Jiang Zheyu sulked in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, feeling melancholy.
Because the female lead he liked was different from the one he met in real life, he felt heartbroken, like someone who had met him online but never met him in person.
She silently closed the French windows and slowly walked to the bed. She decided to just go to sleep first.
Jiang Zheyu also remembered who the man beside the female lead was. The villain with gray eyes could only be Gray, the leader of the Star Pirate Organization that the female lead followed before she reformed.
Star Pirates was originally an illegal space pirate organization without a star-gathering license. Later, thanks to the female lead, it was incorporated into the Empire and is now a legitimate large company. The boss of Star Pirates is the man from earlier, who has also become the highest executive of this large company.
The leader of Star Investment, Gray, originally had pink eyes, but he didn't like those harmless pink eyes, so he had surgery to replace them with mechanical eyes of a different color. So those grayish-white eyes are actually mechanical eyes.
Interstellar technology is so advanced that even mechanical eyes look almost identical to ordinary eyes. You could say that you can't tell that they've been surgically altered. The only differences are their unique color and other functions, such as the ability to see farther and in greater detail.
Of course, these mechanical eyes require expensive maintenance every year.
Jiang Zheyu remembered that this gray-haired girl, like the female lead, came from the slums.
Now that they've risen from the slums to a high position, have they forgotten their origins?
She laughed in exasperation. If anyone's a dirty little mouse, it's him!
Grey used to live in a slum, in a stinking ditch! He was always stealing, fighting, and eyeing other people's valuables. He wasn't a good person at all!
He's the real filthy little rat who's eyeing others!
As the female lead becomes more and more outstanding and more and more people around her like her, this guy feels both inferior and sensitive.
Jiang Zheyu muttered some complaints about them under her breath before finally feeling at ease enough to go to sleep.
She lay back on the bed, thinking about how she would be staying here for another two months, and that the female lead would be staying in the palace next door for who knows how long, feeling like she could run into her at any moment. She also wondered if the little princess of the empire on the other side would suddenly go crazy in the middle of the night.
Jiang Zheyu: ...
Three palaces, three women—what a grand spectacle!
She should move out and not participate in this show.
She'll apply to leave the palace tomorrow!
This time I finally slept soundly until dawn.
Jiang Zheyu finished washing up nicely and changed into a casual, loose-fitting dark red outfit.
The red color made her skin appear even whiter, and her beautiful, delicate face was not overshadowed by the red at all; instead, it made the red dress look more sophisticated.
The main thing is to change the color.
Jiang Zheyu walked out of the room and into the living room, where she found breakfast already laid out on the table.
Xiao Luo came forward, her pink eyes sparkling as she looked at her, a gentle smile on her face: "Good morning, Your Highness Zheyu. Breakfast is ready, please come and have your meal."
"Good morning." Jiang Zheyu smiled slightly and greeted Xiao Luo. She noticed the food on the table. "Wasn't today's breakfast a nutritional supplement?"
I wonder what makes the breakfast food in the palace different from the breakfast food of other people?
Jiang Zheyu walked to the dining table and sat down, while Xiao Luo helped her set out the dishes.
"I heard that Your Highness Zheyu used to enjoy certain foods, so Xiao Luo specially arranged for some. I hope you will like them," Xiao Luo said softly.
Jiang Zheyu didn't really have high hopes, but she didn't want to disappoint Xiao Luo's good intentions.
She still used her fork to pick up the vegetables and put them in her mouth.
A moment later, she silently put down her fork.
"Sweetie, let's just take the nutritional supplements." Jiang Zheyu smiled gently and harmlessly at Xiao Luo.
Xiao Luo naturally understood. He had been too presumptuous, thinking that the female would like it. His eyelashes drooped slightly, and his body bowed slightly. His voice was extremely humble: "I'm sorry, Your Highness. I won't dare to do it again next time. I'll go and get you a new nutrient solution right away."
"Huh?" Jiang Zheyu exclaimed in surprise.
No, that's not what she meant.
However, Xiao Luo had already gone to get the nutritional supplements.
Jiang Zheyu could only wait until he brought the nutrient solution over before explaining things to him properly. She didn't feel that his behavior made her angry.
Young man, don't be so sensitive and insecure.
Ugh, not "young man," um, what's that called again? I can't seem to find the right adjective.
Xiao Luo's appearance is always so deceptive that sometimes Jiang Zheyu subconsciously forgets that he is over a hundred years old.
"Your Highness Zheyu, these are all the nutritional supplements you used to like to drink." Xiao Luo brought out a row of nutritional supplements for Jiang Zheyu to choose from.
"Thank you." Jiang Zheyu took a strawberry-flavored nutritional supplement.
When she saw Xiao Luo preparing the food on the table, she quickly explained, "I didn't mean to blame you just now. I'm not angry. Please don't take it to heart."
Xiao Luo paused slightly as she processed the food on the table.
In fact, the female doesn't need to explain to him, much less apologize.
“Your Highness, you don’t need to explain to Xiao Luo.” Xiao Luo smiled lightly. “Xiao Luo didn’t take it to heart either, so you don’t need to worry about it too much.”
"That's good, that's good." Jiang Zheyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Luo lowered his eyes slightly. Why would His Highness care about his thoughts? Was it because he cared about him?
In fact, Xiao Luo understood that Prince Zheyu was just friendly and polite, and did not care about him as much as he thought.
It's just that thinking this way makes him feel a little happier.
Princess Zheyu cares about him, and the thought of it fills him with joy.
"Have Commander Su and Captain Feng not returned yet?" Jiang Zheyu asked Xiao Luo beside him with a puzzled look while drinking his nutrient solution.
"Your Highness, Commander Su and Captain Feng have not yet returned," Xiao Luo replied softly.
After Xiao Luo finished speaking, two figures walked in from outside.
I was just talking about those two people, and they're back now.
"What did you guys do last night?" Jiang Zheyu asked curiously.
"Let's have a simple spar." Su Yan walked to Jiang Zheyu's side, cupped her face in his large hand, took out a silk handkerchief, and gently bent down to wipe the corner of her mouth. His movements were extremely gentle. "Yuyu, the strawberry nutrient solution has overflowed."
Jiang Zheyu swallowed the last bite of the strawberry supplement, looked at Su Yan who was carefully wiping the corner of her lips with his eyes lowered, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she coughed lightly: "Thank you."
