Lu Mingming stopped chewing, a sense of unease suddenly rising in her heart.
This is an experience gained from previous experiences.
She quickly shared the snacks she had on her hand, trying to shut the other person up: "I think this plum is delicious, do you want to try some?"
"Since my sister says it's delicious, it must be really good."
Yi Fu unceremoniously reached out his claws towards the food in Lu Mingming's hand, his eyes fixed on Lu Mingming, slowly sucking and licking away the sugar frosting on the surface of the plum.
Those wolf-like eyes stared intently at Lu Mingming without moving, instantly raising goosebumps on her skin. A jolt of electricity coursed through her limbs, giving her the illusion of being eaten by a wolf.
"It really is delicious."
Yi Fu tore off a napkin and spat out the small core. In his words, all the intense aggression in his body subsided, and he returned to the friendly demeanor of a large golden retriever.
Was that just my imagination, or am I overthinking things lately...?
Lu Mingming withdrew her hand and numbly continued eating the food in her mouth.
However, the next moment, Yi Fu's voice entered her ears again, attracting her attention.
"My sister didn't answer me. Among us, who is your favorite?"
Yi Fu leaned closer, his lips noticeably downturned, and a pitiful look appeared in his pure eyes, as if he were reflecting on why he couldn't win his master's favor.
“I’ve been here the least, so I definitely haven’t spent as much time with you as my brothers and sisters, but I’m trying my best to get closer to you. Sister, you can’t leave me all alone here.”
After saying that, those eyes blinked.
"Besides, they're so amazing, they probably don't have much time to spend with my sister, right? But I'm different, I have plenty of free time to go out and play with my sister."
Lu Mingming faintly smelled a refreshing aroma of tea.
Some people actually found that the filling inside was matcha flavored.
Lu Mingming snapped out of her reverie at the absurd thoughts that had been running through her mind.
"What are you saying?"
She tried to dodge the question.
"The meeting mentioned that you've joined a mysterious organization. Why don't you tell me about it?"
"That one."
The nature of the clothing was visibly reduced, and he explained roughly: "We are responsible for investigating various anomalies throughout interstellar space. You can simply understand it as: the stranger the place, the more likely we are to find an answer."
"Isn't that very dangerous?"
"Lu Mingming said."
Would you go to a place like Mermaid Treasure?
"certainly…"
Yi Fu deliberately dragged out his words.
“I haven’t been there, but our previous president did. He went to the Mermaid Treasure Trove for the first time and returned alive, leaving behind a diary and related documents.”
"The previous president was so amazing!"
Lu Mingming had a deep impression of this person, having heard from Morian many times about his glorious deeds as the first person to escape the Mermaid Territory.
Thinking of this, Lu Mingming recalled Yi Fu's skillful throwing knife technique in the parallel world, and the dangerous aura of someone who smiled on the surface but easily killed people behind the scenes.
She casually asked, "If we hadn't met in that meteor shower, would your attitude towards me have changed?"
It's like in a parallel world, where coercion is used to justify a single discovery, making it easy to take a life.
Yi Fu stood there, stunned: "Well..."
"If you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to answer."
Lu Mingming kindly reminded her that she hadn't actually expected to hear the answer.
I thought Yi Fu was just talking casually, but I didn't expect him to think about it seriously for a moment before replying.
"Things may change, but eventually I'll go back to how I feel about my sister. My attitude towards her will always be the same!"
Yi revealed two small tiger teeth, clearly quite satisfied with his answer.
"That sounds a bit odd..."
Lu Mingming muttered something to himself, but didn't dare to reply.
Yi Fu smiled without saying a word, and the two of them silently ate the food from the fruit plate.
Blue Star is a long distance away from Xingfu Star. It took until I woke up to reach Xingfu Star's docking port.
Last time, Lu Mingming was one of Xing Fuxing's top generals and won the first place in the nursery teacher competition. As a result, Xing Fuxing received investment from many well-known wealthy businessmen.
All the reception centers along the route to the port of call were renovated to look brand new, and even the aircraft on the road were all rushed to be replaced with the most advanced technology that was closest to that of the main planet.
Upon their arrival, Orannar's forces stationed on Xingfu Star immediately dispatched private aircraft to pick up Lu Mingming and Yi Fu, dutifully transporting them to the Sader Royal Academy.
Star Chief 1 received the message early and specially disguised himself to wait at the entrance of the Royal Academy.
Beside her were the former dean and Cheng Shiqin, who had already been promoted to vice dean.
"Who is this important person who came today? Did the Star Lord really need to come out and greet them personally?"
"I do have some information, but I can't guarantee it."
Mrs. Salche chuckled, her eyes filled with anticipation as the distant aircraft drew near.
The aircraft slowly came to a safe stop, and Yi Fu carefully put on a series of safety equipment for Lu Mingming.
He first disembarked from the aircraft to survey the surroundings and ensure safety before extending his hand to invite Lu Mingming, behaving like a bodyguard.
If one doesn't overlook his deliberately amusing glances and his imitation of the comedic expressions in TV dramas, Lu Mingming would be more inclined to believe that the other party is investigating.
"Reporting to Sister, there is no danger ahead, we can continue."
"You rascal, always acting silly at times like this."
Lu Mingming chuckled and cursed, then turned his gaze to the academy gate—
There stood three of her old acquaintances.
