Chapter 10 No Male Companion
Old Xia carried the bottle of low-quality green nutrient solution to Anita's bedside and asked kindly, "My dear lady, how are you feeling now?"
Anita was stared at by four young men, and her face turned red with shame. She didn't know where to put her hands.
Hearing Lao Xia's question, she replied a little embarrassedly: "I, I feel a little dizzy."
She thought to herself that she must have been tortured too hard by the black bear before, otherwise why would she be so dizzy?
Lao Xia looked at the old instrument, thoughtfully.
He poured the nutrient solution into a glass and handed it to Anrita, saying gently, "Miss Anrita, I'm so sorry, but our shelter is located in a remote area and supplies are very scarce. I have no choice but to ask you to drink this nutrient solution. I hope you don't mind. You are very weak now and urgently need nutrition."
Although this inferior nutrient solution contains very little nutrients, it can at least prevent people from starving.
Anita actually hated drinking nutrient solution. She wasn't a native of this world, but rather a time traveler. As someone who once grew up in a flower-growing family, she had high dietary requirements!
During the years she lived in the White Pagoda, she cooked almost all her meals. She didn't like those expensive and flavorful nutrient solutions, let alone this bitter plant nutrient solution.
But Anrita knew in her heart that she was lucky to be rescued on this desolate planet and could not ask for more.
She stretched out her fair and slender hand, took the cup handed to her by Lao Xia, and said gratefully: "Thank you, I don't mind, it's great to have something to eat."
Lao Xia looked at Anrita with loving eyes: "Don't worry, Miss Anrita, I will do my best to take good care of you."
After all, Anrita is the first counselor their counseling center has had in a hundred years. Even if he has to do his best, he will make sure Anrita is properly taken care of.
The other four team members felt distressed when they heard Anrita say, "It's enough to fill our stomachs."
Edmund's eyes were red with pain: "Ms. Anrita, you have suffered so much."
Anita scratched her head a little embarrassedly: "Ah, it's okay, really."
Gar squatted beside Edmund. They knelt beside the bed, their hands resting on the edge. They were almost as tall as Anita, who was sitting on the bed. They looked at Anita at eye level, their eyes full of love and admiration.
Gar sighed and said firmly, "Don't worry, Miss Anrita. When we return to the main planet, we will definitely find the best nutrient solution in the entire galaxy and send it to you! The Eugene family is engaged in nutrient solution research and development, and they have all kinds of flavors!"
Anrita smiled weakly: "No need to go through so much trouble..." She was really not interested in the nutrient solution.
At this time, Anrita's stomach was growling with hunger. She had not eaten much since she was stranded on this desolate planet. She was captured by the black bear and tormented for a day and a night. She suspected that she was dizzy and unconscious, not only because her mental energy was over-consumed, but also because she might have hypoglycemia due to being hungry for too long.
When people are hungry, they can no longer be picky. The most important thing is to survive.
Under everyone's heated gaze, Anita gently sipped the nutrient solution. Instantly, a bitter taste spread across her tongue, accompanied by a mixture of plant and fishy aromas that instantly filled her entire mouth.
Anita's eyes suddenly widened, and before her brain could react, she subconsciously pulled out a few tissues and spat out the nutrient solution in her mouth.
The taste is so strange, bitter, astringent, and with a pungent fishy smell, as if bitter melon juice, dry branch juice and raw fish juice are mixed together. It is almost impossible to swallow.
She couldn't imagine that the people on this planet relied on this kind of thing to make a living every day. What hope was there in such a life? The smell made her tears flow and her mouth was full of a foul taste.
With tears in her eyes, she looked at Edmund and Gar, who were both in shock, and apologized awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
The smell is really unbearable!
Eugene and Charlie stood aside. Eugene frowned distressedly: "Ms. Anrita, you don't have to apologize. This nutrient solution is really unpalatable."
They have been here for more than a month and have drunk a lot of this nutrient solution. Even the males like them who are not too picky about taste find it difficult to swallow, let alone the delicate and noble Anrita?
Anita was a little embarrassed: "Actually, the taste is not bad, I can eat it..."
She forced a smile and looked at the cup in her hand, looking like she was mustering up her courage.
Edmund was touched by her appearance. "Oh my God, Miss Anrita is so cute and gentle! I have never seen such a gentle little female. I must become your partner, otherwise I will be single for the rest of my life!"
Edmund's words spoke for everyone. In this world, females were rare and extremely precious, protected by strict laws.
Most females are spoiled and arrogant. If it was not Anita but other females from the White Tower sitting here today, they would not communicate properly with Eugene and the others, and would not even look at them straight in the eye, but would just order them around.
If the females were asked to drink this inferior nutrient solution, they might throw the cup and nutrient solution at Lao Xia's head on the spot.
Just as Anita held her breath, frowned, and was about to try to drink another sip of the nutrient solution, Charlie, who had been silent all the time, suddenly walked forward, stretched out his big hand, and took the cup from her hand.
Anrita was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him.
Charlie put the cup on the cabinet beside the bed. His face was a little serious, but when his eyes met Anita's, his ears turned slightly red.
He said in a low and magnetic voice, "If you don't want to drink, don't drink it. This kind of thing is not something a noble female like you should drink."
Anita pursed her lips. She really didn't want to drink, but she frowned aggrievedly: "But I'm so hungry."
She leaned on the pillow behind her, her face pale and her figure petite, looking very adorable.
The hearts of several male team members melted when they saw her like this.
Charlie said to Anrita gently, "Miss Anrita, please bear with me for a while. I'll go get you something to eat and I'll be back soon."
When Anrita heard that she could buy food, her eyes lit up and she asked expectantly, "Is this convenient? Is there a place to buy food here?"
If she could buy it, she would also like to go. Although her storage terminal was unusable after being stranded on the garbage planet, she still had some valuable things on her, such as bracelets and necklaces made of expensive energy stones.
In the interstellar world, energy stones are like the gold in her previous world. They are hard currency and can be exchanged for money to buy food!
Edmund, Gal, and Eugene all turned their eyes to Charlie.
They all had savings, but the inner city was strictly checked, so they had always tried to avoid going there. Charlie had also always forbidden them to go to the inner city, but now he took the initiative to suggest going shopping?
Charlie glanced at everyone and said to Anrita, "You can buy it, but the process is a bit troublesome. But don't worry, I'll be fine."
After saying that, he stood up and instructed the other three team members: "You stay here and protect Miss Anrita. If there is any emergency, I will send a signal."
Eugene nodded and watched Charlie leave.
Edmund sat down on the bed and moved closer to Anita, his brown eyes sparkling. "Miss Anita, I'd like to ask, how many male partners do you have now?"
Anita was stunned for a moment, her face slightly flushed: "Ah? A partner... I don't have one yet."
Edmund's eyes widened in surprise. "No? You mean, you still don't have any male partner?"
Gal and Eugene were also a little surprised. They turned their heads and stared at Anrita with fiery eyes.
Anita was a little confused. Is it strange to not have a partner? It's not illegal.
