144: Repair, simple dinner
Vavinia's eyes curved into crescent moons, her heart filled with sweetness.
Fang Yun stepped closer and whispered in her ear:
"Tonight, I'm going to return all the emotions in my heart to you, guaranteed to fill your heart to the brim."
Although Vavinia felt a little shy, she was more filled with anticipation.
She turned and kissed Fang Yun, then took a step back to create distance, a happy smile on her face:
"Since you say so, I'll have to look forward to it."
At this point, Vavinia paused briefly, raised her water cup, and brought it to Fang Yun's lips:
"Drink some water."
Fang Yun didn't immediately accept it, but remained silent for a second, then pushed the paper cup to Vavinia's lips and said softly:
"You drink first. After you finish, spit a little out. I want to drink what you spit out."
When Vavinia heard Fang Yun's words, her eyes widened involuntarily.
After realizing what he said, she blushed and looked around, and only after finding that no one was paying attention to her and Fang Yun did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Vavinia exhaled softly, somewhat reproachfully saying to Fang Yun:
"You pervert Fang Yun, you actually like drinking my saliva."
Fang Yun watched Vavinia's entire process from surprise to panic to relief, and a thought arose in his heart:
"Vavinia is so cute. Ever since we started dating, she's become cuter and cuter."
Hearing Vavinia call him a pervert, Fang Yun not only didn't feel bad, but felt a little excited instead.
"I admit I'm a pervert, but even so, I still want to drink."
Vavinia didn't speak, lowered her head, and silently drank the water in the paper cup.
When she reached the last bit, she held all the remaining water in her mouth in one breath, and then spit it out.
Vavinia stared at the water she had spit out for a while, finally gritted her teeth, and handed the paper cup back to Fang Yun's lips.
"...Drink."
This time, Fang Yun didn't refuse, took the paper cup, and drank it in one gulp.
After drinking, he smacked his lips and let out a sigh of admiration:
"This water is really watery, and sweet."
Vavinia, who was already very shy, felt even more ashamed after hearing Fang Yun's words.
She snatched the paper cup from Fang Yun's hand, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it forcefully towards the trash can not far away.
The paper ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and finally landed accurately in the trash can.
"Swish, ten points."
Fang Yun nodded, giving a perfect score.
Vavinia, on the other hand, looked at the teasing smile at the corner of his mouth, her cheeks flushing red.
"There will be many similar things tonight, I look forward to your performance." (Communication interface)
"Bully. ...But I like it (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)." (Communication interface)
Because they turned drinking water into a small play, the repair progress was delayed a bit.
Fortunately, Fang Yun shared some of Vavinia's work, so the overall problem was not big.
After the drinking water play ended, Fang Yun and Vavinia threw themselves back into the repair work.
In addition to tents, bed frames, and training equipment, the logistics department warehouse was also piled with many things that needed repairing.
For example, furniture such as tables and chairs, desk lamps, electronic components such as vehicle radio chips and vehicle navigation chips, and other small items.
Major repair work is a family-wide unified activity that takes place every so often, similar activities include major cleaning, major procurement, etc.
Heavy items such as tires and body frames are repaired by Tom (the repair team leader) and the members of his repair team.
Fang Yun, Vavinia, and other "amateurs" mainly acted as conscripted "volunteers" to carry out some repairs of large and small items.
After Fang Yun finished repairing the tents, he ran to Vavinia's side and helped her repair the remaining few gun targets and shooting platforms as well.
"Next is the final work."
Fang Yun looked at the tables, chairs, desk lamps, and some electronic chips in front of him, and let out a breath.
"Yes. These are the only things I have left to repair today."
Vavinia nodded in agreement.
Because she had some research into electronic components, she was assigned some damaged chips.
Other "volunteers", such as Aunt Carter, only had non-electronic items to repair.
"I'll take care of the tables, chairs, and desk lamps, and you'll take care of the electronic chips?"
Fang Yun looked at Vavinia, and seeing that she agreed with his arrangement, he didn't bother with the chips on the repair table, and squatted down to start repairing the damaged tables, chairs, and desk lamps.
After tipping over a chair, Fang Yun carefully inspected it:
"As expected, it's the classic problem, component deterioration and wear. It seems that even in 2077, there are no materials that never wear out."
"Highly materialized block items will lose their 'never-wear-out' property, while low-materialized block items will still possess properties such as 'never-wear-out' and 'never-destroy'."
"It seems that in the future when materializing block items, I need to pay attention to choosing the degree of materialization based on the situation."
Fang Yun's thoughts drifted a little, and then he quickly pulled them back.
"Replace a component, reinforce it."
"..."
"Solved."
"Next one."
Time slowly passed as Fang Yun diligently made repairs.
"Phew~, the last one."
"The desk lamp shade is a bit deformed, the switch is broken, and a section of the wire is burned."
"Simple. Pry it with pliers, replace with a second-hand switch, replace the wire. OK."
"Done!"
Fang Yun stood up, dusted off his hands, and looked at the repaired desk lamp with satisfaction.
He plugged in the wire, turned on the switch, and the light that came back on shone through the repaired lampshade onto the ground, soft and warm.
At the same time, Vavinia also completed the repair of the last electronic chip.
She put down the tools in her hands and raised her arms upwards.
"Hmm~"
After finishing work, stretching out with a big yawn always feels very comfortable.
After stretching, Vavinia stood up from the chair in front of the repair table.
Fang Yun had already walked to her side, and seeing her turn to look at him, he smiled slightly:
"It seems we finished our work at the same time, with telepathic understanding."
Hearing this, Vavinia showed a sweet smile.
She took two steps towards Fang Yun, threw herself into his arms, and rested her head against his chest.
"Fang Yun, I'm so tired, tired and hungry. Shall we go have dinner?"
Fang Yun stroked Vavinia's beautiful hair and replied gently:
"Of course, my darling."
"What do you want to eat tonight?"
Vavinia looked up, her eyes sparkling:
"I want to eat barbecue, that kind of fragrant barbecue, and fresh vegetable salad, paired with a glass of iced fruit juice."
"Don't you want some wine?"
Vavinia shook her head:
"If I drink, I might not be able to control myself tonight. Let's wait until my self-control is stronger before drinking."
Fang Yun's mouth curved up, deliberately dragging out his tone:
"Oh~ I~ see~."
Vavinia's pretty face turned red, and she buried her head in Fang Yun's chest, saying softly:
"Hmph."
Her voice was very low, but fortunately, Fang Yun's hearing was excellent.
"Then we'll go eat barbecue tonight. Let's go, First Dining Hall."
...
As night deepened, the camp lights gradually lit up, adding a warmth to the night.
Vavinia leaned on Fang Yun's shoulder, saying softly:
"Today was really a long day, buying supplies and repairing things."
"It's good that you're here."
"As long as you are by my side, I have the strength of a hundred people."
Fang Yun held her hand, responding with a doting and firm tone:
"In the days to come, I will always be with you, forever."
Vavinia turned her head to look at Fang Yun, her eyes full of joy and happiness:
"Mm, I believe you."
The two leaned closer and closer, and the shadows behind them slowly merged together.
