Lin Hua's eyes sparkled as she looked at Lu Ming. "That... that! Do you have any more of those mechanical watches? Give one to your big sister."
Lu Ming looked at Lin Hua teasingly, intentionally revealing the gravity mechanical watch on his wrist. "Sister Lin Hua, you mean this one."
I'm sorry, I only made one! But..."
"But what? Just say it! You're really worrying me to death," Lin Hua pressed urgently.
Lu Ming let out a cold "humph" and said, "First, apologize to me for what happened this morning! Then, promise that you won't play tricks on me like this again."
Hearing this, Lin Hua breathed a sigh of relief. "Little Lu Ming, I thought you were going after my private stash; I didn't expect the request to be so simple."
"Don't try to change the subject, Sister Lin Hua!"
"Fine, I, Lin Hua, promise! I definitely won't tease Lu Ming again today," Lin Hua said slyly.
Lu Ming felt something was off, but since he heard Lin Hua apologize, he let it go. "In that case, I'll forgive you."
Saying that, Lu Ming took an improved bamboo copter out of his Manufacturing Space and handed it to Lin Hua.
"This is called a bamboo copter. When using it, you just need to press the suction cup onto a part of your body. I usually press it onto the top of my head."
"That way, it won't easily interfere with the gadget's operation. Although the bamboo copter isn't as useful as my gravity mechanical watch, it can still let you fly freely in the sky."
"Its flight principle is similar to my gravity mechanical watch; both work by generating an anti-gravity field to counteract Earth's gravity, thereby achieving flight."
"Its top speed can be as fast as a sports car, and its battery life can last for half a year on a full charge."
While Lu Ming introduced the functions of the bamboo copter to Lin Hua, he also used gravity to lead her back to the villa. He wrapped the ingredients she had bought in a gravity field and flew them back to the kitchen.
Lu Ming and Lin Hua landed in the villa's courtyard from mid-air. "Alright, Sister Lin Hua, I've said all I need to say. Try the bamboo copter for yourself!"
Lin Hua looked at the bamboo copter in her hand and, a bit nervously, pressed it onto her head. In the next second, the bamboo copter began to spin slowly.
Lin Hua felt an invisible force field envelop her, and a gentle yet steady force lifted her upward.
Her toes slowly left the ground. Enveloped by the anti-gravity field, the hem of her skirt swayed gently in the breeze.
Lin Hua's eyes widened as she saw herself suspended in the air. Under Lu Ming's repeated guidance...
In the beginning, Lin Hua only dared to fly close to the ground, fearing she would fall if she flew too high.
But later, yearning for the freedom of flight, she flew a bit higher, soaring freely over the villa and occasionally descending to skim over the peach tree in the courtyard.
Lin Hua felt the breeze blowing past her ears. As she flew close to the ground in the courtyard, she smelled the faint scent of green grass in the wind.
Seeing that Lin Hua had adapted, Lu Ming also flew up with a whoosh and flew side-by-side with her.
After flying for a while, Lin Hua stopped in mid-air. Seeing this, Lu Ming also stopped. "What's wrong, Sister Lin Hua? Have you grown tired of it already?"
Lin Hua rolled her eyes at Lu Ming and said, "I want to go higher. When I took a plane to Neon, I saw the scenery of the sky outside the window."
"I thought then, what would it feel like if I could soar freely through the clouds like a bird?"
"Little Lu Ming! You've let me experience the ability to fly freely; now I want to go up and see the clouds!"
"Alright! Since Sister Lin Hua wants to see them, I'll go with you."
With that, the two flew straight toward the high-altitude clouds. In an instant, they passed through the fluffy layers. The moment they emerged, fine bits of cloud mist clung to their faces, cool and damp like a fresh drizzle.
Passing through the clouds, they saw the continuous rows of houses and the Back Mountain in the distance. Lin Hua couldn't help but slow down, reaching out to grab the clouds drifting past her.
However, she could only feel a damp coolness in her hand. At this moment, Lin Hua was exactly like Lu Ming when he had first started flying.
Lu Ming followed behind Lin Hua, watching her weave and glide through the clouds like a frolicking wild cat, darting here and there.
Flying freely among the clouds, Lin Hua suddenly turned and flew toward Lu Ming. Just as she was about to collide with him, she made a nimble turn and quickly circled around him.
Her voice, carried by the wind, reached Lu Ming's ears. "If I had known you had such a fun gadget as the bamboo copter, I wouldn't have teased you today."
Hearing this, Lu Ming suddenly realized what had happened and looked at Lin Hua helplessly. "No wonder I felt something was off when you made that oath earlier. You left a loophole!"
Lin Hua quickly flew in front of Lu Ming and flicked his forehead with her finger. "You just realized? My little brother."
When I made that oath, I said I wouldn't tease you today, but that doesn't mean I won't tease you in the future, little brother."
Lu Ming smiled at this, took the all-purpose cloud gas out of his Manufacturing Space, and waved it in front of Sister Lin Hua.
"Sister Lin Hua, I have another magical gadget here. Do you want to try it? If you want it, you can never tease me again," Lu Ming said triumphantly.
Lin Hua glanced at the ordinary-looking small canister in Lu Ming's hand. "Che, trying to fool your Sister Lin Hua with a plain little canister? You underestimate me too much."
Seeing this, Lu Ming took the all-purpose cloud gas, adjusted the gas to solidified gas, and sprayed it evenly onto the clouds.
Lu Ming nodded at the medium-sized cloud in front of him, then switched the all-purpose cloud gas to hot spring gas and sprayed it onto the cloud beneath his feet.
In an instant, the cloud beneath his feet turned into a steaming hot spring. Seeing this, Lin Hua stared dumbfoundedly at the hot spring pool and then at the all-purpose cloud gas in Lu Ming's hand.
Ignoring Lin Hua's reaction, Lu Ming dipped his hand into the hot spring pool to check the temperature. Feeling that it was just right, he took off his clothes, jumped into the pool, and comfortably took a bath.
Seeing this, Lin Hua flew over, looked at the cloud beneath her feet, and reached out to test the water temperature herself.
Lin Hua stared blankly at Lu Ming's actions; in the blink of an eye, this medium-sized cloud had become a hot spring pool.
She watched as Little Lu Ming lay in the hot spring pool, soaking comfortably.
Lin Hua flew down from the clouds, returned to her room, found her one-piece swimsuit, and put on a coat after changing into it.
She hurriedly flew back and took off her coat by the side of the hot spring pool. The swimsuit she wore outlined the curves of her body.
Lu Ming stared blankly at Sister Lin Hua, but after snapping out of it, he quickly looked away.
Lin Hua also noticed Lu Ming's subtle reaction and said with a smile, "Oh, so our Little Lu Ming is actually a little pervert? You understand these things at such a young age."
Lu Ming resisted the urge to look, turning his head to the side and saying stubbornly, "I am not. It's just that the hot spring is a bit hot."
Lin Hua smiled and stopped teasing Lu Ming. Instead, she lay comfortably in the hot spring pool made of clouds, enjoying the comfort and relaxation of the moment.
