Chapter 40: After all this fuss, is it unrequited love?
Li Xingye looked at Qiangzi sullenly. He wanted to say something but didn't know where to start. He could only turn his head away and continue looking at the sky.
Qiangzi looked at Li Xingye's rare childish look and found it funny, yet he inexplicably wanted to sigh.
Only at this moment could one barely see that the man in front of him, who was protecting the entire base by himself, was actually only twenty years old.
When I was so busy and couldn’t even afford to eat, anything else was a luxury.
But now, with the supply of food, the base is slowly getting back on track and everyone is at peace.
Naturally, you will have enough energy to think about other things.
What would a twenty-year-old young man worry about? Qiangzi smiled and felt relieved.
He smiled teasingly: "Little Brother Li, what's the matter? Did you want to pledge your love to me but was rejected by the Space God?"
Li Xingye didn't want to pay any attention to Qiangzi, but his words hit him right in the heart.
"What do you mean by pledge of love? Don't talk nonsense..." Li Xingye's retort seemed weak: "She...she lives in a bright and clean place, with her own friends and family. In the future...she will naturally find the right person to accompany her for the rest of her life..."
At this point, Li Xingye felt a lump in his throat and was unable to continue.
Qiangzi was smiling at first, but after hearing what Li Xingye said, he couldn't help but restrain his expression. He thought to himself: Oh no, looking at the situation, I'm not really going to get into trouble, am I?
But when he thought about what Li Xingye had said before, he could roughly understand why.
After all, how could people like them, who were struggling in the end times and forced to become filthy, refuse a girl like the Goddess of Space who had a sense of redemption?
Especially a young man like their brother Xiao Li, who has lived for twenty years and has never had a normal relationship with a normal girl.
Qiangzi didn't know what was going on between Li Xingye and the Space God, and he didn't dare to joke around anymore. He could only ask cautiously, "What kind of girl is the Space God?"
Speaking of this, Li Xingye suddenly became talkative. His expression was hazy with memories, but if you look closely you can see a hint of sweetness: "She...has a very nice and sweet voice, and always looks full of energy, like the sun.
"She just...she just loves to act like a spoiled brat. Whenever she does, her voice becomes soft, and no matter what she asks for, it's hard to refuse. But she never asks for anything excessive, even though she knows I can do more for her.
"Even if she encounters something bad, she is still very strong. I have never seen a girl like her. It's like, the most beautiful things in the world are placed in front of her, but when she smiles, those things will be eclipsed..."
Li Xingye was still talking happily, but Qiangzi, who was standing beside him, felt more and more disheartened the more he listened: It's over, it's really over this time.
This sentence did not mention the help given to them by the Space God. Every word focused on her. This was deeper than he thought...
Qiangzi looked at Li Xingye, who was lost in his memories, with some reluctance, and suddenly he couldn't say those words of reminder.
Li Xingye seemed to sense something and turned his head, only to see the conflicted expression on Qiangzi's face that he had not had time to hide.
He suddenly came back to his senses from those beautiful moments and smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, Brother Qiang, I understand. I just..."
But I still couldn't help but indulge.
How can someone who has seen the light be content to remain in darkness?
Initially, he was still a little confused about where the gratitude and concern came from, but when he realized that he was only upset because of the assumption that "Chi Wanhui had a boyfriend", Li Xingye became more sober than ever before.
He stood up and patted Qiangzi on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I know what is the most important thing. I will go out tomorrow, this time I will go further and sweep the surrounding cities. You guys guard the base and contact me anytime if you have any questions."
Qiangzi also stood up and sighed softly: "Well, the situation between you two is troublesome, but it is not hopeless. Since her space can connect the two of you, maybe there will be a way to let you pass through the space completely in the future?"
Unexpectedly, his words made Li Xingye's tongue full of bitterness: "She just treats me as a friend. She has a brighter life, and she will naturally meet someone who loves her wholeheartedly."
Even if I could really travel through space, do I have to watch her run towards happiness?
Qiangzi was finally speechless.
He looked at Li Xingye's suddenly haggard back, and hesitated to speak: After all this fuss, are you still here in unrequited love? !
But he suddenly thought of what Duan Qianyu said.
Before, he saw that Duan Qianyu seemed to be very familiar with various instruments and equipment, and even supernatural powers, so he asked her indirectly whether it was possible for a space channel to appear, connecting two different worlds.
Unexpectedly, Duan Qianyu said that excessive fluctuations between superpowers might cause space cracks, thus connecting the two time and space.
Qiangzi always felt that the reason why Li Xingye was so depressed was that, to put it bluntly, he felt that he and the God of Space were not in the same world.
But what if one day, we can really reach the place of the God of Space?
Although Qiangzi watched Li Xingye grow up over the years, he was obviously much older than Li Xingye, but he had always been protected by Li Xingye.
Qiangzi hopes Li Xingye can be happy more than anyone else.
Even though the road to happiness may be extremely tortuous, they brothers have to make some efforts for it.
At least, they cannot let their youngest brother, who is just beginning to fall in love, lose at the starting line.

Early the next morning, Zhuo Yu hurried to interview for first-hand information.
When Chi Wan woke up, he heard that the village chief had been taken away.
When you pull out a radish, you bring out the mud. In recent years, apart from Chi Yuanshan, who was taken advantage of, the village chief has done a lot of things, both overtly and covertly. Some of these businesses are shady and are related to Liu Dali and his group.
No wonder he wanted to protect Liu Dali no matter what.
This time, Chi Wan pulled away the fig leaf. Not only was there an uproar among the villagers, but the group of people in Liu Dali's family who had always wanted to cause trouble finally became completely obedient.
After all, the only umbrella of protection in the village was gone, and Liu Dali could no longer change the outcome of going to jail. Even the villagers who had originally stood on their side began to point fingers at them.
However, Chi Wan quietly established connections in the city.
As one side gained strength while the other lost strength, Xu Cuifen and the others naturally did not dare to bring bad luck to Chi Wan's family again.
A few days passed like this, and as the villagers believed they had "reconciled" with Chi Wan's family, gradually, some people began to tentatively ask Chi Wan and Song Yinghe if they needed help with their orchard.
After all, in previous years when the fruits were ripe, Liu Dali would ask people from the village to do the work and paid them generously.
After all, good things should be kept within the family.
Unexpectedly, Chi Wan rejected it outright.
