own, extending out countless extremely fine, almost transparent golden filaments, like the gentlest tendrils, softly connecting with everyone in the villa!
A bright golden thread of light steadily connected him to his old man, who was looking at him with loving eyes.
Several thinner but equally warm golden threads connect the uncle and aunt, who are immersed in their own worlds in the study.
There was also a particularly lively, slightly jubilant golden thread that was gently wrapped around Ash himself, rising and falling slightly with his breath and heartbeat!
Even more, Xiao Zhi could vaguely see an extremely faint golden halo, like a thin mist, permeating the entire space villa, connecting the little echoes playing in the corner, the little fox dozing on the windowsill, and the ginseng dolls busy in the spirit field...
The entire villa, connected by countless warm light threads extending from Yuan Bao's body, seemed to form a huge, invisible golden light net woven from "love" and "protection"! Everyone in this net was nourished, connected, and protected by that warm energy.
Xiao Zhi stared, speechless, his mouth slightly agape. He had previously felt his mother's love—the warmth of her embrace, the gentleness of her words.
But at this moment, for the first time, he "saw" the form of this love so "directly"—it was the warm light of dawn, the invisible thread connecting family members, and the huge net of light protecting the whole family!
“Mom…” Xiao Zhi murmured, his voice tinged with a barely perceptible sob and immense shock, “You have a net of sunlight on you… connecting all of us… It’s so warm…” He subconsciously reached out his little hand, wanting to touch the lively golden threads of light surrounding him.
Yuan Bao was slightly taken aback.
She could sense the emotional fluctuations in her son's voice; it was a mixture of surprise, emotion, and a deeper understanding.
Although she couldn't see the "protective light net" around her, she could clearly sense the close spiritual connection between her family members in the space, as well as her will to protect this world and every life within it.
Her son's description so accurately depicted the picture in her heart!
She knelt down and gently embraced Xiao Zhi, offering no explanation of complex energy laws or spiritual fields, but simply responding to his pure feelings with the most straightforward language: "Yes, baby. Mommy loves Lao Lao, Uncle and Aunt, and especially Xiao Zhi, and every member of our family, including Echo and the others. This love is like sunshine, wanting to give warmth to everyone, wanting to connect everyone's hearts, and wanting to protect each of us. You 'saw' it, Xiao Zhi, you're so amazing."
Ash buried his face in his mother's warm embrace, feeling the tangible warmth that was transmitted more clearly through physical contact (this spiritual connection became even clearer after the glasses were closed).
His little heart was filled with an unprecedented sense of security and a vague sense of mission—he realized that love really is a visible and tangible (spiritual) energy! He realized that his mother had always been protecting everyone with such warm light!
At this moment, the "observer's glasses" brought not only the wonders of the microscopic world, but also a profound enlightenment on the greatest energy of "love".
Xiao Zhi understood that the energy in the space nourishes the growth of all things, while the love between family members is the more fundamental force that nourishes the soul, connects people, and protects happiness.
The atmosphere at the dinner table that day was exceptionally warm.
Unlike usual, Xiao Zhi didn't rush to share the "energy filaments" or "rainbow butt smoke" he saw. He just quietly ate the dishes his uncle made, which were full of "happy light," looked at the invisible "thinking nebula" above his uncle's head, and gazed at the tranquil "reading moonlight" on his aunt. Finally, his gaze would always fall on his mother unconsciously, as if he could still see that warm and inclusive halo of dawn and the golden light network connecting everyone.
He quietly turned to a new page in his observation notebook and drew a large sun radiating warm light. The sun extended out with many golden lines, connecting small symbols representing his grandfather, uncle, aunt, himself, Little Echo, Little Fox, Ginseng Doll, and so on.
Beside the sun, he meticulously wrote two large characters, crooked yet incredibly earnest:
【Home & Light】
Yuan Bao glanced at his son's painting by chance, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart, his eyes slightly warming.
She knew that these glasses, which she had obtained in exchange for game time, had opened a door for Xiaozhi to a broader spiritual world.
Behind this door, what the child perceives and depicts with his pure heart is the most core and precious treasure of this space and this family—that invisible yet omnipresent eternal energy called "love".
This realization will be buried deep like a seed, accompanying him throughout his life, growing warmly and steadfastly.
