Chapter 56
Ying Zhao stayed on Zuiba Star and joined the research institute. Because of her power, previously stagnant research is slowly gaining momentum. Furthermore, the female experts who have been promoted through assessment are also very willing to contribute to the missing "female" chapter in medicine.
We work together towards the same goal every day, and our lives are fulfilling and happy.
Chun took the assessment and was selected with far better results than she had imagined. Because she was no longer confused and entangled, and because she had entered through the proper procedures.
Chun not only devoted himself wholeheartedly to it, but also helped more people because of his inner richness and self-confidence.
She was very grateful to Wan Di for pulling her back from the misunderstanding. If she had not stopped herself in time that day, she couldn't imagine how serious the consequences would be because of her momentary thought.
Wandi's reforms were swift and bold, and people were actually more receptive to change than one might imagine. Change happens in an instant; even a deterioration takes only a few hours to digest, let alone a change for the better.
Win everyone's hearts and maintain a reasonable order, then there will be no need to worry about Wandi leaving.
But before leaving, Wandi planned to visit Lu Xuanzhou again. She walked into Lu Xuanzhou's small courtyard and knocked on the door. But it wasn't Lu Xuanzhou who opened the door, but a little girl wearing a hat. As if because she was too tall, she adjusted the brim of her hat and asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm here to find Lu Xuanzhou."
"My mother?" the little girl asked, raising the brim of her hat a little higher and looking at Wandi carefully. "But I don't know you."
"And it seems that you are younger than my mother. It's impolite to call her by her name." The little girl said as she hugged her arms, raised her head and looked up with bright eyes.
Wandi raised her left eyebrow slightly. "Huh?" She crossed her arms, imitating the little girl. "That's true, but sometimes you can't judge a person's age just by appearance."
Wandi's eyes flicked past the little girl, then flickered back for a moment. He raised his hand to straighten the little girl's hat, which had been tilted several times. "Who knows, I might be much older than your mother!"
Before the little girl could understand, she heard her mother suddenly shout in surprise, "Wandy, you're here!"
Wandi walked over there. She didn't know what the two adults talked about. After that, as the guests left, their small house was filled with silence again.
She had originally thought it was a trivial matter that would just pass. That evening, as she lay in bed getting ready for sleep, she suddenly remembered what had happened that afternoon as she closed her eyes.
A mysterious woman, whose cool fingers touched my hat with a pleasant scent, and whose fingertips were surprisingly soft when they accidentally touched my skin. My mom said it was amazing, and that it was indeed much cooler when she did the same thing as me... I fell asleep thinking about this. What will happen in my dreams?
"How is it?" Jiang Zouwei asked Wan Di who had returned.
"It's pretty much as I expected. Lu Xuanzhou is still reluctant to leave, but he's accepted the project."
"You are willing to take this step back, and the result is actually predictable. But I am a little surprised. Although Lu Xuanzhou's ability is okay, it is not to the extent that she is indispensable. There are so many engineers. If you want them, they will have to queue up. Why do you want to go there yourself?" Jiang Zouwei was a little unhappy. She did not love as much as Wanti. She only cared about the people around her. In her opinion, Wanti was willing to ask for help in person, but Lu Xuanzhou still refused. To put it bluntly, isn't it ungrateful?
Wandi raised her hand and stroked Jiang Zouwei's back from top to bottom to soothe him. "It's easy to find an engineer, but I need more than just an engineer."
Jiang Zouwei nodded in agreement after hearing the explanation, which was equivalent to not saying anything at all. Regardless, she would always put Wandi's wishes first.
On the spaceship back to the ball, Yao Si was already jumping around. Ji Wenxue, who had followed Yao Si to supervise several exams, only then began to feel the soreness in her calves and lumbar spine.
"Yao Si, if you mess around with me again, I'll be a dog!"
Yao Si stuck out his tongue playfully, "Alright, Wenxue, stop talking, or your waist will hurt again."
Ji Wenxue: "..."
These thoughtful words sounded really harsh at this moment.
Wan Di and Jiang Zou watched the two playing with a smile.
"When I saw you then, I was surprised as to how you two came here." Wandi said with a smile.
"It's all Yao Si's fault. He said it was so boring that I had to go and experience it." Ji Wenxue complained, and now she felt a thousand regrets in her heart.
Upon hearing this, Yao Si's face was filled with joy on one side and sadness on the other. "Well, it's hard to explain. It's tiring, but I did gain something. However, I still feel like something is missing..."
Ji Wenxue couldn't help but rolled her eyes, "My aunt, you missed a slap from me to wake you up."
