Normal (crossed out) one-sided communication
"I...I don't know how." Even though that's what she thought, she couldn't help feeling guilty and short of breath in front of her boss, and she made the most basic mistake at work: "I forgot to record."
"Recording? The equipment in the conference room will record automatically."
"You..." Why didn't you say so earlier?
The dissenting voices suddenly fell silent upon seeing the other party's imposing military uniform.
Never mind, he's my boss.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Alina's sullen expression, a smile flashed in Chu Yanbing's cold phoenix eyes, and his voice was lazy and indifferent.
"Nothing," Alina blurted out reflexively, only to realize that she actually was something.
She has the recording, but she doesn't know where she got it from!
Chu Yanbing, who was keeping a close eye on Alina, naturally noticed the sudden change in her expression. Her butterfly-like silver eyelashes drooped slightly, and the content on the split screen in front of her remained motionless.

"I don't know where to find the recordings."
Alina, who had been trying to come up with an excuse, found that she couldn't find a decent one. Realizing that this wasn't her field of expertise and that it was normal for her not to know, Alina simply asked for help.
Chu Yanbing hadn't expected Alina to be so direct. A smile flickered in the corner of his eye, and he said in a cold, magnetic voice, "Come here."
Seeing that Alina was about to walk over without taking anything, Chu Yanbing reminded her, "Bring the chair over too."
Knowing that bending over would be uncomfortable, Alina turned around and dragged the chair over with her.
"Reach out your hand."
His usual cool tone at the end of his voice would inadvertently rise slightly, and his casual voice was like a clingy cat's tail, making one's ears tingle.
"?"
Alina rubbed her pointed ears, a clear look of confusion appearing on her slightly pale, pretty face.
What do you need her hands for?
"Optical computer".
Chu Yanbing smiled and reminded him.
"oh oh."
Alina then realized what was happening and extended her left hand.
A burning sensation came from above the wrist with the quantum computer; the man's long, beautiful hand was holding it.
Alina felt very uncomfortable. Apart from fighting, she rarely had contact with men, let alone Chu Yanbing, who was a complete stranger to her.
Today is our first real meeting.
Time ticked by, and Alina grew impatient as she watched the other person's fingers still working on her personal computer: It's not done yet.
Perhaps sensing Alina's impatience, Chu Yanbing withdrew his hands and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Alright."
Upon hearing this, Alina quickly withdrew her hand, placing her left hand in front of her lower abdomen, where it was successfully concealed by the relatively tall desk.
"Thanks."
After politely thanking her, Alina took her chair and successfully returned to her desk.
Some things, when you deliberately forget or ignore them, will only become more and more noticeable.
Alina felt as if there were downy hairs rubbing against the skin on her left wrist. She tried to resist, but eventually couldn't help herself and rubbed her left wrist vigorously with her right hand, successfully giving her fair skin a rosy blush.
After feeling better, Alina lowered her eyes to look at the recording she had "laboriously" obtained on the computer screen.
She turned on the recording, and an orderly but slightly noisy sound came from it. Alina quickly pressed the blue box for "Privacy (Personal Only)" with her right hand, and then turned her head to look in Chu Yanbing's direction.
I hope I didn't disturb him.
The handsome officer, whose features were as white as frost and as white as snow, did not show any particular expression at first glance.
Alina secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though it was just a fake image, she felt embarrassed to disturb other people's work.
Hearing the familiar sounds of a meeting, Alina couldn't help but marvel at the intelligence of the beings in this world.
Without any other tools or operations, the sound became something only she could hear.
Awesome!
Since it was a virtual job and the language she was hearing was a new one she had just learned, Alina didn't think she could finish taking meeting minutes in such a short time.
After all, she had never written one before, and she didn't even know what meeting minutes looked like.
She simply wanted to learn more about languages, and she felt embarrassed to just sit there doing nothing.
If the light green desks and chairs in the clean and tidy office, almost devoid of human presence, are a touch of bright, slightly lively light, then the aloof girl in a dark green military uniform with a single side braid in a forest-inspired style is like a dazzling crescent moon, instantly bringing a ray of light to the cold and somewhat oppressive space.
Time ticked by, and looking at the large blank spaces on the draft paper, Alina missed her low-end personal computer terrestrial ...
A hollow rumbling came from her stomach. Alina touched her stomach and clearly felt the hunger.
Looking up at the man working diligently, Alina felt an indescribable anticipation, but this time the machine didn't quite bring her into reality.
Are you hungry?
A moment later, Alina, who was lost in thought, heard a familiar male voice.
"Mmm, I'm hungry."
"Let's go to the cafeteria."
With her little tail following her, Chu Yanbing headed straight for the military canteen.
