After the mecha cabin closed, Lu Wanqing quickly pulled Xiao Mu Lan back. Then they watched the mecha move in the backyard, just like an armored warrior. It lifted its leg, walked, ran, and then leaped, attacked, and defended. The mecha executed a full set of movements perfectly!
The mecha quickly stopped, and the cockpit hatch opened. Mu Sijie descended from the mecha.
Lu Wanqing and Xiao Mu Lan rushed over, asking excitedly, "How was it?"
Mu Sijie looked at them with a satisfied expression. "Very good. The basic structure of the mecha is fine."
Lu Wanqing's eyes curved into a smile instantly. She was happy.
Xiao Mu Lan also held his mother's hand, saying happily, "Mommy, our mecha has no problems!"
Mu Sijie smiled and said, "You should both participate in the mecha design competition. The competition starts in the next couple of days, so go and try it out, see how you measure up."
"Participate in the competition?" Lu Wanqing was shocked.
Mu Sijie nodded with a smile. "Yes, the Mu family holds a mecha design competition every year, and there are many participants. Competing will also help you hone your skills."
"But... I've only been learning for a month." Lu Wanqing hesitated, not quite confident in her abilities. Learning for such a short period, would it be overestimating herself to compete? 138 Reading Network
"Mommy, it's okay. Let's go compete. We're not afraid!" Xiao Mu Lan suddenly held Lu Wanqing's hand and encouraged her.
Lu Wanqing lowered her gaze to look at Xiao Mu Lan.
Xiao Mu Lan raised his arm, clenched his little fist, and gave his mother courage. "Mommy, let's go together, we're the best!"
Lu Wanqing smiled instantly. She squatted down, pulled the little one into her arms, kissed his forehead, and then let him go.
"Yes, we are the best, we are not afraid, let's go compete together!" Lu Wanqing also raised her arm, clenched her fist, and promised Xiao Mu Lan.
Xiao Mu Lan smiled instantly, his eyes curving into a smile, very cute.
Lu Wanqing laughed along with the child.
Neither mother nor son noticed how alike they were when their eyes curved and they laughed together, so warm and loving.
Mu Sijie saw it. At this moment, he truly felt that Mu Lan was indeed Lu Wanqing's child. Like mother, like son, the child's very being was etched with Lu Wanqing's genes.
Participating in the competition wasn't difficult. They just needed to register online and upload their design schematics.
"Dad, can we win an award?" After registering, Xiao Mu Lan immediately asked Mu Sijie impatiently.
Mu Sijie looked down at his child and raised his hand, affectionately ruffling his hair. "I don't know."
He generally didn't involve himself in the competition's affairs; his subordinates handled the arrangements. Only when the results were out would the company submit the list of the most outstanding mecha designers selected by the competition to him.
Xiao Mu Lan looked at his father expectantly. After a while, he lowered his head, looking a bit dejected. "Okay."
Actually, the little fellow had some self-awareness. He knew the competition was difficult, with so many people participating every year. It wouldn't be easy for him and his mommy to win.
"But we won't give up. Mommy and I will keep working hard, and we'll be even better in the future!" Xiao Mu Lan quickly regained his courage and earnestly promised his father.
Mu Sijie suddenly smiled. He glanced at Lu Wanqing and then nodded. "Yes, Dad believes in you."
Lu Wanqing also felt a little shy. She ruffled Xiao Mu Lan's hair and said, "Lan Lan, we need to work even harder in the future."
"Mhm!" Xiao Mu Lan nodded heavily, extremely happy.
The competition was just a minor interlude for Lu Wanqing and Xiao Mu Lan. The mecha was something they had already built, and they were simply submitting it for the competition. As for the results, good results would be even better, but if the results were not ideal, they could still work harder in the future.
This was the first mecha they had officially built together, and it was successful. Lu Wanqing felt it was a matter worth celebrating, so she discussed with Mu Sijie and decided to take Xiao Mu Lan out for a day to reward their hard work during this period.
When Mu Sijie heard her explanation, he was first surprised, then happily agreed. Not only that, but Mu Sijie also decided to take a day off to go out with them.
"Mommy, are we really going out together?" Xiao Mu Lan was overjoyed upon hearing their decision, almost disbelieving his ears. Was all of this real? Were Mom and Dad really planning to take him out?
"Where are we going to play?" Xiao Mu Lan immediately became excited, asking excitedly.
Lu Wanqing smiled and asked, "Where do you want to go, Lan Lan?"
"I want to go to the amusement park!" Mu Lan said loudly without even thinking.
In kindergarten, other children's parents would take them to amusement parks, but he never had. He only had a dad before, not a mom. He always envied other children who could go out with their parents. Now that he finally had the chance, he couldn't wait to go to the amusement park with his parents.
An amusement park? Lu Wanqing chuckled at his words. An amusement park was indeed a child's favorite place.
"How about we go to the amusement park?" Lu Wanqing turned to Mu Sijie.
Mu Sijie looked at Lu Wanqing and asked with a smile, "What about you? Besides the amusement park, is there anywhere else you'd like to go?"
Lu Wanqing's eyes showed a moment of bewilderment. She was unfamiliar with the interstellar era and didn't know where they could go.
Mu Sijie noticed her confusion, paused for a moment, and then said, "After we go to the amusement park, we'll go see the sea of stars."
In Lu Wanqing's era, she probably couldn't see the sea of stars. Mu Sijie felt he could take her to see it. The sea of stars was beautiful, and she would probably like it.
"The sea of stars?" Lu Wanqing was surprised. Her eyes widened, and her gaze brightened at that moment, full of curiosity. "What does the sea of stars look like? Is it beautiful?"
Mu Sijie saw the familiar sparkle in her eyes and nodded with a smile. "Yes, it's very beautiful."
"Then I want to go!" Lu Wanqing immediately nodded, excited.
Mu Lan looked at his mother, then at his father, and quickly said, "I want to go too!"
Don't think he's young and doesn't know. The sea of stars is a favorite dating spot for lovers. A boy in his class whose parents often went there, and that boy said his parents never took him when they went to see the sea of stars, calling them very mean!
Lu Wanqing lowered her gaze to the little one and nodded with a smile. "Of course, we'll bring Lan Lan. We're a family, no matter where we go, we go together!"
Mu Sijie: "..."
