Chapter 44 Love and Stars

Yu Nianqing calculated that before he left, he bought a lot of highly realistic replicas to replace the jewelry that Yu Yi had given him to make a good impression.

Those collectible jewels are still in his spatial storage; he can sell them at auction houses on remote stars if necessary. If he's lucky enough to find a wealthy buyer, getting thirty to forty million star coins won't be a problem.

Moreover, this villa will not be his future residence. Once the safety hazards are eliminated and the planet's protective shield is activated, he will sell the house.

The scenery here is nice, and the location is decent. If we lower the price slightly, there will still be a market for it.

So, these loans weren't a problem, and he felt relieved.

The terminal in my hand vibrated twice.

Heng Xing glanced at it, "Here's my treatment suggestion."

Yu Nianqing moved closer to her, then suddenly stopped, as if remembering something, and slowly returned to her original position. "Captain Heng, have you cleared the toxins from your body?"

Seeing him retreat out of the corner of his eye, Hengxing zoomed in on the virtual screen on the terminal so that both of them could see it directly.

Yu Nianqing smiled faintly; compared to the treatment recommendations she had seen last time, something seemed to have changed.

“Well, I suggest you take another course of treatment in the treatment chamber. There are still trace amounts of toxins in your blood, but the treatment advice says there's no rush.” He turned to look at Heng Xing, “Captain Heng, do you feel any better now?”

Heng Xing: "Yes, the effect is quite obvious."

She actually fell asleep yesterday, although it wasn't for long, but she was already very content.

After all, if he told Yu Nianqing that he couldn't sleep because he couldn't smell his pheromones, it would make her feel like a pervert.

“Then let’s go get treated later,” Yu Nianqing said. “It would be too unsafe if the Zerg suddenly invaded while we were in the treatment pod.”

Heng Xing: "Okay, but the planetary protective shield can't be that fragile, can it?"

Yu Nianqing felt that her safety awareness was too shallow and strongly disagreed, saying, "There were similar examples ten years ago."

Hengxing turned the page.

The examination report indicated that her brain morphology was normal, and the treatment recommendations suggested that she take a high-concentration brain-boosting liquid until her memory was restored, and that she look at familiar objects or scenery more often in her daily life.

Yu Nianqing thought she could go back to the repair shop to see that familiar spaceship again; maybe one day she would remember it.

She thought it made sense, so the two of them boarded the aircraft and returned to the familiar repair shop.

Heng Xing went to the milk tea shop behind him and bought a cup of hot milk tea to warm Yu Nianqing up. Then, shamelessly, he went to the convenience store next door and asked the clerk to heat up his nutritional supplement for him.

They sat side by side on a bench opposite the repair shop, with the streetlights shining down from above.

Their shadows nestled together, a stark contrast to the empty streets and solitary pedestrians, making them look exactly like a pair of lovers who remained faithful despite the impending disaster.

"That spaceship seems to have been repaired by now." Yu Nianqing held the hot milk tea in her hands, unsure how to take a sip.

Even though he hadn't drunk it yet, he already felt warm enough inside.

Heng Xing objectively analyzed: "The surface hasn't been polished yet; it may take a few more days."

Yu Nianqing: "Following this trend, turning off the planet's protective shield actually has some advantages. After all, we can now ensure that it can't leave Yula Star, and we can come to see it every day."

In his words, the spaceship was like their child.

The more Heng Xing looked at the spaceship, the more familiar it seemed, and something seemed to be about to emerge from his mind.

She stood up. "Let's go, let's go to the store and take a closer look."

Yu Nianqing hurriedly stood up and followed behind her, holding the cup of hot milk tea lightly in her hand.

Hengxing noticed he seemed a little unsteady on his feet. "Is it too hot?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, I took the milk tea from his hand and said, "Let me hold it for you, I'll give it to you after it cools down a bit."

Perhaps the Alpha's skin was too thick, or perhaps the calluses on her hands were too heavy; she only felt that the cup was warm.

She looked down at the cup for a moment, then took off her woolen hat, put it over the cup, and handed it back to him, saying, "This way it won't be hot!"

Yu Nianqing: ...

"Captain Heng, isn't your head cold?"

"It's okay, there's heating inside."

Heng Xing led him into the repair shop with a swagger, casually putting his arm around the shoulder of the employee in the yellow uniform, "Do you sell spaceships?"

