Before, she hadn't thought about it, but now that she saw it, Lu Wanqing's heart, which longed to decorate her own little home, stirred. Especially the plants in the interstellar era, those beautiful mutated plants from the Academy of Sciences, if she could grow them in her own small courtyard.
Ahhh, the mere thought made Lu Wanqing feel as if a cute dandelion cloud had taken root in her heart, ready to fly away!!!
Mu Sijie had been paying attention to Lu Wanqing. He noticed her flushed cheeks and the permanent smile on her lips, a curve that seemed impossible to unhook. He couldn't help but chuckle, "Do you like it that much?"
Lu Wanqing nodded vigorously, nodding so hard it looked like she was trying to dislodge something. "Mhm, it's so beautiful! If I tidy this place up, will this be my little home from now on?"
Mu Sijie paused for a moment. He had hoped she would consider his home instead, but…
"Mhm," Mu Sijie nodded.
Mu Sijie looked at the small house ahead. It was only two and a half stories high, not very tall, but for an ordinary family, it was more than enough.
"Let's go inside and take a look," Mu Sijie added.
Lu Wanqing nodded quickly, but…
"How do I get into this house?" Standing outside the front door, she was once again bewildered. She turned to look at Mu Sijie.
Even high-tech recognition, at least there should be a place to scan faces, right? When she had visited the Mu family, the Zhongli family, and the Yu family before, there was always a scanner machine at everyone's door.
Seeing her expectant gaze, Mu Sijie chuckled, "This is a new house. No one has lived here before, so it hasn't been activated yet. Open your light brain and activate it first."
Lu Wanqing: "...Activate?"
Mu Sijie nodded. "Mhm."
Lu Wanqing: !!! So advanced!!!
The interstellar era was constantly refreshing her understanding. High technology was everywhere.
"How do I activate it?" Lu Wanqing asked instinctively. She had never done anything like this before and didn't quite understand.
Lu Wanqing opened her light brain, found Fixed Assets, then found the house. She paused for a moment and clicked on the house. She saw that the house's page did indeed have an activation button.
"Is this the activation button?" Lu Wanqing couldn't help but grant Mu Sijie permission to view, inviting him to examine it together.
She had granted him permission!
Mu Sijie saw the contents on her light brain, and his heart suddenly fluttered. In their era, light brain permissions were very important, only granted to exceptionally important people!
"Sijie?" Lu Wanqing waited for a moment, but seeing Mu Sijie unresponsive, she felt a slight confusion.
Mu Sijie quickly came back to his senses. He looked at her light brain and said, "Just click it."
Lu Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief and raised her hand to press it.
"Wait a moment longer," Mu Sijie told Lu Wanqing.
"Okay," Lu Wanqing agreed.
They waited at the door. In reality, Lu Wanqing was staring at the house in front of her with curiosity. She didn't know what activating a house in the interstellar era would look like. Would the facial recognition device on the house only appear after she clicked the activation button on her light brain, and only then could she enter?
Where was this facial recognition device?
Lu Wanqing stared curiously at the door. Then, under her gaze, the wall by the door lit up like a mechanism. It glowed first, then flickered twice, and finally, a familiar door-scanning screen appeared.
"Wow, so high-tech!!!" Lu Wanqing's mouth couldn't help but open wide. She was truly impressed. Before activation, the scanning screen was completely invisible. High technology was amazing!!!
Mu Sijie watched from the side, finding it increasingly amusing. He couldn't help himself again, raising his hand and dotingly rubbing her head, then smiling, "Open the door and go inside."
"Mhm, mhm," Lu Wanqing hurried over.
Lu Wanqing scanned her face, and the house door quickly opened, revealing its interior.
As it was a new house, it was very empty, with no furniture.
But none of that was important. What mattered was the layout of the house.
Lu Wanqing went through the bedrooms, the kitchen, the living room, the dining room, and then to the second floor. The second floor also had several rooms and a balcony. This was simply… the dream home!!!
"So beautiful!!!" Lu Wanqing exclaimed after her tour.
Mu Sijie smiled slightly. Houses like this weren't the best in their era; they could only be considered upper-middle class. He hadn't expected her to like it so much.
And…
If she liked it this much, it might be a bit troublesome to ask her to live in his home in the future?
"The style of houses in the capital is all similar, only the locations are different. Do you want to see the other three?" After finishing with this one, Mu Sijie looked down at Lu Wanqing and asked.
"Mhm, yes!" Lu Wanqing quickly nodded.
Even if the styles were the same, the locations were different, and she had to see them. These were houses, houses in the capital!!!
They left quickly and headed to the next house.
They spent the entire day looking at the four houses, two in the morning and two in the afternoon. In the end, as Mu Sijie had said, these houses were all similar, with only different locations in the capital.
"Which one do you want to live in?" After they had seen them all, Mu Sijie couldn't help but ask.
Although the houses were the same, Mu Sijie subconsciously hoped she would choose the one he had given her.
"How about choosing this one near the floating water? It's closer to the Mu Group. Aren't you still making Class 3S mechs for the Seven Great Legions? This way, it'll be convenient for you to travel," Mu Sijie thought, and couldn't resist suggesting it slyly.
Lu Wanqing was taken aback, then remembered that she had promised to make Class 3S mechs for the Seven Great Legions.
If that were the case, choosing a house closer to the Mu Group would indeed be better.
But…
"I also promised Yu Nong that I would work at the Academy of Sciences," Lu Wanqing said after some hesitation.
Mu Sijie: ???
Mu Sijie was genuinely shocked. "You… work at the Academy of Sciences?"
Lu Wanqing looked a little conflicted and nodded. "Mhm, I, well, aren't the mutated plants in your era quite beautiful? And Yu Nong's mother needs honeysuckle from the ancient Earth era to treat her illness. I was thinking that I know a bit about honeysuckle, and if I studied, I might be able to cultivate it, so I agreed."
"No, that's not right. It was me who wanted to go. I mentioned it to Yu Nong, and Yu Nong invited me to work at the Academy of Sciences. Yu Nong said that everyone at the Academy of Sciences hoped I would work there."
Mu Sijie was bewildered. He asked blankly, "You understand plants?"
Lu Wanqing shook her head. "No, I don't. But I recognize quite a few plants from the ancient Earth era. I should be able to provide them with some information."
Mu Sijie thought about it. Information about ancient Earth era plants provided by someone who truly lived in the ancient Earth era would be much more efficient than their constant experimentation, archaeology, and repeated deductions.
"So you want to work at the Academy of Sciences?" Mu Sijie said.
Lu Wanqing hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Mhm."
