Reborn as the Darling of the Delta

Page 39

"Hmph! You little rascal, taking advantage of your sister while she's sleeping, huh? Are you challenging me? Fine, I accept!"

Mai Xiaowen flipped over and pinned Zhang Hao down. Suddenly, the image of Zoya kissing Zhang Hao's lips flashed through her mind, and Mai Xiaowen's gaze involuntarily fell on Zhang Hao's mouth.

Hmm, it's small and pink, it must taste really good.

Zhang Hao, who was pinned down, also noticed Mai Xiaowen's unusual behavior. Why were Xiaowen's eyes staring at my mouth? Could it be that...?

But before Zhang Hao could say anything, Mai Xiaowen followed suit and covered his mouth with her own. The room became very quiet, with only occasional "mmm~mmm~mmm~" sounds.

Since it was Mai Xiaowen's first time kissing, she mechanically leaned against Zhang Hao's lips and didn't know what to do next. Zhang Hao, on the other hand, felt all the blood rushing to his head, and his heart was pounding like an engine.

About half a minute later, Mai Xiaowen released Zhang Hao, who was about to faint. Mai Xiaowen licked her lips. Hmm, just like in the novel, it was sweet.

Zhang Hao, on the other hand, lay on the bed with tears in his eyes and his body limp. His face was flushed, and his lips, which gleamed alluringly from Mai Xiaowen's perspective, were panting heavily.

"Xiaowen... hehe, what are you doing?"

Zhang Hao glared at Mai Xiaowen with annoyance. Why were they all so eager to force themselves on her? Oh, how embarrassing!

"Oh, Xiao Hao, I can't help it, you're just too charming, hehe."

Mai Xiaowen chuckled, touching her mouth. Although she was a step slower than Zoya, she was faster than Luna. Hehe, it seems Xiao Hao Hao doesn't mind this either, which means...

"Xiaowen, stop laughing, it's so creepy!"

Zhang Hao, seeing Mai Xiaowen staring at him with a perverted grin, couldn't help but offer a reminder.

"Pah, pah, pah, can't you speak properly? What do you mean by 'like a lovesick woman'? I'm just showing my affection for you, so go hide under the covers and enjoy it. You should cherish a young, beautiful, and gorgeous sister like me. Alright, alright, come and see the results of my revisions."

Mai Xiaowen rolled her eyes at Zhang Hao. This blind brat, never mind that for now, it's more important to show him my results first.

Zhang Hao gradually calmed down, rolled off the bed, realizing it was too dangerous there and that he would have to lock the door every night from now on.

Mai Xiaowen/Zoya/Luna: No! Xiaohao, you can't do this!

Sitting down at the computer, Zhang Hao started reviewing the documents again. He was amazed to see that Mai Xiaowen had completely replaced the materials and added some features that were more suitable for her. He nodded in praise repeatedly.

"666, Xiaowen, you're amazing! No wonder you're a science whiz! By the way, will this plane really be the same size as before after you design it this way? Won't the explosion damage be reduced?"

Upon hearing this, Mai Xiaowen smiled mysteriously.

"Hmph, Hao, you've shown your true colors. When I was teaching you before, I mentioned that your original design for this bomb-shaped airplane used TNT explosives, which would detonate through a fuse inside the plane. But I also told you in my last lecture that the explosives inside the loitering munitions used by Uluru are solid explosives. For the same volume, solid explosives are much more powerful than your TNT."

After listening, Zhang Hao touched his nose and smiled awkwardly. He figured these things would just go in one ear and out the other, and he wouldn't take anything from class to heart. In fact, this way, the size of the bombers and small planes could be effectively controlled, so that more could be brought on each mission.

"I think there are no problems, Xiaowen. Let's take it to Uluru tomorrow and talk to him. It's basically finished. He's an expert at building small airplanes!"

After reviewing the drawings, Zhang Hao couldn't find any faults. Mai Xiaowen also packed up the printed blueprints and planned to go to Uluru the next day to ask him to help build it, so she could learn from him.

"Ah~, I'm hungry. Let's go, Xiaowen, dinner will be served soon. Let's go to the living room and wait for a while."

Zhang Hao rubbed his stomach, wondering why his appetite had been getting better and better lately. He was eating almost as much as Wei Long every time. Shen Lan was always very proud to see Zhang Hao wolfing down his food, saying that it must be because his cooking skills had improved.

