Chapter 442: The Star Girl in the Interstellar Story (18)
On the other side, Feng Lijin was distracted frequently.
Zhou Ting's words still had some impact on him.
Su Yu likes him? When Feng Lijin first heard the news, his first reaction was that he was joking.
Feng Lijin felt mostly gratitude and pity for the girl he brought back from the polluted planet. He felt sorry for her because she was abandoned by her parents since childhood and grew up on a polluted planet surrounded by strange beasts.
As for other emotions...
When Feng Lijin joined the legion, he swore an oath that as long as the monsters did not retreat, he would never consider personal feelings.
Besides, how could a man like him, who might die in a battle with a wave of monsters tomorrow, make a promise to others? It would only waste other people's time.
"Li Jin, what are you thinking about?" The leader's words interrupted Feng Li Jin's thoughts.
Feng Lijin quickly came to his senses and said in a deep voice, "I was thinking about the research institute. Three strange beasts escaped in one night. Because of their negligence, three innocent people died and many people were injured. Until now, there is no reasonable explanation. Doesn't the head of state think that the research institute is a bit too lawless?"
The leader smiled faintly: "You are still so hateful and hateful."
Feng Lijin looked at her: "Do you think what I said is wrong?"
The head of state shook her head. The years had left traces on her face, which made her look even more majestic. “I have ordered the institute to stop research on exotic animals and strengthen its defenses to ensure that what happened yesterday will never happen again.”
Feng Lijin was not satisfied with this nonchalant way of handling the matter, but he also understood that the higher-ups were supportive of the research institute.
Without them, there would be no advanced anti-pollution equipment today, let alone dealing with alien plants and beasts born from pollution.
Overall, the existence of the institute has more advantages than disadvantages.
…
After leaving the head of state, Feng Lijin's face looked extremely cold, like ice, which made people retreat away from him.
As expected, the people from the research institute revealed Su Yu's existence.
Fortunately, he had made preparations in advance and arranged an identity for Su Yu, pretending that she was an ordinary person who was sucked into the polluted planet by the black hole like himself, and he barely got away with it.
After dialing Zhou Ting's number, Feng Lijin said calmly, "Please take care of her for the next few days. I have some things to do and cannot spare you time. I will pay for all the expenses. There is only one thing you need to pay attention to, don't let anyone from the research institute get in touch with her."
"Ah?" Zhou Ting was stunned.
With a beep, the communication was disconnected.
Zhou Ting didn't understand what Feng Lijin meant.
Looking down at Su Yu who was looking expectant, he said hesitantly: "The general has important matters to attend to recently and cannot spare time. I ask you to follow me obediently..."
The voice became smaller and smaller under Su Yu's increasingly dangerous and fierce gaze.
Zhou Ting swallowed and said, "How about I let the general talk to you in person?"
He quickly dialed Feng Lijin's number and said, "General, I can't handle this. The little girl will tear me to pieces. Come back soon and talk to her in person."
Even if you don't like the girl, you should make it clear in person and then keep your distance. You are alienating her without saying anything, leaving the girl all alone in the Imperial Star without any relatives. What a scumbag!
Feng Lijin was silent for a moment: "Tell her that I will pick her up in a week."
A week was enough time for him to cut off the hands of the research institute reaching into the legion.
"A week later? General... General!"
The call was disconnected again, and Zhou Ting looked at Su Yu awkwardly: "Did you hear that?"
Su Yu slowly lowered her eyes, looking gloomy, turned her head and walked forward without saying a word.
Zhou Ting hurriedly chased after her: "Little aunt, where are you going?"
For three consecutive days, Feng Lijin only showed up once.
Seeing the familiar figure, Su Yu left Zhou Ting, who was trying to cheer her up, and chased after him, knocking away two guard robots on the way, and grabbed his arm: "Feng Lijin."
Feng Lijin stopped and paused for two seconds, then nodded to the two subordinates beside him: "You go ahead and do as I say."
The two of them left tactfully.
Feng Lijin turned around and lowered his eyes to look at the girl. His eyes were still clean and clear, and he could see through her at a glance. He could also clearly see the anger in them and the accusation against himself for disappearing for three days without saying a word.
He raised a gentle smile as before, as if he had never disappeared for three days, and had never deliberately avoided her: "Have you listened to Zhou Ting these days?"
Zhou Ting chased after them, but stood not far away and didn't get close, giving the two men some space.
Su Yu stared at him with her dark eyes: "Where have you been?"
"Sorry, I've been busy these past few days."
Feng Lijin did not answer where he was going. In fact, he did not go anywhere these days and only stayed in the legion.
The surroundings were very quiet, and Su Yu looked up at him steadily.
"I don't like it here anymore."
Su Yu said this for the second time, her voice serious, and her clear spring-like eyes were gloomy. She seemed to not understand why Feng Lijin, who had been so good to her before, suddenly began to distance himself from her?
The toys are becoming more and more disobedient.
Feng Lijin was silent for a while, then he asked softly, "Isn't it fun here?"
Su Yu stared at him for a long time and pushed him away: "I hate you."
After saying that, he turned and ran away.
Zhou Ting looked at this, then looked at that, sighed heavily, and walked towards Feng Lijin: "General, what are you doing?"
The slender figure quickly disappeared from sight.
Feng Lijin's silver-gray eyes moved, and he said in a calm voice: "I am clearing out the minions of the research institute that have penetrated into the army. It is not a good idea to involve her in this matter. She is already eye-catching enough. It will be dangerous if she gets too close to me."
Zhou Ting was puzzled: "Then why don't you just tell her directly?"
Feng Lijin shook his head: "She relies on me too much, but I can't take care of her forever. After a while, I will find a family to adopt her. I will also continue to have people investigate her identity."
"In the future, she should learn to be independent."
Regardless of whether Su Yu really likes him, Feng Lijin cannot make any promises.
"She is too naive, and she grew up in such an environment. She relies on and likes me because I am the first person of the same kind she has come into contact with, but I cannot let this ruin her life."
Zhou Ting was right. In Feng Lijin's heart, no one could compare to the responsibility on his shoulders.
After the brief meeting, Feng Lijin became even busier.
Su Yu was so busy that she only thought of him when she saw a long string of zeros in her computer account.
Unfortunately, she has been living in the legion and has few opportunities to spend money.
Occasionally, one could hear people in the legion talking about her, either curious about her identity or whether she really had no mental power.
Su Yu ignored them all and stayed alone most of the time.
Zhou Ting also has his own things to do and can't always be with her.
"I want to go back." She said to Feng Lijin.
When Zhou Ting is not around, Feng Lijin will come to accompany her.
The claws of the research institute were chopped off, and Feng Lijin handed her a lollipop: "Try it, it's very sweet."
Su Yu bared her teeth and turned her head heavily: "I said I want to go back."
"Where are you going back to?" Feng Lijin asked knowingly.
"None of your business! You're lying. This place is not fun at all."
Su Yu lowered her eyes to look at the lollipop that was handed to her mouth, and suddenly she bit it down fiercely. A hissing sound came from her ears. Su Yu did not let go until her tongue tasted blood, and then she slowly let go after a long time.
The lollipop in front of him was intact, but the hand holding it was bloody.
