Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 109: There is only one seat, where does she sit?
Gu Jue led Su Wan to the mecha room in the basement.
During his studies, Gu Jue majored in both subjects related to mechas, and after graduation, he joined the military where he has been maintaining his own mecha ever since.
Although named Azure Dragon, its exterior was silver-white, complete with a pair of wings.
The spacious training room seemed almost small because of the immense size of the Azure Dragon.
The gigantic mecha kneeled on one knee, resembling the posture of a marriage proposal.
Su Wan approached the Azure Dragon and reached out to touch the laser cannon on its arm when a magnetic voice began to resonate softly.
"Madam, hello."
Su Wan swiftly retracted her hand.
She said, astonished, "You have intelligence too?"
The colossal Azure Dragon performed a gentleman’s bow.
Gu Jue spoke, "The Azure Dragon was developed by the Federal Empire, the first mecha integrated with artificial intelligence, though this type of mecha demands a lot from its pilot."
Su Wan: "That’s amazing! So, during combat, the mecha and the pilot will be partners."
Fighting side by side with a partner is actually a fantastic feeling!
A shallow curve slowly formed on the corners of Gu Jue’s mouth.
His seemingly delicate little wife might appear fragile, but she possessed a strong soul and heart.
And she understood him well.
Gu Jue reached out his hand to Su Wan, "Come, I’ll take you up."
Su Wan took his hand, "Okay!"
The control center for the mecha was located in the middle part, where the intricate instruments dazzled Su Wan.
Just then, a robotic arm extended towards her offering a cup of coffee.
Su Wan: "Thank you, White Tiger."
Azure Dragon: "Madam, it was me."
Su Wan realized that since the mecha had intelligence, the entire interior must naturally be under Azure Dragon’s control.
Of course, as the owner of the mecha, Gu Jue’s commands are the highest authority.
Su Wan quickly said, "Thank you, Azure Dragon. I thought it was White Tiger. It seems that White Tiger can rest now when I’m here."
The voice of White Tiger, distant and faint, "Madam, I am actually still here."
As long as the master does not force it to shut down, it will always remain active.
Su Wan couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the thought—when the artificial intelligence gets too smart, they could start to fight.
Luckily, Xiaobai is adorably foolish.
Xiaobai: "..."
It was then that Gu Jue’s cool voice slowly filled the space, "Wanwan, come and sit."
Su Wan looked up and felt somewhat perplexed.
This was a single-pilot mecha, with only one control seat, but Gu Jue was already seated in it.
So the question was, where could she sit?
Could it be that she was supposed to sit on Gu Jue’s lap...?
At that moment, while the two masters were stuck in their standoff, the two artificial intelligences were chatting away.
Azure Dragon: I’m not gossiping, but when the master came to modify the mecha this afternoon, the original seat was quite big and could fit two people, but he made it smaller.
White Tiger: You foolish dragon, this is a great opportunity for the couple to grow closer!
White Tiger: Seeing the master become wiser and act like a real man makes me particularly gratified.
Azure Dragon: I’m going to forward what you said to the master.
White Tiger: @#￥#4#3@543%#￥%￥
Seeing that his little wife still hadn’t moved, Gu Jue’s eyebrows rose slightly, "What’s the matter?"
Su Wan: "Should I sit on you?"
Gu Jue: "Yes, this is a single-pilot mecha, there are no other seats."
Su Wan: "..."
Looking at the Commander’s straightforward manner, Su Wan recalled times when she might have overthought things in the past.
Could it be that she was overthinking again?
Su Wan was never one to dwell on things; deciding not to overthink this time, she stepped forward and walked over.
Then she sat in the arms of the great Commander Gu Jue.
Gu Jue’s long arm stretched over, guiding her on how to operate the buttons on the control panel.
He embraced Su Wan completely into his arms.
"These are for controlling limb movement, those are for controlling weapons, oh, we better not test the weapon buttons at home," he said.
Sitting in his embrace, breathing in his frosty scent, Su Wan felt a bit tense.
Upon hearing his words, she suddenly smiled.
Su Wan, "That’s true, if we destroy the house, we’d end up homeless."
Gu Jue, "That won’t happen."
"Hmm?"
"I have many other houses."
"..."
Fortunately, from the moment she transferred money before, Su Wan had been educated by the sheer number of zeros that she came across.
Now, hearing Gu Jue say he had many houses, she considered it normal.
And then Gu Jue added, "And a few planets."
Su Wan, "..."
How careless she had been!
She even wondered just how much Commander Gu Jue was worth?
Fortunately, at this moment, Gu Jue began talking about controlling the Mecha.
"Wanwan, I’ve seen the video of you and that female classmate piloting a simulated Mecha in a PK on the Starship. Your operational awareness is very good, you can try out the Azure Dragon now," he said.
As Gu Jue spoke, his warm breath brushed Su Wan’s ear.
It tickled.
Being held by him, his embrace was very warm, but also tinged with that habitual frosty aura he bore.
Instantly, the sensation became a tangle of ice and fire.
Su Wan instinctively shrank her neck, "How did you see that video?"
Gu Jue decisively said, "Mu Lei gave it to me."
Su Wan didn’t think much of it, guessing Director Mu probably wanted to persuade her to switch her major, which is why he showed the video to Gu Jue.
She focused all her attention on how to pilot the Mecha.
Seeing that she didn’t pursue the matter further, Gu Jue breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Su Wan’s experience with gaming on Ancient Earth was nothing to scoff at.
After quickly getting familiar with each button’s function, it only took her about fifteen minutes to skillfully perform some simple actions with the Azure Dragon.
A hint of admiration flashed in Gu Jue’s eyes.
The Azure Dragon, as the strongest Mecha of the Federal Empire, was actually quite complicated to control.
Yet his little wife managed to get the hang of the basic controls in just a short period.
Pride filled Gu Jue’s heart.
His Wanwan was actually an incredibly excellent person!
Su Wan, through operating the Azure Dragon, also felt that piloting a Mecha was quite interesting.
Moving to the military academy, she could learn more, and in addition, pilot Mechas and gradually strengthen herself.
Su Wan was moved.
But before that, she still needed to make sure whether she could pass the spiritual power test.
When the two left the Mecha Room, Gu Jue said, "When are you free next week? I can schedule your spiritual power test."
Su Wan promptly said, "I have no classes on Wednesday and Friday afternoons next week, so I can do the test then."
"Alright, I’ll pick you up and bring you home for the test then."
Su Wan thought Gu Jue was really considerate.
Knowing she was a bit nervous, he chose to do the test at home.
This man, the longer she spent with him, the more she felt his kindness.
It was like discovering a treasure planet.
Because Gu Jue had done so much for her, Su Wan decided to take initiative and cook some dishes for dinner to treat the grand Commander.
And just at that moment, Gu Jue suddenly said, "Wanwan, open your light brain and take a look."
