Chapter 12 Giving a Gift to Ying Xing
I am always happy when I am on vacation while others are working.
One month after Lu Qi became a social animal, he finally felt this happiness today.
She took advantage of the fact that Ying Xing was still working as a corporate slave in the Industrial Manufacturing Company, and on the second day after returning to the Immortal Boat, she gathered a group of people and attacked him.
In fact, there are not a lot of them. There is only Jing Yuan, the little bad guy who is in cahoots with others, Bai Heng who likes to watch the fun and no matter how, Dan Feng who was tricked by Jing Yuan.
Jing Liu did not participate in it. She was not very interested in watching such things.
However, Bai Heng said that she would take a camera to take a picture of Ying Xing's angry expression and send it to Jingliu to see, and Jingliu agreed.
Everyone except Ying Xing knew what gift he was about to receive. The man in Yuzhao, who had only received the message that the group was coming to see him and had no idea what was going to happen, simply replied "Oh" and continued to work shirtless.
This wasn't Lu Qi's first time at the factory, but it was her first time doing something wicked. Actually, it wasn't wicked, after all, she was here to have fun... No, she was here to give gifts!
I've been here a few times before, but it was just for sightseeing. After all, Lu Qi hadn't officially joined the Cloud Cavalry at that time, and a group of people were worried about her future.
We can't let the short-lived child go back to school to study. If that happens, wouldn't the money Danfeng lent him be wasted in this life?
So they planned to let Lu Qi visit Luofu Liuyu, and finally Dan Feng decided to let her participate in the logistics assessment of the Yunqi Army.
Logistics medics don't have much need for force. After all, these days, mortal flesh is not as powerful as a particle cannon.
Although Lu Qi didn't need to take the martial arts test, she still needed to learn how to drive a Star Raft. Before officially joining the Cloud Cavalry, Bai Heng personally taught her how to drive, and after a period of practice, she obtained a temporary Star Raft driver's license.
The official version of the driver's license is still in production, but Lu Qi's mission came suddenly, so he took a backdoor.
The excuse he used to come to the Industrial Manufacturing Company this time was to visit relatives and friends. Given Yingxing Baiye's status as the head of the Great Refining Company, no one would be so blind as to stop him.
Besides, they are all Cloud Cavalry, they just come here for a visit and don’t do anything.
Every time he came here, Lu Qi would be amazed by the ingenious craftsmanship of the Gongzaosi.
The endless stream of freight ships brought the materials the craftsmen needed, and the hurried pedestrians might be famous craftsmen in the newspapers. And above all, the towering eaves and green tiles stretched out in layers.
Lu Qi raised his head. The sky, glowing with a faint blue light, cast the light and shadow of the Milky Way. Countless stardust particles were hanging in the air, and the air was filled with the fusion of steel and furnace.
She stood there without moving. Jing Yuan, who was leading the way, was talking to her. When he didn't hear her response, he stopped and turned around.
"What are you looking at?"
"I'm looking at that mechanical bird over there," Lu Qi stretched out her hand, motioning Jing Yuan to look in the direction of her finger. "Given the weight of the items, how can such a small body carry such a large load?"
"Hmm... I've never thought about this kind of question," Jing Yuan shrugged disinterestedly. "You can ask Brother Ying Xing about this, if you're not afraid of being called stupid."
"Forget it then." Lu Qi retreated for a second and pretended nothing happened.
In her other hand she was still holding a wrapped gift, wrapped in the torn hem of Huaici's white robe.
The material of the clothes was special and invulnerable to swords and guns. Lu Qi tried to cut it into small pieces of cloth, but found that neither scissors nor fire could damage it at all.
As for the dust and the like, it can be shaken off with just a simple shake... No wonder it is pure white, without any color at all.
I guess this is because the craftsmanship cannot accommodate other colors.
In fact, the cloth that wrapped the machine bowl was the gift Lu Qi really wanted to give. It would be even better if Brother Ying Xing could figure out something from it.
When Lu Qi and his group arrived at Ying Xing's workplace in a mighty procession, they brought not only people but also the overly lively noise.