When Zhang Hao and Mai Xiaowen arrived at the living room downstairs, they saw Roy, Weilong, and Red Wolf playing cards together. Apart from Shenlan, who was cooking in the kitchen, the others were also watching from the side. Behind Roy stood Zoya and Uluru, who were staring intently at Roy's hands.

"Um... what are you guys doing? How come you didn't invite me to play cards?"

Zhang Hao stepped forward in confusion and asked, "Why didn't you invite me to play cards? I'm the 'Gambling Saint' of the Special Operations Department, after all!"

"Hey, Xiao Hao, don't join in the fun. Those guys have started betting on their own supplies. You're too young to gamble."

Luna pulled Zhang Hao aside to watch the game and explained to him that Roy was worried about his shoes being too old and he was about to retire, but he had donated all the shoes he received to people in need. So he had no choice but to look at Weilong and Red Wolf, whose shoe sizes were the same as his.

Roy then suggested playing five rounds of Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game), taking turns being the dealer. Each win would count as one point, and the player with the most points would get to take a shoe from each of the two losers.

Wei Long and Red Wolf knew Roy's situation all too well. They had been wearing the same pair of military boots ever since they met. On sunny days, they would sit outside humming tunes and brush their shoes. They had been with Roy through thick and thin for a long time. Whenever they received new clothes or shoes, Roy would refuse them and donate them directly to people in need.

When asked, he said he already had clothes and shoes, and could give them to others. Red Wolf and Dragon were also not short of shoes (Red Wolf made them a little faster), so they agreed, which led to the current scene.

"Hehehe, I admire your courage, but your failure is also inevitable."

"The big villain," Roy chuckled.

"Hmph, I'm not Xiao Hao, come and fight!"

Zhang Hao: I feel like I'm being subtly insulted, waaaaah, bullying a kid. ╥﹏╥...

Chapter 85 Blueprint 1

After five intense battles, Roy laughed heartily and gestured to the two men, saying, "Are you kidding me? If they dare to come, they're just asking for trouble. So what if there are two people behind them? Faced with absolute strength, their resistance seems utterly ridiculous."

"Hahahaha, quick, get me my shoes. Just kidding, I didn't expect you guys to actually accept the challenge. Hehehe, now you know how much I usually let you guys win."

Seeing Roy still acting all cocky, Red Wolf and Dragon, who had been indifferent before, suddenly felt their fists harden.

Weilong/Red Wolf: Damn it, I really want to punch him. How can someone be so despicable? He's not like this even when he's doing good deeds. What does his wife see in him?

"Hmph, take it, take it. Get your old shoes retired already. You've really made them suffer by wearing them out every day."

Roy grinned as he picked up the new shoes and touched them.

"Hey, what do you know? When I go to the dam next time, I'll see if there's anyone in Said who can repair shoes. If I fix them, they'll still be wearable. If not, I'll just go back to my hometown to get them repaired when I have a break. Old Jack, the shoe repairman downstairs from my house, is really good at it. He can even make old shoes look new."

Roy boasted to the group about how amazing the shoe repairman downstairs was, and everyone listened with great interest. It wasn't until Shenlan had brought all the dishes to the table that they were finally called over.

Deep Blue: If they don't come soon, we'll have to call Xiaowen and Xiaohao one by one. Now we even have to call them for meals.

During the meal, Mai Xiaowen and Uluru also discussed looking at the blueprints in the morning. After everyone finished eating, they chatted for a while and then prepared to go back to rest.

Because if nothing unexpected happens, the three women will definitely start fighting over who gets to live with Xiao Hao again.

The main reason is that Zhang Hao's sleep aid effect is too amazing (of course, this is just an excuse for a few women). Before, Luo Yi even recklessly joined in and said, "I also want to try holding Xiao Hao to sleep to see if it really helps me sleep."

The three girls, who had been arguing fiercely, stopped, turned to look at Roy, exchanged glances, and then smiled...

Roy: Oh no! Don't hit my face! I have to meet someone tomorrow! Oh no! You kicked my waist! Ouch! No, no, I don't want it anymore! Okay? I'm leaving! I'm leaving right now!

