Xia Chujian said awkwardly, "Well, Qilin, don't be angry. I just remembered seeing that trending search. I was busy with the college entrance examination at the time and didn't have time to congratulate you. Today, I finally get to see you, so shouldn't I congratulate you right away? - If I congratulated the wrong person, please be magnanimous and understand that I haven't slept for more than 20 hours and now I have no idea what I'm saying..."
After Quan Yuxun finished speaking, he was also stunned.
He hadn't swore in public since he was ten years old.
But after cursing, he felt pretty good.
Anyway, it wasn't the first time he had made a fool of himself before Xia Chu met him.
You'll get used to it after going out for a while.
He rubbed his brows and smiled, saying, "It's indeed too late. Lack of sleep can make people lose their vigilance and irritable. Yuanbao, please forgive me for my careless words just now. To express my apology, tomorrow night, I will treat you and your teammates to dinner and opera at the best club in Changliu County."
Before Xia Chujian could express her opinion, Quan Yuxun rushed in to say, "Actually, with your aunt's cooking skills, you probably wouldn't think much of our food. But the advantage there is that the ingredients are unique and fresh. What's more, you can enjoy the latest opera rehearsed by the First Song and Dance Troupe of Zangge Star while you eat."
Xia Chujian said hurriedly, "That's exactly what we wanted. We arrived ten days early and were still wondering how to spend those ten days. Since Chief Quan is so kind, we can't refuse."
Quan Yuxun nodded. "Then you should rest. I was inconsiderate today and shouldn't have come to talk to you so late. I thought you would not fall asleep so quickly after being woken up by Ruoan and drinking black coffee."
Xia Chujian said, "That black coffee doesn't seem to work for me. If I wasn't forcing myself, I could fall asleep right here."
Quan Yuxun waved his hand and said, "Alright, I understand. No need to rush me. I can leave on my own."
He turned and walked away slowly, his tall and slender figure standing out under the starry sky.
Xia Chujian was in no mood to admire Quan Yuxun's back.
As soon as he left, Xia Chujian hurried back to her bedroom.
After washing up again, she lay down on the bed exhausted.
Finally I can get some sleep.
However, before falling asleep, she still remembered to send a message to Meng Guanghui's quantum optical computer number.
Xia Chujian: Commander, I'm in trouble again! I flew across the asteroid belt between Kanli and Zangge in just twelve hours, but was framed by the base's deputy chief instructor, Zhuo Wangying, and nearly killed by the high-altitude ion beam cannon on Zangge!
She planned to go to bed after sending it.
The result was a reply within seconds.
[Meng Guanghui]: Twelve hours? Are you dreaming?
Xia Chujian: “…”
Who is this?
Coming back so quickly?!
This tone doesn't sound like Meng Guanghui at all.
Xia Chujian felt a subtle mood.
Could it be that Meng Guanghui hasn’t returned yet?
Is he still on that pocket planet?
Or went somewhere else?
At this point, she had a rough idea of who was replying to her, but she couldn't point it out herself.
Because of Huo Yushen's keenness, Xia Chujian was worried that her last bit of secret would be lost.
She tried her luck and calmed herself down.
Then continue messaging.
Xia Chujian: Commander, can we video chat? I'm currently staying at the Quan family manor on Zangge Star, waiting for the rest of the base's trainees to fly over. Based on their speed, I'll probably have to wait another ten days.
It was daytime on Beichen Star at this time.
Huo Yushen sat in his office, looking at the message Xia Chujian received, and fell into deep thought.
He knew that there was a regular training program at the flight training base outside the city of Jialuo on Kanli Star, which indeed required flying over the asteroid belt between Kanli Star and Zangge Star.
He also knew that this training had just begun.
But Xia Chujian now told him that she was already in the Quan family manor on Zangge Star...
Suddenly, Huo Yushen seemed to remember something. He quickly opened the internal network of the Special Security Bureau and searched for several top-secret messages he had seen recently.
"According to stargazers, the asteroid belt between Kanli and Zangge has experienced dramatic energy fluctuations over the past twelve hours. This is likely related to the largest magnetic storm ever experienced by the asteroid belt."
"At least one new small wormhole has been created in this asteroid belt."
"The shockwaves generated by the energy fluctuations have affected the star fighter training at the Kanli Star Flight Training Base. Dozens of them have already fired over a dozen flares, withdrawing from the training."
"But the interstellar airship that the base sent to the asteroid belt for rescue is also missing."
"The stargazers suggest that the Special Security Bureau dispatch elite flight personnel from the Wilderness Group into the asteroid belt to assist in the search and investigate the cause of this magnetic storm."
Huo Yushen frowned, wondering if these top-secret messages had something to do with Xia Chujian...
Since the news involved this level of security, Huo Yushen finally sent a message to Xia Chujian.
[Meng Guanghui]: I'm Huo Yushen. Your leader, Meng Guanghui, just left for a mission, and his quantum optical computer is with me. Before he left, he asked me to reply to your message. I'm sending you a video call invitation now.
When Xia Chujian saw this message, she couldn't help but laugh and secretly gave herself a thumbs up in her heart.
This was the first time she forced Huo Yushen to take off his vest...
Hehe, it feels so good.
Xia Chujian replied immediately.
Xia Chujian: Ahhhh! What's going on?! It's actually Huo Shuai?! When did my boss go on a mission? What mission? I'm his subordinate, and he didn't even take me with him?! Does my boss no longer want me?!
