"Do you recognize me now?" Zhong Li Feiyu asked.
Lu Wanqing: "..."
Little Zhong Liyi pursed his lips slightly, happy.
Lu Wanqing, after a moment of stunned silence, also smiled happily and nodded, "Mm."
It was Zhong Li Feiyu; there was nothing to worry about.
"I was injured earlier," Zhong Li Feiyu suddenly said.
Lu Wanqing nodded, "Mm."
"My memory is temporarily unstable," Zhong Li Feiyu added.
Lu Wanqing: "???"
Lu Wanqing looked at Zhong Li Feiyu, and three words popped into her mind: Are you alright?
"But you shouldn't have lied to me. I do remember this child," Zhong Li Feiyu lowered his gaze to look at little Zhong Liyi again, a fleeting gentleness in his eyes.
Lu Wanqing was dumbfounded. After hesitating for a long time, she couldn't help but ask, "Then do you remember who you are?"
Zhong Li Feiyu shook his head.
Lu Wanqing realized and quickly opened her smart device, finding the most recent trending news. She handed it to Zhong Li Feiyu to see, "Take a look. Is the person in the photo you?"
Zhong Li Feiyu looked confused, but he turned and walked to the mirror. He looked at his reflection, then at the man on the star net, being questioned by the entire federal populace – Zhong Li Feiyu, the youngest Grand General of the Seventh Legion!
"You're saying I'm..." Zhong Li Feiyu began, incredulous.
Lu Wanqing looked at him and couldn't help but ask, "Where's the mecha?"
Zhong Li Feiyu also paused for a moment, then quickly took out his mecha and handed it to Lu Wanqing.
Lu Wanqing glanced at the mecha. It was King, a mecha she had personally built. She recognized it.
Lu Wanqing noticed that King had several damaged areas and frowned slightly.
"How did it get so severely damaged? You were previously..." Lu Wanqing started to say something but didn't know what to say.
The mecha, a hyper S-class, was in such a state. What would have happened to Fei Ying before? Lu Wanqing suddenly dared not imagine it and felt a surge of relief that Zhong Li Feiyu had used King this time. Otherwise, he might not have survived.
"You can repair mechas?" Zhong Li Feiyu, with his disordered memory, looked at her strangely.
"Dad, Mommy made King. Mommy and Uncle Mu lent you this mecha!" Little Zhong Liyi quickly explained when he heard his father's words.
Zhong Li Feiyu: "???"
Lu Wanqing took out the mecha repair tools. As the builder of King, repairing it was not difficult for her, though it might be for others.
They were currently outside, where danger could strike at any moment. Therefore, Lu Wanqing felt it was better to repair his mecha as quickly as possible to ensure their safety.
Repairing the mecha was also time-consuming. As Lu Wanqing worked, the sky darkened without her realizing it.
Little Zhong Liyi ran over and clicked on the lights.
Lu Wanqing suddenly came to her senses. It was so late; should she be preparing dinner?
She put down her tools and looked up.
"What's wrong?" Zhong Li Feiyu asked her.
Lu Wanqing put down her tools and said, "I'll repair it later. Let's make dinner first."
Zhong Li Feiyu: "???"
As Lu Wanqing spoke, she went to prepare the game. The game was bought from Zhong Li Feiyu that evening for one hundred star coins.
Honestly, the meat of mutated animals wasn't very delicious, but it was better than the nutrient paste bought from outside. With the seasonings she had brought, it was passable.
Lu Wanqing was preparing the game in the courtyard, and Zhong Li Feiyu followed. He watched her curiously for a while before asking, "You can cook?"
Lu Wanqing nodded, "Mm."
Zhong Li Feiyu's heart beat a little faster. His gaze towards her softened, "You are very capable."
She could repair mechas and cook; she was truly amazing.
As Zhong Li Feiyu spoke, he couldn't help but open his smart device to search for information about her.
Seeing him use his smart device, Lu Wanqing suddenly remembered something and said anxiously, "You can't use your own smart device."
Given Zhong Li Feiyu's current situation, using his own smart device to go online could easily expose his identity, and someone might track them down through the network at any moment!
As Lu Wanqing spoke, she instinctively looked at Zhong Li Feiyu's smart device.
Zhong Li Feiyu also paused for a moment, then explained, "This one is probably not mine."
What?
Lu Wanqing was bewildered and looked at him in surprise.
Zhong Li Feiyu thought for a moment and then readily opened his smart device's permissions for her to see.
Lu Wanqing glanced at the smart device's ID and then felt numb. This really wasn't Zhong Li Feiyu's smart device. Or rather, the one Zhong Li Feiyu was using now was probably also bought from the black market?
But then again, if Zhong Li Feiyu were using his own smart device, he would have been caught long ago and wouldn't have lasted until now.
Moreover, Zhong Li Feiyu wasn't foolish. Given his identity and upbringing, he would know how to handle unexpected situations. Perhaps he had already made arrangements, and even with his current memory issues, no accidents had occurred.
Lu Wanqing admired his ability to handle emergencies. However, as long as everyone was safe and sound, that was the best outcome.
She continued to prepare the game.
She had been living on Mu Yun Star for some time now. Initially, Lu Wanqing's movements when handling mutated animals were somewhat clumsy, but now she had basically gotten used to it. It took her half an hour to clean the game, chop the meat into pieces, and bring it to the pot.
"What is this for?" Zhong Li Feiyu looked at her pot, his expression full of curiosity.
Lu Wanqing explained, "The food made by ordinary domestic robots is a bit unappetizing, so I usually cook myself."
"Using this to cook?" Zhong Li Feiyu looked at the strange pot before him, his entire being filled with doubt.
"Dad, Mommy's cooking is delicious! Even the meat from mutated animals tastes better than what's made outside!" Little Zhong Liyi immediately spoke up to defend his mother when he saw his father doubting her.
Zhong Li Feiyu: "..."
Zhong Li Feiyu was puzzled. He watched Lu Wanqing, curious to see how she would cook with this strange contraption.
Lu Wanqing paid no mind to Zhong Li Feiyu's curious gaze and continued with her work.
"Xiao Yi, start the fire," Lu Wanqing said to little Zhong Liyi after preparing the ingredients.
Little Zhong Liyi nodded enthusiastically, "Mm-hmm!"
The little guy immediately ran to the corner of the yard, picked up an armful of firewood from a pile, and skillfully started a fire.
This was a tacit understanding developed between Lu Wanqing and Xiao Yi during this time: Lu Wanqing cooked, and the little one started the fire.
The conditions here were much better than when they were on the desolate planet. Back then, they had nothing, and starting a fire required the most primitive method of friction. Lu Wanqing had to do it herself, as Xiao Mu Lan couldn't. But here, they had dedicated fire-starting tools. Xiao Yi only needed to add firewood and ignite it with the ignition tool.
