Su Buyan smiled bitterly and continued, "It can't be helped. This time, we are following the orders of His Majesty the Emperor to work on an important project behind closed doors. Everyone just feels that there is not enough time and has forgotten to eat."
Xia Chujian knew that she couldn't ask Su Buyan about the research topic, so she just skipped the topic and said directly, "Then go and have a good rest first."
"When you come here, I'd like you to help me take a look at my mecha."
Su Buyan saw Xia Chujian's condition and felt something was wrong.
He was eager to know what had happened to Xia Chujian.
Before he entered the laboratory to "seclude himself in research", Xia Chujian had clearly gone on an interstellar exploration mission with the Empire's First Military Academy's interstellar exploration team.
How come you look like this after not seeing you for two months?
If he doesn't figure it out, he probably won't be able to sleep even if he lies in bed.
Su Buyan rakes his messy hair with his fingers, frowns and says, "I'm going to take a shower and then come to your house."
"Where are you? Still in the villa next to the school?"
Xia Chujian had no choice but to say, "Yes, why don't you come over as soon as you finish washing up?"
"I'll make you something delicious to replenish your energy."
Su Buyan immediately smiled brightly: "That's exactly what I want! I'll be right over!"
He went back excitedly to take a shower, then immediately drove his family's private aircraft to the villa area outside the imperial capital.
This villa area is near the Empire’s First Military Academy. The Su family also has a villa here, but Su Buyan rarely comes here.
He had originally planned to give the villa to Xia Chujian, but Quan Yuxun got there first.
When he arrived at Xia Chujian's house, he found out that Xia Yuanfang and the Xia family had come to Beichen Star to accompany Xia Chujian.
Su Buyan nodded: "It's good this way. You will be accompanied by your family members when you first meet her. You can rest assured, and she can rest assured too."
Xia Yuanfang had a very good impression of Su Buyan, and knew that he was the most outstanding genius in mecha construction, so he felt a special kind of closeness to him.
She took the initiative to say, "Please come and see Chu Jian in person. We don't have anything special to offer, so we'll just cook you a meal. What would you like to eat?"
Su Buyan said embarrassedly: "...Well, if it's not too much trouble, I really miss the crispy pancakes I had at your place."
He added: "I've never eaten such delicious crispy sesame cakes anywhere else."
Xia Chujian's eyes flashed slightly, and he thought to himself that his cheap master really knows how to eat!
Why are the crispy pancakes made by her aunt so unique?
First of all, the flour used for the crispy little pancakes is her family’s specialty, Chihua Jiarong wheat!
Then, the meat filling of the crispy little pancakes is made from fresh chopped wild rhinoceros pork!
Finally, add my aunt’s amazing cooking skills, and the combination makes the unique crispy pancakes in the entire Beichen galaxy!
Xia Yuanfang originally wanted to show off his cooking skills and make some complicated food.
I didn't expect Su Buyan's request to be so simple.
She nodded: "No problem, I'll do it now, please wait."
Xia Chujian prepared two buns for Su Buyan and said, "Please wait a while. It will probably take another two hours for the crispy sesame cakes to be ready."
From kneading the dough and letting it rest, to chopping the meat and seasoning it, to finally finishing it, doesn’t it take less than two hours?
Su Buyan originally wanted to say that he wanted to save his stomach for the crispy little pancakes that he had been craving for.
But when I heard that I had to wait for two hours, I was afraid that I couldn’t hold on and would faint from low blood sugar.
So he picked up a white and plump bun and took a bite.
Su Buyan, who had to survive on nutrient solution for two months, immediately had his taste buds hit by a nuclear bomb-level shock!
He took a bite and felt his taste cells immediately begin to evolve, spreading all over his body!
Every bite made the hunger in his body go further!
He didn't care about his image and gobbled up the two buns in a hurry. He took another sip of tea and said with satisfaction, "This is what it means to be alive!"
Xia Chujian was not surprised by Su Buyan's feelings.
When she first came back, she also ate some of the "leftovers" at home and thought they were delicious!
Su Buyan hurriedly filled his stomach before asking Xia Chujian, "What exactly happened? Tell me about it."
Xia Chujian said, "This is a long story, let's go upstairs and talk about it."
In the living room, Wufu and Xiao Jiuxiang were learning to skateboard.
The household robot Liushun carries the teacup dog Awu and the fat little dog Axuan on its hemispherical head, following them closely.
Sanzong was pruning branches in the front yard, and Sixi was fluttering around in the flowers. He was a little dog who particularly liked to "play with flowers and grass".
Su Buyan stood up, looked at the lively and warm atmosphere of the Xia family, and said with emotion: "First meeting, your family is so good to you."
"You should be nicer to them in the future."
Xia Chujian nodded: "I know, they came here just to keep me company. I know."
She took Su Buyan to her study upstairs.
The two of them sat facing each other on a single sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, facing the azure sky outside the snow-white gauze curtains.
Xia Chujian began to talk about the journey of his trip.
Of course, her story came to an abrupt end after someone kicked the door in.
She shrugged and said to Su Buyan, who looked inquiring, "I did remember it, but after I came back, that person..."
She pointed in the direction of the Imperial Palace. "I was summoned to the palace and subjected to a brutal 'lie detector test' that destroyed my brain cells."
"Part of my hippocampus was severely damaged, and I had total memory loss."
