He Yuejin stared at her as if he'd seen a ghost. "Zhou Yanchen, seducing you?"

"What's with that expression?"

She knew no one would believe her!

He Yuejin: "Are you drunk?"

He might believe it if it were anyone else, but everyone knows that Zhou Yanchen is an upright person who doesn't get close to women, so he can't imagine what it would be like for Zhou Yanchen to seduce female comrades!

Just thinking about it is terrifying!

Lu Yan got angry and kicked him, yelling, "You're the one who's drunk! Get out of here!"

He Yuejin jumped back a meter, raised the blueprints in his hand, and said, "Remember to go to the factory to reconcile accounts on Sunday."

Lu Yan pointed at him and said, "Give me a 2% raise, or I won't draw for you anymore!"

He Yuejin's eyes widened. "Why don't you just rob it?!"

"I don't care, I'll make you distrust me!"

After saying that, Lu Yan turned and went back.

He Yuejin watched her retreating figure, shook his head, and smiled.

Qin Xiaofang from the next courtyard, peering out from her doorway, spat out, "Vixen!"

As soon as Lu Yan stepped into the living room, she saw Lu Yaguang holding a Zhen'er cake. "Handsome uncle, let's eat together."

Zhou Yanchen looked up at him.

Lu Yaguang's eyes were bright as he sincerely shared his favorite things.

Zhou Yan hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took it.

Lu Yaguang grinned, leaned closer, and winked.

"Handsome uncle, can I play with your airplane for ten seconds?"

As if afraid Zhou Yanchen would disagree, he held up one finger to emphasize, "I'll only play for ten seconds!"

He's been carving that airplane for several days, but he hasn't even finished the outside part, let alone the inside.

The handsome uncle's plane had a person sitting inside, just like a real person.

Zhou Yanchen glanced at the Zhen'er cake in his hand, then looked up at the little boy. "You want to trade with me?"

Lu Yaguang shook his head. "It's not an exchange, handsome uncle. If you eat my Zhen'er cake, I won't have any left. I'll play with the airplane for a while and then give it back to you. You didn't lose out."

"Hahahaha—"

Jin Aiyun burst into laughter as the little guy earnestly explained things.

He walked over, picked Lu Yaguang up, and kissed him. "Oh my, Yaguang has such a silver tongue; he could be a diplomat someday!"

Lu Yaguang raised his chubby arm and shouted, "No! I want to fly a plane like that handsome uncle!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanchen suddenly looked at him.

The little guy had a determined look in his eyes and a powerful voice.

Zhou Yanchen stared at Lu Yaguang's small face, his expression suddenly turning serious. "Why do you want to fly a plane?"

"Mom said that we have too few pilots. Uncle Shuai is very good. He is the best at flying planes. I want to be like Uncle Shuai and become the best person."

The little guy nods every two or three words he says, his head-shaking and swaying is incredibly cute.

But Zhou Jianguo and Jin Aiyun were thinking about something else entirely.

Jin Aiyun was somewhat dazed. She slowly looked at Zhou Yanchen and said, "Yanchen, you said the same thing back then."

Three generations of the Zhou family served in the military. When his father-in-law and wife talked about the war, Zhou Yan listened attentively.

When the conversation turned to the nation's weak air superiority, its severe suppression by the enemy, and the sacrifice of all of the country's first batch of pilots, Zhou Yanchen stood up, his voice just as loud, "Grandpa, I want to be a pilot! I want to fly planes and bomb them to death, to avenge our heroes!"

More than a decade has passed, and her son has done it.

In a moment of reverie, she seemed to see her son as a child.

Lu Yan stood not far away, feeling very gratified.

She walked over, took Lu Yaguang from her, and held him on her lap, saying, "Yaguang is great, but the airplane is Uncle Shuai's most precious possession. We can't force him. Didn't Uncle Yanxing just give you a tank?"