Upon seeing this, the dragon that had been poised to pounce on the dragon quietly retreated. Although Xiao Hao was a good person, survival was the priority. They were grateful to Roy for scouting the area.

Roy: I may not be human, but you guys are real dogs. ╥﹏╥...

As expected, Zhang Hao rejected the three of them tonight. Just kidding, the memory of being tricked by Mai Xiaowen that afternoon still makes Zhang Hao blush with embarrassment. As a virgin in two lifetimes, he still harbors an unknown fear of this unfamiliar aspect.

And so, the next day arrived.

. . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . .

In Uluru's laboratory, Mai Xiaowen and Uluru had already begun discussing the blueprints, while Zhang Hao, who was yawning incessantly, sat next to them.

Zhang Hao sat wearily to the side and sighed. Last night, every time he closed his eyes after getting into bed, he would think of the scene of being forcibly kissed by Mai Xiaowen in the afternoon, which made him fall asleep very late.

But before 7 a.m. this morning, my bedroom door was kicked open by the passionate Mai Xiaowen.

"Xiao Hao! Wake up! Even if you don't have class now, you can't sleep in, okay? Come on, come on, let's go find Uluru together!"

Zhang Hao: ...I won't say who this person is who sleeps until 9 o'clock every day when they don't have any tasks and is still lying in bed like a pig, because I might get beaten up if I do.

So Mai Xiaowen pulled Zhang Hao out of bed, and after a quick wash, she dragged him down to eat breakfast. While she was doing all this, Zhang Hao's soul was still lying in bed, which is why he is now sitting blankly in his seat waiting for his soul to slowly drift over.

Uluru waited until the two finished eating before running over and knocking on his door. When Mai Xiaowen entered, she found Uluru secretly preparing his special breakfast, "morning wine." Unfortunately, Mai Xiaowen managed to stop him. Despite Uluru's repeated assurances that drinking a couple of sips wouldn't affect what was to come, he watched in despair as Mai Xiaowen took the wine to the bathroom to dispose of it.

"Waaaaah, Xiao Hao, this is what your sister did. There's an old Chinese saying, 'A brother pays for his sister's debts.' Next time, I want to drink the big one."

Zhang Hao: ...Didn't you make demands now?

"Oh! This blueprint... Xiaowen, tell Uncle the truth, did you really create this?"

Uluru initially thought it was something Mai Xiaowen used for practice, but after taking a closer look, all Uluru could say was "Awesome!" This design would still be considered a very powerful tactical device even today.

"Here, this is the original manuscript given to me by the person who was sleeping there. I've made some minor revisions. Do you want to see the original? It's in my quantum storage."

Mai Xiaowen first pointed to Zhang Hao, who had fallen into a coma against the wall after failing to receive the soul, and then, with a shocked and incredulous look in her eyes, pulled out the original blueprint that had been copied in earlier.

"He...he...he did it?"

Before Uluru could say anything more, Mai Xiaowen, just like Zhang Hao, interrupted him.

"I know you have a lot of questions, but I can't answer them either. Don't say anything more, just look at the blueprints first."

Uluru's words were stuck in her throat. After glancing at Zhang Hao a couple more times, her face turned almost red. She then closed her eyes and began to organize her thoughts on the spot.

After nearly five minutes, Uluru opened its eyes and sighed wearily.

"Why did Xiao Hao ask me to research burning arrows for him before? Oh well, I'll take a look first."

Uluru then plugged the quantum storage into the computer and began reading the original manuscript.

"Hmm, your modification plan is good, and you've improved a lot of things. It's great, Xiaowen. However, the metal strength of this wing is probably not enough. You directly replaced the material with this to reduce the weight of the aircraft. It's fine for low-altitude flight, but if the wind speed is too high or you fly at a high altitude, there's a 40% chance that your aircraft will be blown off course."

After reviewing the two sets of drawings, Uluru and Mai Xiaowen engaged in another heated discussion.

Zhang Hao (spirit): Where is he? Why can't I find him? At least come out and meet me!

Chapter 86 Blueprint 2

"Look, you can adjust the wing angle here, but there's a problem after you made the change..."

"I think I could make a whole smoke-emitting drone..."

After Zhang Hao finally managed to reunite with his soul, he slowly woke up, mainly because the noise around him woke him up.

