Chapter 58
Once the past was opened, it could not be stopped from pouring out. Scenes flashed through her mind like a kaleidoscope. Jiang Zouwei still felt a little awkward. She jumped onto the tree in a few swift steps, folded her hands behind her head, and lay down against the branch.
Yao Si and Ji Wenxue sat on the sofa on the first floor, where they could easily spot any signs of trouble. Ying Zhao had gone to the lab to research some more drugs, and they had originally gone with her, but they were unable to help and were returning the same way.
"Let's find a way to help Sister Wan Di and Sister Zou Wei reconcile." Ji Wenxue said, feeling unsure. She was hoping for this, but she couldn't think of any solution.
Yao Si immediately grasped the key point. "But we don't know why the two of them started arguing, and now we can't even see them. Even if we want to, it's too difficult to do it."
"But Wanti is still sick. Why would Sister Zou Wei quarrel with her?" Even after several days, Yao Si still found it hard to accept.
Ji Wenxue was also puzzled.
Wandi tossed and turned her eyes under the covers for hours, unable to fall asleep. She felt uncomfortable being awake, and neither was she comfortable sleeping. She thought finding something to distract her would be a relief. Wandi pulled out her diary, intending to write something down.
She hesitated before starting to write, her fingertips occasionally pressing against the pen, the pressure feeding back into her body giving her a pleasant sensation. And so, Wandi opened her diary and began to read.
As she read those words, her heart was filled with warmth and a bittersweet feeling of time gone by. Wandi read page after page as if it were someone else's story. She looked out the window and thought of Jiang Zouwei.
In fact, after Jiang Zouwei left, she kept thinking about him. Sometimes it was the scene of their recent quarrel, and sometimes it was the scene of their previous fight or play together...
Jiang Zouwei's angry words seemed a little unreasonable at the time, but now that she has calmed down, Wan Di also understands the truth behind them.
Moreover, she had just flipped through her diary. From the very beginning, Jiang Zouwei had been almost a punctuation mark in her diary. Their once inseparable friendship had been preserved in this way. But the further she flipped through the diary, the more new names appeared, and Jiang Zouwei's name became less and less.
Neglected...
Cruel but accurate, especially when she came to Tiqiu, Jiang Zouwei was her only most trusted and familiar companion, always helping her and making her happy. But when she encountered small companionship or help in making decisions, she did not put the other person first.
She was afraid that the new sisters would not be able to adapt, the older ones were worried that their ideas were outdated, and the younger ones were worried that they would not be able to support her... Zou Wei was so powerful, but she forgot to understand the other party's feelings.
And then there was Caiwei. Wandi felt a pang of pain at the thought. Besides Caiwei, there were many other friends who had fought together all the way. Death was the only thing she couldn't change, no matter how hard she tried.
Whether as Zou Wei's sister or her own friend, Cai Wei's death is a heartbreaking thing.
The more she thought about it, the more complicated it seemed, yet it also seemed to become simpler. As her body gradually weakened, Wandi pulled out the most pressing thought from among all her thoughts.
——She wants to reconcile.
When Ji Wenxue and Yao Si came in, they happened to see Wan Di pushing open the door upstairs.
While the two were still hesitating about what to say or do, Wandi had already jumped down and sat on the sofa. She didn't need to ask anyone; she could sense that Jiang Zouwei was still not nearby.
"What are you two doing standing at the door? Come in."
"Oh oh, I'll be right there." Ji Wenxue and Yao Si finally came to their senses. Wan Di took the initiative to talk to them, and the two of them let go and rushed over from the left and right.
"Sister Wandi, how are you feeling? Are you still feeling unwell?"
"Do you need me to call Sister Ying Zhao back? She's in the lab right now. She said she's going to study the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams to see if she can find the cause of the disease."
Wan Di looked at Ji Wenxue, then at Yao Si, and instead of answering the question, she smiled. A natural smile graced her face, and the room, which had been deserted for several nights, finally became warm and lively.
"Don't worry, I feel fine now. There's no need to call Ying Zhao back. It's too tiring to run around so late at night."
After going out, seeing the familiar sisters, Wan Di felt warm and happy in her heart. Moreover, although Jiang Zouwei was not here... she could feel that the other party was not far away.
When Zou Wei comes back, they will reconcile!
That's what Wandi thought, but an unexpected war destroyed all his plans.
A planet called Yaswa in the neighboring galaxy suddenly began to attack their galaxy and was approaching their planet at an alarming speed.
Wandi's eyes were sharp, and he said firmly: "Fight!"
No matter what the other party's reason for attacking them, they have no reason to retreat.
Having decided to fight, the sisters on the ball united and responded one after another. However, someone needed to stay behind to prevent the enemy from making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, and someone also had to lead everyone on the front line.