"Sold, sold! What style would you like, ma'am?" The man in yellow looked at her with the same enthusiasm he would show a coin.

Although the female Alpha in front of me was dressed simply, she was relaxed and unrestrained.

He was impressed, thinking she was a wealthy but unassuming spaceship enthusiast.

“This one,” Heng Xing said, pointing to the antique spaceship that was being repaired.

"I'm sorry, this was sent here for repair by another customer," the woman in yellow replied awkwardly. "Do you have any other styles you'd like?"

The other party was very stubborn and wouldn't give up, saying, "Give me the spaceship owner's contact information, and I'll talk to her myself."

Seeing the man in yellow standing there hesitating, Hengxing pressed down on his shoulder and said vaguely, "If she's willing to sell, I promise you won't suffer any losses."

After saying that, she appeared to be wandering around the store waiting for a reply from the woman in yellow, but in reality, she was observing the details of the spaceship.

This spaceship is not well maintained. It's not noticeable from a distance, but it's quite obvious upon closer inspection. There are signs of repair on the paint on the head, and there are quite a few scratches on the sides. It may be the work of a space meteorite. The repair shop has only restored half of it so far.

It seems this spaceship will be staying here for another week or two.

Having confirmed that she had looked at everything, the saleswoman in the yellow dress was still hesitating. She looked up at Yu Nianqing.

He had been standing by the door waiting for her, and then, quite perceptively, he came over and took her arm. "If he won't give it to you, then forget it. Let's go to the auction house and see."

Heng Xing: "But I just like these battle-damaged antique spaceships. Don't you think they have a sense of brokenness left by the erosion of time?"

Yu Nianqing: "Let's go, there are better ones."

Heng Xing seemed to be persuaded and slowly walked away with him.

Watching her walk away, the woman in yellow gritted her teeth and decided, "I'll give you her contact information."

"Okay." Heng Xing wrote down the phone number, patted him on the shoulder to express his gratitude, and then turned around and left with Yu Nianqing in a dashing manner.

Back on the street, the two walked towards the hospital.

"Do you want to know who its owner is?" Yu Nianqing asked her curiously.

Heng Xing: "Yeah, we can talk about it another time."

If she still can't remember after a few days, this might be a way to promote memory recovery.

After returning to the hospital, the two went to the pharmacy to pick up their medication, but were told that they needed to make an appointment in advance to get the medication, and that they would have to wait at least half an hour to get it.

Yu Nianqing watched the goose-feather-like snowflakes drifting in the sky, reflecting different colors under the warm yellow streetlights.

"Captain Heng, shall we wait a bit?" He tugged at Heng Xing's sleeve.

Heng Xing: "I'll listen to you."

Language is an art. Even though answering "okay" or "success" would have yielded the same result, she chose to "listen to you."

A warm feeling welled up in her heart. Yu Nianqing stood on the steps and looked at the Alpha who was covered in white frost on her head but didn't seem to realize how cold she was. She quickly followed her down and put the cup sleeve back into a woolen hat, then put it on the Alpha's head and carefully shook the snowflakes out of her curly hair.

Hengxing grasped his hand. "Mr. Yu, I'm not cold."

The warmth spread between their palms, and both of them were startled, but neither of them withdrew their hands.

After staring at each other blankly for half a minute, they tacitly let go of each other's hands.

"Let's build a snowman," Yu Nianqing suggested, trying to ease the awkwardness.

He suddenly noticed that Alpha's ears were slightly red, and found it amusing. He deliberately reminded her, "Captain Heng, make sure you wear your hat properly, or your ears will freeze red."

After she finished speaking, I noticed that she actually reached out and touched her earlobe. She laughed so hard that she couldn't stand up and squatted down, hugging her knees.

This action was quite unladylike, something he would never have done before. But the atmosphere around him and Captain Heng in front of him were both gentle, making him feel that it wouldn't hurt to do it just this once.

Hengxing touched his earlobe; it was a little hot.

She knew she had been tricked. She looked around, thinking of finding some clean snow to make a snowball and throw it at him, but then she remembered how sensitive he was to the cold and worried that she might make him catch a cold, so she gave up.

She walked up to him, squatted down, and hugged her knees as well. "Mr. Yu, you're actually quite childish too."

Yu Nianqing laughed and gave her a push, trying to push her into the snowdrift next to him. However, he didn't expect that he would lose control of his strength and fall into her arms as well. The two of them crashed into the snowdrift, making a hole.