Lu Yaguang looked somewhat disappointed and lowered his head. "Alright then."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yan's deep voice came through, "Only ten seconds?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yaguang excitedly looked up, "Yes, yes, I'll just play for ten seconds!"

Zhou Yan nodded his chin toward his bedroom. "Go get it."

Lu Yaguang jumped off Lu Yan's lap and ran towards Zhou Yanchen's bedroom.

Lu Yan glanced at Zhou Yanchen and couldn't help but chuckle.

Ten seconds, and by the time her son brings it over and says a word, the time is up.

Zhou Yanchen didn't look at her.

Soon, Lu Yaguang came out of the bedroom with the airplane, making sure to close the door behind him.

Lu Yaguang held up the airplane and showed it off to Lu Yan, "Mom, an airplane!"

Lu Yaguang jogged over to Zhou Yanchen, pointing to the little figure sitting inside the airplane, "Handsome uncle, is that you in there?"

Zhou Yanchen shook his head. "No."

Lu Yaguang responded with an "oh".

"Time is up."

Lu Yaguang looked puzzled. "Huh?"

Zhou Yan looked at him quietly, his face expressionless. "Ten seconds are up."

Lu Yaguang: "..."

Zhou Jianguo and Jin Aiyun were both stunned.

Lu Yan, on the other hand, had an expression that said, "I knew this would happen."

Lu Yaguang pouted, his eyes already red before he could speak, "I just brought it over."

Zhou Yan nodded, his words still hurtful, "Time's up. You said ten seconds, now you've had thirty."

Lu Yaguang was extremely aggrieved, his eyes were already brimming with tears, but he still obediently handed the plane to Zhou Yanchen.

After returning the plane, Lu Yaguang buried his face in Lu Yan's arms.

Lu Yan hugged him tightly and laughed silently.

Seeing Lu Yan's eyes almost squishing together from laughing, Jin Aiyun and Zhou Jianguo felt rather helpless.

Lu Yan held back for a long time before she managed to make her voice sound less happy.

"Ya Guang, your uncle didn't lie to you, ten seconds really have passed."

In the end, Lu Yan couldn't help but laugh.

Hearing his mother's laughter, Lu Yaguang froze for a moment, then burst into tears.

"Waaah—waaah—"

Lu Yan laughed even louder this time.

"Okay, okay, stop crying, stop crying. You were the one who spoke to your uncle for ten seconds."

Lu Yaguang's shoulders trembled as he cried, looking utterly pitiful.

Jin Aiyun looked on with heartache, "You two are really going too far! Look how upset you've made the child! What does a little kid know? Give him the toy plane back quickly, let him play with it a little longer!"

Zhou Yanchen looked at Lu Yaguang, "I can let you play a little longer. Tell me, how long do you want to play this time?"

Lu Yaguang's eyelashes were still wet with tears. Hearing this, she stopped crying and turned to look at Zhou Yanchen.

Zhou Yanchen: "Think it over carefully this time before you speak."

Lu Yaguang didn't speak for long before turning to Lu Yan for help, "Mom..."

Children don't have a concept of time. In their minds, 10 is a very long number, and they don't care about anything after that.

Lu Yan: "Baby, there are many units of time: 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in an hour, and 60 seconds in a minute."

After saying that, Lu Yan encouraged him, "Tell your uncle how long you want to play."

Lu Yaguang nodded, wiped away her tears, and turned to Zhou Yanchen, saying, "Handsome Uncle, I want to play for ten thousand days!"

Zhou Yanchen: "..."

Lu Yan and the others were stunned for a moment, then they all burst into laughter.

Zhou Yanchen: "No, half a day at most."

Lu Yaguang nodded reluctantly, "Alright then."

Zhou Yanchen reached out and handed him the airplane.

Lu Yaguang ran over excitedly, his beloved toy back in his hands. "Thank you, handsome uncle."

As he spoke, Lu Yaguang looked at Zhou Yanchen's legs and said, "Handsome uncle, your legs are so long, I want to sit on your lap."
