The Number One Star in the Interstellar Era [BL]
Chapter 242 - CALLING MOM AND DADTHE first one to welcome Astrid was his AI housekeeper cat. "Welcome back, Master."
Astrid crouched down and picked up the cat. "Has my brother returned?"
"Yes, Master. He's currently sleeping right now."
Astrid nodded. He lightened his steps so as not to disturb Reas' sleep. But as if hearing his arrival, the door to the room opened. His brother walked out with messy ice-blue hair and a pair of sleepy teal-gray eyes.
"You're back," the other said with a yawn.
"If you're still sleepy, then go back to sleep," he said with a helpless smile.
"It's fine. If I sleep more, I may not be able to sleep later," Reas said, walking to the couch and sitting on it.
"Did you eat lunch?" Astrid asked as he sat beside the other, putting the cat on his lap.
"Yeah. How's your audition by the way?"
"It went well. I just have to wait for three days to know the result," Astrid responded.
"This role will definitely be yours," Reas said with confidence.
Astrid only chuckled at that. "I sure do hope so," he said. "How about you? How's school? Did that Lancaster person bother you again?"
"It's fine. We're just learning some theoretical knowledge, so it's a bit boring. And Lancaster has been treating me like air these days, so, no, there hadn't been any trouble so far."
Although Reas and Cyrus Lancaster were from the same department, the two of them barely had any contact this past week. Even if they passed by each other, the other wouldn't even glance at him.
He actually preferred it this way. At least, Lancaster's followers didn't bother or annoy him. That's definitely much peaceful compared to the week-long training.
Astrid nodded. That Lancaster ignoring Reas was definitely better than the other scheming against his brother. This also gave Astrid a bit of peace of mind.
"Let's video call Mom and Dad," he said, changing the topic. "I'm sure they would want to know what we did for our first week of school here."
Reas had no problem with that and just nodded.
Astrid then dialed his mother's number with his Terminal and sent a request for a video call. It didn't take long for the other line to be answered and their mother's beautiful face appeared on the screen.
"Astrid, I was just about to call you," Emmy said, clearly excited seeing her son. "Wait, I'll call your dad."
Before Astrid could answer, the scene on the screen became a bit shaky, showing that their mother was moving. Then, they heard her calling their father. Astrid took that chance to pull Reas closer, so the other would also appear on the screen and their parents could see them both. After a while, the shaking stopped and both their mom and dad appeared on the screen.
"My babies, how was your first week of school?" Emmy asked. Her sapphire blue eyes were full of enthusiasm.
Anyone who heard her and saw the expression on her face would think that she was talking to a pair of five-year olds that just experienced their first day of school. Their father clearly thought so as well because the other said;
"Emmy, our kids are not primary school students. Look, their getting shy from your babying."
Emmy quickly pouted. "And what's wrong with that? Aren't they my babies? No matter how old they are, they will forever be my babies."
Gage put his arm around his wife's shoulder to appease her and even kissed the top of her head. "Yes, yes, I was wrong. You can baby them all you want."
Astrid and Reas looked at each other and both saw a hint of helplessness in their eyes. Their parents were being lovey-dovey again. If this was in Astrid's past life, then he could say that he was being fed a mouthful of dog food.
He cleared his throat to take the attentions of his parents back and answered his mother's earlier question.
"The school is fine and I learned a lot. I also made a friend."
Then, Astrid followed that up with some bits and pieces that happened to him this week. Of course, excluding that time when those three people troubled him. There wasn't any need to tell his parents that. After all, it didn't really affect him in any way.
Reas followed after. What he told was also just mundane things that happened at the academy. From the lessons to the activities and to the people he encountered. Of course, this did not include Cyrus Lancaster. What's the use of mentioning that guy? It's not like the other was making trouble and making life hard for him.
He also had a feeling that Cyrus wouldn't use his family to deal with him. Although he couldn't say the same for the other members of that family. Maybe some time in the future, they would try to deal with him because he was overshadowing Cyrus. But that still hadn't happened yet. So, there's no need to worry his parents needlessly.
Astrid also didn't mention anything about that. The both of them tacitly agreed to never mention anything that could cause their parents to worry. Just as they also didn't mention anything about the prince having contact with them again or Wulfric being actual friends with Astrid.
"That's good," Emmy said, obviously relieved and happy that her kids were doing good.
"By the way, Mom, Dad, do you remember what I said before that I will be appearing on an episode of that web drama, [Blind Justice]?" Astrid asked.
"Of course. It will be shown next week, right?" Gage said. "We told all our neighbors about it. We all decided to have a viewing night and watch it together."
Astrid suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. The neighbors that his father mentioned were the tenants living in their land and working on their farm. Knowing his father, those people probably had no choice but to agree to watch together.
He shook his head and just said, "Since it's a special episode, the production team prepared a trailer for it. They will post the trailer tonight. Mom and Dad could watch it if you like."
"We will definitely watch it!" both said almost at the same time.
Seeing them like this, Astrid couldn't help but laugh.