Wandi was troubled by this very thing. If it had been her and Zou Wei before, it wouldn't have mattered which of them was in front or behind. But now, not to mention that they had a fight, she didn't even know where the other person was.
Sensing can only tell the state of life or death, but cannot tell the specific location.
As soon as she got the news, she arranged all the tasks. Now the only person missing was a candidate. Jiang Zouwei's name was written on the schedule and then erased.
"Let me go."
A hand suddenly reached out and pressed on the paper.
"Yao Si?" Wan Di looked up, not expecting Yao Si to appear.
"Don't you need someone? I'll go." When Yao Si learned that there was a battle, he felt angry and excited at the same time.
Wandi didn't answer immediately. After a while, she said, "You're not going. You have other tasks."
After Yao Si left, Wan Di returned to her room. A wall was opened, revealing all kinds of guns and cannons. She scanned the rows one by one, judging the pros and cons of each weapon in her mind.
It's dangerous but important. She doesn't trust anyone to be on the front line, she wants to go there herself.
In the quiet of midnight, Wandi didn't turn on the lights, only the soft moonlight streamed in. Her body felt like a rusty machine, growing weak. Her mind, already somewhat distracted by her illness, became sharply focused the moment she heard about the war.
From that moment on, Wandi's eyes immediately became cold and fierce. She would never allow anyone to invade her territory.
When his fingers were placed on the gun barrel he liked, they were suddenly grasped by a hand. Wandi's fingers and heart trembled, and he felt an extremely familiar breath behind him.
It’s Jiang Zouwei.
She wanted to turn around and heard Jiang Zouwei's voice.
"I'm still angry."
A low, flat voice reached her ears. Wan Di wanted to say something, but she felt Jiang Zouwei pinch her fingers and then pull out the gun.
"I won't leave my bad temper to you, so before that, I need to go vent a little."
As soon as Jiang Zouwei finished speaking, he was gone, and the token of command on the table was taken away. Wan Di knew what this meant. Jiang Zouwei went to the front line.
Even though he had solved a big problem for himself, the worries in his heart did not decrease much, Wan Di thought with a headache.
She hates this kind of unclearness the most.
But the war situation is tense, and it is definitely unrealistic to stay and talk with others.
Jiang Zouwei took the weapons, boarded the spaceship, and went to the front line with a few sisters. She was in a depressed mood and didn't want to lose her temper with her friends, so a group of people came to help her calm down.
Jiang Zouwei's eyes were terrifying, his movements were ferocious, and his attacks were merciless. Everyone thought Jiang Zouwei was just trying to protect their homeland, and no one knew the selfish motives hidden within.
Ji Wenxue also didn't sleep. She turned on six electronic screens at once. The war broke out suddenly, her sister Wan Di fell ill inexplicably, and her sister Zou Wei was nowhere to be found... The pressure from all sides made her want to shoulder the burden.
Her physical skills were inferior to her two sisters, and she couldn't even match Yao Si. Going into battle with bare hands would just be a way to get killed, and she wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
Mecha!
My interest was suddenly rekindled a few days ago. Regardless of the era, using tools to compensate for one's shortcomings is a very effective and clever idea. Technological developments have made assembly and production easier, but the most difficult and important thing is design.
Ji Wenxue had recently collaborated with Yao Si, discussing numerous ideas and sketching numerous sketches. She had originally considered researching and revising the design, slowly refining a prototype and then improving it. However, plans couldn't keep up with the pace of change, and the war effort was tight, leaving her no time for a slow process.
Ji Wenxue, while cramming her knowledge of design, immediately put it into practice. The more she learned about the power of creating powerful things with digital codes, the more magical it became. She didn't even pause to marvel at her incredible learning speed and ability, instead seizing every moment to pound away at the keyboard.
The blue light from the screen shone on Ji Wenxue's face and body from all directions. It was pitch black outside the window, and her eyes stared at the screen which became brighter and brighter.
On the screen, the rigid prototype of a robotic hand slowly developed into a flexible set of joints and fingers. Ji Wenxue constantly tweaked the parameters and tested the design over and over again, the knuckles of the fingers stretching, shortening, and bending with her movements.
Initially, the fingers could only follow commands one by one, but gradually their speed increased and the movements became continuous. Then, drawing on a powerful data model, the robot arm was able to autonomously adjust to the environment and the user's commands.
Hands, legs, feet, body... Ji Wenxue became more and more excited as she watched the robotic arm in front of her become more and more excited. She watched the cold data codes turn into a "smart" mecha. Although it was still incomplete, it was enough to make her feel a strong sense of satisfaction.
The strength brought by this sense of satisfaction made her continue to work tirelessly until the east dawned outside the window. Ji Wenxue sat there without even changing her posture.
