Chapter 579 - 283: Black-on-Black (Part 1)
After the parent-teacher meeting, Su Jiameng took her two little ones home. Today, Huaixi and Huaifeng had stolen the spotlight and were feeling quite proud and smug. Huaifeng’s brash personality didn’t need explanation; whenever something made him proud, he wished to shout it for the whole universe to hear. Huaixi, evidently very happy this time, had an expression that was bashful yet slightly joyous.
"Xiao Yi, Uncle Xiao Yi, see you tomorrow." With one hand holding Su Jiameng’s, Huaixi bid farewell to Hua Yi and Dongshou Yi walking in the other direction, his voice ringing out with a liveliness that was more fitting for his age, different from his usual restrained tone.
"Xiao Xi, Xiao Feng, and beautiful Aunt, see you tomorrow~~~" Hua Yi seemed to muster all his courage to say this, then quickly hid behind his uncle, timidly poking out his little face to look at Su Jiameng and her sons, flashing a bright smile that revealed a set of pearly white teeth.
Receiving a reply from his friends, Hua Yi’s smile grew even brighter. He turned back, tugged on Dongshou Yi’s hand, and said expectantly, "Uncle, shall we go home too? Mom said she hasn’t seen you in ages and mentioned she’d cook a nice meal yesterday..."
Dongshou Yi, transferred to Qiming Star from elsewhere, had been coming and going in a hurry recently and hadn’t had a proper visit with his sister who was married for a long time. This time, coming for Hua Yi’s parent-teacher meeting was purely by chance. Hearing his nephew’s suggestion, he smiled and nodded, "Alright."
Before leaving, Dongshou Yi looked back at Su Jiameng, who was leaving hand in hand with the two little ones, feeling somewhat puzzled. This woman... she seemed quite ordinary... What exactly did Gu Ningxuan like about her?
Thinking it over, Dongshou Yi couldn’t come up with a reason and then mockingly said to himself, "When did I become such a gossip, concerned about others’ relationships? Human emotions are always hard to grasp; maybe it’s just love at first sight, so why look for so many reasons? As long as Ningxuan himself feels it’s right, who he likes doesn’t matter..."
"Uncle... what did you say?" Sitting in the private hovercar, Hua Yi rolled around excitedly in his uncle’s car.
He knew very well, this car of his uncle’s could transform into a combat mecha at any time! Now sitting in the car was akin to sitting on his uncle’s combat mecha... just thinking about it seemed incredible.
"Nothing... just feeling sentimental..." Dongshou Yi tugged at his lips in a slight smile, the warmth in the faint smile reaching his eyes.
"Oh... it sounded simple, but Xiao Yi still doesn’t understand..." Hua Yi said shyly and a bit embarrassed, afraid his uncle might think he’s not smart, and then said enviously, "If only Xiao Yi and Xiao Feng were as smart."
Dongshou Yi smiled and offered some words of comfort, steadily driving the car towards Hua Yi’s home. Meanwhile, Su Jiameng, sitting with the two little ones on a public hoverbus, was pondering an important matter, "Xiao Xi, do you think Mom should buy a car?"
It seemed that every time she went out or picked up the two little ones from school, she was taking them by hoverbus!
Seeing other kids at school often being picked up by private cars, she felt like she might be dull, and wondered if the kids would feel hurt seeing such a conspicuous difference?
Huaifeng murmured, "But doesn’t Mom have a mecha, why would she need to buy a car... it sounds wasteful..."
Those who have a mecha usually use it for travel; it’s much faster than those private hovercars.
As for why Mom never drives a mecha to school, Huaifeng was certain it was because she didn’t want to be too showy, causing envy for him and his brother.
Huaixi nodded in agreement. He might be young, but he had already heard about the high costs of private hovercars... Even if the little ones didn’t know, given their mom’s worth, calculating her credit points would certainly place her among the wealthy.
"Oh... that makes sense too... and it seems I don’t have a driver’s license..." Su Jiameng belatedly realized this, then quickly dismissed the idea, though a new thought arose in her heart, "Xiao Xi, Xiao Feng, let’s change our training style in the future. If you two can team up to snatch a bell from me, hehe, I’ll get you each a composite mecha!"
The so-called composite mecha is actually a mecha capable of transforming into a hovercar. While its combat power isn’t particularly strong, it can adapt to many complex terrains, serving as a transition between military and civilian mechas, and the cost has never been low.
