The cafeteria was a mess of dishes and cups, and the atmosphere instantly froze.
The rice plate crashed to the ground with a loud clatter.
Almost everyone stopped what they were doing and looked toward the source of the problem, toward the dining table of several Super Soldier Squad members.
Qi Lin and Du Qiangwei also stood up worriedly, looking at Wang Ji with concern and then at the other side with care.
Two adjacent dining tables. Lena looked at the spilled drinks and food on the floor with a wronged expression. Mengmeng and Ali looked at Lena and the mess on the floor with concern. Ge Xiaolun and Zhao Xin also looked at a loss.
Cheng Yaowen, who was standing to the side, snorted coldly. He had some drink stains on his clothes, glanced at the ground with disdain, and walked away without looking back.
Lena looked at him with apology and grievance in her eyes, hesitant to speak, as if she couldn't open her mouth.
"Wait, Brother Yaowen, if you're not in a hurry, let's get this straight before you go."
The next second, Wang Ji appeared in front of Cheng Yaowen, stopped him, and said.
Cheng Yaowen stopped, and Wang Ji was not surprised to see some apprehension and gloom on his face.
"Wang Ji, don't..." Lena quickly interjected, "Don't get involved."
Qi Lin and Du Qiangwei also stood up worriedly and carefully walked over, unsure of who to advise.
They vaguely knew some things about Lena and Cheng Yaowen, but not much. They also vaguely understood that Wang Ji was always wary of this matter and unwilling to get involved, and Lena didn't want them to get involved either.
However, the impact of this matter has indeed been felt for some time now.
“Wang Ji.” Cheng Yaowen looked at Wang Ji with apprehension, but did not leave. He understood Wang Ji’s abilities, or rather, his strength.
Any one of those bizarre abilities could easily crush most of the super soldiers in the Super Soldier Squad, such as those grenades and that extremely strange immobilization spell.
He understands this deeply.
"The eighty-third time, if I remember correctly, this should be the eighty-third time of your disagreement with Lena, and I have never interfered even once." Wang Ji did not retreat as Lena had instructed, but instead looked at Cheng Yaowen and said directly.
“Cold words, cold remarks, cold snorts, sarcasm… Sometimes I was there, sometimes I wasn’t.” He looked at Cheng Yaowen and spoke of the past: “I think you should know why I’ve never intervened.”
“You never interfered…” Cheng Yaowen suddenly sneered, seemingly disdainful.
"Is what you said... a question?" Wang Ji frowned immediately. Although it was only for a moment, he sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Cheng Yaowen sneered again, then nonchalantly raised his hand: "Go on, I'm listening. Anyway, I know that if you try to stop me, I definitely won't be able to leave."
No one was surprised by Cheng Yaowen's attitude. In fact, for the past few months, Cheng Yaowen had always acted this way whenever he met Lena, and his face was always gloomy. Everyone had gotten used to it.
More or less, everyone has heard some things about princes and star systems. It seems that Cheng Yaowen's home was destroyed by some god or something, which seems to be related to Lena's grandfather.
Wang Ji frowned, but after thinking for a moment, he continued, "Let me be frank with you, I know about the entanglements between you and Lena's family and country, but I also know that what I know is impossible to be completely clear about, so I will not take sides."
As Lena's boyfriend, I can't just sit idly by. I'm not saying whether she's wronged or deserves to be wronged, but I believe you're definitely the victim.
I have no right to judge your country, your ancestors' affairs.
But now we're teammates.
Cheng Yaowen frowned, and suddenly felt a little dazed.
It seems like he's never seen a Wang Ji like this before? Or has it been a long time since he's seen one?
I can't quite remember, but Wang Ji always seemed to be sitting on that high rooftop, always busy for some unknown reason, so I rarely saw him.
Young, mysterious, powerful, and proud, looking down on everything—that seemed to be his impression of Wang Ji.
However, Cheng Yaowen felt that he seemed to remember that Wang Ji had a side that treated people equally... but it was also very vague.
In his mind, Wang Ji would definitely try to reconcile him with Lena in a particularly forceful and arrogant manner, or make him apologize to Lena.
It seems different now, but... ha!
"I don't expect you to let go of the past quickly. I think if it were me, I would also find it difficult to let go easily."
Although I also feel sorry for Lena's silent guilt and sadness at times, I think your pain may be many times greater than hers... But now we are all young people, comrades-in-arms. Can we sit down and have a good talk for the sake of the friendship we have built up together?
Whether it's reconciliation or a complete falling out, there has to be a process of communication... just like now." Wang Ji gestured with his hand to indicate the water stains on Cheng Yaowen's clothes: "Lena accidentally splashed you, that's clearly her fault. Can't you give her a chance to apologize? It's what she should do, and what she can do."
To be honest, Wang Ji never knew how to get involved in the matter between Lena and Cheng Yaowen. More than 10,000 years ago, Cheng Yaowen's home was destroyed by a solar flare from Lena's grandfather. Regardless of the rights and wrongs, there seemed to be some secrets involved, but Cheng Yaowen was indeed the biggest victim.
Cheng Yaowen didn't know who the culprit was who destroyed his home before, but he does now.
Lena clearly knew before, but she wouldn't know if Cheng Yaowen knew or not. She was always carefree, optimistic, and cheerful, so she might not always have this on her mind. She always proudly declared to others, "I am your goddess!"
