From disassembling the blueprints and making the parts to assembling them, Huaijin did all of this mecha model by himself. In order to finish it before Friday, he stayed up all night for several days.
The small model in front of me perfectly replicated Ye Jiu's blueprints. It was completely detachable from the inside out. Except for some very small parts that would be difficult to find if disassembled, which were glued in place, it perfectly met Ye Jiu's requirements.
Huaijin stretched her stiff neck. Tomorrow, she would meet her sister. She hoped her sister would like this birthday present.
The next morning, he and the robot began decorating the house, filling the living room with balloons and ribbons.
It was only 2 PM when everything was set up. Huaijin sat in the living room waiting for Ye Jiu to open the door so he could say, "Happy Birthday!"
Normally, Ye Jiu would finish one class on Friday afternoon, which is 4 PM, leave school, take the spaceship, and arrive home at 4:10 PM.
Huai Jin glanced at the time; there were still two hours until Ye Jiu returned. He imagined Ye Jiu's reaction upon seeing the birthday gift and looked forward to celebrating their sixth birthday together.
Huai Jin couldn't resist sending a message to Ye Jiu using his personal terminal.
Sister, I'm waiting for you to come back!
Sister, I have a surprise for you!
He stared at the screen, eagerly awaiting her message.
Ye Jiu, who usually replies instantly, took a long time to respond this time.
I'll try my best.
Huai Jin's face turned pale instantly. This reply was hardly good news; Ye Jiu had never said anything like that before.
He carefully chose his words when asking, "Sister, are you busy today?"
A few seconds later, a video call came in, and Huai Jin answered it immediately. Ye Jiu's tired face appeared on his personal computer screen.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Jin. I've been helping the teacher this week. I thought I could finish yesterday, but something unexpected happened in the middle, and I haven't finished yet."
"I thought I could finish before 4 p.m., so I didn't tell you this morning. But now it seems I... might not be able to go back today."
Ye Jiu rubbed her temples. "I'm sorry, Xiao Jin. I'll go back on Saturday. Can we celebrate my birthday together on Saturday?"
Through Huaijin's camera, she saw the birthday decorations in the living room and praised, "They're beautifully decorated! Xiaojin, you've worked so hard. It's just that Xiaojin will have to wait a little while for her older sister."
Huaijin bit her lower lip and remained silent, but the more she listened, the redder her eyes became.
"Is he really not coming back today?"
Ye Jiu shook her head. "There's still a long way to go, but I'll definitely be back tomorrow."
Ye Jiu was also helpless. He said it would be finished by Thursday, but who knew that the client would change his mind halfway through, forcing them to stay up all night as well.
Even a master like Tao Qiushui couldn't avoid encountering strange guests.
Fortunately, the changes are minor, and it should be finished tonight so she can go home to see him tomorrow.
"Ye Jiu? Have you finished your call? Teacher Tao is calling you." A gentle male voice came from behind.
Ye Jiu hurriedly said, "Xiao Jin, eat well and don't stay up late. I'm going back tomorrow. My teacher is calling me, so I'll be going now."
"Um..." Who is the boy? The call was cut off before Huaijin could finish speaking.
Who is that boy...?
The sudden appearance of a man in Ye Jiu's life made him feel threatened. He hadn't heard her mention any men in the past three years, and all her friends were women. When did this man appear in her life?
Jealousy distorted his face, and his inner unease reached its peak at this moment. He wanted to see Ye Jiu, right now.
All her past timidity and fear of strangers' gazes vanished at this moment. Compared to losing her sister, these things were insignificant!
Of course he knew he couldn't be with his sister forever! But he wasn't dead yet! At least until he died, absolutely, positively, positively no one could replace him by his sister's side!
"Butler, please get the gift box for my sister and put it in my storage bracelet. Then give me the storage bracelet; I'm going out."
The robot butler obeyed, and a joyful emoticon appeared on the screen.
“(σ≧?▽?≦?)σ”
"Young Master, it's wonderful that you're willing to go out!"
Then it put the gift box into the bracelet, and also put the umbrella and nutrient solution into the bracelet, and finally put the bracelet on his wrist.
The bracelet looks ordinary, but it uses space folding technology and can hold anything except living things. It has an area of about 90 square meters and is quite valuable.
He drove his wheelchair toward the door. Today he was in an electric wheelchair, which conveniently allowed him to walk without having to change wheels.
The spaceship the butler had ordered was already waiting at the door. The robot butler escorted him all the way out, and before he got into the car, it asked, "Do you need me to come with you?"
Huai Jin hesitated for a few seconds, then gritted her teeth and said, "No need. I'm just going to my sister's school. I can manage on my own."
He needs to adapt as soon as possible. Besides, the spaceship will take him directly to the school gate, so he'll definitely be fine. He's not so useless that he can't even do this.
Unpleasant memories flooded his mind. He closed the spaceship door, urged the pilot to hurry up, and forced himself not to think about it or hesitate.
He didn't want to miss his sister's birthday, and he was even more afraid that someone else would try to take her away from him, even though he knew his sister was very outstanding.
He thought that if he cried to his sister, she would probably be willing to stay away from that man for a while...
At least wait until he dies... he won't live much longer anyway.
Overwhelmed with anger, he coughed, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
He didn't care and wiped it off with his hand. He hadn't been checked in a long time and didn't know how many more days he had left to live.