"I guess Brother Ying Xing will come out with a hammer in a while." Jing Yuan said.
"Then I guess he not only holds a hammer but also has his bare chest." Lu Qi added.
"You two have the same idea, do you still need to make a bet?" Bai Heng interrupted.
"In a moment, Ying Xing will be shirtless and hit each of you on the head with a hammer." Dan Feng concluded.
Ying Xing took all these words in. Veins on his forehead throbbed, and when he walked out, he was indeed holding a hammer, and raised the tool that still smelled of molten fire with a gloomy expression.
"What are these bastards saying about picking on other people's work hours?"
Ying Xing, like Lu Qi, is a short-lived person. He is a dozen years older than Lu Qi. He has long white hair tied in a high ponytail and a muscular body that is strong enough to kill ten Lu Qis.
"Brother Ying Xing~"
"Brother Ying Xing, long time no see~"
The two most disrespectful kids greeted Ying Xing obediently at this moment. He squinted his eyes and stared at them for several seconds before snorting coldly and letting them in.
"Don't touch my things. If your hands get rotten, don't say I didn't warn you."
Lu Qi obediently withdrew his hand that was about to touch the mask hanging on the shelf, while Jing Yuan put his hands behind his back very experiencedly and whistled in a way that made it even more obvious.
Before meeting this group of bad friends, Ying Xing was still working as a blacksmith. His whole body was almost soaked in sweat. After just a few steps, a few drops of sweat flowed down his forehead.
He picked up the towel hanging around his neck without changing his expression and wiped it casually twice.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Brother Ying Xing, what are you talking about? Can't I come to you if there is nothing wrong?" Lu Qi said dissatisfiedly.
"What do you want to do by picking out bastards who come to other people's homes when they are at work?" Ying Xing repeated this sentence, appearing to be very concerned.
After saying that, he poured Lu Qi a glass of water, put it in her hand, and then pressed her head with his big palm without hesitation.
Lu Qi was a short man, only about 1.6 meters tall, with a head even smaller than that of an average person, just big enough for Ying Xing to grab with his open hands.
This brat was obviously the youngest in their group, but he always acted like a spoiled brat. Ying Xing was convinced that Lu Qi had brought people here for no good reason, so he decided to ask her what she was up to.
Just seeing her self-righteous look, I always have to rub her hard to be satisfied.
"Wait, don't rub my hair!" Lu Qi yelled.
When Ying Xing was ravaging Lu Qi's head, Dan Feng, who was watching from the side, gave him a dissatisfied look.
Jing Yuan poured himself some water and also poured a glass for Bai Heng. As for Dan Feng, he probably wouldn't drink it, so there was no need to pour him any.
The white-haired boy couldn't help but complain: "Brother Ying Xing is always partial and only pours water for Sister Lu Qi."
"Put your head here for me to grab, and I'll pour it for you."
"Forget it, you keep pulling sister Lu Qi's hair," Jing Yuan changed the subject, "I'm still young and don't want to become bald."
As soon as the conversation turned to hair, Lu Qi immediately became excited.
She held the water cup in one hand and struggled to break free from Ying Xing's clutches with the other hand, continuing to shout in dissatisfaction.
"Brother Ying Xing, did you grab my hair without washing your hands just now?!"
Ying Xing showed a cruel smile.
"Yes, that's right, and I didn't wash my hands."
"Ahhh, I'm going to fight you!"
Lu Qi wept and complained, saying that Ying Xing was cruel and unforgivable. Ying Xing let out a deep breath of anger, and immediately felt refreshed and his face became a little friendlier.
"So, what are you doing here? If you don't tell me, get out of the factory."
"I brought you a gift," Lu Qi sobbed, "You are so cold and heartless. I will never forgive you!"
As she spoke, she took out the package she wanted to give to Ying Xing.
Ying Xing was used to seeing Lu Qi pretending to cry. No one present wanted to comfort the little brat who hadn't shed a single tear. They just surrounded Ying Xing and looked at the gift she had given.