The snow on top fell downwards due to gravity, melting into water at the junction of the scarf and neck, then slid down the neck like tiny insects, tickling and cooling.

Hengxing felt a chill on his neck and pulled the person in his arms closer to prevent the snowmelt from seeping into his scarf.

Yu Nianqing wanted to say, "Let's get up quickly," but after feeling her movements, she swallowed her words and moved with her strength until she was firmly held in her arms, her face pressed against her chest, feeling the unique curve of a female Alpha.

It was amazing; even though he was wearing thick winter clothes, he could almost hear Hengxing's heartbeat.

Perhaps it was because the two were so close that he couldn't help but think about it.

Captain Heng probably likes me a little too.

Otherwise, why would I always be so considerate of him?

After a brief pause, Hengxing hugged him as they climbed out of the snowdrift. Then, the two of them built a snowman together under the streetlights, and neither of them mentioned the hug they had just shared.

A flat, round object; the female Alpha is trying to make it stand upright on the ground.

"Captain Heng, what are you building?" Yu Nianqing asked, looking at her work.

Heng Xing finally finished his masterpiece. "This is one star coin."

She turned to ask, "What's wrong? Doesn't it look like it?"

Looking into those bright, golden eyes, Yu Nianqing couldn't bring herself to do it and, against her conscience, praised, "After you said it, I suddenly felt like it."

Heng Xing nodded in satisfaction, then looked back at his work and noticed the ground was empty. "Where's yours?"

Yu Nianqing said with a smile, "I didn't think it looked good, so I destroyed it."

Hengxing taught him, "As long as you are confident enough, everything looks good."

Like your coins?

Yu Nianqing was both amused and exasperated.

"Captain Heng, is the medicine ready?" he asked.

Heng Xing glanced at the time on the terminal and said, "Alright, let's go get it."

She went ahead first, and Yu Nianqing slowly walked up to her side only after the dispensing machine had finished dispensing the medicine.

The automatic dispensing machine dispensed a plastic box with a handle. Through the lid, you could see the brain-boosting liquids lying inside.

Hengxing believed in technology and stuffed it into the spatial button without even looking at it. The two chatted as they walked back to their dormitory.

After returning to her dormitory, Yu Nianqing took her clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Hengxing took out a plastic box, preparing to drink a bottle of brain-boosting liquid before going to bed.

But after taking out the medicine, she suddenly discovered that two boxes were just for show, as they were empty inside.

The money has already been paid.

How could this be?

It's infuriating.

She immediately got up and knocked on the bathroom door. "Mr. Yu, I'm going back to the medicine dispenser to get my medicine."

The sound of water in the bathroom stopped. "Didn't I take it? Did they give me the wrong one?"

Hengxing: "It was left for me. Let's go there and see how to deal with it."

"Go early and come back early."

"Okay." Hengxing jogged back to the medicine pick-up area.

Following the advice of netizens on the StarNet who had similar experiences, I took a series of steps.

Thank goodness, they will reissue the medicine she owes.

However, we'll have to wait another half hour.

This is really troublesome. I'll complain about it when I get back.

The snow had stopped on their way back to the dormitory.

It fell over.

What a pity.

I should have taken photos of her work to commemorate it.

She walked down the steps to the Star Coin Ruins and found something strange.

If it had fallen over on its own, the flat, round coin would have shattered into irregular chunks, but it is now lying perfectly flat on the ground.

There were also two small snowballs on top.

What is this?

Concave at the top and pointed at the bottom.

It is a heart.

This heart-shaped snowball is symmetrical and actually quite well done.

Heng Xing remembered Yu Nianqing's excuse, smiled, and opened the terminal to take a high-definition photo of it.

Mr. Yu is still too insecure.

It's only slightly less than her Star Coins.

What is the other one?

Let her see.

She put the heart back on the coin and picked up another snowball.

Five sharp corners.

Is it a five-pointed star?

Love and stars?

Even the most obtuse person in the world could immediately understand the meaning of these two snowballs.

Hengxing felt all the blood rushing to her face, her heart pounding faster and faster in her ears, and her mind filled with the thought, "She has to go back now."

I rushed back to the medicine dispenser and found that I still had to wait for 25 minutes.

As she looked at the useless machine, her eyes darkened.

hateful,

I can't wait any longer.

I'm reporting you right now.
