With many new friends, Lu Wanqing felt even happier. After lunch, she went back for a nap.
It's worth mentioning that the Academy's arrangements are very humane, providing each staff member with a room for temporary rest or long-term accommodation for those from out of town.
Although Lu Wanqing had just joined the Academy, a room had already been assigned to her. Yu Nong took her to the room, and then it was their respective rest time.
Calling it a midday nap was a bit of an understatement; there was still some rest time left. Lu Wanqing thought about the super S-class mechs she had promised to build for the Seven Great Legions and immediately took out paper and pen to start drawing design blueprints.
Perhaps she truly had a talent for designing mechs in her bones. With just a few strokes of the pen on paper, Lu Wanqing had a rough exterior shape.
With the exterior decided, the internal structure was not difficult. She had designed it many times before, and the internal structure could be the same. The only difference, she supposed, would be the weapons to be loaded into these mechs.
Regarding weapons, Lu Wanqing found herself at a loss as to how to design them, looking at the finished blueprints.
However, this didn't stop her from copying the current blueprints into seven identical sets.
Seven Great Legions, seven mechs?
Could she... make these seven mechs exactly the same?
She seemed to have only promised each legion one super S-class mech, not that each legion's super S-class mech would be different, right?
Once some things were figured out, everything seemed to become simpler. Lu Wanqing couldn't help but smile.
However, her smile didn't last long. It quickly froze because she glanced at the time and suddenly realized it was already 3:30 PM?
Oh, this... wasn't time flying a bit too fast?
Also, what were the usual working hours at the Academy?
Lu Wanqing suddenly remembered how diligently Yu Nong worked every day. Even when picking up the children from kindergarten, he would bring them to the unit and continue working with them, only clocking out on time after work.
Wouldn't she be late on her first day at the Academy, or rather, slacking off in the afternoon?
Thinking this, Lu Wanqing quickly put away the blueprints she had just drawn and rushed towards the work area. She hurried into the office building and found Yu Nong.
Yu Nong was working and looked up at her when he heard the movement at the door.
Lu Wanqing ran in, panting. She stood at the doorway, met Yu Nong's gaze, took a deep breath, and then entered.
Standing beside Yu Nong, she felt a little anxious. "Um... am I late?"
"Mm," Yu Nong nodded.
Lu Wanqing: "..." It's over.
"You're different from everyone else; you don't have to come to work every day," Yu Nong suddenly added.
Lu Wanqing was stunned and looked up at him.
Yu Nong explained, "You still have to take care of other children, right? That is to say, besides Shushu, you'll have to go to the Wei family to look after that child, and other families..."
"You might have other things to do in the future, so you probably won't have much time to stay at the Academy to work every day. That's why I explained this for you when I applied for your job."
Lu Wanqing was dumbfounded. Her brain whirred, and after a while, she finally understood, but she was still a bit shocked and couldn't help but ask, "So what was the result of the explanation? That is... I don't have to clock in on time anymore?"
Yu Nong looked into Lu Wanqing's eyes, thought for a moment, then turned and took a document from his office, handing it to her.
Lu Wanqing took it curiously and began to read. She felt like the darling of the Federation. The people of this era were too kind, knowing her special circumstances and giving her so much freedom.
"Actually, the reason everyone agreed is also related to your special identity. You are from ancient Earth. Even if you only come occasionally to provide information about ancient Earth plants, it is extremely valuable. You deserve this job," Yu Nong said.
Lu Wanqing felt like crying. This was truly wonderful. The people of the interstellar era were so considerate. And Yu Nong, he had thought of all this long ago and fought for so many benefits for her.
Lu Wanqing realized that before she came to the Yu family and interacted with him, Yu Nong had been like a transparent person, easily forgotten or overlooked. But now that she was here, she found that among these people, he was probably the hardest to forget.
Yu Nong was more meticulous than most girls. He considered all the problems she overlooked and arranged everything for her in advance.
"Thank you," Lu Wanqing said earnestly after a long silence.
Yu Nong was slightly stunned, then looked away. With his usual subdued expression, he said, "It's a small matter."
Yes, a small matter. And only he could notice such small matters everywhere. From home to outside, one would suddenly feel his thoughtfulness and gentleness at unexpected moments, which felt very warm.
"Thank you," Lu Wanqing said again, unable to help herself.
After saying this thank you, Lu Wanqing suddenly felt a pang of soreness in her chest. She hadn't felt this way in a long time. It was like over three thousand years ago, only her brothers had been like this, thinking of everything for her, arranging everything for her, meticulously, caring, and considerate, making her feel very secure.
Yu Nong suddenly noticed Lu Wanqing crying. He was startled, then his pupils widened slightly in disbelief. He... he hadn't done anything out of line, had he? Why did he make her cry?
"You, you don't cry," Yu Nong hesitated, his voice suddenly a little stuttered. He raised his hand, wanting to wipe away her tears, but halfway up, he remembered the difference between men and women and stopped himself.
Lu Wanqing listened to his hesitant voice and couldn't help but smile. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she let out the happiest smile.
"Yu Nong, thank you. You remind me of my brother," Lu Wanqing couldn't help but say.
"Your... brother?" Yu Nong was slightly surprised.
Lu Wanqing nodded. "Yes, I have three brothers. They were very good to me before."
It was working hours, so it wasn't suitable for idle chat. Besides, the past was the past, and Lu Wanqing didn't want to talk too much about her past with others. She quickly put on a smile and said to Yu Nong, "Okay, it's working time now. Don't you need to continue working? I won't disturb you."
Yu Nong was stunned, then also realized that it was indeed inconvenient to talk about these things during working hours.
Yu Nong nodded. "Mm."
What a silly person. Lu Wanqing looked at him and suddenly understood why Wei Xingzhou called Yu Nong a bookworm. He was really quite silly, but adorably so.