Along the way, she encountered many men and women wearing the same or similar military uniforms, but Alina didn't pay much attention to them, since she knew they were all fake.
She only needed to take care of this virtual boss, because she figured the real person was probably watching in the live stream.
As Alina entered the cafeteria, she felt that something was amiss.
Led by the man, Alina successfully received a plate of fresh fruits and vegetables, along with different jams she made during her live stream.
Don't you want it?
Alina was very puzzled when she saw the man with empty hands.
"I don't eat vegetarian food."
"Not even a little bit?"
Most intelligent beings are omnivorous, so why doesn't he eat anything? Alina wondered.
"I can eat it, but I don't like it."
Having been fed fruit more than once, Chu Yanbing certainly wasn't incapable of eating vegetarian food.
"You should eat something, otherwise it's not good for your health."
Thinking of the two furry creatures, one cute and the other fierce, Alina asked with concern as she followed them to the window for the meat dishes.
"Okay, whatever you say."
As Chu Yanbing said this, the two of them walked to the window where the meat dishes were served, where a dark-colored robot was serving food.
As the two large bowls were filled, Alina was somewhat stunned, but at the same time, she realized what her gut feeling was wrong.
In her world, the human canteen, though not as fragrant as her friend's cooking, still had the aroma of food.
But here you can only smell a faint aroma of seasonings and a strong smell of raw meat.
"Do you eat this much?"
When Alina asked this question, none of the people who witnessed the scene noticed anything amiss, since she had been feeding the marshal in the manner of his imitation.
Chu Yanbing's steps faltered for a moment. Did she not like eating a lot?
Recalling the differential treatment Lu Jingbai and others received, Chu Yanbing felt that he had found the key to the problem.
"No, it was for someone else."
If it weren't for Alina being there, Chu Yanbing would definitely have had lunch with a nutrient solution as usual.
It's okay to eat a little less; you can just drink the nutrient solution later.
Others?
Who eats so much?
Alina was somewhat shocked, but she simply hadn't seen it before and didn't mean anything by it.
He watched silently as Chu Yanbing took a smaller plate and made another serving.
Thornke was immediately stuffed with two full plates of meat as soon as he entered: "?" What's going on?
"For you."
"For me?"
Is the Zerg about to go extinct?
Thornke was shocked.
Ignoring the shocked Thornke, Chu Yanbing turned around and was about to lead Alina to find a seat.
In the holographic experience center, Alina replaced Legge's role, so Thornke knew Alina.
I also know I shouldn't be a third wheel between the two of them.
So, although he was very puzzled, he didn't say anything and obediently found a place to eat lunch.
Thornke thought to himself: Goodness, he must be the first person to have his meal personally served by the Marshal, right? Of course, his sweetheart is an exception.
Aren't you going to get some vegetables?
Alina was puzzled. Didn't she just agree? Why did she sit down?
"I don't eat much, can you share some with me?"
The slightly cold, deep male voice carried a hint of pleading, and even his icy tone softened considerably.
"Yes, that's fine."
It's just a small matter anyway.
The viewers in the live stream had been cheering excitedly for a while because they discovered that Alina could have simple conversations in the interstellar common language.
With the audience so excited, Chu Yanbing and the others were naturally even happier.
Finally, we can have normal (crossed out) one-way communication.
"Which one do you want to eat?" Alina asked.
"It will be all right."
Either is fine. Let's have this one and this one, they're both her favorites.
When she was getting her food, she found it quite a coincidence that she recognized almost all the vegetarian dishes.
What Alina didn't know was that the military canteen in reality didn't have a vegetarian food window; this vegetarian food window was completely tailor-made for her.
"Is it tasty?"
Alina's rosy eyes sparkled, and her face unconsciously showed an expectant look seeking affirmation.
"tasty."
"That's good."
After a morning of intense mental work, Alina relaxed and discovered her breakthrough.
She...it seems...she came in using a foreign language today.
Alina's crimson eyes shone brightly. She thought to herself: It seems that the language environment is very important. If she comes in a few more times, she should be able to master this language perfectly in about a month!
In that case, next time I'll choose "campus" and go in to learn some knowledge.
She really didn't want to get involved in any of the "mysterious tasks" at work.
After finishing lunch at a steady pace, robots will clean up the plates and tables.
After the virtual nap time, Alina emerged from the small bedroom inside her boss's office.
I glanced at the time and felt a little relieved; at least I hadn't overslept.
"Walk."
Watching Alina emerge from her bedroom, Chu Yanbing felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
"Where are you going?"
Alina was puzzled.
"To the training room."
Alina's eyes lit up: Training? Isn't that just sparring (fighting)?
She likes it.
Suppressing her excitement, Alina unconsciously forgot about the strange thing she had noticed before going to bed.
