Chapter 37

Facts proved that Jiang Xiangyang underestimated the speed at which the mecha's energy was lost, and finally had to stop several thousand meters away from the foot of the mountain, waiting obediently for Black Touch's response.

Hei Chu didn't let Jiang Xiangyang wait for long. Even when he saw Jiang Xiangyang's embarrassed expression, he didn't say much, nor did he question why Ah Hu was not by Jiang Xiangyang's side. To Yi Ren Yi Qiu's surprise, the other party actually took the initiative to ask if he needed help moving the mecha onto the spaceship.

Jiang Xiangyang was slightly surprised: "Is it possible?"

Black Touch nodded and said that judging by his own load-bearing capacity, the mass of the mecha could be considered insignificant.

Jiang Xiangyang, who inexplicably felt that he was making too much of a fuss, climbed onto the back of the black tentacles with a red face, and the black tentacles took the man and the ball onto the flying ship.

However, when I returned to the spaceship, I didn't see any sign of Shang Yi.

It was midnight when they arrived. Jiang Xiangyang didn't even have time to take a shower and immediately fell into the hibernation cabin.

Having been living in a cave for the past few days, the quality of sleep is certainly not very good. Although the hibernation capsule is not as soft as an ordinary bed, it is many times better than the cave. As a result, Jiang Xiangyang fell asleep on the bottom of the capsule and slept until the next morning, groaning and lying in bed.

It was already afternoon when Jiang Xiangyang finally got up and took care of his hygiene. He ate a few energy bars to satisfy his appetite and then went to find Shang Yi.

"The master is resting. If there's anything you need help repairing, you can..." Hei Chu was referring to the mecha that Jiang Xiangyang brought up. Jiang Xiangyang knew that Shang Yi was always busy, so he refused without thinking too much. "Don't bother. I've learned a little bit about mecha manufacturing. All I need is the tools."

Because Jiang Xiangyang had visited the maintenance room before, Hei Chu felt relieved this time and did not stand by to act as a tour guide. As a result, Jiang Xiangyang went in very nervously and stayed in the maintenance room for a full five hours in a blind manner.

The maintenance room was clean and bright. Fluorescent blue electronic light lingered in Jiang Xiangyang's hands, making crackling sparks when it touched the surface of the mecha. Jiang Xiangyang's eyes were focused on the tools in his hands. The damaged parts were carefully connected and the significant progress of the repair was visible to the naked eye.

It was not until the alarm that had been set rang that Jiang Xiangyang raised his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The little ball waiting on the side finally spoke up, unstintingly praising him: "Without any backup equipment, he was able to connect the energy device in less than an hour. You're truly worthy of being Yangyang."

"No, I should say it's a good thing we have these useful tools." Jiang Xiangyang didn't take credit for it. He spun the mechanical pen nimbly between his fingers and smiled slyly. "It's also a good thing these tools have instructions for use next to them."

The small ball next to it could only applaud.

"But I didn't expect time to pass so quickly." Jiang Xiangyang rubbed his stomach. Thinking back to the warehouse full of nutrient solution and energy bars, he felt that life was almost shrouded in a haze. "I kind of miss Ah Hu's barbecue."

"Didn't Ah Hu and the others leave some food for Yang Yang?" Little Ball said, "They also said that they coated it with some plant juice so it wouldn't spoil quickly. Maybe it's still fresh now."

Jiang Xiangyang hardly needed to flip the micro-end, the first thing he could take out was definitely what Ah Hu and the others had stuffed in: "But I've never grilled meat before, I don't know how it will taste..." The animals on the new planet cannot be eaten, and there are not so many precious ingredients in reality for him to bother with. With Ah Hu's presence these days, he has lost the opportunity to do it himself.

"Practice is the only criterion for testing truth." The little ball urged, "Give it a try, give it a try."

Jiang Xiangyang was also eager to try cooking, and without much hesitation he happily looked for barbecue tools.

As the day rises and the sun sets, darkness rolls in, driving away the last ray of light in the sky, and the surroundings become dim.

There were searchlights around the flying ship. Since the little ball didn't have any lighting equipment, he installed a light on himself, turned on the light and floated around, indirectly playing the role of a ghost. Jiang Xiangyang still remembered the way Black Touch couldn't help laughing when the little ball made this request to him.

I always feel like my friend will be kidnapped one day in the future. What should I do?

Jiang Xiangyang found a relatively central location to put his things. He sat on the ground without feeling dirty, and then took out the "bonfire" he had made simply - the brackets were all made of metal, and the flames were replaced by high-power heat-conducting plates. It was non-natural but pollution-free, saving time and effort.

On a very high mountain, there are stars above the head, and a faint white light is emitted around the flying ship. The surroundings are lonely and quiet, and an alluring fragrance fills the air.