Rubbing his eyes, Zhang Hao first activated his brain's pre-boot check program—commonly known as spacing out.

After turning it on, she quietly moved behind the two people who were talking and looked ahead. With years of experience as a "professional pilot" in Uluru, Mai Xiaowen's plane had been improved again. The overall streamlined shape was more perfect, and the power unit had also been upgraded.

"Hey? Xiao Hao, you're awake? Come and see, Uluru and I are almost done with the revisions."

Mai Xiaowen looked back at Zhang Hao and found that he had woken up. She pulled him over to watch the final, revised version together.

Zhang Hao admitted he didn't know anything about it; he had to get this from 9527, and if he were asked to look at it, all he could do was babble. (。?ω?。)

"You've been hiding this well, Xiao Hao. Come and see, isn't your Uncle Uluru incredibly professional? Hehehe."

Uluru confidently showed Zhang Hao the parts he had modified. He was joking, saying that he had been obsessed with shooting down planes for many years and his shooting skills were so good that he could not only blow up planes, but also tanks.

Looking at the densely packed blueprints, Zhang Hao's mind went blank for a moment. He had just wanted to praise them like his elementary school teacher used to do, but after clearing his mental cache, he simply opened his mouth and said:

"Hmm, not bad, very good, excellent, I think it's good."

9527: In this comment, are you a human bot and I am a human bot?

Mai Xiaowen and Wu Lulu didn't care about any of that. All they heard was that the genius who wrote the first draft had affirmed their revisions. Didn't that mean they were right to do it this way?

Seeing the two of them getting excited again, Zhang Hao slowly moved towards the door. He figured he was out of there; he couldn't understand anything here anyway, so he might as well go play games in Xiaowen's room.

After using the silent walking technique taught by Mai Xiaowen to slip out, Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief. The environment inside was indeed not suitable for him; it was much more comfortable to be outside.

At this moment, Zhang Hao saw Roy, who was wearing new shoes and had a beaming smile on his face. Roy waved and greeted Zhang Hao when he saw him.

"Hey, good morning, Xiao Hao! It's another beautiful day. What do you think of my new shoes? Hehehe, they feel a bit stiff on my feet, but that's okay. Under my iron feet, Roy, they'll be shaped into my form in no time."

Seeing Roy's smug expression, Zhang Hao also thought it looked good. After all, the previous pair of shoes did look too worn out. The tread on the forefoot of the sole was almost worn down. But back then, Roy had shown Zhang Hao by making a few small cuts on the sole with the dagger and rubbing it on the ground a couple of times, saying that the high sole was good. Zhang Hao was really shocked at the time.

Moreover, Roy basically wore two identical outfits interchangeably. Zhang Hao had done the same before, but after Zoya came last time, he received many new clothes. Although there were a few women's clothes among them, Zhang Hao successfully kept his word and didn't wear them, even under everyone's expectant gaze.

After all, there's only one option when it comes to cross-dressing: zero times or countless times. Zhang Hao stated that although he's cute, he's still definitely not a effeminate man.

"Oh? You need to use some kind of iron leg for such a hassle? I can get it done in a morning. Do you want me to help you?"

Just then, Red Wolf walked over. He was furious with Roy's arrogant attitude last night, and this was a perfect opportunity to take advantage of Roy.

"Tch, you're kidding. Do you think you know more than me? Do you have the same kind of bond between me and my old shoes? You change shoes really fast, tsk tsk tsk."

Red Wolf still smiled after hearing this, but if you looked closely, you could see that the veins on his head were bulging.

"That's precisely because I change shoes so often, I need to get used to new shoes as quickly as possible. How about I take you to try them on?"

Seeing Red Wolf's confident demeanor, Roy agreed. Red Wolf, with a knowing smile, led Roy out. Before leaving, Red Wolf turned to Zhang Hao and said:

"Xiao Hao, could you please tell Shen Lan later that Roy and I won't be coming back for lunch?"

"??? What do you mean if it's not Red Wolf?"

"Oh, let's go, let's go. What I meant was, I'll treat you to dinner out later, okay?"

"You didn't lie to me?"

"Oh, I'm not kidding you, I'm not lying to you."

Watching Roy being "tricked" away, Zhang Hao could only silently pray that he wouldn't die on his way back.
