Xiang Fan coughed dryly, racked his brains for a long time, and finally uttered, "I... I'm really too busy. Work, moving, adapting to the environment, I'm really busy all the time."
Lu Qingli stared at him for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing.
"Alright, alright, I'm just teasing you." She sighed softly, her tone softening. "I know you don't like to trouble others, but you're really worrying."
Xiang Fan raised his head and saw a hint of helplessness on her face, and his heart warmed slightly. He pulled the corner of his mouth and whispered, "Senior Sister, actually... I really don't want you to worry about me."
"You..." Lu Qingli shook his head helplessly, then his eyes darkened and he said seriously, "Junior brother, don't forget, you saved the entire Yunxuan Star. They owe you a favor!"

Xiang Fan nodded vigorously: "Yeah, I understand!"
The two chatted for a while, until Xiang Fan yawned so long that he could hardly keep his eyes open. Lu Qingli smiled and waved her hand, "Alright, go to bed quickly, don't overwork yourself."
Xiang Fan rubbed his eyes, said good night in a daze, and then disconnected.
