She reached out and gave Vivian a big hug, then gently pinched Vivian’s warm little cheeks, “As long as it’s what Vivian wants, I like it.”
Vivian heard that, her eyes rolled around, like she was thinking about some super important stuff.
Her little hand rummaged in her own pocket for a while, then, as if offering a treasure, she handed over the two pieces of chocolate she cherished and couldn’t bear to eat to Lizzie.
“Lizzie, this is for you! A thank–you gift from Vivian.”
After saying that, she flashed a smile at Lizzie, showing her small white teeth like corn kernels.
Lizzie looked at her serious yet adorable expression, with a gentle smile in her eyes.
Those two chocolates, she held them so tightly that they were a little warm, and even a bit deformed. It felt like her heart had been soaked in warm water, all warm and cozy.
“Thanks Vivian, I really like it.”
She took the milk candy, peeled one and put it in her mouth. The sweet taste spread on her tongue, all the way to her heart.
A light bulb went off in Lizzie’s head, like something suddenly clicked.
The technical materials she gave to Terrence before, although very

valuable, were too official and not her most cherished, nor what Terrence liked.
It was not at all like a gift with personal feelings, more like completing a task.
No wonder he was upset.
Lizzie thought about how Terrence used to play with mud when he was little, always directing the other kids to make mud cannons. A small smile crept onto her lips.
She thought that making a delicate cannon model to give to him seemed like a good idea.
Lizzie made up her mind and didn’t hesitate anymore.
After she got home, she waited for Emery to finish work and then asked him to help prepare some things.
Emery nodded when he heard that Lizzie wanted some scraps and tools from Redstar Factory.
“Okay, I’ll bring back those scraps tomorrow. We have all the other tools at home, in the back room. I’ll find them for you in a bit,” Emery said, and went to look for the tools.
“Thanks Emery,” Lizzie didn’t go because she had trouble walking.
In a while, Emery came back and said, “These tools haven’t been used for a while. Take a look and see if they fit. If they don’t fit, I’ll go to the factory tomorrow and borrow some for you.”
Lizzie took a look, “Sounds good, I’ll pay for the waste, let’s not make a fundamental mistake
Waste is always collective, not individual.

“Okay,” Emery replied, but with Lizzie’s position at Redstar Factory, Raymond definitely agreed to get the stuff back!
The next day, Emery got off work and indeed brought back the materials Lizzie wanted.
She put the translated manuscript aside and started building a fighter jet model.
She picked up the file and started grinding a piece of inconspicuous metal with a focused expression, fine metal powder falling down steadily.
For a few days, Lizzie was totally focused on making a model fighter jet.
Train station.
Theron took Vanessa and Jasmin back to Sorto Village by train.
On the platform, the whistle was sharp and piercing.
Johanna watched the train chug away with thick smoke until it disappeared at the end of her sight, then she breathed a sigh of relief.
The huge stone that had been weighing on her heart for days seemed to have finally been moved, and she finally showed a genuine smile.
She reached out to hold Theron’s hand, the obstacle was gone, it was time to get closer to Theron.
However, Theron accidentally raised his hand and missed her outstretched hand.
Johanna bit her lip hard, he didn’t want to hold hands, was it because he still had feelings for Lizzie?

Theron’s hand fumbled in his pocket for a moment, then he pulled out a key. “My dorm assignment came in. You’ll be staying at Equinox Research Laboratory with Adrienne. It’s a bit inconvenient, so just move in with me. There’s a small courtyard with two rooms, we can each have our own room, so it won’t be awkward.”
Johanna clenched her fist, she wanted to be alone with him!
But to keep up appearances, she still took the keys with a smile, “It’s me and the kids holding you back. After the baby is born, we’ll file for divorce and you can figure out how to cheer up Lizzie.”
Theron’s heart ached, he said in a low tone, “No need.”
He didn’t want to continue that topic, “I’ll help you move later.”
Johanna nodded, and they both went back to Equinox Research Institute together, with some distance between them.
After getting back, Johanna started packing up.
