Chapter 68: He Who Regrets to Design Gundam


    Scientific studies have shown that the human eye cannot cause stress. That is to say, a normal person is unable to tell if someone is staring at him or her from behind. But Ade woke up with the very distinct feeling that someone was watching him, so maybe NT could sense it? He opened his eyes and turned his head, and sure enough, the person beside his pillow was smiling and staring at him. It was only the third day, he found himself already getting used to this.


    "Good morning, Ade." Lacus nted a quick bite on his face, "You''re finally not squishing my hair today, that''s fast progress."


    "Morning, Lacus." He replied in a daze. He had insufficient sleepst night and decided once again that he must go to bed early today. Although, due to a certain reason, its not likely to be achieved.


    No matter how reluctant he was, he had to get up. There was work to be done today, both for Anaheim and for the government. He was a bit speechless about the fact that he was forced to get up early to go to work, and while brushing his teeth, he silently thought that he must retire before he turned 30 and try to live a life of sleeping until he woke up naturally every day.


    Of course, before that, the first thing he has to do is to live through the next month. Although he boasted to Lacus, he still did not think of any perfect solution.


    After breakfast, he went back to his room to pack his things, while Lacus changed her clothes, which she had just bought over the weekend. Now the two are living in one room, with the other room being left unused.


    "Ade, how is it? Does it look good?" Lacus twirled twice in front of him, "This is the first time I''ve worn this."


    The young girl wore ady''s suit and overskirt, and the ck socks made her look a little more mature. In fact, it''s difficult to match pink hair with any clothes, but with a high face value, you just can do whatever you want. This was the first time he saw Lacus wearing professional clothes, and he had to say that this outfit was affecting his work efficiency in various means.


    "It''s okay." He replied, pretending to be calm, "It''s pretty good looking. Not bad."


    The young girl puffed out augh, "Ade, you are so bad at acting. But I''m happy with your reaction."


    When the two packed up and left the house, Uraki was already waiting outside in his car. On the way, Uraki kept peeking at Ade via the rearview mirror with a weird look.


    "Kou." Ade couldn''t take it anymore, "What do you want to say? Don''t be sneaky and look at me in that creepy way."


    "Well, hmm  doctor." Uraki hesitated for a while before he asked, "Does Miss Lacus really be your secretary? The online story has be true?"


    "Lacus is now a free person after the wanting is canceled, right? Isn''t it very normal to find a job?" He found Lacus looking at him with a smirk, as if she knew everything, "What strange things did you see on the Inte again? Forget it, don''t tell me, must not good things."


    "Doctor, you never read the general discussions when you visit the Anaheim forum. right? You can check it out Ny percent of your numerous memes originated there." Uraki spoke while driving, "Your rtionship with Miss Lacus is also spread from here. It''s amazing how a meme bes true."


    "My numerous memes?!" Ade quickly spotted the key information, "Exin, what do you mean by my numerous memes?"


    "You are the king of memes in the technology world! How could tech geeks don''t y memes?" replied Uraki rightfully.


    "So that''s how it is!" Ade suddenly realized, "No wonder when I posted, there were often some peoplemented me with some inexplicable content. So they were ying memes? Wait, I suddenly remember that many people leavements like ''the father''s love is like the ocean''. Were they ying the MS Girl meme?"


    "Uh " Uraki nced awkwardly at Lacus through the rearview mirror, "This meme is also from Anaheim, but it came from another forum section"


    Ade understood. It''s probably the legendary r18 section. Although he never found out where the entrance address was. It was obviously inappropriate to talk about it in front of Lacus, so he resolutely changed the subject.


    It didn''t take him much effort to exin to Diana, and Loran looked very happy for him, so that Ade instead felt some embarrassment. Then he directly made Lacus his secretary. Today is Lacus''s first day of work, as for Lucette, she had returned to Anaheim.


    No matter how to exin it, it''s too wasteful to let a talent like Lucette be the secretary. Because of his identity, no one protested and even Lucette herself didn''t feel anything wrong.


    And Lacus, he doesn''t need to worry about her. Her talent to be a secretary is enough. Even if he himself unintentionally made any mistakes, he believes that Lacus will be promptly reminded of him.


    There weren''t many cars on the road and he soon arrived at the office building. Before the car approached the office building, Ade had felt a sickening awareness that spoiled his good mood in the morning.


    "Sciro" He frowned in displeasure as Lacus looked over worriedly. He took her hand and squeezed it gently tofort her.


    Sciro came to Anaheim to trade the rights of several patents. TITANS is probably trying to develop a new MS, but the reality seems to be less than ideal, now they have to look for outside help.


    Sciro has now basically be the most important big shot of TITANS. Although these few technologies are important, it is actually enough to send an officer here. But now he came, and hoped to be entertained by Minister Lingus.


    When Ade came to the parlor, Sciro was already waiting inside. In terms of status, Sciro was higher than Ade, but Ade had a special title and was fighting on the home turf, so he wasn''t afraid of at all. Sciro stood up and shook his hand, greeted him with a leathery smile, and nced behind him at Lacus with a grin.


