Chapter 8 The First Plant in Space



"These are all your private collections!"

Lu Yulan felt jealous; she thought she had probably become a lemon spirit (a person who is envious of others' feelings).

Countless large and small boxes float in the air with zero gravity.

It shone brightly in the vast, dark space.

They look like a cluster of little stars.

Girls can never resist things that sparkle and glitter.

"kindness."

After saying that, he considerately walked ahead, pressed a switch, and instantly everything was arranged neatly from largest to smallest.

"What do you like? Take a good look, I can give it to you."

Lu Yuanhong still regarded Lu Yulan as his little sister.

"No, no need."

Lu Yulan wasn't greedy. Although she hadn't left these past few days, it was because Grandpa Lu didn't want her to go. Besides, Lu Yulan always felt that when visiting someone's home, it was impolite to leave a small gift before leaving.

So I've been looking for opportunities.

Lu Fangyao instructed me to buy a lot of things this time, and I should be leaving in less than a week.

"Take a good look at this. Consider it a birthday gift for you in a week. I may have to leave in three days and won't be able to celebrate your birthday with you, so I'm giving it to you in advance, along with the apology from earlier."

Lu Yuanhong didn't actually need to say so much, but through the past two days, he could see that Lu Yulan was very gentle now, so she definitely wouldn't refuse if he said that.

"good."

As expected, after Lu Yulan agreed, Lu Yuanhong unconsciously smiled slightly. Although it wasn't visible on his extremely serious face, a hint of joy in his spirit told him everything.

Lu Yuanhong has a vast collection, ranging from a tiny leaf to other items that Lu Yulan doesn't recognize, the largest being a mecha five people tall.

Lu Yulan stood in front of the leaf, very curious. The leaf seemed to be just a simple, withered yellow maple leaf, nothing special. Why would Lu Yuanhong collect it?

I thought she would be more interested in things from another dimension, but I didn't expect her to keep looking at that leaf.

"This is a tree that I really liked at my old school. After I left, I took a leaf with me to keep it."

Her gentle voice was deliberately lowered by half a point so as not to startle Lu Yulan, who was lost in her own thoughts.

"Ah, oh, I see. I didn't expect you to be so nostalgic. Was that the biggest mecha your first mecha?"

Lu Yulan pointed to the largest box and said.

Lu Yuanhong looked at the mecha, which was well preserved, just like his own youth.

"Well, sort of. I minored in mecha design during college, and this was the first mecha I designed."

"You're amazing!"

Lu Yulan could only express her admiration with starry eyes. Although she was quite capable at times, she was self-aware and relied on hard work and a stubborn streak.

Human evolution doesn't necessarily mean becoming smarter, but being able to build a mecha by minoring in one thing is really impressive.

This wasn't the first time Lu Yuanhong had been praised; on the contrary, he was a prodigy who had been praised since childhood.

But just like what he heard in front of Lu Yulan's door that time, his praise was always based on the Lu family. Although everyone said that the Lu family had good genes and that like father, like son, it seemed that his own efforts did not play any role in it.

As a young and rebellious man, he initially chose to minor in mecha to prove himself. However, after witnessing the deaths of many soldiers on the border, he became indifferent. Praise held no meaning for him; saving a soldier was far more meaningful.

But hearing the words I longed to hear back then from this newly adult divorced woman a few years later still evoked a slightly different feeling.

"Thanks."

Lu Yuanhong sincerely thanked her, his deep amber eyes looking at Lu Yulan.

"No, you're welcome."

"Aren't we supposed to be looking at things from other dimensions? Where are they?"

Lu Yulan walked past him and went forward.

Lu Yuanhong followed behind, and the two figures were illuminated by the lights at the entrance, with Lu Yulan completely hidden beneath him.

For some reason, Lu Yuanhong thought of an ancient word at that moment.

settle down.

"Come here quickly."

Before Lu Yuanhong could make a further move, Lu Yulan waved to him from ahead; she had discovered something very magical.

chili!

With its slender, emerald-green leaves and bright red, spiraling fruit, it is undoubtedly a chili pepper.

Lu Yulan thought she would never see plants on Earth again in her life. She also searched for these things on forums and the StarNet, searching through all the plant names she knew, but none of them showed up.

But since they are all carbon-based organisms, the ingredients in the nutrient solution must also be extracted from plants and animals, so it must be... suitable for cooking.

It just takes a little time for Shennong to taste all the herbs.

How can we possibly lose the magnificent culinary culture of our great nation of China, which boasts a history of five thousand years?

As a foodie, I can't stand it. If there's chili, there must be something else.

And with chili peppers, you could make spicy hot pot, spicy stir-fry, or stir-fried pork with chili peppers. Lu Yulan felt her mouth watering.

Lu Yuanhong is simply my lucky star.

Lu Yuanhong quickened his pace and saw Lu Yulan looking at the bright red plant with undisguised excitement.

I had a slightly bad feeling about it.

"You like this?"

"OK."

Lu Yulan nodded frantically. Although she was from the South and had a slight stomach problem, it didn't stop her from being someone who couldn't live without spicy food.

"Can I have this as a gift?"

Lu Yulan felt a little embarrassed as soon as she said it. She had clearly agreed not to take the other person's things. Oh well, a foodie doesn't need to care about face. She might as well just consider herself shameless.

"Would you like to look at some other plants? There are many more beautiful ones than this one."

Lu Yuanhong wasn't reluctant to part with it. This was a seed that was randomly thrown in during a dimensional space opening. After the research department successfully cultivated this plant, they had other plants, but to avoid wasting them, they only cultivated this one and didn't continue using the others. Mainly, they found that it wasn't very useful. Although it wasn't aggressive, and the fruit it produced was bright red and quite beautiful, it couldn't be eaten, especially when added to nutrient solutions. It always caused a slight numbing pain. It wasn't exactly poisonous, but Lu Yuanhong liked collecting these things, so they gave him a pot of it.

Lu Yulan thought that if there were chili peppers, there might be other seasonings, such as star anise or Sichuan peppercorns.

The most important thing for people is not to give up hope; you never know when things might turn around.

See, here they come!

After browsing around for a while, Lu Yulan still couldn't find any other plants she wanted, but she was quite happy to have the chili peppers. Holding a pot of chili peppers, she happily thanked Lu Yuanhong and ran outside.

She wanted to go and share her joy with her younger brother, Lu.

Lu's younger brother: ...

What should I do if I suddenly feel a bit cold?
