Lu Wanqing was happily engrossed when she turned around and suddenly found another person in the room. Startled, she instinctively recoiled. But as she turned again, she saw the projection of the person who had been teaching her to build mechs.
Two Mu Sijies!
Lu Wanqing was bewildered. She quickly turned back to look at the Mu Sijie who had suddenly appeared in the room.
Mu Sijie walked over and said, "You're learning very quickly, but you should also pay attention to resting."
Lu Wanqing finally realized. Was this the real Mu Sijie? Was he also on the star net?
Lu Wanqing recalled how she and Mu Sijie could appear in Mu Lan's study room when Xiao Mu Lan was learning. She quickly accepted the idea, realizing that Mu Sijie should also be able to appear here.
"It's alright, it's alright," Lu Wanqing replied with a smile, thinking of Mu Sijie's concern.
Mu Sijie said, "It's already very late. You should log off, have lunch, and then return to study after your nap."
"It's that late?" Lu Wanqing was surprised.
She raised her hand and opened her virtual terminal, checking the time. To her shock, she discovered it was already past one in the afternoon.
Noticing her surprise, Mu Sijie paused for a moment before reminding her, "If you tend to lose track of time, you can set an alarm for reminders from now on."
Lu Wanqing thought it was a good idea and nodded with a smile, "Yes, thank you for the reminder. I'll be more mindful from now on."
Mu Sijie chuckled and couldn't help but approach to examine the cockpit Lu Wanqing had built up close.
"It could still be optimized a bit more," Mu Sijie commented.
What?
Lu Wanqing froze, looking bewildered.
Mu Sijie picked up the cockpit Lu Wanqing had just completed and made a few simple adjustments. The parts were still the same, yet it seemed slightly different?
Lu Wanqing's curiosity was piqued again, and she stared at the cockpit Mu Sijie had adjusted.
Mu Sijie smiled, pulled out the room's memory storage, saved the data of the modified cockpit, and then turned to Lu Wanqing, saying, "Log off for lunch first. We'll study it when you get back."
His voice was gentle, but Lu Wanqing was completely oblivious at that moment. Her mind was filled with the cockpit, and she was eager to see what Mu Sijie had adjusted.
"Lu Wanqing!" Seeing that she had no intention of logging off, Mu Sijie couldn't help but raise his voice to remind her.
"Ah?" Lu Wanqing snapped back to attention, as if hearing Mu Sijie's voice for the first time. She looked up at him blankly.
Mu Sijie looked at her. Her eyes were so pure and clear, seeming to be filled only with mechs... and not a trace of him?
After spending so much time together, had she never felt even a flicker of affection for him?
Mu Sijie recalled how, no matter where he went in the past, young women would easily fall for him if they got a little closer. But with Lu Wanqing, none of it seemed to work?
"Oh, oh, I understand. I'll log off now, and I'll study it as soon as I'm back from lunch!" Lu Wanqing seemed to finally grasp the situation and quickly nodded in agreement.
As she spoke, Lu Wanqing immediately opened her virtual terminal and clicked the log-off button.
She was going to eat, and as soon as she finished, she would be back to continue her research!
Lu Wanqing's figure suddenly vanished in a flash of white light. She had hurriedly logged off, leaving Mu Sijie alone in the room. Mu Sijie: "..."
Mu Sijie remained silent for a long time before he too logged off. However, upon exiting the star net pod, he couldn't resist going to the restroom.
He stood before the mirror, looking at his reflection. His brow furrowed slightly, and he wondered if his face was no longer attractive.
Mu Sijie thought about it, then couldn't help but force a gentle, jade-like smile in the mirror. It was handsome, and perfectly normal. Why was Lu Wanqing so indifferent?
Mu Sijie pondered for a long time, but without any conclusion, he could only sigh softly.
But there was no rush. There would be plenty of time in the future. She would eventually discover his good qualities and fall for him.
Mu Sijie mused, and then smiled again. This time, his smile reached his eyes, and the reflection in the mirror also appeared gentle and elegant, like a distinguished young gentleman.
Mu Sijie washed his hands, then went to the rest room, took off his jacket, lay down on the bed, and closed his eyes for a nap.
Mu Residence.
Lu Wanqing rushed downstairs. Butler Mu looked puzzled and came over to ask, "Ms. Lu, has something happened?"
Lu Wanqing slammed on the brakes. She looked at Butler Mu and suddenly remembered that the domestic robots should be able to cook by themselves, right?
"Butler Mu, I wanted to ask, can the domestic robots make lunch?" She hadn't eaten lunch at the Mu residence yet.
Butler Mu was taken aback but quickly responded, nodding, "Of course, Ms. Lu. Would you like to have lunch?"
Lu Wanqing thought that she really didn't feel like cooking. She had studied for so long in the morning and hadn't felt tired while studying. But now that she was off the star net and had come downstairs, she was only now realizing that she was indeed a bit fatigued.
And besides, domestic robots in the interstellar era were supposed to be able to cook...
Lu Wanqing thought about it, her eyes brightening as she looked at Butler Mu, "Butler Mu, could you ask the domestic robot to make me a lunch? Not much, just a little, I don't eat much."
Butler Mu smiled at her words and immediately nodded, "Of course, Ms. Lu. What would you like to eat?"
"Can I order?" Lu Wanqing asked curiously.
Butler Mu nodded, "Of course. Domestic robots cook according to recipes. You have to place an order first before the food can be prepared."
"That's great!" Lu Wanqing was immediately delighted.
However, she quickly remembered that Mu Sijie's grandparents seemed to be home?
Thinking of this, Lu Wanqing suddenly felt a little awkward. She had been staying at their home for several days, and it seemed she had neglected his grandparents, especially at mealtimes. She was always absent, would they think she was very impolite?
Butler Mu noticed that Lu Wanqing had suddenly gone quiet and stopped moving. He waited for a moment, and seeing that she was still lost in thought, he couldn't help but prompt, "Ms. Lu?"
Lu Wanqing came back to her senses. She looked at Butler Mu, hesitated, and finally asked cautiously, "Butler Mu, that..."
As Lu Wanqing spoke, she cautiously glanced in other directions of the house. To be honest, she had been at the Mu residence for many days, but it seemed that besides breakfast and dinner, she rarely saw Mu Sijie's grandparents at home at other times?
"Are Mr. Mu's grandfather and grandmother at home? Have they had lunch?"
Butler Mu responded and immediately chuckled, shaking his head, "Ms. Lu, you don't need to worry. The old gentleman and lady are usually not home during the day. They go to the Senior Palace to socialize with people their age and will only return in the evening."
"Not home?" Lu Wanqing was surprised.
Butler Mu nodded with a smile, "Yes, during the day, only you, madam, are at home."
Lu Wanqing was a bit bewildered but finally felt relieved. Regardless, knowing that there was no one else home made her feel much more relaxed.
"Ms. Lu, what would you like for lunch?" Butler Mu asked again.
"Is there a menu?" Lu Wanqing's eyes lit up again, and she asked Butler Mu excitedly.
Delicious food, recipes, gourmet meals prepared by domestic robots in the interstellar era. She was really curious what kinds of dishes there were, were they all tasty? Were they all extremely delicious?
