Xie Heng grinned from ear to ear.
“The design of these robots is intricate!” he exclaimed. “It would be great if the Wei Dynasty could produce such robots too.”
“That would be a tall order.” Zhao Chuchu explained. “Even with a blueprint, the craftsmen here cannot produce a robot. There’s too much technology involved. Rome was not built in one day.”
“I understand. I was just thinking out loud,” Xie Heng replied while returning the robots to Zhao Chuchu. “Thank you.”
“Are you done examining them?”
“I have more or less figured out how to assemble them. But, as you said, many materials are beyond my comprehension. No matter how much I study them, I cannot replicate them.”
“I’m a layman when it comes to robots. I only know how to use them. I know nothing about how they work, so I can’t help you.”
“It’s fine. I learned something too. Even though I can’t produce an exact replica, I can try making a robot that is less smart. I’ll give it a try later.”
Zhao Chuchu raised her brows doubtfully and asked, “You know how to build a robot just by taking this one apart?”
Xie Heng said, “Of course, it will pale in comparison. However, for us, if we can successfully replicate one, it will still be miraculous. For now, I cannot be certain that I will succeed. I will know once I give it a try.”
When Xie Heng took apart the robot, he had a rough idea of how it worked.
There was no harm in trying to replicate it. He would figure out what to do if he failed.
“It is almost dawn. Why don’t you sleep for a while? Didn’t you say that you wanted to go into town to buy some things?” Zhao Chuchu looked at the sky outside as she placed the robot back into her carry-on space
Xie Heng shook his head and said, “There is no need for sleep. I am fine. I will just rest for a while. What do you want for breakfast? I’ll make it now.”
Seeing that his energy level seemed good, Zhao Chuchu did not say anymore. She ordered some bone porridge.
Xie Heng tidied up and then went to prepare breakfast.
Zhao Chuchu lay back in bed and thought about the matter of the parents of this original body of hers.
For now, they did not have any proof. Zhao Chuchu could not be certain as to who poisoned them. The major suspects were Old Man Zhao and Zhao Baotian.
Although Zhao Baogen was not a good person, he only sought riches. He had relatively little reason to kill Zhao Baolin.
After all, when Zhao Baolin was alive, the former had a much more relaxing life. Zhao Baolin and his wife were also better at earning money than him and Zhao Baotian.
Old Man Zhao was a stingy person through and through. Atter Zhao Baolin and his wife fell ill and he felt that there was no hope in saving them, he was highly likely to have killed them to save money.
As for Zhao Baotian, his presence in the Zhao clan seemed insignificant, but his heart was dark.
He did not stand out in the Zhao clan, but he had fanned the flames of discord many times.
In the memories of the original owner of this body, Zhao Baogen had been used by Zhao Baotian many times. Unfortunately, Zhao Baogen did not realize this.
The original owner of her body had a very blurry impression of her parents.
However, the villagers of Lengshui Village kept saying that the original owner and her mother looked alike.
Zhao Chuchu planned to use this detail to scare the members of the Zhao clan.
Before that, she still needed to make some preparations.
It was almost daybreak.
Xie Heng had also finished preparing the bone porridge.
Xie Jun got out of bed at the smell of the porridge.
“Bro, what delicacy have you made this morning? It is so fragrant.”
Xie Jun had yet to get dressed as he came running into the kitchen while kicking his shoes. He peered into the pot.
Xie Heng glanced at him and said, “Look at how you are dressed. Is this presentable? Go, wash up, and get dressed before you come back. If this happens again, you won’t need breakfast anymore.”
Xie Heng could allow Xie Jun a childhood, but he would definitely not allow the future emperor to disregard his image to such an extent.
As the leader of the country, he represented the entire Wei Dynasty!
Xie Jun softly said, “Isn’t what I am wearing now, alright?”
“Oh.”
Xie Jun could only return to his room and change before coming back out.
He washed up as fast as possible.
Xie Heng had already set a large bowl of bone porridge to cool down for him.
“Thank vou. Bro.”
‘Eat,” said Xie Heng as he patted Xie Jun’s head.
He then went to call Zhao Chuchu.
Zhao Chuchu already knew that the bone porridge was ready. However, she was still lazing around in bed.
When she saw Xie Heng enter the room, she extended her arms and said, “I have fallen. Only hugs and kisses can get me up.”
Xie Heng was stunned momentarily. Once he managed to react, he instantly revealed a smile.
He walked over towards her with large strides. He then bent over and placed his hands on the bed on both sides of her head. His gaze locked onto Zhao Chuchu as he said, “Do you mean kisses like this?”
Zhao Chuchu was just joking with Xie Heng. The soft sensation on her lips made her realize that he was being serious.
The gentle kiss lingered on Zhao Chuchu. Her thoughts instantly became chaotic.
Xie Heng only pulled himself away once their breathing became erratic. He forcefully shackled his urge to continue kissing.
“Like that?” asked Xie Heng, his voice hoarse. Zhao Chuchu could see herself in
Xie Heng’s eyes.
She blushed, and her heartbeat raced.
“Am I doing it wrong?
Xie Heng narrowed his eyes, seemingly very interested to continue learning about kissing.
Zhao Chuchu nodded and said, “You’re doing it right.”
She supposed she was the only idiot in the world who started a tease but ended up being teased.
Xie Heng smiled and lifted Zhao Chuchu up with a darling carry. “Alright.”
Zhao Chuchu was caught off guard, and she put her arms around Xie Heng’s neck without thinking. Because of that, she leaned against him very closely. She felt her face become redder as she listened to his heartbeat.
If another person had hugged her, she would most likely have broken the person’s neck in rage by now.
However, she was always demure when faced with Xie Heng. Even she was unaware of her switch of attitude when interacting with him.
“Shall I wake you up in the future with this method?” Xie Heng liked it when Zhao Chuchu acted coy in front of him. Even more than that, he enjoyed hugging and kissing her.
Zhao Chuchu wanted the ground to open up and swallow her whole.
“No need. I can wake up on my own.” As she said this, she struggled to leave
Xie Heng’s embrace.
However, Xie Heng hugged her tightly. She was afraid that she would accidentally hurt him if she struggled too hard, so she could only resist her urge to do so.
“Da Lang, I really can walk on my own. What if Junjun sees us? We will be bad examples to him.”
“Junjun is eager to be an uncle. He will ignore us if he sees us. Don’t you worry. He is very smart.”
Zhao Chuchu could not think of a comeback to retort his twisted logic. She didn’t expect Xie Heng to say such shameless statements.
In the end, Xie Heng actually carried Zhao Chuchu out of the bedroom.
When Xie Jun saw them, he immediately lowered his head. He almost buried his head into his bowl as he chomped down on the bone porridge as fast as he could. Then, he left the house while skipping joyfully.
“Bro, Sis, I’m hanging out with my friends. I will only be back by noon.” Before Xie Jun dashed out, he even caringly told them that he wouldn’t be back for the entire morning, so they had the whole house to themselves.
Zhao Chuc.hu complained, “Look at you! Junjun has been led astray by your bad influence. ”
Xie Heng laughed and said, “He was a smart kid, to begin with. Do you think that you can hide our relationship from him?”
“We’re adults. We should set good examples for him.”
“Technically, we’re also still kids now. Kids should behave like kids.” “Da Lang, I discovered that you are actually quite shameless at times.
