Gu Zhilin recalled the time he met Shang Shixu and how that person had doubted him.
Subconsciously, he also felt that Zhu Jiangshuai was doubting him.
He then explained again, "Zeng Yan was with me when I was having my fortune told; she can testify for me."
"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking you, I don't mean to doubt you." General Zhu was taken aback by Gu Zhilin's explanation.
"So you're quite capable," he said with a hint of satisfaction.
Lu Jin'an frowned as she looked at Gu Zhilin. This man was always capricious and wouldn't offer so many explanations for no reason.
Did someone say something to him? Did they doubt him?
However, since Zhu Jiangshuai is here now, he didn't ask, and Gu Zhilin didn't bring it up either, so he probably didn't want to say either.
"It's still possible to predict whether it's good or bad." Gu Zhilin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the other party did not suspect him: "I was a little nervous at the time, so I cast a divination and found that his mission this time was quite dangerous, so I gave him a reminder. I didn't mean to spy on his mission."
General Zhu waved his hand: "This has nothing to do with the spy mission. I just want to know if we can let you do the calculations before each mission in the future?"
Gu Zhilin was stunned. Was this guy planning to take advantage of him?
"General Zhu, he's my partner. If you want to make predictions, go find Duan Nao. Don't enslave my partner." Lu Jin'an was displeased.
"Although Endbrain's predictions are accurate, they're not as detailed as his! Besides, how can we possibly rely on Endbrain for predictions every time we go on a mission? The cost of using Endbrain is too high." Zhu Jiangshuai pouted.
"My partner has low operating costs, right?" Lu Jin'an's face darkened.
"You're really something. I was just asking a question, and you're already taking sides." General Zhu pointed at Lu Jin'an and laughed angrily.
Gu Zhilin watched the two arguing over him for a long time before he finally reacted.
He then said to General Zhu, "Predicting good or bad fortune is no problem, but... I can't guarantee the accuracy of frequent predictions. If you need anything, you can contact me."
General Zhu was delighted and pointed at Gu Zhilin, saying to Lu Jin'an, "Look at your partner's awareness, it's so high."
"Don't take advantage of him just because he's easy to talk to, and don't ask him to predict all sorts of random things." Although Lu Jin'an was reluctant to see Gu Zhilin work so hard, he was still happy that the other party was able to make use of his abilities.
"Nonsense, our military isn't some kind of exploitative organization. Besides, his primary job is as a warship helmsman, no matter what." General Zhu glared at Lu Jin'an with annoyance.
Lu Jin'an then said, "By the way, it's best not to let too many people know that Gu Zhilin can predict this. It was fine before, but now he's even suspecting that someone on Earth has contact with Mars."
“If the Martians find out about Gu Zhilin’s existence, I’m worried that he’ll be their next target,” Lu Jin’an said with some concern.
After listening to this, General Zhu pondered for a moment and said, "You're right. It's best not to let too many people know about this for now."
When Gu Zhilin heard the two say that, he timidly raised his hand.
Lu Jin'an noticed his strange behavior and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
“First of all, Zeng Yan knows about this, but she probably won’t say anything. Also… I ran into Shang Shixu today. He seems to have some misunderstanding about me. He also seems to have heard the call I made to you before you left. I told him that I calculated it, but he doesn’t seem to believe me.”
Lu Jin'an and Zhu Jiangshuai both fell silent.
After a while, Lu Jin'an said, "Shang Shixu is a bit arrogant. He always thought he was the only one who was close to becoming my partner. Now that you've appeared, it's normal for him to be hostile towards you."
"If you run into him again and he makes things difficult for you, just stand up for him. But he's probably not the type to gossip about it. After all, he doesn't believe in your mystical abilities."
After Lu Jin'an's analysis, Zhu Jiangshuai also felt that it made sense: "I know that kid. Although he has an awkward personality, he is not a bad person."
Gu Zhilin nodded upon hearing this: "Yes, I can tell."
The three discussed the Martian assassin they had captured for a while, until Zhu Jiangshuai's AI communication beeped, signaling that he needed to attend a meeting, at which point he got up to leave.
Before leaving, he couldn't help but turn back to look at Gu Zhilin: "Little Gu! Can you figure out who the mole is?"
Gu Zhilin was speechless for a moment, then shook his head: 'No.'
"Then you still need to keep working hard." General Zhu didn't feel like he was making things difficult for Gu Zhilin at all; on the contrary, he encouraged Gu Zhilin to study hard.
Lu Jin'an was so angry at these words that she gritted her teeth: "What does it have to do with Gu Zhilin that he has no ability to find the mole?"
General Zhu snorted lightly: "So protective of his own."
Then they left.
Only after General Zhu left did Gu Zhilin whisper, "Actually, General Zhu was right. I still need to work harder."
"How much more effort do you need to put in?" Lu Jin'an turned around and glared at him: "You already predicted that there would be trouble for me, and you even figured out how to solve it. You're already very capable."
But Gu Zhilin shook his head: "But I was not able to minimize the trouble at the time, and you still suffered such serious injuries."
Lu Jin'an felt sorry for the man in front of her who looked so guilty: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. It's already amazing that you're willing to come to the army to be my partner. Other things are not within your job scope."
Gu Zhilin simply nodded without offering any further response.
Seeing his expression, Lu Jin'an knew that he hadn't listened at all. Noticing his tired appearance, she said, "Why don't you sleep and rest here for a while? Judging from your complexion, you haven't had a good rest."
Gu Zhilin glanced around the ward. There was only one bed, and he couldn't very well share one with another patient: "Forget it, it's not very convenient. I'll just sit and rest for a bit."
Lu Jin'an ignored him and pressed the communication button, instructing the caregiver to bring in another cot.
“You sleep here now, I’ll watch you sleep. If I let you go back, you definitely won’t rest properly.” He pointed to the newly brought-in cot and said in a commanding tone.
Gu Zhilin was both amused and exasperated by his behavior, but he still obediently climbed onto the bed, lay down, and closed his eyes.
"I think I can't sleep." He was about to open his eyes.
But then Lu Jin'an's voice rang out again: "Don't open your eyes, relax and go to sleep."
Then he felt a large hand press on his temple, gently massaging it.
This feeling is very comfortable.
Gu Zhilin, who hadn't been sleepy at first, gradually started to feel drowsy under Lu Jin'an's massage.
She yawned softly before slowly drifting off to sleep.
As Lu Jin'an rubbed his temples, she looked at his sleeping face and thought to herself how handsome he was, and she couldn't get enough of looking at him.
