Hua Qingmo was a little amused and exasperated. "I'm one of the most handsome men in the Federation, can't you let me compare myself with younger people? Besides, this isn't even my peak yet. When I get a little rounder, I'll be even more handsome than I am now."
“But you’re the first young person I’ve ever seen,” Lu Manman thought for a moment, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration, “Oh right, you’re even prettier than the food teacher.”
Hua Qingmo chuckled, "Hahaha, I know. In short, I am the most handsome, and there's no arguing about it."
Lu Manman stared blankly at Hua Qingmo, "My goodness, you look even more beautiful when you smile."
"If I had known you were this good-looking, I would have been nicer to you."
Everyone loves beauty. Having grown accustomed to seeing grandfathers, Lu Manman was suddenly struck by the sight of such a handsome young man.
Hua Qingmo tossed her hair narcissistically, "It's never too late to start now."
Over time, Lu Manman had grown accustomed to his narcissism.
But it seems like longer hair really does look better.
Lu Manman touched her prickly buzz cut and then looked at Hua Qingmo's hair.
Hua Qingmo saw through Lu Manman's thoughts and said smugly:
"You regret it now, don't you? I told you not to cut your hair the other day, but you wouldn't listen. Now you know why I wouldn't let Grandpa Feng touch my hair the other day."
Lu Manman nodded.
Hua Qingmo smiled slightly upon seeing this and continued, "Grandpa Feng cuts hair well, but he can't design hairstyles. It's not as good as the haircut I cut myself now. Listen to me, don't let Grandpa Feng cut your hair next time. Let it grow long, and I'll design a hairstyle for you. I guarantee you'll look good."
"Hmm!" Lu Manman still loves beauty.
Looking at the somewhat silly-looking Lu Manman, Hua Qingmo patted Lu Manman's buzz cut, "Hmm! So good!"
Life returned to peace, and with Hua Qingmo's arrival, the safe zone was filled with laughter and joy.
Seeing Lu Manman's happy face, the grandfathers all remarked that children still need the company of their peers, and that the child was even more beautiful now.
Now, the two people of the same age spend their days going out hand in hand, and they have already traveled to most parts of the planet.
I discovered many new and fun things, and also saw many beautiful landscapes.
It has to be said that this planet now shows no trace of its original barren state as a garbage planet.
Of course, if you ignore the toxicity of those plants, the lush trees and the occasional mutated beasts that appear would really make you think you've returned to a primitive society.
Looking at the hordes of mutated beasts that kept emerging, Hua Qingmo frowned. "Strange, why are there more and more mutated beasts the further we go?"
Lu Manman looked up at the sky, "The Zerg are increasing in number."
Hua Qingmo said with a look of regret, "Then it seems we can't go any further. Let's go and see somewhere else first."
Lu Manman was a little confused. "What's wrong? Don't you usually like to go wherever there are Zerg or mutated beasts?"
Looking at Lu Manman, whose hair had grown to her waist, Hua Qingmo chuckled, her bright smile dazzling Lu Manman's eyes. "Look at what you're saying. I don't always do this. I just suddenly thought of a fun place. Between a dangerous place and a fun place, I'd definitely choose the latter."
"Besides, that place is closer to the safe zone. We haven't been back for a long time, so it's time to go back and see our grandfathers so they won't worry about us."
Lu Manman thought about it again and realized that it made sense.
This area is beyond the communication range of the simple quantum computer that Hua Qingmo made, so they haven't been able to let their grandfathers know they're safe for several days, and the grandfathers are worried.
Hua Qingmo looked around again. "Alright, release the mecha. We'll take you to that nice place now."
Lu Manman obediently released the mecha from the mecha necklace that Hua Qingmo had repaired, and only after entering the mecha did she remove the superpowers from both of them.
To reduce the chances of being discovered by the Zerg, they have always shared a single mech.
Hua Qingmo gently ruffled Lu Manman's hair. "Our girl is amazing. I wish we could have your abilities too."
Lu Manman dodged Hua Qingmo's claws. "Okay, stop rubbing, or your hairstyle will be messed up."
After standing still, Lu Manman continued, "It's fine as it is now. I will protect you."
Hua Qingmo laughed heartily, "Then I'll have to trouble this beautiful lady."
The two chatted and laughed all the way to a coastline, where they happened to catch the sunset.
The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the entire sea red. Lu Manman opened her eyes wide and looked at the sunset. It was so beautiful.
As the sea breeze gently caressed Lu Manman's hair, her Hua Qingmo DIY dress swayed in the breeze. Lu Manman couldn't help but close her eyes, open her arms, and take a deep breath—the unique scent of the sea.
This feeling is so wonderful, so comfortable.
"This place is really great, I love it, and you were right about the place."
Lu Manman happily turned around and shared her joy with Hua Qingmo.
But unexpectedly, she bumped into a pair of eyes that were filled with her, and the deep affection overflowing from them made Lu Manman's cheeks burn.
She clearly saw herself reflected in Hua Qingmo's pupils, looking so happy and comfortable, with a hint of... shyness.
Hua Qingmo quickly realized what was happening, looked away, and handed the coconut with a hole in it to Lu Manman.
"I suddenly thought of something and spaced out for a moment. My mind was completely blank, and I almost forgot to let you try this coconut."
The road ahead is long: ...
So that's how it is. The romantic feeling that had risen in Lu Manman's heart vanished instantly, and she couldn't help but feel embarrassed and annoyed. What's wrong with her?
"Let me tell you, this coconut is delicious and it's not poisonous, so drink it without worry. I'll give you as much as you want today."
Hua Qingmo's voice was still ringing in her ears, but Lu Manman kept staring at the hole in the coconut.
Hua Qingmo: "Hey, what are you daydreaming about? Come and try it, it's incredibly delicious!"
Lu Manman shook her head, picked up the coconut, and took a hearty sip. "Mmm! It's really delicious."
The group stayed there for a few days before heading towards the safe zone.
Inside the safe zone, the grandfathers who had received the information long ago were already waiting at the entrance.
Seeing the mecha in the distance, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. When they saw that the two were safe and sound, they were completely relieved and then burst into uncontrollable joy.
Lu Manman happily skipped forward, "Grandpas, we're back!"
