Chapter 516: Nono’s New Owner
The morning sun had just risen in the horizon, and the sky was shrouded in a layer of gray fog.
Su Wan looked up at the piles of sc.r.a.p metal around her and sighed softly.
Initially, Luo Yi had wanted to go along with Su Wan to look for the steel blocks, but Mama Luo said that her family did not raise trash and told Luo Yi to prepare for the start of school. The task of picking up materials at the garbage dump would be undertaken by Su Wan alone.
After all, she was living under someone else’s roof. Su Wan did not have any objections to this arrangement. It was just that Mama Luo had secretly pulled Luo Yi to talk for a long time last night.
Su Wan stood outside the window and could barely distinguish the words “can’t afford to pay the tuition fee.”
Because Mama Luo kept repeating this sentence all day long, Su Wan could not help but ask Luo Yi for advice on what it meant.
Later, Mama Luo and Luo Yi quarreled, but Su Wan couldn’t understand a single word. She could only use a recording pen to record these words and guess blindly.
Could it be that Mama Luo wanted to kick me out?
As the mother and son quarreled, Luo Yi’s crying suddenly came from inside. Su Wan’s eyes were startled, and she couldn’t help but rush in to mediate the fight.
However, Mama Luo dragged her out with a smile. She even waved her hand to indicate that it was nothing, but Luo Yi was throwing a childish tantrum.
Moreover, Mama Luo was no longer staring at her necklace, and she had no intention of kicking her out of the house.
What the h.e.l.l was going on?!
Could it be that, just like on Earth, the young boy and his powerful mother were not on good terms, and he had become rebellious?
When Luo Yi stopped crying, Su Wan did not know how to comfort him. Luo Yi looked at the heroine with a strange and apologetic expression, but he did not say anything.
How should she put it? It was as if he was extremely sad, and there was also a sense of resignation in his eyes.
Why would a thirteen-year-old child have such vicissitudes of life in his eyes?
Su Wan’s hair stood on end when Luo Yi looked at her. She thought that it was because he was still young and had a seizure from his youth, so she did not think too much about it…
Luo Yi’s and Mama Luo’s att.i.tude towards her seemed to have changed drastically after this fight.
Luo Yi suddenly became silent and did not say a word. Mama Luo was always smiling, and her entire person was filled with a strange enthusiasm.
When she recalled what happened last night, Su Wan still felt that something was strange, but she could not guess what exactly was strange.
Su Wan took out the recording pen from her pocket and looked at it. There was a recording of Mama Luo and Luo Yi arguing last night, but she could not understand a word of it.
Su Wan was deeply depressed — the language barrier was really a big problem. She could not understand anything.
She really did not know when she would be able to master the basics of the interstellar language.
Only by mastering the language would she be able to find Jiang Xuecheng faster.
As she thought of Jiang Xuecheng, a trance flashed across Su Wan’s eyes — that man was so smart, he should have adapted to life here earlier than her, right?
Su Wan pursed her lips and smiled. She put the recording pen back into her pocket, bent down, and prepared to find a steel block that she could bring back.
All of a sudden, Su Wan heard a cute child’s voice behind her.
“You’re here? You look much better!”
A familiar voice sounded in her ears. Su Wan’s clear eyes immediately widened — the other party was actually speaking Chinese!
And this voice was so familiar. It was like the child who kept talking in her ear while she was in a daze on the first day.
Did that child say that her name was “Nono?”
As she had been rescued quickly, Su Wan had forgotten that such a person existed. It was only when she heard this voice that she remembered.
Su Wan immediately looked around, trying to find where the other party was. However, she could not find a single person in the surroundings other than various metal sc.r.a.ps.
Did she see a ghost in broad daylight?!
“Nono… Where are you?”
Su Wan’s body trembled, and her whole body turned sour. When she thought that it could speak Chinese and sounded concerned, Su Wan suppressed her fear.
Because of Su Wan’s trembling, the recording pen in her pocket immediately fell to the ground.
With a crisp bang, the recording pen hit the pen’s switch b.u.t.ton, and the recorded sound suddenly flowed out.
The argument between Mama Luo and Luo Yi added a bit of strangeness to the empty metal dump.
Su Wan frowned and wanted to pick up the recording pen, but Nono suddenly spoke.
“I’m on the hill to your left. My body is being pressed down by something. You can drag me out.”
Su Wan suddenly turned her head and saw a small robot head looking at her not far away. Half of its body was pressed down by a metal bar, so it was not easy to come out.
It was a robot. No wonder the sound was so strange. It was made by electronics…
Su Wan let out a sigh of relief in her heart. Nono spoke Chinese, and Su Wan had not spoken to anyone in Chinese for a long time. She felt a sense of familiarity towards Nono from the bottom of her heart.
“Don’t be afraid. I’ll pull you out now.”
This was a metal junkyard after all. In the future, they would have to put the metal in the incinerator to be smelted. Su Wan did not want a robot that could communicate with her to be sc.r.a.pped just like that.
The recording pen on the ground moved gently, and the sound of Luo Yi and Mama Luo’s argument kept echoing.
Su Wan pursed her lips. She bent down and picked up the recording pen. Just as she pressed the b.u.t.ton to close it, Nono suddenly spoke as if it was frightened.
“Wait, Don’t turn it off! Play the contents of that recording pen again.”
Su Wan’s eyes lit up when she heard that!
It seemed that Nono knew a lot of languages. It could even be her future translator!
Su Wan walked towards Nono with a smile. She blinked and said, “Nono, do you understand the interstellar language?”
Nono looked extremely proud and gave Su Wan a sideways glance. “Of course, I know a lot of languages.”
“I’ll drag you out first and play the recording for you.”
As Su Wan said that, she forcefully dragged Nono outside. Fortunately, Nono was at the top of the hill and there were not many things covering it. Otherwise, Su Wan would not have been able to pull it out with her strength.
Nono was not tall, just right at Su Wan’s waist. Later, Su Wan found out that if Nono had enough energy, she could transform to a height of 1.8 meters.
The creator had originally wanted to give Nono to the son of a n.o.ble, so he designed Nono’s appearance to be round and extremely cute.
Su Wan could not help but reach out her hand and gently stroke Nono’s small head that had a metallic l.u.s.ter.
“You’re so cute. My name is Su Wan.”
Nono was a little shy when she heard that. “Alright, you dragged me out. Can Nono acknowledge you as its master?”
Seeing Su Wan nod, Nono imitated her and shook her head happily.
Suddenly, Nono thought of the recording pen.
“Oh right, master, play the recording pen again. Those people seem to want to harm you…”
