After browsing the star net for a while, Lu Wanqing ultimately didn't know where to go to play. In the end, she took Xiao Mu Lan off the star net.
Leaving the star net, her mind uncontrollably drifted to what Zhong Li Feiyu had said on the desolate planet, that the one-year period was drawing to a close.
After a year of being together, Lu Wanqing found that she had truly developed feelings for Lan Lan, and she felt a deep reluctance to part ways.
But she couldn't stay either. Not only was Lan Lan her child, but the other children were also all hers. She had already spent a year with Lan Lan, and she couldn't neglect the other children. Moreover, those children must also be anticipating their mommy's appearance, right?
"Lan Lan, do you want to learn to build mechs together?" Lu Wanqing thought and couldn't help but lower her gaze to ask Xiao Mu Lan.
For some time, she and Xiao Mu Lan had been mostly playing on the desolate planet. Lan Lan also seemed not to have studied for a while, and she was worried about affecting the child's learning progress.
"Does Mommy want to build a mech?" Xiao Mu Lan asked.
Lu Wanqing nodded: "Yes."
Lu Wanqing wanted to build another mech, a small one, tailor-made for Xiao Mu Lan.
She didn't know much, especially anything she could show off. The Mu family was powerful enough to give Mu Lan everything he desired. Now, what she could leave for her child was probably a super-3S mech she designed and created herself, wasn't it?
"Then I want to learn too!" Xiao Mu Lan immediately nodded.
After playing for so long, the little one finally remembered that Mommy was super powerful and could build super-3S mechs. He wanted to become as powerful as Mommy too!
"Mommy, I will study hard, and I will definitely be as powerful as you in the future!!!" the little one thought, looking at Mommy and saying earnestly.
Lu Wanqing smiled, happy: "Good."
"Then let's go learn together," Lu Wanqing said.
"Okay!" Xiao Mu Lan immediately agreed, extremely happy.
Lu Wanqing quickly took the child to the laboratory, and then mother and son began to work busily together in the laboratory.
Mu Sijie had prepared very detailed learning videos for the child. Mu Lan could open the videos and follow Mu Sijie's recordings for one-on-one instruction and serious study.
Lu Wanqing also took out her blueprints and began to conceptualize the gift she wanted to leave for Xiao Mu Lan.
Thinking that the mech was a gift for her child, Lu Wanqing's thoughts became agile, and many inspirations poured in.
First and foremost was the appearance of the mech. This small mech was her gift to Xiao Mu Lan. Mu Lan was only a little over four years old, still a child, so the mech's exterior naturally prioritized cartoon characters.
Lu Wanqing thought to herself, her peripheral vision fixed on Xiao Mu Lan, and for some reason, the ancient mythical beast - Bai Ze - suddenly leaped into her mind!
Mu Sijie had a gentle and kind nature, and Lan Lan had perfectly inherited his father's disposition, being very gentle, much like the mythical beast Bai Ze!
With inspiration in her mind, Lu Wanqing's drawing process was swift. Before long, a drawing of the mythical beast Bai Ze's appearance was completed.
"Mommy, what is this?" Xiao Mu Lan, while taking breaks from his studies, would occasionally glance over at Mommy. He noticed that what Mommy was drawing was something he had never seen before, and it was so cute and beautiful. Finally, when Mommy finished the drawing, he couldn't help but ask.
Could it be that the mech Mommy was going to build next would look like this?
It was different from the mechs in the interstellar era, and it was so cute!
"This is the mythical beast Bai Ze. Does Lan Lan like it?" Hearing her child's question, Lu Wanqing couldn't help but hold up the drawing and ask the child.
Mu Lan looked at the drawing intently and then nodded vigorously: "Yes! It looks very good!"
A deep smile suddenly appeared in Lu Wanqing's eyes. She looked at her child and said gently, "Then Mommy will make it into a small mech and give it to Lan Lan as a gift, okay?"
Xiao Mu Lan's eyes immediately lit up. He looked up at his mommy in surprise: "Is the mech Mommy is going to build this time going to be given to me?"
Lu Wanqing smiled and nodded: "Yes, Mommy wants to give Lan Lan a gift, and I hope Lan Lan likes it."
"I like it!" Mu Lan nodded happily without a second thought, his eyes particularly bright!
Xiao Mu Lan knew that this unique and beautiful-looking mech was designed for him. His heart pounded, feeling his little heart thumping in his chest, excited.
"Mommy, was Bai Ze an animal from ancient Earth times?" Xiao Mu Lan looked at the drawing, liking it more and more, almost unable to tear his eyes away. He asked curiously, a happy smile curving his lips.
"Bai Ze is an animal from ancient Chinese mythology during the ancient Earth era. It is an auspicious beast, it can speak human language, knows everything in the world, and can ward off all evil spirits in the human world!" Lu Wanqing explained to her child.
Mu Lan's eyes widened, curious and adoring: "It's so amazing!"
"Yes," Lu Wanqing nodded with a smile. She looked at the drawing of Bai Ze and said again, "Does Lan Lan like it?"
"Yes!" Xiao Mu Lan said happily.
Lu Wanqing's mood was also good. She smiled and said, "Then Mommy will make the mech look like Bai Ze and give it to Lan Lan as a gift, okay?"
"Okay!" Mu Lan was overjoyed. He looked at the drawing of Bai Ze, liking it very much!
"Mommy, how long will it take to make Bai Ze?" Xiao Mu Lan couldn't help but look forward to it and immediately began to press.
Lu Wanqing chuckled and then said, "Mommy hasn't decided yet. When Mommy has finalized the internal structure and drawn the blueprints, I'll start making it for Lan Lan right away, okay?"
"Okay," Mu Lan agreed, very happy.
Lu Wanqing quickly got busy. Holding the blueprints, she began to design the internal structure of the Bai Ze mini-mech piece by piece.
Because of its unique appearance, the internal structure also needed careful consideration. Lu Wanqing thought about Bai Ze's appearance and thoughtfully considered the mech's internal structure. Her pen didn't stop, constantly sketching and doodling, as she strove to outline the cockpit.
Lu Wanqing was busy, and a day passed unknowingly until the housekeeper came up to remind them that it was time to go down for dinner.
Lu Wanqing came back to her senses, glanced at the blueprints she had drawn all day, took a deep breath, threw everything that wasn't finished into the trash can, and then looked up at Lan Lan and said, "Lan Lan, it's time to eat."
Xiao Mu Lan, having studied all day, was also hungry. Hearing his mommy's words, he immediately nodded: "Okay."
Lu Wanqing took the child downstairs, but when they reached the bottom, she was stunned. From the second-floor corridor to the entire first floor, the house was filled with roses, exceptionally beautiful.
Mu Sijie stood in the first-floor living room, holding a bouquet of roses in his hand, looking at her with gentle eyes.
Lu Wanqing seemed to understand something, her breathing instantly becoming erratic, but...
"Mommy!" Xiao Mu Lan was happy, tugging at Mommy's sleeve with his small hand.
Lu Wanqing's body suddenly felt stiff. She stood at the top of the second-floor staircase, looking at the sea of roses downstairs, unable to step out.
