Chapter 55 Long Time No See

Yu Nianqing thought she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight, but unexpectedly, she fell into a deep sleep soon after closing her eyes and had a dreamless night.

The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is check if the video communication on the terminal has been disconnected.

He didn't rush to get up, but stayed snuggled in the blankets watching the images on the virtual screen.

Hengxing must have fixed the terminal to the mecha's operating area, so the camera could only capture footage up to her nose.

He heard her issuing orders to the squad from the other end of the terminal, and he listened quietly without making a sound.

Since yesterday, Hengxing has never disconnected from video calls.

Yu Nianqing carries a terminal with her and will talk to her for a few minutes when she has free time. The rest of the time, she quietly watches her fight against the insect beasts or watch her interact with her teammates.

"Captain Heng, why won't you let me look into your eyes?" After watching the videos for several weeks, he finally discovered the blind spot.

Hengxing touched his flatbread head, remained silent for a moment, and then made an excuse, "This can only be kept here."

Yu Nianqing: "Really? You adjusted the seat a few days ago."

"Is your forehead injured?" he asked worriedly.

Hengxing: "No, not at all."

Yu Nianqing: "Then look down and let me see your face."

Seeing the female Alpha hesitate, he became more forceful. "Captain Heng, let me see you."

Hengxing knew there was no way to fool her, so she said, "My hair is very dirty."

It was a bit outrageous, but Yu Nianqing knew she was telling the truth and couldn't help but laugh: "I won't look down on you."

"I'm busy now, you should go have lunch." She looked up and piloted her mech back to the squad, abruptly changing the subject.

"Go ahead, go ahead, I'll ask Officer Chen why he didn't come to take my statement."

Yu Nianqing shook his head helplessly and sent a message to the female Beta police officer using his terminal.

It's strange. She clearly said that she would come to him to make a statement in a few days, but several weeks have passed and she hasn't shown up.

[Yu**: Officer Chen, are we not taking a statement anymore?]

[Chen* from the Public Security Bureau: Ah, this.]

[Police Chief Chen*: We have plenty of evidence now, so we don't need you to give a statement.]

Is that so?

Yu Nianqing sensed something was wrong, but didn't press the matter further.

When he reopened the video window, he saw that Hengxing's lips were slightly downturned, and he looked like he wasn't in a good mood.

"What's wrong, Captain Heng?"

"It's nothing." She paused. "What kind of punishment do you think Lin He should receive?"

Yu Nianqing hesitated for a moment, "Imperial laws will stipulate it, it's not up to me to decide."

Heng Xing pressed on, "Don't you have any ideas?"

Yu Nianqing sensed a hidden meaning in her words, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's see the Imperial Law."

Hengxing: "I see."

Yu Nianqing countered, "And what do you think?"

Heng Xing didn't hesitate, "Since she can't control her lower body, then there's no need for her to have it."

Yu Nianqing wanted to say something more, but seeing that she had actually started fighting the insect beasts, she didn't disturb her.

I had a hunch that the officer hadn't come to take my statement, which might be thanks to Captain Heng.

More than half a year has passed, and the strawberry seedlings have produced another batch of new strawberries.

The roses he planted did not wither; instead, they sprouted healthy branches and buds, bursting forth with large red flower buds. From the other end of the corridor, the small flowerbed was a sea of ​​red.

He deliberately moved a pot of strawberries to the front of his bed, specifically to show Hengxing this live.

But he didn't expect Hengxing to suddenly tell him that he had something to do and couldn't continue the video call, which completely thwarted his plans.

"Will it take long?" Yu Nianqing asked. "Are you going to take a shower?"

She used to stop video calls for half an hour when she was taking a shower, but didn't she just take a shower this morning?

Heng Xing: "It's not a shower, it might take quite a while."

Yu Nianqing was a little unhappy. "Why?"

But after saying that, she felt like she was throwing a tantrum, like a child who would cry and scream if a piece of candy was taken away. "Come back soon, I'll miss you."

"Okay," Hengxing readily agreed. "We'll meet again soon."

Her words had a hidden meaning, but Yu Nianqing took them as just words of comfort and didn't pay them any mind.

Therefore, he slept alone with the strawberry seedlings at night.

The absence of the familiar sounds of mechs made him feel very uncomfortable, and he suffered from insomnia again, waiting for his biological clock to finally drag him to sleep.

The spaceship was completely silent; if you listened carefully, you could hear the rustling of a robot vacuum cleaner.

Unable to sleep and bored, Yu Nianqing listened to the robot vacuum cleaner passing by the guest room door, its laughter indicating that it was moving further and further away. When it reached the other side of the corridor, it would turn back and pass by the door again.

He stared blankly at the ceiling, and when he came to his senses, he suddenly realized that the whirring sound of the robot vacuum cleaner had disappeared.

Holding my breath, I realized that several minutes had passed, but the rustling sound still hadn't appeared.

wrong.

Yu Nianqing sat up, got out of bed, and prepared to go out and take a look.

However, because he wasn't used to it, he accidentally kicked the flowerpot of the strawberry seedling, gasped, sat down for a while to catch his breath, and then limped out.

The corridor was quiet, everything was exactly the same as before, nothing had changed.

But he sensed something was wrong, so he pulled out a tranquilizer gun from his spatial storage and headed towards the spaceship's exit, which was in the direction of the small flowerbed.

His grip on the anesthetic gun wasn't as awkward as before; ever since the incident with Lin He, he had been practicing shooting every day.

really,

As he reached the corner, he heard a few very light footsteps.

Someone secretly boarded the spaceship?

He clenched his teeth, slowly raised his arm to shoulder level, lightened his steps, and suddenly turned at the corner.

As he turned the corner, he gripped the barrel of the gun with one hand.

"Why aren't you asleep yet? I wanted to surprise you in the guest room." Heng Xing deftly raised the gun barrel.

The anesthetic gun fired a useless shot at the ceiling.

"Why are you back?" Yu Nianqing stared at her blankly, her first thought being that she was dreaming.

"It's all over, so I'm back." Heng Xing smiled and took the anesthetic gun from his hand.

Yu Nianqing still looked dazed. "Really? It's all over."

After Hengxing confirmed it again, he rushed forward and jumped into her outstretched arms.

Hengxing gently hugged him, "Long time no see."
