Chapter 1035 - 1035 The End
1035 The End
Everyone from the Dou family was also there.
They more or less felt a little worried.
Elder Dou said to Zi Yi, “I’m sure you need to go for some time. Stay in touch with the family and keep us updated on your situation.”
They were leaving for outer s.p.a.ce, not just another country. Also, they were going to take care of s.p.a.ce monsters. No one knew the amount of danger they were going into. Everyone naturally felt worried.
!!
Zi Yi knew how they felt about this. She made a promise to Elder Dou. “Grandpa, don’t worry. I promise to get back and spend the new year with you. I’m still waiting for everyone to give us huge red packets. This year, you need to give three red packets. I hope you won’t feel bad about parting ways with your money.”
Her words were simply hilarious.
Dou Zerui said, “Is that all you can think of?”
Zi Yi scoffed and said, “You’re right. I like red packets. Oh yes. The twins and I are both waiting for your red packets. I suggest you work hard. Otherwise, when will you finally get to marry Sister Qin? After our cousin’s baby is born?”
Dou Zerui felt insulted. “What the h.e.l.l? Just you wait. By the time you get back, I’ll have married Little Qin.”
Zi Yi’s eyes lit up. “It’s a deal then.”
The people from the Dou family remained at the residence until after nine o’clock in the evening before leaving.
After they were gone, Third Master Lu finally broke his silence and said, “Yiyi, when you get back, I can go to the aviation research base as well. I want to visit outer s.p.a.ce too. As for Little Ming, he’s in your hands from now on.”
Zi Yi did not say no. “Sure thing. Third Uncle can go training with Dad.”
Third Master Lu slapped his thigh happily. “Good!”
After Third Master Lu was done talking, Lu Ming said while sitting beside Third Master Lu, “Sister-in-law.”
Zi Yi looked at the big boy in front of her.
Lu Ming said, “I will work hard learning to make mechas. When I succeed in becoming a mecha engineer, I can go into outer s.p.a.ce with you.”
Zi Yi smiled brightly as she nodded. “Sounds good.”
Lu Ming smiled until his eyes curved in delight.
After Third Master Lu and Lu Ming left, Mrs. Lu pushed Second Master Lu sitting there and said to Zi Yi and Lu Jingye, “The babies can sleep with us tonight so that you two can have a good night’s rest.”
The moment she finished her sentence, the two of them reached out their hands to carry the twins.
As Second Master Lu’s hand came towards Guoguo, she started crying. At the same time, she flailed her limbs pus.h.i.+ng him aside.
Second Master Lu looked at Mrs. Lu awkwardly. “Guoguo doesn’t want me to carry her.”
Mrs. Lu looked at the serious look on Tangtang’s face. She smiled and said, “The twins must know Yiyi is going away and are feeling sad. Baby Tangtang, your parents have things to say to each other tonight. You have to be good. Tomorrow, we can wake up earlier to say goodbye to them.”
She reached her hand out toward Tangtang.
After some time, Tangtang finally reached his hands out toward her.
Mrs. Lu hurriedly gestured to Second Master Lu. “Get Guoguo.”
Second Master Lu carried Guoguo and went upstairs.
Guoguo waved her hand at Zi Yi and the others and gurgled something. Zi Yi waved at her and beamed as she said, “Good night, Guoguo.”
Guoguo pouted miserably.
After the babies were gone, Lu Jingye said to Lu Yunxiao and Anya, “Rest well.”
He held Zi Yi’s hand and walked off.
After they were gone, Anya looked at Lu Yunxiao.
Lu Yunxiao also looked at her.
Anya said, “I can’t go with you this time.”
“Uh huh.”
Anya suddenly placed her hand on her belly and said, “You didn’t work hard enough the last time, so I didn’t get pregnant. Tonight, shall we work harder? Perhaps you can be a father by the time you get back, right?”
Lu Yunxiao looked at her belly and felt drawn by her words. After a few seconds, he finally acknowledged her.
Anya happily pulled him upstairs.
…
Meanwhile, on the other side.
At the Qin residence.
Qin Ze and Mr. Qin carried a chair and placed it in the yard outside the door. As the two of them looked at the stars in the sky, Qin Ze pointed at the constellations and chatted with Mr. Qin.
“Dad, those stars might look far using the naked eye, but once we go into outer s.p.a.ce, we can have them under our feet one day.”
Qin Ze kept talking about outer s.p.a.ce and his desire to go. He also talked about what he would do if he encountered more advanced civilizations.
Mr. Qin kept smiling as he listened to Qin Ze. Every now and then, Mr Qin would ask questions if he did not understand something.
Even though they were father and son, they interacted like friends.
After Qin Ze was almost done talking, Mr. Qin said encouragingly, “I have faith your dreams will come true. Little Zi knows a lot, so you have to learn from her. The future of earth is in your hands from now on.”
Qin Ze smiled sheepishly on hearing this.
He scratched his head awkwardly and said, “Mom, and you won’t be able to have a grandson just yet. If Mom nags about it, you have to put in a few good words for me.”
Mr. Qin was a very open-minded father. “Don’t worry. You are just 20 years old. It’s perfectly fine to get married when you are in your thirties or forties. Your top priority is to go take care of the worms with Zi Yi. Even though you are not on the front line, you got to outer s.p.a.ce through sheer diligence, so do not doubt yourself. Perhaps in a few years, Zi Yi will genuinely find her way to more advanced civilizations. When the time comes, you can always find a girl there and bring her back.”
“Heh heh.” Qin Ze laughed foolishly on hearing this.
For some reason, he looked forward to this.
Mr. Qin patted his shoulder and continued speaking, “No matter what, don’t cause trouble for anyone. If something happens, don’t be scared. Remember, your parents are waiting for you to come home.”