The stars formed a brilliant Milky Way in the sky. Jiang Xiangyang, who was turning the meat slices, couldn't help but look up at the starry sky, speechless.

Little Ball: "Yang yang yang yang, it's going to burn!"

Jiang Xiangyang reacted suddenly, and didn't know whether to adjust the temperature or turn the barbecue first. He fumbled around for a long time and finally got a burnt, half-cooked barbecue.

Looking at the waste food in his hands, Jiang Xiangyang felt so distressed that his heart was about to bleed. He poked the burnt part with a knife and said, "Ah, what should I do now?"

The little ball didn't say anything. The light in front of Jiang Xiangyang was suddenly covered by a shadow. He raised his head and saw a man he hadn't seen for a long time standing in front of the "bonfire", staring at him quietly with his inky eyes.

"Shang Yi..."

Looking at the other person's cold face, Jiang Xiangyang couldn't help but mutter his name. Under Shang Yi's half-focused gaze, he felt embarrassed as if he had been caught. He bit the bullet and said, "Um...Are you hungry? Do you want to eat together?"

Jiang Xiangyang thought the other party would refuse, but the man in front of him looked at him and actually said okay, and sat down on the ground like him.

Seeing the other person's neat clothes, as if they were cast in a mold, covered with dust, Jiang Xiangyang almost dropped his jaw in shock.

Shang Yi naturally took the tongs handed to him by Xiao Yuanqiu and cut off the burnt parts one by one with a knife. Then he looked at Jiang Xiangyang indifferently: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Xiangyang came back to his senses: "No, I just saw that you rarely come out."

Shang Yi said lazily: "You haven't seen me many times in total."

Jiang Xiangyang: “…” That’s true.

For some reason, Jiang Xiangyang found that Shang Yi was a little different tonight than usual. This change seemed to be directed at him, but it also seemed to be due to other reasons, but he didn't feel disgusted.

In the blink of an eye, Shang Yi finished processing the waste barbecue. Jiang Xiangyang looked at the barbecue that had been squeezed out of oil again, and his thoughtful expression turned into starry eyes of admiration. He did not try to show off his ability, but waited aside for food.

Looking at Jiang Xiangyang's eyes reflecting the starlight as he stared at the barbecue, Shang Yi curled the corners of his mouth imperceptibly.

Jiang Xiangyang munched on the barbecue contentedly, finding it tasted just as good as Ah Hu's. His understanding of Shang Yi's prowess was heightened. While chewing the barbecue, he asked vaguely, "Well, can you cook?"

Shang Yi didn't elaborate: "Well, I learned a little when I was interested."

"It tastes so good after just a little learning, it's amazing." Jiang Xiangyang exclaimed, his mouth kept eating, and most of the roasted meat was gone in the blink of an eye.

Shang Yi glanced at him, put the clip aside, and nodded, "It's your turn."

Jiang Xiangyang blinked blankly.

“Work in alternating shifts.”

Jiang Xiangyang: "Oh oh."

Jiang Xiangyang picked up the tongs without much hesitation. Then he seemed to remember something and grinned sheepishly: "But my craftsmanship is not very good. If you don't mind..."

Shang Yi looked at Jiang Xiangyang's unhesitating movements and smiled before speaking: "With me watching, nothing serious will happen."

The smile in his eyes was more intense than before. Jiang Xiangyang felt his face getting a little hot and hurried to turn over the barbecue.

In the end, 70% of the roasted meat actually went into the stomach of Shang Yi, who seemed to have little appetite. Jiang Xiangyang was responsible for being the chef throughout the whole process, not for anything else, but because after the first batch of finished products were roasted, Shang Yi chewed slowly for a while, and finally said "OK" to Jiang Xiangyang, who had been waiting anxiously.

Jiang Xiangyang didn't realize something was wrong until there were only three pieces of meat left on the board: "..."

Shang Yi stretched, apparently having satisfied his desire to talk, and stood up to leave. Before leaving, Jiang Xiangyang hurriedly asked, "By the way, when are we leaving?"

Turning sideways to look at Jiang Xiangyang, Shang Yi acted as if nothing was wrong: "Why, can't you wait to go back?"

"That's not the case..." Jiang Xiangyang was so confused by the complicated emotions in his heart that he couldn't explain it clearly.

Shang Yi didn't promise anything based on Jiang Xiangyang's idea, but said, "I encountered a little change, so I have to wait a little longer, about seven days."

"Seven days?" Jiang Xiangyang was stunned and couldn't help asking, "Then why are you letting me come back now?"

"Because of that incident, by the way, you can't go down the mountain for these seven days." Shang Yi seemed to have returned to his calm and indifferent appearance. He turned around and left without any explanation.

Jiang Xiangyang was left standing there, looking at his back, speechless.

He clearly heard Shang Yi say 'can't', not 'don't'.

I was wrong. I had to make up a class at the last minute. I can’t finish it today [covering my face]
