Chapter 1284: Don’t Need That Thing

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lu Zhou had never allowed anyone other than his family to stay overnight in his own home. He had been told by his friends that living in such a large house alone was a waste.

But this time, he broke his rule.

Well, not really “broke”.

After all…

He was a responsible man.

The next morning.

The winter sunrise was late as usual. The entire Purple Mountain was still immersed in heavy fog. It was dark except for the street lights.

Lu Zhou slowly opened his eyes and got up from the bed. He then looked to the side.

Her thin lips and the delicate nose moved gently with the rhythm of her breathing. Her sleeping face was peaceful and warm, like a cat dreaming of a mountain of fish. He didn’t want to wake her up.

He couldn’t help but watch for another five minutes. He then got out of bed gently and went to the bathroom. After his bathroom routine, he threw a towel on his shoulders and went out for a jog.

When he came back, he was about to call Wang Peng to bring two breakfasts when he saw Chen Yushan wearing an apron and carrying two plates of freshly cooked fried rice. She walked out of the kitchen with thick cotton slippers on her feet.

“I was thinking about where you went, turns out you went running.”

Chen Yushan looked at Lu Zhou’s wet hair. She put down the plate, walked forward, and wiped his hair gently with a towel. She then spoke.

“Hurry up and take a shower. It’s humid outside and the wind is blowing, you’ll catch a cold.”

“I’m in good health, it’s okay…” Lu Zhou held her tiny hand and looked at her as he said, “I didn’t expect you to wake up this early.”

“I always get up early. Besides, I slept an extra half an hour today… Anyway, aren’t you the same?”

“I’m used to it too.”

“Speaking of which, you don’t have any kitchen utensils in your house. I searched for ages before I found the whisk.”

“I’m usually alone, so I rarely cook. I either eat in the cafeteria of Jin Ling University, at the research institute, or I ask Wang Peng to bring me food… At most, the household robot will cook for me.”

Chen Yushan asked curiously, “The household robot can cook?”

Lu Zhou: “Uh, in theory, as long as it is smart enough, anything can be done.”

Chen Yushan teased and said, “So it feels like your life is very organized. You don’t need a girlfriend at all.”

“No way!” Lu Zhou immediately said, “How about… you live here from now on?”

“No, thanks.”

“Why?”

Chen Yushan’s cheeks blushed slightly. She couldn’t help but pinch his waist.

“You… We should take it easy. Besides, I haven’t married you yet, and to live together so early… It feels weird, and…”

“And?”

“And… and I heard…” Her cheeks were getting hotter and hotter. She looked away embarrassedly and whispered, “Living together before marrying… After marrying, there is no honeymoon… Ahh! What am I talking about?!”

Lu Zhou felt like Chen Yushan’s brain was cooked; there was almost steam coming out of her.

Chen Yushan angrily threw the towel on Lu Zhou’s face. She buried her head in her arms and pushed Lu Zhou’s shoulders. She pushed him all the way to the bathroom.

“Quickly, go take a shower! Shower then eat! Hurry, I have to go to work after!”

Even though Lu Zhou didn’t realize what was happening, he knew that she was flustered.

Sh*t…

She looks pretty cute when she’s panicking.

…

It was a new day.

After eating breakfast, Chen Yushan tidied up her appearance and quickly got in the silver car that was parked at the door yesterday. She went to work at the office.

Perhaps it was easier to find a sense of accomplishment by running a company than doing scientific research.

Lu Zhou always felt like Chen Yushan was more punctual about work than himself, and she often counted down to the second.

“It seems like I’ve been slacking recently…

“I have to work hard too.”

Lu Zhou was at the sink. He splashed his face with some water.

Just when he was about to change his clothes and go out, a drone carrying a small screen flew over.

[Master~ ? ]

Lu Zhou paused for a second and thought something was wrong, so he asked quickly.

“What’s wrong?”

[There were only two people in the house, Master and Xiao Ai… But now, there is a strange woman. Xiao Ai’s kitchen was taken away. This is ridiculous. ε(┬┬_┬┬)3]

“…”

Lu Zhou put his clothes on his body silently. He then replied casually, “It means that your master has grown up.”

[But… But… Master won’t abandon Xiao Ai, right? ? ]

Lu Zhou: “…?”

Is there a logical connection between the two?

Who says you can’t have a pet if you get a wife?

Lu Zhou got into the car that Wang Peng had parked at the door. He still didn’t understand what Xiao Ai was talking about…

…

The station of the orbital Airborne Brigade was very close to the Jinling launch site as both were located on the edge of the high-tech zone.

As the backbone of China’s aerospace forces, as well as the new strategic deterrent in the early space age, Lu Zhou felt a cold murderous atmosphere the moment he entered the station.

Li Gaoliang stood at the door to greet Lu Zhou. He looked at the dark circles under Lu Zhou’s eyelids and spoke with a smile.

“Yo, Academician Lu, it’s been a long time since I last saw you. You look kind of tired?”

“I didn’t sleep well last night…”

While he was talking, Lu Zhou couldn’t help but yawn.

He put down his hand covering his mouth. He suddenly saw that Li Gaoliang was looking at him with a weird smile. He froze and hesitated for a moment before asking, “Why are you looking at me that way?”

“No reason, we’re all men here, I understand.” Li Gaoliang laughed and patted Lu Zhou on the shoulder. He smirked and said, “I think you should take care of your body when you are young, don’t go too hard!”

Lu Zhou: “…?”

“Enough chatting. I said I want to show you how we fought in the war. Come with me. It’s almost starting…” Li Gaoliang looked at Wang Peng, who was following Lu Zhou, and asked with a smile, “Brother Wang, are you coming together or waiting outside?”

Wang Peng: “I’ll wait outside.”

“True, so you don’t have to write a report when you go back.” Li Gaoliang smiled and patted Lu Zhou on the shoulder. He said, “Let’s go inside.”

Lu Zhou followed Li Gaoliang and couldn’t help but yawn again. He asked casually without any energy, “Is the Airborne Brigade team flying?”

“Flying? That’s overkill. We’re just testing a new weapon… But to be honest, the guys want to fly, but there’s no opportunity.”

Lu Zhou was curious, so he asked, “What is it then?”

Li Gaoliang smirked at Lu Zhou mysteriously. He then pointed his right finger at the command room next to him.

“You’ll see.”