Qin Ze suddenly sensed his eyes turning teary and hurriedly sniffled. He smiled and nodded before pretending to put on a casual tone. “Dad, don’t worry. The fortune teller says I’m a lucky man. Just wait for me to make you proud.”
Mr. Qin smiled and nodded. “I’m waiting.”
“Uh huh. Just you wait.”
…
The next day, at sunrise, Mrs. Lu could hear the babies gurgling from the side.
She pushed Second Master Lu in his sleep. “Jianlin, are the twins up? I can hear them making noise.”
Second Master Lu raised his head to check the babies’ crib and saw them looking at him with their big round eyes. He laughed uncontrollably and said, “They are awake.”
The two of them quickly walked to stand beside the crib.
Guoguo was pulling her leg and chewing her foot. The moment she saw them, she reached her hands out and gurgled. She kept moving her limbs and clearly looked impatient.
Tangtang held the blanket as he looked at them eagerly.
Mrs. Lu did not know what to say. “I can’t believe they woke up so early. Even if you’re up, your mother is still sleeping.”
When no one carried her after some time, Guoguo pouted and looked like she was on the brink of tears.
Second Master Lu felt a twinge in his heart and promptly carried her.
At the same time, he carried Tangtang.
He carried a baby in each arm. The twins sat in his arms happily hugging his neck. Guoguo even rubbed her face on his adorably.
Mrs. Lu felt delighted seeing this. She said, “Why don’t you carry them? I will go get some warm water to help them wash up. I doubt they will go back to bed now.”
Second Master Lu’s heart turned to mush when his granddaughter kept rubbing her face against him. He nodded to Mrs. Lu.
The twins were very cooperative when they were getting washed. They even held their own bottles when they were given milk.
After Mrs. Lu was done feeding the twins, Second Master Lu carried them downstairs and waited for Zi Yi and the others to wake up.
Mrs. Lu went to the kitchen and prepared to make Zi Yi’s favorite snack.
Second Master Lu and the twins kept looking upstairs anxiously in unison as they waited.
When Lu Jingye and Lu Yunxiao came downstairs, they were welcomed by this scene.
The moment Guoguo saw Lu Jingye, she got excited.
“AHHH-”
She reached her hands out wanting him to hold her.
Lu Jingye carried her and asked, “Why are the twins up so early?”
Second Master Lu said, “They’ve already been awake for 30 minutes.”
Lu Jingye laughed happily. He carried Tangtang as well and went upstairs. As he walked, he said, “Your mother’s still sleeping. It’s still early, so you can sleep in with her, but don’t wake her up, okay?”
…
When Zi Yi and the others got to the aviation research base, Tangtang uncharacteristically refused to let go of Zi Yi. Even Lu Jingye was unable to make Tangtang leave Zi Yi. Guoguo kept sulking miserably as she babbled something anxiously.
Zi Yi was reluctant to leave her husband and kids. When the twins acted clingy, she promptly said to Lu Jingye, “Why don’t we bring the twins to the aviation research base?”
Lu Jingye frowned. “The twins are still too small.”
Tangtang and Guoguo babbled in retort unhappily.
Zi Yi laughed. “Even though they are young, their IQ is far higher than normal.”
The moment she finished her sentence, Guoguo raised her chubby hand and slapped Lu Jingye’s chin.
“See? Your daughter is so angry that she’s. .h.i.tting you.”
Lu Jingye promptly held her hand and kissed it.
He paused and asked, “Can we take them there using the s.p.a.ce shuttle?”
“Yes, we can. They have mental energy as well, so it’s perfectly fine for them to use the s.p.a.ce shuttle.”
Lu Jingye finally agreed to bring the twins to the aviation research base.
A lot of government officials from yesterday were waiting for them at the aviation research base.
Everyone stood in the control room looking at the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p on the large monitor with solemn looks on their faces. There was undisguisable excitement in their eyes.
They were stunned to see Zi Yi and Lu Jingye coming over with the twins.
The babies kept looking at the novel things around them without blinking their eyes. The government officials promptly found them adorable.
One of the leaders smiled and said, “Tangtang and Guoguo get to see this cutting-edge stuff at such a young age. I’m sure they will grow up to be important people.”
The twins turned to look at the crowd on hearing their names.
The typically serious-looking government officials surprisingly started playing with them genially.
Zi Yi handed Tangtang to Lu Jingye and said to them, “Wait for me.”
She turned to leave on saying this.
Lu Jingye called after her, “Little Yi.”
Zi Yi halted and looked at the three of them.
Lu Jingye said, “The kids and I are waiting for you to go back to your family to collect red packets. You have to return in time.”
Zi Yi smiled on hearing this and nodded at him. She walked back, stood on her tiptoes, and promptly kissed him. She proceeded to kiss Tangtang and Guoguo as well. Once she was done, she walked off.
Zi Yi walked up beneath the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.
Runge walked up in front of Zi Yi. After several months of training, his aura and the look in his eyes became even more imposing. He looked at her and said, “Zi Yi, everyone is ready.”
Zi Yi nodded. “Okay. Time to go.”
The people boarded the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.
After a countdown, the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p was launched.
This was the beginning of the war between the human and worm race in outer s.p.a.ce.
The battle lasted roughly over a month. Zi Yi and the others destroyed the worm race that had threatened the human race and saved those who were previously captured by the worm race.
Lu Yunxiao and Runge took the lead and went into outer s.p.a.ce looking for the raw materials that Zi Yi needed.
In the second year, Zi Yi announced her plans to rid the earth of terminal diseases. Also, the Futuristic School of Technology accepted a lot of students.
In the third year, a medication that could extend human life was created.
In the fourth year, Zi Yi led a team and created a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p capable of jumping through s.p.a.ce.
The human race started integrating with outer s.p.a.ce…
The End.