    "Good day, Dr. Lingus." Sciro took a seat and Ade followed, "Thest time we met, the doctor was still a civilian, but now you are already a minister, and I am only a lieutenant colonel. The gap between people is really unimaginablyrge."


    Sciro was already the leader of TITANS in essence, saying such things were nothing but showing off. Ade felt Sciro''s undisguised consciousness and understood that he wasing to spike the ball.


    But Sciro is already the Earth Federation''s big shot, how will he do such things? However, unlike ordinary people, all NTs are psychopaths, so does Sciro, and so does Ade. The conflict between the two psychopaths can''t be settled, so Ade doesn''t need to be polite with Sciro. What''s more, Lacus is watching, so he can''t lose face in front of her.


    "Lieutenant Colonel Sciro, you are too polite. You are now in charge of military affairs and finance, you are the big shot of the Federation." Ade gestured to himself mockingly and waved his hand again, "Unlike me, who has nothing."


    "Doesn''t you still have Miss Clyne?" Sciro nced again at Lacus sitting next to Ade and smiled wistfully, "Now she is your secretary? What a blessing. Those guys in the Federation will envy you to death. Doctor, have you far-sighted this back in the Torrington base?"


    "No, I''m face-blind, which means I can''t tell who''s pretty or not." Ade turned his head to look at Lacus, the young girl smiled, looking very calm, "To be honest, I chose her as a secretary not because she is beautiful, because I do not know whether she is beautiful or not."


    Sciro was speechless and didn''t know how to answer it. After a while, he managed his words again, "Doctor, this time, I''ming to trade a few technologies that can be used in ourtest MS. Although its design has almost been finished, there are still a lot of technical problems. I wonder what advice and insights the doctor has?"


    "I can''t do multi-tasking like you, Lieutenant Colonel Sciro." Ade noticed Lacus seemed to be holding back a smile, very stealthy, but deliberately let him find it, "I usually set a small goal that I can reach first, for example, build a Gundam first."


    " Then building a Gundam is trivial to you, can I understand it that way?" Sciro had a look of indignation on his face.


    "I won''t say it''s trivial, it''s too cocky." Ade thought for a moment, "It''s moderate to me."


    "Dr. Lingus, it sounds like you despise Gundam." It looks like Sciro just wants to make big news, "As the father of Gundam, your fans and other technical staff will be sad to hear you say it."


    "No, no, I don''t despise it. Do you want to hear the truth?" Ade sighed and made a painful expression, "The biggest mistake of my life was designing Gundam. "


    Sciro stared at him dumbfounded.


    "I never thought Gundam would change my lifepletely, I just wanted to make some small inventions, but I never thought it would have such a big impact and bring me so many responsibilities and challenges that I don''t even have a life of my own anymore." Ade shook his head helplessly, "If I can go back to the past, I would not have made the same choice. I would just be myself and enjoy my own life."


    Sciro probably had never seen such a shameless person in his life, and didn''t know how to answer, and the atmosphere here became very awkward. Thanks to Lacus, who started another topicter, the conversation ended quickly in an unpleasant atmosphere. Sciro didn''t look in a good mood when he left, and Ade was very happy.


    Of course, it was just a private grievance between Sciro and him, and it didn''t affect the specific negotiation matters.


    After that, Ade took Lacus to his minister''s office, a veryrge room located on the upper floor, elegantly decorated and soundproofed. He usually came here one day a week, and such arge room was a luxury for him. The room had arge sofa just like in his office in Anaheim, which he used for his siesta.


    After entering the room and closing the door, Lacus finally couldn''t stop herself from jumping on Ade andughing out loud.


    "Come on, is it so funny?" He patted Lacus''s back, "Enough, you''ll choke withughter."


    "Ade you''re so funny, this is the first time I''ve seen you like this." The young girl looked up at him andughed so hard that her face turned red, "Did youe up with these lines yourself? I''m going to write them in the novel."


    "No, copied, I''m not that shameless." He switched to another topic he was interested in, "Are you still writing that novel? I thought you have given up. What about the new chapters? Bring them all to me after we get home today. I want to see the Mineva plot."


    " lolicon?" Lacus looked down at herself, then looked up at him alertly, "That''s a crime, Ade, isn''t it enough to have me?"


    "You, you, how can you defile my innocence?"


    "Just teasing you, take it easy." The young girl kissed him gently on the lips, stretched out her fingers to press on his cheek, "After sending Sciro away, there is nothing to do today. Ade, you can lie on the sofa for a while. You must not sleep wellst night. You need to go to bed early from now on, after all, you are not a Coordinator, your body has limits. Look, you have had very light dark circles under the eyes."


    No no no, the culprit is not qualified to say such things, right? But he only thought about it in his heart.


    "There is another option: finish off the evening activities now, so that you can sleep early tonight." The young girl reached over and exhaled in his ear, "Ade, please tell me honestly, what do you think of this idea?"