The gift was opened, revealing a clear, silver-white semicircular iron block inside.
Bai Heng thought Lu Qi was just talking, but he didn't expect her to actually give him such a gift. Jing Yuan, unaware of the truth, stretched out his finger and gently poked the iron lump.
Even Dan Feng's gaze shifted from Lu Qi to the gift.
"What is this?" Jing Yuan asked, poking it with his hand in a shameless manner.
"The robotic bowl," Lu Qi replied, stopping her fake tears. "It's a real commemoration! I relied on it to survive the week on the desolate planet."
"Oh? Then what's the use of it?"
“It’s used to hold water.”
Jing Yuan: "...Do you mean to ask Ying Xing to drink more hot water? Thank you so much for not giving me such a gift."
It didn't look like it was worth a group of people going to so much trouble to come and give it as a gift. Jing Yuan always felt something was wrong. He turned his head and found that the person receiving the gift had not said anything, but had lowered his head and stroked the white cloth.
Is Brother Ying Xing angry?
Before Jing Yuan had time to think about how to comfort him, he heard Dan Feng speak.
It would be fine if Brother Danfeng didn't speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt like he was going to be put in a sack and beaten.
"Ying Xing, you don't like it?"
"Of course not," Ying Xing raised his head, his brows showing no dissatisfaction. He tilted his head slightly, his eyes sparkling, "This is truly a unique and good gift."
Jing Yuan: “?” Brother Ying Xing must have gone crazy because of this.
Just as Jing Yuan was shocked, he saw Ying Xing pull out the white cloth under the bowl of the machine, and the clear bowl turned around and fell upside down on the table.
What is going on?
Jing Yuan was confused. He subconsciously looked at Lu Qi's expression and saw that she was holding her chin and smiling with her eyes curved.
"I knew I couldn't hide it from Brother Ying Xing," Lu Qi said cheerfully, "That piece of white cloth is my real gift to you, Brother Ying Xing, make good use of it."
"Sister Bai Heng, what's going on?" Jing Yuan approached Bai Heng and asked her.
"I don't know either," Bai Heng shook his head, a look of regret showing on his face. "It's a pity that I couldn't capture Ying Xing's angry expression."
So, was he the only one among the group who really thought they were here simply to give gifts? Damn it, then what was the point of him calling Dan Feng over? Why wasn't Dan Feng jealous?
Ying Xing was in a good mood and patiently explained to Jing Yuan and Bai Heng who knew nothing about it.
"The density of this cloth is unusual, and the production process is worth studying."
After getting the new materials, Ying Xing happily kicked a group of people out and shut himself in to work overtime.
Although she didn't see Ying Xingge's angry expression, Lu Qi was still very happy that the other party liked her gift so much.
When they left, everyone except Dan Feng had a happy smile on their face.
Bai Heng and Jing Yuan both wanted to go home for dinner, and after making an appointment with Lu Qi to meet again, they went their separate ways, leaving Lu Qi to face the sullen-looking Dan Feng.
She also discovered that Dan Feng was holding the machine bowl that Ying Xing didn't want anymore. The clear silver-white semicircle was flashing brightly.
Seeing Lu Qi looking down at this thing, Dan Feng spoke.
"All their gifts have been delivered."
"Ah... yes," Lu Qi scratched his cheek and asked him meaningfully, "Do you like that machine bowl?"
Dan Feng then realized that he had brought this thing out with him and was silent for a moment.
"I didn't expect you to like it... I was thinking of picking out some nice utensils tomorrow." Lu Qi muttered, "But since you like it, there's nothing I can do."
She was holding a silver bowl, and the moment she lowered her head, her black pupils lit up with a green light.
Fluorescent green power snaked up along her fingers, and a green jade dragon gradually grew and became lifelike in the bowl.
"Look," Lu Qi said with a smile, "This is the first gift I give you. It will bloom in the spring."
Dan Feng doesn't care whether this plant dragon will bloom or not.
But he knew that the flower in his heart slowly bloomed with Lu Qi's smile.
