Chapter 35
The moon is high in the sky.
After Ye Yan fell asleep, Qin Su slowly opened her eyes.
If someone were to make eye contact with her at this moment, they would find that her eyes are clear and bright, without the slightest hint of sleepiness.
A faint meow came from the bow of the ship, as if the cat was hesitating whether to approach.
Qin Su communicated with it using her consciousness: "Tong'er, come here."
The snow-white cat leaped nimbly to Qin Su's side.
It glanced at Ye Yan, slightly surprised: "I thought you guys..."
Qin Su knew what it meant and said frankly, "That was my original plan, but Ye Yan refused."
The cat's eyes widened in disbelief.
It usually follows Qin Su around and knows the situation between the two of them very well.
Once Ye Yan had tasted the sweetness of it, he became incredibly proactive; how could he possibly refuse?
Its cat-like face looked confused: "Why?"
Qin Su knew it didn't quite understand the complexities of human emotions, so she explained it to it concisely.
"Lust, lust, passion comes first, desire comes second."
Those who only have desires are unintelligent beasts, not humans. The superiority of humans lies in their pursuit of emotional fulfillment.
As many people say, liking is unrestrained, while love is restraint.
Cats don't understand these things; they only follow the simplest logic.
When a person doesn't want one thing but wants another, it means the latter is more important to them.
Following this logic, since Ye Yan prefers Qin Su to quietly stay with him rather than enjoy fleeting pleasure, then that means...
The cat immediately assessed Ye Yan's affection level and realized, "Ye Yan has already fallen in love with you?"
Qin Su glanced at it and acquiesced.
The cat flicked its tail.
It realized that what was happening tonight seemed important, but it didn't know why.
It was completely baffled: "How could this be... You didn't do anything!"
Qin Su said, "It's because we didn't do anything."
Sometimes doing nothing is more valuable than doing everything.
Cat: "..."
Love is truly the most difficult problem to solve in the world.
Unable to understand, it simply asked the crucial question directly: "The person making the wish didn't specify a required value for affection, so if Ye Yan falls in love with you, is our mission complete? Can we leave now?"
This question had been asked of Qin Su many times in different worlds, and Qin Su's answer each time was nothing more than "It's okay" or "It's not okay yet".
But this time, after it asked the question, Qin Su did not answer immediately.
The cat tilted its head in confusion, noticing a rare hint of hesitation on Qin Su's face.
Cat: "Susu, what's wrong?"
Qin Su said, "...Wait a little longer."
The cat wondered, "Why do we have to wait?"
Qin Su paused for a few seconds, then mumbled, "There are other things."
The cat blinked: "Is there anything else?"
It suddenly realized something: "Oh, I remember now, is it because of luck points?"
When Qin Su first met Ye Yan, she said that she wanted to gain some of Ye Yan's luck points.
Qin Su hadn't actually thought of this. She paused for a moment, then reluctantly replied, "I guess so."
The cat licked its paws and said in a childish voice, "It's so strange, Su Su. We've seen so many chosen ones before, but none of them have such a strong luck value."
Moreover, Ye Yan is clearly not the protagonist of this world.
This is unreasonable.
It is important to know that in every world there are some chosen ones or women whose luck is exceptionally strong.
There may be equally matched beings in their world, but none will be far superior to them.
As an important figure, Ye Yan's luck value should be high, but it shouldn't be this high.
How could his luck be stronger than that of the female lead, Zhao Nuannuan?
Qin Su said, "It is a bit suspicious, but from my observation, there is nothing special about Ye Yan."
The cat thought for a moment and recalled, "It could also be another situation."
"In the last world, we met someone named Jiang Huaixue, Su Su, do you remember her?"
Qin Su raised an eyebrow: "Of course I remember."
In the previous world, Qin Su's wish was to become a top-tier interstellar mecha maker.
She stayed in the interstellar world for five years. In the fourth year, while rejecting a suitor at a restaurant, she encountered a stunningly beautiful woman.
Although the other person had a completely different temperament and style from her, with her worldly experience, she still thought the other person was exceptionally beautiful.
She could tell at a glance that the other party had an amazing luck value, and was probably a demigod from some other world who had accidentally wandered into this place, so she kindly gave him a reminder.
That person was Jiang Huaixue.
In Jiang Huaixue's view, they were probably just strangers who met by chance and that was their only encounter.
She had no idea that Qin Su had seen her once more.
At the time, Qin Su was bored and was playing around by blowing up mechs on a deserted planet.
Flames soared into the sky, the earth shook, and the dazzling light from the exploding mechs was enough to get many people excited.
Qin Su propped her head up and watched, but found it all rather boring.
She saw Jiang Huaixue for the second time when she was about to leave.
Jiang Huaixue and her group seemed to have just finished participating in some competition. The group returned in a lively atmosphere, and in a corner unnoticed by the others, she quietly shook hands with another man surnamed Xie.
To be fair, Jiang Huaixue and that person did not do anything overly intimate.
But the secretive atmosphere between them stirred something in Qin Su, who was watching from afar.
She had received many wishes, but none of them were related to love. At that moment, she seemed to be lost in thought.
So Qin Su asked the cat, "Tong'er, shouldn't we try something new?"
The cat obediently replied, "I'll do whatever Susu says."
This led to Qin Su choosing this particular wish from countless others, and thus coming to this world.
"Are you saying that Ye Yan and Jiang Huaixue were in the same situation back then, both coming from other worlds? That's why their luck values are so incredibly high?"
Cat: "It's just a guess."
Qin Su frowned.
She tilted her head and glanced at Ye Yan.
Ye Yan slept peacefully, the moonlight blurring the sharp contours of his eyebrows and eyes, giving him a gentle and warm appearance.
Unlike when she is sober, she is not cold and aloof, but exudes a distant aura that says "don't come near me".
Is it possible that such a person is not the real Ye Yan?
Qin Su pondered this possibility.
The cat whispered, "But I was just saying it casually. What happens to him has nothing to do with us. We're just here to do a mission."
Qin Su remained silent.
After a long pause, she said, "You're right, we're just here to do a mission."

(Huai Xue is the female protagonist of the previous book. In the extra chapter, she accidentally enters a parallel universe in interstellar space and has a brief encounter with Su Su.)
It's okay if you haven't read the previous book, as there shouldn't be any further interaction. The main purpose is to explain why Su Su suddenly wanted to undertake romance-related wish-granting tasks.
