Chapter 233 Reunion with Ferro
This unexpected encounter undoubtedly added a touch of extra sparkle to our already exciting trip to Snow Planet, making it even more unforgettable. At the same time, for Lele, who dreams of becoming an outstanding mecha pilot, being able to come into such close contact with his heroes and masters in their field is undoubtedly another solid step towards realizing his dream.
Finally, it was time to say goodbye. Admiral Ed calmly waved his hand, signaling the soldiers around him to take action. They quickly and orderly led a group of excited children, one after another, into the interior of the tall and mighty mechas.
Meanwhile, the masked, mysterious mecha designer stood quietly nearby. For some reason, from the very beginning, I felt as if his gaze from behind the mask was fixed on me. The feeling of being watched intensified, even creating a sense of déjà vu. If Ferro were still beside me, given his obsession with mechas, he'd surely be able to engage in a free conversation with this mysterious designer, sparking countless brilliant ideas!
Unfortunately, the day after I arrived at Snow Planet, Ferro tendered his resignation. While I'm deeply saddened to lose such a like-minded partner, I understand that everyone has their own path and mission in life. Ferro clearly has more important and pressing matters to attend to besides participating in this filming. Forcing him to stay simply out of personal motives would not only be unfair to him, but could also negatively impact his future. Therefore, as a friend, I sincerely hope for the best for him.
At that moment, Admiral Ed noticed the children's unconcealed enthusiasm for mechas and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. He said, "Since everyone is so enthusiastic about these steel behemoths, today I'll let you experience the thrill and fun of controlling a real mecha for yourself!" Before he had finished speaking, the children erupted in deafening cheers, as if the entire base was overwhelmed by their joy.
Inside the spacious, bright, and high-tech cockpit of the mecha, Lele was like a lively little bunny, her cheeks flushed with excitement, as adorable as a ripe apple. Her large, watery eyes sparkled with excitement, and she kept darting around.
At this moment, I felt a vague gaze constantly fixed on me. This gaze made me feel a little uneasy, and a trace of doubt arose in my heart. Who could be watching me like this? When I followed the direction of the gaze, I found the mysterious mecha designer walking towards me step by step.
As he approached, an invisible sense of oppression came over me. He leaned down slightly and said in a low, magnetic voice, "Have you... forgotten me?"
Hearing this, I was stunned. My mind went blank for a moment, completely unsure how to respond to this sudden question. So, I gathered myself and began to carefully study his eyes. At that moment, a long-forgotten memory flashed through my mind like lightning.
"You...you are Ferro?" I exclaimed in disbelief, my eyes widening. The person before me was the one I was just thinking about—Ferro!
He smiled faintly and gently took off the mask. That once very familiar face appeared before me again. Time didn't seem to have left many traces on his face, but it only added a bit of maturity and stability.
"Yes, it's me. Actually, I came here this time because I participated in a very confidential mecha research and development project. After a long period of hard work and struggle, this project is finally about to be completed, so I have the opportunity to show up and meet you." Ferro explained with a smile.
After hearing what he said, I was shocked and delighted, my mood fluctuating like a roller coaster. When I came to my senses, I couldn't help but raise my fist and gently punch him on the shoulder, scolding him jokingly, "You're such a jerk! It's been so long since we last met, and you're scaring me the moment you show up! How rude of you!"
At this time, Admiral Ed announced that the children's mecha experience was over, and the children got off the mecha reluctantly.
Just as we were about to part, Admiral Ed suddenly raised his hand and gently pointed at the laptop on his wrist. Thanks to years of tacit understanding, I instantly understood his intention—he was sending me a message! So, while no one else was paying attention, I cautiously stole a glance at my laptop screen.
When I saw the message, a warm feeling welled up in my heart. Admiral Ed wrote: Due to strict military regulations, unauthorized personnel are prohibited from entering certain areas. However, considering Lele's long-cherished wish, he led a group of soldiers to patrol this area. In this way, he indirectly helped Lele fulfill her long-cherished dream.
After reading this message, I was filled with gratitude for Admiral Ed's careful arrangements. Just then, Ferro came over curiously, looking puzzled and asking, "Hey, do you and Admiral Ed know each other? What did that gesture he made to you just now mean?"
Hearing Ferro's tone, so different from usual, I was momentarily at a loss for words. Looking at my bewildered expression, Ferro seemed to realize his abruptness and quickly scratched his head, offering a faintly apologetic smile. Just as I was about to open my mouth to explain, Admiral Ed approached with steady steps.
Coming closer, Admiral Ed first patted Ferro on the shoulder with a smile, and then said in an appreciative tone: "You kid, this mission can be successfully completed thanks to you! You did a great job!" Faced with Admiral Ed's generous praise, Ferro seemed a little flattered, and hurriedly nodded respectfully, indicating that he would continue to work hard.
I smiled at Admiral Ed and said sincerely, "Thank you so much for your thoughtful arrangements today. Lele is so happy!" Admiral Ed smiled slightly, waved his hand casually, and replied casually, "This is just a trivial matter. I just hope that more and more children will develop a strong interest and love for mechas."
Then, everyone started to prepare to embark on the journey back. However, at this moment, Ferro suddenly reached out and grabbed my sleeve, and said in a firm tone: "Let me go with you. After all, this project has come to an end for now." I nodded in agreement to his request without hesitation, expressing my warm welcome.
The courtyard was filled with the cheerful laughter and excited chatter of children, all sharing their fresh experiences with the mecha. Lele hugged her exquisite mecha model tightly, her bright, star-like eyes gleaming with joy, as if the whole world was filled with this happiness.
