Lu Yang watched from the side as they chatted. After an unknown amount of time, Lu Wanqing finally shifted her gaze away from the lumina-brain.
"Third Brother, the Federation will also be gifting me a planet. Si Jie just said that the Federation has already approved it, and I can even choose the planet I want!" Lu Wanqing said to her third brother, beaming with joy.
"I can give you many planets," Lu Yang said earnestly.
Lu Wanqing blinked, then belatedly realized, was Third Brother jealous?
"Third Brother, this planet isn't a gift from Mu Si Jie to me. I'm working for the Federation, joined the Federation Armaments Bureau, and promised to build mechs for them, that's why they're giving it to me," Lu Wanqing explained with a smile.
"Mm," Lu Yang nodded.
"Tell me what kind of mechs you want, and you can choose any planet in the Empire," Lu Yang added.
Lu Wanqing looked at her Third Brother and suddenly found him incredibly cute.
She thought about their current relationship, and though she tried to hold back, she couldn't resist. She walked over and suddenly kissed him on the cheek.
Lu Yang's ears immediately turned red as he looked at her.
"Third Brother, you're so cute," Lu Wanqing said, smiling.
Lu Yang somewhat awkwardly raised his hand to cover the spot where she had kissed him, looking at her. "Don't fool around."
After he spoke, Lu Yang paused, then added, "If you like other planets, that's fine too. Even if it's not an Imperial planet, we can conquer it."
The Imperial army feared no force.
Lu Wanqing: "..."
"Pfft," Lu Wanqing couldn't help but laugh.
The next moment, Lu Wanqing hugged her Third Brother. She was so happy and touched. She was truly overjoyed to see Third Brother again in this interstellar era, three thousand years later.
But thinking about the past three thousand years, during which Third Brother had waited for her, she felt a pang of sadness. He must have been miserable during the time he couldn't find her.
"Third Brother, shall we get married?" Lu Wanqing thought, then suddenly looked up, meeting Lu Yang's eyes, and asked.
Lu Yang's pupils widened, and he stared at her in shock.
Lu Wanqing tiptoed and suddenly kissed his lips.
Lu Yang froze. He was so shocked that he didn't know how to react.
However, Lu Yang quickly regained his senses, gripped the back of her head, and deepened the kiss.
This profound kiss seemed to span three thousand years, finally reaching its culmination at this moment.
They kissed for an unknown duration. Finally, Lu Yang couldn't help himself. He scooped Lu Wanqing into his arms and carried her back to the room.
The intelligent Qingqing... no, it was Ying Huo. Ying Huo's feelings were complicated, but it couldn't help but be happy for its master.
Master had finally found the person he loved after waiting for so long!
Ying Huo suddenly thought that humans seemed to enjoy celebrations, especially when couples proposed. It seemed like there was... some kind of ritual needed?
Ying Huo's chip whirred rapidly as it began searching for human romance movies and information!
In the room, Lu Yang carried Lu Wanqing back and placed her on the soft, large bed. He couldn't resist deepening the kiss. He truly... missed her so much, so much!
It was daytime!
Realizing what Third Brother intended, Lu Wanqing instinctively felt shy and wanted to stop him. However, the hand she raised changed direction when she remembered Third Brother had waited for her for over three thousand years. Instead, she gently hugged her Third Brother and then proactively unbuttoned his shirt.
Soon, the bedroom was filled with an intimate atmosphere.
It wasn't until noon, when it was time for lunch, that Lu Wanqing's stomach rumbled, and the two emerged from the room.
The intelligent Ying Huo was ecstatic and quickly zipped over, happily asking, "Master, Master, I just did some research. When humans are together, it's usually the male who proposes to the female and prepares a grand proposal ceremony. Do you want to prepare a grand proposal ceremony for Miss Wanqing as well?"
Ying Huo spoke while invading the nanny robot's chip to move.
Lu Wanqing saw the nanny robot sliding towards them and her mind went blank for a moment. When she came to her senses, she couldn't help but marvel inwardly at how advanced interstellar intelligence had become. Beings like Ying Huo possessed their own consciousness, although such intelligences were very rare.
However...
Robots with consciousness also seemed like a frightening prospect.
Lu Wanqing mused silently, recalling ancient Earth times. When machines gradually replaced labor, many people worried if robots truly gained human consciousness, would they eventually replace humanity?
She wondered if these concerns still existed in the interstellar era, or perhaps the interstellar era had long since found ways to deal with robots, which was why they didn't worry about them replacing humans?
"Mm," Lu Yang nodded as Lu Wanqing was lost in thought.
Lu Wanqing's mind went blank, and she couldn't help but look at her Third Brother.
"Prepare the grandest proposal scene," Lu Yang said.
"Third Brother!"
"No need!"
Lu Wanqing reacted immediately and quickly said.
Imagining everyone in the galaxy watching Third Brother propose to her made Lu Wanqing's scalp tingle inexplicably.
Lu Yang looked at her, his eyes showing a hint of hurt. "Doesn't Qingqing like it?"
Lu Wanqing: "..." Could she really say no?
Lu Wanqing felt that she and Third Brother were no longer strangers. From ancient Earth to the present, even though she had slept for three thousand years in between, she felt that their relationship had always been very good, both in the past and now. She... understood Third Brother, didn't she?
"Third Brother... do you like it?" Lu Wanqing thought, then tentatively asked.
Lu Yang looked into her eyes for a long time, then finally nodded. "Yes."
He wanted to do it, to make it the grandest, to let everyone in the galaxy, even Tian Xing, see. He wanted everyone to know that he was going to propose to Qingqing, that Qingqing would accept his proposal, and that they would be together!
Lu Wanqing: "!!!"
"Qingqing, is that okay?" Lu Yang couldn't help but hold Lu Wanqing's hand and ask in a low, pleading voice.
Lu Wanqing's head buzzed. She nodded vaguely, "Mm."
She felt she couldn't refuse. This was Third Brother, it was Third Brother!!!
Lu Yang quickly smiled, happily. "Good, I'll go prepare right away."
"Wait a moment," Lu Wanqing said urgently.
"Third Brother, can the proposal ceremony... like, wait until I visit Cui Cui's home... never mind, let's just do it now." Lu Wanqing's unfinished sentence changed her mind.
Third Brother had already waited for her for three thousand years. She suddenly didn't want him to wait any longer. Even a year, or even a day, she didn't want him to wait. They should probably be together immediately.
"Qingqing still wants to visit that child's home?" Lu Yang asked.
Lu Wanqing: "..."
