Looking at Helan Yuan, Zi Xi suddenly burst out laughing a beat late and asked him, "Do you think I should give the things to the research institute? Or... are you jealous?"
His agitated questioning, coupled with his status as a member of the First Legion, likely stemmed from his belief that she should hand over the items to the research institute for study.
He Lanyuan's expression instantly froze; he was so angry he almost choked.
This was the first time he had ever felt such a lump in his throat, a feeling of suffocation in his chest.
"Yes, I'm jealous."
"After spending a month together day and night, aren't we friends?"
Mrs. Luo coughed lightly and gracefully sat back down, but the corners of her mouth were noticeably turned up 0.5 degrees.
Luo Ming silently turned his head away, his shoulders twitching suspiciously.
friend?
They're all so jealous, yet they still think they're just friends with their slow-witted sister?
"We're friends, huh? Here, my friend, have two rare apples for you."
Zi Xi suddenly realized and took out two more bright red apples from her bracelet.
He Lanyuan accepted the apples expressionlessly, staring at the two large apples in his hand, hating her for being such a blockhead.
He wants something unique, does she even understand that?
But he was also a person of pride, and he would never speak up...
"Hey, you cheapskate, you won't be shortchanged! We've been the Twin Beasts for a month, after all!"
Seeing Helan Yuan's face gradually darken, Zi Xi chuckled and took out a blue rose she had prepared beforehand from her bracelet.
"Thanks."
He Lanyuan's attention was completely drawn to the blue rose, and his voice of thanks was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
Although the colors are different, he recognized it; it was a flower used to express love in ancient times, called a rose.
He stared at it and suddenly felt something in his chest cavity swelling and burning uncontrollably, like a spark that had been forcibly submerged in water, struggling to stay lit.
Why did she give him this?
Is this the only flower you have, or is this the only one you want to give him?
Does she know what the rose symbolizes on ancient Earth?
Is she like this to everyone?
The thought, like a tiny thorn, unexpectedly pierced his nerves, which he thought were already cold.
"Although this flower doesn't smell as sweet as jasmine, it's very resilient!"
Zi Xi continued to explain, afraid that her childish friend would get angry again.
Helan Yuan suddenly clenched his fist.
That's so strange.
He had almost lost the ability to feel pain, yet at this moment he clearly felt a strange, almost burning pain piercing his heart.
"I'm leaving."
"The legion still has missions to complete."
He heard his own cold, hard voice repeating itself, as if trying to persuade someone.
"Okay, you left so much food, that should be enough for you. If not, you can buy more from my shop later. I'm getting ready to open my shop!"
"I'll send you the shop address later, you must help me promote it..."
Zi Xi's smile paused for a moment, but quickly brightened again. Thinking about it this way, He Lan could help her spread the word when she got back!
"You...you don't have anything to say?"
This was the first time Helan Yuan had ever been so rude in interrupting her to continue speaking.
Zi Xi tilted her head: "Huh? Be careful on the road!"
"I will contact you if there is any problem with it."
He paused, his voice so low it was almost inaudible.
He Lanyuan's knuckles tightened slightly under his gloves.
Rationally, he knew he had no right to argue.
They had only been colleagues for a month, and didn't even seem to be friends, at least that's what Zi Xi thought.
But the unfamiliar restlessness in his chest was impossible to suppress.
She didn't seem to miss it at all?
He was so affectionate towards the Luo family mother and son, but when it came to him, all he said was a polite "Be careful on the road"?!
He turned and walked out of the Luo family's spaceship.
He dared not turn around, afraid to see her expression of utter indifference.
That would make his heart feel even worse.