"Wenxue, you seem to be getting more and more irritable recently." Yao Si walked up to Ji Wenxue, who was having difficulty moving, and put his palms on Ji Wenxue's cheeks, pressing them towards the middle, as if helping her make faces.
"Thanks to you." Ji Wenxue struggled to make a sound through her distorted facial features.
Everyone was so amused that they quickly got off the spaceship and walked on their beautiful pedicure balls.
Everyone was busy with their own things, and the departure and return times were different. Some people even stayed in the same room without seeing each other for several days.
One night, Ji Wenxue was sitting on the sofa in the living room downstairs, holding a pen and paper, sometimes drawing lines, sometimes pausing to think. She was so focused that she didn't notice the door was pushed open.
Wandi was surprised to see Ji Wenxue still sitting there when she came back. She walked over quietly and asked, "Wenxue, it's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"
"Hey!" Ji Wenxue raised her head, her eyes wide open. "Sister Wandi, you're back just now?"
For fear of disturbing others, both of them spoke in low voices, like whispering.
Wan Di nodded and said, "I dealt with some things. What about you? What are you doing?" Wan Di sat next to Ji Wenxue with doubts, and she had already seen the things on the paper out of the corner of her eye.
"Is this... a mecha?"
Ji Wenxue nodded slowly. Even though her drawing was very abstract and was a draft made with parameters that only she could understand, she didn't find it strange that Wandi could recognize it.
"Are you interested in this, or do you have a mecha you want?" Wan Di whispered softly. She had already decided that if Wen Xue had something she liked, she would help her realize it.
Ji Wenxue didn't respond for a long time. Wan Di turned around in surprise and suddenly saw that Ji Wenxue's eyes were red.
"What's wrong? Are you wronged?"
Wan Di touched Ji Wenxue's cheek and patted her back.
Ji Wenxue leaned forward and fell into Wandi's arms. After a moment's rest, her throat finally felt less dry. She spoke slowly.
"The other day I saw you and Sister Zou Wei discussing mechas. When we returned from Mouth Star, you were also lost in thought as you looked at the mecha interface. I thought you were worried about this, but I didn't understand it at all. After looking up various materials, I seem to understand that this is indeed what we need."
Ji Wenxue swallowed and spoke more fluently, "I want to help, but I'm afraid I'll mess it up. So I thought I'd prepare more myself first..."
Ji Wenxue spoke, and Wandi softly echoed her. She patted Ji Wenxue's head again, her eyes filled with heartache. There was so much going on, and almost all her time was occupied by endless work. She had indeed communicated less with her sisters, and her care for them was not enough.
Ji Wenxue continued speaking.
"There are other people like us, some of whom we haven't known for long. Let's talk about those who are close, not those we met long ago. Sister Ying Zhao was already very capable, and after accepting new ideas, she shines even more. Yao Si always seemed to be playing around, but after learning from you, his martial arts skills have become more and more sophisticated... There are many more. When I think of these, I can't help but think back to my past."
"We've been together for a long time, and aside from hobbies like cooking, I haven't learned anything. I used to be grateful for my leisurely time, but now I feel regretful. You only regret not having enough knowledge when you need it. Now I want to help but I don't have any skills, so I can only do what I want but not what I can."
Ji Wenxue's eyes dimmed as she spoke. The emotions pent up deep in her heart were nearly overwhelming her. She'd thought she'd feel shame and pain when she revealed them to someone she trusted, but when she actually spoke them out, she felt a long-lost sense of relief.
Before, every breath she took felt like a stagnant, foul air. She breathed in and out carefully; breathing freely would have made her feel suffocated. But now, leaning on Sister Wandi's shoulder, fresh air naturally circulated through her body.
Wan Di patted Ji Wenxue's body gently as if coaxing a child. "Don't think like that. Isn't the effort we've been making ultimately to allow everyone to do what they love and fully enjoy life? It was seeing you so happy at that time that made me more determined in my belief."
"Don't regret the past. Whatever you want to learn, it's never too late to start now as long as you're still alive. You can become even more powerful in the future, but the past is something you can never go back to."
Wan Di's few words shocked Ji Wenxue deeply. She took in too much at once and her brain seemed to stop working properly. She couldn't even remember how she got back to her bedroom and had her first good sleep in the past few months.
Ji Wenxue got up the next day with a pen and paper in her arms. She suddenly remembered the excitement that sister Wanti had said last night. She seemed to have a flash of inspiration and wanted to stay up late to draw something.
Unexpectedly, her body went limp as soon as it touched the bed, and she became sleepy as soon as her head touched the pillow. She couldn't even remember how she fell asleep last night.
Even more tragically, her inspiration! Her inspiration! She had also forgotten it!
